Chapter 535: Rising Wages and High Interest Rates on Deposits
There are so many people in the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is definitely impossible for all of them to fly to Wuxi.
Only by train.
It takes almost a day to get from Beijing to Wuxi, which is not far for the long-distance train voyage that now takes two or three days at every turn.
The crew chartered two full carriages for the cast and crew to sit, so there were no outsiders here.
This is because some people have already gone to Wuxi before and started filming the drama of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", otherwise the two carriages would not be enough.
Naturally, Xuluo sat with acquaintances.
Including Zhang Guangbei, Pu Chunxin, Gao Yalin, Jiang Chao and others.
Sitting on the other side of the aisle were Tang Guiqiang and a few unfamiliar actors, and after they got in the car, they began to communicate in a whisper, seemingly discussing the plot.
As for the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang, they have already gone to Wuxi, after all, they are the main ones in the first episode of "Taoyuan Three Knots".
"Xiao Luo, this is the first time you have taken a train in recent years, right?" Zhang Guangbei peeled the orange and asked casually.
"Hmm."
"Sometimes it saves time, and sometimes it feels like the train is too crowded. ”
"I also want to fly every time I go out to act." Pu Chunxin sighed, "But I don't have that much money, a plane ticket is enough for my salary for a few months, I can't bear it." ”
"Haven't you been raising wages for the past two years?" Xu Luo said, "For example, this year, after the beginning of the year, the salary increase of government agencies, enterprises and institutions will increase by 120 percent, right?" ”
"That's not enough."
Zhang Guangbei handed out the oranges and let everyone eat them, "In recent years, it has risen from more than 200 to 300, which seems like a lot at first glance, but it is not enough for plane tickets and not enough for price increases...... You ask Xiao Gao and Xiao Jiang, are they enough? ”
Gao Yalin ate oranges and said with a smile: "It's probably enough, we are a military academy, and we can't spend any money." ”
Jiang Chao said: "The money is just not enough, and my mother is still going to give me 50 yuan of pocket money a month...... Although there is a subsidy for empty talk here, but a few days ago I went out to see, a better shirt is more than 30! Pierre Cardin is more expensive, more than 100! ”
Xuluo wanted to laugh when he listened.
He had heard Chen Xiyue talk about it.
The brand Pierre Cardin is definitely third-rate abroad - it can't even rank second-rate.
The reason why it is so popular in China is that in the 70s, Pierre Cardin brought foreign models to China to open a fashion show, which caused a sensation across the country.
It is no exaggeration to say that at that time, you had to use a lot of relationship with a ticket, and you didn't even think about what section chief was in general.
In the following years, Pierre Cardin did many fashion shows in Beijing, Shanghai, eastern Guangdong and other places, and after expanding his influence, he brought his clothing brand to China.
Since then, everyone thinks that Pierre Cardin brand clothes, ties, shoes or something, is world-class, this has been five or six years, everyone still thinks Pierre Cardin is amazing, cowhide.
Chanel, Prada, Armani, Givenchy, etc., which are truly world-class, are not well known at all.
Come back to the present.
In the past few years, wages have been raised everywhere in the country, and the magnitude is very high.
For example, the average wage increase in 88 years reached 20.9%, from 122 to 147 per month, and in the next three years, the average remained at about 10%.
Therefore, this year's national average salary is 226 yuan, which has reached about 300 yuan in provincial capital-level cities, and more than 350 in super-first-class cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
Compared to previous years, it has almost doubled.
But this does not mean that people are getting more and more purchasing power, and more and more things are added to their homes.
This is because prices of all kinds are also skyrocketing like crazy.
The most famous is the price break in 88, the kind of madness that has risen several times a day, and Xuluo can remember it clearly now.
If it were not for the hasty strict control and re-control and planning, it is estimated that severe inflation would have crushed this fragile economy.
Even now, because prices and wages are not proportional to the increase, people do not dare to spend lavishly even if their wages are raised.
For a lot of people, it's better than the early '80s.
At that time, although wages were small, prices were very stable, and people could expect to buy things as long as they saved money.
It's not like in the last few years, when you have saved money, but after two or three years, you find that you still can't afford what you want to buy.
Of course, the state still has countermeasures.
That is to increase the interest rate on deposits.
For example, the one-year deposit interest rate adjusted in April 90 was as high as 10.08%, 7.74% for half a year, and as high as 13.68% for five years.
Last year, it was adjusted again, and it was reduced quite a bit, with a one-year period of 7.56%, a half-year period of 5.4%, and a five-year period of 9%.
To say that the deposit interest rate is really high.
Xuluo went abroad to learn that there was a one-year deposit interest rate of 8% in 90 years, but it was 5.69% last year, and it plummeted to 3.52% at the beginning of this year, which is only half of that of Huaguo.
The same is true of benzene, which has been stagnant in the economy, which was 6% in 90 years, but has now plummeted to less than 4%.
The increase in wages and deposit interest rates on the Chinese side has made it possible for ordinary people to resist large-scale inflation at once, which is a good thing.
Those who can receive wages still feel that they are not enough to spend.
Especially young people, thinking about something, and then looking at the money in their purse, they look up with tears in their eyes.
Including the group of young and middle-aged people in front of him, this is the case.
To say that Pu Chunxin's identity and status are really very good, he has already been a pillar of human art, not to mention, he has starred in a lot of movies and TV series.
As a result, how much is his salary?
470 pieces!
This is still the first-class salary of their talents, which is higher than that of the dean.
A BP machine costs more than 1,000!
"The main thing is that all kinds of materials are abundant, and everyone has more places to spend money." After coming back to his senses, Xuluo said: "Now the things that everyone wants to buy are more than ten times more than ten times more than ten years ago, how can the salary be enough in this way?"
In the past, when my parents were in the day, it was very satisfying to have a bicycle and a sewing machine. In the 80s, I was able to buy a TV, a washing machine, and a refrigerator, and I was satisfied, and there was no other expense at all.
And now what about everyone? I had to buy several sets of clothes, shoes, and often went out to eat, and I didn't stop buying watches and electronics, so I naturally felt that the money was not enough. ”
"Who wouldn't want a better life?" Zhang Guangbei shook his head next to him and said: "Although everyone says that there is no way to go back to the past days!" But if I want to say, it's best if you can't go back! Now life is getting better and better, this is to enjoy life! This kind of life is meaningful! ”
"Brother Zhang, you're right!"
Jiang Chao next to him nodded again and again, "Just like this BP machine!" When I finish filming "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I will scrape together some more money, and I must buy one! ”
Xuluo laughed, "Chao, you're a bit of a big difference!" If you don't ask for money from your family, you have to save for half a year! ”
The actors of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are paid very low.
The highest ones, such as Teacher Bao who plays Cao Cao, Teacher Tang who plays Zhuge Liang, and Teacher Sun who plays Liu Bei, are all 250 yuan per episode.
This has to be the episodes where you have the main scene, or you'll have to give it away for nothing.
The rest of the people are even lower, such as Jiang Chao, a character in one or two episodes, at most 100 yuan.
"Hehe, I have the brand of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and in the future, I will enter those crews to do chores and shoot a little more scenes, won't I be able to make it up?" Jiang Chao said with a smile, "It's like saying that Luo Ye, your company, there are so many dramas, there are a lot of needs for various actors, we are young and can make good actors, can you do not want me to go?" ”
He also understands the market.
Now all the actors in Huaguo know that Luohe Film and Television gives the highest salary.
Whether it is a formal crew actor or an ordinary actor, it is more than twice as high as that of TV stations and film studios.
Especially for actors with roles, they can get at least about 2000-3000 in three months to half a year.
Not to mention the main actors, after a play, a 10,000-yuan household is proper.
Jiang Chao doesn't ask for more, during school, participated in the filming of two or three TV series, and earned a BP machine, is it difficult?
Xu Luo nodded and shook his head when he heard this, "Our drama can't be compared with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", like this kind of TV series, it is a rare honor to appear in one in life, without the power of the entire Chinese film and television industry, it can't be completed at all." ”
"That's it."
Zhang Guangbei answered again, "Don't say anything else, for "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there are more than 30,000 troops dispatched, how can a private company do a good job?" …… Xiaoluo, the film and television of Xiangjiang and Baodao, when encountering big scenes, are dozens or hundreds of people enough? ”
"Yes."
Xu Luo said, "Now the labor in Xiangjiang and Baodao is very expensive, and it is becoming more and more unaffordable to shoot large-scale film and television dramas, and dozens of people are considered to be too many...... It's not as good as it was more than ten years ago! ”
More than ten years ago, when filming "Genghis Khan" wirelessly, people had to be sent to the grassland to shoot it, and thousands of Mongolian men were invited to shoot war scenes.
But a few years later, the super classic "The Legend of the Shooting Heroes", filming the story of Guo Jing and Genghis Khan, was all filmed in the woods and lawns of the New Territories - dozens of people used editing and other methods to make up the scene of the army fighting, which was really embarrassing.
This is not an isolated case, in fact, since then, Xiangjiang's film and television have done so.
Treasure Island is naturally not much better, as more and more private companies enter the film and television dramas, the scene is becoming more and more stingy.
It's not like the mainland, ten years ago there were "Journey to the West" and "Dream of Red Mansions", and now there is "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and it is said that "Water Margin" is also being actively planned!
Xuluo pondered that if the director of "Water Margin" came to him again, he would still be willing to play the role.
Well, forget about the big official of Ximen, it's okay to play a little Li Guanghuarong.
It's just that I don't know who will play Pan Jinlian, who will play Yan Poxi, and who will play the Three Ladies......
Pan Jinlian's words are still the most suitable for Teacher Fu Yiwei!
