Huayu, can you be called the best actor if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 8 High Income

"Drip~"

After a slight sound, the door opened.

Walking into the room on the thick carpet, Li Luo looked around with curiosity at the place where he would live for at least the next six months.

This is a double room.

Not only is there a bathtub, but it is also equipped with air conditioning, color TV and a large sofa.

Outside the huge window, you can see the swaying treetops.

The view is extremely broad.

Compared with the eight-person room in Hengdian, it's like heaven.

From now on, you will no longer be woken up by strange shaking in the middle of the night, or be kept awake all night by smelly feet or deafening snoring.

As expected of Zhang Da Huzi, a small crew really can’t afford such treatment.

I can only live in a single room, and I don’t know what the protagonist’s residence will be like, maybe it’s a five-star hotel.

The entertainment industry is extremely realistic.

Not only are the levels clear, but all kinds of treatment are also directly linked to one's status.

Now that’s not an exaggeration.

In a dozen years or so, celebrities, big and small, will feel embarrassed to go out for events without a few assistants and a large team of security guards.

There's nothing I can do about it, this is Vanity Fair.

If you don't fight for some treatment, others will be rude to you.

Small-time people need to elevate their status.

Big names are afraid of losing their status.

Except for those big names who are truly confident, most people in the entertainment industry cannot avoid using pomp and circumstance to compete for fame and fortune.

Shaking off those thoughts, Li Luo happily put his personal clothes into the closet.

After a wash.

I lay down on the soft big bed and fell into a deep sleep.

After a day and night of rest, the idle Li Luo was soon visited by producer Wang Weiguo, who was accompanied by the legal staff of the crew.

As for Zhang Da Hu Zi, he was busy with other things.

After listening to the explanations from Wang Weiguo and the legal staff, he carefully read the performance contract prepared by the crew.

Although he didn't quite understand it, he was not in a position to bargain.

But we still need to correct our attitude.

At the very least, you should not give others the impression that you are easy to fool.

As a new actor, the crew of "Swordsman" offered him 1,500 yuan per episode. At this price, it was definitely a win-win situation.

By using newcomers, the crew can save a lot of money.

For Li Luo, what he needs more is this opportunity, and the price offered by the crew cannot be said to be a rip-off. After all, every industry has its own rules, and as a newcomer, one should not demand too much.

He felt very happy to receive this salary.

You should know that the average salary of urban workers at that time was only 700 to 800 yuan a month.

The average annual salary is less than 10,000.

Even though extras in Hengdian can earn 30 yuan a day, it is considered good if they can get 20 days of acting in a month.

The character of Lin Pingzhi appears almost throughout the entire play. As a 40-episode TV series, Li Luo needs to appear in as many as episodes, which is calculated at yuan per episode.

Here is forty-six thousand five hundred dollars.

The shooting period is estimated to be about five months, which means the daily salary will be nearly three hundred and ten yuan.

Although compared to the actors who played other important roles.

A lot less.

But it’s only 00, and it’s already considered a high income!
No wonder so many people are trying so hard to get into this circle, especially in later generations, as long as you make a name for yourself, money will come like the wind.

There is a ray of light in front.

Six hundred and fifty yuan is not enough for breakfast.

There is also the bowl-smashing brother. When he was at his poorest, he only had a cold, hard million yuan left in his bank card.

It feels great in the end.

A daily income of 208 million is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

When he was looking through the contract, Wang Weiguo also introduced that the salary was not negotiable, but given the importance of the role of Lin Pingzhi, the crew would improve his living conditions.

For example, the room that Li Luo is currently staying in is one of them. No matter how rich the crew is, it is impossible for each person to have a single room.

Being thrifty is a must.

Many newcomers like him live in double or quadruple rooms.

In fact, there was no need for Wang Weiguo to explain these words. He only said a few more words because Zhang Da Huzi was so optimistic about Li Luo.

The contract was quickly read through.

With a stroke of Li Luo's pen, he officially won the role of Lin Pingzhi in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

"Thank you very much, Producer Wang." Putting down the pen in his hand, Li Luo held the other's hand tightly: "Please also thank Director Zhang for me. Please rest assured that I will work hard to perform well."

"I'm sure you will."

Wang Weiguo smiled and shook Li Luo's arm.

This is a TV series produced by Zhang Zhongzhong. As the production director of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin, few actors dare to mess around in his plays.

"correct."

After letting go of his hand, Wang Weiguo reminded him again: "The first payment will be deposited into your bank account within three working days. Just concentrate on studying the script during this time, and remember to attend martial arts training on time."

"If you have any difficulties, just call me."

"Thank you."

Li Luo thanked him again sincerely.

After sending several people out of the room, he flipped through the contract in his hand, grinning with excitement, showing his neat white teeth.

As long as it is not implemented one day, I will feel uneasy.

Now write it down in black and white.

After spending a lot of money, I finally got the guarantee.

As a actor who plays an important role like Lin Pingzhi, his remuneration is settled differently from that of extras. Generally speaking, ordinary extras are paid on a daily basis, group extras are paid on a monthly basis, and the main actors are paid in installments.

According to the terms of the contract.

After signing the contract, the Swordsman crew will pay a 10% deposit within three days.

On the day of the start of filming, half of the scenes were completed and there was also a wrap-up day.

Each pays thirty percent.

If he just waits for three more days, he can get 4,650 yuan, which is a huge sum of money that can greatly alleviate his current embarrassing situation of being short of money.

It's six o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Luo rubbed his dry eyes and covered the thick script.

A breeze blew in from the window, turning the pages of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. He reached out and pressed it, then wrote the word "resentment" in the notebook next to him.

If you have a poor foundation, you need to work harder.

Familiarizing himself with the script and the novel, and creating a brief biography for Lin Pingzhi, helped him understand and get into the role.

He threw away the pencil, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

I didn't expect that after more than 20 years, I still have time to study hard.

However, he did not have any resistance in his heart. Since he chose to do this job, he had to find a way to do it well. If he could only glare, blow his beard and count 1234567, he would not feel at ease taking the salary.

He used the time before filming to not only understand the role.

He also planned to memorize his own and his opponent's lines to be prepared for everything.

Touched my empty stomach.

He grabbed the door card and walked out of the room. The crew benefits were very good. Every meal in the hotel was a buffet. Every meal time was his happiest time. It was a pity that he didn't get any rewards.

"Boom."

The door slammed shut with a muffled sound.

"Ah~"

The noise startled the girl in the corridor and she dropped the door card.

"Feel sorry."

Li Luo hurried forward, bent down and helped pick it up.

The moment he raised his head, he raised his eyebrows and saw the delicate-faced girl looking at him in panic.

The eyes are extremely clear.

It's like the spring water flowing in the mountains.
