Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 456 Money is indeed very important (34)

Dilraba's salary...

She started with a newcomer rate of 4 yuan for "The Criminal," and later, for "My Love from the Star," her per-episode fee rose to 8000 yuan...

She appeared in about 15 episodes, which would amount to 12...

These salaries are after deducting their share of the profits!

The current revenue split is 3:2:5, with 30% going to the agency, 20% to the agent, and 50% to her…

It doesn't look like much.

However, after the release of "The Criminal," her salary increased significantly. At that time, Yang Siwei did not arrange many new dramas for her. After "My Love from the Star," her salary skyrocketed—she was offered 5 yuan per episode for TV dramas!
The key is a bunch of project invitations…

She has a good persona; she embodies a cute and energetic girl image...

Moreover, she doesn't appear in public very often and doesn't cultivate a beautiful image...

Girls don't dislike this kind of character!

"Dilraba... many people know her now because of 'My Love from the Star'..."

"The viewership ratings for 'Xuan-Yuan Sword' were actually quite high!"

“But they all hate Xiaoxue…” Nazha shook his head: “Many people have accused me of ruining Xiaoxue!”

What do you think?

"I've never even played Xuan-Yuan Sword. I just acted however the director told me to..."

Naza felt very wronged…

Oh, Xiaoxue from *Xuan-Yuan Sword* is also a descendant of Nuwa. Her character and personality are almost identical to Zhao Ling'er's—gentle, calm, introverted, considerate of others, and self-sacrificing. Initially timid, indecisive, and prone to overthinking, she later becomes resolute, taking the world as her responsibility, and acts with calm and decisiveness…

However, in order to highlight Hu Ge's character, Tangren TV actually portrayed Xiaoxue as a woman who wavered between Chen Jingchou and Yuwentuo, not wanting to let go of her male god Yuwentuo but also unwilling to miss out on Chen Jingchou, who had always been good to her.

How could such a persona possibly be likable?

"Is it true that Stephen Chow contacted you?"

"It's true. He saw my photo and then had someone from his company contact me..."

Did you go to an audition?

"without…"

"Don't bring up things like that next time!" Shen Yan waved his hand. "Stephen Chow contacted me too, but I didn't go..."

"Huh?" Naza didn't quite understand: "Why can't I say? He really contacted me!"

"...gives people the impression of being ungrateful..."

Naza pouted, a little unconvinced...

"What's wrong?"

"Liu Yifei also said that she turned down the offer to star in Resident Evil 5!"

“…That’s Liu Yifei,” Shen Yan said speechlessly, “and Resident Evil 5 was terrible!”

The ending of Resident Evil 4 Afterlife was the prelude to a major battle, leaving audiences eager for some big action. But Resident Evil 5... starts five years after that great battle!
It was simply omitted.

Moreover, Resident Evil 5 was indeed poorly made...

The worst-reviewed series!
It's understandable; director Paul W.S. Anderson's primary goal was to make money. As for his skill level... just watch "The Three Musketeers" and you'll know.

In "The Three Musketeers," Paul W.S. Anderson fully demonstrates his infantile understanding of the original work and his clumsy screenwriting skills. The film is enough to make the original author, Alexandre Dumas, cry his eyes out.

But Resident Evil 5 is truly speechless. It doesn't advance the plot at all. This kind of cumbersome setup is just a waste of time and effort. To put it simply, it's a money grab.

He succeeded; the fifth film grossed $2.96 million worldwide.

Nobody said Liu Yifei's refusal of Resident Evil 5 was a mistake...

After all... you want to be able to take any job if you make a bad movie!

After a pause, Shen Yan added, "Besides, Liu Yifei is a celestial beauty... what are you?"

"I…"

"Alright, have something to eat, I'll take you back to school!"

Naza did not answer…

Never mind her, once at the restaurant, Shen Yan put on sunglasses and a mask, ready to get out of the car… He'd figured out that Nazha didn't want to improve her career, but rather wanted to borrow money…

Then don't take advantage of someone's misfortune!
Brother Yan does have a bottom line, though it may not be much, it is real.

……

It's a private restaurant, run by Ji Xiang's friend.

Shen Yan would bring his guests over whenever he treated someone to a meal…

I asked the chef to make a simple four-dish meal with a soup, and specifically requested that there be no pork.

In the private room, the staff brewed a pot of white tea. After he left the room, Shen Yan gestured for Nazha to sit down: "We come to this restaurant often... If you want to eat something good, you can come too, just put it on my tab!"

"No need, I have money..."

"Then I'll have them deliver it to your school every week?"

Naza immediately shook his head: "Then I'll eat it myself..."

Shen Yan picked up his teacup, took a sip, and casually asked, "Has your company made any arrangements for you?"

Naza nodded: "They told you to focus on your studies first..."

"If you want to make money, you can ask Shishi for help; she has a lot of resources..."

"...I'm a little embarrassed..."

"So you're asking me for money? We're not even that close..."

Naza said, "I've seen so many media reports about you making a fortune..."

"Making a fortune? What made a fortune?"

Shen Yan felt a little confused, then sat down next to Naza, opened his phone, and found the interface he had browsed before—Shen Yan's Net Worth Assessment: "They said your net worth is over ten figures... 'Finding Mr. Right' has brought in at least 5000 million!"

"...It's definitely fake,"

Shen Yan took the phone and started looking through it; he didn't believe it at all…

The reason is very simple—he himself couldn't figure it out.

All I know is that my Tencent shares have already doubled in value, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, they should increase tenfold.

The returns from investing in Tencent stock alone would be enough to make him a billionaire.

Of course, stock returns need to be considered in the long run…

In addition to Tencent stock, he also bought $10 million worth of stock in Netflix, Facebook, Google, and Apple…

We will not sell for now; we will clear out the entire stock when necessary.

It's a sure thing, you can't lose money!

These investments were all made on a whim and were never announced to the public…

As for his net worth...

At most, it's just calculating endorsements, movie revenue sharing, and things like that...

I took a look, and the first sentence was, "She secured 24 brand endorsements in three months, covering fields such as beauty, finance, electronics, automobiles, and luxury goods. Reportedly, Shen Yan's endorsement fees are the highest in the industry… Her endorsement fee as a global ambassador for Gucci alone is as high as 5000 million yuan a year! Her earning power is astonishing!"

Seeing this, Shen Yan shook his head: "Don't they know about revenue sharing for endorsements?"

Naza asked in surprise, "You also get a share now?"

“Of course,” Shen Yan nodded, “I signed a full contract with the company back then… My acting, music, commercial activities, and endorsements were all signed with the company… The current revenue sharing ratio is 1:1:0.5:7.5… I get 7.5%, the agency gets 10%, my agent gets 10%, and the rest of my team gets 5%…”

"0.5..."

"0.5 is also very high!"

5%!
If Shen Yan earns 100 million, they can take 5 million.

"...They say that 'Finding Mr. Right' grossed 160 million yuan in its opening week, but its final box office is unlikely to exceed 500 million yuan..."

"What do they know... Didn't you see yesterday, Monday, that the box office drop was less than 20%? I now feel that 'Finding Mr. Right' might actually make 7 million at the box office!"

"So you really have... 10 billion?"

“Almost…” Shen Yan paused for a moment. Weren’t we talking about “Finding Mr. Right”? But he quickly realized what was going on and offered some encouragement as a senior: “If you work hard, you can definitely do it too.”
