Huayu: The Best Actor starts with obtaining the role entry

Chapter 36 - New entry: Calling a Stag a Horse! (Seeking monthly ticket reward)

"Hello, I'm Jiang Jiajun."

"Director Jiang, is there any result?"

Bai Ye was a little surprised. He had just left not long ago, but he had already made the decision?

Are you ready to refuse?

Bai Ye actually had no confidence in his previous performance.

So in his opinion, the purpose of Jiang Jiajun's call this time was probably to tell him that he did not pass the audition.

"Yes, you haven't gone far yet, right? It's a good time to come back and sign the contract. I think you should try the role of Zhao Gao!"

On Jiang Jiajun's side, after a brief hesitation, he also decided to give Bai Ye a try.

He also wanted to see what surprises this contrasting Zhao Gao could bring him.

So, after discussion, it was decided to let Bai Ye play the role of Zhao Gao.

Even after hanging up the phone, Lin Wan was still a little bit incredulous and said, "The role of Zhao Gao was won just like that?!"

It seems a little too simple.

Although there is the example of the big brother's masterpiece, just because of this point, as long as there is nothing wrong with it, this drama will at least be a small hit.

Although the role of Zhao Gao is not good, once it is played well, he may be criticized outside the circle, but people inside and outside the circle will see it differently.

"There shouldn't be any problem. Director Jiang told us to go back and sign the contract."

Bai Ye was actually quite surprised. He had felt that his performance might not be very good before.

I originally thought that I could not play the role of Zhao Gao.

After hearing Bai Ye's words, Lin Wan turned the car around and returned to the crew. There was no need for Bai Ye to come to discuss the contract afterwards.

These contract matters are negotiated by the agent.

In the end, thanks to Lin Wan's insistence, both parties agreed on a pay of 50,000 per episode.

There are fifty episodes in total, and no matter how many scenes he plays, the price will be calculated based on the number of episodes.

That is, fifty episodes multiplied by fifty thousand, which is equivalent to a salary of 2.5 million. Later, Lin Wan added another 100,000 because the number was not nice.

The final price was 260 million yuan in salary!
After this round of talks, Bai Ye was completely shocked.

Anyway, he didn't say anything the whole time, just watched Lin Wan talk, and finally finished the talk and signed the contract.

A voice sounded beside Bai Ye's ears.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the role of Zhao Gao in the mythological drama. Reward entry: Calling a Deer a Horse.]

[Calling a Deer a Horse]: This entry comes from Zhao Gao. You will get a slight improvement in Zhao Gao's acting skills and physical fitness. At the same time, you will get double the acting bonus when playing villain-type roles, and slightly increase the box office and ratings.

This entry is quite suitable for the character of Zhao Gao.

With the slight improvement in his physical fitness, Bai Ye only felt a warm current passing through his abdomen, and then the strength in his hands increased a little, and then it was gone?
It's really a slight improvement.

Even Bai Ye didn't feel it at all.

However, the ridiculous period with Liu Shishi some time ago seemed to have eased.

"It's still a bit of a loss."

"This is still a loss. I used to only get about 200,000 yuan for a film."

After leaving the crew, Bai Ye didn't know what to say when he heard Lin Wan say that she had suffered a loss in the car.

I only got 200,000 before, but now I get more than 2 million. Is this considered a loss?
"You still have to pay taxes, and you're at a disadvantage because there are no popular TV series. Wait until your "Chinese Paladin 3" is broadcast. If the effect is very good, I think you can get at least 100,000 per episode!" Lin Wan shook her head and said helplessly.

As the second male lead, Bai Ye’s pay is still too little.

But there's nothing you can do. If Chinese Paladin III and The New Three Kingdoms aren't airing, does that mean Bai Ye won't take on any more roles?!
"In the industry, some actors might have a drama that becomes a huge hit, but before they signed the contract, the salary was dirt cheap, and there's nothing you can do about it."

Bai Ye is very clear about this.

After all, actors have already signed contracts. If you really break the contract, who would dare to use you?!
"It's okay. It doesn't matter if the pay is a little low in the beginning. As long as my popularity grows, I'll be fine. The bulk of the money comes from commercial performances and endorsements."

Nowadays, the pay for movies is actually less compared to commercial performances and endorsements.

After all, the asking price for TV actors is not that high, and it’s not the same as that for movie actors.

The purpose of TV dramas is to accumulate popularity, making it easier to get endorsements.

"By the way, you don't have any scenes before the Chinese New Year. The crew here will start filming on January 4th. You and Brother Hu will probably shoot together until the 22nd, and then you will be on vacation and prepare to go home for the Chinese New Year.

After that, it will be February 2nd, which is after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and then we will come back to shoot again."

Although it is nearing the end of the year, the crew itself will not stop working just like that.

It costs money to be here every day.

New Year's Eve in 2009 was on January 25th, so they could leave three days in advance.

Then during this Chinese New Year period, except for New Year's Eve, the first and second days of the New Year, other actors were filming at other times.

"I know. Sister Lin, please buy me a ticket home later. I'll take a look at the script."

"it is good."

Lin Wan nodded and didn't disturb Bai Ye.

The next scenes to be filmed will be shot separately from Brother Hu. The scenes with the two of them together will be filmed after the other actors join the crew after the New Year. The scenes being filmed now are about Zhao Gao entering the palace to become a eunuch.

Brother Hu filmed the early stage when Yi Xiaochuan just crossed over.

Bai Ye read the script carefully in his hand. The more he read, the more he felt that Gao Yao's character was very well-rounded.

"He's not a completely bad guy. He might be a bit greedy, but he was oppressed step by step into this state during that era!? Because he doesn't have the aura of a protagonist, he's constantly bullied.

In the end, Gao Yao turned evil and became Zhao Gao... This character design is quite good and exceeded my expectations, but it would be even better if it could be modified further."

Bai Ye couldn't help sighing as he read the script.

"Do you think this script is good?"

"It's really good. If I can play it well, it will definitely become a signature role of mine."

The script contains some descriptions of the scenes with Yi Xiaochuan.

This is much richer than the previous script which only had one line.

If we only look at the script, Yi Xiaochuan is a pure saint. On the other hand, Gao Yao, although he is also pure evil later on, his character has depth.

For these two roles, he actually prefers Gao Yao.

"As long as you can withstand being scolded, it's fine. After all, your character will definitely be scolded when the show airs."

Lin Wan nodded. As an actor, Bai Ye naturally knew more about this matter than herself.

She just thought that this character was bad and would definitely be scolded later.

But seeing Bai Ye's indifferent look, she felt relieved. It was good that he was not too sensitive.
