Time flies when you're at Zhuozhou Film and Television City.

Lin Puzhi only did three things when he came to the "Warring States" crew: filming, watching plays, and playing the card game "Three Kingdoms Kill".

That night, Lin Puzhi only "cheated" for one game before turning it off, but then he played several more games afterward.

Sun Honglei has become completely obsessed with the card game "Three Kingdoms Kill". Every day after filming, whenever he has a chance, he drags himself, Francis Ng, and Jing Tian into playing the game.

Lin Puzhi also became familiar with the rest of the crew through the game "Three Kingdoms Kill," even more so than with Kim Hee-sun.

Kim Hee-sun also noticed this.

She didn't have any scenes to film that afternoon. She was memorizing her lines in her hotel room, but the intonation of her Chinese was like an insurmountable mountain; she recited it ten times, but her tongue still got tied. She threw the script on the bed and decided to go to the activity room.

When I opened the door, I heard this strange conversation.

Sun Honglei: "Kill?"

Lin Puzhi: "Kill."

Francis Ng said helplessly, "Still killing?"

Jing Tian shouted excitedly, "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Kim Hee-sun was completely confused. She tried to imitate their intonation, but couldn't curl her tongue properly, and said:

"What?"

The four people in the activity room burst into laughter.

Kim Hee-sun, filled with shame and anger, retreated to her room. Leaning against the door, she covered her face, inwardly filled with remorse:

Why did it turn out like this?

"For the first time, I have a junior who needs my care, so I can play the role of a reliable senior."

"But I have repeatedly embarrassed myself in front of my juniors."

She opened her contacts, found her husband Park Joo-young's phone number, and dialed it.

The phone went unanswered.

She scrolled through her contacts again, found Song Hye-kyo's phone number, and dialed it.

It's working now.

"Hey? Xishan, what's up?"

A sophisticated and mature voice came from the other end of the phone.

Kim Hee-sun started talking at length to Song Hye-kyo about the embarrassing things that had happened in the past few days.

She tearfully complained, "My interactions with the rest of the crew are still limited to 'Hello,' 'Have you eaten?' and 'Which scene are we filming today?' But Park Ji-seo has developed a set of 'secret codes' that I can't understand at all!"

"Among the main actors in the production, only another Japanese actor, Kiichi Nakai, and I feel out of place."

In short, it conveys the message that the other main actors excluded her and Kiichi Nakai.

They treated her like a Japanese person and made fun of her.

On the other end of the phone, Song Hye-kyo gently comforted her best friend, who, despite being a mother, still acted like a child.

……

In the activity room, Lin Puzhi and his three companions had already started fighting, chatting about the film crew as they fought.

Sun Honglei: "Jing Tian's acting has improved a lot today."

Jing Tian: "Thank you, Brother Honglei, but I still want to kill you, kill you."

Sun Honglei lost one drop of blood.

Lin Puzhi laughed and said, "You'd even say something like that to avoid being killed?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Tian immediately glared at Lin Puzhi, "Use fire to attack you."

"Hey, hey, hey," Lin Puzhi quickly said, "I am a loyal subject, my lord."

Lin Puzhi played a plum blossom card.

Jing Tian: "What loyal minister would say such a thing?"

Then, Lin Puzhi discards a club from his hand, losing one point of health.

Lin Puzhi: "Honest advice is hard to hear, my lord!"

"Don't listen to him, my lord." Seeing that he wasn't being attacked, Sun Honglei quickly flattered him, "Jing Tian, ​​your acting skills are truly improving day by day."

Jing Tian was overjoyed to hear this.

Who says honest advice is hard to hear? This honest advice is actually quite comforting to hear.

Francis Ng retorted, "Isn't that how you use 'rapidly changing'?"

Lin Puzhi: "How can our lord, so dissolute and tyrannical, so easily swayed by slander, possibly uphold the Han dynasty!"

Jing Tian stood up abruptly, threw a card at Lin Puzhi with great force, and declared, "I will decide who is loyal and who is treacherous!"

"What a tyrannical ruler! What a tyrannical ruler!"

In the end, the lord, Jing Tian, ​​was betrayed and killed by the traitor, Sun Honglei.

Why would you be a loyal subject?

Jing Tian looked at Lin Puzhi's ID card with disbelief.

Lin Puzhi answered the question with a question: "Why would you believe Brother Honglei when he said your acting has improved a lot? I suspect that half of his salary is for compensation for emotional distress."

"Pfft—" *2

Sun Honglei and Francis Ng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Jing Tian lunged at Lin Puzhi, intending to grab him by the neck with both hands.

"I'm going to kill you!"

Lin Puzhi held Jing Tian's hands with both of his.

"Honest advice is hard to swallow, my lord!"

"Shut up, you traitor!"

Since Jing Tian couldn't hit him with her hands, she had to use her legs to kick Lin Puzhi.

She had never received such a vicious comment in her life.

Jing Tian struggled for a long time but found that she couldn't hit him, and kicking him only made Lin Puzhi's pants get a little dusty.

We had no choice but to give up.

She leaned back in her chair and suddenly asked, "Speaking of fees, how much do you get paid?"

Sun Honglei glanced at Jing Tian, ​​"Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"Just curious," Jing Tian said casually. "I heard that this investment is quite large, supposedly 1.2 million yuan, and the cast is strong, so I'm curious about everyone's salaries."

Francis Ng spoke first, saying, "600 million."

Francis Ng is from Hong Kong. The pay system for actors in Hong Kong is different from that in mainland China, and the commission rates for agencies are also different.

But Francis Ng's market price is only 100 million, while the production team directly asked for 600 million.

Then there's Sun Honglei.

"I'm a bit higher than Lao Wu, 1200 million."

That's too high. Even though Sun Honglei is a top-tier television actor in mainland China, and television salaries have been rising in recent years, his market value shouldn't be this high.

It should be divided by three.

Sun Honglei looked at the leading lady whom the drama was heavily promoting, and asked, "What about you?"

Jing Tian was a little embarrassed and said, "1100 million."

He's a bit lower than Sun Honglei.

Sun Honglei asked:

"What about Kim Hee-sun?"

Jing Tian thought for a moment and replied, "It should be 1000 million, a little less than mine."

There was only one person left who didn't know his fee, and then all three of them looked at Lin Puzhi at the same time.

Lin Puzhi is drinking water.

"Don't look at me." He put down his water glass.

"You're the last one," Sun Honglei said. "Go ahead, how much?"

"Free of charge."

"How many?!"

The other three people in the activity room thought they had a problem with their Chinese listening comprehension, or that the child had been tricked.

Sun Honglei frowned. "How did your agent negotiate?"

He had acted with Lin Puzhi in the past few days and got to know Lin Puzhi's acting skills.

Although he's definitely not as good as him, he's still quite skilled.

Lin Puzhi scratched his head and said with a wry smile:

"I only acted in one TV series before, and I was the third male lead. I wasn't very famous. I got a role in this big production because my friend helped me get in through connections."

Does an unknown actor have zero value?

Or even a negative value, requiring money to act?

From the perspective of the capital behind the production team of "The Warring States", that's how it is.

The activity room fell silent for a moment.

Sun Honglei sighed and said:

"I don't think I deserve that much pay. I plan to donate 800 million yuan to a Chinese charity foundation."

Francis Ng said in his Cantonese-accented Mandarin, "I've been facing some difficulties at home recently, which is why I took on this role, but I'll also donate 300 million."

Finally, it was Jing Tian's turn. She gritted her teeth, made a determined statement, and said:

"I donated it all! My acting skills are even worse than Lin Puzhi's, so why should I get a higher salary than him?"

After he finished speaking, the four people in the activity room burst into laughter.

"I hope this movie dies a worthy death."
