Entertainment: Starting with a complete collapse

Have to admit.

Huang Min's success is not without reason.

Zhao Liyuan was fully aware of the risks involved in producing a variety show before it aired. Although many variety shows in the entertainment industry are recorded for several seasons, many others suffer losses for entertainment companies due to insufficient viewership after only one season.

The same applies to films directed by Tan Tao.

Last year, she suffered a loss at the hands of Director Feng. She thought that as a fifth-generation director, even if she only received a symbolic salary, the box office revenue would be enough to earn her more than a fixed salary. However, after several months, she only received a symbolic salary and did not see a single penny of the box office revenue.

Now that Huang Min is doing this to her again, Zhao Liyuan is not only annoyed but also resentful. She even gave birth to his son. Even if he helps her make money, he shouldn't treat her like this!

The result was that they were scammed without hesitation.

"Yuanyuan, what did you say?"

Seeing that Zhao Liyuan remained silent for a long time, Huang Min asked with a smile.

"A 20 million appearance fee is no problem, nothing else is up for discussion. Even including the salary in the box office revenue share is out of the question."

She's already been fooled once, how could she possibly fall for it a second time?

A 5% share of the box office seems tempting, but even the most tempting food needs to be eaten first. Without it, it's all just talk. To earn more than her original salary, the project she's working on needs to generate at least 200 million in profit after deducting production costs. It might even need to be higher. If that's not achieved… she'll be like someone rushing to find a permanent job with all the benefits, only to end up with a pittance from a shady agency. "Nothing to negotiate?"

Huang Min asked with a smile.

"No"

Zhao Liyuan shook her head decisively.

If it were simply a matter of investing five million in a project directed by Tan Tao, she would not hesitate. She could simply convert her salary into an investment. Although she has not made any outstanding works in the film industry, her salary is definitely more than five million.

As for the variety show "Beyond Class," forget about it. Huang Min bypassed her agent Zhang Xue and talked to her directly. She didn't say anything and even agreed, but not a single penny of her appearance fee was converted into investment for the project. Even if he were to lash out again, Zhao Liyuan would rather endure it than agree.

They treated her like a stupid woman.

"Five million to invest in your project, the rest is fine."

At this time.

Xu Ying chimed in.

It's true that Gou Dongxi is her man, but Yuanyuan is still her best friend. Investing in variety shows and converting film salaries into box office revenue sharing are clearly bait that Gou Dongxi deliberately threw out to reduce production costs.

It seems wonderful, but the risks involved are actually too great. It could all be a waste of time. Noticing Yuanyuan giving her a grateful look, Xu Ying gestured to her with her eyes, meaning, "Don't worry, I've got your best friend's help."

"Let me finish speaking first."

Huang Min wasn't in a hurry. While supporting Xiao Bao, he said, "I know what you're thinking. You're just worried that the viewership of 'Beyond Class' won't meet the target, and you'll end up with nothing after investing your appearance fee. But what I'm giving you isn't the revenue from the first season. Your appearance fee of 20 million to be a mentor is part of the total investment in this project. Even if the first season doesn't make money, if we record the second and third seasons, you'll have a good fixed income. There are definitely risks, but don't just focus on the risks and forget how much revenue a hit variety show can bring. Brand sponsorship alone should bring in a net profit of 100 million per season. If there's a possibility of recording three seasons, you'll not only earn an extra 20 million, but if we continue recording, you can make money every season."

Zhao Liyuan's attitude remains firm.

That sounds nice, but the risks are just too great.

She would rather honestly accept her 20 million appearance fee than gamble on 40 or 60 million. It's not that easy. As for why Huang Min put on such a variety show, if Zhao Liyuan didn't guess, it's to use the show to sign some promising new actors for Dong Sheng Films.

The reason for hiring her as a mentor, along with Duan Yi and Zhou Nian, is essentially to leverage their professional expertise to select talent for Dongsheng Pictures. This approach aims to both generate revenue and attract top talent.

That's killing two birds with one stone!

Besides, if this show becomes popular, new actors can gain fame before they even debut. Anyway, if this show becomes popular, Dong Sheng Pictures will have everything. Even if she serves as a mentor for free, they can still save 20 million yuan.
