China Entertainment: Sister, I don’t want to work hard anymore

Chapter 84: Creation in retreat, new drama appointment!
Not long after the wedding banquet ended, Ma Sichun lied to her mother that she was going to hang out with her classmates, and then followed Chu Hui to his rental house in the Second Ring Road.

After filming for more than three months, Jiang Wenjuan also felt very sorry for her daughter Ma Sichun. She wanted her to go out to meet her classmates and relax, so she didn't say much and only told her to pay attention to her safety.

When he arrived at the rental house, he saw a blue Chanel denim canvas bag that Ma Sichun was carrying. Chu Hui asked casually: "Sichun, how much does your bag cost?"

Ma Sichun took off the Chanel bag and replied with a smile: "More than 3 yuan, does it look good?"

Chu Hui thought it was ordinary, but couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's so expensive!"

Ma Sichun smiled and explained: "It's okay, it's a middle-aged model, so it's not very expensive."

Chu Hui joked: "I see that every bag of yours is from Chanel, so you can be considered a loyal fan of Chanel."

Ma Sichun smiled and nodded: "Yes, I like Chanel bags, and I still have seven or eight of them at home."

Chu Hui then asked: "After getting paid for the film, aren't you going to buy the newly launched Chanel bag again?"

Ma Sichun shook his head and said seriously: "Brother, I want to save money and buy you a gift. I haven't decided what to buy yet."

Chu Hui smiled and declined: "No, you don't have to spend money to buy me a gift. You can keep your remuneration for yourself."

"The salary for one episode is 5000 yuan, and 30 episodes is 15 yuan. It's all your hard-earned money, but don't use it to buy luxury goods."

"If you really want to give me a gift, it would be better to give me a lighter, a bottle of Moutai, or a piece of China than giving me luxury goods."

Ma Sichun said helplessly: "Okay, then I won't give you any luxury goods."

"By the way, brother, how much is your salary for one episode? Do you have 3?"

Chu Hui didn't hide it, and replied truthfully: "How is it possible? My salary is only 1 for one episode and 30 for 30 episodes."

Ma Sichun said in disbelief: "Is that so? I thought I already had 5000, and you must have at least to per episode."

Chu Hui said calmly: "It is indeed a little less. How can I put it, brother, I am also a well-known actor now."

"However, this is a friendly price. After all, it is a play that I participated in and invested in, and I also want to save some production costs for the crew."

"If someone asks me to act now, if the salary per episode is not 2 yuan, I won't even bother to pay attention to him."

"..."

When it comes to film remuneration, people who don’t know the industry like to say that actors are paid based on the number of episodes they appear in, not just based on the episode. This is a very wrong and outrageous view.

If the salary is calculated according to this algorithm, the total salary for a 30-episode TV series will never exceed 30.

To give the simplest example, in the crew of "The Age of Naked Marriage", Chu Hui, the male protagonist, has the highest salary in the whole group, earning 1 yuan per episode, while the heroine Ma Sichun's salary is 1 yuan per episode.

If a 40-minute episode of a TV series is played by two male and female protagonists, then Chu Hui will get 20 yuan for 5000 minutes of appearance, and Ma Sichun will get 20 yuan for 2500 minutes of appearance.

In other words, the remuneration cost for one episode of a TV series is only 7500 yuan. For a 30-episode TV series, the total remuneration will not exceed 20 yuan.

If other supporting characters also take up part of the protagonist's screen time, then the salary cost for this episode of the TV series may not even be 5000 yuan.

is it possible?

Just think about it with your head.

All in all, under normal circumstances, the male and female protagonists of a TV series are paid purely based on the episode, not based on some bullshit based on how many episodes they appear on screen.

And after Chu Hui finished filming the movie "The Age of Naked Marriage", with a salary of 1 per episode, he received a total salary of 1.

However, Chu Hui did not consider repaying the debt for the time being. He wanted to wait until "The Age of Naked Wedding" was broadcast before considering repaying the debt.

Although Chu Hui is not sure whether "The Age of Naked Marriage" co-starring him and Ma Sichun will be a hit, there should be no problem in recovering some costs.

Seeing Chu Hui thinking for a long time without saying a word, Ma Sichun asked curiously: "Brother, what are you thinking about?"

Chu Hui came back to his senses and replied with a smile: "I didn't think about anything."

"What about you, now that the filming is over and it's summer vacation, are you going to go somewhere to play?"

Ma Sichun hugged Chu Hui tightly and said, "I don't want to go anywhere now, I just want to be with you."

Chu Hui sighed: "Sichun, why are you doing this?"

"Don't you still know what kind of person I am? There is no way that you and I will have a future." Ma Sichun said excitedly: "I know, you have told me many times, but I just can't do it. I just want to be with you."

Chu Hui didn't want to continue hurting Ma Sichun, so he could only tell her frankly: "Let me tell you the truth, my girlfriend will be back in a few days."

Hearing Chu Hui's words, Ma Sichun became even more sad and started sobbing again. He didn't know whether it was because of self-blame or grievance.

Chu Hui was most annoyed by women crying. He felt extremely irritable and angry.

Moreover, Chu Hui knew very well that no amount of comfort would be superfluous and feeble.

Chu Hui didn't want to comfort Ma Sichun, but he remembered that her mouth could swallow fists, so he wanted to train her skills, so he reached out and touched her head.

Ma Sichun raised his head and looked at Chu Hui with a look of confusion and innocence in his eyes.

Before he could understand what was going on, his head was pressed down by Chu Hui...

Because he did it too late last night, when Chu Hui woke up the next day, it was already 12 noon.

After a comfortable and solid sleep, Chu Hui felt that his whole body was full of strength.

After Ma Sichun left, Chu Hui also began to calm down and "create" his third script-"Yanjing Love Story".

Because I have been busy with trivial matters and have been filming in the past few months, so far, the 35-episode TV series "Yanjing Love Story" has only written the 20th episode, leaving 15 episodes left.

In order to achieve his goal as soon as possible, Chu Hui did not want to waste time. He spent the next few days in a rental house coding.

Knowing that Chu Hui's girlfriend had not come back yet, Ma Sichun still rented the house to Chu Hui every day to buy food, wash clothes and clean for Chu Hui.

In order to prevent Ma Sichun from disturbing his creation and wasting his energy, Chu Hui still followed the old rules and made a three-chapter agreement with her, and he could only have sex after finishing one episode.

After five days, Chu Hui also wrote 9 episodes.

This evening.

The crew of "Harbin at Night" stayed at the hotel.

By the way, the drama "Harbin at Night" was co-directed by Zhao Baogang and Wang Ying.

Therefore, Zhao Baogang had so much time to travel all over the country to cooperate with the promotion of the drama "Struggle".

Wang Ying is Zhao Baogang's official photographer. From "Never Close Eyes" to "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind", he has been Zhao Baogang's photographer.

It wasn't until the beginning of "Struggle" that Zhao Baogang asked him to serve as the executive director and sign his name in the director's column.

Also because of Wang Ying's capable assistant, director Zhao Baogang has not participated in the filming of the drama these days. Instead, he has begun to select the cast for the drama "My Youth, I Make the Call".

In order to ensure that this drama is foolproof, Zhao Baogang has already decided on Lu Yi as the male lead.

Lu Yi is also the male lead in "Harbin at Night", and the second male lead is Zhou Jie.

Although Lu Yi has begun to decline in the past two years and is far behind Chen Kun, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. In the TV series, he is still a guarantee of ratings.

As long as Lu Yi plays the male lead in TV dramas, there is no need to worry about selling them.

As for the role of the second male lead Fang Yu, Zhao Baogang first matched Chu Hui, not Zhu Yuchen and Ren Zhong from his own company.

Although Chu Hui is not an artist under the company, he has become well-known and loved by the audience with the two phenomenal hit dramas "Soldier Assault" and "Struggle".

If Chu Hui can join "Who's in Charge of My Youth", the cast of this drama will also have a wider audience.

But on the other hand, Zhao Baogang felt that "the good news should not go to outsiders." After all, Chu Hui was not an artist in his own company. If he always asked him to act, it would be unreasonable.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Baogang picked up his phone and dialed Chu Hui's number.

When Chu Hui received Zhao Baogang, Ma Sichun was eating a lollipop.

Seeing that it was Zhao Baogang's call, Chu Hui made a silent gesture to Ma Sichun before pressing the answer button.

Zhao Baogang was still the same, saying straight to the point: "Huizi, have you finished filming "The Age of Naked Wedding"?"

ps. Today, I was criticized and reported by everyone for repeating chapters, which made me very irritable and seriously affected my coding. I would like to say sorry to everyone. I am really sorry for causing trouble to everyone.
