Su Lun exchanged a lot of gossip with Liu Yifei at the dinner table.

The married life of so-and-so is not as happy as the media makes it out to be.

A certain director took advantage of his wife, but his talent was limited and he couldn't prove himself. He didn't do much good in business by relying on his wife's connections, and now he concentrates on raising his children at home.

A certain popular boy played too much and his body collapsed and he had to take medicine every day.

A certain young man's business went bankrupt and he owed a lot of debt. His wife helped him pay off the debt but he didn't appreciate it. He was picky and picky at home and acted like an actor. His wife endured everything in order to maintain the family.

A certain Xiaohua signed a three-month contract with the crew, but the actual work did not exceed 20 days, and all the scenes were performed by stand-ins.

News like this.

"I haven't worked for a year, so why have I completely changed?" Liu Yifei really didn't understand.

Everything else was fine, but she really couldn't accept the last one.

"Won't the crew sue her? She signed a contract for 90 days and only acted for 20 days."

"How could I dare to sue? The TV station bought the entire drama just because of her name. The crew treated her like the Queen Mother. The recorder bought the wrong water and she scolded people on set for more than half an hour, saying she was allergic to something.

You can only drink that brand of water, and the manager deliberately bought the wrong one to harm her."

"Our crew has nothing like this, right?" Liu Yifei asked.

"Don't worry, we won't use such an actor. Even if we give her ten courages, she won't dare to act like a big star on our crew."

The conditions of the remote crew are very good. There are very clear standards for which positions are matched with what kind of salary. They are all written in the contract in advance. As long as the requirements are not excessive, the crew will usually agree. This is still a big deal. I can only say

The actors on the remote crew couldn't handle it clearly.

"There is a strange phenomenon in the industry in the past two years," Su Lun continued. "After the filming of the drama started, the TV station's film purchasing leaders came to visit the team to see if they should buy this drama. Now the people who accompany the leaders to dinner have become actors.

"

Liu Yifei couldn't wrap her mind around it for a moment. I just heard about the unspoken actress, so why is it that the person who is accompanying her to dinner is now a man?

"Eight out of ten leaders of the film purchasing departments of TV stations are now women, and they don't like to have dinner with actresses."

"Oh——" Liu Yifei has learned a lot about how to play like this.

"There is a crew for one person. When the TV station comes to visit the cast, actresses are not allowed to show up. Male actors are sent to receive the leaders. But this drama is cast by talented actors. After looking around for one male, two male and three male, it didn't look good. Later, there was nothing we could do. The crew

The assistant director, cameraman, set manager, and the energetic young man took care of things, and drank with the leader in the evening. Now the distribution people have also become handsome young men." Su Lun and Cheng Yu'an drank some wine and talked a bit too much.

In the end, Su Lun lamented: "The industry is very impetuous now. From film producers to actors, there are fewer people who are down-to-earth in filming."

"Is anyone looking for you?" Cheng Yu'an joked.

"Why not." Su Lun is also famous now. The blockbuster sales of the two movies "Youth" and "Tumor" have made her quite famous in the industry. "I met an investor a few days ago.

"

"Who?" Liu Yifei asked.

"Don't ask, he's the boss of a major Internet company anyway." Su Lun wouldn't say, "I was given a salary of 50 million for a film, and asked me to make a romantic comedy. I thought I would watch it if I had a job.

, I said I wanted to read the script first, and he said there was no script. I said there was no script, so give me a year and I will write a script before filming. He said they didn’t have time to wait for me for a year. They found a novel and asked me to do it.

It was adapted into a script within two months, shot in 40 days, post-production in 60 days, and will be released on May 1st next year."

"They also asked me to use a certain actress by name as the heroine, saying that she is very popular now and the box office will be high if the movie is made."

"In the end, I didn't agree. Isn't this just messing up?"

Cheng Yuan asked her slyly: "Fifty million? Not tempted?"

Remote and Su Lun's studio have a cooperative relationship. Remote can't intervene in whatever scenes Su Lun takes on.

"To be honest, I'm really tempted. 50 million, after tax, wouldn't you be tempted?"

Although Cheng Yu'an is rich, he feels that the director's salary of 50 million after tax is ridiculously high.

Su Lun said: "It took me a lot of effort to convince myself that I couldn't take this money. It was too hot."

The three of them chatted a lot. After dinner, Cheng Yu'an called Su Lun's assistant to pick her up.

At night, Liu Yifei was still immersed in the various strange phenomena in the industry that Su Lun mentioned.

Cheng Yu'an decided to teach her a lesson so that she could be more cautious in the future.

"There are only a few directors who can control things like Su Lun. Many people can't afford the money they throw at them. A salary of 50 million is already the highest salary among Chinese directors..."

"How much does your director get paid?" Liu Yifei suddenly asked.

"I got % of the box office share of "The Wandering Earth"." Cheng Yu'an replied.

"This is a friendly price. What is your real offer?"

"260 million fixed salary or 130 million with 20% share." This is the latest quote for director Cheng Yu'an's salary. "Now you know how high your husband's salary is."

Liu Yifei pouted: "How many movies do I have to film to earn so much."

Liu Yifei only received US$1.2 million for "Interstellar". She was only offered US$700,000 for low-budget movies like "John Wick" and 1.6 million for the second one.

In "Tumor King", Liu Yifei's remuneration was % share, and she also contributed money as a producer.

Even filming a movie can't keep up with Cheng Yu'an's salary.

"Don't interrupt me," Cheng Yu'an continued, "Su Lun also knows that he is not worth such a high salary now, and feels that there is something fishy in it."

"What's the matter?"

"The director's salary is 50 million, and the project schedule is so tight. I suspect that XQ is involved. By then, the film studio will increase the cost of the film to 350 million."

"Is there still money to be made?"

"Who said they made money at the box office?"

"After going around the theater, it doesn't matter how much the box office is. Part of the 50 million film remuneration is hush money for Su Lun."

Then Cheng Yu'an really explained to Liu Yifei how to use the movie XQ: "Now you understand why Su Lun didn't take this movie. I'm afraid!"

"Aren't they afraid of being caught?"

"A horse will not grow fat without a night of grass, and a person will not be rich without a windfall. As long as the benefits are big enough, they dare to do anything. Of course, these are all my guesses. I did not say that he must be XQ. Maybe he is rich.

We just need to use money to open the way."

"But there must be monsters when things go wrong. It's always best to be careful when you're in this circle."

While the two were talking, the confinement sister-in-law knocked on the door: "Yifei, Qiqi is awake."

"Oh, here we come." Liu Yifei got up and went to the nursery to feed Qiqi.

Cheng Yu'an also got up and followed him out: "This little guy is confusing black and white. He only wakes up when adults are sleeping."
