Chapter 42 It's Time to Raise the Salary!

The news of the victory naturally spread to the crew again quickly.

Compared with yesterday's excitement and gaffe, everyone will be calmer this time.

Everyone just happily congratulated each other for a while, and then started to continue filming.

It's not that I'm unhappy, but that I can get back from the 12 o'clock position and achieve such a good result at the 7 o'clock position. There is no need to question it, why make such a fuss?

But at the same time, they are also more energetic, and they are more energetic when filming.

At noon, although it was not like yesterday, Xiao Sheng invited everyone to go out for a big meal at his own expense, but today's lunch box has also been upgraded. Even the runners have a big chicken thigh, and a bite is a mouthful of fat, refreshing. very.

Wei Xiaofan is the male lead and has a good appetite, so he has three drumsticks, wearing big pants, sitting on the ground and eating deliciously.

Dong Wei is also a foodie. He asked for two boxes of rice and five chicken legs. If Yin Jun hadn't helped him get it, he might not have given it.

Hui Tianci next to him eats a lot more gently, but while he eats and laughs, he is a little silly, but it shows that he is in a very good mood.

Yin Jun also sat next to them, and while eating lunch, he also asked about them: "Brother Wei, Brother Hui, Viagra, this "True and False Champion" has just one episode left, what are your plans? ?"

"What's your plan? What's your plan?" Wei Xiaofan said stunned, "Continue shooting, didn't you write 15 units? Let's continue shooting and make a classic for the people of Hong Kong to see! Also for my father, mother, brother and sister. have a look!!"

"I mean, your contract is a problem." Yin Jun smiled slightly, "If I remember correctly, you signed a single contract for twenty episodes, right?"

"right."

Hui Tianci replied: "It's just a simple contract that ends in 20 episodes, and there is no guarantee. I'm paid 150 yuan for one episode, and Wei Ge is 200 yuan for one episode. Ah Wei is even less, 20 episodes are lump sum, 2,000 yuan."

"It's quite a lot. It can be finished in a month." Dong Wei raised his head and said with a greasy smile: "I only calculated about 1,500 a month in Baodao."

Yin Jun nodded.

The script fee that Jiashi paid to Yin Jun was 500 yuan per episode, which was an average level in the industry and not too harsh.

But the remuneration given to Wei Xiaofan and Hui Tian is not an ordinary price at all, but almost the lowest price for a supporting role.

Don't look at the movie stars in Hong Kong in the future, they will always be paid tens of millions of dollars, but that is the future, and that is the price of movie stars, and the salary standard of TV is completely different.

Especially in this era when Hong Kong prices and labor have not skyrocketed, the actors of TV dramas are even more low-paid.

Take two simple examples.

In 1974, Hui Yinghong, also known as Hui Tianci's younger sister, was a basic actor in Shaw Brothers, with only a monthly salary of 500 yuan, and the rest did not receive a penny of subsidies.

In 1976, that is, two years ago, Zheng Zeshi, the future fat cat actor, won the championship of the acting competition on the Shengbao studio and was signed by TVB. All he could get was a basic salary of 400 a month, and one episode of a TV series would be counted separately. .

The contract method of Zheng Zeshi also represents the general method of the three major TV stations in Hong Kong.

There are generally two types of contracts for Heung Kong TV. One is called "salaried artist contract", also known as "full manager contract with artist"; the other is called "partial artist contract".

The former type of paid artist contract is that of Zheng Zeshi, who pays a little basic salary a month, and each announcement and each episode of TV drama performances are paid separately according to their work, which adds up to the artist's entire income.

If you work hard, you can save a little, but if you don't work hard and don't look good, life will be difficult.

There are even more exaggerated ones, called "one show a year", usually aimed at newcomers who have just come out of the artist training class, such as Fa Ge, Xing Zai, Hua Zai, Qing Yun, Yi Mian... Wait, they don't have any basic salary in the first year, they are only paid according to their work, and they can barely eat their stomachs, so they should be thankful.

However, "one show a year" is only one year, and the second year will usually be converted to a paid artist contract.

The paid artist contract is the most common and common contract on TV stations, and most people take this type of contract.

Then there is the second type, the tou contract, which very few people can get.

The tou about is interpreted literally, that is, I will sign a few plays with you a year, and each play will be paid according to your ability and reputation.

As long as you are done, then you can go out to pick up the rest of the movie yourself, including commercial activities.

That's good, right?

However, such a good contract, few TV stations can get it.

In wireless, only Liu Songren and Wang Mingquan can get it. Don't even think about the prosperous Zheng Shaoqiu, Zhou Runfa and Zhao Yazhi who have appeared in the past two years.

Everyone is probably familiar with Wang Mingquan, the eldest sister, and may not be familiar with Liu Songren, but as long as you mention a great man from the mainland who is similar to him - Chen Daomin, everyone will know what happened to him in Xiangjiang. Basically, his acting and The style of behavior is similar to that of Uncle Daoming, and the status is also the same.

That's why he can be treated like a boss.

Except for the radical contract, the rest of the paid artist contracts are usually 5-10 years.

If it is a more popular star, the contract time will be longer. Later, the five tiger generals of wireless, the average contract is 10 years, and the most exaggerated is 15 years - but at that time because there were other loopholes, so Wei Zai can finally escape.

According to some information, Liang Chaowei got the first department appointment of Xiangjiang, but he was much worse than Liu Songren and Wang Mingquan at that time. With Shao Liushu's stingy character, how could he possibly give him one? What about the newcomer's head appointment?

Andy was even fiercer than him at that time. Uncle Six said that he was banned and he was still banned.

With the continuous development of Hong Kong's economy in recent years, the salaries of artists have also increased a lot.

The first-class actors on the wireless side, that is, the leading actors, such as Zhou Runfa, his monthly guarantee is 600 yuan, and he will be given 200 yuan for one episode.

Li's first-class actors, such as Xu Shaoqiang, need more, with a monthly guarantee of 700 yuan and 250 yuan for one episode.

Of course, this was before Xu Shaoqiang did not film "The Change of the Silkworm". After the filming of "The Change of the Silkworm", he became a top TV superstar like Liu Songren, Zheng Shaoqiu, and Wu Weiguo, and the treatment at that time was even more different.

The first-class actors on Jiashi's side have higher salaries. For example, Bai Biao is guaranteed a monthly salary of 800 yuan, which is basically equivalent to a month's salary for ordinary people, and then it is 300 yuan for one episode.

Of course, there is a reason for this. In the beginning, the people who didn't have their own training at Best Vision all relied on poaching people to make their teams successful, so their salaries must be higher.

Because of the high salary, the rest of the various expenses followed up.

Excessive expenses are also one of the most important reasons for Jiashi's collapse.

However, the TV stars in Hong Kong should still thank Jiashi. If they hadn't been born, TVB Heli would never have given the artists a raise, nor would they have the wealth they have today.

Yes.

You read that right, although their salaries in the past two years, especially the salaries of the main supporting roles and general supporting roles, are not too high, they are much better than before.

At this time, even Wireless did not dare to take a pay cut, and had to raise his salary every year because of the existence of two rivals.

If you make them unhappy, everyone will leave. Who will play with you?

Those actors in later generations complained that the salary paid by TVB was not enough to rent a room and eat. That was in the era when Jiashi collapsed and ATV was dying. At that time, the wireless family was the only one, and it became the stingy and harsh Shao Yifu in charge, Rishi The family has long since left the management, so the stars are treated like that.

Over the years, the resentment of celebrities against Wireless has accumulated to an extremely terrifying level.

If it hadn't been for the Heungkong government to put Wang Weiji together and not issue the free TV license of Heungkong TV Network, TVB would have been directly poached and destroyed around 2011-2012.

Come back to your eyes.

Jiashi gives general supporting roles a guaranteed price of 400 per month and 50 per episode.

The sum is basically the same as the price of 200 and 150 per episode of the No. 1 and 2 male protagonists of "Bao Qingtian", and now the TV station's martial arts stand-ins are 2,000 a month, and Dong Wei's 20 episodes of this martial arts instructor are also The income is only 2000, so Yin Jun thinks they are too stingy.

Of course, if it weren't for Wei Xiaofan and Hui Tianci being newcomers and cheap labor, Jiashi would not necessarily want them.

Therefore, the so-called one gain and one loss, whether it is a good deal or a loss, can only be known by oneself.

Now it looks like they are absolutely in for a treat.

"Next, Jiashi will definitely have to shoot "Bao Qingtian"." Yin Jun pondered, "The entire crew, that is, the four of us are not Jiashi. Then they will definitely let us continue to sign the contract, you have decided what to do. Why not?"

"Hey, if you have something to say, just say it!" Wei Xiaofan laughed, "What do you think we should do?"

Hui Tianci and Dong Wei both nodded, for Yin Jun, they only admired him now.

"Let's not talk about my screenwriter's script for the time being, but your salary has to increase, but for our future cooperation, we can't make them feel too much." Yin Jun said calmly: "I mean, we If you don't sign a contract with a paid artist, just finish the performance of "Bao Qingtian" first. If they want to count the next episode together, Wei Ge, your price for an episode is 500, Hui Ge is 350, and Viagra is less, just 200.

If they sign for one unit by one unit, it will be more convenient, just go with the market. But I don't think they will be so stupid, at least within these 108 episodes, they won't do it, and a fixed salary is a very stable approach. "

"What if they don't want to give so much? Or do they have to force us to sign a contract for a paid artist?" Hui Tianci said worriedly.

"Don't worry, we are keeping the initiative now, and Jiashi is still relying on "Bao Qingtian" to boost the ratings, how could it risk losing the No. 1 or 2 male lead?" Yin Jun said, "You don't know yet, Brother Sheng told me just now that tonight, "Bao Qingtian" is at 8 o'clock, and it is officially fighting with "Eternal Dragon Slayer" and "Transformer Doctor"! Even the previous "Golden Sabre Lover" has given way. 7 o'clock, isn't it enough to express their importance to "Bao Qingtian"?"

"That's good!" Hui Tianci couldn't stop laughing when he heard the words.

Wei Xiaofan is not that particular about money, and so is Dong Wei. He does not worry about eating enough by himself, so what does he need so much money for?

It's just that they all believe in Yin Jun, and they can do whatever Yin Jun says.
