but……

It seems that the preliminary budget of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" is 6 million, but it should be noted that this does not include the salaries of Men Jie and Jia Jingwen, as well as the salaries of director Shang Jing and screenwriter Xue Caishen!

The remuneration of Men Jie and Jia Jingwen is respectively 40,000 soft girl coins per episode and 25,000 soft girl coins per episode. Moreover, both of them are one of the five major protagonists. Among them, the number of episodes they have appeared in is even more than

Yao Chen, who plays 'Guo Furong', is even better. He didn't miss even one episode in the entire eighty episodes!

In other words, the remuneration of Men Jie and Jia Jingwen alone would cost a full five million!

If the two characters Tong Xiangyu and Pirate Saint Bai Yutang in the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" were still cast by the original actors, there might not be a need to spend so much money at all, or even the entire budget would only be 8 million.

but……

In order to make the cast in the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" more powerful and attract the attention of actors, Menjie finally decided to strengthen the cast, starring Menjie himself and Jia Jingwen!

It is precisely because of this that the budget was increased by more than four million, and the final initial investment reached a terrifying figure of 12 million!

But the simple thing is that in order to support Menjie's work, Jia Jingwen basically made the decision without much thinking. She wanted to give Menjie a very preferential price, as little as 10,000 yuan per episode.

It's not that Jia Jingwen is unwilling to star in Menjie's TV series for free. In fact, if Menjie agrees, Jia Jingwen will not have any problems and will definitely not take any money. But she, who knows Menjie's character very well, clearly knows that Menjie

The most annoying thing is relying on a woman's power to do things. If Jia Jingwen doesn't take any money, it will make Menjie very dissatisfied.

Therefore, after many discussions with Menjie, Jia Jingwen proposed to collect the film remuneration based on the figure of 10,000 yuan per episode, which is more than double her current net worth!

And Menjie himself...

Whether it is from the perspective of "investors star, take no money and reduce investment", or from the perspective of "after receiving the salary, all the money will be invested in the filming of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden"", although Menjie's own salary has reached a terrifying level.

Forty thousand soft girl coins per episode, but in the end, in fact, it didn’t cost a penny at all!

Although these two methods look very similar, they have a fatal problem!

If Menjie chooses to star in the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" for free without receiving a penny of remuneration, then the money earned in the end only needs to pay the tax rate once. But if he waits until he gets the remuneration and then invests it in the TV series "Wulin Biography"

During the filming of "Wulin Gaiden", you need to pay a tax on the actor's remuneration to the state, as well as a tax on the money earned after the final TV series is released.

Obviously, the final benefit of paying taxes twice is much less than paying taxes only once, so after much hesitation, Menjie decided to choose the first method without paying a penny of salary.

Starring in the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" for free!

It is for this reason that the final investment of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" was settled at a figure of 8 million. Due to various reasons, even if the cast of actors has been slightly improved, the budget of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden"

There is no improvement at all!

As of now, after deducting the first batch of investment of 8 million, Menjie still has a total of 7 million in funds!

"There are seven million funds left..."

Looking at the form that Zhao Dong handed to him in his hand, Men Jie couldn't help but put his right hand on the table and began to tap it slightly. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he was constantly thinking about the remaining 7 million in funds.

What can you do yourself.

"Menjie, of the remaining 7 million, at least 2 million must be left. If the investment in the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" is not enough, you can make additional investment!"

Seeing Menjie thinking about what to do with the remaining 7 million, Zhao Dong was afraid that Menjie would use all 7 million, so he hurriedly got in shape.

As Menjie's agent, he should not know how much money Menjie has. There is no need for Menjie to tell Zhao Dong everything. But before that, Menjie planned to invest in the filming of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden"

At that time, in order to save trouble, he directly told Zhao Dong everything, including the question of how much money he had for his injuries.

"Brother Zhao, there is no need to keep it!"

Shaking his head slightly, Men Jie did not accept Zhao Dong's proposal. Instead, he said slightly to Zhao Dong, "In addition to the 15 million yuan, I still have 3 million yuan left on hand. I will use these 3 million yuan."

The funds of 10,000 yuan are regarded as reserved funds for the TV series "Wulin Gaiden", and the 7 million funds can be used in other places!"

"That's okay too!"

He nodded slightly. Now that he understood Menjie's thoughts, Zhao Dong also felt that there was nothing inappropriate in Menjie's approach.

Anyway, we already have a debt of 15 million. Even if we keep the more than 3 million we have saved and use it to pay off the debt after the TV series loses money, we will still have 12 million left!

If we say there is no debt and a debt of 3 million, there is indeed a big difference, but a debt of 15 million and a debt of 12 million...

After all, they are all liabilities, and the liabilities are tens of millions. In the eyes of Zhao Dong and Men Jie, there is no such difference at all.

If you have too many debts, you are not afraid of being ugly. If you have too many lice, you are not afraid of being bitten. This is probably the idea?!

"But... Menjie, where are you going to use your 7 million funds?!"

After nodding slightly, Zhao Dong hesitated and asked Men Jie.

Originally, no one had the right to inquire about the use of a person's private funds, but in Zhao Dong's mind, since he had borrowed the money and was preparing to film a TV series, it was impossible for Menjie to let the 7 million

With the funds in hand, he couldn't help but ask.

"I intend to……"

With a faint smile on his lips, Men Jie said softly to Zhao Dong, "Spend these 7 million and give them to the God of Wealth and Shang Jing as their salary!"

"What? Are you going to pay the salary of the God of Wealth Monk Shangjing and take all the risks of the entire TV series on yourself?!"

After hearing Menjie's words, Zhao Dong's eyes suddenly widened and he said in surprise.

According to the normal market price, each of the director Shang Jing and the screenwriter Cai Shen in the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" can get a lot of wealth as their salary.

But both of them are also very clear that as a new actor who has just debuted for more than a year, his family background is not very good, and it is impossible to provide help for Menjie. The investment in this TV series "Wulin Gaiden",

It can't be too big.

Even though Menjie later borrowed money, he still had plenty of funds. The God of Wealth and Shang Jing were still reasonable towards Menjie and gave him a promise.

If Menjie does not have sufficient funds on hand, then Menjie can replace the salaries of Shang Jing and Zhu Caishen with shares in the TV series "Wulin Gaiden". In other words, Shang Jing and Zhu Caishen are willing to

, bear part of the risk of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" on them!

If Men Jie and Jia Jingwen both require full remuneration, then the total budget of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" will reach a full 12 million, and the director Shang Jing and the screenwriter Xue Caishen are shooting such a TV series, so

The salaries that need to be paid to them are also 4 million soft girl coins and 3 million soft girl coins respectively.

After all, in the next five months or so, director Shang Jing will be responsible for whatever happens on the crew, big or small. He has a very heavy responsibility, and even what the film will look like in the end is also

It has a lot to do with Shang Jing.

As the well-deserved number one person in the crew, it is not a surprise that Shang Jing can get a salary of 4 million yuan, which is higher than Menjie.

As for the God of Wealth, Menjie will invest 3 million soft sister coins to purchase the script of his "Wulin Gaiden". In addition, for the next five months, the God of Wealth will still need to stay with the crew.

The crew always made some minor modifications to the script based on the situation on site, and the workload was also very huge. In addition, due to intellectual property rights, a salary of 3 million, which is the same as Menjie's salary, is considered normal!

If you add them all up, it would be a total of 19 million yuan, plus the minimum additional investment of 2 million yuan, as well as all the trivial expenses such as advertising expenses, public relations expenses, editing expenses, etc. after the successful filming of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden"

After adding it all together, the investment in the entire film is about 25 million RMB!

Shang Jing and Yan Cai Shen did not take advantage of Menjie. They asked Menjie for 16 and 12 shares of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" respectively, which was the same value as the salary they should have received, and they also borne the burden for Menjie.

Part of the risk indeed moved Menjie very much.

but……

Facing the God of Wealth, Shang Jing only felt that they were helping Menjie share the risks of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden", but they did not consider that their move would also reduce Menjie's income!

If Menjie does not have sufficient funds on hand, he may eventually choose to owe the God of Cai and Shang Jing each a favor and give them a total of 28 shares.
Chapter completed!
