"Do you want to accept commercials and participate in commercial performances?" Chihara Rinto turned the red and blue pencils in his hand, a little surprised, and pondered: "Why do you ask me about such a thing?"
Safuzi lowered his eyebrows and said, "I would like to ask you to say hello to our president. He is afraid of affecting the filming and refuses to let my agent help me take on extra work, so I have no choice but to come to you."
She came here forcefully, but she was actually very afraid of Chihara Rinto. Even though Chihara Rinto had never yelled at her, she didn't know why, but she always felt a lot of pressure when she sat in front of him and was stared at by him.
,but……
I have been working hard year after year, humiliating myself in the crew and the company, isn't it just to be famous? But what's the benefit of just being famous? In the end, isn't it still about money?
Now that she has finally become famous, she is really not willing to make money. Even if she gets scolded, she still wants to give it a try. She emphasized: "I will not delay the filming, please believe me."
Qianhara Rinto put down the pen, thought for a while and asked: "Are you short of money now?"
Safuko nodded repeatedly: "My salary used to be very low, and it was hard to get extra work, but the expenses have always been high, so now I... I want to seize the opportunity to make some money."
Chihara Rinto nodded silently. Safuko's previous fixed job was as a guest star in a variety show on Tokyo Broadcasting Teb. However, that show had a large group of active idols, singers, and actors competing for beauty. Safuko's salary should be included in it.
It's not very high. He estimated that it would be about 60,000 to 70,000 yen per issue. After all, it wasn't her who had to do it, but she asked to appear.
Then her monthly fixed salary is less than 300,000 yen. She hardly earns a few bucks from participating in low-cost movies. It is more to practice her acting skills, and she plays a small role in a low-cost TV series, which is basically nothing.
It is very likely that it will last throughout the whole season, and it will be basically equivalent to a part-time job. On the plus side, giving her 100,000 yen per episode would be pretty good.
Note that this is without a commission from the company, and it is before tax. It is estimated that the real amount she can get is only about 70%? This is because the company of the old man Teppei Nagano is very conscientious. There really is such a black-hearted brokerage company. Safiko takes it.
It is possible to get 20% or a salary of more than ten or two hundred thousand yen a month.
The cost of living in Tokyo is very high, and actresses like Safiko have to pay special attention to appearance. Expenses such as clothing, cosmetics, skin care products, and body shaping training are not too small. It is estimated that after two years of working, she has zero savings.
At least she is somewhat famous, and her income and expenses are evenly balanced. Some young actors and comedians have to be like street actors, doing odd jobs to survive in Tokyo and continue to pursue their dreams.
Chihara Rinto is still humane and understands Safuko's difficulties. After all, she also has to live, and it is human nature to pursue a better life. If he were Safiko, he would also have to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.
What's more, there is a potential tacit understanding among major TV stations to keep actors' salaries down. Japanese actors only rely on salary as a white-collar income. Participating in commercial performances or accepting advertisements are the main sources of income. Actors basically do this.
, there is nothing wrong with Safuko’s request. Of course, it must be well coordinated with the crew and not conflict with the shooting schedule. The actors cannot just rush for money without thinking.
He agreed directly and said: "Okay, I will talk to Nagano-senpai."
Safuko was surprised: "You agreed?" She didn't expect it to be so easy. She came with the determination to have her head beaten by Rinto Chihara!
"I agreed." Qianhara Rinto said simply: "But remember your promise, discuss it with your agent, and stop when it's appropriate. Don't take any job, which will eventually affect the normal filming. You have a contract with the crew, and you will be in the TV series.
During the filming, this is what you must complete and do well, and you must have the minimum spirit of contract."
"Yes, I will definitely keep my promise and it will never affect the filming!"
Safiko was so overjoyed that she immediately gave Chihara Rinto a big bow and thanked him several times before happily saying goodbye and leaving. It’s good to be famous. Even a famous screenwriter like Chihara Rinto, a big-time screenwriter, has to give himself face.
Come on, help me say hello to the brokerage company. Who would have dared to think of this two or three months ago?
It seems that I will become bolder in the future, and I can no longer accept everything as I did before. After all, I am no longer the same as before, and I am a first-rate and popular actor!
…………
Chihara Rinto didn't take it seriously. After Safuko left, he called Nagano Teppei. After a few polite words, he went straight to the topic and told him about the matter, asking him not to restrict Safuko from using his free time.
I took on some unimportant tasks during my time, but Nagano Teppei didn't agree with it.
"She is still on the rise. It is too early to rush to make money. And Qianyuan, there is also a principle issue in this. You have given her a huge opportunity, so she should concentrate on filming the TV series well. This is related to
Her reputation in the circle cannot be taken lightly, she still has a long way to go."
Qianhara Rinto thought it didn't matter and said with a smile: "For Feng Ping, as long as I say she is good, she will be fine. Don't worry. And it can't be said that I gave her a huge opportunity. This opportunity is her own bet with her future."
Came back."
"You are overthinking. There are a hundred actresses out of a hundred who are willing to gamble, but few can find the opportunity to gamble."
"I chose her only if her conditions are suitable. If she is not beautiful enough and has no acting skills, this opportunity will not be hers." Qianhara Rinto had his own account in mind and said directly: "Nagano-senpai, I
I know you have good intentions, but now she is also a popular actor, so she probably has more money to spend, but the salary she set before was not high, and the contract is not easy to change, otherwise it will be difficult for Ms. Murakami, so she wants to
Just make some money by yourself, I don’t think there’s any need to stop it.”
After a pause, he said jokingly: "If you block your artists from making money, be careful that the artists are alienated from you."
This is also one of his concerns. Ninety-nine percent of the time when people hang out in society, they are seeking money. If you have to prevent them from getting a high income, will they feel happy? Instead of letting Safiko hold the fire in her heart while filming,
It's better not to worry about trivial things that are innocuous.
And it really made Safuko anxious. She couldn't get the money. If she really changed her agency, the industry couldn't say anything wrong. Most people would think that Nagano Teppei's brain was kicked by a donkey. You don't team up with actors to make money.
, are you stupid? You still think about the crew and talk about character, principles, and long-term effects. This is sick!
Nagano Teppei is thinking about him and wants to help him. Chihara Rinto understands and appreciates it, but he doesn't want to make it difficult for Nagano Teppei, let alone make Safuko resentful of Nagano Teppei for a trivial matter, so...
Just let her earn some, don’t stop her!
Nagano Teppei understood the hidden meaning of his joke, pondered for a moment on the other end of the phone, and sighed: "I know, maybe you are right, then I will help check it and help her take some light and time-saving tasks.
Okay, let her spend less energy, after all, this drama is important to you and her, and she will understand my painstaking efforts in the future."
In fact, if Safiko was messing around, it would really affect the filming. Chihara Rinto took care of her on her own. The actor contract signed in advance was not a decoration, but Nagano Tetsunobu was willing to take more care of things and he didn't object. He smiled and said: "She promised this.
, and as long as she has some brains, it won't affect the shooting. This is the foundation of her fame, but of course it would be better if you can help and watch."
"Okay, okay, I'll talk to her later. If she is really eager to make money, let's do it!" Nagano Teppei still wanted to try his best and was ready to go back and persuade her again. If it failed, he would follow the negotiation.
The matter was basically settled, and he stopped talking about it and asked instead: "By the way, that girl from Jingjing didn't cause you any trouble, did she?"
Misaki Whalei, a busty actress, is also an actress in his company. Like Safuko, he "picked it up" from the street and cares about her equally, even though Misaki Whalewai is currently far less popular than Safuko.
Chihara Rinto had a good impression of Misaki Whalei. He felt that he was a quite honest guy. The pair of "human weapons" easily reminded him of the shy little girl from Seiko two years ago. He smiled and said directly: "It didn't cause any trouble.
, she performed pretty well and has some potential."
In his opinion, if there are no special circumstances, Misaki Whalei can reach the level of the bottom of the first-rate or the top of the second-rate in the future. He is a pretty good special role actor, that is, the kind of actor who is difficult to support a drama alone, but has unique characteristics.
He is bright, very suitable for certain roles, and is a very qualified type to play with.
Qianhara Rinto's evaluation was only good, not even good. Nagano Teppei was quite satisfied and said with a smile: "I'm relieved if she performs well. Please supervise her strictly. I really hope to see them become successful. Qianhara, you don't have to worry about anything."
"
"I understand." Chihara Rinto responded with a smile. Originally, he would be strict in his demands and things would go smoothly. He chatted with Nagano Teppei for a few more words and then ended the call, then shook his head.
Nagano Teppei is really good at his actors. He does his best in basic training, and the contract share is low. He values the future of the actors more than rushing to squeeze out the actors' marrow. Nagano Teppei would rather earn less, and hopes that Safuko can raise a good child.
Reputation, such as repaying kindness and so on, is very rare for the owner of a brokerage company.
Sure enough, there is a reason why his company is not doing well. He takes a long-term view, while actors may not. Just like this time, he forced Safuzi to concentrate on filming TV series and only received salary. Maybe Safuzi will be resentful and become famous in the future.
She actually defected after being seduced a few times. Her acting contract penalty was very low, so even defecting was not a big problem.
However, this person also cares about the quality of the work and is very considerate of the crew's difficulties. Even if there is no friendship, he is a good partner in this aspect.
All in all, he is a very interesting person and deserves respect!
…………
This was a small episode during the shooting break. It took Chihara Rinto less than twenty minutes in total. He put down the phone and continued busy with his business. He called a supporting actor over and started telling him the script with a script, striving to [
The special effects of the "Empathy" skill can be activated, making this supporting character's performance even more eye-catching.
As the filming continued, Safuko used her break to go back to Tokyo twice and took on two small jobs. Nagano Teppei had another long phone conversation with her, analyzing the long-term pros and cons, but Safiko did not change her mind and still wanted to make money first.
After some money and peace of mind, Nagano Teppei gave in and picked two short-term jobs for her that didn't require too much thought.
A jewelry store's image riser or a shopping mall's giant poster can be left alone after shooting, saving time and effort.
But it was a lot of money. In total, she did not spend a day on both items, but she earned 4.5 million yen, which was enough for her to film a TV series for less than half a year. She now earns 250,000 yen per episode on the crew, which is still
Chihara Rinto hinted that Iori Murakami took care of her, and she also had the status of a main protagonist. After all, she had never proven herself at that time. In the eyes of Murakami, Yoshizaki and others, she took advantage of the crew and was not worthy of the price.
As for endorsements and commercial performances, Nagano Teppei has not accepted them for the time being. They take too much energy and time. Endorsements require frequent attendance at events and filming a series of TV commercials and print ads, which might conflict with the shooting schedule.
, and commercial performance is to attend a large-scale event, or be a host, or a guest, or go on stage to perform, or simply be a mascot to accompany you with drinks and play. Sometimes you have to stay for a whole day and you are half exhausted.
It’s so frustrating that these Nagano Teppei didn’t even hire Safuko. In fact, this kind of talent really makes money, like Jackie Chan, an international superstar from another world. It is said that the starting price for participating in a commercial performance is 6 million yuan, and Safuko certainly can’t compare.
Jackie Chan's influence, but based on her current popularity, it is no problem to charge 6 million yen for one appearance.
This was just after she became popular, and she couldn't afford the price for the time being, otherwise it would be no problem to pay more than 10 million yen, and this is already equivalent to the annual income of a senior white-collar graduate from a prestigious school.
First-line actresses such as Asami Arikawa earn more than 200 million yen per year, or even 300 million yen. That's how it comes to be. Based on salary alone, it is estimated that the annual income will shrink by more than ten times.
Safiko made a small fortune through her fame, and she can continue to make money during her break. She was very excited and treated the entire crew to high-end canned coffee. It was imported from the United States, which is quite a generous treat in Japan. Here are three bean bags.
You can visit your home without being rude.
Qianhara Rinto observed silently for two days and found that Safuzi seemed to be quite satisfied with the income. She was not greedy enough. Her eyes turned red when she saw money, she started to have sex uncontrollably, and she had almost no interest in filming.
It had no impact, and there was no need to adjust the shooting plan. He gradually felt relieved and simply put the matter behind him.
As an actor, in a job that involves high investment, high pressure and high output, you should make some money, as long as you don't cause any trouble.
He turned around and continued to promote the filming of "The Most Beautiful Princess in Oulu". He strictly controlled the quality and burned money and time. Murakami Iori, the chief producer in charge of logistics and coordination of work plans, had both eyes sunken into the administration.
Assistant Nishijima Rumi said that Ms. Murakami seemed to be allergic and swollen during the rainy days.
Chihara Rinto didn't have any good ideas. If you want quality, of course you have to spend money. If you don't burn money, you won't get quality. He can only ask Nishijima Rumi to tell the thick-shouldered white-bone man Murakami to drink more chrysanthemum tea to defeat the fire. He didn't even dare to give it.
Murakami Iori called. He had to do it anyway. If the budget was insufficient, he would go to the organizing committee to make trouble. Who would let this be a key program in the station?
The troublesome job was forced on him, but he took it without giving a second thought. The station should accept the fact that the budget is over budget. It feels fair that the station will not let the show end or fail.
Cut in half, unless he was completely shameless and he was confident that he would pay another sum of money, and Murakami Iori probably knew this, otherwise he would have driven over and tore him apart, and no matter how good of a personal relationship he had, it would be useless.
As the filming time became longer and longer, the supporting actors also got into the mood one after another, and the filming gradually got on the right track. His work pressure also began to gradually reduce, and he could hand over more work to Miyawaki Yohito and Tsumura.
Qingxi and other executive directors have laid a solid foundation. After the most difficult and stressful time, he found the oil layer, and with his butt sizzling on fire, he drilled through the rock layer with his head and pumped up the first barrel of oil.
And then when his men couldn't pump out the oil or the oil pumping didn't go smoothly, it was his turn to tear these stupid men apart.
His work schedule gradually returned to normal, and he also had days off. Although the workload was still quite heavy, he was very efficient and could take some work home with him, so he finally had time to go home.
