Chapter 76 Just Want to Sleep After watching Cui Bo leave with a complicated and troubled expression, Hao Lei finally lifted her "defensive posture" of hugging her shoulders. "Hey~" She reached out and poked Xu Kun's arm, curiously asking, "What's going on between you and her?" "What else could it be?" Xu Kun spread his hands and said, "She misunderstood that we were helping Yang Rong to target her." "I don't think it's that simple?" Hao Lei didn't believe it at all and said firmly: "Just look at the look she gave you when she left just now. It seemed to contain all the ups and downs in her eyes. You must have something else to do!" "Haha~" Xu Kunxun asked back with a frown, "Sister Lei, after Baoqiang and I left yesterday, did Deng Chao sing a farewell song for you alone?" Hao Lei blushed and shyly kicked Xu Kun: "roll!"
"嗻~" Xu Kun quickly returned to his dormitory, and almost bumped into Deng Chao who was peeking through the crack in the door. "Hmm~" Xu Kun was speechless: "You are also on guard against your own people?!" "no no!" Deng Chao denied it guiltily: "How is that possible!" Then he changed the subject abruptly, "I just heard from Brother Wang that the contract will be officially signed tomorrow afternoon. How much do you think you can offer us per episode?" Baoqiang was obviously very concerned about this issue and his ears immediately pricked up. Xu Kun didn't care much about it. He only got more than 7,000 yuan for the two dramas "Blind Well" and "Conquer". If he had the time to play the Japanese, he could earn at least five times more - the reason why it is not ten times is that there are only a limited number of anti-Japanese dramas, and it is impossible to keep them on the air all year round. Therefore, his view on serious acting roles is to accumulate experience and fame so that he can one day reap the benefits of side gigs and advertisements. But Deng Chao and Bao Qiang were discussing it with great interest. "I heard that the salary for Huang Xiaoming in The Emperor of Han Dynasty is 4,000 per episode, so our crew should be able to make the same." "Then how much do they get for supporting roles?" "How would I know that? You should ask Wang Ling." "I, I don't dare." "I don't dare either." "Brother Chao, how much do you think you can take?" "I'm the protagonist after all, so I should get at least 2,000 per episode, right?" Deng Chao's words were not very confident. He had also guest-starred in low-budget TV dramas and knew the price of ordinary newcomers. Although he felt that "The Young Emperor" was aimed at "The Emperor of Han Dynasty", he did not dare to estimate his own worth too high.
The script has been written for 40 episodes, and 2,000 per episode is 80,000... hiss~ It turns out that being a leading actor earns more than playing a Japanese soldier! Now Xu Kun also became interested, thinking that he really had to find a big crew, at least it would be real money. They are not as stingy as Li Yang and Gao Qunshu. The total investment of "Blind Well" and "Conquer" is barely one-third of "The Young Emperor". Baoqiang was also counting on his fingers. Although his role was not as big as Deng Chao's, it was barely enough to meet the standard of being calculated by episode. Even if it was 500 yuan per episode, it would be 20,000 yuan. After Baoqiang finished the calculation, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. Deng Chaoxiao asked: "Baoqiang, what are you going to do with the money?" "To pay taxes, of course!" Baoqiang spat out. "Pay taxes?" This answer was obviously something Deng Chao had not expected. Baoqiang explained: "Didn't Liu Xiaoqing go to jail a while ago? I have already discussed with Brother Kun that we must file taxes on any money we earn in the future." "This……" Deng Chao muttered with a look of pain on his face: "This is not a small amount. I heard that the more you earn, the higher the percentage you pay." Just now, he was so happy when he thought about getting 80,000 yuan that he grinned. Now, when he thought about the tax he had to pay on 80,000 yuan, his heart began to bleed again. Xu Kun, who was reading the script, glanced at him and asked, "Then will you pay it or not?" Deng Chao hesitated again and again, but finally squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Surrender!" Then he muttered quietly: "Of course I have to pay it, but I can always find a way to avoid it, right?" ………… 2 . Xu Kun and the other two went out on time and each found someone to rehearse with. Xu Kun originally wanted to go to the living room with Deng Chao, but he bumped into Yang Rong who looked conflicted. "What's wrong again?" "Cui Bo just went to see Director Liu and said that he wanted to try the bouquet." "This is a good thing!" Xu Kun heaved a sigh of relief at first, but then he felt a little wronged. It was clearly Cui Bo who set him up, but he still had to persuade her to "turn back." However, he did this mainly to distance himself from the matter, so as to avoid misunderstandings from Director Liu Heng and the seniors in the crew. He had to accept it even if it meant suffering some loss. "But Chen Jie started crying again." Yang Rong frowned and said anxiously, "It turns out that Chen Jie went to see the director yesterday, but Director Liu obviously thinks more of Cui Bo." Xu Kun: “…”
It was indeed a drama between three women, with one thing leading to another. There are only four young and beautiful characters with many screentimes in the play, namely: the Queen, Tong Layue, Wu Yunzhu, and Huabuzi. Now there is only the Black Cloud Pearl left to grab - but Chen Jie has always been in Tong Layue's group, what can she use to compete with Huo Siyan and Wang Ling? Of course, apart from the main characters, the crew also has other characters to choose from, such as the naive new queen who has few roles, or Rou Rongniu, the maid beside Wu Yunzhu. Seeing Yang Rong sighing there, Xu Kun spread his hands and said, "You don't live by the sea, why do you care so much? Just play your part first." Yang Rong rolled her eyes cutely: "It seems you don't need to live with them. If you move in, you will know what it means to be in low pressure all day long." Haha~ Xu Kun thought to himself that if he could live there, he would definitely cheer them up every day until they were so relaxed that they wouldn't feel cold in their uterus. As she was talking, Cui Bo also came out from the inner room. This woman's good mood was almost written on her face. When he saw Xu Kun and Yang Rong, he lowered his head uncomfortably at first, but then he gritted his teeth and ran over here. "Thank you!" The way she bent all the way down looked a bit like a member of a Korean girl group, especially with her long and slender legs. Fortunately, Hao Lei is 167cm tall. If she was like Yang Rong, only about 160cm tall, it would be difficult for Cui Bo to play the role of Hua Zi. Even if the servant lowers her head, she is still taller than her master. That is too... In front of Yang Rong, Xu Kun couldn't bring up what happened last night, so he casually pointed out: "If you want to thank someone, thank Sister Lei. Didn't you say it yourself that Huazhuzi is the shadow of the Queen, and they are inseparable? Don't you understand the principle?" In the past, when Xu Kun acted like an "uncle", Cui Bo always found it unpleasant to listen to. Firstly, he thought that he was biased towards Yang Rong, and secondly, it was because Xu Kun was only one year older than him. But this time she listened to it, glanced at Yang Rong, and said to Xu Kun: "Then I will go to Sister Lei to act with her." After the girl finished speaking, she took a few steps with her long legs, then suddenly turned around and smiled brightly at Xu Kun. "Hey hey hey~" Yang Rong's eyes lit up, as if she had discovered a new world. She poked Xu Kun's waist with her elbow and asked, "Is she interested in you?" Yesterday we were discussing Hao Lei's gossip, and she seemed to be the one talking about it most enthusiastically. "What's the point?" Xu Kun stretched his body and said, "I am now fully focused on my career. I don't want to think about anything else except eating and sleeping." He really just wanted to sleep, but he was afraid that the other person didn't think so. (End of this chapter)
