This question from the Apple Daily reporter is obviously provocative. They have already learned about the pay structure of the drama "Red Cliff".

Originally, Zhou Runfa played the role of Zhou Yu, and the crew offered a pay of 40 million. Liang Chaowei adjusted from Zhou Yu to Zhuge Liang. Although he changed from the male lead to the second male lead, the pay of 22 million remained unchanged. Later, Zhou Runfa left the crew, and Liang Chaowei took over the role of Zhou Yu again, which could be regarded as helping Wu Yushen save the scene. In the end, Wu Yushen increased his pay by another 2 million, reaching the highest value of 24 million since he became a filmmaker.

Apple Daily, who found out about this news, was originally planning to hype the crew's pay, and they even prepared the title: "As well as a first-line artist in Xiangjiang, Zhou Runfa is more expensive than Liang Chaowei."

For gossip media like Apple Daily, the more popular the topic is, the more it can attract the audience's attention. Such a title that involves three popular stars will definitely be popular.

However, they got another news from the crew, that is, Qin Yu, who joined the crew in the end, paid as much as 11 million yuan, which was two million yuan higher than Zhang Zhen, who is also a Hong Kong and Taiwan artist. This news made them see another explosive point that can be hyped.

As a Xiangjiang media, they also assume that Hong Kong and Taiwan artists have to be more than twice the pay for mainland artists, so Liang Chaowei's pay is more than twice the pay for Qin Yu. In their opinion, it is normal, but it is two million higher than Zhang Zhen's, which makes them unable to accept it.

They were preparing to provoke trouble and were preparing to arouse other actors' dissatisfaction with Qin Yu's high pay. Because in their inquiry, the mainland artist Zhang Fengyi, who also had many scenes in this drama, had a pay of only 1.5 million yuan, while Hu Jun, who played Zhao Zilong, had a pay of only 1 million yuan. Why can Qin Yu, a new actor who has just debuted for a few years, get such a high pay?

With this doubt, everyone looked at director Wu Yushen. At this time, Wu Yushen could only explain to the media present: "What this reporter said was wrong. The one-one million pay is the pay we set for the role of Zhuge Liang. Since Qin Yu got this role, he should get this pay. And I also believe that with Mr. Qin Yu's acting skills, the role of Zhuge Liang can be fully interpreted."

When Wang Jinghua negotiated with Wu Yushen, the maximum expectation of Qin Yu's salary was about 8 million to 10 million, and she had never thought of helping him get a 11 million salary. However, Wu Yushen happened to receive a notice from Zhou Runfa to arrange for the first salary to be refunded. Wu Yushen was angry and divided the one-third of Zhou Runfa's advance payment into two, added two million to Liang Chaowei, and gave all the remaining 11 million to Qin Yu. Wang Jinghua would definitely not think that the salary was too high, so she directly pulled Wu Yushen to decide on the contract on the spot. Even if Wu Yushen wanted to repent, it was too late.

Qin Yu's pay has exceeded the ceiling of domestic male movie stars, only less than Gong Li, who is known as an international superstar. So after signing the contract, both parties had a tacit understanding and did not announce Qin Yu's pay to the public. As an agent, Yang Siwei even worried that Qin Yu's pay would be exposed, which would cause attacks from domestic artists.

You can earn more, but you can't earn more than me. This is the human heart, this is the cause of envy, jealousy and hatred.

In order to deal with this situation, Yang Siwei invited her senior sister Yuan Lei to give Qin Yu an exclusive interview and use the domestic front-line media "Southern Weekend" to expand Qin Yu's influence. But what she didn't expect was that before her preparations were implemented, the other party had already begun to attack.

Although Wu Yushen's answer just now was just right and he made excuses on the grounds of preset pay for the characters, this statement does not explain why Qin Yu is much higher than other domestic artists.

Sure enough, the media reporter from Xiangjiang then pointed the finger at Zhang Fengyi and asked maliciously: "Mr. Zhang Fengyi, as we understand, Mr. Qin Yu's salary is several times higher than yours. I wonder what you think?"

After asking a question, the reporter even looked at Zhang Fengyi with contempt. If he could stimulate Zhang Fengyi to get angry on the spot or even quit the performance, it would be a huge explosion for them.

"I know your intention to ask this question." But the result disappointed them. Zhang Fengyi did not show the anger they expected, but showed a playful expression: "I am very pleased and happy that Qin Yu can get a pay of more than 10 million yuan. Because with Qin Yu's pay of more than 10 million yuan this time, there will definitely be other artists who can pay more than 10 million yuan in the future, or even more than Hong Kong and Taiwan artists. But why do you reporters think that mainland artists must have less pay than Hong Kong and Taiwan artists?"

After Qin Yu signed the contract, Yang Siwei thought of the difficulties he might encounter in the future, and Wang Jinghua, as the number one agent in China, also thought of it.

A few days after Qin Yu signed the contract, Wang Jinghua found Zhang Fengyi's agent, You Yong and others' agent, and like the crew proposed to increase the pay. With the support of Han Sanping, many domestic artists shared the free pay budget because Zhou Runfa resigned. Zhang Fengyi's pay also increased from 150,000 to 6 million now, Hu Jun's pay was also increased to 4 million, and Song Ran's pay was increased from 500,000 to 1.5 million, which made her very excited.

For Zhang Fengyi, his benefit was obtained by Wang Jinghua, and he must help Qin Yu get this matter through. Although Qin Yu was able to get more than 10 million in pay made them a little envious and jealous, they were more excited.

Qin Yu's pay of more than 10 million yuan directly broke the ceiling of domestic male star pay. With Qin Yu as a reference, mainland artists can be much more tough when discussing pay with crews. This is something that is beneficial to all domestic artists, so why not do it?

Moreover, as a domestic front-line artist, Zhang Fengyi was also very dissatisfied with the long-term situation where Hong Kong and Taiwan artists pay higher than mainland artists. Therefore, after hearing the question from Apple Daily, he directly extended the subject of the conflict to the difference in the pay between mainland and Hong Kong and Taiwan artists.

When Feng Xiaogang was filming "The World Without Thieves" in 2004, he once complained to the media about the injustice of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists and mainland artists having different pay for equal work.

At that time, Liu Dehua paid 7 million yuan in films and Liu Ruoying paid 3 million yuan in films. The pair of "thief-wife" directly took away one-third of the production costs. Ge You, the other "thief-head" Uncle Li, had a pay of only 1.5 million yuan in films, which was not as much as Lin Jiadong, who followed Liu Dehua to film. Several other starring actors, such as Li Bingbing, paid 500,000 yuan in films, and Wang Baoqiang paid only 100,000 yuan in films.

At that time, this far-fetched pay made domestic artist groups very dissatisfied. Hong Kong and Taiwan artists have appeal, but as a domestic front-line Guyou is still the best actor in Cannes, why is the pay so much lower than the other party?

However, the dissatisfaction of mainland artists was not taken seriously. In the following years, the gap between their pay and Hong Kong and Taiwan artists became wider and wider. Later, when "The Promise", "Night Banquet", "The Golden Armor in the City" and "The Vote", Li Lianjie even had a pay of 100 million yuan, and Zhou Run gave a pay of 8 million US dollars, while the pay ceiling for mainland artists was only 6 million yuan.

This kind of pay, which is more than ten times different, has accumulated a certain amount of dissatisfaction among mainland artists. Today, it will be revealed by this opportunity. So Zhang Fengyi took advantage of Qin Yu's pay to fire the first shot at this matter.
