The matter actually happened to one of the investors in "Knowledge" because he was the financial backer behind the original second male lead.

Because he joined later, Peng Hui needed to audition.

On the day of the audition, the financial sponsor and another actor Zhu Long also came.

And what is very speechless is that it was Zhu Long who auditioned first.

actually……

Zhu Long's acting skills are very strong.

This is the truth.

Zhu Long was born in 1988. He made his first movie in 2009 and has been filming seriously since then.

Today, it has been eight years since his debut.

I can't say that my acting skills are great, but I'm better at being simple and unpretentious.

Never underestimate this kind of acting skill. The intuitive grade standard for this kind of acting skill is...

One line.

Yes, Zhu Long's acting skills are also top-notch.

And he is not the kind of new A-list actor before, but the kind of powerful A-list actor who has been polished by time!

Strength is in the front, front line is in the back.

In terms of strength, he is indeed on the front line, but in terms of popularity...

Too far apart.

Although the two are equally good-looking, Peng Hui's popularity bonus is too high.

So high that even Kong Sheng fell silent after seeing the two of them auditioning.

Zhu Yilong's acting skills are very good, but Zhu Yilong has one biggest problem, which is his reputation.

If I were to change the producer, I would just choose Zhu Yilong without saying a word.

But when facing Peng Hui, even Kong Sheng hesitated.

The entertainment industry is actually very small.

Everyone can see how Peng Hui has developed over the past two years.

Let's not talk about the big movie "The Ultimate" which created a box office miracle of 3.7 billion, let's just talk about the latest one "Flash Girl".

The director's strength, actors' acting skills, and all other factors displayed are enough to prove his excellence!

And the most talked-about thing is a hot search that happened to be popular recently.

Peng Hui makes money.

Facts have proved that all the projects that Peng Hui has participated in have made crazy money!

The worst ones are the ones from "Flash Girl" that have been doubled!

Even if Kong Sheng could choose Zhu Yilong subjectively, under objective circumstances, he could only find one thing helplessly.

That is, both the company and himself must consider the profits brought by Peng Hui's joining.

So who to choose in this case is a headache.

what to do?

Kong Sheng was a little confused.

Seeing Kong Sheng's hesitation, the financial owner's expression turned ugly.

"Director Kong, our Zhu Long's acting skills are not bad, right? How about it, can you tell me?" the sponsor said dissatisfied.

"This..." Kong Sheng also smiled bitterly.

In fact, why doesn't he know this?

only……

It can't be done.

It's really hard to choose.

In terms of looks, one of them is a weak scholar and the other is a handsome young man.

In terms of acting skills, the two of them are evenly matched, both are top-notch, and both are solid top-tier actors.

Except for Peng Hui's advantage in terms of age, the two of them are actually similar in other aspects.

But in terms of salary, there is really a big difference between the two.

Zhu Long's salary is 60 million.

At this time, Peng Hui's salary for one drama was about two million per episode.

Calculated based on the DVD version of seventy-three episodes, that is 146 million!

The budget of "Knowledge" is less than 500 million!

He would take nearly a quarter of the money alone!

Who can do this?

But this matter still needs to be discussed.

"Director Peng." As soon as Kong Sheng opened his mouth, everyone else's hearts moved.

Calling Director Peng obviously meant he had a plan.

Even though Zhu Long was about to turn 30, he couldn't help but laugh a little.

In fact, even the donor is like this.

Peng Hui said nothing and looked at Kong Sheng silently.

The real director Zhang Kaizhou on the side wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent.

Kong Sheng ignored the gazes of others and asked: "To be honest, I like both of you very much. Your acting skills, appearance, and image are all very good, but the problem now is..."

After a pause, Kong Sheng looked at Peng Hui and asked seriously: "Is your quotation... a bit high?"

Peng Hui sighed in his heart, knowing that this was the case.

Is the price of a TV series worth two million an episode too high?

Very high!

Even ridiculously high!

However, this is actually a very common price for real traffic!

This is the truth.

For example, "The Legend of the Destiny" which was just aired this year, although it was extremely bad, Lu Mei did indeed receive a salary of 100 million yuan!

With a total of fifty-six episodes, there are nearly 1.75 million episodes!

This is because Lu Mei only has four movies that are not big hits at the box office and is a regular guest in a national variety show.

Huang Tao, the weakest among the "Four Returned Sons", filmed 54 episodes of "Westward Journey: My Love for Ten Thousand Years" and received a salary of 70 million!

The total is almost 1.3 million per episode.

And what about Peng Hui?

Peng Hui now has a movie box office of 4 billion, and he is only 22 years old this year.

The starring roles are all hit dramas, and the worst ratings are all 0.5%!

Not to mention "In the Name of the People" which has continued to dominate the screen recently, and every drama she starred in has become a hit!

He has acting skills, strength, and good looks. The key is that every film he participates in becomes a hit!

For such an artist, the price of two million per episode is really cheap!

But that’s the problem!

The price of 146 million cannot be afforded even by Noon Sunshine, which is known for its obedience to the Tao of Transformation!

After all, he alone took away a quarter, but he was still the second male lead...

You must know that even the heroine Ying Bao, who is the absolute center of this drama, only received a salary of 60 million!

Of course this is a price reduction.

After all, with Ying Bao's popularity, it is normal to ask for two million per episode.

Even though the second male lead doesn't have much role in the series, but...

The price of 2 million per episode is still a bit too onerous!

It's not that I can't afford it, but...

no need.
