Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 114: Pay Soars
"Hello, Ms. Cai! I'm Wu Chao!"

At Tangren Company, Chen Huiying helped Wu Zhuo make an appointment with Cai Yinong.

In her office, Wu Chao met the mainland's pioneer of ancient idol dramas.

"You look great! You sing well, too. I've been listening to your albums a lot lately, and I'm getting addicted to them."

Cai Yinong took the initiative to invite Wu Zhuo and Chen Huiying to sit down, "In fact, I have wanted to cooperate with Komi for a long time.

The artists from your company have a good influence in mainland China. If we work together, the drama we produce will definitely be good."

Wu Zhuo and Chen Huiying looked at each other.

Cai Yinong must have confused the current Komi International Films with the previous Komi.

In fact, this situation is very common in the mainland.

Many people mistake the current Komi for the old Komi.

In fact, since Chai Zhiping and Feng Jiarui separated, Komi has been divided into two.

Today’s Komi actually has little to do with the original Komi.

Oh! So it is related.

Ge Fuhong owns two shares of Komi.

"Tangren is the top TV production company in mainland China. We are honored to cooperate with you."

Chen Huiying did not explain that two Komi's were no longer one Komi, but smiled and flattered Cai Yinong.

“Our cooperation this time is a strong alliance, Wu Zhuo is very popular in the mainland.

People on the Internet are saying that he is one of the new Four Heavenly Kings, along with Jay Chou and Wang Leehom. "

Cai Yinong looked at Wu Zhuo with a smile, "I heard that the sales of your album have exceeded 700,000?"

"That's about right! The exact data hasn't been compiled yet."

Recently, the sales data of the album "My Personal Style" continues to rise.

Taiwan has received 27, Singapore 5, and Hong Kong 8.

The data for the third week in the mainland has not yet come out, but the total data for the first two weeks is 13.

If we take into account the United States, Canada, Thailand and other places, it is certain that the sales volume will exceed 600,000.

"That's amazing! It's only been a few weeks. If you continue at this rate, it won't be a problem for your album to sell over a million copies."

Cai Yinong sighed, then took a script from the side.

“This is the script for our project, which consists of four units, each of which is taken from a story in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.

They are respectively called "Liancheng", "Xia Nu", "Xin Shisi Niang" and "Huan Niang".

At present, we have confirmed that Wu Qilong will play the male lead of "Liancheng", and Chen Xiaodong has been confirmed by a Hong Kong investment company to play the male lead of "Xiao Nu".

The remaining two are "Xin Shisi Niang" and "Huan Niang", you can pick any one."

Wu Zhuo didn't say anything, but picked up the script and started reading.

He had actually watched this drama in his previous life, but after so many years, he had long forgotten the plot of the drama.

He only knew that several units of this drama were about ghosts, fox spirits and the like.

He casually flipped through two scripts and said, "Let's play Xin Shisi Niang!"

In fact, judging from the deeper meaning of the story, "Huan Niang" is obviously superior to "Xin Shisi Niang" in its intention.

One is the old-fashioned plot of a demon falling in love with a human, and the other is about two lovers who agree to die together, but one of them breaks the promise and falls in love with someone else in the world of the living. It feels like a heartless actor.

However, this is not a movie that is about ratings.

Compared with "Xin Shisi Niang", the plot of "Huan Niang" is obviously a bit boring, which the audience does not like.

So, Wu Zhuo chose "Xin Shisi Niang".

“Can the protagonist of Lian Cheng be changed?”

After flipping through the script of "Liancheng" again, Wu Zhuo found that this story attracted him more.

"Sorry, Nicky Wu has already signed the contract."

Hearing Wu Zhuo's words, Cai Yinong immediately shook his head.

Although Strange Women of Liaozhai consists of four units, the importance they attach to each unit is actually different. The one that Tangren attaches the most importance to is undoubtedly Liancheng.

The highest priority naturally means that the actors must use the best.

Wu Zhuo is indeed extremely popular.

Even Cai Yinong had to admit this.

She invited Wu Zhuo to act in this drama because she saw that his records were selling well.

However, compared with Wu Qilong, Wu Chao's status in her mind is obviously a little lower.

Seeing this, Wu Zhuo no longer cared.

Anyway, his purpose of making this drama is not to become popular all over the country with this drama.

He just took this opportunity to get in touch with the mainland circle and prepare for his further entry into the mainland.

Next, Chen Huiying began to talk to Cai Yinong about Wu Chao’s pay.

In order to avoid affecting Chen Huiying's performance here, Wu Chao simply left Cai Yinong's office and went to visit Tangren Company.

Wu Chao did not meet the actors from Tangren in the company.

Maybe none of them are from Tangren.

Maybe there is someone there, but I didn’t meet him.

However, the clerks of Tangren Company were very enthusiastic. When they saw Wu Chao, they surrounded him and asked for his autograph.

Among them, several of them released championship celebratory albums.

Wu Zhuo walked around Tangren and signed some autographs for Tangren’s young fans. When he returned to Cai Yinong’s office, Chen Huiying had already negotiated the contract.

"Boss Cai, then we'll have a pleasant cooperation. Wu Zhuo will attend the TV series' opening ceremony on time."

Chen Huiying stood up and shook hands with Cai Yinong with a smile.

"Happy cooperation!"

Cai Yinong was smiling, and her eyebrows were trembling.

Wu Zhuo felt a little strange, but didn't care.

After saying goodbye to Cai Yinong, the two of them left Tangren with the signed contract.

After getting in the car, Chen Huiying smiled and said, "I understand why all the actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan have gone to the mainland in recent years. It's really too easy to make money."

"How many?"

Wu Zhuo was also somewhat curious about how much Tangren could pay him.

"One million is RMB. Besides, you don't have many scenes. There are only ten episodes in total for this unit, and most of the scenes are focused on the female lead."

"So high?" Wu Zhuo was also shocked.

How much is he getting paid for films in Taiwan now?

A few days ago, Sanli sent him a script, under the pretext of repaying him for helping to promote "My Lucky Star".

In fact, everyone knows what happened. It was nothing more than Wu Zhuo's record was a big hit, and with "Smiling Pasta" as the base, Sanli felt that they would make a profit if they invited Wu Zhuo to film a movie now.

But even though Wu Zhuo is extremely popular in Taiwan and can be considered the most popular artist this year, the salary he receives from Sanli is only NT$100,000 per episode.

The key point is the Taiwan dollar.

Compared with this, the Tang people were simply not generous.

For ten episodes, and even though he didn't have the most scenes, he still received a million in salary, which is more than ten times what he earned from Sanli.

Well! This is actually the current situation of Hong Kong and Taiwan actors in the Mainland.

Although Wu Zhuo is currently famous as a singer in mainland China.

But he is very popular and has a high status.

Therefore, the pay is naturally high.

"By the way, I'm filming in the mainland, will there be any problems with Komi?"

Wu Zhuo put down the contract and looked at Chen Huiying.
