Entertainment: Who still wants to fall in love when there are cheats?

Chapter 22 Not taken seriously
Regarding the contract that Tangren Film and Television gave to Li Boda, how should I put it? It's pretty good, although the contract doesn't specify how many dramas Li Boda will be given every year or that he must play the leading male role.

After all, Li Boda's status is so high that he can only play those insignificant supporting roles.

But at least Tangren Film and Television guaranteed that Li Boda could play some important supporting roles, which was a huge improvement for Li Boda, who could only play some minor roles before.

Then there is the film remuneration. Tangren Film and Television will give Li Boda a basic salary of 800 yuan every month, and then the film remuneration, which is split 50-50 before tax.

Speaking of which, for an actor, the base salary and the share of the film remuneration are important, yes, but what is more important is actually how many resources are given.

The split of remuneration is 50-50. This is almost the most mainstream split method nowadays. If it is a bit more demanding, it is probably 40-60, with the artist taking 40% and the company taking 60%.

As for the 190% or 280% split, there is no such thing in the mainland, at least in this era.

The main reason is that actors' salaries were generally low during this era. Take, for example, Li Boda. He played Wei Bi in about three episodes, but he only received a total salary of 3,000 yuan, an average of 1,000 yuan per episode. If you split the salary 190%, the company would take 2,700 yuan directly. This is impossible. Of course, this is just an analogy. After all, when Li Boda played Wei Bi, he didn't have an agency.

If Li Boda had signed a contract with Tangren Film and Television at that time, and Tangren Film and Television had made an effort, the role Li Boda got would not be Wei Bi, but Song Qingshu.

As for the length of the contract, it is seven years!
It is now 02, which means that Li Boda’s contract with Tangren Film and Television will not expire until 09.

But this is normal. Film and television companies will try their best to sign long-term contracts with actors who have some potential, because only in this way will the company invest a lot of resources in you, so that you can report to the company when you become famous.

If you sign a one- or two-year contract, and the company invests a lot of resources in you, making you famous, and then the contract expires and you refuse to sign and simply walk away, the film company will lose a lot of money.

Generally speaking, short-term contracts of one to two years are signed with established artists, as the company can see a return on the resources they invest in you almost immediately.

Otherwise, as a newcomer, even if you have great potential, the film and television company will definitely not sign you to a short-term contract.

After signing the contract, Li Boda also met with Cai Yinong, the boss of Tangren Film and Television.

He discovered that Cai Yinong was actually a beauty, with a score of 7 out of 10.

Cai Yinong's attitude towards Li Boda was actually quite good, and she talked a lot with Li Boda in a gentle tone.

Li Boda also took the opportunity to express that he likes to shoot costume martial arts dramas and even mythological dramas, and praised "The Twins", "The Mermaid" and "The Lotus Lantern" in particular.

These were all works previously shot by Tangren Film and Television, so Li Boda's praise of these works also brought a few more smiles to Cai Yinong's face.

"A costume martial arts drama, or a mythological drama, right? No problem. The company will try its best to help you obtain resources in this area." Cai Yinong assured with a smile.

In fact, Li Boda is not the only newcomer signed by Tangren Film and Television this year.

Cai Yinong even went to the Shanghai Theatre Academy to sign two sophomores, Hu Ge and Yuan Hong.

Unlike Li Boda, who excelled in martial arts and hoped to develop his talents in the field of ancient costume martial arts and fairy tales, Hu Ge, Yuan Hong, and Cai Yinong wanted to cultivate them in the direction of modern idol dramas. After all, modern idol dramas are very popular, just like Tangren's current top film star, Li Yapeng, who was previously promoted by Tangren through modern idol dramas.

Li Yapeng's appearances in dramas like "Love Is Not Blind," "Beijing-Hong Kong Love Line," "Love Letter," and "Love Tied to the Sun, Moon, and Stars" have made him a popular A-list actor. This explains why Zhang Jizhong chose him to play Linghu Chong in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer." Clearly, Li Yapeng's image and personality weren't suitable for the role, but it was precisely because of his numerous roles in modern idol dramas that he became a popular A-list actor.

Therefore, Hu Ge and Yuan Hong, two sophomores at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, were given special attention by Cai Yinong, who planned to promote them in the same way he promoted Li Yapeng.

For this reason, Cai Yinong has decided to shoot a modern idol drama. She has even bought the copyright of the novel. The original novel of this modern idol drama is "Dandelion".

As for Cai Yinong, Li Boda was just a contract signed by chance, so he didn't take him seriously.

After all, Li Boda, no matter how skilled he is, is not a graduate of a professional school.

In Cai Yinong's opinion, Li Boda cannot compare with Hu Ge and Yuan Hong from Shanghai Theatre Academy in terms of potential.

But this is indeed the case under normal circumstances. Unfortunately, Cai Yinong didn't know that Li Boda had a cheat.

After signing the contract with Tangren Film and Television, Li Boda almost immediately received the resources provided by Tangren Film and Television.

Zhang Jizhong's audition opportunity for Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. (Actually, the auditions for this TV series started much earlier, but the audition time is postponed here, so don't take it too seriously.)
【Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils】, Li Boda had actually been aiming at it for a long time.

After all, when Li Boda's golden finger was triggered, he thought it was because of Jin Yong's dramas, so he has a special liking for Jin Yong's dramas.

So he kept asking about the filming of Jin Yong's dramas.

[The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils] is naturally no exception.

However, before signing the contract, Li Boda did not get any chance to audition, or in other words, he did not have the opportunity to audition for any important role. At most, he could only compete for some minor roles.

After becoming an artist of Tangren Film and Television, Li Boda had no chance to play the leading role or a very important supporting role, such as Murong Fu.

However, Tangren Film and Television still managed to get him an audition opportunity for a less important supporting role.

Li Boda did not consider the three main characters, Murong Fu and others.

As for the other characters, to be honest, the one that Li Boda values ​​most is Azhu, because Azhu has the ability to disguise herself, the kind of disguise that almost no one can see through.

This also means that Ah Zhu's acting skills are very good. If he could play Ah Zhu, Li Boda's acting skills would definitely be greatly improved, and he might even reach the level of a movie emperor.

It's a pity that Ah Zhu is a woman. It's impossible for Li Boda to cut off his own genitals to play Ah Zhu.
