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

Chapter 84 Remuneration
"Congratulations. You got the role of Yang Guo. I said you are more suitable to play Yang Guo than anyone else." Liu Yifei, who came to take the final makeup photo with Li Boda, said happily.

"You have made a great contribution to my getting the role of Yang Guo. Thank you, Xixi!" Li Boda put the credit on Liu Yifei. Sure enough, Liu Yifei became even happier after hearing this, and her teeth were exposed again when she smiled.

Li Boda, Liu Yifei, Chen Zihan and others took makeup photos, and then the "The Return of the Condor Heroes" crew officially released them.

Now, the casting controversy of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" has passed.

There were so many twists and turns in the middle, especially the inside stories revealed by Nie Yuan, which attracted the attention of countless people inside and outside the circle.

In the end, the role of Yang Guo was settled, and Li Boda broke out and won the role of Yang Guo, becoming the big winner among everyone.

However, after Li Boda got the role of Yang Guo, many people outside were discussing whether Li Boda had made some behind-the-scenes deal with Zhang Da Huzi.

After all, the Huang Xiaoming incident exposed by Nie Yuan caused quite a stir, which made people suspicious, which is normal.

In fact, there really was a deal between Li Boda and Zhang Da Huzi.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, 80,000 per episode! How dare Zhang Da Huzi raise my salary!" Li Boda couldn't help but exclaim, "You know, Zhang Da Huzi only offered Liu Yifei 8,000 per episode, and on my side, he actually raised it tenfold."

"After all, we have agreed with Zhang Da Huzi that we will not give him any benefits, and similarly, Zhang Da Huzi does not have to pay you any salary. Since your salary is his, he will of course do his best to increase your salary." Sister Wang said, shaking her head.

In the deal that Sister Wang had made with Zhang Da Huzi before, Li Boda did not need to pay any additional compensation, but all of Li Boda's film remuneration belonged to Zhang Da Huzi.

If the crew of The Return of the Condor Heroes paid Li Boda a lower salary of only 8,000 per episode like Liu Yifei, and Li Boda played Yang Guo in about 35 episodes, then Zhang Da Huzi would only have received 280,000. Now Zhang Da Huzi has raised Li Boda's salary to 80,000, so in the end, Zhang Da Huzi will receive 28 million.

If Li Boda's fame and status were not so low, Zhang Da Huzi would even dare to increase Li Boda's pay per episode to more than 100,000.

"Sister Wang, the tax payment is taken care of by Zhang Da Huzi, right?" Li Boda asked again.

If Zhang Da Huzi had been irresponsible about taxation and had asked Li Boda to pay it, Li Boda would have had to pay an additional 126 million, which is not a small amount. Fortunately, while Zhang Da Huzi took Li Boda's salary, he also paid the tax on the salary Li Boda earned from filming "The Return of the Condor Heroes." Otherwise, Li Boda would have been heartbroken.

"Yes, Big Beard Zhang is also worried. He's afraid that if we're reluctant to pay taxes and something goes wrong, it will be traced back to him. So he would rather pay this part of the tax than be implicated if any problems arise on your side." Sister Wang explained with a smile.

"I'm worried that he won't be willing to pay taxes, and then be discovered by the higher-ups, which will implicate me." Li Boda muttered with a pout.

"He has a wealthy family and a big business, and he doesn't want to perish with you. I went to the tax bureau to check before, and Zhang Da Huzi has already paid the tax on your film remuneration, a total of 126 million yuan." Sister Wang said with a smile.

Hearing Sister Wang say this, Li Boda breathed a sigh of relief.

This kind of backroom deal was illegal in the first place, and if the tax wasn't paid, it would be a serious problem. Now that the tax has been paid, this last loophole has been filled. Even if this matter really was leaked, the higher-ups wouldn't find anything wrong.

"So this time, Zhang Da Huzi earned 154 million for the role of Yang Guo, which is much less than Huang Xiaoming's 200." Li Boda couldn't help but say.

"You can't say that. Although Zhang Da Huzi only got 154 million, it's safe! And Huang Xiaoming's affairs have been exposed, which has had a certain impact on Zhang Da Huzi. He can't expect to get another 2 million. Of course, this matter is none of our business, but the pay is 80,000 per episode. Boda, we didn't suffer any loss this time. At least the pay has been raised." Sister Wang said with a smile.

What can I say about Li Boda's pay? Because he played supporting roles in the two dramas that became popular before, one was the second male lead Ouyang Mingri in "Snow Goddess Dragon", and the other was the fifth male lead in "A Chinese Ghost Story". Although his role was increased later, he could not be considered the protagonist.

So when filming "The Four" again, Li Boda's salary was only 30,000 per episode.

Because "The Four" is not as popular as "Snow Woman Dragon" and "A Chinese Ghost Story", Li Boda's current salary has only been raised to 40,000 per episode.

Not to mention that when filming "Turn Left, Turn Right", Li Boda's salary was discounted and was actually only 32,000.

Now Zhang Da Huzi has doubled Li Boda's salary to 80,000 per episode. After that, Li Boda can quote 80,000 when he takes on a role.

After all, the pay for Zhang Da Hu Zi's Jin Yong dramas and Li Boda's dramas is so high, especially the actors in Zhang Da Hu Zi's Jin Yong dramas, who usually keep their pay low.

In other film crews, the pay is 20,000 yuan, but in Zhang Da Huzi's Jin Yong drama, Zhang Da Huzi may give you 10,000 yuan per episode or even less.

So although Li Boda did not receive any salary for filming "The Return of the Condor Heroes", his salary was raised.

Moreover, this is the salary for filming The Return of the Condor Heroes. If The Return of the Condor Heroes becomes a hit after it is broadcast, then Li Boda's salary may be increased to more than 100,000 per episode. It can be said that although Li Boda did not receive the salary for The Return of the Condor Heroes, he actually had many hidden benefits. Even after filming The Return of the Condor Heroes, he could earn back his salary for The Return of the Condor Heroes by taking on any other drama.

After all, Li Boda's normal salary is only 40,000 per episode. But after filming "The Return of the Condor Heroes", even if the show has not been broadcast yet, Li Boda's salary will be increased to 80,000 per episode if he takes on another role.

When Liu Yifei learned that the crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" paid Li Boda 80,000 yuan per episode, her little mouth was so surprised that it could fit an intestine.

"Why is your pay so high? I only make 8,000 per episode." Liu Yifei couldn't help but ask.

"Of course it's because I have more experience than you and have filmed more dramas! At the same time, I'm a little more famous than you!" Li Boda teased Liu Yifei with a smile.

"More experience than me? When I was filming Wang Yuyan, you were really just a bunch of people talking nonsense." Liu Yifei said angrily, "Not to mention that I also filmed The Golden Age before that."

"But I've indeed filmed more dramas than you, and male actors generally get paid more than female actors."

"But - I am, I am -" Liu Yifei didn't really care about money. After all, she had never lacked money since she was a child. It was just that they were both the protagonists, but the difference in pay was so big that made Liu Yifei feel a little uncomfortable.

But Li Boda had no way of telling Liu Yifei the real situation. After all, if Li Boda had starred in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" under normal circumstances, his salary would have been pushed down by Zhang Da Huzi, and it might have been only around 10,000 per episode.

After taking the final makeup photos, Li Boda returned to the crew of "Turn Left, Turn Right" to continue filming.

Although the actors of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" have been decided, the start time of filming has been postponed to after October by Zhang Da Hu Zi, so there is still some time in between.

Even though Li Boda had finished filming "Turn Left, Turn Right", it was not time for the filming of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" to start.

So Li Boda returned to the crew of "Turn Left, Turn Right", adjusted his state, and once again became the talented violinist Shen Shitao.

However, the crew of "Turn Left, Turn Right" looked at Li Boda with very strange eyes.

Previously, Li Boda seemed indifferent to the casting of The Return of the Condor Heroes. It seemed as if Li Boda had completely lost the opportunity to play the role of Yang Guo.

But who knows what happened, Li Boda inexplicably got the role of Yang Guo.

Even the crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" has officially announced it.

What about the gossip about Nie Yuan cutting bones and Nie Yuan revealing that Huang Xiaoming secretly gave two million to Zhang Da Huzi?
How come after going around in circles, the role of Yang Guo finally fell to Li Boda?
What is going on here?
Most of the crew members were very curious about the gossip.

But even though they are very curious, they also know what they can and cannot ask.

So after Li Boda returned to the crew, the crew just smiled and congratulated him.

"Brother Da, congratulations on getting the role of Yang Guo."

"Congratulations, Brother Da, for becoming the leading actor in Zhang Da Huzi's Jin Yong drama. Your career is about to soar to new heights."

"Congratulations, Brother Da, congratulations, Brother Da!"

In response to these people's congratulations, Li Boda smiled and nodded. After walking all the way, the smile on his face became a little stiff.

In the crew, Jia Jingwen, who had the best relationship with Li Boda, was extremely happy for Li Boda, as if it was she, Jia Jingwen, who had won the leading role in Jin Yong's drama.

Of course, Jia Jingwen had indeed played the leading role in a Jin Yong drama a long time ago, and she became an overnight sensation with the role of Zhao Min, making Jia Jingwen, who was originally only a minor celebrity, suddenly become an instant hit.

However, Li Boda's mentality was quite stable. At the beginning, the director was worried that Li Boda would find it difficult to get into the role in the next few days, but he didn't want to take on the role of Yang Guo. This did not disrupt Li Boda's state at all. When filming, there was not much difference from before, and most of the scenes were done in one take.

This made the director appreciate Li Boda even more.
