This top celebrity got drunk and acted crazy, and everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry bur

Chapter 60: A 30 Million Yuan Salary! Treatment Rivals that of a Best Actor!! [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Although I've never eaten pork, I've seen a lot in the Chinese entertainment industry over the years. You can tell whether a show will be a hit just by looking at the quality of the script.

After reading through the meticulously detailed and substantial script of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," Haozi was overjoyed. With such a novel subject matter and well-designed content, he was confident that as long as they didn't cast some talentless young idols, it would definitely be a hit!

Haozi was so excited that he trembled all over!

He's been honing his skills for so many years, just waiting for this opportunity to soar to new heights.
"How's this script?" Gangzi had already read the script. To be honest, even as a layman, he thought it would be a box office hit just by looking at the setting and content. But after learning that the script was Huka's original work, he was once again amazed and truly shocked by Huka's talent.

He's incredibly talented at songwriting, and he's equally adept at screenwriting!
On top of all that, she also possesses a stunning face that could captivate countless young women. Even looking back at the past two decades of development in the Chinese entertainment industry, it's impossible to find an example that can rival her.

They insist on attacking in the wrong direction...

The thought of this caused him immense pain. He desperately wanted to risk his life to wake up the misguided Huka. Over the past few days, he had tried to stop him and offered various suggestions, but the other party was determined to go down the dark path, and he was helpless.

"The content is of very high quality!"

"I have never seen such a well-developed script before. The character relationships, core elements, and selling points of this episode are all clearly written. The person who wrote this script is simply a genius in the industry. He even left the ending open-ended, indicating that he had planned to make a sequel from the very beginning!"

"This script was definitely written by a top screenwriter in the drama industry, and through these embellishments and annotations, it is not hard to see that it is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of many industry talents!"

"Mr. Wang, I, Lu Hao, am deeply grateful for entrusting such an important project to you. I have no way to repay you... I truly..."

Lu Hao was initially full of excitement and full of praise, but as he spoke, his voice suddenly choked up.

Wang Gang's eyes widened in surprise!
If you knew that this script was written by that unknown guy who almost killed you before, you probably would immediately choke back your words, right?
He hesitated, but didn't say anything. He silently took out a pre-prepared contract, turned to the last page, and said, "If there are no problems, just sign it."

The contract was signed by 'Mingri Star', but Gangzi was too excited and his mind was full of desire to become famous. With the boss right in front of him, he signed his name and pressed his fingerprint on it without thinking.

Even as he left the office, Haozi, clutching a contract, couldn't hide his excitement: "I'm going to be rich! I'm finally going to be rich! In the Chinese entertainment industry, your Haozi has finally made it big!!"

Listen to the exhilarating sounds coming from the corridor.

Gangzi in the office was speechless. If this kid had actually looked at the contract, he probably wouldn't be laughing right now.

"No matter what, I have to go to the set to check it out once filming starts!"

……

After that, while busy with the music variety show, Lü Ming was also working with Xiao Ya to prepare the cast.

Although Xiaoya didn't understand why her idol was so obsessed with making films, too many unbelievable things had happened to Lü Ming recently, so she didn't have time to dwell on it.

Anyway, Ming-ge has always been decisive and impulsive in his decisions, and nothing can sway him. Even if no one believes in Lü Ming, she, who has been with Lü Ming through the hardships since the very beginning, is his strongest support. Since Ming-ge is so confident, she naturally does her job to the best of her ability, and she is so busy that she even has to squeeze out time to sleep every day.

On the stage of "Who is the King of Singers", Lü Ming completely let loose.

Since Chu Sheng keeps saying he wants to blacklist him, he'll just go for it!

After that, the first thing he would do when he came on stage was to shout and urge the audience to watch his next episode of Running Man on iQiyi. At the very least, during the mentor commentary segment, he would bluntly state that the CEO of Tencent wanted to blacklist him.

Chu Sheng was extremely anxious watching from behind the screen. Unfortunately, the live broadcast had no delay, and even though the production team kept cutting shots and muting the sound, they couldn't stop the flop from suddenly finding an opportunity to make a scene.

As the president, Chu Sheng had considered kicking Lü Ming out, but now that the unknown actor was too popular on Tencent, it was easy to invite him in but difficult to send him away.

To put it bluntly, this music variety show is currently surviving solely on the popularity of a relatively unknown contestant. With that contestant about to make it to the finals and win the championship, if they dare to do something like this at this crucial moment, viewers whose attention is entirely focused on the contestant will definitely leave iQiyi without hesitation.

After all, the program was promoted with the slogan of fairness, impartiality and no shady dealings from the very beginning. If it dares to openly target others, Boomerang could even cause a crisis of trust among hundreds of millions of users on the entire platform!
Most importantly, because of Lü Ming's repeated self-disclosures these days, even within the company, there have been many voices calling for his impeachment.

As for 'reasonably' eliminating mediocre talent?

After Huka, every cover song he performed in each episode, thanks to his solid singing skills and the energetic stage presence, would make the audience boil over, and his votes from netizens were undeniably far ahead!
If your opponent in the knockout stage can get a million votes, that's already amazing. But a nobody can easily get seven or eight million votes!
If they deliberately modify the backend data at this critical juncture, not to mention the reaction of netizens, even the audience members who have already become fans of the washed-up celebrities will shout that it's a conspiracy, and the consequences will be even more terrible!
This won't work, and that won't work either.

The president of Tencent Video is now facing both internal and external troubles, and is so anxious that he has to take sleeping pills to fall asleep every night.

6 month 20 day.

The semi-finals of "Who is the King of Singers" have begun!

Lu Ming's opponent is a well-known veteran singer in the Chinese music scene. However, due to the lack of good works in recent years, his status has plummeted. His last hit original song dates back seven years. If you don't mention his representative work that was a huge hit back then, people can't even remember the name of this veteran singer.

Before the show started, he was the most popular favorite to win the championship, but after Lü Ming appeared, these voices completely disappeared.

Finally, after the two finished singing their prepared songs, in the online voting segment, Lü Ming won tens of millions of votes with his rendition of "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies," which ignited everyone's passion!
During the mentors' comments, although Yang and Hua, who were terrified by Lü Ming, were extremely unwilling, they dared not go against the public in the face of such terrifying online support and humiliatingly expressed their approval.

Lü Ming didn't care about the three mentors at all and still advanced to the finals. This music variety show only has one last battle left. With such high attention, he successfully advanced to the semi-finals and was guaranteed to win the runner-up prize. The production team should have given the contestant some time to give a speech.

Thus, Lü Ming used the word "beast" to attack him at every turn, and the word "beast" to coerce him at every turn. His heartfelt outpouring of emotion was so moving that it brought tears to the eyes of the onlookers and resonated with the listeners.

In just two minutes, he uttered dozens of curses, calling him a beast...

"Damn it!!!" In the CEO's office at Tencent, Chu Sheng's face was contorted with rage, his eyes red with anger: "This idiot Sima is still playing the victim here. Is he trying to ruin me? Who does he think he is? I've worked my whole life at Tencent to get to this position. I even have connections on the board of directors at headquarters. Do you think I could have gotten this position without some connections?"

"No one can bring me down, no one!!"

Enraged, Chu Sheng saw that the unknown actor was still listing his crimes on camera. He immediately dialed the program director's number and yelled, "You piece of trash, can't you see he's attacking me? Why didn't you mute him? Why didn't you cut the shot? Why did you let him do this?!"

"Boss... we're just following orders..." the director said cautiously.

Chu Sheng: "???"

"I'm your boss, who the hell are you working for?!" he shouted angrily.

director:"……"

Hearing the silence on the other end of the phone, Chu Sheng, who had been blinded by anger, gradually regained his senses. As if he had thought of some unbelievable possibility, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and a chill ran down his spine.

"You...you...whose orders are you on?!" Chu Sheng's voice trembled. "Speak! Speak up!"

"Who entrusted you with this important task? Who gave you a raise? Who promoted you? Have you forgotten all of that? If it weren't for me, you'd still be a worthless piece of trash that nobody cares about!"

"Say something!!"

Chu Sheng seemed to have lost his mind, repeatedly questioning him.

director:"……"

"Boss, thank you so much for promoting me. I also have a piece of advice for you: if things haven't reached the point of no return, you should go and apologize to that bum..."

After I finished speaking, I heard a 'knock knock knock' sound from the other end of the phone.

Chu Sheng stood frozen in his office, his head buzzing: "No, it can't be! I'm the president, I'm the CEO! All these years at Tencent, I've spent so much money and supported so many people, all for this day!"

"Absolutely not! He's a nobody. So what if he has some online following? It's all just haters. How could he possibly take me down?!"

Chu Sheng hurriedly picked up a cigarette from the table, took one out, and put it to his lips. But even this simple action was shaky; his arm trembled uncontrollably. He grabbed the lighter and pressed the button, but due to the violent shaking, the lighter fell onto the table, igniting the unapproved documents. He quickly grabbed a silver wine jug from the side and violently poured the liquid inside onto the table…

boom! !

The liquor was ignited, and the fire, which had not yet spread, suddenly burned even more fiercely.

Completely flustered, Chu Sheng didn't have time to think. He hurriedly grabbed the other file folders and slammed them on the table. The secretary waiting outside seemed to hear the commotion and quickly pushed the door open. The sound of the door opening startled the already tense Chu Sheng, causing him to jump half a meter in the air and turn around in a panic.
"Who! I have connections! I have connections on the board of directors! You can't touch me!!"

"Mr. Chu... Mr. Chu?" The secretary was taken aback.

Although she didn't understand why President Chu, who was always aloof, acted like a thief caught stealing, she still rushed outside when she saw the raging fire on her desk. She grabbed a fire extinguisher from the fire hydrant in the corridor and ran back in to spray it thoroughly.

After the fire was extinguished, Chu Sheng, who was dressed in a suit and tie, was covered in white ash. Coupled with his pale face and listless appearance, he looked quite disheveled.

"Mr. Chu, are you alright?"

"go out!!"

The secretary hurried away, so hastily that she didn't even have time to close the door to the president's office.

Chu Sheng was genuinely terrified. The moment his secretary walked in, he thought it was a death sentence from above. After experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions, Chu Sheng no longer cared about his prestigious position. He immediately dialed the number on his phone: "Answer it, answer it quickly, answer it now!!"

It took a while before the call was answered.

"Hey, are you finally going to blacklist me? I'm so scared!" Lu Ming teased casually on the other end of the phone.

To his surprise, Chu Sheng's voice trembled slightly: "Hey, you bum, listen to me, no... Lü Ming... Brother Ming!"

“It was my fault. I shouldn’t have exploited you, I shouldn’t have threatened you. What compensation do you want? Just tell me, and I’ll do whatever I can! You have to clear my name. I’ve worked hard all my life to get to this position. I can’t let this go. You have to help me. If I’m gone… you won’t live either… I’ll haunt you even as a ghost!”

"There were too many people outside before, I was wrong, I was wrong, I'm begging you on my knees!"

Lü Ming: "???"

He carefully examined the number, confirmed there was a call record, and the voice was indeed the same as the arrogant guy from a while ago. He was immediately at a loss.

"Are your left and right brains fighting each other?" Lu Ming muttered in confusion.

Just then, a strange man's voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Chu Sheng, stop wasting your time. This is the latest transfer order from headquarters. I will be taking over your work. Oh, and by the way, this is the joint statement from the board of directors dismissing you. Because of your personal reasons, you have caused great damage to the company's image. The company reserves the right to pursue legal action against you and gives you 24 hours to issue an apology statement to the outside world to restore the group's reputation."

"No...it's impossible, this can't be! I have connections on the board, he won't ignore this. This is fake, it must be fake!"

"Your backer's name is at the very top; he was the first to sign your dismissal report. Make sure you see it clearly."

Chu Sheng: "..."

After a brief silence, Chu Sheng, as if struck by the greatest shock imaginable, let out a hysterical roar: "Fuck you!!!"

The next second, Lü Ming heard a 'hiccup' sound, and then there was no more sound from the other end of the phone.

"Is it really that crazy?" Lü Ming asked, sounding surprised.

Just then, rustling footsteps came from across the street. The man coldly ordered, "Carry him to the infirmary, and close the door behind you. Thank you."

"Is this Lü Ming? I'm Hu Tao, the new CEO of Tencent Video. I hope we can cooperate more in the future." At this moment, the phone seemed to be picked up from the ground, and a friendly male voice came from the other end.

"Let's skip the collaboration. I don't really like getting involved in Tencent's projects!" Lü Ming smiled.

"I can offer you 3000 million yuan per season for the Extreme Challenge project. Are you interested?" Hu Tao suddenly said, surprising everyone.

Lu Ming was taken aback for a moment, then changed his tone: "President Hu, why are we talking like family? You're kind to me, and I'm loyal to you. Friends don't talk about money!"

"Then what should we talk about?" Hu Tao was stunned.

Who understands his feelings?

Just a day ago, he was merely a general manager in the marketing department of Tencent. Below him were countless talented individuals and people with complex and intertwined backgrounds vying for his position. Above him was the suffocating factional infighting. In such a stifling situation, he lived in constant fear, terrified that he would be sacrificed for choosing the wrong side or replaced for failing to create value.

Suddenly, a letter of appointment landed on his head. The night before, he was lamenting that his life, which was like walking on thin ice, was destined to never reach the other side. But when he woke up, he found that he had inexplicably walked the path that many people take a lifetime to complete!

The CEO of Tencent's most influential video platform!
He was inexplicably parachuted into a position that countless senior executives at headquarters dreamed of, and inexplicably went from a state of constant anxiety to becoming the BOSS of a subsidiary. When he learned that it was all because of a nobody, Hu Tao exclaimed that this was no nobody at all, it was practically a miracle from his ancestors!

Overjoyed, he didn't hesitate and immediately used his maximum authority to reciprocate with a gift.

But to his utter surprise, Huka completely ignored such a generous gift.
Just as he was racking his brains trying to figure it out, Lü Ming suddenly said in a profound and enigmatic way, "Let's talk about fate!"

“Yes, it’s truly an incredible stroke of luck that this happened to me!” Hu Tao exclaimed repeatedly.

Lü Ming: "Thirty million yuan!"

“…6!” Hu Tao’s smile froze.

Good heavens, so you were referring to this "yuan"?

After hanging up the phone, Lü Ming and Hu Tao added each other as friends, leaving the drafting of the contract to the other party. He then returned to the hotel with a good mood.

Suddenly, they received a 30 million yuan announcement fee. Even after deducting company taxes, they would still receive 22.5 million yuan!

Lu Ming, who had previously been worried about insufficient funds, was immediately relieved. As for his sudden change of mind and accepting the invitation to "Go Fighting!"

Just kidding, they asked for a sky-high price of 30 million right off the bat!
What kind of treatment is this appearance fee? Even Huang Bo, who has the halo of an award-winning actor, probably wouldn't earn much more than this number. He has a grudge against Chu Sheng, but it's not like he has a huge grudge against Tencent. Wouldn't it be stupid for him not to make money?
If he accumulates more experience and resources, perhaps after the revenue from "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" is released, his next step will be to directly launch the "Detective Chinatown" project. If it rakes in two or three billion yuan at the box office, wouldn't that be phenomenal?!
Just thinking about it fills him with boundless hope for the future!
The final of "Who is the King of Singers" will begin in a week. Before that, the entire cast of "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer" has been signed. Lu Ming has set the start date for filming two days later so that he can make full preparations and head to Hengdian for filming.

Dilraba ultimately chose the role of Yue Qiluo, claiming that she wanted to experience being a queen. Lü Ming, who was busy with two variety shows at the same time, decided to take on the role of Zhang Xianzong because of time constraints.

Although personally handling the lead role could greatly speed up the filming process thanks to his current skills that are on par with top-tier actors, the most popular aspect of this drama is the pairing of Yue Qiluo and Zhang Xianzong, so he doesn't need to put in the effort for no reward. On the other hand, it's also because he invited Han Dongjun to play the male lead.

This young man has only been out of school for less than two years since graduating from the Shanghai Theatre Academy. He doesn't have any representative works yet, and his film offers are scarce. However, he is a top student in the acting department, and his acting skills are highly recognized even by his school's teachers. He is a case of unfulfilled talent.

Although Han Dongjun was aware of his reputation for being an eyesore, he immediately came running when he heard that Lü Ming had invested 40 million yuan in a big production and invited him to be the male lead.

As for the salary?

Why would I need a salary when I can play the male lead? After reading the script, Han Dongjun was afraid of being abandoned, so he hurriedly signed the contract of servitude.

Having once been a worker exploited by capital himself, and after verifying that Han Dongjun's acting skills were indeed up to par, he paid him 10,000 yuan per episode for the 21 episodes, which amounted to 210,000 yuan for a month of filming.

Han Dongjun did all the dirty and hard work, and the total of 21 yuan wasn't even enough for him to recite a couple of lines from a liquor advertisement on a music variety show...

Given all this, what more could you want?
