Shining Star Korean Entertainment

After making up his mind, Lin Youmin contacted Quan Encan and told him his thoughts.

Although Quan Encan was surprised, even shocked, he did not refute or reject Lin Youmin's idea. His idea was similar to Lin Youmin's. When he first saw the two scripts, he was very excited.

, the ratings may not be Changhong, but the reputation will definitely not be low, which is exactly what Lin Youmin needs.

If the time can be staggered, it would not be a bad idea to shoot two TV series in a row. Kwon Eun-chan has an almost blind trust in Lin Yumin in terms of acting skills. The students that Kim Ji-heon personally trained in four years are no joke.

During the four years of college, only Quan Euncan knew how outrageous Kim Ji-heon was about Lin Youmin's acting skills. A look or a gesture would often require Kim Ji-heon's supervision.

I practiced it hundreds of times until the next day my eyes were red and swollen and my fingers were so trembling that I couldn't even hold the chopsticks steady.

How to master the theory of acting and at the same time maintain their spirituality in performance, both Kim Ji-heon and Lim Woo-min have worked hard.

Lim Woo-min is also almost pervertedly strict with himself. After four years of training, he just lost some acting experience. In terms of solid basic skills, in terms of the judgment of Kwon Eun-chan, the younger generation of Korean actors, no one can

Out to the right.

…

After a few days of preparation, Lim Woo-min and Kwon Eun-chan came to the MBC TV headquarters building in Yeouido and held a meeting and a simple audition with the creative staff of "The Time of the Wolf and the Dog".

During this meeting, Lin Youmin met three people who surprised him. Kim Jin-min, the director of "The Time of Wolves and Dogs", has only directed one TV series, the 2004 biographical historical drama "The Age of Heroes", and his qualifications and

The experience can only be regarded as average, not as good as that of "Dream Couple" Kim Sang-ho.

But the screenwriter and part-time writer of this TV series is undoubtedly a big shot that is shocking.

The screenwriters Han Ji-hoon and Liu Yong-jae may sound a little unfamiliar, but their works are definitely famous, such as "The Beast" and "Taegeuk Flag Flying". After "The Beast" was released at the beginning of last year, its reputation has been high, and "Taegeuk"

"Flag Flying" is a shocking presence in the history of Korean movies with box office sales exceeding 10 million!

During the conversation, Lin Youmin learned that the two film screenwriters had joined hands in the field of TV series. The script "The Time of the Wolf and the Dog" took them nearly two years to write, and it was revised more than ten times.

, no wonder this script is so exciting and outstanding.

As essential factors for an excellent Korean drama, music, styling and image processing are another major factor in the success of a TV drama. For this reason, the crew of "The Time of Wolves and Dogs" almost used the original film music at the Grand Bell Awards last year

The entire award-winning team moved here. As the resident producer, Huang Shangjun is even more famous in the Chungmuro ​​film circle. He has edited and created countless popular movies.

Lin Youmin finally understands why MBC dares to produce such a niche TV series whose ratings are often not proportional to word-of-mouth. With this creative team alone, it can be predicted that "The Time of the Wolf and the Dog" will definitely be the most popular in 2007.

One of the best-selling soundtracks! Just selling the soundtrack alone is enough to recoup the cost.

When Lin Youmin walked out of the conference room, he was still a little confused. His studio was on Zhongwu Road. Even with his eyes closed, he could tell how to get to the studios of Han Zhixun, Huang Shangjun and others, but he didn't expect

, now there is actually an opportunity for cooperation! And it’s a TV series.

Even the audition invitation for the second male lead, Kang Min-ki, was proposed by Han Ji-hoon personally to the director, which made Lim Woo-min a little flattered. As the second male lead in the drama, Lim Woo-min's role is no less than that of the first male lead, MBC

If you can afford to hire a top music production team, you won't be short of money.

Besides, just a few months ago, Lin Youmin collaborated with MBC on a popular TV series at a bargain price for newcomers. This second cooperation will not be stingy. Maybe the TV station likes to delay the salary of actors, and many media have repeatedly exposed it.

, but that’s only compared to unknown actors with small roles.

For a rising star like Lin Yumin who has obvious upward momentum, the MBC TV production department will not do such a stupid thing of delaying salary payment!

20 million won per episode!

Although it is not as good as Lee Jun-ki's salary of 30 million per episode, it is infinitely close to the threshold of 25 million for a first-line actor! This is because after Korean dramas swept Asia in the past few years, actors' salaries have increased collectively.

A few years ago, A-list male actors were only paid around 15 million for each episode of a TV series.

Even this price is a bit high for Lin Youmin. If it were the other two TV stations, more than 10 million per episode would be the limit, not to mention the 20 million salary, Lin Youmin can already proudly announce

, he is now also a member of the "Twenty Million Club"!

Compared with the 4 million salary for "Dream Couple", Lin Youmin's net worth has increased five times in less than half a year!

It is said that Bae Yong-joon, the star of MBC's special TV series "The Legend of the Four Gods", which has recently begun preparations for filming, is paid as much as 150 million won per episode, and some reports say it is 250 million won.

All in all, the salary is at least 100 million won.

This jaw-dropping figure can only make young actors like Lin Youmin lament how rich the production company is!

Of course, the Korean Wave is booming in Southeast Asia, but local ratings are not good. Selling overseas copyrights is enough to recoup costs, and the production company will not just watch it lose money.

For sixteen episodes of the TV series, Lim Woo-min can get a total salary of 320 million won. After deducting taxes and Kwon Eun-chan's commission, Lim Woo-min can get at least more than 150 million won!

No wonder actors are always said to make more money than idols and singers. Countless idols always want to squeeze their way into the entertainment industry. For a brokerage company, a salary of 300 million yuan is a huge difference compared to the tens of billions in income from albums and concerts.

, but for the artists themselves, it is already a huge number!

Taking a deep breath, Lin Youmin calmed down his mood. He didn't care much about the salary. He could make it back by running a few fashion shows. In terms of money-making ability, actors who were far more popular than him also didn't care.

It may not necessarily be comparable to him, this is the benefit that his appearance and temperament, as well as his status in the fashion industry bring to him. To do his best in every TV series is what he wants.

Quan Euncan is still discussing the schedule and filming arrangements. Although he doesn't know whether the audition for "The War of Money" will be successful, let alone whether he can convince the director, he still needs to communicate and communicate in advance.

After all, most of the TV station's broadcast plans are made in advance. As a leading actor, the later he joins the crew, the more compact the auditions will be.

Thinking about it, Lin Youmin put his hands in the pockets of his coat and walked aimlessly...

(PS: The salary of Korean actors is not very fixed and fluctuates greatly, so there is no need to take it too seriously. It is generally this price. If you take into account the market and economic issues of the Korean environment, it will be much more complicated. At least after 2009,

It’s normal for big-name celebrities to be paid more than 40 to 50 million per episode. I have to say, Bae Yong Joon is a god!)
