Start by trimming cow hooves

If you decide to make a series from the beginning, you obviously need to make it clear to the lead actor.

In order to avoid being let off by the protagonist while taking pictures.

This kind of series is a good thing for actors. It is equivalent to having a long-term meal ticket. Basically, every one or two seasons, the salary will increase accordingly.

For example, in the familiar "Friends", by the time the final two seasons were filmed, each of the leading actors' salaries had reached as high as one million US dollars per episode.

When filming the first season, each episode only cost about $20,000.

The level of salary depends mainly on performance.

The viewing numbers of some series have been declining, and the leading actors only hope that their dramas will not be axed. If the executives are unhappy, it will just give the decision-makers a reason to directly launch new dramas. How can they dare to make loud demands? It's better to make less than to be unemployed.

The outside world always thinks that it is very easy for actors to make money. In fact... it is indeed very easy. Some actors can still get a fixed salary for showing their face in an episode of a TV series with less than two pages of lines.

Throughout Hollywood, there are twenty or thirty TV actors who earn more than ten million US dollars a year. This does not include movie actors, TV hosts, etc.

After Ashton thought about it for a moment, he asked:

"Is there such a good thing as directly planning to make a series?"

"You must not tell Chris that that guy has no drama to film recently and is going crazy from poverty. He even owes money for drinking in my store. If he finds out that you are still considering looking for him, he will strangle me to death."

"Even if your new drama is only one-third as popular as "Friends", it still means tens of millions of dollars in salary income. I would be crazy to refuse to star in it. Unless there is force majeure, such as my brain problems, or I have suffered What an accident..."

After listening to Ashton's ramble, Suri smiled and said:

"Last time I held a party, any actor who supported me would have a chance to get a role first. It's no problem to call Chris. He has a very interesting personality."

Ashton nodded and smiled: "Yeah, but let him restrain himself, so as not to turn the doomsday drama into a comedy."

Suri recalled Chris's role as Star-Lord and felt that Ashton's proposal made sense and continued:

"Including Daddario, the heroine, we need to match two or three more regular actors to form a starring team. The remaining supporting characters are consumables and will be eaten by the zombies. I am going to make some new ones popular. Veteran actors, let the whole of Hollywood know that there is no benefit in going against me, only by choosing a company that is close to me can you get opportunities."

Ashton asked with interest: "So if I take this role, as the male protagonist, there should be an emotional line between me and your girlfriend, right?"

Su Rui choked for a moment and said immediately:

"Absolutely not. In the show, you have a wife and children, and you are cheated on by your best friend, giving birth to an illegitimate child. If it doesn't work, I will ask the screenwriter to arrange a plot where you are grabbed by the zombies by the crotch, and you have no choice but to cut off your crotch. If you want to drop it, maybe you can also become a trending topic on Facebook to help promote the new drama."

Ashton tensed up, subconsciously crossed his legs and told:

"...You're too scary. I'm just joking. Let's talk about the ugly thing before. It's best not to involve interests between friends. I can only say that if I take this role, I will try my best to play it. If it fails, don't do it. Blame me."

"Of course, screenwriting, directing, editing, and screening platforms are all important. In the early days, Netflix Entertainment had relatively few users. I have been mentally prepared in advance and it will take some time to accumulate."

Suri didn't know the male lead actor in the original version of "The Walking Dead". Now that he had the opportunity, how could he not take care of his friends first?

Ashton's popularity in Hollywood can be said to be quite good.

With him as a living brand, he can promote Netflix Entertainment and attract many well-known actors that Suri is not familiar with to help with guest roles in the series.

There is even a chance to directly invite Ashton’s wife to appear on the show.

Although Demi Moore has faded, she has finally won an Oscar. In the 1990s, she became famous all over the world with the movie "The Last Days" and was able to attract the attention of some middle-aged fans.

These resources are not available to other unknown actors.

If "The Walking Dead" makes Demi Moore famous again, it is estimated that a group of established superstars would rather cut their own salary and rush to show their faces in front of young audiences.

In Suri's opinion.

Inviting celebrities to guest star is equivalent to spending money on advertising. It can use the fame of the actors to attract more attention to Netflix Entertainment.

At the same time, you can also use the role as a resource to make a group of capable friends and strive to gain a foothold in Hollywood as soon as possible.

Although the price of hiring new actors as regular protagonists is relatively cheap, it will not be of much help to either Suri or Netflix Entertainment.

Saving costs is important, but when being besieged and resisted by established giants, sophistication is even more important. Therefore, this time for "The Walking Dead", Suri prefers to find more familiar faces, preferably actors with their own resources.

…

While chatting with Ashton, people often came to say hello to Suri.

Although this means that he is very popular, it is also quite annoying when there are so many people disturbing him.

There are also children of a few years old who are attracted by the big orange. They come asking questions and yell at their parents, asking to buy a cat. They are probably spoiled rich children.

His head was as big as a fight due to the noise.

Therefore, Suri sent a message to Hoshino Yuko, and left the cafe with Ashton. Before the staff got off work, they came to the catwalk stage that had been arranged in advance to try out a song of "That Girl" Look at the effect.

The black boy Jarry rushed over after receiving the news. While applauding and praising him, he asked:

"Our company's CEO, Ms. Charlene Turner, would like to invite you to dinner tonight. She has invited Miss Youyou and your girlfriend Daddario. Are you available later?"

After listening to this, Su Rui reached for his phone and said, "I have time myself. I need to ask clearly before I can give you an answer. Please wait a moment."

Previously, Hoshino Yuko said that she would have dinner with friends tonight.

However, since I have the opportunity to chat with the CEO of Victoria's Secret in person, of course, the future is more important. At the worst, after dinner, I go to have a drink with my friends and reminisce about the past.

After he finished asking Hoshino Yuko, the other party agreed readily and planned to go upstairs to the room and change into clothes that showed off her figure. It was obvious that he was treating dinner as an interview.

Hoshino Yuko is thinking about becoming a super model, but Suri actually doesn't care about it.

If you really want to make her famous, there are too many ways.

For example, study acting, create a drama tailor-made for her, then find a way to buy the copyright, and film a TV series version of "Westworld" or "Gossip Girl", etc. It is easy for female protagonists to become famous, and their income is similar to that of a supermodel. Than, it will only be more, not less.

So it doesn’t matter to Suri whether Yuko Hoshino successfully joins Victoria’s Secret this year...
