In the entertainment industry, in terms of average income, film actors are far ahead, followed by film directors, film producers, and screenwriters; followed by TV actors, TV directors, and TV producers; and then the music industry. Relevant practitioners, including singers, producers, etc., and then TV screenwriters, photographers, lighting engineers, etc.

Overall, movies are the spire of the pyramid, followed by TV, music, models, and hosts. This is not only reflected in income, but also in the industry status of employees. This is also the fundamental reason why singers, models, and TV actors are eager to enter the film industry - the ultimate battlefield of Vanity Fair.

In the TV industry, big-name actors can earn as much as 150,000 to 300,000 per episode, experienced backbone actors can earn between 70,000 and 100,000, and general newcomers earn a starting salary of 10,000 to 20,000. capped. However, what is special about the TV industry is that the salary of actors will gradually increase with the increase of seasons, and it is not uncommon for the leading actors of long-lived popular dramas to get a salary of one million episodes.

In a situation like Renly's, the salary of 20,000 yuan per episode can be considered a top salary. As far as Roy knows, Renly's salary is the third highest in the entire "Pacific War" crew, second only to the other two leading actors James. - james-badge-dale and jon-seda - both veteran actors who have been in Hollywood for over a decade There it is.

When he just learned the result, Roy was quite surprised. At this time, seeing Ren Li's calmness and calmness, he made a fuss, which made Roy smile.

Thinking about it carefully, among the three core protagonists, the "Pacific War" crew chose two experienced actors, and only Renly was a pink and tender newcomer. This ability alone is enough to make people look at him. In this way, Renly is definitely not as simple as it seems.

As the official agent of the Actors Guild of America, he has met countless newcomers and actors, sometimes meeting thirty newcomers a day and taking charge of their work. He doesn't have enough time to get to know each of them, so he can only try his best to complete his own. Work. But now, he has a little interest in the young man in front of him.

However, interest is just interest. In the huge machine of the film industry, the most indispensable thing is genius, and there are special cases. But there are very few who can break through a world. In the blink of an eye, Roy was back to normal and back to business again.

"In addition to the remuneration, you also need to sign a non-disclosure agreement, refusing to give anyone any form of content related to the episode before the official broadcast." Roy's speech was not fast, but the amount of information was huge, "In addition There are also some basic terms, you can read them in detail when you go back, after the TV series starts, if the TV station has promotional activities, you need to cooperate unconditionally, at least during the broadcast of the series.”

As a rookie, Renly had almost no bargaining capital, and all terms were available for reference. At this point, hbo shows the atmosphere of their first wireless station, and all the information in the standard contract is clear at a glance.

"Before the official signing, you can call me if you have any questions. My working hours are from nine to six. During the rest of the time, don't call my number unless you are dying." Roy explained all the situation resolutely. , according to habit, his work is temporarily to a paragraph.

Packing his things, he still needs to rush to Warner Bros. today, where there is another series about to audition, and he is the official dispatched agent - at the public audition site of any series and movie, All must have a union broker, as was yesterday's "War in the Pacific."

But looking at Renly who was looking through the contract, Roy's actions couldn't help but pause for a moment, while thinking, he decided to give some good words, "A big company like hbo has a fixed process, after you sign the contract , the first prepayment will be credited to your account, and then the second payment will be made after the filming of the episode is over, and the final payment will be fully credited after the episode ends. My advice to you is to make good use of your The first advance payment, don't splurge."

Renly looked up from the contract and looked at Roy with a hint of inquiry, "What do you mean?"

Roy shrugged and said rightfully, "Young actors are always like this, first pot of gold, ecstatic, splurge, and enjoy their youth." Then he raised his hands and made a double-quote gesture, "yolo ", which is the abbreviation of "you-only-live-once", was originally intended to encourage people not to be afraid of taking risks, because there is only one life, enjoy life to the fullest, but after being over-interpreted, it is ironic, Gradually, some people began to use such slogans to cover their irresponsibility and wanton behavior.

Roy's expression of rolling his eyes couldn't be more vivid, and Ren Li couldn't help laughing, "Don't laugh. I'm serious." Roy's tone still didn't change much. I can't hear his "seriousness", "Many newcomers either buy a luxury car on impulse and show it off after they get the advance payment, or they dedicate it all to drug/traffickers and enjoy it to the fullest. The most common phenomenon It's just for parties, inviting a bunch of friends to splurge. But I tell you, it's the dumbest thing to do."

This is Roy's friendly reminder, "If you want to continue on the path of being an actor, or, if you want to get a place in Hollywood, you need to be smart."

This

Once, Renly felt Roy's friendliness and seriousness. Generally speaking, only professional managers would advise their entertainers with such opinions. Official public managers like Roy only need to ensure that those rookie actors will not be exploited in the law, which is enough.

Renly knew because of Chris's presence.

In the stage of rookie actors, self-investment is very important. Even if you don’t have to exercise muscles like Chris, maintaining your body line is still a basic job; the image project created by clothing is a bottomless pit, which must be persisted for years, especially This is even more important in the era of social networks where street photography is common; when the level reaches a certain level, even details such as the car you go out, the shoes for jogging will become part of your personal image investment, and so on.

Hollywood, a glamorous Vanity Fair, has a lot of income behind it, but it is a water-like expenditure, and a set of evening dress tens of thousands of dollars is just the tip of the iceberg.

Chris is now under the supervision of a broker, strictly managing his income. Unexpectedly, Roy actually gave personal advice.

Renly looked at Roy and said sincerely, "Thank you."

Roy could feel the sincerity in Renly's words, and it seemed that he really listened to his words, which was really rare among rookie actors. Recall that Renly is about to star in "War in the Pacific" co-created by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, and he has also received the highest salary for a new actor. Perhaps, this young man really hopes to become Another top star.

But this intuitive feeling just flashed by, and then Roy laughed self-deprecatingly. There are not a thousand or eight hundred new actors emerging in Hollywood every day. Where do so many top superstars come from, he really thinks too much today. .

Nodding, Roy responded, "Apart from that, do you have any questions?"

"Yes." Renly nodded. "The filming schedule." That's all that matters, isn't it?

"Yes." Roy then remembered, "On Monday, you come over to get the script; on Friday, all the actors in the crew will meet in advance; you will explain the specific matters after that in detail at that meeting. Friday The time and place of the meeting, I'll let you know when you come on Monday."

"Okay." Renly nodded simply, then stood up, "I'm done here, so I won't disturb your work."

Roy was not polite either, he quickly packed up his briefcase, and left the office with Renly. Roy left the union building directly, while Renly came to the lobby, looking for Chris.

It was easy for Renly to see Chris, the star-studded moon, sitting behind a desk, surrounded by four people, three women and a man, Chris was talking loudly, while the others were all smiles, atmosphere Not so lively.

Just as Renly was thinking about whether he should interrupt their happy atmosphere, Chris saw Renly first and raised his right hand high, "Hey, man." Renly also waved his hand and left. After the past, "how are things going?" Chris asked impatiently.

Renly nodded politely to the four people next to him, "It's over, everything went well." It was concise and clear, without any further words, "I'm going to the library now to check the materials, how about you?"

Chris originally wanted to ask about the specific situation, such as what role Renly played, what the crew was like, and what Renly's salary was, but Renly didn't give him a chance. "Library?" Chris's interest suddenly dropped, and he stretched a lot, "I'll go to the gym later, or forget it. Meet at home at night?"

Renly made an "ok" gesture, nodded to the four of them again and said hello, "Good day." Then he turned and walked away, and soon there was a group of people laughing again behind him. The sound gradually became weaker and weaker with the footsteps, and finally disappeared completely.

The salary income for the role of "War in the Pacific", a total of 140,000 US dollars, is only a drop of water in Hollywood, but this is Renly's first income as an actor, which also means that starting today, Lanly Li's actor status has finally officially set sail!
