"Shi Mu, how was the audition? Did it go well?"
Zheng Zaishuo, the manager, was waiting for him downstairs. When he saw him coming out, he asked anxiously.
Jin Shimu shook his head. His handsome face was no longer as calm as before in the office. Instead, it was filled with apology and disappointment.
He really liked this drama. Among the scripts that the company had chosen for him, the story setting of this drama was also the most outstanding. Of course, he was very lucky to be chosen, but since the hope was slim now, he could only try the other scripts.
"It's fine. The results haven't come out yet!”Zheng Zaishuo patted Jin Shimu's shoulder to comfort him and walked towards the nanny van with him.
...
The next day, Jin Shimu received the audition results. As expected, he was unfortunately not selected.
Because he was already mentally prepared, Jin Shimu accepted the result calmly.
However, a few days later, just as he was about to head to another production team for an audition, there was a sudden turn of events for the production team of " When You Were Sleeping."
The original male lead, Lee Jong-Suk, had an ankle injury due to a car accident. Although it was not a big deal, he could not move normally for a short period of time. His agency had no choice but to help him reject all his upcoming jobs, including the filming of " When You Were Sleeping."
This time, the entire production team was extremely anxious. In addition, the investors were also pressing him. Director Wu Zhonghuan could only urgently contact other back-ups.
Even so, the first candidate he found was not Kim Shimu, but Lee Dongxu, who was handsome and more similar in age to Ding Zaican in the play. Unfortunately, after Lee Dongxu's management company received the notice that he was not selected, they contacted another crew," Hotel King," for him. The two parties hit it off and quickly signed the contract.
As a result, the only male lead candidates left for 'When You're Sleeping' were Lee Seong-Ki and Kim Shi-Mu.
Lee Seung Ki's advantage lay in his high popularity and certain acting skills, but his height, appearance, and temperament were very different from the male lead, Jeong Jae Can. These were the three most fatal points.
Kim Si-moo's advantage lay in these three points. The only shortcoming was that he was a little young, but this could actually be made up for through makeup. If it didn't work, he could also adjust the age setting of Jeong Jae-chan appropriately, as long as it didn't affect the overall plot.
Therefore, Wu Zhonghuan weighed the pros and cons and decided to look for Loen.
Zheng Zaishuo immediately told Jin Shimu the news.
Even though Jin Shimu had always been calm, the moment he heard that he had been chosen as the male lead, his tone could not help but become a little anxious.
"Really? Brother Zai Shuo? I've really been chosen!"
"Of course it's true! Why would I lie to you!"
Zheng Zaishuo was really happy for Jin Shimu. The voice on the phone sounded more excited than him.
"By the way, come to the company in the afternoon. They will send someone to bring the contract over.”
"Ah... Inside!"
"Do you think it's very unreal? It's okay. I'll feel at ease after signing the contract!”Zheng Zaishuo comforted him, then suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously,""Shi Mu, guess how much we negotiated for you.”
"How much?" Jin Shimu asked in a daze.
"Tsk! I told you to guess first!" Zheng Zaishuo said unhappily.
"100 million per episode?"
"Hiss-?" Zheng Zai Shuo could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. This kid really dared to say it! Based on the market rate this year, 100 million per episode was at least the ceiling of the industry for actors like Hyun Bin and Yuan Bin. For a newcomer like him to want such a salary, it was simply a fool's dream!
The probability of winning 100 million yuan in the lottery was higher than the probability of him getting paid for this film!
However, Zheng Zaishuo also understood that Jin Shimu was just too lazy to guess, so he no longer kept him in suspense and told him the specific salary.
Eight million yuan for an episode (about 4.3 million yuan per episode). This was the final price that Loen and the production team had agreed on after an hour of negotiation. It was already considered a sky-high price for newcomers!
It was mainly because Lee Jong-Suk had temporarily withdrawn from the production team for some reason, so his share of the contract signing cost was empty. That was why the investors generously provided such a generous salary to Kim Si-mok.
It should be known that his female lead, Bae Sooji, who had successfully transformed into a MissA member in the past two years, was only paid 17 million yuan per episode in this TV series!
"How is it? Were you shocked by this number?”On the other end of the phone, Zheng Zaishuo asked with a smile.
Eight million for each episode, a total of 16 episodes, a total of 128 million. The company took another 50%, and Jin Shimu finally got 64 million. This was not a small amount! Any adult would be tempted, not to mention Jin Shimu, who had just graduated from high school.
However, Jin Shimu disappointed him again.
"Thank you, brother."
There was no emotion in his voice, let alone excitement! It was far from the moment when he heard that he had been chosen as the male lead.
"Is that all? Is that all you have to say?" Zheng Zaishuo asked in disbelief.
"Uh…" Jin Shimu pondered for a moment and said,"I'm not sure.""Thank you to the company too."
"Wow! This time, Zheng Zaishuo was really defeated. He couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh. Sometimes, he really wondered if Jin Shimu had encountered some major changes when he was young. Otherwise, why would he mature so early like a little old man?
When Jin Shimu heard the other party's frustrated tone, the corners of his lips curled up. Then, he suddenly thanked him solemnly again,"Thank you so much!”
Zheng Zaishuo was stunned on the phone, then he smiled and said,"Why are you being so polite with me? Isn't this what I do for a living? The better your treatment, the higher the company's share of the profits. In the future, when you enter the production team, do your best, understand!”
"Inside."
"Alright, let's not talk about it for now. I still have something on. Remember to come to the company in the afternoon to sign the contract.”
"Inner-"
