A single sentence hit Teng Hua right in the gut.
Yeah, how much are you planning to pay these actors?
Currently, actor salaries in the country are all over the place, with each surpassing the last, especially the popular idols and young stars. Despite having no acting skills, their paychecks can be in the tens of millions. How much investment is enough for such extravagance?
In contrast, most of the money for Wang Fan's movie was spent on special effects, while the actors' salaries were greatly reduced.
Some were paid as little as tens of thousands, like Da Shu who got only 200,000, and quite a few were persuaded to join, especially Jingzi, who wasn't paid a cent, relying on Wang Fan's reputation, otherwise, he wouldn't be called a director who relies on favors.
Of course, now that they're making money, Wang Fan is preparing to compensate some old friends, but that's another story.
