Chapter 156
If you decide to make a series from the beginning, obviously you have to make it clear to the lead actor.

In order not to be patted and patted, the protagonist puts pigeons.

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

Like the well-known "Friends", when several leading actors filmed the last two seasons, their salaries have reached as high as 100 million US dollars per episode.

When filming the first season, it was only around $[-] per episode.

The level of remuneration mainly depends on the performance.

The number of viewers of some series has been declining, and the leading actors only want their own dramas not to be cut. If the executives are upset, it will just give the decision-makers a reason to directly launch new dramas. How dare they make loud demands? Better to earn less than to be unemployed.

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

In the whole of Hollywood, there are twenty or thirty TV actors who earn more than ten million dollars a year, and this is not counting movie actors, TV hosts, etc.

After a little consideration, Ashton asked back:

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

"Don't tell Chris, that guy has no dramas to film recently, he's going crazy, and he's in debt for drinking in my store. If he finds out that you're still considering looking for him, he'll strangle me to death."

"Even if your new drama is only one-third as popular as "Friends", it means tens of millions of dollars in salary. What an accident..."

After listening to Ashton's rambling, Suri said with a smile:
"The last time I held a party, as long as the actors who supported me had the opportunity to get the role first, it's no problem to call Chris, he has a very interesting personality."

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

Suri recalled the role of Star Lord played by Chris, and felt that Ashton's proposal was very reasonable, and continued:
"Including Daddario, the heroine, we still need to match two or three regular actors to form a starring team. The rest of the supporting roles are consumables and will be eaten by zombies. I plan to make more popular new characters. Veteran actors, let the whole of Hollywood know that it is not good to fight against me, and only by choosing a company that is close to me can I get a chance."

Ashton asked with interest: "So if I take this role, as the leading actor, there should be a relationship between me and your girlfriend?"

Su Rui choked for a moment, and immediately said:
"Absolutely not. In the play, you have a wife and child, and you were raped by your best friend, and you have an extra illegitimate child. If it doesn't work, I'll ask the screenwriter to arrange for you to be caught by a zombie in the crotch. If you drop it, maybe you can also become a hot topic on Facebook to help promote the new drama."

Ashton tensed, subconsciously raised his legs, and told:

"...You are terrible, I was just joking. Ugly words are up front. It is 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 you fail, don't Blame me."

"Of course, screenwriters, directors, editing, and screening platforms are all important. In the early days, there were relatively few users of Netflix Entertainment. I have already made mental preparations in advance, and it will take a period of time to accumulate."

Su Rui didn't know the leading actor in the original version of "The Walking Dead". Now that he had the opportunity, how could he not give priority to taking care of his friends around him.

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

With him as a living sign, doing promotion for Netflix Entertainment, he can attract many well-known actors that Su Rui is not familiar with, and help them play some guest roles in the play.

There is even a chance to directly invite Ashton's wife to appear on the scene.

Although Demi Moore has passed away, she won the Oscar statuette anyway. In the 90s, she once became popular all over the world with her movie "Ghost Love", which was able to attract the attention of some middle-aged fans.

These resources, other unknown actors do not have.

If "The Walking Dead" makes Demi Moore popular again, it is estimated that a group of veteran superstars would rather lower their pay than rush to show their faces in front of young audiences.

In Suri's view.

Inviting celebrities to comeo is equivalent to spending money on advertising, and can use the fame of the actors to attract more attention for Netflix Entertainment.

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

Although the price of hiring a new actor as a regular starring role is relatively cheap, it will not help Su Rui or Netflix Entertainment much.

Saving costs is of course important, but in the case of being besieged and resisted by established giants, sophistication is more important. Therefore, this time in "The Walking Dead", Su Rui tends to find more familiar faces, preferably actors with their own resources.

……

During the chat with Ashton, people often came to say hello to Suri.

Although this means that he is very popular, but there are too many people who come to disturb him, and it is quite annoying.

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

His head was as big as a bucket when he was quarreled.

Therefore, Su Rui sent a message to Hoshino Yuko, and left the coffee shop with Ashton. Before the staff got off work, they came to the pre-arranged catwalk scene and tried singing "That Girl" to see the effect.

The black guy Jerry rushed over after receiving the news, applauded and praised, and asked:

"Ms. Shalin Turner, the CEO of our company, wants to invite you to dinner tonight. She invited Miss Youyou and your girlfriend Daddario. Do you have time later?"

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

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

However, since I have the opportunity to chat with the CEO of Victoria's Secret face to face, of course the future is more important. At worst, after dinner, I will go to drink with my friends to reminisce about the old days.

After he finished asking Yuko Hoshino, the other party agreed readily, and planned to go upstairs and return to the room to change into clothes that would show her figure better, obviously treating dinner as an interview.

Yuko Hoshino is obsessed with becoming a supermodel, but Suri doesn't really care about that.

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

For example, go to study acting, create a drama tailored for her, then find a way to buy the copyright, film the TV series version of "Western World", or "Gossip Girl", etc., the female lead is easy to become famous, and the income is comparable to that of a supermodel Compared, there will only be more and no less.

So whether Yuko Hoshino can successfully join Victoria's Secret this year, Suri doesn't care...
