The famous Hong Kong director Wong Kar-Wai, who has been inactive for ten years and has not released a movie for ten consecutive years, finally brought the audience his first TV series "Flowers" in his directorial career at the end of 2023. As soon as this play came out, it immediately became a "king bomb". When
first aired, "Flowers" became a collective favorite among mainland audiences and created very high ratings. In addition, the score of this drama has also reached 8.0 points, making it a good drama recognized by most people.
On January 9 this year, the TV series "Flowers" came to an end. It was broadcast for less than half a month. During this period, it also attracted some criticism. For example, many people thought that many of the characters in the show All a bit noisy. But this did not affect its overall reputation. On the final day, the score of "Flowers" not only did not drop, but improved a lot, from the initial 8.0 points to 8.4 points.
Such a situation is rare among domestic TV dramas, which is enough to show that the drama "Flowers" has won the collective favor of the audience. The actors in the play also received their due remuneration through this play.
The cast of "Flowers" is very strong, and most of them are famous superstars that we are familiar with, so their respective salaries cannot be low.
Take Hu Ge, the lead actor in the drama, for example. His salary is as high as 26 million yuan, which is the highest salary among the actors in the drama, and it is 13 million yuan more than the second-placed Tang Yan.
In other words, Tang Yan's salary is less than half that of Hu Ge, but it is still very much. 13 million is almost equivalent to the single-day box office performance of a small-cost movie.
After Tang Yan, the third highest paid actor is Ma Yili, the leading actress. Her salary is 11 million yuan.
As the first heroine, Ma Yili’s salary is not as high as that of Tang Yan, which is somewhat incomprehensible. Perhaps it's because Ma Yili's influence is not as good as Tang Yan's, and her fame is also slightly lower.
After Ma Yili, the fourth highest-paid female lead is Xin Zhilei, with a salary of 9 million yuan. The salary of 9 million yuan seems a bit high for Xin Zhilei. After all, she seems to have never been the first starring role, and her reputation is not very high.
After that is the national first-class actor You Benchang, whose salary is 8 million yuan. I believe the audience will have no objection to the fact that You Benchang can get these remunerations, because he is the one with the best acting skills in the play and is a truly capable veteran actor.
Then Zheng Kai is RMB 7.9 million, Chen Long is RMB 6 million, and Dong Yong is RMB 5.8 million.
Calculated, the salary of these actors alone has exceeded 86 million yuan, nearly 100 million yuan. This is basically equivalent to the total investment of a movie, but it is said that "Flowers" was filmed for three years, and the current results are also very good, so these remunerations can be considered reasonable.
