Recently, a piece about Jiang Jinfu’s contract dispute 6 years ago hit the top of the hot search list because the original “domestic violence” incident affected the broadcast of subsequent works and also caused Jiang Jinfu to be sued by many investors. , one of the male-led dramas had a salary as high as 69 million, which once again made the "sky-high salary" the focus of everyone's hot discussion!
I have to say that before the relevant restrictions were introduced, the salaries in the film and television industry were really crazy. Even Jiang Jinfu could only be called a potential niche at the time. Although he was highly praised by Tang Dynasty, he did not have many out-of-the-art works. All actors can get such a high salary for starring in an online drama. Think again about the sky-high prices that actors and stars with bigger status and popularity at that time could get!
Compared with Jiang Jinfu 6 years ago, and looking at the current salary level of actors, people really can't help but sigh: What is "good quality and low price" and reasonable!
If nothing else, in the original Tang Dynasty, Jiang Jinfu was Hu Ge's "little brother" at best. In the first male-led costume drama starring, Hu Ge played the second male role to protect him! Compared with Jiang Jinfu who could get a salary of 69 million for just one web drama, Hu Ge only got 26 million for his role as the male protagonist in Wong Kar-wai's "Flowers", and the rest of the leading actors basically earned around 10 million. The remuneration is still relatively large for production and investment!
In fact, under the new regulations, the remuneration received by actors has also dropped across the board! Compared with the past, a small supporting actor could easily get millions or even tens of millions in salary. Now that he is not the absolute protagonist in the drama, and his personal popularity and influence are not at the top, it is basically impossible to get this. Level pay!
Putting aside Hu Ge and "Flowers", let's take the salary of the starring role in last year's summer drama "Sauvignon Blanc" as an example. Yang Zi, who plays the heroine in the drama, has no problem in terms of popularity, nationality, or His performance in previous works and his ability to carry dramas are definitely at the level where he can get the highest salary.
But according to the exposed salary schedule, Yang Zi's salary for "Sauvignon Blanc" was only 20 million. The four male protagonists, Zhang Wanyi, Tan Jianci, Deng Wei and Wang Hongyi, only have 8 million, 5 million, 1.8 million and 1.2 million respectively. The second female lead, Dai Luwa, who performed well in the play and had enough roles, only received a salary of 800,000 yuan. This level of remuneration is based on the fact that "Sauvignon Blanc" is an S+ work with a high investment!
Except for big-investment, big-IP works like "Flowers" and "Sauvignon Blanc", the remaining starring actors in low-budget works will undoubtedly receive less remuneration. The consequence of such a more reasonable remuneration level is that the drama studio has more funds to invest in the production of the work, the exquisiteness of the costumes, and the special effects and other production levels. Compared with the various shoddy products in the past, we can undoubtedly see more high-quality works now.
Obviously, under the new regulations, when most of the investment in a film and television work is no longer actor remuneration, there will undoubtedly be more funds to invest in the production of the work, so as to improve the quality of each work. Become stronger. We can also see more excellent works such as "Flowers" and "Sauvignon Blanc". This may be a healthy and reasonable industry operation rule!
There is no doubt that the era when Jiang Jinfu could earn tens of millions of dollars for a male-led drama has passed! What do you think of this? Welcome to leave a private message and let’s communicate together!
