Chapter 3861: A Perfect Match (53)
Hua Jin said sullenly, “Do you know how much I get paid for an episode of this TV show?”
“…”
Liang Yin frowned. Was this guy trying to show off his wealth?
“How much for an episode?” she asked, playing along and pressing for that detail.
The actor replied, “600,000!”
“6…” Liang Yin choked on her own words. She spread out her hands and did some mental calculations.
80 episodes at 600,000 per episode, he would make a total of 48 million after the filming concluded!
So much!
“That’s a lot of money!”
The actor snorted. “You realize it’s a lot of money! Since it’s 600,000 per episode, that’s my job. I have to do it seriously. Even if something like this happens, I can’t drag the crew down.”
“Uh…” When Liang Yin heard this, her opinion of him suddenly shifted. “I didn’t realize you were so dedicated!”
His lips curved in triumph. “Of course!”
“But if I were paid 600,000 per episode, I’d be willing to be that dedicated. However, I’m acting for you and don’t get a penny of this 600,000.”
The actor’s lips twitched. Why hadn’t he thought of that?
“See? Isn’t that right?”
Liang Yin crossed her arms angrily. “Wouldn’t I be working for free for you, in this case?”
“I’ll give you half the pay.”
“Half?”
“I’ll give you 250,000 per episode after-tax. Deal?”
The actor continued, “As long as you put on a good performance, there will be a bonus payment for this show. You and I will split it fifty-fifty!”
Liang Yin was stunned. She did a quick calculation.
According to these terms Hua Jin had promised her, if she were to film an episode for 250,000 yuan, she would have at least… 20 million!
20 million?!
Liang Yin took another deep breath. Suddenly, she seemed to realize that something was wrong.
“Wait!”
“What’s the matter?”
“Let me ask you a question.”
“Uh huh?”
“Do you think… we’ll ever get back into our own bodies?”
It would have been better if she hadn’t asked. As soon as he asked the question, Hua Jin’s expression changed!
Without thinking, he said, “I’m sure we can!”
“How?” Liang Yin said in disappointment, “I wake up every day hoping that all of this is just a ridiculous dream, but every time I wake up, things are the same…”
Then she buried her face in her hands, looking worried and on the verge of tears. “Could it be that we’d never be able to get back into our own bodies?”
“You’re not allowed to say such depressing things. Even if you can’t get your body back for the rest of your life, I’m the one at a disadvantage.” The actor snorted. “You’ve become me, a big star, worth millions. I, on the other hand, have become you, poor like a pauper.”
“That’s true.”
Liang Yin’s eyes lit up. “Why didn’t I realize that?”
That’s right.
She was Hua Jin now. She was worth millions. Well then…
Seeing the light in her eyes, Hua Jin asked suspiciously, “What are you planning?”
“Ahem.” Liang Yin cleared her throat. “It just occurred to me. I’m a big star now and I’ve got money. Does it mean that I can now eat the sort of posh western food that I had never dreamed of being able to afford in the past?!”
Hua Jin felt as though he was about to spew blood! To think he’d thought she was going to make some groundbreaking statement. After becoming a celebrity with a net worth of tens of millions, all she could think about was posh western food!?
Surely she could do better than this!
