Chapter 184 We Take Care of Each Other and Also Magnify Each Other's Light

After returning to Courtyard No. 5, the lights in the living room were already on.

"You came back either early or late. Have you eaten?" Zeng Li said after looking at the time.

"I've eaten. There's no class today." Yang Lingyue replied.

"What does this mean?" Zeng Li asked as she picked up the certificate from the coffee table.

"How is it? Is your boyfriend great?" Yang Lingyue said proudly.

"Come here." Zeng Li smiled and patted the sofa.

"Didn't we make that promotional video before? They were inspired and solved some cases. The industry is special and they can only commend me in this way." Yang Lingyue said lightly.

"Is this the good thing you said yesterday?" Zeng Li raised her eyebrows.

"Well, that's it." Yang Lingyue nodded.

"You lied to me." Zeng Li said suspiciously, staring at her boyfriend.

"Why did I lie to you? I'm not happy to get the commendation, but you will know if you watch yesterday's focus interview. We, the foreign movie guys, can do something. Isn't that worth being happy about?" Yang Lingyue touched his girlfriend's face and smiled.

"I don't like that you have too much involvement with them." Zeng Li hesitated before speaking.

"I understand what you mean, don't worry, I know it well." Old God Yang Lingyue patted the back of Zeng Li's hand.

Then the two talked about actors, and Zeng Li had already compiled the actor information, remuneration range, etc. into a file.

"Lizi, please communicate with Marco about the division of labor, so I have to trouble you about this matter."

Yang Lingyue mainly looked at the actors' remuneration and said to Zeng Li.

The previous plan was that actors' remuneration should not exceed 40% of the production cost, which is 3.2 million.

Looking back now, it is indeed true, and it will definitely not be exceeded.

The leading actor, Tong Dawei, has the highest number, which has been set at 500,000;

followed by Wang Deshun, 200,000-400,000;

Lu Zhong, 20-30;

The remaining old artists’ income is about 100,000.

Zeng Li and Lu Zhong are in the same cast, that's what this movie is.

The director's salary is generally 5%, which is 400,000.

The screenwriter's remuneration is generally 3-5%, which is 240,000-400,000. The main screenwriter of "The Last Race" is Yang Lingyue, and of course the teachers, Zeng Li, Ning Hao, and Xing Aina.

Photography, lighting, music, art, music, etc. account for about 10%.

The above is the production department, which accounts for about 60% of the production cost. Of course, it is impossible in later generations. The main actors' remuneration is 70%.

Of course, there are exceptions. Actors in literary films or movies directed by great directors have to reduce their pay to star in them, so they may not have a chance.

The management department, that is, producers, production directors, finance, legal affairs, etc. account for 10%;

Scene props, etc. account for 25%;

Others: 5%.

That’s roughly how much production costs are allocated for a movie in this day and age.

The publicity budget like this is more than the production budget. No domestic film has ever done this.

"Okay, just wait for the filming without any worries." Zeng Li kissed her boyfriend and responded with a smile.

"That's good. I still have to do the location scouting and actor communication, but Marco can be of great help." Yang Lingyue smiled and shook his head, not agreeing with Zeng Li's doting words.

Then the two chatted about Liu Wenhan, and Zeng Li agreed with her boyfriend's thoughts, but:

"Why did you let Yu Li talk to me?"

"She is my future secretary of the board of directors, so she naturally has to fully understand my ideas on hiring people and my methods of doing things." Yang Lingyue said seriously, just talking about matters.

"Also, let me give you my final opinion, haha." Zeng Li said softly.

"This is also what I think in my heart. Just like I once told you, you can take charge of all my affairs when I am not around." Yang Lingyue said seriously.

"What are you talking about?"

Zeng Li slapped her boyfriend angrily. Then, he snuggled into his arms and said:

"You have to teach me too."

"We take care of each other and amplify each other's light." Yang Lingyue said with a smile.

This is love~

"My dear, even if you are not handsome or rich, you still charm me to death with this mouth." Zeng Li sat up, held her boyfriend's face and pecked it before laughing.

"That's wrong. Don't I have a good body?" Yang Lingyue frowned and said dissatisfied.

"It's annoying, great, great, but it won't be used these days." Zeng Li couldn't help laughing.

"Just slow down." Yang Lingyue said.

Zeng Li immediately changed her face, raised her eyebrows, and started waving her hands, crackling for a while.

It's over, a little dizzy. Apparently Zeng Li also noticed something wrong with Yu Li today. She took a breath as soon as she sat down. It's hard not to think of something.

Then Yang Lingyue had no choice but to hug Zeng Li and gag her mouth.

"It's not in line with your temper to be so angry." Yang Lingyue comforted him.

"Didn't you say that a good actor should maintain mood swings?" Zeng Li sneered.

"You are not an actor now, you are my lover now, and you should be emotionally stable." Yang Lingyue said plausibly.

"You said everything, I really want to shut your mouth." Zeng Li laughed angrily.

"Come."

"Hmm."

"Okay, don't do it. Don't you want to slow down? Oops." Zeng Li patted her boyfriend angrily.

Tsk, he also said that Yang Lingyue said everything himself, didn’t Zeng Li do the same.

They were fighting and making love, and they didn't look like two people with the mentality of middle-aged people at all.

"If you like someone, just say you like them. If you are angry, tell them why you are angry.

If you do something wrong, you should apologize sincerely. Don't guess, don't be sarcastic, and don't say one thing and mean another.

Don't waste time on strange questions, because the time we spend together is too precious.

Can you express your love frankly?"

"I love you."

"I love you, too."

Sleep in each other's arms and fall asleep frankly.

April 18th Shangsi Festival, which is the third day of March.

It is not only the day to worship Huangdi, but also the day to worship ancestors before the Qingming Festival.

However, in Yang Lingyue's memory, the only thing left on this day is the saying and custom of "March 3, scrambled eggs".

So at noon, Yang Lingyue ate scrambled eggs with tomatoes in the cafeteria, along with Zhu Yilong, Han Fu, and Du Xiaoyu.

In the Four Seasons Cafe after dinner, Han Fu signed the confidentiality agreement handed over by Du Xiaoyu with a sob face, and said with emotion:

"Director Yang, your advertising creativity is very Japanese and Thai style, absolutely amazing!"

"Boss Han, don't say anything about asking the brand to increase the budget, just give a direct answer." Yang Lingyue was too lazy to argue, and went straight to the point.

"Uh, this, okay."

Han Fu asked himself that he was a straightforward person. Today, he saw someone who was more straightforward than himself, or that he didn't care at all.
