When I Have Money

Only now did Yang Kun know that the price of an artist of Kim Jong Kook's level is very cheap. Although Yang Kun knew that Korean artists don't make much money, he really didn't know that even Kim Jong Kook's performance fee for a variety show was only 10 million won.

No wonder Kim Jong Kook participated so actively when China had a program invitation. After all, the price offered by Huaxia is 100 million won, which is ten times his performance fee in Korea!

Including the Huang Zhilie who came to the mainland to make money, he returned to the Korean program and said that his performance fee is 100 times that of South Korea. Because his level of performance in Korean variety shows is only worth one million won for one episode, and the price offered by the mainland is 100 million won, so it is naturally a hundred times more in his eyes.

That's why when Yang Kun got the salary of 10 million won, Han Te praised the show crew for being sincere and generous. After all, you don’t have a certain level in Korea, and you really can’t get tens of millions of dollars in variety shows in Korea.

Yang Kun said with a smile on the road: By the way, if Zhien is on a variety show on weekdays, how much is her performance fee?

Han Te said: It's about the same as you. It's about 10 million to 20 million. The performance fees are different for different programs. Some programs have higher production costs and more money. However, Zhien is basically I won’t be on variety shows anymore.”

Yang Kun was very surprised and said: Is it only 20 million won for Zhien to appear in variety shows?

Han Te nodded earnestly: Now the funds of each program group are very tight, and each program group is very careful in terms of expenses. Nowadays, in order to be able to promote, many idols don't even need performance fees Woolen cloth.

Han Te continued to tell Yang Kun about the Korean entertainment circle: Well~~ It's like Knowing Brother with a relatively high ratings. Some idols want to go to this show, but they can't. By the way, you know Is it Saturday Idol? There is no performance fee for that show, and tens of thousands of dollars are paid for it. And if you want to go to that show for promotion, you have to have a certain relationship.

Yang Kun was very puzzled and said, Didn't I read the news that Korean performance fees have increased?

When Han Te heard Yang Kun's words, he immediately laughed: You are talking about the performance fees of film and television works, such as Hyun Bin, these are hundreds of millions of Korean won. In the past, 'billion' was at the level of Bae Yong Joon. Yes, most of the first-line male actors are now in the unit of '100 million'. The main reason is that after Netflix came in aggressively, even the salaries of all the actors have increased.

Netflix, the world's largest online video platform, has very strong capital. So after they came in, they not only increased the income of writers, but also increased the wages of actors a lot. And if other investors do not follow Netflix to increase the remuneration of actors, it will be difficult to invite well-known actors to perform, so Korean actors have ushered in a wave of salary increases.

Yang Kun smiled after hearing this and said, I thought all performance fees had been raised.

Hunter immediately complained and said, How is it possible? The virtue of the TV station... even hope that everyone will only work and not charge money. In fact, the income of the TV station has been offset by a lot of online media, and it is no longer the same as before. Dominant, so the program team is eager to spend two cents.

Yang Kun said: I think there are still some programs that I am willing to invest in. For example, Jiang Hudong's The Great Escape, the production cost is not cheap. What are you doing?

Hunter smiled: The ones you mentioned are all leading programs. Such a large-scale TV station is still very good at investing. After all, the TV station needs a show that can be sold! As for other small programs, they all adhere to the ability Saving is saving. The key is that the director has saved money, but he still has to pay for the ratings.

After South Korea's three major TV stations were affected by the financial impact of '08', private TV stations poured in a lot of money and began to seize the traditional media market. And those private stations have the support of big financial groups, so when the three major TV stations were hit by the financial crisis, they started poaching a lot of people for 10 years...entered an explosive growth period!

But now the traditional media is being challenged by the Internet media, so the money for the program group is not so easy to apply for, except for those leading programs, so the performance fees of variety shows have never been high.

Yang Kun and Han Te chatted all the way back to Seoul, and Han Te sent Yang Kun home. After arriving home, Yang Kun took a shower and called Li Zhien, and the connection was quickly connected. Li Zhien's voice was extremely gentle: Oh, you're back? Did the shooting go well?

Yang Kun replied: The filming went well, where are you? Are you coming for dinner tonight?

Li Zhien replied: Inna and I were outside. I won't come back to eat at night. Inna and I will eat outside. I will come back later.

Understood, so be it.

After Yang Kun hung up the phone, he walked towards the refrigerator, took out a can of iced coffee from it, and stood in front of the French window and drank it. The coffee was finished quickly, and he stayed at home for a while before going out with the car keys.

After Li Zhien and Yang Kun hung up the phone, Liu Renna said with a smile: The relationship is good, you two.

As Li Zhien's closest friend, she certainly knows that Li Zhien and Yang Kun have reached the stage of a romantic relationship. It's just that the love between the two has not been discovered so far because they both live in the same community.

Liu Renna's words made Li Zhien smile gently: Well, it's okay. When I'm with him, I feel more of a sense of security and calmness. We haven't had any great passion since we met.

After hearing this, Liu Renna nodded slightly and said: I think it's good that you are so sincere, because I think true feelings should be so plain and real. Those loves that are too strong come and go quickly. And Two people have been together for a long time, but in fact, there is not much passion, but only insipidity can we go to the end with each other.

Li Zhien nodded and echoed: Well, I also think that such a true relationship is the most comfortable, and there will be no burden on each other.

Liu Renna asked: By the way, what program did Yang Kun participate in filming?

Li Zhien: Bai Zhongyuan's Delicious Square, Han Te called me yesterday and said that the program team intends to invite Yang Kun to the program as a regular.

Liu Renna was a little surprised: No way, didn't he go as a guest? Why did it become fixed after just one episode?

Li Zhien guessed and replied: I guess...it should be that the program crew watched him know how to cook, right? The program I am interested in is a cooking program.

When talking about Yang Kun's cooking skills, Liu Renna remembered the family cooking at Yang Kun's home last time, and she immediately smiled and said: Yes, Yang Kun's cooking skills are really good, when will you invite me again? Want to have a meal, Zhien?

Li Zhien said: I said just now that I would not go back to eat. Do you really want to eat his cooking?

Yoo In Na said, It's safer at home. By the way, does he know how to cook Western food? I want creamy pasta, steak, and seafood.

Yes, I saw him do it at home. He said that Western cuisine is much simpler than Chinese cuisine. Do you really want to eat it at home? It's three o'clock now. I don't know if he can do it well.

Liu Renna nodded and said, Well, let's eat it at home, my mouth is watering just thinking about Yang Kun's craftsmanship.

Okay said Li Zhien and took out his phone. Yang Kun had just arrived in his little blue car when Li Zhien called back. Yang Kun answered her phone: What's wrong?

I just asked Ren Na, we decided to come back for dinner, we are shopping for a while, and we will be back around 6:30. Let's cook some Western food. She wants to eat creamy pasta, steak, and seafood.

I see. It happened that Yang Kun was thinking about going out to buy something before he came back to cook. As a result, Li Zhien and Li Zhien said they would come back for dinner at night, so Yang Kun just cooked their portion along the way. Steak, simple, Yang Kun arranges a Wellington steak.

You can buy ready-made puff pastry in supermarkets, and you can just fry a mushroom sauce when you go home, and then make a red wine sauce. Seafood is also simple. Buy a lobster and make a Michelin three-star lobster with beet and leek, which was very famous 20 years ago, and pasta is even simpler.

At around 6:30 in the evening, Li Zhien and Ren Na came to Yang Kun's house together. Yang Kun opened the door to welcome the two of them. Li Zhien held the clothes he bought for Yang Kun in his hand: Here, I saw a nice T-shirt while shopping, and I bought it for you.

Yang Kun took Li Zhien's heart, and then nodded to Liu Renna: Thank you, come in. Inna Xi, long time no see.

Liu Renna said politely with a smile on her face: Hey, I'm bothering you again today, and I'm coming to your house again for dinner!

You're welcome, you're Zhien's good friend. It's too late for me to welcome you. Come in.

After the two entered the house, Li Zhien pointed to the three 'small buns' placed by Yang Kun and said, What are these?

Yang Kun said: Steak Wellington, didn't you say you want to eat steak? I didn't make a large Wellington, but I made a small one according to the pattern of 100 grams of beef per person.

Li Zhien nodded and said, Oh? When can I eat, I'm hungry.

Yang Kun responded: Within half an hour. I'll do it right away~~ You sit down, Ren Na, you choose a bottle of red wine.

Speaking of which, Yang Kun began to put the small portion of Beef Wellington for the three of them into the oven, and then the lobster also began to warm up the butter. The signature 'beet and leek lobster' with three Michelin stars used to be served with butter as a medium. Made warm..
