Chapter 81 Is this a scheme to win me over?
Just as Chen Xun left the producer's office, Robert called!
He was agitated:
"100,000 per episode! Chen! They quoted 100,000 per episode! And they even offered it themselves!"
"Holy shit! Do you know what this means? It means they consider you a core asset! They're terrified you'll leave!"
"The first season hasn't even aired yet, and your rise to fame is so rapid, even a rocket couldn't catch up!"
Chen Xun held the phone further away, and only calmly said after Luo Bo finished yelling:
"I just finished talking to Julie, and I agreed."
"Great! I'll contact my legal team right away to review the contract details! You've really made a name for yourself in the sitcom world now!"
Rob excitedly chattered on:
"Now let's see who dares to say you were just lucky! They'll have to try their luck with a 100,000-yuan-per-episode chance!"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xun went to the dressing room to remove his makeup.
As I stepped out of the studio, the fans and reporters outside had not completely dispersed.
There was another commotion when Chen Xun came out.
This time, Chen Xun did not leave immediately. He stopped, smiled and waved to the crowd, which triggered an even more excited scream.
He got into the car but didn't start it immediately.
One hundred thousand per episode!
The number went through his mind.
This means more than just a significant increase in income.
This also signifies that he has truly secured his place in the fiercely competitive world of Hollywood!
……
Filming for the final episode of the first season of "2 Broke Girls" has officially wrapped.
When director Michael shouted through the loudspeaker, "That's a wrap for Season One!", the entire studio was instantly filled with cheers and applause.
Colorful confetti rained down from the ceiling.
The staff and actors hugged and high-fived each other to celebrate the results of their months of hard work.
Chen Xun stood behind his familiar counter, looking at the bustling scene before him, and felt a mix of emotions.
From a novice who had to carefully find his footing in front of the camera to now being able to handle improvisation with ease and even becoming one of the crew's ratings guarantee, Boss Han Li has transformed.
The changes in just one season were even greater than he had anticipated!
"Hey, you charlatan boss!"
Kate's voice was filled with excitement.
She walked over and patted Chen Xun's back hard, not much less forceful than usual.
"Finally finished filming! I don't have to listen to your outrageous feng shui theories every day anymore!"
Chen Xun rubbed his back and complained:
"Yes, and you'll never have to worry about my little cakes driving customers away again!"
"That's hard to say!"
Kate raised an eyebrow, her eyes sparkling:
"I might miss your five-element energy-themed creative ideas that could leave Oleg speechless!"
As she spoke, she naturally reached out and helped Chen Xun remove a small piece of colored paper that had fallen onto his hair, her fingertips brushing against his hair ends unintentionally.
[Kate Dennings' favorability +5, current favorability 73]
At the same time, a bright green attribute ball fell from her body:
[Straightforwardness and approachability +2]
Chen Xun absorbed the information silently, feeling that his adaptability to this kind of straightforward American communication had improved a little.
"Chen, congratulations on wrapping up filming!"
Beth Behrs also came over with a sweet smile on her face. She opened her arms and gave Chen Xun a gentle and brief hug.
"It was such a pleasure working with you this season! You portrayed Han Li so adorably!"
"Thank you, Beth, you're the best Caroline too!"
Chen Xun responded with a smile.
[Beth Behrs's favorability +3, current favorability 68]
A light blue attribute ball floated over:
[Elegant demeanor +3]
That evening, Warner Bros. hosted a grand wrap party at a well-known rooftop restaurant in Burbank.
Lights, music, champagne tower—a typical Hollywood celebration.
Almost the entire crew came, and the atmosphere was even more lively than on set.
Chen Xun wore a simple dark casual suit, and his height and long legs were even more obvious due to the well-fitting cut.
He attracted a lot of attention as soon as he entered the venue.
The effects of the "Male God Enhancer" are simply a killer weapon in social situations.
"Damn, Chen!"
Jonathan Cutter, who plays Oleg, widened his eyes dramatically when he saw him:
"You look so charming tonight! How are us ordinary people supposed to live?!"
Chen Xun picked up a glass of champagne handed to him by the waiter, smiled, and said, "Maybe the restaurant's feng shui is just good, bringing me good fortune!"
He walked through the crowd, and people kept coming up to toast him.
The director, producers, screenwriters, and other department heads all clearly showed more respect and appreciation for him.
The contract for a salary of 10 yuan per episode seems to have already spread within a small circle within the production team, which undoubtedly further solidifies his position in the production crew and even in the industry.
Attribute balls kept falling from different people:
The executive producer drops a purple [Producer Mindset +5].
A familiar screenwriter dropped a blue [Script Structure Understanding +3].
The drunken on-site director dropped a green [On-site Dispatch Acuity +2].
……
These people seemed to relax more at the party, and the pent-up energy from the long hours of filming, mixed with alcohol, burst forth at this moment!
Chen Xun moved around the area without making a sound!
The attribute orb silently merged into his body, and the numbers on the panel kept jumping!
His understanding of actors and the industry is becoming increasingly profound!
Chen Xun opened the panel:
[Acting Skills Attribute Panel]
Dialogue: Lv2 (380/400)
Limbs: Lv2 (379/400)
Emoticons: Lv2 (363/400)
Eyes: Lv2 (398/400)
Mood: Lv2 (342/400)
Tempo: Lv2 (365/400)
Aura: Lv2 (389/400)
……
All experience points have reached over 300, and the Eyesight attribute is about to be upgraded!
Kate dropped the most items!
She seemed unusually active tonight.
Wearing a sequined camisole and jeans, she maintained her casual and unrestrained style, but her eyes kept glancing unconsciously in Chen Xun's direction.
"Chen! What are you doing hiding here?"
Kate, holding a glass of whiskey, walked straight to him, her shoulder almost touching his arm.
"Cheers to our bankruptcy! Hopefully, our restaurant won't go bankrupt next season, at least until I can afford a real Chanel!"
She tapped his glass, making a crisp sound.
[Kate Dennings' favorability +3, current favorability 76]
Green Attribute Ball: [Comedy Rhythm +2]
"Maybe next season I should research how to conjure up US dollars using some kind of mystical method!"
Chen Xun and she took a sip.
"Come on, your tricks might fool Caroline and Oleg at best."
Kate chuckled, but moved a little closer to him, lowering her voice:
"Seriously, Chen, what are your plans next? Are you going to go and make one of those cool, big-budget movies, and then look down on our little sitcom?"
Her tone was as teasing as ever, but her eyes held a seriousness that was barely perceptible.
"The contract's already signed, where else could they run off to?"
Chen Xun calmly replied, "Besides, I feel quite comfortable at the Williamsburg Hotel!"
Kate visibly relaxed, and her smile widened.
"That's more like it! At least you have some conscience!"
As she spoke, she very naturally reached out and straightened his tie, which wasn't actually crooked.
[Kate Dennings' favorability +4, current favorability 80!]
A blue attribute orb dropped:
[Emotional expression tension +3]
Chen Xun could clearly see the number above her head constantly changing her favorability rating.
What's wrong with this woman?
Is this person trying to seduce me?
