Chapter 489
"It’s not really plagiarism..."
Shen Teng looked embarrassed.
But the explanation seemed quite pale.
*Brother, Hi*, starring Ma Li, Chang Yuan, and Wei Xiang, looked like it was reeking of *Hi, Mom*.
If not plagiarism, at least it was a rip-off.
Yet the ending was a case of "the ugly imitating the beautiful."
It was criticized to pieces.
"Don’t worry, that crappy movie would be the same no matter who it ran into."
Xu Feng said indifferently.
Although Xu Feng himself didn’t have high expectations for the box office of *Angel’s Drop*,
it was definitely not comparable to a crappy movie like *Brother, Hi*.
Actually, Xu Feng was sometimes really curious, what’s wrong with the screenwriters these days?
They can’t even copy homework well.
*Ultraman Tiga*, an episodic series similar to *Home with Kids* that tells a small story every one or two episodes.
This was the first time Xu Feng had filmed one, but he found it quite interesting.
There’s a benefit to filming this kind of show: you can find big names to cameo at will.
For example, Lina’s father, who only appeared in one or two episodes, was played by the veteran Li Xuejian, and the father and daughter in the *Monster Bird Sila* story were played by Zhang Songwen and Zhao Jinmai.
As his favorite Ultraman from his past life, Xu Feng really found half the acquaintances in the entertainment industry to come and cameo.
Uh... actually, saying it was his favorite is a bit wrong.
After all, he had only watched *Tiga* and *Taro*.
And Xu Feng making such a big splash naturally attracted a lot of people in the circle.
As Xu Feng’s new show taking over the banner from *Naruto*, *Ultraman Tiga*
was naturally given high hopes.
And Xu Feng himself kept looking for big names to cameo, clearly full of confidence in this show.
Naturally, many people wanted a piece of the pie.
Many half-dead artists in Tang Ren saw Chen Yao, a third-tier transparent, actually getting a recurring role.
Their eyes went straight.
They felt it was unfair; isn’t it just spreading their legs?
They could do that too.
Arriving at the set, Zhang Songwen looked hesitant, and after struggling for a long time, he turned to Zhao Jinmai and asked:
"Mai, how much is Director Xu paying you for this role?"
Currently, Zhang Songwen hadn’t yet risen to the first tier with *The Knockout*’s Gao Qiqiang, barely hovering in the second tier.
He was preparing to play the doctor who created the Zelda gas in the episode *The Defense of Zelda Center*.
And Zhao Jinmai was playing his daughter.
But now Zhang Songwen had a worry: he didn’t know how much to ask Xu Feng for.
"I don’t want money."
Zhao Jinmai said with an expression of "it’s only natural."
Seeing Zhao Jinmai’s innocent and naive look, Zhang Songwen nearly couldn’t help but slap himself.
Damn, forgot this girl is Xu Feng’s child bride, she’s there to make money for Xu Feng, how could she want money?
Zhang Songwen had heard that Xu Feng loved to keep actors’ pay extremely low.
For example, if you let first-tier stars like Jay Chou or Shen Teng act in a TV series like *Ultraman Tiga* with dozens of episodes.
That should be at least 30 million in pay.
Then Zhang Songwen inquired... 6 million.
Damn, when he heard this number, Zhang Songwen was shocked.
The name "Xu the Skinner" was well-deserved.
But it wasn’t strange; Xu Feng’s shows were at worst in the Top 3 of the year’s hottest shows.
If you could act in *Bleach* or *Naruto*, which could be recorded in film history, it could directly raise an actor’s status in the entertainment industry by several levels.
The most typical examples were Zhao Jinmai and Wang Shengdi.
Damn, three years ago, the two were nobodies.
In three and a half years, they shot straight to super-first-tier.
Zhang Songwen felt that the twenty years he spent running around as an extra looking for opportunities were all lived in vain.
"He only offered me 2 million for his next show, and he didn’t even want me to act in it."
Jay Chou said pitifully.
Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede in *Slam Dunk*.
He begged Xu Feng for a long time, but he didn’t give it to him.

Zhang Songwen blinked twice.
Thinking if he should also show his loyalty and offer to cameo for 0 pay?
Thinking of this, Zhang Songwen felt his idea was very good and turned to find Xu Feng.
"Cameo as Toma? No problem, just give me 4 million."
However, when Zhang Songwen found Xu Feng, the other party’s first sentence nearly choked him to death with a mouthful of old blood.
Of course, Xu Feng wasn’t saying this to him, but to Lu Han and his agent.
Lu Han was stunned, and his agent’s face turned blue and white, barely managing a smile that was uglier than crying:
"This... Director Xu, you, you’re joking, right?"
Lu Han’s recent days had been very difficult.
Because after he was complained about by fans for selling inferior goods, it was exposed that he went to foreign websites to mock his fans.
He lost another wave of public favor.
It must be said that there are really many brainless people in the entertainment industry.
If something like this happens, can’t you just stubbornly refuse to admit it?
Anyway, your brainless fans will always support you.
You went to foreign websites to mock your fans, isn’t that just asking to be hammered?
Now, no matter how much you donate, it’s useless.
So Lu Han’s agency thought of a new way to whitewash him—
Don’t you "little haters" say I have no works?
Fine, then I’ll give you works!
Acting in Xu Feng’s show, cool enough, right?
Yeah, I can only say that these celebrity economic groups are really thick-skinned.
Talking about a cameo as if it were a lead role.
But it doesn’t matter, anyway, brainless fans will brag about it.
However, as soon as Xu Feng opened his mouth, the conditions stunned Lu Han and his economic team.
Originally, they were thinking of appearing for zero pay.
That’s giving enough face, right?
Although our "Sister Lu" no longer has the traffic he had before dating Guan Xiaotong.
But since those previous top-tier stars went in, he could still barely rank in the first tier.
Appearing for zero pay is giving enough face, right?
However, Xu Feng is even more awesome.
Want to cameo, right?
You have to give me money.
