Chapter 554: I Am the Investor, I Have the Final Say
Bravehart immediately opened the account book and replied earnestly, "Mr. Lin has already invested 336,000 dollars in the crew. These are all funds for filming, including actor salaries. We can only receive them after the film is completed!"
"Is that all? You guys are being too thrifty," Ivy shook her head disdainfully.
Based on Drake's tone, she thought they had invested tens of millions.
Bravehart felt a bit wronged as he said, "We have to be thrifty. Mr. Lin watches us closely every day. He always says, 'No extravagance and waste, save as much as you can!' We worked so hard to come to the bottom of the cliff to film, and even cut the python's body into pieces for Bluey's tail, just to save on production and special effects costs."
The crew was truly wronged!
"Ten times the amount, right?" Ivy took out her wallet, casually wrote a check for 3.36 million dollars, and threw it to Drake.
Clapping her hands, she said to Bravehart, "Starting today, there's no need to be so thrifty anymore. Let's expand the scale a bit, improve the special effects, and extend the 20 episodes to 50 or even 100 episodes as long as the ratings don't drop. I will fully sponsor whatever money is needed for the entire production!"
Really?
Everyone in the crew was overjoyed.
Whenever Ivy thought about Bravehart mistreating Bluey, she felt worried.
With a cold face, she warned Bravehart, "From now on, when filming, you are not allowed to trouble Bluey. If the scenes are difficult for Bluey, don't force her to act. We can find a stand-in or use special effects. If it's really not possible, I'll be the stand-in. I'm not afraid of water or any injuries!"
That would be great! Bravehart couldn't stop smiling.
He had witnessed Ivy's talent himself, and she was even better than special effects!
Most importantly, Ivy and Bluey were twin sisters, so she wouldn't even need to do makeup as a stand-in.
"This is really taking advantage of others!" Maya gritted her teeth.
Ivy glanced at Maya and said to Bravehart again, "As for Maya's storyline, let her follow the cameraman's script and play the role of a fake Zoey who will disappear! She doesn't need to appear anymore!"
"Why? I won't agree!" Maya jumped up unwillingly. "I am a diva of the film and television industry. How can I endure such mistreatment?"
"I am the investor, I have the final say!" Ivy replied, crossing her arms.
"You're the investor?" Maya extended her hand. "Then I won't act anymore, just pay me my salary! My salary should be the same as Omagae's, 10 million dollars per episode. We've already filmed 17 episodes, so please give me 170 million dollars!"
"10 million dollars per episode?"
Ivy refused to believe it. "Bravehart, show me Maya's contract!"
Bravehart felt a bit embarrassed as he said, "She is the investor's daughter, so we didn't sign a separate contract. But it was mentioned in the initial budget that Maya and Omagae would receive equal pay."
"What about Omagae's contract?" Ivy continued to ask.
Before Bravehart could reply, Omagae said, "There are loopholes in my contract. It's not reliable,
However, it's been a long time since I've done charity work, so I've decided that I won't take any salary for "The Love of the Spirit Snake" and instead do a charity performance!"
"What? A charity performance!" Maya was about to go crazy with anger.
She hadn't signed a contract with the production team, and the only proof of her salary was the program's budget bill. The budget clearly stated that Maya and Omagae were paid the same amount. Now that Omagae suggested a charity performance, didn't that mean she had to do it too?
"What do you mean a charity performance! I refuse!" Maya said angrily. "If you don't want to pay me, I'll sue you for violating my image rights! The whole world knows that I starred in 'The Love of the Spirit Snake.' It has aired 17 episodes, and that's undeniable evidence!"
"Is it truly undeniable?" Ivy immediately sought help from Alexander. "Darling, do you have a solution?"
