549 I’m Rich (2/2)
He made such a big guarantee that if everyone was unaware of Ye Lingchen's character, they would certainly think that he was arrogant.
Lin Ao smiled bitterly and shook his head. Brother Ye was a good person, but his problem was that he was always very pretentious.
It was a fact that the peak ratings for iPartment had just only broken through to 3%!
The audience for a military genre was much smaller than that of iPartment. After all, young people, especially women, rarely watched television series about the military, thus making it very difficult.
”Who knows, I might even get it to four percent.” Ye Lingchen shrugged.
Everyone was a little speechless and Qin Baichuan could not help but say, ”If you're able to push the ratings through to three and get a good reputation, I can recommend someone to help you with infrastructure on the island.”
Ye Lingchen refocused his gaze.
He was adept at design, but it was unrealistic to let him build his own house. He could not possibly be moving bricks, right? He did not have the time to do such menial things.
Qin Baichuan smiled. ”Haha, the architect's surname is Hao.”
”Grandmaster Hao!”
Ye Lingchen's eyes lit up. Since he had studied architecture before, it was only natural that he would recognize Grandmaster Hao's name.
China's infrastructure was already world-famous to begin with, as they could build several bridges in a year compared to other countries that required a few years to build just one bridge. In addition, large infrastructures such as houses, subways, and the like, fall far behind other countries.
Grandmaster Hao was none other than China's master of infrastructure. There were no less than 10 bridges designed by him alone!
Even landmark bridges such as Tongjing Bridge and Tongjiang Bridge, as well as Capital's Pants Building and Hong Kong's International Finance Centre, were all designed by him!
However, rumor had it that he had retired from the industry and was prepared to enjoy his old age.
Perhaps the only person who could get him to come out of retirement was someone like Qin Baichuan.
”Is this for real?” Ye Lingchen could not help but ask.
'If I'm going to do this, I might as well make it the best.' Those were Ye Lingchen's thoughts.
He did not want to be sloppy when constructing the island's infrastructure, since an island was different from a building or a house. A good architect was required!
”Hehe, would I still lie to you?”
”Okay!” Ye Lingchen's mouth curled slightly. ”I'll accept this task!”
Later, he continued, ”As for the candidates for this television series, I'd like to choose them from the Warrior's Department so it'll be more in line with the feeling of a battlefield. The fight scenes will be more exciting too.”
”Sure, whoever that wants to join can take the initiative to sign up.” Qin Baichuan nodded.
However, the warriors were silent.
They were slightly more averse to being celebrities because they felt like they would look like monkeys to the public. Moreover, they were born with a dislike for celebrities, because celebrities struck them as being too fake and not manly enough.
”Tch. I'm not going to go acting. It's too crass.” Lin Ao pursed his lips.
”I'm not going either. Battling with the troops and killing enemies is fine with me, but if you ask me to act, I really can't do it.”
”Showing our faces in public? Whatever next?”
Ye Lingchen looked at them and smiled. ”As long as you participate in the filming, you'll be given a salary that's in line with that of a C-list star. If you become the lead actor, you'll be paid according to A-list superstars.”
Many warriors pursed their lips. ”What is all this A-list C-list stuff? Don't even think about using money to sway us. We're not that kind of people!”
”Oh, I forgot to mention that the salary of a C-list star for one episode is a hundred-thousand and it's eight-hundred-thousand for an A-list superstar,” Ye Lingchen continued.
”Sign me up!”
”To tell you the truth, it's my dream to be a star since I was a kid.”
”It doesn't matter whether there's money involved or not, the point is, I like acting.”
