"It seems I really underestimated these people's financial strength. I thought the total pay was only five thousand, but who knew they were talking about five thousand per day!"
Thinking of this, Xu Lu secretly wiped away a bead of sweat.
Fortunately, he didn't say the price was too low, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself.
In fact, Xu Lu would be willing to act for free, even if it meant gaining 'acting proficiency' skills after participating in this web series.
Now that he has learned that the pay is not just 5,000 yuan in total, but 5,000 yuan per day of filming, and how much he gets paid for each day of filming, what else could he possibly be unhappy about?
If it weren't for the script needing major revisions and the fact that other roles hadn't been cast, Xu Lu would want to start filming right now.
Five thousand a day, damn, just thinking about it is awesome!
"Xu Lu, did you finish drawing that hand-drawn version of the US dollar yesterday?"
After finishing their business, the young director, Lian Yi, brought up the matter again, and the others also looked on with curiosity.
It looks like this is where they were yesterday, watching Xu Lu livestream the process of drawing US dollars!
Xu Lu nodded and said with a smile:
"Actually, it's already drawn. Of course, due to limitations in technology, some techniques can't be made exactly the same as the real thing!"
Wow! Wow, that's amazing!
Those around him looked on with admiration upon hearing this.
"Ahem, Xu Lu, I wonder if you'd sell this painting? I'd like to buy it, partly to promote my upcoming film!"
Lian Yi spoke.
"Are you sure you're buying it to promote the video, and not for some other shady business?"
Xu Lu asked with some skepticism.
Lian Yi quickly raised her hand and said:
"I swear, it's absolutely not for any other bad purpose. I just really like that painting. How about this, I'll offer 50,000 yuan to buy it. What do you think of the price?"
"Of course, this is just the price of that painting. If we need to use it for advertising, we'll definitely have to ask you for it, and we'll settle that separately!"
"Sell it!" Xu Lu nodded in agreement without hesitation.
He originally planned to use his painting skills to make a living by busking on the streets. Now that a painting can sell for 50,000 yuan, only a fool wouldn't sell it!
If you were to say how much artistic merit his painting has, it would be completely devoid of it. The only reason it has a novelty is because it depicts US dollars.
It's safe to say that more than half of the price in that 50,000 yuan is inflated.
Of course, money can't buy what you truly love. If the other party really likes it and has the money, buying a painting for 50,000 is a reasonable choice.
A contract was signed, stipulating that filming of 'The God of Comedy' would officially begin three days later, and the other party also asked Xu Lu to bring the painting over at that time.
Xu Lu had no objection to this, because Director Lian paid for the painting on the spot, so he wasn't worried about the director running away with the money.
With 50,000 yuan in his hands, Xu Lu, who had plenty of time left after leaving the web series crew, went straight to look for an apartment.
Because he had plenty of money, he didn't spend too much time renting a studio apartment for 7,500 yuan a month, with a deposit of two months' rent and one month's rent in advance. It was the kind of place where you could move in anytime with just your belongings.
In just one afternoon, Xu Lu easily completed all the moving procedures...
[Hey streamer, where have you been all day? I've been eagerly waiting for you to start your stream!]
[Yeah, I've been to your livestream so many times, just to know if that dollar painting is finished yet, and you're only starting now!]
[Host, if you don't show up soon, we're going to call the police. Then we'll be suspected by both the police and the underworld...]
[We traded US dollars yesterday, so it's time to trade British pounds today, right? We can trade everything except for Kyushu currency!]
[That's right, we need not only our own US dollars, but also our own British pounds. The rest is up to you, anchor...]
...
To Xu Lu's surprise, the comment section was already quite lively when he opened the live stream.
Many fans came to his live stream room before he even started broadcasting, and then waited and waited.
Unfortunately, Xu Lu went to the web series production team in the morning and spent the afternoon moving, so the show didn't start until almost 8 o'clock.
"Ahem, good evening everyone. I was busy with some important matters today, so I'm starting the broadcast a bit late!"
Unexpectedly, his words immediately sparked a clamor among his fans:
[Hey streamer, you've got it backwards! What else is important? The important thing is to send us dollars and pounds!]
That's right! Everything else is secondary; your real job is drawing US dollars...
Hey guys, look! Isn't that painting behind the streamer the one he didn't finish yesterday—the one about US dollars?
[Wow! I knew this streamer was definitely going to cheat. He even drew the US dollars during his offline broadcast.]
[I think this is quite reasonable. If they continued teaching how to draw US dollars via live stream, the live stream might have to be shut down.]
[The host announces a price, I'll buy this in US dollars, I'll pay right now!]
[I'll pay 5,000. Please mail it to this address, and I'll transfer the money to you shortly...]
[I'll offer two million. If the streamer is willing to sell, then pretend I didn't say anything, hahaha!]
...
Keen-eyed fans had already spotted the completed artwork of the US dollar, and the live stream chat immediately erupted in excitement.
Many people are saying they want to buy it, some are genuinely interested, but I suspect there are some who really do want it.
However, Xu Lu waved his hand and said:
"I'm sorry, everyone, this painting has already been sold, so there's no need for you to fight over it!"
