Chapter 113 Arrival at the Island
Chen He actually had his reasons for participating in this survival show. The entertainment industry in China is fiercely competitive, and as a second-tier celebrity, he definitely earns less than those in the top tier.
The production team was willing to pay him 600,000 yuan in appearance fees, and Chen He was overjoyed and decided to join.
Now that everyone has participated in the show, they certainly won't miss out on the final ten million yuan prize.
The celebrities in Da Dong Guo are not considered wealthy. Even the top-tier celebrities present are only worth around a million.
Top-tier celebrities earn tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan for filming a movie or TV series over several months. Of that, 30% goes to the production company, and the remaining 70% is theirs.
Most of this money is invested in skincare, beauty, clothing, and jewelry; only when someone gets an endorsement deal can they save a large sum of money at once.
Without endorsements, the annual film salary is at most tens of thousands of yuan. In ten or twenty years, besides buying a house and a car, one can save millions of yuan to retire.
Just like Chen He, who received a salary of 600,000 yuan for participating in the show this time, he is a second-tier star and his contract with the company is a 50/50 split.
Of the 300,000, 300,000 went to the company, and the remaining 300,000 was his own.
This does not include personal income tax. According to the personal income tax rate of the Great Eastern Kingdom, a large income of 50,000 is subject to a tax of 20%.
In the end, Chen He only received 240,000 yuan. Of course, compared to the average worker, this income is enough for the other party to save for forty years.
Therefore, celebrities definitely earn more money than ordinary people, which is why everyone is desperately trying to get into the entertainment industry.
If we win a prize of ten million, it will be split among the five of us, and each of us will definitely get a million.
The reason why Donghai TV's promotion of the survival program caused such a huge sensation is because they spent so much money on it.
One million is a fortune that would last several lifetimes for an ordinary person, while ten million is something they can only dream of.
The program trailer alone garnered a huge following of hundreds of millions of viewers, and its subsequent ratings are likely to break records.
Everyone here is actually full of fighting spirit. Don't be fooled by your current laughter and jokes; you might be secretly observing each other's opponents.
Li Qin, Dilraba, and Wu Jing were also whispering to their group's survival experts, Lin Cong and Zhang Zhiqiang.
Yang Mi, Jia Ling, Wang Baoqiang, Luo Yong'an, and Chen Jie are also evaluating other people.
On the contrary, Wu Tao from Group 3 remained silent, while Sun Hao, who was a little socially awkward, looked like a college student with a clear yet foolish gaze.
Naza, Yang Zi, and Chen He seemed somewhat helpless. Compared to the other two groups, the two core members of their group seemed a bit out of sorts.
"Chen He, do you think we can make it this time? We won't be eliminated after just a few days, that would be too embarrassing."
Yang Zi looked at everyone with some worry and asked a thought-provoking question.
Naza covered her mouth and chuckled secretly. She's quite easygoing and hasn't received any film or television offers in the past six months. When her company put her on this survival show, she was just going through the motions.
Naza, Yang Zi, and Chen He watched the others discussing animatedly, then looked at their own side. Sun Hao was in a daze, and Wu Tao had a cold expression.
"Li Qin, what do you think of Wu Tao from Group Three?"
"Brother Jing, do you suspect the other party is a master?"
"Hmm, I have a feeling that the other side is our formidable opponent."
Dilraba also peered over at Wu Tao.
"Brother Jing, he seems pretty ordinary to me."
"Forget it, I can't explain it to you."
What could Wu Jing say? In the end, he decided to say nothing.
Jia Ling was also whispering with Yang Mi; she had come here to make money.
As a comedian, she doesn't receive many scripts these days, and most of the time she plays supporting roles. To put it bluntly, among the people here, she's probably the one who's most in need of money.
Yang Mi came here with a purpose, as she doesn't have many good opportunities in the industry right now.
If I can get an endorsement through this opportunity, it will help me establish myself as a top-tier celebrity.
It wasn't until 11 p.m. that everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Wu Tao and Sun Hao shared a room and had a brief chat.
Sun Hao was indeed a college student. He was just trying his luck this time, and surprisingly, he stayed until the end.
After hearing Sun Hao's story, Wu Tao felt like he was joking.
Spending half a month enjoying the scenery in the mountains behind his own house – that's what a survival expert does.
Of course, Wu Tao wasn't trying to belittle the other person. Sun Hao's ability to stand out from thousands or tens of thousands of people truly demonstrates his talent.
The other party is indeed very knowledgeable about herbs, including plants.
It might be related to the fact that his family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. I believe that once he is on the island, Sun Hao will be able to use his skills in finding food and treating injuries.
Nothing happened that night. I was woken up at around 5 a.m. the next morning and went to have breakfast.
Next, the three groups of members were transported by speedboat, and the production team dropped them off in three different directions.
Within a 50-square-kilometer area, it's very difficult for the three groups to meet unless there are special circumstances.
Because everyone's personal cell phones were confiscated before they arrived on the island, they had no way to contact the outside world for a month.
They even had to guess among themselves whether the other groups had already left.
Since this was the first time a survival show had been held, the rules didn't clearly state whether the other two groups would have to stay for a month if they both left.
It is estimated that the production team will also determine the final end time based on the actual viewership ratings.
Wu Tao, Gulnazar, Yang Zi, Chen He, and Sun Hao were sent to the west side of DYD.
This area is relatively flat, so it's definitely not suitable as a base camp.
"Everyone, we need to establish our base as soon as possible. Let's head inland now."
Wu Tao had just arrived on the island when he quickly seized command, to which Chen He shrugged, indicating that he didn't care.
Leave professional matters to professionals; several people understand this.
Walking down the street, I saw tall coconut trees. "Who would climb a tree?"
Chen He, Yang Zi, and Gulnazar shook their heads repeatedly, saying that they were dizzy just looking at someone so tall.
Sun Hao glanced at the height of the coconut tree and said somewhat uncertainly.
"I can climb trees, but this high, I'm not sure if I can."
"Okay, let's work together and try to knock down a few coconuts."
After Wu Tao finished speaking, he climbed up a coconut tree like a monkey.
Sun Hao had only climbed a few meters when he saw Wu Tao already standing at the top of the tree.
When Wu Tao went up, he brought an axe. He quickly chopped off the branches and leaves, and several coconuts fell down with them.
Naza, Yang Zi, and Chen He have already hugged the coconut and started laughing.
After Wu Tao came down, Sun Hao felt a bit numb in the tree. He was afraid of falling if he moved forward, but he also felt ashamed if he continued like this.
"Sun Hao, come down, we're about to leave."
Hearing someone below calling him to come down, Sun Hao had no choice but to use the steps to climb down.
Wu Tao led his men behind a huge rock, looked around, and decided that the place was suitable for setting up camp.
"Everyone, let's begin. Chen He, Sun Hao, and I will go cut down some trees over there. Nazha and Yang Zi, you guys go and collect some soft, dry grass from the surrounding area."
