Zhou Yun: Not spending extra money, yet shooting two spin-off movies? I get it, impressive, that's quite a strategy, incredible.
Zhou Lan: Anyway, this has nothing to do with you, just pretend you don't know.
Zhou Yun: So, Yin Zhou and Yu Yan won't get additional pay either?
Zhou Lan: I don't know about Yu Yan, but Yin Zhou is Yuehai's own artist, I guess they won't pay him extra, heard that even the photographers are only getting a bonus.
Zhou Yun: They are really pinching pennies, they must have already made money from this drama, right? There were TV stations that bought it for broadcast, and new sponsorship ads.
Zhou Lan: It's none of our concern, we just finish shooting our part, collect the final payment, and let them shoot however many spin-offs they want.
Such situations are actually not uncommon.
Whenever there's a big production, or a hit, they generally develop spin-offs or other related products to make an extra buck leveraging the momentum.
