Chapter 393 The Boss Says He Can Earn More Money After Participating in the Draft
Li Mengyang didn't have any bad feelings about Xu Lai's unfriendly inquiry, it seemed that he had expected it, or he didn't care so much about this pick.

"If you come to participate in the draft... My boss said that if you succeed in the draft, you can earn more money, and there is also food and accommodation here, and teachers are also invited to teach. I can learn some skills here without spending any money. I heard from them that if these teachers are outside, it is estimated that a class costs one or two thousand, and it is free here, I think it is very profitable."

"Yes, I've heard about this too. You seem to have been lounging around during the few days you entered the camp." Lu Han cared more about these teenagers who were similar to him back then, so he treated some special people in the camp. There will be attention, but Xu Lai pays more attention to the filming of the show, and learns more about the trainees from the brief introductions they submit.

Li Mengyang didn't respond to Lu Han's sudden interruption, but just smiled shyly.

"You said that if the draft is successful, you can earn more money, but if the draft is not successful, it is not much different from before. Don't you think it is a pity to waste time in it? After all, you are already famous now, and time is for you. It's money." Xu Lai asked another question, he was a little surprised when he heard Li Mengyang's frank and realistic answer just now, who of the previous trainees came here not for dreams or something?As far as he alone said it was to make more money, it reminded him of his former self, and now he kind of overturned his first impression of him.

"Actually, it's not a pity, is it? After all, I have taken so many free classes here, so it's worth it. And when I entered the camp, the boss said that I would subsidize 2000 yuan a month for food expenses, and the camp would also give me 3000 yuan a month. The salary is not much different from my previous monthly salary, so I think it is very profitable."

Li Mengyang smiled broadly. Now not only Xu Lai was dumbfounded, but Lu Han and the others were also dumbfounded. The trainees in the audience were even dumbfounded.

The trainees were dumbfounded when Li Mengyang said that he participated in the draft to earn more money, and the teammates next to Li Mengyang broke into a cold sweat for him, but they didn't expect Xu Lai to continue to ask with great interest. Just keep listening.

An Internet celebrity earns 6000 yuan a month... This is completely different from Xu Lai's imagination. Isn't the Internet celebrity earning money quickly and the threshold is very low?
Now Li Mengyang only sees that the threshold is low, and the money comes quickly, but it doesn't show much. Xu Lai also saw that this person has more than 100 million fans on the short video platform in the profile, so it is not like this.

Xu Lai took out his mobile phone and looked at Li Mengyang's short video account. The frequency of videos is not low. Basically, four or five short videos are shot a week, and some of them are advertisements...

This... has the income of Internet celebrities reached this level now?
"As far as I know, you, a video blogger with more than 100 million fans, may spend more than 5000 to [-] yuan per advertisement..." Xu Lai raised his own question.

"These are the company's secrets, so I shouldn't be able to say them. But I get three or four hundred yuan for an advertisement, and sometimes six or seven hundred. I can say that."

Li Mengyang laughed.

"Compared with the income of other Internet celebrities, don't you feel psychologically unbalanced?" Xu Lai wanted to ask, even he couldn't accept SM's slave contract for so long, it seemed that he really wanted to make money But Li Mengyang can accept such harsh requirements from the company...

"I think it's okay. Before I was signed by the company, I was an apprentice in a barber shop for more than 1000 yuan a month. Now I earn 6000 yuan a month, and I went to college under the company's arrangement. I am very grateful to my company , so I don't feel any imbalance." Li Mengyang said seriously.

Xu Lai also paused after hearing the words, and then smiled gently at Li Mengyang, as if he had returned to the big brother next door, "I found that you know how to be content. I don't have anything to ask."

Xu Lai put down the microphone and didn't ask anyone else any more questions.

This group of Internet celebrities each have their own topics, and the program group first arranged to spend more time talking about their topics in their group, which can be regarded as attracting traffic for the program, while Li Mengyang was the one with the least topicality, while Xu Lai A lot of time was spent on him, so Xu Lai didn't participate afterwards, he was thinking about the authenticity of Li Mengyang's words.

Now everyone will set up a person, so these words can’t be completely believed, but Xu Lai feels the same for what Li Mengyang said, and he was the same at the beginning. If he didn’t write songs by himself, the announcement fee he earned when he first debuted was not enough for himself Life... There was no announcement in the first month of his debut, and he was still eating at the SM company's cafeteria with a guaranteed salary.

The Internet celebrity group paused the recording afterward to give everyone a rest time. The trainees went to chat with each other, and those who were more courageous came to strike up a conversation with the instructors, but Xu Lai went to the backstage to find the director, and just missed it with the trainees.

The purpose of him going to the director was also to find out the authenticity of Li Mengyang's information. As a result... the director told him that not only were all the information true, but he also learned that this person was more miserable than he said.

After graduating from high school, he dropped out of school to work as an apprentice in a barber shop because of poor family conditions. After all, the high annual tuition fees of the second college are a huge burden for this family.

Later, he became an Internet celebrity because he was accidentally photographed because of his handsome appearance. After being signed by an Internet celebrity company, he gave up his hairdressing career. The company arranged for him to make short videos and accept advertisements while going to college to earn money. He also sent money home regularly every month. Just keep your living expenses.

The company pays for his schooling, so the contract share is much harsher. He can only get a small amount of money for each advertisement. He shoots videos while going to school, and earns a basic salary of more than 1000 yuan. He works hard every month. It's only 6000 yuan, but he has always been optimistic and content.

As he said, the company has paid a lot for him, so it is reasonable to receive more goods and return them.

Xu Lai completely changed his view of Li Mengyang. He felt that Li Mengyang was very similar to himself at the beginning, and he was even better than himself in terms of gratitude.

However, Xu Lai still didn't think he would have a chance to debut, after all, his professional ability was too poor.But he is sure that Li Mengyang can get the support of a large number of passers-by. The rise of a poor family is a drama that many people would like to see, not to mention Li Mengyang's three views are correct and he knows how to be grateful.

There should be many such people in the world, but most of them are unlucky, and it is difficult to achieve anything if they cannot meet noble people. After all, the reality is that they are so fucking, and they like to bully those who work hard.

Xu Lai met Lin Yuner, Lu Han, Huang Zitao and Park Chanyeol at the most difficult moment of his debut, and met his teacher Kenzie. He was helped by others during the most difficult time, so he had this opportunity. Also willing to help others.

He has suffered, so he feels the same for Li Mengyang.
