Netflix made an absolute FORTUNE off of this show. Literally hundreds of millions of dollars. They're literally nothing without the actors and Lee Jung Jae realized that. give the actors what they deserve!
@@realityalt5137Film production isn't that easy, its not you pay to get you and people paid. You have to organize your budget into sets, costume designings, editers, boom mic guy, camera-man, screenplay writers, directors, actors, etc etc. And even if you made a fortune after that and you plan on making another one and the salary for the actors are high (normally over a million) that puts SO MUCH STRESS ON SPENDING MONEY on the production. A million per episode is probably the salary of the bestfriend of the protaganist in a movie.
The other man that they need to pay is the director/creator of the show. I know he made a mistake for giving the intellectual property rights to Netflix because he didn't know his creation is gonna get this big, but getting paid for 150k max for a show that you created in one season, and the show earning nearly a billion dollars is crazy.
$1M per episode is the price for A-list actors or leading actors on a long & successful show. For example, the cast of Friends, Big Bang Theory, Game of Thrones, etc just to name a few. The lead actors got paid $1M or more per episode at later seasons. Lee Jung-jae is a Korean actor. The international audience doesn’t even know who he is before Squid Game. This is only season 2 and he’s requesting $1M per episode is quite outrageous to the studio. The fact he practically stole an Emmy last year was already absurd.
Zandaya got 1mil only in season 3. That is after renegotiating for it. I just think it is too early for him. Not to mention, Netflix also spent a lot to make squid game too.
Squid Game made SO MUCH money! There is no reason why the leads cannot revive a raise. KDrama actors are some of the most humble and kind celebrities, They deserve nothing but the best.
Bieng kind and humble isn’t a reason to get payed more than the work u out in…. Why do we have to thank or celebrate people being kind and humble those are basic manners and qualities everyone should have. No big deal…
No not even close Andrew Lincoln doesn’t make that much and he is a much much much better actor than all of these guys and has done ten seasons for the walking dead
@@akwasiatuahene8433Don't currencies get translated directly based off of value though? Or do they have different values even through currency converting?
1 million dollars per episode is nothing compared to what netflix made off of squid game (netflix only used 20 million which is low for the money they use for shows usually to make squid game and it made 900 million, so assuming there are 8 episodes and netflix quadtruples the budget for season 2, they should still have 811 million if they payed the lead actor and the budget was 80 million
Squid game season 1 was just 20 million dollars? Hell nahhh bro the production, the story,the acting,the music, the visual everything is top notch, I thought it was more than at least 300 million dollars
it's funny how perspective changes things, cause as an 18 year old who's about to move out and working a minimum wage job, HALF of what he makes would be a legendary thing for me to have 😅😭
Netflix made $900mm on season 1 & paid 21mm for it. Then Netflix made further profits in Squid Game spin off shows, games, & merchandise. I think they can pay a lot for Season 2.
they’re making an actual competition version of squid games before season two of the show comes out. it’s based in america and the prize is 4.35 million dollars i’m pretty sure. netflix confirmed it.
The whole cast was not as Moving like the main character was. He made You Feel what He feel. Idk bout 1M each Episode but 3M for him on the season is valid to me💯
@ I just finished it, I’d still say s1 was a little better, but only because season 2 felt pretty rushed and short but they did only have 3 years so yeah but s2 is still amazing but s1 just has the edge over it
What’s always annoyed me is that actors go on strike and shit saying theyre not payed enough when they getting a doctor who’s trained years and saved hundreds of lives yearly salary for like 6 months acting with weekends breaks and downtime
Lowkey, it brought a huge audience to Netflix as well as introducing a lot of people to kdramas which helped propel ratings of their other shows like All of Us Are Dead and Uncanny Encounter (shows that non kdrama fans may hav glossed over due to language barrier). He deserves that much imo
I often see people complaining that big time actors asking for higher pay is stupid but its not when you think about… He’s the main character. He starts the show and ends the show. He IS the poster head for squid game. When you think about the show you think of him. ALL actors no matter they’re financial background deserves the right pay equal to how much work and effort they put onto the show and how much their contribution allowed the show to flourish and get popular. He deserves good pay.
man i honestly dont know why people stan her like shes some sort of god 1 she died so she cant be in the new season 2 shes the reason gi hun was in this place 3 gi hun was the one to apologize first. now dont say i havent watched squid game bc i have and these are all facts so someone tell me why she would get the money.
Bruh her death and story was so sad. Every dude has a crush on the actress and ofc they want to give her the raise despite her being written out of the show. This guy was only part of a one season smash hit. I’d wait until a season 3 to consider paying him that much money since season 2 isn’t even guaranteed to be as big of a hit as 1
He was the main charecter as much as I loved the girl actor too, I think his request is alright considering how much they made of brand deals and the series itself
Yea the 7 figures per episode isnt thay uncommon. I think Norman Reedus was making that much per episode by the time TWD ended. And sure, AMC cheaped our with the episode budget because they kept doing that for the shows entire lifespan, but they still paid their cast really good. Don't know why Netflix, a multi billion dollar company cant do the same, especially with how much they earn
while that show made a lot of money and he was technically the lead role, a lot of people liked the other characters more and their stories, and there’s only been one season. friends was huge and still is huge today, and zendaya is one of the most popular actresses out there right now and has been famous since she was a young teen lmao. maybe he is more famous where he is from also and has been in more things, but most people would only know him from this show and it only had one season.
The cast of Friends had to wait 10 seasons to get that, and Zendaya tide to work her ass off for it she started making it too. However this guy seems to be an opportunist knowing that his character is very important to the series so you can get away with it it's doesn't seem like he's earned it
You really shouldn’t comment on something you know nothing about. Have you even watched SG? Your making assumptions about this Korean Actor while knowing everything and standing up for the American actors. This man worked his butt off as well and deserves to make a million dollars just like the actors you mentioned.
I knew the owners of squid game were harvesting organs in the show but it was so brutal I didn’t think they would show it……I threw up in my mouth a lil
