After being dragged to the lounge by Mike, Cain went through several more takes.
Watching the final version of the video, Mike nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, should fetch a good price."
Putting away the camera, Mike didn't try to hide anything from Cain and asked Ace directly, "How much are you planning to pay the actor?"
Ace was taken aback. "What?"
Pay Cain too?
Mike started counting on his fingers. "Making these short videos has costs, you know. Actor's fee, director's fee, channel fee, marketing and promotion fee..."
"Stop right there!"
Ace stopped Mike's insane calculations and said directly, "Don't make it so complicated. After deducting all costs, we split the profits fifty-fifty. And the costs can't come out of your pocket."
Mike nodded in agreement. "No problem!"
That was fair.
Mike looked at Cain and asked, "How about I give you 50?"
50 what?
