The Squid Game series production team who managed to make the series really viral and become famous get an added bonus from Netflix.
It turned out that this bonus was given because they felt the wages received were not worth it after the efforts of the creators, producers, and actors of the original content that aired on the service gave everything for the series.
"Players receive less than (US series) Succession's stellar earnings for one episode. The bonus is an acknowledgment of how profitable Squid Game is for Netflix," Bloomberg wrote Monday (22/11).
"The show is said to have cost $21 million to produce and is estimated to be worth more than $900 million for Netflix."
It is known that the Netflix system itself is indeed different from production houses in general. Bonuses awarded based on success can be awarded to artists to production teams in many industry sectors, including entertainment.
It is also known that Netflix does not share profits on every project but for every successful project, they pay for it in advance.
Well, regarding the payment of the Squid Game series, it is known that the entire Squid Game team only got US $ 1.7 million from their great success in the world.
That's a very small number considering the series brought in $891.1 million in impact value for Netflix. In fact, this figure is 41 times the production cost of the Squid Game series which reached US $ 21.4 million, or about US $ 2.4 million per episode.
