The stars of "The Big Bang Theory" are getting a big salary increase as CBS moves the show to the starter-block position on Thursday nights in an attempt to launch a new comedy block.
颇受观众好评喜剧剧集《生活大爆炸》收视节节高升，演员吉姆·帕森斯更是一举斩获了今年艾美奖喜剧类最佳男主角殊荣，而CBS电视台也将此剧作为每周四拼抢观众收视的利器，而几位主角的酬劳也随之水涨船高。
Emmy-winning star Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco will each earn $200,000 an episode for the show's upcoming fourth season, sources confirmed. That's up more than 200 percent from their previous $60,000 per episode.
据媒体报道，在即将开播的第四季中，约翰尼·盖尔克奇、吉姆·帕森斯、卡蕾·措科三位主演每一集都会有二十万美元的进账，和上一次六万美金的酬劳相比，翻了两番。
Their salaries will climb by another $50,000 each year for the next three (presumed) seasons of the show. That's still a far cry from the nearly $2 million per episode earned by Charlie Sheen on CBS' veteran "Two and a Half Men," whose ratings were surpassed by "Big Bang" last season.
而CBS电视台已经向片方预定了之后三季《生活大爆炸》。这边预示着这三个明星的片酬将再涨五万美元。尽管如此，这水平与同台的《好汉两个半》的查理-辛每集200万美金的收入还是差距甚远，而在上一季中，《生活大爆炸》的收视已经逾越了《好汉两个半》。 |
