The last hurdle to Warner Bros. TV and CBS clinching a two-season renewal of “The Big Bang Theory” is setting a new contract with actresses Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch.

《生活大爆炸》續訂兩季的最后一個困難當屬Warner Bros. TV 和CBS與兩位女主演Mayim Bialik 和Melissa Rauch的新合同了。

Bialik and Rauch both joined “Big Bang” in season three and thus have to date earned significantly less than their co-stars. Both actresses are in the $200,000 per episode range this season, the show’s 10th, compared to $1 million per episode for the original five.

Bialik和Rauch都是在第三季加盟的,她倆的片酬一直低于五位核心主演。在第十季里她倆的片酬是20萬美元每集,而另外五位主演是每集100萬美元。

In the renewal talks that began late last year, the original cast members agreed to take a $100,000 cut in salary for the prospective 11 ^th and 12 ^th seasons to free up $500,000 to fund raises for Bialik and Rauch.

在2016年末的一次談話中,五位卡司都愿意在第11和12季,從自己的片酬里抽10萬美元集資每集50萬美元勻給Bialik和Rauch。
