Kaley Cuoco, Jim Parsons, and Johnny Galecki, are set to drop a Big Bang on Warner Bros. The stars are planning to demand a higher salary for each episode of the eighth season of the No. 1 rated CBS comedy。热门美剧《生活大爆炸》的三位主演凯莉·库柯、吉姆·帕森斯、约翰尼·盖尔克奇将要给华纳兄弟公司来个“大爆炸”。这三位主演计划在第八季中每集出演要求更高的薪水，《生活大爆炸》目前是CBS电视台最受欢迎的喜剧。

Currently, the trio each earn about $350,000 per episode PLUS a percentage of profits from the syndication of the show; a perk they obtained during their last negotiations。三人组目前的薪水是每人一集35万美元，外加剧集被卖给地方电视台的收益中的一部分。这也是在他们经过上次的协商后，取得的最高薪酬。

That's not enough for all the laughs they provide, however, since they're going to ask for half a million PER EPISODE。但这似乎并不够支付他们在剧集中为观众带来的欢乐笑点，他们现在要求每集50万美元。

“They know the critical position Big Bang holds on CBS’ prime-time schedule and the only thing preventing them getting what they want would be a spectacular ratings demise this season. That isn’t about to happen anytime soon。”“他们很了解《生活大爆炸》目前在CBS黄金时间段的重要地位，除非是这一季剧集的收视率出现了大幅下降，否则他们的加薪需求应该会被满足，不过暂时还不会。”

This isn't the first time stars have banded together for a pay-raise. Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and Courteney Cox secured a $1 million per episode salary for their last season of Friends back in 2002.这不是第一次主演们抱团求加薪了。2002年《老友记》最后一季，六人组詹妮弗·安妮丝顿、大卫·史威默、马修·派瑞、丽莎·库卓、麦特·勒布郎和柯特妮·考克斯薪水涨到了每集每人100万美元。

With Big Bang Theory being nominated for eight Emmys, having 18.6 million viewers at the end of its sixth season, and earning a 6.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic, which gained the show the No.1 comedy title, we TOTALLY see this working out for the three。《生活大爆炸》获得了八项艾美奖提名，第六季结束后时有1860万的观众，在18-49岁的观众群中的收视率高达6.2，这些数据都证明了其第一喜剧的头衔。鉴于此，我们有理由相信三人组的加薪需求会得到满足的。
