迪伦·斯普劳斯自曝《小查与寇弟》重播费仅5美分：约190集热门剧没换来像样支票
据《今日美国报》与《娱乐周刊》报道，演员迪伦·斯普劳斯（Dylan Sprouse）11月3日在自己与布伦丹·科伦布斯（Brendan Columbus）共同主持的播客《Wildmen》一期节目中自曝，他从迪士尼频道成名作《小查与寇弟》（The Suite Life of Zack & Cody）拿到的唯一一张重播版税支票只有5美分。
斯普劳斯在节目中说：「我从《小查与寇弟》收到过的唯一一张版税支票，是与《汉娜·蒙塔娜》（Hannah Montana）联动的那一集，五美分。我没开玩笑。」重播版税是演员在片酬之外、作品被重播或再利用时获得的报酬。
同场嘉宾是当年在剧中饰演旅馆经理的菲尔·刘易斯（Phill Lewis）。斯普劳斯兄弟主演的《小查与寇弟》2005年至2008年播出，续作《小查与寇弟的游轮生活》2008年至2011年播出。两人在节目中估算，当年在迪士尼频道一共拍了约190集《小查与寇弟》系列。刘易斯说，这部剧曾在90多个国家播出，一晚上会被重播四到五次，因为孩子们会反复看。
斯普劳斯说，当年的合同安排可以把一个日历年里拍的全部集数都算作「一季」，剧组因此不必给演员涨薪；他还回忆，联合主创丹尼·卡利斯（Danny Kallis）当年曾拿着一份报纸到片场，说《小查与寇弟》的收视率赢过了《黑道家族》（The Sopranos），年少的他反问：「《黑道家族》是什么？」
童星的小额版税支票近年多次成为话题。据《今日美国报》梳理，《少年魔法师》（Wizards of Waverly Place）演员大卫·亨利（David Henrie）称自己从迪士尼作品「基本什么都没拿到」；演员乔迪·斯威廷（Jodie Sweetin）今年4月晒过一张1美分支票；《奈德的校园生存手册》演员詹妮弗·海厄特·特德莫里（Jennifer Tedmori）称自己收到过多张几美分的支票、合计8.63美元；演员乔什·佩克（Josh Peck）6月称自己从《麻吉双星》（Drake & Josh）拿不到任何版税，尽管当年每集片酬约1.5万美元。
《娱乐周刊》称已就此联系迪士尼方面置评，未获即时回应。
Dylan Sprouse Says His Only 'Suite Life' Residual Check Was Five Cents
Actor Dylan Sprouse said on the November 3 episode of Wildmen, the podcast he co-hosts with Brendan Columbus, that the only residual check he has ever received for Disney Channel's The Suite Life of Zack & Cody was for five cents, according to USA Today and Entertainment Weekly.
"The only residual check I've ever received for the 'Suite Life' at all was a crossover episode with 'Hannah Montana' for five cents. I'm not joking," Sprouse said. Residuals are payments actors receive, separate from their initial pay, when a production is rerun or reused.
The episode's guest was Phill Lewis, who played hotel manager Mr. Moseby on the series. Sprouse and his twin brother Cole starred in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody from 2005 to 2008, followed by The Suite Life on Deck from 2008 to 2011. On the podcast, Sprouse, Lewis and Columbus calculated that they made about 190 episodes of Suite Life television at Disney Channel. Lewis said the show aired in more than 90 countries and ran four or five times a night because kids kept rewatching it.
Sprouse said the contracts allowed the production to film as many episodes as it wanted in a calendar year and count them as a single season, so the young cast did not have to be paid salary bumps. He also recalled co-creator Danny Kallis bringing a newspaper to set saying Suite Life was beating The Sopranos in the ratings, and a young Sprouse asking, "What's 'The Sopranos'?"
Tiny residual checks have become a recurring topic among former child stars. According to USA Today's roundup, Wizards of Waverly Place actor David Henrie has said he gets "nothing really" from his Disney work; Jodie Sweetin shared a one-cent check in April; Ned's Declassified actor Jennifer Hyatt Tedmori said her checks included one for two cents and totaled $8.63; and Josh Peck said in June that he receives no residuals from Drake & Josh despite having made about $15,000 an episode.
Entertainment Weekly said it contacted Disney for comment and did not receive an immediate response.
