Vyacheslav Kopeikin described a substantial daily rate tied to his work in film, estimating around one hundred thousand rubles per day as compensation. The report references StarHit as the source of these details.
Kopeikin noted that his remuneration rose roughly two and a half times following the breakout success of the series Words of a Child. He also took on the role of Turbo in the film Blood on Asphalt, which contributed to his growing profile in the industry.
He clarified that he does not view this as reckless self-promotion. If he were careless, he might boast of world-class stardom and demand five million per shift with little room for negotiation. Instead, he recognizes that his current demand has increased and factors this into his career decisions. He stressed that the rise in fees aligns with the nature of the market and his evolving reputation.
Kopeikin added that he does not consider his earnings unfair. He believed his own assessment of his value to be reasonable and justified by his track record and evolving popularity.
