Chantal Janzen has done several jobs at RTL 4 that she did not feel like doing, but which she accepted anyway because she felt obliged. “Because I get paid a lot for it.”
Well-known Dutch people continue to earn an extremely large amount of money for relatively little work. In particular, so-called A-stars with an exclusive TV contract are getting rich laughing. One of them is Chantal Janzen, who works for RTL 4. It sometimes also causes inconvenience, because it is not always clear which programs they will make exactly.
Lots of money
TV stars such as Chantal discuss what they will present exactly during their exclusive TV contract. Of course you can sometimes refuse something, but at some point you have to do something for your money. And that sometimes causes discomfort, the presenter confesses in her own magazine &C.
Chantal confesses: “At RTL I get money every month, because I have a permanent contract with them. In the beginning I was sometimes in a squeeze: shit, I don’t want it, but I can’t say no, because I get paid a lot for it. So then I just said yes and then I was very disappointed with myself.”
blow-up
It could just be that this also played a role last year with the balloon show Blow Up, a program in which people blow on balloons and make shapes with them. This kind of TV is seen by critics and many viewers as infantile, and as an A star you would rather not associate yourself with that. Chantal dropped out after one season.
Whether this was also a must, Chantal will of course not reveal now, because she would offend two colleagues by doing so. Her then co-host Martijn Krabbé still presents this program, but together with the new RTL 4 addition Leonie ter Braak.
Good for learning
Chantal makes her revelation during an interview with actress Tina de Bruin. She responds as follows: “But it’s also good to learn what you don’t like. If you don’t fall, you won’t learn anything. If you think: this is not for me, he has the ambition to move on, to do something else. It’s also just a quest!”
The presenter then says again: “An advent calendar: sometimes you open a box and you are pleasantly surprised, and sometimes you think: ah, too bad.”
Well, Leonie now undoubtedly knows what Chantal means by that…
