Chapter 133 Settlement
Xu Wangchuan got off the train, talked to Xie Fei and walked towards the exit of the station. He suddenly heard someone shouting his name, looked up, and saw Xu Wangqiu waving at him at the exit of the station. Although it was far away, he could see the bright smile on Xu Wangqiu's face. Xu Wangchuan said hello to Xie Fei, and the two of them quickened their pace and walked towards Xu Wangqiu.
Liu Lin and Zhang Yimou also saw Xu Wangqiu, and they all walked over quickly. Liu Lin's job is to sell songbooks, and the actors have performed in Tianjin, Modu and Yangcheng, and they have followed them all the way.
Xu Wangqiu greeted him with a smile: "You guys are finally back." How's it going, is the show going well?"
Xu Wangchuan nodded with a smile and said: "It went very well, the performance was full, and many people couldn't buy tickets, so they came to us and suggested that we add a show." ”
Xu Wangqiu looked at Xu Wangchuan's clothes, they were all new clothes, and they were relatively trendy, and said with a smile: "Looking at your clothes, I guessed it." If the show is not successful, it will definitely not be dressed in fancy clothes. These clothes look quite trendy, they are definitely not produced by garment factories in the mainland, they should be smuggled goods bought in Yangcheng, right?"
Xu Wangchuan gave a thumbs up and said, "It is indeed a smuggled goods bought in Yangcheng." ”
Liu Lin turned around, showed the back of the denim jacket to Xu Wangqiu, and said triumphantly: "My dress is an American brand, how about it, it looks good, right?"
Xu Wangqiu looked at the apple pattern that he took a bite of, and laughed: "I know, it's an apple." ”
Liu Lin said proudly: "Yes, Apple, I heard that it is very famous in the United States." ”
Xu Wangqiu thought to himself that the United States has Apple brand clothes, but the logo is not this, this is the logo of Apple computers, but he didn't want to sweep Liu Lin's interest, and said with a chuckle: "Okay, everyone is wearing American famous brands, and those who don't know still think you are overseas Chinese." You should have spent about the same amount of money, right?"
Liu Lin nodded and said, "Basically, there is no money left." Yangcheng is close to Xiangjiang, and there are a lot of smuggled things, all kinds of commodities, which is simply eye-opening. Those smuggled goods are beautiful and cheap, and basically everyone buys them. Lao Gu and I just spent all the subsidies, like Lao Mou, like Lao Wu, who dragged his family with his family, not only spent his own money, but also borrowed a lot. ”
At this moment, Li Guyi and the others all walked over and greeted Xu Wangqiu with a smile. Participating in this performance, they not only got excellent performance opportunities, many of them also had their own songs, and more importantly, everyone got a lot of income.
Song and dance troupe actors, like film studio actors, all receive a fixed salary. Xu Wangqiu borrowed people from the song and dance troupe, and they didn't need to pay the actors, they only needed to pay four times the salary to the song and dance troupe. However, according to the regulations, actors perform this kind of evening performance, and each person has a snack subsidy of three cents.
Xie Fei and the others all suggested that the subsidy should be given according to this standard, but Xu Wangqiu felt that the subsidy was too little. He asked the person in charge of the Capital Gymnasium how much the subsidy could be given. The other party told him that the American synchronized swimming team came to perform last year, and the subsidy was 10 yuan per performance. Xu Wangqiu said to Xie Fei that the whole performance was supported by the actors, who worked hard and gave them a subsidy of ten yuan according to the highest standard, and two yuan for the others. Xie Fei felt that Xu Wangqiu's words made sense, so he agreed.
Li Guyi's salary is only more than 40 yuan, and young actors like Zheng Xulan and Ren Yan are even lower. When participating in the concert, each of them received a subsidy of 200 yuan, equivalent to a few months' salary, and they were naturally very grateful to Xu Wangqiu. Some people even kept saying to Xu Wangqiu that they must call him for such a performance in the future.
Xu Wangqiu and Xu Wangchuan glanced at each other and agreed with a smile. That's what he wants. With the experience of this performance, it was difficult for them to refuse when Xu Wangchuan invited them to go to the cave at a higher price.
After chatting with Li Guyi and them for a few words, everyone waved goodbye, and Xu Wangqiu and they took the car back to Nortel.
Along the way, Liu Lin kept talking about all kinds of interesting things about their experiences, what predecessors in the literary and artistic circles of the magic capital came to the backstage combination, and the leaders of the province and city came to condole and so on.
The performances of the "Into the New Era" concert in Tianjin, Modu and Yangcheng caused a huge sensation and were even more successful than Xu Wangqiu imagined. At the end of each actor's performance, the audience will clap wildly and shout "one more song". The one who sings the most is Guo Lanying. In the most performances, she sang eight songs.
It didn't take long for Xu Wangqiu and them to return to Nortel, Liu Lin didn't seem to have said enough, and pulled Xu Wangqiu to continue. Xu Wangchuan opened the bag, took out a denim jacket from the bag and threw it to Xu Wangqiu: "I saw a piece of clothing and thought it was good, so I bought it for you." ”
Xu Wangqiu glanced at the apple logo on his clothes, but he really couldn't arouse his interest, so he said: "I don't like denim clothes, so you should wear them yourself." ”
Xu Wangchuan said with a smile: "I bought it, my father, mother and little sister both bought it." ”
Xu Wangqiu was slightly stunned, and immediately asked, "Where did you get so much money, you won't embezzle public funds, right?"
"How is it possible, do you think I'm such a stupid person? This money was borrowed from the treasury and made an IOU. Xu Wangchuan winked at Xu Wangqiu and said, "But I don't have any money now, you can help me put the money on first, and then I will pay you back when I earn money in the future." ”
Xu Wangqiu knew that Xu Wangchuan was saying that I don't have any money now, but when I start to go to the cave, I will be able to make money soon, you help me put the money on first, and chuckled: "No problem, every day we go to the finance and return the money." Now that the concert is over, it's time to go home. It's been three months since you've been here, and my sister-in-law must miss you. ”
Without waiting for Xu Wangchuan to speak, Liu Lin said very gossipy: "Wangqiu, you may not know that Zheng Xulan seems to be interesting to your brother." She is enthusiastic about your brother, she always likes to talk to your brother when she has nothing to do, and she also asks your brother to give her reference when she buys clothes. I said to help her come up with ideas, but she didn't pay any attention to me. ”
Xu Wangchuan immediately exploded when he heard this: "What are you talking about, I am friends with her, and I am not interesting to her." ”
Xu Wangchuan is good-looking, and he is also the nominal lyricist of several songs such as "When That Day Comes" and "Where the Peach Blossoms Bloom", and he is a lyricist in the eyes of others. It's quite normal for a singing girl to take a fancy to him. If it was ten years from now, it wouldn't be a big deal if it happened. However, it is now 80 years, and it is only three years before the strike hard, because there are many people who are planted in the strike hard because of the problem of men and women, and Xu Wangqiu does not want his eldest brother to be planted in this kind of thing.
But this kind of thing can only be said in private, and it must not be said in front of so many people. Now he must protect his eldest brother's face: "My brother is a talent, and it's normal for a girl to like it." When my brother was a soldier in the army, he could have been promoted, but the daughter of the head of the army took a fancy to him and took the initiative to pursue him. That girl is actually good-looking, but my brother thinks that people have a bad temper, so this thing didn't work out. The chief was angry, so he asked my brother to get out, and he just returned to the show studio. ”
When Liu Lin and the others heard this, the flames of gossip immediately burned: "Brother Wangchuan, I didn't expect you to have such a thing, tell us about it!", "Yes, tell us how the daughter of the head of the army chased you." "It's awesome to refuse the chief's daughter!"
Xu Wangchuan thought to himself that Wangqiu's nonsense itself was really a set, I wanted to find the daughter of the head of the army, but people wanted to look up to me, but Xu Wangqiu's cattle had already been blown, and he couldn't be demolished as an elder brother, so he said: "There's nothing to say, I just don't feel it." I can't just because she's the daughter of the head of the army, and I obviously don't like her, and I still have a relationship with her! I'm not the kind of person who tends to be inflammatory. As long as I don't like it, it's the daughter of the head of the Central Committee, and I won't talk about it. ”
Liu Lin and the others believed it and gave a thumbs up: "Brother Wangchuan, you are awesome." ”
The next morning, Liu Lin and the others went to the station to buy train tickets and prepare to go home for the New Year. Xu Wangqiu and Xu Wangchuan came to the school's finance department to count the income and expenditure of the concert with Xie Fei and the school's financial staff.
According to Xu Wangqiu's concept, the income of "entering the new era" music is roughly divided into three parts: ticket income, income from song book sales, and record sales account. The record has not yet been released, and the income now is mainly from tickets and songbooks.
Ticket revenue is the bulk of the concert, and Yangcheng has the highest ticket revenue. This is mainly because Yangcheng belongs to the ten categories of wages, which is higher than Beiping and Mo, and the tickets are naturally more expensive. However, the actors and bands went to Yangcheng to perform, and the cost of food and accommodation was a lot, and in the end, it was the five performances in Beiping that were the most profitable. After removing all kinds of related expenses, the profit of these 20 performances was 147,000 yuan, which was less than expected.
A total of 250,000 copies of the songbook were printed and all of them were sold out. In fact, the song book was already sold out when it was performed in the magic capital. They originally wanted Xu Wangqiu to contact the printing house to add printing, but considering that printing, binding, and then shipping to Yangcheng, it would not be possible to do it in ten days and half a month, and it was too late in time, so they could only give up regrettably. Otherwise, it would not be a problem to sell an additional 50,000 or 60,000 copies.
But even so, after selling these 250,000 songbooks, he still made a lot of money.
The price of the songbook is five cents, and the cost is less than a dime, and 25 copies of the songbook were sold, earning a full 100,000 yuan.
The two incomes are added together, and the income of the entire "Into the New Era" concert is earned, nearly 250,000.
Before the concert, Xie Fei knew that the concert would be able to earn hundreds of thousands, but when he really saw the settlement figures, he was still deeply shocked.
The concert began to be prepared in early December and has ended now, and it has only taken more than two months to earn nearly 250,000 yuan.
The record has not come out yet, and if the record sales can meet expectations, it can still be divided into 200,000.
In addition to being shocked, Xie Fei was more excited in his heart. He held concerts to raise money for his films, and he had no idea of making a profit for himself through concerts. Now that he has earned nearly 250,000 yuan from the concert, the biggest reaction in his heart is that the funding for "Our Field" has been solved!
Xie Fei looked at Xu Wangqiu and said excitedly: "Wangqiu, thank you so much." If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know where to find the money, and I don't know when "Our Field" would be filmed. Now, I can shoot boldly with confidence. ”
Xu Wangqiu smiled and waved his hand, and said sincerely: "This is what I should do." If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to direct "The Rape", and when people heard that I was a student, they wouldn't have talked to me at all. It may take three or four years until I graduate from Nortel and am assigned to a film studio before I have the opportunity to direct. ”
Xie Fei shook his head and said, "I didn't help at all. Even if I don't help, you'll figure it out. For my films, you can think of making money through concerts to raise money for your own films, how could you not think of that? So, thank you for that. ”
