The next morning, Xu Wangqiu took a car into the city and went to No. 10 North Street. Yesterday afternoon, he received a notice asking him to go to the ministry this morning, saying that Wang Lanxi asked him to report to work by name. Xu Wangqiu didn't know what Wang Lanxi was looking for him, the concert had only been held twice, and there was no basket, so he shouldn't report at this time!

It was not the first time that Xu Wangqiu had been to the ministry and knew where Wang Lanxi's office was. He went outside the office and spoke to the secretary. The secretary had seen Xu Wangqiu and knew that Wang Lanxi was waiting for him, so he knocked on the office door with him.

Wang Lanxi's office is very simple, with an ordinary desk and a few very ordinary chairs. There are no calligraphy and paintings on the walls, let alone luxurious decorations, just like the offices of many teachers in later generations.

Wang Lanxi was just finishing writing, and when he saw the secretary coming in with Xu Wangqiu, he immediately said to Xu Wangqiu with a straight face: "Do you know, because you held a concert in the new era, my phone was not cut off yesterday, and I was all looking for tickets." I can't do anything right, what do you think I should do?"

Yesterday, Nortel's phone rang for a day, and Xu Wangqiu was scolded by the school leaders for this. He never dreamed that all the calls asking for tickets would come to Wang Lanxi. However, he believed that Wang Lanxi would definitely not say this when he called him, and said with a hippie smile: "I have caused trouble to the leader, and I ask the leader to punish him." ”

"When it's time to punish you, I will punish you. Wang Lanxi pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Okay, you sit down and say." Xiao Liu, go make a cup of tea for this kid!"

Secretary Liu answered, went to the outside room to make tea, and thought to himself, Minister Wang seemed to be very strict with Xu Wangqiu, but he valued him very much in his heart, otherwise there was such a thing as making tea, where did he need to be personally ordered!

Xu Wangqiu was not polite, and sat down directly, waiting for Wang Lanxi to go down.

Waiting for Secretary Liu to bring the tea to Xu Wangqiu, Wang Lanxi opened his mouth and said: "You kid is really capable of tossing, I thought your concert was no different from an ordinary concert, but I didn't expect you to make such a big move." It's a newspaper again, and it's an advertisement, and it's all over the city. 35xs I don't even know how many calls I've gotten asking for tickets. ”

Xu Wangqiu said apologetically: "I've caused trouble to the leader." ”

Wang Lanxi waved his hand and said, "It's okay to trouble me, what I care about is the result." ”

Xu Wangqiu knew that Wang Lanxi was asking about the progress of the concert, so he briefly introduced it. The concert went very smoothly, and so far it has been performed twice, both of which have been very successful and won a full house, and Xie Fei contacted CCTV and filmed the concert last night. They made an appointment with CCTV to broadcast a live video of the concert during prime time during the Spring Festival.

The reason why Xu Wangqiu let CCTV shoot was mainly to advertise the concert. In the previous generation, only two new star concerts were held in Beiping, but they were broadcast to the whole country by CCTV and Central People's Radio, and soon set off a wave of pop music that swept the whole country and had far-reaching influence. With the help of TV and radio promotion, the records of the Rising Star Concert sold millions of copies, turning the originally loss-making Chinese record society into a profit.

However, the Beiping Evening News, the organizer of the Nova Concert, did not receive a penny, and the record club only wrote a letter of thanks to the newspaper. This is the case in this day and age, where there is no awareness of copyright at all. Xu Wangqiu will definitely not be stupid, it is impossible to let the record club record for free, so let Xu Wangchuan talk to the people in the record club and ask for 28 shares with the other party.

The record club did not agree to share at first, they were in a state of loss, and they were eager to break a penny in half and spend it, where would they be willing to share the account with others. Xu Wangchuan suggested that the boss of the record club go to the scene to have a look, and wait until he saw the effect. After watching the performance, the boss of the record club was shocked by the performance effect, and said directly to Xu Wangchuan: "Just according to what you say, we will split the account in 28!"

At the same time as the record club was secured, the sale of concert songbooks was also a great success. Xu Wangqiu asked the printing house to print 250,000 copies of the songbook, each with a price tag of five cents. Many people feel that printing too much and the price is too expensive, and it may not sell well. On the first day of the concert, the sales of the songbook were really not good, and more than 500 copies were sold, and many viewers felt that it was too much of a loss to buy the songbook.

The next afternoon, Nortel's school bus drove to the gymnasium. 35xs Liu Lin They moved the songbook from the car and set up a stall in front of the gymnasium. Liu Lin and the others thought that there were not many people buying songbooks like yesterday, but they soon found out that they were wrong. The bookstall was soon crowded with people, holding banknotes in their hands and frantically stuffing them into Liu Lin's hands. Because there were too many people, Liu Lin and the others couldn't tell who was who, so in order to avoid mistakes, they grabbed each other's hands with one hand and didn't let go, and picked up the songbook with the other hand and stuffed it into the other party's hand.

It didn't take long for Liu Lin and the others to sell out all the 5,000 songbooks they brought, and the school bus had to return to school and pull 20,000 copies again. That night, Liu Lin and the others sold more than 23,000 copies. Not only the audience who watched the show is buying, but the audience who has already seen the show is buying, and even many people who have not bought tickets are buying.

After a brief introduction to the concert, Xu Wangqiu said confidently: "If the concert can end smoothly, plus the sales revenue of records and songbooks, there should be more than 400,000 yuan." ”

Ahem, ahem, Wang Lanxi almost choked on the tea. He had read Nortel's application materials, which said that concerts could earn more than 200,000 yuan, but he didn't expect it to double now to more than 400,000 yuan. It is very difficult for other units to make money, but it seems that it is not a problem at all in Xu Wangqiu's place, and it is very easy. He stared at Xu Wangqiu and said speechlessly: "Although you kid can toss, the result of tossing is not bad." ”

Xu Wangqiu smiled and flattered: "The main thing is that the leadership is good. ”

Wang Lanxi smiled and said, "Okay, okay! Don't talk about such useless nonsense." Speaking of this, he paused, looked at Xu Wangqiu and said, "Do you know what I came to you today?"

Xu Wangqiu shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't know." ”

Wang Lanxi picked up the teacup, blew the foam, took a sip, and said slowly: "The report I wrote on the establishment of the China Film Export Company, and the leaders above gave instructions. There will be a special meeting on January 22 to discuss this. At that time, the leaders of the State Council, the Propaganda Department, the Ministry of Finance, the State Planning Commission, and other departments will attend. The State attaches great importance to this meeting. I called you here today to inform you of this meeting. You don't care about the concert, let Xie Fei and them do it, you can prepare well. ”

When Xu Wangqiu heard that the state was about to hold a meeting to discuss the establishment of a film export company, he couldn't believe his ears: "How can it be so fast, didn't you say that you would report to the above after you go to Cannes this year to sell films?"

Wang Lanxi chuckled: "At first, I planned to wait until today to sell films in Cannes, and then propose the establishment of a film export company, which is more convincing." I didn't expect the overseas copyright of "Hoe Rape" to sell so well, Xiangjiang's box office income, plus the copyright income of East Asia, Southeast Asia, and some socialist countries, do you know how much income it brings to the country?"

Xu Wangqiu thought for a while and said: "Dongying sold 800,000 US dollars, the box office in Xiangjiang is 520,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the income of Southern Pictures should be about 300,000 US dollars, plus the copyrights of Southeast Asia and South Korea, as well as the copyrights of socialist countries, it should exceed 2 million US dollars!"

Wang Lanxi heard Xu Wangqiu's analysis and nodded approvingly: "Yes, "Hoe Rape" earned $2.47 million abroad. If the rights in Europe and the Americas can be sold, then the income of "Hoe Rape" should be four or five million dollars, which is very convincing!"

Xu Wangqiu knows that if the film export company can really get started, then the history of Chinese films will be rewritten, and the wall of unified purchase and sales will be torn open. He very much wanted to attend this meeting, but it was the leaders of various ministries who attended this meeting, and he couldn't help but be a little worried: "Is it appropriate for me to participate in such a meeting?"

Wang Lanxi said with a smile: "Although you are young, you have a deep understanding of the film industry, and the idea of establishing a film export company is your suggestion, and "Hoe Rape" was filmed by you. Your opinion can be used as a reference for everyone, so don't worry. What do you think, say what you want when the time comes, don't worry to say it boldly. ”

Xu Wangqiu was relieved when he heard this: "I know, I will prepare well in the next few days." He suddenly remembered something, patted his thigh lightly, and said regretfully: "The last time I went to Xiangjiang, I asked the people from Southern Pictures to help me collect the data of Xiangjiang films in overseas markets, as well as the data of Indian films in overseas markets. I thought that the export company's affairs would wait until the second half of the year, and said that I would wait until the second half of the year to let Xu Dunyang send it to me, but I didn't expect to discuss the export company's affairs so soon. It's a pity that I didn't get the data of Xiangjiang and India, otherwise it would have been more convincing. ”

Wang Lanxi smiled and comforted: "Southern Pictures has always been responsible for the export of domestic films overseas, and they have a lot of say in this regard, and the person in charge of Southern Pictures will attend this meeting." ”

Xu Wangqiu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Now I am completely relieved." ”

Xu Wangqiu originally wanted to train Xu Wangchuan and let him accumulate contacts, but now he was busy with the meeting, so he confidently and boldly handed over the concert to Xie Fei and Xu Wangchuan.

Time flies, and soon it's the 21st. On this morning, Xu Wangchuan and Xie Fei took all the performers of the "Out of the New Era" concert on the train and rushed to Tianjin. Upon arrival in Tianjin, they spend the day getting acquainted with the venue and preparing for the performance. Next, they will perform five performances, and then go to the magic capital and Yangcheng for performances.

Xu Wangqiu did not go to the station to see off Xu Wangchuan and them, at this time he stood at the exit of the capital airport, holding a sign with the words "Xu Dunyang" written on it, while talking to Ding Jianming beside him, while observing the passengers who came out of it, and striving to find Xu Dunyu's figure as soon as possible.

At present, the domestic communication technology is very backward, and there is no cross-border cable laying and signal transmission at all. The domestic telephone does not even have a dial key, and the call needs to be shaken twice, and after connecting the switchboard, tell the operator the name of the unit and person you are looking for, and she will connect it, and it is impossible to make an international call.

Xu Wangqiu couldn't contact Xu Dunyu, and he didn't know if he had brought the information. As for how Xu Wangqiu knew about Xu Dunyang's plane schedule, it was Xu Dunyang who told the news to Shenzhen through Xinhua/She, and then Shenzhen informed Ding Jianming.

At this moment, Xu Wangqiu saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walking towards this side with a bag. The middle-aged man was wearing a white suit, which stood out in a patch of blue and black. It's none other than Xu Dunyang, the boss of Southern Pictures. Xu Wangqiu showed a happy expression and waved vigorously at Xu Dunyu: "Mr. Xu, we are here!"
