Section 304:
After the Song family tossed for so long, the sky outside had already darkened.
Seeing that the time was not early, and the matter had been settled, Shen Huan planned to leave. Before leaving, he went to the living room first, picked up the bag he had brought with him, opened it, took out two large books from it, and then walked to the dining room and put it in front of Song Yi.
"This is the script, and this is a character biography I wrote specifically for you, read it when you have nothing to do, and it's best to read it all before you start it. ”
At the moment when Shen Huan's TV series had just finished the first round and the new online album had just been released, people thought that his next energy would be all focused on this album.
No way, no money.
With the implementation of the Internet copyright legislation, Guanghui Cloud Music, which has already stepped on this battlefield, will be a very bottomless pit of burning money next, and he doesn't know if he can survive his money for half a year, so he must make more money. For Shen Huan, there are only a few channels for money: Dream Factory, music studio, literary creation and publishing.
Don't count on DreamWorks, this company is also in its infancy, under the auspices of Chen Jiakang, it is good to make a small profit now, and don't expect large-scale money. And DreamWorks' current largest income has to be recalculated to Shen Huan himself, that is, the second-round broadcast copyright of "Latent".
The second round of "Latent" was finally negotiated and authorized to several star satellite TV for simultaneous simulcasting, with a total price of 750,000 episodes, which is even higher than the selling price of the first round, although it is not unique in the history of Chinese TV dramas, it is also very rare.
But this total of more than 20 million is of any use to Guanghuiyun Music, which needs to invest a lot of financial resources?
The Internet is an extremely money-burning industry, and at the moment when several companies are crazy about the copyright war, the 20 million thrown into it will burn a penny in less than a month, which really doesn't play a big role.
A few dramas that DreamWorks has invested in can be expected. Although DreamWorks, under the leadership of Chen Jiakang, is now following a small and streamlined investment style, and it stands to reason that the output income cannot be expected to be too high, but maybe there will be a super dark horse with millions of dollars and a billion box office?
But Shen Huan thought about it, and still felt that he didn't dream.
Whether it is this world or another world in the history of the world he once lived, with countless film and television works as the basis, such cases are unique, and it is too many to count them on one hand. It is better to expect such a pie to fall on his head, than to expect him to win hundreds of millions of jackpots.
So on the DreamWorks side, don't expect too much.
In terms of music studios, there are some moves, that is, the current music album, but this album is more important for long-term strategic significance, and it is unrealistic to expect money from above to feed Guanghuiyun Music: according to the information reported to Shen Huan over there, as of yesterday, the gross income generated from the sales of the song "It's Been Quiet" is only more than 90,000, and there is no 100,000. There are even fewer people who are willing to buy "One Hundred Love Letters to Joe" directly, and the number of people is not even 5,000, but because the price of a one-time purchase is relatively high, the gross income is much higher than that of a single song, more than 520,000.
But it's still a few.
Compared with the money that Shen Huan keeps burning on Guanghuiyun Music, these hundreds of thousands are simply a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning.
This proves that at the beginning of the new consumption model of "paying to buy online music", it is indeed difficult, and there is a reason why the vast majority of people are reluctant to be the first to enter. With the arrival of May 1st, this situation should improve, and sales in all aspects should also increase, but it is estimated that the increase will not be too much, and it will definitely not reach the level of relying on this album to feed back Guanghuiyun Music.
Of course, these were all things that Shen Huan had been mentally prepared for, so he was not in a hurry.
This is also part of his "money burning plan".
DreamWorks can't count on it, and there is no hope in the music studio for the time being, and the rest is literary creation and publishing.
The income in this area is even less.
The sales of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" are indeed very good, and several peers have expressed to Shen Huan their intention to buy the copyright of film and television adaptations, but the income that Shen Huan can share from it is only a few million or more than a few million on his fingers, and it is not Shen Huan's in the early 10 million.
According to Shen Huan's promise, all the income he earned from "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" will be used for charity and education, if he doesn't want to risk being punctured and selling dog meat on his head and bankrupting his reputation, then the money has nothing to do with him.
And for the sake of 10 million, to take such a big risk, it is obviously not worth it for Shen Huan now.
Although "Ghost Blows the Lantern" can't be counted on, "Shen Huan's Anthology" is a new income point.
Shen Huan's show half a month ago amazed the whole country, and afterwards, many publishing houses expressed great interest in his poems and songs, and gave various preferential conditions to cooperate with him in publishing.
Of course, Shen Huan had no reason to refuse this kind of thing that could be famous and profitable, and finally chose Chunchao Publishing House, which had a basis for cooperation with him, to cooperate in this regard. With the cooperation of the two parties, "Shen Huan's Anthology" will indeed be listed soon, and the sales are expected to be very impressive, after all, this thing has not only Shen Huan made a super big advertisement in front, but also has its own solid quality as the bottom, so it doesn't have to worry about selling well.
But it's best not to expect much profit from it.
According to Shen Huan's estimate, more than 10 million and 20 million royalties are sky-high, right? After all, in this world, poetry collections are not easy to sell, and normal people who have nothing to do to buy a poetry collection to read?
Even if it is more than 10 million, Shen Huan has let go of his courage to think about it, and this is still based on the premise of a long sales time.
Therefore, there is basically not much hope for literary creation and publishing.
There is no way to generate the large profits that Shen Huan wants, so he can only put his thoughts on the movie.
For Shen Huan now, movies are undoubtedly the most lucrative industry, with millions of investments, and hundreds of millions of dollars in income in a blink of an eye, which is enough for Guanghuiyun Music to burn for a year, right?
Of course, this is also based on the fact that the quality of his films is good enough to be able to create such miracles.
Shen Huan is still somewhat confident in this point, after all, he has already had two successful experiences in the field of TV dramas, which gives him a lot of confidence.
……
Song pulled his eyelids down, glanced at the two big books on the table, and asked, "When will it be turned on?"
Shen Huan said: "If everything goes well, it will be able to be turned on next month, and at the latest, it should be able to be turned on in June, leaving you a lot of time." ”
The amount of time it takes for an actor to go from being exposed to a script to being able to actually engage in the performance varies depending on the role and actor in the play.
In order to figure out a good role, some actors can spend several years to experience life and study their personalities, some actors get the script today and can be on the plane tomorrow, and some actors don't even have a script and go directly to the machine - this situation sounds a little incredible today, but it was not uncommon in the former Xiangjiang film boom.
And with Shen Huan's evaluation of this role and Song Yi, half a month is enough for her to master this role. After all, this is not a serious drama movie with depth, just a comedy, the characters are not complicated, and it is not difficult for Song Yi to perform.
"The only caveat is that this is a comedy, and from what I understand, it's a genre that you haven't been exposed to. ”
Song Yi didn't speak, didn't nod, just was silent, but Shen Huan knew that this was her unique default way, so he continued to say to himself: "I'm worried that you may take a detour and deliberately exaggerate to act, so I'll give you a preventive shot in advance, how to act, or how to act, as for whether you can achieve a comedic effect, then leave it to me." I also made a lot of annotations on this point, and you will also see it when you read the script and the short biography. ”
Song Yi continued to be silent, meaning that she knew.
Shen Huan saw that everything he wanted to convey had been delivered, so he was about to say goodbye and leave, but Song Yi suddenly spoke up at this time.
"Your new album is good. ”
Shen Huan was stunned, and his head, which was originally looking at the sky outside, also twisted back and looked at Song Yi.
"'It's Been Quiet' and 'Light Chaser' are good. ”
Song Yi didn't even look at Shen Huan, just looked at the script on the table in front of her, opened her mouth and said, said a word, closed her mouth, and then said another sentence.
If the deaf person was to see it, he wouldn't even be able to figure out whether she was talking to Shen Huan or talking to herself.
“…… Thank you. ”
Shen Huan didn't know what Song Yi was doing when he suddenly said this, and he didn't know how to respond at once, so he had to politely thank him.
What's wrong with her?
Or does she really like her album?
Shen Huan couldn't figure it out.
As for the song "Light Chaser" mentioned by Song Yi, it is the second song launched in Shen Huan's "One Hundred Love Letters to Joe".
On the third day of the release of "Always Quiet", this "Light Chaser" was directly launched.
Such a speed of releasing songs has naturally caused a heated discussion among the media and netizens, who have speculated whether the next songs in Shen Huan's album will continue this speed, maintaining a frequency of one song every two days and constantly releasing new songs?
If that's the case, with this kind of singing speed, wouldn't Shen Huan almost achieve the incredible feat of "having new songs to listen to every day"?
This speculation made the media exclaim and deny it one after another, thinking that it was unlikely, and Shen Huan's fans were excited and extremely looking forward to it.
For them, having Shen Huan's new songs to listen to every day is really the happiest thing in the world. And Shen Huan has also proved with his practical actions that the quality of his album is as stable as ever, which can be seen from the two songs that have been released so far.
They are looking forward to it.
……
"You're singing so fast,"
Song Yi said two sentences one by one, then said another sentence, and then closed his mouth again, and after a few seconds, when Shen Huan thought that she had forgotten what she wanted to say, she said the next sentence: "Do you still have time to film?"
"Time is like cleavage, there will always be a squeeze. ”
Shen Huan casually ripped around, retracted the steps he had already prepared to leave, pulled out a chair, and sat down beside her again.
Song Yi seemed to have something to say to him, but he looked like he was leaving, which was really not good.
“……”
Song Yi continued to be silent, but in the next second, Shen Huan saw her suddenly bow her head slightly, as if she was glancing at her own chest.
This made Shen Huan stunned suddenly, and then inexplicably surged with an urge to burst into laughter.
She's so stupid, it's quite cute, and it's fun to watch.
Song Yi didn't speak, and Shen Huan didn't speak, just waited patiently, and after waiting for a while, Song Yi finally spoke again.
"When is the next song coming out?"
Has she really become a fan of herself?
Shen Huan couldn't figure it out, but replied: "It's already done, and it will be sent tomorrow." ”
"Who's Joe?"
Song Yi asked this question quickly, almost after Shen Huan had just finished answering her. And the twist of this question is really a bit big, and the sharp turn makes Shen Huan a little caught off guard.
Didn't you just ask about music? Why did you suddenly turn in the direction of this gossip?
Then Shen Huan finally understood.
In addition to being a foodie, this lazy guy seems to have a strong gossip heart.
"It's not anyone, you can understand it as an unknown X-like existence,"
After Shen Huan figured this out, he explained to her: "The main purpose is to promote marketing, just like you will be interested in who 'Joe' is, many people will be interested in this and want to explore, and then the topic and popularity will rise, and the media reports in the past two days have proved that this trick is very effective......"
Shen Huan is not a person who likes to show affection, he thinks that feelings are a very personal matter, and there is no need to make it known to everyone. This time, if it weren't for Dong Qiao, he really couldn't help it, he wouldn't have made such a big fuss.
The same is true now.
He felt that his private feelings didn't need to be explained so clearly to an outsider like Song Yi, so he directly prevaricated with a reason.
"It's time for you to go. ”
Before Shen Huan could finish speaking, Song Yi suddenly interrupted him.
Shen Huan was stunned again and looked at her.
Song Yi stood up from his chair and looked at him, as if he wondered why he looked at himself like this, "Aren't you leaving? ”
“……”
No, eldest sister, I really can't keep up with your brain circuit.
Shen Huan always thought that his thinking was wild enough, but he found that he had encountered a fierce opponent.
"I'm going to play games, remember to close the door. ”
As Song Yi spoke, he walked out of the restaurant directly, walked towards her study, and left Shen Huan here alone.
Shen Huan looked at the sky speechlessly, and after a long while, he sighed, shook his head, and got up to leave.
