Chapter 21: New Books Released

The heavy course lasted for three days in a row, and Shen You began to gradually adapt to this rhythm.

On Sunday morning, on the way to Professor Chen's house, Shen You received a call from Yao Yumin.

"Hehe, congratulations to Boss Shen, your novel "Farewell My Concubine" will be officially released at nine o'clock this morning. ”

"Really? Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Yao. ”

Only more than two weeks before and after, "Farewell My Concubine" was officially published and sold, and Shen You could also see that Yao Yumin and the Literature and Art Publishing House attached great importance to his work.

Fortunately, He Ling has already done a good job in the relevant publicity plan before, and took advantage of the popularity of Shen Yuelou's successful participation in the singer program broadcast the day before yesterday, and he was not afraid that no one would pay attention to him when he released the book at this time.

After talking to Yao Yumin on the phone, Shen You posted a message on Shen Yuelou's Weibo that "Farewell My Concubine" was about to be released, and then continued to indulge in learning.

Not long after Shen Yuelou posted on Weibo, the publicity plan previously formulated by the Literature and Art Publishing House also began to be implemented.

The front page of "Yanjing Times" published a news: Shen Yuelou, a famous singer in Liyuan, first set foot in the literary world, and her debut novel "Farewell My Concubine" was released nationwide at 9 o'clock today.

"Wen Wei Po" has many well-known literary critics commenting on "Farewell My Concubine", all of which are praised.

Xu Zidong, a well-known scholar and famous literary critic, also posted an article on his column about the appreciation of "Farewell My Concubine".

A prosperous ...... drowning in the old days

Pei Qingfeng wrote the preface, Yao Yumin edited it, and the famous Dou Wentao recommended it, you deserve it.

After some overwhelming publicity, "Farewell My Concubine" was launched for three days, with a total of 270,000 copies sold, and on the third day, with 98,000 copies sold, it directly climbed to the twelfth place on the Chinese bestseller list that day.

……

Shaanzhou Film and Television City, the crew of "Chang'an Night".

"Click, okay, this is over. ”

In front of the director's camera, Chen Jiang watched the effect, picked up the walkie-talkie and said to the actors: "Everyone has worked hard, today's scene is here, let's go back and rest." ”

"Thank you, Director Chen. ”

Hearing Chen Jiang's words, all the actors cheered and began to end in an orderly manner.

When the actors were gone, Chen Jiang commanded the drama to inspect the filming venue again. After confirming that there were no safety hazards, he was about to leave, when he suddenly noticed a missing book by the wall.

Looking around, seeing that the drama affairs were all gone, Chen Jiang had to pick up the book, take it back to his residence, and ask who left it tomorrow.

Back at his residence, Chen Jiang held the book in his hand, only to see a photo of a man in Tsing Yi printed on the cover, and the title of the book was "Farewell My Concubine".

"The work of the famous singer Shen Yuelou. ”

Seeing that it was an opera theme, Chen Jiang immediately read it carefully with curiosity.

"Bitches are ruthless, and the drama is unrighteous.

……”

Time flies, and before I know it, the sky is already dark, and Chen Jiang actually watched "Farewell My Concubine" all night.

After a sleepless night, not only did he not feel sleepy at all, but he felt a burst of surprise in his heart.

That's the movie I'm going to make, that's the story I'm going to tell.

Cheng Dieyi, Duan Xiaolou......

Picking up the phone, he called producer Xie Jin.

If it doesn't work once, call again......

Finally, when he dialed in on the seventh time, he heard someone on the other side go crazy: "Chen Jiang, you are a psychotic when you step on a horse, what time is it now, half past four, do you know what time Lao Tzu slept yesterday? Two o'clock, if you continue like this, Lao Tzu will be made into a nervous breakdown by you sooner or later." ”

After Xie Jin finished venting, Chen Jiang smiled: "Now sober up, do me a favor, I saw a book today, and I want its film adaptation rights." ”

After Chen Jiang finished talking about the title and author of the book, Xie Jin was speechless and said: "Just for this little thing, you have to wake me up in the middle of the night, you must have done it on purpose." ”

"It's no small thing. ”

Chen Jiang didn't have the slightest intention of joking: "Shen Yuelou's "Farewell My Concubine", you must get the film adaptation rights of this book, at any cost." ”

Hearing what Chen Jiang said so solemnly, Xie Jin couldn't help but ask curiously: "Old Chen, this "Farewell My Concubine" is really as good as you said,

Didn't you say that this was just Shen Yuelou's first novel? He was an actor, not a professional writer. ”

"Well, I don't understand it when I tell you.

Forget it, it's still unreliable to leave this matter to you.

You help me book a ticket back to Yanjing, and I'll talk to Boss Shen in person. ”

Xie Jin was surprised: "Wocao, Lao Chen, aren't you serious? You won't shoot "Chang'an Night", this is a big investment of hundreds of millions of yuan, and you will lose hundreds of thousands of yuan for a day's delay?"

Chen Jiang said: "Don't worry, I am determined to win "Farewell My Concubine", and it won't take long to come and go." ”

"Okay, I'll book you a ticket. ”

……

"Boss, what do you think of here? This is the office area, this is the leisure area, I rented two floors, a total of more than 400 square meters, and the monthly rent is only 100,000 yuan. ”

"Well, it's not bad. ”

Classes were closed on Tuesday, and He Ling took Shen You to visit the studio he had just rented.

As soon as they arrived at the office area, more than a dozen staff members immediately stood up and shouted to Shen You in unison: "Hello boss." ”

"Hello. ”

Shen You chuckled and nodded, and under He Ling's introduction, he got to know the finance, legal affairs, publicity brokerage, administration, and life assistants of Shen Yuelou's studio......

With these people, the basic framework of a star studio can be regarded as a preliminary formation.

"The boss is so handsome. ”

"Much more handsome than Xu Chen. ”

"I heard Sister He say that the boss took "The Last Emperor". ”

……

In the whispers of everyone, Shen You walked into the innermost office.

"What does the boss think of them?"

Shen You said with a smile: "It's all pretty good, since I handed over the recruitment of the studio to you, I naturally believe in your vision." ”

"Thank you owner for your trust. ”

He Ling smiled, took out the business license of Shen Yuelou's studio, the financial approval report and a bunch of invoices and said to Shen You: "These are my expenses these days, including office rent, recruitment fees, etc., and I also ask the boss to sign for reimbursement." ”

After taking the financial statements, Shen You shook his head with a smile: "You still need to ask me about this, didn't I hand over all the three million salaries to you?"

He Ling said seriously: "I don't dare to abuse this money, every one of them must be approved by you."

And, as the studio gets on the right track and the amount of money involved gets bigger and bigger, you'll have to pay more attention to the financial approvals. ”

"With this move, you can maintain your innocence in Xu Chen's tax-related affairs, and there is naturally no problem with your character, of course I believe you." ”

Shen You picked up the pen and signed directly on the document handed by He Ling.

Holding the document signed by Shen You, He Ling's heart was full of emotion.

After thirteen years of work, this is the first time she feels the complete trust of others.

After talking about the studio for a while, He Ling helped Shen You calculate the accounts again.

The actor of "The Last Emperor" is paid 3 million, and it costs 870,000 yuan to buy a car and hang a set.

The registered capital of Shen Yuelou's studio is 2 million, the rent of the studio costs 720,000, and the salaries of more than a dozen employees, roughly calculated, are also more than 200,000.

Coupled with other miscellaneous expenses, the studio will not be able to sustain it soon.

He Ling smiled and said, "Boss, can our group of people all point to you for dinner?"

Shen You said helplessly: "What do you mean, do you think I have too many days off a week, and you want to give me some more notices?"
