Chapter 454: Abundant Income

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, this big bustle in Dazhai Village has made many people who are fortunate enough to witness it still talk about it. However, the initiator of the incident has already returned to Beijing and continues to start his new journey of struggle.

At the beginning of the year, Liu Yufan, who was working on the first day, received a piece of good news.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" was a big hit as expected, and in just one New Year, it actually set a total box office of more than 800 million worldwide. This achievement directly dropped a bombshell in the global film industry! Those foreign film companies shouted "The wolf is coming!" ”。 In contrast, the domestic film industry is jubilant. Chinese films have been looked down upon by those foreign film companies for many years, and this time, Lao Mouzi is a good breath of relief.

Of course, the happiest person is Lao Mouzi. After this big gamble, Lao Mouzi has completed a gorgeous upgrade as a director. Now he is definitely worthy of the title of "internationally renowned director". Although it can't be compared with Spielberg and other god-level directors, it can be regarded as a person who has made a name in Hollywood. It is said that "Pirates of the Caribbean" is likely to compete for the "Grammy" award, the biggest international award of the year. If he can really win the championship, Lao Mouzi will become the first Chinese to scoop this award.

In the past few days, Lao Mouzi will wake up laughing even from a dream. And now, he can't forget this young man who once gave him the greatest help - Liu Yufan. It was this young man in his early twenties who made him achieve such a miracle with a fantastical script. These two days. Lao Mouzi will call to harass Liu Yufan if he has nothing to do. After learning the news that he had returned from his hometown, he even threw away all entertainment and rushed to his company non-stop.

The old man has not arrived. Laughter comes first. The trademark hoarseness with a hearty laugh reached Liu Yufan's ears far away through the office door.

"Haha. Yu Fan, you have been idle this year, I heard that you went back to your hometown to hide Qingjing? Hehe, I really will enjoy it, unlike me, an old man, who is in his fifties and has to run east and west, even the Chinese New Year's Eve is spent outside. Lao Mouzi pushed the door in, and sat down on the sofa with a big grin. He took a sip of the tea that had been prepared, and said with a loud laugh.

"Hehe, I can't compare to you Director Zhang, you are now a world-class director, and you should be busy. I'm just the owner of a small company, so I naturally have more free time than you. Liu Yufan quipped. After this cooperation with Lao Mouzi, everyone is an old acquaintance. When Liu Yufan talked to him, he naturally didn't have so many rules, and he was very casual.

"Haha, Yufan, you also laughed at me." Lao Mouzi pointed at Liu Yufan with his finger. He said with a smile as he lit it.

The two chatted for a while, and then Lao Mouzi said with a smile: "Yu Fan, I made a special trip to give you the remuneration for the script today, guess how much?" Lao Mouzi looked at Liu Yufan and said mysteriously.

"How much, I can't guess." Liu Yufan looked at Lao Mouzi's mysterious expression, smiled and shook his head. He knew that "Pirates of the Caribbean" had a miracle at the box office, but he didn't know exactly how much. After all, he is not a professional filmmaker. Lao Mouzi once said that he would give him a 30% share of box office revenue. However, he still doesn't know what the concept of 30 percent is.

"Hehe, forget it, I won't let you guess, Xiao Xie, you can give the check to Yufan." Lao Mouzi said, and said to a young girl sitting next to him. Looking like that, it should be Lao Mouzi's secretary or assistant or something. However, Liu Yufan noticed that this Xiao Xie didn't seem to be the one he saw last time, but Liu Yufan just smiled and didn't break it. has been in the entertainment industry for so long, and Liu Yufan has gradually understood some unspoken rules. There are some things that are better if you don't see them. …,

"Mr. Liu, here's your check for the box office split." Secretary Xie stepped forward respectfully, handed the check in his hand to Liu Yufan, and looked at him curiously. This young man is so young, even seems to be a few years younger than himself. But he is still working as a secretary for others, but now he is already the chairman of a company with a net worth of tens of millions. This young man is really amazing!

At this time, Liu Yufan just nodded politely at Secretary Xie, smiled, and looked at the check in his hand with some curiosity. He is more or less a rich man now, although he knows that the number on the check will definitely not be less, but he will not show an impatient expression.

It's just that when he landed his eyes on the check, he suddenly breathed a little harder.

"Eighty million!" Looking at this number, Liu Yufan exclaimed! This amount of income has far exceeded his previous psychological expectations! He didn't expect that a movie would allow him to earn such a high income. You know, the total assets of his entire company are only more than 50 million. And he earned such a high income just by writing a script. This film industry is really profitable!

Seeing that Liu Yufan's face finally showed a shocked expression, Lao Mouzi had a smug smile on his face. During the period of time with Liu Yufan, this guy has always looked confident, and rarely sees his surprised expression, which makes Lao Mouzi very unhappy. was originally a hairy boy, but he always looked like he was "under control", which made him embarrassed by this old man. Now, seeing that Liu Yufan has finally been tricked, Lao Mouzi's heart is proud.

"Director Zhang, how can there be so many of this~~?" Liu Yufan asked incredulously. You know, he only gets 30 percent, and it's 30 percent of the film company's net income. You must know that the film company still has to share the account with the theater chain. This layer of down, and finally to myself, there will be so many? So, how much revenue does the film generate?

Liu Yufan just made a simple conversion in his heart, and came up with a number that surprised him.

"Hehe, that's right, Yufan, do you know how much money this movie made in the end?" Looking at Liu Yufan's surprised look, Lao Mouzi said ostentatiously.

"I don't know much about this~~ How many are there, I'm afraid of hundreds of millions." Liu Yufan looked at Lao Mouzi and asked tentatively. After all, the box office has exceeded 700 million, and this final income must be indispensable.

"Hehe, let me tell you, although the final result has not yet been counted, but the data we have now is 860 million, US dollars!" Lao Mouzi sincerely wanted to shock Liu Yufan, and deliberately put the last number very seriously.

"Hiss~~" Hearing this number, Liu Yufan gasped! Just one movie earned 860 million dollars! The speed of making money is too fast, it's just a money grab!

"Of course, the theater chain has to divide more than 40 percent, plus the pre-production and post-publicity of the film, so the final net profit is definitely not so much, but this result is not bad." Lao Mouzi said with a smile. But looking at his smug look, I knew that what he was thinking in his heart was definitely not "good", but "good." ”

That's right, in terms of this string of numbers alone, no matter what any director, is enough to be proud and proud! Lao Mouzi himself also scooped up enough rich returns, even more than Liu Yufan. Of course, in terms of normal procedures, a director cannot get such a huge income. But who made this film his investment? For this movie, Lao Mouzi gambled almost all of his belongings, and I have to say that he is quite crazy. But the crazy investment has also brought him crazy income, and this big gamble is the most successful one since Lao Mouzi started filming. It is no exaggeration to say that after this battle, even if Lao Mouzi quits the film industry now, this income will be enough for him to live the rest of his life without worrying about food and clothing. …,

Gently scooping up the check, Liu Yufan's heart also swelled with ecstasy. After all, this is the largest amount of money he has ever used the knowledge in his mind since he was reborn. With this money, the money-making plans in his mind can also be started step by step. Since sending Siying on the plane to the United States, Liu Yufan has been thinking about how to use the knowledge in his head to speed up the speed of making money. You must know that the three-year promise he gave Chen Siying at that time was not something he said casually. And as these things were slowly sorted out, Liu Yufan also realized a more serious problem - lack of money.

That's right, although he is now a big boss with a net worth of tens of millions, these plans in his mind, no matter which one they are, require huge financial support, and his current company is just starting, and the liquidity must not be broken, and if it is broken, the company is in danger of being finished.

Now he understands why those rich people still have to apply for bank loans one by one, but it is not that they have no money, but that most of their money is invested in further development.

Now, the 80 million is a sum of money that he can use at will. With this money, although the plans in his mind cannot be realized one by one, at least one or two can be activated.

And seeing that making movies is so profitable, the first plan that Liu Yufan thinks of at this moment is related to this.

"Hehe, thank you Director Zhang!" Liu Yufan put away the check, and the smile on his face returned to normal.

"This young man is really not simple." Seeing that Liu Yufan adjusted his emotions so quickly, Lao Mouzi's heart was also secretly impressed. When he was young, he would never be as indifferent as him. That's 80 million! Not eight thousand!

The two chatted a few more words, but it was Liu Yufan who changed his words and once again introduced the topic.

"Director Zhang, since "Pirates of the Caribbean" is so popular, do you plan to make a sequel?" Liu Yufan asked with a smile. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
