Li Xiuying showed Su Wen the financial statements of "Romeo and Juliet" up to yesterday, with a total of three aspects of data.

The first is the box office of theater performances: 25 million Chinese dollars

The second is publication sales: 4.2 million copies.

The third is copyright operation: 41 million Chinese dollars.

As for Su Wen's income, the theater performance is a 6% share, that is, 1.5 million Chinese dollars; The royalty for publication is 10 percent, and the price of one volume is 8 Chinese yuan, so his share of this item is 3.36 million Chinese yuan.

These two aspects are still a normal value, and the income of the third aspect surprised Su Wen, staring at the data, unable to look up for a long time.

What is the concept of 41 million?

According to his agreement with Freshman, he has a 6 percent revenue share for the operation of the copyright of "Romeo and Juliet" works, whether it is film and television or the licensing of theatrical performances elsewhere.

41 million, what can be shared is 2.46 million Chinese dollars!

At first glance, this figure is not comparable to the income of publishing, but publishing is a project that consumes countless manpower and energy, and it also requires time to accumulate, the cost is huge, and although the income is high, the profit is small.

This authorization is completely a business without capital, just to grant the copyright, you can recover the funds for nothing, for the fresh company, it is simply a profitable thing.

In this way, Su Wen can get a total income of 7.32 million!

Although it is only a pre-tax figure, in order to encourage the development of cultural undertakings, the tax rate of the Chinese Empire is much lower than that of other industries, even if the income is huge, the highest tax rate is only 10%.

That is, even if the tax is paid. Up to now, Su Wen can also get a net income of more than six million.

This is much higher than the buyout price of more than one million given by Liang Feng at the beginning.

At that time, everyone was not confident, and in order to win over Su Wen, Li Xiuying also gave a condition of guaranteed sharing, saying that if Su Wen's income did not exceed so much in a year, she would make up for it.

So what's the number? One and a half million?

Su Wen didn't remember much. Now it seems that they were too small at the time, and they underestimated the value of Romeo and Juliet!

Now where is one or two million things, but they are about to be tens of millions, you know, the market potential of this work has not been fully tapped, and the market operation has not stopped.

So far, it has only been more than two months since this work was staged. You can also harvest a lot of money in the market.

Although it is not as exaggerated as the current more than seven million, it should be no problem to get two or three million.

At that time, a work will earn 10 million, and Su Wen's fame and prestige will be even more extraordinary.

In this world, literati have the highest status and honor, from what aspect is it reflected? There is no certain standard for words, and literature is even more difficult to measure.

So. If you have to find a secular standard, then there is only the term sales! And sales volume is a general term. In the past, it was true that only paper books could be counted, but with the development of the times and the prosperity of various derivative channels, a work can have more income, what theater, film and television, and games.

That is, the income of a work. to reflect its value more objectively.

Therefore, the world often counts the sales of some writers to compare who has the most market appeal, and also counts some income rankings to measure the value of a work and the fame of the writer.

Here, talking about money is for a literati. There is definitely no shame in it, on the contrary, there are awards, and the list of writers who are included in the list every year is an honor that a writer values!

Using sales to reflect a writer's fame and prestige may not be comprehensive, but it is not subjective, at least, it is a very practical and objective thing, which is clear at a glance.

Su Wen has learned some of the market conditions in this world literary world, and has also seen several rankings, to be honest, his so-called income of 10 million, let alone the whole world, even in the Chinese Empire, the top 100 can't be ranked!

Like some big playwrights or novelists, maybe they have accumulated a lot of works, and there are more channels to sell every year, and at the end of the year, there are tens of millions of incomes at every turn, and there are even big writers with an annual income of more than 100 million!

The top writers, accumulating decades and becoming billionaires, are definitely not fantasies. From tens of millions to 10 million, I don't know how many writers are among them, and it is not surprising that they are not ranked in the hundredth.

Fortunately, Su Wen is still young and has more than one work, so it can be expected that his income this year will definitely be expensive.

Li Xiuying looked at Su Wen's young face and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so young!" ”

It's also admirable to think about it, an eighteen-year-old young man, but with his own hands to become a multimillionaire in a year, is there a more legendary and amazing story than this?

She saw the value of Su Wen thoroughly, and she was really afraid that someone would rob her of the hen that could lay golden eggs, and remembered that Fang Chengshi called him yesterday and said that Yuan Zizhu, the editor-in-chief of Fangyuan Company, personally visited Su Wen and asked for cooperation, Li Xiuying couldn't sit still anymore and began to stage a means to win over Su Wen.

Pushing an agreement and a check in front of Su Wen, Li Xiuying said expectantly: "Su Wen, sign this agreement, you can take this check away." ”

"Agreements? Cheque? Su Wen was surprised, glanced at the check, it was an amount of four million, some couldn't figure it out, and was even more curious about what the agreement was written.

When I picked up the agreement, the content was very simple, nothing more than the income of "Romeo and Juliet" to this day, as well as the income paid to Su Wen in advance.

A total of 7.32 million, after paying taxes, it is about 6.5 million, and the Qingxin Company has advanced 3 million to Su Wen before, plus the current 4 million checks, which is the advance amount up to today.

After understanding it, Su Wen clicked on the check on the table, frowned and said, "Mr. Li, you have miscalculated, if it is 6.5 million after tax, you only need to give me a check of 3.5 million." That's an extra 500,000 ......."

"The extra is the tax money we paid you!" Li Xiuying said with a smile, "We have a happy cooperation, and we don't have to worry about this little money." ”

When Su Wen heard this, he didn't dare to be greedy for this cheapness, and pushed the agreement and the check aside. Leaned back on the sofa, changed into a comfortable position, and said quietly: "Mr. Li, I'm really curious, it stands to reason that it's not the end of the year or the year after the year, let alone the New Year." The play "Romeo and Juliet" hasn't even finished yet, why are you in a hurry to settle the income with me? ”

Li Xiuying still smiled: "A while ago, you asked me to advance three million, and I knew that you must have something to cause the shortage of funds." It is also the obligation of our company to solve problems for our partners. Two days ago, we had negotiated with other cultural companies about the licensing of Luo Zhu's work, and most of them transferred the funds to our account. I think you are short of money, so I will settle a part of the income for you in advance. You see, our collaborator is quite thoughtful, right? ”

Su Wen smiled lightly, glanced at Li Xiuying deeply, and said, "Mr. Li." If we don't talk in secret, we don't have to go around in circles, right? ”

"What circle?" Li Xiuying looked puzzled.

Su Wen shrugged: "You are settling in advance, and you are helping to pay part of the taxes, is this to buy people's hearts, or do you want to show something?" ”

Li Xiuying shook her head: "It's really not, I just want to announce my income to you and make the data transparent." Su Wen, these seven million is definitely not your final income. Look at it. The performance has been going on for more than two months, although it has come to an end. But it's still possible to harvest millions more bills. As for this copyright authorization, we have only sold the copyright of the theater performance, and the film and television copyright has not been sold. is the copyright of performances, there are 49 provinces in the country, and now more than 30 have been sold, and it is foreseeable that there will be a lot of income. ”

Su Wen nodded. When he read the report, he knew that the fresh culture company sold the performance copyright, which was a helpless thing, who let them only operate in Dongguang Province. Sell the copyright to other provinces, some for one or two million. Some are in the millions.

Li Xiuying is very smart, knowing that the matrix and Fangyuan Company are in a monopoly position, and most of them can operate across many provinces, and negotiate with them, but they are afraid that the price is not high.

Therefore, she is not afraid of trouble, and only cooperates with cultural companies with average strength in other provinces, negotiates one by one, and tries her best to maximize the benefits.

Now it seems that it is ideal.

Su Wen also knows that he seems to have made a lot of money, but in fact, it is Fresh Culture Company that takes the lion's share, and Li Xiuying must benefit the most.

The tax of hundreds of thousands of dollars will be paid by the help, and there is no kindness.

I want to use this point to show favor to Su Wen and move him, but I am afraid that the strength is not enough, so Su Wen will not guess that Li Xiuying is settling in advance today in order to win him over.

Besides, the money is his, and the result is the same for both early and delayed settlements.

"Mr. Li, what do you want me to do today, just say it." Su Wen tapped on the table with some impatience and looked directly at Li Xiuying.

Li Xiuying glanced at Su Wen, pointed to the agreement and check in front of him, and said, "You sign the agreement first, take the check away, anyway, the check is opened, and it will be troublesome for me to get it back." ”

Su Wen smiled: "I'm still afraid that you won't sell me?" Okay, I'll sign it, and you're going to tell me the truth after you sign it! ”

While speaking, Su Wen signed the agreement, wrote the receipt, and put the check in his pocket by the way.

Li Xiuying pointed and said: "When cashing the check, you call the bank first, and they will know what to do." ”

Su Wen nodded and pushed the agreement to Li Xiuying, who carefully checked it and slowly put it into a file bag.

Su Wen spread his hands and said, "Mr. Li, you can talk about it now, why did you come here today?" ”

"What is this...... Li Xiuying pondered for a while, and said honestly, "I am looking for you today to let you meet someone." ”

"See someone?" Su Wen was stunned for a moment, a little confused, who wants to make such a drama, and who is related to him Su Wen?

Li Xiuying rubbed her hands and looked at Su Wen: "This involves the direction of our future development." ”

"We?" Suvin emphasized this point.

Li Xiuying brushed the hair from her ears and said, "It's our company...... It has something to do with you. ”

Su Wen wanted to escape, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, I said before that I am only copyright partners with you, and the work will be handed over to you, and I will not interfere in how your company operates and operates." It's true for you, and it's true for Matrix Corporation. ”

Standing up, Su Wen wanted to say goodbye, when there was a knock at the door.

"The person you want to see is coming?" Su Wen was suddenly extremely depressed, and he really didn't know what Li Xiuying was going to do.

"Come in." Li Xiuying responded very casually.

This makes Su Wen even more strange, looking at her relaxed and casual movements, people should be no strangers to come, and there is no need for her to receive them ceremoniously.

Who is it?

The door slammed open, and there was a few thumps on the floor.

It was the sound of high heels hitting the floor.

"A woman?" Su Wen slowly turned around and saw a beautiful face that was disgusting and happy.

Familiar faces, familiar smiles, familiar styles.

Bai Luofei!

I saw Bai Luofei walking in from the outside, she was dressed neatly today, with light blue jeans underneath, more formal ones, beige high heels, lining her legs more slender, and a beige shirt on top, but the collar was very large, forming a large pattern, looking formal and graceful.

She walked in and greeted Li Xiuying first, and then turned her head slightly, looked at Su Wen, and said with a smile: "Su Dacai, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”

It's been a long time.

Su Wen has not been in contact with Bai Luofei for a month, and previously said that she is touring in other urban areas to fight for the company and try to expand the market share and reputation of "Romeo and Juliet".

What makes Su Wen strange is how why Concubine Bai Luo will return to Guangdong, and the tour of "Romeo and Juliet" is about to end?

If you think about it carefully, this drama has been staged for more than two months, and its vitality is not unlasting, and the longer a drama is toured, the more popular it is with the audience, and the longer it is, the more glorious it is. In general, if you perform a few plays in one place, the market will be saturated, and it is basically very good to be able to tour for about a month in a province.

Luo Zhu's performance can be regarded as amazing, however, Su Wen heard Li Xiuying say that this drama can be toured for more than three months, and now there is still more than half a month before the three months, why did Concubine Bai Luo come back?

Su Wen is now beginning to doubt Li Xiuying's motives, wouldn't it really be to win him over and want his new work, this is to settle the remuneration in advance, and let Concubine Bai Luo personally go into battle to persuade him, right?

What is this, to make a beauty trick?

"I'm not going to eat this!" Su Wen secretly made up his mind not to be moved by beauty.

"Su Wen, that's ......" Li Xiuying seemed to see Su Wen's suspicious look, and hurriedly explained, "The performance of "Romeo and Juliet" is not over yet, Concubine Luo still has performance tasks outside, I asked her to come back today, just for the next thing." I want her to meet with you with the guests who are coming. ”

Su Wen suddenly felt that the person who dared to love Li Xiuying just now that she wanted to see was not Concubine Bai Luo, but someone else.

This made him more and more curious, who made Li Xiuying so grand, and what did she do, so much fanfare.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Zhang has arrived." Just when Su Wen was puzzled, Li Xiuying's secretary came in to report.

"Hurry up and ask him in, oh no, I'll pick him up......" Li Xiuying hurriedly stood up and walked quickly to the door.

Seeing this, Concubine Bai Luo also followed.

Su Wen had no choice but to stand up and wait for the other party's arrival.

Soon, he saw the arrival! (To be continued......)
