Chapter 439: A Work of Conscience
How much money did Sun Peng make in a whole year?
In fact, it's not that he doesn't care, it's just that his money has come and gone, spent and earned this year, and if he doesn't settle down and calculate it carefully, he really can't figure it out. So Sun Peng has always been too lazy to count, nor too lazy to calculate, everything is just handed over to his second sister to memorize the detailed data for him.
Now that the accountant is in office, it is simple to have a statement to read at the end of the year.
The bulk of the income is undoubtedly the royalties of seven sets of martial arts, and last year's sales of up to 7 million sets, and the royalty income of more than 200 million allowed Sun Peng to successfully squeeze into the top of the list of Chinese writers!
For this result, Sun Peng said that he was not surprised.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Sky and the Dragon", "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "Dragon Babu", "The Legend of the Deer and Ding" and "The Peerless Double Pride", look at this series of names, how many sell seven million sets a year?
At least in Sun Peng's opinion, not much at all.
A Harry? There are only seven books in Potter, and nearly 100 million copies have been sold in 20 years, allowing Rowling to reap more than a billion dollars in royalties, so the billions of people in China buy 7 million sets of martial arts a year, and the average set is only 1 million, and the royalty income of a single set is actually much lower than that of the little wizard......
So seeing this number, after a short heartbeat, Sun Peng even clenched his fists and encouraged himself: "Come on, martial arts!" “
Of course, unlike Rowling, Sun Peng has other income in addition to martial arts.
Two large blocks, music and TV series income.
From the very beginning of writing songs for the eldest sister's wedding, Sun Peng has successively written songs for Zhao Chusheng, Luo Cheng, Chen Feifei, Ma Boyuan, Beyond Band and Wu Renxiong, and of course, two Japanese singers and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It's just that many songs still have to wait for the plot advancement of "Slam Dunk" and the future broadcast of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but the songs that have been released publicly still bring Sun Peng more than 20 million yuan in revenue!
And these incomes, in fact, are still a big piece missing.
Especially last year's English album by Luo Cheng and Chen Feifei, although it was released in the summer and swept the world, it will take a long time for the real full share to reach Sun Peng's account. According to the King of Heaven and the Queen of Heaven, it should not be a big problem to at least double this number at that time.
The same problem exists in TV scripts.
"Mad Lady" and "Lonely Gourmet", which rely on advertisements to eat, have an inconspicuous share of more than two million throughout the year, and the focus is on the more than six million shares of the first season of "Criminal Minds"! However, the second season of "Criminal Minds", which has more popular results and higher returns, has not yet been broadcast, and Sun Peng will have to wait until at least May or June if he wants to get the money.
And......
Whether it's music, or TV drama scripts, it's just a year's share.
"You can take this money for a lifetime!"
After carefully studying the relevant laws, Sun Ya patted her younger brother on the shoulder and smiled: "As long as these things are still watched, you will have money every year, and the more things you write in the future, the more you can accumulate, I don't dare to think about how much you can earn in a year in ten years!" “
"Hey, hey."
What else can Sun Peng do besides grinning?
In fact, he knows that he doesn't have to wait until ten years later, as long as the three movies are released next year, "Spirited Away" and "Dragon Gate Inn" in the year after tomorrow and "Frozen" in the year after tomorrow can come out smoothly, I'm afraid that the money he made is something that the second sister dare not think......
……
After the Spring Festival holiday, Sun Peng should also make a living.
threw the script of the last ten episodes of "Super Detective" to the director of Giant Film and Television, Sun Peng clapped his hands and said that the rest had nothing to do with him. Although Giant Film and Television has invested great enthusiasm and resources in this drama, and hopes to start filming after the year, several screenwriters who are responsible for revising the script said that they need to be patient, and now they can only provide five episodes of scripts.
And then......
"Alas, the thing I regret the most during the Spring Festival is that I promised to write two songs for you!"
While giving Luo Cheng and Chen Feifei an envelope each, Sun Peng muttered in annoyance: "A song is at least a week, and I want to die of tossing...... It's not a good year! ”
"Ouch, hard work!"
After taking the envelope, a flower bloomed on Luo Cheng's face.
The new album is scheduled to be released in May, and now the company is waiting for Sun Peng's song to determine the title of the album, and the king can't wait.
Compared with the polite Luo Tianwang, Chen Feifei was even more anxious, and rolled her eyes at Sun Peng's complaint and said, "You kid are still complaining? Do you know how many people I offended to make room for your songs? And my new album is going to be released in early April, and the producers are about to cry, do you know? “
”…… Watch the song, hurry up and watch the song! “
Hurriedly waved his hand, Sun Peng didn't dare to say more.
After Chen Feifei opened the envelope, she looked at the title of the song for the first time, and then couldn't help but read it: ""Conquest" ...... "In My Song"? Uh, it seems like a big difference just by looking at the name? “
Can there be little difference between two people singing?
Picking up the teacup on the table, Sun Peng took a sip.
One is the most famous "Conquest" of the mainland diva, and the other is "In My Singing", which I only learned about the singer after I liked the song, and of course there will be differences in style. But after careful selection, it is also a good song that Sun Peng thinks is more suitable for Chen Feifei's voice!
So after just a cursory look, the queen of heaven was suddenly overjoyed!
"Yes, they're all good songs!"
Raising his head and looking at Sun Peng with eager eyes, Chen Feifei said, "Xiaopeng, are there only these two songs?" You haven't written much in so long? Don't worry, take it out, and my sister will go back immediately and slap those people in the face! “
"Uh...... Wood has! “
Sun Peng's face darkened, and he hurriedly and firmly refused!
Just kidding!
Fortunately, Chen Feifei was also joking, and she laughed randomly and immediately: "By the way, what about the arrangement?" How come there are only lyrics and sheet music? ”
"Well, you're on your own."
Shrugging his shoulders, Sun Peng said helplessly: "You also know that I am busy preparing for a new movie, and it is already very good to be able to write a song, but the brand of Reincarnation Records is so big, it shouldn't be difficult to make a song, right?" Besides, I've already written the main points clearly, haven't I? ”
The arrangement is too difficult, and Sun Peng really doesn't have that time.
“…… You kid, be lazy! ”
Although Chen Feifei, who got the good song, was a little dissatisfied, she still nodded understandingly.
With the strength of Reincarnation Records, it really didn't take too long to arrange the music for the two songs, not to mention that Sun Peng gave a general idea in it. If everything goes well, it can be done in two weeks at most, and there is really no need to dwell on it.
"Sun Peng, you kid fooled me, right?"
Just as Chen Feifei was about to pick up the wine glass to toast Sun Peng, Luo Cheng next to him suddenly shouted.
Chen Feifei's words were suddenly held back, and she looked at Luo Cheng, who was puzzled, and asked, "Brother Luo, what do you mean?" Why did Sun Peng fool you? ”
"Come, look!"
Casually handed the score to Chen Feifei, Luo Cheng looked at Sun Peng and said angrily: "You...... Did you write me two songs? This is obviously a song, okay? It's just to change the title of the song, and then one Chinese and one English, and there is no change in even the score! ”
"'Kiss Goodbye', 'Take Me to Your Heart'?"
After reading the song sheet in his hand, Chen Feifei was speechless.
"Hey...... Nonsense! “
Sun Peng, who had been snickering for a while, covered his mouth and insisted: "Although their scores are the same, how can they say it in two languages, how can it be said to be a song?" Brother Luo, can you slander my conscience......"
……
In the midst of hustle and bustle, time flies the fastest.
If you have fun, you will find that time is like a winged pegasus, stabbing and disappearing without a trace. So when Sun Peng came back to his senses and found that everything in "Dragon Gate Inn" was ready, it was already mid-March.
"Brothers, how are you preparing?"
Gathering Ye Xing and Liao Chen on this day, Sun Peng asked with a smile.
"Haha, it's been ready for a long time!"
Liao Chen, who had the most words, waved his hand vigorously and said with a laugh.
"Good, very good!"
Looking at the expectant crowd, Sun Peng also smiled: "Then go back and pack my things for me, and let's set off with the brigade next week and go to Gansu together...... Brothers, we're about to get started! “
