Chapter 85: The Golden Bull Award

4.93 million!

Fang Bo's eyes widened a little, and he even paused to chew for eating.

Although he invested 15 million in "A Good Show", the money was paid in advance by Huarui Film and Television, and without his hands, the use can only be in the movie.

The 2 million that Shen Zhuo lent him in his personal name went to his account, but the money was handed over to his parents to buy a car and a house.

So far, this 4.93 million is the largest amount he has ever handled, no wonder he is a little excited.

As for the source of the money.

At this stage, the only one who can transfer so much money to him at one time should be Huarui Film and Television.

In order to verify the conjecture, Fang Bo picked up his mobile phone and called Song Huaiyuan.

"Hey, Manager Song."

"Director Fang, the company gave you a sum of money, did you receive it?"

"Well, I got it, I was about to ask about it."

Song Huaiyuan smiled: "Oh, it's good to receive it, I'm afraid of disturbing your shooting, so I didn't take the initiative to call you in the afternoon." ”

"This is the income from the foreign copyright of "Night Club", according to the contract, Huarui's agency fee has been deducted, and taxes have also been paid, I have sent the detailed information to your mailbox, you can take a look later."

"And this is only the first stage, there are some countries that have not yet negotiated the distribution, we Huarui are in contact with foreign distributors, and there will probably be millions of revenue in the future."

Because the foreign distribution of "Night Club" follows the buyout model, and the other party pays after signing the contract, the income arrives quickly, compared to the domestic box office share, which will have to wait for a while.

In fact, Chinese movies are in the limelight nowadays, and there are huge fan groups around the world, if you follow the normal distribution model, the foreign box office of a film will generally not be lower than the domestic box office.

However, foreigners don't like to watch all Chinese movies.

Especially in the United States, the largest foreign box office of Chinese films, the favorite of those old beauties is science fiction films with gorgeous special effects, followed by action movies, romance films, fantasy films and other genres, and pure comedy films, their acceptance is relatively average.

I can't help it, my preferences are different.

Besides, cultural differences exist objectively, some jokes caused by body movements are okay, and many jokes such as homophonic stalks are burdensome, and foreigners can't understand it at all.

If it's a movie of other genres with comedy elements, that's fine, after all, comedy is just an embellishment, but "Nightclub" is a low-budget pure comedy, so there's no way.

Therefore, even if the film has received hundreds of millions of box office in China, foreign distributors are still not very optimistic, and they don't want to spend time and effort cooperating with Huarui Film and Television to distribute it, but just want to try their luck at a low price.

Fortunately, copyrights are sold by region, and the selling points of this country and that country are selling points, and the accumulation of a small amount is also a lot of income.

Fang Bo chatted with Song Huaiyuan for a while, and had a general understanding of the distribution of the copyright of "Night Club".

After hanging up the phone, he thought about it and was ready to return Shen Zhuo's 2 million first.

The 2 million is different from the 15 million advanced by Huarui, Huarui is a film and television company, everything naturally depends on interests, and the money has to calculate interest on a regular basis.

And the 2 million was personally lent to Fang Bo by Shen Zhuo.

At that time, Fang Bo offered to pay interest, but Shen Zhuo repeatedly refused, saying that he was just doing a favor, and it would be too much to worry about.

Of course, he understood that this was Shen Zhuo showing favor or trying to win him over, but one yard is one yard, and people did take 2 million out, and the favor should be recorded.

The money that does not charge interest, and if you use it for one more day, you owe a little more favor, and now that you have money, you can pay it back as soon as possible.

Fang Bo operated on his mobile phone for a while, and then saw that it was still early, so he called Shen Zhuo.

"Hey, Fang Dao."

Fang Bo said politely: "Mr. Shen, I called you at this point, I didn't bother you." ”

"Eh, what's the bother?" Shen Zhuo guessed that Fang Bo had something to say, and listened patiently after a polite word.

"Mr. Shen, part of the copyright income of "Nightclub" has arrived today, so I want to pay back the 2 million you lent me, but my card has a single-day limit, and I can't transfer so much at one time, so the score is two days."

Hearing this, Shen Zhuo felt a little regretful and said, "I'm not in a hurry to use the money, why should I be in such a hurry." ”

Fang Bo said with a smile: "Mr. Shen, it has nothing to do with you, it's my personality problem, I always think about the 2 million, and now it's okay to pay it back sooner, so I don't have a heart problem." ”

Shen Zhuo still wanted to rely on the 2 million to get closer to Fang Bo, but he didn't want to pay it back so soon, and said a little helplessly: "Okay, then listen to you." ”

"Hmm." Fang Bo was relieved.

"Director Fang, today is the first day of filming, how was the crew's shooting, did it go well?"

"It's okay, it's going well."

The two chatted again about the filming of the movie before ending the call.

"Whew."

Fang Bo put down his phone, only feeling relaxed.

With that out of the way, he picked up his chopsticks and continued to eat.

It's nothing with interest or interest, but he is not used to owing money to others, and after paying it back, he won't worry about it from time to time.

After dinner, he checked all the materials for today's shooting, and communicated with Jiang Can about tomorrow's shooting plan.

Before going to bed, he also clicked on the chat group of the crew, asked the heads of various departments to report the number of people, and made sure that all the people were there, and then went to wash and sleep.

No wonder he was too cautious, after all, he was on an isolated island, and he was really negligent in terms of safety, in case of drowning or other accidents.

Therefore, the crew has to count the number of people every night, as the end of the day's work, and the next morning to count again, as the beginning of the day's work.

In short, it's a word, there is nothing wrong with being careful.

……

In the next two days, Fang Bo sent the money to Shen Zhuo twice, and finally returned the money.

After the new day's limit was refreshed, he transferred another 500,000 to his family.

Both parents live in a small county town, and they live frugally on weekdays, and there are not many places to use money, 500,000 yuan is enough for the time being, but it is not so easy for them to accept it if they turn more.

The money didn't affect the shooting, and the progress of the movie was moving forward every day.

Fang Bo focused on filming on the island, there were no gimmicks or news, and "A Good Show" seemed to have disappeared from people's field of vision.

It's "The Battle Against Time" that has been out of the limelight these days.

Within a few days after the project was established, Huanyu Film and Television announced the news of the start of casting, which once again aroused heated discussions.

There are many things about the movie, such as which actors will pass the audition, predict the final cast, guess how much the actors will be paid, and so on.

Seeing that "The Battle Against Time" has attracted the attention of countless people, and the publicity of Huanyu Film and Television is going well, this situation has not lasted long.

As the time came to the end of October, the name of the Golden Bull Award appeared more and more in the news headlines, and gradually occupied everyone's attention.
