Chapter Forty-Six: Just Writing a Song, What Does You Charge?

"It's really luck, I don't care about the movie "Stone"..."

"Don't be modest, I heard what Sister Hua said, the actor was suggested by you..."

Shen Xudong picked up Boss Chen at the airport, and after getting in the car, the two chatted about "Crazy Stone".

"Then thanks to Brother Chen's cinema support, I heard that 15 shows were directly arranged on the first day?"

Boss Chen smiled: "I originally wanted to fill it up directly, but my theater manager said that he would leave two halls for "The Da Vinci Code" and "Poseidon"..."

Shen Xudong expressed his understanding: "There are indeed a lot of audiences for Hollywood blockbusters, and I am generally optimistic about Hollywood blockbusters when I go to the cinema now, otherwise, I will feel that my movie box office money has been wronged!" ”

"The Da Vinci Code" broke 100 million at the mainland box office, and "Poseidon" is a disaster film, or a pure special effects film.

"Poseidon", a big investment of 160 million US dollars, a remake of the classic disaster film "Poseidon in distress" in 1972, North America did not buy it, only reported 62 million US dollars, overseas box office OK, 120 million, of which Chinese mainland box office 69 million...

That is, to catch up with the explosion of "Stone", otherwise, it is very likely to break 100 million.

Boss Chen then asked: "Did you earn 30 million?" ”

“… Almost. ”

How much does Stone make?

41 million shares, minus the cost, it is 21 million, plus the copyright income, about 34 million...

The overseas copyright was directly given to Andy Lau's Tianying Entertainment, and by the way, 4 million was shared...

It's very humane, and the contract signed at the beginning was that Celestial Pictures Entertainment only needed overseas copyrights.

Boss Chen sighed: "You are still amazing, I heard that "Wuji" lost at least 100 million!" ”

“… Who do you listen to? ”

"It's all spread in your circle... Isn't it said that many places have refunded! ”

"Wu Ji" is really a lot of tricks, in the past, we took the movie overseas, and we could sell the copyright by watching the film, but now, we have to watch the full version..."

"Does it affect you?"

Shen Xudong: "Me? ”

""Glory of the Tang Dynasty" is also a blockbuster..."

"That's fine... has Jackie Chan starring, and it is mainly action dramas, and the overseas copyright is very easy to sell..."

When Boss Chen heard this, he was immediately interested: "What is Jackie Chan's salary?" ”

"He doesn't charge any remuneration for filming Chinese films now, and directly converts the salary into a cost..."Glory of the Tang Dynasty" has a production cost of 120 million, and his salary is calculated as 40% of the investment amount, and the film income is given to him first..."

“40%… So much? ”

"40% is already very face-saving, and this project is because of the investment and overseas income that he has."

The overseas copyright income was 27 million US dollars, and Jackie Chan directly took 40%, that is, 10.8 million US dollars...

Jackie Chan is now taking over the movie, and it is completely possible to refer to Zhou Yunfa according to the standard of Hollywood - at least 20 million US dollars, or 15 million US dollars + 20% income...

But he didn't, he didn't charge money directly, and asked for 40% of the gains!

He does have the ability to sell overseas, so Emperor Ying, Huayi, and later Yaolai have been cooperating with him.

Shen Xudong changed the topic: "By the way, what about Jing Tian?" ”

"She went to school at the dance academy... I'll call her, where are we going? ”

“… Why don't you go to the Orlante Club, it's quiet. ”

Boss Chen had obviously heard of the Orlante Club, the club opened by Wang Jianlin's wife, he agreed, and then said: "I thought you were going to take me to the China Club!" ”

"The Chinese Association is a little more famous, and the food is not delicious."

……

The so-called club... In fact, that's the thing, when you reach the status, these people will take the initiative to invite you to join...

As for the connections, Shen Xudong didn't feel it for the time being anyway - he rarely went.

At that time, he still had to write a book!

After receiving the customized text of "Perfect World", Shen Xudong planned 6 million words and 24 volumes to be published, and now it is just beginning...

Shen Haobo has already contacted the publishing house to develop a comic version and a version at the same time, and if possible, an animation.

IP development...

Shen Xudong doesn't care, "Buddha is the Way" doesn't let him write, this time "Perfect World", he can finally blatantly 'write' fantasy!

In the past few days, he is thinking about the general plot, and then writing an outline, after the beginning, the back is simple - the journey against the sky that the little stone is forced to go to!

pulled it back, took Boss Chen to the Orlante Club, asked for a box, and then ordered.

"Brother, what do you like to eat, order it yourself!"

“… Bring me a few of your specialties... Another bottle of red wine..."

Shen Xudong asked for him: "There are Sprites, two bottles!" ”

"Okay..."

The waiter leaves...

"Brother, do you like to add sprite when you drink red wine?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Well, I can't stand the bitterness of red wine!" ”

"You're still amazing, so calm, I've added Sprite before, and then I've been sarcastically old-fashioned... And what do Europeans spend hundreds of years getting sugar out of wine, and the Chinese get a glass of Sprite back..."

Shen Xudong shook his head: "Regardless of them, Europeans still add sugar and milk to tea... If you want me to say, food has no fixed taste, and the palatable is precious! Red wine is not allowed to add Sprite, it is just a bunch of people who are full of food and have nothing to do, pretending to be nobles, blind rules... I'll tell you that the mash is mixed with dry red, the taste is amazing, one bite down, the whole person is confused, I don't drink much alcohol and think it tastes great! ”

When Boss Chen heard this, he was immediately greedy: "Really? Then I'm going to try..."

“… Then I'll ask the waiter to serve a pot of rice bar! ”

"Hmm..."Boss Chen looked at Shen Xudong happily: "It's still free to eat with my brother, and I can also learn things... The next time someone says that about me again, I'll scold him like that! ”

"That's it, Lao Tzu likes to drink like this, can you manage it... If I have the chance, I must dedicate a paragraph to the movie..."

After chatting for a while, Jing Tian came, a refreshing little girl, especially her eyes are very heroic, but... Her nose is too big, her face is an inverted triangle, her facial lines are a little hard, and she lacks affinity...

"Teacher Shen..."

"You might as well call me by my name... Or call me brother! ”

"Okay, brother," Jing Tian took out a few books from his bag: "I brought "Zhu Xian", you can sign it for me!" ”

“… Yo, you still watch "Zhu Xian", which character do you like? ”

"Baguio! I love Baguio so much! ”

“… Well, I thought you would say Lu Xueqi..."

"I also like Lu Xueqi, but in comparison, Baguio is a little more impressive."

Another fan, so, it's easy for the writer to mix in the circle...

With a halo, the moon is more casual!

Boss Zhao interjected: "By the way, have you written the song I told you before?" ”

"It's written, three songs."

Shen Xudong took out his laptop from his bag and clicked on it, the mastering tapes of the three songs: "The Older You Grow Up, the Lonelier You Become", "Last Summer" and a song "Summer Wind"...

"It's all sung by a girl your age... You don't need any advanced singing skills..."

Boss Chen infiltrated and looked at it: "... Three songs... Then according to the rules of the industry, should I give you 1.5 million? ”

"It's just writing a song, it's all your own people, what kind of money are you talking about?"
