After the finale banquet, Jiang Xuerou and the others focused on three dramas such as "The Legend of the White Snake", while Chen Shuo said goodbye to them and went to the magic capital with Liu Yifei.

There, after taking the dresses of the two, he turned back to the imperial capital.

The crew of "No Thieves in the World" has begun filming in the studio in Xiaotangshan, but Chen Shuo doesn't have many scenes, and he hasn't been in a hurry to go before his turn.

After a day off, the next day he went to the courtyard of Lishi Hutong with Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli.

Lishi Hutong, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, was a market for selling donkeys and mules, called "Donkey City Hutong".

It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that the livestock market was abolished, and people cleverly renamed it "Lishi Hutong" according to the homonym.

The TV series "Mansion Gate" was filmed in the mansion of the prefect of Wuchang in the Qing Dynasty.

The most famous one here is the mansion of Prime Minister Liu Luoguo and Liu Yong's family, but now the main courtyard has become a miscellaneous courtyard, and the others also have their own owners.

Chen Shuo's mansion does not belong to the original Liu Yong's mansion, but is in the east near the middle piece.

Rendezvous with Xiao Li at the door, took the key and opened the door, Chen Shuo pushed open the door, looking at the slightly dilapidated scene inside, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

From now on, this is his home.

This courtyard, with an area of 800 square meters, is divided into two parts: the main courtyard and the cross courtyard.

The main courtyard is 600 square meters, and ordinary people can build a three-entry main courtyard, but this courtyard is only one entry, and the surrounding houses and yards are very wide.

There is also a moon gate between the main room and the west wing, which leads to the cross-courtyard.

Except for the three main rooms, all that was left was empty land, but now the original owner has built a lot of simple rooms to store chores and the like.

When the time comes, it can be completely dismantled to make a small garden.

After looking around, several people opened the door of the main room, and when they went in, most of the furniture and everything had been removed, leaving only a dilapidated solid wood sofa.

It turned out that the owner didn't move away and didn't want to stay.

Looking at the empty room, Liu Yifei said: "I didn't think when I came here before, but now that it's empty, why does it look so big?" ”

"The main reason is that before they lived here, the whole family lived here, and the things were full, so the house seemed small." Xiao Li pointed to the ceiling above his head and said, "If these ceilings are removed, the house will appear bigger." ”

Chen Shuo looked up, this ceiling is very similar to the style of the last century, criss-crossing colored plastic strips to form a simple geometric pattern, but now many colorful strips have broken and hung down, stained with years of dust and fly droppings, looking a little desolate.

"This beam is still good, I don't know if it can be used then." Looking through the hole and seeing the beams exposed on the top, Chen Shuo found that there were simple patterns still carved.

Xiao Li introduced: "Generally, such beams can be used for a hundred years, and this house has been used for many years, if you plan to dismantle and rebuild, it is best to choose a new one." ”

Chen Shuo nodded, the demolition must be demolished, and he is not like the previous family with dozens of people, living in one stall, and dividing each house into different uses.

He is alone, and even if he gets married, there will be few people.

He planned to convert the 600 square meters into a second courtyard, so that the front and back were separated, the front was used to entertain people, handle affairs, and live for people, and the back was his own private space.

Coupled with the cross-courtyard next to it, make a small garden when the time comes, leaving an open space for exercise.

At that time, there is a kind of comfort of hiding in a small building and managing his winter, summer and spring and autumn.

After looking at each room, and walking around the yard again, talking about the appearance after the decoration, Liu Xiaoli said to Xiao Li again: "Okay, what's going on here, what about Shichahai?" ”

Xiao Li said: "The procedures over there have also been completed, as long as Mr. Chen is free, we will completely complete the handover procedures for these two places." ”

Liu Xiaoli glanced at Chen Shuo and said, "Then let's go to Shichahai again today and finish the rest of the procedures?" ”

"Okay." Chen Shuo nodded.

The four of them went to Shichahai again and looked at the house they had seen for the first time.

This house is only 400 square meters, but it is a two-way courtyard with a main seat, which is not as wide as the atmosphere of Lishi Hutong, but it has a sense of exquisiteness.

Since the original owner of this house only bought the collection and did not live in it, the reason why it was sold was because he couldn't live in it and didn't want it.

The things inside are exactly the same as the last time I saw them, but now that the spring flowers are blooming, the small trees in this yard have also sprouted, and it looks a little more angry.

Seeing that there was no problem, the three of them followed Xiao Li to run through the formalities again, and when it was evening, the two courtyards would completely belong to Chen Shuo.

Now, after Chen Shuo returned to the imperial capital, he basically lived in the school, and lived in Liu Yifei's house when he had something, and rarely went back to Wu Qi's house to live.

Last year, Chen Yukun and his family earned a lot of money, and at the end of the year, they bought a commercial house near Hepingli outside the North Second Ring Road.

Now that it has been renovated, I plan to dry it for a while before moving in.

And Chen Shuo also bought a house, so he had no intention of bothering anymore.

When they got home in the evening, Chen Shuo and Liu Xiaoli cooked a few dishes and called Chen Rui to celebrate together.

"Two courtyards, which one do you plan to live in?" Chen Rui asked while eating, and without waiting for him to answer, he said to himself: "I feel that the Lishi Hutong is good, and the living is spacious."

And the tree, it's not too hot yet, and when it comes to summer, it should be nice to cool off under the tree. ”

Liu Yifei nodded and said: "I also think it is spacious, and besides, Lishi Hutong is also close to here, and it is convenient to come and go." ”

Her home and company are near Dongyue Temple, and it is only a few miles away from Lishi Hutong, and it doesn't take long to walk.

Liu Xiaoli said: "It's good, but if you have few people, it's better to live on the side of Shichahai, and the place is small and easy to take care of." ”

Chen Shuo swallowed the food in his mouth, sandwiched another piece of meat and said: "Live together, you can live on whichever side is comfortable, and if you don't take care of it, ask someone to take care of it."

If I really want to do it myself, how can I have that time? If you are not at home for two or three months to film, the gods can't take care of it.

As for the cost, don't worry, the money I earn in the future is definitely enough to spend, and there is no shortage of money, so how comfortable can I come. ”

Now his mentality has changed a lot, to say that when he first started to play tricks with his brother, he still wanted to make money.

But now that he's made enough money, he doesn't care very much.

Some flowers are fine, life is in the world, or the comfort of life is the most important.

Of course, this money still has to be earned.

"Yes, you can live wherever you want." Liu Yifei smiled happily.

Liu Xiaoli didn't say much when she heard this, and she didn't think she could afford it.

It's just that I went to the scene today and felt that the place was a little big, and since a few small ones didn't think so, she didn't care.

Chen Shuo said again: "Wait for two days, go to Wangjing to have a look, and then buy a commercial house, if you just turn around in the imperial capital, you can live there."

On Zhou Yi's side, the boss saw that Tang Ren had set up a branch in Hengdian to take care of production, and he also wanted to set up a branch in Gusu and put the headquarters of the production department there.

When I have money in the future, I will buy a house in Gusu, to be honest, when I was filming there before, I was quite greedy for that kind of garden-style architecture.

At that time, Brother Bo and I went to various gardens. ”

"I didn't go to Gusu much, except for the time when I was promoting the album with you, I stayed there for two days." Liu Yifei said: "However, the Phoenix Ancient City filmed this time is too good. ”

Liu Xiaoli listened, nodded approvingly, and said, "On a rainy day, listening to the drizzle outside, making a cup of tea, and holding a book, that feeling is really good." ”

During filming, the crew rented a small courtyard as an inn, and it rained lightly for two days.

Everyone sat under the eaves together during the break, watching the light rain, not to mention how pleasant it was.

Chen Rui couldn't help but feel a little envious in her heart when she heard this, and said: "It's good, you guys have been running around all over the world, and you have seen a lot of places, and I have been to the imperial capital except for my hometown." ”

Chen Shuo said: "When you finish the college entrance examination, you will go on a graduation trip, and then you will travel all over the country, see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and broaden your horizons." ”

Liu Yifei clapped his hands and smiled: "This is good, let Chen Shuo give you the travel fee when the time comes." ”

"No, I earned money last year, and my parents gave me a lot of pocket money, and I saved it." Chen Rui smiled proudly.

The reason why Wang Erni's pancakes were able to open a chain was that she made a lot of contributions, and Chen Yukun and his family gave her a lot of rewards.

In addition, Chen Shuo would also give her pocket money from time to time.

She is not a big spender, she basically saves all this money, and she originally wanted to find a project in school to practice it later.

Now that I have listened to Chen Shuo's advice, I think it is very good, and seeing more about the world is sometimes more useful than working hard.

After chatting for a while about Chen Rui's travel, Chen Shuo said again: "Sissi, have you decided not to sign a record company first?" Didn't Uncle Chen say before, can he help you sign in to Sony's head office?

That is also in line with international standards, which is better for your future development. ”

"I don't know if I can sing well, but if the audience doesn't buy it, I'm signed by all five major record companies, so what?" Liu Yifei shook his head and said, "It's better not to sign it directly." ”

Chen Shuo asked again: "What about the distribution?" Who to issue it to? ”

"Isn't it okay to Jingwen? I think Brother He has helped you run it very well. ”

"Yes, yes, but now there is a question is, if you let Jingwen release it, should this album take the ultra-low price strategy?"

"What's the difference?"

Chen Shuo thought for a while and said, "If it's a domestic record company, or even a record company in Xiangjiang and Taidao, the difference is actually not big."

With the success of Jingwen's ultra-low price strategy, many record companies have reduced the unit price of albums.

But if a foreign company or a foreign monk is good at chanting scriptures, if you really want to say it, just a foreign name is worth a lot of money.

Now, the price of Jingwen is the lowest, 10 yuan for a CD, and although other domestic companies have reduced their prices, they are at least 20 yuan up, no more than 40 yuan.

Foreign ones are much more expensive, and when people settle accounts, they are calculated in US dollars, and the unit price is naturally not cheaper.

The sales volume is low, the ultra-low price strategy is actually useless, and the cost is too high to make money. ”

"Then if the sales can't go up, it means that your song is not popular, so what's the point of selling it at a high price?" Liu Yifei said: "Then it is better to follow Jingwen's ultra-low price strategy."

It's really going to explode, it's not difficult to make money, if you pounce, it's considered to be giving back to the fans. ”

"Okay, if you decide, then let's go to Jingwen tomorrow to talk to Brother He."

"Okay." Liu Yifei asked, "Are the songs all written?" ”

Chen Shuo shook his head and said, "No, but the title song is available, and the rest will not delay the release of the album." ”

For her first album, Chen Shuo is more attentive than her second album.

When he wrote songs, he was immersed in the artistic conception of masterpieces, which really allowed him to write a lot of good works.

The three title songs, all of which are classics, all have performance effects.

It's just that he doesn't know if she will be able to sing it then.

After eating, resting for the night, the next morning, several people went to Jingwen Company.

After arriving at the place, Chen Shuo did not go to He Zhengyang's office, but invited him to his office.

Looking at the coffee in front of him, He Zhengyang looked at Chen Shuo and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”

He also knew that Chen Shuo didn't drink coffee, and he didn't even like others to invite him to coffee, let alone invite others to drink coffee.

On the contrary, he prefers to drink coffee because it is easy to refresh himself.

Now, Chen Shuo invited him to coffee, and that matter was definitely not simple.

For He Zhengyang, Chen Shuo didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "Sissi wants to release an album, I want to ask Brother He, what do you think should be done?" ”

He Zhengyang looked at Liu Yifei when he heard this, he naturally understood what Chen Shuo meant, and did not plan to let Liu Yifei sign a contract, but only wanted to use Jingwen as a distribution platform.

"Producer, who are you going to find?"

"Of course it's you, but I'll be involved in the production when the time comes."

He Zhengyang glanced at Chen Shuo again and said, "Since this is the case, then I'll talk to the company about the issuance."

At that time, I can guarantee that the initial issue price will not exceed 60%, depending on the sales volume.

According to the market, at my level, the production fee accounts for 15% of your share. But if you and I make it together, we'll split the 15% between the two of us at that time. ”

The release of the album depends on the channels, production channels, distribution channels, publicity channels and so on.

As a record label with these channels, it is like a movie theater and a distribution company, and it naturally occupies the majority of an album's revenue.

If the volume is small, just burning a few thousand copies, tens of thousands of copies, then you don't need a record company, and you can directly go to a factory or a video store to dock, which can save a lot of costs.

When the time comes, an album can be recouped if it sells thousands of copies, and more will be earned.

Of course, the risk is also high, and if you can't sell it, you will directly smash it.

However, if you want to sell a lot of money, you need to spend a variety of activities. Such as channel laying, advertising, warehouse use, signing venues and so on.

is different from Chen Shuo, with a fixed share, Liu Yifei's album can be talked about according to sales.

If the sales volume is not good, the issuance fee will naturally be high, and it may even lose money.

The higher the sales volume, the lower the issuance fee, after all, the more quantity, the lower the cost.

And as Chen Shuo's current album is gradually approaching the 10 million mark, the next album will inevitably be calculated in this way.

This time I came to talk about Liu Yifei's album, which is also a signal to Jingwen.

It doesn't matter if it's a loss or not, the release of the two albums is a mutual achievement between Chen Shuo and Jingwen, without Jingwen, he would not have such achievements.

The same is true for other companies, after all, who would have thought that his two albums could be so outrageous?

Chen Shuo didn't dare to think about it himself.
