Chapter 124: The Great Sage and the Demon Boy

The total box office of "Detective Chinatown" is 1.023 billion, according to the contract before the release of the movie.

After deducting the share of the theater chain and the publicity party, the final producer can get a total of 35%, a total of 358 million yuan.

[Wei Mingxia] accounted for 70% of the investment, with an income of 250 million yuan.

The money will be transferred to Gu Wei's corporate account through China Film's account within 3 months.

The copyright mortgage loan of the Bank of Communications was repaid, and there was still 210 million left.

Invested 49 million, more than a year, increased 5 times, and earned more than 200 million.

This return ratio is okay, of course, it is not comparable with investing in [ByteDance] and buying and selling Bitcoin.

But in addition to monetary gains, through this movie, Gu Wei's company has gained a firm foothold in the film and television circle, and has a cooperative relationship with China Film, Guangguang, and Wanda, which will play a vital role in future development.

Gu Wei's own gains in fame are incomparably huge.

As a star, fame is wealth.

Early the next morning, Gu Wei cautiously got up from Zeng Li's bed.

There is no alarm to the sleeping beauty.

At the end of the celebration last night, Zeng gave him a look when he left, so Gu Wei, who left last, drove the car directly to the downstairs of his sister's house.

How could he not be satisfied with the invitation of the big sister.

Gu Wei is sure that he is the one who really understands his sister's goodness.

One word, Run~

I walked out of the room, cleaned myself up briefly, opened the refrigerator, and saw if there was anything I could do for breakfast.

After a while, when Zeng Li walked out of the bedroom wearing a sexy pajamas, he saw that in front of the dining room, Gu Wei was making breakfast with an apron.

When I walked up, there were eggs, hot milk, bread, and a plate of vegetable salad on the table.

Zeng Li's face showed a bright smile, this scene brought her more spiritual satisfaction than last night's physical stimulation.

In her opinion, Gu Wei's existence was simply perfect.

Handsome appearance, young and strong body, gentle personality, knowing how to care about people, and most importantly, very talented.

"It's done, go brush your teeth, let's have dinner together."

Gu Wei looked at her and said with a smile.

After a while, both of them sat down and began to eat the early morning breakfast of love.

"Sister Li, has the previous TV series in Jinmen finished filming?"

"It's going to be right away, and it's estimated that it will be completed in more than half a month."

"And what's next for you?"

"There are a few scripts looking for me, there are female supporting characters and female protagonists."

As she spoke, she put down the bread in her hand and said with a little emotion

"Gu Wei, thank you very much for asking me to shoot [Detective Chinatown], after the success of the movie, many crews came to the door.

It feels like my career has a second spring. ”

"Sister Li, the relationship between us, what else to talk about to thank you or not~"

He took a sip of milk, licked his lips, and rolled his eyes

"Eh~ If you have to thank me"

Stood up, bent down, and whispered something in Zeng Li's ear.

After Gu Wei finished speaking, he sat down and continued to eat, Zeng Li just smiled when he heard his words, but did not speak, his eyes looked at Gu Wei gently, and the meaning was self-evident.

After breakfast and a while with Sister Li, Gu Wei came to the company.

"Mr. Gu, Director Tian has arrived.

I'm waiting in the reception room. ”

As soon as she arrived at the company, Yang Liwen came up and said.

It seems that Tian Xiaopeng is really in a hurry, and it is estimated that the crew will not be able to get any money at all.

Gu Wei didn't hesitate and came directly to the reception room.

"Director Tian, I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting."

"Where, Mr. Gu, I came too early."

"Director Tian is in such a hurry, I won't talk nonsense, let's watch the film first."

Several people came to a small screening room in the company.

With the expansion of the company, after renting an entire floor of office space, the available space in the company has greatly expanded, and it looks more like what a large company should be.

followed Tian Xiaopeng to watch the clips of the animated movies he brought.

Gu Wei put his mind at ease, it was basically the same as the [Return of the Great Sage] he had seen in the original time and space, but it was a little rough and the story was incomplete.

At the end of the screening, director Tian Xiaopeng was still waiting for Gu Wei's reply anxiously.

"Director Tian, how much investment is left for [Return of the Great Sage] to be completed?"

Gu Wei's words were like a heavenly sound in Tian Xiaopeng's ears.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said

"The film has invested 40 million in production costs, and I estimate that if I want to complete the film and achieve the effect in my heart, I will invest at least another 20 million."

Seeing that Gu Wei didn't reply, Tian Xiaopeng hurriedly said, "It's really not good, do less rendering in the later stage, 15 million should be enough." ”

Hearing this, Gu Wei raised his head and looked at Tian Xiaopeng

"Director Tian, you made this film very well, it gave me a different shock, I have never seen a domestic animated film can be made at this level.

I invested 20 million, don't save it later, if the money is not enough, come to me again, I can continue to invest more. ”

"Thank you~ Mr. Gu, thank you for supporting domestic animated films."

Seeing that the investment was so easy to pull, Tian Xiaopeng still had some unreal feelings in his heart, and then he was extremely grateful to Gu Wei.

It is enough to have a confidant in life, and he feels that at this moment, Gu Wei is his confidant Tian Xiaopeng, and he is the confidant of domestic animated films.

With the financial support, I can finally fulfill my dream for many years.

Subsequently, under the arrangement of Zhao Mingcheng, the company signed an investment agreement with director Tian Xiaopeng.

The first investment of 5 million will be paid to the crew's account in the next few days, and the rest will be paid in two batches of 5 million and 10 million within 3 months.

"By the way, Director Tian, I heard that there is a young director named 'Dumpling' in your animation film industry, and he has an animation studio called 'Dumpling'."

After signing the contract, Gu Wei shook hands with Tian Xiaopeng, and pretended to ask unintentionally.

"Mr. Gu, you're talking about Yang Yu, his studio is called 'Dumpling Keli'."

Tian Xiaopeng replied immediately.

"I've watched the animated movie he made before [Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon], and I think it's very interesting, is it inconvenient for Director Tian to introduce it?"

Gu Wei asked with a smile.

"No problem, Mr. Gu, I have a very close relationship with Yang Yu, I'll send you the contact information in a while, and then I'll tell him again."

After getting the investment, Tian Xiaopeng's whole person became sunny, and he was not as cautious and depressed as he was at the beginning.

"Then thank you Director Tian."

Gu Wei smiled even happier.

'Dumpling' Yang Yu is the director of the original time and space [Nezha's Demon Boy Descends to the World], and his studio 'Dumpling Keli' is also the predecessor of Cocoa Animation, the producer of [Demon Boy].

But they're still unknown, just a small animation studio with a few employees.

Before the success of the domestic animated film [Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage], many people in the industry were still generating electricity for love, because there was a high probability that they would lose money by doing this.

No one is optimistic about domestic animated films, and no audience pays for it.

It wasn't until the box office of [Great Sage] sold 956 million that domestic film and television companies suddenly discovered that animated films could also sell so much money.

So everyone has invested in development, and a series of domestic animated films such as [Magic Boy], [Jiang Ziya], and [Yang Jian] will appear in the follow-up market.

It can be said that [The Return of the Great Sage] has really opened up the market for domestic animated films and revitalized the entire animation film production industry.

Sending Tian Xiaopeng away, Gu Wei called Zhao Mingcheng to the office.

"There's contact information here, you can contact this 'Dumpling' animation studio.

The boss's name is Yang Yu, and he told him that we are going to invest 100 million yuan to shoot a Chinese people's own animated blockbuster.

Ask him if he'd like to join the studio team.

You register a new animation company, and all future animated films are produced under the new company's name.

Tell Yang Yu that if he is willing to join the new company with his team, as a technical talent, he can give him 10% of the shares. ”

After thinking for a while, Gu Wei said again.

"Tell him about our investment in [The Return of the Great Sage], don't let people think of us as liars."

"Understand, Mr. Gu, I'll do it, we have such generous conditions, I believe he has no reason to refuse."

After Zhao Mingcheng left, Gu Wei looked at some of the company's account sheets handed over by the assistant in the office for a while.

After watching for a while, the agent Yang Liwen knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Gu, the brands you endorsed last year are now about to expire, and these companies have called to ask about our contract renewal.

And then there are a few other brands that have come to the door and are going to ask you to be their spokesperson. ”

Yang Liwen said and took out a stack of paper and handed it to Gu Wei.

took a look at it, and it was all the manufacturers and products that were looking for him to endorse, as well as the quotation of his endorsement fee.

"How did you quote a few last year?"

At the beginning of 2012, Gu Wei signed the endorsement contracts of Colgate, Semir, Joyoung Soymilk Machine, Liushen, and Rejoice.

The average endorsement fee of the 5 companies is less than 2 million, and Gu Wei signed it for a year.

Although the money is small, Gu Wei is quite satisfied with the brands he endorses.

Mainly some old brands, the quality of the products can stand the test, no need for Gu Wei, the spokesperson to carry the black pot for the product, after the endorsement, in addition to shooting some promotional plane photos and advertising videos, there is usually nothing to do, and the money is easy to make.

"The quotation is basically between 5 million ~ 7 million a year, and if you sign for two years, you can talk about 15 million at most.

The new manufacturer is basically looking for us to make this offer, and I directly rejected it if it is lower than this. ”

Yang Liwen said with some excitement.

"Mr. Gu, the market price of your endorsement fee is now very close to the price of domestic first-line stars."

Gu Wei flipped through the list in his hand and glanced up at the agent.

It's only now, when the so-called 'four returned sons' come back at the end of this year, domestic entertainment will open the era of traffic, and the endorsement fees of celebrities will rise. ’

"Last year, those companies can continue to cooperate, these companies can join in, and forget the rest.

The endorsement contract is still signed for one year. ”

Gu Wei read them all, took out a few of them and handed them to Yang Liwen.

The new endorsements are Lay's potato chips, Yida chewing gum, Baicaowei, Master Kong iced tea, Mosen glasses, and Bosideng, several well-known big-name manufacturers.

"After signing the contract, discuss with the manufacturer, and the best place to shoot the advertisement is in Shanghai."

agreed with the agent about the endorsement, and Gu Wei flew back to Shanghai that night.

Although Gu Wei is not there, Yang Liwen, as an economist, has his own authorization and can sign the endorsement contract on his behalf.

The 11 endorses that were set received a total of 65 million endorsement fees.

This is still because Gu Weiyou chose the best among them, and passed a lot of small factories that seemed to have a lot of money, but were not famous.

And he signed a one-year contract, and celebrities in the industry usually sign endorsements for two years, manufacturers are willing to bet on the subsequent development of stars, and celebrities are also willing to make more money at a time.

Therefore, as long as Gu Wei relaxes his requirements a little, a small goal at a time is no longer a problem.

These are the benefits that the growing fame of [Tang Detective] brought to him after its release.

The receipt of this money, coupled with the return of [Tang Detective]'s box office revenue, will make Gu Wei's company's cash flow extremely abundant.

He also has to consider some other investments or consumption.
