"Uncle Dong has worked hard!" Hao Yun came up and gave Dong Ping a big hug.

Dong Ping called and said that the overseas copyright had been sold.

But he didn't say how much it was sold, saying that it was a surprise for Hao Yun.

Since it is a surprise, Hao Yun guessed that this overseas copyright may have been sold for about $1 million, otherwise it would not be a surprise.

"It's not hard, it's not hard, what's so hard about making money." Dong Ping laughed.

"Looking at Uncle Dong's mood, it is estimated that the overseas copyright must have been sold at a very high price." Hao Yun is very good at complimenting, when others want to pretend to be forced, you'd better cooperate.

It's also convenient for someone to cooperate with you the next time you pretend to be forced.

"It's okay, it's not too high," Dong Ping said modestly: "As far as I know, the remake rights of the "Infernal Affairs" series alone sold for $1.6 million. The overseas rights of the three films have been sold for millions of Hong Kong dollars, and these rights alone can basically recoup the cost. and Fang Long's "A Thousand Machine Changes", which sold for $8 million for overseas rights alone. ”

"Oh, Uncle Dong, you think too highly of me, it's good that the films made by a rookie director like me can be sold, how dare you think about comparing them with Fang Long. This time I dragged my feet, haha......" Hao Yun put the blame on himself.

"$1.2 million!"

Dong Ping didn't sell too much, said the harvest this time, and was very satisfied to see the expression of surprise and ecstasy on Hao Yun's face.

"Damn, 1.2 million, it's really fake!"

The price is indeed a bit unexpected.

Hao Yun originally thought that 800,000 US dollars would be good, but he didn't expect it to break through 1 million, and it was 1.2 million.

At the current exchange rate of 827.69 yuan per 100 US dollars, 1.2 million US dollars is equivalent to more than 9.9 million yuan.

Hao Yun only spent 4 million to make this movie.

In 2002, the State Administration of Taxation issued the Notice on Issues Concerning the Levy of Business Tax on the Transfer of Copyright (Guo Shui Fa [2001] No. 044), which stipulates that "if the transferred intangible assets are not used within the territory of China, no business tax shall be levied in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (4) of the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Provisional Regulations on Business Tax." ”

In other words, overseas copyrights do not need to pay business tax - if they are sold to TV stations in China and VCDs are sold, they have to be taxed 6%.

Excluding marketing expenses, there must also be 9 million in the account.

In this way, after deducting the cost, the movie still earned 5 million.

120% profit!

Who the hell says that making literary films is not profitable, at least in terms of the current film market, literary and artistic films are a little more stable than those so-called commercial products.

It's just not much.

Of course, the $1.2 million overseas copyright is due to Hao Yun winning the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes Film Festival.

The second is that Dong relies on the connections and goodwill accumulated by this literary film businessman for a long time.

If Hao Yun sells it himself, it would be good to be able to sell it for seven or eight hundred thousand dollars.

"Of the 1.2 million heads, 200,000 belong to the remake copyright, if one day you see a lot of remakes abroad, don't think that others have plagiarized yours."

"Uncle Dong is really powerful, the remake copyright of this kind of movie can be sold for 200,000 yuan, admire and admire, come and toast." Hao Yun said this very sincerely.

It was indeed a surprise to be able to meet Dong Ping.

Generally speaking, Dong Ping rarely operates a film made by a new director like him.

For example, Ning Hao, if he put his "Incense" in front of Dong Ping, it would not be disdainful, but he would definitely not put so much energy into it as he does now.

"The main thing is to make movies, and then let's look at the domestic market. The publicity was handed over to Huaying, and the people over there were more experienced and able to speak in terms of film scheduling. I estimate that at least a box office of 5 million to 10 million will come out. ”

"Uncle Dong, it's good for you to call the shots." Hao Yun doesn't have much nonsense, he doesn't bother to point fingers at things he doesn't understand.

"Now it's your new movie."

"By the way, Uncle Dong, I plan to start the new movie in July to catch up with the schedule of next year's graduation season, what do you think?" Hao Yun hasn't discussed this matter with Dong Ping.

"It's not a big problem, professional people do professional things, and you definitely know better than me in terms of content."

Although Dong Ping was a little surprised, he had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he had long been surprised.

Compared with those big guides who are constantly operating, Hao Yun is as pure as a little white sheep.

"Then there's the matter of funds, although the start date of filming has been determined, but the money has not yet arrived, if I still ask these previous uncles for help, what do you think, Uncle Dong?"

Hao Yun wanted to hear Dong Ping's opinion.

"Of course you can, you can call them and send a letter to the cooperating Yi Meier, they will continue to cooperate if they want to participate, and if they don't want to participate, we don't have to worry about not having enough money.

If you can contact the capital of Hong Kong and Taiwan, it would be better to add two co-producers. I think that the market of youth films, Hong Kong and Taiwan are more mature than us, and they can be handed over to operate when the time comes. ”

Dong Jian considered Hao Yun purely from a professional point of view.

For the time being, he has no intention of swallowing all the shares of Hao Yun's side in one gulp.

And he doesn't rely on investing in movies to make money, investing in movies is only one aspect of the income.

An operation master like him who draws 10% is a preferential price, and he helped Hao Yun sell the overseas copyright of "Heart Labyrinth", at least he can earn 80~1 million.

Of course, Dong Ping's ambition is not just to operate the overseas rights of films.

Financial operation at the capital level is its ultimate goal.

For example, backdoor listing, and then by signing various well-known directors and making movies to raise the stock price, so as to obtain huge profits.

But there is a prerequisite for doing this, which is that he must have enough money and enough connections.

"Xiangjiang and Wanwan know each other, Xiangjiang can contact Mr. Lin Jianyue, and the "No. 1 in the World" that I just participated in in Wanwan was invested by Mr. Yang Kuideng."

The actor is actually okay, Chen Guanxi is the actor, and the actor has just signed five movies with Jiang Wen.

Signing with Jiang Shu is equivalent to signing with his apprentice.

"Okay, you can introduce me to each other then, and I'll talk to them." Dong Ying didn't expect that the capital that Hao Yun knew was quite high.

Xiangjiang's capital has already gone through several rounds of upgrading, and at present, Huanyu and the Movie King are the emerging overlords.

And Wanwan naturally can't escape the eight major film companies, and Yang Kuideng is one of them.

"I'll estimate a budget in a few days, and I'll trouble Uncle Dong then."

The cooperation between Hao Yun and Dong Ping is basically the sharing of the relationship between the two people, Hao Yun can catch up with Dong Ping's connections, and Dong Ping can also get closer to Hao Yun's connections while cooperating.

Hao Yun discussed some details with him, and they parted after the meal.

It was not easy to go back to the capital, and many things needed to be solved by him.

For the movie "Burst Drummer", Hao Yun is only a novice in the drum kit, and he is exposed to rock drum kits, not jazz drums as stated in the script.

He didn't even know much about the development of jazz in the country.

I only know that this is a relatively high-end and relatively niche music field.

So he needed some professional people to help him revise the script together.

The first thing that came to mind must be his musical instrument teacher Li Meng.

I haven't seen Teacher Li Meng for many days, and I miss it a little strangely.

Originally, I was going to invite Teacher Li Meng to dinner in the evening, but Teacher Li Meng said that she didn't eat at night and has been busy losing weight recently.

In fact, some fat cannot be reduced, and there is no need to lose it.

But Hao Yun will definitely not say this kind of thing to Li Meng, it is called deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors.

Teacher Li Meng was surprised that Hao Yun wrote a script for music.

And it's also in terms of drum kits.

In her opinion, Hao Yun is a jazz novice, where does she have the confidence to write jazz-related scripts.

However, Hao Yun is the best screenwriter at the Cannes Film Festival, and the more poor the knowledge, the more imagination there is.

To put it simply, the dish is better than the mind.

Teacher Li Meng's body structure is not suitable for drumming, and it is very hard to shake it around.

So, what she is best at is not playing drums, especially jazz drums.

She can't be this film consultant, she is going to take Hao Yun to visit her ancestor - Professor Liu Guangsi tonight.

Born in 1934, Mr. Liu Guangsi is a famous music educator, percussionist, professor of percussion at the Orchestra Department of the Central Conservatory of Music, vice president of the Chinese Percussion Society, and vice president of the Percussion Society of the Chinese Musicians Association.

He was praised by the media as the "father of Chinese percussion".

During his decades of percussion career, he wrote and wrote a large number of percussion textbooks.

His students are represented by many professional music groups and music academies in our country.

Hao Yun is now his apprentice.

Disciples and grandchildren, even if they are apprentices of disciples, they are also disciples, and there is no such thing as a great-grandson.

Although Li Meng loves money, he is not ambiguous at all when he buys things.

"Mr. Zhao likes fruits, but his teeth are not very good, so he can only eat softer ones." Li Meng led the way, and Hao Yun followed behind with two bags of fruit, watching him knock on someone's door.

It was an old lady who opened the door.

"Lao Zhao, Mengmeng came to see you, and brought a guy."

It seems that Li Meng and this family are quite familiar.

Mr. Liu Guangsi is 70 years old. It looks no different from the old man who can be seen everywhere in BJ.

After a polite exchange, Hao Yun chatted with him about Chinese percussion.

I mainly want to understand whether the script of "Bursting Drummer" will be too inconsistent in the field of Chinese jazz if it is placed at the moment.

Mr. Liu Guangsi is very talkative.

In response to the question of good luck, he gave a detailed answer.

Back then, when he first arrived at the Central Conservatory of Music, the percussion major was divided under the orchestral department, and one student was recruited for each grade, and there were a total of four percussion majors in the school.

A decent set of drums could not be found in the entire conservatory.

In addition to musical instruments, there is also a scarcity of teaching materials.

When Francois Mitterrand, the French presidential candidate, visited China, he brought a lot of percussion scores.

Teachers in China have even locked them in boxes to treasure them.

Professor Liu Guangsi felt that this was a rare learning material, but generously shared it with several students, and everyone checked the foreign dictionary to translate music scores and teaching materials, all on their own.

But jazz is also growing very fast.

In the 90s of the last century, there was a small climax of the percussion major.

A large number of domestic and foreign films are artificially dubbed by the performers, and the band plays live next to the film while the film is shown.

Foreign classic films such as "Jane Eyre", "The Godfather", "The Sound of Music" and domestic "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" and "Red Detachment of Women" are all deeply loved by the audience.

More than ten years have passed, and both jazz majors and jazz performances have grown on a large scale.

Liu Guangsi also listed several drummers in the rock circle for Hao Yun, who graduated from percussion majors, mainly the Central Conservatory of Music and the Shencheng Conservatory of Music.

Therefore, it is no problem for Hao Yun's script to set the story in a domestic conservatory, and he suggested that Li Meng take Hao Yun to watch a few jazz performances to feel the atmosphere.

If it weren't for Hao Yun leaving tomorrow, Mr. Liu Guangsi would definitely take Hao Yun to the Central Conservatory of Music for a field trip.

The invitation of the script consultant of "Bursting Drummer", Mr. Liu Guangsi did not refuse.

Although Hao Yun's story is a bit artistic, it at least provides a window for ordinary people to understand jazz.

Hao Yun kept the script that he had already revised.

Next time, he will come over to discuss the details with the old professor, anyway, this script will definitely not be filmed until next year, and he is not in a hurry.
