At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 494 It's just writing a song, what money do you charge?

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

"Don't be modest, I've heard Sister Hua say that the actor was suggested by you..."

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

"Then I also want to thank Brother Chen for his theater support. I heard that 15 shows were arranged directly on the first day?"

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

Shen Xudong expressed his understanding: "Hollywood blockbusters do have a large audience. I usually watch Hollywood blockbusters when I go to cinemas now. Otherwise, I will feel that my movie box office money was spent unjustly!"

"The Da Vinci Code" grossed over [-] million yuan in the mainland, while "Poseidon" was a disaster film, or a purely special effects film.

"Poseidon", a large investment of US$1.6 million, is a remake of the classic disaster film "The Adventures of Poseidon" in 1972. North America did not buy it, and it only reported US$6200 million. 1.2 million…

That is to say, it has caught up with the explosion of "Stone", otherwise, it is very likely to exceed [-] million.

Boss Chen then asked: "Is there 3000 million earned?"

"…almost."

How much did The Stone earn?
The account is 4100 million, minus the cost, it is 2100 million, plus the copyright income, it is about 3400 million...

The overseas copyright was directly given to Andy Lau's Celestial Entertainment, and by the way, a share of 400 million was given...

It's very humane. In the contract signed at the beginning, Celestial Pictures only had overseas copyrights.

Boss Chen sighed: "You are still amazing, I heard that "The Promise" lost at least [-] million!"

"...Who did you hear from?"

"It's spreading in your circle... isn't it saying that many places have refunded money!"

"..."The Promise" is really deceiving people. We used to take the movie overseas, and we could sell the copyright by watching the clip. 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 okay... Jackie Chan starred in it, and it's mainly action scenes. Overseas copyrights are very easy to sell..."

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

"Now he does not receive a salary for Chinese-language films, and directly converts the salary into the cost... "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" has a production cost of 1.2 million. His film salary counts as 40% of the investment, and the movie income is given priority to him..."

"40%... so much?"

"40% is already very face-saving. This project is because of his investment and overseas income."

Overseas copyright income was 2700 million U.S. dollars, and Jackie Chan directly took 40%, which is 1080 million U.S. dollars...

Jackie Chan is now accepting a movie, and he can refer to Zhou Runfa to accept it according to Hollywood standards - at least 2000 million US dollars, or 1500 million US dollars + 20% income...

But he didn't, he just didn't charge money, and asked for 40% of the income!
He really has the ability to sell ports overseas, so Emperor, Huayi, including the later Sparkle Roll, have been cooperating with him.

Shen Xudong changed the subject: "By the way, where is Jing Tian?"

"She's studying at the dance academy...I'll call her, where shall we go?"

"...Why don't you go to the Oulante Club, it's quite quiet there."

Boss Chen had obviously heard of the Orante Club—the club run by Wang Jianlin's wife. He agreed, and then said, "I thought you were going to take me to the China Club!"

"The China Club is more famous, and the food is not good."

……

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

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

With that time, he still has to write a book!
After accepting the customized text of "Perfect World", Shen Xudong plans to publish 600 million words in 24 volumes, and it is only now beginning...

Shen Haobo has already contacted the publishing house to develop the manga version and the novel version at the same time, and if possible, it will be made into an animation.

IP development...

It doesn't matter to Shen Xudong, "Buddha is the Way" won't allow him to write, this time "Perfect World", finally he can blatantly 'write' fantasy!

In the past few days, he was thinking about the general plot, and then wrote the outline. After the opening, the rest was simple—Little Shitou's hard-fought journey against the sky!

Pulling back, he took Boss Chen to the Oulant Club, asked for a box, and ordered food.

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

"...Give me some of your special dishes...and a bottle of red wine..."

Shen Xudong asked for him: "Is there any Sprite, two bottles!"

"OK…"

waiter leaves...

"Brother, do you also like sprite with red wine?"

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

"You are the best, so calm, I have added Sprite before, and then I was ridiculed for being old-fashioned... and they said that Europeans spent hundreds of years getting sugar out of wine, and Chinese people have all the sprite back in a glass of Sprite..."

Shen Xudong shook his head: "Don't worry about them, Europeans drink tea with sugar and milk... If you want me to say, food has no fixed taste, but those who are palatable are precious! Red wine is not allowed to add Sprite, just a bunch of people who are full and have nothing to do pretend to be nobles, It's a blind rule... Let me tell you that fermented glutinous rice mixed with dry red wine, the taste is absolutely amazing, after one sip, the whole person is stupefied, I don't drink much, but I think it tastes great!"

When Boss Chen heard this, he immediately became greedy: "Really? Then I will try..."

"...Then I'll ask the waiter to serve a pot of rice bar!"

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

"That's right, I like to drink like this, can you control it... If there is a chance, I must insert a special part in 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, the facial lines are a bit hard, and she lacks affinity...

"Teacher Shen..."

"You can still call me by my name...or my brother!"

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

"...Yo, you still watch "Zhu Xian", which character do you like?"

"Baguio! I like 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 book writers to get mixed up in the circle...

With a halo, monthly throws are more casual!
Boss Zhao interrupted: "By the way, have you finished writing the song I told you earlier?"

"It's finished, three songs."

Shen Xudong took out his laptop from his bag, clicked on it, and the master tapes of three songs: "The Longer I Grow, the Lonelier I Get", "Last Summer" and "Summer Wind"...

"It's all suitable for a girl your age to sing... It doesn't require any advanced singing skills..."

Boss Chen took a look: "...Three songs... Then according to the rules, should I give you 150 million?"

"It's just writing a song. I'm on my own. What money are we talking about?"
