Chapter 188 Propaganda
  "Where do you live?" Fan Binbin asked immediately.

"The house I rented." Wang Shu told him a rough address, but did not specify the exact location.

"Didn't you buy a house?" Fan Binbin was a little surprised.

"Buried Alive", "My Girlfriend is a Nine-tailed Fox", and "The Tuner" should have made Wang Shu some money.

Still renting?

"I'm too busy and don't have time to look at houses. I plan to buy one next year." Wang Shu said with a smile.

"What kind of house do you plan to buy?" Fan Binbin was stunned after hearing this.

"I should probably buy a villa." Wang Shu said his plan.

"What price?" Fan Binbin asked subconsciously when he heard that Wang Shu wanted to buy a villa.

"About ten million." Wang Shu said an ambiguous number.

If he has sufficient funds next year, he plans to buy a villa worth less than 30 million to live in.

The nationwide housing price surge started in the first wave in 2008 and reached the second wave in 2016, and then emptied the wealth of tens of millions of people.

Next year is 2007. Although housing prices will be slightly higher than in 2006, they are far from as sharp as after 2008.

He doesn't have enough funds now, so he can wait.

Last month, his company's account received dividends from the box office of the movie "The Tuner", totaling more than 8 million yuan.

In terms of investment in this film, China Film Group accounted for 60%, Guangguang Film Group accounted for 25%, and Wang Shu’s Yishu Company accounted for 15%.

The total box office is 1.6 million. After deducting special film funds, taxes, and theater chain shares, there is still about 6100 million left.

The producers and investors cannot distribute the 6100 million as dividends at this time. Before that, the distributor’s agency distribution share needs to be deducted.

一般.占比在于制片方和投资方那部分中的5%-15%，也就是占有6100万中的5%-15%。

It’s just that in many cases, the distributor will advance the film’s promotional and distribution costs.

At this time, the issuer will charge an agency issuance fee of 12-20%.

If the issuer commits to a guaranteed issuance, buyout of issuance, prepayment of production costs, etc., it will charge higher distribution agency fees.

The publisher of "The Tuner" has an agency distribution fee of 8%, which is 6100% of about 8, or about 480 million.

After deducting this part, the remaining movie box office of about 5600 million is the total box office that the producers and investors can share.

Wang Shu accounts for 15%, 5600W*15% is equal to 840 million.

In short, the total share of the movie box office that producers and investors can share, after deducting special film funds, taxes, theater lines, and distributors, can probably share about 31% of the total box office.

The producer and investors will then divide their respective dividends from this 31% according to the investment ratio.

This proportion will rise to 33% later.

The box office dividend settlement period after a movie is released is generally 3-6 months.

Wang Shu's company account received its first box office dividend from "The Tuner" in early July, exactly six months ago.

After the movie box office is released, there will be a secondary dividend, mainly in TV station copyright dividends, overseas copyright dividends, online copyright dividends, business cooperation, advertising placement, related derivatives, etc.

The period for these dividends is also 3-6 months.

However, it is 3-6 months after the movie is released in theaters and the theater chain pays dividends for the first time.

In the second dividend of TV copyright dividends, the income is mainly reflected in the relatively well-known TV and movie channels.

There are usually two ways of cooperation.

First, the TV station directly purchases the copyright and broadcasts it on the TV channel, and the film's producers and investors will receive corresponding copyright benefits.

Second, the copyright is purchased at a lower price and the income is calculated based on the number of views. The income of the producers and investors is linked to the number of views of the movie.

Regarding the dividends from overseas copyright income, after the movie is released, the producer will promote the movie abroad and export culture to the outside world.

Generally speaking, as long as the copyright of a movie is subscribed, no matter what method or channel the movie is publicly screened, all public screening channels can legally and compliantly enjoy corresponding income rights.

As for Internet copyright dividends, it can be ignored in the current era.

The remaining business cooperation, advertising placement, related derivatives, etc. are patch advertising, brand placement, and peripherals, etc.

Fan Binbin was a little surprised when he heard that Wang Shu wanted to buy a villa worth tens of millions.

As an industry insider in the film and television industry, she clearly knows that even if "The Tuner" has a box office of 1.6 million and "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox" becomes a hit, the profit that will eventually be distributed to Wang Shu will not be much.

What's more, after "The Tuner" was released, Wang Shu also invested in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "Time Traveler", and several idol dramas.

In addition, the company's daily expenses and so on.

The funds in Wang Shu's hands should not be sufficient.

Where did you get the money to buy a multi-million dollar villa?

Fan Binbin just thought Wang Shu was bragging.

It was only when Wang Shu was upset at the premiere of "Space Traveler" that he boasted in front of her.

You know, in 2006, the salary for her and Zhou Xun's TV series was only 8W per episode.

Fan Binbin saw through it without revealing it, and said with a smile: "It's a villa worth tens of millions, then I will go and sit there."

"Welcome anytime." Wang Shu said with a smile when he heard this.

Fan Binbin curled his lips when he heard this.

The two chatted for a while and hung up the phone.

Fan Binbin didn't think that Wang Shu had no money, but that it was impossible for Wang Shu to spend tens of millions of dollars to buy a villa at once.

Because even if you have this money, it will be used to run the company, not just to buy a villa.

She would make such a judgment only because she, as an industry insider in the film and television industry, judged Wang Shu after he established a film and television company.

She didn't know that Wang Shu had other companies.

Little did he know that the popularity of yo-yo had made Wang Shu earn a lot.

After ending the phone call with Fan Binbin, Wang Shu immediately called Xu Huanhuan.

This time, he still gave a reasonable reason to let Xu Huanhuan know that he didn't answer the phone right away because he was busy with something, not because he didn't answer the phone on purpose.

The two chatted for a while, and Wang Shu called Ning Jing and others.

He answered all the missed calls on his mobile phone one by one and gave corresponding reasons to explain according to the time difference.

After doing this, he replied to Yang Mi, Yang Ruoxi, Jiang Xin, Shu Chang and others who sent him text messages.

"Director Wang, the movie is very good. I have a hunch that it will definitely be a hit." Yang Mi.

"Your hunch? Why do I think it's unreliable?" Wang Shu replied.

"Director Wang, "Space Traveler" is so beautiful, you are really amazing." Yang Ruoxi.

"Haha, as long as you like it." Wang Shu replied.

"Director Wang, "Space Traveler" is a great movie. I wish it a great box office success." Jiang Xin. “Thank you, and I wish you success in your career.” Wang Shu.

"Director Wang, the movie is very beautiful and well shot." Shu advocated.

"Haha, as long as you like it." Wang Shu.

After he quickly replied to many people's messages, text messages from Yang Mi, Yang Ruoxi and others came again.

However, texting is not the same as talking on the phone.

We can only talk on the phone one-on-one.

Send text messages. As long as your hand speed is fast enough, you can chat with multiple people at the same time.

Wang Shu's hand speed is very fast. He is sending text messages to many people at the same time.

My fingers are just a little tired.

At the same time, some film critics who were invited to watch the premiere of "Space Traveler" also posted their comments on the Internet after watching the movie.

One film critic wrote: "After watching Wang Shu's "Time Traveler," I want to say that time travel is just a gimmick, and the most important thing is family love."

"When the protagonist discovers that even if we can travel through time and space, we still cannot avoid the tragedies of life, such as the death of loved ones, and there is nothing we can do. This is probably what touched me the most."

"The ultimate theme is still to learn to love, learn to live, and cherish every day with your loved ones. This is easy to say, but in reality it is quite difficult."

"The same should be true in life!"

"Although, for a purely commercial film, artistic quality accounts for very little, and it is more commercial."

"But the artistry of "Space Traveler" is just right. It is both commercial and artistic. It is a high-quality and high-quality film."

"As for "Space Traveler", it has some artistic qualities. This is a common problem among many art film directors."

"After all, we all know that Wang Shu made his debut in art films."

"Some directors who have been making art films for a long time always want to add some artistry to commercial films when they make commercial films. The result is basically force-feeding, and the films are nondescript."

"As for Wang Shu, I have to say that a director who was able to win awards in Berlin and Cannes at the age of 20 has real abilities."

"This movie has more artistry, which directly sublimates the film!"

"The script was written by Wang Shu, and the film was shot by Wang Shu."

"After watching this movie, I was not only amazed at the high quality of the film, but also amazed at the fact that a great director seems to be born in our country."

"Finally, I strongly recommend that everyone wait until "Space Traveler" is officially released to go to the cinema."

"This movie is of high quality and definitely worth the price of admission. You will definitely regret not watching it."

Another film critic wrote on the Internet: "After watching Wang Shu's "Time Traveler", I finally feel like some directors are not only making movies about old wine in new bottles, but also movies about old wine in new bottles. .”

"All year round, except for movies about those themes, there is nothing new at all. It really makes people vomit."

"Wang Shu's "Time Traveler" is different. After watching it, I rekindled my hope in our Chinese-language films."

"Wang Shu's "Time Traveler" has beautiful casting, beautiful music, beautiful styling, beautiful shots, beautiful plot, and beautiful lines. Such a good-feeling movie, I almost forgot how beautiful love is. Sorry, but the movie not only describes love, but also warm family, family affection, and life."

"Of course, these are not the most important!"

"The important thing is that "Space Traveler" is a movie with new ideas that can make people's eyes shine!"

"It can be said that the emergence of "Space Traveler" is definitely an epoch-making work for our Chinese-language films."

"It doesn't mean how artistic this movie is, but it means it is innovative!"

"It is breaking the long-standing pattern of our Chinese-language films."

"Needless to say, I think everyone knows that a certain movie was released a few days ago and a certain movie will be released in the New Year."

"Two of the country's leading directors have assembled a cast of big-name stars, but all of them are putting old wine in new bottles and filming historical adaptations to death."

"What are all these things?"

"Look at America!"

"Look at Hollywood."

“There are movies of all kinds!”

"On the other hand, here we have a bunch of well-known directors making old wine in new bottles all day long to fool the audience."

"It's ridiculous."

Many netizens who were still staying up late saw many film critics' comments about "Space Traveler" and started talking about it one after another.

"No, I saw Director Feng on the Internet in the evening saying that Wang Shu's "Love Traveler" will be squeezed out of the living space by "Baby Project" starring Chen Long. He seemed to look down on "Love Traveler". Why? Things started to go wrong at night?" Some netizens asked knowingly.

"Feng Xiaogang: The clown in "Love Traveler". Film critic: "Love Traveler" beats Feng Xiaogang." Some netizens concluded.

"Is "Space Traveler" really good to watch? Why do so many celebrities say it's good to watch?" a netizen asked.

At this moment, not only many netizens were staying up late, but Feng Xiaogang was also unable to sleep.

When he thought of what he said during the interview, he felt ashamed.

Although he did not attend the premiere of "Lovers in Time and Space", many acquaintances told him about their impressions after watching "Lovers in Time and Space".

If it's just one person saying yes, then maybe that's not the case.

But if everyone is saying yes, then there is an explanation.

Early the next morning, Wang Shu got up from bed and washed up.

Then go to the airport and head to the Magic City with Sun Li and others.

As soon as he got on the plane, he closed his eyes to catch up on his sleep.

He slept too late last night, so he didn't get a good rest.

After sleeping in the Magic City, in the afternoon, we started the premiere event in the Magic City.

The entourage in the company took advantage of the opportunity to tell him about the heated discussion on the Internet about "Space Traveler". Since he was busy with work, he only listened briefly and didn't pay attention.

After finishing the promotional activities for the premiere in Shanghai, we flew to Chengdu, Yangcheng and other places.

In a blink of an eye, it’s September 9th.

"Baby Project" starring Chen Long, Louis Koo, Gao Yuanyuan and others held its premiere ceremony in Beijing.

In fact, as early as September 9, "Baby Project" had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival.

The purpose of premiering at the Venice Film Festival is of course not to participate in the awards. This kind of film would not be selected even if it wanted to participate.

Its purpose is to promote the film on the stage of the Venice Film Festival.

As an exhibition film, the premiere time arranged by the Venice Film Festival Organizing Committee for "Baby Project" was not ideal.

However, this does not hinder the enthusiasm of movie fans for Chen Long, especially the Chinese who do business in Venice. Almost all their families come out to support Chen Long.

And Gao Yuanyuan even appeared in a black and white "crane costume".
