Chapter 401 Shooting and Settlement

The next day, afternoon.

Ye Zhi is finally back.

The God of Wealth drove directly to the headquarters of Three Sheep Tea. On the way to the office, many employees were looking around, wanting to see the stars.

"I'm exhausted."

When he arrived at the office, Ye Zhi took off his mask and casually lay down on the sofa, just as casually as if he was at home, except that he didn't look very good.

"Cough cough."

A girl in her twenties next to her coughed twice.

"Oh, Sister Shanshan, I'm back home now, there's no need to be so particular." Ye Zhi sat up and complained to the girl with a wry smile.

"Who is this?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Jing Shanshan, the assistant assigned to Ye Zhi by the company, was in charge of Ye Zhi's clothing and makeup during the recording of the program. She is very capable and a nice person."

The God of Wealth next to him introduced with a smile.

Chen Yuan understood.

The assistant arranged by the company should be responsible for the coordination and management of Ye Zhi's work affairs, and be responsible for supporting the artist's work affairs.

Although he is affiliated with the company, it is not difficult to judge from the words of the God of Wealth that the relationship between them is still very good and he may become a personal assistant.

"Hello, I'm Chen Yuan."

Chen Yuan took the initiative to extend his hand and say hello.

No matter what the relationship between Jing Shanshan and Ye Zhi is, the assistant is responsible for coordinating and managing the work of the artists, and dealings with them are inevitable during filming.

But with the God of Wealth looking after her, I believe Jing Shanshan is really good.

"Hello." Jing Shanshan responded with a smile on her face and stretched out her hand, bowing slightly when shaking hands.

"Boss Chen, when do we start filming?"

After introducing Jing Shanshan, Ye Zhi looked directly at Chen Yuan and asked.

"You just came back, take a good rest first and start tomorrow." Chen Yuan was not in a hurry to start working. After all, Ye Zhi looked more tired than Liang Qianyue.

"Will there be enough time?" Ye Zhi asked.

"Have you read the plan?" Chen Yuan smiled and asked instead of answering.

"I've watched it several times. It's just a short play of a few minutes. It shouldn't be difficult." Ye Zhi smiled confidently.

Although he is not an actor and has never acted in a play, the advertisement is in the form of a short play, which only lasts about two minutes in total.

She can recite the details of the lines by heart, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

"There is also a promotional song, with Chen..."

Ye Zhi continued to speak, almost hiding the secret, saying that it was not difficult to arrange the melody and lyrics sung by Chen Yuan. Fortunately, he stopped talking at the end.

"Boss Chen gave me the exact direction. It's not difficult to create. Do you want to listen to it now?"

Speaking of the promotional song, Jing Shanshan seemed to want to say something, but in the end she swallowed the words back and didn't say anything in front of everyone.

Of course she knew that Ye Zhi was composing a new song, and she thought it would be a classic folk song, or a pop song with profound meaning like "Homeward Journey".

But when she heard Ye Zhi humming, she found that it was simply a pop song. She didn't even want to call it a song. She was worried that Three Sheep would use Ye Zhi's new song as a gimmick for publicity.

By then, the new song will be too different from what people imagined, which will most likely disappoint fans, and the fans and fame that have been hard-earned may suffer a huge blow.

"Since you think there's no problem with it, then there's no need to rush. As for the promotional song, just give it a listen. This isn't a new song being released. It's just a promotional advertisement in the form of the animation." Chen Yuan smiled calmly.

When he saw Jing Shanshan's reaction, he knew what she was worried about after a quick thought. After all, he had thought about this before, and some influences must be avoided.

Sure enough, when Jing Shanshan heard this, she was obviously relieved, and the smile on her face became more natural and sincere.

"In that case, let's go home first and come back tomorrow morning." Ye Zhi said with a smile.

"Okay." Chen Yuan nodded with a smile.

"Xiao Ye Zi, you are amazing. Next time I have the chance, I will definitely go to watch your performance." After finishing the serious business, Chen Li took Ye Zhi aside to chat.

"Haha, if I really have the opportunity to hold a concert in the future, I will definitely reserve the best seat for Sister Li so that she can perform on the same stage with me." Ye Zhi said with a smile.

She had contact with Chen Li and had been to Yucheng Village many times before. She had a good relationship with Chen Li. Moreover, Chen Yuan was the main contributor to her current achievements. Chen Yuan's sister was her sister.

It also includes Liu Na, although I have never met her.

"How's the tournament going?"

The God of Wealth also took advantage of this rare free time and pulled Chen Yuan to the corridor outside, took out a cigarette, and chatted while smoking.

"The three categories of competitions are almost all over. The second category competitions haven't started yet. The national finals of the first category competitions will be held next month. The preliminaries for the special category competitions haven't started yet. Which competition do you want to participate in?"

Chen Yuan took the cigarette and joked with a smile.

"I can participate in four types of competitions." The God of Wealth laughed.

He definitely has no chance or qualification to participate in these events, and even if he goes, he will only be a runner-up and will be eliminated in the first round of qualifiers.

He doesn't have high demands and occasionally participating in the Chong City Fishing Association's competitions is enough for him.

Take your time.

"What does Xiaoye say here? Do you want to take it?"

After talking about fishing, Chen Yuan asked about Ye Zhi's future development arrangements.

"I also have a company to develop, okay?" The God of Wealth shook his head while smoking a cigarette.

He is committed to developing the animation industry. This time he brought Ye Zhi to participate in the contestant program just to pave the way for Ye Zhi. It is impossible for him to bring her along forever.

"Then follow the company's arrangements?" Chen Yuan asked again, taking a look inside.

"Jing Shanshan is not."

The God of Wealth understood what Chen Yuan meant, and shook his head again, saying, "Originally the company was going to arrange an agent directly, but this matter has been postponed a little while they try to find a good candidate."

What the God of Wealth said was very simple, but Chen Yuan could guess a little.

An agent is very important for an artist, although a good agent may not necessarily produce a successful artist.

But behind every successful artist, there must be a very wise agent.

And since the God of Wealth did not choose to be Ye Zhi's agent, based on their family's connections in the industry, he would definitely find a very reliable agent for Ye Zhi.

"No matter who we find in the end, Ye Zhi is positioned as a singer. Especially in the important early stages of development, we must not be impatient for quick success." Chen Yuan reminded.

"To be honest, Boss Chen is the most perfect candidate in my mind. It's a pity that I can't afford him." The God of Wealth nodded, and suddenly looked at Chen Yuan and smiled.

Even though Chen Yuan started from a small pond, he is now far ahead of him in terms of scale and performance, so he cannot be hired at all.

"Haha, I'm not suitable for this." Chen Yuan smiled and waved his hands.

"Boss Chen is too modest."

The God of Wealth pointed to the next door and said, "Do you know how popular Yucheng Film and Television is now? Even an outsider like me often sees news about Yucheng Film and Television."

"From the analysis of the best hits of online movies to the stunning positioning of artists, there are countless articles analyzing or praising them."

"To be frank, in the field of online movies, Boss Chen has already built a film and television empire. If Boss Chen is not suitable, who else dares to say he is suitable?" Chen Yuan shook his head and smiled, not taking it seriously at all.

too exaggerated.

What kind of film and television empire? It’s a world away.

Nothing at all.

At best, we analyze the models of high-quality blockbuster products in the industry, study the online movies of Yucheng Film and Television, and develop routines to imitate them.

This was not uncommon in the early stages of the development of online movies. During the era of wild growth, it was already full of various imitation routines.

There are very few who focus on content, but many who directly apply models or popularity and regard online movies as a springboard to make money. If it were not for subsequent supervision by various departments, who knows what this industry would have developed into.

After finishing a cigarette, the God of Wealth and his men left.

After competing outside for a few months and finally winning the championship as a singer-songwriter, he must go home to reunite and celebrate. This is one of the reasons why Chen Yuan was not in a hurry to shoot.

"We'll get everything ready tonight and start shooting tomorrow."

After Ye Zhi and the others left, Chen Yuan and the others began to prepare for the work.

……

In the next few days, Three Sheep Tea focused on advertising shooting and promotional song recording, and everyone in the company was busy.

Chen Yuan also followed the whole process.

The overall shooting went relatively smoothly and all the shoots were completed within the specified time. The next step is production and promotion. As long as the funds are in place, Three Sheep will start nationwide market promotion.

Both direct sales and franchising are being promoted simultaneously.

"What do you think, Boss Chen? Do I have the potential to act in a movie?"

After the filming, Ye Zhi and the others prepared to say goodbye to Chen Yuan.

"There is great potential. If you are interested, Yucheng Film and Television welcomes you at any time, and Passerby A is always ready for you." Chen Yuan joked.

Ye Zhi pursed his lips but didn't care.

She is not very interested in filming, music is her pursuit.

"Boss Chen, we'll be leaving now. Please feel free to contact us if you need anything later." The God of Wealth came over and shook hands with Chen Yuan to say goodbye. The second half of his sentence was also from the heart.

Of course, he knew how important Chen Yuan played a role in Ye Zhi's current success, so as long as Chen Yuan needed to endorse or attend something, Ye Zhi would definitely not refuse.

There is no need to worry about signing with a company, as this has already been discussed when signing the contract.

"We were short on time this time and couldn't get together properly. We must get together properly next time we come back." Chen Yuan shook hands and patted the God of Wealth on the shoulder.

"Sure." The God of Wealth nodded with a smile.

"Boss Chen, we'll be leaving first. We'll get together next time. Sister Li, Sister Na, Qianyue, please come back to visit us next time." Ye Zhi waved goodbye.

Chen Li and the others waved goodbye.

"Boss Chen, I'm going to go to Yucheng Film and Television. If I have enough time, I will go back to school. We can get together again next time if there is a chance." After watching Ye Zhi and the others leave, Liang Qianyue was also ready to leave.

There is no time to stay in the adult world, everyone is busy running for life.

"Okay, the finance department will settle the remuneration soon." Chen Yuan nodded and smiled.

"Don't be in a hurry." Liang Qianyue smiled faintly.

She is not short of money, or rather, she has no need for money.

"I'll leave the rest to you guys."

After Ye Zhi and Liang Qianyue left, Chen Yuan looked at Chen Li and Liu Na and said.

"We will follow up on the production and arrange the publicity and promotion. You just need to focus on the funding." Liu Na nodded and said jokingly.

Chen Yuan raised his finger and pointed at Liu Na, shaking his head and smiling helplessly.

The thing Liu Na talks about most now is money.

But there is no way, Liu Na is the person in charge of marketing, which is the key link in the success of the Three Sheep Tea brand and also the most expensive link.

She can't move forward without money.

Not to mention marketing, even direct sales cannot be rolled out.

"Once the settlement is received from Yucheng Film and Television, it will definitely be transferred to the Three Sheep account as soon as possible." Chen Yuan assured with a smile, and then withdrew.

After the filming of the brand endorsement advertisement is completed, he has nothing to do here. The rest will be handed over to Liu Na and others, and he will be responsible for the funding.

It didn't take too long.

At the end of the middle of the month, Qin Fen brought good news that his share of the box office revenue from the first film of Taoist Priest had been settled successfully.

"Haha, brother, the box office is settled."

As soon as the money arrived, Qin Fen called excitedly.

"Has Yucheng Film and Television done the profit calculations in advance?" Chen Yuan was also very happy. The Three Sheep were just waiting for the funds to start advertising and vigorously promote the market.

"Xie Di is in charge of this matter. After the profit-sharing period is over, he will calculate the profits, including distribution and various rewards." Qin Fen said with a smile.

"Group video call."

Chen Yuan decisively hung up the phone, found the group of three of them, and started a group video chat.

"Xie Di, please tell me about your revenue data."

After the video call was connected, Chen Yuan asked directly.

"Haha, I've already got the revenue data, and I'm just waiting for it to arrive for review. I was just about to contact you, but you guys were faster."

Xie Di smiled brightly, after all, it was the first pot of gold for Yucheng Film and Television, and the amount was huge, so it was indeed worth being happy.

Then he took out the revenue data document and reported excitedly,

"The total box office revenue of the first part of Taoist Priest is 2562.74 million yuan. Because Yucheng Film and Television enjoys the preferential tax refund policy, all of it can be credited to the account."

This is the enterprise support policy subsidy given by Chen Dong, which is levied and refunded immediately. It is equivalent to the various business taxes paid by Yucheng Film and Television, which will be returned to the account in a timely manner.

"Among them, we need to return 1962.74 million to the Yucheng Village head office, leaving 102.5 million. According to the box office dividend benefits enjoyed by the editorial department, Boss Chen can get a reward of million."

The scripts edited by the Screenwriting Department are not purchased. All employees in the Screenwriting Department are paid a base salary plus commission. The base salary is the wage, and the commission is the box office dividend. The specific dividend ratio has long been announced.

The screenwriter of the drama "Taoist" is Chen Yuan. According to the dividend standards, he can enjoy a dividend of 4% of the total box office, which is over one million yuan per book.

According to this welfare label, as long as a screenwriter can write a series of high-quality hits, it is not difficult for him to get millions in dividends. For a screenwriter, this may not be as good as the price of a first-line script, but it is not bad either.

"The main cast will receive 205% of the box office dividends, totaling million." Xie Di continued talking about the rewards and benefits for the cast.

This is not fixed. Firstly, not all actors are eligible to enjoy the box office share. Only those in the leading cast are eligible.

The profit sharing ratios for the main cast are also different, and not all actors are willing to choose dividends, either because they have no confidence in the box office or want to receive a stable salary.

In short, for the first film of Taoist Priest, the starring cast can get a box office share of 205 million.

At this pace, if the online actors of Yucheng Film and Television really devote themselves to acting well in a series, making millions will not be a problem.

Calculated this way, the pay is not low.
