Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 48 A Little Surprise?! [Please Read]

After a while, Li Wenyu walked out of the teaching building carrying a suitcase. He politely said goodbye to the two teachers and the real estate developer who came to Shanghai. Then he drank a sip of water and looked around.

Now that the house is agreed, we are waiting for him to come up with the design drawings. This requires an on-site inspection, as there are also various other design drawings, so I will be very busy for a while.

However, his brain changes brought about by fitness as high as 141 points, learning other things from scratch...

No, after mastering more than 80 points of directing skills, the master-level ability to draw storyboards and scripts is also very strong.

Real design requires a lot of brainpower, but copying is different. He pulled in a few professional designers, came up with the idea framework himself, and the other party started working on it.

Just then, his phone rang. He grabbed it and saw it was Zhang Guorong, so he answered it. A bright laugh echoed from the other end. "Ah Yu, the revenue share between the mainland and Hong Kong cinema chains has been announced. Do you want Hong Kong dollars or RMB? Or do you want the mainland for the mainland and Hong Kong for the island?"

Li Wenyu thought for a moment and said with a smile, "The mainland accepts RMB."

Brother Arong said cheerfully, "Just wait, I'll give you a little surprise."

Then we chatted briefly again. After Berlin, Brother Rong's [Let Me Embrace Happiness] officially started filming. I asked him when [The Sound Tuner] would start filming, and then we ended the call.

The Spring Festival had already passed, and Zhang Guorong's company in Hong Kong, the Xiang family and Huayi were all impatient, and all the main creative team were basically finalized on January 1th.

The main creators have each received the script and have been working on it for a month and a half.

Li Wenyu hung up his phone and went home. He started decorating his two-courtyard courtyard house within the North Second Ring Road, as well as a large apartment with four bedrooms and two living rooms on the Third Ring Road.

We can move in this autumn and winter, and we don’t have to stay in a hotel or rented house with Pang Bing anymore.

On the way home, Li Wenyu was again harassed by a group of fellow junior students, and he had no choice but to entertain them for half an hour. When he had sent a few people away and was about to leave, his cell phone rang again. After he answered it, he found out that it was the financial manager of Time Media Group who had just been hired a few days ago.

The company account received more than 1100 million yuan in remittances from Zhang Guorong's company, as well as 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

Li Wenyu looked disheveled after hanging up the phone.

This is different from the contract we signed originally!
The original contract was based on the total box office of mainland cinemas, after which a certain percentage was paid to the National Film Development Special Fund Management Committee to withdraw a special fund, and then a certain percentage was paid in business tax.

The remaining box office is divided into 35% for the production and distribution company Zhang Guorong and 65% for the theater chain!

If China Film Group collects a few percent of the distribution fee, Brother Rong will get the real profit. The 10% that Li Wenyu takes away is 10% of the profit that Brother Rong pockets.

The new movie sound mixer also has this ratio!

It is the profit in the hands of the production investors, and he takes 10%.

This is obviously not the case now. More than 1100 million is equivalent to the box office of "The Shallows" of 1.21 million RMB, which is close to one-tenth of the wealth.

Zhang Guorong took over 30% of the shares and gave him nearly one-third. The same goes for the 500 million Hong Kong dollars. The total box office in Hong Kong Island was 6300 million!
Plus, he only publishes scripts. He sold the script for a seaside Tsuen Wan movie in one deal, and after filming wrapped, he got a 5 yuan bonus?
After winning the award, he was given another 100 million.

He was about to call to discuss things further when a text message arrived. "I'm not superstitious, it's just that Ayu, you're really bringing me good luck. I'll shoot the new project well and go to Cannes. Even if I push it to the limit, the most Cannes can give me is a double Best Actor. Two Best Actor awards in one year would make my artistic life worthwhile."

"As for the money, I can't give you that much for the new project. Three companies are investing in it. I've never been a qualified businessman in my life. I'm just a singer and actor."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked for only 35% when we were talking to theaters. I heard that Director Zhang's partners have been trying to get 40% or more of the theater share for Hero, and I haven't even discussed it with them many times."

"Like you said, we've been working together for over six months and have made a profit. Even Ah Hua, my investment, is so envious that I want to vomit blood several times. You're just starting your career and need money. Consider it a small favor of mine as an investment in your future life."

Li Wenyu was speechless. After a moment's thought, he finally sent a text message to express his gratitude. With an extra 45 million yuan from mainland China, he could do more. As for the low share of the production and theater chains? Even until Zhang Yimou filmed The Flowers of War, the company was still betting with the theater chains that if the box office fell below million yuan, the producers would take %.

If the box office exceeds 5 million, the producer will get 41%. This was the distribution ratio in 2011!

After thinking for a moment, Li Wenyu waved to Dong Li and Cui Peng, who were still standing there, and said, "Dong Li, Old Cui, come here."

The two stopped and turned around, running back with a smile. Director Li was not only a powerful figure who could decide whether they could join the crew to study, but also the breadwinner and big sponsor of the crew by making money from the hype.

Li Wenyu opened the suitcase, gave Lao Cui two packs of Huazi and gave Dong Li a bottle of red wine.

This was a gift from a real estate developer in Shanghai. He said, "Can you help me find a dozen reliable web developers and designers by going to Tsinghua University, Peking University, Beijing Institute of Technology, or Beihang University these days?"

"A junior or soon-to-be graduate is fine. The more technically proficient, the better. My company is building a new website."

This is unprofessional for Dong Li and Cui Peng, but in fact each of them has more than 100 online water armies and experts who hang out in Internet cafes, and there is no shortage of talents from all walks of life.

If you have any questions, you can send a message in the Penguin group and receive professional guidance.

Dong Li smiled sweetly and nodded, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I will do my best. If you push me to the limit, I'll resort to honey traps... I heard that there are more men than women in those high-tech majors. I can find a target and introduce them to girlfriends as bait. It will definitely be convenient."

During the original period, Lingling was about to meet her financial sponsor, but now the situation has changed a lot.

There are all kinds of messy things in the circle, but they are not moved by Li Wenyu's dedication. They are also willing to share and support their peers or younger classmates, and let them do things. This is also their hard-working resources.

If she gets things done, maybe she will be the next one after Yang Xi and Huang Shengyi!
Cui Peng also repeatedly assured that he had heard that Li Wenyu had invited Huang Xiaoming to interview for the TV series he would be filming after October, and this was a precedent that all boys could refer to.

Li Wenyu smiled and chatted for a few more words before leaving. He was planning to start a website in order to develop a computer version of the Weibo platform in advance.

In the original version of "My Love from the Star", the heroine often posted on Weibo, revealing her ignorance and lack of common sense, and was mocked by netizens and criticized by the media. He also thought about whether to make it 00s-style.

Now that I have the extra funds given by Brother Rong, I can directly set up a Weibo account, and then expand Weibo into a large platform through the filming and broadcast of "Star You".

"When I was trying to get my second pot of gold, I wanted to make it as big as possible for the sake of influence, but I was taken advantage of by Brother Ma."

"When Penguin went public in 04, its market capitalization might have easily exceeded 80 billion. What a loss!"

Following his suggestion, Penguin launched a head start. With the help of the first online beauty pageant, the overseas version of Penguin still has millions of monthly active users.

This is very beneficial to the valuation of Penguin's market value. He had to spend more money to buy Penguin in 04, and next time he will have to cheat Penguin more to make up for his investment.

When promoting You Who Came From the Stars, they magically modified it to make it 00s-style and turned Weibo into something else.

Big companies with good vision may have already made plans in advance. It would be safer for him to make his own TV series, enhance the trendiness of Chinese idols, make profits by selling copyrights, and start an Internet company.

Not to mention the media nature and influence of Weibo, it has to be promoted in order to prevent Pony Ma from taking advantage. The only difference is that it is the PC version of Weibo, not the mobile version.

Why use Weibo instead of long blogs... Weibo is more conducive to interaction between big stars and ordinary netizens, and brings people closer together.

Long blogs of several thousand words will greatly reduce the sense of participation of ordinary netizens.

Big stars generally have low educational levels, so if they keep blogging for a long time, they will probably fail every day and there will be no way to save themselves.
