Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 56 Interstellar Book Released Ahead of Time
On April 2002, 4, at a filming site, after the last performance ended and Li Wenyu shouted "Wrap Up", the crew cheered and indulged themselves.

Let me ask a simple question: Can a good actor clearly know whether he is making a good movie or a bad movie during filming? Yes!
If it wasn't confirmed, Jiang Wen wouldn't have come and snatched the second male lead from his younger brother Jiang Wu.

By the way, the filming of "Looking for the Gun" starring Jiang Wu and directed by Lu Chuan has been completed, and Jiang Wu has called Jiang Wen many times.

He privately cursed his brother for sending him into the crew of a bad movie!
This version of "Searching for the Gun" can't even win ten awards in one go like the original version, and it can't create a huge health bar for Lu Chuan. The box office may... may not even make it to the theaters or the big screen.

Therefore, actors who can tell whether they are making a good movie or a bad movie basically know that "The Sound Tuner" is a good movie, not only with a wonderful plot but also full of excitement.

It’s not that there is no hope of winning the prize.

In addition, there is another big event that has been brewing for more than a month.

Now that filming has finished, I wonder how many people are waiting to see The Sound Tuner dominate this summer's box office and create a box office miracle that is even more exaggerated than The Shallows' 1.21 million RMB in mainland China and 6300 million HKD in Hong Kong.

If you do that and then add some rewards? You'll be invincible.

Even if Brother Rong, China Star and Huayi do not give red envelopes to the main creators of such a large crew, it will still be the most precious representative work resume for the main actors.

Li Bingbing pulled Yang Mi to the monitor and bowed to thank Li Wenyu in various ways, including thanking Pang Bing, whose "Unforgettable" was completed the day before yesterday.

Li Wenyu waved his hand after a few polite exchanges, "Stop wasting time with these polite remarks. Hurry up and save your stomach for the wrap-up banquet. Just eat and drink well tonight."

The wrap-up party was a routine of eating and drinking.

However, Zhang Guorong did arrange for him to meet a few friends from the Hong Kong United Publishing Group, which is currently the largest comprehensive publishing group in Hong Kong.

On the 23rd, he gave Zhang Guorong and Xu Ke both the Chinese and English versions of "Interstellar", still in computer document format.

Brother Rong finished reading it in two days and excitedly ran off to become a salesman.

Currently, authors generally receive 3% to 15% royalties for books published in Hong Kong and mainland China.

For example, Li Wenyu received 10% royalties for Interstellar, and the retail price of a copy was HK$100, so Interstellar sold 10 copies.

His income is 10 times 100 times 10% of the author's royalties, which is 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

Globally, the person who rose to fame through Harry Potter only earned 15% of the royalties from the publishing group, but became a wealthy woman through a series of books.

Li Wenyu doesn't care whether he gets 5%, 10% or 15% of the royalties.

From Zhang Guorong and Xu Ke to the Xiang family, Emperor Entertainment Group and many other film and television companies and celebrities, they all wanted to take the initiative to help him get a higher proportion.

It's HK$100 per copy, and if you buy 1 copies it's only HK$. If you can make Li Wenyu happy and have a good relationship with her, will she take the initiative to help you plan the promotion of your movie?
Look at how much Rong Ge made? 100 million or 200 million.

And the Xiang family, Huayi including Emperor Entertainment Group, Media Asia, etc., knowing that the script of The Sound Adjuster was reliable and of the level of a commercial blockbuster, combined with Encore and Li Wenyu's ability to hype on the Internet?
Everyone's estimation for The Piano Tuner is basically for the summer season, with a starting box office of 1.5 million RMB in the mainland and an aim of over 8000 million RMB in Hong Kong.

Is there another wave of sales? Because of the advertising sponsorship at the beginning, a lot of losses have been recovered, almost equal to half of the star salary expenditure.

After the entire movie, Zhang Guorong, the Xiang family, and Huayi have recovered about 70% of their total investment. What remains is to wait for the distribution of profits starting at tens of millions, or one or two hundred million.

After this, who wouldn’t want to invest in Li Wenyu’s next film?

It’s just that after everyone learned about the idol drama project, they felt that it might not be possible in 02...so let’s wait until 03!

Li Wenyu's publication of the book "Interstellar" is indeed an opportunity for a group of film and television bosses, including celebrities, to continue to show their favor to him.

Not to mention a group of people taking turns negotiating the royalty ratio with the publishing group, if they really wait until the book is published? I guess the Xiang family, the Yang family, Zhou Xingchi, Xu Ke, and even stars like Li Jiaxin will be involved.

They would buy dozens or even hundreds of books at a time and then give them away.

This is a sedan chair carried by many people! You say there are too many pirated books in mainland China? Those in the entertainment and film circles who are well-off will basically buy a few books for themselves or as gifts.

This sales volume can even reach the student population of Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, and Shanghai Theatre Academy!

As we all know, countless Hollywood blockbusters are adapted from classic best-selling books and superhero comics, and Li Wenyu himself rose to fame through scriptwriting.

He suddenly wrote a bestseller, science fiction?

Is this paving the way for future Chinese science fiction blockbusters?

Even JK Rowling's first Harry Potter book was directly bought out by the publishing company for a sum of US dollars, and the sequels were later changed to a royalty ratio.

Liu Cixin's science fiction works were also sold at a low price.

When it comes to a rising star like Li Wenyu writing a science fiction book, I guess no one would want to take advantage of it and buy out the film and television rights.

In early May of this year, it is estimated that "Interstellar" would have exploded in sales and become a bestseller.

Things turned out just as Li Wenyu had expected. On the evening of the wrap-up party, he had a drink and dinner with the editors-in-chief of the publishing group and agreed on a 15% royalty rate.

The publishing house started working like crazy, working overtime to launch the first batch of 10 copies after May Day. They were sold out in less than three days, so they started printing the second batch.

Xu Ke bought a thousand copies, the CEO of a film and television group in Taiwan, who I didn't know yet, bought ten thousand copies, and other people like Jackie Chan, Lin Jianyue, Wang Jing, etc. also bought a thousand copies each...

One thousand copies cost one hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars, and I bought them all as gifts.

With a retail price of HK$100, Li Wenyu earned HK$150 million in royalties in just two days.

The publishing house also made a lot of money, and even many local media and gossip magazines in Hong Kong were hailing the incredible and unscientific sales miracle.

…………

A little after 5 a.m. on July 5rd.

In Ah Xin's villa, she was drinking red wine and watching Interstellar. Sister Xin was very excited. "Ah Yu, do you think I'm going to be considered a cultivator chasing after the 21st century's greatest talent?"

"Now your sci-fi talent is still a bit watered down. You're just flattering people and buying books for free. But as long as there are so many readers, it would be a waste not to read the free novels."

"Once you become addicted and become a true fan of your book, then your status as a talented scholar will be completely established. Many people say that I look photogenic, while Rosamund Kwan doesn't. That woman's real-life stunningness is two or three times greater than mine."

"But she lost so long ago that she couldn't even see my taillights."

Li Wenyu, "..."

By now, he had even completed most of the post-production work as a tuner, and because he hadn't added any more points, he had accumulated 37 points of free attributes!
If you add all the points to fitness, there will still be 200 points left after adding it to 7 points.

The Interstellar books exploded ahead of schedule.

He was still thinking about it, and Li Jiaxin said again, "Kung Fu has been on for more than half a month. Has your Bingbing successfully lost weight?"

Li Wenyu began to warm up, grabbing Ah Xin's Taibai point under her black stockings and massaging it from Zusanli to her Zusanli point. "That's definitely no problem. Her acting skills will be there in a few days. We'll be filming in a short while, and the filming will be finished soon."

His junior year was about to end and he was about to enter his senior year. Fat Bing had often failed in the battle to lose weight and was very thin.

I went to Cannes a while ago and won the Cannes Best Screenplay Award, plus the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Screenplay trophy. I majored in screenwriting in the Department of Literature, so it was totally worth it!

This early morning, we must give Ah Xinyi more respect and punch the hole.
