Entertainment: I really want to make progress - #520 - Chapter 520 Copyright buyout, the most profitable thing is Teacher Fan

“Yu Tang is very good at judging people.”

Huang Bo smiled straight at Bald Xu: “You do look shameless.”

“Damn, how shameless.”

Bald Xu muttered, “I’m obviously very honest.”

Even Ning Hao smiled now, his eyes wandered between Huang Bo and Xu Zheng, and he nodded thoughtfully.

In reality, Huang Bo is known for his high emotional intelligence, and even sister Zhilin has a close relationship with him.

But his appearance also limits his acting potential to a certain extent. He looks like an honest man who is downtrodden at the bottom.

On the contrary, although Xu Zheng looks upright, he always gives people the impression of being shrewd and cunning.

A bohemian bald man seemed interesting when he thought about it. Ning Hao grinned: “I think what Yu Tang said is correct.”

Bald Xu scratched his shiny bald head and said nothing.

A few people chatted and laughed and decided on the role.

Ning Hao suddenly remembered something and asked, “Yu Tang, I heard that the movie you made with Happy Mahua has been started. What’s it called?”

“Charlotte is troubled.”

“Yes, yes, I also went to see a play. It was quite interesting.”

Ning Hao was quite interested in this, Huang Bo also asked a few more questions, but Bald Xu was less interested.

This drama is produced by the cast of Happy Twist. Except for Da Mi Mi who plays the school beauty, Shen Teng and Tian Yu are slightly famous.

The rest of the actors are all unknowns.

This drama was trialled some time ago and was launched in a low-key manner, but it did not receive much attention.

Seeing Xu Guangtou’s absent-minded look, Zhou Yutang asked, “Brother Zheng, you seem to be worried?”

“I do have something I want to discuss with you.”

Probably feeling that the time was ripe, Bald Xu followed suit and asked: “Yu Tang, I have a new plan for the sequel to the “囧” series. Are you interested in learning about it?”

“What plan?”

“There is a company that is very sincere and wants to take over this plate.”

The light behind Xu Guangtou’s lenses flashed, and he gestured excitedly: “If you are willing to sell the copyright of this project, there can be a considerable copyright transfer fee, and then there will be a certain share of the box office. You have so many projects in hand, and this one is not missing.”

A burst of applause happened.

It turned out that the film creators on stage had already completed the media interview process, and the next step was the film screening.

“Let’s not talk about this now. You can come to the company to talk about it another day.”

Zhou Yutang glanced at Xu Guangtou with a half-smile and said calmly.

Bald Xu’s head felt like a lump in his throat, so he couldn’t think of watching a movie.

In his heart, neither Ning Hao’s “Blissful” nor Zhou Yutang’s “Charlotte” with Happy Twist are as good as the sequel to his embarrassing series.

This is the key that allows him to achieve a class jump.

But Zhou Yutang didn’t seem to care at all, and his attention was quickly focused on the movie being shown.

The male protagonist played by Dong Zijian failed the college entrance examination due to a broken relationship. He entered the Rocket Class to repeat his studies and met a group of peers with the same problems.

Zhou Yutang was a little surprised.

I originally thought I was reading with the prince, but I didn’t expect that the story was pretty good.

However, due to cost constraints, only one of the starring cast members, Qin Hailu, is somewhat famous, while the rest are basically amateurs.

When the time comes, the movie schedule given by theaters will definitely not be too high.

Zhou Yutang took the time to visit the crew of “Charlotte”.

Damimi is still working overtime on “Gu Jian Qi Tan” to catch up with the progress, and it will take some time before she can join the team.

It was also their own project there, and Zhou Yutang acquiesced to her having the privilege of filming, but there was someone else with a higher status than Da Mimi.

“Mr. Zhou, are you serious? Can you invite the princess and Jay Chou to make guest appearances?”

Peng Damo and Yan Fei opened their eyes in shock, a little unbelievable.

“of course it’s true.”

Zhou Yutang said in a leisurely manner: “However, the schedules for the princess and Jay Chou are a bit tight. Please allow at most two days for us to make arrangements by then.”

“No problem, as long as you can come, it can be done in one day!”

Peng Damo and Yan Fei were gearing up, more or less a little excited.

Charlotte returned to her high school days and was noticed by the princess by copying songs. They sang together in the Spring Festival Gala and became an instant hit.

Since then, he has become the king of the music industry, leaving Milk Tea Zhou classmate to live in his shadow.

This is a standard template of a certain point of rebirth novel, but nowadays, it is completely novel and interesting.

After hearing the news about the guest appearance of Princess Wang and Jay Chou, the team spirit of the entire Happy Twist team was very high.

“It has to be Mr. Zhou, he has really wide connections.”

Zhang Cheng smiled from ear to ear and immediately sent a rainbow fart.

He really realized the benefits of leaning against a big tree.

The crew started filming in a low-key manner, which unexpectedly attracted the attention of many Jiangdong fans. Yang Mi, Wang Fei, and Jay Chou were all brought in because Zhou Yutang activated the face fruit ability.

Otherwise, how could such a big shot like Happy Twist, a low-budget comedy produced by a grassroots team?

“A bit presumptuous.”

Mary is not a top beauty, but her smile is very friendly: “Then when the time comes, won’t I be able to get Jay Chou’s autograph?”

“Don’t get too excited and scare people.”

Shen Teng said seriously: “No matter what you sign, you have to take a group photo. From now on, we will be the same team that made movies with Jay Chou and the princess.”

This play started as a drama.

After more than a year of working together, the entire Happy Twist team has a good atmosphere.

Zhou Yutang also did not forget to pay attention to Qiao Bin, who played Charlotte’s classmate in “Charlotte Trouble”.

There is no doubt about Zhou Shufang’s ability to do things. After discovering this treasure in “Wei Sheng”, Zhou Yutang gave instructions and she took the initiative to contact and follow up.

When the time was right, he signed him to Jiangdong Entertainment, which made up for the company’s shortcomings as comedy actors.

“How does it feel to be on the set here?”

“I have never made a movie before, and everyone takes good care of me.”

Qiao Bin is quite understanding of human nature: “Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your support.”

He has a full understanding of himself. Because of his limited appearance, it is naturally impossible to act in those idol dramas.

He can only develop into comedy roles, but relying on the big tree of Jiangdong Entertainment, he will always have a bite to eat.

“You performed well in Dapeng’s web drama.”

“Mr. Zhou, have you watched that show?”

Qiao Bin was a little flattered.

“I’ve seen it a little bit, it’s quite interesting.”

Zhou Yutang shook his head and chuckled.

Sina is his base, but he also has a good relationship with Sohu.

I also experienced the ecstatic dance moves and beautiful singing voice of Sohu CEO Zhang Chaoyang at KTV.

Dapeng is the host of Sohu, so he naturally has many contacts with him. We met him once this year and even invited Zhou Yutang to guest star in his web series.

However, Zhou Yutang’s schedule was too busy and he couldn’t spare the time, so he had no choice but to give up.

After the broadcast of “Dose Man”, it was well received by young audiences. The story of the father of great health care will probably follow Qiao Bin throughout his acting career.

“It’s also a good opportunity.”

Zhou Yutang patted Qiao Bin’s shoulder, and activated the passive skill of Chicken Soup: “Do it well, and if you have the chance, the company will also start an online comedy.”

After returning to the company and continuing to work on the post-production of the film, Zhou Yutang received a message from Liu Shishi,

“The burgers on the crew are delicious·jpg!”

She has already joined the cast of “Godzilla” and she really doesn’t forget to eat wherever she goes.

The curve of Zhou Yutang’s mouth gradually softened, he stopped what he was doing, and replied: “Are you still used to being there?”

“Well, Sister Zou is very good to me, and Elizabeth Olsen, this girl is also very nice.”

No matter where you go, you can’t avoid being humane. Liu Shishi joined the group through the relationship of the producer, and Zhou Yutang even greeted her specially. Naturally, she is surrounded by good people.

When Zhou Yutang saw the photo sent by Liu Shishi, he was a little surprised. Isn’t this the Scarlet Witch?

“My dear, who is more beautiful, me or her?”

“No need to think about it, of course it’s you.”

Zhou Yutang didn’t hesitate for a second and opened his mouth: “North of the equator, Shishi is the most beautiful place.”

“Haha, what is this!”

Liu Shishi was really easily satisfied. After chatting like this for a while, you could feel her joyful mood through the screen.

Then she went to the crew to shoot, and Zhou Yutang also received a call from Ni Ni, “Boss, Manager Jiang is asking you to report to her.”

“Let her come here.”

“Mr. Zhou.”

Jiang Xuezhen is still capable: “”Why is the Shengxiao Silent” is scheduled to be broadcast on National Day, and “Reply 1988″ is on Jiangsu Province Channel and Mango Channel, and is ready to be broadcast at the beginning of the new year.”

The investment cost of “Why Shengxiao Mo” was nearly 60 million yuan, and it sold for 54 million yuan in the first round. Suzhou Province and Magic City TV jointly won it. The main reason was that Wang Kai did not have enough star status, and Tang Yan alone was responsible for the drama. The price was too low not tall.

However, this drama also has multiple sources of income such as video website copyrights, soft advertising placement, and derivatives, so it will definitely not lose money.

“Reply 1988” has a total of 20 episodes. The first round of sales alone was 44 million, which directly recovered the cost and even made a small profit.

The Reply series has continued the good reputation of the first part, and it also stars Liu Shishi, so the attention is not low.

“It’s up to you.”

Zhou Yutang glanced at the promotion plans of the two dramas and tapped his fingers on the table: “How are the preparations for “The Best of Us” and “A Smile is Alluring”?”

“Mr. Zhou, Zhao Liying has another drama, Zhu Yilong’s schedule is still being adjusted, and Nazha’s role in “The Legend of the Ancient Sword” has almost been completed, and she is waiting for Chen Xiao.”

“Gu Jian crew, go watch and push forward the progress. They are still waiting for Yang Mi’s schedule.”

Zhou Yutang rubbed his forehead.

Suddenly, I discovered that the artists under me were almost model workers.

Chen Xiao has three dramas to be released this year, and he will probably have to stay on the set during the Chinese New Year.

Li Yao’s role in “The Sun Burns Heart” has just ended, Zhao Liying is also preparing to join the cast of “The Best of Us”, and Tang Yan will soon have a TV series to be released in conjunction with the movie.

Wang Kai, Gao Ye, and Reyza also have no shortage of acting roles.

Even Yang Mi is about to join the cast of “Charlotte”, followed by “The Breakup Master” with Guang Guang and Deng Chao.

In fact, it was just as Zhou Yutang thought.

“Youth” only had 7% of the movie schedule on the first day, but the box office reached 4 million, with a good attendance rate.

Today, when the film market is taking off, it is certainly not a big hit. For a youth-themed movie of this cost, it can be regarded as quite decent data.

“Tsk, he was the best newcomer at the Shanghai Film Festival when he debuted. Wang Jinghua has paved a solid path for her son.”

In the office, Zhou Yutang sighed with emotion and continued to look through the box office data.

Since “The Wolf 2” was released, several imported Hollywood blockbusters such as “Pacific Rim”, “Fast and Furious 6”, and “Danger” have been very successful in the mainland film market.

“Pacific Rim” and “Fast and Furious 6” both exceeded 400 million in box office, but they have come to an end.

On the other hand, “One Night Surprise”, a collaboration between Teacher Fan and director Jin Yimeng, grossed 12 million at the box office on the first day, which brought quite a surprise.

Say Teacher Fan, and Teacher Fan will be there.

I answered the phone and the person was already outside the door.

The crisp sound of high heels hitting the floor seemed to hit Zhou Yutang’s heart.

Ni Ni led the people in very considerately, then closed the door and sat on her seat, spinning her pen.

However, he seemed a little restless, so he glanced at the time on his watch and calculated something while drinking coffee.

Seeing Xu Baldy heading straight for the CEO’s office, Ni Ni almost spit out a mouthful of coffee.

“Director Xu, the boss is in a meeting, please wait a moment.”

Ni Ni called Zhou Yutang and waited until news came from inside before taking people in.

Ning Hao’s Bad Monkey Studio is located in Jiangdong Building. Baldy Xu is also familiar with Jiangdong. He even grinned at Ni Ni and said, “Ni Ni, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Ni Ni said with a smile, and began to pour him tea as a familiar person, glancing vaguely towards the lounge inside.

“Yu Tang, please think about what I said that day.”

“Is it LeTV or Alibaba?”

Zhou Yutang did not agree immediately. He stood up from his seat and looked at Xu Guangtou with a half-smile.

The bustle in the world is all for the benefit of coming; the hustle and bustle of the world is all for the benefit of the future.

He never felt that his body was shaken, and Baldy Xu bowed his head, showing his undying loyalty.

After all, it’s all about profit.

Bald Xu was able to buy out the rights to the “囧” series for himself in exchange for commissions.

Now that Po Tian has benefits, he can still negotiate with him to buy out the sequel rights.

“It’s all settled with Ali.”

Bald Xu pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and tried to show sincerity: “Yu Tang, don’t worry, the price will definitely satisfy you, I will communicate with them.”

“I want 45% of the sequel’s net box office revenue.”

“Yu Tang, this. This is definitely unrealistic.”

Baldy Xu looked embarrassed, and his butt twisted uneasily: “According to what they said, we can give you a follow-up copyright buyout fee of 100 million, and then on this basis, add a point of box office revenue. “

“Ali, are you kidding me? Thailand has a box office of 1 billion, and the sequel cannot be bad.”

Zhou Yutang put his legs on the coffee table, took the tea from Ni Ni, and took a sip: “Director Xu, for the sake of our friendship, I will make peace with you.”

“If you want to buy out the copyright of the “囧” series, I can waive the copyright buyout fee, so you don’t have to spend any money. We can sign a gambling agreement.”

“How to bet?”

“If the box office is less than 600 million, I will take 30% of the divisible box office, and you will directly buy out the subsequent rights to the “囧” series.”

“The box office is over 600 million, and I want 40% of the divisible box office.”

“It doesn’t matter if you can’t accept it. It doesn’t matter if you wait another two years and change actors. I’ll make more money by operating it myself.”

After hearing Wait Two Years, Xu Guangtou’s eyes twitched slightly, and he became more and more uneasy: “This”

The project is always in Zhou Yutang’s hands, and he has the final say on when it will be launched.

“Not urgent.”

Zhou Yutang said in a leisurely manner: “You can go back and discuss it slowly first.”

Bald Xu’s only one film, “Awkward”, has been promoted to the billion-dollar box office club, and he is already qualified to be on the table.

But after all, his background is still shallow, and he is currently just a pawn of capital.

Bald Xu opened his mouth, constantly calculating the gains and losses in his heart, like a battle between heaven and man, and solemnly said: “I want to discuss it with Mr. Dong first.”

“Let’s talk about it another day?”

“No, I’ll call Mr. Dong right now.”

Bald Xu immediately went out to make a phone call and came back about ten minutes later. He was sweating a little on his forehead and tried his best to suppress his excitement:

“Yu Tang, Mr. Dong has agreed in principle to this cooperation plan. It means that there is no need to gamble, and you will be given 30% of the box office. After all, the cost of the sequel can no longer be calculated as originally, and there are also miscellaneous things such as the special film fund. cost”

Under normal circumstances, the share between producers, distributors and theaters is 43%.

What Zhou Yutang wants is 40% of the total box office after deducting special film funds and other expenses.

It can be said that the lion opens its mouth wide.

Bald Xu Balabala said a lot, in short, it was not easy.

Zhou Yutang was unmoved and looked at the time.

If you have time to mess with Bald Xu, you might as well take classes with Teacher Fan.

He stood up and made a decision: “Then let’s take a step back. If the box office is less than 600 million, we can share 20% of the box office. If the box office is more than 600 million, I want 35% of the box office. This is my bottom line, but I will not bear the production cost. As well as any other obligations, please think carefully before replying to me.”

“Yu Tang, I have no objection.”

After another ten minutes of conversation, Bald Xu walked back into the office sweating profusely, with a complicated expression on his face. It was obvious that the price given by Zhou Yutang had stepped on his psychological defense.

“Let the legal affairs handle the rest.”

Zhou Yutang stood up, patted Xu Zheng on the shoulder, and asked with a smile: “Why are you so sweaty?”

“It’s a little hot outside.”

“Is the sequel going to be set in Xiangjiang?”

“Yes, I have some ideas to make comedy more meaningful.”

“Director Xu, I wish you good luck.”

Zhou Yutang was not in the mood to listen to Bald Xu’s comedy experience and stood up to see off the guests.

A smile gradually appeared on Xu Guangtou’s face: “I wish us a happy cooperation.”

When he walked out of the CEO’s office, he suddenly felt that the future was bright and he couldn’t help but want to laugh out loud.

I can’t bear to let the child catch the wolf.

The copyrights are all in the hands of Zhou Yutang, so it is reasonable to give up part of the profits.

Walk out of this Jiangdong gate.

Bald Xu’s head was shining in the sun, and his eyes were full of ambition.

after.

He is qualified enough to sit at the poker table.

open the door.

Zhou Yutang saw Teacher Fan looking at the decoration of the lounge with interest.

“Your room must have been decorated for you by some little girl.”

Fan Binbin grabbed Nazha’s favorite stuffed bear by the ears, sat on the sofa, crossed her legs wrapped in black stockings, and curiously gossiped: “Bald Xu wants to ask you to buy out the copyright to the “囧” series?”

The tryst was almost broken just now, so she secretly opened the door a crack inside, so she could get a general idea.

“Um.”

Zhou Yutang lay on Teacher Fan’s lap, stroking it gently with his fingers, while reviewing the negotiation just now in his mind.

The lowest expectation he had in mind was to get 30% of the divisible box office. In the end, it was able to reach 35%, which was an unexpected surprise.

The two talked about the transaction he had just made, and Teacher Fan couldn’t help but envy: “You are too awesome.”

“Thank you, Teacher Fan, for the compliment.”

“I said that you run the company very well. Just for this “囧” series, you have made several small goals. You haven’t even made a sequel yet, and you are still making a lot of money.”

Teacher Fan sounded envious and admired from the bottom of his heart.

Her team has created a persona that says “she is a wealthy person”, but Teacher Fan’s background is completely incomparable to Zhou Yutang’s.

For the project “Jing Zhong Yue Fei”, her studio can earn eight figures.

This can already be regarded as one of the most profitable projects of her studio, but for Zhou Yutang, it is not as good as the income from buying out the copyright for the sequels of the “囧” series.

Teacher Fan leaned against Zhou Yutang, his eyes bright and moving.

Gather the black hair like a waterfall behind your head.

Mr. Fan, who was domineering in the outside world, actually looked like a little woman at this time, talking to Zhou Yutang about work matters.

“Li Zhiting, you are really so rude.”

Zhou Yutang knows Pu Bajia, the champion of good men, and his long-lost brother Wang Lihong, but he has never heard of Li Zhiting.

After listening to Teacher Fan’s complaints, I realized that this kid is another junior student that Bay Province is promoting recently.

Together with Teacher Fan, she starred in the movie “One Night Surprise”.

At that time, when the crew was taking a break from filming, the leading actors would usually chat to eliminate any embarrassment.

Li Zhiting, a chat genius, came up and asked: “Teacher Fan, do you want to work out?”

Of course, Teacher Fan had a question mark on his face, but he still answered politely. He rarely moved.

As a result, Li Zhiting said with a serious face: “I think you can do some exercise.”

Zhou Yutang was amused.

Isn’t this just saying that Teacher Fan is fat?

In Bay Province, the people he knows best are Jay Chou and Luo Zhixiang.

Jay Chou looks cool on the surface, but he is actually a warm man with no problem with his emotional intelligence.

As for Luo Zhixiang, he is even more talented.

I didn’t expect that the new generation in Bay Province still had such talents. If it were a difficult big flower, I would be slapped on the spot.

Zhou Yutang slapped Teacher Fan on the thigh and became furious: “Li Zhiting, you are so talented. I will go to Bay Province in two days and I must show him some color.”

“Forget it, kid, I’m ignorant, I still have a drama to promote.”

Teacher Fan’s stockings were torn and her thighs were red. She felt strange. She muttered, “Actually, sometimes I get depressed when I read the draft. I’m obviously controlling my diet, but why do I look so fat on camera?” I can’t wear sleeveless or round-shouldered clothes.”

She hooked Zhou Yutang’s neck and shook it coquettishly: “Yu Tang, what do you think of my figure?”

“Very smooth.”

Zhou Yutang couldn’t put it down for Teacher Fan’s curves.

Apart from his favorite Liu Tianxian, only Reba and Teacher Fan, who have been inseparable recently, have such explosive figures.

Teacher Fan herself has a large frame and is a plump beauty, but she cannot be called fat.
