Chapter 462

Everything is ready, but the east wind is not available. Ye Shumei has contacted the agency and will handle the registration of Hanlin Culture Media Company in Horgos.

Those people are professional, with clear understanding of all procedures and certainly have connections with the local industrial and commercial bureau, otherwise it would not have been possible to have such a fast speed.

At the latest, he can go to the bank to open a basic account tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and then officially transfer his brokerage from Menglong!

"Sister Ye, you can spend some time today and check around Yanjing City to see if there is any place suitable for renting it as an office. Although our sparrow is small, we still have to have five internal organs."

The place does not need to be very big. Anyway, there are not many people now. If the business grows bigger and bigger in the future, expansion will be considered.

After planning for so long, it was finally time to harvest, and Zhang Chu sighed a little.

Ye Shumei responded: "I have contacted the agency. The boss estimates that your registered capital of RMB 0 million can still be rented in a good place."

For a cultural company that sells copyrights, a registered capital of 10 million is definitely more than enough. Zhang Chu has made a lot of money during this period, so of course he doesn't want to be too stretched when opening a company.

"Yes, it's just that you can rent a good place. If you want to get rich, you can only speculate in real estate!"

The three-bedroom and two-living house in Bishui Yuntian Community where Zhang Chu lives now has a value of 20 million yuan. The house price in Yanjing is too high, and the rental price is also high.

At this time, Zhou Kang suddenly remembered something and said, "There is no delay in the screening of "Psychological Crime" this time. Today seems to be the last day of its release, but there are not many screenings across the country. Time flies so quickly."

“So what is its total box office?”

“750 million yuan, not much overseas.”

Zhang Chu calculated in his mind that his 2% box office dividend could actually earn RMB 35 million before tax, which is much more cost-effective than selling copyrights alone!

If the film copyright is sold separately, RMB 5 million is already the top price, and there are very few works in China that can get this price, let alone 0 million or even 30 million.

"I hope the box office of "Pi" can be better, at least the world will cost more than $500 million." Zhang Chusi suddenly jumped to the distant Hollywood.

He signed a floating ratio agreement with Warner Bros. When the global box office is below $500 million, only a pitiful 0.5% global box office dividend will only become % after 500 million!

Hollywood is so harsh. It is impossible for unfamous works to get high prices or dividends. They are only generous to successful people.

For example, big stars like Leonardo and Tom Cruise can not only get a box office of 20 million US dollars, but also negotiate a 20% box office dividend!

Even if Zhang Chu doesn't compare with superstars, just like the "Lord of the Rings", which is also a novel, the copyright fees of the two are far different.

The cost of several movies is put aside, and just talking about the global copyright of the "Lord of the Rings" series was taken down by Amazon for US$250 million.

This is what Zhang Chu envies the most, and it is what he wants to work hard for!

Not to mention that Hollywood companies are reluctant to spend money, they are just reluctant to spend money on newcomers.

Zhou Kang wanted to say something but stopped: "According to the movie box office settlement cycle, when they have to pay dividends, our company must have been established and operated. So will these dividends be given to Menglong's commission?"

After all, 0% of RMB 35 million is a total of 3.5 million, which is not a small number.

"Give it, they are unkind, we must not be unrighteous. Treat this part of the money as a breakup fee!" Zhang Chu said jokingly. The breakup fee is not low.

This is not because he wants to get a discount on Menglong, but because the time he signed the dividends for psychological crime movies was when he was at Menglong, he couldn't lose it either from the legal level or the other levels.

For this mere 3.5 million yuan, it is not worth making the reputation bad.

"The boss's idea is correct. Everyone gets together and there is no need to treat it as an enemy." Ye Shumei nodded in agreement.

However, Zhou Kang was a little depressed in his eyes, "I'm afraid they have too much appetite, so this 3.5 million won't be satisfied!"

"I am not a philanthropist either. I will definitely give the commission I should give. I will not take out any of the things they shouldn't want."

Zhang Chu is not a bad person, how could he let others infringe on his own interests?

Now this also strengthens his idea of ​​starting a self-employed business. Any contract can bring millions of income to the brokerage company. Why not use his own company?

And now if he sells film and television copyrights, he will never be able to only have a box office dividend of 2%, and the price will increase to 5% or even 8%, 0%!

Because all his previous novels and film production were made money, it was worth the price!

Now the goal is to pay dividends for movie box office, and he has not yet targeted the full range of dividends. After all, channel revenue is becoming more and more valuable these days.

In addition to box office revenue, there are also income from family entertainment and disc markets. Another big one is the revenue from TV and video websites, which all fall within the profit range of movies.

...

After chatting for a while, the few people dispersed. Zhang Chu was going back to class, Zhou Kang was going to work, and Ye Shumei had to check the office space, and they all had their own things to do.

However, when they walked out of the private room door, Xu Ji saw the young man walking in the front at a glance, "Xiao Zhang? Are you watching the show?"

"Director Xu, you are here today too!"

Zhang Chu said happily that he was already a regular visitor to the theater, but he had never seen Xu Ji and Jiang Hua recently, and he thought they would not come.

Xu Ji said curiously: "I should ask you this. It's not a weekend. You actually came to the theater. Did you get addicted to watching Peking Opera last time?"

"I have been here for a monthly ticket, so I come here to take a look if I have time. I have seen this Farewell My Concubine recently, so I plan to write a novel related to it. It's always right to read more, and there can't be any loopholes in Peking Opera."

Zhang Chu just wrote the first few thousand words of "Farewell My Concubine" yesterday, and now he is still preparing to polish it so that the dialogue and descriptions are more urbanized and more Yanjing-style.

"It's definitely right to be more prepared. If you think there is any problem with Peking Opera, you can come to me. Recently, I'm preparing to shoot a movie about Peking Opera. My old friend has hundreds of disciples, and they are all professionals!" Xu Ji didn't think much about it and said a few casually.

After all, Zhang Chu has not been involved in Peking Opera for a long time. According to his current reputation in the literary world, if there are too obvious loopholes in the novel, they will definitely be taken out and show off.

Xu Ji just helped this little friend, and he didn't expect him to write a very wonderful novel.

How could a person who has never watched a drama in its entirety show the charm of Peking Opera? He secretly speculated that he probably had some Peking Opera elements in that novel.

Zhang Chu's eyes lit up slightly. The Peking Opera actors in the backstage of the theater always had a concern about themselves and had never seen any real learning situation.

Since Mr. Xu has so many disciples and grandchildren, there must be someone responsible for this training, so it is more intuitive to see the young and girls learn skills.

Similarly, being able to accept so many apprentices proves that Mr. Xu, a friend, must be a famous actor in the Peking Opera world. If Zhang Chu could interview him, he would probably have a better understanding of the world after Cheng Keer.

"Thank you so much. Now I need an opportunity to understand Peking Opera in depth." Zhang Chu smiled happily, "I wonder which famous artist your friend is?"

"He, Shang Changrong, is a pretty good Peking Opera actor."

In the past, Zhang Chu definitely didn't know what this name actually represented, but now he has been making up for the relevant knowledge for half a month and can react directly.

This is really a famous actor who has a lot of knowledge about his family!

The son of Shang Xiaoyun, one of the four famous actresses, is the most famous contemporary Jingjiao artist. He has created a series of unique artistic models and was once the chairman of the Chinese Dramatists Association.

"It turns out to be Mr. Shang, no wonder there are so many disciples." Zhang Chu couldn't help but sigh. No wonder he could ask Xu Ji to use a Peking Opera movie as a work of closure!

A smile appeared in Xu Ji's eyes. He didn't expect Zhang Chu to know the name Shang Changrong. Now it seems that this child has put in some effort.

"In two days, I will tell Lao Shang what is your novel written?"

I was idle, and Xu Ji asked casually. He really didn't expect that Zhang Chu, a young man who has always written best-selling fantasy works, would focus on Peking Opera.

Have any bestsellers ever been born in Peking Opera?

Anyway, Xu Ji didn't have it in his memory.

While walking down the stairs, Zhang Chu and he talked: "The novel's name is "Farewell My Concubine", which naturally has something to do with this drama."

"Oh? Farewell My Concubine? Isn't this the first time I came to the theater to watch?" Xu Jiren got old, but his memory still got worse, and he quickly recalled what happened.

He really didn't expect that he would choose a random place to inspire Zhang Chu's creative inspiration, and his heart was really a little excited for a moment.

"It's that drama. The characters in the novel almost correspond to the characters in Peking Opera, so it's a drama in the play." Zhang Chu admitted frankly that if this was spread, it would definitely be a beautiful story.

Xu Ji was not ready to leave now. He sat down directly on the chair in the theater lobby and greeted Zhang Chu: "Come on, come on, you can talk carefully, I have to listen carefully."

I have always known that Zhang Chu is quite good at writing, but most of the time it is commercial writing. Now I have to encourage and encourage if I am willing to write such an unpopular subject!

Zhang Chu also has a little selfishness. Since Xu Ji wants to shoot a movie with Peking Opera theme, wouldn’t that be right?

After the novel "Farewell My Concubine" is written, it will definitely be adapted into film and television, but the classic movie in the original time and space of the earth has had too much impact on Zhang Chu, so you will definitely be cautious when you are authorized.

Now Mr. Xu Ji has abilities and connections, and even art consultants can find the best in the country. It seems that giving it to him is the best choice.

As a work that closed the mountain, Xu Ji will definitely polish it carefully and take it seriously. It is impossible for the last film to ruin his reputation.

And the most important point is that he understands Peking Opera. There are too few directors who understand Peking Opera these days. Not to mention young directors, even most middle-aged directors have always been aware of it!

Overall, Zhang Chu was about to put his treasure on Xu Ji, just to see if Xu Ji was willing to make this movie. If he had found a good script or a good idea, there would definitely be no chance.

Now you have to try it!

"The story I tell in this novel involves a long time span. The protagonist Xiao Douzi was sent to the Liyuan for a living by his mother who was unable to raise him since childhood. Every time he was bullied by others, he always had the help of his senior brother Xiao Shitou, and the relationship between the two became stronger and stronger, gradually surpassing his brother."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and continued until he saw that Xu Ji had no special reaction. After all, it might be a story between two men. Although it was just a little bit of element, the older generation may not be able to accept it.

"Xiao Douzi was chosen as a female role because of her natural beauty, but she refused to admit that she was a female role because of her insistence on her identity. Therefore, she was often beaten by her master. Xiao Shitou has been risking her life to help her. After growing up, the two became famous actors for co-starring in the Peking Opera "Farewell My Concubine" and became famous throughout Yanjing City.

At this time, Xiao Douzi had already had his pseudonym Cheng Dieyi, and his senior brother Xiao Shitou was duan Xiaolou. The two of them enjoyed a short time of fame.

The good times did not last long. Duan Xiaolou, who had never understood Dieyi's relationship, wanted to marry a prostitute Juxian as his wife. Dieyi was heartbroken because of this, and her relationship with Duan Xiaolou gradually became distant and even broke up.

The period of revolution has arrived. The two of them have to betray each other for various reasons. After some twists and turns, Cheng Dieyi surrendered to the bureaucrat Yuan Shiqing in despair, but still did not escape the fate of being criticized and confronted.

Many years later, Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou, who had experienced vicissitudes, stood on the stage again in the empty theater, and returned to the source of all this "Farewell My Concubine", and finally Dieyi committed suicide on the stage with a smile."

Zhang Chu compressed the novel of 100,000 words to such a few words in one breath, and many twists and wonderful things were not mentioned in the middle. He was a little nervous now, not knowing what Xu Ji was thinking.

Xu Ji, who was in the old god, thought about it and said, "In this drama, Yu Ji was going to commit suicide. He was too immersed in the drama. It was probably because he was too desperate to cross time and space with Yu Ji. You may also know that one of the most famous characters of Lao Shang is Farewell My Concubine, but he played the King of Western Chu."

"Yes, I have seen Mr. Shang's version of "Farewell My Concubine" on TV, and the ginger is still so spicy."

"Your book is interesting, please leave it to me after you finish writing it." Xu Ji said suddenly. It doesn't matter on the surface, but it's a little anxious inside. The story sounds very dramatic. He wants to read the specific content of the full text now, rather than listening to a story summary!

******************

Last night, I was tempted by a gay friend's pictures of barbecuing, so the author Jun couldn't help but order a takeaway, but the tragedy was born.

Less than an hour after eating barbecue, my gums became swollen and I couldn't sleep for a night of pain. I didn't know how many ice cubes I had.

Everyone must remember that when eating barbecue, metronidazole capsules are always available at home.
