Chapter 118: Filming Completed! Box Office Profit Sharing Is Here
"Su Xin!!!"
The Iron-Hearted Godly Marquis was in so much pain that he wished he was dying.
He didn't know what he was pursuing in his life.
Is it the desire for freedom after being reprimanded by his father?
Or is it the pursuit of rights because of powerlessness?
Or maybe it is the love that Su Xin can never get?
A lifetime of planning came to nothing the moment Su Xin died.
Originally, Tiedan Shenhou wanted to be emperor because only by becoming emperor could he do whatever he wanted and marry Suxin, with whom he had been engaged before, as his wife.
I just stopped and started along the way, missed too much, made too many mistakes, and in the end, the purpose was no longer so pure.
But when Su Xin died, everything became empty.
It’s like a man who works hard just to buy a car he loves. One day, this man tries every possible means, disregards morality and rules, and finally becomes a rich man.
On this day, open the browser and pursue your dreams.
Only to find out that this car had been discontinued a long time ago.
Although he is rich now and can buy many other cars, nothing can compare to his childhood dream.
But the pain that Tiedan Shenhou felt at this moment was far more intense than this.
Han Zhou was watching from the scene.
It was written in the shooting instructions written by Han Zhou that this section should have movie-level texture.
The actor who plays Tiedan Shenhou is Luo Daming. Luo Daming himself is a TV King and has also starred in some movies. For him, performing in a movie-like manner is not a big problem.
The Iron-Hearted Divine Marquis is truly mad.
To the extent that, he, who was originally invincible, was easily stabbed twice by Cheng Shifei, Duan Tianya and Gui Hai Yidao.
The Iron-hearted Divine Marquis was crawling up the steps toward the throne.
This is also the most ironic part of the whole film.
In fact, Tiedan Shenhou doesn’t love Suxin that much.
He just wanted to prove himself by marrying Su Xin.
And the throne, at his dying moment, was still a means for him to prove himself.
If I die, I want to die on the dragon throne.
Life is fulfilling.
The road to the rivers and lakes is long, and the court is deep.
The moment when Tiedan Shenhou breathed his last was also the moment when the filming of "The World's Number One" was completed.
Han Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
When making a movie, Han Zhou can certainly rely on his memory and completely reproduce each shot at a time, regardless of the cost.
However, this method is useless when shooting TV series, because it is impossible to replicate it completely due to the cost.
This time, Uncle Han helped invite Zhou Xuyun to be the real director, and Zhang Jiuqun was appointed as the director in name only. Han Zhou was learning as the boss of the screenwriter team.
I learned a lot.
After seeing Luo Daming's performance, Zhang Jiuqun felt lost and looked at Zhou Xuyun.
Zhou Xuyun nodded.
Zhang Jiuquan stood up, stood on a chair, and held a loud speaker: "The whole play is finished!!!"
"oh!!!!"
The scene was filled with jubilation.
Wang Mingyuan yelled, "Come on! Take a group photo after the shooting!!!"
Wang Mingyuan, who plays Cao Zhengchun, had actually finished filming his scenes three days ago.
But Wang Mingyuan was in no hurry to leave.
In the past few days, Han Zhou has been filling in the gaps and adding more shots.
Han Zhou tried his best to make up for some unsatisfactory shots.
Although the director is Zhang Jiuquan, although the real director is Zhou Xuyun.
But Han Zhou still has to be responsible for his own investment.
In order to shoot this TV series, Han Zhou invested all the money he earned in the past six months.
And part of the box office share has been advanced. Now the film remuneration will start to be paid soon. Fortunately, the box office share of "He is a Dragon" has been paid to various theaters one after another.
Thank you so much, Timo, you are such a good man.
If Timo hadn't spent all his fortune to shoot "He is a Dragon", Han Zhou's company's evolution would have been delayed by at least half a year.
Then we won’t be able to catch up with the speedrunners and this summer.
Han Zhou walked towards the crowd, and An Lan came over with a smile.
At this time, Han Zhou, who played the role of Cheng Shifei, had used the Vajra Indestructible once, so his body was covered with gold powder.
After washing, there is still a little residue left.
An Lan smiled and wiped off some gold powder with her hand.
To be precise, Cheng Shifei and Princess Yunluo stood together.
Tang Zhou and Ye Manyi were standing together at this time, with Ye Manyi hugging Tang Zhou's arm.
To be precise, Gui Hai Yidao and Shangguan Haitang stood together.
But the problem was that Ye Manyi was still holding Zheng Xiaolong in front of her, touching the little bald head with her hand, smiling.
Well, this is the young version of Gui Hai Yidao.
Behind him, Zhao Ziyu and Yang Jun stood on Wu Li's left and right.
Looking at the camera, Yang Jun said: "You choose one between the two of us."
Wu Li was a little dumbfounded: "What to choose?"
Zhao Ziyu: "Look, except for you, all the three male protagonists in the play are dating the female protagonist, right?"
Wu Li looked at Han Zhou and An Lan in the front: "It seems that they are not in a relationship."
Yang Jun: “That’s about the same.”
Zhao Ziyu: "So, are you ready to tell us who you like?"
No one could have imagined that the famous movie star Zhao Ziyu and the first-line actress Yang Jun both liked Wu Li.
Before last year, Wu Li had not had any film contracts for more than a year and had been staying at home.
Many people think that Wu Li may have retired.
Who would have thought that two popular actresses would both like him?
Wu Li was at a loss and didn't know what to say.
Photographer Chen Xiaoyong: “Look here!”
Yang Jun: "Okay! You greedy ghost."
Zhao Ziyu: "You don't want to choose, so you want them all?"
Wu Li: “…”
At this time, Chen Xiaoyong waved his hand: "Come on, everyone, shout together, No. 1 in the world!!!"
"All over the world!!" Following Chen Xiaoyong's command, everyone at the scene.
"First!"
“Number one in the world!”
No one shouted in unison, everyone just laughed.
Chen Xiaoyong: "Let's shout together, shout together!"
Everyone knows that when you shout “茄子”, the “子” in it looks like someone is laughing.
But who knew that the word "the best in the world" seemed to make him laugh even more and more happily than the one who called out "eggplant"? !
"Click"
As the shutter clicked, there was cheering at the scene.
"It's done, it's done! It's done! It's done!"
Chen Xiaoyong was very satisfied with this photo.
But after finishing the shooting, a question suddenly occurred to me.
A group photo of all the crew members in front of and behind the scenes.
Why am I, the photographer, not in this photo?
"Hey! Don't go, you missed one person, take another one!!!"
"Why!"
Everyone dispersed happily, how could they shout back?
Chen Xiaoyong stood there with his hands on his hips, letting out a sigh of relief: "Is this the staff behind the scenes?"
That night, in Xi City, we went to everyone’s favorite Sichuan restaurant called Three Kingdoms.
Drink and chat happily.
Every time this happens, Han Zhou is very happy.
Because I can drink alcohol with a clear conscience.
Feel the feeling of not being detached from this world.
They toasted each other and drank three rounds of wine.
Some people agreed to film a movie together.
Someone greeted me and said let's get together again in the future.
In fact, the entertainment industry is a very small circle.
Don’t think that many people are in the news and appear on TV every day.
But that doesn’t mean they can meet.
The leading actors of a drama crew are all first- and second-tier actors. They may not see each other for the next ten years, let alone get together.
These popular men, their wives, parents and even their parents only see them a few times throughout the year.
Not to mention friends who filmed together.
Perhaps, after this separation, it will be more than ten years before we meet again.
The happiest person on the set was Liu Yiling.
This time, Liu Yiling was invited by Han Zhou to invite Su Xin.
Although there are not many shots, I really satisfied my acting addiction.
When I acted in "Hello Mr. Tree" before, I didn't have any lines.
Now at least she has a character with lines, although she has changed from Han Zhou's character's sister-in-law to mother.
Liu Yiling has made up her mind that next time she meets Han Zhou, she will definitely call him "good boy" as a joke.
After getting drunk, the group of people started bragging.
Some people say that urging others to drink is so unsophisticated. Whoever doesn’t drink is a dog. How can you say that?
Han Zhou, who had been forced to drink by many people and was a little dazed, stood up with his glass in hand and chanted:
"Fei Guang Fei Guang, let me offer you a glass of wine."
Everyone looked at Han Zhou, not knowing what he was going to say.
Han Zhou continued: "I don't know how high the sky is, or how thick the earth is.
I only see the cold moon and warm sun, which are used to burn people's lives. "
"Where is the God, where is Taiyi.
In the east of the sky there is a tree called Ruo, under which is a dragon holding a candle."
"Liu Che's Maoling has many stagnant bones,
Ying Zheng's coffin was made of abalone.
Han Zhou was muttering to himself, reciting poems and tapping his wine glass with chopsticks.
Everyone cheered: "What a good poem!"
“What a great poem!”
"What is the poem called?"
"The days are short." Han Zhou raised his glass: "Come on, let's drink to the fleeting time!"
"Fei Guang Fei Guang, let me offer you a glass of wine!"
Han Zhou had been planning to sing a song at the banquet, using this song to make his friends today always remember the time when he was number one in the world.
One friend is enough.
Unfortunately, Han Zhou was drunk.
So much so that there was no singing.
When Han Zhou woke up, he saw An Lan wiping his face with a towel.
Han Zhou stood up and shook his head: "What time is it?"
An Lan glanced at her phone: "Half past twelve."
Han Zhou stood up and rubbed his temple: "Why did you drink so much today?"
After An Lan wiped Han Zhou's face, she saw Han Zhou sitting up, then pulled the cup over and draped it behind Han Zhou.
Han Zhou looked up: "Aren't you going back to Yanjing today?"
An Lan is about to release her first album "Falling in Love at First Sight".
An Lan: "You can come back anytime. If I'm not here, who will take care of you? You don't even have an assistant?"
"I have an assistant, but he's not with me." Han Zhou held out his hand, and An Lan picked up the cup of water: "It should be warm enough."
Han Zhou took a sip of water, and his thirst after drinking was relieved a lot.
Coming back to his senses, Han Zhou put down the cup of water and stood up.
An Lan: "Now that you're awake, I'll leave. I'll let Chen Xiaoyong come and look after you."
Han Zhou: "I'm awake now, I'm fine."
"Do you know how much you drank? It's okay..." An Lan looked at Han Zhou: "There is still one thing I haven't done today."
Before Han Zhou could come to his senses, An Lan had already thrown herself into his arms and kissed him with her red lips.
Han Zhou hugged An Lan and responded fiercely.
Soon, Han Zhou's hand stroked An Lan's waist and gently pinched it. It was soft and big.
An Lan stepped back shyly and slapped the back of Han Zhou's hand, which missed.
"Princess Yunluo, say goodbye to Cheng Shifei!"
Han Zhou twisted his body like Cheng Shifei: "Hey, why are you suing?"
An Lan picked up her bag happily: "Then I'm going to catch the plane. If it's any later, I'll have to leave tomorrow."
Han Zhou: "Who will take you there?"
"Shall I take you there?"
"You'd better not go out and get some fresh air." An Lan looked at Han Zhou: "Brother Yuan is going back to Yanjing. He promised to go to the amusement park with the children early tomorrow morning."
"I just happened to go with them."
Han Zhou thought about it and decided that it was okay.
An Lan looked at Han Zhou: "When are we going to the amusement park?"
Han Zhou opened his arms and said, "Go to an amusement park? If I want to go, I'll go to the amusement park I built. What's so fun about going to someone else's amusement park?"
An Lan smiled and said, "Okay, then when the amusement park is built, let's go play together."
"When you finish your company affairs, come to Mailang. There may be a radio interview or something about the album."
Han Zhou made an OK gesture.
An Lan left reluctantly.
An Lan went out and Chen Xiaoyong came in.
"When are we going to the amusement park?"
Han Zhou kicked Chen Xiaoyong out again.
Chen Xiaoyong touched it back again, and laughed until he was numb: "Brother Han, do you have a plan for our next play?"
Han Zhou: "You can take a paid break first. I have plans for the next movie, but I don't know if you will be allowed to shoot it."
"But you must be present at "Summer of Idols"."
Chen Xiaoyong scratched his head: "Okay."
Han Zhou: "How much did you drink?"
Chen Xiaoyong: “Two bottles.”
Han Zhou was suspicious: "Two bottles? You look like you drank two bottles of mineral water."
Chen Xiaoyong flirted with her: "Brother Han, you only weighed three kilograms and you're already losing it. I'm not that kind of person."
It is obvious that it is confirmed that Chen Xiaoyong is Chen Dayong's biological brother.
…
As soon as he woke up in the morning, Han Zhou took the high-speed train back to Hengdian.
The box office revenue sharing has all been calculated.
Some theaters have already paid the money, and some theaters are waiting for confirmation from New World before paying.
You should know that for the project of "He is a Dragon", Han Zhou had paid out all his prize money in advance, and now he has finally got the money back.
Moreover, "Summer of Idols" will cost money soon, and there is also an agreement with Yinlang.
Everything costs money.
Han Zhou had to keep an eye on this matter personally.
Recently, major film production companies have all received their cuts from the Spring Festival movies.
"Assassin's Mark" 2.1 billion.
"Pigsy" grossed 600 million yuan.
"Pink and White Lovers" grossed 320 million.
"A Lonely Lamp" 530 million.
"He is a Dragon" grossed 510 million.
In terms of box office sharing, the cinema chain and the film company split the profits 50-50, with New World and Tianle sharing a total of 250 million.
The New World gets 40% of it, or 100 million.
Han Zhou had calculated it once before and found that after deducting costs and bonus expenses, he had to pay a 25% tax.
In the end, we got 47 million.
Because money keeps flowing into the account, tax filing is also put on the agenda.
The company
The only difference was that Han Zhou had made a rough estimate at the beginning.
Actually, the calculation was wrong.
Because, starting from New Year's Day this year, a new regulation has been implemented.
In the past three years, film and television companies have been exempted from 15% of taxes on their films released in theaters.
Since the policy has biased support, some people will lose out from the policy.
Since the beginning of the year, all subsidies and allowances related to the animation industry have been cancelled.
Subsidies for the animation industry have been implemented for three years, but during these three years, countless companies have defrauded subsidies by developing animations.
No dog would watch the animation made .
It is true that in the past three years, many companies have developed many good animations, but their market share is too low.
In order to produce a few animations, the industry has to subsidize billions of dollars for animation.
Therefore, this year the animation subsidy was directly cancelled, and the development of animation was strictly restricted, with an intermediate review system implemented.
Netizens are now criticizing this matter, saying that it will cause the newly rising Chinese animation industry to shrink again.
However, abnormal development is problematic .
Just imagine, there is only one bee, and the flower field is full of flies. Although the honey production of the bees has increased, don’t you think it’s disgusting?
The subsidies that were canceled for the animation industry were all concentrated on movies.
Although more people criticize movies, but!
As long as it is a movie released in theaters, it is at least watchable, and there will be no modeling disproportion, palms longer than feet, or hands longer than feet on each side.
Therefore, starting this year, new regulations have been implemented to reduce some of the taxes for film companies.
In this way, Hanzhou New World purchased the copyright of "He is a Dragon" and operated it, and the final output should be 54 million after calculation.
After seeing the calculated final income and the tax return list, Han Zhou's first reaction was not to be happy.
Instead, he called Timo.
After the phone rang for a long time, Timo Pushkin finally picked up the phone: "Damn it, who is it at this time of night?"
Han Zhou said in English: "Timo, I am Han Zhou."
"Oh! Han!" There was the sound of Timo getting up and lifting the quilt.
"Han, my movie hasn't been planned yet. If you want to be the male lead, you have to wait."
There was a woman's voice on the other end of the line.
I couldn't hear it clearly, but it seemed to mean stop making noise.
Then there was a 'pop' sound, and Timo turned his head: "Don't talk."
Then he turned around and said, "Haha, why did you think of calling me?"
Han Zhou: "I'm here to report to you the box office results of He is a Dragon."
"He is a Dragon" earned 500 million yuan at the box office in China.
"Converted into US dollars, that's 73 million."
There were some strange noises coming from the other end of the line, and finally Timo's roar.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!!!"
Timo on the other side obviously didn't expect this.
He didn't even care about the box office of "He is a Dragon" in China.
He felt that Han Zhou might end up losing money.
Unexpectedly... it was a huge profit.
The problem is that "He is a Dragon" was a devastating failure in the bear country, and in the end the box office did not even reach 7 million US dollars.
Not even one-tenth of China's.
Han Zhou: "Don't get angry, I just want to say that your Dragon was a success, not a failure."
“It’s just that you chose the wrong market.”
Timo was screaming, and the woman next to him seemed to be fully awake.
He said something and then started to talk in a hurry.
Timo: "Damn, I'm so mad, I'm so angry!"
"But, it's your profit. Maybe I should try to release my next movie in China at the same time."
Han Zhou: "Timo, your filming style is actually very interesting. I have an idea for a series of movies that would suit you very well. I think it should be a box office hit in other countries as long as it's not in the Bear Country."
"But I can't start investing in new movies yet, so I'm telling you this first."
Timo sighed: "Well, I'd better take on some other movies in the United States and make some money first."
"However, after the success of Dragon, I will have something to say here in Archangel City."
American films are extremely dependent on the Chinese market. Timo has a movie revenue of over 500 million, so it will be much easier to negotiate with the film companies in Archangel City.
Han Zhou: "Okay, we'll talk again when we have a chance. I won't disturb your sleep."
On the other side, Timo said goodbye and threw his phone aside.
Then there's all this 'turn over', 'higher point', 'pop'.
Han Zhou hung up the phone.
After receiving the 54 million, Han Zhou immediately notified the finance department and cashier to quickly pay the remuneration of "The World's Number One" to those who had not yet received it.
Because the company was dealing with taxes and profits on a large scale for the first time, Han Zhou and Yang Hong were both keeping an eye on the company.
Over the course of three days, I slowly sorted things out one by one, and in the process established some small rules regarding cashiering and finance.
And after these three days.
An Lan’s first album “Falling in Love at First Sight” has been released for a day and a half.
The sales data for the first day of release was compiled.
The industry was in an uproar!
Han Zhou immediately booked a ticket to learn from their experience. After all, Mailang is an established music company and its album distribution is worth learning.
As a result, when "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" was completed, Han Zhou did not have time to watch the grand ceremony of the completion in the company.
