Chapter 1097 The troubles of becoming famous

"Shaolin Temple" is released in the mainland. Who is the most beneficial to it?

Of course it is Li Lianjie!

He suddenly became the embodiment of the Shaolin boy, and countless young people were crazy about Li Lianjie on the screen.

In a few months, these young people will travel thousands of miles to learn martial arts in Shaolin Temple in Songshan because they are fascinated by "Shaolin Temple", but what they see is a ruined temple.

It was also at this time that the local government discovered that Shaolin Temple had great potential for development, so it spared no expense to build Shaolin Temple and finally successfully operated it into a commercial brand.

Among the people who went to Shaolin Temple to learn art one after another, there was an ordinary rural youth. This young man named Wang Baoqiang probably never thought that in another twenty years, he would become a star of the same kung fu.

Of course, these are all things that happened later. At present, Li Lianjie has become popular all over China.

No matter where he goes, he will be recognized, and then surrounded him, allowing Li Lianjie to taste the glory of being famous.

Li Lianjie also heard from his master Wu Bin that the screenings of "Shaolin Temple" were in full swing throughout China, which made him very proud.

But when Li Lianjie asked "how much is the box office", Wu Bin was stunned.

Wu Bin, who is just responsible for training his apprentices, knows these things?

He hurried to ask the film industry insider responsible for the screening, but the reply he received was "I don't know".

On the one hand, the release of movies in China is not standardized at all. After the Broadcasting Administration approved the production and copying of major film factories, it directly sold them at a price ranging from hundreds or even thousands. In this way, no matter how much money the cinema screening gets, it will be a profit or loss.

Although the box office will be counted in the end, this box office is not interesting at all. What the film studio can only get is the allocation of money for selling copies.

It is an appropriation, not a share of the money.

Nowadays, all film studios are state-owned. How can you be qualified to share the money?

I can only say that after the superior unit gets the money, it will distribute it to you. If it sells it better, give it more, and if it sells it less, give it less.

On the other hand, "Shaolin Temple" is a bit different.

It was filmed by the Zhongyuan Film Production Company in Xiangjiang. Although it is also a family, it is still developing in Xiangjiang and is responsible for the frontier position for our publicity. We must not just give it a little.

After staying in Xiangjiang for a long time, I naturally learned the Xiangjiang style, and what I required was sharing.

They don’t need much, which is less than the local release requirements for Xiangjiang. It’s about 30% of the box office share, while usually 50% of the movies are released locally.

Given their particularity, this division was regarded as a serious task and was approved after discussion.

But they can only share the money after counting how many copies they sell.

As for how many copies they sell, there is actually no accurate number.

Because a copy of a movie is not made by a film studio.

For example, in the southeast, the Zhujiang Film Studio is responsible for copying, in the southwest, the Emei Film Studio is responsible for the responsibility, and in the northeast, the Jichun Film Studio is responsible for the responsibility...

Now they are all working in a market economy, so when they encounter very popular movies, they usually make more copies in addition to the predetermined number of copies, and selling them is equivalent to giving benefits to employees of their units.

But they certainly don't have this part of it.

This is the prototype of the small treasury.

The movie has only been released for a few days, and the statistics from various places have not been released, so Wu Bin cannot ask for specific numbers, which is normal.

But there are also well-informed people in the film industry who specifically told Wu Bin, "According to my years of experience, this film won a box office of 50 million, and there is no problem at all!"

When Wu Bin came back to tell Li Lianjie, Li Lianjie was even happier.

Because the manager of Zhongyuan Film told him that if the box office results are good, he will be paid.

What is the dividend? Li Lianjie, who went there, certainly knew it.

After watching "Life and Death" in a remote cinema, Li Lianjie was amazed at Fei Xiang, and at the same time he also received about 3 million US dollars in one breath, with a total of 20 million Hong Kong dollars plus brown red, which was even more envious.

I don’t expect to get too much dividends. If I want to give 50 million, I will give at least 30,000 or 50,000, right?

But his dream was quickly shattered.

Because the manager of Zhongyuan Film also quickly came to Shichahai Sports School and took out the dividends for the first copy settlement in front of Li Lianjie.

However, the dividend was not at all in hand, but at the principal of the sports school.

After watching the manager leave, the principal smiled and handed the suitcase full of RMB to the accountant, asking the accountant to deposit it in the bank. Li Lianjie couldn't help it.

"Principal, isn't this... this for me?" He mustered up the courage.

"You?" the principal laughed in silence, "Xiao Li, you are a member of our Shichahai Martial Arts Team and a member of our unit. Your achievements were also obtained with the help of everyone. 2. Their Zhongyuan Film Company signed a contract with our unit, so the money should be our overall Shichahai Sports School! We are in a mess here. You see, we will build a dormitory this year, and we also have to purchase some equipment for the playground and martial arts training ground. All of these costs money!

Oh, by the way, the last time you went to Xiangjiang, you agreed to make a movie with the film company in Xiangjiang, and you also took the money from others. When you came back, you didn’t hand it over, but squandered it everywhere. In this regard, our sports school leaders also saw that you worked very hard and serious and did not care about you. Why are you still so ignorant now? Didn’t you know what dedication is when you went to Xiangjiang?"

"I……"

Li Lianjie's face turned red and was about to say something, Wu Bin, who was standing beside him, stepped on his instep and spoke first: "Principal, don't be angry with this child. I will discipline him when I go back! The handling of this money should be used for public use, it should be!"

"Well, you still need a steady person like Master Wu to know how to behave." The principal waved his hand, "If it's okay, go back! Xiao Li, don't think too much. The school will consider it for you, don't worry!"

He didn't want to force it too much. After all, Li Lianjie still had two contract films and had signed them. If he left the burden, Shichahai Sports School would lose a lot of money.

...

Li Lianjie was taught by Wu Bin, but when Wu Bin pulled him back to the dormitory all the way, he still couldn't help but burst out.

"Master, why do you want to stop me? That money should be mine! Even if he doesn't give it all, he will give me half of it. It's all earned by me! What's it now? Is it a robbery?" Li Lianjie almost yelled.

"fart!"

Wu Bin, who has always been kind, was frustrated at this time and pointed at him and cursed: "What kind of mentality do you think you have? Without Shichahai Sports School, will you have the same you today? If they hadn't found Shichahai Sports School to ask for someone, could you be the starring actor of "Shaolin Temple"? Can you be famous today? Now, for a little money, you will not recognize your relatives? Do you even want to fight me?"

At this time, Huang Qiuyan, who happened to hear the news, rushed over and heard Wu Bin cursing, so she quickly pulled Li Lianjie, "Master, don't be angry, he has this bad temper and absolutely has no intention of being dissatisfied with you."

Li Lianjie also reacted at this time.

Wu Bin was the closest person he had in this Shichahai Martial Arts Team. Back then, his parents did not allow him to learn martial arts. Wu Bin visited his house several times in a row before he got his chance to practice martial arts.

Li Lianjie naturally remembered the master's training in his heart. He just got angry in front of Wu Bin just now, but it was not targeting Wu Bin.

Hearing Huang Qiuyan gave herself a step, Li Lianjie hurriedly said: "Master, I'm not saying you... they're too much! I came back from acting in Xiangjiang and received a 50,000 yuan in salary. You know. But you also know that I didn't use it indiscriminately, so I just built two houses for Qiuyan's and my family."

Li Lianjie did not use money indiscriminately, Wu Bin knew this.

Moreover, as soon as Li Lianjie came back from Xiangjiang, he brought himself a lot of gifts, watches, and suits, and another 000 yuan, which is equivalent to his salary for half a year.

Li Lianjie said that this was the first time my apprentice made money outside, so he must express his feelings, so Wu Bin happily accepted it.

"You said, why are you so stupid? Even though you know the principal's intention is to borrow your filming in Xiangjiang to tell you, you are still stupid enough to rush up to defend him. Can you justify it? Do you still want this job?" Wu Bin said, "If it weren't for the person who introduced this drama to you, Mr. Yin Jun, if it weren't for knowing that Mr. Yin Jun admired you very much, and asked you to star in the next two dramas, would you be able to take off today?"

"I'm not afraid of him!" Li Lianjie said, "Master, I told you. Jun Jun admires me very much. He wants me to sign a contract with their company!"

"It's certainly good to go to Xiangjiang, but are you really planning to leave Huajing and go there to work alone?" Wu Bin pondered, "Can you want anything here?"

"But..." Li Lianjie wanted to refute, but found that the words were on his lips and could not say anything.

If he is ready, where will he come back?

If he is willing to give up his relatives and friends here, will he have already started working on filming in Xiangjiang?

"I think you don't have to be so panicked. You are only 8 years old, so don't worry." Wu Bin said to him, "Aren't there two movies here? You'll finish the show first! When you've become popular in these movies, you will have more capital and confidence to develop in Xiangjiang! I believe that by that time, Mr. Yin Jun will pay more attention to you!"

"Yes, Jun Shao has not had such an idea. Otherwise, how could he ask you to star in two movies with the same theme?" Huang Qiuyan also advised him, "Two years later, you are only 20 years old. Will Jun Shao despise you? You regard these two years as a test of yourself. On the one hand, you work hard to act, and on the other hand, you also improve yourself. When you are more prepared, we will go to Xiangjiang to work together. Isn't it better?"

The most respected master and favorite woman persuaded Li Lianjie at the same time, and the anger and resentment in his heart finally dissipated a lot.

"Okay, I'll listen to you!"

Li Lianjie's clenched fists loosened.

Although Wu Bin and Huang Qiuyan both smiled on their faces, they didn't know that Li Lianjie was secretly swearing in his heart.

I must work hard!

I must control my own destiny!

I will never be restricted by others anymore. I will become an existence that everyone admires, just like Jun Shao!
