Chapter 88 Follow-up to the theme song

Three days later.

Judge Fangda's grandson got out of the car and came to the conference room of Changfeng Film and Television Company.

Many investors have already arrived in advance, including some acquaintances of Brother Da Fei.

Director Shen returned to China two days ago and borrowed a friend's private jet. With a fake passport and identity in hand, he was under investigation after leaving the airport.

Forging an identity and using a fake passport to enter the country is very troublesome for ordinary people, but for Shen Yu, the procedure can be completed.

The American Federation is very interested in Director Shen's Gotham IP. This is a good thing for revitalizing local culture. Director Shen is eager to come back and make movies. Russia may not let him go, so he has violated the law slightly. This is also human nature. It's common sense - the first three Gotham movies, The Godfather, Saving Private Gordon and Schindler's List, have created huge economic income for Hollywood and also made them famous. As for the follow-up... this is simply a piece of gold. Damn, if this series were to be filmed, the Qian scene would make people tremble.

What's wrong with people rushing back to their country to increase local economic income? This is really not a problem.

You see, Russia also actively cooperated and changed its entry and exit records, making everything legal.

The conference room was in a mess, but after Shen Yu came in, everyone suddenly became quiet.

The characters in the conference room have changed slightly.

When Shen Yu was filming the first two movies, everyone was familiar with the investors, but when he left everyone behind to work with Xiao Lizhu in the third movie, someone started gossiping.

Why did Shen Yu forget everyone's support? Why did Shen Yu do this unethically?

Although it was only a very small number of people, and Shen Yu had no reaction at the time, it was only after Schindler's List was filmed and released that everyone realized that this movie was not profitable.

This is a movie specifically designed to make money, and it can only be invested by the Ming Empire. After all, the Ming Dynasty is the best in the world, and the people who are rescued are also Ming people.

As a result, there were fewer people gossiping. However, Shen Yu went to Russia to shoot another movie. As for why he wanted to shoot this movie, the mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the east coast verified many rumors.

At this time, the gossips discovered that Shen Yu had grown to the point where they needed to look up to him.

Just because a movie can attract big shots, what else are you dissatisfied with?

Look carefully, the two people who gossiped the loudest were not invited into the conference room.

"Everyone, I'm sorry, we have just started filming the fourth part of the series we were promised.

First of all, let me state that I encountered some troubles a few days ago, thanks to the help of some friends, so I am very grateful to them.

The fourth movie is called Silence of the Lambs, and the filming budget is 8 million yuan."

Shen Yu's words made the people below gasp in amazement. For other great directors, the bigger the investment in filming, the higher the price. However, Shen Yu's fourth film was actually only a medium-sized production worth 8 million yuan.

"However, taking into account issues such as the film's later publicity and distribution, the entire investment amount is US$20 million, and the copyright of the entire film is included, including the theme song, etc."

"theme song?"

Some people still don't understand what this means, and some people's eyes are already shining.

Making movies has always been a high-risk investment, but music is different.

Good music can make a singer earn millions or more a year. Touring concerts are a super money printing machine, and a song can keep a singer singing for ten or twenty years, and he can continue to make money when he is old.

"It's still the same as before, the investment amount is 20 million, 500,000 per share, I will keep 20% and invest in shares with technical and director fees. For the rest, you can subscribe for one or a few shares. The shares are limited. Please understand. .”

In other words, with 16 million shares flowing out and a quota of 320 shares, everyone present can get at least one share.

Don't underestimate the share of only 500,000 per share. In the first two investments, everyone's investment has doubled at least five times. At the same time, there will be a steady stream of subsequent income. Just like a long-term stock, every time it is released There are dividends etc.

"Director Shen."

Someone stood up and said very politely to Shen Yu.

"We all agree that your share is too low, which is not good."

Shen Yu doesn't contribute any money or director's fee, he only gets a share, a 20% share, which in the eyes of other directors is an incredible discount, but in the eyes of many people, this is simply giving away money.

Shen Yu gave everyone money.

Although the last of his four films, The Dawns Are Quiet Here, has not been officially released, film critics in Russia have given full marks to it. The three theme songs are also being circulated around the world - sung by the eldest princess herself. Music movie trailer.

The eldest princess said that although she lost the bet between her and Shen Yu, Director Shen let her go out of gentlemanly behavior and allowed her to sing the three songs and so on.

What is this concept? The eldest princess of Russia has to take the initiative to sing for Shen Yu. Because of the quality of the song, are you still worried about the quality of Shen Yu's next theme song?

If there is an investment, and the investment is 500,000, and the money starts to be divided after two or three months, you can get more than double the income in the first year, and then there will be a steady stream of income every year, and you can make money from DVDs and peripherals.

This kind of investment has proven to be credible three or four times in a row (the box office revenue of Schindler's List exploded, and the total is estimated to be more than 500 million US dollars. Of course, this is thanks to the contributions of more than a billion people in the wealthy Ming Dynasty. There are also group movie viewings organized by government agencies, etc. Although this project does not make a penny, they will be very, very happy if Universal Pictures builds a temple for Shen Yu, and other aspects of the income will not be able to do so at all. Measure it in terms of money.)

So, why does the person who is doing this project want to bring everyone together to make a fortune? Wouldn't he go to the bank to get a loan and make all the money himself?

He only takes 20%, which makes no sense at all.

He has now put a theme song into the movie, packaging it and selling it instead of keeping it for himself.

This can no longer be described as generous. Everyone looked at Shen Yu like they were looking at a saint.

"Gentlemen, I am very grateful for your recognition of me.

I don't think there is any difference between the money in my hands and yours. We are all friends.

The fourth movie is different from the first three and may have problems during review, so I will give some shares to some investors on the other side of the ocean in exchange for a simultaneous global release."

Shen Yu was also helpless. The main reason why he gave up the dividends and put those two songs in the movie was because he couldn't get money.

After filming the third movie, Shen Yu borrowed 50 million US dollars from the bank to prepare for a movie next year. However, the bank's loan is not something you borrowed money from, and he will directly give it to you. Such a large amount can make A bank manager must follow up the whole process of a project that is a thorn in the side of the bank and issue the loan step by step.

The project there is now in full swing, and only 30% of the 50 million loan has been spent. However, according to the system evaluation, the money is not considered to have fallen into a bottomless pit. On the contrary, it is only counted as a cost of 10 million.

Okay, so what can Shen Yu do?

If the movie is going to be shot, then let’s give the shares to outsiders and let those people enjoy the dividends and benefits.

If he wasn't afraid that people wouldn't understand, he wouldn't even need the 20%.

Three shortcomings and five shortcomings make a great success possible.

In this case, why not make friends?

320 copies will at least allow him to make more friends this time.

To do some things and deal with some people, he needs more friends.

The people below were very touched. Really, in this era, there are such people sharing the cake.

…

After sending away the investors one by one, Shen Yu returned to the company.

There is a small museum on the first floor of the company, which contains a lot of things about the company's movies, but it has now been turned into a Shen Yu Film Exhibition Hall.

This is not because Shen Yu looks down on the works of previous directors, but the people who organize this museum have complained to Shen Yu many times, saying that other directors’ works take up too much space, the museum is too small, and many visitors don’t recognize those works. People and so on, and he also felt that Director Shen’s works were enough and there was no place to display them.

Shen Yu finally acquiesced to the flattery and enthusiasm of the people below, and now, a pretty and cute little girl was playing in the museum.

That was the little princess. She had a camera hanging around her neck, wandering around the displays and taking photos from time to time.

"Brother Shen, you are back."

She said to Shen Yu with a smile, her brows filled with happiness.

Shen Yu won the bet, but the day after he came back, the tsar and his wife called him and apologized very embarrassedly.

First of all, they are very embarrassed about what their daughter did.

Second, they hope that Shen Yu can promise to let the eldest princess continue to sing the second theme song, which is the ending song of the movie that is released.

During the phone call, the Czarina and his wife thanked Director Shen Yuchen for filming the movie. The bet Sophia made with him was her daughter's fault. Director Shen was asked not to be angry. They would send a special envoy to explain.

The couple talked to Shen Yu politely, and Shen Yu also politely said he understood.

One day later, the little princess came over on a special plane and told Shen Yu the whole story.

About the princess’s meditation method, about the dangers of her cultivation, etc.

After the tsar couple secretly met with Xiao Lizhu, they learned about the dangers faced by their daughter - Sophia never told her parents about the dangers of meditation and the chances of her having problems, just like a worker who goes out to work without telling her parents about the difficulties. , she is a genius, everything is fine with her.

But how could the Tsar and his wife not know the risks their daughter faced?

Since ancient times, there have been endless problems with people practicing meditation in the royal family and among the people. They have also been worried about their daughters. After hearing Xiao Lizhu's words, the tsar and his wife made a decision to release a movie in which she sang the theme song without telling the eldest princess.

The phone is not safe, and it would be bad for Shen Yu if the news leaked. If other extraordinary beings knew that Shen Yu's songs had this ability, it would harm Shen Yu.

So, he sent the little princess to explain in advance, hoping that Shen Yu would agree.

"I'm sorry, this is my sister's fault, but we still have to hide it from her before the movie is released. Otherwise, with her bad temper, she will definitely make a fuss with her parents and never do anything embarrassing like going back on her word. I'm really sorry about the matter."

The little princess said this to Shen Yu at that time, what did Shen Yu say to this?

He is not the kind of person who is stubborn and insists on holding on to a certain concept without changing it. He didn't give the eldest princess a second song before because he felt that this person was unscrupulous and uninteresting. You are already a princess and you have money. If you have the power, why bother competing with others for a chance?

Only now did she realize that her music actually had such magical power that it could calm her inner demons and keep her from foreign objects... Well, in that case, there was no harm in giving it to her.

As for the conditions brought by the little princess, a certain cooperation matter, which was simply called giving money, giving him the income corresponding to the song "The Dawn is Quiet Here", and at the same time she was also willing to provide some generous conditions, etc., Shen Yu refused.

He didn't even have anything to say. The only person who lost in this incident was the male singer. He also called and thanked Director Shen for his kindness. He got several good opportunities, including going to the National University. The lead singer of a theater opera was judged to be able to advance to three levels of professional qualifications, and booked a certain grand prize. He was very happy and grateful. He knew that Director Shen had fought for all this for him, so he thanked him again and again.

Well, these things are much more valuable than a song.
