Since Zeng Li had his own ideas, Cao Jun did not force him, so he walked up and sat next to Zeng Li, wanting to kiss Zeng Li.

Zeng Li pushed him away with a look of disgust and said, "You haven't brushed your teeth yet, so don't kiss me."

Cao Jun was helpless, but he could only obey and went to the bathroom to wash up.

After a while, Cao Jun came out of the bathroom, but did not see Zeng Li, but heard the sound of pots and pans coming from the kitchen.

Cao Jun came to the kitchen and saw Zeng Li busy in front of the stove, so he walked forward and hugged her from behind: "What kind of breakfast can you cook for me?"

Zeng Li heard Cao Jun's footsteps long ago and replied with a smile: "I'll give it to you."

"You want to eat noodles, do you want to put something on it?"

Cao Jun thought for a while and said, "Just put an egg in it."

"Okay, you go out first. I'll bring it to you when it's cooked."

"Thank you sister Li, okay!" After saying that, Cao Jun kissed Zeng Li on the face.

"Oh, you hate it. If you call me Li Mei again, I won't cook for you."

"Okay, okay, stop shouting, I'll go out first."

After a while, Zeng Li brought a bowl of hot egg noodles from the kitchen.

Cao Jun took a bite and felt that the taste was just average. It couldn't be said to be delicious, but it could not be said to be delicious. Anyway, it was just okay.

Zeng Li put his face on his hands, looked at Cao Jun expectantly, and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Cao Jun smiled and replied: "It's delicious, it tastes great, that's what it tastes like!"

Zeng Li also knew that Cao Jun was teasing her on purpose, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "What do you mean it's just this taste? How can I cook noodles with a different taste?"

Cao Jun nodded and said seriously: "Yes, the noodles you cook taste of love."

Zeng Li looked at Cao Jun as if he were an alien, and said, dumbfounded: "When did you become so numb?"

Cao Jun smiled and replied: "That's because you didn't know me well enough before."

After finishing a bowl of noodles, Cao Jun's stomach was full and he wanted to exercise to eliminate food.

Zeng Li didn't give him a chance and even made tea for him to drink.

Cao Jun drank a cup of hot tea and said, "You can move to my place from now on. Don't live in an apartment anymore."

Zeng Li did not agree and asked instead: "Haven't you heard that distance can produce beauty?"

"If we live together every day, you may become annoying to me before long."

Since Zeng Li had already said this, Cao Jun did not force it and thought it would be better to let nature take its course.

After eating and drinking, Cao Jun took Zeng Li back to his room and waited until the sun went down before sending Zeng Li back to his apartment.

In the following days, Cao Jun didn't go anywhere, just waiting for Zeng Li to come find him when he was free.

Therefore, Cao Jun did three things every day, eating and sleeping.

Of course, Cao Jun's thoughts were not only on Zeng Li. He was also thinking about whether to invest in the movie "Crazy Stone".

From a business point of view, since there are currently not many platforms and channels for income, what you earn by investing in a movie is actually a share of the movie theater’s box office.

First, 5% of the total box office of all films must be paid to the state as a special fund for the film industry. Secondly, a 3.3% special business tax must be paid, which is directly deducted and paid by the theater from the total box office.

The above two items, totaling 5% + 3.3% = 8.3%, are called "non-separable box office".

The remaining 1 - 8.3% = 91.7% is the "separable box office", also known as the "net box office". It can be obtained: net box office = (1 - 8.3%) x total box office.

Then, Huaying Digital Film Development Co., Ltd., a wholly state-owned enterprise directly under the State Administration of Press and Publication, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huaguo Film Co., Ltd., will collect 1% to 3% of the net box office as a distribution agency fee

, referred to as "Zhongshu Agency Fee".

This agency fee is paid by the theater chain to "Huaguo Film Digital Company", but this account sharing stage only exists for blockbusters, not small films.

Finally, of the remaining box office, that is, the box office after deducting the "Washu agency fee" from the net box office (hereinafter represented by Δ), cinemas share 50%, theater chains share 7%, and producers and distributors share 43% in total.

If the cinema and theater chain are the same company, such as "Wanda" and "Jinyi", then it will exclusively enjoy this 57% (i.e. 50% + 7%).

If the producer and distributor are the same company, then it will have exclusive access to the 43%.

Generally speaking, the distributor will agree with the producer to charge 5% to 15% of the above Δ as its distribution agency fee.

Then only 43%-15%= 28% belongs to the producer, that is, 28% of Δ belongs to the producer.

In other words, if a movie invests 3 million in production and gets 100 million in box office, then after dividing by seven and eight, the producer can get 28% of the box office share after deducting the shooting cost, which is 25 million.

about income.

If the final box office of this movie is only 30 million, then the producer can also get a box office share of about 8 million.

Now, the movie "Crazy Stone" has received an investment of 3 million yuan, but there is definitely not enough money to shoot it. Even if it is really going to be made, it will be very hard to make, and it will take special efforts to make the movie successful.

Moreover, for the producers, Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone" needs a box office of 9 million to be able to make back the money.

However, Cao Jun is confident in the box office of the movie "Crazy Stone". According to his understanding, in his previous life, the final box office of this movie seemed to be around 26 million.

If this movie can eventually exceed 30 million, the producer will also be able to earn a considerable amount of income.

After several days of careful consideration, Cao Jun finally decided to invest in the movie "Crazy Stone".

For Cao Jun, this is actually a new attempt. This is his first time investing in a movie as an investor.

Cao Jun has calculated that if he invests 2 million, plus Andy Lau's 3 million, to shoot the movie "Crazy Stone", as long as the box office of the movie can reach 25 million, after deducting the cost, he will probably be able to earn

Around 2 million.

If this movie can be released next year, the profit will double in a year, which is more cost-effective than real estate speculation, mainly because the cycle is short and fast enough.

So, Cao Jun told Ning Hao about his idea of ​​investing in the movie "Crazy Stone".

Cao Jun said straight to the point: "Brother Hao, it doesn't matter whether I act in your movie or not. Let me tell you this, I want to invest in your movie. What do you think?"

Ning Hao asked him: "How much money do you want to invest?"

Cao Jun said: "Two million, if you think it is not enough, I can add more."

Ning Hao's mood was very complicated. He wanted to accept Cao Jun's investment, but he was worried that Andy Lau would not be able to accept it.

Fortunately, after Andy Lau learned the news, he did not object to Ning Hao accepting investment from others, because he himself felt that 3 million to make a movie was indeed a bit too little, so he agreed to the plan.

Ning Hao called and told Cao Jun: "Xiao Cao, Mr. Andy Lau has agreed. You can invest 2 million. There is no need to add more."

"However, I have my say first. I am the director of this movie. I have the final say on how I shoot it and who I choose to shoot it. You can't interfere with me."

Cao Jun was too lazy to interfere and said: "Don't worry, I will never interfere. You can take pictures of whoever you like!"
