Chapter 73 Chen Feng: Write this song for him, give it to me
What Han Zhou said was so mysterious that it frightened Lin Xiaoxing.
At half past eleven in the evening, Lin Xiaoxing's nanny car appeared downstairs at Tianle.
In a skewers shop, Lin Xiaoxing: "You scared me to death."
Who would have thought that Lin Xiaoxing, who is good at love songs and always a handsome young man... and now has a graceful middle-aged image, would say this.
After Han Zhou finished describing it, Lin Xiaoxing breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Lin Xiaoxing told Han Zhou the truth.
"That's my nephew."
Han Zhou was stunned.
My nephew and uncle look alike, which is... normal.
However, what happened when my nephew sprayed his uncle in the bar?
"Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite." Lin Xiaoxing talked about his family's affairs.
Han Zhou was stunned for a while after hearing this.
It sounds simple.
Life in this world is nothing more than money.
About twenty-five years ago, Lin Xiaoxing was eighteen years old and his eldest brother was twenty-three.
This year, their father died.
So, the two brothers took all their family property from Guangfu to Yanjing.
All the family property was used to open a hotel.
Then, the hotel suffered losses until it burst.
Twenty-five years ago in this world was 97 years, which is equivalent to about 92 years in the previous life.
At that time, opening a hotel seemed to be a very glamorous investment that was about to enter the upper class world.
However, it is not that easy to do in any industry.
At first, Lin Xiaoxing was a fun-loving person and did not care about management.
And his eldest brother is not in charge of this material.
Therefore, the hotel suffered a loss.
"If you had used that money to buy a courtyard house in Yanjing." Han Zhou said, "Now you two brothers can just lie down and count the money."
Lin Xiaoxing smiled awkwardly: "Is it a stabbing?"
Later it became more bloody.
When the two brothers were in despair and were about to leave the capital, they met a girl who was still studying in Yanjing.
This girl was once in the entertainment industry. She was a young girl in the entertainment industry, filmed TV series, and became popular in two TV series. The older generation in this world still misses that face.
Two brothers compete, who wins?
Of course, the considerate elder brother won.
Lin Xiaoxing lost.
That time was already twenty years ago, and Lin Xiaoxing was already twenty-three.
He was caught and beaten violently in the Love Shopping Mall.
So, he went south to the Taiwan Strait.
Although there is no such thing as two sides, three places in the world, the Taiwan Strait at that time was more open due to its geographical location and environment, and the entertainment industry was already very popular.
It was at that time that Lin Xiaoxing was spotted by the older generation record king Duhai, with the purpose of training him to become the king of love songs.
Of course, one move was missing and the move failed.
However, Lin Xiaoxing also succeeded, to such an extent that most passers-by and fans thought Lin Xiaoxing was from Taiwan.
Times have changed, and Lin Xiaoxing and his eldest brother may have... a bit of hatred.
Of course, the older generation doesn't attach much importance to this.
I won't say it out loud.
But Lin Jianqiu was different.
Lin Jianqiu has known that the glamorous Lin Xiaoxing is his uncle since he was a child.
When he was growing up, it was when Lin Xiaoxing was most popular. On campus, students could be heard listening to Lin Xiaoxing's songs everywhere.
When Lin saw Qiu, he was very dissatisfied with this uncle.
Generally speaking, he thought that Lin Xiaoxing looked down on his poor relatives.
It's really hard to tell about genes. An uncle can sing, and a mother can act but quits acting.
Lin Jianqiu has this talent, and now step by step, Lin Jianqiu has reached this step.
The process was not complicated and Han Zhou understood it.
"So, those sad songs of yours were sung for your sister-in-law?" Han Zhou asked.
Lin Xiaoxing glared at Han Zhou: "Don't talk nonsense..."
Han Zhou understood that if there was a chance to film Ashes of Time, he would definitely let Lin Xiaoxing play Ouyang Feng.
Han Zhou finally understood: "Okay, Lin Jianqiu is your nephew, right? I understand."
Lin Xiaoxing: "Now...he has signed with your company?"
Han Zhou nodded.
Lin Xiaoxing hesitated for a moment and sighed: "Then you have to take care of me."
Han Zhou: "Of course I will take care of my people, and I promised his mother that I will not cheat him. As for whether he can continue in this circle, it depends on himself."
Lin Xiaoxing took a sip of wine: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. When will you write a song for me? I've already sent you the money."
"Did you call me?"
Han Zhou took out a pen and paper from his trouser pocket: "Write, write now."
Lin Xiaoxing watched Han Zhou write the song, looked at the score, and looked at the lyrics: "This... can a human sing it?"
"How can you sing such fast words without rhyme?"
Han Zhou raised his head and said, "It doesn't rhyme? No, right? When you left home when you were young, you completely forgot Cantonese vernacular?"
"Vernacular song?!" Lin Xiaoxing looked again and had an impression in his mind: "Eh..."
"Is this... a love song?"
Han Zhou tapped the tip of his pen on the table: "I advise you to save it. You are not young anymore, and you still want to be the king of love songs."
"Chung Ce Yong from Universal China also sings love songs. With him as the King of Love Songs, you will never be able to become the King of Love Songs in your life."
"Change your thinking, how about the King of Vernacular?"
"The King of Vernacular...sounds unlucky..."
Han Zhou joked: "Then let's call him the King of Guangdong? The King of Lingnan? You can be called whatever you like, but you don't care what the fans call you? You are the king of singers because you were crowned yourself?"
Han Zhou has finished writing the song: "This is for you. This song is definitely worth more than a million."
"Even if you sing and no fans buy it, you can use it to find a TV series in Guangfu and sell the film and television copyright royalties to get your money back... I still have money, hahahahaha."
Lin Xiaoxing looked at the title of the song: ""The Hard-to-Recite Sutra"..."
"Have you ever thought that I am already forty-three? Singing this...will kill me?!"
Han Zhou: "Then I don't care, I just write, not sing."
No matter whether they are killed or buried.
Lin Xiaoxing took a deep breath: "Okay, I'll try."
After drinking a lot of wine, Lin Xiao walked out of Chuan'er shop and smiled: "Boy, do you really think I can't sing when I'm old? I'm sure to win this song!"
Soon, Lin Xiaoxing posted the score to a small group.
After a while, Chen Feng@Hanzhou in the small group said: "You wrote "The Hard Sutra" for him and "Hurry Up the Train" for me?"
Liu Yiling: "This matter can't be settled, right?"
Chen Feng: "Sneer/jpg"
"You don't know, the company recently gave me a job to sing a movie episode. Guess who wrote it?"
Liu Yiling: "..."
"Han Zhou?!"
Chen Feng: "People said that the creator asked me, Chen Feng, to sing by name."
"Writing that song, the name of the song is "Monkey Playing"."
Liu Yiling laughed out loud after watching it, shaking and typing: "Hahahahahahaha, playing monkey? "Playing with Chen Feng", right?"
Chen Feng gritted his teeth and said: "Director Ma, I signed! The contract! The contract! After! I said, this song can fill the gap in the funeral industry that does not have rock soundtracks."
"I have to be the one to take care of such a big thing in the rock industry..."
Lin Xiaoxing: "Isn't this... quite appropriate?"
"Don't you have to fight for your rock career your whole life? It's time to blaze a trail, are you scared?"
Han Zhou peeked into the screen.
Liu Yiling sent a red envelope: "Don't be angry, Han Zhou is still young and can write many more songs in the future. I will write a song for you in the future that is suitable for large-scale promotion."
Han Zhou grabbed the red envelope in seconds.
"Huh? Only one copy?"
Chen Feng's mentality collapsed: "You piece of shit, you still want to steal my red envelope?!!!"
Han Zhou: "Oh, I drank too much with Brother Lin, and I'm a little dizzy. I can't see what you said. I have a headache, so I ran away."
Chen Feng was furious: "You fart, Lin Xiaoxing drank to death, and you don't even faint. Do you think it's the first day I met you, Han Zhou?!"
Lin Xiaoxing: "???"
"Subway, old man, mobile phone/jpg"
Han Zhou really escaped.
Because An Lan called.
"Hey, don't you come over and sleep?"
Han Zhou: "I have something to do tomorrow, so I'll just find a place to rest here in Tianle today."
An Lan: "Then will you come over tomorrow to record "Love the Country, Love the Beauty More"? I'm going to take half a day off tomorrow."
Han Zhou: "How many classes did you take at Yangzhou Opera throughout the year? Did you ask for leave again? I'll just record songs at Tianle. I signed a new person today, and I'll give him a good education tomorrow."
An Lan: "Okay..."
…
Han Zhou returned to Tianle and went all the way to the floor of Wang Xiya's office.
The lights were on in the office, and Han Zhou knocked on the door.
Wang Xiya: "Who is it? Come in."
Han Zhou opened the door and walked in.
Wang Xiya was pressing the calculator at this time.
"Return to zero, return to zero~"
"17,32,23, plus 127182..."
Han Zhou: "What is it?"
"Box office." Wang Xiya looked up and saw Han Zhou: "Now the box office of "Hello Mr. Tree" has dropped to six figures, and will soon drop to five figures."
Dropping to five digits means that it will be released in almost all theaters.
Han Zhou was curious: "How much is it?"
Wang Xiya: "Twenty-nine million, I guess in the end...31 million."
"It seems that An Lan and your fans have a good fighting spirit. If this movie is promoted normally, it will have a box office of three to four million at most."
"Three to four million is not bad." Han Zhou stepped forward and asked, "Why do you always have no chairs in your office?"
Wang Xiya stood up: "Sit here."
He said and stretched.
Because it was heated indoors and she didn't wear much, her sexy waist was definitely highlighted by this action.
Han Zhou sat on the boss's swivel chair and looked at the computer. The real-time box office website was on: "You just study this all day long?"
This movie is nothing to Tianle.
Wang Xiya: "Go to the next level. A movie with 30 million yuan is better than a movie with 20 million yuan."
With that said, Wang Xiya sat on the desk, holding the edge of the table with both hands and swinging her calves.
"According to my opinion, with a box office of 30 million, plus nominations and even awards at at least five film festivals at home and abroad, this movie can be considered an epic success."
Han Zhou nodded: "Indeed, although I didn't make any money, I made a name for myself."
How much money did Tianle spend on this? Mailang and Universal also promoted it wildly. Many things in it cannot be calculated as costs, but in fact they all have hidden costs.
In fact, this movie lost money at the box office.
However, this is not the case after the calculation is done. After the calculation is done, it will be a big profit.
Of course, if you make a lot of money, you have to pay taxes, so whether or not hidden costs should be accounted for depends on whether Tianle is willing to give up a little more.
As long as you are willing to lose money, you can spend another 10 million to buy a box office, or you can lose 6 million to get in, that's fine.
Wang Xiya: "I didn't keep an eye on it, but it's almost twelve o'clock. Let's do the math."
At this point, Wang Xiya interrupted: "I heard that you caught some Tianle trainees in the bar today?"
Han Zhou nodded: "A few little girls sneaked out to play, and I met them."
Wang Xiya narrowed her eyes slightly and hummed: "It seems it's time to set some rules."
You know, in Bang Country or Sakura Country, trainees have a very miserable life and the rules are very strict. Sneaking out to play? Don't even think about it.
Han Zhou skillfully searched on the computer: "I decided to expand the company's staff. In addition to artists, I now need at least three assistants."
"He helps me with business matters."
"One helps me organize my creative materials."
"There is another person who wants to help me connect with people and things in the entertainment industry."
"Look at this structure, what positions do I still need to recruit for now?"
Wang Xiya knows this clearly: "The first is logistics, which is divided into human resources, front desk, and procurement."
"human Resources……"
Wang Xiya said it again, Han Zhou had a big head.
It means that there is only one person, plus an assistant director and a photographer. The company actually needs to support more than 60 people to form the infrastructure of the entertainment company?!
Ma De worked in a software company in his previous life. The software company with an output value of hundreds of millions only had a hundred employees.
Han Zhou was a little stressed.
This person No. 60 is still a must-choice.
If we recruit on a maximum scale, we will need nearly 110 people.
Even if the average salary plus all personnel expenses are 6,000 per person per month, the monthly cost is 660,000.
And if it is put into operation, according to Wang Xiya, the average commercial operating funds corresponding to an average employee will be at least 7,000 a month.
Including business trip subsidies, business activity reimbursement, material consumption, etc.
Regardless of whether the business is settled or not, when you open an entertainment company, you have to spend so much money.
In other words, I now need to sell out 1.5 million yuan a month.
That's 17 million a year...
No wonder other celebrities only open studios and not companies.
Who the hell can withstand this?!
Moreover, if the company's book performance is good, will there be a bonus at the end of the year?
The benefits are good, should we expand the scale?
For example, if an artist like Wang Chuyang is successfully promoted and becomes famous above the third tier, he will need a team of at least five people.
If it reaches the second line, twenty people will be needed for one person to do logistics.
This kind of thing is not bad, it is a kind of visible profit, and the income and expenditure are easy to calculate.
What if there was another assistant director like Zhang Jiuquan?
What if Zhang Jiuquan is recommended to be the director in the future?
A yearly investment of at least tens of millions is the basis. If the investment is too much, there will be no support.
If a photographer like Chen Xiaoyong wants to consider long-term training, he needs a fixed team.
The annual expenditure is at least five million.
If you take into account other teams involved in making movies, such as poaching Enchanting Teacher and setting up a styling design department, the amount of money invested per year would be at least 30 million.
Of course, this includes the business performances of Fu Hua Dao and its artists, the rental of dresses, fashion and jewelry for party outfits, etc.
Who can afford this expense? When I read novels in the past, others didn’t write like this! Why are there so many people waiting to eat in the company?!
Han Zhou: "Why don't you pay for the acquisition of New World?"
Wang Xiya: "Why should I acquire your leather bag company?"
Han Zhou: "..."
Wang Xiya continued to talk about the other expenses of entertainment companies.
After finishing speaking, Han Zhou's eyes darkened.
Han Zhou was very anxious, anxious for the king, anxious, urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent: "Have you made the publicity plan for "He is a Dragon"!? How much percentage do you want?"
Wang Xiya: "We need at least 60% to be able to do it."
Han Zhou: "Let me take a look."
After reading the plan, Han Zhou reviewed the plan and said, "Give me an extra five million and transfer it to New World's account to operate on the short video platform. With this condition, I'll give you 60%, and I want 40% of the profit."
"Hurry up and push it, we must let it go to theaters during the Spring Festival!"
I originally thought that the extremely low-cost "This Man Is From Earth" would bring huge returns, which would be enough to keep me happy for a few years.
I didn't expect it, it was just bullshit.
Even if you make hundreds of millions! You can still cover the expenses of a small-scale entertainment company for one year, and the development plan is almost to maintain the minimum investment in development efficiency!
What's more, it's impossible for this movie to make hundreds of millions.
No wonder the middle-aged and elderly managers of Liu Jianxi and other entertainment companies I see are all bald. Who else is bald?
Every day when you open your eyes, the boss owes the company over three million yuan. Who can withstand this?
Unless the company never develops, it will remain the current status of three people!
But Han Zhou must build this company!
In the new world, no matter how difficult it is, we must do it!

The preparation is almost done, and all the lines before and after putting it on the shelf should be integrated.
Double updates will resume tomorrow and will be available on February 1st.
