Li Qing counted all his assets and found that although he looked quite wealthy on the surface, in fact, after doubling his pockets, he had almost no remaining funds.
First of all, the various derivative copyrights of the novel "Looking for Qin" have been bought out by China Film Group. Although the price is as high as tens of millions, the subsequent benefits have nothing to do with Li Qing within ten years.
Secondly, there is the "Qinglian Sword Fairy" music cassette released by Shengshi Audio and Video.
Since the cassette was released in May, sales exceeded one million boxes that month.
Based on the price of five yuan per box, the monthly sales of the cartridges exceeded five million yuan.
In the following three months, the cassette sales area expanded overseas.
After three months of sales, the "Green Lotus Sword Fairy" music cassette has now sold nearly four million boxes across Asia.
Although sales have become increasingly sluggish since then, and a large part of the overseas revenue sharing has been exploited by local distributors, but even so, as of now, Li Qing's income from the cartridge sharing has exceeded 6 million yuan
From these two items alone, Li Qing's income is 16 million.
Later, there were the advertising songs "I Believe" sold to Chiron Clothing, "Believe in Myself" by Coca-Cola Company, and the film and television song "Rolling Bead Curtain" for Hua Rong's new movie "Hua Xiang Rong"...
These three songs each made Li Qing a profit of one million.
Adding in the 4 million production fee for "The King of Masked Singer", Li Qing's assets exceed 20 million.
Then came the unexpected surprise on the mobile side, the 11 million royalties derived from the ring tones business.
Finally, there is the Chiron clothing endorsement contract that was just re-drafted not long ago, and the "Extraordinary Coke" endorsement contract for Feitian Company. The two contracts total 15 million yuan.
In other words, as of today, Li Qing's total assets are approximately 49 million yuan.
However, high income means high taxes.
Although the income from the "Green Lotus Sword Fairy" cassette is calculated based on tax, even so, Li Qing still needs to pay 20% of his other income, which is nearly 10 million in labor tax.
In other words, Li Qing's total income in a year is only worth 40 million.
If we throw away the house purchase and decoration, charity donations and the two million interest-free loan from the bank for Hanhai Studio...
Li Qing's current savings amount is probably over 30 million.
In addition, miscellaneous amounts such as the Blue Moon Bar, the follow-up income sharing of Bao Yunyun's "Heavy Rain Pear Blossom" album, and the payment of employee salaries are all relatively small income and expenses, which have a negative impact on Li Qing's approximate savings.
Not much impact.
Of course, if you include the 100 million loan from the bank to buy the land in Caomiao Village, Li Qing can be said to have negative equity now.
However, this situation is slightly special and does not essentially affect Li Qing's current quality of life. He can also rent a large office building for the new company's headquarters, but various decorations and purchases will make Li Qing's savings increase rapidly.
decline.
This is a phenomenon that is quite painful for Li Qing.
“You have to work hard to make money!”
In Hanhai Studio, Li Qing was sitting at his desk, holding his chin with one hand and writing and drawing on the draft paper in front of him with the other hand.
The scratch paper in front of me is a list of songs selected for the release of the new album in two months.
An album can contain fifteen songs. In addition to the three songs that have been planned, "Glory", "Meet Again", and "The Love of a Lifetime", Li Qing can be said to have racked his brains for the other twelve songs.
After countless days and nights, I finally wrote the result after careful consideration.
There are lyrical songs such as "Dusk" and "Just Like Your Tenderness", as well as ballads such as "Love in the Wind" and "When You Are Old". Of course, there are also specially written Cantonese songs "Qian Qian Que Song" and "Really Love You"
etc.
It can be said that Li Qing's first album continues his previous writing attitude, with different styles, and can be called a hodgepodge.
Every song is a super hit song that can stand on its own.
Even though it spans two spaces, even if some songs are from different eras, Li Qing still believes that music not only has no borders, but it can also span the distance of time and be loved by people of this era.
After deciding on the song type, Li Qing began to record a new album for the Universal Music branch in Hong Kong.
But before that, Li Qing has to write a suitable film and television song for Cui Zhiye's new movie "Love Words".
And considering the audience of the movie, this song has to be a Cantonese song.
Li Qing felt a toothache when he thought of the outline of the script for the movie "Love Words".
Making a movie with a cheating plot can certainly attract attention, but it is also a test of human nature. It has a high chance of winning awards, but the chance of a box office failure is even greater.
First of all, we have to filter out a large number of minors based on the subject matter.
Secondly, in Li Qing's opinion, the plot of "Love Words" is a bit boring. Without that connotation and experience, it is impossible to really enjoy watching such a movie.
But people just like to shoot this. Li Qing is neither a director nor an investor, so naturally he can't influence what they do.
Li Qing thought to himself while opening a new piece of draft paper.
He was thinking about the final ending of "Love Words" and the key words "cheating with a third party". Then, he raised his hand and began to quickly write down a lyric on the paper with a serious look on his face.
"Open your eyes and dream
I ask you, what is the use of sending me home?
Although she knows you
Silently loyal to you
Seeing you hiding your ring makes me feel heavy..."
When the lyrics were finished, Li Qing started composing the music without stopping.
Finally, two hours later, the song "Angkor Wat" was completely finalized by Li Qing.
He carefully checked for any omissions, and when he was sure that the entire song was perfect, Li Qing sent it to Cui Zhiye's fax address.
At the same time, a film production company in Hong Kong.
Cui Zhiye was chatting in a quiet lounge with a middle-aged man wearing myopic glasses, a slight beard on his face, and a literary atmosphere.
Suddenly he noticed his cell phone vibrating in his pocket. After smiling apologetically to the middle-aged man, Cui Zhiye stood up, picked up the cell phone, and walked out.
"What's wrong?" Cui Zhiye asked after the call was connected.
"There is a fax from the mainland...it seems to be a song. Would you like to come back and have a look?" a woman asked on the phone.
A song?
When Cui Zhiye heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "It's not convenient for me to go back now, but I can give you a fax address. You can send this song over and I'll have a look."
After hanging up the phone, Cui Zhiye quickly returned to the lounge and said to the middle-aged man with a smile on his face: "Li Qing's song has been written!"
"Real or false? He's not kidding, right? How many days have it been?" the middle-aged man said in surprise.
Cui Zhiye said with a smile: "He won't destroy his own sign, right? Don't worry, two million is not worth letting him offend you and me. How about it? Director Wang, let's go and see it together?"
The middle-aged man is the famous director Wang Jiachen.
He seemed to be very interested in Li Qing, so he nodded and stood up, heading to the company's fax room with Cui Zhiye.
Along the way, the news spread rapidly.
Soon, the relevant staff of the "Love Story" crew, as long as they had time, came to the fax room to wait for Li Qing's "authentic work".
At the same time, a Hong Kong female singer named Hua Yingying rushed to the scene from other places after receiving a call from Director Wang——
