After dinner, Sun Peng quietly grabbed his agent: "Second sister, from now to the end of the year... Well, I mean, how much money can I make before the Spring Festival? Is there an approximate figure?
"
"Uh, why are you asking this suddenly?"
Blinking her eyes, Sun Ya asked curiously.
Sun Peng has almost never cared about this kind of thing. He only reads the financial reports provided by accountants every three months. So he suddenly asked how much money he could earn, which surprised Sun Ya.
"Hey, of course I'm spending money to make a movie!"
Thinking of next year's new movie, Sun Peng is also very excited.
Isn't it that I have been writing songs, commercials, scripts, etc. with great motivation these days just to collect enough production fees for "Kill Bill"? Sun Peng has already calculated that the actors actually don't spend much money, but in other aspects
The effect depends on the investment. The more money you spend, the better the effect will be in the future - at least for a rookie director like him, this is unquestionable.
But before throwing money away, you should know how much you have earned.
Sun Peng has basically thrown away all the royalties and royalties accumulated in the past few years. DreamWorks is a big company, and Sun Peng spent countless funds on it before; "Frozen" is also a big company, and Five
The investment of tens of millions of dollars is frightening; compared to "Dragon Inn" and "Spirited Away" with an investment of hundreds of millions, the style is really nothing...
He knew his younger brother Sun Yana quite well and quickly understood what he meant.
But he earned the money, and Sun Peng is free to spend it how he wants. And Sun Ya, the agent, has long understood the truth, that is, you must never use your own brain to measure the genius's ideas, especially if you don't
Use the so-called success and failure to measure Sun Peng's decision!
So after thinking about it for a moment, Sun Ya quickly gave a figure: "It is expected that there will be some money to be paid into the account at the end of the year, mainly dividends from TV series and music... According to preliminary estimates, it will be tens of millions this year!
In addition, the last three volumes of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" will be published soon. Shuxiang Publishing House has now increased the first printing number to 2 million. In addition, the first four volumes will definitely be reprinted, which means 30 to 40 million...all added up
If so, over 100 million is no problem!”
Speaking of this total amount, Sun Ya was also a little surprised!
Although the end of the year is the date for the settlement of many projects, including record companies, "Criminal Minds", "Psych" and "Crazy Madam" which is still on demand, more than 100 million has been made within a month or two.
It’s still a bit too exaggerated! If you add the 40 million from Feiming Technology...
"Haha, great!"
There was no surprise on Sun Peng's face, only excitement: "The money for filming "Kill Bill" should be enough now! If it's not enough, wait for Feiming Technology's 40 million to arrive, and "Dragon Inn"
"is released, or the results of "Detective Di Renjie" should be almost there!"
"Ah? Are you going to throw them all in?"
Sun Ya was shocked when she heard what her brother said!
"Haha, be prepared!"
It is also difficult for Sun Peng to estimate how much money he will spend. However, unlike "Kill Bill" and "Dragon Inn", Sun Peng planned to enter overseas markets from the beginning, so this money cannot be saved...
…
I'm so busy, it's already December.
The formalities for the house have been completed, and the rest is left to the designer and decoration company to do the work. Because he was very satisfied with the decoration of the old house, Sun Peng invited the same person from last time - of course, the decoration company this time.
The protagonist is Zheng Jia, everything is done according to her wishes, and there is no upper limit on the budget.
Prior to this, the content and image setting of the new picture book had been finalized, and the two songs for Luo Cheng had also been written.
Then as Sun Peng handed over the final version of three songs including "Dream It Possible", the magically revised script of "Hold the Call", and the final signing of contracts between Lao Zhao's company and Feiming Technology, Forbidden City Pictures, Niu Yunsheng quickly
Someone transferred 40 million to Sun Peng's account - at least after the song, advertising plan and script passed the acceptance test, Sun Peng's work was indeed completed.
A big company is a big company, there are no thieves here, it's very happy.
At the same time, Sun Peng, the new album prepared for Chen Feifei, has not been left behind. Although due to the strong opposition of Feiming Technology Company, "Dream It Possible" will definitely be released for free in the future, and only Sun Peng can get it if it is used commercially.
Money, but the theme song "let it go" from "Frozen" can become the title song of the new album - this is what Americans hope for most, and of course.
As for the remaining nine songs, Sun Peng did not miss them either.
Two songs a week may be a bit exaggerated. After all, even if the efficiency of picking up music scores has improved rapidly recently, it is twice as fast as before. But now if Sun Peng is forced to concentrate on picking up music scores for a day... tsk tsk, it will really kill people!
But one song a week is still guaranteed.
It’s just that Sun Peng kept his progress secret like a thief. Not to mention Chen Feifei who kept asking questions, Zheng Jia, Liu Chang and other people around him didn’t tell him. While saying that creation is difficult, it’s difficult to create, he looked at the locked
I secretly amused myself with the music scores in the cabinet - it's not that he has any bad taste, it's just that if you make friends too quickly, you'll have more problems. It's better to do more than to do less...
“The most important task at the end of the year is publicity!”
Liu Chang was obviously very satisfied with Sun Peng's performance during this period. He held a small notebook and said: "According to the original plan, on December 12th, the next three parts of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" and the complete collection will be ordered.
It is now on the shelves. Shuxiang Publishing House hopes that you can continue to promote it on Weibo. At the same time...well, it would be best to hold two or three book signings in Beijing, Shanghai and other places..."
"Pass, I won't hold a book signing."
Sun Peng threw a grape into his mouth and said lazily.
This is not pretentious, after all, I have moved here, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about. But Sun Peng has never been interested in things like autographs - if you like it, you will buy it naturally, and if you don't like it, it doesn't matter if you buy it for the autograph.
?
Not interesting.
Liu Chang was not surprised by this. He nodded and continued: "The next is the New Year. On January 1st, "Detective Di Renjie" will become the new year's drama of Beijing Satellite TV. There will be two episodes every day from Monday to Thursday, and it will be broadcast in exactly four weeks...
...Beijing Satellite TV hopes that you can participate in two variety shows to promote it."
"Promoting the TV series..."
After hesitating for a moment, Sun Peng quickly shook his head and said: "Forget it, let the director and actors do it. The people behind the scenes like me can just hide behind the scenes! Ahem, Beijing Satellite TV should understand.
Don't worry about them."
This kind of request has been made many times, and Sun Peng has been able to refuse it smoothly.
"..."
After rolling his eyes, Liu Chang also closed his notebook helplessly and said: "The book signing will not be held, and you will not participate in Beijing TV's variety show, so the rest will be the promotion of "Dragon Inn"...your own
You won’t ignore the movie, right?”
"Haha, of course not!"
When Sun Peng mentioned his first movie, he immediately became energetic.
Lunar New Year movie, released on January 12th.
It was a bit early, but Sun Peng knew that the Forbidden City had done their best - after all, it was the real prime time later, and there were too many blockbusters released at the same time!
On the first day of the Lunar New Year alone, on February 15th, five blockbusters were released!
Not to mention that almost every film is packed with superstars and requires huge investment. Just a giant production called "The Battle of Changping" with a production cost of over 700 million is enough to scare Forbidden City Pictures from getting involved - just the fact that it can
There is no point in releasing it. They also guaranteed Sun Peng a film schedule. There is no point in getting together with a bunch of blockbusters.
January 12th is the right day.
Although there were two good movies released in the same period, they were still far behind compared to the first day of the new year, and there was more or less hope. Moreover, this time was just after New Year's Day, and there was still one month left before the Spring Festival. According to the past
From my experience, the box office is okay. If the film is of high quality, it will often come out as a dark horse...
"so……"
Facing Liu Chang's questioning look, Sun Peng hesitated for a while and then nodded: "Okay, I'll contact the leading actors later, and those who should be on the show will be on it. I can also consider it..."
