The three of them returned to the office after being exhausted, and the promotional activities stopped around the 10th. If they run around again and spend more money, the effect will not be so obvious. It is just like that, there is no need.
Running around all the time is not only physically tiring, but also mentally stressful, so you need to rest.
"Hey, Lao Liu," Xiang Yang leaned on the back of his chair with a relaxed expression: "Don't we have to give red envelopes or something for the time being?"
"Well, for sure, if the movie doesn't make money, it doesn't matter. The box office is quite good now. The red envelopes for the crew and the other actors are indispensable. The shooting period is short, but everyone spares no effort to promote it, and they have to show their appreciation." Liu Minghua
Opening the notebook: "How much is appropriate for these? I'll find out later."
"Don't be too stingy. Whatever you give us normally, it's okay if we add a little. Xiaobao, are you right?"
"Well, I was thinking," Qin Xiaobao held up his chin: "What will my brother and the King do? Although they are acting for free, they have paid so much, so there is no way they won't show any signs of it, right?"
"This is what you two bosses have decided. The later remuneration is not included in the investment, it is equivalent to sharing a part of the income between you two." Liu Minghua will not exceed his authority.
"That's what I think. The success of this movie has a lot to do with them. Without the two big guys joining in and their matchmaking, it's hard to say how much box office it would have had," Qin Xiaobao mainly explained to Xiang Yang.
"Actually, if you don't give me any money, it looks like you're making money on the surface, but in the long run, it's not a good thing. Actors are not gods. They can get by just by drinking a little dew. They also have to make ends meet. There are rumors that we Kiwis are stingy and like white people when filming.
The negative impression of prostitution is not worth the gain.”
Xiang Yang nodded and asked him to continue.
"Those two are not short of money. Other directors would have to go to great lengths to invite people to participate in their works. We are lucky enough to have this line, so we must maintain it well. Does it matter if my brother wants it? Whether we can give it or not is a big deal.
Something else."
"The etiquette is coming."
"That's right!" Qin Xiaobao snapped his fingers: "I also understand? Their salary for making a movie is about 30 million, but they can't do it all? How about? 15 million per person?"
Xiangyang was lost in thought? Xiaobao did not urge him.
To be honest, he felt very distressed. It was not 1,500 yuan, nor 15,000 yuan, but 15 million yuan!
How many things can I buy?
How many apartments in third-tier cities? How many luxury cars? The cost of traveling around the world is enough.
How is it possible for him to send it away without blinking an eye and pretending that it doesn't matter!
In two lifetimes combined? I have never seen so much money.
It’s not like horse dads are a drop in the bucket.
But it's also an investment.
People are working hard for your movie and running all over the country? When it comes time to reap the rewards, you don’t say a word. You are too stupid to do it.
It hurts, but you still have to do what you have to do.
This is not a contradiction.
As people often say, we all understand the principle, but it is difficult to do it.
120 million, after deducting employee share, the two bosses made a net profit of 50 million, which is nearly one-third in one sentence. Xiangyang definitely needs to consider it.
Liu Minghua was sitting quietly on the side. This was not something he could participate in. It would be unwise to speak rashly.
After a long while, Xiangyang clicked his fingers: "Okay, I'll do as you say. If it weren't for the two big guys, we wouldn't have this income. We might still have the opportunity to work with you in the future.
When they cooperate, they should not just look at small profits, but also look to the future."
"Hahaha, just figure it out." Xiaobao nodded: "The other actors should just round up the whole number and give each person a red envelope of 880,000, and show it to the outside world. Although Kiwi is small, he is very powerful."
Thirty million has been removed, and I don’t care how many more millions there are.
"I'll give you two million of my money." Xiang Yang suddenly said.
"Why?"
"Your director's fees are not included!"
"Ouch, what's the matter?"
"This must be calculated!" It was Liu Minghua who spoke: "This is to set your net worth, because we are wholly-owned, you are both an investor and a director, and we did not mention the director's remuneration at the beginning.
In the future, there will definitely be movies coming to our door, so it’s right for Mr. Xiang to set standards in advance, otherwise there will be no chaos.”
"I see." Qin Xiaobao understood: "Is two million too high?"
"Before filming, there might have been some controversy, but now it's a box office hit and it's already convincing. Two million is not that high."
"Then just give half."
"To be precise, we have to use part of our income." Liu Minghua added.
"Forget it, what I just said has been said. It's too unkind to deduct points now." Xiang Yang refused directly: "It's easier for us to make money. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, why don't everyone be happy."
"Then I'll thank the two bosses for them." Liu Minghua said with a smile.
"This matter is settled," Xiang Yang no longer hesitated: "It won't be too much to send out a press release then."
"Fat, you must let everyone know that you have spent money. There is no need to hide it." Qin Xiaobao agreed.
"Yes, your wish to buy a villa has come to nothing. Thirty million is definitely not enough." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"Mr. Qin wants to buy a house?" Liu Minghua raised his head and asked.
"I have this idea, but it's not a villa. Don't listen to his nonsense." Xiaobao sighed: "House prices are too high. I can only say that the really rich people are the aborigines who own houses, including aunties and uncles.
Multimillionaire."
"That's right. If Director Qin has any ideas, I can help him take a look."
"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you." Qin Xiaobao definitely didn't have time himself: "It's almost enough, no need to be too exaggerated."
"I'll look around later and choose a few sets for you to choose from."
"Well," Qin Xiaobao looked outside: "Where are Sister Linghua and the others?"
"I'm busy outside. It's the end of the year, isn't it? There are so many business performances."
"Yeah, it's a good thing. Wang Bingbing didn't see anyone either." Qin Xiaobao unconsciously thought of the little girl: "I heard a few days ago that no agent has been arranged yet?"
"Oh, yes," Liu Minghua said without changing his expression, "I was very busy a while ago. I just gave myself a holiday and was moving."
"Where to move?" Xiang Yang asked on his behalf.
"She is from the north. She didn't bring anything with her when she came here. She stayed in a hotel. She seemed to have flown home the day before yesterday and planned to bring some gifts. The company rented a place for her, a single apartment in a high-end community, which was pretty good.
Yes, you can rest assured."
Qin Xiaobao didn't hear what he said. No wonder the young lady sent him a WeChat message the night before yesterday to see him in a few days. He was busy at the time and didn't understand.
"She won't attend the online celebration party that night?"
"She's not part of the crew, so it's normal if she doesn't participate," Liu Minghua joked.
"No, after all, you have run so many promotional activities with us, and you deserve all the credit for your hard work. Besides, he is our artist, so shouldn't he appear more often?" Xiaobao didn't know why he explained there.
"That's it. She'll be back in the afternoon. Without further delay, she will be the host for the evening."
Qin Xiaobao stopped talking. The big dog was looking at him with questionable eyes.
"Well, there is one more thing. Mango TV has officially sent an invitation. I hope you will participate in the recording of "Two Days and One Night". Do you think you can make arrangements before going to Berlin?"
"Hey..." Qin Xiaobao rubbed his temples and frowned: "I know, Teacher He and Teacher Sa also called. I really don't want to go.
They felt they had been cheated and insisted on dragging me to experience it."
"Is it that scary?" Xiang Yang wasn't sure.
"Sleeping outside in the winter, think about it." Xiaobao was annoyed.
"You can't shirk it. The two teachers refused Xu Zheng to come to our premiere. They owe you a lot of favors. Besides, "Two Days and One Night" was also your idea."
"That's why I'm so confused. If I knew I was going, I don't know what kind of things I would prepare!"
"Anyway, if you want to see your brother tonight, why don't you ask him what he wants? With big names here, I guess the program team won't dare to go too far."
"Hey, that's a good idea. Let me call and ask."
(Thanks to Brother Nan for a reward of 10,000 yuan, the boss will be healthy and the boss will get rich!)
