Chapter 20 Exploring the class "Han Zhu Gege"

Whether it's a popular radio station or a hot single, it's too far from real life, and it doesn't give Cao Xuan any intuitive feeling.

Until one day when Cao Xuan came home at night, he heard "1 Reasons" playing from the loudspeaker in front of the courtyard.

A junior high school student from a neighboring household in the yard held a pirated tape with his photo on it, and coyly asked for his autograph.

Cao Xuan finally realized that his song was really popular.

After teaching junior high school students about copyright awareness, Cao Xuan took out a genuine CD, signed the package, and gave it to his first fan.

When the junior high school students left happily holding the CD, Cao Xuan thought for a while.

Beautiful!
However, what made Cao Xuan even more happy was that "1 Reasons" began to slowly spread to other provinces from Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei from north to south through CNR.

Lanqi's distribution channels obviously can't extend so far, and besides the shortage of supply, Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei are still struggling, let alone other provinces.

At a critical moment, Beijing Printing and Publishing House offered an olive branch, and they were willing to spend 150 million yuan to take over the national album production and distribution rights of "1 Reasons".

This price is not low, and it is only the production and distribution rights, and the copyright of the song is still in the hands of Lan Qi and Cao Xuan.

But Cao Xuan and Jiang Yue are not short-sighted people. "1 Reasons" has shown extraordinary potential. In less than half a month, the sales volume in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei exceeded 5+.

This can be crowned with the title of [Platinum Album] in Taiwan Province.

Of course, due to the large population base in the mainland, it cannot be generalized, and the price of "1 Reasons" is much cheaper than the regular album, and the gold content is slightly watery.

But even so, the sales volume of 5+ should not be underestimated. If it is expanded to the whole country, it can at least double.

And because "1 Reasons" has become famous and popular, the price of the album can also be increased appropriately, and the profit from it cannot be paid off with 150 million.

After discussion, Cao Xuan and Jiang Yue, their husband and wife, asked Beijing Publishing House for 300 million.

This price is obviously not acceptable to Beijing Publishing House.

Now that "1 Reasons" has spread, pirates have entered the market one after another, and the album's best sales bonus has passed half.

The plan of Jingcheng Publishing House is to rely on its strong nationwide channel distribution capabilities, and in the remaining half of the bonus time, to grab as many bites of meat as possible before the pirates.

But how much meat can be grabbed, no one can say.

In addition, the production of a large number of albums and the use of national channels will also cost a lot of money. If the copyright is given up to 300 million, I don’t know if it can be recovered.

If one wants more, the other wants less, then negotiate.

Jiang Yue is a good player, and Cao Xuan has accumulated experience after several training sessions. The children of Han Qi's courtyard are usually a little lazy, but they can still take advantage of them when they are serious.

The three cooperated with each other, talked with representatives of Beijing Publishing House for an afternoon, and finally finalized the contract.

The distribution rights of the album "1 Reasons" were sold and packaged and sold to Beijing Printing and Publishing House for a price of 210 million.

This money belongs to copyright sales, and Cao Xuan accounts for 70%. After deducting and paying taxes, he can get more than 130 million yuan.

Moreover, when Lan Qi's younger brother's albums were sold in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei before, he still had 30% of the dividends, and the money was not much, but also tens of thousands of yuan.

I have the money to buy a courtyard house!

.........

Although he is already a "big" rich man with a net worth of one million yuan, Cao Xuan still rents and lives in a rental house. The only change is to add a mobile phone and a mountain bike to himself.

There is no way, although the money is made, most of it has not been received, and he only has a deposit of tens of thousands of yuan.

Cao Xuan just wanted to splurge, but he didn't have that condition.

Riding the newly bought mountain bike, Cao Xuan's first thing was to take a trip to Prince Gong's mansion to visit Mrs. Li Mingqi's class from the crew of "Han Zhu Gege".

After Xin Wu returned to Beijing, Cao Xuan once visited the old lady's house, and the old lady specially prepared a table for him to entertain him.

Later, the old lady called him to go home when he had nothing to do. This time I heard that the old lady was filming in Prince Gong's mansion, so she came to visit the class.

Of course, in addition to visiting the cast, the main Cao Xuan also wanted to meet the crew of "Han Zhu Ge Ge", the "all villains".

It was not easy to visit the class empty-handed, so Cao Xuan went to buy more than a dozen watermelons and two boxes of mineral water to fill the appearance of the old lady.

Coincidentally, when Cao Xuan arrived on the set, he happened to catch up with the old lady who was out of the show. When Cao Xuan came over, he was so happy that he held his hand and didn't let it go.

Cao Xuan found a field manager, drank the watermelon and mineral spring, and looked at the other leading actors of "Han Zhu Gege" at the same time.

Zhao Wei, who has just finished his freshman year, is invincible in youth and is at the peak of his appearance.

Lin Xinru is soft and timid, the real person is a bit dark, not as photogenic as in the camera.

The most surprising thing is Fan Bingbing, the [-] million-year-old sister who is famous for her beauty, has not grown up yet, and she really looks like a little maid behind Zhao and Lin.

The two of the Little Tigers didn't say much, but it was Zhou Jie, who had been hacked for more than ten years, and Cao Xuan took a few extra glances.

The nostrils are quite large...

Cao Xuan didn't have the idea of ​​dealing with these few, and satisfied his curiosity, he chatted with the old lady.

Speaking of which, Cao Xuan actually had the opportunity to join the cast of "Han Zhu Gege". The old lady missed him and recommended him to the director to see if he could play a role.

However, several leading roles were decided at that time, and Cao Xuan could only play the little eunuch next to Xiao Yanzi.

Cao Xuan didn't dislike this role, but the director saw his photos and felt that Cao Xuan was too handsome and could easily steal the protagonist's limelight, so he rejected it.

In addition, Cao Xuan was busy releasing singles at that time, and he was not very enthusiastic about this matter, so he finally let it go.

The old lady always felt sorry for this, but Cao Xuan didn't feel anything.

To be honest, he didn't really catch Qiong Yao's drama.

Cao Xuan clearly remembers that when he first came to the capital, he was moving bricks at the construction site. The contractor bought a black and white TV and put it in the shed, and a group of people watched it every night.

At that time, "Shuiyunjian" was very popular in the mainland, and the workers chased it every day, and Cao Xuan also watched it with joy.

Then it became more and more awkward, especially Chen Hong's famous scene where several men took over at the same time, which refreshed Cao Xuan's three views.

This TM is a line that a normal person can think of...

Since then, regardless of how popular Qiong Yao's dramas were, Cao Xuan didn't watch them, for fear of being led astray.

Cao Xuan stayed in the crew until the afternoon before leaving. During this period, apart from chatting a few words with Dai Chunrong, who played the queen, the rest of the actors did not have any communication.

.........

What he didn't know was that Fan Bingbing and Zhao Wei came over as soon as he left the front corner and asked curiously.

"Mr. Li, who was that person just now?"

Although "Han Zhu Ge Ge" is a Qiong Yao drama, it is Qiong Yao's transformational work and has not received much attention.

Usually there is not much opportunity to contact new faces, and it is rare for someone to come to visit the class, and everyone is a little curious.

Although these "Han Zhu Gege" starred in later generations are notorious, but now they have just entered the film and television industry, they have not yet been fully affected by the fame and fortune of the entertainment industry.

"His name is Cao Xuan. He is one of my close juniors. If you are free today, come and see me."

"Cao Xuan, the one who almost played the little stool."

Zhao Wei was a little impressed by the name. After all, it is rare for actors to be passed because of their good looks, so it's hard not to be impressive.

Fan Bingbing also felt that the name Cao Xuan was familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he heard it.

Until the next morning, when the actors were going to film in the car, Fan Bingbing finally remembered who Cao Xuan was when "1 Reasons" was played on the car radio.

Soon, "Huanzhugege" spread all over the world, and the actor who was abandoned at the beginning became a popular singer.

Qiong Yao's daughter-in-law, He Qiong, the producer of "Han Zhu Gege", regrets it.
