Huayu started from the fairy sword

Chapter 118 "The Promise" is released, Cao Jun is busy counting money and casting new films!

Strictly speaking, what Zeng left was not a teahouse, but a vegetarian restaurant. The environment of the store is quiet and full of green plants, which is a paradise for vegetarians to cultivate their health.

All customers who eat vegetarian meals in the teahouse can drink various grades of Pu'er tea for free, and the teahouse does not charge a cent for tea.

Regarding this, Cao Jun doubted whether Zeng Li's vegetarian restaurant could last for a long time, because the profit was really not high.

Zeng Li didn't care, she didn't open the shop to make money, she just wanted to drive or influence more people to become vegetarians.

Cao Jun didn't know much about vegetarian food, so he asked Zeng Li, "If you eat vegetarian every day, don't you feel dizzy, weak, or malnourished?"

Zeng Li denied: "No, I went for a physical examination two days ago. Some people worry that vegetarians will suffer from calcium deficiency and osteoporosis, but I have tested it."

"I think the recovery ability of vegetarians may be faster than that of people on a normal diet, because plants are inherently sustainable, and this self-growth ability may be stronger."

Zeng Li is considered a professional when it comes to vegetarian food and tea tasting.

Fortunately, Zeng Li likes vegetarian food. She didn't force the people around her to be like her, but respected everyone's way of life.

For example, Cao Jun is a carnivore, and Zeng Li didn't care whether he was a vegetarian or not. This is what Cao Jun is more satisfied with.

The only bad thing was that when Cao Jun wanted to find someone to go out to eat delicious food and spicy food together, Zeng Li always refused to go, because he couldn't get a piece of food if he went, which was rather disappointing.

That afternoon, Ryefield Music Company.

Cao Jun personally directed Zeng Li to record the song "New Drunken Concubine" in the recording studio.

This is Cao Jun's first time as a song producer since his debut. Every time he recorded a song before, he asked Gao Xiaosong, Zhang Yadong and others to be responsible for the production guidance.

As an amateur singer, Zeng Li never doubted the level of Cao Jun's production.

Seeing Cao Jun wearing headphones, with an authoritative and serious expression on his face, which seemed to be the case, Zeng Li became even more convinced of Cao Jun's production skills.

"Love and hate are in an instant
Raising a glass to the moon

love and hate

ask when you fall in love

Chrysanthemum Terrace Reflection Bright Moon
Who knows that my love is cold

......"

After the 10th recording, Cao Jun took off his earphones and praised: "Well, it's ok, this time I sang very well."

Zeng Li was not satisfied. She felt that she still had room for improvement and could perform better, so she asked, "Do it again, okay?"

Cao Jun didn't expect Zeng Li to be so strict with him, so he sighed helplessly: "Okay, then record it again."

This song "New Drunken Concubine" was recorded by Zeng Li Leng for the 14th time before it met Cao Jun's and her own requirements at the same time.

After recording the song "The Drunken Concubine", Cao Jun directed and acted for the first time. He helped Zeng Li shoot the MV for the song "The Drunken Concubine" and played the male lead in the MV.

June 12, evening.

The movie "Crazy Stone", which has been released for nearly three months, is officially released from theaters.

And the movie "Crazy Stone" directed by Ning Hao finally broke through 3650 million yuan.

Among the 2005 films released in mainland theaters in 260, the film "Crazy Stone" ranked seventh in the year with a box office of 3650 million, which is quite outstanding.

So far, the top box office movie in 2005 is the blockbuster "Mythology" directed by Tang Jili and starring Cheng Long and Kim Hee-sun, which earned 9700 million at the box office within three months of its release.

The second-ranked movie is "Seven Swords", directed by Tsui Hark, starring Liming and Donnie Yen, which won a box office of 2 million.

In the third place is "Initial D", directed by Liu Weiqiang and starring Jay Chou and Cheng Guanxi, which won a box office of 3 million.

Ranked 4th is the epic blockbuster directed by Cheng Kaige - "The Promise", which took in 3 million box office in just 6200 days of its release.

It is worth mentioning that the box office of the film reached 2115 million on the first day of its release, breaking the record of 1 million for the overseas blockbuster "Titanic"800 and 1700 million for the Chinese film "Kung Fu".

On the third day of its release, "The Promise" had a single-day box office of 3 million, breaking the single-day box office record of "Kung Fu" of 2400 million.

Although "The Promise" achieved a very high box office after it was released, the evaluation of the film was indeed mixed. The audience did not directly say that the film was bad, but only said that they could not understand it.

When Cheng Kaige was interviewed by reporters, he said triumphantly: "It's okay if you don't understand, no one will understand this movie within ten years."

I have to admit that there are many classic scenes in the movie "The Promise" directed by Cheng Kaige.

For example, Manshen said to Qingcheng (Zhang Baizhi): "You will never get true love, even if you get it, you will lose it immediately!"

Wuhuan (Xie Tingfeng) said to Qingcheng (Zhang Baizhi): "You ruined my chance to be a good person!"

Qingcheng (Zhang Baizhi) said to millions of soldiers: "Do you want to see me take off my clothes?"

……

Closer to home, after "Myth" and "Crazy Stone" were withdrawn, the Huaguo Film Market in December became a special show for the movie "The Promise".

Almost all other movies released at the same time had zero exposure, and the influence of "The Promise" is definitely thriving.

However, Cao Jun doesn't care about the so-called blockbuster "The Promise", nor does he care how much box office it can get in the end.

Obviously, what Cao Jun cares most about is how much money he will get in the end after the movie "Crazy Stone" has been released.

In fact, it is also very simple to calculate the box office dividend. The total box office of "Crazy Stone" is 3600 million, and the film studio dividend is 35%, which is 1260 million.

After deducting the cost of 1260 million from 500 million, it is 760 million, and Cao Jun and Andy Lau will continue to divide the 760 million. Andy Lau accounts for 60% of the total investment, and can get 6% of the profit, which is 456 million.

And Cao Jun accounted for 40% of the total investment in the film, and he could get 4% of the profit, which is 304 million.

Although this amount of money is nothing to Cao Jun today, Cao Jun enjoys the feeling of making money by investing in movies.

Cao Jun is also very satisfied with the profit. He only invested 200 million yuan, but in less than a year, he got 304 million yuan in profit, more than doubled.

At the same time, Ning Hao, who is preparing for a new movie, also threw an olive branch to Cao Jun: "Xiao Cao, I'm going to make a new movie, do you want to come and play together?"

This time "Crazy Stone" has achieved such a good box office, Ning Hao also has confidence in himself. In line with the brotherhood of "blessings and sorrows", he directly asked Cao Jun to invest in his new film.

Cao Jun thought for a while, Ning Hao's second movie after "Crazy Stone" should be "Crazy Racing" starring Huang Bai.

In Cao Jun's impression, the box office of the movie "Crazy Racing" is not too high, it seems to be only 1.1 million yuan.

However, so far, there are only a few directors whose domestic movie box office has exceeded [-] million. Apart from Cheng Kaige, Zhang Yimou, and Feng Xiaogang, there is no fourth one.

Therefore, whether to invest in the movie "Crazy Racing", Cao Jun still needs to look at the specific situation.

If the investment in "Crazy Stone" is too large, Cao Jun does not plan to participate, because if the investment is too large, even if the box office is high, he will not get much money in the end.

Thinking of this, Cao Jun asked with interest: "Brother Hao, how much do you plan to spend on this new movie?"

Ning Hao said calmly: "About 1000 million, at most 1000 million, it should not exceed 2000 million."

After listening to Ning Hao's words, Cao Jun felt that there was something wrong, and said with a smile: "Then I will vote, and I can vote as much as I can!"

Ning Hao didn't hide it from Cao Jun, but told him the truth: "Xiao Cao, there are more companies investing this time, and you may not be able to invest much money."

For this, Cao Jun also expressed his understanding. Everyone wanted to follow Ning Hao to make a lot of money, and then asked: "Then how much can I invest?"

Ning Hao replied: "It should be about 10%."

ps. This book is all ordered to break through 500. As long as this score can be maintained, I can always get full attendance. Thank you for the support of every little partner, thank you all.
