Illiterate top class: three years of poor performance, become a superstar

Chapter 317 This is called...surprise!
"..."

At the end, Li Cheng also emphasized that he had prepared a special extra surprise.

The tone of the description was as if there was nothing in the sky or on the earth.

Highlight an exaggeration.

I'm afraid I won't be able to impress Mr. Xu.

However, Xu Nian's view on this is very simple.

It is nothing more than a slight increase in the original planned 1% copyright operating income share.

This and that.

It wasn't anything too surprising, and it didn't change my decision.

The interview is still scheduled for next Monday, the 8th.

Not to mention, Mr. Xu is quite understanding of people and the world. He said that Tomb-Sweeping Day is coming soon, and he will spend the past few days sweeping tombs and outings for big things.

Li Cheng thought there was nothing wrong with his words and did not force him again and again.

Anyway, they are not in a hurry for these three or five days. They need some time to rush to Huacheng from various places to eat, drink and talk. It happens to be the Qingming Festival and there is nothing to do. It is better to be decisive and arrange it directly after the festival...

After ending the call with Li Cheng, Xu Nian called Meng Chao and made some simple arrangements.

After all, Li Cheng and the others are here to send money. As the host, I have to make some arrangements.

Mainly...it doesn't cost him anything.

This is all subject to the company's reimbursement process.

Meng Chao is very skilled in this kind of welcoming and sending, and he has never made any mistakes. He is a professional counterpart.

And then……

Xu Nian clenched his fists and hammered his waist and eyes, humming a tune and walked to Lin Jianian's house... There was no one in the living room of Zhang Yawei's house, so he didn't expect it.

Looking at Zhang Yawei and Lin Jia Nian who were gathered together as expected, Xu Nian couldn't help but wonder: "Is it better here?"

"Why are we basically here, and we still have to walk a little further?"

"The styles of the three living rooms are not very different."

To this, Zhang Yawei's answer is simple: "Habit."

"For such a long time in the past, we have been accustomed to gathering at Nian Nian's house, and we have no intention of deliberately changing it for a while."

"It's all out of habit."

Lin Jianian's view was simpler. She just looked at Xu Nian deliberately: "Why, are you going to divide the king into kings so soon?"

"What's wrong with my family? How can walking in just three steps tire you out?"

Xu Nian said bluntly: "It was hard to say before, but at least I feel tired today."

"You can't blindly increase your fitness efforts with this thing. Alas...then again, you will only be exhausted."

"You are the evil one to complain first!" Lin Jianian was furious, "I have been thinking about arranging and composing music for the past two days. It's you..."

At this point, Lin Jia Nian suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "You are not allowed to enter my bedroom!"

"It doesn't matter what you say." Xu Niancai didn't care and just said, "I just need to maintain my health, not to give up on you."

"If that's the case, why not raise a Gou Ba?"

At this point, Xu Nian changed the topic: "I just received a call. Li Cheng said he wanted to come to me to discuss the money. Does Mr. Zhang know?"

"Let me ask." Zhang Yawei took out her phone and sent a message, and then said, "The box office share of "Infernal Affairs" has been settled to the company."

"It's just that the company is still in liquidation and has not settled with you."

"The main reason is that the finance department has no energy right now. The annual personal tax remittance started last month, and we are giving you a reasonable accounting of personal tax issues;
Last year’s situation was actually quite complicated, much more complicated than the previous year’s revenue of several hundred million;
It also mainly includes tax deductions for a large donation, as well as some investment income and various tax summary repayments;
Every payment must be accounted for before the box office share is processed and the first quarter revenue reconciliation is processed. "

Having said this, Zhang Yawei explained: "It's not that the company is unwilling to hire a few more accountants to be responsible for your income, but it's not necessary;
Only March is busier every year. The usual settlement is actually very fast. However, the settlement cycles of the parties are inconsistent. Generally, the settlement cycle is summarized and communicated with you. "

"The main thing is that you don't need money."

Xu Nian agrees with this. He doesn't even pay much attention to the balance of his bank card now.

How should I put it? The bulk of his income has actually been transformed from artist income to capital operation income.

There is no way, if Xu Nian follows his own plan, it will be difficult for his artist income to cover inflation.

With cash assets of RMB 40 billion, ordinary income can generally cover inflation.

As long as such a large amount of money is not used, even for one day, it will depreciate by an astronomical amount.

Anyway, it involves a lot of complex market economy, national economy, macroeconomics, etc.

Fortunately, Xu Nian doesn't need to pay attention to any of these things. He doesn't care about his income now and is just messing around.

According to his current spending level, the balance on his bank card that he doesn't want to spend extra money on is enough to last him three lifetimes.

Although... the planned investment of 1 million yuan for Wandering Earth has been spent, and there is still just over [-] million yuan on the card.

But, on the other hand, the box office share of Infernal Affairs has not yet been settled...

In addition, there is some album sales revenue, which is estimated to exceed [-] million.

and so……

Master Xu has passed the stage of worrying about money.

It's nothing more than maintaining simple expectations and love for something as simple as dividing money.

A few minutes later, Zhang Yawei received the report and simply said: "Infernal Affairs is widely praised around the world, and the income from copyright operations will be considerable."

"Li Cheng and the others have already contacted the company once before, saying that they still need to conduct final negotiations in order to reach an agreement;
The main reason is that "Infernal Affairs" is not just an Oscar-winning best picture, but it has the characteristics of a simple viewing threshold;
It is even fundamentally different from many award-winning films. "

Xu Young nodded lightly: "I understand this. It is a sufficient balance between art and market."

"It's very good. It seems that this movie can be passed down to three generations."

Zhang Yawei smiled and didn't say much.

At the end, Lin Jianian next to him asked curiously: "Are we going to talk today?"

"No, next Monday."

"Why did you push it so long all at once?"

“Think of others.”

"What about you, what are you doing these days?"

"Do nothing. Just stay at home every day. At least make sure you have three meals a day."

"It's not who you want to eat...you...you brat!"

"..."

…………

Mr. Xu is a very serious person. He has promised to die at home in April and does not plan to have any discounts for execution.

He doesn't need to visit graves or go on an outing during Qingming Festival, he just wants to stay at home.

To be honest, after going through many ups and downs, Mr. Xu found that the most comfortable life is...

Get up early to work out, occasionally sweat in the gym, and then lie on Lin Jianian's belly or legs, spending the day leisurely.

After all, they have a friendship that often worries about each other's life and death, so they are very compatible.

This pure way of showing off is more comfortable than all other ways.

Because there are so many types of variations.

You can sleep on your legs, draw circles, and occasionally feel Lin Jia Nian's trembling. What an interesting life.

It's even better when you lie on your belly. Whether you turn to the left or right, you have a very good experience.

When you are tired from lying down, simply moving around can become a kind of superposition. The emotional value is so satisfying.

Although Mr. Xu would occasionally lie on Zhang Yawei's lap, he was not as comfortable as lying on Lin Jia Nian's body.

The main thing is that everyone is different.

Moreover, Mr. Xu knows how to exercise restraint, and this kind of scene will never develop further.

They all stop here.

If you really think about it for a day, that is another situation and should not be easily confused.

In addition, I have to say that Mr. Xu managed the time more appropriately.

This kind of life for at least one day ended early on the 7th, because both women regretted that they had to continue to go through the period of aunty.

I just had a day off to meet acquaintances like Li Cheng with a new look.

Simply perfect.

Now lying on Lin Jianian's belly, Xu Nian couldn't help but sigh: "I am simply a saint."

"Staying at home only lasts for three days at most. God would have to say that you are such a waste."

Lin Jianian deliberately said inappropriately: "You have to be grateful that it's not summer, otherwise..."

"So I say I'm a saint. Logically speaking, who at such a young age can't fight bloody battles?" Xu Nian didn't take it seriously.

Then Xu Nian changed the topic: "Let's go out for an outing next week."

Lin Jianian gave a thumbs up: "6!"

Zhang Yawei, who was sitting on the single sofa beside her, couldn't help but say: "6."

I really don’t want to let myself be idle at all.Absolutely.

What kind of bastard is he?

Fortunately, neither Lin Jianian nor Zhang Yawei had any pain from their aunts... Even if they had, they would have been easily cured long ago.

Money can make Mo Tui ghosts.

A common disease is obviously not a big problem.

Xu Nian accepted the compliments from the two women calmly and continued to think about the future: "Go on an outing for a week, and then think about new songs."

"We will hold another concert at the end of the month to bring April to a successful conclusion. Let's talk about it in May."

"People can't set too far-reaching goals for themselves, otherwise they will tend towards nothingness."

Lin Jianian: "..."

Zhang Yawei: "..."

"..."

…………

…………

Monday the 8th.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Xu Nian, accompanied by Meng Chao, arrived at Zhujiang New Town.

The meeting place arranged by Meng Chao was in a private conference room on the roof of IFC.

After the conversation, I took two steps to go to a chef's restaurant or something.

It's quite advanced.

After all, Tianyue is not without this condition, but it is not so surprising.

It came from tripartite negotiations.

So in addition to Li Cheng, Zhuang Hui's side, Xu Nian's side, and Tianyue's side.

The representative sent by Tianyue this time was not the usual vice president Qi Yongyi, but another senior executive, who seemed to be the COO.

After all, Tianyue is a listed company, and some titles have become slightly more "fashionable".

But let alone the COO, it would be useless even if the chairman came. Mr. Xu had already clearly taken the lead.

That's why he likes to press on Lin Jia Nian every day. This can be regarded as physically taking it back.

"..."

Most of the people here are acquaintances, and the relatively new COO also knows his identity very well and looks honest and courteous.

So without much pleasantries, we went directly to the topic.

Li Cheng was fully prepared, took out a laptop, and then used the projection to pull out some information.

"We signed some agreements with Tianyue and Mr. Xu before, these are the specific ones."

"It stipulates the share of domestic box office revenue and the share of copyright operating income..."

"In addition, we also signed a joint investment agreement, specifically this one..."

"Leave aside the rights and interests enjoyed by this joint investment agreement, and focus on the copyright operating income share of Mr. Xu as the main creator..."

"Originally, we settled on 1%. This part is based on the share ratio determined based on the direct income from copyright operations..."

"What our producer means is that this ratio can be increased to 1.5%..."

The sharing of copyright operating income...actor Xu Nian has always followed a very clear sharing model.

In the methods of revenue sharing, revenue and profit sharing, etc., the privilege he gets is direct revenue sharing.

Just... no matter how many so-called costs this or that the film studio paid during the copyright operation, he gets a percentage of the total revenue.

This is true for all the movies he stars in.

In the past, the share ratio has always been very low, with the highest being a few tenths of a percent.

Infernal Affairs is unprecedented and was originally set at 1%.

It is no exaggeration to say that with the current mature copyright operation system, the annual copyright operation income of a movie like Infernal Affairs will not be less than 10 billion.

Because copyright operations are a very complex statistical project.

Including but not limited to online video platforms, short video platform citations, additional cinema chain citations, additional screenings, online on-demand, etc.

These various authorizations will be subdivided into permanent authorization, cooperation authorization, one-time buyout permanent cooperation authorization, etc.

For example, the first part of the previous Tang Detective series was quite good in Asia, and the first large-scale copyright operation earned more than one billion.

No matter how much the cost is, there is just so much revenue data.

Because the second part became slightly popular in the international market, the revenue from copyright operations was also more considerable.

This is still a Tang Detective series that requires additional understanding of Chinese laughter. Infernal Affairs does not belong to this type. Its story and contrast are very clear.

It is better for people around the world to understand.

In other words... After a slight pause, Li Cheng said bluntly: "Because the types of copyright operations for the movie Infernal Affairs are far beyond imagination..."

"Considering Mr. Xu's outstanding contribution and the practical promotion of the globalization of Infernal Affairs, we have to increase our share."

After saying this, Li Cheng looked at the projection screen: "Currently, more than 500 copyright operation cooperation projects have been initially negotiated with film producers in various regions around the world;
The total cooperation amount settled for the first time will exceed RMB 80 billion;

These include one-time buyout cooperation in some regions such as South America and South Africa;

Also includes some..."

“In addition, the proportion of this part of cooperation that is settled on a quarterly basis is not very high, only 40%;

But these parts are all distributed in developed areas around the world, and there will be a steady stream of licensing revenue divided into them;
This includes licensing cooperation with several well-known global online video platforms..."

"On the whole, it has surpassed all the current copyright operation and development categories of Chinese-language films and television, and is also among the best globally."

In short, there are only two words: Niu Bei Yi.

It’s no wonder that Li Chengdu compiled a PPT to assist in the description. In fact, the direct economic benefits this movie brought to them were too exaggerated.

Let's put it this way, it was so exaggerated that for a moment Li Chengdu thought that he would just break up with Mr. Xu.

Wait for death with this movie.

But in just a moment, he gave up this idea. He could still decide whether to wait for death with a movie or a pile of movies.

Mainly, Li Cheng is not young anymore and has a lot of experience. He is very clear about the difference between the movies he directed with Mr. Xu and without Mr. Xu.

without any exaggeration.

Li Cheng believes that he, Mr. Li, and Mr. Xu can make the world's film history together~
After listening to the entire description from Li Cheng's perspective, Xu Nian said bluntly: "Director Li didn't say there was a special surprise, why did he end it right after it started?"

"It's a bit anticlimactic."

After a pause, Xu Nian said casually: "To be honest, I don't really care about this change."

"Infernal Affairs is already a thing of the past. It's only [-] percentage points. Looking into the future, the difference will only be one to two to three hundred million more before tax."

"I don't care anymore."

He is very calm.

If he didn't have more than 30 billion funds to manage in Lin Jianian and Zhang Yawei's asset management company, he might have made hundreds of millions or billions in revenue in a quarter;
If he did not hold 6000 million shares of Tianyue, its current market value would be nearly [-] billion;

He will indeed care more about the difference of a few tenths of a percentage point.

Now... I will be happy, but not a surprise.

Li Cheng didn't seem surprised by Xu Nian's attitude. He just looked at Tianyue COO with a smile: "Mr. Wu, what do you mean?"

"We Tianyue have no objection." Mr. Wu replied with a smile.

Nonsense, the film producers have no objections. Only Tianyue, a petty bourgeoisie who only invested 5%, has any objections.

Not to mention that Xu Nian is Tianyue's major shareholder. Even if Xu Nian is just Tianyue's pillar, Tianyue will never stop such a thing.

Any increase in Xu Nian’s commercial value will be fed back to Tianyue~
As a result, Li Cheng quickly came up with a new cooperation memorandum, signed by the three parties, and the matter was settled.

Then Li Cheng got up and gave it away.

Xu Nian was not in a hurry to leave.

He still had to socialize.

But...just turning his head, Mr. Xu saw that Li Cheng had brought in an acquaintance after seeing off Mr. Wu.

Chen Yifan.

When he saw Xu Nian, Chen Yifan greeted him smoothly: "Mr. Xu, long time no see."

"Director Chen?" Xu Nian was a little confused about this situation.

Li Cheng and the others were not in a hurry at all. They poured the tea again slowly, and then said, "What happened just now was actually incidental."

"The real surprise is..."

“Director Zhuang, Director Chen and I worked closely together last month, working day and night to finally complete the book of The Wandering Earth;
It can’t be said to be a complete version, but there are no problems with the frame and shooting can be started directly;

The pre-stage CG has been prepared, and the on-set CG team is in place. The post-stage CG team will also join the team to follow the process;

In short, we have planned to maximize the use of every fund. As long as the shooting conditions are good, it will be released within this year! "

After hearing this, Xu Nian couldn't help blinking and asked: "Is this called...a surprise?"
