Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 39: Dividing money on a large scale
  Since filming the MV for Nelly, Tang De has been busy.

In just two weeks, Mike gave him two more MV shooting jobs. It seemed that this period was a spurt of new songs for the singers. However, because they were not famous singers, Tang De chose to recharge his batteries. It's not as dominant as Nelly's new song.

Lion Advertising is also continuing to shoot other advertisements, all of which are local food advertisements. It seems that after experiencing Heinz and Domino's, everyone believes that Lion Advertising is better at food advertising.

Tang De also received his own money during this period. Nelly's shooting expenses, photographer and director's double salary totaled 20,000 US dollars. The Heinz advertisement cost 15,000 US dollars, plus miscellaneous shooting fees and advertising creative fees, a total of 70,000 US dollars was obtained.

Carmela prayed at home for a long time, and even Luis and Regias received their own gifts, an electronic piano and a drum set.

The two little guys formed a band directly at home, which disturbed Tang De's ears.

However, he was also happy to see this family become more lively, which was more comfortable than the stagnant water when they were in debt.

But these are just small sums of money, because the real big money is yet to come...

Raymond, Badman, Donde and Republic Records Vice President Giorgio were sitting on the large sofa in his office, chatting about their trip to Los Angeles.

"You know! Tang De, the bars in Los Angeles are bigger than those in New York, and the stages are more dazzling than the lights in New York! Even the girls dance harder!" Raymond told Tang De excitedly what he had learned.

They took the band to tour in Los Angeles, Chicago and other places, and made a lot of money while promoting it. In Ramon's own words, he couldn't stop at all.

"Some hip-hop boys came on stage to play freestyle with me! SHXT, luckily I have practiced it!" Although Raymond's songs are average, he has been hanging out on the streets since he was a child, and he also knows a lot about improvisational rap. Before releasing the album, he I also often fight with others.

In addition, this guy is big and has a loud voice. When he roars, he can make the opponent's ears buzz. He is already three points ahead in terms of momentum without even opening his mouth.

So even if some people want to embarrass him, they really can't get any good results.

"Okay, Raymond, stop talking about this and listen to Mr. Giorgio." Seeing Raymond's big mouth like an uncontrollable accelerator, Badman quickly stopped his expressiveness.

"Okay, Tang De, let's talk about it later when we go to drink!" Raymond and Tang De bumped fists, and the gold chains on their bodies made sounds.

Tang De twitched his lips. This guy has been wearing gold necklaces and gold rings since he came back. He looks like a complete nouveau riche, plus he wears all kinds of big-name logos.

This means that he is black, and if he were white, he would be robbed bald in minutes on his way back to his neighborhood.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Giorgio smiled and said: "First of all, I would like to congratulate Raymond for his new song ranking 21st!"

"Wow!" Raymond cheered, and there was another sound of gold jewelry clashing.

"Secondly, "Change" has sold half a million copies, ranking ninth among American hip-hop albums this year! Raymond, maybe you can be ranked in the top five by the end of this year."

This sentence made Raymond even more excited, smiling like a 200-pound child.

"So after the sales are settled this time, we have to start dividing the money. First of all, the average price of the album is eight dollars, so our overall sales are four million dollars. Of course, with the subsequent discounts to sell goods, The average price will drop further. It will be around six dollars.”

Giorgio took out a stack of calculated sales amount documents and handed them to several people. After they read them, he continued: "We will allocate them according to their respective proportions. And this is still the beginning, because the overseas sales have not yet been settled. . And I have no doubt that this song will surpass one million and get platinum, so everyone can continue to look forward to it." Tang De did the math, Badman and Raymond will get 63%, and they will get 63%. Two and a half million dollars.

Republic Records 33 percent, $1.32 million.

As for himself, the 4% share, 160,000 US dollars, is the most he has ever gained since time travel!
  But Tang De was not satisfied, because this little money was not enough to make him feel safe, but the money could indeed solve an urgent need.

That’s the cost of starting an advertising agency.

He had long wanted to be dependent on others. During this period, he often flirted with Heinz, and even let Maroni see him several times, just to arouse suspicion in his heart.

Now Maroni has become increasingly unfriendly to Tang De, and even Apollyon cannot dissuade him.

But this was exactly what he wanted, so when he arrived late for the new company's advertising creative meeting in the afternoon, smelling of alcohol, Maroney immediately sarcastically said: "Don De, what, did you go to the disco with your friends? Arrived so late.”

"Or are you drinking champagne with the CEO of the Heinz Group again? Apollyon, we are not so lucky."

Tang De ignored the sour dog's remarks, but said hello to Jimmy, and then sat in his seat.

"Hiccup!" He also belched wine, looking slightly tipsy.

Maroni was even more angry: "Look at you like this, can you still come up with good advertising ideas? Apollyon, I think you have to think carefully about whether you really want to let him be responsible."

Apollyon had a big belly and was a little embarrassed: "Tang De, are you really able to do this?"

"Of course I can, but I would like to make a suggestion." Tang De spread his hands and said: "I think my current share ratio is actually unreasonable. Because many of the creative ideas for advertisements come from me, and I think Maroni Seems more suitable for administrative work.”

Maroni suddenly became furious, and the green clothes on his body looked like a peacock with its tail spread out: "A lot? Tang De, don't be kidding! We received a total of nine advertisements, and you were only responsible for four! The rest! Everything is my creativity! Do you understand?"

"But I'm responsible for the most profitable thing, right?" Tang De's words left him speechless.

But then Maroni sneered: "So, you were promoted by Apollyon, Tang De, people must know how to be grateful!"

Tang De also laughed: "I am very grateful to Apollyon, so I have been helping the company make money, haven't I? Look, you recently bought a new sports car, and Apollyon recently bought a new small yacht. Jimmy and I What? It’s only twenty thousand dollars in total, isn’t that enough gratitude?”

"So how many do you want?" Apollyon asked.

Tang De closed his eyes and thought for a moment: "I want 40%."

"You're fucking talking nonsense!" Maroni stood up angrily.
