I really want to hit the street

It's just the three of them tonight.

I didn’t call her a girl either.

Pu Jie was slightly relieved. He, the pure love god of war, really couldn't adapt to that kind of situation.

He is quite comfortable with this kind of thing.

"Pu Bian! I've been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come to Waiter!"

"Give my brother a drink of Depth Bomb for an appetizer!"

Pu Jie didn't understand this, so he naturally agreed with a smile.

Today is just for drinking and having fun, so naturally be more relaxed.

After the three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, they started chatting while drinking some wine.

The noise, sway, and hormones inside became the backdrop for the three of them.

The place Wei Fan chose was a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle. It was perfect for admiring the unrestrained dancing of the young people below while drinking and chatting.

Bi Gan said: "Editor Pu, our crew of "The Man from Earth" has finished filming. All filming has been completed. Teacher Chen Mingdao's performance is amazing! It's really a masterpiece! I didn't wait for his two-month schedule in vain. This film brings Master Chen Mingdao’s dialogue skills to the extreme. I can’t imagine if he hadn’t come here, which actor would I have chosen to film your script? Fortunately, it’s not a disgrace!”

"Okay! As long as the filming goes well, when will it be released?"

Pu Jie is more concerned about this film because he wants to get 10% of the box office share!

It’s already pretty good to get such a large share of the shares from the script investment.

You know, for movies released in theaters, the theater will get 50% of the box office share.

Theater chains take another 7%.

The producers and distributors only take 43% of the box office.

The distributor is responsible for the promotion and sale of the film, negotiating with theaters, etc. to ensure the film's schedule and early advertising.

They also have to divide the box office between 10 and 15%, and take the middle number of 13%.

Then the producers can only get 30% of the box office revenue.

Pu Jie is considered to be 1/3 of the producer, and if he invests in the script, he will get 10%.

The remaining 20% ​​is for other producers and directors.

The investment for this movie is relatively small, only more than one million.

Pu Jie was too cash-strapped at the time to invest any money, but in the end Bi Gan spent his own money to make the film.

Chen Mingdao was given a salary of 300,000 yuan, plus 3% of the box office share.

In other words, Bi Gan, who put in the most effort and investment in the entire film, could only get 17% of the box office.

However, he was already satisfied with this.

Logically speaking, he spent more than 1 million yuan on filming, which cost Chen Mingdao a lot of effort. Now that the entire film has been produced, it really exceeds expectations.

A decent low-budget movie.

"The post-production of this film is not much work. I put it in Feihuang Studio. It can be completed within a month. It can be applied for release in mid-March. We can choose a good release time."

Wei Fan and Pu Jie said at the same time: "May Day holiday!"

"Hahaha!"

The two laughed. After March, which is the May Day holiday, the traffic is relatively high. Obviously, it will be released well at this time.

Bi Gan drank a glass of wine: "Okay! Then it will be released on May Day. During that time, there should be two domestic films and one imported blockbuster. The competition is not particularly fierce. I am very interested in our film." Have confidence!"

Wei Feng patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, okay, even if the box office is not high, your film is going to win awards. When the reputation is accepted, you will naturally not worry about making money."

Bi Gan shook his head: "Old Wei, you still don't understand my thoughts. I am so persistent in making low-cost films just to open up a way and let domestic directors know that low-cost films can also be successful. Investment has never limited good films. The conditions, the story is!”

"I have to make money from this movie! This is what we call making money while standing up!"

"Okay! I'd like to guide you!"

As an old movie fan and drama fan, Pu Jie can understand what Bi Gan said very well.

Many high-scoring movies from decades ago are still popular today.

Is it because they spent a lot of money on filming? Is the picture good? Are the props beautiful?

Not really!

It contains profound thoughts and wonderful stories and lines!

"Witness for the Prosecution", a black and white suspense film from 40 years ago, has a Douban score of 9.5 and is still popular today.

It’s not that big movies with high investment are bad, but there are also some small movies with other tastes needed to fill the market.

Bi Gan is someone who is committed to telling good stories and making small movies.

A few people were drinking and chatting.

Wei Fan is a heroic figure, and "Urban Son-in-law Dragon King" made him a lot of money, and he gained both word-of-mouth and views.

He can get a lot of money from Penguin Film and Television.

"By the way, Editor Pu, how were you so sure that "Legend of the Stars" could fetch a higher copyright fee?"

"Um? When did I become so sure?"

Wei Fan smiled: "You are still pretending, but my friend told me all your original words at that time. People in the golden age went to buy your comics and animation copyrights. You thought 1 million was too little. You said it was much more than this price. They Later he got angry and complained to me.”

Pu Jie was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of something.

"That Golden Age Company that came to buy my copyright, was it you who found it?"

"Ah! That's right."

Wei Fan looked like I am doing my best for you, please praise me.

Pu Jie: "."

OK! The mole has been found!

you again!

Wei Fan, Wei Fan, I treat you as my senior, and I will help you promote the TV series with all my heart.

Is this how you treat me?

If it hadn't been for the cleverness of labor and management to directly transform into the demon Bo Gang and suppress Qidian's gang, he would probably have fainted in the toilet from crying now!

The critical attack module that costs ten times the royalties is worthless!

"Director Wei! You almost caused a disaster!"

Wei Fan was stunned, and the hand holding the wine glass froze.

Is that an exaggeration?

"Pu Bian, is it so serious? Didn't it sell in the end?"

Pu Jie was heartbroken: "Senior, what do you think of our relationship!"

"Pu Bian has given me the gift of reinvention. Without Pu Bian, I, Wei Fan, would not be where I am today. I have nothing to say."

"Then how could you do this to me! I have repeatedly emphasized not to sell copyrights to me, but you have done it again and again! Forget about "The Rogue Doctor", it doesn't matter whether that book is sold or not, this If "Legend of the Stars" is sold by Qidian, I really won't have anywhere to cry."

"Hiss~~this!"

Pu Jie thought for a while and decided to eliminate this hidden danger to avoid any unexpected situations when he was planning a new book in the future.

"Director Wei is confused. Look, I sold the copyright for "Legend of the Stars" for a full 6 million yuan this time. You must have heard about the process and bloody events."

Bi Gan also became interested: "Indeed, I heard it during that time. There was a huge quarrel on Weibo. Your sentence: if criticism is not free, then praise is meaningless. It was so touching! I was so excited. !”

Wei Fan: "No! I decided to add Pu Bian's sentence to the next season of "Urban Son-in-law Dragon King 2", and specially designed the plot of an episode for this sentence, using this incident as the material. It’s absolutely beautiful! Ahem. Pu Bian, keep talking, listen.”

Pu Jie rolled his eyes at him.

"All of this was actually within my expectations!"

Two people: "Ah!?"

Pu Jie almost blushed, but he still said bravely: "That's right! I designed this all to create topics, become popular, and then raise the copyright price."

Two people: "I'm going!"

"So, are you helping me? You almost killed me! What if Qidian insists on forcing me to sign the 1 million copyright with them? Am I going to fall out with the editor and the copyright department? I Will you stand up for me when something happens? Obviously not! How can I prove my innocence without Qidian's support? Fortunately, I have talked it through with them in advance. I refused the Golden Age Company’s offer to purchase the copyright, otherwise this thing would have been ruined. Not only would I not be able to sell it for 6 million in royalties, but I would also have to be scolded, and no one would read the book. Tell me, did you almost cause a catastrophe? "

The more Pu Jie talked about it, the more he started to believe it.

He obviously only found out the ins and outs of the matter after being notified by Qidian.

But at this time, in order to prevent Wei Fantian from finding a position to attack him behind his back with a knife every day, he still took it out and pretended to do it.

Wei Fan was already stunned.

"I see."

"I didn't expect that Pu Bian was behind this incident."

"I was reckless. I almost became a sinner."

When Pu Jie saw that the effect was achieved, he said: "Hey, everything is over. Finally, I got a good result. Director Wei must never help me sell again in the future. I understand. I will wait for the best one." It will be sold when the price is right.”

"Oh, I understand Pubian!"

Wei Fan understood. If the company he introduced couldn't offer the highest price in the industry, don't go to him.

Pu Jie was also relieved, now Wei Fan would not backstab him secretly again.

I will naturally ask them for help when needed.

Wei Gan asked again: "What is Pu going to write in his next book? When will it be published?"

Pu Jie thought for a while and found that he currently had several great ideas.

The kind that feels like it will catch fire if you send it out.

When the royalties explode, the system's anti-addiction regulations will be triggered, all the money will be sent to Duoyu Company, and then it will be withdrawn with a tenfold hit.

"Well, I haven't decided on the subject of my next book yet, but this time, I'm going to write it seriously!"

Wei Fan and Bigan were not surprised at all.

A screenwriter who can write such a good script as "The Man from Earth" has more than that level of writing skills?

If you don’t write seriously, you will become popular.

Are you serious about not being able to take off?

"Then we wish Pu Bian's new book a big hit in advance! Cheers!"

"cheers!"

"drink!"

"Waiter! Serve the wine!"

"Ugh~~~"

Pu Jie came out of the bar, held on to the tree and vomited several times before he felt his stomach felt better.

Drunkly, he found his car and got in it.

The woman sitting in front of her who was playing with her mobile phone was startled.

"Mr. Pu Pu, where are you going?"

"Go home!"

In the blur, Pu Jie looked in the rearview mirror and saw that the female driver in front looked pretty with her mask off.

Those red phoenix eyes are particularly attractive.

(PS: There will be more in a while~~)
