I really want to pounce

Chapter 156 Alright, You Are the Traitor Again!

Just the three of them tonight.

Didn't call me a girl either.

Pu Jie heaved a sigh of relief, he, the god of pure love, really couldn't adapt to that kind of occasion.

He's quite at ease with this kind of plainness.

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

"Give my brother a glass of depth bomb for an appetizer!"

How did Pu Jie understand this, so he naturally smiled and agreed.

Today I came here to drink and have fun, so let it go.

After the three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, they drank some wine and chatted.

The hustle, swing, and hormones inside have become the background board for the three of them.

Wei Fanxuan's place is a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle, which is very suitable for admiring the unrestrained dancing of the young people below and chatting while drinking a little wine.

Bi Gan said: "Pu Bian, our crew of "That Man From Earth" has finished filming, and all the filming has been completed. Mr. Chen Mingdao's performance is absolutely amazing! It's really amazing! It's not in vain to wait for his two-month schedule, This film has brought Mr. Chen Mingdao's line skills to the extreme, I really can't imagine if he doesn't come, which actor would I use to make your script well, luckily I will live up to my fate!"

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

Pu Jie is more concerned about this movie, because he wants to get 10% of the box office!
It is already very good to get so much share in the script.

You know, for movies released in theaters, movie theaters have to take 50% of the box office.

The theater chain takes another 7%.

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

The distributor is responsible for the announcement and sale of the film, and talks with theaters, etc., to ensure the filming of the film and the promotion of pre-advertising.

They also need to share 10~15% of the box office, and take a middle number of 13%.

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

Pu Jie counts as one-third of the producers, who invest in scripts and take 1% of the shares.

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

The investment in this film is relatively small, only more than 100 million.

Pu Jie was too shy to invest any money at that time, but in the end Bi Gan paid for the film himself.

Chen Mingdao was given a salary of 30 yuan, plus 3% of the box office share.

In other words, after the entire film was shot, Bi Gan, who had the most effort and invested the most, could only get 17% of the box office.

However, he was already very satisfied with this.

Logically speaking, for his more than 100 million filming expenses, it took a lot of effort to hire Mr. Chen Mingdao alone. Now that the whole film has been produced, it really exceeds expectations.

A decent low-budget movie.

"The post-production of this film is not a lot of work. I put it in Feihuang Studio, and I can finish it all within a month. I can apply 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, that is, the traffic during the May Day holiday is relatively high. Obviously, the release is good at this time.

Bi Gan drank the wine in his glass: "Okay! Then it will be released on May [-]st. During that time, there should be two domestic films and one blockbuster imported from abroad. The competition is not particularly fierce. Have confidence!"

Wei Fan patted him on the shoulder: "Well, well, even if the box office is not high, but your film is going to win awards, and when the reputation is accepted, the money will naturally not worry about earning."

Bi Gan shook his head: "Old Wei, you still don't understand my idea. I am so persistent in making low-budget movies, just to open up a way to let domestic directors know that low-budget movies can also sell well. Investment has never been a restriction on good movies." condition, the story is!"

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

"Okay! I respectfully guide one!"

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

Many high-scoring and good movies decades ago are still sought after by people.

Is it because they spend a lot of money filming?Is the picture good?Are the props exquisite?

Not!
It is the deep thoughts and wonderful stories and lines in it!
"Witness for the Prosecution", a black and white suspense film 40 years ago, scored 9.5 on Douban, and is still popular today.

It's not that big movies with high investment are not good, but that some small movies with other tastes are also needed to fill this market.

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

Several people chatted while drinking.

Wei Fan has a heroic appearance, "The Dragon King of the City's Son-in-Law" has made him a lot of money, with both word-of-mouth and viewership.

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

"By the way, Pu Bian, why were you so sure that "Legend of the Stars" would sell for a higher copyright fee?"

"Eh? When did I become so sure?"

Wei Fan smiled: "Still pretending, my friend told me all your original words at that time, people in the golden age went to buy your comics and animation copyrights, 100 million is too little for you, and they said it was far more than this price, they Then he got angry and complained to me."

Pu Jie froze for a moment, suddenly thought of something.

"The golden age company that came to buy my copyright, you found it?"

"Ah! Yes."

Wei Fan looked like I did my best for you, you should praise me quickly.

Pu Jie: "."

OK!The ghost has been found!

you again!
Wei Fan, Wei Fan, I regard you as my senior and I will pour my heart and soul into helping you promote the TV series.

Is that what you do to me?

If it wasn't for the wit of labor and management who directly turned into a demon Bo Gang to calm down the Qidian group, they would probably have fainted in the toilet by now!
Ten times the manuscript fee crit module is useless!
"Director Wei! You almost caused a catastrophe!"

Wei Fan was taken aback, the hand holding the wine glass froze.
Is it so exaggerated?
"Pu Bian, is it that serious? Didn't it end up being sold?"

Pu Jie was heartbroken: "Senior, what do you say about our relationship!"

"The Epubian has been kind to me for rebuilding. Without the Pubian, I, Wei Fan, would not be where I am today. I have nothing to say to me."

"Then how could you do this to me! I have repeatedly emphasized before, don't sell me the copyright thing, you have done it again and again! "Country Rascal" is fine, it doesn't matter whether it sells or not, this If this "Legend of the Stars" is sold by Qidian, I really have no place to cry."

"Hiss~~ this!"

After thinking about it, Pu Jie decided to put an end to this hidden danger, so as to avoid some accidents when he was planning a new book in the future.

"Director Wei is confused. You see, I sold the copyright of "Legend of the Stars" this time for a full 600 million. You must have heard about the process and bloody storm."

Bi Gan also became interested: "Indeed, I heard it all during that time. There was a lot of noise on Weibo. Your sentence. If criticism is not free, praise is meaningless. It's so touching! I was so excited! !"

Wei Fan: "That's not true! I decided to add Pu Bian's words to the next season of "The Urban Son-in-Law Dragon King 2", and specially designed a plot for this sentence, using this incident as the material, Absolutely beautiful! Cough cough. Pu Bian, you continue to talk, listen."

Pu Jie rolled his eyes at him.

"All of this is actually within my expectations!"

Two people: "Ah!?"

Pu Jie's face almost turned red, but he still insisted and said: "That's right! This is all designed by me, in order to create topics, make people popular, and then raise the price of copyright."

Two people: "I'll go!"

"So, are you helping me? Almost killed me! What if Qidian insists on forcing me to sign the 100 million copyright with them? Am I going to have a falling out with the editor and the copyright department? I Will I stand up and speak for me when something goes wrong? Obviously not! How can I prove my innocence without the support of Qidian? Rejected the purchase of the copyright by Golden Age Company, otherwise the matter would be ruined. Not only would it not be possible to sell the copyright fee of 600 million, but you would also have to be scolded, and no one would read the book. Tell me, did you almost cause a catastrophe! "

Pu Jie talked more and more, and he almost believed it.

He obviously knew the ins and outs of the matter only after he was notified by Qi Dian.

But at this time, in order to prevent Wei Fantian from finding a place behind him with a knife to attack him, he still took it out to pretend.

Wei Fan was stunned.

"I see."

"I didn't expect that there was Pubian's operation behind this incident."

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

Seeing that the effect was achieved, Pu Jie said: "Ham, it's all over. Finally, I got a good result. Director Wei must never help me sell it again. I will wait for the highest score if I accept it. It will only be sold when the price is right.”

"Oh, I see Pubian!"

Wei Fan understood, if the company you introduce cannot offer the highest price in the industry, don't go to him.

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

They will naturally ask for help when the need arises.

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

Pu Jie thought about it, and now he has a few excellent ideas.

It feels like the kind that can catch fire when you send it out.

At that time, the manuscript fee will explode, and the system's anti-addiction regulations will be triggered, and all the money will be sent to Duoyu Company, and then ten times the crit will be withdrawn.

"Well, the subject of the next book has not yet been decided, but this time, I am going to write seriously!"

Wei Fan and Bi Gan were not surprised at all.

For a screenwriter who can write such a good script as "The Man From Earth", what is the level of writing beyond that?
If you don't write seriously, you will become popular.

Can't take off if you write seriously?

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

"cheers!"

"drink!"

"Waiter! Serve the wine!"

"Yuck~~~"

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

Drunken, he found his car and sat in it.

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

"President Pu, where are you going?"

"Go home!"

In the blur, Pu Jie saw from the rearview mirror that the female valet driver in front took off her mask, which looked pretty.

Those red phoenix eyes are especially attractive.
