Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 359 1000 million commercials

Sure enough, only two days later, Masaki Otake of Canon contacted Yu Dongqing's studio again. After bargaining, the two parties finally signed an agreement: Canon purchased the microfilm "Leave Me" at a price of 1000 million yuan.

not bad.
Made 1000 million with almost no cost.

Yu Dongqing was very satisfied.

Of course, the money cannot be given to myself alone.

It doesn't matter if the film is not commercialized and does not make money. Now that it makes money, the people who participated in the filming must be paid, even though it was a friendly performance at the time.

The crew members are 30 yuan each, and the three close friends, Mingmei and her father are [-] yuan each. Of course, this is before tax, and the personal income tax has to be paid by itself.

Yu Dongqing took his daughter home at night and rushed to Yanzi Hutong in Houhai. The old couple was watching TV in the living room, and he told the story.

"What? 1000 million?!"

Liu Huiyan was dumbfounded.

Just a movie of about 5 minutes, actually earning 1000 million? !
But it's a really good movie
Liu Huiyan also shed tears while watching.

Hey.
Her son-in-law is so capable, of course she is happy.

But when I think of Meimei.

I couldn't stop sighing inwardly.

The more talented Yu Dongqing is, the more attractive she is.

What should I do for my mother?

Ming Hanwen didn't think much about it. Of course Yu Dongqing was happy to earn 1000 million, but when he heard that he was going to give him 30, he suddenly felt a little ashamed.

Just took a few shots by myself and earned 30 in half a day? !
This... This money is too easy to earn, right?

Seeing that Ming Hanwen didn't speak, Yu Dongqing thought it was a small amount of points, so she tentatively said, "Dad, do you feel that you are a bit short? Then give you more, I mainly consider it"

"Enough, enough!" Ming Hanwen hurriedly said, "Did you tell Meimei? Make her happy too!"

"I'm telling you first, I'll call her now before I call her." Yu Dongqing took out her phone after speaking.

It's [-]:[-] noon in London now, and not long after lunch, Mingmei was wandering around the campus with Elena.

It is the beginning of June, which is the summer in London. The campus is full of trees, hidden in quaint buildings, which is very interesting.

The two were walking aimlessly, when the bright cell phone rang suddenly, seeing that it was Yu Dongqing calling, a smile appeared on her face immediately.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing?

"At your house, ready to pick up Tongtong." Yu Dongqing replied: "I have something to tell you."

Yu Dongqing briefly talked about the 1000 million transfer of the film copyright of "Leave Me" negotiated with Canon, including the remuneration for everyone.

"Wow brother-in-law, you are really amazing." Mingmei smiled happily.

"I'll get 30 to your card, and I won't tell you to take it easy, anyway, you're not short of money." Yu Dongqing joked.

Now she is also a little rich woman.

The two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Seeing Mingmei's excited face after answering the phone, Ai Lilian next to her hurriedly asked, "Mingmei, who is calling, I hope it makes you happy."

"My brother-in-law's, his micro-movie earned 1000 million yuan!" Mingmei told Elena briefly what happened.

"Wow, as I said a long time ago, the commercial value of this microfilm is definitely not only worth 5000 euros! I didn't expect Canon to be so generous!" Ai Lilian sighed in surprise.

"It's mainly because my brother-in-law did a good job!" Mingmei emphasized.

"I know your brother-in-law is talented and capable!" Ai Lilian said with a smile: "I like your brother-in-law more and more!"

"You?!" Mingmei rolled her eyes.

But she also knew that her best friend was just joking.

The two teased for a while, and Elena suddenly thought of a question: "Mingmei, your brother-in-law sold the movie rights to Canon, so that means he won't be able to participate in the Venice Film Festival in August."

It turned out that after seeing the popularity of this microfilm at the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival in France, Mingmei planned to make persistent efforts and participate in the Venice International Film Festival at the end of August.

This is more prestigious than the Clermont-Ferrand Film Festival!
As a result, Yu Dongqing has now sold the copyright of the film to Canon, which means that she has no right to participate in the film.

This is a little tricky.

Mingmei hurriedly called and told Yu Dongqing about it.

"Brother-in-law, I still want this short film to shine at the Venice Film Festival." Mingmei was a little distressed.

This one.
Yu Dongqing thought for a while: "Well, I'll contact Canon tomorrow to see if they agree to let us continue to take this film to the competition."

"Yes, yes, they will definitely agree! This is to promote their company's products." Mingmei also said with a smile.

Sure enough, Yu Dongqing asked Yang Liu to contact Canon Yanjing Company to explain the reason, and the other party readily agreed:

I agree with Yu Dongqing to continue to participate in this film, but there is a prerequisite: Canon LOGO must be clearly displayed on the camera close-up shot in the modified film!

Yu Dongqing knew that the other party would use this as an argument, but she agreed.

After all, the other party offered 1000 million!

After obtaining the authorization, Yu Dongqing took the shot, then re-edited it and sent it to Mingmei after a short time.

Films participating in the Venice Film Festival must provide subtitles in Italian or English, but this is not an issue for Mingmei.

My friend is Italian.

Time passed so lightly.

It's July now, it's midsummer.

In the past few months, Yu Dongqing has done almost nothing other than making a micro movie. She picks up her daughter, occasionally goes to Liu Yimin's tavern, and a few friends go fishing. Her life is leisurely and simple.

But now I am facing one thing, that is, my daughter Yu Tongtong is coming for summer vacation again, clamoring to go abroad.

"I'm going to find my aunt! We have already agreed that I will go to England to play with her after the summer vacation!" The little girl plausibly said.

Because Mingmei is on vacation again.

This time it's summer vacation, but Mingmei can't go back to China immediately because she has to participate in the shooting of a film, which is also one of her vacation assignments.

Yu Dongqing didn't agree to her daughter's request at first, but then she thought, let's go out.

As my daughter grows up, it's good to see more of the world.

Besides, after being cooped up at home for a few months, Boss Yang of Liancun Pucun Tea House invited him to drink Mingqian tea in Hangzhou, but he politely declined, mainly because he was not in a good mood.

Slowly, it's back to normal now.

One cannot always recall the past.

It can't be like the hero of the movie "Leave Me".

Life is short, we should cherish the present moment.

The past is not to be discarded, but should be kept in memory.

Yu Dongqing obtained a passport for her daughter Yu Tongtong, and at 7 am on July 11, the two boarded a plane to London.

　Thanks to ghxs for the monthly pass
