Chapter 75: I got a commercial performance, 50,000 per show
…
"Chinese Paladin III, as I recall, this seems to be a stand-alone game from Taiwan, right?"
"Tangren had previously adapted the TV series of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1, which seemed to be quite successful and made Hu Ge famous!"
"Tangren is a company that is good at making period dramas. Many of the team members are elites recruited from Taiwan and Hong Kong."
"Since you want to film Chinese Paladin III, I'll ask for you later."
Li Songqiang found that Lu Feng was very purposeful in doing things, had his own ideas, and spoke with particular confidence.
Just now, given the two projects of "Night Club" and "Love Call Transfer 2", if it were other artists, they would probably choose the latter with their eyes closed.
After all, the latter already has the fame of the first part and is more likely to attract attention.
However, Lu Feng thought that the latter seemed like a money-making project... Li Songqiang had just met Wang Shan, and Mr. Wang said the same thing.
However, this kind of money-making project is for risk-free arbitrage.
Shanghai Film Group will definitely invest in such a project that is obviously profitable.
This kind of project is a good profit point for the group, but for an actor like Lu Feng, it doesn't mean much.
On the contrary, Ms. Wang said that the project "Night Club" is very innovative and has certain innovations in the subject matter, and may be able to achieve great success... However, she is not sure whether this new type of movie can be successful.
As a qualified leader, she would not personally take part in such an uncertain project.
Therefore, Shanghai Film Group will not personally take part in the "Night Club" project to avoid losses, which she would not be able to explain at the group meeting.
However, she can use the subsidiaries under the group to invest a little to show her support.
Li Songqiang was very surprised that Lu Feng could see through the fancy surface and directly see the essence of these two projects.
He felt that his company seemed to have signed a genius.
As for the "Legend of Sword and Fairy III" project, Li Songqiang didn't think it was that great. If he personally took action, he would definitely be able to bring good news to Lu Feng.
Boss Cai, he, and Mr. Wang are all on the same line of work.
You help me today and I will help you tomorrow.
Sometimes, this is what circle connections are all about.
"By the way, Lu Feng, I've arranged a few commercial performances for you."
"During Christmas and New Year's Day, there are several shopping malls opening in Shanghai, all near your school, and each one will give you 50,000."
"Originally, there were a lot of commercial performances on Valentine's Day... But considering that you were still at home celebrating the New Year during those days, I didn't accept any work for you."
Li Songqiang doesn’t care much about 50,000 per game.
Because Daolang makes 500,000 per performance when he goes out for commercial performances!
If he helps Daolang take one match, it is equivalent to helping Lu Feng take 10 matches!
In his opinion, Lu Feng’s current commercial performance price is too low and does not fit his market positioning of Lu Feng.
His top priority is not to get commercial performances for Lu Feng, but to help Lu Feng quickly increase his status... When Lu Feng can make 300,000 per show, that will be enough.
"Uncle Li, I'm sorry to bother you."
Commercial performances are really profitable, 50,000 per show. With three days of holidays on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day, Lu Feng estimates that he can make 200,000 in a week.
The agency takes 30%, which is still a lot!
The speed at which he makes money is much faster than his hard work in acting!
Li Songqiang waved his hands, looking somewhat guilty: "I am sorry for you. If I knew that you also had the talent to write novels, I would not agree to 50,000 per show."
When he helped Lu Feng take the job, he had no idea that the novel Lu Feng wrote would become so popular.
Now, Lu Feng is not only a singer and an actor, but also a young writer... The three halos combined, especially the halo of a young writer, have almost doubled Lu Feng's commercial value.
The two chatted for a while, and Li Songqiang saw that it was almost time, so he asked Lu Feng to go back and rest.
"Uncle Li, do you want me to arrange some paid items to entertain you?"
"Get lost."
Li Songqiang laughed and scolded Lu Feng a few words, telling him not to stay in the crew and learn bad things from those old foxes. With his hardware conditions, he would have fun in the future and should not waste his time on those vulgar women.
…
The next few days.
Li Songqiang stayed in Hengdian and helped Lu Feng contact several publishing houses.
After discussions, it was finally decided to sign Lu Feng's novel to Su Province Literature and Art Publishing House.
The other party was very optimistic about Lu Feng's novel and decided to make great efforts to promote it. The first print run was 200,000 copies, and after proofreading was completed, it would be on the market within a month.
Extremely efficient.
This is exactly the kind of efficiency that Li Songqiang wants.
How much does it cost to write a novel?
His superstar plan is to make it into a movie, which will double Lu Feng's commercial value and increase the copyright of his songs as well.
"Lu Feng, hurry up and write a theme song for this novel."
The novel has been signed with a publishing house and judging by its current popularity online, it will soon become a bestseller. If it were any other writer, they would probably just go home and lie down, waiting for the text message notification sound of their payment.
But Lu Feng is not only a novelist, but also a singer-songwriter!
Now that the novel is so popular, if we can release a theme song, this song won’t require much publicity and will probably become popular all over the Internet overnight.
"Uncle Li, I'll go back and think about it."
Lu Feng nodded in agreement.
There is no need to think about it, because this novel comes with its own theme song "So Many People in This World", but Lu Feng can't quite remember the musical score and lyrics.
I have to recall it carefully.
"By the way, you should be careful recently and don't have any scandals with the actresses in the crew."
Netizens are very powerful. In just a few days, they dug out all of Lu Feng’s background.
I am a freshman at Shanghai Theatre Academy, a student of Daolang. I have a girlfriend at school who is a descendant of Kunqu Opera and the fifth generation Du Liniang.
Now, netizens regard Li Xiaoqin as the real-life Ling Yiyao, the heroine that Lu Feng can’t help but fall in love with.
If Lu Feng had a scandal with an actress in the crew at this time, would anyone still buy the novel?
If it were made into a movie, would anyone still watch it?
…
That evening.
Lu Feng was at home thinking about the song "There Are So Many People in This World", the simple score, and some lyrics.
He had heard this song several times.
Unlike "The Guest", for a while, he practiced every day.
"There are so many people in this world, and there is an open door in the crowd, which lives forever in my misty eyes..."
Lu Feng hummed briefly and then played some guitar accompaniment, and roughly determined that this song was best in the key of C, with 44 beats and a tempo of 72.
"Yeah, that's about it. That's the feeling."
Lu Feng tried hard to recall for a while and finally figured out the lyrics. Then, he spent another hour to figure out the musical notation.
After all, he was a graduate of a serious music college and had studied composition. Even though he had forgotten some parts of the melody, he was able to fill it in with his basic skills.
After going back and forth for a long time, he finally finished the song.
