"Mr. Allen, I received a message..."
"What news?"
"The filming of The Legend of 1900 will be completed in one day. However, before the filming is completed, many countries have already sent cooperation invitations to Yuancheng Company. At the same time, in many public international media, many fans and fans are extremely looking forward to the film... The popularity of The Legend of 1900 in the international arena is simply terrifying. Should we...should we..."
"We what? Do you think you can stop it?"
“…”
“Forget it. We couldn’t even stop the sudden rise of Saw, let alone The Legend of 1900… Lu Yuan is such a formidable opponent!”
…
Evening of August 5th.
It was raining heavily in Hollywood.
The heavy rain took away the unpleasant feeling of stuffiness and brought some comfortable coolness.
Lu Yuan, who had just returned from the crew, stood at the door of the company and watched the heavy rain quietly. When he saw the splashing water in the distance, he felt very excited.
"The Legend of 1900" was finally completed amidst a burst of excited cheers.
Of course, his excitement was not just because "The Legend of 1900" was about to be completed!
What makes Lu Yuan even more excited is that many of the things he invested in before are now starting to make a profit!
Yes!
All of them started to make profits, all of them started to bear fruit, and all of them started to generate revenue!
He received a financial report sent to him by Wang Jinxue.
Wang Jinxue specially marked the income on this financial report in red font.
Of course, after seeing the countless reds on the financial report, Lu Yuan seemed to hear a series of jingling sounds coming from the side...
He calmed himself down and then began to look at the first financial data.
The first total bill for the "remote" live broadcast platform's operation to date has finally been distributed.
Putting aside some operating costs including the share of profits from some well-known anchors, Lu Yuan received nearly 60 million!
Yes, 60 million!
In just a few months, after deducting some taxes and various profits, he can still get 60 million. This in itself is a great surprise for Lu Yuan!
Perhaps 60 million is insignificant to the large Chinese live broadcast platform in the original world.
but……
The original world's live broadcast platform has become fully mature and is in the era of Internet explosion.
In such an era, it can be said that gold is everywhere. As long as you have the ability and the way, making money is not a problem.
But this world?
All right!
These things are just the beginning!
Seeing the number of users increasing every day, Lu Yuan knew that things would get better and better.
and!
The first person to try something new always gets a little bit of preferential treatment.
Currently, there is only one live broadcast platform in the whole of China, which is "Remote".
It is no exaggeration to say that the "remote" live broadcast platform has opened up a new era of live broadcast.
After looking at the various profit-sharing data of the live broadcast platform, Lu Yuan then looked at the next page for data about the "Remote" entertainment company.
The revenue of "Remote" Entertainment Company accounts for the bulk of Lu Yuan's entire group.
One after another.
"The Man From Earth", "Groundhog Day", "Nomadland", "You Are the Apple of My Eye" and so on, these "old movies" were not only released in the United States, but also gradually released in other countries, such as the United Kingdom, France and other small theaters. Although the box office performance was mixed, and a lot of channel operating fees were deducted, the overall total was a considerable amount!
Fifty million dollars!
Yes, these movies directly earned Lu Yuan 50 million US dollars in revenue, which is nearly 400 million RMB!
As for the popular youth film "You Are the Apple of My Eye", it also provided Lu Yuan with 200 million yuan in revenue.
Of course, compared to the big money from movies, the income of "remote" artists is slightly inferior. The income from albums, including various endorsements and program income, adds up to just around 200 million RMB...
Two hundred million yuan is not a lot.
but……
How many serious artists are there in “remote”?
All together, no more than twenty!
Yes.
Although it sounds ridiculous and unbelievable, if you add up all the "remote" entertainment artists in China, including singers and actors, there are no more than twenty of them.
With such a small number of people, leaving aside some necessary expenses and the 50-50 split, they can bring Lu Yuan an income of more than 200 million yuan. This is already quite incredible!
and……
These things are the income of Hua Xia "Remote" Entertainment from the first half of this year to the present seven months!
With such a terrifying income, shouldn’t Lu Yuan be excited?
certainly!
The income from other media including Chaoyang Entertainment News is much less. Although Chaoyang Entertainment News is one of the most famous media in the Chinese entertainment circle, the total profit it brought to Lu Yuan is about 10 million. The comic company also made a profit, but the profit it brought to Lu Yuan was only 2 million...
As for the "remote" gaming companies?
It's a bit of a rip-off.
Although the "Remote" game company is also profitable, it is currently completely self-sufficient. The money earned is still invested in the development of "World of Warcraft". At the same time, Liu is also stroking his gradually bald head day and night to stare at the little progress of "World of Warcraft"...
According to Liu Cixin's prediction, the development of "World of Warcraft" will be officially completed in May next year.
Therefore, if the "remote" game can really bring profits to Lu Yuan, it can only be around May next year!
Of course, Lu Yuan didn’t care about this at all!
because……
The total share of all the shares from these companies, plus the daily income of Hollywood theaters and some other miscellaneous income, the amount in his company's account has once again reached 1.2 billion RMB!
Yes!
1.2 billion RMB, and this is real money!
After spending half an hour carefully looking over these amounts and detailed lists, Lu Yuan suddenly felt suffocated.
Yes!
asphyxia!
He took a deep breath and sat in the office, grinning like an idiot.
At this moment, his happiness index suddenly exploded!
All the so-called rationality, maturity, ideals and ambitions have disappeared completely.
He suddenly felt lost again.
so……
Seems pretty good?
I……
I don’t want to struggle anymore!
Anyway, I have a rich wife, and this money is enough for me to spend for the rest of my life.
Thousands of lazy thoughts suddenly appeared in Lu Yuan's mind, and there were waves of emptiness and comfort in his thoughts.
Of course, this confusion only lasted about twenty minutes.
Twenty minutes later, when the rain outside the window stopped and a ray of sunshine appeared in the sky, Lu Yuan, who was like an idiot, felt dazed for a while.
Everything outside looked brand new after being washed by the heavy rain.
This wave of heavy rain seemed to have washed away everything deep in Lu Yuan's heart.
Finally, Lu Yuan calmed down.
He silently lowered his head and glanced at the cover of "The Biography of Forrest" on the table.
The world's richest man, Forrest, had a confident smile on his face...
Lu Yuan flipped through it subconsciously.
He happened to come across a sentence.
“The wealth in front of you is just the accumulation of the past. You can be happy, but you can’t be proud, because from now on, you have to accumulate future wealth... Thirty-seven years old taught me a painful lesson..." This is what the richest man, Forrest, said in the media when he was thirty-seven years old and his total assets exceeded one billion US dollars.
That year, Forrest's investment in oil failed, and he went from being a billionaire to a poor unlucky man with a heavy load...
It's one billion dollars.
And I have 1 billion RMB...
This gap...
It seems a bit big!
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan fell into silent contemplation.
One billion RMB!
Not to mention in Hollywood, even in China it is nothing...
As far as Lu Yuan can remember, the investment for a movie was 200 million US dollars!
And my own money...
All right!
I can’t even raise enough money to invest in that movie…
After thinking so much, Lu Yuan subconsciously looked at the book "The Biography of Forrest" again.
For some reason, Lu Yuan felt as if there was a ray of light in his life. At the same time, his mentality underwent some subtle changes that he could not even describe.
The world’s richest man…
Um……
It’s really amazing!
At this moment...
“Boom boom!”
"Come in."
"boss……"
"Forrest, what are you holding these things for..."
"Oh, Boss, many national distribution companies hope to obtain our cooperation authorization..."
"What authorization?"
"It's the authorization reservation for "The Legend of 1900". By the way, in addition to "The Legend of 1900", there is also the authorization reservation for "Saw 2"... These include Italy, Spain, Britain, Japan, Thailand... There are more than fifty countries in total!" When Forrest put a thick pile of information on Lu Yuan's desk with excitement and inspiring voice, Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment.
"Are there so many?" Lu Yuan looked at the thick application materials and was a little confused.
"Well... yes, Mr. Lu, our "The Legend of 1900" will become our company's first world-class movie! Leaders of many countries attach great importance to our "The Legend of 1900". After all, how could these countries not pay attention to a movie starring so many world-class pianists! Of course, the bookings for "Saw 2" are much less, after all, this movie is still a banned film in some countries..."
"A world-class movie..." Although Lu Yuan's expression was calm when he heard this, there was an uproar in his heart.
He suddenly remembered a night a few months ago...
He signed Edward and others to star in the movie "The Legend of 1900" without knowing why...
This was totally an accident!
At the same time, he knew that deep down in his heart there was a trace of the desire to take advantage.
but……
He really didn't expect that this movie, which was made by accident, would become a world-class movie!
Yes!
"Boss... um... there is some slightly bad news..."
"What?"
"Due to various cooperation and premiere matters, the release of our "The Legend of 1900" will be slightly delayed..."
"put off?"
"Um……"
“How long is the expected delay?”
"Probably in September, maybe postponed for half a month..."
“…”
…
China.
August 8th.
Lu Yuan’s Weibo has been updated again.
The content of this update makes everyone feel like they have been screwed.
Then……
Everyone's eyes were extremely complicated!
"Ahem, ahem, I have good news and bad news to announce. The bad news is that due to force majeure, the release of our The Legend of 1900 will be postponed for half a month as usual, and will be released on September 1st... The good news is that this force majeure factor means that our The Legend of 1900 will be released worldwide, and we are urgently processing various procedures..."
“…”
“…”
“…”
After seeing this Weibo post, Chinese netizens...
He stopped talking immediately!
Everyone is very excited!
A world class movie!
And it is a movie starring Chinese people.
this……
How many of these are there?
Oh shit!
Oh my god!
Did Er Gouzi pretend to be so powerful without saying anything?
There is very little scolding...
After all, the familiar formula...
Original taste.
How many of the movies that Lu Yuan starred in were released on normal schedule?
They have long been accustomed to it and have already scolded enough people.
But wait!
September?
wrong!
Aren’t there several American blockbusters coming out in September?
"The End of the World" was invested with $150 million, "Transfiguration" was invested with $100 million, and "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" was invested with nearly $200 million!
These……
They are all big-name productions!
The Pianist on the Sea...
What to do?
Are you going to start frontal anal sex?
Oh shit!
That September!
Going crazy!
…
When Chen Feng saw the news about "The Legend of 1900", he was stunned!
Time goes by day by day.
After a series of noises, the Chinese entertainment industry started to become a little weird.
Various cooperation information about "The Legend of 1900" is everywhere.
at the same time……
Wang Xiaoyang seems to be full of aristocratic energy, and the popularity of his album "Wrong, Wrong, Wrong" has hit the headlines...
Chen Feng suddenly realized that August was not a good time to promote the album.
My own album will have to be postponed again.
Maybe……
Will it have to be postponed until October?
Maybe in October, when the popularity of "The Legend of 1900" is over, it would be better for Lu Yuan to be a little quieter?
but……
October...
Will it really be okay?
