Chapter 409 Large Amount of Credit

Shi Tingyu didn't expect that Gu Yingcheng actually took a fancy to her comic strip and wanted to adapt it into a movie.

Shi Tingyu had no objection to adapting the comic strip into a movie.

Don't miss the opportunity that comes to your door.

But she doesn't refuse anyone who wants to take her copyright. This is a two-way choice.

She is not short of money now, and she has the right and confidence to refuse.

Gu Yingcheng knew that Shi Tingyu didn't object at the first time, so she knew that there was hope.

"Professor Shi, I came with full sincerity. When the time comes, you can participate in the adaptation of the movie script and have a veto."

Shi Tingyu nodded, but did not give in.

Director Gu continued, "You can ask for anything later. We will definitely satisfy you as to the specific copyright fee."

Editor Luo had dealt with Shi Tingyu many times and had some understanding of him. He saw that his old friend did not get to the point except for the first point, and he felt a little helpless.

His old friend was a movie fanatic. He would get excited easily when he encountered something about movies and would forget everything else.

He had reminded him before, but he forgot everything after he met Li Jian and Shi Tingyu.

Shi Tingyu saw the eye contact between Editor-in-Chief Luo and Director Gu, chuckled, and asked, "Director Gu, I know you are very interested in my comic strips, can I ask how the actors in your factory are treated?"

Editor-in-Chief Luo and Director Gu were a little surprised, not knowing what she meant by asking this.

Director Gu told the truth and told them all about the treatment of the actors in the factory,

including the annual festival benefits and so on, without any details.

Shi Tingyu nodded, and then asked, "If a movie shot is very dangerous, but can present a better movie effect, will Director Gu ask the actors to take risks?"

Director Gu shook his head, "We are making a movie, but we will not waste human lives. A shot can have multiple ways of expression. We can always think of other ways. We will not joke with human lives."

"What if it is the life of an animal?" Shi Tingyu pressed on. At

this moment, Editor Luo understood, and Director Gu also understood.

Director Gu told the truth: "Don't worry about that, we will definitely not let Li Jian get hurt."

Shi Tingyu shook her head, "Director Gu, I'm selling the movie copyright of "The Faithful Dog", Li Jian is not included."

Director Gu got anxious when he heard it, "Professor Shi, there is no dog in the world that can compare to Li Jian!"

Shi Tingyu accepted all the compliments from Director Gu on Li Jian, but she was very clear about her refusal.

The reason why she asked if the other party would take the lives of animal actors seriously was because she had seen reports in the future that such lives were not taken seriously.

Although she did not let Li Jian act, she would not take the lives of other dogs lightly.

She knew that if she wanted to play the role of Zhuifeng well, she would need a well-trained dog.

Most well-trained dogs come from the military, and nowadays there are not so many people who raise and train dogs specially. She didn't want to sacrifice a military dog's life in vain because of the movie copyright she sold.

Fortunately, in her comic strip, Zhuifeng didn't have any dangerous scenes, at least explosives didn't appear.

Li Jian turned around and looked at the man who said that no dog could compare to him, with a look of flattery in his eyes.

His head unconsciously raised.

Shi Tingyu was the first to notice Li Jian's pride. She just smiled dotingly and then said to Director Gu: "I know Li Jian is very good, but Li Jian is too closely related to our lives. I can't let it participate in the movie."

Their family simply does not have the time and energy to take Li Jian to Beijing to shoot a movie.

She is also worried about handing Li Jian over to others.

And as she said, Li Jian is too closely related to their family. With their family's position and background, it is not convenient for Li Jian to appear in front of the screen.

The light in Director Gu's eyes gradually dimmed, but Shi Tingyu was very persistent on this point.

Editor Luo saw this and came out to smooth things over, "We can discuss everything. We can always think of a way to have the best of both worlds. Negotiations don't always solve the problem in one go."

After hearing this, Director Gu slowly calmed down and was no longer as anxious as before.

Seeing that the movie issue had not yet come to a conclusion, Editor Luo began to talk to Shi Tingyu about the reprint of "The Loyal Dog".

Shi Tingyu and Editor Luo were both familiar with the reprint.

The number of copies to be reprinted this time is 500,000 for each of the three parts, and a new cover and layout will be prepared. The price of the first two parts will be increased from 50 cents per copy to 60 cents per copy, while the price of "The Loyal Dog 3", which has more content than the first two parts, will be increased directly from 80 cents per copy to 90 cents per copy.

The royalties will still be calculated at the previous 14%.

In fact, this condition is very good nowadays.

Shi Tingyu was not too embarrassed.

The contract was signed quickly.

Shi Tingyu calculated that the first two books earned 42,000 each, and the last book earned 63,000. Shi Tingyu directly earned 147,000 from this reprint.

Editor Luo knew all this, but Director Gu was shocked when he saw it for the first time.

Although he knew that publishing comics should be profitable, he didn't expect it to be so much.

He suddenly lost confidence in his ability to successfully persuade Shi Tingyu.

One comic reprint brings in about 150,000.

There is no personal income tax yet.

The personal income tax law promulgated in September this year is only levied on foreign individuals. The actual collection of personal income tax in China was not until September 1986. At that time, the income of citizens had changed greatly, and the country began to collect personal income adjustment tax in China.

So at this time, Shi Tingyu's income was all his own.

This time, Father Lu saw the speed at which his daughter-in-law made money.

He felt that he could live a life of ease by drawing three comic books.

Originally, Shi Tingyu had more than 320,000 yuan left after buying the gallery. In the past few months, with the operation of the gallery and wages, the savings on hand now exceed 400,000 yuan.

Including this income, her total savings now is 556,000.

Now it really feels like there is endless money to spend.

In this era, consumption is restricted. Cars, houses and other things that are high-consumption in the future have not been opened to the market at this time. Just eating and drinking alone is really endless.

In the future, workers will only find that things are constantly rising in price, money is not worth it, but wages have not increased.

The purchasing power of money at this time is not comparable to that of the future.

After sending away Editor-in-Chief Luo and Director Gu, Shi Tingyu threw herself into her own career again, and didn't take the filming of the movie to heart at all.

It's just that she didn't take it to heart, but Director Gu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

If he didn't know that Shi Tingyu was not short of money and didn't like to receive gifts, he would have wanted to give her a gift.

Luo Shucheng couldn't wait any longer. He had things to do in Beijing and had to go back as soon as possible.

But when Director Gu saw that he wanted to leave, he grabbed him. If he left, his already embarrassing situation would become even more embarrassing.

Finally, Luo Shucheng simply advised: "Don't even think about asking Li Jian to film a movie. I know a little about Professor Shi. Judging from her expression at the time, this matter should not be negotiable. Instead of worrying here, you might as well think about finding other dogs to act."
