Chapter 21 This little brother is too crazy
When Ji Chen came back from brushing his teeth and washing his face, he opened his phone and saw the private message the first thing he did, and contacted Su Yue.
As soon as he contacted the other party, Ji Chen informed them of his intention to learn about the script and the content of the movie.
Compared to the previous film and television company's evasiveness, this company agreed very readily and sent the script and film and television clips to Ji Chen.
He immediately entered the ultimate learning state and read through the script. He was very satisfied with the plot design. Moreover, both the main line and the plot were very consistent with his song "Want to See You".
After reading the script, Ji Chen took the opportunity to eat breakfast and spent about half an hour watching the emotional scenes starring Yi Yang Qianxi and Zhou Dongyu.
And the performances of Yi Yang Qianxi and Zhou Dongyu in the movie did not disappoint him!
After comprehensive consideration, Ji Chen contacted Su Yue again and told her that he agreed to cooperate, but he did not want a buyout, but wanted a share of the profits.
"Ah, this, this, I can't make the decision here. Can you wait for me for a moment? I need to ask Director Zhou."
When Su Yue heard Ji Chen's request, she was so shocked that she could hardly speak!
This little brother!
So crazy!
When Ji Chen heard Su Yue's words, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your reply."
"Um!"
…
After ending the call, Ji Chen noticed Yun Chuan standing beside him with a confused look on his face.
"Old Ji, what are you doing? What share?" Yun Chuan discovered that Ji Chen had suddenly become a little strange in the past two days!
"I'll tell you when I'm done. I need to check something now."
"Hey, tell me—"
"Shut up."
Helplessly, Yun Chuan could only make a zippering motion in front of his mouth.
Ji Chen sat down at the desk and opened the notebook web page.
Although he was going to share the profits, he didn't know much about the film industry, so while he had time, he had to calculate the investment and profit methods of a movie.
If it were the old him, it might take him a long time to study.
But if you turn on the ultimate learning mode, a few minutes will be enough.
…
Kyoto...
Fruit Pictures.
Zhou Songwen, who was originally overjoyed to learn that Ji Chen was willing to sell the copyright to the company, did not keep the smile on his face for more than two minutes. When he heard the assistant's next words, his smile instantly froze and he could no longer sit still.
"What? This guy actually wants a share? Impossible!"
Zhou Songwen's face suddenly changed, and he said sternly, "Even Kyoto's top composer wouldn't dare to make such a request. For a theme song, I'd give him two million at most, so what's the point of sharing it?!"
When Su Yue saw Zhou Songwen's reaction, she subconsciously shrank her neck.
He took two steps back and then continued in a low voice, "Brother... that's what Mr. Ji Chen said. He only wants to sign a profit-sharing agreement..."
When Zhou Songwen heard Su Yue's words, he looked at the little girl in front of him and couldn't help but sigh, with a look of disappointment in his eyes.
It turned out that this little girl was too young and not strong enough, so she was easily controlled by the other party.
However, Zhou Songwen can be said to be very tempted by the copyright of that song.
And they didn't buy this song, but other companies were scrambling to buy it.
After all, this song is extremely popular on Douyin now!
Behind the desk, Zhou Songwen thought for a few minutes before looking at Su Yue and saying, "Give me his contact information and I'll contact him myself."
No matter what, the other party's request was too much, and he felt that he needed to talk to the other party in person.
Su Yue frowned slightly when she heard the boss's words, but still nodded and said, "Okay, Director Zhou, I'll give it to you right away!"
Soon, Zhou Songwen got Ji Chen's phone number and called him.
In the dormitory...
Ji Chen had just finished organizing the information when the phone on the table rang.
"I'm going to take a call."
After greeting Yun Chuan, Ji Chen slid his phone to the answer button.
"Ji Chen, right? Hello, I'm Zhou Songwen, the director of Fruit Pictures."
After all, Zhou Songwen's tone was unprecedentedly polite when it came to buying the copyright from Ji Chen.
"Hello, I'm glad that my work has caught your attention."
Ji Chen also greeted the other party with a smile. After all, this famous director was calling him to give him money.
Soon, after some pleasantries, the two of them got straight to the point.
"Xiao Ji, the main reason I called you was to ask if you're sure you want to sign a profit-sharing agreement with our company. If you're considering a buyout, I can offer you a price 60% higher than the market price."
Hearing Zhou Songwen's words, Ji Chen smiled and said firmly, "Director Zhou, I have decided. If we sign a contract, it will be a profit-sharing contract."
Zhou Wensong still refused to give up and tried to persuade him, "Sign a buyout contract and you'll get 2.1 million right away! If you sign a profit-sharing contract, and my movie loses money after it's released, you might not get a penny!"
"Director Zhou, you don't have to worry about this. It was my own choice." Ji Chen's attitude remained clear.
Zhou Songwen wanted to say something more, but he couldn't say anything.
After all, the other party said so.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Songwen continued to ask, "How much do you want?"
"Not much, 0.5% of the movie's revenue is enough." Ji Chen replied.
He had calculated this share price, and it was very reasonable for both him and Fruit Pictures.
Suppose the box office of this movie is 1 billion.
After deducting miscellaneous taxes, there will still be 910 million left.
Of the remaining 910 million, cinemas took away about half.
There are only more than 400 million left.
The more than 400 million is minus the 50 million cost of production and publicity.
Then he can probably earn around 20 million from this song.
However, this is an algorithm based on a box office of 1 billion.
Ji Chen also analyzed the market feedback from major theater platforms on the movie "Across Time and Space to See You".
The final box office forecast for this movie by major platforms was only 200 million yuan.
Although this prediction has a lot of variables, but when you calculate it this way, the price Ji Chen asked for doesn't seem that outrageous.
After hearing Ji Chen's request, Zhou Songwen thought the same thing, and suddenly he didn't feel so unhappy anymore.
He thought this guy would ask for 20% to 30% of his box office revenue.
If that's the case, no matter how much he likes the song, he has to give it up.
Zhou Songwen didn't think about it for too long before nodding and saying, "Xiao Ji, let's do as you say. I'll prepare the contract and sign it with you as soon as possible!"
Ji Chen laughed heartily and said, "Okay, that's settled! I believe this film will do very well!"
Combining the memories of his previous life with Ji Chen's personal analysis and calculations, he was confident that this movie should be able to sell 500 million at the box office.
Zhou Songwen on the other end of the phone laughed when he heard Ji Chen's words. "Kid, I'm not lying to you. This movie is my first time trying this style, and it's also Xiaoxi's first time transforming. The risk is huge. If you lose money, don't come to me crying."
Zhou Songwen's words were not meant to scare Ji Chen.
This kind of artistic film was also his first attempt.
Many directors have made films like this before, but most of them didn't make much money at the box office. The one with the highest box office revenue only broke 500 million.
However, with Ji Chen's perfect theme song, Zhou Songwen is confident that even if the box office is predicted to be only 200 million, he can still achieve 300 million!
All in all, I earn more than not buying Ji Chen’s copyright!
In the end, the two people who hit it off quickly made the decision!
After ending the call, Zhou Songwen immediately instructed Su Yue, "Xiao Su, draft a profit-sharing contract immediately. I want to sign it with Xiao Ji as soon as possible!"
Su Yue was a little surprised when she heard the boss's order. She stuck out her tongue and said, "Director Zhou, didn't you just say that you don't agree to the profit sharing..."
Su Yue still remembers the look of disappointment in the boss's eyes when he looked at her just now, and how he called her angrily!
Zhou Songwen, who was smiling, reacted instantly after hearing what Su Yue said!
yes!
He originally went to negotiate a buyout!
How come it finally became a component!
Thinking of this, Zhou Songwen suddenly felt embarrassed.
I didn't expect that at my age, I would be controlled by a young guy...
Chapter 22: This guy doesn't want to take her into his arms and make another passionate confession, right?
After Ji Chen dealt with the song copyright issue, he went to the classroom with Yun Chuan'an to attend class.
In the afternoon, the two went to the school to sign up for the martial arts club.
And luckily, a fighting instructor will come to the martial arts club next week. I heard that he is the champion of the last China Fighting Competition!
Ji Chen never expected that such an awesome person would come to the university to serve as a club instructor.
But no matter what, he made a profit this time!
If he could be trained personally by a professional fighting champion, coupled with his ultimate talent for learning martial arts, it would not take long for him to achieve considerable success in fighting!
Delicious——
Yun Chuan, who had nothing to do, also signed up.
He also planned to learn some kung fu, otherwise anyone in the dormitory could push him down, which would be too embarrassing.
After the two of them registered for the club, filled out the information, and learned about the club in general, it was already past three in the afternoon and it was almost time for the elective course, so they couldn't practice today.
So the two of them walked out of the club and went back to the dorm to get the things they needed for class.
Ji Chen still remembered that he had not checked Bai Lianwan's lesson plan for 500 times, so he took it to the classroom.
There were as many people taking elective classes today as usual. Even though there was a performance by a young lady from the neighboring school, Bai Lianwan's elective class was still crowded.
After class...
When everyone saw that amazingly graceful figure walking into the classroom, they instantly felt that they had made the right decision not to look at the girls from the neighboring school.
A pure white long dress reveals the girl's pair of jade-like white and slender legs.
Her long seaweed-like hair fell naturally, making her already snow-white skin look even whiter and more delicate. Her beautiful eyes were as calm as the sea, she had a straight nose, and light red lips. Although she was wearing only a simple outfit, she was still so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her.
Even Ji Chen, who was sitting in his seat, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the figure of the girl on the podium.
I don’t know if he was having an illusion, but why did he feel that Bai Lianwan seemed to be much more beautiful today than before?
Just as this thought popped up in Ji Chen's mind, Yun Chuan beside him also whispered in surprise, "Old Ji, have you noticed that Professor Bai seems to be dressed up today? She never lets her hair down in class before. This is the first time she wears a skirt to class, right?"
When Ji Chen heard Yun Chuan'an's words, he suddenly realized what was going on.
No wonder he also felt that there seemed to be something different about this little girl today. After being reminded by Yun Chuan, he realized that it was indeed the case.
But before Ji Chen could speak, Yun Chu'an touched his chin again and thought, "Professor Bai's behavior today is a bit abnormal. She never dressed up so beautifully in class before. Could it be... that she has someone she likes?"
Thinking of this, Yun Chuan suddenly remembered that when Bai Lianwan walked into the classroom when he first arrived, he glanced at him, and he suddenly realized that he had one of the three major illusions in life.
"Fuck... Professor Bai, could it be that... he's in love with me..."
Ji Chen: “…”
Ji Chen was speechless as he looked at Yun Chuan, who was standing beside him with a look of shock and mad delight.
This guy is too narcissistic. The other person just changed the teaching style. Why does he have to make such a big deal out of it?
Besides, how could a girl like Bai Lianwan, who looks so stubborn, like a man!
Bai Lianwan on the podium has started calling the roll.
"Yun Chuan is safe."
"arrive!"
Yun Chuan, who was sitting in his seat, saw that Bai Lianwan seemed to take the opportunity of roll call to glance at him, and he became even more excited!
In the past, when Professor Bai called the roll, he never looked up at people!
"Old Ji, Old Ji! Professor Bai is looking at me again!"
Ji Chen: “…”
Bai Lianwan finished the roll call and the class had already started.
But there is some confusion in my head.
She didn't know what was going on today, but she couldn't help but want to look at Ji Chen.
And she also felt that Ji Chen's eyes looking at her today seemed a little different from before.
He wouldn't misunderstand that I am wearing such nice clothes today, and that I am wearing them specially for him to see!
She just suddenly wanted to wear a skirt today and let her hair down, but she didn't do it specifically for him to see!
Although she was frantically imagining Ji Chen's thoughts about her, Bai Lian, a genius girl, was still able to teach with clear logic and natural composure. She explained the subject to the students in the simplest and most understandable way, making the most of multitasking.
Ji Chen did not waste this good opportunity. He was in the ultimate learning state throughout the whole class and his eyes never left the girl on the podium.
In his eyes, there is only learning!
…
"Okay, that's all for today's class. Please complete my final assignment as soon as possible and send it to my email. get out of class dismissed."
"Okay, Professor! I'll definitely finish it as soon as possible!"
"Me too, it can be done tonight!"
“I’ll start doing it when I get back!”
…
After hearing Bai Lianwan's arrangement, many male students and a few female students in the classroom nodded quickly and responded positively, including Yun Chuan who was next to Ji Chen.
Faced with the enthusiastic students, Bai Lianwan simply nodded, tidied up the lesson plan on the desk, and walked out of the classroom with her long, beautiful legs.
Ji Chen was also about to leave with Yun Chuan, but after he stood up he realized that he had not yet handed his lesson plan to Bai Lianwan for inspection!
Thinking of this, Ji Chen said hello to Yun Chuan, picked up the lesson plan on the table and hurried out of the classroom.
In the corridor...
Bai Lianwan was holding the lesson plan and preparing to return to the office. Her graceful figure attracted the attention of many passers-by and students. After she walked away, they still looked at her back with envy and whispered to her.
"Professor Bai is even more beautiful and sexy today! I like her so much——"
"It's really so beautiful... Even a girl like me feels so moved."
"If my girlfriend was this type, I wouldn't even go out—"
"Fuck! Yuan Kai, what the hell did you say?"
"Hiss! Bao, why are you here? I didn't see you just now..."
"Die for me!"
…
Ji Chen had already rushed out of the classroom and came to the corridor. Seeing Bai Lianwan's figure, he strode towards her.
"Professor Bai, wait a minute!"
When the latter heard a familiar voice behind him, he subconsciously stopped and his heartbeat inexplicably accelerated.
hateful!
And the get out of class was over, why was this guy still looking for her...
Although she was beginning to feel uneasy in her heart, Bai Lianwan was stunned for a few seconds, but she slowly turned around, raised her eyes, and instantly met Ji Chen's smiling eyes.
The young man stood against the light, his features were delicate and handsome, and her figure was fully reflected in his bright eyes.
Bai Lianwan's heart inevitably trembled violently after all. Everything that had happened between them in the past few days surfaced in her mind again. Two blushes rose on her face. Still, she tried her best to ask calmly, "What's the matter?"
Ji Chen was just about to tell Bai Lianwan about the lesson plan, but his eyes suddenly fell on the girl's hair.
As a person with mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, Ji Chen reached out to Bai Lianwan without thinking.
Bai Lianwan felt Ji Chen's movements and instinctively wanted to take a step back. A hint of panic suddenly appeared in her originally cold and beautiful eyes.
What is this guy doing!
He wasn't planning to be bold and give her a head-patting stunt like in a TV drama, was he?
Or should I hold her in my arms and make a passionate confession of love to her?
Although she appears to be a queen, Bai Lianwan actually watches some romantic soap operas that little girls love to pass the time when she has nothing to do.
So the moment she saw Ji Chen's action, many blushing and heart-pounding scenes instantly appeared in her little head.
But no matter what I think, there are so many students watching here!
If he were to confess or something, the school would go up in flames!
Just when Bai Lianwan's mind was already spinning wildly, she was even thinking about whether she should just throw the other person over her shoulder to stop his impulsive behavior.
Ji Chen had already reached out and placed his hand on her head.
Then, he gently took the fallen leaves from her hair, waved them in front of her eyes, and said with a smile, "There was wind just now, and the leaves blew into your hair."
Bai Lianwan: "..."
Just taking leaves...
She thought...
"If you have something to say, tell me quickly. I'm busy." After realizing what was happening, Bai Lianwan pretended to be indifferent again.
But I don't know why, but my mood suddenly became not so good.
Ji Chen looked at the girl in front of him who looked like a stern little professor, and immediately regained his serious face. He handed the lesson plan in his hand to her and said, "Professor, you forgot, you asked me to copy the lesson plan 500 times, and you haven't checked it yet."
"Okay, I'll take it back and check it out."
After saying that, Bai Lianwan stretched out her little hand, grabbed the lesson plan from Ji Chen's hand, turned around and left.
Ji Chen looked at the girl's back as she walked away, feeling a little confused.
I don’t know if he had some illusion, but he felt that this girl seemed angry?
The problem is that he didn't provoke her!
Even when he took the leaves off her head just now, he tried his best not to touch a single strand of her hair.
Why are you suddenly angry?
It turns out that women are fickle, no matter their age.
