Countercurrent Xiangjiang giants

Chapter 120 116 Million Sales

The summer in Xiangjiang is very hot and a little stuffy. This is a difficult season. The air conditioner in the room is on, and the air-conditioning dispels the stuffy heat.

When Lin Chu woke up, the smell of chestnut blossoms was wafting. Fortunately, his mouth and nose were filled with the smell of Lan Jieying's body, which had a faint fragrance and smelled very good.

Guan Zhiying was still asleep, having been tossed about last night, he got up to tidy up, Lan Jieying also woke up, helped him dress, and was stopped by him when he was going to cook noodles for him.

"You can sleep with Guan Guan for a while, I'll just go out to eat." Lin Chu said softly.

Lan Jieying kissed him on the cheek, and he avoided him when she wanted to kiss him. The smell of chestnut flowers made him really not want to get close.

"Brother Chu, I still have commercials to shoot in the past two days, and Guan Guan also has commercials to shoot. Sister Chen said that she has picked up a new movie for us, and we may all go to the production team."

Lan Jieying said softly, Lin Chu thought for a while and said, "Don't take this movie after the filming is finished. After "Happy Ghost" is released, your film salary will definitely increase greatly. It is not worthwhile to take the movie now."

"Okay, let me tell Guan Guan, we all listen to brother Chu." Lan Jieying nodded and straightened his clothes for him.

After tidying up, Lin Chu had breakfast downstairs, and then went directly to the company.

Today he is going to meet with Lei Juekun to talk about overseas distribution, which really needs to be implemented.

Fatty Deng swayed into the company, and said cheerfully, "Is the boss so early every day?"

"Aren't you early too? By the way, the Japanese dubbing artist is coming next month. You are in charge of receiving it. If the recording is made, arrange it at Dark Horse Records."

Lin Chu asked, and Fatty Deng nodded: "Don't worry, the boss, leave it to me! By the way, we have to go to Princess Jin's side in a while. I heard that they are planning to prepare a film company now, and Mecca is sure to join."

"Mecca?" Lin Chu was taken aback. Could it be that New Art City is about to be established?

This seems to be a few months ahead of schedule. It seems that Lei Juekun is planning to bet on multiple parties. Although Shuangmu Films and Princess Jin are still in the honeymoon period and there is no conflict, Lei Juekun will not bet on him. on a person.

He squinted his eyes. It is estimated that the cooperation with Princess Jin will become more and more difficult in the future, but for him, this is also expected. After all, the number of independent film companies will increase.

Then he has only one way, and he still has to set up his own theater chain in the end, but this requires a lot of money, and he doesn't have enough money.

Fatty Deng said softly from the side: "Mecca and Hong Jinbao formed Garbo Films before, and many filmmakers joined, including Shi Tian, ​​Huang Baiming and others, but they separated this year.

Mecca, Huang Baiming, and Ishida became independent, and cooperated with Princess Jin. Hong Jinbao returned to Golden Harvest. I heard that a new film company was established, called Baohe Films. "

This is consistent with the development of history, Lin Chu nodded, and then said softly: "We will go to Princess Jin at nine o'clock, you go and prepare first."

After finishing speaking, he went back to the office, and just sat down, the phone rang, and when he picked it up, John’s voice sounded: “Lin, this is John, you have won the Hugo Award, this time the award will be held in Hawaii, on August 8th, remember Come early, I will pick you up."

"Then will you reimburse the air ticket?" Lin Chu asked.

John took a breath: "God! Lin, you can't do this! You are a rich man, and you asked me to help you find a house in Beverly Hills last time, but now you care about air tickets, what a businessman!"

"I'm just kidding." Lin Chu smiled, and then sighed: "Actually, I don't have any expectations for the Hugo Award. It's just an honor, but there is no bonus, and I have to pay four dollars a year." The ten-dollar membership fee is not worth it."

John said seriously: "Lin, you can't do this calculation. You won the award, which can increase the sales of the book. This is the Nobel Prize for science fiction. Can it be measured by money?"

"Because I need money now." Lin Chu responded, and then changed the topic: "How is my "Harry Potter" selling? Can I settle the manuscript fee in advance?"

John exclaimed: "Lin, this novel is selling really well. When the first book is online, the sales in the United States may exceed one million copies. You should be the winner of the Hugo Award next year.

According to the 18.00% royalty, you can get 500 US dollars in royalties for selling a book, and the first book is [-] million US dollars in royalties. "

"John, let's arrange the second and third volumes. I'm already writing the fourth one. When I get to America, I'll bring it to you myself!"

Lin Chu was very excited. For him, if he settled all the manuscript fees, he should be able to raise more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars. Now he can buy Li's TV station.

John replied: "Don't worry, we will hurry up the schedule, but if you finish "Harry Potter", will you still write a new book?"

"Of course, I already have an idea." Lin Chu replied.

John laughed: "God, Lin, you are really my muse... Oh, no, you are really my God of Wealth."

"Then try to transfer the manuscript fee as soon as possible. I am in a hurry to spend the money." Lin Chu said seriously.

John took a breath: "Oh, it's not cute, it's a businessman...but I can fight for you."

Lin Chu ignored him, put down the phone, thought about it, and lowered his head to write "Harry Potter". This is the most important thing for him now. Yuan Tianfan has already gone to the UK to negotiate the acquisition of the TV station, so he has to get the money get ready.

However, this kind of negotiation is not something that can be resolved in a day or two. He still has time, so this time he goes to the United States, he plans to use his spare time to make a movie.

The cost of this movie must be low, and it must have a certain box office. It is best to have a good reputation. For example, "This Killer Is Not So Cold" is good, but the shooting cycle will not be too short.

Lin Chu is still looking for a suitable film. He plans to create a script before going to the United States, and then find actors there. He doesn't need a famous actor, just about the same, so he can save money.

When the knock on the door sounded, Fatty Deng's voice sounded: "Boss, it's time for us to go."

"Come right away." Lin Chu responded, got up and walked out, Lin Shanshan stood beside him, and he nodded: "Shanshan, are you okay?"

Lin Shanshan replied: "No, there are only a few reports that need to be signed by the boss. There is no need to worry about it when the boss comes back."

"Okay, call me on the pager if you need anything." Lin Chu responded.

The two left the company, Fatty Deng drove by himself, Lin Chu got into Pingzhi, Gao Wu started the car and left, and went to the Golden Princess Theater.

Lin Chu was thinking about some of Lei Juekun's possible demands and how to deal with them.

In any case, with the establishment of New Art City, Lei Juekun's center of gravity should be tilted to that side, so he had to make plans early.
