The total box office of "Detective Chinatown" is 1.023 billion, according to the contract before the movie was released.

After deducting the share from theaters and promoters, the final producer can get a total of 35%, a total of 358 million yuan.

[Wei Mingxia] accounts for 70% of the investment and has an income of 250 million yuan.

The money will be transferred to Gu Wei's corporate account through China Film's account within 3 months.

After repaying the copyright mortgage loan from Bank of Communications, there is still 210 million left.

After investing 49 million yuan, it increased five times in more than a year and earned more than 200 million yuan.

This return ratio is not bad, but of course it is incomparable with the income from investing in [ByteDance] and buying and selling Bitcoin.

But in addition to monetary gains, through this film, Gu Wei's company has established a firm foothold in the film and television industry, and has cooperative relationships with China Film, Enlight, and Wanda, which will play a vital role in future development.

Gu Wei's own benefits from fame are extremely huge.

As a star, fame is wealth.

Early the next morning, Gu Wei carefully climbed out of Zeng Li's bed.

He did not disturb the sleeping beauty.

After the celebration party last night, Zeng Li winked at him as he left, so Gu Wei, who was the last to leave, drove directly to the downstairs of Sister Li's house.

How could he not be satisfied with the eldest sister's invitation?

Gu Wei is convinced that he is the person who truly understands his sister.

One word, Run~

I walked out of the room, tidied myself up briefly, opened the refrigerator to see if there was anything I could make breakfast with.

After a while, when Zeng Li walked out of the bedroom wearing sexy pajamas and gasping for breath, he saw Gu Wei wearing an apron and making breakfast in front of the restaurant.

When I walked over, I saw eggs, hot milk, bread, and a plate of vegetable salad on the table.

A bright smile appeared on Zeng Li's face. This scene brought her more spiritual satisfaction than the physical stimulation last night.

In her opinion, Gu Wei's existence was simply perfect.

He has a handsome appearance, a young and strong body, a gentle personality and knows how to care about others, and most importantly, he is extremely talented.

"It's done, go brush your teeth and let's eat together."

Gu Wei looked at her and said with a smile.

After a while, the two of them sat down and started eating the early morning love breakfast.

"Sister Li, has the filming of the TV series in Jinmen been finished?"

"It's coming soon. It will be completed in more than half a month."

"Then what's your next plan?"

"I've been approached by several scripts, some with female supporting characters and some with female leads."

As she said this, she put down the bread in her hand and said with a little emotion

"Gu Wei, thank you very much for asking me to film "Detective Chinatown". After the success of the movie, many crews approached me.

It feels like my career is getting a second lease of life. "

"Sister Li, what else can we talk about about our relationship~"

He picked up the milk, took a sip, licked his lips, and then rolled his eyes

"Um~ If you insist on thanking me"

He stood up and bent down to say something in Zeng Li's ear.

After Gu Wei finished speaking, he sat down and continued eating. Zeng Li just smiled after hearing his words and said nothing. He looked at Gu Wei with gentle eyes, the meaning of which was self-evident.

After breakfast and being affectionate with Sister Li for a while, Gu Wei came to the company.

"Mr. Gu, Director Tian has arrived.

Waiting in the reception room. "

As soon as she arrived at the company, Yang Liwen came up and said.

It seems that Tian Xiaopeng is really anxious. It is estimated that the crew will not be able to get any money.

Gu Wei didn't waste any time and went directly to the reception room.

"Director Tian, ​​I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."

"No, Mr. Gu, I came too early."

"Director Tian is so impatient, I won't talk nonsense. Let's watch the movie first."

Several people came to a small screening room in the company.

As the scale of [Wei Tianxia] company has expanded, after renting an entire floor of the office building, the available space in the company has been greatly expanded, making it look more like a large company.

I followed Tian Xiaopeng and watched the clips from the animated movies he brought.

Gu Wei was relieved. It was basically the same as the "Return of the Great Sage" he had watched in his original time and space, but it was a little rough and the story was incomplete.

After the screening, Director Tian Xiaopeng was still waiting anxiously for Gu Wei's reply.

"Director Tian, ​​how much investment does it take to complete the production of [The Return of the Great Sage]?"

Gu Wei's words were like the sound of nature in Tian Xiaopeng's ears.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said

"RMB 40 million has been invested in the production of this film. I estimate that in order to complete the film and achieve the effect I want, at least another 20 million will be invested."

Seeing that Gu Wei didn't reply, Tian Xiaopeng hurriedly said, "It's really not possible. I'll do less rendering in the later stage. 15 million should be enough."

Hearing this, Gu Wei raised his head and looked at Tian Xiaopeng

"Director Tian, ​​your film is very good, it gave me a different kind of shock. I have never seen a domestic animated film produced to this level.

I invested 20 million. Don’t save any money later. If you don’t have enough money, come to me again and I can continue to invest more. "

"Thank you, Mr. Gu, for supporting domestic animated films."

Seeing that the investment was obtained so easily, Tian Xiaopeng still had some unreal feelings in his heart, and then he felt huge gratitude to Gu Wei.

It was enough to have a confidant in life, and he felt that at this moment, Gu Wei was his confidant, Tian Xiaopeng, and the confidant of the domestic animated film.

With financial support, I can finally fulfill my dream of many years.

Subsequently, under Zhao Mingcheng's arrangement, the company signed an investment agreement with director Tian Xiaopeng.

The first investment of 5 million will be transferred to the crew's account in the next few days, and the rest will be transferred in two batches of 5 million and 10 million within 3 months.

"By the way, Director Tian, ​​I heard that there is a young director named 'Dumpling' in your animated film industry. He has an animation studio called 'Dumpling Keli'."

After signing the contract, Gu Wei shook hands with Tian Xiaopeng and pretended to ask casually.

"Mr. Gu, you are talking about Yang Yu, right? His studio is called 'Diao Keli'."

Tian Xiaopeng replied immediately.

"I've seen his animated movie [Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon] before. I thought it was very interesting. Wouldn't it be convenient for Director Tian to introduce it?"

Gu Wei asked with a smile.

"No problem, Mr. Gu, I'm very familiar with Yang Yu. I'll send you my contact information later, and then I'll tell him again."

After receiving the investment, Tian Xiaopeng's whole person became brighter, and he was no longer as cautious and depressed as he had been at the beginning.

"Then thank you, Director Tian."

Gu Wei smiled even happier.

‘Dumpling’ Yang Yu is the director of the original time and space [Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World], and his studio ‘Dumpling Keli’ is also the predecessor of Coco Bean Animation, the producer of [Devil Boy].

However, they are still unknown, just a small animation studio with a few employees.

Before the success of the domestic animated film "Journey to the West: The Return of the Monkey King", many people in the industry were still doing it for love, because they would most likely lose money.

No one thinks highly of domestic animated movies, and no audience pays for them.

It wasn't until "Monkey King" sold 956 million at the box office that domestic film and television companies suddenly discovered that animated movies could also sell so much money.

So everyone invested money in development, and a series of domestic animated films such as "Devil Boy", "Jiang Ziya", and "Yang Jian" will appear on the market.

It can be said that "The Return of the Great Sage" has truly opened up the domestic animated film market and revitalized the entire animated film production industry.

After seeing Tian Xiaopeng off, Gu Wei called Zhao Mingcheng to the office.

"Here are the contact information, please contact this Dumpling animation studio.

The boss’s name was Yang Yu, and he told him that we would invest 100 million to shoot a Chinese animated blockbuster.

Ask him if he would be willing to bring the studio team on board.

You register a new animation company, and in the future animated films will be produced under the name of the new company.

Tell Yang Yu that if he is willing to join the new company with his team, as a technical talent, he can be given 10% of the shares. "

After thinking for a moment, Gu Wei said again.

"Tell him about our investment in [The Return of the Great Sage], and don't let people think of us as liars."

"Understood, Mr. Gu, I'll take care of it right away. With our generous terms, I believe he has no reason to refuse."

After Zhao Mingcheng left, Gu Wei spent a while in the office looking at some of the company's accounts sheets handed over by his assistant.

After watching for a while, agent Yang Liwen knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Gu, several of the brands you endorsed last year are about to expire, and they all called us to inquire about renewing their contracts.

Some other brands have also come to us and plan to ask you to be their spokesperson. "

Yang Liwen said, taking out a stack of paper and handing it to Gu Wei.

I took a look and found detailed information about the manufacturers and products he was seeking to endorse, as well as quotes for his endorsement fees.

"How did you quote the price for the ones last year?"

At the beginning of 2013, Gu Wei signed endorsement contracts with five brands: Colgate, Semir, Joyoung Soymilk, Liushen, and Rejoice. At that time, Gu Wei was just starting out. After filming "Xiu Chun Knife", it ended up being a hit, and he was somewhat famous in the circle. .

The average endorsement fee from the five companies was less than 2 million, and Gu Wei signed for one year.

Although the money is small, Gu Wei is quite satisfied with the brands he endorses.

They are mainly old brands, and the quality of their products has stood the test. There is no need for the spokesperson Gu Wei to take the blame for the products. After the endorsement, apart from taking some promotional photos and short advertising videos, he usually has nothing to do and makes money easily. .

“The offer is basically between 5 million and 7 million a year, and if you sign for two years, you can negotiate up to 15 million.

When new manufacturers come to us, they basically give us this price. If they are lower than this, I will directly reject them. "

Yang Liwen said excitedly.

"Mr. Gu, your current market price of endorsement fees is already very close to the price of domestic first-tier stars."

Gu Wei turned over the list in his hand and looked up at the agent.

‘Where are we now? When the so-called ‘Four Returned Sons’ come back at the end of this year, domestic entertainment will usher in the traffic era, and celebrity endorsement fees will continue to rise. ’

“Those companies from last year can continue to cooperate, these companies can join in, and forget about the others.

The endorsement contract is still signed for one year. "

Gu Wei read through them all, took out a few and handed them to Yang Liwen.

The new endorsements are Lay's potato chips, Yida chewing gum, Baicaowei, Master Kong iced black tea, Mosen glasses, and Bosideng, several well-known brands.

"After signing the contract, we will discuss with the manufacturer. It is best to shoot the advertisement in Shanghai."

After deciding on the endorsement deal with his agent, Gu Wei took a flight back to Shanghai that night.

Although Gu Wei is not here, Yang Liwen, as the agent, has his personal authorization and can sign the endorsement contract on his behalf.

The 11 endorsement companies received a total of 65 million yuan in endorsement fees.

This is because Gu Weiyou selected the best and passed away many small factories that seemed to have a lot of money but no reputation.

Moreover, he signed a one-year contract. Stars in the industry usually sign endorsement contracts for two years. Manufacturers are willing to bet on the star's subsequent development, and the star is also willing to earn more money at a time.

Therefore, as long as Gu Wei relaxes his requirements a little, one small goal at a time will no longer matter.

These are the benefits that the growing reputation of "Tang Detective" has brought to him after its release.

The income of this money, coupled with the subsequent receipt of the box office proceeds of "Detective Tang", will make Gu Wei Company's cash flow extremely abundant.

He also has to consider some other investments or consumption.
