Chapter 156 Great, You Are the Traitor Again!

It's just the three of them tonight.

I didn’t call her a girl either.

Pu Jie was slightly relieved. He, the pure love god of war, really couldn't adapt to that kind of situation.

He is quite comfortable with this kind of thing.

"Pu Bian! I've been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come to the Waiter!"

"Give my brother a drink of Depth Bomb for an appetizer!"

Pu Jie didn't understand this, so he naturally agreed with a smile.

Today I came here to drink and have fun, so naturally I should be more relaxed.

After the three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, they started chatting over a small drink.

The hustle and bustle, sway, and hormones inside became the backdrop for the three of them.

The place Wei Fan chose was a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle. It was perfect for admiring the unrestrained dancing of the young people below while drinking and chatting.

Bi Gan said: "Editor Pu, our crew of "The Man from Earth" has finished filming. All filming has been completed. Teacher Chen Mingdao's performance is amazing! It's really a masterpiece! I didn't wait for his two-month schedule in vain. This film brings Master Chen Mingdao’s dialogue skills to the extreme. I can’t imagine if he hadn’t come here, which actor would I have chosen to film your script? Fortunately, it’s not a disgrace!”

"Okay! As long as the filming goes well, when will it be released?"

Pu Jie is more concerned about this film because he wants to get 10% of the box office share!

It’s already pretty good to get such a large share of the shares from the script investment.

You know, for movies released in theaters, the theater will get 50% of the box office share.

Theater chains take another 7%.

The producers and distributors only take 43% of the box office.

The distributor is responsible for the promotion and sale of the film, negotiating with theaters, etc. to ensure the film's schedule and early advertising.

They also have to divide the box office between 10 and 15%, and take the middle number of 13%.

Then the producers can only get 30% of the box office revenue.

Pu Jie is considered to be 1/3 of the producer, and if he invests in the script, he will get 10%.

The remaining 20% ​​is for other producers and directors.

The investment for this movie is relatively small, only more than one million.

Pu Jie was too cash-strapped at the time to invest money. In the end, Bi Gan paid for the film himself.

Chen Mingdao was given a salary of 300,000 yuan, plus 3% of the box office share.

That is to say, Bi Gan, who spent the most effort and investment in the entire film, could only get 17% of the box office.

However, he was already satisfied with this.

Logically speaking, he spent more than 1 million yuan on filming, which cost Chen Mingdao a lot of effort alone. Now that the entire film has been produced, it really exceeds expectations.

A decent low-budget movie.

"The post-production of this film is not much work. I put it in Feihuang Studio. It can be completed within a month. It can be applied for release in mid-March. We can choose a good release time."

Wei Fan and Pu Jie said at the same time: "May Day holiday!"

"Hahaha!"

The two laughed. After March, which is the May Day holiday, the traffic is relatively high. Obviously, it will be released well at this time.

Bi Gan drank the glass of wine: "Okay! Then it will be released on May Day. During that time, there should be two domestic films and one imported blockbuster. The competition is not particularly fierce. I am very satisfied with our film." Have confidence!"

Wei Feng patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, okay, even if the box office is not high, your film is going to win awards. When the reputation is accepted, you will naturally not worry about making money."

Bi Gan shook his head: "Old Wei, you still don't understand my thoughts. I am so persistent in making low-cost films just to open up a way and let domestic directors know that low-cost films can also be successful. Investment has never limited good films. The conditions, the story is!”

"I have to make money from this movie! This is what we call making money while standing up!"

"Okay! I'd like to guide you!"

As an old movie fan and drama fan, Pu Jie can understand what Bi Gan said very well.

Many high-scoring movies from decades ago are still popular today.

Is it because they spent a lot of money on filming? Is the picture good? Are the props beautiful?

Not really!

It contains profound thoughts and wonderful stories and lines!

"Witness for the Prosecution", a black and white suspense film from 40 years ago, has a Douban score of 9.5 and is still popular today.

It’s not that big movies with high investment are bad, but there are also some small movies with other tastes needed to fill the market.

Bi Gan is someone who is committed to telling good stories and making small movies.

A few people were drinking and chatting.

Wei Fan is a heroic figure, and "Urban Son-in-law Dragon King" made him a lot of money, and he gained both word-of-mouth and views.

He can get a lot of money from Penguin Film and Television.

"By the way, Editor Pu, how could you be so sure that "Legend of the Stars" could fetch a higher copyright fee?"

"Uh? When did I become so sure?"

Wei Fan smiled: "You are still pretending, but my friend told me all your original words at that time. People in the golden age went to buy your comics and animation copyrights. You thought 1 million was too little. You said it was much more than this price. They Later he got angry and complained to me.”

Pu Jie was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of something.

"Did you find the Golden Age Company that came to buy my copyright?"

"Ah! That's right."

Wei Fan looked like I am doing my best for you, please praise me.

Pu Jie: "."

OK! The mole has been found!

you again!

Wei Fan, Wei Fan, I regard you as my senior, and I will help you promote the TV series with all my heart and soul.

You treat me like this?

If I hadn't been smart enough to transform into the devil and suppress the Qidian gang, I would have fainted in the toilet crying now!

I can't even get the 10x crit module!

"Director Wei! You almost caused a disaster!"

Wei Fan was stunned, and his hand holding the wine glass froze.

Is it so exaggerated?

"Pu Bian, is it that serious? Didn't it sell in the end?"

Pu Jie was heartbroken: "Senior, what do you think about our relationship!"

"Well, Pu Bian has given me a new life. Without Pu Bian, I wouldn't be where I am today. I have nothing to say to you."

"Then how could you do this to me! I have repeatedly emphasized before that you should not sell me copyrights, but you have done it again and again! "The Countryside Rogue Doctor" is fine, and it doesn't matter whether that book is sold or not. If this "Star Legend" is sold by Qidian, I really have no place to cry."

"Hiss~~This!"

Pu Jie thought about it and decided to eliminate this hidden danger to avoid unexpected situations when he was planning a new book in the future.

"Director Wei is confused. Look, I sold the copyright of "Star Legend" for 6 million. You must have heard about the process and the bloody storm."

Bi Gan also became interested: "Indeed, I heard about it during that period. There was a big fight on Weibo. Your sentence. If criticism is not free, praise is meaningless. It's so touching! I'm so excited!"

Wei Fan: "That's right! I decided to add Pu Bian's sentence to the next season of "Urban Son-in-law Dragon King 2". I specially designed an episode for this sentence, using this incident as the material. It will definitely be interesting! Ahem. Pu Bian, keep talking, I'm listening."

Pu Jie rolled his eyes at him.

"All of this is actually within my expectations!"

Two people: "Ah!?"

Pu Jie's face almost turned red, but he still said with a stiff face: "That's right! This is all designed by me, just to create topics, make a hot topic, and then raise the price of copyright."

Two people: "Gosh!"

"So, you are helping me? You almost killed me! What if Qidian forced me to sign the 1 million copyright with them? Wouldn't I have a falling out with the editor and the copyright department? Will they stand up and speak for me when something happens to me? Obviously not! Without Qidian's support, how can I prove my innocence? There is no way to prove it! I will be in trouble! Fortunately, I talked it over with them in advance and rejected the purchase of copyright by Golden Age Company, otherwise this matter would be ruined. Not only would I not be able to sell the 6 million copyright fee, but I would also be scolded and no one would read the book. Tell me, did you almost cause a disaster!"

Pu Jie talked more and more nonsense, and he almost believed it.

It was obvious that he knew the whole story after being notified by Qidian.

But at this time, in order to avoid Wei Fan holding a knife to find a place to attack him from behind every day, he still took it out to show off.

Wei Fan was already stunned.

"I see."

"I didn't expect that Pu Bian was behind this."

"I was reckless and almost became a sinner."

Pu Jie saw that the effect was achieved, so he said: "Oh, everything is over. Finally, I got a good result. Director Wei, please don't help me sell it in the future. I appreciate your kindness. I will wait for the highest price before selling it."

"Oh, I understand, Pu Bian!"

Wei Fan understood. If the company introduced cannot give the highest price in the industry, don't go to him.

Pu Jie was relieved. Now Wei Fan will not stab him secretly.

When he needs it, he will naturally ask them for help.

Wei Fan asked again: "What is Pu Bian going to write in his next book? When will it be published?"

Pu Jie thought about it. At present, he has several unique ideas.

It feels like it will become a big hit once it is published.

When the manuscript fee explodes, the anti-addiction regulations of the system will be triggered, and all the money will be sent to Duoyu Company, and then it will be taken out with a tenfold critical strike.

"Well, the subject of the next book has not been decided yet, but this time, I am going to write it seriously!"

Wei Fan and Bi Gan were not surprised at all.

The screenwriter who can write such a good script as "The Man from Earth" has a writing level that is more than that?

It will become popular even if it is not written seriously.

If it is written seriously, it will take off?

"Then let us wish Pu Bian a big sale of his new book in advance! Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

"Drink!"

"Waiter! Bring the wine!"

"Ugh~~~"

Pu Jie came out of the bar, leaned against the tree and vomited several times, and then he felt better in his stomach.

He found his car drunkenly and sat on it.

The woman who was playing with her mobile phone in the front seat was startled.

"Pu Pu, where are you going?"

"Home!"

In the blur, Pu Jie saw from the rearview mirror that the female driver in front of him took off her mask and was quite beautiful.

Those phoenix eyes are particularly attractive.

(PS: There will be more later~~)
