This Star Doesn't Work Overtime Chapter 496

 The benefits Zhang Hanwen received made everyone in the industry envious and surprised!

　　Not to mention that he got 3% of the box office share!

Just because he gained tens of millions of fans overnight, everyone was jealous.

I had just performed in the Spring Festival Gala with Wang Cheng, and then The Matrix was released and became a hit, and my exposure rate immediately increased. The growth of my fans was also extremely amazing. I became a super list celebrity overnight, and the number of fans is still growing rapidly and steadily. Growth, seeing the super giants have hope!

Zhang Xiuhua came to Zhang Hanwen's house early in the morning, and the first thing she said when she saw Zhang Hanwen was: "You are popular, and you are extremely popular!"

Zhang Hanwen was much calmer. After settling in the past few months and seeing Wang Cheng's outburst and attitude, he had already expected his outburst. At this time, he was extremely calm and said softly: "Sister Hua, I You know I can definitely explode!”

He has always remembered Wang Cheng's words, as long as you polish and improve yourself with your heart, then sooner or later you will become popular!

 That's why he was able to practice calmly for a few months, and the results were better than those he had practiced in the past two or three years, because he was more attentive and worked harder.

Zhang Xiuhua smiled and said: "Early this morning, I received dozens of notices. All major television stations have sent you invitations from various variety shows that you can name. They want to quickly produce a variety show related to The Matrix. You are invited to join with several other actors, including An Keru and Wang Cheng, but they will definitely not participate."

 Zhang Hanwen nodded: "Then I'm too lazy to attend! Sister Hua, please refuse for me for the time being. Can we wait until after the New Year?"

Zhang Hanwen also just wants to have a good Spring Festival.

 Let's put the work matters aside later.

Zhang Xiuhua was stunned for a moment, knowing that Zhang Hanwen had changed a lot recently and had a tendency to be infected by Wang Cheng, so she smiled and said: "Of course! By the way, do you want to go to Wang Cheng's house to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year? I'll buy you a copy Gift!"

Zhang Xiuhua just wants Zhang Hanwen to hold Wang Cheng's thigh tightly at this time. If he cooperates with Wang Cheng once or twice more, Zhang Hanwen may become a new super giant this year!

Think about it, Zhang Xiuhua still can't believe it.

From last year to this year alone, so many newcomers have become super giants right out of the gate. This is more than the number of new super giants in the past ten years.

  No wonder many people in the entertainment industry and the media say that this year is the first year of a new era in the Chinese entertainment industry!

 Zhang Hanwen listened to Zhang Xiuhua's words and shook his head: "Sister Hua, no need! There is no need for such false feelings between Wang Cheng and I, and he is on annual leave and does not want to be disturbed. Mr. Qin does not dare to disturb him."

Zhang Xiuhua nodded. She knew the news in the company. She knew that Qin Yuhai and Shen Shenghui had specially greeted many people and asked the upper-level people in the company not to disturb Wang Cheng.

However, she felt that Zhang Hanwen was Wang Cheng's friend, and it was normal for friends to pay New Year's greetings, and it was not enough to disturb him because of official business.

However, Zhang Hanwen refused, and Zhang Xiuhua said nothing, but the excitement and joy in his heart could not be suppressed.

　　Previously, Zhang Hanwen was banned by the company due to Wang Cheng's involvement. Zhang Xiuhua thought that she would sink into the same ban as Zhang Hanwen and quit the entertainment industry in a few years.

Unexpectedly, less than half a year later, Zhang Hanwen not only lifted the ban, but also became popular overnight, and it was possible to become a super giant.

and…

She knows that the sharing contract signed by Zhang Hanwen and the Matrix crew this time will definitely make a lot of money. With a 3% share, there may be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in share income by then!

And this is only a small portion of Zhang Hanwen's income due to his explosive popularity at this time, and the various endorsements and announcements that will follow are the bulk of the income.

 Zhang Hanwen picked up the phone: "I'll just give him a call and wish him a happy New Year!"

With that said, Zhang Hanwen picked up the phone, found Wang Cheng's name and dialed.

Hum buzz…

 Connected quickly, but no sound!

Zhang Hanwen and Zhang Xiuhua were not surprised by this, knowing that Wang Cheng didn't like to talk too much on the phone.

Zhang Hanwen immediately smiled and said: "Wang Cheng, Happy New Year, are you home?"

Wang Cheng's calm voice came from the phone: "Well, I just got home a while ago. Happy New Year!"

 Zhang Hanwen: "Have a good rest during the New Year. When you come to Shanghai, I will treat you to dinner. Thank you for giving me the opportunity this time."

 Wang Cheng: "I don't give you the opportunity, you give yourself the opportunity. If you don't improve to my satisfaction, I won't let you join my crew, come on!"

Although Wang Cheng said this, Zhang Hanwen understood something about Wang Cheng in his heart. He knew that Wang Cheng didn't want him to feel that he was owed a favor, so he smiled and said: "I know, I understand! We won't talk about this between us, any Whenever you need me, I'm always available."

 Wang Cheng: “Yeah!”

 After saying that, a busy signal came from the phone.

Wang Cheng has died.

Zhang Hanwen put down the phone and said to Zhang Xiuhua: "Okay, Sister Hua, you should also take a holiday! Any announcements, advertising endorsements, etc., we can wait until after the New Year. By the way, don't forget the practice classes at the company Sign up for me, don't be left behind!”

Even though it is becoming popular now, Zhang Hanwen still follows Wang Cheng's advice, keeps learning, keeps practicing, and keeps improving himself!

 Zhang Xiuhua: “Okay, I will help you sign up!”

 The whole Spring Festival.

  Naturally it is still lively.

However, Wang Cheng spent a year quietly at home. He did not see his classmates or go out to visit. He just spent seven days quietly at home with his parents!

 The seven-day holiday is over.

Wang Cheng left home on time to go to work in Magic City and started working.

When leaving home, Wang Cheng didn't say much. He just gave his parents a card. The password on the card was his birthday. There was one billion in cash in it, so that his parents could spend whatever they wanted without having to save money.

He doesn't have enough time to spend with his parents in this world, and he doesn't like that feeling, so he can only make up for it in other ways as much as possible - money!

 The plane arrived in Shanghai on time!

Wang Cheng remained low-key as usual, wearing a simple down jacket, a hat on his head, and a mask on his face, and walked out dragging his suitcase.

 A few people have been standing outside for a while.

Xia Xi, Shen Shenghui, Qin Mo, Qin Yuhai, Zhang Hanwen, Han Xiao!

Only Xia Xi knew about Wang Cheng's arrival in Magic City, because it was Xia Xi, his assistant, who booked the flight. Then Xia Xi notified the company, and then Zhang Hanwen and Han Xiao were also in Magic City, so they came to pick him up together. Machine.

Seeing Wang Cheng, Xia Xi immediately stepped forward and helped Wang Cheng receive the salute.

They all kept a low profile and wore hats and masks. They were afraid of being recognized by passers-by and their identities would be exposed. Then Wang Cheng would also be exposed, and the entire airport might fall into chaos! “How was your New Year?”

Xia Xi asked with a soft smile.

Wang Cheng handed the salute to Xia Xi smoothly, just hummed without saying anything, and then walked directly to the parking lot outside.

 Zhang Hanwen and Han Xiao quickly followed, and Han Xiao said happily: "Wang Cheng, Happy New Year!"

 Wang Cheng: “Happy New Year!”

Han Xiao: "Can you take me with you next time you film? The Matrix is ​​really cool and handsome."

 Wang Cheng: "Your acting skills are terrible! Besides, I don't want to film anymore."

 Being a director and directing a movie is the most tiring job in the entertainment industry, perhaps no other!

Because the director is responsible for all aspects of the entire movie before and after, not just sitting in front of the monitor and looking at the picture and yelling or saying something.

Especially for a perfectionist director like Wang Cheng, it is even more tiring to make every detail perfect, because he has to do everything himself.

 The screenwriter, starring, director, soundtrack, and editor of The Matrix are all him!

 So, he doesn't want to make movies now…

Han Xiao pouted slightly after hearing this: "I signed up for an acting class, and I will concentrate on studying acting!"

She really forgot about it. An Keru and Wang Cheng both acted in a kissing scene on the screen. Although everyone in the industry knew that it was a fake kiss and it was not a real kissing scene, many viewers didn't know it and took it seriously. .

An Keru's popularity has recently surpassed that of Wen Yixiao, and her number of fans has exceeded 100 million, making her the fourth superstar with over 100 million fans after Wang Cheng, Liu Qianhua and Wen Yixiao!

Han Xiao doesn't care about An Keru's popularity and remuneration. What she cares about is acting on the screen with Wang Cheng, even kissing scenes. Maybe there will be **** scenes in the future?

 So, she really plans to study acting seriously.

Wang Cheng didn't take it seriously after hearing what Han Xiao said.

 Qin Yuhai, Shen Shenghui and Wang Cheng shook hands and said Happy New Year without saying much.

 After getting in the car!

 Qin Yuhai, Shen Shenghui, Qin Mo, Xia Xi, and Wang Cheng were sitting in a car. Han Xiao and Zhang Hanwen came to pick them up by themselves, and they all left in their own cars.

So, after getting in the car, Qin Mo began to report to Wang Cheng: "Wang Cheng, the seven-day Spring Festival period is initially over, but our movie The Matrix has not yet finished filming, and we have recently signed a contract with the theater chain to extend the screening. The cycle is one month! Because, so far, the attendance rate of our movie The Matrix is ​​still amazing, with an average attendance rate of more than 80% per game, and it is full in the afternoon and evening."

Wang Cheng leaned on his chair, closed his eyes to rest, and said nothing.

However, Qin Mo continued to report: "As of today, our The Matrix has created a total box office of 4.5 billion during the Spring Festival, with an average of more than 600 million per day. It has broken the highest box office record for Chinese-language movies and the single-day box office record. ! The box office share of the theaters will be paid at the end of the month, and I will urge them. At that time, the box office share of you, An Keru, and Zhang Hanwen will be paid directly to your accounts! "

 Seven days, 4.5 billion box office!

Although Xia Xi already knew it, she was still secretly frightened when she heard it. She stared at Wang Cheng with his eyes wide open to rest. This nineteen-year-old boy had single-handedly raised the level of Chinese science fiction movies to a higher level.

Moreover, this box office is not the final figure, because the screening cycle has been extended by one month. I dare not say that it will collect another three to four billion box office in this month. At least one billion will be collected, because now The Matrix is ​​in the theater The attendance rate was still amazing, with many people watching it three or four times.

By then, the total box office of The Matrix may exceed 6 billion, almost doubling the Chinese box office record!

It's true that the debut is the peak, the first time filming, the first starring role, the first time writing a script, it directly creates the pinnacle of Chinese-language movies!

Xia Xi didn't even know what to say.

  Anyway, the whole film industry is going crazy.

The second-ranked Jiang Bin movie had a box office of 1.5 billion in just seven days. Although it was considered a success and the producer also made a lot of money, compared to Wang Cheng's movie which only took three months to shoot, it was a huge hit. With a box office of 4.5 billion, it seems not worth mentioning.

Without the emergence of Wang Cheng's The Matrix, with the current reputation of Jiang Bin's movie, the total box office is expected to be more than 2.5 billion, and there is a chance to touch the 3 billion mark, but due to the popularity of The Matrix, , the actual box office of Jiang Bin's movie was almost halved compared to expectations.

 Similarly, the box office of other movies released during the same period suffered a huge squeeze and were far less than expected!

She had heard in the Beijing circle that in the past few days, more than a dozen science fiction movie projects had been approved, and they didn't even have scripts yet. Everyone followed suit and immediately wanted to make science fiction movies, seizing on the science fiction project initiated by Wang Cheng this time. Take advantage of the trend and make quick money.

After Qin Mo finished speaking, Shen Shenghui continued: "Wang Cheng, there is something important that you need to confirm now! Regarding the overseas release of The Matrix. A total of five distribution companies in Hollywood and Europe have contacted us, wanting to purchase The Matrix overseas. Distribution rights, and adaptation rights.”

"The highest bidder is 15 million, and the distribution rights and adaptation rights are included in the package! Are you interested in letting The Matrix be released overseas? If you are interested, I can ask them to come and talk to you in person, or you can authorize me to help you Talk, you tell me your conditions, and I will try my best to help you fight for it."

“If you have no intention of releasing it overseas, I will reject them directly.”

 The overseas distribution rights and adaptation rights are packaged for 15 million, which is already the highest price paid for a Chinese-language film overseas in recent years.

 Previously, it was considered a big success if it could sell 10 million yuan.

Wang Cheng finally opened his eyes at this time and said softly: "Overseas distribution is fine, but adaptation is fine. There is no money for distribution rights, but box office share, 10% of the total revenue, including box office and other online and offline broadcast rights. Income, this is the bottom line! If you can, give it to them, if not, forget it."

 No money, just a share of the box office...

The people were silent for a moment and looked at each other.

 It seems that Chinese-language films have never enjoyed such treatment when going overseas!

Even for those films that won the grand prize at European film festivals, European and American distribution companies did not give them excessive commissions, but bought them out in one go.

 They don't want to share profits with you, and there is a steady stream of profits.

After all, the biggest purpose of those distribution companies buying movie copyrights everywhere is to enrich the copyright library and then use the copyrights to make profits in a steady stream, and to gain a small probability of a box office hit.

No matter which one it is, people don't want to share the benefits with you.

Shen Shenghui said softly: "Wang Cheng, they may not be willing to give you a share!"

Wang Cheng said nonchalantly: "If you don't want to, forget it."

Wang Cheng knows better than them all that The Matrix is ​​a standard Hollywood blockbuster and will definitely be successful when released in Europe and the United States.

 Perhaps because it is a Chinese-language film and the actors are all Chinese, it cannot achieve the same hot success as in China, but it is no problem to have a box office of over 100 million US dollars. For an overseas film, it is already extremely popular.

 So, Wang Cheng would not sell the distribution rights and the adaptation rights together for only 15 million Chinese coins, so he might as well keep it for himself!

  In any case, it is their own loss if European and American audiences cannot see this movie, and Wang Cheng doesn't care at all.

Shen Shenghui looked stunned for a moment, and then said: "Okay, let me talk to them!"

 Then, Qin Mo said: "Wang Cheng, do you have plans for a sequel to The Matrix?"
