Huayu’s ex-husband

Chapter 89 88. Why is Wei Wu so courageous? (Please order first)

Liu Xiaoli had just had breakfast early in the morning, and while reading the newspaper, she asked casually:

"Sissi, how much is the box office of your movie?"

Liu Tianxian looked back at his mother and said proudly:

"As of yesterday, the total box office in the two weeks since its release has reached 37.4 million!"

Liu Xiaoli said with some surprise: "Yeah, it's so high! So how much will the final box office of this movie be?"

Liu Tianxian stretched out five fingers and said with a slightly proud expression:

"Wei Wu said that the final box office of this movie is very likely to exceed 50 million. However, it is only a little over 50 million at most. Any more will be impossible!"

Liu Xiaoli's eyes lit up and she said in wonder:

"50 million! So great? Then Wei Wu must have made a lot of money from this movie!"

Liu Tianxian put his hand on his forehead and said in a slightly disgusted tone:

"Mom, have you become a little obsessed with stock trading recently? Are you obsessed with money? Why do you always want money?"

Liu Xiaoli rolled her eyes and said, "What's the matter with the money? How can you eat, drink, and have sex without spending money? How can you live a good life without money? Drink water to satisfy your feelings? If I want to be confused all day long like you, then both of us will be ruined." !”

Liu Tianxian quickly raised his hands in surrender and said: "Okay, okay, it's my fault.

"Listen to my analysis. Of the 50 million box office, a little more than half will be allocated to the theaters. The total tax plus special funds is 8.3%. After deducting China Film's distribution agency fee and advance advertising fee, it will finally fall to What Wei Wu holds is probably about 36.8%, which is about 18.4 million."

Liu Tianxian didn't understand these things at all before, but in order to have a common language with Wei Wu, she has recently gained a lot of relevant knowledge, and she is almost half an expert!

Liu Xiaoli nodded slightly and said, "You seem to have said before that the production cost of "A Man on the Road" was about 5.5 million. Does that mean Wei Wu's net profit was about 13 million?"

Liu Tianxian pondered and said: "It shouldn't be that much. This money should also have to pay corporate income tax, about 25%."

Liu Xiaoli shook her head and said: "How could Wei Wu be so stupid and pay the tax in full?

"Even if you don't evade taxes, you will definitely find a way to use the policy to legally deduct part of the tax. Even if you pay corporate tax, you can still make at least 10 million!

"However, after calculation, the box office of 50 million only made 10 million in the end, and it feels like it is not that profitable!"

Liu Tianxian thought for a while and added: "After the movie is released, Wei Wu can sell the copyright to a TV station or video website, and he should be able to earn another million.

"I just don't know if any foreign rights holders will be able to watch this movie, otherwise it will definitely make more money."

Liu Xiaoli commented: "There should be someone on the TV station or video website asking for it! However, most of the laughs in this movie can only be understood by Chinese people, and foreign copyright owners probably won't be interested!"

"But Wei Wu is really good! He gave Zhang Yimou a head start when he was just starting out! I heard that your movie's box office was higher than Zhang Yimou's "Ride Alone, Thousands of Miles", is it true?"

Liu Tianxian nodded and said, "Well, "Ride Alone" only had the box office in the first three days of its release, which was slightly higher than ours.

"But since the 4th day, the box office has been lower than our movie, including "The Promise". It is estimated that the final box office of "Thousand Miles Ride Alone" is unlikely to exceed 30 million, which is almost 20 million less than ours. Bar!

"However, "Ride Alone" is a literary film after all. To be honest, it is a bit inappropriate for us to compare the box office with others."

Liu Xiaoli curled her lips and said disapprovingly: "Why is it inappropriate? Even if it is a literary film, isn't it Zhang Yimou's movie?

"Let's talk about Zhang Yimou. Didn't he start his career by making literary films? Apart from "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers", aren't the rest of his films all literary films? I remember that several of them were quite high at the box office. !

"So if he loses this time, he loses. There is no need for us to make excuses for him to forcefully restore his respect."

Liu Tianxian was speechless for a moment, but his mother's words were not completely unreasonable. After all, Zhang Yimou was the number one director in the mainland, and some of his previous literary and artistic films had quite high box office sales.

For example, "No One Left Behind" had a box office of 30 million, and this was a film made in 1999. In addition, "If You Have Something to Say" had a box office of 46 million, and that was even a movie in 1997!

His film 6 years ago took in 30 million at the box office, but now compared to that time, both the number of cinemas and screens, and even the number of moviegoers willing to pay have greatly increased!

If we still get the same box office now, it’s obviously a step back!

Liu Xiaoli was not very sad: "That's Zhang Yimou, why do you think Wei Wu is so courageous? He really dares to show off with others in one day, and he can still do it!"

Liu Tianxian was also quite emotional: "To be honest, I didn't understand it. Maybe geniuses are originally madmen! Maybe this is called: When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!"

Liu Xiaoli suddenly said sternly to Liu Tianxian: "So you must win over them! Wei Wu can now unseat Zhang Yimou. In a few years, his fame and achievements will be greater than Zhang Yimou's. That won't be a problem."

"Look at how happy Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi are now, and you will know how good the great director is at flattering people!

Liu Xiaoli then held her daughter's shoulders and said:

"Wei Wu is not as good as before now, so you have to be careful and keep an eye on people!

"Every one of those charming bitches outside will definitely want to pounce on me now. If you don't be careful, you will suffer the consequences when the time comes!"

Hearing his mother talk about this, Liu Tianxian instantly slumped down, because what his mother said was not alarmist.

In fact, just two days ago, when the box office of "On the Road" exceeded 30 million, Wei Wu was invited to give a speech at his alma mater, Nortel.

As a result, while waiting for the event, Liu Tianxian found that there were many love letters, photos and notes stuffed in his pocket. Liu Tianxian was so angry that his chest felt tight and he didn't even eat a bite of dinner.

It seems that no matter whether they are seniors or junior girls, everyone yearns for Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi!

To be honest, we really can’t blame them entirely. Now Gong Li is the chairman of the jury of the Berlin Film Festival and the main competition unit of the Venice International Film Festival.

Not only has he become the first Chinese to serve twice as chairman of the jury for the main competition units of the three major European international film festivals, he is also the first Asian.

The lineup of noodles can be said to be completely full. Which actress in the film and television industry today would not envy her?

Although Zhang Ziyi is not as beautiful as the first girl Mou. But she has almost reached the pinnacle of domestic entertainment actresses. She is only 26 years old now, but she has already won a lot of awards for domestic and foreign actresses.

Whether it is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the Chinese-language film with the highest box office in the world, or "Hero", the domestic film with the highest box office in the Mainland, she starred in both movies.

Moreover, this year she also co-starred with Gong Li in the Oscar-winning film "Memoirs of a Geisha". She is preparing to enter Hollywood. She was also invited to become an Oscar award presenter and lifelong judge this year.

Now their careers are so prosperous that even Liu Tianxian can't help but feel jealous, let alone others!

Liu Xiaoli suddenly walked up to her daughter and asked in a low voice: "Sissi, tell the truth to mom, have you done that?"

In an instant, Liu Tianxian's cheeks seemed to be smeared with a layer of moving rouge, and he shook his head gently.

Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but frown: "I told you not to have children before, but I didn't mean to tell you to be on guard and never let anyone get close to you.

"Men all want to eat meat, especially young people like Wei Wu in his early twenties, who can't control it... If the family doesn't have enough to eat, he will naturally go out to look for food.

"Counting from your birthday, you have been together for almost four to five months. To be honest, you can't keep hanging on to him. When the time is right, you have to give him something sweet..."

"Mom~"

Liu Tianxian stamped his feet, and his pretty face turned completely red, like a bright rose petal, shy and charming.

This moment of shyness even stunned Liu Xiaoli. After a moment, she gently rubbed her daughter's beautiful face and sighed:

"Silly daughter, don't think I'm snobbish. If I hadn't seen you liking her so much, would I, as a mother, be able to say this to you today?

"I'm afraid that you're too young to be able to carry it, and if the time comes that you're too reserved, Wei Wuzhen will be seduced away by the vixen outside, and you'll come to me again to seek death and live in tears!"

Liu Tianxian's heart felt hot, and he hugged his mother's waist like a baby swallow returning to its nest and whispered:

"Well, during the Chinese New Year this year, I plan to go with Wei Wu to meet his parents. Mom, look...do you agree?"

Liu Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief: "Of course I agree, I have to say that this is a good move. It seems that your little head is not so stupid as long as Wei Wu is involved!"

"With all your conditions, it's no problem to win over his parents. So as long as you can persuade Wei Wu, this matter is basically over."

Liu Xiaoli patted her daughter's back gently, while Liu Tianxian continued to nestle in her mother's arms comfortably. Neither of them spoke anymore, but each planned the future in their hearts...

Guys, please give me an initial order. Please release two chapters first. There should be two more chapters later today. First of all, I would like to apologize to all the big guys. I can’t afford to hurt the handicapped. It’s really not that I don’t want to save the manuscript, but that I really can’t save it. I also hope that you guys will be considerate of each other. I will try my best to update more every day after it is put on the shelves. Finally, please beg me to place an initial order.
