Chapter 0162 Salary income and house purchase plan
When Xu Hengzhou got up at noon, he received a call from director Han Jie. When the other party opened his mouth, he made a shocking statement:
"Xiao Xu, the pre-sales of our movie have exceeded 70 million!
It’s hard to say, including publicity costs.
But if we only count the production cost and other expenses of our movie.
The pre-sale box office alone is enough to make more than ten movies of the same scale."
Xu Hengzhou was also shocked. You must know that the previous box office record for a movie in 2009 was 370 million. It was "Red Cliff Part 2" directed by director John Woo and gathered many big names.
And it took several months for that movie to reach the highest box office.
The pre-sale of their movie alone is already 70 million. Even if it fails later, the whole movie should have a box office of more than 150 million when it is released.
These days, if you can get a box office of 100 million to 200 million, it is considered a high box office.
What's more, the cost of their film is so low.
Xu Hengzhou's first emotion was that he was making crazy money.
Yes, the box office of the movie "Mr. Tree" is closely related to the salary he can get.
At that time, when director Han Jie invited him to star in the movie "Mr. Tree", he said that he would use half of the investment to pay him for the film.
As a producer, Jia Zhangke certainly cannot watch director Han Jie act recklessly.
So the final decision was a salary of 500,000 yuan, plus 3% of the box office profit.
However, this box office does not refer to the final box office sales of the movie.
Rather, it refers to about 35% of the box office revenue that the producer can obtain, and the remaining box office revenue after deducting a production cost before profit can be divided to him.
So Xu Hengzhou really didn't care about the 3% box office profit at that time.
Because "Mr. Tree" is a literary and artistic film, and it is a literary and artistic film that was extremely difficult to make in the previous life.
It’s good if he doesn’t lose money, so how can he get any box office share?
But now looking at the pre-sale box office, Xu Hengzhou is a little confused.
He was stunned as he listened to what Director Han Jie said a lot, but in fact, his attention was not focused on other things the other party said.
His only thought now is to find out how much money he can make.
When the other party hung up the phone, Xu Hengzhou immediately rummaged through the box and found a calculator.
Then start counting.
Assuming this movie can earn 100 million box office——
(100,000,000×35%?5,000,000)×3%=900000
According to this algorithm, he can get 900,000.
Adding in the original salary of 500,000, this is 1.4 million!
And if this movie can earn 200 million at the box office, then he can earn a total of 2.45 million.
If this movie can earn 300 million at the box office, he can earn 3.5 million.
…
This is 2009.
What is the concept of 3.5 million?
The current housing prices in Beijing are between 1.2 and 1.5. If he does not pursue large apartments, he can directly buy three apartments in BJ with this money!
Xu Hengzhou felt a little short of breath for a moment.
He thought about how house prices had increased by several thousand yuan since the beginning of the year. Looking at the numbers calculated on his calculator, he suddenly had an idea.
He wants to buy a house!
Xu Hengzhou thought of this and immediately called Zhang Jingjiang.
He remembered that before he went to closed training again, Zhang Jingjiang told him that the company had already taken care of the remuneration for his previous two TV series for him.
The tax paid should be paid to the company as a commission.
The remaining 150,000 has been transferred to his account.
But the remuneration for the film "Mr. Tree" is still being processed.
He should transfer the initial 500,000 yuan salary during his training period.
As soon as the call was connected, he asked Zhang Jingjiang if the 500,000 yuan remuneration from "Mr. Tree" had been transferred.
Zhang Jingjiang gave him a positive answer and told him that after a series of procedures, the remaining 230,000 yuan in remuneration had been transferred to his account.
Although Xu Hengzhou felt that once he paid the tax, his money would be reduced by 40 points, which was like cutting off his flesh.
But think about the many celebrities he has seen who fell into trouble because of this incident.
He feels that he should be a good and law-abiding citizen!
However, he suddenly realized that the previously calculated maximum salary of 3.5 million yuan might have to be cut in half, and tax would be deducted!
Well, let’s not talk about that thing that hasn’t happened yet.
Right now, that means he has a total of 380,000 in savings.
Buying a house is something you should do sooner rather than later.
Xu Hengzhou not only thought about buying a house, but also made a decision in an instant. He went to buy a house in the past few days and paid the down payment first!
Liu Yiqian had just woken up, and before she could adapt to this new place of residence, she heard Xu Hengzhou saying that she wanted to buy a house.
What house to buy?
Wedding room?!
She is not ready for marriage yet.
Xu Hengzhou didn't know what Liu Yiqian was thinking about.
He just suddenly realized that he was half a prophet after all.
When my ability allows, it seems that I can really make some changes in my own life and even in the lives of others.
So, Xu Hengzhou decided to start with Liu Yiqian. He told Liu Yiqian with a slightly excited expression:
"Why don't you also buy a suite in the capital? I'm telling you, house prices will definitely skyrocket in the future, and buying a house is worse than any other investment..."
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Liu Yiqian listened to what Xu Hengzhou said and agreed with Xu Hengzhou's statement. She nodded and said:
"Although I haven't paid much attention to these, I also know that there are quite a few assets under my name in the capital.
My mother and the consultant who specializes in investing for me selected a lot of good locations in Beijing for me.
Since you want to buy a house, I will take a look at it later and recommend it to you."
Sorry to bother you!
Xu Hengzhou glanced at Liu Yiqian, who had an unusually natural expression. Although he knew that the other party had no intention of deliberately showing off, he was still being shown off. Damn it.
There are some things that I have never thought about before. When I think of Xu Hengzhou, I can't wait to get it done immediately.
After breakfast, Xu Hengzhou immediately took Liu Yiqian to look at the apartment.
As expected, Liu Yiqian recommended many good locations to him.
However, Xu Hengzhou sadly discovered that his 380,000 yuan was not enough to pay a down payment in these areas!
Xu Hengzhou learned from the pain and decided to look for real estate on his own. He carefully thought about some public facilities that would often be added in the future, and then went to the surrounding area to find out what was missing.
After two or three days, he finally found a community under construction next to a subway line that he remembered would be built next year.
Then I decisively picked one of the off-plan properties and paid the down payment of 350,000!
Then I paid a lot of other miscellaneous expenses.
The money was spent in an instant.
Xu Hengzhou returned to his small home contentedly with the house purchase contract in hand.
Starting today, he finally has a place to stay in the capital!
Although Liu Yiqian didn't understand Xu Hengzhou's repeated troubles these days, she was happy to see Xu Hengzhou's current peace of mind and happiness.
As the saying goes, good things come in pairs, I just bought the house here.
Xu Hengzhou found himself impoverished again.
Zhang Jingjiang called him over there and informed him that the crew of "Tangshan Earthquake" had asked him to audition.
Once this audition is successful, you can sign the contract directly.
This character didn't have much role, but he was paid 400,000 yuan for the film.
