Chapter 488： blueprint

Although Liu Huaxing signed the contract smoothly, he is actually a novice in terms of scripting, and he hasn't contacted him before reading files, so he needs to learn a lot. The reason why he can achieve a certain degree of success now is entirely because he knows which types will be popular in the future, but he himself does not have much experience and skills in writing scripts, all of which need to be humbly learned from others.

So after signing the contract, the agency found several directors who could cooperate with him. Liu Huaxing just talked to them because the script hadn't been finished yet, and asked about the future direction of script writing.

The advantage of writing a movie script is that it can be promoted in a wider range and may be available to the whole world, but the disadvantage is that it is profitable. Generally speaking, most of the budget of a movie is on the actors, and the money invested in the script is usually very small.

The proceeds of copyright are usually divided into two ways. One is to buy out directly. You pay a sum of money to buy the copyright of the script and then adapt it before the shooting. After that, the box office will have nothing to do with the author, but the rights in the agreement, For example, the right to choose the leading role and the reservation of the plot are still there.

Generally speaking, even if a well-known screenwriter writes a good script, the copyright fee is hundreds of thousands. Liu Huaxing now has the reputation of "Royal Dragon", and the copyright fee may be in the millions or even millions. The specific price can only be determined after conducting market research, but in terms of Yulong's current popularity, it will not exceed 2 million.

But compared to those protagonists who often pay tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, the money is really not worth mentioning.

The second method is to calculate based on the ratio of the box office, which is calculated as a percentage of the net income of the box office after deducting costs. After the movie is released, 50% of the box office revenue goes to the cinema chain, and the remaining 50% is divided among the crew, actors and investors.

Even for Hollywood's most famous screenwriter, the amount of agreement revenue will not be higher than 30% of the box office, and it is still in the case of screenwriter and director. If it's just a simple screenwriter, based on Liu Huaxing's current reputation, it will basically get 5% of the box office revenue. Calculated, the net profit of the movie box office must exceed 100 million before he can get 2.5 million in copyright fees.

If you deduct another tax and share it with the entertainment company, the remaining money will be more than one million. Therefore, if the proportion of agreement revenue does not reach more than 10%, then it is better to sell the script by way of buyout. Because the box office of a movie may be upset, if the box office is too low at that time, it might even be better to buy it out.

Therefore, after interacting with these directors, Liu Huaxing learned that firstly use the protagonist in "The Dragon" as a template to write the script of the TV series, and slowly accumulate a certain popularity, and then write the script of the movie when the popularity is enough.

Because the film goes from determining the script to finding the actors and then to the official shooting, then finalizing, editing, reporting for review and finally to the release, and then counting the box office. This whole process is about a year or so, which is a very long process. In this year, it happens to be able to accumulate the popularity of this series and increase the box office of the movie by relying on TV dramas.

For Liu Huaxing, the advantage is that he can first get the income from the TV drama script, and accumulate the income from the movie box office after the popularity increases during the film shooting, which can just increase his popularity and win a higher agreement share. There is a constant flow of energy into the account, so there will not be a blank period.

If his movie script can get 10% of the box office share, it is already a very high percentage for the screenwriter. Then the movie box office will get a good result because of the promotion of the TV series. Can make a lot of money.

Calculating in this way, Liu Huaxing's current plan is relatively clear. First, write a script for a TV series and sell the copyright for adaptation by buying out.

Because the TV series are short in content and do not require too many special effects, the shooting difficulty is low. The first episode can basically be shot three months after the script is determined, and the shooting time of a 20-episode TV series will not exceed half a year.

After the start of the production of the TV series, he will start to write the screenplay. When the screenplay finds a co-director, the TV series should have already started, and the popularity accumulates. During the negotiation, the price of the script can be increased. Before the movie comes out, it should be possible to shoot two TV dramas with the main characters. And if you adjust the script of the TV series and introduce each protagonist in a length of about eight episodes, you can probably complete the "past life and present life" of all members in forty episodes, and the movie just happened at that time.

Of course, the plan is like this. Liu Huaxing doesn't know how it will be implemented when it is implemented. He can only follow this plan. It just so happened that in two years, after graduating from college, all the money earned as a screenwriter was invested. At that time, no matter how popular the movie is, it will end directly. The endless filming of the sequel will only lower the reputation. Smart people need to know when the rapids will retreat.

Dragon Ball is a good negative textbook. It was originally the hottest anime that year was popular all over the world, but after the normal end, it continued to eat its old books and launched various follow-up series, so that the colors of Super Saiyan were used all over the world. , The balance of combat power is constantly breaking down and is criticized by others, and now the reputation and evaluation continue to decline. The money was made, but the reputation was completely ruined.

After everything was planned, Liu Huaxing began to rewrite the script. In terms of the current popularity of "The Dragon", if we write the script of the series later, the copyright fee for one episode should be about 400,000 yuan, and the entire series is 16 million for 40 episodes. If the tax is paid, then the brokerage company will share about four to five million cents.

Although Liu Huaxing is a bit unhappy to be divided by the entertainment company's 40% of the income, this intermediary is necessary, after all, he himself does not want to deal with the entertainment circle, the circle is too deep. The attitude is too hard to offend people, the attitude is too soft and you can't show your face, and you don't know the market, it is clearer than him how many entertainment companies should sell this episode.

With an entertainment company, Liu Huaxing can save a lot of time, as long as he concentrates on writing the script. After all, there are people who have a girlfriend, and they can't patronize business matters, otherwise the girlfriend will run away.

After signing the contract here, there are still a few days left before the second semester of the sophomore year. Liu Huaxing can accompany his girlfriend to walk the dog at home, and write scripts when he is free, which can be considered relaxed and happy.

On February 25th, there were three days left before their school started. On that day, it began to rain and sleet, and the damp and cold weather made people have no desire to go out. Liu Huaxing and Yang Xiaoxiao were in their bedroom. The air conditioner is on.

Liu Huaxing sat in front of the computer and wrote the script, Yang Xiaoxiao leaned on the bed behind him and watched the play with a notebook, while Orange was dozing in a ball under his feet.

At this moment, Liu Huaxing was also unstoppable for a while: it would be nice if he could be like this in the future.

Suddenly, Yang Xiaoxiao probably always lay down awkwardly, so she turned over and swayed on the bed with her beautiful calves and continued watching the show. Liu Huaxing's attention was immediately attracted by her beautiful calf, so he reached out and touched it.

The feel of the leggings is not as smooth as stockings but very soft, and you can feel the elasticity of the little girl's calf.

"What are you doing?" Yang Xiaoxiao tilted his head and turned to look at him and asked, "Are you tired?"

"Tired is not tired, just a little lazy." Liu Huaxing said with a smile.

"Hmm." Yang Xiaoxiao chuckled and opened his arms to him, "Come on, hug..."

Liu Huaxing leaned over, hugged Yang Xiaoxiao into her arms, and kissed her fiery red lips. Then he tasted the smell of cotton candy, sweet and sweet, and raised his brows immediately: "You are, change Got lipstick?"

"No, I stole a marshmallow when I went out just now and bought it during the New Year." Yang Xiaoxiao smiled mischievously.

"You are just a strawberry jelly... the more you eat, the sweeter you are." Liu Huaxing teased, gently holding her lips.

Yang Xiaoxiao entangled him like an octopus, wrapped his hands and legs around him, and entangled him. After cohabitation, because there is no restriction, the same room is more frequent, and the desire is not so strong, so the two people just simply intimacy and enjoy the sweetness of love.

"It would be nice if it could be the same in the future." Yang Xiaoxiao shrank into his arms and sighed and smiled, "You write the script at home, I will accompany you behind you, cook for you, and then walk the dog together and accompany my dad. Mom, occasionally go out for a meal with friends."

"If you like this, I can work towards this goal." Liu Huaxing said softly, touching her face with the back of his hand.

But to be honest, the screenwriter is not so easy to do, because although he has become popular with the "Dragon" series, he has also been labeled. Once others cooperate with him, it must be aimed at "The Dragon", even if he opens a new series of the same type, those directors are more inclined to eat his "Royal Dragon", even if they have to face the "generation is not as good as the generation." "The infamy.

The reason is still the same: everyone is here to make money, not to be Bole. Who cares whether his new series will be popular, there are ways to make money, why take risks?

Therefore, Liu Huaxing knew that he could not go too far on the road of "screenwriting". What's more, his personality is not suitable for in-depth development in the entertainment industry, he is not the kind of person who likes to show off.

To achieve this kind of life, he still has to rely on his original plan: make money and then invest.

Once the investment develops smoothly as he expected, there is no need to work anymore. When an investor does not need to look at the faces of others, but show them to others.

If you can save up to an eight-figure investment amount, use half of it to invest in the live broadcast industry. In the next four years, your shareholding will be ten times that of a billionaire. A nine-figure deposit will be stored in the bank for one year. Several million in interest. It just so happened that he was almost back to the age when he was reading, and he didn't know what happened after that, and he didn't need to take risks.

At that time, he could quit all his work, take a leisurely health, and travel around the world with his family.

"I think it's good that way..." Yang Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and murmured, "But I think people still have to work properly, and get something through their own work. Otherwise, it will be very empty after a long time. ?"

"Hmm..." Liu Huaxing smiled, took a sip on her little mouth, and asked: "Then, if one day, the two of us can make money that we can't spend in a lifetime, what do you want to do then?"

"I..." Yang Xiaoxiao frowned for a while and then asked, "What about you, Xingxing? What do you want to do?"

"Um..." Liu Huaxing pondered for a while and replied, "I want to do some charity. I haven't figured out specific charities. But I think if I can really affect the world, then I hope it will be a good effect. Hope The world can change for the better."

This idea came to him when he was hit by an earthquake in Fukuoka last time, and it wasn't because of a single heart for good or some noble reason.

He wasn't sure if the earthquake happened because of him, because he didn't remember whether there was an earthquake before he read the file. Although the butterfly effect caused by one person can hardly cause an earthquake of this level in a short time, how long does it take? Perhaps what he does today will cause severe storms that shouldn't have occurred in the future, such as financial crises, unknown viruses, earthquakes, and tsunamis.

The butterfly effect is beyond his control, so in order to prevent him from being overwhelmed by guilt when the ending comes, at least under controllable circumstances, he hopes to have a good impact on the world, which is to neutralize the negative impact that may occur in the future. .

"I think it's good." Yang Xiaoxiao smiled while holding his face, "I can understand your thoughts, because when I am with the stars I feel very happy, so happy I hope other people can also feel me This happiness."

"You are so cute..." Liu Huaxing bit her ear with a smile, "What about you? What would you like to do if one day comes?"

"Me?" Yang Xiaoxiao wrapped his neck around his neck and stroked the back of his head with a smile: "I don't know, maybe I'll open a restaurant with you. It shouldn't be too big. It would be nice to sit at four or five tables. Every day. Don’t sell for too long, make a dozen copies, and don’t do it when you’re tired. I don’t want to make money, but I want to meet some new people, and then gradually become acquainted with them.

"Then will you be the chef or am I the chef?" Liu Huaxing kissed the tip of her nose and smiled.

"Let's take turns and see whose meals the guests prefer." Yang Xiaoxiao smiled triumphantly.

If it were before, Liu Huaxing would definitely have to tease Yang Xiaoxiao, but now... this girl’s cooking skills are getting better and better. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. After Liu Huaxing started to write the script, Yang Xiaoxiao’s cooking frequency continued to increase, and his cooking level was also improved. The terrible speed continues to increase.

Liu Huaxing estimated that it might also be because Yang Xiaoxiao always cooks according to his favorite taste. She always asks his parents what kind of flavor he likes and learns to make it, so every time Liu Huaxing feels this The girl’s food is even better. However, leaving this aside, Yang Xiaoxiao's basic cooking skills are improving, which cannot be ignored.

"You little naughty, the food has become more and more delicious recently." Liu Huaxing kissed her neck and smiled.

"Uncles and aunts taught well..." Yang Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "That's why I can do better."

"Didn't you learn how to cook," Liu Huaxing gently stroked her cheek, "You learned how to love someone."

Yang Xiaoxiao's eyes became softer and softer. Although it was still dark, Liu Huaxing knew what was going to happen next, so he got up and quickly closed the curtains.
