Chapter 535: Mr. Song In White
Yun Xiangxiang thought that she would be on vacation after her exams. Most of her classmates would go home during the winter vacation, so those who lived in Beijing would occasionally visit her.
What she planned for vacation was to take photos of her daily life and post them online as a form of welfare for her fans.
Yun Lin was on vacation earlier than Yun Xiangxiang. Yun Xiangxiang asked Ai Li to send her back to his hometown in advance and also called her parents to tell them about her.
Yun Zhibin and Su Xiuling sighed. It was really difficult to see their daughter now, but then again, they were also busy during the winter holiday. They had to move around among their relatives all year round, so they couldn’t find the time to come to Beijing to look for their daughter.
Yun Xiangxiang thought about it and promised repeatedly that she would go home for the Spring Festival. Only then did her parents feel a little comforted.
After the exam, Yun Xiangxiang rejected Tang Suran’s invitation to the Tang family’s New Year banquet. Firstly, she had to catch up on her own progress. Secondly, Song Mian did not come back in time, so she didn’t have any desire to go.
Early in the morning of the 26th, He Wei said to her with a face full of joy, “First Love’s box office earnings have exceeded 17 million.”
Yun Xiangxiang had entered the top 10 box office earnings in France and was ranked sixth. First, she was famous for her paintings, then she was famous for her film. Now, her popularity in France was also on the rise.
“It just so happened that double happiness is upon us. Jiu Se’s box office earnings exceeded 1.5 billion yesterday.” Xue Yu happily showed Yun Xiangxiang his phone.
From now until the end of the 31st, Yun Xiangxiang would have the right to split the box office earnings from these six days.
The first 1.5 billion had nothing to do with Yun Xiangxiang, but He Wei still managed to get a large portion of the box office earnings after that.
Looking at ‘Jiu Se,’ the average box office earnings were more than 30 million per day. In the next six days, it would be between 200 million and 300 million.
Now that the student body was on holiday, the box office earnings were still not very low. It was higher than the first day of many newly released films.
With this 200 million and 300 million, according to the contract, Yun Xiangxiang would be able to get at least 20 million, which was more than her salary.
The old men were probably mad now. If they had chosen the first plan, Yun Xiangxiang would not have gotten so much even if she had taken a thousand percent of the total net profit.
However, they did not believe that “Jiu Se,” with that unpopular theme, could reach 1.7 billion at the box office. They felt that even if it barely reached 1.5 billion, even if it was 1.6 billion, Yun Xiangxiang would, at most, be able to get 5 to 6 million.
This money was split from the profits of Huan Yu Century Entertainment. It had nothing to do with the theater chains. If Yun Xiangxiang split more, the company’s revenue would be less. If the company’s was less, then the shareholders’ would naturally be less.
Xue Yu had been in the company for many years, and he really could not stand seeing so many people. If it were not for He Wei, He Zhen and He Shen, who were decent people, with his current status, he would have long parted ways with Huan Yu Century Entertainment and started his own business.
At the thought of those people’s ashen faces, he felt as if he had earned a huge sum of money and was so happy.
“Don’t get carried away,” He Wei warned in a low voice.
Even though the crew of “Flying Sky” was made up of Xie Manliang and had the investment of the era of stars, to reach success was still a very complicated process. However, there were many people in Huan Yu Century Entertainment, so there was no need to offend a villain just because of a word.
Xue Yu swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, but he did not hold back the joy on his face. He was happy for his junior sister’s results, okay?
“Speaking of which, Old He, when are you going to get me a share of the profits?” Xue Yu said pitifully.
Although he was being treated for the first time and still had some shares in Huan Yu Century Entertainment, he still did not have the right to split the profits.
“Do you know why I didn’t let you?” He Wei asked instead of answering.
“It’s not because I’m old.” Xue Yu snorted.
Yun Xiangxiang smiled, took the script in her hand, and knocked on Xue Yu’s head. “My Silly Senior, did you take it seriously?”
“It’s what he said,” Xue Yu grumbled unhappily.
“Yes, you’re old. You’re too old.” He Wei glanced at him. “You’re a money tree. Who doesn’t have eyes?”
Xue Yu was different from Yun Xiangxiang. He had grown steadily in Huan Yu Century Entertainment step by step. Before he had grown, the film market had yet to have such a large market.
Five years ago, it was impossible for a film to break one billion, but now, it was not difficult at all.
At that time, no one would have thought of this. By the time they could think of this, Xue Yu was already the face of Huan Yu Century Entertainment.
The reason why this brand was a brand was because he was popular, had many fans, and had a good reputation for his work.
Everyone knew Xue Yu’s appeal and ability. Only a fool would gamble. Yun Xiangxiang had taken advantage of a loophole, and with He Wei’s proper operation, she had gained greatly from it.
If it was Xue Yu, no matter how unpopular a film was, if he wanted to split the profits—whether it was the company or the film that was invested outside—the minimum guarantee of 2.5 billion was considered low.
In short, no one was easy to fool. The conditions that he proposed would definitely be difficult to meet.
If he wanted to split the profits, he would either not get paid for the film, or the pay would be extremely low. Not only would it affect his influence, but it would also affect the brand, reputation, and value of the film.
How would He Wei dare to let Xue Yu try it?
“What about ‘Flying Sky’?” Xue Yu was still unwilling to give up.
He was now a man who was fighting for an RV! Moreover, splitting the profits was another form of recognition and symbol.
“Do you think the company is stupid, or do you think Chen Yinghui is stupid?” He Wei asked in an unfriendly tone. “Don’t talk about yourself. Even your junior sister is in this film. If the two of you add up, if you dare to split the profits, they will dare to ask for four billion at the box office!”
Four billion was an astronomical figure. The current film industry did not even dare to think about it. After all, the highest record was only 2.5 billion.
Moreover, the film was almost finished, and the contract was signed before the filming. What was the point of making a fuss at this time?
Moreover, it was a film invested by his own company. If this were to spread, Xue Yu would not be able to have a good reputation in the future.
“I’m just saying.” He understood the logic, but he just wanted to satisfy his mouth.
He Wei couldn’t be bothered with him. He turned around and reminded Yun Xiangxiang, “After you finish shooting today, go and apply for a leave. Tomorrow, take the plane to France with me.”
She was going to participate in SQ’s brand event on the 29th. It was also six or seven hours later there, but Yun Xiangxiang thought that she had to get over the jet lag earlier. The plane ride would take about ten hours, so it was just right to leave on the night of the 27th.
It just so happened to be the night of the 27th on the other side, so she would definitely have a good night’s sleep. She had to get ready and understand the process of the event.
Yun Xiangxiang thought that He Wei must have informed her that she was going to ask for a leave, but Xie Manliang did not make things difficult for her and readily approved it.
When she was video-chatting with Song Mian that night, Yun Xiangxiang thought that this was the first time she saw Song Mian wearing a white coat.
He was slender and had a very good figure. He walked on the clothes rack, wore a shirt and tie under it, and paired it with a medical white coat. This made Yun Xiangxiang think of these words: the Temptation of a uniform.
His short black hair was about 20-80 centimeters long, and most of it was leaning to the right. It was light and fluffy, but it had a special layered feel.
