Chapter 81 The Tycoon 1
Chapter 81 The Tycoon 1
After dinner.
The rain outside hadn't stopped. Su Qing and Huang Min sat on the living room sofa and chatted for about half an hour before Su Qing got up and left. Huang Yun attentively saw her off.
As Su Qing drove away.
The girl, holding an umbrella, stood in the pouring rain, waving and smiling as she said, "Sister Su, please consider my brother! He used to be poor, but now it's different—he's a super-rich man."
Su Qing rolled down the car window, ignoring the raindrops blown onto her by the wind. She waved to Huang Yun, who happily walked over with an umbrella.
As she drew closer, Su Qing countered, "Remember two months ago, you asked me a similar question, and how did I answer you?!"
"What!?"
Huang Yun was speechless.
"I used to earn 50,000 a month, and now it's even more. I don't need to sacrifice myself and have to have his child."
talking.
Su Qing smiled faintly: "Your brother likes to freeload. He took me out to eat with the boss three times and never paid the bill. Once he clearly said he was treating me to dinner, but after the meal he just sat there slowly drinking a cup of tea. I couldn't argue with him, so I had to pay the bill. You, as his sister, are no less shameless. You just want to freeload off others. Your family's feng shui is too good... I'm not good enough for you."
As the car turned, Su Qing stepped on the gas, and the car drove towards the entrance of the residential area.
"My brother was appreciating tea."
Realizing what was happening, Huang Yun quickly called out to the car that had already driven some distance away.
That's plain water.
Su Qing's voice came through the heavy rain at night.
"The food must have been a bit too salty that day."
Huang Yun explained again on behalf of her older brother, but this time she didn't get a reply from her sister Su Qing. She might have heard it, but the car had driven far away, and the continuous heavy rain blocked her from hearing it.
Go back upstairs.
Huang Yun noticed that her older brother had finished showering while she was downstairs seeing Sister Su off. She was used to this; her brother's showering was as casual as rubbing water on himself and then rinsing it off. She asked angrily, "Brother, Sister Su just told me something. She said you once invited her to dinner and deliberately dawdled before paying the bill. Is that true?!"
"What's the difference between her paying and me paying?!"
Huang Min was surprised that his sister would ask such a question, and his expression was somewhat astonished: "I pay her salary, what's wrong with her spending it on me!?"
"..."
Huang Yun was taken aback.
She felt there was something wrong with what her older brother had said, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Xu Li, standing next to her, couldn't help but laugh. Huang Yun turned to her and asked, "Did my brother say something wrong?!"
"That's right, that's right."
Xu Li smiled and waved her hands repeatedly.
"elder brother"
Since there were no problems, Huang Yun didn't bother with it anymore. She called out with a grin and moved closer to Huang Min, taking her older brother's arm: "Can I ask you a question? This afternoon, Xu Li and I went to see your movie 'The Terror Live,' it was super good. After the movie, Xu Li went to the library to buy books, and I sat down and flipped through some pages. Brother, your movie has grossed almost 500 million yuan in total. Tell me honestly, how much money has our family made?"
Xu Li also cast a curious glance at her.
"Not many."
Huang Min thought for a moment and replied, "After deducting 54% for the cinemas, 5% for the film industry development fund, 3.3% for value-added tax, 7% for the distribution agents, and 5% for your Uncle Zhou, only 27% or 28% belongs to our family. Based on 500 million, that's about 120 to 130 million."
"So little!?"
Huang Yun said with a hint of regret, "You've been working so hard, and now someone else is making the money."
"That's quite a lot."
Huang Min said, "With a total investment of over six million, making a profit of twenty or thirty times is already a great success."
Huang Min is quite satisfied with the success of the film "The Terror Live," mainly due to its distribution... Once the next film is completed, Dong Sheng Pictures will meet the requirement of having produced two films or TV series. The remaining requirements are similar to having full-time distribution experience, publicity personnel, and that the company's legal representative and shareholders have no record of penalties or major breaches of trust in the film industry in the past three years.
Then you can apply to the State Film Administration for a film distribution and operation license.
This saves several percentage points in distribution agency fees.
Besides that... there's also the box office revenue sharing promised to Teacher Zhou for the next movie, so even if the next film achieves a similar box office result to "The Terror Live", Dong Sheng Pictures won't make much money.
However, at least for now, Dong Sheng Pictures has survived from the brink of death, which is the most crucial step. If they don't even have the ability to survive, how can they talk about development?
Only by surviving can one have the right to talk about the future.
Huang Min patted his sister's shoulder and continued, "It should be more than that. Although the box office dropped less yesterday, tomorrow and the day after are Sunday. Even if there isn't a significant increase in these two days, as long as the decline can be stopped, it should still reach 600 million. Then there's still a two-week run, and if we add another 100 million, it will be 700 million. Our family should be able to earn more than 200 million."
"So, you're about to become a billionaire with assets exceeding two hundred million?!"
Huang Yun's gloomy expression vanished in an instant, and she became excited again: "Brother, you're amazing now! You've been acting for so many years before, and you've never earned this much money. This time, it's only been three or four months! And you've already earned so much!"
"If that's what you want to say, I won't object."
Huang Min laughed.
Two hundred million sounds like a lot, but next... he'll need to spend money on many things: the signing fee for Teacher Zhou, the office space that Dongsheng Film Studio needs to rent and the recruitment of many people, and at the same time, he'll need to formally establish his own filming team, which is almost like transforming from a guerrilla force into a regular army.
As Huang Min got up and went into his study to polish the script, he heard his younger sister's voice behind him, speaking to her classmate Xu Li: "You refused to be my sister-in-law before, now you regret it! My brother will soon not only be a billionaire worth over 200 million, but also the boss of an entertainment company."
Huang Min smiled and ignored the two girls who were joking around.
Sitting in his study chair, Huang Min opened his laptop and got to work. The rain was still falling outside the window, accompanied by strong gusts of wind. The wind carried the raindrops and made a "pitter-patter" sound as they hit the glass.
At a certain moment.
Outside, there was the sound of something being blown down by the wind and landing downstairs.
Xu Li walked in and placed a cup of tea she had poured on Huang Min's desk. Huang Min looked up at her, smiled, and thanked her.
"You're welcome. I should be thanking you and Huang Yun."
"Need not"
Seeing that Huang Yun's brother didn't seem to want to chat with her any longer, Xu Li said softly, "You're busy," and walked out. Just as she left, Huang Min's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was from his sister's tutor, An He.
"Just came out of the theater. The Terror Live was great."
