I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 206 Chen Jin's income in 2010
clap clap clap!
The audience burst into thunderous applause, and many viewers had tears in their eyes.

Many artists who were rehearsing were also wiping away tears.

After Zhao Benshan left the stage, he immediately sneaked to the front to watch the performance of Chen Jin's team without making any sound from beginning to end.

“This show is going to be a blast this year!”

“Yes, the audience response was great!”

"A lot of people cursed me online in the past few years, but in recent years many people have started to miss me!"

“The main thing is that this actor is amazing!”

"The stage effects are very good..."

"..."

Many artists were talking secretly, some were very moved; some had no expression on their faces, but they were actually sighing in their hearts.

The audience is the most resonant, they see it very intuitively.

It doesn’t mean that there are no audiences during rehearsals. Many CCTV employees will invite their families to watch the show together, mainly to give feedback on the programs; the other purpose is to allow the rehearsing staff to adapt to the live performance.

"really good!"

"Professor Lin, Chen Jin, the applause and response from the audience for your show was the most enthusiastic of all the shows!"

“I almost cried!”

Liu Gang was speaking with some shame. A middle-aged man with a round face and a hat came over. Liu Gang introduced him quickly, "This is Director Chen, the chief director of this year's Spring Festival Gala, Chen Linchun!"

"You're welcome. I now understand why the headquarters asked for special instructions!"

Chen Linchun held Lin Zhaohua and Chen Jin's hands, very excited.

This shocking feeling is just like what many audiences felt when they watched "Thousand-Armed Guanyin" live back then. 21 deaf-mute people with an average age of 21 performed the most classical group dance work in China.

The reaction of the whole audience at that time was also very sensational.

Facts have proved that this program is indeed successful. Not only was it performed at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, it has also toured countless countries, including the White House, the home base of the United States.

In fact, the signs of a good program can be seen during rehearsal.

For shows like "Not Short of Money" and Liu Qie's magic, the director had predicted the impact on the entire network.

This year, as expected, it was "沁园春·长沙". Zhao Benshan's "Planetary Conference" was totally bad. I don't know if it was because he was just stimulated by Chen Jin, or if the original punchline in the script was not revealed, but there were not many laughs in the audience.

He was still hesitating whether to change the sketch.

After Zhao Benshan was rejected several times in the past few years, he now has the habit of preparing two skit scripts for the annual CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

Usually one skit is rehearsed in the first half of the night and the other is performed in the second half, with both skits running at the same time.

“We’ll have to make adjustments later in the show!”

"Your program shouldn't change much. It just depends on Lao Zhao's schedule!"

"Wait for the second row!"

There are usually 4-5 rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala, all of which are done at short notice.

By the time the first rehearsal of the day was over, it was already evening; Chen Jin and the others were actually very tired, but as young people, they were still very excited.

In fact, Spring Festival Gala rehearsals are much more tiring than censorship.

After the rehearsal, some programs needed to be adjusted and modified, and they had to be rehearsed privately. Even for someone as strong as Zhao Benshan, the script had to be revised many times. In the next less than a month, basically every day was spent on the program.

The same is true for Chen Jin and others. He can't go to the crew of "Life Events" at all, and everything has to be focused on the show.

So for the next period of time, Chen Jin and others were polishing the program, determined to make the most perfect presentation on the Spring Festival Gala; and before they knew it, the time had come to the 28th.

The fifth rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala has ended.

Everyone, not just Chen Jin's team, were exhausted and collapsed in the backcourt.

Fortunately, such days are about to end, and in less than five days it will be the annual Spring Festival.

"We rehearse every other day before the Spring Festival Gala!"

Lin Zhaohua told everyone that although there was nothing much to change in the program, stage plays were something that would become more perfect the more they were polished.

Whether it is cooperation or performance.

Their show time is exactly at 10 o'clock, which is the prime time of the Spring Festival Gala; it is still scheduled after Zhao Benshan's show. Old Zhao really changed the script. A few days ago, some media exposed the script of "Planetary Conference" and took photos of it, marking all the funny points in it one by one.

It's so unethical that security was strengthened at the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala!

It's not easy for Old Zhao either. He has written 21 versions of the sketch "You, My Deskmate" before the final version was finalized.

Every time after finishing the manuscript, he had to start rehearsing with his apprentices immediately. Even the slightest adjustment had to be made. They would rehearse starting in the evening and continuing until late at night.

He will be busy in the next few days.

So it is reasonable for him to be inflated, because he may feel that he has suffered and been wronged by the Spring Festival Gala.

"The program list for tonight's Spring Festival has been exposed, right?"

A student lying there suddenly said, and another guy said, "Our program was actually exposed a few days ago. That idiot, don't let me know who it is, or I'll break his legs!"

"Our dance program is fine, but the skit was leaked in advance and it was really ruined!"

Once the joke is revealed, the humor will be much lower. However, in a stage play, there are not so many taboos, and it mainly depends on the performance of the actors.

"I guess when the program list is exposed, people will scold again!"

"Of course, I curse every year and watch it every year..."

"Is there a possibility that the TV is turned on and there is a noise?"

“Haha, it’s possible!”

Everyone was chatting there, apparently regaining some energy, but Chen Jin walked aside with his cell phone.

"mom!"

"How was it, son? Did you enjoy the Spring Festival Gala?"

A few days ago, Su Wanyu called Chen Jin and asked him when he would go home for the New Year. He was a little stunned when he heard that he would be going out on the first day of the new year.

Su Wanyu didn't let him go until Chen Jin said that he might participate in the Spring Festival Gala.

Performing on the Spring Festival Gala is a big deal, so Chen Jin didn't say it so confidently, because being screened out during the rehearsal was normal.

"Yes, confirmed!"

"Great!"

Su Wanyu's voice was trembling, and she cried a little: "Son, good job!"

"Well done!"

The emotions that were suppressed at this moment seemed to be finalized with Chen Jin's words.

In fact, she hadn't slept well for several days because of complicated feelings.

Going home for the Spring Festival is what parents hope for, but since their children have become successful, they can't stop them; but Su Wanyu still wants to see her son.

"I'm back on the first day of the new year!"

Chen Jin had no way to comfort them, but he could understand his parents' feelings.

"Yes, I'll come and inform your grandparents right away!"

"They must be so happy to see you on TV. My son has really made it!"

Su Wanyu wiped the corners of her eyes. After thinking about it, Chen Jin felt that she still had to give a shot of prevention: "Mom, then...well, maybe the show doesn't look like me at all. Don't doubt it after watching it. It's me. I'm wearing makeup!"

"I'm not your mother so bad that I don't even recognize my own son!"

"Why, have you changed a lot in the past six months?"

Su Wanyu obviously didn't take this seriously.

"No, I put on makeup, but it's a little different than what you imagined!"

"It's okay. My son looks handsome no matter how he puts on makeup. I'm sure I can recognize you!"

This...is not necessarily the case.

Chen Jin smiled, chatted with Su Wanyu for a few words, and then hung up the phone.

When Chen Jin thought about the whole family of relatives sitting in front of the TV and watching his show, that scene... he didn't dare to even think about it.

Fortunately, Chen Jin's grandparents are all alive and well and don't have any serious illnesses, otherwise if they have heart disease, Chen Jin might have to remind them.

Chen Jin didn't take this little episode to heart.

After having dinner with the team, Chen Jin sent Zhu Yanmanzi home and then returned to the rental house.

The program list for the 2011 Spring Festival Gala in the Year of the Rabbit has been officially released online.

This is a routine announcement for the Spring Festival Gala.

Chen Jin opened Weibo and saw that many people were discussing it.

Indeed, many of them are insults.

"After this program list was released, I didn't have much to look forward to!"

"Jay is okay, I want to watch this show with Lin Chi-ling!"

"Just take a look at Zhao Benshan..."

"And Han Geng!"

"Get lost upstairs. Does Han Geng have any representative works?"

"Anyway, I just watch Zhou Jielun and Benshan's!"

"+1!"

Chen Jin flipped through the pages for a while and suddenly saw his own comment.

"Haha, did you guys watch Chen Jin's performance? He seemed to be reciting poetry!"

"I'm thinking about the casting of The Founding of a Party again. I can't imagine this guy playing the leading male role!" "Chen Jin's acting skills are actually OK, but I don't think he can play that role!"

"I guess he was just reciting poetry? It's so awkward, doing this on the Spring Festival Gala stage..."

“I can’t imagine it!”

"I guess this was forced by the crew of The Founding of a Party?"

"Haha, before the show comes out I can only laugh, let's see how he gets scolded after the show!"

"You still want to watch it? The name of this show doesn't interest me!"

"That's right, it's a brilliant and righteous thing, it's like everyone knows "Qin Yuan Chun Changsha"!"

"..."

Damn, Chen Jin thought that after winning the Venice Film Festival and the box office explosion of Love Is Not Blind, his popularity among the public would at least be better.

I didn't expect that there are still so many people criticizing it.

It is indeed easy to please female fans.

It is still very difficult to get these male netizens to change their tone.

But what can I say!

Female fans can betray if they want to, and can turn from fans to haters in a matter of seconds; male fans are better, and are not so easily led by public opinion. Unless the fandom is really ruined, male fans are more loyal than female fans.

Just like the fans of Guo Xun and Wu Jing in later generations, there are actually more male fans than female fans.

Like Xiao and Bo, they are basically all women and can't support much box office at all.

Things like popularity among the public are also a form of metaphysics.

Buzz!
The phone on the table rang, Chen Jin took a look and quickly answered it.

"Sister Pu Lun!"

"Your box office has exceeded 8 million yuan, so you really don't care about the small amount of money from the studio, right?"

Pu Lun was teasing, and Chen Jin quickly said, "How can that be possible!"

《失恋33天》在12月24日平安夜那天，正式突破了8亿票房大关；而这2个月的延期秘钥，圣诞、元旦外加贺岁档，又增加了2100万的票房。

Therefore, the final box office figure of "Love Is Not Blind" is around 33 million yuan!

It has far surpassed the box office record of 6.49 million set by "Aftershock" this year.

"Director Zhang asked me to inform you to come to the studio tomorrow!"

"Ok!"

The New Year is approaching, and most brokerage companies will settle the year's dividends for their artists before the New Year.

This is almost a common practice in the industry.

The box office share of "Love Is Not Blind" will be received gradually in the next six months.

Although the Film Bureau stipulates that settlement should be made once a month, regulations are regulations. Box office revenue is generally settled six months after the film is released. Sometimes it may take one or two years to settle, so the account period is very long.

If the film company wants to shoot a new film in a hurry, there is only one way, which is to ask the bank for cash flow.

It's almost a similar operation.

With the box office of "Love Is Not Blind" reaching 33 million yuan, Chen Jin's final income was about 8.21 million yuan.

The box office revenue share must first be deducted from the platform service fee, 5% of the film special fund, and 3.3% of the value-added tax.

This means the net box office revenue is 7.53 million yuan!

After deducting the 7% share of the cinema chain and the 50% share of the cinema center, the money is the box office revenue of the film, which is 3.24 million!
In fact, we have to thank Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping for this share of the profits.

The two of them have secured benefits for filmmakers across the country several times. In the beginning, the film company's share was only 37%. It was the release of "Hero", "House of Flying Daggers" and "Curse of the Golden Flower" that made the theaters and cinemas make concessions again and again, and the share was increased to the current 43%!

Of course, the cinema was unwilling at first, and after several protests, the Film Bureau finally took action in 06 and formulated such a profit-sharing system.

And the 3.24 million yuan still has to deduct the publicity and distribution fees of China Film.

The distributor China Film will take 13%, but the box office of "Love Is Not Blind" exceeded 33 million yuan, so the agency fee will be waived.

So actually, it only takes a little more than 11% to be given to China Film.

This is the national regulation.

Moreover, the state will provide corresponding rewards to films that make significant contributions to the box office.

The reward is around several million.

There will also be some bonus mechanisms for winning the corresponding awards of the three major domestic awards, such as Best Picture, Best Director, etc.

In short, Chen Jin definitely made a fortune this time.

"Love Is Not Blind" is conservatively estimated to have made a profit of over 33 million yuan.

Since the distribution rights to other countries and regions can be sold later, this should also be able to sell for several million.

There are also the new media copyrights of the Internet film and the television copyrights of the Six Princesses... together they can amount to more than 1000 million.

The higher the box office of a film, the higher its sales.

"Take a look at your dividend income this year!"

"No problem, sign and pay!"

Pu Lun handed a list to Chen Jin, which detailed various commercial performances, endorsements, portraits, etc.

After excluding the 30% share of the studio, Chen Jin's total before tax was more than 573 million.

This income is actually relatively low among the current first-line artists; the main reason is that Chen Jin has not taken on many endorsements in recent months. She only appeared on Mango TV last time and received an appearance fee of 150 million.

Xiao Zhu's income is much worse, a total of more than 30 yuan, including her monthly salary.

However, Chen Jin still has to share 573% of the brokerage commission of the 10 million with Pu Lun!
Mainly, she works two jobs, one for Zhang Yimou's studio and one for Chen Jin's agent, and this is what she deserves.

She is the one who usually negotiates for endorsements and commercial performances.

"Happy New Year, Sister Pu Lun!"

After Chen Jin signed, he suddenly took out a big red envelope.

"For me?"

"Extra, Sister Pu Lun, thank you for your hard work!"

Chen Jin smiled, and Pu Lun of course declined a few times, until Chen Jin said that everyone in the studio had one, and then she became impolite.

"It really is Mr. Chen, rich and powerful!"

"Ha ha!"

Pu Lun pinched it. The red envelope was at least 1 yuan. Chen Jin really had nothing to say to everyone in the studio.

Drivers, assistants, etc., actually.

The only ones missing are Zhang Yimou and Pang Liwei.

Chen Jin really didn't care much about the income of this studio. After paying taxes and so on, it was less than 500 million.

Compared with the share of "Love Is Not Blind", it is obviously not enough.

It's perfect for doing favors.

"Sister Pu Lun, please pass on the others' for me!"

"I have to rehearse. I don't have that much time!"

"Okay, I'm soft-hearted, leave it to me!"

Pu Lun said this with a smile on her face. Chen Jin chatted with her for a while and then walked out of the studio.

Zhang Yimou was not there.

Only after walking out the door did Chen Jin feel the atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

The sound of crackling cannons...

Every household along the way is decorated with lights to welcome the New Year, and the community is filled with lanterns. Children are playing and playing there. There are also shouts along the street, firecrackers and fireworks... Red streets and pavements are everywhere.

The once ten-mile-long street is now so prosperous, with the eternal red color blooming in the starry night, competing with the scorching sun.

“It’s Chinese New Year, so lively!”

The flavor of the year is very strong.

Unlike later generations, it seems to be getting weaker and weaker.

Looking out from the car, you can see busy people walking back and forth in the city everywhere, and everyone has a hopeful smile on their face.

"May my motherland prosper forever!"

At this moment, this was the only thought in Chen Jin's mind.

Yes, after watching the Spring Festival of the future autobiographical film and what he saw and heard, all his inner wishes are that this country will get better and better.

Chen Jin never denied that there were many bad people, but the great and lovely people made him still believe that the future was promising.

"Let's work together, my lovely country!"

Chen Jin picked up his phone and took a picture of the scene in front of him.

There was also a bright smile on the corner of his mouth!

……

A few days later, the 2011 Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Rabbit finally kicked off amid many netizens' complaints and disapproval.

Dozens of Chen Jin's family members, neighbors, friends, etc. were already sitting in his living room, waiting for the Spring Festival Gala to begin.

Chen Jin's classmates and friends, including Zhang Yimou and Han Sanpin, are also paying attention.
