Chapter 672 Investment Advice! (14)

I tidied up the office, mainly helping Dilraba organize her clothes.

I'll come see you tonight!

"...I have to go to Shanghai first thing tomorrow morning..."

"I'm going to the airport first thing tomorrow morning too!"

"Huh? What are you going to the airport for?"

"To film 'Running Man'!"

Shen Yan nodded: "Okay, I'll send you the address later..."

"I'll be going now..."

After seeing Reba off, Shen Yan didn't stay in the office. Instead, he went downstairs to the tea room to have some tea...

Ji Xiang walked over with a cup in his hand: "Dilraba is gone?"

"Um…"

"...Is filming of 'La La Land' going smoothly?"

“…Huh?” Shen Yan didn’t quite follow his train of thought, but still nodded: “It went quite smoothly… Has the revenue sharing for ‘Burning’ arrived yet?”

"It's already been sent, approximately $770 million!"

That's over 5000 million RMB...

"Not bad either..."

Do you think an American version of "Sheep Without a Shepherd" has any potential?

"They probably won't lose money... They set the group to feature Black people and then associated it with racial discrimination..."

“Racial discrimination…” Ji Xiang was speechless: “A perfectly good suspense film has been turned into a racial discrimination film?”

"America has its own unique circumstances..."

Ji Xiang smiled and asked, "Why don't they sell the adaptation rights to 'The Big Shot'? I heard that 'The Big Shot 2' grossed over $1400 million at the North American box office!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan shrugged: "Maybe they think the story in 'The Big Shot' is too childish..."

Ji Xiang pondered for a moment: "That makes sense. Their villains are all terrorists... Zhao Tai in 'The Big Shot' isn't really a big bad guy to them..."

Shen Yan changed the subject: "...Will the interview be held at the company later?"

"That's not decided yet... Would you like to work at the company?"

"Let's just stay at the company; it'll save me the trouble of moving around..."

"Then I'll go and inform them!"

……

Given Shen Yan's current status, his willingness to grant an exclusive interview is a sign of respect for the platform!

They will definitely cooperate with his work...

The interview will definitely revolve around "Major Life Events," it's all part of the promotion!
These kinds of interviews follow a set formula, usually involving anecdotes from filming, memorable experiences, and opinions on box office performance and the market…

It all basically revolves around these...

At most, I'll ask about La La Land.

The interview ended after three hours…

Shen Yan asked the staff to see them off, and checked the time…

I've decided to go back to the hotel first!

He needs to catch up on his sleep first…

A big battle is definitely going to happen tonight!
Just as he had imagined, Dilraba pounced on him as soon as she entered the room…

Shen Yan caught her and then showed her around the hotel layout: sofa, table, bathroom, and of course, bedroom…

Forget about the balcony!
After all, nobody knows if there's anyone next door...

Shen Yan checked the time—it was almost nine o'clock!
That means it will start around 7:30...

Three times, with an average time of half an hour...

It's OK!
Feeling quite pleased with himself, he made a phone call, ordered food, then bent down, picked up Dilraba, and they took a shower together…

However, Shen Yan underestimated the water temperature and ran out in three minutes!

"Aren't you going to wash your hair?"

"My chubby friend told me I don't need to wash my hair often... once every five days is enough..."

Shen Yan was a little surprised: "You actually know Fan Xiaopang?"

Dilraba was speechless: "I also filmed 'The Empress of China'..."

"Oh...I almost forgot..."

She played Consort Xiao…

Just as they were about to continue their conversation, someone knocked on the door. Shen Yan gestured for her to go to the bedroom, and then... she prepared to open the door!
Wrapped in a bath towel!

What if the delivery person sees this...?

Tsk tsk! Shen Yan panicked: "I'll do it..."

Then Dilraba covered her mouth and quickly ran to the bedroom to hide. Only after all the noise stopped did she tiptoe out...

"I'm sorry, I'm used to it."

Shen Yan waved his hand: "...It's okay, you must be hungry too, have something to eat!"

……

After "Goodbye My Princess"... actually, it didn't even need to be "Goodbye My Princess," after "Running Man," Dilraba was already the most popular post-90s female star...

He has added 17 new endorsements, including many major brands such as Adidas, Mosen Eyewear, Valentino, and Louis Vuitton…

We are currently in contact with nearly ten other brands.

In terms of business resources, apart from Yang Mi and Liu Shishi who can compete with her, everyone else, including Liu Yifei, is far behind!

The film and television resources are also excellent…

Honestly, if Stephen Chow hadn't chosen Lin Yun for "The Mermaid," Dilraba could have been a contender!
Currently, he has taken on two films, "The Lost Tomb" and "I Belonged to You", and two TV series, "Ode to Joy" and "The Poisonous Daughter of a Concubine"—"The Poisonous Daughter of a Concubine" was later renamed "The Princess Weiyoung".

The film and television resources are also top-notch!

It's worth noting that Tang Yan was originally the intended choice for the role in "The Poisonous Daughter of a Concubine," but Dilraba snatched it away!
Regardless of the nature of this matter, just looking at the production company's attitude, it's clear that Dilraba could indeed steal Tang Yan's thunder!

However, Shen Yan was a little speechless: "Is Running Man going to film two seasons this year?"

"Yes!"

"You still have two movies and two TV series to film? Where will you find the time to rest?"

Dilraba waved her hand: "...I'm not in a hurry to rest..."

"This is no longer a question of whether we're in a hurry or not; the current situation is downright oppressive!"

Dilraba shook her head: "Didn't you also film five movies this year?"

“I’m different…” Shen Yan explained, “I agreed beforehand… and I can make time to rest!”

"What's the difference... You're also a director..." Dilraba said somewhat indignantly, then added, "My management team thinks I'm currently very popular, so they want me to take on more projects..."

"alright."

Shen Yan didn't want to say anything either...

After all, the busier Dilraba is, the more she earns…

He's also considered Dilraba's boss—Ji Xiang's agency, in which Shen Yan holds a 38% stake…

Reba quickly finished eating, picked up a glass of fruit wine and drank it in one gulp, then remembered something: "By the way, I have a question for you!"

"What?"

"What did you buy with the money you made?"

"Buy stocks!" Shen Yan retorted. "What's wrong? You've got money and don't know how to manage it?"

"Yes," Dilraba admitted!

Okay, her current commission rate is 3:7, so she gets 70%.
The contract was amended; it was originally 7:3—the company would take 70%.

Who can blame them for becoming so popular!
That's how it is with managing artists; once they become popular, you definitely have to give them a discount!
This is easy to understand. When the artists under your management become stars and form a strong personal brand, many resources will come to them, not the company.

At this point, both the brokerage firm and the agent should change their mindset: he is no longer just a money-making tool for you; you should treat him as a partner.

Support him, rather than forcibly commanding him to act according to your own ideas!
That's exactly what Ji Xiang did.

After "Running Man", the contract was immediately amended - Dilraba could take 70% of all the profits, 20% would be handed over to the company as a commission, and the remaining 10% would go to her management team.

Reba earned a lot of money.

Could you give me a rough estimate?

"I bought my parents a big villa... and there should still be over 80 million in their account!"

"So filial..." Shen Yan retorted, "Why don't you buy it yourself?"

"I own a house..."

"You mean the Xinghewan Langyuan apartment complex?"

"Yes!"

"Sell that apartment... That neighborhood isn't good enough. Maybe consider buying one in Manhe BJ or Panhai Shijia..."

Dilraba shook her head: "I don't plan to buy a house... I've been living in hotels since I started working, and I don't know whether to settle in Shanghai or Beijing. I feel that staying in hotels is more convenient!"

Shen Yan shook his head: "Buying a house is a fixed asset. Even if you don't live in it, leaving it there is still an investment!"

"What else besides buying a house?"

"...Buy gold and hoard it!"

"Huh? You're not kidding?"

"Are you kidding me? I've hoarded almost 500 kilograms of gold myself!"

Why are you buying gold?

"Investment... in fixed assets!"
