At the end of November, Lin Zixuan received royalties from abroad for the first time.

The book Alive was published in France and the Netherlands, and more than a year has passed, and the two publishers have given their respective accounts.

There are sales records of books, various expenses, and finally the royalties Lin Zixuan deserves. It is very detailed, and it is converted into RMB 300,000, mainly from France.

Foreign publishing houses provide verification of accounts. Lin Zixuan must sign and confirm on it before the publishing house will send the royalties.

If you have any questions, please contact the publisher.

There is nothing to doubt about this. Lin Zixuan could not send someone to France to investigate the actual sales situation. It would be too unworthy. It could only be whatever the publisher said.

He signed the letter happily and the royalties will be deposited next month.

With the royalties of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, his income in royalties and royalties this year exceeded 500,000, which is a medium-sized rank among domestic writers.

Since domestic publishing houses and writers reached an agreement on royalties, writers' income has increased significantly.

This makes it possible to get rich in writing. It is not uncommon for writers with annual income of more than one million, and more and more will come in the future.

In the book publishing market, popular literature and bestsellers have become the mainstream.

Traditional writers have also had a new way to make money, that is, adapting film and television dramas. Some writers have changed their writing attitudes. The purpose of writing novels is to adapt, and even directly change their careers to become screenwriters.

As a result, the relationship between literature and film and television industries is becoming increasingly close.

Lin Zixuan didn't think so much. He was thinking about how to spend money when he had money.

If the assets of Haomeng Company are included, he and Mu Shanshan should have an industry of 20,000 yuan. Even if they cannot be compared with those big money, they are still considered the ones who got rich first.

They now have a house and a car, live a worry-free life and have a successful career.

In the Beijing entertainment industry, many actors start working side jobs after making money. Some open restaurants, and some start small businesses. Making money is one aspect, and it is also to leave a way out for themselves.

Generally, family members or relatives take care of themselves and do not participate.

There are not many actors like Liu Xiaoqing who devote most of their energy to the business world, and most of them have the mentality of playing around.

This is related to the current social atmosphere. The country encourages the tertiary industry and the service industry has achieved rapid development.

"Investing? What to invest?" Mu Shanshan said in confusion. "Real estate is quite popular, but our little money is not enough to make ends meet. It's better to keep it safe in the bank."

"How about opening a restaurant?" Lin Zixuan discussed, "In the future, we will have a place to eat and friends gather. Our place will be convenient and we will not be disturbed."

"This is OK," Mu Shanshan thought for a while and agreed, "But we don't know how to manage, so we have to ask someone to do it."

"I have planned to choose the location here in Shichahai, close to home, just ask relatives for help." Lin Zixuan planned, "We focus on celebrity restaurants. If you can meet celebrities when you come to have dinner, you should not be able to compensate."

"You can do it, just make money after losing money, just take it as accumulating experience." Mu Shanshan agreed.

Feng Xiaogang and Ge You found out about this matter and asked to join the gang. They even named the restaurant and called See you.

As December begins, the show is about to be released, and Lin Zixuan is busy.

He and Mu Zhiyuan discussed the crackdown on pirated CDs, which was difficult to operate. One reason was that the copyright awareness of the leaders above was relatively weak and did not pay attention to the harm of pirated CDs.

Also, it requires joint action from various departments, and coordination between departments alone takes time.

Furthermore, the base camp for pirated CDs is in the south, and the capital can only catch the bottom-level dealers. The contribution is not great, and no one is willing to mobilize the masses. This matter can only be left alone.

According to the formulated publicity plan, on December 17, Lin Zixuan took the crew to the three northeastern provinces.

The first stop was Shencheng. The first audience meeting organized by a local film company was to visit laid-off workers.

This is already an extremely realistic problem in the local area, but this is the first time the crew has encountered this situation.

Facing more than a thousand laid-off workers, everyone is in a difficult situation. I don’t know how many of these people are unemployed and how many are re-employed. I don’t know how to grasp their current mentality?

Finally, everyone decided to wish laid-off workers a happy New Year with a sincere attitude.

At this time, the movie that met has not yet been released, so I could only talk about some off-topics. The singer sang a song before he could deal with the meeting.

Next, the group followed the railway line all the way south, including Dalian, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, etc.

On this day in Beijing, it happened to be the premiere day that we met, that is, on December 25, the meeting was held after the audience watched the movie, and the audience in Beijing gave them face.

Especially for Ge You's performance, he gave unanimous praise.

At the meeting, Ge You and Xu Fan performed classic clips in the movie, which aroused enthusiastic response from the audience.

The more you go to the south of the city, the more enthusiastic the audience is. These people have watched the movie and feel very good about the movie.

The crew was working non-stop, almost one place, at least three meetings a day, and they were very tired, but seeing the enthusiasm of the audience and the cinema was crowded with audiences, everyone was very excited.

Feng Xiaogang repeatedly asked that although he was tired, he should not be indifferent to the audience and news organizations because of this, and he should meet the audience enthusiastically.

Ge You has always been easy-going and has no airs and can get along with the audience, so he is warmly welcomed by the audience wherever he goes.

While in Huacheng, the audience even joked with Ge You.

When the host asked the crew to meet everyone, the host did not give Ge You the microphone, but instead reached into the audience.

"Mr. Ge You rushed to Huacheng thousands of miles away. Do our Huacheng audiences want to greet him?" the host asked.

"You want." The audience replied in unison.

"So, how do we greet you?" the host said with bad intentions.

"Have you eaten?" the audience greeted.

Ge You on the stage was stunned, but he was worthy of being a good actor. He immediately reacted and said with a smile: "I didn't eat that!"

"Go home to eat if you don't have any food!" the audience laughed.

This is Ge You's line in the meeting. The audience has just watched the movie and still remembers it freshly. They used it to joke with Ge You.

Many lines in this film are talked about by the audience. After walking out of the theater, I can't stop laughing again when I think about it.

See you and Party A and Party B have a wider audience. The crew can feel that not only the audience in the north love to watch, but also the audience in the south can accept it.

The publicity effect is very obvious. With the strong reporting from news media in various places, the audience walked into the cinema.

When they returned to the capital from Huacheng, they were all gone for a week and the box office had already exceeded 8 million. To be continued.
