Huayu 2007: Starting with Super Boy!

Chapter 106 Novel Copyright Hoarding Plan

Zhao Liying joined the team.

This greatly enhanced the studio's capabilities.

Wang Yihan also had a new idea.

These days.

TV drama.

It has great potential.

08: A Year in which the Box Office Did Not Take Off.

A hit TV series can earn much more money than a movie.

Of course, the prerequisite is to get involved with a TV station with strong backing.

Moreover, they can't be afraid of Hunan TV.

I dare to challenge them.

The three brothers from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai heard this.

Wow, is there really such a good thing?

Whoever tries to mess with Hunan TV, we'll lend a hand.

Of course.

The premise is that it has to be worthwhile!

What does it mean to be worthwhile?

Of course, it's because TV dramas can make them money.

Make money, boost ratings, and incidentally take a hit with Hunan TV.

Three birds with one stone.

Only a fool wouldn't do it.

So, it's time to create some future hit dramas.

Later, most of the hugely popular TV dramas were based on novels.

Putting aside other things, just look at some of the hit dramas starring Zhao Liying: *Princess Agents*, *The Journey of Flower*, *Boss & Me*, *The Story of Ming Lan*...

Both are based on the original novel.

Currently, the IP value of these original novels is still relatively low.

So...wouldn't now be the perfect time to stock up?

hiss! ~

Thinking of this.

Wang Yihan immediately took action.

studio.

"Xiaohua, how much money do we have left in our studio's account?" Wang Yihan asked.

"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Zhang Hanyun looked at him, puzzled.

Immediately realizing something, she asked, "Are you worried about not having enough money to pay Liying's contract termination fee?"

"You don't need to worry about that. Although Tianyu is asking for an exorbitant five million, our studio can still afford it."

Zhang Hanyun quickly explained.

Zhang Hanyun Studio.

It nominally belongs to Zhang Hanyun.

However, the ownership of this company, that is, the legal representative and the shares, are actually in the name of Wang Yihan's mother.

Of course, this was something Zhang Hanyun herself insisted on.

On the surface, she was with Wang Yihan not for his money.

Wang Yihan was at a loss for words.

In the end, her opinion was adopted.

Even close brothers should keep clear accounts.

Couples should do the same.

Otherwise, entanglements of interests can damage relationships.

Of course, Zhang Hanyun also owns shares in the studio, but only a small portion.

This is something Wang Yihan insists on.

After all, it's a business that the two of them are working on together.

"That's not it. I have other uses for the money. Just tell me, how much is left after paying Zhao Liying the termination fee?" Wang Yihan asked, looking at her.

Zhang Hanyun blurted out, "In that case, the studio's account will only have a few hundred thousand left."

The studio's initial capital consisted of 4 million yuan left over after Wang Yihan bought a house, and over 1 million yuan left over after Zhang Hanyun paid a 500,000 yuan termination fee.

Therefore, the studio's total funding is over 500 million.

After paying Zhao Liying's termination fee, wouldn't only a few hundred thousand yuan be left?

Thinking of this, Zhang Hanyun panicked a little.

Normally, she isn't that sensitive to numbers.

I never imagined that my actions would nearly dry up the studio's cash flow.

What should we do?

"Don't worry." Wang Yihan held her soft hand and patted it gently, saying, "I have several large sums of money coming in soon."

"I'll just give you the studio's account; the money will be deposited directly into your account."

He noticed the worry still lingering on his girlfriend's face.

Wang Yihan had to reassure him again, "Listen carefully, I'll count for you how much money we'll have soon."

"The first income is from ringback tones. This income is very stable, about 500,000 yuan after tax every month. It has been deposited in the company for 6 months now, totaling 3 million yuan, which can be withdrawn at any time."

Hearing this, Zhang Hanyun's worries eased slightly.

Fortunately, although I'm a spendthrift, my husband is good at making money.

"The second source of income is from the album sales, which is the biggest part. As you know, the album sales exceeded 1.5 million. After deducting costs, the total profit was 33 million. I can get 50%, which is 16.5 million. After tax, it is 1122 million."

"Wow! Are there really that many?" Zhang Hanyun's eyes widened into the shape of '¥¥'.

"Mmm." Wang Yihan patted her head.

"Hehe... Is there anything else?" Zhang Hanyun seemed a little unsatisfied.

It feels so good to be lying at home counting your money.

"There's also the recent Pepsi endorsement fee, ten million. Sister Hua takes 2%, so after taxes, I'll probably have 544 million left."

Wang Yihan mentally calculated.

"Reset to zero, reset to zero..." Zhang Hanyun was already pressing the calculator.

Wang Yihan was both amused and exasperated.

He stopped her, saying, "Don't calculate it anymore, it's 1966 million in total."

Wang Yihan's mental arithmetic is faster than a calculator.

Zhang Hanyun pushed his hand away, "Just let me do the counting, satisfy my little hobby of counting money."

Okay...

Wang Yihan watched her press the calculator.

Finally, seeing that the numbers on the calculator were exactly the same as what Wang Yihan had said, she smiled with satisfaction.

"Wow! I'm rich! I don't even know how to spend it all. I'll buy a Nokia in my left hand and a Motorola in my right..."

Wang Yihan tapped her on the head: "What are you saying? You earn so much money, and all you do is buy two phones?"

"Ouch, don't hit me! I was just singing, an online song," Zhang Hanyun muttered, rubbing her head and giving him a reproachful look.

"It completely stunned me."

You're already a bit dim-witted, why would I need to knock?

Of course, he didn't say those words aloud.

After all, the truth can be hurtful.

"What song? I've never heard it before?" Wang Yihan changed the subject.

"Here, this is the song 'I Made Money'." Zhang Hanyun pulled it out on her phone and played it for him.

Hey...

It's actually an old song from 05.

It's still the same popular internet song from back then.

He had never heard of it.

Oh, back in 05 I was still in that crappy, militarized, boarding high school, so never mind.

"Alright, I'm here today to tell you that the studio will be incurring a large expense soon, so be careful."

Wang Yihan steered the conversation back on track.

"I still don't know what it's for?" Zhang Hanyun asked, staring at him with her big, cute eyes.

"Oh right, I haven't told you yet." Wang Yihan slapped her forehead.

When we chat, it always goes like this; the conversation drifts off to something completely different.

"Here's the thing: I'm planning to buy a batch of novel copyrights under the name of my studio, while the prices of these copyrights are still low."

"Whether I use it for my own photography or resell it in the future, I can make a fortune."

"What do you think?"

Wang Yihan looked at his girlfriend.

Zhang Hanyun shook her head: "I don't understand these things, but I know your decision is definitely right, and I wholeheartedly support it!"

Her words made Wang Yihan both laugh and cry. She tapped her forehead and said, "If you're this silly, you'll end up being sold out and still counting the money for the seller."

"Then are you willing to sell me?" Zhang Hanyun blinked at him pitifully.

Wang Yihan: "..."

Are we talking about the same thing?
