Monday, January 17, morning.

Cheng Yu's big villa, under the pergola.

His villa was built on a hill, surrounded by tall and luxuriant trees, and under the trees there was a pergola, in which a small tea table was placed, and a few chairs and a chaise longue were scattered beside it.

At this moment, Cheng Yu was holding a big cigar and reading the script.

Peng Xiangming was leaning on his large recliner, squinting lazily, enjoying the cool and cool of the sea breeze in the shade of the trees.

On this side of Qiongzhou Island, the blue sky is white and the sun is shining.

It is said that the maximum temperature on the island is still as high as 32 degrees today. You must know that in Yanjing, the recent maximum temperature is only four or five degrees, and it is cloudy and hazy at every turn.

When the plane just landed, I could only feel a damp and stuffy heat, which was not actually comfortable, but today I relaxed and deliberately came over to be a guest and chat, especially in this kind of villa by the mountains and the sea, I immediately noticed that it was good here.

It can only be said that rich people will always enjoy it.

It's a pity that Zhou Shunqing's parents are there, and people can see them, but they just can't be teased.

Cheng Yu was fascinated by the script.

It took more than 20 minutes for him to put down the script and ask, "You wrote it yourself?"

Peng Xiangming opened his eyes, "Otherwise, what do you think?"

Cheng Yu smiled, turned around and picked up the kettle, only to find that the boiling water had become not hot enough, so he turned it on again, boiled it again, and said, "Is this story before or after "Dream Chaser"?"

"It's been there before. "Dream Chaser" is just a synopsis. ”

"Hmm. Cheng Yu nodded, a little excited, "Awesome! This book is written, awesome!"

immediately sighed, "In recent years, in fact, police and bandit dramas are not very easy to film, there are too many old routines, and everyone is tired of watching them, but in recent years, there have been all kinds of crime-solving films, which are actually suspense films, and most of them are taking the road of light comedy and suspense, more and more." ”

He puffed his cigar, "There are only TV dramas, and police and gangster movies are often available, but they are all very cliché, and I took on a drama like this last year, oops, it's not good." ”

Then he shook the script in his hand, "This thing of yours is very novel, take this out, everyone should buy it." Everyone loves to watch police and gangster movies, not to mention that your short film has been paved so well, this film will make money in a hurry!

He asked again, "Who are you going to ask me to play?"

Peng Xiangming finally sat up and said, "Liu Jianming." ”

That is, the role played by the handsome guy Liu in the original version - Peng Xiangming doesn't know much about Cheng Yu's acting skills, but he has been acting in the circle for more than 20 years, and he has always been very popular, his popularity is not low, he has encountered all kinds of scandals, his flower heart and prodigal son image were once disgusted by many people, and even boycotted, but he has never fallen, obviously it is impossible to completely rely on this face to fool around.

In Peng Xiangming's opinion, even if he can't reach the quality of the so-called old drama bones, with a little adjustment, he should still have a certain degree of certainty in dealing with this role - more importantly, he has to shoot the sycophants, he has to pat the sycophants!

What if one day he found out that he had slept with his precious girl......

Well, the above is pure joke.

A very important reason why he was invited to play one of the two protagonists is that with him, he has enough qualifications to basically control the scene, as long as he respects himself more, then in the future, he will have enough confidence as a director to control the entire crew.

And he's not too expensive.

After all, he usually mainly acts in TV series, and when he stars in movies, he doesn't have to pay a price!

"Oh......" Cheng Yu seemed to be thinking about this role when he heard this, then nodded slowly, thought for a while, and said, "Cheng! I took it! When is your director?"

Peng Xiangming replied: "I'm directing, the schedule hasn't been decided yet, probably between March and June." ”

The water boiled, Cheng Yu was finally willing to put down the script, picked up the pot to make tea, and said while pouring water: "Nacheng, you can arrange for someone to contact my agent." ”

"Good!"

As expected, the matter was easily finalized, Peng Xiangming continued to relax and enjoy this extraordinarily rare weather, and Cheng Yuchong came out with a said to be the best red robe.

Cheng Yu simply couldn't refuse.

Film resources, for him, are scarce.

He's a TV café.

What's more, the role that Peng Xiangming invited him to play is also one of the two male leads.

Although he seems to be on the villain's side, and finally shot another male protagonist, his character is full and three-dimensional, even sympathetic, and he is by no means a villain in the popular sense.

So, at least at the script stage, this is definitely a role that can add luster to his acting career.

There are pluses.

The short film "Dream Chaser" became a hit on the whole network, not only driving the unprecedented super sales of the song, but also creating a total of more than 2 billion on-demand views so far, which is already a super big IP in itself.

In addition, the director is Peng Xiangming, who is currently the hottest in China, the publicity point of this movie can be described as full, and its release in the future will definitely be a box office hit.

If the shooting is good, just with this story, the reputation will not be bad.

In fact, what is rare is that Peng Xiangming's script is not just a simple expansion of the story of the IP of "Dream Chaser", but a great leap in the story and characters.

A good reputation is almost to be expected.

Another bonus.

What's more...... in the short film "Dream Chaser", the actor Chen Yongren has been played by Peng Xiangming, since he is not ready to play it again, no matter who plays this role, he will definitely face contrasts, and preconceived ideas are quite terrifying, and it will be particularly difficult to surpass the almost perfect original in everyone's minds.

But the Liu Jianming he plays will not have this problem at all.

Another bonus.

............

At lunchtime, Zhou Shunqing actually drank alcohol.

This caused Peng Xiangming to turn his head to look at her.

The girl was good, staring at the table in front of her without squinting, as if she didn't see Peng Xiangming.

So...... She is actually quite good at acting, that is, she was at the airport before, and she hugged Peng Xiangming on the spot, and other times, she is always very good at getting rid of it in front of her mother or father.

She seems to have a decent amount of alcohol.

After drinking most of the red wine, I actually picked up the decanter and poured another glass.

Damn! Peng Xiangming was a little worried.

Among the women and girls around him, several of them drank more than himself.

Sun Xiaoyan has a good amount of wine, Liu Mi and Qi Yuan have a good amount of wine, but don't Zhou Shunqing also has a good amount of wine...... Unless the girl is willing to pretend to be drunk, she will not have the face to play a drunk game in the future.

Oh, of course, at present, the amount of alcohol they have together may not be comparable to Dai Xiaofei.

That's a master of liquor.

There is always something to talk about at the wine table, so Cheng Yushun talked about Peng Xiangming's invitation to star in his movie, Zhou Yuhua was really concerned, and immediately asked Peng Xiangming, "Xiang Ming, is there a role suitable for our Shunqing?"

Without waiting for Peng Xiangming to answer, Cheng Yu had already answered: "I asked, but what Xiang Ming said makes sense, the only female character suitable for Shunqing's age is probably the policewoman." But Shun Qing's height is too high, once she is put on it, it will be difficult to choose other police roles. Alas...... Baby, it's almost, don't be long, you're 1.75 meters long......"

Finally, at the right opportunity, Zhou Shunqing was staring at Peng Xiangming for a while, and when she heard the words, she quickly withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and pouted - when she pouted, she was still very cute, not so clear, a little girl.

Zhou Yuhua was very dissatisfied with this, and knocked Cheng Yu, "What is this called! The girl is tall and not a shortcoming!"

"I just said it casually......" Cheng Yu confessed.

Zhou Yuhua didn't chase after him, and after sighing, he raised his glass, "Xiang Ming, I haven't officially thanked you all the time, Auntie toasts you, it turns out that you are still good at writing songs!"

Peng Xiangming hurriedly raised his cup, laughed, and touched her, Cheng Yu, and finally Zhou Shunqing, before saying, "You are too polite!

Zhou Yuhua was obviously very satisfied with this answer, took a sip of wine, looked at Peng Xiangming, and said: "The sales of the entire album, now it seems, are largely driven by your song "Listening to the Sea", alas, the separate sales of other songs now seem to be a little worse, I mean, compared to "Listening to the Sea", it is much worse. So, Xiang Ming, why don't you go back and help Shunqing write a few more songs?"

That's it...... I didn't dare to say yes.

Peng Xiangming smiled and said: "If there is a suitable work, I will definitely give it to Shunqing, but I just finished writing an album for Jiang Xianxian under my studio, and I am about to start making my first movie, and when the movie is finished, I will definitely make my own album, I'm afraid that I promise you now, and I won't be able to hand over things when the time comes!"

When Zhou Yuhua heard this, he immediately understood.

It's really hard to find a really stupid person in this circle.

What's more, when it comes to each other's core interests, as long as you have a little scheming or experience, it is not difficult to understand the meaning of Peng Xiangming's words - writing songs for his own artists, no matter how busy he is, he has to write them, because his studio accounts for at least 25% of the rights and interests of the works he makes!

Coupled with his author's income, it can be said that although the song is sung by the singer, he can get about 40%, which is higher than the singer's 15%.

The singer is a part-time job for him!

But if it is written to other singers, even if the friendship is good, it can only flow out after he has more creative energy, writes more works, and is selected by him and his singers for a round.

What else should I do?

If I give it to you, I can only earn more than 10 percent!

Peng Xiangming's songs, when they sell well, are often tens of millions of sales, like the song "Listening to the Sea", which will sell more than 10 million copies in the future, which is not a problem at all, buy and add on-demand, that is, at least 40 or 50 million sales.

One percentage point is four or five hundred thousand, not to mention a difference of more than 20?

The previous people have already given a song of the level of "Listening to the Sea", it can be said that if you owe favors, it is also Zhou Shunqing and Zhou Yuhua who owe Peng Xiangming, even if people consider it from the perspective of pure interests, they will not give songs easily, it is really not weird.

A song, left to your own people, and given to you Zhou Shunqing, for Peng Xiangming, is likely to be more than 10 million yuan of income - what is the difference between giving you a song and transferring money directly to you?

Don't be convinced, there are authors in the industry who write songs and sell them, you take them!

For Mao's "Listening to the Sea" sales of tens of millions of copies can't be stopped, in the long run, there is even hope for more than 15 million copies in the future, and in the same album, the other songs have the highest comprehensive sales, and now it has just exceeded 5 million?

In the circle of the music world, good works are the hardest resources.

Bowing his head and muttering for a moment, Zhou Yuhua suddenly said: "Actually, since the album was released, seeing that "Listening to the Sea" can be played so well, I have been thinking about this matter, and I am not afraid of your jokes, I also think now that I may indeed be old, outdated, and unable to keep up with the aesthetics of young people now." ”

Peng Xiangming laughed when he heard this, "Don't say that, where are you now! You are coming back now, and you will continue to be popular!"

Zhou Yuhua laughed when he heard this.

Although this sycophant is simple and rude, she is obviously very useful.

But then, she said: "Don't hold your aunt, I know in my own heart that I can't keep up with the trend, I just can't keep up with the trend, it's not that my skills can't keep up, it's purely that my thinking is rigid, and my aesthetic habits for a lifetime have ...... It's solidified, and it's hard to change. ”

She sighed and said, "So I'm thinking, maybe I can only send Shunqing here." ”

Peng Xiangming was stunned for a moment and looked at her in surprise.

She said: "I think Shunqing's future albums, I can't let go anymore, it turns out that I have been eliminated!

"So look, how about I transfer Shunqing's singer appointment to you?"

it!

Is that so?

Peng Xiangming really didn't expect Zhou Yuhua to take the initiative to do this - in his impression, Zhou Yuhua has always been shrewd and stubborn.

He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Zhou Shunqing.

Although her expression was calm, her eyes were obviously full of excitement - obviously, Zhou Yuhua's idea should also be the first time she said it, and it was the first time she heard it.

And she apparently couldn't agree more.

That's it...... Will you give me this little white rabbit with your own hands?

Peng Xiangming picked up the cup and suppressed the excitement in his heart by drinking-he had already wanted to start, but Zhou Yuhua stared too strictly, and he couldn't find a suitable opportunity at all.

"In that case...... Of course I'm happy! I've always liked Shunqing...... of the throat. Uh......" After hesitating for a moment, Peng Xiangming still decided to talk about business, "but my studio has to sign a brokerage contract together, so ...... I'm afraid you're ......"

Zhou Yuhua is not a layman, of course she understands what Peng Xiangming means.

Writing songs hard has made the singer popular, what, you tell me, she makes a lot of money, commercial performances, I can't get a penny? Are you kidding?

"No problem! I'll solve the problem of her brokerage contract! Xiao Luan has been with me for more than ten years, and I will definitely be able to talk about him there!"
