Chapter 750: "Journey to the West: Havoc in the Heavenly Palace"
Hearing Wang Changlei's words, Liu Zixia knew that his plan had failed, and this issue about Hollywood's technical barriers could only be mentioned later.
What he is more curious about now is what is the news worth 1% of the box office share in Wang Changlei's mouth?
"What kind of news is so valuable?" asked Lang Wenxing directly.
"It's news about Orange Light Media!"
Wang Changlei looked at the two of them and said, "I won't hide it from you, Zhang Changgong called me just now to want to cooperate with our Zhongyi and set up an entertainment creation studio together!"
"Entertainment creation studio?" Lang Wenxing glanced at Liu Zixia and said, "What do you mean?"
That is, specializing in the development of entertainment programs, such as variety shows, film and television dramas of various themes, songs, animations...... and so on. ”
After listing a lot of entertainment-related things, Wang Changlei finally said: "In short, it is a design company for entertainment programs!"
"Isn't that still an entertainment company?"
Lang Wenxing blinked and said, "It's the two of you, cooperating to set up an entertainment company, and what kind of creation studio, this Zhang Longbow is really boring!"
As far as Lang Wenxing understands, this so-called creative studio is no different from an entertainment company.
"This creative studio is only responsible for the design of various entertainment programs, not for the shooting and detailed planning of the main body, and the real executor has to be the entertainment company itself!"
Wang Changlei explained again, and he didn't worry that Lang Wenxing didn't understand it, so he simply stopped explaining.
Liu Zixia understands what Wang Changlei said about the 'entertainment creation studio', because there are many such companies abroad.
For a very simple example, you must have an overall design for the decoration of your rough house, right?
This studio is equivalent to a decoration design company, only responsible for design, but the specific decoration must be handed over to the construction team to implement.
To put it bluntly, it's a design specialist!
"Mr. Wang, do you agree?" asked Liu Zixia.
"Not yet!"
Wang Changlei shook his head and said: "But I do have this intention, you also know, although our headquarters of Zhongyi is still in Jinghua, but the focus of development in recent years has been in Europe and the United States, I want to re-establish the reputation of Zhongyi in China, Zhang Changgong's suggestion, I am very moved." ”
"Then you can do it yourself!" Lang Wenxing said: "Your Zhongyi has sufficient strength and has this ability, why do you want to do it with Orange Light Media?"
Zhang Changgong said that he would share their company's resources with me. Wang Changlei blurted out.
"Impossible!" Liu Zixia said: "With Zhang Changgong's urine nature, he can't do this, in my opinion, I'm afraid you will have to make a wedding dress for him at that time." ”
"Shouldn't it?" Wang Changlei shook his head in disbelief.
"Before you went to the United States, what did he do to you?"
Lang Wenxing reminded: "And now Orange Media has become a street rat that everyone shouts at in the domestic entertainment industry, and they are also eager to find a company to cooperate with to get out of this predicament." ”
Seeing that Wang Changlei seemed to be in deep thought, Liu Zixia said: "Okay, Brother Xing, that's all for you, let Mr. Wang think about the rest." ”
Speaking of this, Liu Zixia hesitated for a moment and continued: "Mr. Wang, this news is not worth 1% of the box office share, I have one condition, as long as you agree to this condition, I will agree to 5% of the box office share!"
Liu Zixia has no time to grind with him here, and the matter of Hollywood special effects technology has to be changed!
Seeing Liu Zixia's impatience, Wang Changlei didn't continue to dwell on this topic, and said, "I don't know what the conditions are?"
"While you were working on this film, the staff from our studio were going to be involved in the shooting. Liu Zixia finally revealed the ultimate goal.
Or Lang Wenxing understands Liu Zixia, as soon as he put this sentence away, Comrade Lang's eyes lit up.
Let's just say that this guy is not such a good person, and his feelings are waiting for Wang Changlei here!
"Together?"
Wang Changlei didn't understand Liu Zixia's thoughts, because for him, computer special effects technology, although they are unique in China, is not uncommon in the United States.
What's more, if the film and television companies in Huaxia want to shoot computer special effects, they can go to Hollywood to find a professional special effects team to operate?
It's cheap, the cost is small, and the technology is mature, so why bother to learn?
"Yes, together!" Liu Zixia nodded and said: "I am very relieved about the script I created, but for the filming of the movie, I still have to continue to follow up, after all, the screenwriter is me!"
Liu Zixia will never tell his true purpose.
"Okay, I can agree to this condition!" Wang Changlei thought for a while, nodded and agreed.
"That's okay!" Liu Zixia said: "I don't know Mr. Wang, do you have any specific requirements for the story of "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace"?"
"Mr. Liu, if I asked you to subvert the entire storyline, would you do it?"
Wang Changlei looked directly at Liu Zixia with his eyes and said: "I know that the storyline of "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and women and children know it! But this plot, I hope to dig out new ideas from the original story, add novel plots, or subvert the entire story, or start from scratch to make an original. ”
When he said this, Wang Changlei picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip of water, and continued:
"I think that the same havoc in the heavenly palace can be performed countless times, and thousands of different stories can be created, and for me, what I am most looking forward to is to see the picture of the battle between gods and demons that I have imagined hundreds of times in my heart. ”
"Good!"
Liu Zixia touched his chin and responded in one bite.
Because he already has a draft, that is, he has moved the entire "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" that he watched in his previous life, and this movie fully meets Wang Changlei's requirements.
It is based on the first eight chapters of the Chinese classical god and demon novel "Journey to the West", which tells the story of Sun Wukong, who is determined to cultivate into an immortal, and at the instigation of the Bull Demon King, he made trouble in the heavenly court and forced the Three Realms to start a war of gods and demons.
The movie almost disrupted the narrative timeline of the original book and created the entire story:
From Wukong's previous life, to his birth to his studies, to the hegemony of Huaguo Mountain, to the Dragon Palace to take treasure, and finally to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace, everything is available.
The vicarious succession of each plot has a basis and is more reasonable, but it has nothing to do with the original work.
"Mr. Liu, you ...... Did you hear my request clearly?" Seeing that Liu Zixia agreed so well, Wang Changlei was a little dumbfounded, for fear that Liu Zixia was perfunctory.
"Hear clearly, isn't it just to give the story a new structure?" Liu Zixia waved his hand very easily and said: "This is very easy, but I don't know how long Mr. Wang wants to see this script?"
"Half a year?" Wang Changlei said tentatively.
Liu Zixia thought for a while and said: "Half a year is too long, a month is good! I can give you a script in a month, and then you can find a professional person to take a look, if it doesn't work, let's change it again." ”
"A month?" Wang Changlei raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure?"
"Of course it's sure!" Lang Wenxing interjected with a smile: "Mr. Wang, do you know how long it took Zixia to write the script of "Batman" for Mr. Chen?"
"How long?" Wang Changlei guessed, "One year, two years?"
"Three months!" Lang Wenxing said proudly, as if the script was written by him.
"Shhh...... Three months, Mr. Liu, you are really a genius!" Hearing Lang Wenxing's words, Wang Changlei gasped.
Others haven't watched "Batman", can he still haven't watched it?
That's exactly a pioneer-style movie, in Chen Huasheng's words, a superhero movie!
With such a novel form, huge story background, and wonderful plot, it only took three months to complete the creation of the script, which is incredible!
"Okay, Brother Xing, don't sell what little bit of my ability is!"
Liu Zixia patted Lang Wenxing's shoulder with a smile and said, "Please go and draw up a contract, we will sign it now!"
Lang Wenxing nodded and said, "Okay, you two talk first, and I'll go back when I go." ”
......
Liu Zixia has been chatting with Wang Changlei since he arrived at the Wenxing Entertainment Building in the morning.
talked about the Chinese entertainment circle to the European and American entertainment circles, and then talked about the two cooperation matters, and then talked about Tiannan and Haibei.
But from Wang Changlei's side, he is still inquiring about information about Orange Media many times.
It seems that he really cares about the authenticity of what Lang Wenxing and the two of them told him just now, about Orange Light Media, which is disgusted by the Chinese entertainment industry.
In the evening, when it was almost 5 o'clock, Wang Changlei said goodbye and left.
Lang Wenxing symbolically retained him, but he didn't succeed in retaining him, so he let him go.
In the evening, the two families gathered at Liu Zixia's No. 9 villa, intending to have dinner together.
Liu Shuren and Li Yunting were drinking tea and playing chess in the living room, Cheng Siqi and Li Mengyi were teasing Yangyang on the sofa, Wenwen led Yueyue and Hanhan to play in the living room, Wang Wenjing, Yun Meina and He Jingjing were busy in the kitchen, preparing dinner.
As for Liu Zixia and Liu Shuren, the two of them sat on the balcony at the door, chatting.
"Zixia, I really made a lot of money this time!" Lang Wenxing said with a smile: "This Wang Changlei is really stupid and has a lot of money, not only to send money, but also to send technology." ”
"Brother Xing, it's not as simple as you think. ”
Liu Zixia said: "Didn't you listen to Mr. Wang? Even if their company was lucky, they dug up a special effects team from Hollywood, and they mastered the most cutting-edge computer special effects. ”
"Then you still offer to cooperate with them to shoot?" Lang Wenxing said in surprise: "Isn't that a waste of time?"
