Chapter Seventy-Five: Not Selling Copyrights
What Xu Jiahui is doing at home, Zhang Pu doesn't know.
All he knew was that their family was rich.
How rich it is, it is unknown, but it is very rich anyway.
Taking over the film and television company, for Xu Jiadong, may really be just for fun.
However, for Zhang Pu, it has also brought great convenience.
Xu Jiadong naturally will not personally manage this film and television company. His people quickly accepted, and Zhang Pu quickly rented his company's equipment and began post-production of Crazy Stone.
Cutting, soundtrack, dubbing, dubbing synthesis, etc., these are not difficult for Zhang Pu.
With the original version as a reference, whether it is cutting or soundtrack, Zhang Pu knows it in his heart, so the production speed is not slow.
Of course, no matter how fast it is, it can't go there, and it can't be done at one touch.
Zhang Pu has been busy with the post-production of the film until another thing cannot be shirked.
"Ghost Blows the Lamp" has been completed, and Zhang Pu has not opened a new book.
He didn't have time to open a new book.
The physical release of the novel has also been released, and it has now topped the single-day sales chart for more than a week.
This novel can be said to be a complete hit.
The novel is a big hit, and naturally some people are interested in the film and television adaptation rights of this novel.
The other party was interested, but Zhang Pu was not.
It's just that he repeatedly refused, but the other party was entangled, as if he would never give up if he didn't get the copyright.
I couldn't say it clearly on the phone, so I could only meet and talk.
Of course, he also wanted to see which director was so optimistic about the film and television adaptation of the novel.
Yanjing, a certain café, Zhang Pu met him.
A strong man in his forties with a goatee.
It turned out to be him!
Wu Zhijun, a well-known director in the circle, has directed two magic films with a good box office.
This person is one of the few directors in China who is good at special effects.
"Director Wu, hello!"
Zhang Pu sat down in front of Wu Zhijun and said hello with a smile.
"You are?"
Wu Zhijun looked at Zhang Pu, feeling a little familiar, but he couldn't name it.
Zhang Pu is very well-known on the Internet, but his national popularity is not high, and he is not well-known in the circle.
Perhaps, many people have heard his name, but not many can recognize him.
A director like Wu Zhijun is a wrist, and the actors in the circle are probably only a few who can be named. What's more, Zhang Pu's fame is now limited to the music scene. In the film and television industry, he is a complete newcomer.
"The king of the world!, the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". Zhang Pu said with a smile.
The old king of the world is his pen name, originally he wanted to use the pen name of the original author, but he regretted it halfway, so he only used the word "world", as for the last two words, he originally took "Changwang", that is, he took one word in each of his names.
It's just that "Changwang" is too ugly, and the ghost made the god change it to "Lao Wang"!
On the Internet, his name was ridiculed by many people, saying that the "old king of the world" is much more than the "old king next door".
One is a neighbor, the other is a world.
"Oh, hello Mr. Wang!" Wu Zhijun said, "I didn't expect you to be so young. I saw you familiar just now, and I thought you were an actor!"
The story of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" really doesn't seem like Zhang Pu can write it at his age.
Of course, it's not like it's not impossible!
Wu Zhijun naturally does not doubt whether Zhang Pu is really the author of the novel.
Zhang Pu was stunned when he heard it.
"My surname is Zhang!" Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "The pen name is just taken casually. ”
"Oh! I'm sorry. Wu Zhijun said with some embarrassment.
Zhang Pu shook his head, but he didn't mind.
"Director Wu, you should already know that I really have no intention of selling the film and television rights of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". ”
Zhang Pu said straight to the point.
He's always been like that, and he doesn't like to bend around.
"Why?" Wu Zhijun said suspiciously, "The price is negotiable." ”
"It's not about money. Zhang Pu shook his head and said.
"Afraid that I'll spoil your work?" Wu Zhijun said, "Don't worry, I, Wu Zhijun, haven't made a bad movie." Moreover, the company has also promised that I will invest no less than 200 million in my next film. Even in terms of directorial style, I'm afraid there are few people in the circle who are more suitable than me, right?"
If the domestic film investment reaches 200 million, it will be a proper big investment.
This is determined by the domestic market.
On the box office list now, there are only a handful of people who break one billion, and there may not be one a year.
There are not many people who break 500 million.
The box office broke 500 million, and it properly entered the top 20 of the box office list.
With an investment of 200 million, the box office does not break 500 million, then it will be a loss.
"I never doubted Director Wu's ability. Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "Director Wu signed a contract with Orange Entertainment, right?"
If "Ghost Blows the Lantern" is on the big screen for a long time, Wu Zhijun is indeed a good choice.
What a pity!
"Yes, Mr. Zhang should know the strength of Orange Entertainment. Wu Zhijun said, "The company's team ......"
"Director Wu, I'll just say it directly!" Zhang Pu interrupted Wu Zhijun's words and said, "I really don't plan to sell the copyright of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", even if I want to sell it one day, I will definitely not sell it to Orange Entertainment." ”
When Wu Zhijun heard this, he was stunned.
Wouldn't the bigger the company adapt its own work, the more secure it is?
What's the crux of the matter?
I'm afraid it's really not about the price and production concerns.
"What's wrong with Orange Entertainment?" Wu Zhijun frowned and said.
If so, it's a bit of a problem.
"No!" Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "I have something with Huang Ze! My name is Zhang Pu, and Director Wu will understand it when he looks it up on the Internet." ”
Who is Huang Ze?
Wu Zhijun naturally knows that the company even intends to let him star in his new film, although he didn't say that he was the protagonist, but as the boss's son, can he do it with less scenes?
Wu Zhijun opened his mouth and didn't say anything more.
He needed to understand their grievances, and if it was too big, it would be impossible. What's more, he can also see that the young man in front of him has no idea of selling copyrights now.
Is the grudge between Zhang Pu and Huang Ze big?
This benevolent man has seen the benevolence.
In Wu Zhijun's opinion, it is really nothing.
However, it is almost impossible to resolve the grievances between the two of them.
From what he learned, it is not difficult for Wu Zhijun to see that the two of them have arrogant personalities, and there is no possibility of turning hostility into friendship.
It is impossible for Huang Ze to bow his head, and Zhang Pu will not bow his head.
If the two of them want to turn their rivalry into a jade silk, then one of them must bow his head.
Wu Zhijun sighed and reluctantly gave up.
He liked the novel very much, and he wanted to put it on the big screen, but now it seems that there is no possibility.
Wu Zhijun also understands why Zhang Pu has no idea of buying copyrights.
He turned out to be a graduate of the directing department of Yenching Film Academy.
Are you going to keep it for yourself?
Wu Zhijun didn't expect that in addition to Zhang Pu's musical talent, the novel would be so wonderful.
I don't know how talented you are in movies?
