Chapter 151: The Queen Mother Arrives (Two in One)

The days passed day by day, and the drama was filmed day by day.

Zhang Hong continues to uphold his usual habits.

When it's time to change the play, change the lines at any time, anyway, the final film can make him cool and it's a good movie!

This is mainly because Zhang Hong believes in his natural talent!

What is talent?

What is talent?

Why does everyone say that I am talented and talented as a director, but I still have to be a director and can only draw a scoop according to the gourd, and the basic shooting tasks are handed over to others?

But why do they still say I'm talented?

Because of good grades!

Because the ratings of the film are high!

As a result, Zhang Hong began to seriously recall his mentality when he filmed those TV series.

What kind of mood did you have in mind to shoot those dramas at that time?

At first, I did have the idea of making money, but then it was actually for one word.

Refreshing.

Yes, you have to be cool yourself first!

And these scenes filmed by Zhang Hong, as long as he is happy, the results will be good.

What does this mean?

This shows that his talent lies in this aesthetic!

This shows that his aesthetic is the same as that of the public!

So as long as he feels cool, most of the audience will also feel cool!

Zhang Hong realized.

In the past, he never knew what his so-called directorial talent and talent were.

Now he understood.

That's it!

This recognition of the coolness of the film is his talent!

With a slight smile, Zhang Hong, who realized himself, continued to devote himself to the filming of the movie.

Today's scene is the scene in "Idol Girl" where Zhang Yuanying woke up after being lost.

Her teammates didn't cooperate, and she was a little lost and lost.

Then in the small park, she came to her senses, and was about to speak to encourage everyone, but she was slapped to the ground by her teammates, and then her teammates repeated what she wanted to say......

This is the point of idol dramas!

The protagonist must not wake up on her own! She must have been woken up by someone else!

After filming this paragraph, Zhang Hong himself laughed first.

Then he smiled even more happily when he saw the gloomy dead fish eyes staring at his distant little cousin.

Yes, if this drama can amuse itself, it will definitely amuse other people as well.

Zhang Hong is so confident!

No way, that's his talent!

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

At the same time, far away in another part of the same Hengdian.

Wang Zhi was receiving a guest.

The guest was sent by the investor of his film.

"Mr. Su, I don't know what alarmed you?"

The handsome middle-aged man in his early forties on the opposite side smiled, "I just came here to see the situation on behalf of the company, and by the way, I want to know if there is anything we need help with." ”

Wang Zhi gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, "This ...... Is there really one, can it be ...... Can you add some money?"

It is the so-called strategic contempt and tactical attention.

In his heart, he didn't think that Zhang Hong's movies could be better than himself.

But the other party is not a nobody after all, and Sun Zheng and Liu Yishou are also opponents he recognizes, so he hopes that the investor can increase investment to make himself more sure of beating Zhang Hong.

But Mr. Su was a little embarrassed, "But we have already provided a budget of 50 million, if we continue to add it...... We need a valid reason. ”

Wang Zhi frowned and thought.

He certainly understood what the purpose of these capital companies was.

It's nothing more than making money.

As long as they can make money, they don't care whether the person they cooperate with is themselves or Zhang Hong.

In fact, I don't know how many capital companies have approached Zhang Hong and want to invest in him to make TV series.

But it's basically closed.

Do they hate or hate Zhang Hong?

No!

Not only did he not, but he even became more eager to invest in Zhang Hong!

Because Zhang Hong's TV series can make money.

As the saying goes, "Zhang Hong's production must be a high-quality product", at least in the TV drama circle, this sentence is recognized by everyone.

Wang Zhi doesn't have such a high popularity and capital, so he needs to come up with a reason that the other party can't refuse.

Taking a deep breath, he sat up straight and said, "I want to sign a gambling agreement with you." ”

"Oh?" Mr. Su was interested, "what do you say?"

"I want you to invest an additional 5,000 to reach 100 million!"

"What about the revenue? You must know that after being divided by the theater chain and other parties, the best income is only about 35 percent of the total box office. ”

"500 million!" Wang Zhi raised four fingers, "If the box office exceeds 500 million, the final income will be close to 200 million!"

He took a deep breath and said his gambling conditions, "If the box office exceeds 500 million, I only need 10 million of them, and the rest is yours! If the box office is less than 500 million, I will personally make up for the money you lose from your investment!"

Mr. Su thought for a moment and rejected Wang Zhi's gambling proposal.

However, he made one point:

"Director Wang, as far as I know, you should be competing with that Director Zhang for the box office results of the Chinese New Year stalls at the end of the year, right? ”

Wang Zhi nodded, "That's true." ”

It wasn't strange for him that this person knew about his relationship with Zhang Hong.

That's the difference between people.

What he knows is that the other party is actually Zhang Hong's "licking dog".

If Zhang Hong wants to make a TV series to attract investment, the other party estimates that the investment will be at least 100 million, and there will be no gambling at all.

It's a pity that Zhang Hong didn't give people a chance.

However, in terms of movies, the other party seems to be on the sidelines.

The Chinese New Year file really has to compete with Zhang Hong.

The main reason is that there are more fierce bigwigs in the film industry, and the level of those people, he can't reach it now.

According to Wang Zhi's understanding, there are bigwigs in the circle who have signed a gambling agreement with the capital company, but the box office will reach 1.8 billion......

But it is enough to beat Zhang Hong.

He has learned that the investment in Zhang Hong's films is only about 30 million to 40 million, which is at least 10 million less than his films.

However, his films have a disadvantage, and that is the actors.

His protagonist is a traffic star whose acting skills are still a little different from the average, and the other party is the person from the company behind Mr. Su, which can be regarded as bringing capital into the group.

Don't think that the traffic of traffic stars is high, everyone in the industry understands that most of them are fake.

If it is true, the box office of 10 million that star can already burn high incense.

More likely, a few million would be remarkable.

But Zhang Hong is different.

Let's not talk about his own super popularity, let's talk about the actors in his crew.

"Idol Legend" is not sure whether it will be released in theaters, so I will not mention it for the time being.

In that martial arts movie, except for a few small roles that are not famous, the others are all powerful actors with a certain strength.

Luo Yun, Bai Xueye, Wang Chen, including Zhang Hong himself.

These people not only have traffic and fame, but also have acting skills!

Compared with the protagonist of Wang Zhi's own crew, make a judgment!

That's why he had to raise his budget by gambling.

Since it doesn't work on the main character's side, you have to make up for it elsewhere!

Mr. Su smiled when he heard Wang Zhi's answer.

He sat up straight and said, "Director Wang, let's sign the gambling agreement." ”

He said his request, "As long as the box office of your movie exceeds Zhang Hong, then every amount of money exceeded, these excess parts will belong to you, and we don't want a penny."

On the other hand, if the box office is not as good as his, then you won't get a penny. If you lose money, you have to make up for what you lost, how about it?"

Wang Zhi's mind turned sharply.

After calculating, he felt ...... You won't suffer any loss yourself.

"Why?"

What does he mean by targeting Zhang Hong?

Capital companies don't distinguish between right and wrong like children.

"To be able to cooperate in the future. Mr. Su explained with a smile, "Director Zhang Hong is arrogant, everyone wants to take advantage of him, but he doesn't give him a chance."

So now it's time to create opportunities. ”

Wang Zhi understood.

The other party just wanted to rub Zhang Hong's sharpness.

Then it's good to cooperate.

If you have money, everyone will earn it together.

Wang Zhi accepted the reason he gave.

Although I am a little unhappy that I have become a whetstone used by the other party to sharpen Zhang Hong, everyone is using each other to use it.

As long as it achieves its goal, it's a win-win.

"Yes!" Wang Zhi said in a low voice, "I accept this condition!"

"Good. Mr. Su shook his hand, "Happy cooperation." You can rest assured, our side will not relax on Zhang Hong's public opinion offensive. ”

Half an hour later, Mr. Su, who was sitting in the car after leaving Hengdian, made a phone call.

"Hey, Mr. Zhang. It's all done, and Wang Zhi accepts our conditions. ”

"Yes, we will soon start the public opinion offensive against Director Zhang, you can rest assured that I will do my job. ”

"Okay!"

In the capital, Zhang Hao hung up the phone, turned back to his wife and said, "It's all done with my wife!

"I'm not at ease. Liu Yan was still packing his things.

Zhang Hao said strangely: "Wife, are you going on a business trip?"

"I'm not on a business trip, I'm going back, the two of us are outside every day, and my son will be suspicious after a long time." Liu Yan didn't raise his head, "I'll go back and take care of my son." ”

Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, "It's worthy of being my wife!

One thing to say, this sentence is indeed not sycophancy.

Well, not exactly sycophancy.

He Lao Zhang has always been planning and calculating his son, but he forgot one thing, that is, his son himself.

Even if it's a phone call, if there are things that you won't say on the phone.

And he can't really target his own son to do three indiscriminate methods.

Basically, Zhang Hong's stinky boy is invincible.

So now you need someone by his side to supervise him all the time, and by the way, he can also get first-hand information.

Wonderful!

Wonderful!

"Wife, then I'll send you?"

"No need. Liu Yan changed into a set of clothes that looked good but were not expensive, and said lightly, "I allow you to go out and play around, as long as you don't add a younger brother or sister to your son." ”

Zhang Hao shuddered and swore to the sky, "That must not be! If I really mess around, then let my son have no girlfriend for the rest of his life!"

Liu Yan: "......"

She gave her husband a kidney blow, and then dragged her suitcase and left.

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

"Click!

In Hengdian, Zhang Hong, who didn't know what he was going to usher in, waved his hand and shouted these two words.

Today, two movies are completed at the same time!

When the time for filming is over, the next step is to enter the post-editing production process, which is not exciting at all, but actually boring.

However, these have nothing to do with Zhang Hong for the time being.

He wants to take everyone back to Los Angeles first, and then give everyone a good vacation.

Liu Yishou and Sun Zheng had already said goodbye first and left with the crew.

Li Xinran originally wanted to leave, but he was directly put on the plane by Zhang Hong's left and right protectors Luo Yun and Wang Chen - after these months of getting along, Wang Chen can be regarded as taking away the prejudice against him at the beginning.

In fact, Li Xinran ...... He's also a very lonely young man.

But as soon as Zhang Hong took everyone back to Los Angeles Company, he got a "good" news.

"Brother Hong!"

Lin Chuan hugged Zhang Hong's shoulders and said excitedly, "The TV series are all sold! It will be broadcast tomorrow night!"

"Oh?" Zhang Hong paused slightly, smiling kindly, "Which website did you sell to?"

Video sites definitely give more than TV stations.

Lin Chuan rejected his dream, "No, it's premiered to the TV station." ”

The smile on Zhang Hong's face faded, "Oh, which TV stations are you selling to?"

There is also a difference between TV stations.

Provincial-level local TV stations on the southeast coast are more likely to offer high prices.

"No, it's for CCTV! CCTV 4 is in prime time at 8 o'clock in the evening!"

Zhang Hong: "......"

He took a deep breath, "How much did that episode sell?

If it's free, I'll kill you!

"Then how can it be free!" Lin Chuan looked disdainful, "Brother Hong, you also underestimate me!"

After a pause, he gave a slap in the face.

Then I thought about it, put away three more fingers, and finally made a "V".

Zhang Hong's face turned black in an instant, "Two million in one episode?"

Forty million.

Although the cost is only four million, this is a tenfold increase.

But if the movie hits the street, wouldn't it be useless for the next part to increase investment?

And after experiencing the "Hengdian Villa Incident", Zhang Hong has a deeper understanding of his goals.

Forty million, many, many.

In his previous life, he was still an office worker, and nine out of ten may not make so much money in his life.

But for others, it is less than the price of a villa.

And it's just its own little coffer.

Tut.

When Zhang Hongzheng was yin's face, Lin Chuan denied him, "It's not two million, Brother Hong, it's two hundred thousand episodes." ”

Zhang Hong plucked out his ears, "Ah Chuan, did I hear it wrong or did you say it wrong?"

One episode of 200,000, twenty episodes of TV series.

Is this only four million?

Just topped Lao Tzu's investment!

Zhang Hong couldn't help but squirt out swear words.

"It's true. ”

Seeing that Zhang Hong's face turned black in a visible state, and he was about to blacken into Blackman, Lin Chuan hurriedly remedied, "But ABF promised 20 million to buy the online screening rights two months after the TV station ended!"

ABF is another video website in China, which is basically the same size as Jixing Video.

Zhang Hong's face was slightly better at this time.

Lin Chuan hurriedly patted his ass, "Brother Hong, are you going to watch the drama together in the company tomorrow? I'm really not cheating you, the main thing is that CCTV can better guarantee the ratings! If we don't embarrass you, won't there be more people who come to us to talk about cooperating in the TV series in the future?"

Zhang Hong thought about it carefully, and this is also the truth.

Now, to put it bluntly, the company relies on him alone.

If the ratings of other people's TV series are not low, then maybe Zhang Hong will be able to make a lot of money lying down in the future!

Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and their own goal is ...... Maybe it's really possible!

"Okay, that's it. That's right......"

When he was about to give some more instructions, Zhang Hong's phone suddenly rang.

Glancing at the caller, he was slightly stunned, and then connected:

"Mom?"

Lin Muqing, who was watching with his arms on the side, suddenly stood up straight.

Liu Yan's voice came from there, "Son, I'll go to Los Angeles right away and pick me up at the high-speed rail station." ”

"Good. ”

Zhang Hong hung up the phone and looked at Lin Chuan, "Ah Chuan, do you have any good cars? You don't need to be too high-profile, just the BBA level, borrow me and use it first." ”

He didn't want to let his parents know about his troubles.

In order not to worry his parents, he had to pretend to be a little pompous, but not too much.

But it's okay if he doesn't say this, as soon as he mentions this, Lin Chuan's eyes are red:

"Brother Hong, are you kidding me?!Where did my car go, don't say you don't know!"

He now rides a little sheep every day to and from work!

Zhang Hong reacted at this time, and his car had all been donated to the TV series "Rich Criminal Police".

Lin Muqing sighed slightly, "I have an X6 here, I'll pick up my aunt with you." ”

Zhang Hong turned his head.

Lin Muqing's heels lightly touched the ground, his fingers playing with his hair without looking at him, "Don't think about it." ”

Zhang Hong opened his mouth.

He didn't think much of it......
