In fact, Zhang Jiajia probably doesn't care much about the reputation of "The Ferryman", all he cares about is the box office!

First of all, as a writer, Zhang Jiajia is a frequent visitor to the top 10 writers' income list in recent years, with a royalty income of 19.5 million in 2014 and a slight drop in royalties of 14 million in 2015, but also ranked ahead of Liu Cixin.

Zhang Jiajia, who has published 6 books in ten years, is relatively prolific, of which "The World" is said to have sold 7 million copies in 3 years, breaking the bestseller record in the past 10 years. "Let Me Stay With You", written for her dog Maisie, sold more than 800,000 copies in half a year.

In addition to publishing books, Zhang Jiajia, who can't stay idle, has also been a lyricist and wrote "People Like You"; as the planner of Jiang Provincial Satellite TV's variety show "Happy Enemies", Zhang Jiajia himself also hugged the beauty in the show, and later served as a guest in "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", it seems that being a ferryman is indeed addictive.

As a screenwriter and director, Zhang Jiajia has also made a lot of money this year. The famous work "Passing by Your World" is composed of more than 30 short stories, and the film and television adaptation rights of multiple stories have long been carved up by various film and television companies such as Motie, Guangguang, Gongfu Pictures, Huace, and Happy Blue Ocean. Zhang Jiajia himself once revealed to the media that "a story will sell 1.5 million, which is not counting 10% of the box office share."

According to this calculation, Zhang Jiajia's share of "Passing by Your World", which received a box office of 800 million, will also reach tens of millions, plus the expected box office income of "The Ferryman", as well as the TV series version of "Passing by Your World", which has been recorded, and the sci-fi drama "The Last Ten Minutes of the Earth", which plans to be developed with full IP, Zhang Jiajia may have earned nearly 100 million this year through film, television and book works.

And Zhang Jiajia, as the boss, is obviously more gold-absorbing.

In 2014, "The World" sold 2 million, Zhang Jiajia announced that he would join Xitian Youxi Company, and with its support, he founded Maidao Studio, with shareholders in addition to Zhang Jiajia and Xitian's boss Zhou Yanxi. Although there is no longer a drama in Xitian at present, the former friendship is still there, which is not difficult to explain why the movie version of "The World" will find Zhang Caoai under Xitian to play the female lead.

In 2015, Zhang Jiajia established an IP incubation and writer brokerage company, Timesea, and completed a round of financing of more than 100 million yuan this year, with investors from two fund companies, including Chenhai Capital and Jinglin Capital.

In an exclusive interview with Star Capital on Time Sea, it was learned that the rhythm of Time Sea is one movie a year, plus two web dramas.

In other words, he has formed an effect similar to Guo Jingming's - IP effect!

This was before the release of The Ferryman!

After the release of "The Ferryman", Zhang Jiajia's works were all marked with question marks, from high-quality IP to easy to dare not ask...

It's like after "Jue Ji", Guo Jingming's several adapted film and television dramas have withdrawn funds in various ways...

Circles are very realistic!

Especially the artists of the Yuehua department, under the leadership of their boss Zhang Junsheng, have stood in line and don't like it, which makes Zhang Jiajia even more questionable...

Of course Zhang Jiajia is anxious!

All his value is based on his own works, once it is not good, his IP is not good...

It's just that his choice is a bit stupid, and he slaps Zhang Junsheng head-on?

Don't look at his strength either!

……

"That's it, 400 million made a bad movie, and it doesn't make people scold?

"It's not good-looking, it's a fact, it has nothing to do with whether you like Zhang Jiajia's book or not, in short, your movie is really rubbish!"

"Some fans are really speechless, saying that a bad movie is called abuse?"

"If hard work is useful, then what else do you have to compare? Zhang Junsheng's first movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", which of you can do it?"

"One of the major characteristics of bad Chinese movies, no matter how bad they are, fans don't admit it, just say that you don't understand movies, you can do it, and now Zhang Junsheng is on it, and he says that he is abusive... Did he say a word of swear from beginning to end?"

"I really don't know where Fuji Xun got the courage to dare to fight in the ring with "All Channel Blocking Interference", is it a level movie?"

Zhang Junsheng's fans immediately patted their horses to keep up...

Of course, there are also some netizens who say that 'you can invest in "Little Times", but you can't stand "The Ferryman", what the hell...'

Ahem, from the perspective of return on investment, the four parts of "Little Times" have an investment of 200 million and a box office dividend of nearly 400 million, earning more than double, and most importantly, through this series, aiming at raising more than 7.5 billion and successfully listing!

You let Fujitsu Films go public through The Ferryman?

……

office, Zhang Junsheng finished posting on Weibo and continued to discuss the issue of "Mulan".

Sisi spoke first: "What are you talking about?"

“… It's nothing, we want to make Mulan before Disney and Sony..."

“… Is that okay? Is it a copyright violation?"

Zhang Junsheng replied: "The 'Mulan' IP does not belong exclusively to Disney, this is Chinese culture, of course we can shoot it!"

“… Okay, you guys go ahead and I'll go down. ”

"Where are you going?"

"Oh, Zhao Liying is waiting for me downstairs!"

“… There you go!"

Liu Sisi left, and several people continued to discuss "Mulan" or other types of films...

Yuehua will only have sixteen movies next year, which is far from the limit!

Thinking of opening up a new series!

"In fact, we can also shoot "Rich White Guy" filmed at the peak..."

Brother Song snorted: "... European tyrants and Chinese prostitutes?"

“… Ahem, no, I mean to emulate Crazy Rich and make a white story in China..."

Zhang Junsheng shook his head: "I don't like to watch it anyway!"

Nonsense, who likes to watch the story of the white guy in the lucky Chinese girl?

It's not a real army!

“… What about blacks?"

"The Hanging Gangster?"

“… Let's honestly think about a few mainstream ones, don't always think about those marginal ones!"

Brother Song: "Two days ago, CJ Entertainment provided a project, "Lobster Detective", which is about a bunch of..."

Zhang Junsheng directly interrupted him: "Sino-South Korean relations will not improve for the time being..."

"Jiang Wen's "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice", should we invest?"

“… Did he look for us?"

"Not yet..."

"Then leave it alone!"

Jiang Wen is a pit...

"One Step Away" directly lost the reputation established by "Let the Bullets Fly", and another "Evil Does Not Prevail Over Justice" came...

For this vinegar, the dumplings were wrapped...

"You look at it, anyway, Yuehua has to release at least twenty or more movies every year..."

Leaving a word, Zhang Junsheng got up and prepared to leave.

“… Cheer us up!"

“… Get out!"

That's right, Zhang Junsheng is going to meet Zhao Liying with Liu Sisi, this girl seems to be preparing to terminate the contract with the brokerage company recently...
