Chapter 175: Gambling Contract
Today's Zhang Liang is no longer the obscure little person he used to be, and the things that have been created in the past half a year, even if they don't reach the point of becoming a household name, at least they have a lot of popularity in the entertainment industry.
And the real reason for his current fame is naturally one thing for his singing skills and acting skills, but what the industry values more should be his creative ability.
No one can say that the songs he wrote can become classics, but Zhang Liang has done it! This has also caused more and more people to invite Zhang Liang to sing now, and now there is basically a law in the industry that is not famous, if anyone gets Zhang Liang's song, it means that this person is going to be popular!
In addition to writing songs, Zhang Liang, who has become a god, naturally has a lot of influence in the online literature industry, and in the screenwriting industry, a "Journey to the West" instantly rewrote various records of Chinese films, which of course cannot ignore the hard work of actors and directors, as well as all aspects of the later stage, but in the final analysis, this script is too classic!
Even a big director like Zhang Muyi invited Zhang Liang to write a script for him many times, and in the end, Zhang Liang gave Zhang Muyi a script, but just judging from Zhang Muyi's performance, it seems that this script is still quite exciting.
So Zhang Liang has gradually been regarded as a creative genius!
But what about the facts?
This is just a copyist! That's just getting the stuff out of that corrupt system, if he really wants to write it himself?
You can pull it down, I guess you won't even reach the entry level.
So now Ge Datie asked Zhang Liang to write the third part of "Journey to the West", which is conceivable how impossible it is for Zhang Liang.
Of course, there is actually the third part of "Journey to the West" in the system, but that script is simply something that ruined the classic of "Journey to the West", and Zhang Liang is unwilling to take it out.
If he didn't take the ready-made one, he wouldn't be able to write it himself, so he naturally couldn't agree to Ge Datie's request.
"Zhang Liang, why are you so uneconomical? "Journey to the West" is popular, once the third part is released, there will be a bunch of people watching it without advertising, if this is promoted again, the box office will be absolutely bargaining, and maybe it can break the box office record, which is enough honor for a lifetime. ”
"The reason why some things are classics is naturally because they are classic. It is indeed much easier to start again with IP, and the box office will certainly not be too bad, but classics are classics after all, and it is not a simple matter to create a work comparable to "Journey to the West". ”
"Classics are not easy to create, not ordinary people can do it, but you are different, there is no non-classic thing in your hands, even if you make a cartoon, even I have deceived a lot of tears, you can definitely do it. ”
"Director Ge, I really don't lie to you, I really can't write the third part, the classics are not so easy to surpass. If you want to continue this nonsensical comedy route, I can help you write a script of this genre, and the box office should not be too bad. "After all, in that world, Xing Ye still has many classic works, and the degree of classics may not be as good as "Journey to the West", but it is also quite good.
"Kung Fu", "God of Food", "Domestic Lingling Paint", "Ouchi Secret Agent"......
In addition to these classics, Xing Ye also made a lot of movies as his own director, "Mermaid" also created a quite strong box office, although there are many emotional reasons, but even if you move to this world, the box office should not be too bad, and even if you want to rub the popularity of Journey to the West, "Journey to the West" and "Journey to the West" can also be done, right?
But Ge Datie seems to be very obsessed with the third part of "Journey to the West".
"Zhang Liang, are you floating?"
"Huh?"
"I didn't help you less when you had an accident, right? This time in "Journey to the West", I was also very bold to directly let you be the male lead, and now your achievements can't be said to be without my help, right? Zhang Muyi asked you to write a script, you wrote it, and I can't call it if I ask you to write a script now, right?"
"Director Ge, look at what you said. It's not that I don't write it for you, but I really can't write the third part of "Journey to the West", you can change the story or change the theme, I really can't do anything about it. ”
"Come on, if others can't write it, I still believe it, and if you can't write it, I will definitely not believe it! Don't worry, even if you open your mouth about the cost of the script this time, as long as it is not too much, I will definitely satisfy you! You say a price! If it doesn't work, we can also sign a box office sharing contract, so it's always okay, right?"
"Director Ge, this is really a matter of money. ”
"I think you kid just hold grudges, hide and twist, this character background is ready-made, but what's the difficulty of writing a third part, you ...... Aren't you not very harmonious with Canxing, recently their "Journey to the West: Dream Back to Daughter Country" is about to be released, it is said that a Hollywood special effects team is used, and the box office is definitely not bad, if I don't do it well, my box office record will be surpassed, and I don't want to be surpassed like this hard-won achievement. ”
"Don't worry, Director Ge, the classics are not so easy to surpass, I watched the trailer, I don't know what to do, and the box office will definitely not exceed 500 million. ”
"Now that the theme of Journey to the West is so popular, how can it not exceed 500 million, and the special effects of "Journey to the West" are so bad that they have sold 1.8 billion. ”
"The box office doesn't look at special effects, and "Tu San" is not a living example......? Director Ge, if the box office of "Journey to the West: Dream Back to Daughter Country" surpasses you, I'll help you write the script, right?"
"Didn't you just say that you wouldn't speculate on 500 million stocks?"
"Stay on the safe side, hehe. I can really help you write other scripts, this third part is really ......"
"Hmph! You can write it first!"
In the end, Ge Datie left Zhang Liang's studio angrily, which made Zhang Liang really cry and laugh!
As a well-known director for so many years, Zhang Liang is so unconfident in his works, Zhang Liang is also drunk!
How can the classics be so easy to surpass?
What about the Hollywood special effects team? The box office is a thing that is created by many reasons, but not just special effects.
And "Journey to the West: Dream Back to the Daughter Country" was still decided to shoot in such a hurry, how exciting the script can be Zhang Liang can guess even if he is a copyist, such a thing is just to attract attention by rubbing a little heat and adding a little special effects, maybe the box office was good when it was first released, but it will soon be weak.
Zhang Liang, who has 500 million or something, is just a rough estimate, and he is naturally not clear how much box office he can have, but even if directors like Ge Datie and Zhang Muyi have not released works with a box office of more than 700 million before, can such an IP work exceed?
What's more, it is the box office of "Journey to the West" of 1.8 billion.
So for this gambling contract, Zhang Liang is not worried at all, he is thinking about what kind of script he should find for Ge Datie so that this great director can dissipate his anger a little, how to say that he can be regarded as a teacher-like existence, others Zhang Liang may not be able to see him, but he still has a lot of feelings for Ge Datie Zhang Liang.
Before I knew it, Jiang Haoran's concert was finally going to be held.
