Chapter 580: Dig One More Pit

One day, two days, three days, Lu Yang did not immediately contact those big gods in the author's circle to talk about borrowing money or investing in "Jinyiwei" as he told Wang Lin.

Most of the day, I still write in a rented house in Shanghai.

wrote "The Master", and also wrote "You from the Stars".

He is waiting, waiting for Li Rengang to sign Donnie Yen, and also waiting for the release of "Ip Man", he believes that as long as these two things become true, when he asks the gods to borrow money or invest in "Jin Yiwei", it will not be much more difficult.

Once "Ip Man" is released, everyone will know that Donnie Yen is going to become popular! At that time, as long as you tell those gods that "Jin Yiwei" is starring Donnie Yen, are you afraid that those people will be reluctant to pay for it?

In the past few days, Lu Yang's only worry is whether Li Rengang can sign Donnie Yen, in case something goes wrong and the director can't sign him, then he will be suspended.

In Shanghai in November, the autumn breeze is gradually rising, every gust of autumn wind blows, will fall countless dead leaves, this evening, Lu Yang is too lazy to cook at home, so he drove the car to find a restaurant outside to solve the problem of the five internal organs temple, when the car passed through a section of the boulevard, just a breeze blew, and the leaves fell on the top of the head, which made people feel the power of time, and it was easy to add a sadness to the heart.

Sadness and sorrow are nothing more than that.

Just when Lu Yang squinted his eyes, thinking of his emotional problems, and was quite sad, when he got into the car, the mobile phone he threw on the passenger seat rang, and he turned his head, and Lu Yang saw the three words Li Rengang displayed on the mobile phone screen at a glance.

Is there good news? or bad news?

Thinking in his heart, Lu Yang parked the car in a parking space on the side of the road. After the car was stopped, I picked up my mobile phone and connected to the call.

The voice of Li Rengang announcing the good news came from the phone. Very hearty: "Hello Mr. Lu, I tell you good news, Donnie Yen has agreed to sign the contract." It's just that the salary is a bit inflated! His agent said that after Donnie Yen's "Ip Man" is released soon, his worth will definitely rise, less than 4 million, and they will not sign a contract!"

"4 million?"

Li Rengang felt that the salary was inflated, but Lu Yang wanted to laugh, because Lu Yang liked the movie "Ip Man", he also paid attention to a lot of information related to this movie, such as Xiong Dailin became an instant hit, and Wing Chun became famous. Among the many pieces of information, one of them is that after "Ip Man", Donnie Yen's salary jumped directly to the highest among Chinese actors, with a salary almost double that of Liang Chaowei, and Liang Chaowei, who has the highest salary for many years, has only 123 million for a movie, but he has a salary of more than 20 million for several films in succession, including 22 million for "Guan Yunchang".

As for the salary of "Jin Yiwei", Lu Yang didn't notice how much it was at the beginning. But it should be no less than 20 million, that is to say, the investment of "Jin Yiwei" is more than 100 million, and the salary of Donnie Yen alone is more than 20 million. It accounts for almost one-fifth of the total investment in the entire film.

And now to sign him, it only costs 4 million, that's all. Li Rengang still feels inflated, why doesn't Lu Yang want to laugh?

Lu Yang remembered. Two years later, around 2010. Donnie Yen's salary will rise to 30 million films, which is sky-high at that time.

Lu Yang: "Director Li, have you signed with him?"

Li Rengang: "Mr. Lu! Not yet! His asking price is a bit high, so I want to discuss it with you, otherwise, ...... Shall we invite someone else?"

Lu Yang knew who the others in Li Rengang probably meant, and he mentioned it last time, but seeing that Donnie Yen's popularity was about to soar, at this time, 4 million could sign him a film contract, wouldn't it be a fool not to sign?

So......

"Sign! Director Li! Sign him! This is the premise of my investment! I also believe that "Ip Man" will make Donnie Yen's popularity rise, I personally think 4 million is worth it!"

Lu Yang's insistence made Li Rengang silent for a moment, and only after a moment did he reluctantly agree: "Okay! I hope Mr. Lu, your judgment is right! Sign it!"

After hanging up the phone, a new thought suddenly popped up in Lu Yang's heart - Donnie Yen's salary is so low now, do you want me to hurry up and get another script out and sign another one with him?

It's just that...... What kind of script to write?

If Lu Yang was reborn in 2014 and watched "One Man's Martial Arts", he would probably immediately think of writing this script, and "One Man's Martial Arts" starring Donnie Yen and Wang Baoxiang is a recognized classic action movie. It's a pity that Lu Yang was reborn a little early.

However, as a writer who writes about killing-oriented works, Lu Yang is still confident that he can write a good script, well, with Donnie Yen's current fame, the script is too bad, he will definitely not accept it.

With this thought in his heart, when Lu Yang was eating at a medium-grade restaurant that night, he had been thinking about the script in his heart.

A script that can impress Donnie Yen, and it must be written before the release of "Ip Man......

What exactly is written?

Inevitably, because of this thought in his mind, in the next few days, Lu Yang's state of writing "The Master" and "You from the Stars" was a little affected.

From time to time, I always think of the idea of this script.

Is it an adaptation of a story from one of your original works, or is it a complete original, or is it a reference to a classic action movie that was released 10 to 13 years ago?

But there are only so many classic action movies in Chinese films, many of which were released 10 years ago, and some people may ask if the ones released in 09 can't be used for reference?

The answer is – of course not!

Just like "Jin Yiwei", although the movie has not yet been released, the script should have been written, and it may even be in the preparation stage, so, for the sake of insurance, it is best to be 10 years later, 13 years before the release of the movie, and even some movies with a long shooting cycle, released in 10 years, can not be used for reference.

As soon as the time is shortened, the range of options is smaller.

Because of thinking about this in his heart, on the monthly ticket list in November, "The Leader" fell to the second place on the monthly ticket list, and Shenji's "Yang God" reached the top, Lu Yang didn't have the heart to compete, the remuneration in October was displayed in the author's background, plus the more than 2 million one-time rewards from banknote cigarettes last month, and the 4 million sold by the game adaptation rights of "The Master", and so on, all kinds of income were added together, and there were as many as 4.97 million after sharing, and he didn't care too much.

How did the 4.97 million come from?

According to the contract signed by Lu Yang and the starting point, the starting point can be 30%, but the upper limit is 500,000, that is to say, the copyright fee of 4 million yuan, the starting point can only be divided into 500,000, Lu Yang can get 3.5 million, plus the banknote cigarette lighting and other readers' rewards, not counting the manuscript fee, monthly ticket bonus, attendance award and other bonuses, Lu Yang can get 46.7 million, plus the manuscript fee in October, there is so much.

How else to say that people's hearts are not enough, snakes swallow elephants!

If it was before, Lu Yang would feel very excited to get a fraction of the manuscript fee, but now, the manuscript fee of four or five million has made him not excited.

He needs a bigger stimulus.

After thinking about it for a few days, Li Rengang had already called him to tell him that he had signed a contract with Donnie Yen to star in "Jin Yiwei", and Lu Yang had not yet made up his mind what kind of script to write.

If it was purely original, he was confident that he would be able to write a wonderful script, but there was a problem...... He is used to writing online articles, action movies are flying scenes at every turn, or adding various fantasy elements, which requires a lot of computer special effects, and the cost of production will immediately soar.

But 10 years after the original time and space, he couldn't think of the classic action movies released 13 years ago, as for Donnie Yen's "Ip Man" after "Martial Arts", "Chen Zhen", "Guan Yunchang", "October Siege" and other films, he really didn't feel anything, and he couldn't remember the plot of those movies.

"Rain of Swords"?

A bloody story of a eunuch in order to grow JJ?

Frozen: The Gate of Rebirth?

Before I was reborn, I watched a few trailers for this movie, but it hadn't been released yet!

"Su Qi'er"?

It seems that the release time has not been long ago, right? In my impression, it seems to have been released before "Jin Yiwei", and the box office was defeated by "Jin Yiwei".

……

One by one, the movies that he remembered the plot were all rejected, Lu Yang had a headache when he thought about it, and in his upset, he went to the kitchen to get a can of beer, opened it and drank two sips, sat back in front of the computer, turned on Kugou Music, and was ready to use music and beer to find inspiration and create a script by himself.

Kugou opened it and played Zhang Guorong's version of "A Thousand Thousand Que Songs" first, but after listening to it, he still didn't find inspiration, Lu Yang's setting was played immediately, after "Thousand Thousand Que Songs", Kugou automatically changed a song of Ye Zhentang's "Kindness of the Earth", this music has a feeling, Lu Yang faintly grasped a little inspiration, but before he sorted out his thoughts, after singing "The Kindness of the Earth", Kugou automatically changed another song for him.

As soon as the prelude to this song sounded, a flash of inspiration flashed in Lu Yang's mind, and he finally thought of an action movie that he liked very much before and had a high fan rating, which is definitely a good movie in 10 years!

- Guild Wars!

Starring actor Zhang Jiahui and Peng Yuyan, for this movie, Zhang Jiahui is dozens of years old, and he relies on strong perseverance to train a beautiful muscle.

"The Sound of Silence"!

Lu Yang Kugou music player immediately played, it is his favorite "Sound of Silence" when he coded words for so many years, Lu Yang still remembers that he liked this song at the beginning, knew the name of this English song, or because when he watched "Guild Wars", he heard this song appear in "Guild Wars".

To this day, he still remembers the feeling of peace in his heart when he heard the song.

At this moment, drinking beer, listening to this well-known classic song, and thinking about the plot of "Guild Wars", Lu Yangxin quieted down again, and changed this movie to be starring Donnie Yen, it should be more exciting......, right?
