Chapter 161: God of Wealth, don't you have the whole "Wulin Gaiden"?
"Bright Sword" has already been broadcast, so we can't stare at the ratings all day long, it's all the work of the TV station, Wu Xiang's team still has to create, and creation is their life.
So now at hand, what else does Wu Xiang's team need to create?
That's naturally the "Networm Diary" that just started not long ago.
Originally, this drama was almost done, in terms of actors, Wu Xiang directly got all the personnel of the drama "Cuihua, Sauerkraut!", except for the director of the drama, Tian Youliang, who is not the director, and the others are almost a full set of teams.
But the drama is a drama, and there is still a difference between it and a sitcom, at least, Deng Wei can't play a woman again, that plot, as far as Wu Xiang's feeling, is directly placed in the TV series, which will make it difficult for the audience to accept.
Dramas and TV dramas, her audience level is not the same, TV dramas must consider the broadest group of people in this society, that is to say, not everyone in our country can accept spoofs.
Yes, there are a lot of places to change, and she is still a sitcom, so how many episodes are filmed, this one has a saying, sitcoms, naturally, the longer the filming, the better, and the original script is actually not long, it can be changed into a drama, how long can it be.
In this way, everyone has to think of new ideas, new funny jokes, so as to meet the needs of this shooting.
These are all put forward by Guan Hu, he looked at this book, and he felt good, very good, but it was too short, so short, where would it be popular, but all sitcoms, without seventy or eighty episodes, they couldn't be popular at all.
This has to be done on the script, so Wu Xiang naturally can't run. As far as this screenwriter is concerned, you Wu Xiang has a number one.
Sitcoms, gags, Wu Xiang has a lot of natural ideas, he has nothing else, just use his brain, think of some jokes that were later spread on the Internet, such as:
"I was eating pie on the balcony when I heard a boy downstairs confessing to a girl, "Be my girlfriend." I'll love you so much!"
The girl said, "Call me your girlfriend unless pie in the sky!"
After hearing this, I didn't hesitate to throw the remaining half of the leek vermicelli pie in my hand on the girl's head!
Then turn around and leave!
It's just such a little joke, when Wu Xiang told it at that time, these guys were all happy to lean forward and backward, and those with water in their mouths sprayed all over the ground.
Enough laughing fruit. And it just happens to be used in this drama, because "Networm Diary" started from renting a house at the beginning. It's easy to add in.
It's just a little joke like that. Wu Xiang can be said to be endless, and even he can make it up himself, and "Diary of a Net Worm" itself is a spoof work, which can be added with all kinds of undisciplined things.
To put it bluntly, this is watering, but it's a sitcom. You have to be able to fill the water, and the water is interesting, and then you can fire.
Don't look at it as irrigation, this Guan Hu and Yu Baimei, Ning Caishen and others saw so many jokes about Wu Xiang. There are so many ideas, they really admire it, and they say bluntly, no wonder you kid can send it, there is really something in this brain.
After mixing with the crew for a while, there was someone who caught Wu Xiang's attention, and that person was Ning Caishen!
Actually, judging from the current situation, compared with Yu Baimei, Ning Caishen is very bad, and he can't compare. Yu Baimei is actually already a successful screenwriter, like "Sister Idler", this drama was written by him. Ke Ning Caishen is really not rich, and he used to be an editor on an online literature website.
But, having said that, he has a knack for singularities.
However, Wu Xiang won't let this guy be an editor, he hasn't forgotten Ning Caishen's famous work.
"I said talent, let's spoof, you didn't add it up, spoof martial arts novels or something, is this a development?" Wu Xiang is using his old trick again, that is, to inspire others and give others some bad ideas!
"Spoof martial arts?" Ning Caishen's mind has actually been lively, but he is still a little unsure of his direction.
"Look, Gu Long, there is "The History of Martial Arts", can't we have the entire "Martial Arts Biography"?" Wu Xiang is already playing this directly enough, so he almost went into battle to write!
"Wulin Gaiden?" Ning Caishen listened to this name, and he seemed to have some thoughts in his heart, which was a good idea.
Ning Caishen actually has a fire in his heart, seeing that Yu Baimei and Mi Ke are both developed, he just mixes it up like this? Although he has shares at the singularity, it is the least, yes, he didn't write at all, how can he be embarrassed to ask for more?
Wu Xiang saw this guy's expression and knew that he should have completed the task, and the next thing was to let Ning Caishen do it himself, and then it would be good to invest by himself, hehehe......
If you want to say, on that plot, Wu Xiang can write it, but the problem is, it's a plot of more than 80 episodes, and I'm not a god, so I don't need to code those words with my brain, that's also quite tired, why are you tossing yourself so much?
There is a specialization in the art industry, we don't need to do everything by ourselves, it's too much to eat alone, and it's too tiring, and it's boring.
The TV series is busy here, but Wu Xiang has not forgotten his movie.
Not long ago, the Yenching University Student Film Festival opened, and now it is closing. Wu Xiang's "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" has no reason not to be selected, but this award is not as enjoyable as when the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival was held.
The best director was won by Huang Jianxin, who won this award with "Who Says I Don't Care". To say that this film is still very good for the taste of college students, Feng Gong and Lu Liping's expressions in it are not bad, and Mr. Feng is really taking cross talk as a side job now.
Teacher Niu Junyang has become the deputy county magistrate, and it didn't take long for people to help their county promote beef jerky.
is not only the best director, but also the best feature film is not "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty", but the best actor, actress, the most popular actor and actress among college students. also did not give "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty".
This is not a problem with the film "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty", the main reason is that the tastes of the judges have changed, and this film festival is mainly for college students.
Another reason is that there are a lot of opponents, such as "Big Names", Uncle Ge's status in the minds of college students is still very high, and Brother Xiao Ming still can't compare to Di.
In the end, "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" just won the Best Viewing Effect Award, such a small award, but don't say it. This award is really well deserved, the effect of Wu Xiang's film is really good, beating "Big Names"!
After this film festival, Wu Xiang was immediately approached by Miramax again.
Needless to say, I came to negotiate with Wu Xiang about this overseas distribution right. Of course, it was going to be released in North America, but now it is entangled in the price.
Didn't they come to change the film this time?
The Mira company is also smart. They've been cheated too many times. This time they didn't want to be fooled again, so they kept the price very low.
The reason is very simple, that is, before "Big Shot" was released in North America, it only received $820, to be honest. Just this box office, it's not enough to get a copy, which is really a loss.
Wu Xiang was quite speechless, but he didn't expect this Mira company to reduce the price. Originally, he calculated that after these guys were rejected by himself a few times, he would raise the bid slightly, even if it didn't work, let's have some kind of gambling-style box office sharing, right?
But the Mira company is not relenting at all now, these guys are really afraid of losing money.
Actually, it's okay to divide it into anything, Wu Xiang has always been confident in his own film in his heart, one or two points less, it is acceptable, and what Wu Xiang can't accept the most is the problem of film scheduling.
The market in North America is very large, but no matter how good your film is, it depends on how many screens it can be on, generally speaking, large-scale releases, it is more than 3,000 screens, such as "Rush Hour 2", and the medium scale should be more than 1,000 screens, but Mira, fucking only gave Wu Xiang 100 fast screens!
That's it, and it's just such a small number, everyone has said that this is a reasonable estimate based on the achievements of Director Wu Da.
Wu Xiang wanted to say, I bought a hiking bag last year!
But he is still very civilized, of course, even if he scolds him like this, the Mira company doesn't understand.
The United States doesn't give face, so forget it, I don't care anymore!
In fact, the reason why Wu Xiang can hold the posture now is because the European side has already finished negotiating the distribution rights, and the talks were completed in March this year, and the French companies are very active, don't forget, they tasted the sweetness last time. It was M6 and ocean-film that took the initiative to come to the door.
M6 made a lot of money last time, and these guys came up with a sharing contract again, giving Berner a 44% share, in fact, even if Berner is Wu Xiang's spokesperson, everyone doesn't have to be so clear, and M6 promises that it will be released on the largest scale, and they are also very optimistic about this "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty".
This share is still okay, not low, but Wu Xiang still wants to see what Ocean-Film says.
Ocean-film did not disappoint Wu Xiang, and they came up with a plan for a guaranteed share.
It's a guarantee of 6 million euros, even if "The Emperor of Han Wu" doesn't have a penny at the box office in Europe, I will give you Berner 6 million euros, and then share it according to the normal box office, if it exceeds 6 million euros, then I will give you Berner money according to this.
This sharing plan is very good, all of a sudden, Wu Xiang and Yu Dong have no worries, you know, a film makes money at home, not necessarily abroad, even if it is the United States and Europe, which have a culture to figure out, this often happens, not to mention the ancient Eastern countries that have great cultural differences.
Therefore, in line with the principle of fair competition, Comrade Yu Dong revealed this plan to M6 Company with great reluctance.
Well, let's talk about this business, sometimes you really have to abandon the festival for a while......
M6 was out of the way at that time, and threw out a plan, saying that we will give you 48% of the box office share, which can't be higher, because it's already no profit!
There's really no profit, according to this share, even if the M6 is busy to death, in the end it will only be a little hard work.
What else do you mean?
As a result, the distribution rights in Europe were handed over to this M6 company, and the release time of "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" in Europe was also set, and it will be released in France first, on September 10. (To be continued......)
