Chapter 461: Ms. Ye was stunned!
When Zhang Chu's three books were killing each other on the book sales list, he had already come to the Zhengyi Temple Theater after his busy classes, and what was being staged now was "Farewell My Concubine" that he had seen before.
However, the troupe has been changed, although the lyrics and performances look similar, but the singing is still a little different.
The audience applauded loudly as always, and there was an endless stream of tourists taking pictures and videos, and it was their presence that allowed the theater to be maintained and the Peking Opera actors not to lose their jobs.
Ye Shumei has never been here, and she is very incomprehensible to Zhang Chu for putting the place where she meets in this kind of place, "Do you want to hide your eyes and ears here?"
The two actors on the stage were performing diligently, and Ye Shumei listened attentively and found that she couldn't understand it at all, and the soundtrack on the scene was a bit noisy.
After she found the A2 private room along the corridor, she gently reached out and knocked on the door, and after the wooden antique door was pushed open, she saw Zhang Chu sitting on a chair and chatting with a strange middle-aged man.
"Ms. Ye, you're finally here, I thought you'd miss this play!
Zhang Chu made a gesture of invitation, he has watched this Farewell My Concubine no less than ten times, although he can't memorize all the lyrics in it, but he has finally left the stage of Peking Opera rookies.
Ye Shumei reacted at this time, it turned out that the two characters on the stage were Xiang Yu and Yu Ji, but she was not in a hurry to speak, but sat down to watch the performance seriously.
Years of experience at work have cultivated her patience, and it is not herself who should be anxious anyway.
Perhaps to take care of the tourists' time, the play will be finished in about five minutes.
When the actors left the stage, another group of men and women wearing Peking Opera makeup came out to take pictures with the tourists.
There is even an art photo business in the theater, so that those young people who like Peking Opera and cosplay dress up as Peking Opera characters to take pictures, of course, the price is definitely not cheap!
At this time, Zhang Chucai took his eyes back, and he introduced to the two of them and said: "You have all seen it, this is all the personnel of Hanlin Culture Media at present. This is Zhou Kang, who will be in charge of my brokerage business and life in the future, and Ms. Ye Shumei will be mainly responsible for the copyright development of my works. ”
In the past, it was the female protagonist and the male protagonist, but this time the scope of work of Zhou Kang and Ye Shumei has been reversed.
Of course, this is also a very normal thing, although Zhang Chu and Zhou Kang are closer, but this editor-turned-agent is obviously not capable of running a company well.
Ye Shumei was originally a general manager-level figure, and she was also in charge of related copyright business, so it was more reasonable for her to be in charge.
This division of labor was agreed with Zhou Kang before, and he didn't have any objections, anyway, after coming out of Menglong Culture, Zhang Chu gave him a much higher salary, not counting bonuses, not counting year-end bonuses, and being able to get four or five hundred thousand a year is already quite powerful!
During the Chinese New Year in January this year, Zhang Chuke wrapped him a New Year's red envelope, and directly transferred 100,000 yuan to him, without going through Menglong Culture.
Now that the new company has not yet opened, of course they will not be able to make their wages infinitely high, which will only increase the company's operating costs and destroy the wage structure.
If it works well, it will definitely increase in the later stages.
"Uncle Zhou, you can introduce Sister Ye's current situation, so that she can have a more intuitive understanding, and if there is anything in the future, the two of you will hand over more. ”
After that, he turned his head and said to Ye Shumei: "Now Uncle Zhou is still working at Menglong Culture, and he will resign when our company is officially established, which may not be so convenient sometimes." ”
Zhou Kang now has a feeling of a founding father, he took the initiative to say: "Our first business may have appeared, Yida Group is negotiating with Zhang Chu about the full copyright buyout of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and they plan to make "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" into a movie, a TV series, and make all kinds of peripherals. Of course, the biggest surrounding area should be Yida Tourism City, which has opened up an area to restore the ghost blowing lantern situation and make it a theme park. ”
"What? Yida Group is actually doing this project with you?" Ye Shumei was suddenly not calm!
Previously, it had been reported on the Internet that the chairman of Yida Group was arguing with Disneyland, but there was no splash in the follow-up.
But now she actually heard such surprising news in this cultural company that has not yet been officially established, Yida Group's layout actually has "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"?
For a moment, Ye Shumei felt as if she had entered some pyramid scheme, this news was too surprising!
Zhang Chu nodded and admitted: "There is a plan to cooperate, we have been negotiating since March, but Menglong Culture especially wants me to sign a contract with Yida quickly, in order to get commissions on both sides, they have used a lot of means." ”
"Yida Group is not going to make that theme park in one go, but will let Yida Pictures make a movie to test the water first, and if the movie is well reflected, it will come out with the follow-up. Zhou Kang looked at Zhang Chu a little helplessly, "The other party is still a little suspicious of Zhang Chu's writing skills, although he provides the story titles and synopsis of the next few parts, this can be regarded as a weakness." ”
"Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" is indeed very popular, but it is definitely impossible to build a theme park based on this alone, after all, there are too few scenes in it, and it is not enough to repair it for tourists to explore.
Whether it is the nine-story demon tower, the underground base of the Kwantung Army, or the exquisite ancient city, the weight is a bit thin, and the rest of the scenes must be completed together.
And for their large-scale copyright purchase, if the follow-up quality of "Ghost Blows the Lantern" declines or the reader's satisfaction is not high, it will definitely lose money!
Now Yida Pictures requires Zhang Chu to update the following content, on the one hand, to facilitate the design of the theme amusement park, and on the other hand, to seize the heat.
Ye Shumei was secretly happy in her heart, it seems that she is not wrong to jump ship to such a small company, although Hanlin culture has not yet started, but people already have a super big order waiting!
This kind of all-round treatment built around one set has not yet appeared in the Chinese literary world, and even Journey to the West does not get this kind of treatment.
"Then what stage are you talking about now?" Ye Shumei quickly substituted herself into the role, "Maybe Brother Zhou, you can tell me the contact information of the people over there in Yida, and I will communicate with them in private." ”
"That's for sure. Menglong's side has basically come to a standstill, if Yida wants to cooperate, tell them that I can launch "Ghost Blowing Lantern: Dragon Ridge Maze" during the summer vacation, which is our greatest sincerity. ”
Zhang Chu has already arranged the writing order, once he finishes writing "Farewell My Concubine", and then starts the final review, he can write the story of the ghost blowing the lamp when there are no classes in the summer vacation!
