Chapter 210 Big Project
"Gimmick?" Mr. Ma raised his eyebrows slightly, "I don't do business." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"But who said that gimmicks are for business, for the promotion of museums. Wang Yao smiled and said, "I've seen through it now, money is really important?"
Mr. Ma led Wang Yao to the reception room he had once mentioned, and the floor-to-ceiling windows looked at the crowd of people coming and going in the bed, and his eyes were refracted through the glass in the room.
A set of pear blossom wood coffee table, rose chair antique, and a beautiful waiter wearing a cheongsam next to it, which is indeed a bit elegant.
"Of course, money is important, it's a basic daily necessities, just like breathing. Mr. Ma poured out the tea leaves from the teapot.
"This pot is from the Qing Dynasty. Wang Yao glanced at him and said in surprise.
"This eyesight, you can know it at a glance?" said Mr. Ma with a smile.
"This thing is used to make tea, and it is also a luxury. Wang Yao smiled.
"Why did you come to the capital?" asked Mr. Ma while washing the tea set.
"Let's learn movies from Director Zhang. Wang Yao smiled and took out the storyboard he drew from his bag, "This is the animated movie I am going to draw." ”
"The "Zodiac" one I mentioned last time?" Mr. Ma looked at him, "It was conceived so quickly?"
"The story is still improving, and Director Zhang is going to make a new movie, so I came over to learn and learn. Wang Yao smiled.
"Big projects, everyone in the circle knows, ready for a few years. Mr. Ma smiled, "After "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released, he accelerated his pace, or he had to prepare for at least a year, have you seen him?"
"I've read the script, I'll tell you. Wang Yao briefly said the idea of the script, Mr. Ma's tea was just brewed, and he poured a cup, which was full of fragrance.
"The story is good, it's a bit of a combination of Yu Rang and the ruler between the eyebrows. Mr. Ma said.
"Ruler between the eyebrows?" Wang Yao was stunned.
"Sou Shen Ji," Mr. Ma reminded.
Wang Yao had a flash of inspiration, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I said, why are you so familiar." ”
The ruler between the eyebrows is a story in "Sou Shen Ji", which tells the story of the child of the ancient famous craftsman Mo Xie who avenged his father.
The cadre Mo Ye is a husband and wife, and it is also the most famous blacksmith in ancient times, the sword created is as sharp as clay, and the king of Chu listened to the order of the cadre to build a peerless sword, and the cadre knew that if he created this sword, he would not be able to live, because the king of Chu would not let him go, afraid that he would build a sword for others again.
So the cadre sent his pregnant wife Mo Xie away, and told his wife that he had hidden a sword in the mountain, and that a tyrannical person like the King of Chu could not manage the country well, and that he would have the opportunity to let his son kill the King of Chu in the future to avenge himself and the people of Limin.
The cadre later really created a peerless sword, and as expected, he was killed by the order of the King of Chu.
Mo Ye and the child of the cadre was born, because of the abnormal appearance of the birth, the distance between the two eyebrows was one foot, named the eyebrow ruler, Mo Ye raised his son to adulthood, and told his father's last wish, the eyebrow ruler began to practice martial arts, and took the sword off the mountain.
But one day the king of Chu had a dream, and in the dream there was a young man who came to kill him with a sword, which was the image of the ruler between the eyebrows, and after waking up, the king of Chu ordered the killing of people with a foot between the eyebrows in the whole country.
After the wanted warrant was issued, there was no way to enter the city to take revenge, hiding in the mountains, one day he met a knight, the knight asked him why he was so sad, the eyebrow ruler told the knight about himself, and said that as long as he was willing to help himself avenge, he was willing to give him the sword.
The chivalrous man was moved by the filial piety of the ruler between the eyebrows, and agreed to him, and the ruler between the eyebrows thought of letting the chivalrous man take his head to the king of Chu, so that he would have the opportunity to contact the king of Chu, so he cut off his head.
The chivalrous warrior took the head of the ruler between his eyebrows to find the king of Chu, and the king of Chu saw that the head was indeed the image of the assassin in the dream, and he was overjoyed and wanted to be a chivalrous warrior last time.
The knight said that he should put the head of the ruler between the eyebrows and fry it in an oil pot in order to completely dissipate his soul and no longer disturb the king of Chu, so the king of Chu ordered someone to set up the oil pot and throw the head of the ruler between the eyebrows.
The head of the ruler between the eyebrows burned in the oil pot for a day and a night and did not rot, the knight read the king of Chu and said that he had to take a look at it for himself before the head could be boiled, and the king of Chu approached the oil pot to take a look, and the knight took the opportunity to draw his sword and cut off the head of the king of Chu into the oil pot.
The surrounding guards rushed up to kill the knight, and the knight swung his sword again and cut off his own head and fell into the oil pot.
The heads of the three people in the oil pot were unrecognizable, and they couldn't tell who they were, so they were buried together in the king's tomb, called 'Three Kings' Tomb'.
The filial piety of the ruler between the eyebrows and the chivalrous spirit of the chivalrous warrior were recorded in the "Biography of the Martyrs" and "The Biography of the Filial Son", and the story was recorded in the "Sou Shen Ji".
The two swords that have been handed down are called Ganjiang Mo Evil.
This story exposes the bloody crimes of the ancient feudal tyrants who brutalized the people, and prominently shows the heroic behavior of the ancient working people in our country to resist oppression. The heroic spirit of the mountain traveler who acted bravely and sacrificed himself to avenge Zichi also reflects the strong spirit of revenge of the people against the tyrannical ruler as shown in the story of the unity and friendship of the working people in the struggle against oppression.
Director Zhang's story was also approached by Nameless, with the tokens of the three people of Changkong and Feixue Remnant Sword, although in the end he didn't do it for the sake of the world's righteousness, because he didn't think King Qin was a tyrant.
Wang Yao didn't expect this metaphor at the time, but he just felt that the story was familiar, and when Mr. Ma mentioned it, he suddenly realized, and suddenly he had an extra layer of understanding of the concepts conveyed in this script, and he was a lot more confident.
"Sou Shen Ji" is known as the first book of ancient Chinese Zhiwei notes, which is inherited from the novel books derived from the gods and monsters system of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "The Biography of Mu Tianzi".
The author is the historian Gan Bao of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and in the "Book of Jin", he wrote "Sou Shen Ji" because of the miraculous experience of his father's maid and brother coming back from the dead. It is a collection of ancient and modern gods and supernatural character changes".
On the one hand, "the first to take the test is to carry the book", and on the other hand, "to collect the legacy at that time", it is quite extensive and has been established over decades.
This book is also a later legendary novel based on the remodeling of the prototype, which records a lot of ethical relationships such as kings, husband and wife, father and son in Chinese history through the perspective of ghosts, and has great research value for studying the customs and customs of ancient people's dynasties and people's customs.
And as the originator level of gods and monster novels, there are really too many themes that can be changed in this novel, Wang Yao is ready to sort it out, so that there will be no shortage of materials.
Wang Yao told Mr. Ma about the content of the chat with Zhou Huai today, and Mr. Ma pondered for a moment, "This is the default big action in the film industry, and the cake is estimated to have been divided." ”
Wang Yao smiled: "But they still can't pass the money level after all." ”
"You're also a big deal, fifty million. Mr. Ma smiled and said, "Has it fallen?"
"Isn't this coming for you?" Wang Yao smiled.
"Boy, I'm really Pixiu. Mr. Ma smiled dumbly: "This money is too much." ”
"I know, I just wanted to borrow some from you. Wang Yao smiled.
Mr. Ma turned the rosary for a while, "Ten million, this is the most I can take out now, and the museum funds in Hangzhou have been withdrawn for you." ”
"Thank you. Wang Yao was a little surprised, he originally thought that he could borrow a few million, but he didn't expect Mr. Ma to trust him so much, "I'll give you an IOU." ”
"No need, with Mr. Qigong and Master Zhao here, I'm afraid you won't be able to run away?" Mr. Ma chuckled.
Wang Yao pursed his lips and smiled, "Don't worry." ”
"I'm relieved of you, but I'm not worried about Director Zhang, although this book is good, but the investment is really too big, it is estimated that there will be at least 200 million big scenes, foreign blockbusters, "Titanic" 200 million US dollars investment, "Batman" more than ten years ago are 3000W US dollars investment, our first one, at least 3000W US dollars. Mr. Ma smiled, and said in a somewhat helpless tone, "But the American film market has long matured, the box office of "Batman" has exceeded 500 million US dollars, and the box office in our country in the past ten years has not been as much as that of others, and it is a miracle that this drama can not be lost." ”
Zhou Huai said that it is positioned in the Western market, and the way Zhang Dao chooses is also a Western-style narrative attempt. Wang Yao said.
"The box office over there has nothing to do with us. Mr. Ma shook his head and smiled, "We don't have a theater over there, and we can't share the box office account here, and when the time comes, we won't be able to get involved in the promotion, distribution, and review of this film in the West, at most, we will sell copyrights, I don't know how much it can sell, and we don't have to think about it at the box office." ”
Wang Yao was stunned, "Like this?"
"Of course, you think it's so easy to enter a foreign market? Those gringos are very shrewd. Mr. Ma smiled.
"What about the films we introduced?" Wang Yao was stunned.
"Look at how to talk about it, buying the copyright depends on whether the other party is willing to sell it, now it is basically a buyout piece, because the domestic market is unstable, they would rather make a deal, but after all, Longguo is a large country with a large population, and the future market will definitely get better and better, but it is not excluded that the problem of the store bullying customers, if the foreign film is strong, the initiative of the domestic market is in the hands of others, because the copyright of these imported films is in the hands of others, and they share or buy out, how to divide it, it is all the initiative of others. Mr. Ma shook his head helplessly, "Who makes the family have milk, if there is milk, it is a mother, these foreign blockbusters play a too big role in the development and promotion of the market, and it is difficult to integrate with international standards if they are not introduced." ”
Wang Yao frowned, he didn't think that he was still optimistic, and the initiative really had to rely on his works and strength to speak.
"It's a good style, but the project won't be too big. At this time, Mr. Ma noticed the sub-shot of "Zodiac Turn" on the table, "There are not too many painters who can reach your level, and even if there is, the price is not negotiable." ”
