Chapter 157: Brush up on favor

"The copyright of the Red Flower Society, you say the copyright of these three words?"

Xu Yan glanced at Chen Jialuo, obviously thinking that this kid just wanted to take the opportunity to contact Mr. Cha, and was bent on the copyright of his "Smiling Proud Jianghu".

As for the copyright of the three words of the Red Flower Society, the name or character of Mr. Cha is used all over the street, and no one has said that he will give any copyright fee. Not to mention some film and television dramas, some will pop up from time to time......

Chen Jialuo smiled and said: "Okay, in fact, I just want to meet Mr. Cha and want to shoot his "Smiling Proud Jianghu". ”

As for the three words 'Red Flower Society' to Mr. Cha's copyright fee, he is naturally willing to give it. After all, this is not like his own name - Chen Jialuo, which is just a martial arts fan naming his child, but to use the 'Red Flower Club' for the registration of the company, which can also be regarded as a commercial use.

In fact, in this regard, there is a good example in the previous life - classmate Zhou Xingxing.

Can you imagine that? When filming "Kung Fu", just because Jin Yong's characters were quoted in it, a person like Xing Ye who 'picked the door' actually bought six names with 60,000 yuan.

It is understood that in that year, after the filming of the movie "Kung Fu" was completed, when it was about to be released, Zhou Xingxing suddenly found Mr. Cha.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was scared, because Zhou Xingxing said that he would pay the copyright fee. But Mr. Cha is also a little unable to turn around, and it feels a little strange, because he has also heard of Zhou Xingxing's "Kung Fu", and it is not adapted from his work, where does the copyright tax come from?

Xing Ye's explanation was: "In this movie, I used several of your names, let's count, and we will give you royalties." ”

Mr. Cha was shocked when he heard this, and quoted a few mission names that also have copyright taxes? You must know that Mr. Cha has only heard that there are royalties for adapting literary works, which is also what the author deserves.

But just quoting the name and verbally mentioning that there is no need to charge for the manuscript, Mr. Cha felt that it was unnecessary at that time, and refused: "Many shops, many TV stations and media, don't charge money for using many names in my works, and yours won't charge either." ”

But Zhou Xingxing is a serious person, and he is even more serious about his works, such a person cannot tolerate the slightest flaw, and a good work should be attentive and reassuring and respectable from the inside out.

So Zhou Xingxing insisted: "These works of yours have a huge influence, and these characters have long been a cultural symbol and have copyright." Let's count how many places are used in total, and then you make an offer. ”

In Xingye's repeated insistence, Mr. Cha also sighed, so he counted them together, adding up to a total of 6 names, such as chartered Gong Yang Guo, chartered Po Xiaolongnu, Toad Gong, Condor Heroes, etc.

After checking it, he smiled at Zhou Xingxing and said, "You use 6 places, give 10,000 yuan for each place." Later, Mr. Cha donated the money to the tsunami-stricken area in South Asia at that time, which was also a good conversation.

Chen Jialuo is not a beautiful talk, to put it bluntly, he is looking for a reason to meet Mr. Cha, and by the way, he can get a good impression of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" that he wants to shoot.

"Actually, after you came over with the script of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", I went to contact Mr. Cha. At that time, he agreed to license the film copyright to us, but later because he was busy with the preparation of movies such as "A Chinese Ghost Story", he didn't continue to talk. ”

Of course, Xu Qian knew that this was a little martial arts fan in front of him, and he came here with the script of "Smiling Proud Jianghu". Now that he mentions it, he doesn't mind explaining.

"Sure enough, Old Man Xu is a powerful man, when will you have time to take me to visit Mr. Cha?"

"What is the monkey anxious about, if you want to make a martial arts movie yourself, our film studio will not take this risk. Of course, after you set up your own Red Flower Society, you will go to the door together, my Lord Helmsman. ”

Speaking of which, Xu Wei also reminded: "Ah Luo, being your own boss and being a director are completely different things. Many people may make movies that are very popular and profitable, but their own companies are losing a lot of money and can't be saved. ”

"The box office is the box office, and the profit is the profit. The distribution of the box office of the movie is very complicated, even Hong Jinbao and they can't be considered businessmen. ”

"I understand that you have to start small and take it one step at a time. If I fail, I'll go back to the studio and work for you, so you won't take me in, right?"

Looking at Chen Jialuo's embarrassed expression, Xu Wei scolded with a smile: "I'm waiting to fight you in the ring!"

"Excuse me, I'll work for you to pay off the debt first!"

I still have four film contracts to fulfill with the film studio, and the copyrights of "Prison Storm" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" are in the hands of the film studio, and the sequels of these two films must be made.

It's really not good, so I will shoot the third episode, two films a year, and Chen Jialuo has to learn how to be a doppelganger.

Xu Wei nodded and said, "You still remember to repay my debts! Rong Shao and Xiaoxian, I have already negotiated." The sequel to "A Chinese Ghost Story", what about the script?"

Chen Jialuo asked, "The script will be sent to you tomorrow, what about Wu Ma?"

Xu Tao said: "He must be fine." ”

A movie that has achieved results in the market and proved itself, the most taboo thing is to change important roles. Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian are already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and if they change their corners and hit the street, it will be a big problem.

Therefore, Leslie Cheung and Wang Guxian are the first sequence to be negotiated first, even if the bid is slightly higher.

And Wu Ma is a particularly outstanding supporting role in this movie, such a golden supporting role, Chen Jialuo plans to give him more scenes. Even if this kind of actor strings more than a dozen shows a day, there will be no big problem.

As for the other filming teams, there is no need for Chen Jialuo to work too hard, because Chen Xiaodong will participate in the filming of this movie again.

This time, it was not that Xu Xian insisted that Chen Xiaodong come over and form a double-Chen combination with Chen Jialuo, but that Chen Xiaodong himself said that he wanted to learn from Chen Jialuo and learn the ability to direct. Although he is very outstanding in martial arts instruction, his ability to be a director needs to be strengthened.

Xu asked, "When do you expect the filming to start?"

"Big guy, you don't come to this set. Let's talk directly about which time period they talked about with Rong Shao and Xiaoxian. Chen Jialuo pursed his lips and said, "The time I said will definitely not change!"

It's not that actors can't adjust the schedule for the movie, but since the schedule has been negotiated, the subsequent work schedule will continue and cannot be easily changed.

At that time, Chen Jialuo said that a month and a half later, Xu Qian also talked about it according to this time. Now seeing that Chen Jialuo looked very obedient, Xu Laowei rolled his eyes and said: "It's not just me, you are now a popular spicy chicken, they are afraid that you will suddenly delay the schedule, and it is not good to offend ......"

"It's a hot and cold world. ”

Chen Jialuo joked and said: "I took advantage of this time to register the company first, and then I devoted myself to my work, and I didn't dare to drag Master Xu's project." ”
