After the Christmas holiday, Cheng Weiliang, Guan Wei and Zhong Yihao were invited to ATV. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Mr. Cheng, Mr. Guan, please take a seat!" Li Zhuanglie, the director of the TV station, stepped forward to greet him with a spring breeze on his face, and after shaking hands warmly, the two sides sat down.
In the reception room, representatives of the three major investors of "Meteor Garden" gathered, and the three parties will discuss the distribution of investment income here today.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the cooperation between ATV and Polygram this time is very successful! Before discussing the matter, I suggest that we all applaud warmly for the unprecedented achievements achieved by "Meteor Garden"!" Li Zhuanglie suggested with a smile after taking a seat, and applauded first.
"Congratulations!" Cheng Weiliang, Guan Wei and Xu Xiaoming and other ATV personnel also applauded warmly.
The "Meteor Garden" TV series was indeed an unprecedented success, and during this time, ATV not only gained a huge reputation in Hong Kong and overseas, but also made a lot of money.
"Wei Liang, dividends are very important, but there is still some time, I will discuss something with you first. Xu Xiaoming sat on the sofa opposite Cheng Weiliang, and said to him in a hurry: "Your next album album hasn't been released so soon, right?"
"Yes, the third album will be after the Chinese New Year. Now the market is still digesting the second album and the soundtrack of "Shooting Star". Cheng Weiliang nodded.
Xu Xiaoming looked at Cheng Weiliang with some expectation: "Then you have been on vacation for a few days when you return to Hong Kong, do you plan to go out of the mountain?" I told you before that our TV station wants to cooperate with you in another TV series. You also told me a while ago that you are already preparing for the next youth drama, how about it, is the script written now?"
"Yes, Mr. Cheng, I am here to extend a sincere invitation to you on behalf of ATV. We really appreciate your acting skills, as well as your screenwriting talent, and look forward to working with you again. Li Zhuanglie said next to him.
"In terms of salary, please rest assured, we will give a high price of 500,000 yuan, and you will become the first male lead actor of our ATV, and your fame will shine all over Asia again! ”
Guan Wei nodded secretly, the offer is indeed very good. The previous "Rogue Tycoon" wireless only gave 20,000. In terms of salary, although Cheng Weiliang's advertising value is about to reach 1 million, his foundation is too shallow, full of calculations, he has only been in the showbiz for more than half a year, and he has only acted in a TV series, and he has not starred in a movie, and the salary of Xiangjiang TV series has never been high, so 1 million can only be the advertising value, and TV and movies are embarrassingly priceless.
Hearing Li Zhuanglie's offer, Cheng Weiliang smiled and was silent.
Seeing that Cheng Weiliang didn't reply immediately, Xu Xiaoming chuckled in his heart, he was a little embarrassed. Although Li Zhuanglie gave a very generous remuneration, he never mentioned that he would cooperate for the second time according to the last joint venture.
According to Xu Xiaoming's meaning, he is willing to make a joint venture with Cheng Weiliang again, as long as Cheng Weiliang's script can make ATV's ratings rise and compete with TVB.
However, this time "Meteor Garden" is so popular, copyright sales, video tape distribution, and peripheral products are all popular. While the huge income makes the people of Taiwan excited, it is inevitable that there will be sporadic sour words, saying that Cheng Weiliang is not a signed artist of ATV, and now the TV station has made people popular in Asia, and they will be taken away half of the income for nothing!
Xu Xiaoming was very angry, but helpless, there was indeed no precedent for TV stations and actors to make joint ventures to make dramas before, and "Meteor Garden" was only regarded as an exceptional attempt that was not paid enough attention to at first, and could not become a regular rule.
Xu Xiaoming is very worried that Cheng Weiliang will no longer cooperate with ATV.
Cheng Weiliang quickly smiled and said: "I am very happy about this cooperation with ATV, and I look forward to the next cooperation! Director Xu, I remember I told you some time ago that I am preparing a script. However, I have two books ready, one for a TV series and one for a movie. ”
As he spoke, he opened his briefcase and took out a script, "I brought the script here today, you can appreciate it." If I think it's okay, then I'll transfer it to ATV. ”
"Brought it over today?" Xu Xiaoming took the script in surprise.
"Well, yes! This "Wedding Dress of Heaven", the plot design is also very innovative. Xu Xiaoming was very satisfied with it, this is obviously a story in the style of Cheng Weiliang, and other screenwriters can't write this idol drama style. He read it and circulated it to others.
When the rest of ATV watched it, their eyes also lit up, and they felt that the plot was the same as the popular "Meteor Garden", which was unique from Xiangjiang's TV drama style.
Of course it's good, although it didn't rank in Cheng Weiliang's mind, but in any case, "The Wedding Dress of Heaven" achieved good ratings on Taiwan Island in the 2000s, and the plot of later TV dramas is still much more exciting than the 80s, the era of the initial development of TV dramas. Now as long as it is successfully filmed, the ratings will not be bad.
Cheng Weiliang gives a text script, and the storyboard script is generally written by the director himself, and each director will create his own style of storyboard script according to the text script.
And the Xiangjiang directors of this era, even film directors don't write storyboard scripts very much, and even story scripts are written while shooting.
He knew that ATV had now asked the screenwriters in the station to write several scripts in the style of "Meteor Garden", and planned to shoot them himself.
Since ATV hasn't learned to walk yet, in order to save a little copyright dividends, he has to leave him alone. Then he will see, with the same text script, what kind of effect will the director of Xiangjiang in the 80s shoot the love idol drama of the 2000s?
You must know that the performance style of love idol dramas is different from the style of other TV dramas, if it is filmed too realistically, it will not be dreamy enough, and the taste will be biased.
Of course, if ATV shoots well, Cheng Weiliang doesn't mind contributing a few truly classic Korean dramas or mainland dramas. If the filming is not good, then he will occasionally take some Taiwan dramas and forget it, and keep the high-quality dramas for himself.
In his eyes, Taiwan idol dramas are a bit impetuous in terms of plot and actors' performance style, which is not as delicate and warm as Korean dramas, and is suitable for all ages.
After ATV passed the script around, they unanimously decided to buy it at a high price.
"Then, Wei Liang, do you appear in this drama?" Xu Xiaoming asked again.
"Director Xu, another script for my film is now in the preparation stage. My goal for the next phase is mainly to focus on films. ATV's TV series, I can go and make a cameo if I want. Cheng Weiliang replied.
"It's okay, Mr. Cheng, you can go and get busy with the movie first, and our ATV door is waiting for you at any time." Li Zhuanglie is a little regretful, but thinking that the fame of other F4 actors is only slightly inferior to Cheng Weiliang, anyway, with the script, he may not have to be!
Since Cheng Weiliang is going to an unfamiliar film field, let him touch it, maybe he will touch it with a full head, and he will automatically return to ATV, and when the time comes, he will not be afraid to surrender to him, a little tiger! In the future, let him act or write a script, and the cost will be much less! After thinking like this, Li Zhuanglie smiled and generously made a promise.
Maybe in a few days, I will come to ATV to borrow a few actors, and I hope Director Li can be accommodating when the time comes. Cheng Weiliang happily stretched out his hand to shake him.
"No problem!" Li Zhuanglie readily agreed, and he was very willing to show favor to this talented young man.
