Chapter 188: Beginning of Winter

After the distribution agreement document was signed, Zou Minhuai took Chenlong to say goodbye and left, and before leaving, Chenlong did not forget to remind Wang Zheng to start the machine as soon as possible, it seems that he can't wait for this cooperation.

"Brother Long, don't worry, when I'm done with the past few days, I'll talk to you with the character script!"

The script written earlier is only the framework of the whole story, and the more detailed character script narrates the branch line of the whole story, and in Chenlong's films, the protagonist often plays a much larger role than the other characters, and the same is true for the sequel story.

After receiving Wang Zheng's affirmative reply, Chen Long left with a smile.

"The five-tier division of the two co-produced films, how does Ah Zheng think you and I should divide the two companies?"

When Zou Minhuai and Chen Long left the office, Shao Daheng asked Wang Zheng's opinion.

"I am quite satisfied to be able to involve a new company like Zhengfei Xingwei that has no foundation, and the distribution matters are all up to the sixth uncle. ”

Opening his mouth to get the copyright of the second co-production has made Shao Daheng a little unhappy, and Wang Zheng no longer has to make an inch, so he simply distributes the five layers of box office profits by Shao Daheng, so as not to make unpleasant trouble, no matter how he says that the tycoon can be regarded as his leading nobleman.

Wang Zheng's regression made Shao Daheng very satisfied, he nodded and said: "These two dramas are co-productions of many companies, so they can't be counted among the five movies agreed between you and me, excluding the box office in Southeast Asia, give you 20% of the box office profit of Xiangjiang, what do you think?"

"Yes, thank you, Uncle Six!"

Wang Zheng didn't think too much about it, and immediately couldn't agree to the distribution of Shao Daheng.

There is no share of overseas box office and video tapes, and the two-tier local box office in Xiangjiang is undoubtedly a very cheap price for Wang Zheng, who participated in the investment and directing of these two dramas, and the reason why he still agreed to it knowing that it was cheap is because the current Zheng Fei Xingwei has just started, and he can only rely on the help of the two big ships of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest in the early stage to sail to the depths of the rough sea.

Seeing Wang Zheng agree, a smile appeared on Shao Daheng Gujing Wubo's face, and then talked about the box office situation of "The True Color of Heroes" overseas.

"The true character of heroes is very sought after in both the country of Wa and the country of sticks, and the degree of popularity is no less than that of Bruce Lee's kung fu movies back then, all of which are the credit of Ah Zheng!"

The fiery nature of the hero, Wang Zheng had expected it, but it came later than expected, and when he heard Shao Tycoon's praise, he said modestly: "It's all because the sixth uncle has a good leadership to have such good results, if it weren't for the help of Shaw Brothers' inclined resources, I wouldn't have so much motivation to create!"

Shao Tycoon laughed and said: "You don't have to be modest, finish those five movies as soon as possible, and Shaw Brothers Pictures also has your share." After a pause, he asked: "How is the filming of the new drama, do you have the confidence to defend the champion of the Chinese New Year?"

"The new drama has been completed, and the box office will definitely exceed 20 million, as for whether the champion can be defended, it depends on what cards the new art city plays against us in the Lunar New Year file, if it is still the best partner series, then I have the confidence to stop their footsteps. ”

Although the Best Partner series has a box office record that breaks the history of Hong Kong films, the production cost is higher than the first, and the box office continues to decline.

After listening to Wang Zheng's analysis, the smile on Shao Daheng's face became stronger, and finally said with a smile: "That's good, in addition to strengthening the progress of the two co-productions, the progress of the remaining four dramas must also be accelerated, but I have been waiting to see the day when you become a shareholder of Shaw Brothers." ”

Wang Zheng nodded with a wry smile, with the increase of money and fame, the pressure on his body is also increasing, it is really impossible not to Hongyi, the road ahead is heavy and long.

After the signing of the four companies to work together to make a film, Wang Zheng began to be busy in the post-production of "Prison Storm", because it was filmed based on the memory of his previous life and his own understanding, so he had to follow up the whole process of post-production, including the final editing, if he didn't take care of it, the final version might be far from what he expected.

In the past five years of busyness in Xiangjiang, Wang Zheng feels more and more that his memory is strengthening, not only remembering the bits and pieces of his life in the past five years, but also the memories of his past life have become clearer, including the movies he has seen and the movies, which exist in his memory mind like a lens picture.

This change just confirms the butterfly effect, the combination of two souls not only strengthens the memory bank, but also strengthens the brain nerves.

It took a week to complete the post-production, and the time also entered the beginning of winter at the end of November, the north of the Oriental Continent has been drifting goose feather snow, although Xiangjiang belongs to the tropics, but the fierce typhoon will feel cold for a long time, the citizens passing by on the streets of Xiangjiang have added thick clothes, and many young people wear the same windbreaker as Brother Hao and Brother Xiaoma, with the same sunglasses, and walk with the wind.

During the week that Wang Guxian came to Xiangjiang, except for going out with Wang Zheng once, he spent most of his time learning Cantonese pronunciation in the Dunhoulou dormitory.

At the end of November, the new year's wireless station celebration is in urgent preparation, but this time Wang Zheng declined the invitation to perform on stage, after the end of the later stage of "Prison Storm", he took the time to write the character script of the sequel to "Plan A", and he is now busy with Chen Long to determine the sequel character.

Since Wang Zheng, Da Fei, Liang Chaowei, and Zhou Xingchi have become popular in Xiangjiang, Xu Ji Tea Restaurant has also become popular, and the Hong Kong-style food here not only tastes authentic, but also often has directors and actors from wireless and ATV to discuss scripts here, and at the same time many fans come here.

Wang Zheng and Chenlong also met in Xu Ji, because it was not meal time, there were not many guests in the restaurant, Uncle Jian was still the same, knocking on the abacus in the counter, and the two were sitting in the corner of the restaurant.

Drinking Xu Ji's new mellow milk tea, Wang Zheng explained to Chenlong, who had finished reading the script: "Because the filming time of this drama is relatively rushed, I didn't take Brother Long's two brothers into account. ”

It's not that Wang Zheng doesn't want to arrange Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao into the sequel story, but that there are no two of them in the sequel.

Chen Long waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, Brother Sanmao has left Jiahe and opened his own independent production company, I am afraid that I will not be available to find him to participate, and Yuan Biao's junior brother is relatively idle, and I don't know which country to travel in at this time." ”

Hong Jinbao and Cen Jianxun, who played the ugly star, formed Debao Film Company, Wang Zheng also heard about it, but Chenlong didn't mind, he continued: "Most of the supporting roles in the sequel story are still the first part, and the new roles arranged in them still need Golden Harvest to select actors, and our Shaw Brothers are only responsible for arranging the roles of actresses." ”

Chenlong nodded and said, "Of course this is no problem, but I want to know if it's the actresses." ”

Wang Zheng smiled slightly: "Guan Zhilin, Zhang Manyu, Liu Jialing, and one of the treasure island newcomers that our Shaw Brothers focus on cultivating, her name is Wang Guxian!"

In addition to the newcomers Wang Guxian and Carol Lau, Chen Long is very familiar with Guan Zhilin and Zhang Manyu, after "Happy Events in the Family" became popular in Xiangjiang, these two "Zheng girls" also rose with the tide, Zhang Manyu is okay, Guan Zhilin and Wang Zheng have a lot of scandals, and they are his queen heroines, and the general film company is really not moving.

Seeing that Chenlong had no opinion, Wang Zheng said again: "The candidates for the new roles will be determined as soon as possible, no matter whether Jiahe is directly arranged or publicly cast, the final role must be approved by me." ”

Chen Long smiled: "That's natural, you are the director, of course you have the final say." ”

After negotiating the role candidates, the crew of "Plan A 2" was officially established, abolishing the producer position, and adding a production team headed by Zou Minhuai and Fang Yihua to supervise the progress and quality of the film in the filming process.
