Chapter 156

"If you are an ordinary moviegoer, which of these two styles would you prefer?" Cheng Weiliang brought Zeng Huaqian a cup of coffee or milk tea, then took out two scripts and handed them to read. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Is it inclined to love + light-hearted and funny elements, or is it inclined to serious action and fighting elements?" asked Cheng Weiliang with a smile.

"Cheng Weiliang, do you want to make a movie?" the girls asked him in unison, mixed with surprise and surprise.

"Brother Liang, have you finally decided to start making movies?" Xibiao jumped up happily, clapped his palms excitedly and said: "Action movie! Action movie is good! Brother Liang, your kung fu must look good, and when the movie is made, maybe you can become a kung fu superstar like Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao!"

The big mouth was obviously stunned for a moment, "Shoot, make a movie?"

But now Brother Liang's TV series is very popular, and those sponsors are coming over with money, and they are asking when will the next one be filmed?

ATV also wants him and Zeng Huaqian to collaborate on another TV series while the iron is hot, and it is best that Brother Ah Liang can write a few more popular idol dramas like "Meteor Garden".

"Meteor Garden" said unceremoniously that it has become popular in most of Asia, and many countries are vying for money to come over and say that they want to introduce it, and Chinese TV stations as far away as the United States and Canada, as well as Chile and Argentina, have sent representatives to negotiate the purchase of dramas or the distribution rights of video tapes.

Many countries were originally broadcast on non-mainstream TV stations, but after the ratings became popular, they are now being broadcast on national TV for the second round of broadcasting!

ATV itself also began to rebroadcast, broadcast every afternoon, and the ratings actually exploded again, and ATV's advertising fees made a lot of money!

The bonus of a "Meteor Garden" made Brother A Liang share several million, and his value skyrocketed, and countless advertisers and film crews came to him with money to make films.

Countless foreign businessmen invited him to perform in the local area at high prices, and countless commercial activities wanted to invite him to attend and cut ribbons......

Big Mouth never thought that a TV series could be so profitable, more profitable than most movies!

"Brother Liang, the commercial film between BMW and Coca-Cola has been negotiated, and the contract is about to be signed. Your worth is about to rise to 1 million, and you are about to compete with superstars like Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, Xu Guanwen, and Xu Guanjie......!

"Say whatever you want. Cheng Weiliang saw that he was hesitant, so he helped him speak.

When Dazui Wen heard this, he also let it go, and said: "Brother Liang, the movie is not so easy to make, and there are many people who are ruined on the street." It doesn't matter if you just lose some money, but if you pounce too badly, it will affect your reputation and affect your current worth. ”

"It's better to make two or three more TV series that you are good at, stabilize your fame and worth, and then make him a million again, and then try to make movies. ”

"You have a point. Cheng Weiliang smiled and nodded.

Before the big mouth could jump, he continued: "But I still decided to make a movie." ”

He walked over and patted the shoulder of the big mouth who couldn't figure it out, "Do you think ATV will let me participate in investment dividends next time? How much can they get to buy my script? How much will I be paid for acting?"

Bigmouth Wen opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak for a long time.

The script is not valuable, and there are many screenwriters in ATV, so I don't have to worry about no story shooting. Unless Cheng Weiliang can prove that he writes one, he will be popular!

Now Cheng Weiliang has only written two films, both of which are popular, proving that he is a capable screenwriter. However, there are not a few capable screenwriters in Xiangjiang, and the key is that no one dares to guarantee that every one of his works will be popular.

No one knows, will your next work be popular or not? Therefore, ATV can only pay a high price to buy Cheng Weiliang's script, not a sky-high price!

The same is true for TV drama salaries, the level of the industry is generally not high, even if Cheng Weiliang is popular now, the salary cannot be as high as the sky! Zhou Yanfa , Liu Songren , Weng Meiling , Zheng Yuling These TV stars are also smash hits, and they don't see them being able to get more than one million dollars for acting in a TV series after they become popular.

Alas, it seems that this time "Meteor Garden" can earn millions, which can only be an example.

"That TV series, although it doesn't have much money, at least keep the heat and make money back by shooting commercials. Big Mouth was still trying to persuade, but his tone was already weak.

Even the fine mark this time feels that the big mouth article seems to make sense, I heard that the film industry is very deep, and it is very possible for a newcomer to rashly make a movie and lose all his money.

Cheng Weiliang smiled and didn't explain much, some words are not suitable to say too deeply to them.

ATV has the broadcast channel of TV dramas and holds the initiative, and under the falling out between Cheng Weiliang and TVB, ATV has become his only choice.

Cheng Weiliang doesn't want to rely too much on ATV, he is subject to ATV, he doesn't want ATV and the outside world to feel that he has to continue to rely on ATV to shoot TV and make a lot of money.

He only needs to maintain a certain amount of close cooperation with the ATV side at the moment.

Cheng Weiliang gave a superficial statement: "Don't worry! You underestimate the power of "Meteor Garden", his dividends are enough for me to squander for a year and a half, and I can also maintain my popularity, so that advertisers can find me to shoot advertisements." During this period, it was enough for me to try the taste of filmmaking. ”

The big mouth is helpless, Brother Ah Liang just likes to try something new, he tried singing, so he went to shoot TV, and after filming TV, he wanted to try a movie again.

Wu Junru said: "Hey, Cheng Weiliang, who in Xiangjiang now dares to underestimate the power of "Meteor Garden"? Everywhere you F4 go, even the king and princess of Thailand have personally met you in the palace, and the wife of the Philippine minister has also come forward to invite you to their country to communicate, your crew is majestic enough!"

Speaking of this, they all burst into laughter, but the news has been reported in the media in Xiangjiang for several days.

"Well, let's get down to business, these two scripts tell the same story, but the difference is in their own style and focus. Based on your own intentions, what style of story would you prefer?" Cheng Weiliang returned to the topic and asked seriously.

In the past six months, he has prepared a total of six scripts. He has his own considerations for the choice of the first film he is about to direct. It's not that the high-grossing movies in the history of Xiangjiang are suitable for his film debut.

The six movies "Happy Ghost", "Frog Prince", "Police Story", "Mr. Zombie", "Extralegal Affair" and "Overlord Flower" are all relatively classic, and the box office is also very good.

"Mr. Zombie" and "Police Story" were expensive to produce, had a long lead time, and were quite difficult to film, making them not suitable for his first directorial debut. And in "Police Story", he still prefers Cheng Long to act.

Of course, Cheng Weiliang can play the leading role by himself, but in that case, the performance style will change. He can't play Cheng Long, and he has a funny and funny fighting style. The policeman he played may have cool and sharp fighting moves.

Cheng Weiliang finally thought about it, let's respect the original classics.

The remaining four scripts are actually quite suitable, the cost is small, the production difficulty is not high, the box office is high, and the cost performance is very good.

Suitable is suitable, but because of some factors, he chose to give up the other three books and choose one of them.

And the selected movie, he felt that there were also some problems. He felt that the original work was relatively rough and his attitude was a bit perfunctory, wasting this interesting subject.

Cheng Weiliang watched this movie when he was a child and thought it was very interesting, so he chose this movie as his first work.

He adapted the original script, deleting the supporting roles of one man and one woman in the original work, and adding a new distinct male character instead.

At the same time, the style of the original drama has been modified to a certain extent, increasing the proportion of action scenes, and trying to make this film a masterpiece, not just a comedy.

However, he was worried that he was working as a film director for the first time, and the changes he made would not be accepted by the audience, so he took out the original script, put the stories of the two scripts together, and asked Zeng Huaqian and a few of them to make a judgment.
