Chapter 147: The Man Who Wants to Cooperate (Part I)
"Wenwu Studio?"
"Wenwu Studio!"
Chen Zhensheng and Cai Xing spoke in unison, but their tones were different. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Cai Xing is puzzled, which company is Wenwu Studio, why haven't I heard of it before. And Chen Zhensheng was surprised, how could it be a civil and military studio.
"That's right, it's the company, have you heard?" Jin Yong said.
Cai Xing didn't answer, glanced at Chen Zhensheng, and found that his face was a little solemn, and he immediately understood that he should know about this company.
"Mr. Cha, can you tell us how much this Wenwu studio spent on the film and television rights of your work?" Chen Zhensheng did not answer Jin Yong's question, but asked rhetorically.
"Well." Jin Yong looked a little hesitant. Chen Zhensheng immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing. The price is said to be personal privacy at best, and it is a trade secret at the top, so how can you easily tell others.
"I'm sorry Mr. Cha, I asked a question that shouldn't be asked, so you don't think I asked." Chen Zhensheng said.
"Mr. Chen, you seem to know more about this civil and military studio, can you tell me about it, why haven't I heard of this company before." Cai Xingdao.
"It's normal that you haven't heard of this company, but you must have heard of its boss." Chen Zhensheng said.
"Boss, who?" Cai Xing said suspiciously.
"Gu Wenwu." Chen Zhensheng slowly spit out these three words.
"Gu Wenwu?" Cai Xing was not calm immediately.
……
"That's the way it is, Jin Yong's five most outstanding works were bought by Wenwu Studio, including "The Legend of Deer and Ding" and "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", so after communicating with Minister Hu, I decided to put this matter aside for the time being." At a meeting of Huayi Company, Chen Zhensheng got up and explained the whole story clearly to the company's senior management.
"Wenwu Studio, is that Gu Wenwu's studio?" Wang Zhongjun said.
"That's right." Chen Zhensheng nodded.
"How could he have thought of buying the copyright of Jin Yong's work, and he did it so quickly." Wang Zhonglei said.
"I heard Jin Yong say that it was because Wenwu Studio was one of the investors in "Dragon Babu", so he bought five works early." Chen Zhensheng said.
"I didn't expect that this Gu Wenwu not only knows how to film, but also has such a business vision." Wang Zhongjun exclaimed.
"Then Mr. Wang, how should we deal with it, is to buy the copyright of Jin Yong's other works, or buy the copyright back from the Wenwu Studio." Hu Yijie, Minister of Film and Television, said.
"Buy it back, no, you don't need it, Wenwu Studio is just a small company after all, and it is impossible to shoot these five works independently, so they should be very eager to cooperate with other companies now." Wang Zhonglei said.
"However, haven't they been cooperating with Wanda Entertainment, will Gu Wenwu agree to cooperate with our company?" Hu Yijie wondered.
"Don't worry, he'll work with us, unless he wants to rely on Wanda Entertainment all the time." Wang Zhonglei said confidently.
Compared with Huayi Company, Sugar Man Entertainment does not have so many rules. After Cai Xing came back from Xiangjiang, he immediately found the chief boss of Sugar Man Entertainment, that is, his cousin - Cai Yinong.
"Sister, why don't we change a novel, anyway, Jin Yong still has so many novels." Cai Xing suggested.
"In this way, the people in your film and television department will make another evaluation of Jin Yong's other works, select the works that have the most potential and are most in line with our company, and then talk to Jin Yong." Cai Yinong didn't think much about it and made a decision directly. She's always been so resolute.
"I see." Cai Xingdao.
Regardless of what the two companies have responded to because of the action of Wenwu Studio. After breaking four, the ratings of "Dragon Babu" are still going up step by step, and they are already unstoppable. The industry has been shocked by this TV series made by newcomers or unknown artists from the director to the actors. Needless to say, the actors became popular, and director Zhang Jizhong also became famous.
Zhang Jizhong was proud of the spring breeze at this time, and he felt like he had seen all the Chang'an flowers in one day. Since the broadcast of "Dragon Babu", he can clearly feel the change in the attitude of the people around him. That attitude, called respect, has never been felt so strongly.
"Come on, Director Zhang, please take a seat." The reception room of Kyushu Entertainment boss Shangguan Yue. Shangguan Yue asked Zhang Jizhong to sit down with a kind face, and the secretary standing on the side hurriedly served tea.
"Thank you." Zhang Jizhong smiled and nodded to the female secretary.
"Xiao Yun." Shangguan Yue gestured to the female secretary beside him, Xiao Yun understood, took out a check from his pocket, and handed it to Shangguan Yue.
Seeing Shangguan Yue push the check over, Zhang Jizhong glanced at the number on it: 10,000 yuan.
"What do you mean, Mr. Shangguan?" Zhang Jizhong asked.
"It's just a little meaning, "Dragon Babu" is so popular, Director Zhang, you have the greatest credit, this is the red envelope given to Director Zhang by our company, and I hope Director Zhang will not refuse." Shangguan Yue said sincerely.
Generally speaking, if a movie is a hit, then the producer will give the main creative lineup a red envelope. Zhang Jizhong had also heard of such rules, but he understood that Shangguan Yue's purpose was obviously more than that.
"In that case, then I will be disrespectful." No matter what Shangguan Yue's purpose was, he had a clear conscience when he took this money.
"What has Director Zhang been busy with lately, is he busy with new works?" Shangguan Yue asked.
"That's not true, not long after the filming of "Dragon Babu" was completed, I want to talk about it slowly." Zhang Jizhong said.
"In this case, our company has just bought the copyright of one of Mr. Jin Yong's works, and I don't know if Director Zhang is interested in taking over." Shangguan Yue said.
"Oh." As soon as he heard this, Zhang Jizhong immediately became interested. He has always been very interested in Jin Yong's works, otherwise he would not have filmed "Dragon Babu". Now Shangguan Yue said that he is going to shoot another Jin Yong martial arts drama, but it is another phenomenon drama. You must know that there is more than one of Jin Yong's novels that is not inferior to "Dragon Babu".
"I don't know which work it is, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", or "The Legend of the Sky and the Dragon", or "The Legend of the Deer and Ding". Zhang Jizhong hurriedly asked.
Listening to Zhang Jizhong's words, Shangguan Yue was slightly embarrassed. Although embarrassed, he couldn't help but answer: "No, it's "Liancheng Jue". ”
""Connecting the Cities?" Zhang Jizhong had a question on his face. Compared with the novels he said, "Liancheng Jue" is naturally a little worse in terms of adaptation. You must know that not all novels are suitable for adaptation into film and television dramas. Many novels are very good-looking in themselves, but they are completely unwatchable when adapted into film and television dramas. Excluding the problem of shooting, the adaptability of the novel itself is also a big problem. After all, filming into a film and television drama has to consider all aspects, and it is not just a stroke of the pen.
"That's right, several of the works you mentioned were bought by others, so ......"
Shangguan Yue didn't finish speaking, but Zhang Jizhong already understood. According to his meaning, "Liancheng Jue" is the tallest among the short.
"Bought up, bought by which company?" Zhang Jizhong asked.
"You also know, it's the civil and military studio." Shangguan Yue said.
I've been busy a lot lately, so please forgive me if the update is unstable!
