Chapter 88: Giving Movie Tickets
At the beginning of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's weakness, being bullied, and being pressured is a selling point. The audience will expect both to grow and get out of trouble.
And Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling stole "The Secret of Eternal Life", escaped from Yangzhou, and met Fu Junzhuo, this series of stories is soothed from depression.
And the battle between Fu Junzhuo and Yu Wenhua can also be emphatically rendered. For example, "Xuan Bing Jin" and Yi Swordsmanship, these two martial arts can use computer special effects to enhance vision.
Of course, later Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling learned martial arts, and used martial arts to save Susu, which is also a section of **. Because, the two protagonists have finally become heroes, and they can raise their eyebrows
In fact, this is the plot of the first episode of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". In fact, the plot of this first episode is quite tight, and there are multiple **. Shot alone into a 90-minute movie, it's totally enough!
Gu Long was surprised: "Computer special effects, in this way, 2 million Hong Kong dollars is enough to spend?" ”
Zhang Shaojie smiled calmly: "Big Brother Gu, don't worry. Just go for it. I'm behind it, so I don't have to worry about the cost at all. The only problem, I'm afraid, Baolong can't shoot well with money"
Gu Long was arrogant: "Can't shoot well? Impossible! With such a big production, you handed it over to me, I will definitely shoot it! Of course, the director will ask Gao Ming. However, I can be a good producer! At least, the martial arts classics of Shaw Brothers and TVB, in fact, I have been a producer, screenwriter, assistant director, etc."
Zhang Shaojie thought for a while and said: "In terms of directors, I want to find some new *wave* tide directors, among which there are a few young people, Tsui Hark, Cheng Xiaodong, etc., you can invite them to come." Martial arts action director, I am optimistic about Yuan Heping! ”
"Tsui Hark? Can he handle such a large production? Gu Long was a little skeptical.
Tsui Hark first became a director in 78 with a nine-episode TV series "Golden Knife Lover" based on Gu Long's novel. In this TV series, the film concept that Tsui Hark learned from Hollywood in the United States and the new wave * tide in Europe is used in martial arts TV series, which is quite refreshing. In 79, Tsui Hark worked in Siyuan Film Company's "Butterfly Change". filmed "The First Type of Danger" in 80, although Tsui Hark's personal style was affirmed by industry insiders, but it was very mediocre and inconspicuous at the box office.
To put it simply, Tsui Hark is now a popular and unpopular cutting-edge director on the street! If you want Tsui Hark to turn over, if you have to wait until Tsui Hark opens up and follows Xu Guanwen's ghost horse movie to shoot "Sword and Horse", the box office will start to heat up!
Zhang Shaojie smiled: "Aren't you a producer?" If I really don't shoot well and waste the film, I will lose money, so there is no big problem with changing the director in time and correcting the mistake! You must know that an investor who does not care about profits loses 2 million or 5 million 10 million, as long as he can earn word of mouth, it is okay! ”
Lose millions or tens of millions to earn word of mouth?
Only then did Gu Long feel what it meant to be wealthy!
Compared with Zhang Shaojie's spending, Gu Long's "big production" of millions of NT$ in Taiwan is really not on the table.
――――――――――
June 15th. Late.
The midnight test screening of "Modern Bodyguard" will not only have many senior fans come to watch the movie, but more importantly, some film and television personalities and media reporters will also come to the scene.
Zhang Shaojie, as an assistant director and screenwriter, got 10 movie tickets for free from Golden Harvest Company, and Anita Mui also had 2 movie tickets. Ten more movie tickets, naturally for friends and family.
Shaohuai and Zhang Yimou both got movie tickets.
Jin Yong was not interested in such a movie and did not ask for a movie ticket.
The rest of the movie tickets, Zhang Shaojie thought about it, and Hu Bo, Gu Long, and Ni Kuang all gave them
Yishu?
Zhang Xiaoxian?
Zhang Shaojie has a bit of a headache!
Never mind!
Unless Zhang Shaojie breaks off his friendship with Yishu and Zhang Xiaoxian, he will be exposed sooner or later.
So, Zhang Shaojie picked up the phone.
First, dial Yishu's phone.
"Sister Yishu, are you free at night?" Zhang Shaojie said.
"Hehe, what's the matter, you're a big man, ask a single beauty if she is free at night, is there any bad intention?" Yishu teased on the phone.
Zhang Shaojie was a little embarrassed and said, "I don't mean anything else." ”
Yishu said: "That is, there are really bad intentions." ”
Zhang Shaojie said: "No."
Yishu suddenly said: "It doesn't matter if you have. Am I a young woman anyway? The little girl can't be provoked casually, and if she does, she will be in trouble. Young woman."
"Sister Yishu, don't tease me."
"Alright, alright! I'm free at night, but what's going on? If it's a troublesome thing, don't bother, people have been a little troubled recently, and they don't want to be more annoyed."
"In this way, "Modern Bodyguard" premiered at midnight tonight. Xu Guanwen is the director, and I am the screenwriter. So, I have a lot of movie tickets. If you don't give it away, it's a waste. So, I thought of you," Zhang Shaojie said.
"I see. Xu Guanwen's movie is easy, and there shouldn't be any troubles. Okay, I'll go. ”
"Well, that's great! There are also two to send Gu Long and Ni Kuang. I hope you can help me bring them to them! Zhang Shaojie said with a smile.
Yishu smiled: "It turns out that you are uneasy and kind, give me a movie ticket, and then let me help you run errands, and give the other two to my brother and Gu Long!" ”
"What time can you come to my house to pick up your tickets?"
"It's only 8 a.m., so I'm guess I'll be able to come at 9 o'clock."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at home!"
"What, busy?"
"No, I still have a few movie tickets to give away!"
"Oh, no wonder you want me to pick up movie tickets and give them to Gu Long and Ni Kuang!"
Zhang Shaojie was a little embarrassed, but he was really busy today. After all, Zhang Xiaoxian's movie ticket needs to be sent by Zhang Shaojie in person.
I haven't seen Zhang Xiaoxian's little girl for a few days, Zhang Xiaoxian is very good at studying, and she can get the first place in school, but for the time being, Zhang Xiaoxian's writing talent has not yet burst out.
The younger brother Shaohuai had a great academic performance before the second year of high school. But. Recently, Shaohuai is also like a popular martial arts writer, after "Broken Void" serialized in "Martial Arts and History" gained a lot of popularity. also followed Zhang Shaojie's path, the physical books in Hong Kong were published by Yulang Company, and in Taiwan by Wansheng.
The only problem is that Shaohuai's remuneration is far inferior to Zhang Shaojie. Zhang Shaojie is in Yulang, and he can have a manuscript fee of 600,000 Hong Kong dollars for an episode, and he also has 500,000 Hong Kong dollars in Wansheng, Taiwan.
However, Yulang gave him HK$20,000 per episode and Wansheng gave him 10,000 per episode.
Shaohuai is now publishing an episode about every two months. On average, his monthly remuneration is more than HK$15,000. It is 15 times higher than the salary of ordinary office workers at the bottom of Hong Kong!
However, what Zhang Shaojie is worried about now is not the question of how much he earns, but if his younger brother Shaohuai's energy is completely occupied by writing, he delays his homework and will not be able to enter the university next year, which will inevitably be some regrets.
