Chapter 250: An Agreement is reached

However, despite this, he has a fatal weakness, that is, he does not dare to disobey the words of the investor, this investment heard that he let go of Zeng Xiaoxian, naturally very unhappy, after all, it is all investment, who does not want their investment to maximize the benefits, and Zeng Xiaoxian joined, then it will definitely be able to attract attention to the greatest extent, and the ratings will explode, and more than one investor is dissatisfied, more than half of the investors are very dissatisfied.

Many of them have already cooperated with Zhang Ji to keep a good record, but now they have serious doubts about Zhang Ji's way of looking at people, after all, even a blind person knows Zeng Xiaoxian's value, can't Zhang Ji see it?

Of course, Zhang Ji also has his own statement, that is, he has always said, keep improving, it takes a lot of money to maintain, so every money he has to spend on the blade, and suddenly those investors are angry, please Zeng Xiaoxian is not considered to spend money on the blade? Those investors have said that they want to withdraw their capital!

Of course, Zhang Ji also knew that it was mostly just words, but he didn't want to make the relationship with these investors too bad, after all, they were Zhang Ji's food and clothing parents, and they must not be offended.

In the end, Zhang Ji said that he wanted to increase Zeng Xiaoxian's salary, okay, give money, I have no money anyway.

After the last few investors negotiated, according to the proportion of capital contribution, they came out with the eight million, in short, they wanted to pull Zeng Xiaoxian back, and they had to make good use of him, as for whether it was another scolding, they didn't care, as long as Zhang Ji could make money, what else could he say!

So Zhang Ji and Yu Min came again, although they had just rejected Zeng Xiaoxian with some arrogance before, and now it seems a little embarrassing to come to Zeng Xiaoxian again, but as long as the money is in hand, how much is the face?

But the problem is that Zeng Xiaoxian has no schedule now, well, strictly speaking, it should be said that there is, but can Zhang Ji put down the shelf?

On the one hand, it is the frame and face that he has always insisted on, on the other hand, it is the money, future and ratings, I haven't thought about it for too long, Zhang Ji seems to know what to do. He is not the first hairy boy to step into society, and his interests are much more important in comparison.

"It's a bit of a tight schedule, but if you can attend the show, the crew can push your play back so you can finish filming again!" Zhang Ji opened his eyes and said.

Zhang Ji's approach was completely unexpected by Zeng Xiaoxian, but he didn't expect Zhang Ji to bow his head, in the end, Zhang is bearded, not a person who doesn't know how to be flexible.

Speaking of which, Zeng Xiaoxian actually admires Zhang Dabeard, after all, no matter how he shoots, but he can make at least tens of millions of dollars for investors in each play, and many directors nowadays can't even recover their costs, which is absolutely commendable now, this is not something that ordinary people can do, Zeng Xiaoxian thinks that if it weren't for the experience of his previous life, he wouldn't have been able to do it in the early years.

Of course, even if there is no historical memory now, Zeng Xiaoxian believes that he can do very well!

However, although Zhang Ji made a lot of concessions, Zeng Xiaoxian was actually not very willing to shoot in his heart, last time, it can be said that he was willing to try it because of Hu Yifei's relationship, but he was rejected. Zeng Xiaoxian also lost his mind, anyway, he had something to do, and he didn't have to take on the act.

Seeing that Zeng Xiaoxian was still noncommittal, Zhang Ji was anxious, he pulled down his face like this, why didn't he agree.

But Zhang Ji, who has always been in a strong position, has forgotten that there is not necessarily a return for paying, and it is not necessarily proportional to the return.

He was willing to recruit Zeng Xiaoxian in, but he didn't want to think about Zeng Xiaoxian's opinion, maybe he had been too smooth over the years, and he always thought that as long as he hooked his hands, others would rush over one after another.

"Zeng Xiaoxian, do you think there's anything else you want to add?" Zhang Ji has no choice, he can only directly hand over the initiative to Zeng Xiaoxian, and see what conditions he proposes, Zhang Ji is not such a calm person, but now "Chivalrous Love" is about to start filming in less than a month, he can't help but be in a hurry!

Until now, the protagonist has not been decided, which is relatively weird in his historical experience, although he seems to have been until the start of filming to reveal the choice of the protagonist, because it was impossible to stop it at that time, but in fact, he had already decided, not to say before that it was not because of anything else, just for hype.

Now it's really time to change the decision, this time it's really delayed for too long, just to rub shoulders with those investors, he wasted too much time, and he still has a lot of things to do!

Zeng Xiaoxian thought about it, he didn't care about the special treatment asked by many big-name celebrities or something, what he really cared about was that he didn't have much time, in fact, as he decided at the beginning, he was only ready to give himself a few years to fulfill his predecessor's wishes, that's all, but if he wanted to keep doing it himself, he felt that he would also collapse, and it was too much to be a star, if he really had a lifelong career, it was better to say now that his physical strength gradually declined after the age of thirty, and then it would really cost his life, let's do it, people are old and yellow, in the face of a group of young juniors, don't do it, what about the source of life, how many celebrities are still coming back for money after quitting the rivers and lakes, in fact, most of them are no matter how depressed they are when they are stars, one or two million always have to stay, the main thing is to be lavish habits, which are all long-term habits, and even when they enter the industry online, the brokerage company will lure artists to spend money lavishly, in order to achieve the purpose of controlling the artist's agency, and it will be too late when the artist finds out.

Zeng Xiaoxian himself is not short of money, his current money, even if he squanders it all his life, may not be able to squander it, and he is not a particularly lavish spender, so he doesn't value money.

What he lacks is time, so he has to make up for his lack of time in other aspects, and many times when filming, he will ask to concentrate his scenes for filming, which seems to affect him alone, in fact, the whole crew has to make way for him, cooperate with his time, and invisibly have to take him as the backbone, and the whole crew has to revolve around him.

In this case, ordinary directors and the like may be able to stand it, but will Zhang Ji, a producer with a super strong desire to control, agree to this? Where do you put the other actors in this way?

In fact, actor filming is the same thing, and the order of filming time is not controlled by the actor, but although there is no difference between those shots shooting early and shooting late, don't other actors have any ideas? Although the resources of the crew usually tend to those protagonists and big-name stars, supporting roles, especially small supporting roles, you may have to wait on the set for a day and can't wait for the play, but the protagonist can be taken off because there is no play, this is the difference.

Zeng Xiaoxian didn't have hypocrisy, he really took what he thought in his heart and mentioned it to Zhang Ji, and then sat quietly, you just watch, promise or not, just one sentence, promise, let's shoot, if you don't agree, let's break up, Zeng Xiaoxian's meaning is very single, in short, that's what it means!

Zhang Ji didn't expect Zeng Xiaoxian to put forward such a condition in the end, it seemed a little difficult to do, and he couldn't help but look at Yu Min, after all, he was a professional talent!

Yu Min thought about it, there is no problem with this from the perspective of filming, but I am afraid that other actors will have opinions, after all, this is too privileged, isn't it?

But isn't Zhang Ji doing anything to appease those actors, what kind of idle is he doing!

So Yu Min nodded, indicating that there were no technical difficulties, Yu Min replied affirmatively, Zhang Ji couldn't help nodding and replied: "Yes, it's all for filming!" Zhang Ji's reason is high-sounding.

"Okay, you can continue to negotiate with Sister Zhi, I won't send it!" Zeng Xiaoxian: This is an obvious send-off.

Zhishou said that he didn't talk about the remuneration, because Zeng Xiaoxian knew that the reason why they came over this time was to prepare enough salary, otherwise they would not negotiate with Zeng Xiaoxian again, and as for more details, let Cai Yinong be responsible. Zeng Xiaoxian didn't want to worry about this anymore.

"The Twilight Zone" was filmed in Portland, Orenet, St. Helens, Vilnovia, the Great Wall and other places in the United States, and this time the sequel was not filmed in these places, but in Vancouver, Italy and the town of Tuscany in Montpasseno, and in China, the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shi Huang were also added. This is what Zeng Xiaoxian did intentionally after writing, you must know that these are the pride of China, Zeng Xiaoxian is also invisibly promoting Chinese culture and values, this is what Zeng Xiaoxian has been doing, just like the previous Chinese kung fu incident, although Zeng Xiaoxian strongly denied that he knew kung fu, but he implicitly said that Chinese kung fu exists, and said that Chinese kung fu is very powerful, although he looks like a superman, in fact, he is not a fart among the kung fu masters.

Although Zeng Xiaoxian did not say it explicitly, he also had the intention of using this to elevate the status of Chinese kung fu, but everyone figured out this meaning after a little pondering.

And since the era of "Twilight", some Chinese actors have begun to participate in the filming, after all, Zeng Xiaoxian has written a lot of Chinese things in the book, which also involves a lot of Chinese characters, although they are insignificant compared to most of the characters, and the appearance time ranges from ten seconds to a few minutes, but at least these are part of the Chinese elements, and in "New Moon" there are even more.

Such Chinese elements can be seen everywhere, Zeng Xiaoxian deliberately increased the role of several Chinese characters, and because it is a Chinese role, he has to find Chinese actors to play, which can make many Chinese actors break their heads to grab, after all, this is an opportunity to show their faces in Hollywood, but not all movies can have the opportunity, and look at the box office of "Twilight", as long as you can participate, even if it is just a supporting role, you can also promote your worth to rise after the release, And the ratio of RMB to US dollars is close to eight times, even if you play a small supporting role, the salary you earn in the end will definitely not lose yourself, and even more than you earn by playing the leading role in China.

Many domestic people who are willing to further develop have come to the door with their connections, and Zeng Xiaoxian has been found the most often, after all, he is also Chinese.

It's relatively easy to talk, they are not familiar with Catherine, and depending on the situation, Zeng Xiaoxian, as one of the original authors, screenwriters, and leading actors, naturally has a huge influence, although they are just guessing, but they did guess correctly!

Zeng Xiaoxian's influence on Catherine is indeed very great, in fact, Zeng Xiaoxian rarely says anything, but as long as she speaks, Catherine will still be very group Zeng Xiaoxian's opinion, after all, Zeng Xiaoxian is still a screenwriter, and China naturally does not attach great importance to screenwriters, but abroad, the rights of screenwriters are very large, and they have a great impact on directors.

On the one hand, the circle has been complaining that there are no good scripts, but on the other hand, he doesn't pay much attention to screenwriters. But in China, it happened to be counterproductive, and the screenwriter wanted to help Zeng Zhouzhu's own script change beyond recognition, and the director said that how to change it is how to change it.

The main reason is that the rights of domestic directors are too big, covering all aspects, and producers like Zhang Ji are just an example after all.

At the same time, "New Moon" has finally started filming in anticipation.

After holding a grand press conference, "New Moon" is about to start filming, first of all, after the crew is reorganized, they will immediately fly to Vancouver, Canada for filming, and will shoot here for more than half a month according to the plan.

Canada is a country that gives Zeng Xiaoxian the feeling that it is cold, very cold, after all, the latitude is very far north. Especially the scene in "Farewell to Vancouver" a few years ago made Zeng Xiaoxian confirm this. Although I am a little unaccustomed to it, the good thing is that my body has always been relatively strong, and it doesn't matter if I am cold. And now it's still summer in the Northern Hemisphere, and it won't be cold.

After a few days of rest in Shanghai, Zeng Xiaoxian flew to New York to attend the press conference, which was much grander than the brief press conference held at the start of filming of "Twilight" last time.

After all, this is the second work of the "Twilight" series, and the attention it has received is far from being the first one that can be compared with the United States, in fact, it has always been not very optimistic about the filming of the sequel in China, and the so-called sequel curse is also coming from this, for example, the first part of "Journey to the West" can be regarded as very successful, but its sequel can only be regarded as unsatisfactory.

But it's different abroad, especially Hollywood, which likes such series, such as the "007" series in the previous life, and so on are quite successful series, and foreign audiences are not as resistant to sequels as domestic audiences, and they don't think that sequels must be worse than the first one, although most of the time it's true.
