Chapter 268: Courage

If life is only as it first sees, everything is beautiful.

It's a pity that life is a jogging with no end, and you or I are just a figure passing by him.

Maybe he'll turn his head to look at you, or he'll smile at me. But after all, it will be a roadside scenery, passing by, admiring, and buried in memory.

Zhang Tan may also remember that there was once a little girl who ran over panting and gave herself a fountain pen. I also used to confess myself through a letter without a stamp through a letter without a postage stamp. But most of the time, he looks up and forward.

By his side, there is already Susa holding hands, no matter how beautiful the roadside scenery is, why stop and stop?

Life is actually far less vigorous.

What is plain is real.

……

CCTV's "Art Life" gave Zhang Tan a wave of forced style, but it was just the icing on the cake.

Zhang Tan's career does not need any show and hype, and the copyright operation of Luzhou Studio is almost lying down to make money. If it was said that in the past, Luzhou Studio was needed to negotiate cooperation with some film and television companies, but now it is all others who take the initiative to ask for cooperation and break through the threshold.

With Zhang Tan's novels, they are becoming more and more popular, and the checks sent by others are becoming more and more exaggerated.

Li Yan, who came to Beiqi to negotiate business, calculated an account for Zhang Tan, and probably his total income in 2006 could exceed 100 million. In addition to the increase in royalties, there is also a share of profits from film and television production, and the studio is now not just selling copyrights, but has begun to cooperate with other companies to develop copyrights.

"My buddy is also a man worth hundreds of millions." Zhang Tan leaned back on the sofa with an unlit cigar in his mouth. Listen to Li Yan, the general manager of the studio, report on the work.

This cigar. It is said to be a world-class cigar from the Netherlands, but I don't know if it's real or fake. Yu Dong, the president of Bona Films, returned from a trip to Europe. brought Zhang Tan a box, a box of ten boxes, a box of ten sticks, one can smoke for a few hours.

Zhang Tan himself does not smoke, so he left a box at home, and sent the rest back to his hometown. His father Zhang Quanshun occasionally smokes, and his grandfather Zhang Henong also smokes one or two cigarettes every three to five days.

Basically, the good things that Zhang Tan received were all sent home by him, at this point. He is still very filial, and good things are given to his parents to enjoy first.

Because there are few personal friends in Beiya, not many people come to Zhang Tan's house as guests, Chen Li and a few other classmates come occasionally, but everyone is a good student and does not smoke.

The box of cigars left behind was left unattended.

Zhang Tan hadn't studied cigars, so he didn't know if this thing would be broken or expired, so he simply took it out and played with it. It hurts to bite into my mouth. Not to mention, biting the cigar and pretending to be forced, smelling the aroma of the cigar, the inspiration of the code word has increased greatly.

Now this one. It is already the third one he "draws".

Li Yan ignored Zhang Tan's appearance of pretending to be forced with a cigar in his mouth, and said: "You are probably the youngest, self-made man worth more than 100 million, a wealthy man born in the 80s, and next year's Forbes China Celebrity List." I'm not surprised that you're in the top three. ”

With Zhang Tan's money. Li Yan has now become a well-known manager with an annual income of one million, and the Luzhou studio is under her care. brought a lot of big contracts to Zhang Tan. After more than four years of experience, she has become an expert in copyright operation, and many large companies have tried to dig through the corners.

However, Li Yan was not moved, Zhang Tan is not a difficult boss, on the contrary, he is a very easy-going person with the people around him, and the salary for Li Yan is also high, and she is a local of Hexi, so there is no reason to change jobs.

Another important reason is that Li Yan knows Zhang Tan's talent and knows that the studio will transform into film and television production.

Zhang Tan has been working hard to learn how to be a director for the past two years, and when he completes his studies, with his talent, he will inevitably be a talented director. When the time comes, the ability to make money will go to a higher level, and she, Li Yan, will also have a moment to show her strength.

In fact, the studio is already looking to transform.

began to participate in the production of many film and television dramas.

"Ranking or something, to me is like a floating cloud, and making a fortune in a muffled voice is the king." Zhang Tan said indifferently.

Li Yan brushed her hair behind her ears and asked, "By the way, Tianyu Media has started the preparations for "Xiao Li Flying Knife" and is ready to invite you to be the producer, have you considered it?" ”

"Don't think about it, I'm not interested in TV drama production anymore. In the second half of this year, I will hurry up to complete the creation of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and start the film project next year. ”

"You are not involved in the four films of Sonic Pictures' "Four Famous Catchers", China Film Group's "Dragon Babu", Huayi Brothers' "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and Bona Films' "Xiao Li Flying Knife"?"

Zhang Tan shook his head: "I'm now in charge of reviewing the script, isn't this equivalent to participating, there is no need to hang up the position of producer or anything." Today, only Sister Li is here, let me tell you something from the heart, in fact, I don't have much expectations for the film adaptation. ”

"You don't have expectations for these movies?" Li Yan was surprised.

Now the major film and television companies, who doesn't have an eye on the copyright of Zhang Tan's novel, it is no different from watching Jinshan Gold Mine.

Zhang Tan himself was unexpectedly unsure.

There is really no bottom.

The reason why he has no bottom in his heart is that in his future memory, there are no good martial arts films pouring out, and these martial arts novels he wrote, and the movies he once adapted, don't seem to have made much success, and they are more shining in the field of TV dramas.

Originally, martial arts went downhill, and in the past few years, under his stimulation, it has only flourished like a return to glory, but in essence, martial arts films are not as attractive as in the last century. In Zhang Tan's memory, in his previous life, only one Tsui Hark was still supporting the banner of martial arts, and other directors abandoned martial arts films one after another.

The rest such as "Jin Yiwei", "Assassin Nie Yinniang", "Sword Rain", "Embroidered Spring Knife", and "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" all hit the street at the box office.

In the past two years, Tan-style martial arts copyright has been very popular, and as many as nine excellent martial arts novels have emerged within five years, bringing a wave of rhythm, and film and television companies are all invested in it, rushing to shoot, which will inevitably cause aesthetic fatigue. And then another wave of death.

Of course, Zhang Tan believes that there is a fan base for the novel. If you don't lose money, you just see how much you earn and how little you earn. How is the word of mouth.

If you just make money and your reputation is rotten, then it is also a failure for Zhang Tan.

As a man who pursues an artistic life and brushes up on high qualifications, he pursues a comprehensive sublimation of material and spirituality, he likes money, and he also likes to force qualifications, and it is a pity to give up either of these two aspects.

The previous movie "The Four Famous Catchers of Beijing". In fact, it is a shortcoming.

The reputation is not very high.

But after all, it is not Zhang Tan's dominance, and it has the meaning of training, and the requirements can be lowered.

The next few movies are difficult to say. Even if it is a box office success, but being scolded as a bad movie, Zhang Tan will not be happy either. For the domestic directors, Zhang Tan thinks he knows a lot.

It's better to stay away from this vortex of right and wrong.

In this way, it is someone else's pot that is filmed badly, and it is the credit of his original novel that is filmed well.

Both positive and negative have to be earned. Why bother with muddy feet.

Putting the cigar on the coffee table, Zhang Tan pondered for a moment and said, "Sister Li, don't you think my works have been too exposed in the past two years?" In fact, we are all impatient, and we should brew and precipitate for a few years. Slowly toss film and television adaptations. Now that such a swarm is flocking, it is difficult to say how much sincerity there can be in production, and the fifth-generation directors have been scolded miserably for making films. Not to mention other directors. ”

Li Yan replied: "With you at the helm of the script, there shouldn't be a bad movie, right?" ”

"I'm not omnipotent." Zhang Tan sighed. The end of pretending to be too much is that others have deified him. That's too much pressure.

Shaking his head, Zhang Tan said rationally: "Sister Li, I need to concentrate on writing "Smiling Proud Jianghu" in the second half of the year, and I will make a movie myself next year, so I really shouldn't be distracted." ”

In this way, Li Yan understood: "Also, fiction is the foundation of the foothold, and you should concentrate on it." ”

After talking about the work matter, Li Yan plans to go back.

Zhang Tan said: "It's not early today, I'll take Sister Li to eat some special snacks in Beiqi in the evening...... I looked at the time, it's half past four, just right, I'll go to the crew to pick up Susa back and go together. ”

Li Yan didn't refuse: "Okay, I haven't had a chance to chat with Sasha." ”

"Weiwei, you accompany Sister Li to chat here, I'm going to the crew." Zhang Tan confessed.

Instead of going to work, he doesn't often take his assistant with him.

……

After sending Li Yan away, the time entered August.

After four months of filming, "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" was officially completed at the Huairou Film and Television Base in Beiqi. Zhang Tan also participated in the finale banquet that night.

He and Susa sat at the main table.

For Zhang Tan's participation, everyone was surprised, after all, he was the author of the original work, and he also hung the name of the screenwriter.

"Zhang Dacai, let's go one." Zhang Dabeard sat on Zhang Tan's right hand, holding a cup, and he was in high spirits today.

Zhang Tan picked up the cup and drank the beer.

After a while, Zhang Dabeard took a cup to drink with Zhang Tan, and after drinking, he said: ""Heaven and Dragon Slayer" has been completed, and it will be in post-production for three months, and the broadcast may not be until the end of the year. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Tan nodded.

"In fact, it is the same at any time period, I have full confidence in this drama, in the past few years, we have collaborated together on "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which one is not popular in half of Asia, and "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" is the same. In the future, "Dragon Babu" and "Smiling Proud Jianghu" will also be the same. ”

"I hope so."

Zhang Dabeard tapped his fingers on the table and said, "It's not a wish, but a certainty, I haven't read any of your novels, and which one is not through the back of the paper." Let's just say that we are now starting to prepare "Dragon Babu", which is majestic, no novel can compare. I, Zhang Weishen, like to shoot such majestic works! ”

"Huh." Zhang Tan is also not easy to answer and brag.

Zhang Dabeard kept blowing: "That is, you didn't hand over the Four Famous Catches and Xiao Li Feidao to me to shoot, let others shoot, there is a small family spirit everywhere, how can you shoot a classic and restore the essence of the novel." ”

Zhang Tan was splashed with a spit on his face, and hurriedly interrupted with a cup: "Yes, in this part of the TV series, there are not many people who are so bold as Director Zhang, I salute you." ”

"!" Zhang Dabeard drank a full glass, and then saluted back, "In this part of the novel, there are not many people who have you Tan Zhang and courage, I will toast you again." (To be continued.) )
