Chapter 215: See Dong Zhou
In the morning, a ray of sunlight shone through the window.
Wang Yang immediately got up from the bed, he glanced at an alarm clock on the hotel table, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.
As soon as I washed my face and brushed my teeth, my phone rang.
"Chairman, the time that Chairman Zhou made an appointment with you is 8:40."
"Okay, I got it."
Today is April 3rd, and he personally came to Dong Chou with the script this time.
Dong Zhou is also a busy man now, so in order to save time, it is better for Wang Yang to persuade him personally.
Out of the hotel, his secretary Xiao Zhang had already prepared the car, came out and got in the car, and rushed to the door of the record company established by Chou Dong himself, which was already about half past eight.
Wang Yang looked at his watch and knew that it was not too late, so he got out of the car and walked in with Xiao Zhang.
The lady at the front desk saw the two of them coming in and asked politely, "Do you need any help from the two gentlemen?" ”
She didn't recognize Wang Yang, or she hadn't heard of it, after all, Wang Yang's fame in Taiwo was not too big, but more because his works were famous.
Taiwo here in a variety show or something, he hasn't starred in it yet, as for "Step by Step" Although it is a hit, after all, there are many people who still can't see it.
"We have an appointment with Chairman Chou, and it's at this point."
"You are Teacher Wang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please come with me."
Chou Dong's record company is very large, one floor and two floors, with its own various professional recording studios, professional equipment worth millions of dollars, and the decoration is also very good. Led by this front desk lady. He went upstairs with Xiao Zhang. Then he stopped in front of an office.
"Chairman, Mr. Wang is here." The front desk lady knocked on the door.
"Oh, come in." A very recognizable voice of Dong Chou came out of it.
After she pushed the door open, she saw Dong Chou sitting on the sofa, the TV was on, and he was watching TV with the remote control in his life.
After Wang Yang came in, he stood up with a smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello Teacher Wang." Please sit down, you're welcome. ”
"Okay, Dong Chou is really temperamental."
Dong Chou is very easy-going and well-known, but Wang Yang is the first time to feel that he treats people in a normal way, which is quite good.
Such a person actually doesn't pretend, Wang Yang doesn't know why someone would say that Dong Chou pretends?
The two sat down, and Dong Chou yawned and said, "I haven't woken up yet, I'm too busy with the concert this year, and I heard that Mr. Wang went to Japan to study." Just came back for this? ”
"I've been back for a long time, and I've been filming extreme challenges for the last month. I've only recently taken a break. ”
"Oh, Piggy isn't also at the limit, I heard that Mr. Wang, your show is quite interesting, but I really don't have time to watch it, I'll play less games another day, and see how Piggy's reality show is."
"The piggy is very cute in there."
"Well, the piggy is very fun."
"Dong Zhou, don't call Mr. Wang, just call me Wang Yang."
"It doesn't matter, we don't have the same industry, you're a great god writer, aren't you, I'm a singer, no, I remembered, you also write songs, right, you can sing, okay?"
"Hahe, I do write a little song, but Dong Chou, your talent for writing songs is better than mine, I don't PK with you."
"What kind of talent is not talented, I was rejected for writing songs for Ah Mei and Liu Tianwang!"
"Ha, that's nunchucks, weird music, I know."
"Well, let's not talk about this, Mr. Wang has brought the script, I'll take a look."
"Okay."
Wang Yang and Dong Chou chatted for such a long time before getting to the point, the movie version of "Slam Dunk" is "Slam Dunk" can be said to be Jay Chou's own movie, he saw the plot inside, the design of the shots, the funny scenes in it, and the actors' schedules.
Immediately, he glared and said, "It's pretty good, I think I can try it." ”
Wang Yang said with a smile: "Not only can Dong Chou play, we can also be directors together, but I will also play a role in Ding Wei." ”
"Oh, let's direct the starring role together? Not bad! ”
When Dong Chou heard this, he became even more interested, he clapped his hands and thought about it and said, "That's it, why do you say it, can I invest?" ”
"Of course, we can cooperate with the two companies to produce together, as for you, you can invest, or you can directly invest with the salary, in short, you can do whatever you want."
"Hey, yes, I like it."
Dong Chou really didn't expect Wang Yang to bring such a big surprise.
It's a tailor-made movie!
"That's okay, I think about it, I'll invest it according to the salary of 14 million, if you guys are poor, I'm adding."
"Okay."
Wang Yang came over this time with the contract, and after a brief look at it by a lawyer from Chairman Chou's side, he signed it without any problems.
Remuneration investment, that is, he does not have to pay 14 million remuneration to Dong Chou, and when the time comes, he can directly pay dividends to Dong Chou in proportion to the total investment.
Generally speaking, large film and television production companies will not come like this, but it doesn't matter if Wang Yang makes money from filming "Slam Dunk", the main thing is to make this IP popular.
Dong Chou's influence and fame in Asia are very great, "Slam Dunk" will have TV series, animation, animation in the future, and now it is a serial novel, an overall entertainment and cultural industry, Wang Yang has too many places to make money, and Dong Chou did not offer a particularly high price, according to his popularity this year, even if he offers a higher salary, it is reasonable.
However, Jay Chou did not increase his salary, and he was still given the salary of the golden A.
In this way, Wang Yang got the starring role of the movie, Jay Chou.
In the movie version of "Slam Dunk", Wang Yang played Ding Wei and replaced Chen Bolin, as for the remaining main actors, there are these-
Chen Li: Fang Shijie's coach is played by Zeng Zhiwei.
Lily: Cai Zhuoyan, that is, Ah S.
As for the rest of the characters. The main reason is that Jay Chou has invited a lot of cameo stars with his connections.
For example, Wu Zongxian. That is, the excavator of Chou Dong. There is a person who is the godfather of Taiwo variety show, but it's a pity that Dong Chou is now on his own, and I don't know what the relationship between the two is.
In addition to these, there are also celebrities such as Huang Bo, Yanni, Wu Mengda, etc., including Huang Jianxiang, who also made cameos in it.
Wang Yang pondered for a moment, he didn't have to spend so much effort to find the original people.
seems to be invited by the extreme challenge, and there are already cooperative partners: Huang Bo, Huang Lei, Sun Honglei, Luo Xiaozhu, Xiao Yixing, Wang Xun, Wang Baoqiang, Wang Gulan, Wang Dazhui, and the female stars I know Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, Tang Yan, Yang Liying, Xu Jingru. Male stars: Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dapseudo, the singer Wang Min I know, and the great god writer Xuezhu I know, these are all very well-known and influential figures.
He discussed it with Dong Chou, and Dong Chou could also invite: Wu Mengda, Zeng Zhiwei, Wu Zongxian, Ajiao, AS.
Then, through the people I know, I will introduce some more popular second-tier actors.
It can be said that after a careful search, Wang Yang and Dong Chou have a total of 26 specially invited guest stars, so to speak, except for some particularly big directors. It's not easy to bring so many people together in one movie.
There is no way!
One is a dazzling genius writer in the mainland. The founders of Xingchi Group's media rookies, they also need to deal with Wang Yang for a long time, and the most important thing is that Wang Yang is a good person.
As for Jay Chou, Taiwo, and even a genius singer in Asia, his own fan influence is here, plus he is also easy-going, and now he has become Jay Chou, so it is very easy to invite a few friends to make a cameo.
Therefore, the planning progress of the movie version of "Slam Dunk" is also very fast, after the actors are in place, the filming location of the movie is all in the scene designers trained by Xingchi Group itself, a self-raised film team, and quickly began to build a studio in Taiwo, or build a realistic scene.
Wang Yang was busy as a planning director this time, and all the actors went to visit in person, on the one hand, with sincerity, and on the other hand, it may also satisfy his own mentality of chasing stars and taking photos.
Today, after he went to see Huang Xiaoming, he received a call from Yan Le.
"Wang Yang, Dongsen Movie Channel has come to me to buy the copyright, bidding 20 million Taiwan dollars, you see?"
"20 million Taiwan dollars, the movies are still being filmed!"
"Yes, their condition is that after the movie is released, it will premiere exclusively, and the time is ten years."
"20 million Taiwan dollars, which is almost 5 million Chinese dollars, which is also very good."
"How?" Yan Le asked.
"Promised."
Wang Yang naturally agreed, but he didn't expect to receive a copyright fee of 5 million before the movie started, it seems that "Slam Dunk" is still favored by many TV stations.
In the next few days, other organizations came to the door one after another, such as the Taipower Association, which gave another 15 million Taiwan dollars as a tutoring fund for the movie, a kind of help that does not ask for anything in return, which is similar to interest-free.
Wang Yang was very emotional.
"The person in charge of BMW Huaxia called and said that if you give a three-second shot, you will give 10 million Chinese dollars, how about it?"
"Talking to them, it's just 1.5 seconds, three seconds is too long, the audience will not be able to stand it."
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
"Coca-Cola said that if you give a title logo for a competition, you will give 2 million Chinese dollars, and you only need to have a camera to sweep over."
"It's impossible, if the game is titled, there will be a lot of shots, talk to them, at least 10 million to start."
"Li Ning Clothing wants to name the clothing ......"
"Pepsi wants to ...... too"
"TM Video wants to be featured in interviews......"
Wang Yang suddenly discovered that "Slam Dunk" had not yet been planned, and his film had already received a total of 60 million advertising sponsorship fees.
I have to say that this film investment is simply too cost-effective.
The main actors did not spend too much salary, Dong Chou and Zeng Zhiwei's salaries for the two big names totaled 32 million, and the salaries of other second-tier actors added up to 12 million, as for the cameo stars, they are naturally free to star, a total of about 50 million, in terms of actor costs, that is, about 50 million, if you count the costumes and props, post-special effects, this movie may have an investment of about 120 million.
But the investment of 120 million yuan, before the start of filming, received half of the advertising fee, which is absolutely rare in many movies.
I don't blame Wang Yang, in this kind of movie, it is very normal to have advertising insertion, because even the audience, it is difficult for them to realize that they have been brainwashed by a lot of advertisements.
Let's just say that during the game, there is the Coca-Cola logo, which is common in many real games.
And the vehicles that appear in it, like BMW, are not seen in other movies?
It can only be said that everyone feels that they don't care, including those blockbusters in Hollywood, basically Audi, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and other vehicles often appear, and the shots are not ordinarily long.
For example, in the "Fast and Furious" series, can't the various cars in it be real vehicles in reality?
So, that's it.
It's just that after the 60 million advertising fee was passed out, it still caused a discussion in the industry.
There are also all kinds of scolding, and the reputation of "Slam Dunk" has begun to decline, for example, Dou Break, even if it is a movie that has not been released, it will be in it, and now there are many people who are maliciously abused.
These people are all people who are particularly unhappy to see Wang Yang or Dong Chou, and they are all people who are difficult to see others, so they are all very jealous, and naturally they all start to be black.
Wang Yang doesn't care about these details, everything will wait until the movie is released, let's talk about it.
……
……
"Dong Chou, your posture has changed slightly, yes, yes!"
In a very quaint house in Taiwo, Wang Yang and the crew of "Slam Dunk" are secretly conducting a 40-day special action scene in this movie.
"Slam Dunk" mainly relies on action scenes and a main plot of youth inspiration to attract people, and Jay Chou is an idol among the young group and a representative of the new generation.
Wang Yang is also a leader of the post-80s, he and Dong Chou are actually leaders in different fields, and they are both peers, so they are naturally very harmonious.
Filming movies is still no stranger to Dong Chou, there are a lot of talents of artists here in Taiwo, generally speaking, singers can act, and writers can make movies.
And people like Wang Yang are very common.
Overall, the filming progress of this movie is very fast, Wang Yang invited Mr. Yuan Hong, a professional martial arts director in Xiangjiang, so in many action scenes, in fact, Wang Yang is buttoning his mobile phone on the spot, and then taking a little photo of the crew, posting it on the Internet for hype and publicity, basically ensuring that everyone has a very strong sense of freshness and expectation before the movie is released.
