Chapter 023: The Protagonist Hung Up at the Beginning (Ask for Recommendation)

In August, after more than three months, Wang Shang finally got out of the customs.

There is also a thick script in his hand.

This script is very detailed and has poured countless efforts into Wang Shang. In the past three months, Wang Shang has continued to find various historical facts about the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, constantly screened and corrected, and the sentences and lines have been constantly refined, and finally the script of "Step by Step Shocking" has been completed.

Wang Shang believes that this drama will be a script that is not inferior to "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and it also has an additional 'crossing' gimmick, which I believe will be more pleasing to the audience.

Another time and space, "Step by Step" is based on the novel of the same name, but Wang is not ready to write the novel version of "Step by Step", because Wang is not good at writing novels.

Wang Shang took the script non-stop to the association's certification center for copyright certification, and then took the script to Datang International.

With a pleasant experience with Datang International Cooperation, Wang Shang naturally gave priority to Datang International as the priority producer of "Step by Step".

For Wang Shang's arrival this time, Datang International attaches great importance to it.

When Wang Shang came to the Datang International Building, the burly and strong chairman Tang Zongshi was already waiting there, and when he saw Wang Shang coming, he immediately came over and shook hands, full of enthusiasm: "I heard that the screenwriter Wang has been in retreat for three months, and today's exit must be a great increase in skill, and another peerless swordsmanship has been released." ”

When Wang Shang heard this, his face seemed to be constipated: "Skill has increased greatly? Swordsmanship? Cheap law? I didn't ...... It's not that powerful......"

Look at the speechless appearance of his subordinates......

I have heard that the behavior of the chairman of Datang International is a little off-line, but now I have seen it. However, Wang Shangke didn't mean to despise it at all, and could only sigh that every genius will have various shortcomings or habits.

Wang Shang was directly pulled to his chairman's office by Chairman Tang, and the editor-in-chief of the editorial department and Lin Hua, an acquaintance of Wang Shang, also came to be responsible for the review and rating of the script.

As soon as Wang Shang took out the script, he was snatched by Tang Zongshi, that monkey was in a hurry, and he didn't care about his consciousness as the chairman of the 10 billion asset group.

"Step by step?"

As the chairman of the film and television group, Tang Zongshi also has a certain ability to read and appreciate scripts, and quickly turned the first page to read it.

"Zhang Xiao? Office? Modern drama? At this time, Tang Zongshi raised his head and looked at Wang Shang in surprise, "Didn't you write a costume ** drama?" How is it a modern drama? Got the wrong script? ”

He also knew a little bit about Wang Shang's retreat to write the script of the Qing Palace, so he couldn't help but be surprised at this time.

The editor-in-chief and Lin Hua were also very surprised when they heard what the chairman said, "Isn't it a Qing palace drama?" ”。

Wang Shang responded with a smile: "You keep watching......"

Tang Zongshi continued to read, turned to the second page, and saw that the protagonist was dead at the beginning.

“…… Is the protagonist dead? What's the situation? Tang Zongshi was extremely puzzled, but he also believed that Wang Shang's strength would not write a bad script, so he patiently continued to read it.

After watching the next scene of the script, he finally saw the mystery!

"Wonderful!! Wonderful!! Tang Zongshi was so excited that he was amazed by the shooting, and sighed again and again: "Crossing!" This plot is simply amazing!! ”

"Crossing? What is it? When the editor-in-chief and Lin Hua heard this, their hearts were itching like a cat's claw scratching their hearts, and they roared in their hearts: "Chairman, don't be naughty, hurry up and show me!" ”

Wang Shang was proud in his heart: "I knew that you would react like this!" No matter how awesome you are, in my specialty, you are all scum. ”

But soon Wang Shang put away his sky-high tail and pretended to be calm.

Three hours later, the director of the marketing department of Datang International rushed back from outside in embarrassment and was called into the chairman's office to discuss the price of the script......

Soon, Wang Shang and Datang International finalized a cooperation agreement.

In view of the popularity of Wang Shang's "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and this "Step by Step Shocking" is too novel, the quality is not much worse than that of Zhen Huan.

And the gimmick of "Step by Step" - 'crossing' is even more earth-shattering, just look at Tang Zongshi, the editor-in-chief, the first-level editor Lin Hua, and the marketing director's stunned demeanor.

As soon as the 'crossing' came out, it was invincible!

So this time, Datang International generously gave Wang Shang a 6% profit share. In addition, Wang Shang also put forward the requirement to invest 5 million, participate in the shares, and share 4% of the income, and at the same time join the crew without charge.

Tang Zongshi didn't even think about agreeing directly, the more the interests of this world are entangled, the more they can be shared, the money is endless, and eating alone will not end well in the end.

The whole drama is expected to invest 80 million, and all kinds of props will use the best and most refined configurations, and the stars will also choose the most suitable ones, and try to get closer to the big stars.

Wang Shang's investment of 5 million is not much, and the script only has a 10% income share.

The two sides cooperated happily, and after the agreement was signed, Tang Zongshi took out a bottle of red wine from his office cabinet, and said with a smile: "This bottle is a good product that I have hidden for two years and is reluctant to drink, and today I got a good script, I am happy, the wine goes well with the script!" ”

At this time, Tang Zongshi's beautiful secretary knocked on the door and came in, holding five red wine glasses in her hands. Wang Shang had to look at the delicate heart of this beautiful secretary, and he was able to guess the chairman's mind and react in time.

Wang Shang had to sigh that all walks of life have their top talents.

"In addition to the script, I have to congratulate Mr. Wang here, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" can be said to have set off a sales boom on the Internet during this time, and three months have passed so far, 1.3 billion yuan has been sold, and it is moving forward at a strong speed."

Wang Shang hurriedly humbled himself: "Tongxi!" Rejoice! ”

Jiang Shan, editor-in-chief of Datang International, also joked: "At this rate, it should be no problem to surpass the 1.683 billion in "The Rule of Zhenguan", and Mr. Wang will definitely gain fame and fortune." Mr. Wang will have a treat, otherwise we won't do it......"

Wang Shang hurriedly responded modestly: "Although the total online video sales of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" are expected to surpass the terrifying total sales created by "The Rule of Zhenguan", in terms of influence, it is still a little worse. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Zongshi was touched: "After all, the pattern of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is too small, it is just a TV series that competes for favor, and it is not half a star worse than "Zhenguan Zhizhi" in terms of quantity. Even if the total sales exceed the number one of "The Reign of Sadakan", it still can't make others think that it will surpass the influence of "The Reign of Sadakan". "Step by Step" is the same, it is more than a step worse in terms of congenitality. ”

"But Mr. Wang is still young, and there are still many opportunities in the future!"

For this, everyone present deeply agreed, and everyone was amazed at Wang Shang's youth and maturity for being able to talk and laugh freely in front of his own people, without showing any timidity.

In Datang International, many people are generally trembling in front of Chairman Tang Zongshi, and they can't even speak well. Don't look at him usually off the line, but the momentum is very fierce, and ordinary people can't stand it.

Marketing Director Zhong Ming hurriedly interjected at this time: "If you don't talk about this, it's far away." ”

Only then did everyone realize that it was indeed and hurriedly toasted each other.

Between the staggered discussions, Wang Shang asked: "Tang Dong, I don't know if you have any thoughts on the selection of directors?" ”

Tang Zongshi thought for a while and said: "It may be a little difficult now, Director Zheng Long was originally suitable for directing this drama, and he also has the friendship of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", but unfortunately he has already taken over another modern romantic comedy, called "Super Daughter-in-law Era", and he has invested a lot, so he can't withdraw now." ”

"And in June, that is, during the period of your retreat, Blue Ocean Film and Television Group released a huge plan, planning to invest in an ancient dynasty drama "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" with a huge background this year, claiming to invest 150 million, big scenes, big money, and adhere to a gorgeous, atmospheric, and exquisite style."

"Blue Ocean Group even threatened to target the epic drama "The Rule of Zhenguan", declaring that it must be defeated in all aspects and achieve a new epic myth!!"

"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?" Wang Shang has also heard of it, and he has paid special attention to it.

As soon as this investment plan appeared, it caused a huge sensation in the society, and its gimmick was very big: the funds were huge, the scene was big, and it was even more powerful than "The Rule of Zhenguan", and there was also news that 100,000 army soldiers would be invited to star in the blood, creating a real war scene that made people's blood boil.

Speaking of which, I have to say that the entertainment industry in this time and space in China is much more free than another time and space, and the military, helicopters, fighter jets, etc. can participate in TV series and movie shooting, although the appearance fee is more expensive. In the previous time and space, don't even think about such a thing as a fighter jet, unless it is a TV series with a special political mission.

It's a pity that no director has yet made a movie to 'bombard' China's 'White * Palace', if it can really be like this, it will be a monument in the history of Chinese film.

In the past, Wang Shang was itchy when he thought of the feat of 'bombing the White * Palace', and he very much wanted to ravage the White * Palace back and forth like an American Hollywood movie when making movies in the future, a hundred times, that feeling is absolutely cool and crooked!!

Tang Zongshi naturally didn't know what Wang Shang was thinking in his heart, and still continued: "At that time, as soon as the filming plan of "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" appeared, it attracted countless outstanding directors in China, and almost all the good directors who were good at costume dramas went. ”

Wang Shang understands that no one can refuse this extreme temptation of fame and fortune, and now there is a good opportunity, these directors are not surging away? Even Wang Shang was a little eager to try, let alone others.

"But don't worry, there will always be people who will quit, and our Datang International will definitely vigorously pull the people in the picture over. And the script of "Step by Step" is so good that it will definitely attract them. Zhong Ming, marketing director, comforted.
