Chapter 498: Distinctive Features......
"Someone is going to kill themselves by swallowing dung? The newcomer wants to popularize it, by the way, just now the crew prepared a piece of Xiang when filming, and it happened that Xiang was prepared a lot, and I was worried that there was no place to throw it, but I didn't expect to find the person I needed so quickly. "As soon as I heard someone say that they wanted to commit suicide by swallowing dung, a person who didn't think it was a big deal said happily.
"There was a person just now, who was from this crew, and there was a person in it who said that if Mr. Qi offered Zhou Xingzu a salary of more than 100,000 yuan, he would swallow feces and commit suicide, but the price that Mr. Qi offered to Zhou Xingzu was 3 million, not to mention, there was a share of the net profit of the movie box office!" Someone was very enthusiastic to explain.
"Three million? I heard it right, is Zhou Xingzu the same Zhou Xingzu? One exclaimed.
"It's that Zhou Xingzu, you see that he will be surrounded by a bunch of people, the person in front of him is Qi Ming, he is the big boss of Chinese film and television, yes, the contract is clearly written, there will be no fake." A person looked at Zhou Xingzu with envy on his face and said.
"Chinese film and television? Is that the one who wrote several martial arts books? I'm a big deal, I'm a fan of his books. Hearing that Qi Ming was here, a martial arts fan said in surprise.
"I'm also a fan of martial arts, and I just bought a martial arts newspaper yesterday!" A martial arts fan spoke.
"Don't take the topic off the page, wait to see how you kill yourself by swallowing dung." Someone pulled the topic back.
The discussion of the surrounding people was very loud, which indirectly attracted more people from the neighborhood to come and watch.
Some of the people in charge of the crew of "Deadly Detective" saw that things were a little big, and they were a little panicked.
"What are you talking about? It's just a contract, as long as you want to change it, it's not a matter of minutes? Mr. Qi, the artist you are looking for now has been found, what are you still doing here? Don't forget, this is where we come to be! A screenwriter of the crew of "Deadly Detective" said.
"A group of people who have never seen the market, and several of our crew are paid three million! In addition, the three million that our crew gave to the actors is real, who knows if the three million in Zhou Xingzu's hands is real? And that 10% box office share, is it okay for anyone with a brain to know that this is fake? can get this share, the lowest is also a first-line artist, do you think Zhou Xingzu has this strength? Chen Zhongxiang, assistant director of "Deadly Detective", said.
"Mr. Qi, there is nothing to socialize with each other, but our crew does not welcome a broad boss like you, please leave, besides, I will leave here, do you think that raising the salary in public today is a slap in the face to us, right? If you think so, then you are wrong, this Zhou Xingzu, 10,000 yuan is not worth it, a trickster was pulled by you to play the starring role, I really want to see what kind of good movie you made, don't have a total box office of three million at that time, then it will really be laughing to death! Ma Kunming, the chief director of "Deadly Detective", said.
Qi Ming smiled when he heard this, and then said, "I don't bother with Director Ma about this, anyway, the box office of my movie is definitely higher than yours!" ”
After speaking, Qi Ming waved his hand to Xu Qing, and then said to Zhou Xingzu, "Mr. Zhou, Miss Zhu, we will discuss the specific matters separately and in detail." ”
Zhou Xingzu, who was still in a daze, and Zhu Di, who was already flushed with surprise on his face, immediately came to his senses, and then left with Qi Ming.
"By the way, before leaving, I have to say a word to the person who said that he committed suicide by swallowing dung, a manly man, you must not be a word when you speak."
Then, Qi Ming took a group of people out of the Fenghua Film and Television Base.
After Qi Ming left, there were still a lot of people gathered near the crew of "Deadly Detective", and some of them were news reporters who came to Fenghua Film and Television to find materials.
Qi Ming bluntly said that the box office of the new movie will surpass "Deadly Detective"! This is tomorrow's title! A journalist said.
"There is also spring in the tricks, Zhou Xingzu was added to the new Chinese film and television film and television with a salary of 3 million plus a share of the movie box office! Here's the title. A reporter said to his assistant.
"The name of the new movie under Chinese Film and Television is "Journey to the West", and it should be able to gain a lot of attention if this material is exposed!" Another news media worker began to instruct his assistants to do their work.
"The gambling contract between Ma Kunming, the director of the crew of "Deadly Detective", and Qi Ming."
"Boss, this is not there!"
"You stupid, what do we news media do? It is necessary to say that there is no and some say that there is nothing, otherwise how can we get attention, besides, didn't you hear what Qi Ming and Ma Kunming said? One said that the box office of Qi Ming's new movie was only three million, and the other said that no matter how bad his movie was, it was better than "Killer", isn't this a gamble? ”
"The boss is wise, but what is the gambling contract?"
"You are stupid, didn't you hear Qi Ming say when he was leaving, a manly husband should dare to be bold? Isn't this just about swallowing dung and committing suicide? So you get the idea! ”
"Okay, the title is "Journey to the West" VS "Killer", and the box office is low and he committed suicide by swallowing dung!"
"Yes, it looks like you'll be able to get through your internship soon!" Not far from the crew of "Deadly Detective", two news media workers were discussing with each other.
Ma Kunming and Chen Zhongxiang couldn't stop the material that the surrounding news media wanted to report, and they also knew that the news media wanted to blow and blow vigorously.
So as soon as they discussed, they directly pulled a few news media to the crew of "Deadly Detective", and then got good cigarettes and alcohol, and appropriately "revealed" some of the filming process of "Deadly Detective", and also hacked Qi Ming and others who had just left.
As for the person who said that he committed suicide by swallowing feces at the beginning, he was hiding on the set of the crew of "Death Detective" at this time, and while working, he looked around nervously, for fear that suddenly someone next to him would throw a piece of Xiang in his face.
"I'll never say anything more about pretending to be coercive in the future, I want to cry when I'm pretending!" This person is very broken in his heart.
……
After Qi Ming and the others left the Fenghua Film and Television Base, Zhou Xingzu and Zhu Yu rushed home to clean up, and then followed Qi Ming to Huatong City.
On the way to Huihuatong City, Qi Ming talked to Zhou Xingzu and Zhu Di about the details of the contract.
After the two parties did not make sense, a contract was signed.
From getting the contract to signing the contract, Zhou Xingzu immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, because the moment he signed the contract, he knew that his career was finally coming to an end.
And Zhu Yu was also happy to pull Zhou Xingzu and say that Zhou Xingzu was his lucky star.
Qi Ming watched the relationship between Zhou Xingzu and Zhu Yi grow by leaps and bounds, and he didn't know why he felt very happy, although Zhou Xingzu was not that Xingzu, and Zhu Yu was not that Zhu Yin, but Qi Ming, as a brain-dead fan who once watched the star master he liked was in his fifties and still single, he still liked this scene in front of him.
And if the relationship between Zhou Xingzu and Zhu Di is good, the essence of "Journey to the West" can be brought into play to a greater extent, and Qi Ming will not interfere in the affairs between them, as for what these two people will develop into in the end, Qi Ming does not force it.
A day later, Qi Ming and the others returned to Huatong City.
Then the crew of "Journey to the West" was established.
Xu Qing is the chief director, and Qi Ming is the screenwriter and producer.
The assistant director is a middle-aged man who has worked with Xu Qing, and Qi Ming doesn't want to explore who it is.
Because the actors have not been fully determined, and Xu Qing has not read the script of "Journey to the West", the investment in "Journey to the West" is still unknown for the time being.
Soon another two days passed, and in these two days, Xu Qing contacted a group of artists according to Qi Ming's request.
However, looking at this group of artists with different appearances and styles, Xu Qing was a little speechless for a while, because it was the first time and the first time he had seen so many gatherings of artists who were different in appearance and personality since he became a director.
In his previous directorial career, he also used artists with a little personality, but very few, generally there are only one or two films in a film, and at most, there will be no more than four, and the same is true for other films.
Even if it's a comedy, there aren't many artists with very clear characteristics.
But now he hasn't read the script of "Journey to the West", but he has recruited more than a dozen artists with extremely distinctive characteristics at once, which makes Xu Qing full of unprecedented curiosity about the movie he wants to shoot.
He didn't understand what kind of movie could use so many artists with distinctive characteristics.
The crew of "Journey to the West" began to be established, the film began to be submitted for the record, and all kinds of things are progressing in an orderly manner.
Finally, a few days later, the entire crew is basically in place, and on the whole, there is one of the leading actors who plays the second master.
According to Qi Ming's meaning, Xu Qing and some artists began to recommend themselves to meet the artists who have recently been described.
However, the artists recommended by these people are not suitable in Qi Ming's opinion.
And after Zhou Xingzu learned about this, he strongly recommended his friend Wu Mengda, who he thought he had forgotten his friends for the year.
After reading Wu Mengda's information, Qi Ming really felt that the world was so small, Zhou Xingzu and Wu Mengda in this world were so similar to the two in the world in their previous lives.
Wu Mengda in Zhou Xingzu's mouth is an actor who was originally very famous, and as soon as he debuted, he took over the filming of the second male protagonist of a large-scale chivalrous drama, and since then he has become popular.
After becoming popular, Wu Mengda began to be a little fluttery, drunk and dreaming all day long, and made a group of fox friends and dog friends.
So immediately after that, Wu Mengda's acting career stopped, and he didn't make any more progress, and he still owed a lot of debts.
In the end, although Wu Mengda was sober, it was too late, and many crews were not looking for Wu Mengda to film, and Wu Mengda has since become a trickster who takes on any scene, so he and Zhou Xingzu got to know each other, and the two of them often communicate with each other about acting skills and recommend jobs to each other.
Wu Mengda's experience can be said to be almost the same as the most bullish green leaf that Qi Ming knew in his previous life, so Qi Ming did not hesitate to finalize this person.
……
The crew of "Journey to the West" is progressing in an orderly manner, and the gambling contract between Qi Ming and Yu Wenxiang is also approaching the time when the winner will be finally separated.
From the beginning of the month to the end of the month, the physical sales of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" have been on the same level as "Ming Long".
The first issue of the sales list came out, and the two books were in equal ranks.
The second time the list came out, "Minglong" narrowly won.
The third time the list came out, "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" narrowly won.
Now, many readers of "Yitian" and "Minglong" are waiting for the fourth list refresh.
However, while waiting, a new book has entered the attention of countless literature lovers, and this book is "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang".
The Qixia newspaper that serialized "The Sword of the Third Young Master" did several issues of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" after the end of "The Sword of the Third Young Master", and then began to serialize the first issue of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" on February 20.
The publicity of Qixia Publishing House is not large, and it can even be said to be very small, so when "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" was sold in the first issue of Qixia Newspaper, it did not have any too amazing performance.
However, the next day, "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" suddenly began to exert force, and as soon as it exerted its strength, it was out of control.
The main reason for this incident originated from a post made by a netizen in the literary forum section of "White Horse Whistling West Wind".
"White Horse Whistling West Wind", after it was serialized in Penguin Live from the beginning, it has attracted much attention.
Since the first day of the live broadcast, for a week, basically the number of people who watch the live broadcast and write "White Horse Howling West Wind" is more than 10 million every time.
After the original "White Horse Howling West Wind" ended, it began to be serialized in martial arts newspapers and magazines.
Although the penguin live broadcast has covered many people and made tens of millions of people watch "White Horse Howling West Wind", but after all, it was a live broadcast, and there was no text version at all, so after the current issue of the martial arts newspaper serialized "White Horse Whistling West Wind" was released, the sales of real questions have once again increased to a higher level.
The highest sales volume reached 5.7 million copies, exceeding the current sales of 5.6 million copies of the newspaper.
Because of the serialization in martial arts newspapers and magazines, the readership of "White Horse Howling West Wind" has rapidly expanded, and the number of followers of the "White Horse Whistling West Wind" forum has also increased by more than 400,000 overnight, and the total number of followers has reached more than 1.2 million.
The number of followers in the short story literature section will not exceed one million years after the end of many related literary sections, but "White Horse Howling West Wind" has broken one million in a short period of time, and the influence of "White Horse Whistling West Wind" can be seen.
On the 20th of February, the "White Horse Whistling West Wind" serialized in the martial arts newspaper ended.
Many fans of "White Horse" express their emotions in the "White Horse" section.
One of the most conspicuous posts is the words in "White Horse Whistling West Wind" that move you, and the reason why "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" quietly became popular also started from this post.
"After reading the serialized version of "White Horse Howling West Wind", I can't calm down in my heart for a long time, let's talk about the unforgettable words in "White Horse"!"
"I'll start with the first sentence: those are very good, but I don't like them!" (To be continued.) )
