Chapter 230: Alternative Leisure and Entertainment

Originally, Wang Shang was still thinking about whether to take advantage of the zombie stream fire to shoot the famous American drama "The Walking Dead", but seeing so many people following the trend, he had to give up in the end.

But at this time, the phone in the office rang: "Boss, the rights to "The Lord of the Rings", "The Hobbit", and "Elf Diamond" were sold last night!! ”

"What ??!!" Wang Shangmeng stood up.

"Sold ??!"

"Yes, boss, sorry!!"

"What company?"

"It should be a few companies, I saw Warner, I saw Paramount......"

"Still won't??" Wang Shang finally calmed down, thought of the British writer J.K. Rowling and the "Harry Potter" series that he had been in contact with, and hurriedly asked: "How is the copyright of "Harry Potter" being negotiated now?" Are there any other studios approached? ”

"Harry Potter" in this time and space was obviously born later, and the sales of the novel are not as crazy as in the previous life, so there is still a certain possibility that Wang Shang wants to get the copyright of its film adaptation.

The other side replied: "The progress of Harry Potter is not satisfactory either, because we are Chinese, and J.K. Rowling is very skeptical that we Orientals can understand her work, even though the price we offer is already very high." ”

When Wang Shang heard this, he thought about it for a while and said, "In this way, you try to convince her that we will buy the movie, but we will cooperate with Hollywood studios." ”

The next day, the negotiator replied: "Rowling's willingness to sell the rights to the Harry Potter film is not strong. ”

Wang Shang had no choice but to give up temporarily.

It is estimated that there is no way for "Harry Potter" to get into his hands. At this time, Wang Shang remembered "Pirates of the Caribbean", and it seemed that this series had not yet come out of this time and space.

"Write it down first, and then shoot it when you go to the United States to buy film companies or recruit more foreign filmmakers!"

"It seems that we have to recruit some foreign screenwriters, and some domestic directors of the script can't play it. Fortunately, the fire of "Biochemical Apocalypse" and the successful example of Robert Downey Jr. have greatly increased the popularity of Tianwang Film and Television Company, and it has begun to attract some filmmakers and actors to apply. ”

Then Wang Shang began to think about other things: "Now the global box office of "Biochemical Mode" has begun to return one after another. According to the data calculated by the Ministry of Finance, the profit of "Biochemical Apocalypse" alone will reach 200 million US dollars, plus the sales of movie peripheral products in the later stage, it should also be able to get 100 million US dollars. ”

"When the funds are returned, we should be able to start acquiring those arrogant special effects companies."

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in!!"

The person who came in was the secretary Li Shuiyue: "Boss, at present, more than 20 domestic directors want to obtain the directing rights of "Biochemical Apocalypse 2" and "Fast and Furious 2", among which there are only five directors who agree to sign a film shooting cooperation agreement with Tianwang Film and Television Company. ”

After speaking, he handed a copy of the investigation document to Wang Shang: "The electronic version has been put into your shared file." ”

Wang Shang took the report: "I'll take a look first." ”

Wang Shang doesn't know why now, he has no passion for making movies at all, as if he has exhausted his previous passion.

Make a movie - make a movie - make a movie - make a movie...... Repeating it indefinitely, Wang Shang had already begun to become numb.

So in the nearly half a year since the filming of "Biochemical Apocalypse", Wang Shang himself has no film plan at all.

However, Wang Shang doesn't want to shoot, it doesn't mean that other directors don't want to shoot.

Look at "Fast and Furious" and "Biochemical Mode", which already have a very high reputation all over the world, if you can direct it, as long as the quality is passed, then the movie can definitely continue the "Fast and Furious 1" and "Biochemical Apocalypse 1" are big hits, and you can also take this fast bus to become famous in the world.

What's more, Wang Shang has never remade the movies he has made, whether it is "Love Apartment", "Death is Coming" or others. Therefore, other directors are like hungry wolves, and they have enthusiastically recommended themselves, hoping to get the directing rights of "Biochemical Apocalypse" and "Fast and Furious".

Tianwang Film and Television Company soon announced the film plan, and the scripts of "Biochemical Apocalypse" and "Fast and Furious" were basically completed, and the director was recruited. There are two conditions, the first is to be experienced; The second is to sign an agreement with Tianwang Film and Television Company, and it is necessary to shoot at least 5 movies for Tianwang Film and Television Company in the future.

Wang Shang has certain considerations for doing this, the first is that the popularity of domestic directors abroad is too low, in order to support Chinese films, Wang Shang hopes to enhance the popularity of Chinese directors.

Why can Hollywood movies have such a big market in China? It is because of the continuous bombardment of Hollywood movies that domestic fans slowly accept it. If you want Chinese movies to occupy the market in Hollywood, you must at least use a little more movies to impact and gradually reverse the concept of Hollywood fans.

Therefore, Wang Shang consciously wants to improve the popularity of Chinese actors and directors in the world, which is conducive to the further promotion of the film. However, Wang Shang is not a good person, and the director who got Wang Shang's script to shoot had to shoot a few movies for Tianwang Film and Television Company.

Wang Shang looked at the list in his hand, which basically included the current big Chinese film directors, Zhang Kaige, Chen Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Wong Kar-wai, To Qifeng, these are all big directors who have risen since the 70s and 80s last year.

In addition to these film directors, there are also several directors of TV series, including Zheng Long, who Wang Shang is familiar with.

Wang Shang took out two scripts from the drawer, namely "Biochemical Apocalypse 2 - Evolution" and "Fast and Furious 2", and handed them to the secretary. "The two scripts have been framed in detail, and you take them to the writing team and let them refine the details. As for the director, I'll think about it first. ”

"Okay!" Secretary Li Shuiyue took the script and retreated, but before she reached the door, she turned back again, "Boss, there is one more thing." ”

Wang Shang motioned to go down.

"That's right, there are currently more than a dozen film companies that have issued acting invitations to Xiaoha, I don't know what your opinion is??"

"It's all pushed, and all this kind of thing will be pushed in the future." Wang Shang pinched his temples, it hurt.

Since the fire of "Biochemical Apocalypse", Xiaoha's dog has become a big star, and every time Wang Shang takes it to some events such as premieres, meet-and-greets, etc., it will kill countless fans in seconds. 's embarrassing gesture will cause fans to cheer every time it appears.

In the Huaxia film market, the salary given to it has exceeded 600,000 yuan, which can be called against the sky. Countless film studios have flocked to it.

And after its owner of the South China Sea heard the news, he almost fainted: "If you come back in a circle like this, your value will skyrocket so much?" ”

The pet market has been stimulated by Xiaoha and has become popular, and many fans have been 'transformed' into dog lovers, and they have begun to go to the pet market to choose puppy pets.

Pugs have naturally become the first choice for pet dogs, and many pet merchants sell pugs to sell out of stock, and sales are extremely hot.

Haizhu City.

In May, the weather in the south starts to get hotter. This time, Wang Shang followed his parents to the south and temporarily settled in Haizhu City, accompanied by his secretary Li Shuiyue and Xiaoha.

This time, Wang Shang did not have any purpose for work, and only had a casual mentality.

Haizhu is the city with the largest ocean area, the most islands and the longest coastline in the Pearl River Delta, and is known as the "City of 100 Islands". With beautiful environment, mountains and rivers, land islands facing each other, and pleasant climate, it is the only city in the country that has been selected as one of the "Top 40 National Tourist Resorts" with its overall urban landscape. The living environment is first-class, and it has the titles of "happy city" and "romantic city".

Wang Shang's parents basically take Xiaoha out for activities every day, make friends, play, browse cultural customs, and have a lot of fun. The secretary Li Shuiyue is responsible for the bridge between the company and Wang Shang, and will sort out the affairs of the day for Wang Shang to approve every day.

And Wang Shang, after following his parents to a few places, began to enjoy his life.

And Wang Shang's own way of enjoying is to set up a stall......

Yes, setting up a stall, a very strange way of entertainment, this is an experience in the previous life when Wang Shang was still young......

Wang Shang really doesn't want to make movies anymore, and he is extremely aesthetically fatigued. Wang Shang had heard that great Hollywood directors would also have such negative emotions, and Wang Shang originally thought it was fake.

How can you get aesthetic fatigue when making movies?

Isn't it very rewarding to make a movie?

I didn't expect to encounter such a problem now.

"This means that I have reached their level...... Wang Shang said comfortably with the Ah Q Spiritual Victory Method.

Wang Shang's stall is a stall of mobile phone cases and mobile phone accessories, placed on the edge of a square with a relatively large number of people and a more mature business district. Every night, Wang Shang would come by on a small three-wheeler and set up one of the designated mobile stalls.

As for why no one recognizes Wang Shang, because the secretary Li Shuiyue is a makeup master and often mixes in the makeup team of the crew. Makeup is something that can really turn a pig into a big beauty, and a big beauty into a pig. And turning a man into another man is even easier.

As the sun goes down and the night falls, the heat of the day begins to fade in the evening, and it is refreshing and cool under the breeze.

The night lights in the square began to turn on, and the whole square became colorful. There are also more and more people coming, some dancing, some skating, some playing big badminton......

A whole bunch of various play items......

The music has already begun......

Wang Shang zhuangbility (pretending to be forced) dressed as a stall, stepped on a three-wheeled car, came to his place, and set up a stall. At this time, other clothing stalls, shoes and socks stalls, jewelry stalls, plush toy stalls, and fruit stalls ...... Various stalls have already come......

"Hello Huang Laoji, you're here......"

"Huang Lao Ji ......"

"The most well-known canned herbal tea in the country, haha!!"

As soon as Wang Shang came, he received a kind greeting from the stall owners around him. A few days ago, when Wang Shang came here, he said that his name was Huang Laoji, and at that time, there were a bunch of people who laughed as soon as the name came out.

Because of this name, coupled with Wang Shang's bold surname, he quickly integrated into this place.

"You're going to collect the story again today?? A story, a phone case...... You're making up for your death?? One of the stall owners asked.

Wang Shang replied with a smile: "It's okay, I like to listen to stories." ”。 (To be continued.) )
