Chapter 36: The Troubled Boy Series

Zhang Heng stayed at the Yanjing Hotel for one night, and when he woke up the next morning, he logged on to the hotel network and entered the website of KK Music Network. As soon as he entered, Zhang Heng saw that on the front page of the website, a poster with a white dream blue portrait was unscrupulously occupying the audience's attention. At the end of the poster, a line of color subtitles flashed loudly.

"Zhang Heng personally composed the song "Can I Hold You", which shocked the debut!"

Looking at the new song sales list again, "Can I Hold You" topped the list in only eight hours, with a total sales of 88,538 times, which is undoubtedly gratifying, and it is even hotter than Zhang Heng's release of "Impulsive Punishment"; The third place is "Don't Love Early", which has been on the list for two weeks and has a total sales of 14,984 times, and is the title song of a newly released album by a five-star singer named You Hongyi, that is, the singer who posted a blog to satirize Zhang Heng's low character and corruption after Zhang Heng angrily beat the reporter.

At the top of the new song sales list, it is the new song "Friendship Song" by the nine-star singer Zhang Xueyou, relying on the popularity and fierce singing skills of the god of songs, since Zhang Heng's four songs against the sky were off the list, it has long occupied the first place in the new song sales list of KK Music Network, this week is already the fourth week, and it is about to be off the list, with a total sales of 162,165 times.

Zhang Heng's account has a 100 yuan trial coupon given by Jian Hongyan, who is responsible for editing, and he consumes all the top three to listen to it, and for the voice made by Hongyi, the singer of "Don't Love Early", he just listened to it for a while, and then frowned and turned it off.

Then I listened to "Can I Hold You" twice, and the rich and steady timbre made Zhang Heng show a satisfied look on his face.

Just like the American female singer Whitney Houston, Bai Menglan's voice has a metallic sheen and a wide vocal range. Whether it is a fast song, a slow song, a soft song or a powerful song, Bai Menglan sings effortlessly, and is an all-round singer, which is why Zhang Heng finally decided to let Bai Menglan sing this song.

Finally, listening to the song at the top of the list, Zhang Xueyou's familiar Cantonese accent made Zhang Heng feel slightly, and he cycled it several times in a row, and the familiar bloody tune of "Friendship Song" made Zhang Heng remember the youthful arrogance of his youth in his previous life.

He suddenly remembered the song "Friendship Years", his expression was thoughtful, and after thinking about it, the tone of "Friendship Years" and this "Friendship Song" is somewhat similar.

In order to pay tribute to the blood in his heart, after closing the preview page, he sat in front of the computer chair, humming the tune of "Friendship Years", and then opened the background music editor of KK Music Network, and slowly entered the brief score of "Friendship Years".

An hour later, Zhang Heng stopped moving, reviewed it, corrected it, and then clicked play, listening to the familiar tone, Zhang Heng's heart was full of emotion.

Closing his eyes slightly, he hummed softly along with the tune: "The vanishing time is scattered in the wind, as if I can't think of facing it again, and you are accompanying ...... wandering days."

In the middle of the night, the song ended, Zhang Heng was slightly in a daze, he remembered the old troubled boy series that was popular in Xiangjiang to the limit in his previous life, the passionate pictures, and the scenes of brotherhood and suffering.

Zhang Heng pondered, he hasn't heard much of these movies of the old boys in this life, and the actor Zheng Yinjian is a zài, just like his previous life, he is handsome and fit, but according to the information, in this life, he is just a second-level actor like a trick.

Zhang Heng suddenly felt happy in his heart.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, is it possible to make a set of Crazy Boy series of movies?

That's a pretty good selling point!

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Heng hurriedly looked up videos on the Internet about the old boy, and as time passed, Zhang Heng slapped his thigh, and his face was happy.

The Crazy Boy series of this life has already emerged in 1994, adapted from Japanese comics, such as "The King of Crazy Boys", "Mixed in the Rivers and Lakes" and other films, but obviously the results are not good, so the bloody battle between the dark forces of Xiangjiang is like a child's play!

This is not the director's intention, it is rumored that at the beginning of filming, the crew went through hardships, and encountered the strong intervention of the underworld gangsters in Xiangjiang who wanted to wash their white, and they were entangled several times and almost died.

Originally, the comics were not tortuous and bizarre, the results were mediocre, I only knew that I would blindly fight and kill, straightforward and nutritious, and then after the deliberate whitewashing of the underworld, it was even more dull, and finally made the old boy plausible, and there was no charlatan at all.

The scene of the passionate blood in the rivers and lakes, the incense sacrifice and kowtowing, worshiping the son and recognizing the eldest brother, and the bloody battle of the brothers together did not come out at all, it looked like a bland narrative record, which made many directors sad.

Zhang Heng showed a thoughtful look.

Huaxia's policy on supporting entertainment is very lenient, and a film classification system has been implemented, and there are restrictions on some dark movies that are not suitable for children and teenagers to watch.

But unfortunately, external factors are irresistible, the darkness of the entertainment industry is not uncommon even in Hollywood, and the Huaxia Xiangjiang generation is a model of the Chinese entertainment industry.

Therefore, if the Xiangjiang Crazy Boy series is darkened, then it will inevitably suffer from the interference of some dark forces.

To shoot or not to shoot?

Zhang Heng is a little embarrassed, the cost of making the Crazy Boy series is very low, it is simply the movie version of "Never Expected", which is very suitable for him to shoot today, although the media touted him as a billionaire, but only he knows that the 60 million income of "Never Expected" has not yet been recorded, and even if it is recorded, tens of millions of funds will not be able to shoot any big production.

And 11 million of the electronic copyright income of the four songs has gone into the pocket, of which 2 million is ready to be returned to Guo Yongchang's uncle and parents, so there are only 9 million left.

If he buys some more residential properties, the funds of 9 million will not be enough for his expenses.

The housing prices in Yanhai are scary!

The income from good records is basically not counted, and Zhang Heng estimates that he won't get a penny for the income from the copyright of "Can I Hold You" and "To Youth". After all, Bai Menglan's record has not yet been released, and the first song has just been released on the Internet.

On the online novel, although Zhang Heng is serializing "Breaking the Sky" every day and keeps a manuscript, even if the manuscript fee has an income of more than one million, it is obvious that he does not have the ability to withdraw it in advance, after all, the manuscript fee is sent every other month.

So that creates an impasse.

In the past few days, the script creation fee from "Let's Get Married" in his hand is about to arrive 15 million, with an average of 300,000 per episode, which is already very high. Although in South Korea, some veteran screenwriters can reach 600,000 yuan in a single episode, Zhang Heng is a newcomer who has just debuted for two months after all, not to mention the different regions and the right majors.

So for Zhang Heng, the price of 300,000 per episode is already very high, and this is still Zhao Xingliang selling the face of the Guo family, otherwise, ordinary people really can't get this number.

Coupled with the idle 11 million, Zhang Heng already has 26 million liquidity in his hands, excluding the planned debt repayment, buying a house, etc., his mobilizable funds are about 178 million.

Within a month, he couldn't afford to make a big production, after all, tens of millions of dollars were scattered in the past, inviting actors, renting equipment, recruiting crews, etc., all of which were not small expenses, and there were no special effects to burn money, and in Zhang Heng's eyes, it was basically not a big production.

The small production is more than enough, like the classic case "Crazy Stone" in the previous life, there are only more than 3 million production funds, but the box office is more than 20 million, which is six or seven times as much, but Zhang Heng automatically filtered out this movie.

With a return of more than 20 million, he wrote a script with 15 million, and if he only had such a return after hard work, it would be better not to shoot.

The Crazy Boy series is different, not to mention the box office, in terms of influence alone, Crazy Boy is better than "Crazy Stone" too much.

In the previous life, due to restrictions, the Crazy Boy series was not allowed to be released in the mainland, but in Xiangjiang, it continuously refreshed a number of historical box office records, although it was later squeezed out of the top ten, but at that time, as a small Zuò movie, Crazy Boy was undoubtedly dazzling.

What if you move the Crash Boy series to this open time and space?

Zhang Heng frowned, this feeling of looking ahead and looking back, being cautious, lest he offend the big forces, is not what he wants in two lifetimes.

Zhang Heng suddenly had the idea of starting a new media company, signing some staff, or some spare actors, etc., and it was best to recruit some management talents, in that case, he would not think so much about it now, worrying about these situations.

"Shoot!"

After half an hour of being in a daze, Zhang Heng suddenly gritted his teeth and decided.

Remove some dangerous dark factors, as a small system, the Crazy Boy series has little investment, quick results, and a high rate of return, which is the most suitable for Zhang Heng at this time, he only needs a mature script, and a mature crew, as well as a familiar and experienced underworld
