Chapter 180: Talent Wang Jiawei
"The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" Liu Zhenwei is no stranger, although the movie has nothing to do with him, but he is very familiar with the script. In the movie, he also played a role.
Liu Zhenwei is also bright-minded, and some people think of the pure love story of "Those Years", which will be welcomed by many people in the market.
"Boss, although many people nowadays like that kind of exciting, heroic, chivalrous and other novels. But there are also some groups of popular novels about love, especially in Taiwan. "Those Years" is a novel of pure love, and some people must like it very much. In addition, after the movie is released, there will be many people who are willing to buy a novel and take a look at it. I estimate that if "Those Years" is really adapted into a novel, it will definitely sell well. Li Le opened his mind, and Liu Zhenwei also opened his mind.
I have to say Liu Zhenwei's ability, the reason why Li Le proposed the script to change the novel is because of "Those Years". The novel "Those Years" did well, but he didn't want to write it (or copy it). In Li Le's heart, he just wants to hand over the novel adaptation of "Those Years" to the screenwriting department.
"It's really good." Li Le said with a smile. originally had an idea in his heart, and of course Li Le would not refuse Liu Zhenwei's proposal.
"But boss, there is a very serious problem to deal with here. It is the question of how to distribute the various copyrights of the script into a novel. You must know that if you succeed, you will have a lot of benefits, and if you don't deal with it well, there will be a lot of disputes in the future. Liu Zhenwei is not a fool, and he said the most important thing at once. After all, the script was written by the screenwriter. But adapting it into a novel is not necessarily the screenwriter's own hand, and the copyright on this is really clearly divided, so as not to cause any turmoil after the worst.
Li Le also thought of the question that Liu Zhenwei said, and he said with a smile, "You see if this will work, the script written by the screenwriter belongs to the company, and the screenwriter can get the money for the price of the script." If the script is given to another person to be adapted into a novel, the screenwriter of the script will account for the majority, and the adaptor will account for part of the income from the adapted novel. Specifically, it is for everyone to communicate on their own. We only provide one platform. If the screenwriter did it himself. The interests are his own. ”
"The interests are separated, and it is indeed possible. But in this matter, does the company take a certain profit? Liu Zhenwei also considered the company from the position of Oriental Entertainment.
Oriental Entertainment has no interests, Li Le really didn't think about this before. Now Liu Zhenwei mentioned it. Li Le also felt that Oriental Entertainment couldn't work in vain. I thought about it. Li Le said: "The company charges 5% to 10% of the income from the adapted novel according to the actual situation. The specific extraction depends on the actual situation. ”
"Something concrete. After that, you should prepare a little more and make a charter. ”
"Okay, I'll take care of this myself." Liu Zhenwei also feels that the development route proposed by Li Lexin is very promising, although not every movie script can be adapted into a novel, but there are some movies with wonderful stories, and if you publish a novel, you can also make a lot of money.
"In the adaptation of the novel, "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" will be the first part! In the above, I set an example, after deducting the various costs of publishing, the company accounts for 10% of the revenue, and the adaptor accounts for 10%. Li Le smiled and said his decision.
"Boss, that's not good! "Those Years" you can do it yourself. And according to your fame, neither the company nor the adaptor can take such a big advantage. Regarding Li Le's decision, Liu Zhenwei hesitated a little.
Li Le shook his head and said, "I don't lack this money. My decision is to advertise our screenwriting department, and to let the screenwriting department produce results as soon as possible. I think that if my decision is announced, it will attract a lot of us to join our screenwriting department at Oriental Entertainment. ”
Hearing Li Le say that he was advertising himself, Liu Zhenwei showed a smile on his face, and he said with a smile: "Boss, if your current decision is spread outside, many people must be willing to join our screenwriting department." It's those screenwriters who are living a good life now, and they may all be excited to jump to our Oriental Entertainment. ”
Li Le smiled and said: "There are not too few screenwriters, even if we don't have the energy to shoot the scripts we write, we can sell them to others." Li Le also has a trace of pride in his heart, wanting to develop the screenwriting department of Oriental Entertainment into the largest script production center for Hong Kong films.
"Boss, I will definitely do my best to complete your mission." Liu Zhenwei confidently assured.
"Don't leave your job as a director, you must know that your contract with the company is a director contract, and I still think that you will make movies for the company in the future!" Li Leke didn't want his decision to make Liu Zhenwei devote himself to the development of screenwriting. If this is the case, Oriental Entertainment will have one less big director. Li Le of the screenwriting department can find other outstanding talents to be in charge, but there are few talents like Liu Zhenwei who will become a big director in the future.
Listening to Li Le's words, Liu Zhenwei was also a little moved in his heart. In Liu Zhenwei's heart, he was even more determined to follow Li Le and expand Oriental Entertainment. Thinking of the development of Oriental Entertainment, Liu Zhenwei thought about it and said: "Boss, I recommend someone to the screenwriting department with you." It's a friend of mine, and he's no worse than me. Really, I'm weaker. ”
"Tell me." Li Le's heart was also slightly excited, and Li Le knew who Liu Zhenwei wanted to recommend.
What Li Le can think of is Wang Jiawei alone. The relationship between Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei, Li Leke knows very clearly. Wang Jiawei won the award and pit investors at the same time, and Liu Zhenwei was the one who cleaned up the mess for Wang Jiawei by his side, and Li Le can see such things in his memory.
"Wang Jiawei. Boss, you may not know him very well, but his ability is indeed not weak. ”
Hearing that Liu Zhenwei really said that it was Wang Jiawei, Li Le's mood also calmed down. Li Le thought that when Wang Jiawei made a movie, he didn't have a clear script, he just thought of what to shoot. He couldn't help but have a headache. He looked at Liu Zhenwei and asked, "Do you want Wang Jiawei to enter your screenwriting department?" ”
In Li Le's heart, he has no hope that Wang Jiawei will be able to write a complete script.
Liu Zhenwei nodded, he thought about it, and said: "Jiawei is usually a little unreliable, but his cognitive ability to the script is not low. I think with him joining, the screenwriting department will definitely be better. ”
Li Le was also a little embarrassed in his heart, but thinking about Wang Jiawei's ability to win awards, it was better to say for the time being that it would be better to enter the screenwriting department. Wang Jiawei's movies are a bit cheating at the box office, but Li Le will not let go of talents like him. I thought about it. Li Le said: "That's it! You contact him, come over and I'll take a look. As long as it's good. Just let him sign a contract with us, and the temporary idea is to let him go to your screenwriting department. ”
Hearing Li Le's words, although Li Le had not clearly affirmed that he wanted to sign Wang Jiawei, Liu Zhenwei still said excitedly: "That boss." I'll contact him now. I called him right away. "Finished. Liu Zhenwei got up directly and left Li Le's office.
Seeing Liu Zhenwei leave excitedly, Li Le originally wanted to ask Liu Zhenwei what other talents he recommended. But when he saw the other party's appearance, Li Le didn't say anything.
"I was able to get Wang Jiawei. It's already good. In his office, Li Le also laughed lowly.
For Oriental Entertainment, among the directors so far, Wang Jing and Liu Zhenwei don't have much hope for Li Le to win the award, and the two directors Li Le also have the idea of letting them develop into commercial films. As for Wang Jiawei, his arrival has made up for a lot. Li Le can imagine that when Wang Jiawei becomes more skilled, his movies will definitely be able to bring many awards and honors to Oriental Entertainment.
In Chinese-language films, Wang Jiawei finally won the best director at the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, and the best film was also won. When it comes to nominations, it's even more. Wang Jiawei's films, each of which has a certain number of nominations.
"The King of Sunglasses, it's really something to look forward to."
Today's Wang Jiawei is running for his career! He doesn't have the same investors who invest in his scripts now regardless of box office gains and losses. Hearing Liu Zhenwei say that he entered Oriental Entertainment before, Wang Jiawei was also a little envious of his brother in his heart. While he was worried about his prospects, Liu Zhenwei gave him a phone call.
On Liu Zhenwei's phone call, Wang Jiawei knew that Li Le wanted to see him, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited. Now who doesn't know that Li Le's fame and boldness in the circle have been exposed. In Wang Jiawei's heart, he also hopes to have a rich man as bold as Li Le as the boss.
"Jiawei, you come to Oriental Entertainment first. Mr. Li wants to meet you, and I think with your ability, Mr. Li will definitely sign you. On the phone, Liu Zhenwei also urged Wang Jiawei to put down what he was doing first. In fact, there is no need for Liu Zhenwei to remind him, Wang Jiawei also understands what he should do.
Wang Jiawei, who received Liu Zhenwei's call, was still entangled in film investment with an investor, but after receiving Liu Zhenwei's call, Wang Jiawei got up in a dashing manner and said: "Okay, you don't want to invest, I'll find someone else." ”
The boss Jian Wang Jiawei really got up so chic, and shouted behind Wang Jiawei: "If you leave, don't want to get my investment in the future." It's just that Wang Jiawei has now received an invitation from Oriental Entertainment, where would he worry so much. Wang Jiawei believes in his own ability, and he feels that he will be appreciated in Oriental Entertainment. When making movies, you don't need to beg your father and mother to find investment.
Wang Jiawei's speed is very fast, and Liu Zhenwei is not bad, so he waited outside the company early. "Let's go, follow me to Mr. Li." Liu Zhenwei said, and also walked briskly towards Li Le's office with Wang Jiawei.
Sitting in his office, Li Le watched Liu Zhenwei knock on the door and come in, with a person behind him. Looking at the other party's appearance, Li Le immediately recognized the other party as Wang Jiawei, the famous director who later became famous.
"Boss, I've brought Jiawei here." Liu Zhenwei said to Li Le carefully.
Li Le glanced at Liu Zhenwei and looked at Wang Jiawei seriously. Although Wang Jiawei does not have such a high reputation as later, that style must be not much different from later. Fresh clothes, angry horses, sunglasses. Fortunately, Wang Jiawei also knew that he was polite, and took off his sunglasses when he entered the door. (To be continued......)
