Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

A novel that has just been published, when most film companies are waiting to see the results and influence of the novel, Zhou Xiao's AZX shot ahead of schedule.

The author of the novel, Takuji Ichikawa, is in his forties, but even at this age, he seems very nervous to see Zhou Xiao, and it seems that his name as a famous director is quite effective.

"Ichikawa-sama has already read Mr. Ichikawa's work, and I feel that it has a lot of potential, so I came here to ask if Mr. Ishikawa has any intention of selling the rights to adapt the novel, and if you decide to sell it, I will personally participate in the adaptation of the movie script." Zhou Xiao said.

"Of course it would be best if Mr. Zhou Xiao could participate in the adaptation, but it's a pity...... The rights to the adaptation of my work have been sold...... "Takuji Ichikawa said.

"Sold? Sold to whom? Zhou Xiao was surprised.

"What sells is ...... Toho. Takuji Ichikawa said regretfully.

"That's right...... Did they say when it would be filmed? Zhou Xiao asked.

"No, they don't seem to have any plans to shoot it yet, but they did buy the rights when the novel was first published."

"That's right...... Well, Mr. Ichikawa will definitely let me know if there are any works next time. Zhou Xiao said.

"Of course, no problem, if I knew that you were also interested in this work, I would never have sold the film so early." Takuji Ichikawa said.

What he said was half-true, if Zhou Xiao and Dongbao stood together and the conditions were the same, I believe that Ichikawa would definitely choose Dongbao instead of him Zhou Xiao, who is a large company. And from the production of the film to the line to the release, the whole process is quite professional, but what about azx? AZX is a Zhou Xiao. may be able to make something very interesting, but they only have one Zhou Xiao, as an entertainment company that was originally just a brokerage company, and now it has also begun to get involved in film and television production, although compared with the various small brokerage companies, Zhou Xiao's company is already quite small, but if it is compared with those level companies. It's too much, too much, as for letting Zhou Xiao rank his works as a money-making masterpiece like "Ju Day"? I'm afraid no one dares to have that kind of confidence.

Saying goodbye to Takuji Ichikawa, Zhou Xiaowo began to think about the movie in Shari.

This work by Ichikawa. In the end, it sold 4.7 billion yen at the box office, which means that if the budget for filming this drama is less than 500 million, it is already considered a well-made masterpiece in Japan. If a total of 500 million was spent. Subtract the box office share, then Zhou Xiao can earn a total of more than one billion in income, which is a lot, just shooting an ordinary pure love movie can earn so much, and the Japanese counterparts must be quite greedy.

"But the point is, this film already belongs to Dongbao......" Zhou Xiao was a little confused,

"If you really want to get this film, you can't let the other party realize that you really want to make this film. Even as the box office of this movie is close to 5 billion...... "Zhou Xiao first thought of this.

Secondly, I want Toho to give up a work that has already been obtained. AZX will inevitably have to pay the corresponding price, this price can't be small, otherwise Dongbao won't be interested, but the price can't be too big, otherwise Dongbao will probably have the purpose of AZX, and then they will take the opportunity to raise the price, if it is not to take the opportunity to raise the price but to be interested in the film, and immediately start to shoot by the Zhang Luo crew, then the AZX side will lose more than it gains.

called Li Rui to tell him what he thought, Li Rui thought for a while and asked, "So, you are very optimistic about this film?" ”

"That's right, I think the box office of this film will reach at least 3 billion yen." Zhou Xiao said.

"It's really a drama worth investing in, do you want to shoot it yourself?" Li Rui asked.

"No, I don't have the time, the best option is for us to invest instead of doing it." Zhou Xiao said.

"It's a hassle...... It stands to reason that the film already belongs to Toho, and it is very inappropriate for us to meddle, if we meddle and make money, there is also a suspicion of snatching it from Toho, and it will be easy to arouse Toho's disgust in the future. After listening to Zhou Xiao's statement, Li Rui also didn't know what to do.

"Anyway, try to do it, you can buy it better, and if you can't buy it, forget it." Zhou Xiao said that wanting to meddle in the film production of other directors is just a choice made by Zhou Xiao in the needs of the exhibition company, as for the bulk of the money, his heart is still on "Lost Necraft".

When Li Rui left the office, Nakamaru walked in and said, "Boss, there is a person named Tian Qiwen outside looking for you." ”

"Tian Qiwen? Such a familiar name. Zhou Xiao said.

"Let him in." He said.

After waiting for two minutes, a man pushed the door and walked in, and Zhou Xiao knew who he was by looking at this person's appearance.

"I'm sorry, I've seen too many of your plays, but today I connected your looks with your plays." Zhou Xiao stood up and said a little apologetically.

"I hear this kind of talk thousands of times a year on average, it's normal, don't pay too much attention to it." Tian Qiwen shook hands with Zhou Xiao and said.

I believe that 90% of post-80s Chinese are familiar with this Tian Qiwen's appearance, but it is not easy to say what role he has played in what film, because he only appears in the film for a minute or two in most cases.

Tian Qiwen's other identity is Stephen Chow's agent, and he also plays a very important role in Xingye's company, and it seems that he is responsible for contacting Zhou Xiao this time.

"Did Mr. Tian come to me because of the Xingye movie? If you want me to say that you don't use it at all, I've loved Xingye's movies since I was a child, and if there is a cameo or a role or something, I am obliged. Zhou Xiao said.

"Xingzi must be happy to die if he hears you say this, the domestic audience may not know you very well, but we who do media can admire you for a long time, if you don't take the initiative to come and say, even he wouldn't dare to ask you to be a supporting role in the movie, maybe even if you want a film director, Xingzai will offer it with both hands." Tian Qiwen said.

"Ahaha, the more you say it, the more polite it becomes. Did Mr. Tian come with Xing Ye this time or by himself? Zhou Xiao snorted, what Tian Qiwen said, Zhou Xiao listened to the director with both hands, Stephen Chow has analyzed it very clearly in later generations. This is a very paranoid and even a little freakish person, such a person is a genius, yes, but his personality is also very strange and controllable, Zhou Xiao and Ben don't think that such a person can "give the right to be a director with both hands".

"Xingzi has also arrived, this time I came to Japan mainly to talk to you about business by the way, do you think you have time?" Tian Qiwen asked.

Zhou Xiao estimated that this time the star master came. The main work should be about the release of "Kung Fu", in fact, there is still a year and a half before the release of "Kung Fu", but this is the energy of a big director and a big actor. As long as they say that they will make a certain film, there will naturally be countless investors who will come up to pay for it, and as long as they have a book, they can go to the theater to book the release schedule in advance. Of course, this schedule is not set immediately. But at least an approximate time and the release of theaters with the partner bank can be finalized in advance.

As for talking to myself about cameos, it's all trivial.

"Then I'm going to do my landlord's friendship once." Zhou Xiao hurriedly said.

Zhou Xiao took Li Rui, Tian Qiwen and Xing Ye to a high-end restaurant in Japan to eat a meal of Japanese food, and the four big men ate food in a high-end restaurant There is nothing to say, during the banquet, Zhou Xiao and Stephen Chow complimented each other, in fact, it was mainly Zhou Xiao who complimented Stephen Chow, in reality he is a person who is clumsy in words, but Zhou Xiao can see it. Stephen Chow still appreciates himself, after all, the Oscar or something. It's something he can't reach in his life.

In addition, Zhou Xiao also chatted with Stephen Chow, the so-called family with the same surname five hundred years ago, through this topic, the two can be regarded as guests and hosts.

"Zhou Xiao, are you interested in helping me read the script and give some opinions?" During the banquet, Stephen Chow took out the script of "Kung Fu" and asked.

"Not at all, I haven't been able to change the script of Xingye, if only I could give me a cameo role." Zhou Xiao doesn't have much time to act, and he still has a lot of work to do.

"That'...... Zhou Xiao, what about me...... There's no such thing as a twist and turn, so I want to ask you, why do you want to star in my film? After chatting for more than an hour, Stephen Chow finally asked directly.

"Actually, it's very simple, I've always liked your movies, I'm not afraid of your jokes, although I live in Japan, my family was very poor when I was a child, and I can even say that I have been almost always in the extreme poverty class, and your movies have brought me countless laughs and dreams." Zhou Xiao said.

Stephen Chow nodded, the Oscar winner compliments himself and worships himself, which is quite a sense of accomplishment for a filmmaker.

"So, ever since I started working in film, as a screenwriter and director, I had a dream that has always been buried in my heart, and that is that it would be great if I could write you a script." Zhou Xiao said.

"Oh? You're going to write a script for me? When Stephen Chow heard Zhou Xiao say this, his first reaction was to frown.

It's very simple, most of Stephen Chow's movies are made up by him and people inside their company, and he rarely receives scripts outside, Zhou Xiao wants to write scripts for him now, so what rules should be followed? Is it a Japanese rule or a Chinese rule? If it is a Japanese rule, then Zhou Xiao's rights are great, as long as he does not let go, the script is almost impossible to modify, which is obviously not in line with Chinese rules.

The rule in China is that the importance of the role of screenwriter is actually much lower than that of directors or even actors, and screenwriters' scripts are usually in a state of changing as much as they want in the industry, and it is normal for directors and even big-name actors to directly delete a certain character and a certain plot.

Zhou Xiao saw Stephen Chow hesitate, and after a little thought, he understood the other party's thoughts, after all, he had also been in contact with this line of work in his previous life, although it was the periphery of the periphery, but he would also hear a lot of gossip.

Zhou Xiao opened his mouth and said: "Of course, I am so young, the script I write must also have shortcomings, and you and your company's screenwriter seniors must also join in to help." Zhou Xiao's words are actually tantamount to suing Stephen Chow, I know the rules, everyone knows what to do.

"Then what kind of script do you want to give me Zhou Xiao?" Stephen Chow said. If Zhou Xiao wants to direct directly, Stephen Chow may be difficult to accept. But if it's just a script, and it depends on Zhou Xiao's meaning, it's no problem to promise him to sign with the company. When the time comes, when the time comes, the name of the Oscar-winning screenwriter will definitely gain a lot of attention, which is simply excellent publicity.

Zhou Xiao smiled, since he was already interested in his script, it would be easy to do.

"I don't really have a specific idea for this script, but I think it's time for you to try something more challenging after so many years of making funny films, but your work. Of course, it still has to be funny, so I think you might try to be funny as a whole and try to be less funny and challenge your acting skills. Zhou Xiao said.

"Oh?" Stephen Chow became interested.

In fact, the film that Zhou Xiao wants to give the other party is nothing else, it is the next film "Yangtze River No. 7" after Stephen Chow's kung fu. This film was released in O8, had a good reputation and a good box office, but these are not Zhou Xiao's goals, Zhou Xiao's goals are actually Stephen Chow's son in the film. That little girl.

The little girl's name is Xu Jiao. The girl born in 1997 was just fifteen years old in 2o12, and after the role of a little boy in O8, the girl gradually grew up and became a slim girl, and this girl is very interested in Japanese animation and even cosp1ay, and she has expressed her love for AKB48 many times on Weibo, such a little girl...... It's really a great candidate to do SNH48ACE!

Zhou Xiao has been thinking about the cooperation since he met Zhou Xiaowan at the end of 2oo2, and now he is a guest and a screenwriter. In fact, the main purpose is to get in touch with the future Xiao Xu Jiao and sign her into his own company. At that time, it is very possible not only to join SNH, but also to serve as the AKB headquarters!

Zhou Xiao and Stephen Chow did not talk about the specific content of the script, Stephen Chow is not in a hurry, he was just about to start filming "Kung Fu", and he was not interested in thinking about the next movie at all, he is no longer the kind of ordinary actor who has to film every year, three or four years, he is actually filming now just for interest. Zhou Xiao is not in a hurry, it stands to reason that the movie will only come out in 2oo8, you are out now, the little actor must not choose Xu Jiao, so Zhou Xiao's business will not all fail.

The cameo of "Kung Fu" was basically determined when chatting with Stephen Chow, Stephen Chow's movie is expected to start filming in June, and in July, Zhou Xiao will go to China to play a cameo role in it, Zhou Xiao, who has read the script, summed it up with Stephen Chow, and asked for a slum role, a poor character who was bullied by a charter wife, Zhou Xiao estimated that the time and length of this character being bullied may be a bit in conflict with that Li's sauce explosion, but this matter is not his concern, When the time comes, it will depend on how Stephen Chow's side arranges.

And Zhou Xiao also invited him by the way if he could participate in the cameo appearance of his TV series.

"I make a cameo appearance in your TV series? I'm afraid no one will notice me, right? Stephen Chow said in surprise that his movies have been released in Japan, but not many people in Japan must know him as a person, just as most people in China do not necessarily know Japan's big stars.

"The cameo was originally just for us to play, not for the audience to like, and maybe, ten years later, my TV series will still be liked by many Chinese, and at that time, if they suddenly appear in this early Japanese drama with you, it should be very interesting." Zhou Xiao said with a narrow smile.

"Well, if you insist, I'll take over the job, but I'll only be in Japan for three days, and I still have some things to talk about tomorrow morning, so I'll shoot a few shots tomorrow afternoon if I can catch up." Stephen Chow said with a smile.

"Then it's decided, you leave me your contact information, and I'll send a car to pick you up at noon tomorrow?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"Okay, no problem." Stephen Chow agreed.

"The Man Who Can't Get Married" Zhou Xiao has filmed the eighth episode, after the fourth episode of this drama finally achieved ratings growth again, the fifth and sixth episodes also worked well, each episode has two to three percent of the ratings growth, and on the Internet, there is quite a lot of discussion about this drama, Zhou Xiao knows that his modification of the film has really played a role.

Sheldon's Abe Kuan's complaining skills are fully opened, and the whole drama is becoming more and more exciting because of Zhou Xiao's script and uncle's complaints, there is only one small problem, it seems that Abe Kuan's complaints are too much, and now the audience doesn't care much about who he will choose in the end, every time the film is broadcast, the most comments on the Internet are "Coming!! - "Uncle begs to complain!! "The squirting is now full of skin!!" sounds.

Oh yes, the word Xianchong didn't appear much in the world originally, it was Zhou Xiao who said it through the mouth of Abe Kuan, who is not very good at dealing with real people, and it was quickly accepted and spread by the otaku.

Zhou Xiao estimated that the reason why this film gradually became popular and the ratings gradually increased, and those otaku and otaku may also contribute some ratings.

And this word has also spread little by little through the east wind of the TV series, and it has become a concept of otaku culture that has gradually begun to become famous, of course, the role of Abe Kuan is not actually an otaku.

As for the question of Abe's final choice of Ryoko Kuninaka or a female doctor? Zhou Xiao even began to think about whether to make this drama into a series, so that the neighbors of Abe Kuan and Ryoko Kuninaka gradually became the same existence as Sheldon and Penny...... (To be continued......)
