After listening to Cao Zhiqiang's "heartfelt words", Director Yang was also a little speechless for a while.

Although she felt that Cao Zhiqiang was shirking, but after thinking about it carefully, what he said was not unreasonable.

Especially Director Yang, who knows a little bit about it, believes what Cao Zhiqiang said even more.

The reason is simple, that is, many times, rumors are not credible.

Especially at this time, if someone can accumulate a personal wealth of more than 10 million in just one year, this sounds outrageous.

Although the news said that the movie "Love in the Rain" directed and starred by Cao Zhiqiang was a great success in Japan and also got a box office of more than 9.75 billion.

But even if it is true, with the introduction of previous films, Cao Zhiqiang is unlikely to get too much money, at most the actor director is more famous.

Because it's very simple, taking China as an example, the introduction of foreign movies is a buyout of the copyright, and it will not play with you anything.

Since this is the case in our country, if your film is exported abroad, people will generally play a reciprocal policy with you.

Therefore, according to Director Yang's understanding, even if the movie made by Cao Zhiqiang was a big success in Japan, Cao Zhiqiang would not really get much money, and it was likely to be a one-time buyout, and then give a little more bonus because of the particularly good results.

It's just that the news is saying that the movie "Love in the Rain" is a sharing model, which makes Director Yang a little puzzled.

This time, people clearly said that it was indeed a share, but the proportion of sharing was not high, which somewhat made Director Yang feel at ease, or felt that it should have been so.

Of course, even so, a movie has not been released in China yet, and it has received more than 3 million RMB in Japan, which is remarkable in itself.

At present, there are only one domestic movies, even if the super popular "Shaolin Temple" and "Wrangler", the combined money of their film companies is not more than a fraction of this money.

And "Love in the Rain" has not yet been released in China, it exploded abroad in advance, and then transmitted to China through the news.

I believe that once it is released in China, it will definitely be another explosive situation.

Even if it is not as good as "Shaolin Temple" and "Wrangler" at that time, it will not be too bad.

However, in the form of a unified buyout in China, it is estimated that no matter how good the box office of "Love in the Rain" is in China, Cao Zhiqiang and his film company will not get too much money, and they can get a top buyout quota of 900,000 yuan, even if it is burning high incense.

It's a pity that Director Yang never expected that Cao Zhiqiang would not take the usual path.

He has already used the excuse of "fog" in advance to put forward three conditions with Uncle Lin, the first of which is the movie box office sharing system.

Even if it's only limited to his Hongguang Film Factory, that's enough.

Once he has this opening, let's not talk about anything else, at least after "Love in the Rain" is officially released in China, the box office share he can get from it will definitely not be less.

If you're not careful, you'll be able to earn far more than you can in Japan.

The reason is simple, that is, although the ticket price of domestic movie tickets is not as high as the ticket price in Japan, the number of people is large.

As long as there are enough people, the box office revenue will naturally be high.

It's just that there is no need to explain these things to Director Yang one by one.

"Okay, I see." Director Yang nodded with great self-cultivation, "Actually, it's very presumptuous to come and bother, and there is no way to find investment." ”

"I'm really sorry." Cao Zhiqiang hurriedly said with a look of shame, "It's rare that you came to me once, but you didn't help, I feel very embarrassed." ”

"Where." Director Yang smiled, "Actually, it is worth taking this opportunity to meet the famous Mr. Cao." ”

After Cao Zhiqiang smiled and humbly flipped it, Director Yang said again: "However, when you have spare money, can you help?" ”

Cao Zhiqiang immediately agreed: "Don't worry, as long as I can have spare money and don't violate organizational discipline, I will definitely help." ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for the news from Director Cao." Director Yang smiled.

Just when Cao Zhiqiang thought that the other party would get up and leave immediately because he couldn't get the money.

Who knew that the other party changed his words again: "Actually, this time, in addition to wanting to invest, I also want to borrow two people from you." ”

"Borrow two?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, "Who?" Which two people? ”

Director Yang smiled: "First of all, the first one, of course, is the now famous Comrade Zhu Lin."

Since the "Love in the Rain" you starred in with Comrade Zhu Lin achieved the first box office result in Japan, and in turn reported in China.

Not only did this movie that had not yet been released become popular, but Comrade Zhu Lin also became popular.

Now, I've heard that many magazines, including popular films, want to ask her for an interview and a cover, but they haven't been able to find anyone.

I heard that Zhu Lin's current relationship is with you, can you cut your love and secondment our Journey to the West crew to play a role? ”

Hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang subconsciously looked at Xu Qingdong.

Xu Qingdong shook his head slightly at Cao Zhiqiang, meaning that he didn't tell Director Yang Jie the truth.

After getting the news, Cao Zhiqiang's heart was stable.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled at Director Yang: "Oh, Sister Zhu can participate in the Journey to the West crew, of course this is a good thing, I myself must be in favor of it, but it's just ......"

"Just what?" Director Yang Jie asked immediately.

Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "It's just that unfortunately, when Sister Zhu and Director Xu went to Japan to participate in the promotional activities of the film before, they fell ill at that time because they were not accustomed to the water and soil and occasionally felt cold.

Since Sister Zhu was sick and very sick, I originally wanted her to be hospitalized in Japan.

But Sister Zhu insisted on not being hospitalized in Japan and insisted on returning to China immediately.

The reason is that her visa is a short-term visa, and the cost of hospital treatment in Japan is too expensive, so she doesn't want to burden us too much, so she insists on returning to China for treatment.

We couldn't resist her, so we hurriedly ended the propaganda campaign and returned home early.

It's just that because there was no suitable direct domestic flight at that time, and Sister Zhu's condition seemed to be very serious, and she had a high fever that did not go away, so we chose a direct flight from Japan to Xiangjiang, planning to go to Xiangjiang first, and then return to China through Xiangjiang.

However, when we got off the plane in Xiangjiang, Sister Zhu soon fainted, and we had no choice but to send Sister Zhu to a local hospital in Xiangjiang through a friend of mine in Xiangjiang.

The doctor said that Sister Zhu's condition is not optimistic, it is severe pneumonia, and her body is very weak, if she is not hospitalized quickly, her life will be in danger at any time.

In this way, we let Sister Zhu temporarily be hospitalized in Xiangjiang and asked my friend in Xiangjiang to take care of her.

As for Director Xu and I, because we couldn't stay in Xiangjiang for a long time, we had to go back to the mainland first.

Therefore, at this time, Sister Zhu should still be hospitalized in the hospital in Xiangjiang, and I am afraid that I will not be able to agree to your request.

And the doctor in Xiangjiang also said.

Sister Zhu was originally in poor health, very weak, and her resistance was very poor, and after getting sick, she dragged on for so long, which hurt her vitality.

Therefore, even if it can really be cured this time and get out of the dangerous period, I am afraid that I will have to recuperate for a while.

At the very least, she would have to recuperate for more than a year.

During this period, it is best not to work, but to recuperate in peace.

Therefore, at least for a year, I am afraid that Sister Zhu will not be able to participate in the filming work. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang turned his head to look at Xu Qingdong: "Director Xu, isn't that so?" ”

Xu Qingdong immediately nodded at Director Yang Jie with a serious face: "That's right, that's the way it is!"

Comrade Zhu Lin, well, at least one year, no, I think it will take at least two years, and she will not be able to work normally. ”

"Huh?" Yang Jie looked surprised, "She is so sick?" ”

Xu Qingdong said with a sad expression: "Who said it wasn't!"

Who would have thought that Comrade Zhu Lin would suddenly have a ...... This disease!

She should have told us earlier.

If she had told us that she wasn't feeling well, we wouldn't have let her go to Japan for the campaign.

In that case, maybe it will be better.

But now it seems that Comrade Zhu Lin's physical condition will not be able to put him into work in the short term. ”

Director Yang Jie looked regretful: "Alas, it's a pity! Originally, I wanted her to play the Queen Mother, but now it seems that it can't be done. ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "The words of the Queen Mother, although they are noble, they don't feel like Sister Zhu's temperament, right?" How about I make a suggestion? ”

"What advice?" Tour guide Yang Jie asked.

Cao Zhiqiang said: "Director Yang, according to your shooting method, I'm afraid this Journey to the West can't be filmed in a year or two." And there are so many episodes, each of your episodes is shot according to the standards of filmmaking, I think it is possible to shoot it for three or four years.

I remember that there was a clip of a daughter country in Journey to the West.

From what I see, it is better to leave the role of the king of the daughter country to Zhu Lin.

By the way, arrange a drama where the king of the daughter country falls in love with Tang Seng, but he can't love it.

What do you think? ”

Director Yang Jie was stunned for a moment, and then clapped her hands violently: "Yes, why didn't I think of it?" That's a good idea! ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled, thinking to himself, can it be bad? That's what you had in mind, but I just took it out in advance.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang also said:

"Director Yang, if Zhu Lin can play the role of the king of the daughter country, and talk to Tang Seng about a love that he can't love, I will definitely give my full support at that time.

Not only will I try my best to figure it out financially, but I can even help write a theme song related to it.

Of course, this must be after Comrade Zhu Lin recovers from his illness.

Therefore, I hope you will shoot the scenes of other episodes first, and this episode will be reserved for Zhu Lin.

When she's ready, I'll start preparing for the shoot. ”

Hearing Cao Zhiqiang say this, Director Yang Jie's eyes lit up: "Yes, I almost forgot, you are also a famous music writer."

Of course I can agree to the request you said, isn't it just two years to wait, no problem.

However, can you write a few theme songs for our Journey to the West? ”

Cao Zhiqiang blinked and immediately refused: "Alas, Director Yang, it's not that I don't want to, but I have a lot of work to do for the time being, and I'm afraid I can't calm down and create."

Besides, even if I could, I wouldn't write.

Because as far as I know, you actually already have a dedicated music producer.

And the music writer of a TV series still has to talk about some taboos.

If you already have a professional music writer, it's best to keep using it and don't just change it.

The reason why I proposed to write the song in the episode of Daughter Country is because our actors are involved here, and I will have to invest in it at that time.

In this way, if I write one or two songs into it, it won't be a big problem.

But it's definitely not okay to grab someone else's job now. ”

Hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Director Yang nodded: "It's the same, it's me Meng Lang." ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "It's okay, I can understand your love and dedication to the TV series Journey to the West, and you also love deeply, so you ignored these small details for a while."

By the way, you said before that you want to borrow two people from me, who else is there besides Zhu Lin?

It won't be to borrow our Director Xu, right? ”

Indeed, Cao Zhiqiang thinks about it, his Hongguang Film Factory has two or three kittens now, and the ones who can get their hands on it are Zhu Lin, an actress who has begun to become popular, and Xu Qingdong, a director.

Of course, he is also a director himself.

After all, the name of the first director of "Love in the Rain" is Cao Zhiqiang.

And Xu Qingdong is only the second director in that movie.

Therefore, when Director Yang Jie said that he wanted to borrow two people from him, Cao Zhiqiang immediately thought of Xu Qingdong and Zhu Lin, and would never think of himself.

The reason is very simple, Director Yang is not a stupid person, he must know that with Cao Zhiqiang's current status, she will not be able to invite him easily.

Moreover, she said that she borrowed someone from Cao Zhiqiang, so she definitely couldn't borrow him personally.

Thinking about it, it can only be Zhu Lin and Xu Qingdong.

However, when director Yang Jie said the second name, Cao Zhiqiang was shocked.

Well, if there are glasses.

"Who? Ma Suqin? ”

"Yes, it's Comrade Ma Suqin, I want to borrow her."

Cao Zhiqiang blinked and subconsciously looked at Xu Qingdong.

Xu Qingdong shook his head slightly.

That means that he didn't know about it either, and he just found out about it.

After receiving the signal, Cao Zhiqiang turned his head and asked Director Yang: "Why did you choose her?" She was just a newcomer to school, and she didn't have any works at all. ”

Director Yang Jie smiled and said, "I know this. Actually, when I went directly to your film studio to find someone, I didn't expect to work with a publishing house.

So when I went in and asked someone, they led me to a special floor, saying that this is the part of the film studio, but at the moment there is only one office with people, and no one else, so I asked me to find someone myself, and then left.

I went to the only occupied office by myself, and when I opened the office door, I found that there was only one person inside, and that was Comrade Ma Suqin.

At that time, Comrade Ma Suqin was talking to herself in front of the full-length mirror, and I knew at a glance that she was practicing her acting and lines.

She practiced so hard that she didn't even notice when I pushed the door in.

So I didn't speak at first, just quietly watched her perform.

Then I found out that her acting skills are very good, and her line skills are also very good.

But more importantly, her image and temperament amazed me.

Especially the coldness, stubbornness and arrogance in the eyes, which others can't compare.

I think she is the best candidate for Chang'e.

Therefore, I want her to come to my crew and play the role of Chang'e Fairy, what do you think? ”
