Chapter 531: I Can't Sign It

After entering 08 years, the image store began to become more and more sluggish.

Physical albums can't be sold at all, even if they are albums released by popular singers, they will sell at most 10,000 or 20,000 copies in Huaxia, and many of them are supported by fans who are swollen and fat.

More and more video stores are closing, and more and more brick-and-mortar music manufacturers are starting to change careers.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this line of work is going to be eliminated.

In addition to video stores, MP3 and MP4, which have just been on the rise for a few years, seem to be slowly starting to sell well.

A smartphone that can cover MP3, MP4 and the price is getting cheaper, and even you can buy a Polaroid mobile phone that can watch movies and listen to songs for only 700 yuan......

In such a market, these MP3s and MP4s are naturally gradually disappearing from the market.

This is the law of this world, and times always move forward.

People in this era will either try their best to seize the forefront of the times, or they will be completely abandoned by the times and become losers who will only remember the glory days.

In addition to the fact that many things are gradually becoming a thing of the past, there is also an exciting thing that has become the theme of the beginning of '08, and the atmosphere of the Olympics is getting stronger and stronger.

On Weibo, on TV, and on the front pages of major media news, one or two sentences about the Olympics and the mysterious "Bird's Nest" are mentioned every day.

Cartoons on major TV have also begun to tell stories around the theme of "Olympics", regardless of the quality of the story, at least this momentum is quite strong, so that countless children can say two words related to the Olympics.

But the Olympic story that touched all netizens and children the most was the "Olympics" side story in "What Happened to the Rabbit That Year" [The First Athlete to Participate in the Olympics in the Flower Family].

"On July 29, 1932, 23-year-old Liu Chang* came to Los Angeles after three weeks of turbulence at sea, he was the only Chinese athlete in the Los Angeles Olympic Games, and on the afternoon of the next day (July 30), the 10th Olympic Games, the Los Angeles Olympic Games opened......

"Liu Chang* was the fastest runner in China at the time, and he set the national record of 10.7 seconds in 100m in 1933 for 25 years. Liu Chang* was originally going to compete in the 100m, 200m and 400m races. Unfortunately, after three weeks of turbulence at sea, my physical strength was greatly affected, and in the end, I only participated in the 100-meter and 200-meter races due to physical exhaustion. I didn't qualify for these two events......

「………「

In animation.

A simple rabbit traveled across the ocean to Los Angeles, and in the strange eyes of countless small animals, it represented the "flower planter" to participate in the Olympic Games at that time.

In that era of poverty and weakness, all the little animals had professional coaches, sophisticated equipment, and a strong motherland, and the rabbits who were eliminated after participating in the Olympic Games had to return to China alone as soon as possible, returning to the war-torn and almost disgraced flower planters.

"What Happened to the Rabbit That Year", an anime side story, was amazingly popular once it was broadcast, and in just a few days, the number of hits on this side story actually broke more than 10 million!

Under the Weibo of "That Rabbit", countless "tears collapsed".

Time has passed!

Looking at the current era of rapid change, netizens can't help but feel a sense of pride.

Decades ago, who would have thought that one day, the poor and weak China would not only stand up, but even hold its own Olympic Games in the capital, warmly welcoming countless visitors from other countries......

"Xiao Jiang, you are my most optimistic director, since the first day you stepped into the starlight, I felt that you are a director with great potential......

"In fact, you have also proved yourself, you have proved that you are stronger than Zhou Yang, and you have proved that you are the leader of this era, a well-deserved first person......

"I know you have some contact with Feng Kai and these people, of course, you don't have to have a psychological burden, I'm here

After so many years of wandering, I know that some people are behind the scenes, and I won't fall for this kind of trick......

"But ......"

"Liao Zhai Painted Skin" broke 800 million is already a sure thing.

Django was called into the office by Li Zhongjun and chatted for a long time......

Django had never seen Li Zhongjun's expression so serious and gentle, and even let himself sit next to him and personally brewed him a cup of West Lake Longjing.

After listening to Li Zhongjun's words, Django couldn't help but feel a little flattered.

After chatting in the atmosphere, Django had mixed feelings in his heart, and when he felt that he was about to be treated as the chief director of the company, Li Zhongjun handed Django a contract.

"After all, the company is not my own decision, after the fire of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", there are naturally a lot of controversies, I believe you also know, many shareholders feel that you are eating inside and out, I will try my best to protect you, and it is not easy to cultivate you as the chief director of Xinghui in the future, I believe you also understand that there is huge external pressure now......

"It's a five-year contract, you can see this contract, if there are no problems, you can sign it, it will be of great benefit to you in the future......

Django flipped through the contract and looked at the terms of the contract.

The terms are not too harsh on the surface, probably not to make movies for other companies for five years, and must make Xinghui's movies, and there are also some breach of contract clauses.

But when Django saw the total box office clause that must bring at least 5 billion yuan to the company in five years, Django was stunned.

"Mr. Li, five billion in five years? I can't do that......

"I'm sure you can do it!"

"If you can't do it, will there be any consequences? The conditions for default here are not elaborated..."

"There are no real consequences, and we won't do anything to you."

"I can't sign ......"

"What did you say?"

"I can't sign it!"

Django bowed his head, but he said it very firmly.

When he looked up, he saw that Li Zhongjun's smile gradually stiffened, and then his face gradually became gloomy.

He quickly changed his words, "I'll think about it again......

…………

March 8.

The first round of filming of "Spider-Man" has come to an end.

The budget was overrun again.

So far, the overall has been overspent by 13 million yuan, although he has been prepared in his heart, and he is desperately telling himself about various patterns, but the bright red bill still makes Zhou Yang break out in a cold sweat, and he slowed down for dozens of seconds, and after reviewing it for a long time, he regained his calm.

The money that should be burned is still to be burned.

But then that calm was shattered.

"Zheng Jun's "Mine Bottom" project has been launched......

"Because it's basically all about special effects, the budget of the movie "Mine Bottom" is higher than that of "Spider-Man", perhaps more than $10 million......

"The film "Mine Bottom" in China is basically not very optimistic, except for Zhang Genshui Zhang's total investment of more than 20 million US dollars and some companies familiar with us have invested 15 million US dollars, other investors are in a wait-and-see attitude......

"I just received a message from James. According to Mr. Bonthe, he made a rough budget for the "Avatar" project, and the budget amount may be 300 million US dollars...... Although James. Bont doesn't worry about investing, but I think the staggering figure of $300 million, even in Hollywood, where blockbusters are raging, is a huge amount of money, and the eight major Hollywood studios really don't necessarily invest......

"Many of our projects are actually making money, but the money we make can't support investing in "Mine Bottom" or "Avatar" at present......

"The budget for "The Silence of the Lambs" is not very high......

「……「

The success of a series of movies inevitably made Zhou Yang's confidence a little inflated

Swelled up.

But after hearing the news of the two movies "Mine Bottom" and "Avatar", Zhou Yang's expansion was suddenly beaten back to its original shape.

"Let's wait for "Spider-Man" to be released......

He nodded very calmly on the surface, made a cup of tea and drank it gently, but there was another cold sweat on his back.

Of course, there is another way, which is to sign a VAM agreement with some capital like other directors......

Although Zhou Yang rejected this idea in his heart, at this moment, he still felt like a gambler, winning a million profits in a bet, and falling into the abyss if he lost.

"Okay."

Xu Mei looked at Zhou Yang in front of her.

She felt like her mood was empty.

Since filming "Spider-Man", she has been hanging a heart, and every time "Spider-Man" overspends a little, her heart will jerk.

After a brief silence, Xu Mei turned to the next page of the information.

The next page is the data of "What Happened to the Rabbit That Year" under "Storm Animation".

She smiled slightly, and talked to Zhou Yang about the clicks and popularity of the side story.

"Mr. Zhou...... Zhang Xiaoya, Mr. Zhang just called me, I hope to talk to you......

"Oh, I'll call Mr. Zhang now......

When Zhou Yang saw the side stories of "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year", he was actually quite pleasantly surprised, the script outlines of these side stories were not provided by himself, and they were completely made by "Storm Animation" himself.

Then he turned on his mobile phone, flipped to Zhang Xiaoya's number and called.

After the phone was connected, the other party was very surprised at first, and then reported the current situation of the "Storm Animation" company.

After the report......

"Mr. Zhou,Recently, sports animation has been a little thriving.,Especially over there.,"Iron Slam Dunk" is a very popular animation.,We want to follow the trend to make a basketball sports animation.,The kind that is ready to do long-term anime serialization.,I've probably got a sketch and character design.,I've sent it to your mailbox.,You take the time to take a look...... In fact, the character design and plot are not mature, and our team doesn't know where to start for a while......

「……「

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Xiaoya's voice was a little worried.
