250: Plagiarized in front of the original author again?
Although it was only a wolf warrior, Wang Duoyu thought about it and decided to vote.
After all, Wolf Warrior 2 can have such a big achievement, and it still has something to do with Wolf Warrior.
Of course, the most important thing is that whether it is Wolf Warrior 1 or Wolf Warrior 2, in fact, the screenwriter is a person or the author of the series.
In the future, if Wang Duoyu wants to win the box office of Wolf Warrior 2, it is estimated that Wolf Warrior will not be able to get around.
Before and after, it was just that little money, and I voted!
Thinking about it, Wang Duoyu also sent a message to Brother Hu, asking him to help make an appointment with Wu Jing and meet in the company three days later.
Brother Hu, who got Wang Duoyu's reply, also directly agreed for Wu Jing.
After all, the artist is not busy, and the three days given by Wang Duoyu are enough.
Except for those top artists, most artists spend more than 60% of their time in the year being free.
Some of the mixed ones are worse and have more free time.
"If you have Wolf Warrior, then the National Day file is not missed."
Wang Duoyu muttered to himself.
That's one of the reasons why he would agree to invest.
The filming time of Wolf Warrior One is short, and in Wang Duoyu's memory, because many shots are repeated, plus factors such as framing, the filming of this movie only took more than three months.
Now there is still half a year before the National Day, and it is completely too late.
Wolf Warrior is a movie of this genre that is different from Deng Chao's "Breakup Master".
Comedy movies require that every action of the actor try to make the audience laugh.
But the military category is not used, as long as the actor puts a little effort into the role, and then has a certain military literacy, then the shooting will be much faster.
Because as long as it is serious enough and reflects the feeling of a soldier, there is no need to deliberately emphasize anything.....
Probably that's why Wolf Warrior 1 is so different from Wolf Warrior 2.....
After all, Wolf Warrior 2 emphasized what it was over and over again.
Of course, the effect is also significant.
The movie Wolf Warrior 2 basically eats up the dividends in that regard.
caused the market behind to move frantically towards Wolf Warrior 2.
How close to it?
Approaching a National Day file is all films of this type, and the National Day box office directly ushered in a record low.
The audience all complained, and the word resistance was written all over everyone's body.
These can see the impact of Wolf Warrior 2 on the film market.
Make a lot of money and meet the above requirements.....
Is there anything more tempting for capital than this?
Soon, three days passed in a flash.
Wang Duoyu also met Wu Jing in the reception room of his company.
This future actor with a box office of 20 billion yuan, the top of the domestic actor box office, is particularly restrained at this time.
Just like Chen Sicheng at the beginning.
At this time, he was just a simple actor and had no other identity.
When facing a boss of Wang Duoyu's level, it is inevitable that he will be a little nervous.
As soon as Wang Duoyu walked into the reception room, he quickly got up and stretched out his hands and said, "Hello Mr. Wang, please take care of me when we meet for the first time." ”
"Hello, don't be nervous, sit down and talk."
Wang Duoyu said with a smile.
His attitude towards the Fortune Boy is still very friendly.
After the two sat on the sofa, Wang Duoyu asked Wu Jing, "What do you think of this movie?" ”
When it comes to her own movies, Wu Jing's eyes are also a little brighter.
He enthusiastically introduced the overall situation and selling points of this movie to Wang Duoyu, as well as the current market situation, his own views on this movie, and so on.
Although Wang Duoyu felt a little bored, he still waited for Wu Jing to finish speaking before saying: "What you said is good, but according to what you said, the domestic market is still a little blank, if it is just a simple movie, it may be difficult to hit a larger market, in this case, the box office may not be ideal." ”
What Wang Duoyu said was actually quite euphemistic.
In the early days, the domestic market was not without main theme movies, not only there were, but there were quite a few.
But most of them didn't end well, and those who could recover their costs at the box office were considered to have good results.
As for making a big profit?
Seldom!
Less poor kind!
Wu Jing said that the market was blank, it was all.
What market is blank, it is obvious that the capital can't see the money and stop playing.
If this type of movie can make a lot of money, you can see how the capital is copied.
Wu Jing also understood what Wang Duoyu meant, but he was not discouraged.
Because he had inquired about one thing before he came.
Those who come to Wang Duoyu for investment, as long as Wang Duoyu agrees to meet him, there is no one who has not been invested!
Wang Duoyu is willing to see himself, which is equivalent to having an investment intention.
As long as you are firm, you will definitely be able to attract investment!
"Mr. Wang, others can't succeed, that's because their utilitarianism is too heavy, and the quality control of the movie is not in place, but I believe in myself, although I am the first time to be a director, but I have that confidence, I will be able to grasp the quality of this movie, and the actors used to shoot this movie will definitely have good military literacy, and there will be no professional mistakes! And ....."
Wu Jing talked eloquently, he tried his best to prove his confidence in this movie, as well as the planning of this movie.
Wang Duoyu also nodded from time to time, as if agreeing with his statement.
After Wu Jing finished speaking, Wang Duoyu nodded thoughtfully.
"What you said makes a lot of sense, and it sounds like that, but I've read this script, and there's actually a lot of room for improvement."
Hearing this, Wu Jing was anxious.
"Mr. Wang, the setting of this script is already at the border, if it goes up, I'm afraid it won't be filmed, unless it develops internationally, but in that case, the investment may be relatively large."
Wang Duoyu also seemed to be persuaded by Wu Jing's words.
He frowned slightly, as if wondering whether to invest.
In Wu Jing's nervous gaze, Wang Duoyu sighed.
"But I still don't think it's perfect."
Wu Jing also showed a touch of disappointment when she heard Wang Duoyu's words.
Will he be the first to be rejected by Wang Duoyu for investment? Grass, isn't that a shame and a big haircut?
However, at this moment, Wang Duoyu suddenly said: "But I think your idea is very good, it's better to vote for you in this movie, but you have to sign a contract for two movies, the next step is to call Wolf Warrior 2, when the script is set abroad, what do you think?" ”
Wu Jing: !
I grass!
I just pulled the investment in a movie, how can I pay back the whole series???
Is he so optimistic about this script?
No, now the living environment of the main theme movies in China is very poor, Wang Duoyu should not like his own script.
He believes in me!
Wu Jing realized.... What a fart!
He looked at Wang Duoyu suspiciously.
Although for a moment, he felt that it was his personality charm that made Wang Duoyu decide to invest in two movies, but he was a very sober person and knew that some things could not be as simple as he thought.
Wang Duoyu said this, there must be other reasons.
Wang Duoyu saw that Wu Jing didn't speak, and knew that he was suspicious.
Seeing that this kid was not as good as Chen Sicheng, he also said at the moment:
"Actually, I've read your screenwriter's book, and it's really good, and it's still very good if it's adapted into a movie, and your current script has traces of adaptation, right?"
Wu Jing nodded.
Wang Duoyu continued: "But if it's just an adaptation of a movie, the market feedback is very small, so in order not to let my money go down the drain, I can only sign your investment in two movies in one go, the biggest advantage of this is that no matter what the first part is, there is a second part to help around, at that time you should also be a mature director, I believe you will not let me down, at least, it should not let my money go down the drain." ”
Wu Jing also nodded after listening to Wang Duoyu's words.
Wang Duoyu said very truthfully.
He is the owner of a company, so it is impossible to say that he only invests according to his own preferences.
At least I haven't heard of any other boss doing this.
He will definitely be responsible for his investments.
Losing money?
That's not what a good boss would do.
Instead of expecting a director who has just debuted to become popular in his first movie, it is better to count on his mature self in the future to help Wang Duoyu make money with his second movie.
Thinking of this, Wu Jing also nodded at Wang Duoyu.
"I understand Mr. Wang, I'll sign it!"
Hearing this, Wang Duoyu's face also showed a smile.
He held out his hand and said, "Happy cooperation"
Wu Jing held Wang Duoyu's hand, and a smile also appeared on her face.
"Happy working together!"
In fact, according to Wu Jing's idea, it makes sense.
I can't see any traces of Wang Duoyu pit him at all, at most, he has an extreme personality and likes to gamble a little, betting that his next movie will definitely make money.
But he couldn't have imagined that Wang Duoyu knew the future trend.
Know the box office results of his second film.....
Even, when the two shook hands, Wang Duoyu was already thinking about how to market Wolf Warrior 2, so that this movie could once again reproduce the miracle box office in his memory.
signed the investment in Wu Jing's two films, and Wang Duoyu was in a good mood.
After sending Wu Jing away, Wang Duoyu hummed a little song and lay on the seat.
I don't know why, he always felt empty in his heart, as if he had forgotten something.....
His brow furrowed slightly, what the hell is it....
After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't come up with the result, so Wang Duoyu called Elsa directly.
After Elsa arrived at the office, Wang Duoyu also asked directly: "Has Wu Jing's contract been signed?" ”
"After signing Mr. Wang, both movies have been signed."
"Then you repeat the company's recent work arrangement for me."
"Okay Mr. Wang, the company has ...... recently"
Elsa methodically told Wang Duoyu about the company's recent work priorities.
For example, what kind of marketing, which movie paved the way for the release, and how the progress of each movie was, all repeated.
After listening to this, Wang Duoyu still felt that he had forgotten something, and couldn't help but say curiously: "Have I promised anything before?" ”
Hearing this, Elsa also thought about it, and then looked at Wang Duoyu with a hint of weirdness on her face.
"Mr. Wang, there is indeed such a thing."
"What?"
"You promised Deng Chao a movie lead when you were filming "Charlotte's Troubles" before..... Do you give it back? ”
"This is a ....... Well?!
! ”
Wang Duoyu finally knew what he had forgotten.
"Shadow"!
Wang Duoyu felt embarrassed when he let Deng Chao go before, so he planned to make up for Deng Chao with a movie.
He thought about it for a long time at that time before he thought of this movie.
You can win awards, and you can also get a good reputation.
The key is that this is an adapted script, and he doesn't need to write it at all, just buy the copyright and let people make it a little filmed.
As a result, because of the events of the Deng Dynasty later, Wang Duoyu had no intention of cooperating with him at all, so he directly forgot about this matter!
If Elsa hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have remembered.
After all, how could the current Wang Duoyu cooperate with the Deng Dynasty!
Thinking of this, Wang Duoyu also said to Elsa: "You go to find an author called "Jingzhou Killing", and ask him to buy the film and television adaptation rights of "Jingzhou Killing". ”
"Okay, Mr. Wang."
Hearing Wang Duoyu's words, Elsa also hurriedly went down to buy the copyright.
Looking at the back of Elsa leaving, Wang Duoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Zhang Yimou just said that this film gave him some inspiration when he filmed "Shadow".
However, in order to avoid some disputes, Wang Duoyu plans to buy it directly.
Besides, Zhang Yimou said that he was inspired, and he bought it back to polish it, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to write this script?
It's not like I haven't watched the original film!
Although the rating of the movie "Shadow" on Douban is not high, Wang Duoyu doesn't mind, because he still remembers what he said when he watched this movie.
The national style of ink painting was played by Lao Mouzi, which is clear.
As for the rating?
Douban's score is basically understood.
I can watch it when it is just released, and I can just have fun at other times.
Wang Duoyu has a lot of movies that have just been released and rushed to eight points, and the ratings have dropped after they were broadcast on the Internet.
Wang Duoyu was curious about why this was the case, and he went to study the score of Douban.
After all, if it is not dropped when it is released, it will be released next, which will inevitably make Wang Duoyu wonder if his movie is not quite in line with the public's appetite, but only in line with the appetite of some moviegoers.
But after researching, Wang Duoyu found ..... It's fake, it's purely that some people have been kneeling for a long time and can't stand up.
The top 205 movies on Douban score, of which only two are on the domestic list in recent years.
"Let the Bullets Fly", "I Am Not the God of Medicine"
The biggest thing these two movies have in common is the ridicule.
On the other hand, in other countries, there are all kinds of age.
What does this mean, everyone who understands it.
Of course, it's not just the shepherd's pot, it's also the pot of some losers.
In fact, there are still a lot of movies on the list in China, such as many movies shot by Zhou Xingxing, and some old movies in the seventies and eighties.
Anyway, in recent years, there has been.
Even if it was a box office explosion and there was a lot of praise from the people, he just didn't make the list.
For those 'film critics' who like to score and like to talk at length about a movie, the previous ones are better anyway.
Wang Duoyu also looked for a few and found that.... Good mom.
There are indeed some good ones, but there are some Wang Duoyu that are really not good.
Just because the director won an award abroad with this movie, so it's good?
Just because the director of the movie is good, so it's good?
Wang Duoyu didn't quite understand.
What is the difference between this and those failures in life who like to complain, change jobs when they have nothing to do, and then lament that the job at hand is never as good as the previous one?
Anyway, it is to reflect your high taste, and now people are vulgar?
Even if some movies are rushed by fans for more than eight points in a short period of time, you are still not convinced, you have to bring someone down, can't you tarnish the perfect list in your heart?
So for the scoring thing, Wang Duoyu has always been just used as a bargaining chip to attract ordinary audiences, brush it when it is released, and wait for the next screening, whatever you want.
"Charlotte's Troubles" was almost blown into a myth by Wang Duoyu during the release, and the Douban score soared by 8.5.
As a result, it has been released for less than a month, and it has dropped directly to 7.8.
.........
Elsa moved quickly and returned to the company with her contract that afternoon.
After all, it's just a film and television adaptation right, so it doesn't mean that you can't get it, as long as you add some money, it's normal to get it faster.
Elsa knows very well that what Wang Duoyu asks for must be very optimistic.
In this case, add money and you're done.
"Mr. Wang, this is the adaptation right you want."
"Well, I see, tell the other screenwriters in the company to come to me."
"Okay, Mr. Wang."
Soon, all the current editors of the company came to Wang Duoyu's office.
Wang Duoyu first let them watch "Jingzhou Killing" again.
This one is only a hundred thousand words, and several people read it quickly.
Then Wang Duoyu told them his thoughts.
Then I started writing the script for the whole movie with them.
Because Wang Duoyu has the existence of the finished effect in his memory, he can quickly point out something wrong in the process of writing.
In just one afternoon, Wang Duoyu led everyone to complete a small half of the compilation.
In the next few days, Wang Duoyu edited it again with everyone.
I found that it was almost finished as I remembered.
After the script was completed, Wang Duoyu contacted Zhang Yimou as soon as possible.
This guy is still studying the special effects of "The Legend of Di Xin" with Jiang Wen and Xu Laowei.
However, if you make a movie with a doppelganger, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Provided that he is willing.
At first, Zhang Yimou refused to receive a call from Wang Duoyu.
Obviously, at the beginning of the cooperation, they just needed to cooperate on a "Biography of Di Xin".
As a result, I went to shoot "Parasite" halfway through.
Fortunately, this movie has a bumper harvest at the word-of-mouth box office, so Zhang Yimou didn't say anything.
But now that "The Legend of Di Xin" has finally finished filming, and then he has nothing to do with himself after filming the TV series, this guy is going to find himself to make a movie?
Zhang Yimou is not a person who has no company background, how can he always work for Wang Duoyu.....
Although Wang Duoyu is very well paid, Zhang Yimou is not a person who is short of money!
has been working for Wang Duoyu like this, he is very faceless!
But when he saw the script sent to him by Wang Duoyu, Zhang Yimou still hesitated.....
"Mr. Wang, this script feels a little familiar to me."
Because it was a telephone chat, Wang Duoyu couldn't see Zhang Yimou's expression.
But the surprise in Zhang Yimou's tone, Wang Duoyu heard it clearly.
Oh, little sample, it would be strange if you didn't look familiar!
Wang Duoyu remembered that Zhang Yimou once publicly stated that he had been preparing for the script of "Shadow" since the second half of 13 years.
It's just that it has been delayed until 16 years.
Wang Duoyu doesn't know how far Zhang Yimou's planning for this script has reached now, but there must be some progress.
Give it to him at this time, he must feel familiar!
Fortunately, Wang Duoyu had already anticipated Zhang Yimou's reaction and said: "Director Zhang, this script is the screenwriter of my company and adapted from "Jingzhou Killing", you won't have seen this, right?" ”
"Jingzhou Killing"? No wonder, I also saw this some time ago. ”
"How about Director Zhang? Got an idea? ”
"Mr. Wang, give me some time to think about it."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
Hung up the phone, Wang Duoyu had a hint of confidence on his face.
Fortunately, he pulled Zhang Yimou into the water to shoot "The Legend of Di Xin" last year, otherwise he might have written more than half of the script at this time, and it would be difficult for him to break with him.
But after reading this script, Lao Mouzi should be able to shoot it, right?
It's not been a day or two since he wanted to shoot the Chinese style of ink painting, and this script should be very much in line with his ideas.
