496. New work arrangement, Hollywood giants come to the door!
After a while, Zheng Wenzhong, who also lives here, also knocked on the door and came in!
Wen Yixiao personally opened the door for Zheng Wenzhong, and then quickly turned around and carefully helped Wang Cheng clean up.
Zheng Wenzhong also carried a little New Year's gift in his hand, thinking of coming to Wang Cheng to pay a New Year's greeting.
However, he stood in the doorway and froze.
He never dreamed of it......
When you come to Wang Cheng's house, you will see such a scene.
Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao, An Keru, Lin Mi, Xia Xi, these are all goddesses that he never dreamed of, and now they are all gathered here in Wang Cheng, and they are all enjoying Wang Cheng's cleaning, and they are all scrambling to do the work!
"It's worthy of Wang Cheng!"
Zheng Wenzhong sighed in his heart, glanced at Yu Jinghong, who was the only one sitting there, put down the gift in his hand, smiled at Yu Jinghong, and then walked to the study and saw Wang Cheng sitting inside reading a book, and said with a smile: "Wang Cheng, Happy New Year!" Congratulations on the movie hit! ”
Wang Cheng nodded to Zheng Wenzhong, pointed to the chair in the study, and said lightly, "Sit." ”
Zheng Wenzhong smiled, sat down naturally, and said, "I really envy you, so many people have volunteered to come over to help you clean up!" ”
Wang Cheng glanced at Zheng Wenzhong and didn't speak, knowing what the other party envied.
With Zheng Wenzhong's identity, there are naturally many people of the opposite sex who are willing to post it and do anything, but all of them are definitely for his money.
And Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao, An Keru, Lin Mi, Xia Xi and others who came to Wang Cheng here today, absolutely none of them came for Wang Cheng's money.
Even, if Wang Cheng is willing to nod, these people will definitely willingly hand over all their money to Wang Cheng.
That's the gap!
Zheng Wenzhong saw that Wang Cheng didn't speak, so he changed the topic and said: "Spring Festival stalls, your Matrix Empire is crazy. Lao Jiang's movies have been pressed by you at least half of the box office. I heard that Lao Jiang was sulking at home and didn't go out for the whole Spring Festival, and started to study the next movie. Other production companies have started the establishment of science fiction movies, and they all say that your matrix has opened a new era of Chinese science fiction movies! ”
"Awesome!"
Wang Cheng listened, still calm and didn't speak.
Zheng Wenzhong smiled to relieve his embarrassment, he was used to Wang Cheng's ignorance, and said: "My father also gave me a sum of money, wanted to play in the entertainment industry, and established a film company." Do you want to be together? As long as you take a stake in the Matrix's movie rights, I'll give you a controlling stake. We have invested billions of dollars in this company, and we also have our own theater support behind us, so when the movie is made, we won't have to worry about having nowhere to release it. ”
Obviously, Zheng Wenzhong is eyeing the Matrix.
This is now a mountain of gold coveted by anyone in the entire Chinese entertainment industry.
The box office of the Spring Festival stalls alone exceeded 4 billion in seven days, and it is possible for the follow-up box office to exceed 6 billion, and the word of mouth is extremely explosive, it is conceivable that once the sequel is filmed, it will definitely become popular, and then operate it well, the sequel series of this movie is enough to feed a large company, and the upstream and downstream benefits generated are at least 10 billion.
The Zheng family has its own cinema, which is the second largest cinema in China, second only to the first cinema of the national brand, and has long wanted to enter the entertainment industry to become an upstream production company and make money by making movies.
Now the Matrix is undoubtedly the best entry point, once the sequel copyright of the Matrix is obtained, then the Zheng family's entertainment company will immediately be able to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, and even become a significant large company.
The company that invested one billion yuan gave Wang Cheng a controlling stake, which is equivalent to giving away more than 500 million benefits in vain, plus most of the subsequent profits of the entire company, in comparison, it seems that the conditions are higher than Qin Yuhai's.
However, this is just a new company, and the resources and benefits actually paid are not as high as those of Rubik's Cube.
And Yu Jinghong, who was standing at the door and heard Zheng Wenzhong speak, suddenly said: "Wang Cheng, Penguin Entertainment also sincerely wants to cooperate with you to develop the sequel to the Matrix and its surroundings, we have the most mature upstream and downstream industrial chain in the country, and can perfectly develop the copyright potential of the Matrix." For example, authorizing Penguin Games to make Matrix games, such as authorizing Penguin Video to shoot the web series of The Matrix, etc.! I won't talk about other portrait dolls or the like, this one is too simple. ”
"We're willing to pay 200 million, plus a 10% share of all revenues, to develop this series with you! The price is very high. ”
Yu Jinghong said seriously that she came to see Wang Cheng today for the copyright of the Matrix.
If it weren't for the default in the circle not to disturb Wang Cheng's Spring Festival holiday, Yu Jinghong would have gone to Wang Cheng's house to talk.
After all, the box office of the Matrix is becoming more and more popular day by day, and everyone can't sit still, but because of Wang Cheng's temper and character, they all forced the ninja not to disturb Wang Cheng.
As soon as Wang Cheng appeared today, he naturally came to contact Wang Cheng as soon as possible, wanting to talk about the copyright of the Matrix as soon as possible.
It's just that......
Wang Cheng glanced at the two of them and said lightly: "Qin Yuhai also talked to me about the sequel copyright just now, and my answer is to wait for the movie to be released." ”
Zheng Wenzhong and Yu Jinghong glanced at each other, and then stopped mentioning it.
They knew that if Wang Cheng made a decision, then no one could change it, and no one else could buy the sequel copyright from Wang Cheng. They just need to keep an eye on it, and when they know that Wang Cheng intends to sell, they will come over and bid as soon as possible.
At lunchtime, Wang Cheng cooked a meal by himself again, and everyone stayed here for Wang Cheng to eat......
Finish eating!
Lin Mi took the initiative to step forward and said to Wang Cheng: "Wang Cheng, can I have a small interview with you?" Now a lot of people in the outside world want to know about you! ”
Xia Xi said softly: "The company accepted Lin Mi's interview invitation. ”
Wang Cheng listened, nodded, then sat on the chair in the living room and said softly, "It's time to start!" ”
Wen Yixiao and the others cleaned up the kitchen together and looked at Wang Cheng curiously.
Wang Cheng hasn't left the country for a long time, and he hasn't said anything in an interview, and fans from the outside world have been thinking about it for a long time.
Although Wang Cheng didn't say anything to move and excited fans in the previous interview, fans didn't ask Wang Cheng to say good things about them, they just wanted Wang Cheng to come out and talk.
Lin Mi turned on the phone camera and pointed it at Wang Cheng, and then said, "Then let's start." ”
Wang Cheng nodded.
Lin Micai continued to ask: "Wang Cheng, this Matrix movie, you wrote, directed, and acted by yourself?" ”
Wang Cheng: "Hmm! ”
Lin Mi: "How did you do this?" A person wears many hats, and it only took three months to complete this movie that amazed all audiences? ”
Wang Cheng: "That's it!" ”
Forehead......
A few people froze for a while, but then they got used to it, this is Wang Cheng.
Lin Mi: "As far as I know, you are not only the director, protagonist and screenwriter in the movie, but you are also in charge of the post-production, such as the soundtrack, editing, and special effects!" Is this true? ”
Wang Cheng did not deny it, and said truthfully: "Yes! In order to get the job done as quickly as possible, I had to do it myself. ”
When he said this, everyone else was speechless.
However, An Keru, Zhang Hanwen, and Xia Xi participated in the filming of The Matrix throughout the process, so they knew that what Wang Cheng said was true.
Wang Cheng is extremely efficient!
The editing soundtrack that other people need a month to complete, Wang Cheng completed it in two days, and the effect is excellent.
Zheng Wenzhong didn't dare to come out on the side, he just felt that he was really a waste.
Lin Mi continued to ask: "I heard that there are several overseas companies that want to buy the distribution rights and adaptation rights of The Matrix, have you considered taking this movie overseas for release and adaptation?" ”
Several people pricked up their ears to listen.
If this movie is released overseas, then actors such as An Keru and Zhang Hanwen will be able to appear internationally, although they may not be popular, but they can also be hyped to become international superstars in China.
However, several people are curious that this movie is so popular in China, is it possible to go abroad?
In recent years, none of the domestic film and television works have gone to sea and have been very successful.
Zheng Wenzhong and Yu Jinghong are thinking that the results of this movie after it goes to sea will also affect the value of the sequel, and if the box office is also very good, then the value of the sequel is bound to increase.
Wang Cheng replied softly: "If they bid the right price, of course I would like my work to be released overseas!" ”
Lin Mi: "Then do you think the overseas box office will be successful?" ”
Wang Cheng: "Of course! ”
Confidence as always.
However, several people did not have such confidence as Wang Cheng after listening to it, after all, the results of domestic films abroad are very average, and it can even be said that they hit the street.
Even if Wang Cheng has been doing impossible things, and the Matrix is so popular in China, they still don't think that this movie can become popular when it goes to sea, it is too difficult.
The cultural and linguistic barrier, as well as the arrogance of most audiences in Europe and the United States, make it difficult for Chinese films to move overseas.
Lin Mi: "I also believe that the Matrix will be successful overseas. So, Wang Cheng, what will be your work arrangements next? Most fans want you to continue filming the sequel to The Matrix and want to know if the protagonist saves the world in the end! ”
Wang Cheng said calmly: "I don't really want to continue making films, and I may accept some light work." ”
Lin Mi: "I don't really want to make a movie? Including a sequel to The Matrix? ”
Everyone pricked up their ears.
Especially Zheng Wenzhong and Yu Jinghong, their eyes are shining, Wang Cheng doesn't want to shoot, then they can buy it at a high price.
And An Keru and Zhang Hanwen both frowned a little, if Wang Cheng stopped filming, would Wang Cheng still star in the sequel? Do they still have a sequel? Zhang Hanwen is just a supporting role, dispensable, but Wang Cheng is the male protagonist, and An Keru is the heroine!
If Wang Cheng doesn't act, won't the sequel to this movie have to change the protagonist?
This is a big no-no for the sequel!
Unless it is rebooted, there is no sequel to a series that has a chance of success after changing the protagonist.
But the sequel hasn't been filmed yet, so it's restarted directly, isn't this looking for scolding?
Several people thought about it, and they all felt that this series seemed to be a little difficult.
Wang Cheng nodded: "Yes!" It's so tiring to make a movie! ”
Lin Mi: "What about the song?" The few songs you posted during the Spring Festival surprised all the fans, and so did I, listening to your songs throughout the Spring Festival. Would you still consider continuing to post songs? ”
Wang Cheng: "I haven't considered it for the time being!" ”
Lin Mi: "What about literary works?" Have you been inspired by ancient poetry lately? ”
Wang Cheng: "I don't know! ”
Lin Mi: "Then will you be on a variety show?" ”
Wang Cheng: "Maybe!" ”
Wang Cheng replied ambiguously one by one, Lin Mi was not angry, nor did he force the other party to comply aggressively like he did in the face of other celebrities and artists before, everything went according to Wang Cheng's rhythm, and Wang Cheng said whatever he said.
After the interview together, except for saying that he didn't want to make movies, Wang Cheng didn't say anything substantial.
Of course, this is enough to detonate the domestic entertainment industry.
After the interview, Wang Cheng went to take a nap, and the others naturally said goodbye one after another, and would not continue to stay here to disturb Wang Cheng's rest.
Only Wang Cheng's assistant Xia Xi stayed.
In the afternoon, as soon as Wang Cheng woke up, Xia Xi came over and said, "Director Shen said that I will bring a representative of a Hollywood production company to meet with you later to talk about the cooperation on the distribution rights and adaptation rights of the Matrix." ”
Wang Cheng washed his face, mumbled, and didn't speak, obviously looking at people who didn't want to see these foreign companies.
He said all the conditions, if you agree, you will cooperate, and if you don't agree, forget it!
There's nothing to talk about when we meet.
Xia Xi continued to say to Wang Cheng: "Now there are several variety show invitations, CCTV's traditional culture, Dragon TV's music program, Xiangnan Satellite TV's singing program, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV's interview game variety show, and Penguin Entertainment invited to participate in a talent show variety show, inviting you to serve as a mentor." ”
Xia Xi said, while pouring a cup of tea for Wang Cheng, Wang Cheng took a sip of the teacup, and said softly: "CCTV's, the cultural program is more relaxed!" ”
Music programs, singing programs have to be performed, it's too tiring. Interview game shows are more tiring, and they are messy, and Wang Cheng doesn't like it.
In the end, Penguin Entertainment's talent show invited Wang Cheng to serve as a mentor, but Wang Cheng was even more uninterested, too tired!
There are only cultural variety shows, which are simpler, Wang Cheng goes up and sits for a while, and then writes a few words and it's over.
In comparison, writing is much easier than variety shows such as singing and games.
……
And at this time.
Outside, a business car stopped at the door, and Shen Shenghui stepped out of the car.
A car stopped behind, and two middle-aged men, a foreigner and a Chinese, two representatives of the famous Hollywood giant company Snow Mountain Film and Television, came to see Wang Cheng in person, and wanted to talk to Wang Cheng about the copyright of the Matrix in person, and wanted to tell Wang Cheng face to face what their company's introduction of the Matrix Empire to overseas Chinese films would mean to Wang Cheng!
"Let's go, you two, Wang Cheng may not be interested in your proposal, you should be mentally prepared in advance! I have conveyed all the conditions proposed by Wang Cheng to you. ”
Shen Shenghui said to the two.
Speaking in broken Mandarin, the foreigner said, "I believe I can convince him to agree to our terms." Director Shen, the box office share he asked for, is impossible ......" (end of chapter)
