Chapter 384: Candidates for the New Movie

"Hey, Lao Zhou, good evening~"

"Boss Liu, good evening! Your business is full today, haha!"

The two middle-aged men who knew Jiang Kan greeted each other from afar, and after they got closer, they hugged each other and patted each other's shoulders to show affection.

"Hehe, I'll tell you the good news, the script of our movie has been completed!"

Lao Zhou took out a roll of A4 paper rolled together from the small bag on his waist, handed it to Liu Zhiheng, and then took advantage of the other party's reading to get two bottles of beer and began to drink.

After a while, Liu Zhiheng finished reading the rough content, and there was excitement in his eyes.

"Yes, this story is very well written! As soon as the goalkeeper of the down-and-out football team was kicked out of the team, a mysterious person came to tell him that his uncle had left him a large inheritance overseas, and then gave him two options, one was to inherit his 30 billion assets after spending 1 billion in a month, and the other was to inherit only 10 million without challenging content......

Looking at Boss Liu's excited expression, Lao Zhou also felt very proud, after all, it was the screenwriter he spent a lot of money to write the script for them, and he had specially invited some industry veterans to help with the staff, and they all said that this plot was very good and would definitely attract the attention of a large number of audiences

"Very good, I can't wait to see the finished movie after reading this script!"

Boss Liu also picked up the wine glass and took a big sip.

"Then Boss Liu thinks it's okay to continue?"

"Of course, this script is a bit like an old movie from Omi's side, called ...... What or something is a million-dollar windfall? This is adapted from him, but it's not bad, it fits the atmosphere of our current times and living environment. Director, have you figured out who to find? Is there a choice for the protagonist?"

Once he got down to business, the smile on Liu Zhiheng's face, who had always been smiling, disappeared, and was replaced by the professionalism and momentum of a multi-billion net worth of a large company with 10,000 employees.

Lao Zhou also felt the change in his momentum, and he was not surprised, after all, he and Liu Zhiheng were also players of the same rank, and there was also a large enterprise group with a market value of billions under his hands, so he and Liu Zhiheng were sympathetic to each other.

"If you want to be a director, I think you can find director Hu Zibin, his "Picturesque World" has been filmed and will be released soon, and it will be empty soon."

Lao Zhou put forward his own candidate reference, and at this stage, the two are just discussing it, because they are jointly funded and filmed, so it is impossible for him to do anything.

"Picturesque? Isn't that the costume movie that Brother Kan participated in? I don't know much about Director Hu...... Is he good at making modern films?"

Liu Zhiheng was stunned when he heard this, and then quickly searched for the name in his mind, only to feel very familiar.

Then he remembered that Jiang Kan didn't shoot in his crew before, and he was also a male number three.

"That's quite good, and his previous films "Tales of City People" and "Catch the Flying Thief" both won the Best Picture Award that year, and both won more than 300 million box office - although the cost is quite high, but it is true that the box office and awards are making a lot of money."

"Okay, then I'll go back and watch these two movies first, I think Lao Zhou's recommendation must be no problem, haha."

After chatting about the director, the two began to study the selection of actors.

Liu Zhiheng proposed to invite the most popular domestic comedian Fuji Zifu to play the leading role.

Lao Zhou also agreed, but the only problem is that the actor has become popular all the way recently, and the salary has already exceeded 20 million, and they only plan to invest a total of 30 million, will this salary be too high?

"Hehe, Lao Zhou, you don't have to worry, Fuji Zifu accepted some help from our company by mistake when he first started filming, and at that time, he promised to show his gratitude that if he became popular, he could star in a movie made by my company at the price of the movie he made at that time."

Liu Zhiheng spoke

The old things of the year, I can't help but show a nostalgic smile on my face.

"Oh? Is there still this relationship between you and him?"

Lao Zhou also glared in surprise, and turned his head to look at Boss Liu, who was full of pride.

"Of course, is it good for me to lie to you?"

Liu Zhiheng happily took a sip of the cocktail in the glass and said to Lao Zhou with a little ostentation.

"And what was his salary for that movie at the time?"

Lao Zhou asked curiously, he also wanted to know how much this new Golden Rooster actor was worth when he was not popular.

"Haha, I can't tell you this, we also have to take care of the face of other actors."

"Ha, Boss Liu, you're really tight-lipped...... But it must not be much."

"It's not much, after all, it was his second movie at that time, and it was also the first movie in which he was the protagonist, and it was originally based on not making money to earn fame first, so naturally he didn't ask too much for the salary."

"Then, this time, we can also invite him at such a low price?"

"It depends on whether we will continue to engage in the film industry in the future."

"Oh? What do you mean by that?"

"If you want to continue making movies, you can't be so short-sighted and eat a fat man in one bite."

"If it's just a whim to play a ticket, and you won't touch the film industry again, then naturally it's okay to just give him that price."

"Oh, I understand, hahahaha, Boss Liu, your ambitions are not small, do you really plan to enter the film and television industry in the future?"

"Well, haha, it's not clear what we'll do in the future, but we can't really take the promises made when people didn't make a career before to ask for retribution, really only give people such a big actor such a low salary, right? Isn't that really a slap in the face, making people think that our style is just like that?"

"Of course you can't do that, but since you said so, you can't definitely give him the salary he is shouting out now? And how much are you going to give him?"

"Of course, it will definitely not be 20 million, he is now popular, and the premium is too serious. That's it, Lao Zhou, if we choose him to be the protagonist for this role, then no matter what salary I negotiate with him, he will appear in this film as if I had the funds I said before, what do you think?".

"Oh? How else can this be done? Okay, Boss Liu is really powerful! If you have the ability, it is your ability to negotiate the 20 million into 5 million or 500,000! It's like the 5 million investment we said before!"

The two big bosses were in a corner of the tavern, and they negotiated the details of a movie with a total investment of 30 million.

Including the other actors, the choice of filming location, the distribution of power and jurisdiction between the two in the crew, etc.

After that, it was a separate action, specifically raising the formation of the crew of this movie, and I will not list it here.

Another half a month has passed.

The end of June has arrived, and the weather in Yangcheng is also getting hotter and hotter day by day.

A recently popular Cantonese TV series has also been adapted into their dialects and Mandarin in various places, setting off a trend of watching dramas in the domestic market of Xia Kingdom.

Although the boss of the Wang family's new game "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" sold 700,000 units in two months with the help of Jiang Kan's promotional song "Butterfly Love", it has now reached the eighth place in domestic stand-alone game sales last year.

But the grades of his younger brothers also surpassed the grades set by his father early.

"Talking and Laughing" was released at the end of June, and the total box office reached 64 million Xia Guoyuan, creating a martial arts myth that shocked movie coupons.

And "Return to Daqin" has created a small ratings miracle in China, and even in the Xia language circle in Southeast Asia, and even together with the popular national IP drama "The Legend of the New White Snake", it has dominated the first and second places in the current national drama ratings!

When Mr. Xia of Thundering Film and Television saw the national ratings of 2.9%, he was so happy that he couldn't believe that this was really happening, in front of everyone

"Papa" slapped himself twice and grinned in pain, only to realize that this was really not a dream!

You must know that there are too many good-looking things on mobile phones on the Internet now, and there are still a few families watching TV dramas in front of the TV every day, and the general TV series have a rating of about 2.2%.

Therefore, in view of the overall contributions and achievements made by the three brothers in the entertainment industry, Mr. Wang finally chose to hand over the management of the family business to his youngest son after comprehensive consideration.

The boss game company is obsessed with making stand-alone games, and stubbornly unwilling to transform into online games, which has already exploded, and has lost a lot of market share and opportunities, so that the performance of Fengming Entertainment, which was originally one of the giants in the game industry, is declining day by day.

The second son is more than calm, not pioneering, and he asked him to shoot such an outdated movie type of martial arts movie, not that he is really a martial arts idiot, and he wants to see a martial arts movie he loves before he retires to revitalize the rivers and lakes.

He just wanted to see if the second honest boy would question his decision, unwilling to waste the funds of the family business and invest it in a movie that was destined to achieve nothing and may even lead to big losses.

Fortunately, the second child, like the eldest child, was lucky to rely on the help of Jiang Kan, the most popular singer and songwriter at the moment, to get a hit at the box office.

Similarly, although he felt that the second son did not make a rebellious and assertive opinion that impressed him, he was actually very pleased that this child was still a good child who listened to his own words, so that the older he was, the more suspicious he became, and he breathed a sigh of relief and relieved his heart.

But although the boss is skilled in business, he is old-fashioned and stubborn. Although the second child is loyal, obedient and filial, he is conservative and does not know how to be flexible......

None of these are the ideal qualities of the successor he wants.

As for the third child, he gave him the least restrictions, but the difficulty of the challenge was also the highest.

He just wants to see what kind of limit his clever and innovative little son can reach when he only has no limit to his goals.

As a result, whether it is in the choice of subject matter, it pulls down funds beyond the target, or persuades well-known actors to star with low salaries...... and so on, he greatly exceeded his expectations.

Moreover, in today's society, TV dramas are the easiest and longest-lasting media form to shape the nation, traffic, and topics.

Therefore, after thinking about it again, Comrade Wang still passed the seat to the third child, ending this dispute within the family that lasted for many years.

Not to mention that the competition for the family throne of the three brothers of the Wang family is over.

Jiang Kan has completed the composition, lyrics and arrangement of the songs "The Difficult Sutra" and "The Love of My Life", and recorded the accompaniment.

Then I found a day when I felt that I was in a good state and recorded the singing part, and after proper sound repair and debugging, I sent it to Guangming Film and Mars Pictures.

Because of the great success brought by Jiang Kan's three works before, the heads of these two companies are like treasures, and as soon as they get the finished products, they let the people in the marketing department start the vigorous promotion of their own film and television dramas in the name of Jiang Kan's works.

Therefore, whether it is the audience of these two movies and series, or other film and television companies that have plans to shoot and distribute in the near future, they will focus their attention on these two works that have not yet been launched/released.

The audience was curious about what kind of surprise Jiang Kan would bring them.

But those film and television companies saw huge business opportunities from it, and planned to wait and see whether Jiang Kan's influence was worthy of the name.

However, some of the companies already felt that they had seen the reality clearly, and began to submit new orders to Feiyang Entertainment Yangcheng Branch, and pointed out that Jiang Kan must be responsible for the creation and singing of the song, saying that they did not lack two million production fees and one million singing fees.

For a while, the company was full of happy atmosphere, and they were all talking about it.

But the wrinkles on Manager An's head did not decrease much because of this.

Employees stand low and can't see the essence of the matter.

And he, who is the leader, sees that those companies are only coming to Jiang Kan, not their branch itself.

Jiang Kan only stayed here for a year, and sooner or later he would go back to report on his work.

Now there are so many companies looking for him to customize songs, and after he goes back, he will definitely be full of achievements and become an official.

But as soon as he left, the situation here was still like this, and those companies would stop cooperating with them again because Jiang Kan was gone, and either go to Rongcheng to find Jiang Kan, or change to another large local company to produce their songs.

So these days he is also happy and miserable, feeling like he is drinking to quench his thirst and die slowly.

"Hey, Uncle Cousin, the weather is so good today, why are you sad early in the morning?"

Xiang Ping pushed the door in without saying hello as usual, and as soon as she came in, she saw her cousin holding his chin with one hand, looking out the window with a sad face, his face full of unhappiness.
