Chapter Twenty-Seven: I Have a Request
A dinner is a joy for both guests and hosts.
It's a pity that after eating and driving Sister Lin back to Eying Studio, Xuluo didn't get the benefits as he wished.
Chen Xiaoxu didn't even hug him and say goodbye, he got out of the car and ran to the guest house, which made Xuluo sigh.
Today's limelight is out in vain, even the girl. Not a single hug was received.
Of course, more is naturally happy.
On the one hand, he got two precious movie scripts, and on the other hand, he also proved one thing.
If when the future memory is opened, at the end of the movie and TV series that you "watched", a song appears.
If the title of the song is just appearing, no one has created the song yet.
If you write a songwriter, you've already written it, but this song is also classic and important, so try to use it.
For example, the theme song "I Don't Want to Say" of the previous "Alien Girl" is like this.
Han Sanping found the songwriter and determined that the copyright was in their hands, so he bought it directly and used it.
The voice of the girl singing the song is very sweet, and it is exactly the voice she heard.
With this guarantee, Xuluo is sure that there will be a very good icing on the cake effect for "Alien Girl".
It's like "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" is the same as "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun".
In the next few days, Xuluo wrote two scripts seriously at home.
Chen Xiaoxu was dragged together by Brother Bao, who was already free, and went to find the actors and friends in the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions".
Ouyang Fenqiang knew Chen Xiaoxu's problem, so after watching her finish the TV series, he found more people to accompany her and try to make her happy.
"Once Upon a Time: Top Gun" and "Red Fan Zone" are complete finished movies, and Xuluo only needs to repeat them.
So it didn't take much time.
Three days after Cai Yongchang's room, Xuluo met him again in the teahouse.
Seeing the two thick scripts handed over by Xuluo, Cai Yongchang was very happy: "Mr. Xu, don't worry, as long as my cousin reads it, we will immediately fulfill our promise and will not treat you badly!" ”
"Money or something, it's a trivial matter." Xuluo smiled and said to him, "But I have something here, and I want to trouble Mr. Cai...... Or Boss Zou. ”
"You say!"
Cai Yongchang nodded.
Xu Luo said: "I know that there is a very famous female writer in Xiangjiang named Li Bihua, and she wrote a book called "Farewell My Concubine", Mr. Cai, do you know? ”
Cai Yongchang thought about it for a while and said: "I know Li Bihua, but I don't know much about her novels, does Mr. Xu's mention of "Farewell My Concubine" have any deep meaning?" ”
Xuluo said bluntly: "I want to buy the film adaptation rights of this novel, but I am not very familiar with Ms. Li, and I hope that Golden Harvest can help, money or anything is not a problem." ”
Cai Yongchang quickly began to ponder in his heart, and said after a while: "I'll go back and find out first, and see if its copyright is sold...... Is Mr. Void determined to win? ”
"Yes!"
Xuluo nodded seriously, "I'm tired of Mr. Cai and Boss Zou, after the matter is completed, I owe Jiahe a favor." ”
"Mr. Xu, don't be so polite." Cai Yongchang said with a smile: "If you can help, Jiahe will definitely help!" ”
Although he said so, Xuluo's promise made Cai Yongchang very satisfied.
Then when he returned to Xiangjiang that night and handed over the two scripts to Zou Wenhuai, he also told Xuluo's request at the same time.
Zou Wenhuai bowed slightly, and asked another question first: "You read these two scripts on the road?" ”
"Look!"
"How?"
mentioned the two scripts, Cai Yongchang's eyebrows danced: "Okay! Good! That's great! Cousin, "Red Fan Zone" must be Cheng Long's masterpiece to impact Hollywood! And the second "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun" is also a masterpiece, Xuluo is really a genius! and the theme song "Men Should Be Self-Improvement", which is even more amazing! You can't believe he wrote it in one day. ”
Saying that, Cai Yongchang used his incomplete voice to hum "Men Should Be Self-Improvement" again.
Zou Wenhuai has an ancient rhyme culture than him, and he laughed when he heard it, "Good guy, treat "General's Order" as a song, and your heart is not small!" ”
"Sounds good, right? Momentum, right? Cai Yongchang also smiled: "It's from this song that I think this little guy can do it, he can do it!" ”
Cai Yongchang's job himself is to look for good scripts and actors everywhere.
His vision has always been powerful, and Zou Wenhuai is also very trusting.
Hearing this, Zou Wenhuai asked him: "Then do you think we can help Xuluo's favor?" ”
"What do you think, cousin?" Cai Yongchang asked rhetorically.
"This young man is really a character!" Zou Wenhuai didn't answer directly, "Do you know why he only said this request after he gave you the script?" ”
Cai Yongchang was stunned, he really didn't expect it.
Zou Wenhuai explained: "He didn't give you the script, and if you ask us to help with things, it will inevitably smell like coercion." But if you are given the script and then requested, that is, the attitude is very correct, and it is a serious attitude of asking for others. ”
"Oh......"
Cai Yongchang immediately understood, it turned out that there was still this meaning.
Zou Wenhuai continued: "Then how much do you think his favor is worth? ”
In Xiangjiang, everyone is busy making money, and they never shy away from making money.
Zou Wenhuai compares favor with money, which is naturally very normal.
Cai Yongchang thought for a while and said, "It should be that we can ask him to write another script in the future, right?" ”
Zou Wenhuai smiled slightly, "Ah Yong, you are thinking too narrowly!" Maybe Xuluo is right, but we can use it for more useful purposes...... For example, he will be more prominent in the future, and when we are weak, this favor is more valuable than a script! ”
"Huh?"
Cai Yongchang said in surprise: "Cousin, do you think he will have amazing achievements?" But we are the largest film company in Xiangjiang, and with you and Brother Chang, how can we be weak? ”
"It's hard to say about this, but I still like his favors." Zou Wenhuai said, "You are not familiar with the affairs of the literary and artistic world, so leave this matter to me!" I'll help him do it. ”
When he said "I'll help him get it", Zou Wenhuai had a calm attitude.
It's not that he despises Xuluo's request, but that he has absolute self-confidence.
In Xiangjiang, his Zou Wenhuai's face is very valuable.
"Cousin, I think Xuluo still knows our company very well." Cai Yongchang talked about another discovery of his own: ""Red Fan District" is for Cheng Long, and "Huang Feihong: Top Gun" is ostensibly for Li Lianjie, but who doesn't know that we recently signed Xu Ke? Who doesn't know that Xu Ke is best at martial arts films? It's just tailor-made for the two of them! ”
Zou Wenhuai didn't read the script, but he believed in his cousin's vision, since he said that it was suitable for Xu Ke and Li Lianjie, then it must be suitable.
He muttered: "Xu Ke has a strange personality, he likes to toss things by himself, and he doesn't necessarily want other people's scripts, and it is a set framework...... You go find him first! If he doesn't want to, let's find Liu Jialiang, right? He's back from Hollywood anyway. ”
Golden Harvest invested in a Hollywood movie - "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" two years ago, and appointed the famous action director Liu Jialiang in Hong Kong to direct the martial arts action.
Seeing this, Cai Yongchang smiled: "Cousin, he can't do it." ”
"Huh?"
"Have you forgotten the contradiction between him and Li Lianjie?"
"Oh!"
Zou Wenhuai patted his head and laughed.
In 86, Liu Jialiang directed "North and South Shaolin", during which the extremely duplicitous attitude towards the staff of Xiangjiang and the mainland actors and staff completely annoyed Li Lianjie, and Li Lianjie announced after filming the movie that he would never cooperate with Liu Jialiang for the rest of his life.
Since Xuluo chose Li Lianjie as the leading actor, Liu Jialiang must not be usable.
But Zou Wenhuai said one more sentence: "Does the protagonist have to be Li Lianjie?" ”
Cai Yongchang said with his head in his jaw: "What Xuluo said, only Li Lianjie can act well...... According to his vision of discovering Zhou Xingchi, I think I can trust him. Including him saying that the heroine must use Guan Zhilin, I don't think there is any problem. ”
"Well, Li Lianjie's movie has also created a miracle in Xiangjiang." Zou Wenhuai thought back to the beginning: "Okay, let's contact Li Lianjie and ask him to come back." Guan Zhilin is simple, and you can get it if you have money. ”
Because of his failure in Xiangjiang a few years ago, Li Lianjie went to Miguo to open a martial arts gym.
If you want him to film, of course you want him to come back.
Cai Yongchang said: "Cousin, I'll go there myself, so that it shows our sincerity." If Li Lianjie really played, then he and Cheng Long are the pillars of our Golden Harvest! ”
Zou Wenhuai's eyes lit up.
Cheng Long is good and loyal to Golden Harvest, but any ambitious company cannot have only one superstar, which is very dangerous.
In case of any accident, just like Li Xiaolong, wouldn't Jiahe cry to death?
"Well, well!"
He immediately made a decision, "You go to Mi Country!" The conditions could be a little more lenient...... But there must be a few more films. ”
Hearing this, Cai Yongchang had a smile on his face.
The reason why Zou Wenhuai focused on mentioning this was because of Zhou Xingchi.
Zhou Xingchi's previous brokerage contract was in the hands of Li Xiuxian, and now Zhou Xingchi's two consecutive movies have become popular, and someone has already bought a contract with Zhou Xingchi at a price of 2 million.
And Wang Jing, a little fat man, is very smart, before he asked Zhou Xingchi to shoot "The Saint of Gambling", he used the price of 700,000 at that time to receive Zhou Xingchi's 5 film contracts in one go.
Yongsheng is not stupid, and Xiang Huasheng also used 700,000 yuan to receive Zhou Xingchi's 5 film contracts.
Now if you put these films out, it's almost 150% of the profit.
But no one wants to sell it for 2 million.
Because everyone knows that Zhou Xingchi will have a "Shanghai Beach Gambling Saint" to be released in the second half of the year.
If this movie can be stabilized and only use 30 million box office, then the title of the king of Zhou Xingchi's comedy will inevitably be confirmed.
At that time, it will not be a problem of 2 million, I am afraid that 3 million will not be able to fight!
Now Li Lianjie's situation is even worse than Zhou Xingchi at the beginning, Zhou Xingchi has been the starring role in movies for the past few years and is a frequent guest.
Li Lianjie was the one who defeated Maicheng, and he couldn't afford to talk about the price at all.
Although Jiahe is kind, if you want to focus on building Li Lianjie, then you must tie him up in Jiahe as much as possible.
So the more contracts, the better!!
