Chapter 422: The TV series directed by Xiao Gangpao for the first time
How else to make money abroad and spend it at home?
Not only did Cheng Long's film copyright bring Xuluo an income of 24 million US dollars, but the follow-up income of Nippon's "Tokyo Love Story" also arrived.
Plus videotapes, soundtracks, peripherals...... and so on, and Xuluo got a total of 10,000 dollars.
He directly transferred this money to the Bubu Stitching Monster, plus the previous 24 million, as well as the $10 million advance payment for "X File Eucalyptus", which is almost $40 million in total.
Although it is still not enough to cover the expenses of several TV dramas, movies, and variety shows, it is no problem to hold on for two or three months.
Next month is the release of "Scream", and Xuluo believes that there will be at least 20 million to 30 million US dollars in income there, and this money will be used again to last until March next year.
In March next year, the second season of "Friends" should be settled with $72 million, so it is enough to last until the release of "Jurassic Park".
Once the gold-swallowing beast of "Jurassic Park" is sent away, the financial pressure of the cloth stitching monster will disappear all at once.
It seems like this is very compact, there is a shortage of money everywhere, and money is needed to replenish it at any time, but isn't that what doing business is all about?
Where is the room and money to do this and that?
If everything waits until there is enough time, money, manpower and material resources to do things, the daylily will be cold.
Let's talk about the Xiangjiang side.
Didn't Golden Harvest take 18 million yuan to Xuluo?
It just so happened that ATV also agreed with Xuluo's previous opinion on "Bao Qingtian", and bought 20% of the copyright of "Bao Qingtian" and the rights and interests of broadcasting in Xiangjiang with 50 million.
This amount of money is so large that many people who were superstitious about it before have a little complaint.
However, Zheng Yutong, the big boss behind him, has expressed his appreciation and liking for Xuluo on various occasions, so Liang Shuyi doesn't care about them.
Power is a pit, if you go in, he can't get in, if you want to occupy this pit yourself, you have to show your own achievements, instead of listening to other people's opinions.
Xuluo took the money, exchanged some dollars and returned to the mainland, and then settled Jiahe's account.
The accounts of all kinds of bodies have been settled, and there is no longer the urgent pressure before, and the young man's heart is happy.
even took Ge You and Feng Xiaogang to invite him to dinner, and he readily agreed, instead of staying at home and writing a manuscript.
Anyway, Xuluo owes too many script drafts.
The main thing is that the previous memory reboot is too rich, so this is also a happy annoyance.
Xuluo is not ready to be a human being.
In order for himself to possess those future memories in advance, no matter what it was, he had to prepare in advance.
Whoever should have taken the script to prepare it, he took it to publication.
For example, the first episode of "Harry Potter" published at the end of August is obviously a bit rough, but it doesn't matter if it is Xuluo, it is better to occupy the pit first.
There are also two cartoons, "Toy Story" and "Finding Nemo", which he also wrote in the form of fairy tales and contributed to children's publications.
Look!
Two excellent movies, he made them into children's publications, which is really unscrupulous!
….
But Xuluo himself is quite happy, he has never had too much wool from the people of Xumi.
In the middle of October, it was already the beginning of autumn, and the place where Ge You and Feng Xiaogang invited Xuluo to eat was the Sheep Scorpion Pavilion.
Speaking of sheep and scorpions, it is the same as sheep and buffalo going into the water, they are all things that the nobles did not eat and threw away in the past, and then the poor people bought and picked the rope to eat some meat in the cracks and drink some bone marrow, which can be regarded as satisfying their hunger.
Now, of course, it is different from before, the meat on the sheep and scorpion is almost not removed, and the mouth is full of meat and oil, and people who like to eat meat feel very fragrant.
They know that Xuluo is not exquisite,
Everyone was eating meat, drinking wine, chatting, and the atmosphere was quite cheerful.
Feng Xiaogang is obviously very interested in the affairs of Vanity Fair, and he has never heard of some gossip news, which can be regarded as a long insight.
Ge You talked about some things about ordinary people, which was not very interesting, but when he said it in his mouth, it was so funny.
chatting and chatting, they talked about the recent release of "Red Fan Zone" in the mainland.
Previously, when Eying Studio and Golden Harvest talked about "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement", Golden Harvest put forward a condition, that is, to officially introduce Cheng Long's film into the mainland.
In the past, Cheng Long's movies had been broadcast in the mainland for a long time, but they were all thieves. version of the videotape.
This time, the movie, that is, "Red Fan District", is a blockbuster carefully produced by Golden Harvest, and it is written by Xuluo, and there is no reason why they don't want to test the waters in the mainland market.
Golden Harvest's ambitions are great.
is not only Li Lianjie's costume film, but now Cheng Long's modern police film also wants to enter the mainland market.
Although the mainland market as a whole is only the same as the income of Xiangjiang, or even less, Golden Harvest feels that the mainland will definitely develop, even if the market eventually becomes as big as Baodao, it is also a great supplement to Xiangjiang Films.
In particular, Golden Harvest's movies have always been very atmospheric, and they won't make Wang Jing's, pee, and fart, and they won't make some xx movies.
Whether it is a martial arts movie or an action movie, most of them are very much promoting the concept that evil cannot defeat good, and such movies will be easy to pass in the mainland.
Han Sanping, who was originally in charge, didn't want "Red Fan District", but because this was written by Xuluo and starring Cheng Long, he pinched his nose and asked for it.
[In view of the general environment,
He values Cheng Long not because of Cheng Long's movies, but because Cheng Long promotes a Chinese culture, and it is positive, which makes the people above like it very much.
So the last time Cheng Long came to sing "Beijing Welcomes You", he was also very happy.
One of the elders of the organizing committee happens to be the propaganda mouth, and if it is Cheng Long who makes the movie, it will naturally be easy to pass.
Sure enough, like everyone likes Li Lianjie, the sample film of "Red Fan Zone" was approved less than a week after it was sent to it.
Then at this time, there was news that "Red Fan District" was a great success in Miguo, and it repeatedly set the box office record of Xiangjiang films in Miguo in the past 20 years.
….
This news greatly stimulated the managers of major theaters, so "Red Fan District" was also won 1,800 copies, just like Li Lianjie's "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement".
The mainland was released a little later, in late September, and now it has only been released for three weeks, and the audience queuing up to see "Red Fan Zone" is still endless.
Many people don't enjoy watching it once, and they even watch it two or three times.
It is said that any movie theater in Beijing has a daily turnover of up and down.
It's the third week!
The box office of the whole country has already exceeded 100 million.
"Seeing these Xiangjiang movies galloping invincible in our mainland, I'm really red-eyed!" Feng Xiaogang sighed and said, "When will we be able to stand up our majesty?"
"You better stop worrying about that." Ge You took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Li Lianjie and Cheng Long's fame is not an overnight thing, how many years have people worked hard to get to where they are now? How many years have we had commercial films? Not yet, to be exact! What do you compare with the elite filmmakers in Xiangjiang? People only make commercial films!"
Ge You is very good at chatting, and everyone is willing to chat with him, Zhang Guorong is such a shy man, and he can also talk energetically.
The two often drank one drink and the other drank water, so they could talk for hours.
Therefore, Ge You also knows a lot about Xiangjiang movies, and he knows it very thoroughly.
It's not that there are no good Chinese movies, it's just that the genre is different, and now Huaguo has no overall development of this kind of commercial blockbuster
, more biographical films, movies based on history, and so on.
For example, most genres of Xiangjiang movies are not very suitable in the mainland.
Xu Luo also said, "Brother Gang, don't think too much, now you don't even have a TV series on your own, let alone any movies!" Ten years later, let's see if you can compete with Director Xiangjiang! You're only 33 years old now, so there's still a lot of time."
Feng Xiaogang immediately climbed up the pole, "Ouch my Luo Ye, you remembered me!" You know that I haven't even done a TV series alone! My red heart is waiting for your summons anytime and anywhere!"
His appearance was already funny, and such a flattering appearance made Xuluo feel that it was a pity that this guy didn't take it to be Captain Jia's companion!
After thinking about it, Xu Luo said, "You are quite good at screenwriting, have you made any books? Show me it, maybe I can invest in you and start shooting."
Feng Xiaogang was stunned, and immediately patted his head: "Wait a minute! I'll go back here, and before the end of this year, I'll give you a notebook!"
Ge You on the side saw the clue and resisted him: "You fool, don't Xiao Luo leave it here? Can he have a good book? You ask for one......
Feng Xiaogang immediately showed a look of covetousness, "Luo Ye......"
Xuan Luojaw said, "Brother Gang, in the past two years, you have also worked hard to help me film and write scripts. It just so happens that there is a script written by Sister Huan for me, called "Sister Idler", I think it's very good, do you want to give it a try?"
Sister Huan is Liang Huan, Liang Zuo's sister, Liang Tian's sister, a very talented Peking University talented woman.
….
In Liang Zuo's house before, when everyone was chatting, Xuluo asked her to have a competition with the two sisters Zhang Li and Zhang Xi to see who could write a good book.
They weren't very convinced of each other, so they went to write a notebook seriously.
Xuluo came back this time, and Liang Zuo gave their notebook to Xuluo.
Zhang Li and Zhang Xi wrote "The Story of the Waiting Room".
Liang Zuo wrote "Sister Idler".
"The Story of the Waiting Room" is written a bit like "The Story of the Editorial Department", telling the story of what happened in the waiting room of an old station that has lost most of its passenger traffic.
When the passengers from the north and south stay in the waiting room and wait for the train, all kinds of things will naturally happen, and the railway employees will deal with these events in various ways, which has attracted all kinds of ridiculous stories.
"Sister Ma, the Idler" tells the story of Sister Ma, a retired cadre, who goes around to take care of the gossip of her neighbors, and is enthusiastic about doing good things, but also makes a lot of jokes, but also makes a lot of warm stories.
The front is a group act, and the most important thing in the back is the character of Sister Ma.
As long as Sister Ma can play well, the rest of the roles can play the role of a green leaf.
Considering that Feng Xiaogang is the first time to be alone. Li directed a TV series, and Xuluo chose a simple one for him.
Because he has the most suitable actor for Sister Ma in his heart, with her on the horse, he will definitely get it.
Feng Xiaogang listened to Xuluo's narration and was also very interested.
But he also understands that whether this drama can be filmed well or not, in addition to the script and his own direction, the more important thing is the actor of Sister Ma.
"Who are you looking for?" He thought about it for a long time and couldn't think of a suitable one.
"Teacher Li Mingqi, have you heard of it?" Xuluo asked.
Feng Xiaogang shook his head, but Ge You said thoughtfully, "Isn't that plainclothes policeman. Aunt Zheng in "Cha"? I heard that this teacher has a very strong line skills, and he can memorize all the lines before he even joins the group?"
"Yes, that's her!"
Xuluo nodded, "She is 55 years old this year, and she happens to play this retired Sister Ma."
"Alright, I'll go back and talk to her." Feng Xiaogang knew it in his heart.
He has no opinion on Xuluo assigning him the protagonist in advance, everyone knows, as long as it is the actor selected by Xuluo,
You can't go wrong.
What's more, this is the first TV series in which he has been the director and the leader alone, and it is a good thing to have such an old qualified actor to cooperate with him!
Thinking of Teacher Li Mingqi playing Sister Ma, Xuluo also remembered Mama Rong.
Look, Mr. Li.
I gave you a likable role first, so then I played Mama Rong, don't blame me for being ruthless!
