Chapter Twenty-Eight: Refusal
Ending the call, Zhang Sheng continued to code.
His speed of coding has increased significantly, and he is no longer a handicap.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, Zhang Sheng got up early to run and practice boxing as always.
Sun's Taijiquan gym is no longer as lively as yesterday.
Zhang Sheng didn't stay in the martial arts hall for long.
He soon came to the place where he was meeting people.
"Zhang Sheng, right? My name is Xia Zhen, Brother Long's agent. Xia Zhen saw Zhang Sheng and said with a smile.
"Hello!"
Zhang Sheng naturally knew who Xia Zhen was.
He is not only Fang Long's agent, but also Fang Long's partner.
Now he is also a bigwig-level figure in the circle.
On the Xiangjiang side, the network is wider.
Fang Long went to Hollywood at the beginning, and he also promoted it.
Now that he has returned to China to found Xingyao Film and Television Company, he naturally has the shadow of Xia Zhen.
Zhang Sheng didn't expect him to come in person.
Obviously not for the song "Drunken Fist".
"Sit down!" Xia Zhen glanced at Zhang Sheng and said, "Brother Long and Director He are full of praise for your song "Drunken Fist", and want to buy the right to use that song as the theme song of the movie "Drunken Fist 2". ”
Zhang Sheng didn't say anything, just listened.
"The price we gave here is 500,000." Xia Zhen said, "However, you need to cooperate with the promotion of the movie. ”
"No problem."
Zhang Sheng nodded and agreed very simply.
Is 500,000 high?
Less.
But for him now, he is definitely very sincere.
They want the right to use, not the copyright.
This price is much higher than Zhang Sheng expected.
As for cooperating with the promotion of the film, it is also a matter of mutual benefit.
Promoting the movie is not to increase his exposure of Zhang Sheng.
Of course, there is no limit to the cooperation with the publicity.
"However, Mr. Xia should know that I am participating in a talent show now." Zhang Sheng said, "It's best not to match the time. ”
It means that it is right, then don't blame me for not cooperating.
Xia Zhen nodded and looked at Zhang Sheng again.
I have to say that this young man was so calm when he faced him.
If it were someone else, I am afraid that I would have been flattered.
Is the mentality of a martial arts practitioner so good?
This kind of change is not shocked, and it is very suitable for mixing in the entertainment industry.
"You shouldn't have signed a contract yet, right?" Xia Zhen opened his mouth and said, "Are you interested in coming to Xingyao, Brother Long is very optimistic about you." If you come, he will do his best to support you. ”
"Mr. Xia, I'm a singer now." Zhang Sheng said, "Xingyao Film and Television is ready to enter the music scene? ”
Entering the music scene?
Naturally, it can't be.
"Didn't you study directing in college?"
Xia Zhen said with a smile, he seemed to expect Zhang Shenghui to answer like this.
After all, Li Xian tested his tone yesterday.
"That's right!" Zhang Sheng nodded.
I studied directing, not acting.
"You don't just want to be a singer, do you?"
Xia Zhen said with a smile.
He could see that Zhang Sheng was ambitious.
"That's for later." Zhang Sheng shook his head and said, "Mr. Xia, I'll just say it directly, even if I develop into film and television, I don't dare to take action scenes now." ”
Why does Xingyao want to sign himself?
Obviously, it's not musical, so naturally it's his skills that take a fancy to him.
Can Zhang Shenghui sign a contract with Xingyao Film and Television?
No!
This is not only contrary to his plan, the most important thing is that if he goes to Xingyao Film and Television, he can only become Fang Long's foil.
Xingyao Film and Television made it clear that around Fang Long, how much development can Zhang Sheng go?
What's more, Xingyao Film and Television has only been established for a short time, although Fang Long has fame and connections, how many resources can he have?
"Huh?"
Xia Zhen was puzzled, and looked at Zhang Sheng thoughtfully, waiting for him to explain.
"I practice national arts, I'm not good at routines, I don't know how to perform, and now I can't do it freely." Zhang Sheng explained, "It's too dangerous. ”
Xia Zhen frowned and fell into deep thought.
He is Fang Long's agent, and he often deals with kung fu movies and action movies, so he naturally knows what Zhang Sheng means.
"Shoot action movies, where is there that doesn't hurt." Xia Zhen said.
How many people can shoot action scenes freely?
Hurting people, hurting people, that's inevitable.
"It's okay to hurt someone, I'm afraid I'll accidentally kill someone." Zhang Sheng shook his head.
"Exaggerated, huh?"
Xia Zhen looked at Zhang Sheng, frowned slightly, and said.
It's not right to find such a reason to prevaricate and refuse!
"What I practice is a killing move, a killing technique." Zhang Sheng said, "Even if you set a trick before filming, it is undoubtedly very dangerous, some instincts, where is it so easy to change." That's why I chose to make my debut as a singer. ”
"That would be a pity." Xia Zhen said with a smile, "If you develop into an action actor, you have a bright future." However, if you are willing to sign a contract with Xingyao Film and Television, with your appearance conditions, you will inevitably be highly praised by the company. Xingyao Film and Television also has other types of movies to do. ”
"Thank you Mr. Xia for your attention, let me think about it." Zhang Sheng said.
Xia Zhen didn't say anything more.
Think about it, in fact, it is a tactful refusal, everyone understands, there is no need to say it thoroughly.
Just like he said that he signed with Xingyao, even if he doesn't take the road of an action actor, he will still be highly praised.
That's just talking.
In Xia Zhen's view, Zhang Sheng's greatest value and potential lies in his ability to play.
Fang Long also values Zhang Sheng's ability to fight.
If he only starred in literary dramas, then Zhang Sheng's potential and value would naturally be greatly reduced.
Is it worth investing too many resources in Xingyao Film and Television?
It's not worth it.
Of course, Xingyao Film and Television doesn't mind signing Zhang Sheng.
After all, his appearance is also excellent.
As for how much will be invested, it is difficult to say.
Everything was negotiated, and Zhang Sheng immediately went to the martial arts hall.
In addition to some people who come to learn martial arts, there are also some people who eat melons.
The media is gone.
It is estimated that no one will come to trouble Zhang Sheng anymore.
The heat on the Internet about this matter has not faded away, and the people who take advantage of this black Zhang Sheng are still splashing dirty water crazily.
However, the heat of this matter is expected to fade soon.
Jiaxing Media has obviously struck again.
Zhang Sheng made such a fuss, not for nothing.
At least his popularity has increased a lot.
Nowadays, many people on the Internet say that he is both civil and military.
The "personality" of a kung fu master still has a great role in promoting Zhang Sheng.
This will be very helpful for him to enter the film and television industry in the future.
This can be seen from Fang Long's olive branch.
"It's a pity!"
Fang Long listened to Xia Zhen's words, shook his head and said.
He fell in love with Zhang Sheng, but he didn't have to sign him.
There are more young people with potential.
Sign in, maybe you earn it.
If you don't sign it, it doesn't matter.
"What he said is not necessarily a prevarication." He Ping opened his mouth and said, "In the past, when filming, disability was very common, and it was nothing. Now, if the injury is a little more serious, I'm afraid it's not a small trouble. The environment is different, and he is really not suitable for filming action scenes. ”
Xia Zhen and Fang Long were thoughtful.
"This may also be one of the reasons why kung fu movies and action movies are not as good as before." Xia Zhen shook his head and said, "I'm afraid of danger, where is the best way to shoot." ”
Now that there is a problem with the stand-in, the crew will have a lot of trouble.
This is naturally very restrictive in terms of action design.
Some of them use special effects directly.
Naturally, the effect is much worse.
Of course, kung fu movies and action movies are not as good as they used to be, and there are obviously many reasons.
This is not necessarily the main reason.
In the next few days, Zhang Sheng cooperated with the crew of "Drunken Fist 2" to shoot a movie theme song MV for publicity.
As for cooperating with the promotion of the movie, it is estimated that the movie will be released.
And the fifth episode of "Bright Star" was also launched immediately.
Zhang Sheng once again set off the topic.
The sixth episode of the program has also begun to be recorded.
