In the end, Zhou Yan won most of the copyrights of the upper and lower parts of "Journey to the West" at a price of 5.5 million Hong Kong coins, including the audio and video copyrights of DVDs and VCDs, streaming media copyrights, all copyrights of soundtracks and 90% of the copyrights of re-screenings.

For this price, Yang Guohui is still quite satisfied, this movie is actually worth a little money in the audio-visual copyright, but in the mainland market, audio-visual copyright actually can't make too much money, because there are too many pirates.

As for other copyrights, there is no way to bring them income for the time being.

For example, the copyright of streaming media and the copyright of re-screening, in Yang Guohui's view, is equivalent to nothing.

Can such a movie have a chance to be re-screened?

What else is the streaming copyright, even if the online broadcast really develops in the future, I don't know how many years later, by that time, will anyone still be able to watch this movie? Even if someone can make money by watching it, the money has nothing to do with the current Playmate company.

Yang Guohui What they want to solve is the current problem, and the 5.5 million given by Zhou Yan can solve their urgent needs.

He not only contacted Xu Feng, but also contacted many other companies, but none of them could give Zhou Yan this price.

The last time Wang Anyi was able to attend the premiere of "The Sixth Sense", it was because the crew of "Fengyue" was in Yanjing at the time, and she went with her as a screenwriter.

After chatting about the works for a while, Wang Anyi suddenly said, "Will you all participate in next year's Writers' Congress?" ”

This age is a few years younger than set in the script, "In this case, the script needs to be adjusted somewhat." ”

"Yu Hua, have you paid a lot of attention to music in the past two years?"

Blegman will be the producer of this film, the director is Martin Bu Brest, who I told Zhou Yan before, the male lead is Kevin Costner, the little male lead is Haley Joe Osmond, and the female lead.

Hearing the casting of the little male protagonist, Zhou Yan was quite surprised.

Zhou Yan nodded secretly, I have to say that the efficiency of these big factories is quite high.

Wang Anyi waved his hand, "What is your name, Teacher Wang, you are like them, just call me Sister Wang." ”

"Speaking of Cao Cao and Cao Cao, it should be that they came."

"Don't see outside, when you come, treat it as your own home, don't listen to Yu Hua tease you, there is wine at home, how can you drink the wine you brought."

"How do I listen, it feels like you're mainly there to eat?"

Zhou Yan said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't be polite, I usually don't drink at home, I put it away, and I brought everyone to drink, and I made the best use of it." ”

When I got home, I didn't drink at all, but I became more and more sober.

After the conditions were negotiated, Yang Guohui urged Zhou Yan to sign the contract, and in this cooperation, they were much more urgent than Zhou Yan, and the color star company couldn't support it.

However, Su Pupil was originally from the Chinese Department of Yan Normal University, and he was also half a scholar, and occasionally a few professional terms could come up.

"The process is fixed, but it's indispensable." Wang Anyi said with a smile.

……

Because Su Tong and Wang Anyi still had business tomorrow, they didn't drink too much wine, Zhou Yan brought a box of wine over, and finally only drank two bottles.

According to their shooting speed, it will be filmed in more than a month at most, and then the movie will be released early next year.

In fact, seeing that Zhou Yan's movie is about to be released, Wang Anyi also felt a little emotional, when they went to attend the premiere of "The Sixth Sense" before, "Fengyue" had just been launched, and now that so much time has passed, "Fengyue" is still far from being released.

When Brigman said this, Zhou Yan believed it, this guy was still reliable, and there was no need for him to lie about it.

"Speaking of the Spring Festival Gala, Zhou Yan, the director team never thought of inviting you to do a show?" Yu Hua asked.

"Hey, I'm so embarrassed, then you sit down, Yu Hua helps Teacher Zhou pour a glass of water."

However, Zhou Yan still felt wonderful, and went around and around, and finally the role was in the hands of Haley Joe Osmond.

"Tie Sheng is right, the Spring Festival Gala still accounts for a large proportion of language and singing and dancing, and I remember that there were no performance programs in the Spring Festival Gala in the first two years." Su Tong said.

He has also been writing this piece for the past few days, and he has written this piece very seriously, and he has completed about one-fifth of it so far, which is fast for a multi-movement piece, and slow is only for Zhou Yan.

There aren't many American actresses he can think of, and when he says Cindy Crawford, he mainly thinks that his looks are okay.

……

Yu Hua said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if it's less before, Zhou Yan is special after all, he is now world-famous, if you don't use it, it's not a waste." ”

"Yes, it's very regular, I wake up at night and sleep during the day." Wang Anyi teased, and asked Zhou Yan again, "Zhou Yan, is your new movie going to be released again?" ”

"The heroine hasn't been decided yet, do you have any candidates to recommend?" Brigman asked.

After Wang Anyi said hello to Shi Tiesheng, Yu Hua was about to introduce Zhou Yan, but heard Wang Anyi say, "Zhou Yan, I saw it when the sixth sense premiered." ”

"Yes, you went to the scene when "The Sixth Sense" premiered, and you said at that time that you wanted to have an appointment with Chi Zijian, but unfortunately it didn't work out."

It took at least three or four seconds for Briegman to speak, "Y, you may not know much about Cindy Crawford, although she has just started acting in movies, but the price is not cheap. And her acting skills are not guaranteed. ”

"Oh, British, no wonder I'm not familiar with it, okay, I'll try to contact her."

The cheapest of them should be Kate Winslet, but Kate is a little younger and not very suitable for this role.

Zhou Yan shook his head with a smile, "I haven't received an invitation from the director team of the Spring Festival Gala yet." ”

Yu Hua smiled, "If you pay for the passage to Sister Wang, won't she be able to come?" ”

"There are very few programs like this."

Especially after taking a bath, the person is more awake.

After all, Zhou Yan is not only the director of the original film, the soundtrack director, the screenwriter, but also the investor, so in terms of casting, Zhou Yan certainly has some rights.

"Okay, well, I'll definitely see it when I have time."

After the release of "Zhongshan" at the beginning of this year, it has received wide attention from inside and outside the industry, and as a representative of Shanghai literature, the Shanghai culture contained in Wang Anyi's works has also attracted the attention of many literary practitioners.

Chen Hong stuck her head out of the kitchen, "Teacher Zhou is here." ”

Zhou Yan also took the opportunity to invite Wang Anyi and them, "If you have time, Sister Wang, you can go to my studio to sit, there must be music, and there is also coarse tea and light rice." ”

Yu Hua went to open the door, and sure enough, it was Wang Anyi and Su Tong standing at the door.

"That's right, it's much more comfortable to listen to."

"This Haley Joe Osmond ......"

"An English actress, who seems to have acted in a stage play, I met her last time I was in London." Zhou Yan said.

"Haha, you think it's the Spring Festival Gala."

This kind of seminar, in addition to academic exchanges, is also a way to socialize.

"Of course I'd welcome you to arrive, but I'm afraid you won't be there then."

"Haha, I've woken up."

"Is this work and rest influenced by your writer father?"

Cindy Crawford is a supermodel who has been very popular in recent years, and her first movie has just been released this year. For a star like her, the salary will definitely not be low.

Zhou Yan hugged the wine and turned his head and left, "Since that's the case, then I'll send the wine back, it's not far anyway." ”

Wang Anyi waved his hand again and again, "Haha, no need to do this, as long as you invite me, I will come to join in the fun when I have time, anyway, I will come to Yanjing several times a year." ”

"You're busy, I'll entertain them." Then Yu Hua made a cup of tea for Zhou Yan.

They don't live far away, and Zhou Yan can walk over, but he also brought a case of wine, which is inconvenient to walk.

"Sister Wang."

"I'm afraid I won't bring alcohol, and he won't even let me in."

He didn't sleep at all, went directly to the piano room, and continued to write the score of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood".

And Zhou Yan's "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class" started filming much later than "Fengyue", but it will also be released.

On the phone, Brigman told Zhou Yan that the actors of the American version of "The Sixth Sense" have all been confirmed, and filming will start in September.

Zhou Yan drank three or four taels of wine by himself, and he was still relatively sober, but for safety, he still didn't drive and walked home directly.

"I hear it, the point is free." Wang Anyi teased.

Zhou Yan thought for a moment and said, "How is Cindy Crawford?" ”

"What about the heroine?"

"I don't really have much interest in the Congress, but when the time comes, many friends will come to Yanjing, and it will be really lively. It would be better if there was less process for the congress and more time for us to get together. Yu Hua said.

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a knock at the door.

Since we talked about "Song of Long Hatred", everyone also talked about the book, but most of the people here are writers, and the content of the conversation is not the same as the seminar.

Zhou Yan took the teacup and said with a smile, "It's not easy to drink your cup of tea. ”

"Eight-year-old ......"

"Well, yes."

However, his "Cindy Crawford" directly silenced Briegman.

Shi Tiesheng opened his mouth and said, "Performance programs were not popular in the Spring Festival Gala. ”

"A seminar for the long hate?"

Haley Joe Osmond shouldn't be that big now.

"Next year? Is it already confirmed? Shi Tiesheng asked.

"Anything else?"

In fact, at that time, the Writers' Association invited Zhou Yan and Yu Hua to join, on the one hand, they were affected by public opinion, and on the other hand, they also considered that the Writers' Congress was going to be held, so they quickly salvaged these well-known "fish that slipped through the net".

Shi Tiesheng said with a smile in the living room, "When you didn't come, this guy was chanting, will you bring wine?" ”

The few people chatted for a while, and Chen Hong shouted in the kitchen to start eating.

"If you all participate, then next year's congress will be a little more interesting."

After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly thought of Catherine Zeta-Jones, whom he had met in London some time ago.

"If there are no accidents, several of us should participate, after all, we are also members of the Writers' Association now." Yu Hua said.

"The post-production work of the film has just been completed, and there are still a few months before its release."

"Well, I'm going to trouble my sister-in-law today."

"What do you think of Catherine Zeta-Jones?"

"This director team is confused, inviting you to perform in the past, the show is not only elegant, but also loved by the audience, isn't it a lot of money?"

After Wang Anyi sat down, he looked around, "Yu Hua, where is your little baby." ”

"I don't think so, Haley is perfectly capable of acting as a child over 10 years old."

"Sister Wang, what is the matter with your visit to Yanjing this time?" Zhou Yan asked.

"I guess it's going to be soon......"

"Not really, I remember a few years ago there was a film and television song ensemble that played songs from several movies."

"And even if there is, it's a show like "Happy Year"."

Yu Hua hurriedly grabbed him, "It's all here." ”

On August 24, Zhou Yan had just finished the contract of "Journey to the West" and was about to go to Yu Hua's house for a banquet, when he received a call from Briegman.

"Who?" Briegman was stunned for a moment, he had never heard of the name.

"This tea is still rubbed from your office." Shi Tiesheng said.

"Yan Shida has a seminar, which is related to me, and Su Tong was also invited over."

"When there is a premiere ceremony, we will go and join in the fun." Wang Anyi said.

"We will definitely refer to your opinion, if the heroine is decided, it will be able to start at the end of September, or early October."

Zhou Yan nodded secretly, sure enough, it was "Song of Long Hatred".

"It's gone."

"I'm just casually mentioning that the choice of the heroine is still up to you."

"Okay, I'll have something to do, you should rest early, it's the second half of the night on your side now."

The current climate is such that as long as there is a popular work, there will be various seminars.

"By the way, by the way."

"Hello, Mr. Wang." Zhou Yan greeted with a smile.

"Don't talk about the travel expenses, as long as Sister Wang is willing to come, I can send a special car to pick it up."

Wang Anyi nodded, "The news I got is that the Writers' Congress will be held in the second half of next year. ”

"......" Zhou Yan rolled his eyes and asked, "What about Teacher Su and Teacher Wang?" ”

Of course, although it looks accidental, there is also a little inevitability, there are not many child stars with good acting skills in the United States and the right age, and Haley Joe Osmond is also within their selection range at this age.

In the seminar, it is more scholars who are exporting ideas, after all, writers are only responsible for writing, and how to define and interpret works is usually done by scholars.

"I'm tired of playing in the afternoon, so I'm going to sleep in the house." Yu Hua said.

Yu Hua welcomed the two into the house with a smile, and Su Tong smiled and Zhou Yan greeted Shi Tiesheng.

After hanging up Brigman's phone, Zhou Yan drove to Yu Hua's residence.

"Sister-in-law, you're busy, don't worry about me."

"You may not know that he participated in "Forrest Gump", played Forrest Gump's son, and won the Best Performance Award for Young Artist Film under Ten for this role, there is absolutely no problem with his acting skills, and we have also auditioned for him."

"How old is he?"

"It's not free, I can't afford to listen to it, if you have time, you can also listen to it, after listening, you can still have a meal in their canteen, I have to say, the food in their canteen is really delicious."

"Speaking of you."

"There will be no performances in the Writers' Congress, and it will be interesting to arrange some performances at that time, such as inviting the piano orchestra to play a few pieces."

Zhou Yan thought about it again, and his mind passed Nicole Kidman, Sharon Stone and others, and even Kate Winslet, but these people were all rejected by him.

"More than eight years old."

Under normal circumstances, Wang Anyi is in Shanghai, and it is not easy to come to Yanjing.

……

"I have a regular schedule."

At this time, Chen Hong came out of the kitchen again and greeted Wang Anyi and Su Tong.

"I was completely taken by Zhou Yan, and now I go to their studio to listen to music when I have nothing to do. It feels particularly good to listen to the symphony up close, and the key is that it is free. ”

Yu Hua saw Zhou Yan moving a box of wine, and pretended to say, "You said you, just come here, what kind of wine do you bring, it's not that my family doesn't have wine." ”

By the time Zhou Yan stopped writing, it was already three o'clock in the middle of the night.

In the next few days, Zhou Yan didn't stop, and he was writing music every day.

It wasn't until the school started and the score was halfway done, and because there was something going on at school, he put the tune down a little. (End of chapter)
