Entertainment: top brokers

Zhou Xingchi, who carefully watched the play at home, felt that the script written by Liang Lin was indeed very interesting.

The themes of the two TV series “Zombie Covenant” and “Magic Phone” made Zhou Xingchi exclaim.

It turns out that the zombie theme can still be filmed like this? And Journey to the West, can it also be so creative?

After reading this, take a look at Liang Linbei’s works.

The movie “Those Years” is also very famous.

After reading Liang Lin’s works, Zhou Xingchi began to listen to the songs written by Liang Lin.

Liu Yifei’s album, Di Li Gerba’s album, Little Flower Group’s album, Zhao Liying’s album.

As long as Liang Lin composed the lyrics and music, Zhou Xingchi listened to it.

It is also after understanding Liang Lin’s works in the past few days that he has a deeper understanding of Liang Lin’s talent.

This also made Zhou Xingchi look at his unfinished script.

“Perhaps, if I discuss with you, my script can be perfected?”

Thinking of this, Zhou Xingchi called Liang Lin.

After waiting for two days, I finally waited for a call with Zhou Xingchi.

Liang Lin, who received this call, asked, “I thought you wouldn’t take my words to heart.” ”

“As you said, I really want to slap Huayi hard.”

“Say, how are we going to work together?” Zhou Xingchi was straight to the point and asked Liang Lin how to cooperate.

“It’s very simple, you have a script and a director, and I have the funds to fund and give you actors.”

“If you don’t have a script for the time being, then I’ll write the script and you will direct.”

“Of course, the premise is that the script I write is completely different from your script style in 30.”

“After all, your director’s film style has a characteristic, that is, grounded.”

“The theme of the film is based on the spiritual outlook of folk or small people, and it is very positive and inspirational; And the movie scripts I write are not necessarily like this. ”

“So, I have the script, but if you can’t read it, whether you like the director or not, then I don’t know, this has to be decided after you read the script.”

Liang Lin explained this very bluntly, which is also sincerity to Zhou Xingchi.

Every director has his own style, and every screenwriter has his own characteristics.

Zhou Xingchi’s style and characteristics are too obvious.

“If you say that, I’m really more interested in the script you wrote.”

“If you have one ready-made, can you show me one?” Zhou Xingchi was particularly interested in Liang Lin.

“Give me an email.” Since Zhou Xingchi wanted it, then of course Liang Lin was not polite.

Zhou Xingchi told Liang Lin his email account.

After a while, Liang Lin said to him: “The electronic file has been sent, you can take a look at it first.” ”

Zhou Xingchi opened his email and indeed saw the email sent by Liang Lin.

“When happiness knocks.” Seeing the name of the movie, Zhou Xingchi asked: “I listened to you while watching.” ”

“Tell me, what’s the theme song for this movie?”

Liang Lin was also not polite, and seriously talked to Zhou Xingchi about the theme of this movie script.

“In fact, this movie script is an inspirational story about a down-and-out salesman facing bankruptcy and leaving his wife, who worked hard to fulfill his responsibilities as a single parent, worked hard to become a stock market trader, and finally became a well-known financial investor.”

“This movie is mainly about inspiration, it can also be said that it is a small person, but it can also be said that it is not a small person.”

In fact, this movie is based on a live-action event.

But in this parallel time and space, when Liang Lin went to search for this movie, he found that there was no such movie.

Not only is there no such movie, but even the protagonist of the real events adaptation of this movie does not seem to have this person, so Liang Lin wrote down the script.

When he said this movie, Zhou Xingchi was very surprised.

This script is particularly interesting, inspirational and touching, which is exactly the script style that Zhou Xingchi likes.

Don’t think that Zhou Xingchi only directs comedy movies.

When comedians act seriously, their acting skills are dimensionality reduction blows to other actors.

Because comedians show their own tragedy to amuse the audience.

The laughter that audiences like is often the tragedy or scar of the comedian.

It’s true that Zhou Xingchi himself is good at Wulitou comedy, but it doesn’t mean that he can’t direct such literary films; It’s just that he didn’t come across a good script.

“I’ll direct the script, and I’ll do it.”

“Oh?” When he learned that it was Zhou Xingchi who acted by himself, Liang Lin was very surprised: “I’m not doubting your acting skills, I’m surprised, you seem to have not acted for several years, right?” ”

“Since “Yangtze River No. 7″, I haven’t acted yet.”

“You don’t even make a cameo appearance in “Journey to the West” this time, just a director.”

“Yes, I think the protagonist in this book is very similar to myself, so I suddenly have plans to star.” Zhou Xingchi, who saw this script, really wanted to star.

The works directed by Zhou Xingchi are so good at the box office.

So if Zhou Xingchi starring, then the box office appeal of this movie?

Originally, “When Happiness Knocks” was a movie that could be nominated for an Oscar.

The story, word of mouth, and ratings of the movie are very good

Now if Zhou Xingchi directs and acts by himself, what will happen? Liang Lin was particularly curious.

This movie, how the final foreign box office was, Liang Lin did not know.

But this movie, if you really want Zhou Xingchi to direct and act, then the domestic box office of this movie will definitely not be lower than the 1.7 billion of “Thailand” now.

“Yes, if you want to star, then of course I want to.”

“Are you going to prepare, or am I going to prepare?”

“Do you draw up the agreement or do I draw it up?” Liang Lin asked Zhou Xingchi. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

“You will draw up the agreement, prepare me to prepare, I will personally select the actors, step on the scene and the budget of the movie, and I will also give you a detailed report.”

“It just so happens that now I also have time, and I also urgently want to hit the Huayi brothers in the face with a work.”

“So, in three days I’ll give you an approximate budget for the cost of filming.”

“Give you the actor’s salary and the budget for the shooting cost.”

Zhou Xingchi’s side is also very happy, saying that his side can give a budget in three days.

Liang Lin feels that there is no problem with this, anyway, the female role of this movie, the role is not very important, so she does not help her girlfriend to fight for it.

At that time, let’s see how much production cost Zhou Xingchi wants.

Liang Lin remembers that when Hollywood made this movie in 05, the cost seemed to be 50 million US dollars, and the final box office exceeded 300 million US dollars.

I just don’t know, if it is now filmed as a domestic film, replaced by Zhou Xingchi self-directing and acting, how much will the cost of this movie ultimately cost?

Three days later, Zhou Xingchi told Liang Lin about a budget.

“In this way, I directed and acted in this movie, the director and actor salary, I don’t want it, as long as 5% of the box office dividend, how do you think?” Zhou Xingchi explained this to Liang Lin first.

“Indeed, a 5% dividend is what you deserve in this status.”

“But if it’s a salary, what is your offer now?” After all, you haven’t made a movie for a long time, and now the market doesn’t have a concept of your actor’s salary. Liang Lin was very smart and asked Zhou Xingchi in a curious tone, just to make a choice.

“Heh, if you don’t plan to give me box office dividends, but invite me to cooperate in the form of remuneration, of course, this is okay, then my director and actor salaries are not low, so the investment cost of your film can be high.”

“Really.” Liang Lin knows that this price will definitely not be low.

According to Zhou Xingchi’s status in the circle, the actor’s salary cannot be less than 30 million.

There is also Zhou Xingchi’s director’s salary, which must also be in the same level as his actor’s salary.

In other words, if a movie 267 asks Zhou Xingchi to direct and act himself, the salary must not be less than 60 million.

Remember, it cannot be less than 60 million, as for the upper limit, about 100 million is certain.

After all, Zhou Xingchi has not made movies for several years, and he has not filmed for six or seven years.

Even if it is a director’s movie, it takes several years to direct one.

“Let’s see, do you choose to give me box office dividends, or pay the film?”

“If it’s for a salary, I want at least 80 million.” Zhou Xingchi shouted out the price back, and Liang Lin nodded in approval.

In fact, he is also very entangled now.

If “When Happiness Knocks” is made into a domestic film, Liang Lin cannot predict what the box office will be.

If the box office is 2 billion to calculate, then giving Zhou Xingchi a 5% box office dividend is a dividend of 100 million.

Then if the box office is 2 billion, not dividends, but 80 million in salary, then Liang Lin must pay 20 million less, which is definitely good.

But if the final box office did not reach 2 billion, but 1 billion.

Then the 5% dividend of 1 billion is actually 50 million, which is more cost-effective than giving a salary.

In fact, to give Zhou Xingchi box office dividends, the bet is that the box office of this movie will not reach 2 billion, so if you give box office dividends, he, the investor and producer, can earn a little more.

But if it is to pay Zhou Xingchi, it is actually betting that the box office will exceed 2 billion.

Because now due to him, Zhou Xingchi’s next work was originally “Mermaid”

But now it has become the movie “When Happiness Knocks”

And this movie is not Zhou Xingchi’s original movie, but the appearance of Liang Lin, so that Zhou Xingchi has more of this work, and it is also starring Zhou Xingchi.

In the end, Liang Lin made his own choice and said to Zhou Xingchi: “I still choose to respect you. “。
