Later, when I heard that Jiang Wen failed to accomplish the task, Xu Qing was also ashamed and felt very guilty. She said that she would look for it again and maybe there was someone who could explain it.
But since then Tang Ze has also realized that if Han Sanping can't do it, it's probably impossible to find anyone else.
Perhaps early in the morning, Jiang Wen had given up hope that his brother could accomplish anything, so he gave him that suggestion.
If you think about it carefully, some of the wild ideas about zombie movies Jiang Wen talked about with him actually have some special meaning.
Just like today, when the public is under pressure, rough people would rather break up with their friends than let go of the script. It is no longer just a matter of face.
They can have no success, but they cannot have any mistakes. Any disputes should be eliminated in the cradle in advance.
This is the idea of Yangdian.
What can he do?
As Jiang Wen said, abandon it and stay away?
But in fact, he chose this script because he was short of money.
Both Weibo and Douyin cost money, especially Weibo. There was not much time left for him to catch up, unless he gave up the project.
But he was unwilling to give in and would give it a try no matter what.
After all, with a cost of hundreds of thousands, there is almost no film that is not harmonious and has a higher profit than "Don't Stop the Camera!"
He has to work harder. If there is really no other way in the end, he can only switch to a low-cost one-man show to accumulate experience in theater movies.
But if you want to sell well at the box office, you really can only think about it.
When Tang Ze was troubled, Xu Zheng and Ning Hao both took the initiative to call to comfort him and give his own suggestions.
They seemed to have heard that Tang Ze was looking for connections in the director circle, but with little success.
However, they couldn't think of any solution, and finally suggested that Tang Ze change the script.
Or replace the zombies. If it is to relieve seriousness, it is actually feasible to replace them with killers, murderers, robbers, etc.
Logically speaking, this is indeed the case, and he should know how to adapt.
However, there were no successful cases in his previous life, so he did not want to take risks and could not waste every penny.
After the two of them hung up, Wu Qian also called and said it didn't matter if she didn't act, and asked Tang Ze not to feel pressured by her.
Wu Qian's words were always cute and made him feel much better.
After Wu Qian, the phone calls didn’t stop.
Whether they are close to him or want to build a relationship with him, they are all doing their part.
Even if it's just comfort.
But he didn't expect that Shu Chang and Chen Kun would also call him.
Taking advantage of Tang Ze's difficult period, the two asked him if he needed help, saying that they knew many people there.
At the same time, I apologized for the audition.
Tang Zeting followed the trick of "giving help in times of need" and forgave them.
It's just that the interpersonal relationship between the two has nothing to do with the department that withheld Karasawa's script, so it didn't really help.
But he also appreciated it and called Lao Wu: "Take Shu Chang and Chen Kun off the blacklist!"
"Will Tianze have all the film, television and variety show business in the future?" Lao Wu asked.
Tang Ze nodded.
"What about the contract signing business? If they want to join Tianze, do they want to sign it?" Lao Wu asked again.
Tang Ze is not such a narrow-minded person. Forgiveness means complete forgiveness. Lao Wu understands this and does not ask any more questions.
However, Lao Wu knew that Tang Ze was in a bad mood, so he brought him a piece of good news: "Mr. Tang, we have some gratifying news!"
Tang Ze never let negative emotions affect him, and smiled and said: "Then tell me quickly, if it is important news, you deserve a commendation."
Lao Wu said happily: "It's the "Peppa Pig" project. We have started it for several days. During this period, I had people send character drafts to children in dozens of kindergartens for reading." p>
"I found that they all liked it, and some of them were able to draw it that day."
"Later, this character image spread to the Central Committee Children's Channel, and they were willing to buy the copyright of this image."
"I know this is a project that Mr. Tang attaches great importance to, so naturally I didn't agree."
"However, they have also maintained contact with our animation company. After the first season of animation is completed, we may be able to release the animation directly through the children's channel!"
Tang Ze felt happy from the bottom of his heart. This was indeed good news.
After thinking for a while, he asked one more question: "How much was the children's channel willing to pay for copyright fees at that time?"
He is actually quite curious about this. Can this kind of image sell for 100,000?
He still doesn't understand why children like this kind of crooked-nosed pig. The animation company of Great Britain in his previous life probably didn't fully think of it either.
Otherwise, the promotion would have been accelerated a long time ago. How could it be that it took 11 years for this animation to be introduced to China before it became so popular?
Could it be that there are already people in China who are discerning and have discovered the broad prospects of this image in advance?
"20 million!" Lao Wu replied with a smile.
"..."
……
When driving away Lao Wu, Tang Ze really restrained his inner impulse for a long time.
Should we need 20 million dollars for emergency now, or should we focus on US$1 billion in a few years?
He chose the latter.
Even at that time, he might have been the richest man in China, and he didn't lack that little money.
But he doesn’t want to be treated as a laughing stock by future generations of businessmen because of this mere 20 million.
The phone rang again, and this time the person calling him was Liu Yifei.
The first thing the other person said was to complain:
"Why do you seem to be bad-mouthed by the media every day? I see some media saying that you can only make online movies and don't understand theater movies at all. But is there any difference between online movies and theater movies?"
Tangze shrugged: "Isn't this normal? I've been relatively active recently, so the media has nothing to say but find things to criticize me."
"When your "The King of Kung Fu" is released, most media will say that this is your pinnacle work, and it will only go downhill from now on."
Because he couldn't think of a solution for the time being, and his friends continued to comfort him, Tang Ze simply relaxed and stopped being nervous.
"Hmph, that's not necessarily the case." The other side made a sound, and then said: "Then, do you need help?"
"Help, how to help?"
"Maybe I have someone I can talk to about the relationship?"
"Then do you have it?"
"Okay...I didn't!" Liu Yifei was a little helpless. She actually wanted Tang Ze to ask for her help.
Even if she can't help, she will try to help. Is this a friend?
In fact, she felt that Karasawa didn't like talking about his troubles with his friends.
Maybe she had already decided that Tang Ze could not take the initiative with a girl like her, so she said:
"Actually, I just thought that if you would ask me for help, I would try to help you. After all, there are so many relationships between people and they are so complicated. What if I know someone?"
"For example, I know a person and heard that he was involved in the preparations for the Olympic Games. I think he is very powerful. Maybe I can communicate with the review team."
Olympic Games...
Tangze had a flash of inspiration.
Yes, he regarded himself as an ordinary citizen and almost ignored this important event!
He finally has a solution!
It is indeed as Han Sanping said, it needs to be said.
I'm afraid a relationship like just friends or equals won't work anymore.
You have to find one higher up.
"I understand, thank you, Liu Yifei! I will definitely ask you to be the heroine in the next movie, as a thank you for your help. I still have things to deal with, so I will hang up now."
"Didi didi..." Liu Yifei over there was a little confused and didn't know whether he should be happy or not.
After all, Tang Ze finally said that he would take the initiative to invite her to film, instead of being polite like "next time".
But what did she help? She didn’t seem to have done anything, right?
