"Mr. Xu, this is boring. Why can that person make a movie?" Ding Zhengdao said: "Didn't he also make a lot of money? I think the Era Trilogy at that time was as interesting as "The Devil Wears Prada"
Oh! Isn’t that okay? Mr. Xu, I’m here to seek win-win results, and I will never let Tianyu make a loss-making investment.”
"So, is Producer Ding going to make a Peach Blossom Spring version of Avatar, or a Journey to the West version of How to Train Your Dragon?" Xu Yun touched his chin.
Ding Zheng looked upright: "I didn't mean that. That's what I said. I still stand for originality. My screenwriting is all my own efforts. It's different from that other person."
Bai Xiaoye almost couldn't help but interrupt. He almost jumped out of his mouth with the sentence "Fifty steps and a hundred steps". Fortunately, he was stopped by Lin Ge's eyes. Although everyone understands some things, they are all in the same circle. Just explain it.
It's so disrespectful.
Xu Yun nodded: "I understand what Producer Ding means, but when investing in Tianyu, you really have to focus on profits. After all, the purpose of running a company is to make money. But since Tianyu wants to be an Eastern Hollywood, it must create something with its own characteristics.
.To be honest, I don’t like some of the recent films very much. We need something that is independent and can open up the international market. And it can make our actors become international top-tier superstars.”
If Tianyu Group hadn't been extremely wealthy and had actually built the Oriental Hollywood-level Qindao Film and Television Plaza base, Ding Zheng would have responded without hesitation: Don't you know how capable Huaxia Film is?
But he didn't dare to say this. Once he said it, he would no longer be able to cooperate with Tianyu Group. No matter how good the relationship between colleagues is, some things are mutual.
"'Titanic', 'The Lord of the Rings Trilogy', 'Harry Potter', these high-grossing movies must have a good story. Otherwise, they would not have created those terrifying box office figures." Xu Yundao
: "Of course, when talking about these foreigners, they may look down upon us. I think "Shaolin Temple" in 1982 is the real legend."
Ding Zheng was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is very simple. The Shaolin Temple in 1982, at that time, had a box office of over 100 million. Now it is probably enough to kill Titanic instantly, right?" Xu Yundao said: "It's because his story is good and attractive, so
Only then can people of that era watch it. At that time, there were probably many people in China who had no food to eat. Going to the movies was not like it is now, a common occurrence. Many people couldn’t afford to pay a dime for a ticket. In rural areas, people wanted to watch movies in the open air.
Pulling the white cloth, Producer Ding, you are also someone who has experienced that era, you should know. Unlike now, a ticket costs fifty or eighty. What do you think?"
Ding Zheng's eyes flashed: "In that case, let's start with this. Titanic can be made into 3D to make money, so why can't Shaolin Temple rearrange the schedule and add 3D technology, so that the box office will be sure..."
"Classics cannot be copied. They need to be created." Xu Yun didn't wait for Ding Zheng to finish speaking, and put down the words directly: "If there is a good script, Tianyu will definitely shoot it."
Ding Zheng felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't say anything: "Mr. Xu, what kind of script do you think is suitable? What kind of script has Chinese characteristics and can be compared with those science and technology magic blockbusters in Hollywood? Titanic is very
It’s hard to surpass, if you can make a film that can exceed 300 million US dollars at the global box office, it is a success.”
"Box office is easier said than done." Xu Yundao said: "Even if all the first-line artists of Tianyu are used, it will not be easy to get a box office of 300 million US dollars. It also requires good scripts and stories."
Xu Yun repeatedly said that the topics he talked about were inseparable from good stories and good scripts!
How could Ding Zheng not feel it? Mr. Xu clearly despises him! He has no confidence in his script! But if people don't tell him directly, Ding Zheng can't figure it out on his own. That would be to slap himself in the mouth and eat coptis for a dumb person.
The feeling is so painful that I cannot describe it.
"Okay, Mr. Xu, I have already said what I think. If you feel it is inappropriate, then I have nothing to say." Ding Zhengdao said, "But I still want to advise you that making money is the purpose."
Xu Yun did not agree with his words: "Tianyu has made enough money, and that is the purpose of making Chinese movies rise."
"Why does Tiantian Entertainment make so many movies of average quality?" Ding Zheng asked rhetorically.
"Excuse me, which movie is of average quality?" Xu Yun also asked: "No matter how bad Tianyu's movies are, the box office can still exceed 100 million yuan. It won't lose money. Although Tianyu's purpose is to let Chinese movies rise.
, but this does not mean that Tianyu does not need to pay employees wages, I also have to support so many people."
Ding Zheng asked: "I came to discuss cooperation with Mr. Xu just to help Mr. Xu feed so many people in Tianyu."
Xu Yun said hurriedly: "Thank you, thank you. I am very grateful for Producer Ding's kindness. As long as there is a good script, we can definitely cooperate. But there is something I want to say up front, Producer Ding, I know you are a good screenwriter.
, However, Tianyu may not have the courage to do some scripts that borrow too much from them.”
Ding Zheng nodded: "I'm not that kind of person..."
"Producer Ding, we, Mr. Xu, have other things to do. You see, why not contact us as soon as we have a good script." Lin Ge answered, "We, Mr. Xu, came to see you in person to show his sincerity.
.Producer Ding, you also have to be sincere, right?"
Sincerity means that you have a good script, not just cobbled together and filmed to make money. There is something in Lin Ge's words.
It was the right time for him to speak at this time, because the two of them had nothing to talk about. Xu Yun needed to leave and let him figure it out for himself. Bai Xiaoye seemed to understand, but after Lin Ge finished speaking, he glanced at her, what did he mean?
It was to tell her that the original words were what she, the assistant, should have said, not him, the driver.
Ding Zheng had nothing more to say: "I'm really honored that Mr. Xu, who has so many things to do every day, still found time to come here. In this case, I won't bother Mr. Xu anymore. If I have the chance, I will definitely bring the best script to Tianyu Group.
Bring it to Mr. Xu."
Xu Yun smiled slightly, nodded, stood up, and left the club surrounded by Lin Ge and Bai Xiaoye.
Ding Zheng was left alone and smoking in the room with his assistant, unhappy.
"Mr. Xu looks young, but he's quite high-spirited! Brother Zheng, it's not like we don't have a place to shoot, what can we ask them to do?" the assistant said in an unhappy mood. Just now, because the other person's people were too popular, he didn't even think about it.
Dare to speak, but now that the person is gone, he can't help but say a few words.
Ding Zheng glared at him: "What do you know, what I want is? Fame. My reputation is stinky because of those things before. Look at how many people scold me on the Internet! People who are famous are those who like them forever.
There are more people than people who scold me. What about me? There are always more people who scold me than people who like me! I want to change, and I want a movie to prove it! If I cooperate with such a big company, then I can turn around! Let
Those who slander me should die!"
The assistant didn't say anything, feeling a little resentful in his heart. He still needs to "learn from" when writing about TV, and he must also "learn from" when writing about movies... If he doesn't borrow well, wouldn't he end up with a worse death?
However, this young and promising president of Tianyu Group is quite assertive and directly shuts out Ding Zheng! To put it bluntly, I really look down on you, but because of the reputation of the industry, I have nothing to do.
Let me take a look at you and tell you to stop harassing Tianyu Group and find another company.
For a person with such a reputation, any film and television company must weigh it before cooperating with it. They are not the kind of TV station with high ratings and confidence. He is notorious. If you don’t copy it, it will definitely not look good. If you copy it, it will definitely not be good.
You see... film and television companies are not philanthropists and will not engage in such uneconomical deals.
The polite refusal is because the boss of Tianyu has quality and is really ruthless. He must have scolded him long ago!
