Hong Kong Entertainment’s Life Simulator

Chapter 363 Aren’t you trying to jack up the pay?

A few days later, on February 28, in the first phase of Huayuan, Depp and Luo Jialiang were playing instruments and singing in the renovated and extremely soundproof karaoke room, when they heard...

This is the door of a professional karaoke room being banged.

The two stopped singing in disappointment. Depp put down his guitar and went to open the door. He saw Chen Jinhong complaining speechlessly, "Someone is looking for you, and it's from Sony."

Depp looked stunned, "Sony?? Yes, Sony bought Columbia? Did they ask me to make a movie again?"

In his slightly disgusted words, Luo Jialiang came up and said, "You guys, please stop being nice. Ah Hong and I want to make movies, but we haven't had the chance to act in a blockbuster yet."

Depp laughed and said, "Don't worry, I will give you a hand next time I have a chance."

Long before the filming of the second season of "Friends" started, he was thinking about forming a band with Luo Jialiang. He really likes music. In the original track, in 1993, with the help of the movie "Bonnie and Joan", he won the Second Golden Globe Award nomination.

Then he went to form the rock band P with other friends, and then the band Oasis and the Hollywood Vampires. It was not until he married that weird wife from the sea that caused some news to cause an international sensation that his music hobby gradually stopped.

At this stage, his relationship with Luo Jialiang is really good.

The second season of (Friends) has been aired. Three or four episodes have passed. Whether it is relying on the accumulation of fans in the first season or the strong bombing power of (Spider-Man 1), we can only say that the second season has started well...

There is no way to be more lucky. The ratings calculated by ATV have already swept East and Southeast Asia like the drama "Bao Qingtian". It has basically sold out the show in South Korea, Thailand, Xingjiapo, island countries and other places as soon as it is broadcast.

Moreover, the audience groups covered include not only white people, but also Asians. After all, Luo Jialiang, Chen Jinhong and Xiao Yingying are not transparent.

This is stronger than the original (Friends) Season 2 when it aired on A Mei. I can only say that (Spider-Man 1) is too powerful!

After a while, Sony President Sakamoto, who was originally waiting outside the door, was invited in. As soon as Sakamoto came in, he bowed to Depp at a 90-degree angle and said hello, with a very low posture.

Depp was a bit confused, so he could only ask the other party to take a seat in a slightly awkward manner. Sakamoto also quickly got to the point, "Mr. Depp, I am here on behalf of Sony to invite you to join the (Dracula) crew. If , I mean, if Mr. Depp can make it easier for our island country directors and behind-the-scenes producers to learn from the group after joining the group, we can pay you an additional remuneration of US$5 million in addition to the US$10 million salary. .”

Depp was confused, "What do you mean?"

Sakamoto's etiquette and attitude are naturally impeccable. "When a world-class superstar like you joins the crew, he will naturally not be short of bodyguards, agents, assistants, etc.? If we can arrange directors and producers from our island country to serve as these Role."

"That's an extra $5 million in compensation."

"We just want to help you make a good movie and learn some film and television production processes during the rest."

Depp was a little confused.

Luo Jialiang laughed and complained, "Damn it, aren't you trying to drive up the pay? They say it's extra remuneration, but do you dare to write down these extra items in the contract?"

"Even if Depp agrees in the end, doesn't that mean he signed a contract with a salary of US$15 million?"

Sakamoto stood up again and bowed 90 degrees, "I think as long as Spider-Man continues to be filmed and the trilogy is over, Mr. Depp will definitely be able to earn more than 15 million US dollars."

"And didn't we have a happy cooperation before? Sony also invested US$80 million in the production cost of Spider-Man 1?"

Depp glanced at Sakamoto in a daze, "I need to think about this."

Not just thinking about it, but also communicating with Zhao Films. In the current Hong Kong film industry, Zhao Films, 100 Years Pictures, Debao Films, etc. are cooperating with many big stars. The process of making movies is actually These film and television companies basically replace and take over the work of the agents and economic teams of the big stars.

The alternative agent team can help you smooth out a lot of things, and their commissions are much cheaper than those of CAA and the like.

Sakamoto was overjoyed, "Of course, you must think about this carefully. When you think about it, I will come to visit again. This time I hope you will think more about the (Dracula) project."

"Speaking of it, (Dracula) is also the origin project of Western vampire novels, right? Columbia has a related script called (400 Years of Horror). It was originally intended to be made into a TV series, but we thought we could try making a movie. try."

"At this stage, we are still talking to management."

Depp was still a little speechless, "Are you asking me to play Dracula? Am I too young?"

Of course he knows the famous name (Dracula), one of the originators of the vampire image, as well as names like Elizabeth and Van Helsing.

After chatting for a while and seeing Sakamoto off, Depp said in a daze, "Many companies have offered me blade contracts worth US$10 million. I'm used to it. Now I'm about to enter the US$15 million club? This is too fast. …”

"It feels a little unreal."

Luo Jialiang rolled his eyes and complained, "Didn't you hear that they have additional requirements? But these additional requirements don't seem to be too much. They will give you a team of assistants to serve you for free. They are just stealing their lessons while serving you."

Chen Jinhong asked curiously, "Isn't it true that the stock market crash and real estate crash in the island country are very severe? Is there still money to give you a salary of 15 million U.S. dollars and invite you to make a movie? That's a lot of money."

Luo Jialiang was happy, "Just because the stock market and real estate have collapsed, Sony and the others are more eager to open up new sources of revenue, right? (Spider-Man 1) has more than 800 million U.S. dollars in box office worldwide. If you can grasp this kind of money, you will know everything from beginning to end." I don’t know how to play it, but it can also satisfy theaters around the world, that’s great.”

"Anyway, Sony's Walkmans, VCRs, cameras, and its cooperation with Nintendo to develop game consoles, etc., are all cash cows. It's normal to spend a lot of money. They spent five to six billion US dollars to buy them. Brother Lumbia."

The three of them were discussing when the big brother rang loudly. Depp walked over to answer the call and exchanged a few words before hanging up the phone and saying with a weird look on his face, "Damn it, that guy from the Li family said he found a lover. I want to see the copy of the movie. Do you want to accept it?"

"What should I tell him? I've reached the threshold of $15 million in salary?"

He quit the contract with half of the new film (The Taiping Wheel), and he also knew that the contract stated that if he really took on Ju Shao's new film, the salary would rise with the market.

At first, he only received 5 million US dollars and 39 million Hong Kong dollars.

Are you going to contact Ah Ju now? ?

It had only been ten days, but he told Ah Ju that his salary might have risen to 15 million US dollars? Isn't it a bit inappropriate? ?

Luo Jialiang almost burst out laughing, "It's okay, you can just say it. It's the guys from the island country who are driving up the pay."

Ever since Ju Shao was tricked into quitting the Taiping Wheel crew like that, as senior insiders, everyone had a tacit understanding... That was the way Wang Yu, Ke Junxiong and others successfully deceived Ju Shao.

There were no obstacles and twists and turns, and Zhao Sheng didn't say anything to stop it. Wouldn't it be possible to understand what should be understood?

Depp clenched his fist and said quickly, "I'd better call ATV for consultation first."

………………

On March 2, (Hearing Girl) and (More Than Dies) were still being screened all over the world, including in Henan Province in the Mainland.

Today is only the 16th of the first lunar month, and the Lantern Festival has just passed, which means that these two movies have only been released for the 16th day. However, the posters for the new costume action movie starring Jet Li (Fang Shiyu) have been released and have gradually spread to all parts of East and Southeast Asia.

Isabel Adjani walked in her Adjani Lamps Factory in Zheng City with a high-spirited look. She explained various lamps to Zhao Donghuai with a smile, "Since it was determined through repeated deductions and observations by supercomputers, East China may have There were floods, and they were quite large.”

"Don't worry, my lamp factory is providing flashlights, miner's lamps, and camping lamps. It is guaranteed to be able to supply to a population of 1 to 20 million people. It is not difficult to provide one lamp for each family, not to mention one lamp for each family."

As for lamps, there are many lamps factories in the Mainland at this stage. The Adjani brand is not a big name in the Mainland. After all, since the factory was established in August last year, it was aimed at the European and American markets and rarely sold in the Mainland.

In the mainland lighting market, when it comes to outdoor and camping aspects, Adjani's lighting factory is indeed the most productive and of good quality. Other brands in the mainland are currently focusing on indoors. Mining lamps and flashlights are also very common and there are many brands.

However, in terms of battery life, emergency and fast charging, waterproofing and other related performances, Adjani lamps can be regarded as having considerable advantages in terms of technical strength. After all, the factory is built with advanced production lines imported from Europe and the United States.

For more than a year, Adjani lamps, except for Hong Kong and France, have not been very popular, and are still impacting the status of a mid-stream brand.

But the markets in Hong Kong Haowan and France are not small.

For the current Henan Province and Zhengzhou City, Adjani Lighting Factory is also a large taxpayer. It is not the first, but it is definitely first-class.

Zhao Donghuai nodded with emotion, "That's okay, hurry up with production and have it ready at any time. After the tour, let's go to Luola's factory to have a look."

Lola Fanna opened the factory at the same time as Adjani, and the location was also in Zheng City. She mainly felt that it was close to Adjani. Her main focus was tents, sleeping bags, portable tables and chairs, moisture-proof mats, and mountaineering bags needed for outdoor camping. Wait, the situation is similar to that of Adjani. In addition to selling well in Haowan, Hong Kong and Spain, her Laura brand is also a mid-level brand in the same industry in other parts of Europe and the United States.

Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places have mobilized in all aspects to prepare for flood control, and the need for these related items is also extremely huge.

Just say that during the rain disaster period, there were 2 million homeless victims stretched out on the Qinhuai River embankment. In terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, what did they not need assistance for?

Preparations have been made for medicines, food, etc., and Zhao Donghuai here is doing his best to prepare for war.

Adjani smiled and said, "When the time comes, I will learn from you and donate all the supplies, right? I plan to live in Hong Kong Island for the rest of my life. Even if I may go to Europe and the United States to make a movie, I will always come back and do some charity." Is it considered to promote Sino-French friendship?”

Before today, the goods had already been produced and stockpiled, but Zhao Donghuai had not really discussed whether to sell or give them away. When Adjani mentioned it, he nodded, "It's easy to say, it's all a trivial matter."

Supplying lamps for a population of one to two hundred million or even more... It's not a small amount of money, but the money Adjani earns from selling merchandise for a movie can be easily earned over time.

Another thing is that her donation at production price and retail price are not the same thing. He returned to the mainland the day before yesterday to inspect some related factories, such as Afa’s umbrellas and raincoats, including Chen Derong’s water Basin bucket...

When a rainstorm breaks out, millions or tens of millions of people will be homeless and sleep on embankments. Starting with a bucket or glass, they are all necessary items.

In terms of diet, instant noodles can be eaten dry, but it cannot be said that they should be eaten dry all the time. It is still necessary to try to transport some electric pots, or steel cups, pots, etc. needed in the field.

The electric pot is a bit luxurious, but you can still look forward to the briquette-fired iron pot. The briquettes and briquettes are supported by official arrangements.

With the Chinese people's momentum since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Hard Steel Allied Forces were on the ground, and it was not until 1991 that they took the initiative to seek help from the international community for the first time. This is enough to witness the horror of floods, and no matter how well prepared they are, it is impossible to be too prepared.

While the two were walking and talking, Wang Zuxian and two female secretaries and assistants came from the corner of the corridor in front. He casually greeted Adjani while walking and said, "Boss, Huang Baiming reported a piece of news."

"He said he wanted to make a movie (Summer Lover) with Aju, starring Depp and Aniston, and he also wanted to hire a new supporting actress, Julia Roberts."

Zhao Donghuai said in astonishment, "Is it such a big deal?"

Xiaoxian smiled and nodded, "Isn't it that Aju can pay the bill? Originally Ajuti's script was a love script called (A Tale of Two Cities). He wanted to produce it himself, with the Li family investing entirely, or would Director Huang run it? I went to talk to Ju Shao and then I turned to wanting to shoot (Summer Lover).”

Zhao Donghuai smiled, "Do Ju and Huang Baiming know that Depp's salary has increased? Even if the island country guy has bad intentions and wants to do other things, it will be written in the contract that Depp will be paid US$15 million in the end. "

On the 28th, Depp reported the news to ATV. He was already in Guangdong Province at the time, but after working on the phone, he agreed.

Can Depp be pushed to $1,500 in the Hong Kong film industry? ? This is a display of Hong Kong film’s hard power.

At this stage, not many people in Hollywood can get 15 million US dollars. As for the 20 million dollar club? That was basically the mid-to-late 1990s, when Jim Carrey, Hanks, Michael, John, Harrison and other established white male giants broke into the 20 million club.

Nowadays in Hollywood, Tom is the only one who has already proposed a share of the remuneration and asked for a share without being cheated, so he can make a profit of 15 million US dollars or more from a movie.

Depp's Spider-Man 1 has reached the 10 million club, which is a top-notch performance.

This represents the explosive remuneration of Hong Kong film stars. Zhao Donghuai will not refuse. You said that once Depp signs (Dracula), his life will begin to collapse for the island nation's film and television producer, really from (Dracula) ) Did the crew learn about blockbuster production? ?

In fact, until now, the island country has not fully understood one thing. They want to control Columbia. Even if they understand the production model, how can the global theater chain handle it? That's just a waste of time, a fool's errand.

Theaters are the biggest stumbling block.

This is the reason why Zhao Donghuai does not object to Depp receiving a salary of US$15 million when speaking to the outside world.

Wang Zuxian shook his head, "You probably don't know yet. Ah Ju thought that just holding a new movie contract would be enough, but when he and Huang Baiming went to invite Depp, they should know about the new pitfalls."

"What do you think about this project? This project is mainly about Huang Baiming independently setting up New Art City and establishing Yonggao Films' pioneering masterpiece. They also asked you if you want to buy 51% of Yonggao's shares. In addition to Huang Baiming, the other shareholder is Luo Jiecheng. , is a good friend of Ah Hing, the Tiger of Wan Chai."

Zhao Donghuai shrugged, "I don't care, they can shoot if they want, and I won't invest in it."

If you really want to invest in it, then "Summer Lover" will be an in-house movie. How can Depp, Jennifer Aniston, and Julia Roberts get any amazing salary?

Is this true? I wonder if they will be scared off when it comes to the final salary? That's not right, they all want to hire Julia Roberts, and the other party's movie now costs six to seven million US dollars.

So the overall situation is already much more ruthless. How about an additional $5 million for extra stimulation? Doesn't it seem too scary?

The lineup of (Summer Lovers) clearly shows that they are using the appeal of several white superstars to cheat the box office in Europe and the United States.

As for the (Summer Lover) book? Zhao Donghuai really has a little impression of it. The original track starred Zhang Gedu, Huang Zhan, Mo Shaocong, Zhou Huimin, Li Lizhen, Ye Yuqing and others. It was written by Gao Zhisen's apprentice Ma Weihao and directed by Gao Zhisen.

The lineup was pretty good when it was released in 1992. At that time, Ye Yuqing became famous with the help of the series "Can't Help It" and "Qing Ben Jiaren"! !

And the box office? Hong Kong Island took in 8.5 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, ranking 45th on the 1992 annual box office list. This was still 45th among Chinese-language films, excluding Hollywood blockbusters.

Ranked at the box office of Hollywood blockbusters, it would have been ranked outside the 50th place in its original trajectory.

so? ? Zhao Donghuai would be a fool to invest in Huang Baiming's new company. Looking at Yonggao Film and Television from its opening to the end, there is only one movie (92 version of Happy Events in the Family) that is a super hit, but this movie was finished and released long ago. It was released in the late 1980s. It's done, the copyright belongs to Princess Jin.

You said (there is a happy event in the 97 family)? At that time, Yonggao had been bankrupt for two years.

The next moment, Zhao Donghuai asked curiously, "Aju asked his father for money again? I really didn't expect that he was not only chasing capital (Ci Ling), but now he can also cooperate with Huang Baiming, and he also wants to invite Julia Roberts?" "

Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment, "I think I heard that Ju Shao went to the bank to borrow money. He was taking a big gamble after losing more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars before (Tai Ping Wheel) officially started filming."

Zhao Donghuai couldn't help but fell into silence. Depp's 15 million US dollars, Aniston and Julia's 13 million US dollars, and 218 million Hong Kong dollars in salary investment? ? Even if Ah Ju has paid 62.4 million Hong Kong dollars, that is still a balance of 156 million.

"How much did Yonggao invest?"

Xiaoxian explained, "It seems that the remuneration is 50 million Hong Kong dollars, and then the director, assistant director and supporting cast team are all covered. Ah Ju accounts for 70% of the total investment, and there is 30%!"

In terms of salary investment, Yonggao only accounts for 22%-24%.

What percentage should be added to other productions? ? good.

No, at this stage they don’t know that Depp has increased his price? Do you think the total salary of three white stars is HK$179 million? The investment ratio of 50 million accounts for about 27%, and only 30% was set?

Good guy, Ah Ju is also good at bargaining.

Forget it, it’s really hard to say whether a mediocre love movie can help those guys recover their profits in the end. What if it turns out to be another money-loser?

Wait, the script and plot of "Summer Lover" seems to be pretty good. It is mainly a comedy starring the male lead Zhang Gambling and poisoning. It always gives people a movie-watching feeling that is better than a cat painting a tiger or a monkey. Will the box office be so miserable?

Zhang Beidu starred in the original track (The Legend of Truant Heroes) and followed the trend (Truant School Dragon 1). Except for Ah Xing, almost all the original cast members were invited, including Zhang Min, Qiu Shuzhen, Huang Bingyao, Wu Mengda, and even Huang Xiaogui and the chemistry teacher. Even Aaron Kwok came to play a supporting role for him, and he even rushed to release it before "The Dragon Back to School 2".

The director is Wang Jing.

Just rush to the street...

If Ah Ju invites a cast like this, will the movie become a box office hit? In fact, the book (Summer Lover) is quite interesting.

………………

In an office building in Kowloon Tong, when A Ju knocked on the door of Huang Baiming's office, before Huang Baiming could say anything, A Ju went straight to the point, "Brother Ming, I was scared by the script of (Taiping Wheel) before."

"This time we are working together on (Summer Lover). After I went back and thought about it again and again, I always felt that this script can be changed again? Try to make it better?"

Ah Ju is still in a good mood now. (Taipinglun) has a new script structure and is already planning to officially start filming. He doesn't know about this. He is the one who is being kept in the dark.

Wang Yu, Xiang Laoshi and other people were not familiar with him, and they only cheated him out of money once. Of course, they had to hide it in the early stage. As for the project submission to Zhao Donghuai, they felt that the new script was okay and ready for filming.

Zhao's Pictures will not directly tell Ah Ju in a big way.

He really thought he had jumped out of a big pit. Losing more than 37 million Hong Kong dollars was a big pitfall, but it was better than throwing all the 100 million Hong Kong dollars invested there, right?

And as long as the new movie is made, big stars like Depp and Aniston can make a lot of money at the box office by just shooting a love story. You haven't seen the Hui family's Ah Heng (new love) How much did you earn?

In the end, the total box office exceeded 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars!

Compared with this big prospect, the first loss of more than 37 million is not unbearable.

He first got a book written by Li Zhiyi, (A Tale of Two Cities), which is about a love triangle. It tells the story of the male lead, a big singer, who has a brilliant career. When he reunites with his childhood best friend, the second male lead, he is introduced to the female lead by the second male lead, and he falls in love with her. heroine.

But the second male lead got to know and like the female protagonist earlier.

Then the two male protagonists are backing away from their friendship. After the collapse of their careers, the second male protagonist plans to leave completely to help the first male and female protagonists. The first male also takes a step back after learning about it, putting aside his love and career first, and completing his childhood with the second male protagonist. dream.

In the end, the hero and the heroine end up together.

It’s about love, friendship, brotherhood, and the male’s career is music!

No matter how I looked at it, Ah Ju thought the script was good and wanted to film it all by himself. That's when Huang Baiming came to him and wanted to cooperate, and he also came up with the script of (Summer Lover).

At first, Ah Ju disagreed. He too wanted to rush into the glory of the love triangle of A Tale of Two Cities (New Love).

But Huang Baiming asked him, apart from being an actor once, you don't understand the process of film project establishment, location scouting, preparation of shooting plans, starting a team from scratch and completing post-production, right? What if you find an unreliable director, assistant director, etc. who join forces to trick you?

It's a trivial matter to cheat you out of money, but if you don't understand the rules and reveal the privacy of a big star to an unscrupulous tabloid in order to make money, and hype it up, which angers several protagonists and stops filming, what should you do?

To describe it simply, Huang Baiming said that Ah Ju can't live up to the rules... Hong Kong Island's general entertainment weekly gossip magazine rarely reports negative news about celebrities, including romantic relationships.

Since Murdoch came and took over Daily Daily and Ming Pao, his paparazzi such as The Sun have also been active here. It's just Zhao Donghuai shaking them, and those paparazzi don't dare to mess around.

But they are still keen on gossiping about celebrities and scandals. Even if the filming is not published in the newspapers, it is still common to contact the celebrities to ask for hush money.

Ah Ju can also pay hush money, but if the number of times is high, are he really not afraid of angering Depp and others? Aniston has no gossip, but Depp...he is not a saint. To be precise, Depp was married and divorced before coming to Hong Kong.

At this stage, there is no talk about people in the industry, but it is still common to occasionally give back to his fans for welfare. He likes to be in the rock circle and knows everything about rock.

Ah Ju was convinced and turned to cooperate with Huang Baiming. Not only was this a senior filmmaker, he also had a commanding presence on the set. Another Yung Ko partner was a good friend of Sun Kee Tigers of Wan Chai.

After Tiger of Wan Chai died, he personally directed a movie (Tiger of Wan Chai) to commemorate his old friend, and it was easy to control the situation... At least at this stage, the opponent's intimidation power is stronger than that of Ah Ju, an ordinary rich second generation. too much.

But after thinking about it, Ah Ju felt that the script of "Summer Lovers" was still not quite right.

What does this script say? The male lead has a crush on the female lead 2 at first, and fails to make an appointment with the female lead 2 to celebrate her birthday on his birthday. He feels very lost and dejected.

I went to a laser disc store with my best friend, wanting to choose a disc and watch a movie to relieve my boredom.

The disc seller gave the man a laser disc and said that if you are broken up, you should watch this. It is specially designed to teach people how to fall in love. (For you who are heartbroken). When you go home and open it, the girl runs out of the TV. Now, teach men to fall in love and chase women.

After he taught the first man, he gradually became successful, and the second woman agreed to him.

The first girl also fell in love with the first guy, but she disappeared, returned to the CD, and couldn't be found. The first guy fell in love, and the second girl angrily married someone else.

The first man's friend and co-worker, the second man, took away another laser disc (Unstoppable Love) at the same time. After seven days and seven nights, his hair turned white. The original couple was Mo Shaocong and Li Lizhen.

The finale is an open ending three years later, when the male first met a beautiful girl who looked the same as the female first at work, and after she left, he started to pursue her.

When Ah Ju read the script for the first time, he was impressed by how good it was and how creative it was.

It's like the otakus of later generations hope that the teachers in the D drive will come out one by one and play games with you. It's very gimmick.

It can be funny, shocking, and all kinds of nonsensical misunderstandings.

But after thinking about it, he felt that it was not very reliable. He always felt that something was strange, but he couldn't explain it and couldn't describe it accurately.

Having experienced the psychological shadow of Wu Yusen backstabbing them, Ah Ju now needs a sense of security too much, so he asked to continue changing the script.

Huang Baiming was stunned for a moment, then asked Ah Ju to sit down and poured tea, "Young Master Ju, how do you plan to change it?"

Ah Ju drank a cup of kung fu tea in silence and asked tentatively, "How about changing it to, the laser girl from the female lead is not missing, but has been left at home by the male lead?"

"He caught up with the second girl, and she married him? When the second girl was at home, he put the laser girl away, and when the second girl went out, he let the first girl out?"

Lao Huang was silent for dozens of seconds while being fucked, "Ah... this has no artistic connotation, right? It's like a salty and wet film."

Aju said in astonishment, "How could that happen? Don't you think? It's very satisfying? It's much more enjoyable than your ending where the photo is left blank?"

Huang Baiming gave Ju Shao a strange look. He didn't explicitly say that the script of the movie "Summer Lover" was suspected of plagiarizing the Japanese manga "Movie Girls".

The (Movie Girl) manga is Katsura Masakazu's masterpiece, setting an example for Katsura Masakazu to reach the pinnacle of his career. In the manga world of the island country, this man is almost as famous as Akira Toriyama. Akira Toriyama has drawn almost seven comics in Hong Kong. (Dragon Ball) series.

The fact that Kei Masakazu can chase Toriyama in popularity with the help of a (Movie Girl) manga is enough to prove how popular the plagiarized things of (Summer Lover) are in the market...

Of course, Gao Zhisen's disciple Ma Weihao plagiarized and simply changed it.

But after Huang has wooed Ju Shao and wants to invite Depp, Aniston and even Julia Roberts to star, he has arranged for people to contact the island country to buy the adaptation rights.

He also found out that there are also attempts to adapt the movie girl into a series of audio and video works such as radio dramas, live-action movies, novels, etc., and great singers like Noriko Sakai are considering producing the theme song of the album of the same name for the comic.

It is enough to witness the popularity of this comic.

He is quite satisfied with Ma Weihao's book. Isn't Ah Ju just messing around?

Why don't you try to bypass Ah Ju and ask Depp directly if he is willing to take on this version of "Summer Lovers"? If you want, funds are a big problem. You can't go back to Lei Juekun for help.

But it is not impossible to consider that the original track was that he and others founded Yonggao Films. That was when New Art City went bankrupt and was disbanded, and he and Roger took on the new financial backer to open Yonggao.

Now he just wants to earn more dividends and shares, so he left Xinyi City to open Yonggao.

What he turned his back on this time was Mai Jia and Ishida. The share they had been giving him was too little. If a major shareholder like Ju Shao participated in changing the plot at will and made too many demands, it would be better to find Lei Sheng to cooperate again.

Anyway, after talking to Ah Ju, they only paid 50 million Hong Kong dollars plus full production to get 30% of the profit.

Seeing that Huang Baiming was silent and stopped talking, Ah Ju smiled and took out a cigarette, "I can only think of these plot changes for now, and I will elaborate on the other ones later when I think of them."

"I also have a suggestion, should I play the role of the second male lead who harms his friend? As for the heroine in the script (Can't Stop Love), please hire Dita Von Teese from the thigh era?"

"I think my performance opposite her is pretty good."

"When the time comes, Brother Ming, please persuade her more and let her contribute to art. But after the filming is completed, on the grounds that it will not affect the number of theaters arranged and the classification restrictions, can you cut some of it?"

Huang Baiming became even more silent.

He had heard about Ju Shao Investment (Ci Ling), and he pursued Mei Chen Amick but was rejected. Unexpectedly, he wanted to play more showy this time? ?

After a few minutes, he frowned and said, "What if Dita Vantes wants to add drama?"

Ah Dahu smiled, "As long as she is obedient and adds drama, and it doesn't affect the overall structure, it's not impossible to add her occasionally. Are you right, Brother Ming?"

When Lao Huang heard this, he almost wanted to vomit in Ah Ju's face.

Damn it, the team hasn’t started yet, it’s just a verbal agreement, so let’s do it like this. This is not the same as a big financial backer like Lei Sheng. Forget it, we haven’t talked to Depp yet and haven’t signed a contract yet.

I'm going to make an appointment with Depp tonight and ask him to read the script. As long as I can buy the rights to the island country and impress Depp with the script, he won't abandon Ah Ju and will work with Lei Sheng.

Let Ah Ju do the cliché movie (A Tale of Two Cities).
