Low Key Star - Chapter 332
Chapter 332 [332] “Shooting the Condors” promotional video
In order to take care of Zhang Hongkang’s feelings, I was mainly afraid that if he shuddered while driving, I would be unlucky too, so I didn’t tell Lin Yiran that “the ghost blows the lights” and only counted how much money he could make.
”Let the Bullets Fly” has a total investment of 83 million, Yiyang Film and Television has invested 40 million, Longsheng Media has 33 million, and Dunhuang Film and Television has 10 million. According to the investment ratio, Yiyang Film and Television has a dividend of 48.193%.
Because the complete idea and script of the film are publicized, this cannot be counted as an ordinary script. Therefore, after the three parties discussed, they all raised the proportion of dividends of Yiyang Film and Television to 50% as a show of favor.
This proportion is less than two points. Originally, according to Ge Long and Jia Yi’s ideas, it would be capped at hundreds of thousands or one million. According to the current situation, it must be divided into at least four hundred million, and one point is four million. …Even Ge Long thought the script was a bit expensive.
But naturally there is no resentment. Compared with the whole movie and the subsequent cooperation, this is really nothing, and for him, he didn’t actually do anything in this movie. One hundred and sixty million, more than five times more!
This kind of good thing, even if you sacrifice your life, it’s good!
When the time came to late January, the box office of “Let the Bullets Fly” was finally fixed at 1.34 billion, which was only more than 20 million away from the 1.37 billion of “Transformers 2”, which ranked third in the domestic market. Zhang Yang finally rejected the proposal to extend the release time.
The next step is naturally to plan the playback on Phoenix Video. Zhang Yang finally chose membership playback among several plans, but downloading the software will give a membership for a week, which is equivalent to free playback.
In addition to Phoenix Video, there are also TV stations, as well as two other online video platforms Lingxi and Mirage, who also want to negotiate, but Zhang Yang directly rejected the two video platforms without much consideration.
After the era of mobile Internet, he is very aware of the power and influence of online video platforms, and the head effect will be very obvious. He does not seek dominance, but Phoenix Video is lagging behind, and the exclusive resources he can get must be in his hands .
The two music festivals of Phoenix and Prisoner Niu had already been held at the end of last year. Zhang Yang once again missed the most important individual award of the year. He has basically made up his mind. Boring, not ready to join in the fun.
“Yi Tian”, “White-haired Witch”, “Peerless Twins” have already started filming, and “Dark Forest” is preparing for release. Zhang Yang had a short rest time a year ago. Schedule rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala.
He is still singing solo this year, and his repertoire has already been determined to be “Blue and White Porcelain”. This matter has been “revealed” on the Internet in advance, and some people regard it as “unlikely”, because no entertainment star has been on the stage for two consecutive years before. Records of the Spring Festival Gala.
But records are meant to be created and broken. For Zhang Yang, who has already seen the future trend of the Spring Festival Gala, after the tension of the past year, this year has actually been relatively flat.
After all, he is also a person who has earned hundreds of millions of box office revenue, so he has confidence.
After the school holiday, Zhang Yang and Lin still came to their animation company on the second day. One was to read the final script of “The Return of the Great Sage”, and the other was to see the company’s logo basically completed. They also came to have a look.
The name “Zhu Bajie” proposed by Lin Yiran was finally rejected by Zhang Yang physically, and then the two names “Xuanji” and “Caitiaowu” were proposed, which were also rejected by Lin Yiran in retaliation.
Finally adopted the name proposed by Wei Xiang, called “Tiangong”, which is very distinctive, at least everyone knows that it is a Chinese company.
On the way to the company, she mentioned this incident again, as if she still felt sorry for her “Zhu Bajie”, so Zhang Yang followed suit, explaining that “Xuanji” and “Caitiaowu” are also very good.
After arguing with each other for a long time, Zhang Yang quoted a common saying to describe this matter: “When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins… Listen to me earlier, how about calling it the Caitiao House?”
“Then why don’t you listen to me?”
Lin still bulged his cheeks, and was actually quite satisfied with the name “Tiangong”, but he was bored and had to make noise and show affection.
chattered a few more words, she suddenly seemed to understand something, turned her head and stared at Zhang Yang with bright eyes, Zhang Yang looked at her strangely while paying attention to the road conditions, “What’s wrong?”
“Humph!”
Lin still exhaled from his nose, his eyes were very contemptuous, as if he was a little shy, “Dirty!”
“what?”
“Humph!”
“No, you have to make it clear.”
“…what did you just say?”
“The snipe and the clam are fighting.”
Zhang Yang looked at her with a smile in his eyes, “It doesn’t need to be quite appropriate, what’s wrong?”
“nothing.”
“Then why are you scolding me?”
“…you are shameless.”
“Why am I shameless?”
“that is!”
“no!”
“that is!”
“Hey, your own thoughts are unhealthy, you make messy associations, and then plant them on me, don’t you think you are too much?”
“How do you know what I’m thinking if you don’t think about it?”
“Why don’t you suddenly call me shameless if you don’t think about it?”
“You are shameless.”
Tiangong Animation Studio is on the same floor as Yiyang Film and Television. The two came to the office familiarly, and a group of busy employees immediately greeted “Zhang Dong” and “Lin Dong” in one go.
Both of them responded with a smile, and went straight to Wei Xiang’s office, first looking at the company logo.
The logo adopts Lin Yiran’s design scheme. The first thing that appears on the screen is a bright moon in the magnificent night sky, and then a beautiful fairy with fluttering robes rushes towards the bright moon, and then another figure catches up, and the two fly up hand in hand. In the clouds, among the misty clouds, through the Tianmen, a corner of the magnificent and shocking Tiangong appears.
Then the two flew into Tiangong hand in hand, followed by the name of “Tiangong Animation Studio” slowly.
Honestly speaking, Zhang Yang actually felt a bit earthy.
But she is willing, and it is not a name like “Zhu Bajie”, so he naturally has no objection, after all, the two figures are based on the two of them.
The production of “The Return of the Great Sage” has not yet officially started. During this time, the main task of the studio is the company’s logo. The final product is unexpectedly good, whether it is the picture of the bright moon and the starry sky, or the model of the characters and the clothing details. Even floating clouds and Tiangong can bring excellent visual perception.
The next step is the formal work discussion. In addition to Zhang Yang, Lin Yiran, Wei Xiang, and Xu Yashan, there are two other employees, a total of six people participated.
Wei Xiang, as the director, introduced the content at the meeting.
“Let me first introduce the setting other than the story of the script. The time is at the end of the Sui Dynasty. Jiang Liuer is the ninth reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, which is the previous life of Tang Seng.”
”Sun Wukong was suppressed in the Five Elements Mountain. The original text of “Journey to the West” said that “the **** of earth was in prison and taught him to eat iron pills when he was hungry and drink copper juice when he was thirsty.” From this, two characters, the mountain **** and the land of the Five Elements Mountain. “
“Let’s talk about the content below. Jiang Liu’er’s parents passed by the Five Elements Mountain and were killed by a mountain monster. Before they died, they threw Jiang Liu’er into the river and were adopted by Jiang Liu’er’s master.”
“There is a story in the city about Monkey King, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, making troubles in the Heavenly Palace. Xiao Jiangliu’er admires the Monkey King who defies power and has great powers. His master gave him a doll of Monkey King.”
“In order to become immortals, the leader of the mountain demon wanted to capture boys and girls to make alchemy, so he sent the mountain demon down the mountain to catch boys and girls. Jiang Liu’er rescued a girl, but was chased by the mountain demon all the way and fled to Wuxing Mountain. Tathagata suppressed Sun Wukong’s posts, and Sun Wukong escaped.”
“The mountain **** guarding Sun Wukong chanted the mantra in time, urging Tathagata’s fatie to suppress Sun Wukong, but without Tathagata’s mana, he failed. Fatie finally turned himself into a seal, imprisoning Sun Wukong’s mana.”
“The mountain demon catches the girl, Jiang Liuer wants to ask Sun Wukong to protect him and send the girl home, Monkey King wants to go back to Huaguo Mountain, and the mountain **** wants to catch Monkey King and make atonement.”
…
Basically, the outline of the script is not much different from what Zhang Yang wrote before. It is mainly about polishing the details. There must be something that can mobilize people’s emotions, make people laugh, cry, move, and think…
The depth and theme have been determined, and it is mainly reflected in the mountain god. The performance here determines the emotional pavement for Monkey King to go to the sky again to seek justice from the Jade Emperor and Tathagata.
In addition to the theme, everyone has more viewing experience. In addition to the picture and plot, the lines and interaction of the characters are also very important. This is a test of a director’s ability.
After all, Zhang Yang can only talk and copy on paper. It is naturally difficult for him to write a script independently and completely. However, it is still okay to point out some problems from the standpoint of the audience, mainly some places that he finds embarrassing.
Arrived at the company in the morning, had a simple meal with Wei Xiang and others at noon, the two went back together, took a nap, then went out for a walk, had dinner outside, and then went home to watch the promotion of “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” together piece.
From a practical point of view, Zhang Yang’s talent in the theme song of martial arts TV series is directly proportional to the popularity and number of comebacks of this TV series.
It just so happens that “Shooting the Condor” is the most widely spread and most influential martial arts novel, and its number of remakes is second to none.
Therefore, the soundtrack of this drama is very generous.
But there is also a problem, that is, most of them are in Cantonese, and there are relatively few Mandarin versions, so there are not many choices for promotional songs, and the finalized one is “Heaven and Earth Are in My Heart”.
This is the best theme song and soundtrack of all TV dramas related to “Shooting the Condors” in his heart, not one of them.
At eight o’clock in the evening, sitting in front of the computer with Lin still in his arms, he clicked on the CTS version of the promotional video of “Legend of the Condor Heroes”, which was opened for viewing one minute earlier.
Full screen, play.
The picture lights up from the darkness, the sky and the earth are boundless, a horse gallops out, the erhu hums, and the horse neighs and blares resounding all over the field.
The heroic and desolate male voice sounded:
“Thousands of successes, success in a hundred battles”
“The side voices sing the wind”
