Huayu since 1980

Chapter 292 Nouveau riche Wang Shuo (4100+ chapters, please subscribe~)

For a long time to come, Wu Jianye was very careful to avoid meeting Xie Jin again, and many friends who were familiar with Wu Jianye also made fun of Wu Jianye when talking about this past event .

Until later, after Jiang Yun starred in "Furong Town" directed by Xie Jin, Jiang Yun also joined the ranks of Wu Jianye.
In the evening, Wu Jianye had dinner with the entire crew of "Raise the Red Lantern" as well as Chen Peisi, Zhu Shimao, Fang Hui and other outsiders.

On the second day, everyone divided their things, but many people also inquired more or less about Wu Jianye's new movie, and wanted to continue to participate.

When Wu Jianye returned to Yanjing, he went to China Film to inquire about "The Last Emperor".

China Film Wu Jianye also brought an investment of US$100 million to Tangting Culture. The whole matter was discussed for about half a month, and finally came to a conclusion. In fact, the most important thing was about which studio participated. A movie with a gross of more than 2500 million U.S. dollars has become the movie with the largest investment in domestic history, and no film studio wants to let go of this opportunity.

The heads of every film studio are almost surrounded by China Film Group, fighting over this matter every day. In the end, the leaders finally got angry, and everyone seems to want to get the right to co-produce this film. , but they don't want to take money outside. Since there is no way to make it rain and dew evenly, then no one should worry about it.

China Film Group directly joined the ranks of co-producers of this film in its own name.

Since then, the movie "The Last Emperor" with the largest investment in Huaxia's history has been officially approved in China.

It is co-produced by Phantom Entertainment of America, Huaxia Film Company, and Tangting Culture. Among them, Phantom Entertainment and Tangting Culture have a joint venture of 2600 million U.S. dollars, and Huaxia Film is responsible for the domestic shooting situation and so on.

Don't think that you can immediately prepare the behind-the-scenes working group and start filming. Due to the particularity of this film, even the preliminary work is an arduous task. It is only a matter of persuading the Forbidden City to allow the crew to enter the Hall of Supreme Harmony for filming. It's all an extremely difficult thing.

This task alone would probably take several months, even with Xia Lao's help.

In addition to the preparation of the entire production team, the selection of performers, the study of history, the early training and a series of issues, it will take at least half a year. Wait until the end of next year or the beginning of the next year
Negotiations with the Cultural Relics Bureau require Wu Jianye to appear occasionally, expressing that they will never destroy any buildings in the Hall of Supreme Harmony during filming, and some subsidies to the Cultural Heritage Bureau require Wu Jianye to come forward. There is basically no need for Wu Jianye, even if he is the director of this movie.

At the same time, in order to show the formality, Phantom Entertainment also sent a person in charge, who is called the producer of this movie. It's about to poke the sky.

That was the first sentence after seeing Wu Jianye.

"Don't think that you are a big-name director just because you won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival. In our Hollywood, there has always been a supervisory system, so if your performance is not good, I will immediately suggest to the company to replace you. You are the director!"

Wu Jianye glanced at the second-rate producer, turned his head and left without saying a word, and the angry producer jumped up and shouted that the director Wu Jianye must be replaced.

As a result, these words immediately reached the ears of some directors with ulterior motives. They immediately found the producer and expressed their goodwill.

While the two parties were having a good time drinking, Wu Jianye called the United States, and Linda on the other end of the phone was swearing, which made Linda confused at first, and then realized that she was sent by herself It offended Wu Jianye, the real overlord.

On the second day, those directors with ulterior motives wanted to go to the producer again to continue public relations, but found that the producer had returned to the United States, and there was also news from China Film that due to work, Phantom Entertainment would A new supervisor will be sent over.
Afterwards, Wu Jianye ushered in a more leisurely life. He occasionally went to school to attend classes, or went to Tangting Culture for a sit-down. The place has already begun to recruit people. Although there are some administrative staff on duty, the business is nothing.
But soon Zheng Xiaolong invited Wang Shuo and Liang Zuo to Tangting Culture.

In Wu Jianye's office, Wang Shuo sat lazily on the sofa and looked unimpressive, while Liang Zuo sat upright and looked very formal. The two formed a sharp contrast.

He was already familiar with Wang Shuo, so Wu Jianye didn't care about him, but chatted with Liang Zuo first.

When the two met for the first time, it was inevitable that they were a little polite at first, but as the conversation deepened, they gradually became familiar with each other. Wu Jianye did not expect that Liang Zuo had read the novel "To Live", but he was very familiar with the novel's quality. The content is a bit more complicated.

"Liang Zuo, I have brought you here this time. I believe Xiaolong has told you about it. You have seen it on our side. It is a start-up, just a grass-roots team. I read your article in the newspaper. I want to let you You write about the life of an ordinary family in our Forty-Nine City, there is a rigid and dogmatic old man, there is a diligent boss, there is a younger brother who is not doing business, and there is a younger sister who is going to school."

If you ask which is the most famous domestic sitcom in the early 90s, then the TV series "I Love My Family" must be among the best, and the creator of this TV series is Liang Zuo in front of Wu Jianye.

One of the screenwriters of "The Story of the Editorial Department", Zheng Jing leaned on the sofa paralyzed and pretended to be dead.
Although this TV series was filmed in the early 90s in another time and space, it does not mean that it cannot be written now, it just puts the social affairs of the 90s in the 80s.

And Wu Jianye also has a bolder idea, which is to make this TV series into a series, not just one or two.

The United States has more than ten seasons of "The Big Bang Theory", "Friends" and a series of enduring sitcoms, why can't Huaxia.

And "I Love My Family" is a very good choice. A family laughing at the story of the late 80s and early 90s is a full attraction.

"Angkor, I've never written a script for a TV series, have I?" Liang Zuo said worriedly.

Liang Zuo was born in 57, while Wu Jianye was born in 56. Now Liang Zuo has called Wu Jianye Angkor.

"What does that matter? Everyone has their first time. When I wrote "The Peacock Princess", wasn't it also the first time I wrote a movie script? Didn't it also be successfully made into a movie?" Wu Jianye persuaded .

Zheng Xiaolong smiled and said, "That's right, Zuo Er, writing scripts is not a piece of cake for you."

Liang Zuo adjusted his glasses, and said modestly: "You can't say that, I really haven't done this before, and I'm just worried about wasting Angkor's good intentions."

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "There is nothing to waste. I believe in your ability, Zuo Er, you also know that there is still a blank space in our country in the sitcom area. If you write it, it will definitely arouse strong repercussions in the country." .”

Liang Zuo thought about it for a while, feeling that this is also a good opportunity, and said with a smile: "Well, I will try, if it doesn't work, then you can't blame me!"

"It's enough to have your words!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

After finalizing Liang Zuo, Wu Jianye looked at Wang Shuo who was about to fall asleep again, and said helplessly, "You treat my place as a dormitory for feelings!"

With a person like Wang Shuo, you can’t pretend to be heretics. This kind of person is that as long as he treats you as a friend, everyone will have a sincere friendship. There are not so many crooked ways. If he doesn’t treat you as a friend, you will praise him to the sky. , he also pays no attention to you.

"It's just you, you are still in the dormitory. I don't know how you thought of this sofa. Even if you don't get a leather one, don't get a nanmu one. It's driving me crazy." Wang Shuo complained.

"How is it? How is your novel going?" Wu Jianye asked.

"It's not bad, let's make ends meet, anyway, it can't compare with your big boss." Wang Shuo walked to the refrigerator unceremoniously, and took a can of Jianlibao for himself.

"If you want to come, I'll prepare an office for you here, and you can do it however you want!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

"Forget it, but I said that if you want to start a cultural company, make movies, and make TV, I have an idea. I didn't tell you this idea, but who made us friends? I won't tell you. , who are you going to tell!" Wang Shuo said proudly.

"what idea?"

"Look, if you invest several million in this company, sign all domestic writers, buy the film and television adaptation rights of their works, and just sell the scripts, you will make a lot of money."

Wang Shuo said eloquently.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "How about I sign you first, and you can open the price as you like, I'm sure I have nothing to say!"

In fact, this idea, when Wang Shuo and Feng Kuantao jointly established the first company, Wang Shuo once proposed his own "great idea", but at that time they had no plan to start the company, the slogan was It was loud, but there was no real operation at all.

The catchphrase is, one operation is as fierce as a tiger, and a closer look is stuck in place.

Later, Wang Shuo took this idea and joined the company of another friend of his.
Wang Shuo joked: "Then I want 20 and you give it too!"

Wu Jianye immediately nodded and said: "Success, let's sign the contract now, and the money will be given to you immediately. Let's make an agreement first. One spit and one nail. If you agree, you can't go back on your word!"

Wang Shuo: "."

Zheng Xiaolong: "."

Liang Zuo: "."

How valuable Wang Shuo is, you don’t need to repeat Wu Jianye, everyone knows it, and most importantly, as long as you tie Wang Shuo firmly to your chariot, not only his works, but also His influence in the Beijing circle can completely put the entire Beijing circle under his account based on Wang Shuo as the center point.
Wu Jianye knows the value of Wang Shuo, but the three of them don't know now, what is the concept of 20 yuan, and now writing a book can only cost more than 1 yuan, but Wu Jianye is willing to pay 20 yuan to sign Wang Shuo. Shuo, this made them look in disbelief.

Even the big-hearted Wang Shuo stammered a little at this time: "You are not joking!"

Without saying a word, Wu Jianye turned around and went to the safe next to his desk, took out a stack of contracts, and a checkbook, and wrote down a check for 20 yuan.

Take a pat on the table.

"As long as you sign this contract, the money will be yours!"

Wang Shuo glanced at Wu Jianye, "Are you serious?"

"True than pearls!"

"Come on, those who don't sign are idiots!" Wang Shuo picked up the contract and pen, and signed his name directly at the end without reading the content of the contract.

After signing, Wang Shuo took the check that Wu Jianye put on the table, and said proudly: "Yes, I am rich, and I invite you to have a big meal today!"

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

Zheng Xiaolong and Liang Zuo couldn't help but swear.

"Zuoer, what's the matter? Do you want to sign it too? The treatment is the same as Wang Shuo's!" Wu Jianye continued to fool Liang Zuo.

Although Liang Zuo envied Wang Shuo's contract, he knew his own affairs: "I am different from Wang Shuo, Wang Shuo has written two novels, but I haven't written a novel, so you trust me? "

Wu Jianye acted nonchalantly: "Believe it, you must believe it!"

Liang Zuo smiled and said, "Then I'll treat my brothers to dinner tomorrow!"

Wang Shuo signed the contract and invited him to dinner today, and Liang Zuo invited him to dinner tomorrow, so naturally he had to sign the contract.

Wu Jianye was also very happy, and directly took out another contract from the safe, and after Liang Zuo finished signing, he handed the other check to Liang Zuo.

"Little Dragon."

"No, don't look at me. I know how much I am. I'll just go to my job honestly. Anyway, you all have money, so you can't treat me badly. I'm going to be rich in the future. Eat you to death every day."

Seeing Zheng Xiaolong's refusal, Wu Jianye didn't say anything. Zheng Xiaolong is not a literati, and he has trained in the work unit for the past few years, so he sees farther than a literati. He knows what his strengths are, writing novels and scripts. Certainly not Wang Shuo and Liang Zuo's opponents.

Now that the country's economic reform is in full swing in various industries, he also wants to see more. If it doesn't work in the future, it won't be too late to hang out with Wu Jianye again.

Wang Shuo flipped through the check and looked back and forth, sighing: "I worked so hard to resell clothes a few years ago, and earned only a few thousand dollars. If I knew how to make money by writing a book, I would have written a book a long time ago."

"Haha, you will find that you will earn more in the future!"

"Don't, it's a lot. I don't know how to spend the money. I can't just take out the check when we are eating and slap it at the counter of the restaurant to ask the boss to change the money, right?"

"The bank is not closed yet. I'll let someone go with you to the bank and transfer the money to your own passbook." Wu Jianye said.

"Don't worry, let's eat first!" Wang Shuo put the check in his pocket casually, and said with a smile, "Now that I have money, I can't eat poorly. It's just the four of us, Mr. Wu, I'll take your money." Do you have any objections to calling more friends on the phone?"

"No, it's your treat anyway!"
