I become a big star after I sleep

Chapter 170 One Billion and the Heroine
"What deal?"

"One hundred million! Take it! Take it and I'll be yours!"

Zhou Xingxing's expression was a little excited, obviously disturbed by the [-] million yuan.

He stretched out his hands in front of Qin Muchu, talking about tigers and wolves.

"Ah--"

Seeing that Qin Muchu was accumulating phlegm, Zhou Xingxing immediately retracted his hands, and then heard Qin Muchu say angrily:

"I always give [-] to [-] million yuan at a time, only [-] million yuan, my body really can't do it."

"Three to five billion? Who can blow water..."

Zhou Xingxing suddenly realized the meaning of Qin Muchu's words, and immediately avoided with a look of disgust:

"You are so disgusting."

"It was you who disgusted me first." Qin Muchu remained expressionless.

After some gags, Zhou Xingxing stopped playing around:
"Chu Zai, I'm not joking. Are you willing to buy the shares of my...studio? Believe me, I will never let you pay for how much you spend. We can sign an agreement, if... ..."

"Starboy—"

Qin Muchu interrupted Zhou Xingxing's words, and said seriously:
"If you're really short of money, I'll lend you as much as you want, [-] million or [-] million, it doesn't matter, there's no need to sell your own."

What is the future value of Zhou Xingxing's studio? Qin Muchu knows that spending [-] million now is a premium, and [-] million may be a big profit in the near future.

He is unwilling to take advantage of this, and once there is an interest relationship between friends, the friendship is very likely to deteriorate.

Zhou Xingxing looked at Qin Muchu without blinking, and Qin Muchu looked at him calmly.

After a long time, Zhou Xingxing suddenly burst out laughing, picked up the book and dangled it around, seeming to laugh at himself:

"You idiot, how many days have you known me, and you want to lend me [-] to [-] million? With so much money, I got it and ran away immediately, making a fucking movie."

Qin Muchu also laughed:

"I'm not afraid. If I run away, I will find an actor who has worked with you, hold a press conference, and say that you are gay, exhibitionist, and impotent!"

The book swayed in front of Zhou Xingxing like a coincidence, blocking his face.

After a long silence, he suddenly stood up, threw away the book, put his hand in his mouth, and widened his eyes:

"Wow, why don't you be so vicious!"

Seeing this classic expression, Qin Muchu couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

He also stood up and walked out with Zhou Xingxing in his arms.

"The acting skills just now were too exaggerated, Xingzi, how can you win the actor like this."

"Those are what the worldly people think of me, don't you know what to do?"

"Black, I don't know."

……

At night, Qin Muchu returned to the hotel with a full belch.

The restaurant recommended by Zhou Xingxing tastes very good. The chef is from Hong Kong Island from Sichuan in the last century. He has been here for decades.

Zhou Xingxing and Qin Muchu chatted for a long time while eating.

In the end, Qin Muchu agreed to buy 40.00% of Zhou Xingxing Studio's shares at a price of [-] million yuan.

Zhou Xingxing, as a native of Hong Kong Island, thinks about the development of the mainland. Without the background of the mainland, it is impossible to have a living.

"Chaoqin Muchu" can provide him with shelter, but at the same time it won't eat him up, so it is the most suitable choice for him.

After all, if you signed with Huayi or other mainland entertainment companies, it is impossible to give such a high price, and if you do, there will inevitably be many restrictions.

That's really "selling yourself".

Unlike Qin Muchu, he was given complete freedom without any additional conditions, such as limiting how many movies he must make in a year.

Such a loose contract immediately moved Zhou Xingxing so much that he didn't know what to say. He was not good at expressing himself, so he could only drink non-stop, and only said "I won't let you pay" and "Thank you for trusting me" when he was drunk. talk.

As everyone knows, Qin Muchu also felt that it was a good deal to buy nearly half of "Zhou Xingxing" for [-] million.

It can be said that the two went in both directions.

"We ordinary people, we are so happy today..."

Qin Muchu hummed a ditty, swayed slightly, and walked towards his room.

He had also had a drink and was now slightly tipsy.

"Brother Wen? Why are you standing here? Do you need me?"

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Zhang Songwen standing there.

"Director Qin..."

Zhang Songwen's embarrassment, melancholy and other emotions were combined and intertwined, and he was completely different from his usual smiling face.

"what happened?"

Qin Muchu opened the door and walked in:
"Come in, let's talk about something."

Qin Muchu was sitting on the sofa, and Zhang Songwen was sitting opposite.

"This is your card."

Zhang Songwen handed the card to Qin Muchu with both hands.

Qin Muchu reached out to take it, stuffed it into his pocket as soon as he saw it, and looked at Zhang Songwen:

"That's it? Can't you just give it to me tomorrow? Do you still need to wait at the door at night?"

"Hehe, I'm afraid I'll lose it if I carry it with me, so I'll return it to you earlier to be more at ease."

Zhang Songwen rubbed his hands on his knees, looking preoccupied, and finally stood up:
"Director Qin, I spend a lot of money on shopping, a total of 720 Hong Kong dollars, remember to deduct it from my salary."

More than 6?
I didn't see that Brother Wen was quite willing to spend money.

But this little money is nothing to Qin Muchu, he waved his hand and leaned on the sofa:
"Okay, I'll remember. I drank some wine and fell asleep for a while, so I won't talk tonight. Brother Wen, you should go back and rest earlier."

"Okay, then you go to bed early, I'm going back."

Zhang Songwen walked to the door, and when he came to the door, he turned around and said, "Remember, it will be deducted from the salary."

Only Qin Muchu waved his hand in response.

"More than 6!"

As soon as the door was closed, Zhang Songwen leaned against the door, clutching his chest, feeling extremely distressed.

He didn't expect that the dolls that Sun Bijuan mentioned were so expensive. When the waiter asked him whether he wanted to "swipe card" or "cash" at the checkout, his hands trembling as he handed over the card.

He had never spent such a large sum of money in his life.

Never have such a daughter in the future, it's too uncute!

……

On the other side, Qin Muchu, who was just about to wash up and go to bed, received a call from Zhao Mingyu.

Qin Muchu sent a text message at night asking her to prepare [-] million yuan to buy the shares of Zhou Xingxing Studio. She didn't notice it at first, but when she saw the text message now, her first reaction was whether Qin Muchu's phone had been stolen.

Moreover, the person who stole his mobile phone knew his identity and sent this kind of message as a joke.

So she called right away to confirm.

"I posted it, and it's true. It's not a joke."

Qin Muchu confirmed Zhao Mingyu's uncertainty, and what followed was a long silence.

"Is there any problem? Not enough money?" Qin Muchu asked.

"No, there is no problem. The money is enough. It didn't cost much to buy the copyright. The company still has more than [-] million yuan in its account."

Zhao Mingyu replied, and then said with some hesitation:
"Director Qin, in the future, it's better not to send text messages for such important matters, but to talk about it in person... If it doesn't work, a phone call is fine."

There was a hint of helplessness and exhaustion hidden in Zhao Mingyu's tone.

A business of [-] million yuan is over after sending a text message.

This……

There is a visual sense of sending a message to tell the nanny what to eat today.

"Okay, next time for sure. That's it, then..."

Qin Muchu accepted the advice humbly and was about to hang up the phone.

He heard Zhao Mingyu's hasty stop.

"Wait, wait, Director Qin, I have something else to say."

After finally catching Qin Muchu, Zhao Mingyu naturally planned to report the things he had accumulated.

"The crew of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has been formed, and the director has already started casting, but Ms. Zhou Huimin, who was originally scheduled to play Shirley Yang, is no longer in the role. They asked if we have a replacement."

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is produced by Qin Muchu, participated in the screenwriting, and released it for other companies to shoot.

The theme of tomb robbery is a combination of mystery, suspense, thrill, and horror. If it is well-produced, it will be a popular TV series.

Taking advantage of the fact that the review standards for TV dramas are relatively open these days, as long as the script standards are well controlled, they can still be broadcast on the stars. Otherwise, the review will be stricter in the future, and they can only be played online.

There are many "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", each of which can make a movie or TV series.

Qin Muchu filmed one of them, and it was also the first one in the plot of the novel - "The Ancient City of Excellence".

Shirley Yang is the heroine in this film.

He grew up in the United States and is a descendant of Taoists who moved mountains. He is beautiful, calm and courageous, and has strong skills. He has saved the protagonist group in desperate situations many times.

It's an outstanding character in the novel.

Originally, Qin Muchu wanted Zhou Huimin to play the role, but Zhou Huimin didn't want to, so the role was vacated.

"Not yet, let them choose first. In addition, when casting, ask the author of the original work for his opinion, and see which actor he thinks is most similar to the character he created."

"understood."

……

After hanging up the phone, Qin Muchu dropped the phone and walked into the bathroom to take a shower. Under the hot water, the alcohol in his body seemed to have evaporated a lot, and his brain gradually became sober.

After walking out of the bathroom, the sleepiness dissipated a lot for a while, and he didn't want to sleep anymore. Since Zhao Mingyu mentioned "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" just now, he also simply thought about this TV series.

As the originator of tomb robbery novels, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" can also be regarded as the pinnacle in terms of quality.

Later, the author of "Tomb Raiders Notes", which was also very popular, is said to have written a book because he couldn't stand the slow writing of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

In terms of character setting, it also borrows from "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". For example, there is a fat man who is responsible for making jokes.

The plot of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is wonderful, and the characters are also very vivid. This drama has the potential to become a big hit. Whether it is adapted into a movie or a TV series, the audience will buy it.

In the previous life, "Looking for the Dragon" won a box office of more than one billion yuan, and Qin Muchu also went to the cinema to watch it.

There are similar blockbuster movies abroad, and the "Mummy" series is similar to it to some extent.

This shows that whether it is archaeology or tomb robbery, digging other people's graves is something that audiences at home and abroad love to watch.

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" itself is of high quality, which has been tested by readers. As long as it is adapted into a film and television script, it will not be changed randomly, and the filming effect will not be bad.

Because of this, Qin Muchu invited the original author of the novel to participate in the screenwriting and adaptation, restoring the plot of the novel to the greatest extent.

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" itself is very long, and there are many characters that can be developed, and many TV series and movies can be produced. If it is done well, it will be a big IP.

Qin Muchu wanted to use the same group of actors to finish "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" as much as possible. Just like Marvel, the actors and roles are almost indistinguishable from each other.

This is good and bad.

The advantage is that it can maximize the development of IP. After a series, the actors who play the roles are all the same actors, and the audience will naturally have a deeper impression and affection for the characters in this series.

The disadvantage is that it relies too much on the actor, and the audience has already determined that this role must be played by this actor.

Just like Marvel, after Downey stopped acting, the plot would directly write Iron Man to death. Otherwise, if someone else plays the role, it will definitely cause resistance from fans, and the loss outweighs the gain.

This is too passive for the film crew. Once something happens to the actors, it will have a great impact on TV series and movies.

For example, an actor's fame has risen and he wants to raise his salary; or the actor has committed some crimes and has been blocked.

Therefore, when Qin Muchu asked the director to choose a casting, if it was confirmed, he would directly sign a series of contracts and strictly examine the private life of the actors to reduce the risk of the above situation.

Although he is not the director of "Exquisite Ancient City", as a producer, his rights are greater than that of the director.

All casting of roles must be approved by him, and the shots are also reviewed by him. If he is not satisfied, he can ask for a reshoot or even change the director.

Shirley Yang is an outstanding female character in the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series. If this IP really becomes bigger, the value of this character is even more immeasurable.

It can become a role that an actor will remember for a lifetime by the audience.

Qin Muchu definitely gave priority to the artists of his company, but neither of the two old salted fish had any intention of acting.

You can't develop an IP by yourself, but you end up favoring artists from other companies, right?
After wiping his head with a bath towel, Qin Muchu began to think about who among the people he knew were suitable for the role of Shirley Yang.

Outstanding appearance, this is simple, there are not many actresses in the entertainment industry who are ugly, especially among the actresses I know.

Being physically strong means being able to shoot action scenes. This can also be practiced under the training of martial arts instructors. It is nothing more than how much effort you spend and whether you are willing to endure hardship.

Liu Xiqian is a swordsman, her martial arts moves are pretty good, and she has a foundation for action scenes.

Yang Mi also knows how to fight in modern times. She looks like her father and is very practical, but she doesn't know how to shoot it.

Film and television works are different from actual combat. Sometimes they have some bells and whistles, and the ornamental value is greater than the practicality.

Yang Mi can be regarded as having a foundation, and she should be able to get started quite quickly.

But both of them have a problem, they are too young.

The male protagonist Hu Bayi was in his early 30s in the first film, and Shirley Yang was around 27 or so.

Liu Xiqian and Yang Mi are less than twenty.

Moreover, Liu Xiqian's mother probably doesn't like TV dramas, especially after filming Hollywood blockbusters, she probably won't accept non-big production movies.

Yang Mi also said that a crew has contacted her recently. It is a costume drama called "Wang Zhaojun", a big CCTV drama.

You can tell from the name that the leading heroine of this drama is one of the four beauties known as "Luoyan", Wang Zhaojun's life experience from 16 to 25 years old.

After watching Qin Muchu's short film "Li Qingzhao", the director rejected the pursuit of Li Shuishui, Fan Shuishui and other big-name actresses, and did not shoot unless Yang Mi played Wang Zhaojun.

Yang Mi asked Qin Muchu's opinion if he wanted to act in this play, Qin Muchu said it depends on the script, if the script is good, he can take it.

In the next two days, Yang Mi will send the script. If the script is acceptable, it means that Yang Mi has no time to film "The Ancient City".

……

Back to "The Ancient City of Exquisiteness".

Shirley Yang must also have a heroic, clean and neat feeling, and heroic spirit.

Putting aside acting skills and only considering the actor's own characteristics, Zeng Li is quite suitable. Her appearance is that of Yujie and heroic.

Age appropriate too.

Zeng Li was also very interested at the beginning, but for some reason, I heard that this film will be filmed in a series, which may take more than ten years. When she wanted to play the heroine for more than ten years, she refused decisively.

In her words, she doesn't want to be limited to a certain role, but wants to pursue more possibilities as an actor.

Qin Muchu felt that she was talking nonsense, and she clearly wanted to continue being a salted fish.

Lying on the bed, Qin Muchu looked at the ceiling, speechless for a long time.

He planned to spend a lot of money to make "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", the service will not be worse than "Star You", and the special effects will not be less, and it's not the [-] cents...at least [-] yuan.

In such a big production, there is a feeling that the heroine cannot be found.

Shouldn't the actresses beg me for the unspoken rules of the filming team to grab this role?

Could it be that this good thing was stolen by the director?

Qin Muchu suddenly sat up.

He must strengthen the supervision of the casting of the crew, and resolutely prevent such things that corrupt the social atmosphere from happening!

"Ding-dong-"

The phone's text message beeps.

Click on the text message:

"Qin Sheng, do you lack a female companion for tomorrow's party?"

Qin Muchu's eyes lit up.

Not because of the text, but the person who sent the text.

She seems to be quite suitable for Shirley Yang...

(That’s all for this chapter today, the latest update is a little bit, because basically I run back and forth in the hospital, and the hospital is still in another city, the old man at home is undergoing surgery, so I have to take care of it, go to bed early, and update more tomorrow, sorry)
