"Rainbow Bridge" is still fermenting on a small scale. Perhaps because the plot is too cliché, the score this time was lowered to 8.8 points.
It is a step down compared to last time, but 8.8 points is still definitely a high score, and even many directors can only dream of it in their lifetime.
As expected and reasonable, director Marcus's phone number and Leya's phone number were blown up.
Some people wanted to poach Marcus, and more people wanted to poach Leya. When they learned that they had signed a 15-year contract with Zhang Jing, they called the manager Barbie, and some also called Zhang Jing.
Among them is Candela's brother Cedric. This eldest brother is a rich man among the rich. He can obviously sleep flat, but he is a hard worker. He especially likes to make movies. He invests and shoots by himself. Small productions are not counted. , investing more than 100 million yuan to produce more than 7 movies.
but!
All of them were well-received but poorly received at the box office. The one with the lowest rating only had a 4.5 rating, and the one with the highest rating only had an 8.2 rating.
If the young master's father hadn't been a rich thief, no one would have looked down upon him.
But when Cedric saw Leia, the young master finally found the reason for the failure. It was not that the script was not good, nor that he was unprofessional in making movies, but that he chose the wrong protagonist.
On the phone, Cedric made a request to Zhang Jing, asking Leia to star in his new production, a Hollywood blockbuster costing more than 200 million yuan, and he was willing to pay 6 million yuan in salary as remuneration.
As expected, he was the richest man and offered a lot. Zhang Jingwei was money-oriented, so he naturally would not refuse and invited the other party to the Kanfen Farm for an interview.
Cedric readily agreed and agreed to meet in two hours.
The headquarters of Second Software Company is in Los Angeles, and Los Angeles is a paradise for the world's filmmakers, so Cedric naturally lives nearby.
After hanging up the phone, the phone rang again, this time it was Liang Jieshu calling.
"Dear," Zhang Jingrou asked, "do you miss me?"
"Brother Zhang," Liang Jieshu blushed slightly, "Congratulations, "Rainbow Bridge" has achieved good ratings."
"Thank you, are you okay?" Zhang Jing asked on the phone.
"Yes," Liang Jieshu replied shyly, "I have a script that has been written for more than a year. I want to see if it can be made into a movie. This is not a necessity or a requirement, it's just..."
"Send it to me," Zhang Jing interrupted Liang Jieshu. He knew her too well and was afraid of causing trouble to others and was worried about being considered as coercion. He comforted: "You are my girlfriend, you should give me the script earlier."
"I'm worried that if the writing is not good and you don't have the heart to reject me, it will result in a bad movie."
Zhang Jingneng could clearly feel the full love and care from Liang Jieshu, "Send it over and let me take a look first."
The woman responded gently, and then the script was sent to Zhang Jing's mobile phone.
Clicking on the text file, Zhang Jing sat in the car and read it slowly.
It should be noted that the script written by Liang Jieshu is still very old-fashioned, but it is better than "Rainbow Bridge".
The male protagonist is a car mechanic who secretly drives a client's luxury car out for fun on a rainy night. On the way, the car mechanic encounters a woman without an umbrella and kindly takes her home.
There was a long conversation in the car. The heroine was moved by the hero's funny words, and the hero also had a crush on the heroine.
The next day, the male protagonist drove again, deliberately coming to the place where he met the female protagonist last night and taking her home again.
The relationship heated up quickly over the past few days. It wasn't until the seventh day when the guest came to pick up the car that the young man discovered that the luxury car he had been stealing actually belonged to the heroine.
Logically speaking, it is illegal to steal a customer's car, but the heroine did not expose the hero, and the relationship between the two got closer.
The story is very cliche, but it is very comfortable to read. If Lea is still starring and Marcus directs, this movie should not be bad.
But accidents always happen unexpectedly. Candela's 50-year-old, medium-height, bearded eldest brother, Cedric, came to Zhang Jing with his new script.
The founder of the second software is over 80 years old, and the eldest son is only 50 years old. It is normal to marry late and have children later.
But the youngest daughter, Candela, is only 26 years old and is too much. At first glance, she is not born to the original wife.
In the living room of the third sea-view villa, Zhang Jing met Candela and her eldest brother Cedric.
Cedric has a straightforward personality and directly handed the script to Zhang Jing, "This is the script I bought. I plan to invest 200 million yuan and shoot it in three parts. I have just started selecting roles. The heroine is originally the child star Haili."
Child star Hailey's name sounds unfamiliar. She is famous for the western movie "True Grit", and her fresh and retro style is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Taking the thick script handed over by Cedric, Zhang Jing read it carefully.
The first page is a hand-drawn power map, mainly seven powers, namely Dasu Kingdom, Farah Kingdom, Hafen Kingdom, Dema Kingdom, Amin Kingdom, Lu Kingdom, and Qisha Kingdom.
Looking back, this is a medieval costume script with fictional history. It tells the story of a tyrant who has just completed the conquest of six countries and became the overlord of one party.
Because they were conquered by force, rebellions continued in various places. The counselors came up with the idea to let the new king patrol the old countries to show that the new king was tolerant and close to the people.
While inspecting the occupied area, the seven-story bamboo building the tyrant was riding in was set on fire and burned down by a hundred people, so he slaughtered an entire city. At this time, the weak male protagonist appeared as a survivor, and then the female protagonist appeared.
The content structure of the script is very large, and the scenes are also very large. No wonder the budget is 200 million yuan.
Putting down the script, Zhang Jing looked at Cedric and asked to the point, "Is the author of the script a descendant of the Dragon Kingdom?"
"Yes, he is a third-generation descendant of the Dragon Nation. This script was adapted from the stories he listened to his grandma telling when he was a child."
To be honest, the script is a good one, but Zhang Jing is worried that Leiya can't handle the heroine role.
She was also worried that Cedric was only a half-assed director and would make a bad movie with a good script, which would undermine Leia's confidence.
I was even more worried that this was the first time Cedric and Léa had collaborated, and that due to their different personalities, various contradictions and conflicts would arise, which would lead to the script being ruined.
There are a lot of things on his mind, but he can't say them directly because Cedric has money, and small investments don't count. He spends his own money to make his own movies, and has made seven movies with a cost of over 100 million.
Putting down the script for money's sake, Zhang Jing flattered and praised: "It's a very good script, very impressive. I feel it can surpass the Lord of the Rings series."
"Haha," Cedric laughed heartily, "I think so too. If Miss Leia can participate in this movie, the success rate will definitely be higher!"
"Let's talk about the remuneration." Zhang Jing is more concerned about money. "You just said this is a series with three movies."
Cedric nodded.
Zhang Jing was the first to think, "I think the salary of 5 million yuan per film is unreasonable. The second part should be increased to 10 million yuan, and the third part should be increased to 15 million yuan, for a total of 30 million yuan."
Cedric had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, "Mr. Zhang, do you have a misunderstanding about the purchasing power of the rice dollar? Moreover, one person's salary accounts for 25% of the entire budget. Do you think it is reasonable?"
"If the budget is not enough, I can invest part of it," Zhang Jing looked like he was not short of money, "I still have a prerequisite."
Cedric didn't need Zhang Jing's investment because he had a good father and he couldn't spend all his money. He just didn't want to be taken advantage of and said angrily: "What are the prerequisites?"
Clicking on the script written by Liang Jieshu, Zhang Jing handed the phone to Cedric and said in an unquestionable tone: "You will make this pure love movie with my contracted director Marcus. If the score is lower than 8.8, it will be treated as We have never met, so we won’t mention the cooperation in the future.”
Zhang Jing has good intentions and hopes to use small production to build a relationship, deepen understanding, and lay the foundation for a longer-term cooperation in the future. Cedric is a big guy, so he must seize it.
Cedric couldn't appreciate Zhang Jing's good intentions, but instead felt strongly insulted!
He has made many movies, but none of them have scored more than 8.8. Although everyone in life respects him on the surface, in fact, they all ridicule him behind the scenes, saying that all the movies he made are bad and he was just reincarnated into a good person.
Faced with Zhang Jing’s provocation, Cedric said he couldn’t bear it!
