Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 476 24 Hours Open
After a pleasant conversation, both sides got what they wanted and the atmosphere became more harmonious.
Now that we have come to this point, the issues regarding film project establishment and investment shares will naturally come to fruition and be taken for granted.
Among them, Principal Wang naturally accounts for the largest share. After all, he has the advantages of Yida Pictures and Yida Cinemas, which are unmatched by others, not to mention his close personal relationship with Wu Jing.
Zhou Dongsheng only "barely" got a share of the investment of 20 million, and this was an opportunity he had to actively fight for repeatedly.
After all, times have changed. There are many . The main reason why he came to Principal Wang first is to repay his favor.
And this so-called casting was just a by-product. Zhou Dongsheng's repeated enthusiasm for investment, plus the fact that he also helped with the publicity and promotion of "Wolf Warrior" when it was released.
Therefore, Zhou Dongsheng is also included in the scope of this "debt of favor", otherwise it may not be the turn of Zhou Dongsheng, an outsider.
Zhou Dongsheng was very satisfied after finally getting the film investment project he had been dreaming of for a long time. Suddenly, Zhou Dongsheng remembered an interesting story about casting.
I couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Brother Jing, have we decided on the heroine for this movie?"
Wu Jing did not doubt him and said happily: "We have already chosen a candidate. You may not be familiar with this person. His name is Xu Jiawen. He has played a battlefield doctor before and has experience in this field. I personally think he is more suitable..."
"What? Does Dongsheng have any recommended candidates?" Wu Jing reacted and asked with a smile.
After all, Zhou Dongsheng is also an investor. If he takes the initiative to recommend a female lead, Wu Jing will give her face.
Anyway, in this war-themed movie with a male lead, the heroine is just a foil. Her only function is to highlight the hero's heroism. Although she is the heroine, her importance is not high.
Of course, in order to ensure the quality of the film, even if it was recommended by Zhou Dongsheng, the audition had to be conducted, including Zhou Dongsheng himself.
When it comes to filming, Wu Jing is quite serious. He is responsible to himself and to the investors.
After all, this future was bought for him by his wife who had mortgaged their house. It was hard-earned, and Wu Jing would not squander it casually.
"No, I'm just asking to see which female star I'll deal with. I'm not really familiar with this female star..." Zhou Dongsheng chuckled.
I felt a slight movement in my heart. If this character turned against me again in the future, it would be a good opportunity that I could take advantage of.
Even if the quality of this heroine is not very high, she still represents the heroine of a movie with a box office of 5 billion. Of course, only Zhou Dongsheng knows this very well at the moment.
But if you give the opportunity away, when the dust settles, won't the effect be reflected? If you max out your favorability, won't you have the luminous script?
While Zhou Dongsheng was in high spirits, several other grown men couldn't help but smile knowingly, especially Principal Wang, who smiled the happiest.
"Then I won't make trouble. After all, the ones I know are all female internet celebrities...who are not presentable enough." Principal Wang joked cheerfully.
"That's hard to say. I'm very optimistic about the potential of the internet celebrity economy. Maybe there will be opportunities for me to appear on the big screen and enter the entertainment industry in the future. If that doesn't work out, I can even make my own movie then..."
Zhou Dongsheng made a joke, but unexpectedly, Principal Wang became more excited. "Oh? Do you also want to emulate Yi Xiaoxing? His ambitious movie just got a lot of problems..."
As a trendsetter at the forefront of the Internet, the Internet is not only a stage for Principal Wang, but also a place where he focuses on his hobbies.
When it comes to internet celebrities crossing over to other fields, "Never Expected" promoted by Yi Xiaoxing is indeed a typical example.
Relying on the massive popularity accumulated from online short dramas, he was determined to enter the big screen but suffered a Waterloo.
Principal Wang has a very good personal relationship with Yi Xiaoxing. He had previously helped with voluntary promotion on Weibo, so he felt it was .
When Principal Wang heard Zhou Dongsheng mention this, he became excited. After all, this was exactly the same path he wanted to take in the pan-entertainment field.
Zhou Dongsheng nodded helplessly . He was just joking, but he didn't expect Principal Wang to take it seriously.
However, in his impression, few internet celebrities have made it through cross-border development. After all, different professions mean different worlds, and the gap between real actors and internet celebrities is naturally huge.
Of course, the focus is on "real actors", ahem.
However, the current future is uncertain, and Zhou Dongsheng cannot guarantee this.
After mentioning this, the few of them did not dwell on this topic any longer. Having achieved the purpose of this trip and gained a lot, Wu Jing soon said goodbye. He still had to work on the preparations for the movie.
As for things like auditions and signing investment contracts, there is naturally no need to rush.
Liu will have to be admitted to the hospital tomorrow to prepare for surgery, and this brief and pleasant meeting has come to an end.
Before leaving, Principal Wang patted Zhou Dongsheng on the shoulder and said mysteriously: "I will come to see you tomorrow and take you to a place."
"Okay, everything in Shanghai has been almost done, and I'm preparing to return to Guangzhou." Zhou Dongsheng agreed immediately.
"That's perfect. I'll take this as a farewell to you. I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Principal Wang smiled mysteriously.
This trip to Shanghai has been long enough. It’s time to return to my base. Besides, the end of the year is approaching, and it’s only a month away from the Chinese New Year.
After staying in Guangzhou for a few days, Zhou Dongsheng will be ready to "return home in glory". Time flies so fast, and the second New Year after his rebirth is coming.
…
The next day, Zhou Dongsheng, who had a good sleep, worked out in the gym for an hour or two to make sure he had enough energy. After all, he didn't know what Principal Wang had arranged.
It was not until the sun was high in the sky that Principal Wang finally arrived. "Sorry, sorry, I'm late, but this is a good time to go."
Zhou Dongsheng looked at the bright sun and said uncertainly, "Is there any shop open this early?"
"Of course, that place is open 24 hours a day." Principal Wang said as a matter of course.
As Zhou Dongsheng sat in the passenger seat, he sighed, "This is too dedicated, can you handle it?"
Principal Wang didn't really hear it and replied casually, "What are you talking about? You'll know when you get there."
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but feel a little excited, but when Principal Wang's Rolls-Royce stopped at the door of a place, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but laugh.
"This is the place you said you would take me to?"
"What else do you think? Didn't you mention PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds yesterday? It's a good opportunity for me to bring you to take a look. After all, I didn't get my shares for free. I put in some effort." Principal Wang said excitedly.
The place in front of us is the favorite place of countless men since childhood, if not the only one.
Internet cafe! Oh no, to be precise, it is Wangyu Internet Cafe, one of the businesses invested by Principal Wang.
There was a huge picture of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds hanging at the door, showing many details of the game, including a Dongsheng brand frying pan, a vehicle chase, and an airdrop floating in the sky...
At the same time, there is an extremely eye-catching golden slogan "Good luck, eat chicken tonight"!
