Reborn Tycoon Rise

Chapter 12 Luo Wei

Upon hearing this, Wu Peng asked: "300 a month? Your total income before was almost 3,000. You can't last long!"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about me, I will find a way in the future. After you come, I can concentrate on my business, and maybe I can earn more!"

Wu Peng thought for a while: "Okay, but I have to tell my parents, but it should be fine."

Xu Zhidao: "Then you have to get up early and come to my house. Actually, the main thing is to purchase goods. It's quite easy to look at the store and so on."

Wu Peng smiled and said: "No problem, I often follow my dad to get food, but the place is different, don't worry about that!"

……………………….

Wu Peng's family really doesn't have a problem with this matter. After all, his son may not be able to earn hundreds more a month by selling vegetables with him. It's always good to have extra income.

Xu Zhi can also relax and create with peace of mind.

People from Oriental Daily made several subsequent calls, but in the end they couldn't agree on the price. Other newspapers were similar. It seemed that this had become a rule. Even though there were so many newspapers competing with each other, no one was willing to raise the price.

Kowloon, Hong Kong Island: Zhou Ji Tea Restaurant

This is a relatively high-end hotel located in the prosperous area of ​​East Tsim Sha Tsui. From the hotel, you can see the Victoria Harbor opposite. There are always no vacancies in the seats near the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The shop area was about two thousand square feet, but there were hundreds of tables and chairs. At first glance, they were all filled with human heads. Xu Zhi walked around for a long time before he found Lin Wenzhou.

Originally, Huixing Daily and Xu Zhi had lost contact after the serialization of The Iron-Blooded Genius ended, but last night they suddenly received a call from Lin Wenzhou, asking them to come out for morning tea. I asked what the matter was, but refused to say anything. He only replied that we would talk about it in person. The phone bill was expensive...

I was about to sit across from Lin Wenzhou, but when I walked to the edge, I realized that there was someone sitting opposite. It was someone I knew. Of course, Xu Zhi knew him, but he didn’t know Xu Zhi, but Xu Zhi had played a lot of web games in his later generations. , after all, the advertisement is to kill him if he is a brother.

Lin Wenzhou smiled and said: "Come, Xu Sheng, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Luo Wei, the general manager of "Luo Wei Film Company". This is..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Zhi said with a smile: "Cheng Long, who doesn't know him in Xiangjiang?"

When Cheng Long heard this, he laughed and said, "Xu Sheng deserves the prize, how can I be famous?"

It's not that he is being modest. What Cheng Long is telling the truth at the moment is that he participated in the filming of a blockbuster last year - Fist of Fury. The subject matter is good, the acting is good, the heroine is also good, everything is good, but the box office is not good, and the investment is 600,000. The box office was 450,000, and Luo Wei, who invested in it, almost went bankrupt.

He has also participated in some movies before, but they were all supporting roles. Although he has gained some fame, many people in Hong Kong are only familiar with him. Just like the old TVB drama stars in later generations in the mainland, they know that this person is in the movie, but It may not be possible to tell what his name is or what movies he has acted in.

Seeing that Xu Zhi actually knew Cheng Long, Luo Wei was so happy: "Xu Sheng, please sit down, you're welcome, we're treating you today!"

Xu Zhi smiled and sat down

Lin Wenzhou said: "Xu Sheng, Luo Sheng came to our newspaper office yesterday to discuss a matter, which involves you, so today we will call you over to count them together."

Luo Wei smiled and said: "Xu Sheng, I'm a straightforward person, so I'll make it clear. Aaron and I have read your novel and we want to turn it into a movie. You give me a price and I'll buy it directly!"

There are a lot of pirated novels and pirated music these days, but making movies is different from making TV. These two things are beyond the reach of small companies, and they involve distribution and screening. Without the authorization of the original author, if it is actually made, the defendant will have to go to court to have fun. Big.

Xu Zhi frowned and thought for a while. He had actually guessed the other party's purpose, but there were some things that he still had to ask clearly: "Luo Sheng is sure you want to make this movie? There is a war plot in Iron-Blooded Prodigy, and the investment in this area is very huge. ?”

There was no computer technology in this era, and wars had to rely on people. If the number of people was too large, the funds would be too much, and if there were fewer people, it would be too distorted.

There seemed to be very few Xiangjiang movies in the 1980s that depicted large-scale wars, or maybe Xu Zhi hadn’t seen it, but Xu Zhi liked the TV series Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, which was released in 2004, and watched it many times. The plot, actors, etc. Nothing to say, Shi Feixuan shocked countless people, but the only distortion in the entire TV series was the war scene. There were only a few dozen people in the siege, a hundred people in large-scale operations, and a few dozen troops in the transfer. In short, People's feeling is--it's too fake

Xu Zhike didn’t want the movie adapted from his novel to turn out like this.

Luo Wei replied: "Xu Sheng doesn't have to worry about this, as long as you sell the copyright to me, I will worry about the other things!"

Xu Zhi understood what he said. In fact, Luo Wei wanted to buy the copyright first, and then decide whether to film or not. After all, after buying the copyright, he still had to think about some things from the perspective of making a movie: the war scenes that were too costly should be reduced. Or it could be cancelled, the film waste would have to be deleted, and some aspects of the plot would have to be changed.

Xu Zhi looked at Jackie Chan and asked Luo Wei, "Does Luo Sheng want Cheng Long to star?"

Luo Wei frowned and said, "I'm not sure yet. Xu Sheng's novels are good, but I guess he doesn't understand the movie very well!"

Xu Zhi didn't say much, but Liang Wenjing was a dull young man. In Xu Zhi's memory, Huang Rihuai's starring role was good, and it fit the style of the book, but Cheng Long was not suitable.

However, he is only a book author. He cannot have too much involvement in making movies, and it is impossible for others to give him this right. Not to mention writers, even screenwriters, in this era, no one has much right to speak, and the same is true in Hollywood - —Unless a real big shot.

Xu Zhidao: "Then I wonder how much Luo Sheng is willing to pay?" Since he doesn't want to talk anymore, it's better to be direct.

Luo Wei said: "Three thousand, I wonder what Xu Sheng thinks?"

Thirty thousand is not a small amount. In this era, many movies have a box office of hundreds of thousands, and the investment may only be one or two hundred thousand. It is not bad to use 3000 to buy the copyright of a movie.

Xu Zhi did not discuss the price and asked: "How many years is the copyright term?"

Luo Wei obviously didn't expect that Xu Zhi actually knew about this kind of thing, and replied: "Actually, we want to buy it permanently, that is, a one-time buyout!"

"No, let's talk about the number of years!" Xu Zhi said. He actually didn't care about the so-called number of years, but it didn't mean that the other party didn't care. It's always good to have a negotiating advantage.

Seeing that Xu Zhi disagreed, Luo Wei added, "Then we first need the exclusive copyright for five years, but at this price, we can only afford one thousand."
