Chapter 210 Negotiation

In a private room of Century Haoting Hotel in Huayang City, Zhang Duo and the three of them exchanged cups and drank hotly. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, Yang Hualong put down his glass and said:

"Director Zhang must be clear about my intention, and I won't go roundabouts! We CCTV want to buy the film and television adaptation rights of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber". Director Zhang will make a price!"

Zhang Duo smiled but shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Director Yang, whether it is the film and television adaptation rights of The Return of the Condor Heroes, I can't sell it!"

When Yang Hualong heard this, the smile on his face slowly solidified. He estimated the difficulty of this negotiation, but he didn't expect that Zhang Duo would give so much face and directly refused.

"Director Zhang, isn't it too insincere you to say that? As the saying goes, you asked for a sky-high price, and I paid back the money on the ground, but you refused. How can we talk about it next? Yang Hualong raised his eyebrows and looked a little unhappy.

Jin Yutang was beside him, drinking wine slowly, as if all this had nothing to do with him. Zhang Duo slightly upturned the corners of his mouth and smiled. Director Yang, you don't have to worry about this. If I guess correctly, CCTV really looks at the book Emperor Yongzheng. I don't know if I'm right?

Yang Hualong was shocked when he heard this. He didn't tell Jin Yutang that he wanted to buy that book. How did Zhang Duo guess it? Looking at Yang Hualong's doubtful expression, Zhang Duo smiled and said, "Director Yang, with all due respect, most of the films produced by CCTV's Chinese TV Series Production Center are masterpieces of historical themes. Martial arts films are not very suitable and not very good at them!"

Zhang Duo said this, but he felt that Hong Kong's martial arts dramas were well shot in the three places on both sides of the Taiwan Straits and the mainland. Two thousand years later, after more co-productions between the mainland and Hong Kong, there will often be some inconsistent styles. The most typical one is Guan Yunchang. The styles of literature and martial arts are so different that as soon as Cao Cao, played by Jiang Min, burst into laughter in the cinema.

"Since Director Zhang has seen it, I won't say anything secretly. You can make a price!" Yang Hualong said calmly.

Zhang Duo stretched out a finger and said, "One million!"

At this time, Jin Yutang finally didn't pretend to be invisible. He kicked Zhang Duo under the table and almost shouted. The adaptation rights of the book Emperor Yongzheng are sold for one million, and the price is not low. But if it is adapted from Wanbang Film and Television, it can also earn 10 to 20 million yuan and 1 million yuan for takeaway, which is simply a big loss.

When Yang Hualong heard this, he was overjoyed and felt that the price opened by Zhang Duo was fair. He raised his glass and said, "Well, thank you, Director Zhang!"

Zhang Duo stretched out his hand and said, "Hey, Director Yang, don't be in a hurry to drink. I have something else to say!" When Jin Yutang heard this, he finally made up his mind.

Yang Hualong became anxious, "Director Zhang, what do you mean?"

Zhang Duo smiled and said, "Director Yang, we Wanbang also make film and television dramas. Which film and television company you think has a good script that will not do it by itself, but sell it?"

"Here!" Yang Hualong pondered for a moment and didn't say anything more.

"Therefore, the film and television adaptation rights of Emperor Yongzheng can be sold to you, but our countries have to participate in the production!"

"This doesn't work. I can at most promise to let you Wanbang participate in investment and send actors. The production rights belong to our CCTV!" Yang Hualong answered decisively.

"Well, that's good too!" In fact, this is Zhang Duo's purpose, and he responded.

After sending Yang Hualong away, the two asked the waiter to remove the banquet and went to a pot of Longjing. Jin Yutang said helplessly, "This condition is good. After all, CCTV is covered by the General Administration. If we offend it, it will be difficult for our film to pass the review in the future!"

Zhang Duo picked up the teacup and took a sip and said, "Yes, if we weren't afraid that its influence was too great, we wouldn't have to shoot it ourselves!"

"CCTV's historical drama is still good. In addition, this novel is so popular that our investment is basically stable!" Jin Yutang laughed and said, "Come on, let's celebrate with tea instead of wine!"

Zhang Duo also picked up the teacup, met Jin Yutang, and then asked again, "Brother, how much is the box office and disc revenue of "Hero's Color"?" Jin Yutang has always been in charge of this matter, so Zhang Duo asked him.

Speaking of this, Jin Yutang said with a flies: "The Color of Heroes has just been painted, and its box office in Hong Kong is 58.8 million, making it the highest box office discourse film in Hong Kong. As for the discs, 3.8 million copies have been sold in the mainland, with sales reaching 57 million. Not including the box office in Southeast Asia, the mainland and Hong Kong alone have already reached more than 100 million!"

Zhang Duo was not surprised to hear it. With the classic degree of "Hero's Color", Zhang Duo will be surprised if he can't reach these. After this period of time, what are you going to do? Cousin Yu?"

"I think it's better for me to communicate with CCTV. I'm responsible for the joint production of Emperor Yongzheng with them."

Zhang Duo nodded and expressed his approval. After finishing Shanghai, he had to start preparing for Journey to the West! Except for Jin Yutang, no one is really suitable to contact CCTV.

Yang Hualong came to sign a contract with Zhang Duo the next day, and then flew back to the capital directly. In Yu Zeqing's office, Yang Hualong put the contract for the film and television adaptation rights of the Yongzheng Dynasty on the table. After reading it, Yu Zeqing nodded and smiled, "Well, well done. Although we have promised Wanbang's investment, the production rights are in our hands, which is very important!"

"Director, I thought that the artists under Wanbang were very popular. They asked to participate in the performance, so I agreed on my own initiative!"

"Oh, this is a good thing! In this way, the ratings will be more guaranteed in the future!"

"Taichang, in addition to signing Emperor Yongzheng, I found that the Shanghai Beach that Zhang Duo is shooting is good. I think the ratings in the future should be very impressive!" Yang Hualong said cautiously.

Yu Zeqing's eyes lit up and said, "What's a good way?" Yang Hualong told what he saw and heard on the set that day. After listening, Yu Zeqing closed his eyes and thought about it before saying, "When they go to the General Administration for review, let's take a look!" Yang Hualong heard it and smiled at the corners of his mouth.

That morning, as soon as Zhang Duo was about to go to the set, he received a phone call from Jiang Xiancheng. A Duo, on June 1st, the city held a book ordering meeting. I hope you can attend!"

Zhang Duo was stunned when he heard the words, and then said, "Didn't it last year be April 15? Why did you move to June 1st this year? I thought I wouldn't do it!"

Jiang Xiancheng smiled and said, "It was so successful last year, how can it not be done! It's just that the city leaders feel that the weather here is still too cold in April to hold such a grand event. On the contrary, in early June, the temperature is suitable, neither cold or hot, just let the merchants come to our Bincheng to relieve the summer heat!"

Zhang Duo smiled and said, "I didn't expect that our parents in Bincheng are quite humane?"

" Keep pace with the times!" Jiang Xiancheng took the sentence.

"Oi, I will respond to this matter. I will definitely arrive on time that day. By the way, is Wansheng Books all right? Zhang Duo asked casually. Jiang Xiancheng almost burst into tears and said to himself, my young master Zhang, you finally remembered that you still have a book company.

"Everything is fine, Master Zhang, let me give you a brief report?" Jiang Xiancheng said as if he wanted to show it.

"Forget it, forget it. When I go back to the company on June 1st, we are talking about it. I will go to the set first, and there are still a group of people waiting for me. Hang up first, Uncle Jiang!"

Jiang Xiancheng looked at the microphone with a "dudu" sound and couldn't laugh or cry. Chen Zhisheng next to him said puzzledly, "Why do I think Zhang Shao doesn't care about his novel at all? It seems that after writing, he doesn't care about the response of the market and how many copies he can sell! The problem is that the royalty income of the novel is definitely a big part of his income!"

Jiang Xiancheng is also a little strange. Although the list of writers and millionaires in 2001 has not been released, he knows that Zhang Duo is definitely at the top this time. If Zhang Duo is compared to a listed company, then writing novels to earn money should be his main business. But now it seems that writing novels is like a part-time job for Zhang Duo.

If two people knew that Zhang Duo's novel yawned at 11 or 12 o'clock every night, they would understand why Zhang Duo was numb. First of all, there is nothing to change in the novel. Just take a picture of the memory directly in your mind. Over time, no one will have **.

But filming is different from film and television dramas. Many works and stars in the previous life have not appeared in this world. In the process of reshaping the classics, Zhang Duo has a sense of re-creation, so he is more interested in filming.

After Zhang Duo rushed to the set, the people in the crew saw it, and their greetings were endless. Zhang Duo couldn't answer one by one, so he could only nod and smile.

The church scene has been filmed these days. It can be said that the scenes about the church in the whole Shanghai Beach will be filmed in these days. And among these scenes, the most classic is Xu Wenqiang's church marriage!

Zhang Duo walked to Dou Yuanli, who was sitting in a chair reading the script, and said with a smile, "Do you think I'm too strict?"

Seeing that Zhang Duo came, Dou Yuanli said uneasily, "My acting skills are too poor. Director Zhang has written the script so carefully that I can't do it yet. But director, don't worry, I... I will definitely play well."

Dou Yuanli knew that the opportunity was not easy to come by. After reading through the script, he felt that if the performance of Shanghai Beach was performed well, it would definitely make him very popular. Now he dreamed of himself as Xu Wenqiang, but he didn't expect that he had NG 19 times when filmed the wedding in the church yesterday.
