Chapter 1155: Liang Ren's Distress

"Lao Bai's new book "No One Survives" is on the shelves, and three overseas countries have topped the sales list!"

The headlines on the APP were small, which directly made Wu Zhigang's eyes widen. But for fear that it would be the title party, he hurriedly clicked in to take a look, and immediately slapped his thigh excitedly: "It's amazing my white big, it turned out to be New Zealand, Australia and Switzerland...... Australia even won the first place? This one is strong! ”

"Huh? That's not right! ”

After being excited for a while, Wu Zhigang suddenly had an agitation: "Have Huaxia's books won the sales championship abroad before?" This, this should be the first time, right? ”

Subconsciously, Wu Zhigang has excluded Southeast Asia from the category of "overseas".

Quickly searched on the Internet, and he quickly determined: the real meaning of the foreign champion must be gone, after all, after the influence of Huaxia has increased, the big bull writers in China have won many times in those Southeast Asian countries that have been radiated by Chinese culture, but in a predominantly white country, this is indeed the first time!

And when Wu Zhigang watched it, the comments under the relevant news on the Internet had already fried the pot......

……

"Well, what did the woman say?"

After the agent walked in with a gloomy face, even though he had already guessed the result, Liang Ren couldn't help but ask.

"No, she said she won't sell it for the time being!"

After taking a deep breath, the agent shook his head and said: "Not only is the copyright of the new book "No One Left Alive" that has just been put on the shelves not sold, but even last year's "Murder on the Western Express" is not sold!" Anyway, I think it's not that Lao Bai doesn't plan to sell the adaptation rights, but that the price doesn't meet that woman's expectations...... To put it bluntly, people don't look down on our bids! ”

"What? Not two million? ”

Hearing what the agent said, Liang Ren suddenly couldn't sit still.

Just a new book that has just been on the shelves for a few days, even if the sales are a little higher, 1.1 million copies were sold in the first week in China, and there are three other overseas countries that have reached the top in sales, but the total is less than 2 million, right? Let's just say that part of Australia, the so-called sales list that can rank first in less than 100,000 copies, is it really useful?

20 million to buy an adaptation right, it's not okay?

"No, definitely not!"

Shaking his head, the agent smiled bitterly: "In fact, I was bold and directly raised the price to 30 million, but people still didn't agree!" Even if the other party hesitated in the middle, it seems that they only considered selling the film adaptation rights once, and the others were not considered at all. ”

"Sizzle......"

Gasping for air, Liang Ren was completely speechless.

As early as after the publication of "Murder on the Western Express", Liang Ren actually had the idea of buying the film and television adaptation rights, and also offered a high price of 10 million. It's a pity that Sun Peng rejected it without hesitation, on the grounds that the issue of film adaptation was not considered for the time being. And this time, the publication of "No One Survives" was even more popular than "Murder on the Western Express", and Liang Ren simply raised the offer to 20 million at once, just adding adaptation rights such as games and anime.

But now it seems that he is too wishful thinking.

"Brother Liang, or ......"

After hesitating for a moment, the agent said, "You will contact Teacher Lao Bai directly?" His agent is hard to deal with, but I always think I should be a little easier to talk to, right? Just by virtue of your two cooperations, the friendship of the movie box office exploded, why should he also give face? ”

"Face? Is my face worth tens of millions? ”

After listening to the agent's words, Liang Ren asked expressionlessly.

"Uh......"

The corners of his mouth twitched twice, and the agent didn't dare to speak.

The face of the big brother in the Chinese film industry, who dares to say that it is not worth tens of millions? The agent will definitely be in a hurry with him! For example, when formulating a film shooting budget, for example, when negotiating Liang Ren's salary and dividends, tens of millions of Chinese coins are only, and many times it will end with Liang Ren's victory and the producer's failure.

But in the current situation, the agent really doesn't dare to say this!

Liang Ren is very good, the big brother of the Chinese film industry, the only international superstar, almost the kind that can walk sideways in the circle! If you face anyone else in the entertainment industry, even if it is the queen Chen Feifei and the king Luo Cheng, Liang Ren is definitely not worthy, after all, if it is really about qualifications, the two superstars in the music industry who have only risen in the past few years are still a little worse.

But the agent also knew in his heart that it was because those people were begging for Liang Ren's sake.

It has great influence and appeal in China, and at the same time, it is also very famous in important ticket warehouses such as Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, which is where no one in Liangren can match. In the world, Liang Ren may not be able to compare with those real superstars in Hollywood, but in this place in China, no one wants to fight him!

The producers put money into Liang Ren, and it was almost impossible to lose money.

Therefore, Liang Ren can get a salary that other Chinese movie stars can't even think of, just because the market that can accommodate him is huge, even if it is worth investing an extra 100 million.

But that old white ......

No matter how he thought about it, the agent couldn't think of anything that Lao Bai needed to beg Liang Ren for. In fact, after the decline of costume blockbusters, Liang Ren's box office performance in recent years has almost relied on "The Sixth Sense" and "Truman's World", and what they have in common is that they have the same screenwriter!

So after the success of "Truman's World", Liang Ren has been looking for a third collaboration with Lao Bai!

This time I want to acquire the adaptation rights of "No One Survives", but it is just another attempt.

It's a pity that no matter how Liang Ren tried it, Lao Bai never agreed to write him another script. And this summer, the action movie that the big brother in the Chinese film industry is about to release is of average quality, and it is almost an impossible task to reach the height of "The Sixth Sense" or "Truman's World"!

Such a result undoubtedly made Liang Ren a little anxious.

In recent years, after deliberately reducing the amount of costume films, Liang Ren attaches great importance to cooperation with Hollywood, after all, after tasting the taste of a global superstar, he really doesn't want to return to China anymore, and is called "Nest Heng".

It's a pity that no matter how high Liang Ren's commercial value is, he is only a Chinese after all.

Hollywood movie giants will definitely not snub him, but they will never hand over the real mainstream Hollywood movies to him to star in - after experiencing the initial expectations and longings, the confusion and incomprehension in the middle, and the later sudden realization, Liang Ren finally figured this out. So even if he will continue to cooperate with Hollywood, Liang Ren is more inclined to find a suitable script by himself, decide his own role, and even find a second-tier Hollywood film company to cooperate, rather than letting the giants handle it.

And if you want to say that a script that is suitable for Liang Ren and a global audience, who else can there be besides Lao Bai?

The question is......

Thinking of Sun Peng's attitude of always smiling and being very polite, but always firmly refusing, Liang Ren couldn't help frowning, and secretly thought, "What is that kid thinking?" Is it really that the conditions are not enough? In that case, it's going to be really difficult......"
