Chapter 591: I want this script
The final box office of "Dragon Gate Inn" on Monday was 35.44 million, which was even more than 5 million higher than the first day of release!
I don't know how many people's jaws have dropped this number.
Originally, in the eyes of many people, going to the cinema to watch "Dragon Gate Inn" on the first day of release or even the first weekend should be Lao Bai's fans, and the box office should fall quickly after these fans have exhausted their passion, but the lowest box office on weekdays on Monday actually exceeded 30 million, which is millions higher than the first day......
"See, this is obviously a long-term blockbuster movie!"
From the perspective of Liang Ren, the eldest brother in the film industry, "Dragon Gate Inn" is no longer an ordinary dark horse, but a big dark horse!
There is this box office on Monday, which means that the audience really likes it!
"Well, this old white is really powerful!"
Nodding, the agent Ye Tian said with emotion: "And this kid is only in his twenties, how can you say that he can plan so much, advertising, and three TV series to build momentum for his movie together!" Now it's a lot of hype on the Internet, saying that this year is the old white year or something......"
"Old white years?"
Liang Ren was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed dumbly.
This name is a little too big, I'm afraid that little guy can't afford it, right? Even Liang Ren himself only has that once, two movies were released in a year, and the global box office exceeded 6 billion, so when he was called Liang Rennian, he had to be humble and modest.
But......
Rubbing his chin, Liang Ren nodded with a smile and said: "That kid is really powerful, taking out so many dry goods in one breath must have a good effect, do you believe it or not, now that "Dragon Gate Inn" is popular, his martial arts will definitely sell for a while?" But if you really want to say that this is all planned by himself...... Hehe, I'm still a little bit unconvinced! ”
"Oh? Do you think it's someone who helps? ”
Raising his eyebrows, Ye Tian asked with a chuckle.
"Hehe, is it weird?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Liang Ren smiled and said, "Don't say that Forbidden City Pictures is cooperating with him, which of those editors of publishing houses is not an old fritter?" Is it strange to make a suggestion? ”
"Hmm...... Yes, but ......"
"But what?"
Looking at Liang Ren's questioning eyes, Ye Tianzhan smiled: "I mean, even if there is a master to help plan, but think about it, if it is not Lao Bai but someone else...... Write a "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" that fans like and seek after madly, write scripts for three TV series that dominate the ratings, and then ask Niu Yunsheng to willingly spend tens of millions to buy an idea and a song, and even spend more money to make a movie...... If it weren't for Lao Bai, who would have done so much for a movie? ”
"Uh......"
Hearing Ye Tian say this, Liang Ren was stunned for a moment.
And then......
"Hahahaha......"
After a moment, Liang Ren suddenly burst out laughing.
Ye Tian also smiled silently, quietly waited until Liang Ren's laughter gradually stopped, and then waved his hand: "Since this is the case, then let's add another fire to his movie!" After communicating with his agent, he said that I wanted the script! ”
"Do you want to make that script? Are you sure? ”
At this moment, Zi Ye Tian couldn't laugh anymore, and his eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes, I'm sure!"
After taking a deep breath, Liang Ren nodded vigorously and said, "I read the creativity of the script, it is very amazing, it should be good if you invite a better director...... It's just that the other protagonist is a little hard to find.,But it shouldn't be difficult for you, right? ”
“……”
Frowning slightly, Ye Tian pondered.
Of course, he is not really thinking about the problem of another protagonist, but desperately thinking about the gains and losses of Liang Ren's appearance in this movie, and the impact on his future career.
"It's okay, don't think too much!"
Seeing that the agent was frowning and thinking hard, Liang Ren smiled lightly: "Anyway, the cost of this movie is not high, even if the conditions proposed by that kid are higher, I believe that the film company will agree to it with his current fame." And this kind of script can actually be regarded as an attempt of mine, even if it fails at the box office, it is actually nothing, but if it succeeds......"
"Whew...... I understand! ”
When he heard this, Ye Tian finally understood what Liang Ren meant.
If it succeeds, it will lay a good foundation for Liang Ren's transformation, at least let others understand that he can not only play that kind of costume masterpiece; But if it fails...... What if a film that doesn't cost much to make fails?
Seeing Ye Tian's instant reaction, Liang Ren immediately nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "Okay, hurry up and contact Lao Bai's agent!" Now is the time when "Dragon Gate Inn" is released, if the news that Lao Bai and I will cooperate in a movie, I believe it can also help add a fire, and no matter how late it is, it is really the icing on the cake, but it is dispensable! ”
"Ouch, it's not!"
slapped himself on the head suddenly, Ye Tian laughed: "It's still thoughtful, I'll call right away!" However, I guess after watching this box office result, I'm afraid many people will not be able to sit still......"
……
"Head, this is a stamped sheet!"
After walking into the editor-in-chief's office, Zheng Ye put the printing application form in front of the leader in high spirits.
"Hmm......"
A pair of dark eyes first glanced at Zheng Ye from above the frame of his glasses, and the editor-in-chief lowered his head and glanced at the printing slip, frowning unchecked: "So many sets of books are printed together?" And 500,000 sets each? Xiao Zheng, you ...... Are you sure? Was it discussed in the newsroom? ”
"The discussion was overdone, and everyone thought it was quite reliable!"
Nodding vigorously, Zheng Ye smiled confidently: "Now that Mr. Bai is in the limelight, and the box office of "Dragon Gate Inn" is obviously a long-term hit, I believe that many people will definitely be interested in martial arts after watching it!" The one with Mr. Lao Bai on the market is our publishing house, and I think it's better to prepare in advance...... What do you think? ”
"Gotta ......"
Without answering Zheng Ye's question immediately, the editor-in-chief's fingers began to tap lightly on the table, frowning and pondering.
Printing best-selling books, of course, there is no problem in itself, but this Zheng Ye took out all of Lao Bai's martial arts in one go, and printed 500,000 sets at a time - each set is this number, which can't help but make him not think about it seriously.
Eight books, a total of four million sets!
The printing cost alone is tens of millions, and if you add Lao Bai's royalties of up to 15 percent, the thought of the amount of funds occupied in case of a backlog is pounding!
Whether it sells or not, he doesn't worry too much.
After thinking for a while, the editor-in-chief raised his eyebrows and said, "Xiao Zheng, are you sure this number is okay?" I remember we still have fifty or sixty thousand in stock, right? Can't you print two or three hundred thousand copies first? This is 500,000 sets in one breath, and so many booksellers have purchased them in a short period of time? ”
"Hey, head, you'll rest assured"
Regarding this question from the editor-in-chief, Zheng Ye suddenly laughed: "We already have 70,000 orders in hand, and the inventory is already negative!" And according to their feedback, many people have come to buy books after watching movies in the past two days...... That's just a small group of dealers! ”
“……”
The fat on his chubby cheeks moved a few times, and the editor-in-chief silently lowered his head and signed his name on the application form.
"Thank you, editor-in-chief, then I'll go back first."
"Well, wait a minute!"
Just when Zheng Ye got the application form for printing and was about to leave, he was stopped by his head. The editor-in-chief blinked his eyes and asked, "Have you communicated with that old Bai teacher's next book?" Is it still martial arts? When will it be finished? ”
"This ......"
Slightly stunned, Zheng Ye's expression suddenly became bitter: "Editor-in-chief, Mr. Bai, you don't know, you never say when a new book will be published, nor the subject matter of a new book, it's useless to ask a few times!" ”
"Then discuss with his agent, don't say anything, how do we do our work?"
“……”
Speechlessly, he rolled his eyes...... Of course, this was turned in his heart, Zheng Ye smiled bitterly: "That agent is also the same problem, and ...... Head, in fact, I am more worried about another problem now, that is, the royalty ratio of Mr. Bai's next book! When the next set of books comes, I'm afraid 15 percent won't be able to satisfy them......"
