Pick a system to be a star

Chapter 166
Unknowingly, "A Chinese Journey to the West" has been released for a month. Although it is still in theaters, the box office growth has basically been in a sluggish state.But even so, "A Chinese Journey to the West" also created a box office record for Chinese movies.

17.8 billion!
This is an achievement that all Chinese people can't imagine, and it's also a number that people in other countries can't believe.

An ordinary two-dimensional film, with rough special effects, cannot be classified as a fantasy film at all, but it is such a Chinese film that has created a legend in the history of Chinese film!
And because Ge Datie never thought that this movie would be released abroad at the beginning, so he didn't go to the overseas market, and it was even more impossible to make an English version or other foreign language versions, but the resources of "A Chinese Journey to the West" in various languages It appeared in many foreign countries, but it missed the best time. Even if some foreign language versions are released now, the box office may not be much better, and in the end it was not carried out.

However, even so, whether it's an actor, a director, or a crew member, everyone became popular this time.

Dong Mengwei and Mo Mirou have already been promoted to the ranks of first-tier stars, and the film appointments are naturally constant. Many people are surprised that Mo Mirou's acting skills are so exaggerated, and Dong Mengwei's solo debut album is already in production.

In addition to these two heroines, Tian Zhizhen, Guo Xin and others also have a lot more film appointments; Ge Datie is naturally hot now, and the title of China's first billion-dollar movie director is enough for him to brag about for a lifetime, and even if From now on, in the history of Chinese film, the name of Ge Datie will definitely have a pivotal position.

It's just that Zhang Liang, who is the leading actor and screenwriter, seems to have disappeared since the last time those Chinese animation "old seniors" posted on Weibo. He hasn't said anything for more than half a month. Well.

However, Zhang Liang's remuneration and the buyout fee for the script have already been paid to Zhang Liang's card by Ge Datie as quickly as possible.

When Zhang Liang participated in "A Chinese Journey to the West", he was only a fourth-tier star. The salary of a fourth-tier star is naturally not that high, but because of his relationship with Ge Datie and the title of an assistant director, so In the end, Ge Da Tiexin still offered Zhang Liang a salary of 800 million yuan. Now, for other popular movie stars, this salary is naturally quite low. Even Mo Mirou has never filmed much, but because he is a second-tier star With his high level, plus his influence in the music scene, he got 500 million yuan in salary.

As for the script of "A Chinese Journey to the West", Ge Datie felt a sense of astonishment the moment he saw it, and immediately bought the script at a cost of 1000 million. This is actually a very bold act .

You know, scripts have always been relatively cheap. Even for those well-known screenwriters, it is estimated that the cost of a script will hardly exceed seven figures. Even for some very popular movies, the screenwriter only gets a few thousand or even Because there are only a few hundred yuan in remuneration.

Therefore, it was a bold act of Ge Date to buy Zhang Liang's script directly with 1000 million yuan, but the final result still shows that Ge Date's vision is still good.

"A Chinese Journey to the West" became popular, not only became popular, but also made him a lot of money.Although after all kinds of expenses are removed, the real money Ge Date can get is only a little over 4 million, but this is already a very exaggerated income!
It's just that the contract is like this, and the salary that Zhang Liang can get can only be like this.

However, as a director, the relationship with Zhang Liang is also very good. Ge Datie is not the kind of stingy person who helped Zhang Liang this time, so he naturally added a few million more in friendship, so in the end Zhang Liang After deducting the tax, it still didn't reach 2000 million, but it was still a huge amount of income, and it finally allowed him to rank among the tens of millions worth of stars.

Also because of the income from this money, the production of "Things About That Rabbit That Year" became more handy. Originally, because of the appropriation above, everyone was saving and spending, although the entire studio is also concerned about this animation. This kind of confidence has been worked hard, but as a director, Zhang Liang still can't bear it, so the income of this money can naturally improve a lot.

On Zhang Muyi's side, Zhang Liang finally helped him write a script - "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" under all kinds of soft and hard arguments.

The work of the famous director Ang Lee in the parallel world, this work is not only the first film in the history of Chinese-language films in the world to win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but also won three other awards: Best Art Direction, Best Original Voiceover, Best Cinematography.In addition to the four awards it won, there were also other awards that were shortlisted. It can be described as a Chinese film that created history.

And Ang Lee relied on this film to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, which can be said to be a very important work in the director's career of Ang Lee.

Although "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" is not the pinnacle of director Ang Lee's life, he won the Oscar for Best Director for "Brokeback Mountain" and "Life of Pi", but those two works are not Chinese style. .

More importantly, what Zhang Muyi needs is a Chinese-style martial arts movie, so "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is the best choice. As for what kind of achievements this movie can make Zhang Muyi achieve in this world, that's up to him. It was not what Zhang Liang could have predicted.

However, due to the loss of "A Chinese Journey to the West", Zhang Liang never directly bought out the script this time, but adopted the method of manuscript remuneration + box office share.

Although Zhang Liang knows that the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in China is not expected to be very good, after all, the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in China in that world is only 500 million, but the overseas box office is quite prosperous, reaching 2.05 million US dollars.

Although he came to this world and changed directors, Zhang Liang is still very confident in Zhang Muyi, and his grades should not be too bad. It will be all money by then!

You can't let me lose my reputation, can't you let me cheat some money?
Zhang Muyi wasn't surprised by Zhang Liang's request for a share of the box office. After all, Zhang Liang had already been "trapped" by Ge Datie once in "A Chinese Journey to the West".What's more, sharing this thing is for everyone to make money together, so Zhang Muyi has no objection.

Of course, the premise is that Zhang Liang's script is good enough!

However, when Zhang Liang showed the script of "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" to Zhang Muyi who came to his studio every day to cheat for food and drink just like his own family, Zhang Muyi immediately signed the contract with Zhang Liang, and even looked at Zhang Muyi. Liang's eyes made Zhang Liang feel a little hairy.

Director Zhang!We are not as good as Long Yang, I am so scared by your eyes!
