A sound of oh: starting the prosperous age of splendor

After inviting Li Lianjie to sit down, Zhou Yu asked curiously: "Teacher Li Lianjie, how are we going to cooperate this time?"

Li Lianjie said with a smile: "During this period, I have been looking for a suitable script, but as you know, it is too difficult to find a good script!"

"I've been waiting for almost half a year and still haven't found a good script. When I come here this time, I want to invite you to help me write a script!"

Zhou Yu was really surprised to hear Li Lianjie's idea.

As a singer, I am often invited to write songs, but very few are invited to write scripts.

Seeing Zhou Yu's surprised expression, Li Lianjie smiled and said, "I must have guessed who recommended you to me!"

Zhou Yu guessed it right away and said with a smile: "Is it director Zhang Yimou?"

Li Lianjie nodded and said, "Yes, it's Director Zhang. I met Director Zhang a few days ago and talked about the script. He told me that if I want to find a good script, I can contact you!"

"Even though you haven't written many scripts, your script writing ability is definitely underestimated!"

"So, I'm here, I hope you can give me a surprise!"

Hearing what Li Lianjie said, Zhou Yu's pressure suddenly rose.

It seems like Jet Li hasn't released any new works for a long time.

This is not because Li Lianjie can't film.

As long as Li Lianjie is willing, there are countless capitals willing to come over with money to find Li Lianjie to act.

The four words Kung Fu Superstar are not called for nothing.

However, Li Lianjie still hasn't filmed for such a long time, which shows that his requirements are not low.

Zhou Yu thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Li, I can give it a try, but I can't make too many guarantees about the quality of the script. After all, your requirements are so high, and I'm a little timid!"

Hearing what Zhou Yu said, Li Lianjie understood that he was putting too much pressure on him.

Li Lianjie smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I'm just inviting you. If the script you write is not good enough, at worst, I won't film it. When the time comes, I will be the one to say sorry for wasting your time!"

Zhou Yu didn't expect Li Lianjie to speak so directly.

I haven’t even started writing yet, so I told myself that I might not shoot it even if I write it.

If it were a screenwriter with a bad temper, he might just stop writing it.

If you don't take pictures, why are you wasting my time with me?

However, Zhou Yu really wanted to try it.

This is his second time writing a script. After the first experience, Zhou Yu also wants to know how much progress he has made.

Moreover, Zhou Yu also felt that if Li Lianjie doesn't like it when his script is written, he can try to film it.

Don’t forget, you are now a director.

Immediately, Zhou Yu said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. If what I write doesn't meet your requirements and I don't shoot, it's because I'm not good enough and it has nothing to do with you!"

Li Lianjie was secretly relieved when he heard that Zhou Yu could understand him.

In the past six months, Li Lianjie has offended many screenwriters in order to find a good script.

He is now looking for an unprofessional screenwriter like Zhou Yu, except for Zhang Yimou's recommendation, because he has no other choice now.

Coming here is like treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Now, Zhou Yu agreed, and Li Lianjie said happily: "Zhou Yu, I have been listening to your music during this period. I think it is very powerful. Why don't you write the theme song together when the time comes!"

Zhou Yu was not surprised at all.

After all, songwriting is my specialty.

Just like Zhang Yimou, since I have written the script, it is easy for me to write the songs myself.

This matter is not a problem for Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu immediately said: "Okay, no problem. Teacher Li, just tell me, when do you want this script?"

In this regard, Jet Li also knows that writing a script is not easy, and some scripts require a long time to polish.

Some screenwriters work for several years before they can come up with a script.

Li Lianjie didn't want to put too much pressure on Zhou Yu and said with a smile: "Zhou Yu, just do it as soon as possible. I'm not in a hurry!"

Zhou Yu smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll get better as soon as possible!"

Although Li Lianjie said he was not in a hurry, Zhou Yu could still tell that he was still quite anxious.

Besides, if Li Lianjie had no other choice, he could have found him.

Zhou Yu decided to write it out for him as soon as possible.

Next, Zhou Yu asked in detail what requirements he had for this script.

Li Lianjie's request is quite simple.

First of all, it needs to be an action movie, and there must be a lot of fighting scenes.

In addition, it must have a certain connotation and cannot be a simple fight.

Today, Jet Li is already a kung fu superstar. When making a movie, he cannot just make a movie, he also hopes to have some content.

Preferably one that can win prizes.

After hearing this, Zhou Yu finally understood. No wonder Li Lianjie couldn't find a suitable script for so long.

I hope to use the guise of a commercial film but also add the style of an artistic film.

This is not easy.

Zhou Yu could only say: "Okay, Teacher Li, I understand, and I will try my best to write it as you asked!"

After communicating with Zhou Yu, Li Lianjie also felt that his request was too much.

Those veteran screenwriters couldn't write a script that satisfied them for a while, and I actually expected an unprofessional screenwriter like Zhou Yu to write it.

After saying that, Li Lianjie said goodbye.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu asked hesitantly: "Teacher Li, how can we negotiate the screenwriter's fee?"

Li Lianjie was stunned for a moment and was amused by Zhou Yu.

The script hasn't come out yet, and now Zhou Yu wants to talk to him about money.

However, this is also correct. Negotiate the money first to avoid wrangling trouble later.

Li Lianjie thought for a moment and said to Zhou Yu: "Zhou Yu, because there is no script now, and I haven't solicited investment, I don't know how much money I can get!"

"However, I can guarantee you that if your script is really adopted, you will get at least a preliminary fee of two million!"

This price is already considered very high.

Zhang Yimou had just given Zhou Yu 500,000 yuan.

However, Zhou Yu was not qualified to be a screenwriter at that time.

This is no longer the case.

The screenwriter of last year's annual box-office champion movie "The City of Golden Armor" was Zhou Yu.

This is a very powerful qualification.

This also significantly increased Zhou Yu's screenwriting price.

However, even so, the price of two million is still very high.

Zhou Yu thought for a moment and said to Li Lianjie: "Teacher Li, since the investment hasn't been secured yet, let's do this. I don't want the money first, but I want 5% of the box office share!"

Li Lianjie looked at Zhou Yu with some surprise. He found that Zhou Yu was more confident than he thought.
