640 ? Screening the peace scene
Although Wu Yue’s Kung Fu is a martial arts master, he thinks he has developed limbs and simple minds. In fact, he is still a top academic master and has the best professional skills.
He can do so well in both aspects, but he doesn't know how much effort he has put in.
Therefore, as he spends more time studying, less time communicating. Most of the students in this department are only familiar with each other, and even fewer of the foreign department know each other.
But it doesn’t matter. Luo Tianming came this time to give opportunities to his classmates in the screenwriter department, so there is no need for Wu Yue to give favors.
Follow Wu Yue to the screenwriter department and went directly to the department director's office.
Luo Tianming is also a famous person now. As the owner of the screenwriter department, how could he not know him? He was so enthusiastic as soon as he met.
After hearing about Luo Tianming's purpose, the department head pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Luo, I have a suggestion, just a suggestion, whether you listen or not. I think that if you want to write a script with the main theme and students who are still studying, I am afraid they will not be able to grasp it well. If you really need it, I can recommend a few teachers to you. How do you think?"
Luo Tianming smiled and said, "Director, I appreciate your kindness, but there is something else in it."
After he explained the whole story, he finally concluded: "So, no matter what my script is like, even if it is written as a model opera, it will not be possible to pass it. But I cannot change it yet, otherwise there will be a problem with the attitude. Therefore, I want to find a few people to write it casually and spend time with them."
The department head sighed repeatedly and said, "It's been almost twenty years since the opening, and some people still have the old minds that cannot be changed. Since that's the case, I won't recommend people. You can find someone yourself, as long as they agree."
Having said that, the department head still brought Luo Tianming to introduce several students with the best grades.
But Luo Tianming considered that he had to stick with the superiors for a long time, and it would definitely not work if there were fewer people, so he simply caught all the students in the screenwriter department!
In fact, there are not many students in the screenwriter department, only a dozen, and it doesn’t cost much money even if you catch them all in one place.
Luo Tianming gave each of them a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, and asked them to modify it according to the above instructions based on the original script. It doesn't matter what they change it. Anyway, they won't be able to shoot it in the end. They just asked to change it as soon as possible and then hand it over.
Luo Tianming's meaning is very clear, which means that he relies on a large number of people and constantly causes trouble to the people who review the script and increases their workload, and it depends on who can't stand it first.
His words made the screenwriter students a little frustrated. Since they were destined to be unable to start filming, what motivation would they have? If Luo Tianming hadn't given him a high salary, they wouldn't want to take on this job at all.
But after Luo Tianming left, the department head encouraged the students: "You guys are still too young! Do you really think this is just a job to handle errands? That's a big mistake.
I tell you that if you hand over the script, you will definitely be beaten back, but will Luo Tianming watch it?
I have heard that Luo Tianming attaches great importance to scripts. All his films and scripts have been polished repeatedly until they are satisfied.
You said, if you wrote the script well enough, Luo Tianming saw it, would you recruit you into his royal screenwriter team?"
After hearing what the department head said, the students suddenly realized and suddenly became motivated.
Of course, Luo Tianming didn't know what the department chair said to the students, but the department chair was right. If there were really something to be made among these screenwriters, he wouldn't mind absorbing it into his team.
The script was handed over to the students, and Luo Tianming himself was idle and returned to Xiangjiang to prepare for the release of "Weakness".
"Weakness" is an art film. No matter how touching it is, the box office will not be too high.
Despite this, ICM has helped to do a global distribution.
Just like the solution discussed with Han Sanye, Luo Tianming's pay was also reduced to the cost of "Weakness".
Although he has given several discounts, his pay still accounts for 30% of the cost.
In other words, 30% of the box office revenue of "Weakness" is from Luo Tianming.
Therefore, the higher the box office, the more Luo Tianming's pay and the more commissions the ICM company will take.
Otherwise, ICM will help with global issuance? Even if it is to win Luo Tianming's favor, it will not work so hard.
In order to explore the mainland market, Luo Tianming placed the premiere of "Weakness" in the capital and invited a large group of insiders.
For Luo Tianming, a big star who is so prosperous in Hollywood, everyone in the circle is willing to give face, and those who know or not are here.
When the movie was screened, these people in the circle gave high praise, especially the acting skills of Luo Tianming and Xiao Fangfang, which were highly praised.
However, in comparison, Xiao Fangfang is still better, and Luo Tianming seems a little awkward.
But considering Luo Tianming's age and his time in the industry, it is already rare for him to have such acting skills.
At the cocktail party after the premiere, Luo Tianming skillfully dealt with guests from all sides, making everyone feel that he was being noticed. Even those young newbies who have just entered the circle have not been neglected.
When it was Zhang Yimou's turn, he spoke directly: "Tianming, I am also planning to make a commercial film. I want to invite you to be the starring actor. Is it OK?"
When others were close to Luo Tianming, they said that they had the opportunity to cooperate, and they would not say clearly how to cooperate.
After all, they all understand that Luo Tianming's pay is too high, and the domestic box office cannot support such a big-name star.
Only Zhang Yimou actually wanted to invite him as the starring actor, which was a sincere invitation.
Luo Tianming still remembers that although Zhang Yimou is famous for his art films, he has repeatedly tried commercial films, such as "Code Named Jaguar", "Speak Well with Something".
However, the most successful commercial film is "Hero", which is a film that combines business and literature.
But "Hero" should have been released in 2002. Even if you prepare in advance, it will not be so long three years in advance, right?
Luo Tianming asked curiously: "Can Director Zhang tell me what kind of story it is first?"
Zhang Yimou said: "The story has not been fully conceived yet. It is probably based on Jing Ke's assassination of Qin King. If you can be the protagonist, I will conceive the main body of the story according to your image."
Luo Tianming didn't want to steal Li Lianjie's chance at first, but then he thought that in the original "Hero", in addition to performing well in the martial arts drama, Li Lianjie was crushed to death.
In fact, this is no wonder Li Lianjie, because Chen Daoming is the one who acts most in opposition to him. Who is Chen Daoming? An absolute acting big shot, it would be strange if Li Lianjie is not crushed.
But if I am the protagonist, I should be better than Li Lianjie, right? I feel very satisfied when I act in a rivalry with Chen Daoming.
