MTL - You Made Me a Superstar-Chapter 533 i can't sign

  Chapter 533 I can't sign

  After entering 2008, the video store began to become more and more sluggish.

  Physical albums can’t be sold at all. Even the albums of popular singers can only sell 10,000 to 20,000 copies in China, and many of them are supported by fans with swollen faces to pretend to be fat.

  More and more audiovisual stores are closing down, and more and more physical music manufacturers are starting to switch jobs.

   Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this industry will be eliminated.

  In addition to audio-visual stores, MP3 and MP4, which have just emerged for a few years, seem to be slowly starting to sell.

  A smart phone can cover MP3, MP4 and the price is getting cheaper and cheaper. You can even buy a Polaroid phone that can watch movies and listen to songs for only 700 yuan...

  Under such market conditions, these MP3s and MP4s are gradually disappearing from the market.

  The law of this world is like this, the times always move forward.

  People in this era either try their best to grasp the forefront of the times, or they are completely abandoned by the times and become losers who only remember the glory days.

  In addition to many things gradually becoming obsolete, there is another exciting thing, which became the theme of the beginning of 2008, and the atmosphere of the Olympic Games is getting stronger and stronger.

  On Weibo, on TV, and in the front-page news of major media, one or two sentences related to the Olympics and the mysterious "Bird's Nest" are mentioned every day.

  The cartoons on major TVs have also begun to tell stories around the main theme of "Olympics". Regardless of whether the story is good or bad, at least the momentum is quite strong, and countless children can say a few words related to the Olympics.

  But the Olympic story that touched all the netizens and children the most is the "Olympic" extra chapter in "Things About That Rabbit That Year" [The Flower Planter's First Athlete to Participate in the Olympics].

"On July 29, 1932, 23-year-old Liu Chang* arrived in Los Angeles after three weeks of rough seas. He was the only Chinese athlete in the Los Angeles Olympic Games. On the second day (July 30) ) In the afternoon, the 10th Olympic Games, the Los Angeles Olympic Games will open..."

"Liu Chang* was the fastest runner in China at that time. His national record of 10.7 seconds for 100 meters created in 1933 has been maintained for 25 years. Liu Chang* was originally going to participate in 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters. Yes. Unfortunately, after three weeks of rough seas, my physical strength was greatly affected. In the end, due to lack of physical strength, I only participated in the 100m and 200m competitions. The competitions of these two events also failed to advance..."

   "..."

  Animating.

  A simple rabbit traveled across the ocean and came to Los Angeles. In the strange eyes of countless small animals, he represented the "flower grower" and participated in the Olympic Games at that time.

In that era of poverty and weakness, all the small animals had professional coaches, excellent equipment, and a strong motherland, and the rabbits that were eliminated after participating in the Olympic Games had to return to the country alone for the first time, back to the war Flying around, a flower grower whose dignity has almost been dismantled.

   "Things About That Rabbit That Year", the anime extra-part, became astonishingly popular once it was aired. In just a few days, this extra part had more than 10 million hits!

  Under "That Rabbit" Weibo, countless "tears collapsed".

  Time is passing and moving!

   Looking at this ever-changing era, netizens couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

  The ancestors of China decades ago, who would have thought that one day, that poor and weak China not only stood up, but even held its own Olympic Games in the capital, warmly welcoming countless visitors from other countries...

  …………

   "Xiao Jiang, you are my favorite director. Ever since you first stepped into Xinghui, I think you are a director with great potential..."

   "In fact, you also proved yourself, you proved that you are stronger than Zhou Yang, and you proved that you are the best of this era, the well-deserved number one..."

"I know that you have had contact with people like Feng Kai. Of course, don't worry about it. I've been in this business for so many years, and I know that some people are playing tricks behind their backs. I won't fall for this kind of trick. Calculated..."

"but…"

   "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" breaking 800 million is already a certainty.

  Jiang Ge was called into the office by Li Zhongjun and chatted for a long time...

  Jiang Ge had never seen Li Zhongjun with such a serious expression and such a gentle expression. He even let himself sit next to him and brewed a cup of West Lake Longjing for him.

  After listening to Li Zhongjun's words, Jiang Ge couldn't help being flattered.

  When the atmosphere of the chat was almost the same, Jiang Ge had mixed feelings in his heart, and when he felt that he was about to be treated as the chief director by the company, Li Zhongjun handed Jiang Ge a contract.

"After all, I am not the only one who has the final say on the company. After the "Liao Zhai Painted Skin" became popular, there were naturally many controversies. I believe you also know that many shareholders feel that you are cheating. I will try my best to protect you and treat your future as a It is not an easy task to train the chief director of Xinghui, I believe you also understand that the external pressure is huge now..."

   "This is a five-year contract. Take a look at this contract. If there are no problems, you can sign it. This will be of great benefit to your future..."

  Django opened the contract and looked at the terms in the contract.

  The clauses are not harsh on the surface. It probably means that they are not allowed to make movies for other companies within five years, and they must make Xinghui movies. At the same time, there are some breach of contract clauses.

  But when Django saw that five years must bring the company a total box office clause of at least 5 billion yuan, Django was stunned.

   "President Li, 5 billion in five years? I can't do this..."

   "I believe you can do it!"

   "If it can't be done, will there be any consequences? The default conditions here are not detailed..."

   "There are no substantive consequences, we will not do anything to you."

   "I can't sign..."

"What did you say?"

   "I can't sign!"

  Jiang Ge lowered his head, but said this sentence very firmly.

  When he looked up, he saw that Li Zhongjun's smile gradually froze, and then his face gradually became gloomy.

  He quickly changed his words: "Let me think about it again..."

  ……………

  March 8th.

   The first round of filming for "Spider-Man" has come to an end.

  The budget is overrun again.

Up until now, the overall budget has been exceeded by 13 million RMB. Although he was prepared in his heart and tried to tell himself about various things, the bright red bill still made Zhou Yang break out in a cold sweat. There was a delay of tens of seconds, and after a long review, the calmness was restored.

  The money that should be burned is still worth burning.

   But this calm was broken again.

   "Zheng Jun's "Mine Bottom" project has started..."

   "Because it's basically special effects, the budget of the movie "Mine Bottom" is higher than that of "Spider-Man", maybe more than ten million dollars..."

"In China, the movie "Mine Bottom" is basically not optimistic, except that Zhang Genshui and Zhang have invested more than 20 million US dollars and some companies that are familiar with us have invested 15 million US dollars. Other investors are on the sidelines..."

"Just now I received news from Mr. James Bundt that he made a rough budget for the "Avatar" project, and the budget may be 300 million U.S. dollars... Although James Bunter is not worried about investment, I think 300 million U.S. dollars is amazing. Even in Hollywood where blockbusters are raging, it is still a huge sum of money, and the eight major Hollywood film companies may not invest in it..."

   "Many of our projects are actually making money, but the money we make cannot support investing in "Mine Bottom" or "Avatar" at present..."

   "The budget of "The Silence of the Lambs", the budget of this movie is not high..."

   "..."

  The success of a series of movies made Zhou Yang's confidence inevitably inflated.

   But after hearing the news about the two films "Mine Bottom" and "Avatar", Zhou Yang's swelling was suddenly brought back to its original form.

   "Let's wait for "Spider-Man" to be released..."

  He nodded very calmly on the surface, made a cup of tea and drank it lightly, but bursts of cold sweat broke out again behind his back.

  Of course there is another way, which is to sign a gambling agreement with some capital like other directors...

  Although Zhou Yang rejected this idea in his heart, at this moment, he still felt like a gambler, who won a lot of money if he won the bet, and fell into the abyss if he lost the bet.

"it is good."

  Xu Mei looked at Zhou Yang in front of her.

  She felt that her mood was empty.

  Since filming "Spider-Man", she has been hanging on a heart, and every time "Spider-Man" is a little over budget, her heart will twitch violently.

  After a brief silence, Xu Mei turned to the next page of the information.

  The next page is the data of "Things About That Rabbit That Year" under "Storm Animation".

   With a slight smile on her face, she told Zhou Yang about the hits and popularity of the extra episode.

   "Mr. Zhou...Zhang Xiaoya, Mr. Zhang called me just now, hoping to chat with you..."

   "Oh, I'll call Mr. Zhang right now..."

  When Zhou Yang saw the side stories of "Things About That Rabbit That Year", he was actually quite pleasantly surprised. The script outlines for these extra stories were not provided by himself, and they were completely made by "Storm Anime".

   Then he turned on the phone, turned to Zhang Xiaoya's number and called.

  After the call was connected, the other party was very pleasantly surprised at first, and then reported the current situation of the "Storm Animation" company.

  After the report is over...

"Mr. Zhou, sports animations are booming recently, especially the R book. The animation "Iron Blood Slam Dunk" is very popular. We want to follow the trend and make a basketball sports animation, which is going to be a long-term animation series. , I probably made a sketch and character design, and I have already sent it to your email, please take a look at it...Actually, the character design and plot are not mature, and our team didn't know where to start..."

   "..."

  On the other end of the phone, Zhang Xiaoya's voice sounded a little nervous.
