Li Changle didn't expect that Huang Wenchuan called to express his gratitude, nor did he expect that Wang Siyi's Weibo post could bring Huang Wenchuan's movie back to life.
"You're welcome, thank you. Director Huang is so polite. If it weren't for Director Huang, Siyi might not have achieved what she has today. In the end, I have to thank you."
…
"How can that be? We just did some trivial things, and we don't deserve it. Director Huang, let's forget about the box office share."
…
Li Changle was polite to Huang Wenchuan for ten minutes, and her mouth was dry. She finally persuaded Huang Wenchuan to stop planning to give herself a share of the movie's box office.
The box office of this movie is expected to be at least 200 million. Even if Huang Wenchuan only gives him a few percent, it will still be several million. Li Changle can't afford it. Besides, he is not short of money.
When Wang Siyi sang the theme song of the song "So Many People in This World", she only received a symbolic fee of several hundred thousand yuan.
It felt strange to be paid millions without doing anything. If there had been a signed contract, it would have been fine, but it was clearly Huang Wenchuan's whim. Li Changle felt unworthy of it.
In fact, in Li Changle's opinion, he and Wang Siyi did not really do anything. They just went to see a movie and posted a Weibo.
Li Changle never expected that Huang Wenchuan would be so kind and give her a share of the box office profits without hesitation. But no matter what, Li Changle couldn't accept anything that was not written into the contract in advance.
"A script? I can consider that. I happen to have some ideas myself, but I've been a bit busy lately, so I'm afraid I'll have to wait until I have some free time before I look at it."
Fortunately, Huang Wenchuan did not insist in the end. After a lot of effort to refuse, Li Changle asked Huang Wenchuan if he had any idea of making a movie. This time Li Changle did not refuse, but only said that he would consider it if he had time.
Li Changle actually had a lot of ideas about movies, otherwise she would not have given suggestions to Huang Wenchuan on the script of A Thousand Years of Love.
However, given the current situation, Li Changle will not be able to spare the time in the short term, as the recording period for celebrities' love stories is two months.
The soundtrack for The Legend of Sword and Fairy III has not been recorded yet. In addition, an album is expected to be prepared for Wang Siyi in the second half of the year.
These things are all very important, so Li Changle could only say that he couldn't spare the time for the time being, and Huang Wenchuan also expressed his understanding.
At least Li Changle did not refuse this time. Anyway, it was impossible for Huang Wenchuan to start preparing for another movie before this one was released.
Even the donkeys in the production team didn’t dare to do this!
From last year to now, Huang Wenchuan has shot a total of three films, all of which have achieved good box office results. In terms of efficiency and speed, he is definitely a model worker among directors.
"Director Huang invited you to make a movie?"
Wang Siyi had been listening to Li Changle's phone call and had heard some of what was said.
Li Changle nodded and said, "Yes, but I'd think about it. If you don't have time to deal with this."
Wang Siyi looked Li Changle up and down and said, "You can also write movie scripts."
Wang Siyi knew that Li Changle could write songs and novels, but she had never heard that Li Changle could write scripts.
Li Changle shrugged, shook his head calmly, and said, "No, but I can write stories. Once I write the stories, I can ask Director Huang and the others to adapt the content into a script. It's not that difficult."
Although Wang Siyi has never been an actor, she is in the entertainment industry and has some knowledge of movies.
Wang Siyi pondered for a moment, then said, "Movies and TV series are different. The difference between movies and TV series is like the difference between short stories and long stories. The difference is huge."
Wang Siyi has absolute confidence in Li Changle's novels and their adaptation into TV series, because the stories of several novels written by Li Changle are really good and are also very suitable for adaptation into TV series.
However, adapting a movie story is obviously more difficult than adapting a TV series. The length of a movie will never exceed four hours, and most of them will not exceed two hours.
A novel adaptation may tell a story, and the timeline can be extended, but movies are different. Movies focus more on a single event. Obviously, adapting a story for a movie is much more difficult than adapting a TV series.
Li Changle probably knew what Wang Siyi was thinking. Wang Siyi was worried that she didn't understand the core logic of the movie script, so she reminded herself.
If you are an ordinary person who has never been exposed to movies, you will indeed have this problem.
But Li Changle is different. He really doesn't know how to write movie scripts, but he has a good memory and has so many classic movies in his mind.
It doesn't matter if you can't write a script. Li Changle can use the most stupid method to copy the lines one by one, and then give it to Huang Wenchuan to polish it. Wouldn't the script be ready?
Li Changle smiled and said, "Let's talk about this later. It's just a little idea. I'm very busy right now and don't have time to do this. Besides, Director Huang just finished filming a movie, so it's impossible for him to shoot a new movie right away."
As soon as Chen Baozhu entered the room, she saw Li Changle and Wang Siyi eating breakfast. She didn't hesitate to sit down and said to them, "Xie Jiaming and Zhou Xinyu's schedules are free. They can go together to record the soundtrack album for the sequel to Chinese Paladin tomorrow.
I've also spoken with Director Meng, and we're starting to record the variety show tomorrow. The other guests have already finished recording their first theme, so we're the only ones left."
