Chapter 192: Creative Talent That Shocked the Entire Internet; Taking Charge of the Bubble Music Platform
"I see…"
"Truly a young prodigy, so confident!"...
Upon hearing Wang Yueheng's explanation, the previously tense crowd breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing admiration.
You should know that most screenwriters and writers, once their works are adapted into film or television dramas, can't wait to take the money and leave.
Few people would actually dare to gamble with the copyright of their work.
According to Wang Yueheng's investment plan, if the drama ultimately flops upon release, the money he can get may not even be as much as the profit from directly selling the copyright.
"Okay, no problem."
Director Zhou An readily agreed to Wang Yueheng's bold request.
Besides being a director, Zhou An has another identity.
That's the owner of Hong Kong Island Anchi Film Company.
Almost all of his films are produced and financed by his own film and television company.
In addition, he is also the producer, so he has absolute decision-making power.
Zhou An was eager to align his interests with those of Wang Yueheng, the creator of the original work.
This way, if any problems arise later, you can communicate with Wang Yueheng at any time without worrying about him giving you a perfunctory response.
Soon, the production team's financial manager arrived.
Together with Zhou Anwang Yue Heng and others, they discussed the specific shareholding ratio.
After some haggling...
Ultimately, Wang Yueheng invested in the new film by leveraging the film and television rights to the script of "A Chinese Odyssey" and the film and television license for its theme song "A Lifetime of Love".
It holds a 30% stake in Anchi Pictures' "A Chinese Odyssey" film.
Based on actual investment estimates, it is worth approximately 20 million Chinese yuan.
"Mr. Wang Yueheng, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you!"
After the negotiations were completed, Director Zhou An stood up, shook hands with Wang Yueheng, and smiled.
"Furthermore, I have decided that, starting today, filming of 'The Legend of Journey to the West' will be suspended, and all efforts will be devoted to filming 'A Chinese Odyssey'."
Director Zhou An's subsequent decision left everyone present speechless.
This means that the enormous human and material resources spent on "The Legend of the West" in its early stages, as well as the millions of dollars invested, have all gone down the drain.
A huge additional investment is even needed for the new film!
"Are you crazy? Director Zhou is going to scrap the entire pre-production shoot and start over?"
"What trump card did Wang Yueheng pull out that made Director Zhou make such a decision?"
"It's just a song, is it really that captivating?"...
Hearing the decision made by Director Zhou An.
Apart from a few key members of the creative team who saw the script and heard the theme song in advance.
The entire crew was in an uproar once again.
It's unbelievable that director Zhou An, who has always been stubborn, would overturn his own work because of Wang Yueheng.
"What? Director Zhou An has decided to use Wang Yueheng's song as the theme song for his new film?"
"Do they want to scrap the entire film and reshoot it?"
Even renowned composer Law Tin-wah, who was based in Hong Kong Island, was shocked when he heard the report from his nephew Law Sau-shing over the phone.
He froze on the spot, thinking he had misheard.
The theme song "Journey to the West: Romance" that I painstakingly created for "The Legend of Journey to the West" was just abandoned like that?
Could it be that the mainland singer used some kind of witchcraft to bewitch director Zhou An?
"Uncle, how about I send you that song so you can listen to it?"
After sighing, Luo Shoucheng didn't know how to explain.
So I simply sent Wang Yueheng's new song to my uncle via email.
After listening to the original song "My Life's Love" by Wang Yueheng sent by his nephew Luo Shoucheng.
Composer Luo Tianhua fell completely silent.
Compared to "A Lifetime of Love," my own song immediately seemed superficial and pretentious...
He even had some doubts.
Is this Cantonese song really composed by Wang Yueheng himself?
Both the lyrics and the arrangement are simply too masterful.
It doesn't sound like something a young mainland singer who's just started out could write.
