Chapter 410 No wonder you like it more behind the scenes than in front of the stage

Zhang Sheng gets dividends from the movie box office based on his script, not because he is the boss of the company.

The reason for this is that he earned it with his performance in one movie.

The movies he wrote are all amazing at the box office.

Moreover, everyone made a lot of money and did not lose any money at all.

His scripts are hard to come by, and that's the key.

Zhang Sheng has his own film and television company, so if there is a script, his company will naturally be given priority.

However, other companies participated in the investment and did not have any opinions on this.

Even if it is directed by another company, such as the movie "Farewell My Concubine", the proportion of Zhang Sheng's dividends based on the script is higher than if it is directed by the company.

If you don’t give high points in dividends, why should they give your company a script?

Isn’t it good to shoot in your own company?

Zhang Sheng's script is worth the price.

If he really sells the script, I'm afraid the price will go even higher.

The script Zhang Sheng is writing now is indeed prepared for Liu Yuan.

A Hollywood comedy with some science fiction elements.

It's okay to say it's a literary film.

This is a unique and creative movie.

The video is not only thought-provoking and touching, but also has humor that makes people laugh.

The film makes a powerful satire on morality, human relationships and the harshness of the world.

""Truman"?"

Liu Yuan did not want to complain about the script.

It's not the script that I'm complaining about.

He didn't even have time to see it.

I don’t know what the story is.

What he complained about was the name of the protagonist: Truman.

Who picked this name?

It's so low level.

Think about the names of Zhang Sheng's other works, how high-quality they are.

Especially the names of his martial arts dramas are impressive.

Is it too perfunctory this time?

However, Liu Yuan did not spit it out, he was not in the mood.

He couldn't wait to start looking through it.

The film tells the story of Truman, the protagonist of a popular soap opera. Everything around him is false. His relatives and friends are all actors, but he himself knows nothing about it.

In the end, Truman discovered that something was wrong around him. After knowing the truth, he walked out of this virtual world at all costs.

I have to say that the imagination of this movie is breathtaking.

What an open mind!

The film seems to be a ridiculous life fable, but if you look deeper into its interior, you will find that the meaning contained in it is profound. It will make people feel chilling, because maybe one day, the audience will also start to worry about whether there are people around them.

The same thing will happen.

"Sometimes I really want to open your brain and see what's inside?" Liu Yuan said, "Your script is quite imaginative! How did you come up with it?"

"Is it big? Art comes from life." Zhang Sheng said lightly, "Don't you have a sense of familiarity?"

"Familiarity?"

Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment, but looked at Zhang Sheng with some doubts.

There's really nothing familiar about him.

However, he was also curious about where Zhang Sheng's inspiration for writing this script came from.

"All of Truman's life was exposed to audiences around the world 24 hours a day." Zhang Sheng said, "He is a big star, but he is also a little person. He was completely deprived of freedom, privacy and dignity and became a member of the mass entertainment industry.

A victim, but he didn't know it."

When Liu Yuan heard this, he immediately understood where Zhang Sheng's inspiration came from.

He also understood why he didn't feel familiar.

"Do you think there will be paparazzi following me? I'm not a big star." Liu Yuan said with a smile, "No wonder you like to be behind the scenes more than in front of the stage."

Big star, little guy?

Liu Yuan actually didn't say a word.

He finally understood why Zhang Sheng wanted to start his own company in the first place instead of signing with other entertainment companies first.

The conditions offered by those companies are not low.

Perhaps, he knew at that time that no matter how famous he was, he would only be a minor figure in the industry.

Freedom, privacy, dignity, etc. are not up to him.

It's different now.

Zhang Sheng is a big star, but Ziah is definitely not a small figure in the industry.

Many people say that he is one of the few people in the industry who has made money by standing still.

"I like to be behind the scenes more than in front of the stage, and it's not because I'm afraid of being followed by paparazzi." Zhang Sheng said lightly, "Besides, after I became famous, few paparazzi would follow me and take pictures."

When Liu Yuan heard this, he immediately thought of the series of scandals that this guy had caused after being followed by the paparazzi.

Not to mention, there really weren’t many paparazzi following Zhang Sheng after that.

Some people imitated it, but unfortunately they didn’t know what went wrong and it was of no use.

Of course, nowadays there are no paparazzi to follow and take pictures, it is purely because those paparazzi don’t dare to do anything.

Zhang Sheng's current status in the industry is not comparable to that of ordinary celebrities.

It really pissed him off. Not to mention the paparazzi, even the boss of the paparazzi probably left in anger.

"Are you interested?"

Zhang Sheng looked at Liu Yuan and asked.

"Of course."

Liu Yuan said.

This movie exposes the ugly behavior of seeking profit and trampling on human rights in business activities, and also powerfully satirizes the negative side of morality, human relations and the state of the world.

They also criticize the values ​​​​of "the media is omnipotent".

The storyline of this movie obviously has a commercial operation.

And the meaning is also interesting.

This compares Taoyuan Town to the Garden of Eden, or to the planet where humans live.

The director Christopher in the movie can be regarded as Christ, the son of God.

In a sense, Truman before the age of thirty was almost created by Christopher, which is exactly the same as God created man. Truman's later rebellion can be regarded as mankind's rebellion against God.

This is Liu Yuan’s understanding of the script after reading it.

Of course, this is only his preliminary understanding.

He still needs to study the script carefully.

However, he had a vague feeling that if this movie was successfully made, it would make a difference in terms of box office and awards.

"You gave this script to Director Liu, what are you planning to film?"

Gu Sisi had read the script of "The Truman Show" and couldn't help but ask about Zhang Sheng.

She felt the script was very good.

This is another film that combines business and art well.

She felt that Zhang Sheng should try to make this kind of movie.

His movies have too heavy commercial elements.
