Rebirth 96: Begin the life of a monster from kindergarten

Since Zhang Yimou made a box office abroad with "Hero", many directors have ignited their ambitions to enter overseas markets.

Zhang Yimou's "House of Flying Daggers" and "The Golden Armor", Feng Xiaogang's "The Banquet", Chen Kaige's "The Promise", Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff", etc. have all raised the banner of international blockbusters.

It's just that some of these movies did make money from the box office, and some didn't even recoup their investment costs.

However, this was the most glorious era for Chinese films to go overseas.

At this time, the domestic film market was still small, but it had just begun to show momentum for development. Many ambitious film and television companies and directors regarded earning foreign currency as their box office goal.

When the number of large screens in China increased sharply in the future, many film companies found that they could make a lot of money just relying on the domestic market. Instead, they completely lost the motivation to enter overseas markets.

A batch of domestic movies are going crazy during their schedules.

The Chinese market is so big that almost any industry can make huge profits just by grabbing some users.

Even more than ten or twenty years later, when some companies have gone overseas to compete with U.S. giants, most domestic giants still cannot let go of ordinary people's food basket money.

Two of DreamWeaver's films, "Kung Fu Panda" and "A Little Thing About First Love," both achieved impressive results overseas, far exceeding their domestic box office performance.

What makes many film and television companies even more jealous is that Zhang Yixing is not a famous director like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.

As a director, he is a soy sauce.

But even a soy sauce person can make a lot of money abroad. Is money abroad so easy to make money?

The mentality of shrinking back a few famous directors who had encountered obstacles overseas has come back to life again. Their profit-driven nature and tendency to follow trends have once again strengthened the confidence of many film companies to enter overseas markets.

Zhang Yixing's novels are also popular. In the eyes of many film and television insiders, Zhang Yixing's works seem to be box office elixirs, especially for overseas box office.

Under this circumstance, Zhang and his party held a meeting in the Dreamweaver Culture Conference Room.

At the meeting, Zhang and his party announced that Dreamweaver Culture has established a new screenwriting department, named Inception!
The Inception Screenwriting Department is led by Zhang Yixing and has established an editing team of up to ten people to specialize in batch production of movie scripts.

In the work of the screenwriting department, Zhang and his team put out the outline of the script, and the rest of the screenwriting staff perfected and added flesh and blood, thereby achieving the purpose of mass-producing the script.

In this mode, commerciality has become the biggest requirement of the script content.

There are already enough artistic directors in China!
Zhang and his party just want to go abroad to make money, so art is not their first pursuit. They only need to be like Hollywood popcorn movies, which are either brain-burning or fun!

Just work hard for the box office!

"Guiding the filming of a movie and TV series is actually a process of building a house! What Dream Weaver Culture has to do is not to be a contractor building a house, but to be an urban planner! We release the scripts of the movie and TV series, and as the producer, we select the right ones. Directors and actors go and complete this movie or TV series! We want to be the best!”

As for why the screenwriting department was named Inception, Zhang and his party quickly gave the answer!
On the second day after the Screenwriting Department was officially established, all the screenwriters in the Screenwriting Department received their first work assignment, which was an outline of a movie script called "Inception."

"Damn it! This script is awesome!"

"It's a dream within a dream, I'm really convinced by this idea!"

Hu Weishi also read the synopsis of "Inception" for the first time, and was once again amazed by Zhang Yixing's imagination. "Yixing, are you going to transform again?"

Before middle school, Zhang Yixing mainly wrote fairy tales. After entering middle school, Zhang Yixing began to write romance novels. Now, it seems that he has a new direction!

"Of course, I'm 17 years old!"

Hu Weishi was startled. Perhaps because he was so familiar with Zhang Yixing, he actually ignored Zhang Yixing's growth and always subconsciously regarded him as a child.

It’s been so many years!
She looked at Zhang Yixing carefully and suddenly felt that Zhang Yixing was a little different from some time ago.

After looking at it several times, Hu Weishi said in surprise: "Yixing, have you shaved?"

Obviously a few days ago, the young man in front of me still had a little beard at the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Yixing touched his chin, chuckled, and replied: "It's fluffy and doesn't look good, so I'll shave it off!"

Hu Weishi joked: "Who dares to say that my brother is not good-looking? The nickname of the nation's first love is widely recognized!"

Zhang Yi Xing laughed and scratched his head.

Since "A Little Thing About First Love" became a hit, as the leading actor, Zhang Yi Xing has earned the nickname "National First Love" on the Internet!

Even some entertainment newspapers and magazines have reported on this nickname.

Zhang and his party couldn't laugh or cry when they heard the news. What's the difference between this name and the dream of 900 million girls!
I’ve heard of the nation’s husband, and I’ve heard of the nation’s father-in-law, and now that I’m here, it’s the nation’s first love!

I'm a boy! Hey!
Zhang Yixing glared at Hu Weishi, "You are so dishonest!"

Hu Weishi suddenly narrowed her eyes, with murderous intent lurking in her eyes. She chuckled and raised her hand to slap Zhang Yixin hard on the head, "I used to call you sister, but now you want to call me auntie!"

Seeing Hu Wei, he raised his palm again as if he was going to slap her again. Zhang Yi Xing quickly apologized and said: "Wrong, wrong, I was wrong, sister!"

Hu Weishi hummed and put down his palm, thought for a while, and said to Zhang Yixing: "I have read the outline of the script of "Inception". Although the specific content needs to be improved, it can be seen from the outline alone that this is a very brain-burning script. A wonderful work is a very wonderful story. I think that after the script is perfected, it can be handed over to the editorial department, which will then rewrite it into a novel and publish it. We must cultivate IP and not waste good stories! "

Zhang Yixing nodded, "Sister, you can do whatever you want!"

"Where is the author's signature? What do you think?" Hu Weishi asked again.

Because the screenwriting department and the editorial department are involved in improving the content of the script and novel, if the novel is published and only signed by Zhang Yixing, if the outside world finds out in the future, it may have a bad impact on its reputation.

Others may question whether, after all, someone else participated in the creation, it is considered a ghostwriter!

Once a work is suspected of being ghostwritten, someone will regard all works as ghostwritten!
Zhang Yixing thought for a while and replied: "The author's signature is the Inception Screenwriter Department, and there is no rule that the author must be alone! Including me, all participants have their author names. I believe that the Inception Screenwriter Department will be famous. Broadcast!"

Hu Weishi agreed, sighing with an exaggerated expression: "It must be done, and it doesn't matter who leads the team, Zhang Yixing!" (End of Chapter)
