My girlfriend is from the future!

Chapter 398

After the scandal in the morning, He Tianran really didn't want to continue contacting Wen Liang.

The two have no grievances, and it's not like He Tianran, an artist and star who is full of black material, has never been in contact with him. Everyone knows the scheming and calculations in this circle. Anyway, during the cooperation period, if they can do things well, it will be considered a success.

As for after the cooperation, He Tianran really wanted to avoid female artists like Wen Liang.

It's not that he doesn't want to find out the truth behind this matter, it's that he really doesn't have the time, and there's no need to waste his time on this kind of thing. Whether he's warm or not has nothing to do with him. If the other party is like last year's Bai Lingye Similarly, if you have a strong relationship with yourself in terms of interests, then it doesn't matter if this kind of lace scandal spreads, and you can cooperate with pretending to be deaf and dumb, and get more exposure.

But now I have become a stepping stone unilaterally, and I have caused a lot of trouble if I didn't please.

He Tianran gave a follow-up solution:
"Sister Taozi, you asked the colleague who manages our studio's social account to post the stills from yesterday's studio. It's a clarification on the side. With a solid hammer, this matter can't spread. Although it's not a big deal, it should have public relations. There is still awareness.

Later, you should also contact Li Lan and ask their company's account to help forward it. By the way, so far, their artists have had accidents, so they should be more urgent than us. The artist team didn't contact you, did they? "

Yao Qingtao pursed her lips and shrugged:

"No, you're stupid. The other party is probably waiting for our reaction. How can I say that Wen Liang is not a front line now. She can't wait for more news like this, not to mention that the other party is still a positive one in the news this time. Image, if we need to be urgent, we are also in a hurry.”

He Tianran frowned and said:
"Is this how their company handled celebrity scandals before?"

"Oh, as long as this kind of news does not affect public order and good morals, and the bottom line of morality, there will rarely be a public relations team involved. Whether it is true or false, you can't tell whether it is the company's hype or the paparazzi really took pictures. Isn't Wen Liang always like that, if it's Bai Lingye, sister Lan will probably be a little anxious."

He Tianran understood, and felt a little more disgust towards Wen Liang. If she really wrote and directed it herself, then their company's inaction can be explained.

……

……

As the time approached noon, A Liu, the author of "The Wild in the Heart", came to He Tianran's company on time.

This is a woman whose actual age is 30+ but looks very much like a college student. She is about 1.6 meters tall and has a pear-shaped head with a small bag on her body. The black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose set off the slightly rounded outline of her cheeks. I don't know, I thought it was the baby fat of young people, it looks very age-reducing, but this is purely the result of He Ranran locking her up in the Edition Hotel not long ago, working hard on the script every day, and the food is too good .

No, as soon as she stepped into the door of "Future Production", she began to complain...

"Director He, are you still changing the book? Don't change it, the child can't stand it, please let me go, now when I receive a call from your company, I already have PDST..."

The employees of the studio laughed when they heard this, thinking that this kind of situation has happened more frequently recently, and they are no longer surprised by it.

He Tianran stood on the second floor with his hands on the railing. He was full of enthusiasm for the upcoming second drama of "Future Production". As the shooting time approached, he became more excited, which made him After getting out of the depressed mood in the morning, he was in a great mood and wanted to pinch Ah Liu's chubby face downstairs.

"Mr. Aliu, you are the author of the original work. Shouldn't you be paying more attention to this kind of thing than I am? Come on, stop the ink, just shivering for the last time, Xiao Zhu, Xiao Chen, go upstairs for a meeting. "

"Okay natural bro~"

"Come on~"

He Tianran greeted, and A Liu, who was reluctant downstairs, was surrounded by two young screenwriter girls from the company and came to the conference room on the second floor.

When filming "A Thousand Knots of the Heart" last year, Ah Liu did not participate in the work of adapting the script. This was mainly because she was finishing another novel in her hand at the time and did not have the time. Now the adaptation of "In the Wild" has started , He Tianran pulled her into the screenwriting team. Although writing a novel and writing a script are not the same way, the difference between the two is not that big. It only takes ten and a half months for the relevant practitioners to master the writing. It is not difficult to get into the law and format.

Of course, the so-called format and rules are just a standard threshold for the convenience of filming and better understanding by the creative staff of various departments after the unified standardization. The important thing is the content of the story. Whether it is a novel or a script, it is The most common goal of the core.

What's more, with the author of the original work participating in such an adaptation, He Tianran believes that it can better grasp the essence of the original work.

"The Wild in the Heart" is not the best-selling novel created by Ah Liu in her online writing career. In fact, the "heart" character trilogy can be regarded as a series of works in her early and mid-term, but since the creation of "The Wild in the Heart" From the very beginning, she gradually formed her own style and established her future creative direction.

Thinking back to two years ago, Ah Liu asked He Tianran why she didn't choose some of her popular works, but chose some novels that she was immature in the early days?

He Tianran answered very honestly. First, Dahong’s IP was unaffordable, and the licensing fee was 400 million yuan, which was undoubtedly an unbearable burden for the "future production" that was not yet profitable at the time.

Second, He Tianran said frankly that in A Liu's early works, he felt a sense of sharpness and urgency, and there was a kind of wild roughness and stubbornness in the writing. He liked it very much, and later became famous with A Liu , this feeling became less and less, and more of a mellow handling of the plot, a flexibility in the text.

This can't be said to be bad, it can only be said that He Tianran prefers her in the early days.

In this regard, Aliu also spoke bluntly, saying that when she was writing the article, she had just graduated from university, and she had changed several jobs but was not satisfied, so she could only stay at home and write online articles. She was very satisfied with what she wrote. Not obsequious, the heroine is not nympho, she is good at constructing some suspenseful and captivating stories, her writing style is quite exquisite, but... she doesn't make money.

However, the more she does not earn money, the more unwilling she is, and the more she wants to prove herself when she is rebellious. At that time, she was holding her breath like this. This is how she wrote the "heart" trilogy against the market. Finished.

However, this allowed her to accumulate some fame, and also laid the groundwork for the fire of the next book.

But just like what He Tianran said, he can no longer see the youthful and savage growth between the lines in the first trilogy of A Liu.

It is a pity that there is one less creator in this world who can stubbornly tell her own story; but it is very gratifying that she changed some of her paranoid ideas, knew how to adapt to the market, and finally achieved the success she dreamed of.

However, thanks to the fact that the "heart" character trilogy belongs to her early works, He Tianran won the copyright of "A Thousand Knots of Heart" and "Heart in the Wild" at a price of 100 million yuan each.

He Tianran will never forget such a scene, that was when the copyright was negotiated, when the website platform arranged for him to meet A Liu, after everyone had a happy dinner, A Liu asked him a question in private.

"Mr. He, this is not the first time I have sold copyright. In fact, the selling price of the fire book I am writing now is more expensive than the sum of these two books, but I am still very happy that you can choose these two books. Really I am very happy, because I know that you are the one who has really read these two books, you will not spoil them, and I will give them to you, I am very relieved, can I ask you a question?"

"You say."

"When I wrote these two books, I didn't have the current achievements, let alone any IP value. You said, I insisted on my own style and wrote these books, was that right?"

At that time, Ah Liu, who was only one step away from becoming a great female video writer, drank some wine and blushed. Although she was already famous, when talking about her initial creative career, there was still a look on her face. A rare lack of self-confidence.

She asked cautiously, as if spreading out the softest part of her creative career...

When He Tianran heard this question, he was silent for a long time.

Ah Liu didn't pursue the question. The answer to this question seemed to be meaningless no matter how she answered it after she proved her commercial value...

When the banquet was over and everyone parted, He Tianran suddenly said to A Liu who was already sitting in the taxi:
"Mr. Aliu, you were right to insist on yourself. Maybe my answer now is too late for you, but please believe me, I can prove it to you."

Aliu in the car looked at his younger brother who was six or seven years younger than him. At that time, He Tianran was not good enough to be called a director. , only his family background.

But for some reason, the sentence "Please trust me, I can prove it to you" seems to be sincere from the heart of this young man, and it is so sonorous and powerful that it is convincing.

At that time, A Liu nodded. In the following days, she was very concerned about the adaptation and filming progress of the series. People who have already experienced the world will not be easily moved by a word, so compared to the three words "trust me", it is more touching. What she cares about is the word "proof".

What followed was brilliant.

He Tianran fulfilled his promise, and a year later, "A Thousand Knots of Heart" ushered in a big hit.

Well, let's stop with the old things and talk about the present.

He Tianran, who was sitting at the head seat in the conference room, was very satisfied to see that all the members had arrived. Now "Future Production" has its own screenwriting team, with a total of eight people, but there are not many film and television drama projects in development now. The main business is The Shanhai Group's commercials are the main ones, so sometimes their "screenwriters" have to take on the two duties of "copywriting" or "director". That is, there are more real shots and films, and the director is to a large extent.

The continuous business from Shanhai Group is undoubtedly an opportunity for He Tianran to train his troops. Everyone pays more for more work, even in a first-tier city like Hong Kong City, it is considered a very good salary. What's more, in the future, if you want to switch from director to screenwriter, or screenwriter to director, there will be opportunities.

And working with He Tianran, the future is not the same, he is not too rare, anyway, the money must be in place.

"We can't let people who engage in art go hungry, but before engaging in art, we have to live in a more secular way."

This is the catchphrase that He Tianran has been talking about since he became the boss, and he really didn't boast about it. As soon as he made 80 videos about the surfing line business, all the people in the company turned up. Worry about not filming.

Now here are two girls, Xiao Zhu and Xiao Chen, who have not participated in the commercial filming at the beginning, and have been working with He Tianran and A Liu to advance the progress of the script of "The Wild in the Heart". Both of them participated in the last " The old man adapted from the script of "A Thousand Knots of Heart" is an old man. One graduated from a major and the other became a monk halfway through. Each has its own advantages, patience and enthusiasm, and is very trustworthy and cultivated.

Therefore, the creation of the entire script of "Inner Wild" in the early stage was completed by the four people present together. He Tianran is mainly responsible for the overall control and structure construction. It is the other three people who really fill the skeleton.

"In this meeting, there is a good news and a bad news. I haven't had time to share these two news with other people in the company. Let's discuss it internally with the screenwriter team, because it may affect the characters, especially the heroine. One of the character design changes, of course, the overall plot will not change."

He Tianran cut straight to the point, six eyes stared at him, and A Liu cast a suspicious look at him:

"Good news and bad news are mostly the same thing, just follow along."

He Tianran smiled: "Cough, it's true..." Afterwards, he thought about it: "That's right, because of the success of "A Thousand Knots of the Heart" last time, apart from my own Shanhai Group, this time "A Thousand Knots" was successful. The investment promotion of "In the Wild" has ushered in a big client, which is Penguin Film and Television under the Goose Factory... I must be familiar with this, Mr. Liu, after all, the platform on which your novel is released is also under the Goose Factory, and now it is considered to be returning to her natal home gone."

Everyone was a little dazed about this heavy news. Goose Factory has always been rich and powerful in the industry. This time, it is a work under its own platform, so it must be extraordinary.

"How much are they going to vote for?" screenwriter Xiao Zhu couldn't help asking.

He Tianran slapped his face.

"Isn't that the same as Director He's father? Now the production budget has been doubled! This is an S-level project!"

The industry generally has a standard for the current production budget of film and television dramas. The total production budget of small-scale projects is about 3000-5000 million yuan, and the waist project is about 5000-8000 million yuan. The higher ones belong to the relatively head-level S-level. item up.

The 3000 million yuan for "A Thousand Knots" was really small. The quality is good because the number of episodes is small, the novel is only 37 words, and the whole film is only [-] episodes. The content is compressed enough, and the scenes of modern drama Ah, Fuhuadao and the like are not as troublesome as costume dramas. If you can save costs, you can save money and become popular. It is really a typical example of doing a dojo in a snail shell.

For example, the full text of "The Wild in the Heart" is 90 words, and the script was written for 45 episodes. The scenes spanned the frontiers outside the Great Wall, Jiangnan water towns, and the imperial palace. There is already a successful TV series as the foundation, and the Shanhai Group is behind it. The budget plan is almost the same. It was the same as before. Half of the investment in Shanhai was made, and half was left for others to come in. Unexpectedly, the investment promotion went so far. Another monster was recruited.

"Then... if you put Penguin in, it's considered a co-production, right? The other party should have quite a lot of demands, right? There are so many film and television agencies under Penguin, all of which are waiting to be fed."

Screenwriter Xiao Chen said with a little worry.

He Tianran nodded, and he immediately looked at A Liu:

"That's right, some specific matters are still being discussed, but they already have requirements for actors and entertainers. We are a drama adapted from a female drama, and it is easier to promote actresses, so they want to use the position of heroine." own people."

"Who is it?" The two screenwriter girls were very curious.

"Gu Qiaoman."

When He Tianran uttered a name, everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a look of "So it's her" as if suddenly realized.

"The newly promoted princess of Goose Factory. In recent years, she has been promoted by some of the major female lead dramas produced by Goose Factory. Her resources are so good that it is outrageous. Although she looks sweet, her acting skills have always been criticized. Shouting, or just shy, I heard that when she was taking the film school entrance examination, she was the last one in the third test, she barely passed the line with luck."

Xiao Zhu began to gossip.

"How about it, Teacher Aliu, what do you think?"

He Tianran didn't care about this, he just looked directly at A Liu and asked.

As a person who devotes all his efforts to his own work, the author of the original work has the right to comment on the role candidates.

Of course, to put it bluntly, this opinion is nothing more than a "reference opinion". The weight varies from time to time. Even He Tianran can't reject such a condition of direct investment replacement, let alone talking about the screenwriters under him. or the original author.

A Liu took a deep breath, folded his hands, raised his head and thought for a while, and said slowly:
"I don't have any prejudice against the girl Gu Qiaoman. I've seen some of her plays before. She's considered a first-line girl now. How does she compare with Lingye?"

Xiao Zhu quickly added:

"In terms of resources, sister Lingye is a complete failure compared to her, and whether it is fighting for endorsements or fans, sister Lingye is one level behind. After all, Gu Qiaoman is backed by the goose factory, but they all belong to that Such a webcast platform or the traffic in film and television dramas is a small flower, but it is a tie in movies for the time being."

Ah Liu thought while saying:

"That's it... Actually, what troubles me now is that no matter when I was writing novels or scripts, the image of a girl from a small family like Gu Qiaoman never appeared in my mind. I can't imagine a picture where she overlaps with my character, of course, I don't mean to belittle others by saying this."

He Tianran asked: "Then A Liu, who was in your mind when you created?"

"Just Maggie Cheung, Wang Zuxian, Qiu Shuzhen, Zhu Yin and so on."

"Is there... a newcomer my age? Don't stay in the previous era in terms of aesthetics."

"Oh, after the age of 30, people start to fall in love with the old, and I don't chase stars... Let me think about it. Apart from Lingye, some of the young actresses of the right age now impress me... Hey, this morning I When I came here, I still swiped my phone and found a piece of gossip about you, Director He, and I still want to chat with you, what is the name of that female artist who dumped your face?"

Speaking of this, Ah Liu suddenly became excited, and He Tianran's eyes almost went dark.

Xiao Zhu on the side reminded, "It's called Wen Liang."

"Yes, yes, yes, I have the impression that I like Zhu Yin. Zhu Yin has played Huang Rong, and Wen Liang seems to have played Huang Rong, right? I have a good impression of her. When I first heard her name, I thought it was this name. It’s very unique, I thought it was a stage name.”

Ah Liu opened up the chatter box, and the two girls around her were chattering one after another, involuntarily discussing some gossip outside the topic:

"Sister Liu, other people's name is Wen Liang. It's not a stage name, but Gu Qiaoman. The other person's original name is Gu Ling. She and Wen Liang were in the same dormitory. At the beginning, Wen Liang was the first in the art test, and Gu Ling was the last." , now the two are taking turns."

"Ah? Is that so? I think the girl Wen Liang is very recognizable in this circle, right? Her acting skills are also very good. I have chased after her "Legend of the Condor Heroes" as an idol drama. Why is she Haven't you walked in the past few years?"

"Oh, I think so too. The main reason is that there are too many scandals. I think she is really a pity. When I wrote the script, I thought of her. If she develops better in the past few years, maybe we can still find her in this drama." she came..."

He Tianran: "Cough..."

As the saying goes, there are three women in one play, and when these three female screenwriters get together, their small mouths can't stop talking. Even if He Tianran deliberately interrupted by coughing, no one pays attention to him...

The interruption of the topic was interrupted by Yao Qingtao's door opening.

"what happened?"

He Tianran looked at Yao Qingtao with a hasty expression on his face.

"Director He, you have been approached by someone."

"Huh? Who came to me?"

He Tianran looked puzzled.

"Didn't Wen Liang call you in the morning, and you hung up."

"Ah, yes."

Yao Qingtao looked around the room, and couldn't care less about saving He Ranran any face, why:

"Someone is coming directly to the company to block you now..."

"What?!"

He Tianran stood up directly, and then rushed out the door.

Is this girl so brave?
Why has she been everywhere these two days...

The three female screenwriters in the room heard what a good guy, and the righteous master came as soon as he spoke. The fire of gossip in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and they walked out of the house one after another, including Yao Qingtao, A few of them were lying on the railing on the second floor, looking at the man and woman who were about to meet on the first floor...

(PS: By the way, today is Wenliang’s official birthday, and the novel hits the street. In the past two days, I have had hives, and I haven’t had time to prepare any activities, but the next plot should involve the plot of "birthday" , it can be regarded as a feedback to the readers who have always liked Ah Liang, I hope everyone can like it.)
