Literary life with cute baby

Chapter 312 The Dragon Snake Project

Regarding the interview, Wei Tingting mentioned it to Tang Shuang many times, but he refused every time.

This time I bring it up again, the reason is that the weekly serialized stories are very popular, and I have received many letters and phone calls from readers, all of whom are very curious about Tang Shuang, and hope to have an exclusive interview with him.

Tang Shuang couldn't bear to reject Wei Tingting too many times, and the current external environment was very different from before.

The popularity has gradually affected Tang Shuang's life, and he doesn't go to school very often!

He was exposed as soon as the filming of "Hero" started, and when the film entered the promotional stage, he had nowhere to hide.

"Hero" will be filmed within this year, and it will enter the stage of large-scale publicity in the first half of next year. At that time, we must stand in front of the stage to participate in the publicity.

And now, the "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" project has also entered the start-up stage, and there are more and more situations where he needs to show up. He accepted interviews from many media reporters at the film festival in the morning. The first time was gone, and the second The next time and the third time will come one after another, and I can't refuse, why not make a favor and agree to Wei Tingting and forget it.

Tang Shuang asked Li Haonan and Yang Shangchao about this matter, but she was asking the wrong person.

They must have thought it was perfectly fine and an interview was long overdue.

Not only that, but Yang Shangchao said, "Xiao Shuang, since you are being interviewed by "United Life Weekly", you can't favor one over the other. The company has already planned to do an interview for you, and this time is just right. What do you think?"

Tang Shuang knew that Xingkong Literature had an interview column, and invited great authors to talk about writing.

Look at Yang Shangchao, look at Li Haonan, both of them have sincere smiles on their faces, and then look at other people around them, with silly smiles on their faces.

Tang Shuang: "...All right."

Too many lice are not itchy.

A bald man suddenly said: "Editor-in-chief, the number of website views has suddenly increased, and the headquarters has asked us to make a plan for the next response."

Yang Shangchao said to the bald man, "just follow the plan", and then said to a middle-aged woman in a black professional suit sitting on the other side, "the customer service team must do a good job in explaining and receiving."

After saying this, Yang Shangchao explained to Tang Shuang that the bald man is from the information department, and the middle-aged woman is from the customer service department. What he said just now meant that after the release of the news about "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake" authorized to the Black Forest, it brought news to the website. With a huge amount of visits, it is expected that there will be many inquiries in the future.

Tang Shuang looked at her watch. It was past 14:00, and the news had already been released.

Li Haonan quickly entered the fan group, and sure enough, it boiled like a pot of boiling water.

The film and television copyright of "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake" was sold. This is not big news. Everyone knows that it will happen sooner or later. What makes everyone hotly discuss is the purchaser - Black Forest.

The black forest represents Qiu Sen, the originator of violent aesthetics!

In other words, "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake" will be directed by Qiu Sen? ?

It's exciting to think about it. His violent aesthetics, combined with the majesty and passion of the dragon and snake, there is nothing better than them.

"If Dragon Snake doesn't make a move, then he will do it. If he makes a move, he will be Qiu Sen. There is really no more suitable director than him."

"I like Qiu Sen's fist-to-flesh martial arts design, and Dragon Snake needs this kind of bloody and even cruel style to fully express the characteristics of this book."

"And his dark style, insisting on a style from beginning to end, Dragon Snake is suitable for this style, just think about it and get excited!"

"My God, there are too many classic scenes in Dragon and Snake. This should be a happy trouble for Qiu Sen. There is absolutely room for him to display the aesthetics of violence, but if he shoots the essence of each fighting scene, each one is different. It is a special test. His foundation."

"Speaking of classic scenes, which one is the most memorable and most anticipated by everyone? Let me first say that I most want to see the scene where Dynasty uses punt poles as spears to fight bloody battles in the long alley. The stimulation of hovering on the edge of life and death is even more exciting."

"I most want to see the scene of Dynasty and Baliming fighting in the prison. The iron bars are all torn apart. It's too scary and I want to see it."

"I don't know which one is better, Qiu Sen's bullet time or Tang Zichen's ability to detect danger and avoid magic."

……

These people almost ordered all the classic scenes in Dragon Snake before asking: "Who is the leading role? Who do you most want to play Dynasty?"

"It must be Zhen Li! Among the Chinese martial arts stars today, he is the most suitable, and his temperament is also very suitable."

"Li Ying is old, otherwise he is very suitable."

"Li Ying is neither old nor suitable. His temperament doesn't match Dynasty's temperament, and Zhen Li actually doesn't match Dynasty's temperament either. He's too crazy. It's a drawn knife."

"Where's Cao Jing? Did no one choose Cao Jing?"

"Cao Jing has a solid kung fu foundation, but his baby face ruins everything."

"There is no suitable star among the current stars. A newcomer should be selected. The newcomer is a blank sheet of paper and can be shaped into a realistic version of the dynasty."

……

"Is there no one who recommends the author as the imperial guard? I think he can do it well. In terms of understanding the characters, no one is better than him. As for not knowing kung fu, it doesn't matter. Liang Qiao doesn't have kung fu either, he just plays Canjian! "

There was a pause in the group, but there were a lot of speeches.

"It's him!"

"That's him @御前卫卫三条剑."

"That's him @御前卫卫三条剑."

"That's him @御前卫卫三条剑."

……

Li Haonan was taken aback, and looked at Tang Shuang who didn't know the situation, thinking that you are too wishful thinking, based on his understanding of Tang Shuang, this is impossible.

It is impossible for Tang Shuang to act, let alone lead the role!

It was very difficult to ask him to be interviewed, and he was unwilling to show his face.

Although many people in the group also @ him, hoping to convey everyone's opinions to the author, Li Haonan pretended not to know, so he didn't ask Tang Shuang, because Tang Shuang would treat him like an idiot.

……

This is not the only thing that excites everyone. According to the official announcement, Black Forest got the film copyright and TV series copyright of "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake"!

"The Romance of the Dragon and Snake" TV series will be the first to start filming!Open to the entire network in the form of a web drama!
What the official announcement did not say is that during the negotiation process, Tang Shuang, Qiu Sen and others specifically mentioned the Dragon Snake web drama. The whole film will be divided into 12 episodes, each 45 minutes long. Although it is a TV series, the plot must be kept tight. and fast paced.

Moreover, the Dragon Snake web series will be directed by Qiu Sen himself, and this will be his first TV series.

The two parties agreed to shoot Dragon Snake TV series with the high standards of movies, and strive to set a new benchmark for Chinese TV series.

Another problem brought about by this is that regarding the investment, the amount of money is too large for Starry Sky Literature and Black Forest to bear.

It’s not that the money cannot be paid out, but from the perspective of risk control, third-party investors must be introduced in order to reduce risks and balance benefits and risks.

The two parties packaged Dragon Snake's film and television copyright, including movies and TV series, as a large project. After being evaluated by the outside world, they will carry out financing. The project shares held by financing will not exceed 30%, and they will not have voting rights, only supervision rights.

That is to say, although the third party pays, it has no right to interfere with the filming of movies and TV shows, only enjoys dividends, and has the right to monitor and raise doubts about the entire capital flow.

The two parties have some hard conditions for the third party. It is not enough to have money to buy shares. They must have their own resources and provide project support in other aspects to play a supplementary role.

For example, Xingkong Literature provides ideas and projects, while Black Forest provides filming and production. According to the analysis of industry chain links, other investors can be media companies with media resources and platforms, or distribution companies with strong distribution channels. , it can be a related company with a film and television base and excellent actor resources...

Everyone complements each other's resources, leverages each other's strengths, and works together to do a good job in big projects.

So, how much is the 30% stake in the Dragon Snake Project worth?

This is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words. A third-party evaluation company must be invited to conduct an all-round evaluation of the project. The workload is very heavy, and there are even many uncertain factors, because it involves the estimation of future box office and peripheral income, and even It may also involve a gambling agreement...

So this is also the reason why Xingkong Literature and Black Forest did not hold a press conference. The two parties only signed a licensing agreement, which is still too early for the project to start, and there is a lot of work to be done.

After Tang Shuang discussed the release and promotion of Dragon Snake with everyone, the next discussion was to set up a working group for the Dragon Snake project.

Such a big project was something that Xingkong Literature had never done before. It was necessary to set up a professional team and arrange special personnel to promote it.

The team leader is the editor-in-chief of Xingkong Literature Headquarters, and there are two deputy team leaders, Yang Shangchao and Tang Shuang.

In fact, the main work is done by Yang Shangchao, the team leader is just a name, and Tang Shuang, to a greater extent, is equivalent to the supervisor of this project. He does not intervene in specific work, but has the right to supervise and participate in decision-making.

Under the deputy team leader, there are 10 members, including Li Haonan.

Under the working group, 10 groups were divided, and 10 members acted as group leaders and were directly responsible to Yang Shangchao.

Black Forest has also set up a special docking team, the team leader is the company's deputy general manager, and Qiu Sen is the deputy team leader, in charge of filming and TV series shooting.He has to concentrate on this, and leave other work such as financing and coordination to professionals.

The entire working group has come to Guangdong from Hong Kong and will be permanently stationed in Guangdong. The place of work and rest is in the hotel, which is no more than 500 meters away from the Guangdong branch of Xingkong Literature.

As soon as the agreement was signed and the news was announced, the two groups of people started rushing forward like a starting train, and the speed would become faster and faster.

Tang Shuang said to Yang Shangchao: "Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Yang, this project needs your attention."

Yang Shangchao smiled and waved his hands. Except for his rich experience, no one else can take over here.

"Xiao Shuang, you'd better arrange for someone from the legal affairs team to come in."

Tang Shuang thought about it, Yang Shangchao was right, this is a billion-dollar project, there should be no sloppy, let alone just saying "I trust you".

This is the loyalty of buddies, drinking and talking nonsense is acceptable, but it is not the rule of doing business.

You trust me, I don't trust you yet.

Taking all aspects into consideration and making each link impeccable is the responsibility of both parties.

Tang Shuang nodded. This person must understand the law and be trustworthy.

Seeing that Tang Shuang agreed, Yang Shangchao asked again if the finance team also arranged for someone to come in.

Tang Shuang shook her head and said no.

Although the financial team involves money, it is the most reassuring, because this large project needs external financing, so every move will be open to third parties, open and transparent, first accept the thorough evaluation of the third-party company, and then after the financing comes in, Many parties will form a new financial group, and there is nowhere to hide every money flow.

Playing tricks here is the most risky and the most stupid.
