Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 677 Adaptation of Writer's Village

He Ping never thought of conquering cities and territories all over the world like American Hollywood, but at least he has to reach the level of dissemination of Korean dramas in later generations to be worthy of his identity as a time traveler, right?
The theme of martial arts is a common culture in Southeast Asia and has a very broad market prospect. It is very appropriate to test the waters with this theme in the early stage.

Moreover, martial arts are CUT-themed works in the European and American markets, and they also have a small audience.

It would be the best if TVB can cooperate with them. If the cooperation fails, He Ping can try to go overseas through Heung Kong Universal.

In addition, themes such as fairy tales and science fiction are options that can be tried. The difficulty of such works with universal value is much lower than that of Chinese classical culture, which is difficult and obscure for foreigners.

There are quite a few writers in the Writers Village who specialize in these directions, including the Three Musketeers of Beijing University. These people will be the "upstream producers" of film and television creation in the future.

After chatting with Lin Yanan about Guandong Film and Television, Luo Yihe and Liu Jun came to the door.

The two told He Ping that many people have contacted them recently, hoping to get the right to adapt their works, most of them are Hong Kong's film and television companies.

This happened as expected by He Ping. "Heroes" has become TVB's "drama king" in recent decades. How could those film and television companies in Xiangjiang who are eager for money let go of the "Three Musketeers of Beijing University".

There are also many film and television companies who have found Universal Publishing House. Their works are published by Universal Publishing House, and the copyright is also represented by the publishing house. However, Universal Publishing's attitude towards the outside world is that they have not read back. At most, they can say that the follow-up will be Invite sincere partners to cooperate.

I believe you a ghost!
This attitude made it clear that he wanted to eat alone.

The film and television companies are going to simply bypass Universal Publishing House and directly connect with the Three Musketeers of Beijing University.

It's just that they didn't expect that the relationship between the three swordsmen of Beijing University and He Ping was so strong. They made a request with them on the front foot, and these people came to He Ping on the back foot to ask for opinions.

Zha Haisheng was born in the capital, but Liu Jun and Luo Yihe could represent him. The two told He Ping in detail about the company that contacted them these days.

He Ping thought for a while after listening, and said: "These you are talking about are grass-roots teams."

Liu Jun said to Luo Yihe: "Look, I said that these people are unreliable. They all called and said bullshit, and they were timid when they offered the price."

He Pingbai said: "To tell you the truth, I intend to leave your works to Guandong Film and Television to dominate the world. But if you have a suitable partner, I will definitely not stop you. You should know me and cooperate with me It is definitely more profitable than working with outside companies, and I can assure you of this.”

Luo Yihe said: "Mr. He, what you said is off the mark. There is no need to talk about our relationship for so many years. We just want to confirm the quality of these companies that contacted us. After all, it is good for us to be able to adapt the works."

Liu Jun also said: "Teacher He, we have 1 peace of mind for you. If it weren't for you, how could we earn millions of manuscript fees a year!"

There is no such thing as royalties in this era, but He Ping’s remuneration for the printing of the Three Musketeers of Beijing University is basically equivalent to royalties, even for publishing novels in Xiangjiang. The three of them now earn their income from just one novel "Heroes" every year More than seven figures, not counting the works they are writing now.

"It's good for you to understand. Now Kanto Film and Television has a weak foundation and needs a batch of adaptation works that can drive performance. With the good start of "Heroes", your work is the most suitable. In short, you guys don't worry, Your works will definitely start filming one after another in the next few years, as long as your works are used, the adaptation fees offered by Kanto Film and Television must be the highest."

Afterwards, He Ping told them some plans for the writer's village and film and television, which gave them a lot of confidence.

In the end Liu Jun and Luo Yihe left with He Ping's promise.

When the two returned to the Writer's Village, everyone was watching, "How is it? What did He Ping say?"

"Teacher He suggested that we keep the copyright and cooperate with Guandong Film and Television."

Everyone sighed when they heard the words, the writer's village is good, but this layer of shackles made everyone feel like a stick in their throats.In the past, everyone was transparent, and no one cared about the right to adapt their own works.

But now that the case of "Aspirations of Heroes" came before, everyone was afraid that they would become like the three of Liu Jun. The copyright of the work was held in the hands of Universal Publishing House. If they disagreed, no one could do anything about it.

"Don't worry! You should trust Mr. He's character. He wants us to cooperate with Guandong Film and Television on the premise that the copyright adaptation fee given by Guandong Film and Television must be the highest among all competitors. Moreover, Guandong Film and Television is very important to our writer village. The adaptation of the works is inclined. As long as it reaches a certain level and has a certain potential for adaptation, even if the sales volume of the work is not satisfactory, it can be adapted. At that time, it was not the popularity of adapting the original work, but the adaptation of the original work It's hot."

After Liu Jun finished speaking, everyone thought about it for the same reason.

It can only be said that the hearts of the people are not enough to swallow the elephant. When most of these people even had problems publishing their works, they never thought about whether the right to adapt the works is in their hands. Even if they are allowed to publish their works for free, Adapt it to others, and they will not have any second thoughts.

"By the way, there is another good news to tell everyone that Hui Xiaotang's "Qianmen Tavern" has been confirmed to be adapted. This time, Mr. He said it himself. With the first example of adaptation, I believe there will be a second one soon. one, the third."

Liu Jun said to everyone at the end.

Hearing the news, everyone cheered.

There has been news about the adaptation of "Qianmen Tavern" before, but there is no definite information, including Hui Xiaotang himself.

Until today, Liu Jun and Luo Yihe got the answer from He Ping. As Liu Jun said, more and more works will be adapted by writers from Writers Village in the future.

It is also an adaptation, and the writers' village has two completely different attitudes towards the adaptation of "Heroes" and "Qianmen Tavern".

The Three Musketeers of Beijing University are awesome, and "Aspirations of Heroes" is also awesome, but none of this has anything to do with the Writers' Village. The three actually started writing "Aspirations of Heroes" long before they entered the Writers' Village.

However, "Qianmen Tavern" and Huixiaotang are not the same. They belong to the works and writers cultivated by the authentic writer village, which makes everyone feel full of pride. The professional writer's path is full of confidence.
