Acting school started in 1998

Chapter 392 The Legend of Sword and Fairy

"Shh!"

Li Tang opened the curtains, and the rays of the rising sun in the morning poured in warmly.

Under the sunshine, he stretched deeply and did a few more stretching movements. It was a bit laborious and the ligaments were a bit tight.

It has been somewhat slack during this period, just like a machine that is running frequently. It occasionally stops for a period of time, and there will always be a sense of jerkiness when it is started again.

The ex-girlfriend wearing a kitchen apron poked her head out of the door and shouted: "Okay, brush your teeth and wash your face quickly, breakfast is ready."

After staying with his ex-girlfriend for two days, Li Tang once again lived a long-lost life of having clothes to eat and food to eat.

Coming out of the bathroom, a large plate was placed on the dining table covered with a red and white checkered tablecloth, which was neatly stacked with cucumbers, radishes, and juicy lettuce, cilantro, and peppers. There was a plate of translucent fried egg sauce.

There are several small plates next to them, including bean curds, pickles, and two steaming steamed buns... Oh no, in the north those with fillings should be called steamed buns.

The ex-girlfriend brought out a bowl of steaming rice porridge from the kitchen and put it in front of Li Tang. He sat down and spread out a piece of tofu skin. He first put a piece of lettuce on it, then added a few cucumbers and radish strips, and then garnished it. Two coriander sticks, finally rolled up, dipped in some egg sauce, and handed over.

"Give!"

Li Tang was already accustomed to his ex-girlfriend taking care of him, so he took it as a matter of course and took a bite.This is the famous Northeastern pickle. In fact, it is best to serve it with Northeastern green onions, but as a public figure these days, we try to avoid flavorful food, especially since Li Tang has to perform road shows in five movie theaters in Beijing today.

Moreover, conditions are limited in the capital city. If I were in my hometown in the Northeast, and paired with some wild vegetables such as bitter chrysanthemum and mother-in-law, the taste would be even more beautiful.

The rice porridge was too hot to eat yet, so Li Tang picked up a big steamed bun... and took a bite. It was quite rich in content, including eggs, vermicelli, diced mushrooms and a whole large shrimp. The smell of sesame oil was very strong.

"Did you make it fresh this morning?"

"No, Xiu Xiu made it yesterday." Her girlfriend glanced at her, "She knows you like to eat this."

This guy gnawed on the buns happily and said vaguely: "Well, it's better to show off and think about me all the time."

The ex-girlfriend hummed: "Yeah, you two are now working together to fool me."

Li Tang knew what she was talking about about 100 million. He swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped his hands with a tissue, and said, "You always make things look like real things. It's so refreshing when you use them." ,Why bother?"

He lowered his head and blew on the rice porridge in the bowl, then took a cautious sip.After all, it is porridge made from authentic Wuchang rice. After leaving it for a while, a thick layer of rice oil accumulates. It is delicious in your mouth when you drink it. It is also delicious when paired with some refreshing pickles.

He casually changed the subject and said, "This rice of yours will definitely be great for cooking rice."

"Then you have to use a firewood stove or a big pot to cook it to make it fragrant. Besides, aren't you leaving tonight? Let's wait until next year."

"The schedule has been changed. We will leave tomorrow morning, and we have to fly back tomorrow evening."

"Why bother?"

"The crew cooperated with a domestic business jet airline for advertising purposes. We flew to Shanghai and Guangzhou on their company's new aircraft on No. 16 and No. 17," Li Tang said.

When the ex-girlfriend heard this, her eyes widened and she said, "Private plane?"

So-called private jets are definitely a rarity in China these days, and those who own private jets are even rarer.Especially for the ex-girlfriend who came from a small place, such high-end luxury is full of curiosity and yearning.

"It's that kind of small business jet, not a private jet. That company is in the rental business." Li Tang corrected.

"How much does it cost to rent one time?"

"Uh……"

Li Tang really couldn't answer this question. He could only guess based on what he saw and heard in the United States in his previous life and combined with the actual domestic situation: "If you fly domestically, it will cost hundreds of thousands at a time; if you fly overseas, it will cost you hundreds of thousands." It’s hard to say, but I guess it will start at least a million.”

"Is it so expensive?" the ex-girlfriend couldn't help but exclaimed.

"That's an airplane. It costs more than RMB [-] million per plane. How much interest will you get if you deposit so much money in the bank? The return on investment must be higher than the bank interest. Moreover, the usual maintenance fees, insurance, pilots, and fuel costs, It will scare people to death if you say it." Li Tang analyzed it very skillfully.

Business jet leasing companies like this are very common in the United States, and governments and large companies are customers of such companies.Naturally, the government has taxpayers to foot the bill, and U.S. government spending itself is staggeringly large; companies, on the one hand, are pursuing work efficiency, and on the other hand, they are also trying to offset taxes.After all, if you don’t spend the money, you’ll be taxed heavily, so why not enjoy it while everyone else enjoys it?

The Rainbow Business Jet Company that cooperated with the "Heroes" crew this time was obviously on the right track. Not only did it bring out a relatively new Challenger 604 business jet produced by Canada's Bombardier Company, but the two flights were It flies from Beijing to Shanghai, and from Shanghai to Guangzhou.Concentrated in the three most developed cities in the mainland, they are also the cities with the largest number of large companies and wealthy people.

One more thing, Shenzhen is still a younger brother than Guangzhou these days.

After breakfast, Li Tang changed his clothes and prepared to go out.

"So early?"

"Go to the company. There are some things that need to be taken care of. I have already called the driver to pick him up." Li Tang said.

The ex-girlfriend was a little reluctant to leave. While helping Li Tang sort out his clothes, she put her hands around his waist and muttered: "It's so boring. I don't know when we will see each other next time."

"Then... how about you cook some food and rice tonight and I'll come back?"

"Really?" The ex-girlfriend raised her head and said in surprise.

"I'll come over if you do, but it will definitely be later." Li Tang looked down at her and smiled.

Both of them are very busy at work and have very little time together in a year.As long as his ex-girlfriend doesn't go too far, Li Tang still cherishes the time the two spend together.

The ex-girlfriend’s eyes flashed and she said: “You need to use Shanghai greens when cooking, preferably ham. I remember seeing it when I was buying vegetables yesterday. I went to buy vegetables after a while, and I happened to have a piece of bacon at home. .When you come back, make a call and I will simmer the rice, otherwise it will not taste good if it simmers for a long time..."

Listening to his ex-girlfriend chattering, Li Tang lowered his head and kissed her: "Okay, okay, it's time for me to go out. See you tonight!"

The ex-girlfriend hugged his neck and stood up on tiptoes to peck him on the lips: "Well, see you tonight! Don't forget to call before you come back."

"I know, bye!"...

"Brother, what are your plans for Director Wang's book?" Zeng Jia walked into the office and asked.

"What do you think of this book?" Li Tang looked up at the document in his hand and asked.

Zeng Jia shook his head and frowned: "There are too few lines, and the plot is quite bland. Director Wang may want to express the contradiction between American law and Chinese customs, as well as the father-son relationship between the second brother and Fu Sheng, right?" "

Li Tang was also noncommittal, precisely because the script was simple. In addition to understanding it in detail, it was best to have an in-depth communication with the screenwriter and director Wang Xiaoshuai.He and Wang Xiaoshuai just had a brief encounter at the dinner table last night. Wang Xiaoshuai wanted to tell a story about a repressed young man in a small town and an American dream that has never been given up, to express that happy times are short and confusing. And wandering is the eternal theme.

To put it bluntly, it is the pretentiousness of a typical literary youth.

But at the same time, you can't deny that the story in the script actually exists along the coast of Hu Jian.

Li Tang had heard a sentence in New York's Chinatown in his previous life, which was called: "The whole world is afraid of the United States, and the United States is afraid of Hu Jian." If it were more accurate, the second half of the sentence should be "The United States is afraid of Changle."

It is said that many of Hu Jian's stowaways who came to the United States came from the same place - Changle.The total population of that place is only 70, but the number of people smuggled into the United States is said to be as high as 20.

In the final analysis, it is all about making a living.

People always yearn for a better life, especially Chinese people who are very hardworking and hardworking.People from the coast are going abroad, which is the same reason that large numbers of farmers are now moving to cities to work.

"Brother, are you planning to take on this drama?"

Li Tang looked up at Zeng Jia, nodded and said: "Anyway, Lou Ye's face is involved, so it would be inappropriate not to accept it. You can contact Director Wang later. In addition, they don't have much money. In terms of remuneration, ...Well, you can take control of it yourself, don’t worry too much.”

Zeng Jia had an idea and hurriedly said: "Otherwise, let's convert the remuneration into investment!"

Although the script looks bland, Wang Xiaoshuai's strength is there.Moreover, his last film "17 Years Old Bicycle" also told a dull story, but it did not prevent this film from winning the Berlin Film Festival's Jury Prize, and it is said that overseas copyright sales were quite good.

"Turn it into an investment?"

Li Tang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, since it's to help, then I'll help to the end."

Not to mention whether the other party is willing to accept this condition, even if he reluctantly agrees, he probably won’t feel comfortable, so why bother!
Moreover, Wang Xiaoshuai's situation was completely different from that of Zhang Baibai and Liu Fendou. On the one hand, Zhang Baibai and Liu Fendou were begging for themselves; on the other hand, he had no friendship with them at the time and was purely talking about business.

He happened to have a schedule at the moment, and he was quite interested in the role of the second brother, not to mention that he was also interested in Lou Ye's favor.In fact, he really doesn't care about the remuneration, as long as he doesn't pay for nothing.

"understood."

Now that Li Tang has decided, Zeng Jia only needs to play the role of executor.

But she did not leave. Instead, she sat on the chair in front of the desk and said, "Brother, do you know The Legend of Sword and Fairy?"

"Of course I know, it's a game!"

I loved playing this game back then. I remember the Legend of Sword and Fairy for Windows 95 version and the 98 Tenderness Chapter. Oh, and the new Legend of Sword and Fairy that was just released last year: the Ling'er version, the Yueru version, and the true love feedback version. Wait, there are so many treasures.

In fact, since time travel, after playing large-scale online games in the previous life, I am not very interested in this kind of stand-alone version of the game. However, affected by the memory of the original body, I will still pay attention to it from time to time, and occasionally play two games.

Zeng Jia blinked and said with a mysterious face: "But do you know that this game has already published a novel called "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and it is selling very well."

"novel?"

This was the first time Li Tang had heard of this, but when he looked at Zeng Jia's smiling eyes, he suddenly had an idea and said, "You mean you plan to adapt "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" into a TV series?"

The film and television drama copyright of the novel "Bright Sword" has been obtained, but it is still in a wait-and-see mode for the time being, with no plans to launch it yet.However, Zeng Jia also got inspiration from this and has been paying attention to best-selling books on the market recently.

The novel "New Legend of Sword and Fairy" was already very popular when it was serialized on the Internet. The physical book was just published not long ago and has been sought after by the majority of computer game fans.

Zeng Jia himself is no stranger to this game. Back then, if family conditions were better and computers were installed at home, it can be said that there were very few people who had not played this game.So Zeng Jia keenly understood the business opportunities contained in it.

Why are novels popular?

It is because this game has a huge base of computer game fans, and with the publication of the novel, this reader base will be further expanded. If it can be adapted into a TV series, the audience base will be ready, and it can further expand the game and The popularity of the novel is simply a win-win-win-win.

"That's right! Brother, what do you think?" Zeng Jia suddenly said with a smile.

She had been planning this for some time, and now she felt that the idea was mature, so she mentioned it to Li Tang.In addition, the boss is about to go on a publicity road show, and she is also afraid that someone will get there first.

"pretty good……"

Li Tang nodded subconsciously, because many games have been adapted into movies and TV series in later generations. Similarly, many movie and TV series, including comics, have been adapted into large-scale online games and mobile games.

In this regard, the United States has definitely achieved the ultimate, and in the next 20 years, superhero series will almost occupy a large share of the global box office.There's also Truck Driver's "Avatar" being adapted into a game and so on.

He didn't understand games, and as far as he knew, on the one hand, this thing burned money, and on the other hand, it was concentrated in the hands of a few leading companies in the end.Acquire first, otherwise the acquisition will squeeze you to death. To put it bluntly, the winner takes all.

But this does not mean that you cannot use film and television copyrights to develop derivative products. You can seek cooperation with large Internet companies, or simply take dividends from copyrights. This is what the big Hollywood companies do, and the benchmark is Disney.

Of course, this is just his idea. The time has not come yet, so there is no need to say it out.After pondering for a moment, he strongly supported Zeng Jia's proposal and said, "You can handle this matter. I have no problem here."

"Okay, thank you, brother!" Zeng Jia suddenly said excitedly.

She has always played the role of executor before, but this time it is different. This time it is her own idea from beginning to end, and she is particularly confident that she can do a good job in this project.

At the same time, she also had a feeling of "getting to meet the Ming Lord".

As the saying goes, opportunities are everywhere, but there is a lack of eyes to discover them.The same goes for people. No matter how good her idea is, if she doesn't get the support of her boss and doesn't have enough resources and platform, it's all in vain.

　I have something to do tomorrow, so the update may be a little late.If it's too late, you can only ask for leave. I hope everyone understands, and don't forget to guarantee your monthly ticket. Thank you everyone!
