Big names rise
Chapter 58 "Stewardess"
() Farewell to Kang Honglei, Tao Quduo and others, He Mu got on the plane to go home, this time not to the capital, but to his hometown, where Xiao Fang had already sent a photography team to wait for him.
While He Mu was returning home, Xiao Fang invited Li Wenhua to a quiet tea room.
"Mr. Xiao," Li Wenhua reached out to shake hands with Xiao Fang. It was the first time he came to such an elegant place. He felt that it was suitable for his status as a cultural businessman, and he could come here often in the future, "This place is nice, come often? "
Xiao Fang chuckled: "It's my first time here too. It's just arty. I heard that many people in the literary circle like to come here, so I made an appointment with Mr. Li here, and I'm satisfied."
"If half a year ago, I should have liked wine and other places more, but now, I like it here, Jing," Li Wenhua smelled the tea in his hand, "and it smells good." Since his father's incident, Li Wenhua has become more stable. Quite a few, and his temper and disposition have also changed a lot.
Xiao Fang nodded, as expected, he was a man of culture. He first expressed his gratitude to Li Wenhua: "Thank you for those photos. With them, we won't be so passive."
Li Wenhua waved his hand: "It's outrageous to say this based on the relationship between Muzi and I, and Mr. Xiao has already said thank you that day, so don't talk about it anymore, let's talk about business."
"Okay," Xiao Fang returned to the topic, "Our company hopes to obtain the film and television adaptation rights of "Living with a Stewardess", and I hope that Mr. Li can contact the author of this book."
Li Wenhua smiled, "Mr. Xiao may not know yet, but the author Thirty has authorized the agency of Tiandi Xuanhuang for the adaptation of this book. I can make the decision to discuss this business with Mr. Xiao."
"Oh, that's great." A gleam of joy flashed in Xiao Fang's eyes, "Brother Wenhua must be merciful, my company is just a small business, and this time I will definitely invest a lot in order to help He Mu create this drama. So the adaptation fee is... hehe."
Damn, play the friendship card!Li Wenhua despised Xiao Fang, and then stretched out a finger: "You take the right to adapt this number." He didn't intend to go too far, 100 million is not too expensive for the prosperous "Stewardess" You know how many book fans are eagerly looking forward to the film version and TV series version of "Stewardess" as soon as possible. It can be said that as soon as the news of the filming start is announced, a large number of book fans will spontaneously promote it on the Internet, and the publicity fee can save a lot.
100 million plus 110 for the copyright of the previous drama, and the third version of the adaptation rights sold for [-] million, Li Wenhua was worthy of [-].
"It's too expensive." Xiao Fang hesitated. Of course, he would not understand Li Wenhua's one finger as one hundred thousand, but one million was a bit beyond his ability to bear.He is going to invest about 100 million in this drama, which is slightly smaller than "Soldier Assault", which is considered a relatively large investment for an urban romantic drama, but Li Wenhua wants him 1000 million for the adaptation rights alone. We also need a screenwriter to write the script, we need to hire famous directors, we need big names, and we need to ensure that the production is excellent.
"Mr. Li, you have to think about it this way. Leaving aside how popular this book is on the Internet, the physical book alone has sold nearly 20 copies. This influence is no joke, and what I sold to you is a TV series. And the adaptation rights of the two editions of the movie, if the TV series becomes popular, you can also launch a movie project, and then you can earn another fortune, and you don’t need to pay an additional adaptation fee, this deal is definitely worth it.” Li Wenhua began to fudge with all his strength, if Xiao Fang is still unbearable, he can consider dropping another [-].
It turned out to be two editions of adaptation rights, which is not too expensive, Xiao Fang thought, but the company has no experience in making movies, and he is skeptical about the movie version of "Stewardess", "Do you think "Stewardess" is suitable for film adaptation?"
"I have such an idea," Li Wenhua leaned over and said, "You have read this novel, but it is actually an incomplete story. A large number of stewardess fans on the Internet are clamoring for Thirty to write a sequel every day, but he feels that he I can't write it for the time being, so I haven't started writing. So I was thinking, we can make the main part of the novel into a TV series, and then write a script, just write the follow-up story of Lu Fei and Ran Jing, make it into a movie, it will definitely be a hit .”
Xiao Fang's eyes lit up, and Li Wenhua's thoughts reminded him, yes, the ending of this novel will definitely not meet the requirements of TV audiences, and if it is filmed without beginning and end, it will definitely be scolded, it is better to write this story completely, You can also add a lot of plots out of thin air. TV dramas are sold by the number of episodes. The more episodes, the higher the price, but the cost will also increase accordingly, and the budget will have to be adjusted.
Because Xiao Fang knew that Li Wenhua had studied this novel deeply, so he revealed his thoughts to Li Wenhua and asked him to help the staff, "What do you think of my idea?"
Li Wenhua thought about it for a while: "If this is the case, there are two problems. First, it will be a bit troublesome to make a movie version in the future. You can only repeat the original story, and the appeal to the audience will be much lower, unless you change a new batch of movies. Second, where can I find an excellent screenwriter who can not only continue to write the following plot, but also make thousands of readers of "Stewardess" buy it, let alone buy it all, even if half of them are satisfied? It’s amazing, even the original author dare not say that he can continue to write a second part that satisfies the readers.”
Xiao Fang thought for a while, and replied one by one: "It's too early to think about the movie version. We should first consider how to satisfy the TV audience. I like the current structure of this novel very much. I don't want to change too much. Just write a happy reunion." The ending, so it is certain to complete this story. As for who will continue to write..." Xiao Fang hesitated for a moment, then looked at Li Wenhua.
"Hey, don't look at me like that, I can't write." Although Li Wenhua thought he was a bit talented, he had only written novels and essays, and he hadn't written any longer ones. For short stories, the most important thing is that he doesn't know how to write the script at all, and what is the difference between the script and the novel. I am afraid that He Mu is better than him in this regard.
Xiao Fang curled his lips: "When did I say I let you write it? I mean I let you and the original author participate in the creation of the script. Your role is to prevent the plot written by the screenwriter from deviating from the reader's expectations. Don't let him write it." Write a happy story and weep."
"Do you have a suitable candidate in mind?" Li Wenhua guessed.
"Well," Xiao Fang nodded, "My screenwriter friend used to be in the army, but now he is a professional screenwriter. His output is not high, but every one is a masterpiece."
"What has he written?"
"He has written a TV drama "I really want to fall in love" before, and he also wrote "Peacock" directed by Gu Changwei last year. Oh, by the way, "Aunt's Postmodern Life" directed by Xu Anhua has not yet been released. It is also his work." Xiao Fang said with some pride.
"Oh, Li Qiang." Li Wenhua actually knew this person, "I heard that he just wrote a new script for Gu Changwei. Does he still write TV dramas?"
Although Li Wenhua didn't watch many movies, but He Mu puts more emphasis on drama and commercial films, Li Wenhua prefers literary films. As a literary youth, there are not many people who haven't watched "Peacock" these days. Last year's This directorial debut by Gu Changwei not only won a Berlin Silver Bear, but also made Zhang Jingchu popular, as well as the late blooming screenwriter Li Qiang. It was after watching "Peacock" that Li Wenhua became interested in this screenwriter.
"Although he hasn't accepted a TV drama script in recent years, I gave him a copy of "Stewardess" a few days ago. His evaluation is very good, which shows that he still likes this novel very much. With his friendship, it shouldn't be difficult to persuade him to help, anyway, he is idle now." Xiao Fang said, and after speaking, he looked at Li Wenhua with admiration, even Li Qiang's name was known, he was indeed a man of culture.
Li Wenhua took a sip of tea and said, "If Li Qiang is the one who can guarantee the quality of the script, there should be no problem. The success of "I Really Want to Fall in Love" proves that he can handle urban stories about men and women, but I just hope he doesn't write them." It’s too profound, after all, this is a simple pure love story, and it doesn’t need to give too much social meaning.”
Xiao Fang nodded sympathetically: "That's why I let you and the author of the original work participate in the script creation. I have the same worries as you."
The two made one with tea instead of wine to celebrate that the two heroes had the same views. Li Wenhua felt that Xiao Fang was quite right-tempered, so he simply thanked others for their generosity. You can change it however you want, but you can't deduct us from the screenwriting fee."
"make a deal!"

Two days later, He Mu returned to Beijing from his hometown. He took a military car and his older brother He Zao drove the car. They arrived home almost at the same time, and then left home to return to Beijing at the same time, causing grandpa to jump around. Called "all unworthy descendants".
He Zao's destination is the National Defense University, where he will study for a period of time, after which he will be transferred from the front line and will be promoted and assigned.He Mu's destination is naturally Tiger Wolf Company. He has been bullied by some unscrupulous media for so long, and even his parents have suffered from it. It is time to fight back.
------
In the editorial department of "Nandu Entertainment Daily", Guo Siyuan, the current celebrity, was called into the office by the editor-in-chief Jiang Dajun, "This is an invitation from Tiger Wolf Company, they will hold a media meeting tomorrow night to clarify the recent false reports about He Mu. "
"Editor, what do you mean?"
"Of course I mean to let you go. You know He Mu better, and you will be responsible for all the news about him in the future."
"Yes." Guo Siyuan took the invitation and turned to leave.
"Wait," Jiang Dajun called to stop him, "Remember, we are a media with a conscience."
Guo Siyuan was a little confused, not knowing what the editor-in-chief meant, so he nodded obediently to show that he understood.
After Guo Siyuan went out, Jiang Dajun connected the personnel department: "When Guo Siyuan comes back, let him settle his salary and leave. Don't let him come to see me. I can't bear it."
