In the beginning, I just wanted to make money

"Aren't you very good at writing these? The combination of court and rivers and lakes in "The Best in the World" is very good!"

"But I wrote it entirely by myself...the plot framework is also mine..."

"Didn't Mr. Ma say you can adapt it?"

The world view of "The Two Prides" is unified, and adding the court drama abruptly will appear to be fragmented...

Shen Xudong was not sure, so it would be better to make a phone call and talk to Ma Zhongjun...

Ma Zhongjun is also a screenwriter and should understand Shen Xudong's dilemma!

Call immediately. Shen Xudong directly dialed Ma Zhongjun’s number...

Ma Zhongjun is in Hong Kong...

He has been very close to Wang Jing recently!

I would like to thank Zhang Jizhong.

Lao Zhang was interviewed some time ago and boasted, "Our version of "Dragon Movie" is absolutely Jin Yong's original flavor!" The 1997 version is only a little better looking, the lead actor is not strong enough, and the appearance is ugly. It is far from the original!’

Then Wang Jing didn't know what was wrong, so he jumped out and retorted, "Who can't shoot according to the original work?" Give me money and I can take pictures of the original flavor! ’

Well, actually there is nothing wrong with him. Wang Jing has been thinking about going north to film in the past few years.

The movie is not good...

Then make a TV series first!

In fact, he has done "Xiaobao and Kangxi" before - the cool breeze has faith, the autumn moon is boundless, and I feel like a child, as if the days are like years...

"Xiaobao and Kangxi" was very powerful. It defeated "Xun Qin Ji" and won the ratings championship that year!

It has also been introduced into the mainland.

It was probably that time that made Wang Jing think about going north to do drama first!

In the original time and space, Wang Jing came to the mainland and brought with him the trilogy "Little Fish and Flowers", "The Best in the World" and "The Eight Heroes"!

Among them, "Little Fish and Flowers" is a collaboration with Ciwen Media. Ciwen lost a sum of money due to an incident of beatings by the crew.

Not only that, this drama has not yet been able to premiere on the stars. Although it eventually sold well, the revenue was only average!

Then, "The Best in the World" changed partners...

This is something to be said later, so I won’t say it…

After receiving a call from Shen Xudong, Ma Zhongjun felt a little strange, because Wang Jing also told him that he wanted to join the Chaotang line, and also wanted to turn Jiang Yulang into a girl!

Is this... a coincidence?

But Wang Jing was very surprised and said he wanted to meet Shen Xudong...

So Ma Zhongjun asked Shen Xudong to stop writing the script of "The Two Proud Heroes" first. The original words were, 'Our director wants to meet and discuss with you, please bring me the script outline'...

…

"That's it…"

Shen Xudong went to Qin Wen and told her about this.

"Who did Mr. Ma find to be the director?"

"have no idea…"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "Whoever he is, we will find out when we meet next week!"

"Um…"

Speaking of this, Qin Wen suddenly asked out of curiosity: "I heard that Deng Jianguo is going to spend millions to win the adaptation rights of "The Best in the World". Is it true?"

"What?"

"What the media reported...Deng Jianguo also admitted it!"

Spend millions?

What a joke, Zhang Jizhong adapted Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the market price is only 800,000...

How virtuous and capable is Shen Xudong?

Just think with your toes and you will know it is hype!

Shen Xudong glanced sideways at Qin Wen: "What do you think?"

"...I don't think it's possible, but the media is reporting on it... and Teng Zhan also wants to start filming?"

"...It's just hype!"

Teng Zhan is the general manager of Jin Yingma Film and Television. He is responsible for the development and production of a series of works by Jin Yingma, including the masterpieces "Black Hole", "Winter Solstice", and the sequel to "Mansion Gate"...

In the past two years, I have made "The Storm" and "The Drunken Man" and made a lot of money!

There has really been a boom in martial arts dramas in recent years...

Qin Wen was confused: "Hype..."

"My publisher hypes...the more media coverage, the higher the sales of "The World's No. 1", and the more he can earn..."

"Then why didn't you stop it?"

Shen Xudong was surprised: "Why should I stop it? The more books I sell, the more I earn!"

Qin Wen couldn't help but say: "...No wonder they all said you fell into the eyes of money!"

"It's better to lose money than to lose it somewhere else... Okay, I'll go back to my seat first..."

Shen Xudong turned around to leave, and then saw Shen Haobo waving to him...

…

In the small restaurant in front of the school, Shen Xudong and Shen Haobo were sitting across from each other...

Shen Haobo skillfully ordered ‘Large Plate of Chicken, All-in-One with Flowers and Hair, and Three Fresh Grounds’…

This is a regular customer!

Shen Haobo smiled and said: "We used to occasionally have a meal at the school gate..."

"The cafeteria of the Normal University is also not delicious?"

“There’s nothing good to eat in the cafeteria!”

"Yes!" Shen Xudong nodded and changed the subject: "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to give you money and sign a publishing agreement for "Zhu Xian"..."

"..."Zhu Xian" has only been serialized for one issue!"

"It's okay, I'm definitely a little slower than the serial..."

People came to look for him, what else could Shen Xudong say?

"You can just discuss it with the people from "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times"..."

"...I have already told them...they also agree to this plan..." As he spoke, Shen Haobo raised his watch and looked at it...

Shen Xudong was a little curious about his behavior: "What's wrong? Famous watch?"

"...What kind of watch..." Shen Haobo explained: "I made an appointment with someone to come see you, but she hasn't come yet..."

"Who is it?"

Shen Haobo looked at Shen Xudong, and then said: "Jiang Xuerou..."

"...Jiang...Jiang Xuerou? She wants to see me? Because of "The Best in the World"?"

Shen Xudong's face was full of surprise.

"Well, anyway, that's what she told me!"

Shen Xudong was anxious: "...Then why didn't you tell me earlier? Let's find another place. This shabby restaurant is so outrageous!"

"...Why are you so anxious? I really admire you! She is the one who wants to buy your adaptation rights, you are not the one who wants to rush to sell, we have to wait for the price, do you understand?"

Shen Haobo was speechless: "Let's talk about the conditions before she arrives!"

"condition?"

"Price, power, etc... Do you want to invest yourself? Do you want to become a co-producer..."

Shen Xudong couldn't help but ask: "...Are you so sure?"

"No…"

"Then you said it so lightly?"

Shen Haobo had enough time to answer: "Negotiation means asking for a price and paying back the money. Of course the conditions can be improved!"

Shen Xudong thought for a while, and then said: "...price...how much can it be sold for at the market price?"

"About 200,000..."

"Then 200,000...by the way, I'll be the chief screenwriter!"

"That's necessary. Are you the screenwriter yourself, or the author of the original work? If you don't be the chief screenwriter, who will be? What else?"

"…besides?"

"Don't you want to learn to be a producer? Let her arrange for you to be a production assistant... By the way, you also have the right to make casting suggestions!"

Shen Xudong backed down: "No need, right? I'm just a novice...Zhouyi has a lot of talented people...and has its own production team..."

“So what if they cast a character that you absolutely hate?”

"…Okay then, help me fight for it…"

"Okay, the bottom line is..."

Shen Haobo wrote them down one by one, looked at the time, and simply took out his mobile phone and dialed...

"Yes, Cotton Alley..."

"I saw you, I was the one waving, right!"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Haobo motioned with his eyes to Shen Xudong to follow him. The latter stood up and the two of them greeted...
