Chapter 221 Small talk

Chapter 221 Chatting about a few things

In the early morning, the sun shines in through the east window, and is filtered into a light yellow color by the hollow fine-hole grid screen, and shines on the right side of Liu Yifei's face.

She squinted her eyes slightly and lay on the pillow, enjoying the comfort on her waist that was sometimes strong and sometimes weak.

During these three days, Liu Xiaoli massaged her daughter every day in the hope that her daughter's body would recover quickly.

"Mom, it doesn't hurt anymore." Liu Yifei felt the comfort in her body and told her mother the feeling.

After hanging the wire once and resting for three days, she realized the power of the wire. When she woke up that day, her whole body was sore and it was difficult to get out of bed.

Fortunately, her boyfriend is accompanying her and comes to her room every day to play or tell jokes with her, so that she is no longer bored.

I have almost recovered today. The doctor just came to check and passed the test. I can finally film again in the afternoon.

She really wanted to speed up the filming process. She, the little dragon girl, had not yet officially acted with Chu Xuan's Yang Guo.

She was looking forward to it with great anticipation, hoping that the scene would come soon.

"Press again." Liu Xiaoli said softly. She was not tired even after pressing it for half an hour.

"You ask Brother Xuan to press it for me." Liu Yifei suggested. After her mother pressed it for so long, she knew that her mother must be tired.

"Brother Xuan is downstairs talking to your sister Hua." Liu Xiaoli smiled lightly and continued to massage her daughter's back with meticulous care.

"Sister Hua is here?!" Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, a little surprised by her mother's words.

"Well, I just came here not long ago." Liu Xiaoli nodded.

--Small courtyard.

There are wooden chairs on each side of the wooden table, where Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua sit leisurely.

There was a purple clay pot on the table, with a small purple clay cup on each side. The two of them felt very comfortable.

"You guys are living so comfortably here. I'm so exhausted in the company alone." Wang Jinhua admired the small building in front of her. The cool April wind blew by, making her look happy and feel comfortable.

The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth curled up slightly, and he picked up the purple clay pot and poured a cup of tea into two small cups one after the other.

Sister Hua has been busy in the company for nearly half a year. Most days she goes home early in the morning and has been busy with the company.

Since her contract with Huayi expired last month, endorsements and announcements have resumed, and the resources exchanged from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" have been put in place, Hu Jun, Li Chong and others have also begun to get busy.

The company is up and running.

The filming location of "The Condor" is in a scenic spot, so Sister Hua also took the time to travel to relax and unwind to relieve her busy state.

"Come to the studio with us in the afternoon and let Tian Zhen take you around. The scenery here is nice. The weather is neither hot nor cold now, so it's suitable for walking around." Chu Xuan put down the purple clay pot.

The corners of Wang Jinhua's eyes raised slightly, she picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and said: "The purpose of coming here to relax is, but there is still something I need to discuss with you."

Chu Xuan slowly took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup on the bamboo table, put his left hand on the armrest of the chair, turned to Wang Jinhua, and listened to what was going on.

"Last month, I invited two teachers from the Chinese Writers Association and two publishing editor teachers from Xinhua Publishing House, plus seven of my team members, to go to the United States." Wang Jinhua and Chu Xuan looked at each other.

Before coming to the set of "The Condor", Chu Xuan gave her two novels, which she always kept in mind.

After allocating the company's resources, she immediately formed a temporary team and set off to the United States to find out the news.

Leveraging China Film Group's connections in Hollywood, her team quickly made contact with the publishers and authors of the two novels.

"How is it?" Chu Xuan became interested.

""Twilight" was only published in January this year. It is a new book, and its sales are now negligible and will not be discovered by film and television companies. Our people have come into contact with the original author, although they feel strange that we are Chinese.

, but it does not exclude our intention to purchase the film and television adaptation rights of this novel." Wang Jinhua said truthfully, telling Chu Xuan one by one the news from the company team.

"That's a good thing." Chu Xuan said with a smile in his eyes.

Seeing Chu Xuan looking slightly happy, Wang Jinhua shook his head.

"I roughly read this book. There are too many elements including youth, campus, love, magic, race, and action. The adaptation is too difficult. Whether the adaptation can be successful is one thing. Whether the adaptation can be successful is

Fire is another matter," she analyzed.

"Sister, trust my vision." Chu Xuan didn't say much.

"If I don't believe you, I will ask the team to investigate?" Wang Jinhua smiled and drank the teacup in one gulp before putting it down.

Chu Xuan raised his lips slightly, picked up the purple clay pot and filled Wang Jinhua's tea cup. A little water gradually came out, fluttering on the table and flowing into the cracks of the bamboo.

"The novel "The Twilight Saga" has received some resistance in Europe. For some reasons, they believe that the book should not be published and require it to be removed from the shelves. Although the source of publication of this book is in the United States, the original author is also under great pressure.

"Da. The original author recommended this book to American entertainment companies, but they were all rejected." Wang Jinhua talked eloquently about the news brought by the team.

Chu Xuan nodded, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"If we want to buy the film and television adaptation rights, it will not be difficult. Within US$500,000, we should be able to obtain global rights. But this author also has a sequel to "Twilight". If we want to obtain this novel,

Then we have to win them all, so we still need to discuss the priority purchase of the adaptation rights in the future." Wang Jinhua knows this kind of thing very well.

The sequel of a TV series can continue to trigger a wave of popularity, let alone a movie.

If the first episode of a movie is a hit, there is a high chance that the second episode will be a hit too.

Therefore, if you want to buy the film and television adaptation rights of novels, you either don't buy them, or you buy the whole set to avoid being stuck by other companies.

"What's going on with "Game of Thrones"?" Chu Xuan already knows about the situation with "The Twilight Saga" and is quite satisfied with it. What Sister Hua said is not difficult, which means that Sister Hua has bought the "Twilight Saga" movie.

Since he didn’t have the confidence and plan to adapt the novel, he didn’t need to worry too much, so he asked about the status of the other novel.

""Game of Thrones" is a bit difficult. This novel was published in 1996, nearly ten years ago, and its sales are in the mid-level range globally. The most important thing is that an American company has bought the option for a film and television adaptation.

"Wang Jinhua said softly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

"I only bought the option, which means that this company is not sure about turning this novel into a perfect film and television." Chu Xuan said thoughtfully.

An option is a limited-time copyright, such as a one-year option, which only has a one-year adaptation period and is invalid upon expiration.

The company that purchased the option copyright either lacked funds or had doubts about the novel and was unsure of its profitability after being turned into a film.

If you have enough funds and you are sure that the novel can be profitable, you will basically purchase the permanent film and television adaptation rights.

"This is natural. The novel "Game of Thrones" requires the use of a lot of special effects. The world's top special effects technology may not be able to meet the requirements. Even if it can be achieved, the cost will be very high. Based on the current global film and television market

It seems that whoever adapts this film and television drama will lose, but when the technology develops in the future, it may be a different matter." Wang Jinhua has a relatively thorough understanding of the global film and television market, and her analysis is penetrating.

Chu Xuan was silent for a moment, then he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, thinking a little.

"It would be great if we can win "The Twilight Saga", but forget it if we can't win "Game of Thrones". When the company frees up its hands in the future, we can invite some scholars from Peking University and Tsinghua University and top domestic screenwriters to jointly create a series with a grand background and group portraits."

The script is three-dimensional, has a clear and complex story line, and is no worse than Game of Thrones." He said lightly.

"It's not necessarily impossible to take it." Wang Jinhua lowered her eyebrows and said.

Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows and was startled, then turned to look at her.

"George Martin, the author of Game of Thrones, does not want the adaptation of his work to be completely commercial. He hopes to retain the artistry. Regarding this, we can talk to him. This is the first point." Wang Jinhua raised his eyebrows.

a finger.

"Second point, if we want to adapt this novel, I estimate that it will take at least ten years, when special effects technology has developed, and when the global market has developed. Then, we can spend money, it depends on which American company is willing to

Money, if you are willing to bet that "Game of Thrones" will be popular in ten years." Wang Jinhua used her understanding of the market to predict the future.

"But you have to give me more confidence. Are you really optimistic about the novel "Game of Thrones"?" Wang Jinhua and Chu Xuan looked at each other.

"It's like betting on me that "Supergirl" will be a hit. It all depends on your sixth sense." Chu Xuan smiled.

Hearing this, Wang Jinhua lowered her eyebrows and thought, and subconsciously tapped the bamboo slices on the table with her right index finger.

"Okay, I understand." She thought for a long time, and finally raised the corner of her mouth slightly.

"Sister Hua!" A voice suddenly came from the room, and Liu Yifei walked out of the room. Her steps were neither hasty nor slow. It seemed that her body had not fully recovered, and she was still a little sore.

"Qian Qian." Wang Jinhua stood up to greet her and hugged Liu Yifei, "Are you injured? Are you okay?"

"It's almost better." Liu Yifei and Wang Jinhua separated.

"Your boyfriend is not good enough. He has made you hurt, so you should be criticized." Wang Jinhua said jokingly.

Liu Yifei looked at Chu Xuan through the gap above Wang Jinhua's left shoulder. She smoothed her hair and said, "It has nothing to do with him. It's my own fault."

Wang Jinhua "tsk-tsk" twice, with a hint of joking.

Liu Yifei pursed her lips and smiled, took the black jacket from her mother and put it on.

"Going to the studio to have fun?" Liu Xiaoli looked at Wang Jinhua.

"Let's go have some fun." Wang Jinhua said with a smile.

Chu Xuan stood up from the chair with a blue denim jacket hanging on his shoulders. After meeting Liu Yifei, he looked at her a few times.

"What's your look?" Liu Yifei blinked and stretched out her left index finger to poke Chu Xuan's arm.

"Let's see if you're okay." Chu Xuan said warmly.

Liu Yifei put her left hand on Chu Xuan's right shoulder and said as she walked: "What if it doesn't get better?"

Chu Xuan's left thumb pointed over his left shoulder towards the small building behind him: "Go back here."

Liu Yifei arched her eyebrows and walked out of the courtyard with Chu Xuan.

Everyone got in the car and headed towards the Yandang Mountain studio.

The next two updates require major plot changes, so they will be released in the afternoon, sorry for that.
