"Yes." Zhou Shu pushed up the frame of his glasses and said helplessly: "The wasp beat me to it."
"That's it!"
Li Qing was sitting at his desk, tapping his fingers on the table with a thoughtful look on his face.
A few weeks ago, when Li Qing was holding a book signing in the United States, he encountered a cosplay comic exhibition on the street. At that time, Li Qing noticed several Asian anime characters in the team. After all, this is indeed rare in Europe and the United States.
of.
He always felt it was strange, so he couldn't help but asked Doris, the editor-in-chief assistant of Hakchu Publishing House who was accompanying him.
From Doris, Li Qing learned about the comic strip "Boys Over Flowers" that is currently ranked number one in Japan's most popular comics list.
After Li Qing carefully understood the plot of "Boys Over Flowers", his heart moved and he immediately called Zhou Shu and asked the company to contact the Japanese comic book company to buy the film and television adaptation of "Boys Over Flowers".
Who would have thought that now the Hornets would take the lead.
This made Li Qing a little depressed.
After his understanding, he found that the comic plot of "Boys Over Flowers" was exactly the same as the popular Asian drama "Meteor Garden" in its previous life, except for a few mission plots.
And judging from the popularity of the "Boys Over Flowers" comic in Japan, the film and television adaptation project of this comic is probably something that various film and television production companies are competing for.
According to the information Hanhai has learned, the various game and film rights of "Boys Over Flowers" were purchased by local Japanese production companies as early as three months after the comic began to be serialized.
But this copyright is limited to the Japanese version.
Therefore, the Chinese version was already in a vacuum. However, when Zhou Shu sent people to discuss the matter, he was repeatedly pushed back. Then, a week later, Zhou Shu learned that the Chinese version of "Boys Over Flowers" had been purchased by Wasp Culture.
news.
"You are being targeted." Li Qing rubbed his chin.
"I think so. When I contacted the other party at that time, the other party clearly told me on the phone that the Chinese film and television rights of "Boys Over Flowers" were still in hand. Then for some reason, I was put off for a week before I called again.
By that time, the copyright had been bought by the Hornets.”
Zhou Shu frowned and said, "If this is really the case, we have to take precautions."
Li Qing nodded.
If every time the project he is interested in is leaked, the chance of being intercepted will definitely increase greatly, just like this time. Although there is no direct evidence to prove that the wasp is indeed responsible for this matter, but just based on his feeling, Li
Qing felt that the Hornets definitely sent people to pay attention to the developments on his side at all times.
After all, in the entertainment industry, Li Qing was once called the Midas Touch by the media.
As long as Li Qing is interested in a project, there is no one that is not a big hit.
At this time, Li Qing also quickly realized that once "Boys Over Flowers" is filmed by Wasp Culture, I am afraid that the influence of Wasp Culture will grow geometrically for a long time to come.
Li Qing still remembers the f4 storm that caused a whole Asia in his previous life.
So, what should we use to snipe this upcoming idol drama?
Li Qing felt a little helpless. Even "Huan Zhuge Ge", which had a huge output index in Japan and South Korea, was still not as far-reaching as this modern idol drama in terms of influence among young people.
"I don't think there is any need to stick to this TV series."
Zhou Shu said at this time: "Our main task now is to do a good job in the promotion of "Soldier Assault". The post-editing of "Soldier Assault" has been completed, and it is expected to be launched on the CCTV TV drama channel in early November, and the traffic of the TV drama channel
The low price is terrible. If there is no good publicity, "Soldier Assault" may drag down the confidence of our director team."
When Li Qing heard this, he smiled and said, "I'm not worried about that."
"Actually, I'm not too worried." Zhou Shu smiled slightly: "With the TV series starring you, Li Qing, and so many scenes, plus the participation of Bayi Studio, even if the ratings don't rise, there will still be a lot of success.
There is a high chance that it will be broadcast twice on the CCTV Comprehensive Channel. Just be careful. As long as this TV series becomes popular, then our Hanhai Media may receive scripts from screenwriters from all over the country.
, why worry about not having good scripts to choose from? In our huge country, can the works of these elite screenwriters not be as good as a Japanese comic?"
Li Qing shook his head: "It's not that they can't compare, it's that the cultural customs are different. Now the country is facing a historical and cultural transition period. "Boys Over Flowers" can be said to be the current fashion standard in Asia..."
Zhou Shu originally didn't pay much attention to "Boys Over Flowers" and felt that Li Qing's statement was a bit exaggerated. But when he heard what Li Qing said, he suddenly felt something bad. Could it be that this TV series might become a highlight in his career?
One regret?
So I couldn't help but ask more carefully: "Do you think..."Boys Over Flowers" produced by Wasp will become popular all over the country?"
"Not only is it popular all over the country..." Li Qing said helplessly.
The popularity of "Meteor Garden" in his previous life almost blinded Li Qing, and it remains one of the strange events that Li Qing could not understand in his childhood.
Back then, even the primary school students in each class selected their school beauties.
Countless young boys throughout the campus have begun to form f4 groups, hooking up and flirting with girls everywhere.
On middle school campuses, similar incidents also occurred. Every school, every grade, and even every class selected an F4 and dragged them one by one into lawlessness.
What is different is that in restaurants in surrounding schools, as soon as school is over at noon, any restaurant that plays "Meteor Garden" will be absolutely full.
People don't care whether the food tastes good or not, and what the environment is like. Even if they don't eat the food, they still want to watch an episode of "Meteor Garden".
Later, because of the various "star" fonts that were extended from "Meteor Garden", they also became popular and were hated by Chinese teachers in all classes.
School gangs are also ready to take action and sweep across major campuses.
At that time, when "Campus F4" chased girls, they would be followed by a bunch of boys, which was very popular. Under the influence of "Meteor Garden", girls just did this.
That is to say, starting from this drama, non-mainstream long hair began to become the ultimate proposition that Li Qing could not understand!
The most bizarre thing is that in the news reports at the time, the female president of the Philippines and even the wife of the Prime Minister of Japan publicly stated that they wanted to have dinner with members of F4...
However, because the three views in "Meteor Garden" were not in line with the social values of the time, it was banned from broadcast by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. If not for this, the influence of "Meteor Garden" would definitely reach the point of being sold out.
In fact, in places such as Japan, Korea, and Thailand, the Taiwanese version of "Boys Over Flowers" at that time was indeed enthusiastically sought after. The costume standards in the play also led the trend of the times. Bell-bottom pants and suspenders were all the rage.
If Wasp really shoots "Meteor Garden", it will be really difficult for Li Qing to deal with the "super team" created by the current situation.
