No matter what, the price that had been negotiated in advance could no longer be changed. In the end, Ding Qiang pretended to be confident and offered a copyright price of seven million.
Liao Yuan was noncommittal and asked: "Director Fu, can you talk about your creative ideas?"
"sure!"
Fu Yuntao was refreshed: "I have studied the script of "The Ancient City" more than ten times recently. The plot of the story will basically not deviate from the original work. I will try my best to restore it 100%..."
While talking, he took out the blueprint of the script and gave it to Liao Yuan.
The blueprint showed all the plot routes, which seemed a bit chaotic, but Liao Yuan looked carefully and could still see the outline of the plot:
Hu Bayi went to the mountains and countryside and came to Ganggangyingzi on the border between China and Mongolia. He brought the only book left at home - "The Secret Technique of Yin and Yang Feng Shui in Sixteen Characters" and memorized the words in the book by heart in his spare time.
.
After joining the army and going to XC, he encountered an avalanche and fell into a huge ditch. Hu Bayi used the secret techniques of tombs he knew to escape.
After demobilization, Hu Bayi and his friend Fatty Wang joined an archaeological team heading to XJ for archaeology.
The group went through many dangers and arrived at the ruins of the ancient city Jingjue in the Taklimakan Desert, and entered the underground "ghost cave".
There are many mechanisms and traps in the cave. This mysterious ghost cave seems to be under the control of a prophet...
The story is still the same, it mainly depends on whether the photographer can completely restore the horror, bizarreness and suspense in the story.
Fu Yuntao elaborated: "This drama involves a lot of special effects. I plan to invite the world's top special effects teams to cooperate. In addition, I will also carefully select actors. Of course, Mr. Liao can also provide
Decisive reference opinion, as we said on the phone before, if you want to supervise the entire shooting process, you are welcome to come. If everything goes well, I will start shooting as soon as possible after 101 is over.
It is expected to be completed successfully within three months."
Seeing Fu Yuntao talking eloquently, Liao Yuan suddenly remembered the script of "The Ancient City" that he had missed in his previous life.
At that time, he was a senior online novel fan, and his initial popularity was related to an online novel.
Therefore, he has great interest in the two popular tomb-robbery shooting projects "Tomb Raiders Notes" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
But the former's script was snatched away by some young talents.
The latter's script was rejected because the image did not quite meet the original author's requirements. Liao Yuan was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
After all, he is still a Golden Horse Award winner and a top popular actor in the industry. If he uses his connections to steal the script of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", naturally no one will dare to say anything.
But he has always been conceited. Since the original author Tian Xia Ba Chan said that he is not suitable, he will naturally not love more.
But in this life, "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" written by himself has appeared.
If he hadn't given up on the entertainment industry, Liao Yuan would have really wanted to try the role of Hu Bayi.
Because when he realized "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", his writing style had intentionally or unintentionally replaced the image of Hu Bayi with himself. The appearance, figure, etc. described in the script were also very similar to Liao Yuan himself.
"Mr. Liao, Mr. Liao?"
Seeing that Liao Yuan was distracted, Ding Qiang couldn't help but remind him: "Are you satisfied with the price?"
"Seven million?"
Liao Yuan came back to his senses, thought for a moment, and said: "The price is good, but..."
but?
Fu Yuntao's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Liao Yuan eagerly and said with a smile, "If you have any requests, you can make them and we can discuss them."
Liao Yuan looked at Fu Yuntao, remembered Youxun.com's "Remembrance" MV video, shook his head and said: "Forget it, just seven million!"
As he spoke, he carefully looked at the contents of the contract.
Hearing this, Fu Yuntao breathed a sigh of relief, signed the contract with a smile, and then said: "Don't worry, Mr. Liao, I will not let your hard work go to waste."
Liao Yuan hummed and continued to read the contract.
After a moment, he suddenly remembered something, raised his head and said, "I have a request... Of course, it's okay if Director Fu refuses."
Fu Yuntao said quickly: "Where it is, it doesn't matter if you tell me."
Liao Yuan smiled and said: "Can I give my roommate a place in this drama?"
"Liao Meiqi?"
Fu Yuntao was a little troubled: "I actually thought about Shanzhi, but in your script, Shirley Yang is a Chinese who has returned to China, and is relatively mature and steady, which does not match the image of my sister."
Liao Yuan understood: "Forget it, the female lead. After all, my roommate is a newcomer and her acting skills need to be developed, so it is difficult to choose such a big role. However, I think the role of Yanzi is quite suitable. What do you think, Director Fu?"
"Swallow?" Fu Yuntao's eyes lit up and he exclaimed: "Mr. Liao, what a great idea! Swallow is indeed very suitable for Brother Shanzhi!"
Liao Yuan smiled slightly: "Thank you so much, Director Fu."
Subsequently, the two parties signed a contract, and the copyright fee of 7 million will be subsequently allocated to Liao Yuan's name through the financial account of Fu Yuntao's production company, and the royalties will be paid by Party B's company after agreement.
Waiting for everything to be settled, Fu Yuntao diligently introduced the names and flavors of the farmhouse dishes to Liao Yuan, and asked with a smile: "Apart from "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", what has Mr. Liao been busy with recently? He is also writing other novels.
?”
"Not yet."
Liao Yuan shook his head and said: "I have been thinking about some online live broadcasts recently. Director Fu, how can a host increase the number of viewers during the live broadcast without showing up, speaking out, or interacting?
What about growth?”
"Webcast?"
Fu Yuntao said in surprise: "Mr. Liao is just out of curiosity and wants to have some fun? Or does he want to concentrate on this industry?"
As soon as he said these words, Fu Yuntao burst into laughter. How could a well-known writer like the online live broadcast industry? It was probably just for fun.
"Actually, I know something about live broadcasts. Popular artists occasionally collaborate with advertisers and do live broadcasts, but they don't do them often."
"This industry, like the entertainment industry, is a mixed bag of good and bad, and the quality of the audience varies. If you continue to work for a long time, although the income statement will look good, you will inevitably encounter difficulties from some cynical people, and all kinds of dirty words will be difficult to tolerate."
"So unless it is forced by life, generally speaking, writers and artists rarely do online live broadcasts. The most immersive thing about online live broadcasts is interactivity. Interaction can make the audience feel satisfied. If during the live broadcast,
No appearance, no sound, no interaction, I think it will greatly reduce the audience's desire to watch, unless the live broadcast content is very curious, such as haunted house adventures, wilderness survival, etc."
He thought of something, lowered his head and took out a business card from his bag, and said: "Since Mr. Liao is interested in this industry, it just so happens that my sister has achieved a little success in this industry. She has been crazy since she was a child. What a wonderful world."
I don’t want to work in a Fortune 500 company, but I prefer to do live broadcasts, or outdoor live broadcasts, which are exposed to wind and rain, and I often say frankly that I yearn for freedom..."
