Chapter 770: Misappropriation of Memories and Killing
"The Beijing Television Arts Center wants the copyright to "The Legend of Zhen Huan"?"
When He Xin heard this so-called good news, he was stunned and said: "What kind of good news is this?"
Xiao Douding hurriedly said: "No, the people at the Beijing Television Art Center seem to be very eager. We don't sell the copyright, but we can cooperate!"
"They agreed to cooperate?"
"That's not true. The person who came here just wanted to talk about an acquisition. I rejected him flatly, but he also revealed that their director was interested in the novel and wanted to adapt it into a TV series."
"You mean Zheng Xiaolong?"
"That's right!" Xiao Douding nodded fiercely.
Of course He Xin knows Zheng Xiaolong. Speaking of this man, he is the director of the Beijing Television Art Center and a big boss in the Beijing circle. Feng Pengtong, who is now the most influential figure in the industry, and Zhao Baogang, the big steel man, all came from his disciples.
He has a good relationship with Jiang Wenli and Hu Jun. Because of this relationship, He Xin and he have met several times on different occasions, but they can only be said to be acquaintances, not much of a friendship.
Perhaps it was for this reason that he sent someone to the company to discuss the copyright acquisition in a formal manner, instead of making a direct phone call to himself.
He Xin had a good impression of this man. Even though he was a big man in the Beijing circle, compared to Feng Pants and the big gangster's swagger, this man had always been very low-key and didn't seem to have much ambition. He only focused on his own three acres.
Of course, this is also related to his status within the system.
Being low-key and having no ambition does not mean being incompetent. This man is still one of the best in the field of domestic TV dramas. His works range from "Desire" and "Beijing in New York" in his early years to the popular "Golden Wedding" and "Golden Wedding" in the past two years.
"Golden Wedding and Stormy Love" are all phenomenal works.
Later, he also directed a TV series "Emergency Room Doctor" that He Xin particularly liked. This was also a TV series that He Xin rarely had an impression of the director in his previous life.
Speaking of which, He Xin's biggest omission in his memories of film and television dramas in his previous life may be that he only remembers the actors and ignores the names of the directors and screenwriters behind the scenes.
For example, if you think of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", all he can think of are Sun Li, Barbecued Pork Fen, Uncle Shaobing, Huan Bi, and Doctor Wen. But if you want to ask the screenwriter, who is the director? Then I'm sorry, he watched the show in his previous life
I wouldn’t pay attention to this at all when I was watching TV dramas online. Besides, when watching dramas online, you usually skip the opening and closing credits. Who would have time to care about the screenwriter and director?
And now, as the boss of a film and television company, he needs exactly this kind of information, which is particularly critical.
However, after "Latent", he already has some experience, and those who come to him are usually the creators of the original works. The later TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was so well-produced, I guess he is definitely not an unknown person, but a master in the field of TV series.
Zheng Xiaolong fits this perfectly.
"Then what did you tell the person who came?" He Xin asked after thinking of this.
"Didn't I just say that there is no possibility of acquisition, but cooperation is possible." Xiao Douding said with a smile.
"Smart!" He Xin raised his thumbs and praised with a smile.
After so many years, his cooperation with Xiao Douding has become more and more tacit. The most important thing is that Xiao Douding has unconditional trust in his vision.
Xiao Douding added: "Boss, if "The Legend of the Harem" is really going to be adapted into a TV series, the investment will definitely be quite large. I guess even if the Beijing Television Art Center acquires the copyright and plans to film it itself, I'm afraid it will have to find a partner.
How can we talk about it then?"
"Of course, the larger the investment share, the better. We must be in control of the project and hold the copyright. As for the creation, if it is really Director Zheng who personally takes charge, then we do not need to interfere too much." He
Xin muttered.
In my memory, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" seems to have had more than 70 or 80 episodes, and the costumes, props, and scenery in the play are very exquisite. In addition, there are many actors, so the investment must be indispensable. Refer to the current one
The investment for an ordinary thirty-episode TV series is easily 20 to 30 million, while the investment for a costume drama like "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is at least 60 to 70 million.
Fortunately, the company is not short of money now. It has invested in many movies and TV series in the past two years. Now it is the harvest season. Not to mention "The Wind", "The Piano" made the company a lot of money, and "Before Dawn"
》Four-star broadcast, it immediately earned 50 million yuan.
What the company lacks now is not money, but good directors and screenwriters. He asked He Lirong to acquire the copyrights of so many online novels last time. At present, only "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has just been developed, and the others have not been settled yet.
.
"Oh, by the way, what has Haozi been busy with recently? Why did he even turn off his mobile phone?" He Xin happened to ask Ning Hao again.
Not long ago, he was busy with the promotional road show of "The Piano of Steel" and he didn't have time. In the past two days, he didn't see Ning Hao in the company. When I called him, his cell phone was turned off.
"well!"
Speaking of Ning Hao, Xiao Douding couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said, "I'm so excited. I've been writing scripts in seclusion at home during this time."
"Is this guy writing a script?" He Xin's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked hurriedly: "What script?"
It may be that after winning the Berlin Best Actor, his creative desire was suddenly aroused. Although he still has a movie "I Do" on hand, but what can I say about this drama? The character Yang Nianhua in it is not a challenge to him at all.
, and this drama is purely for making money.
He would rather challenge some roles that he has never tried before, such as comedy.
"I heard from Sister Na that it seems to be about the Republic of China." Xiao Douding said not sure.
"Republic of China theme?"
He Xin looked suspicious, and the sparks that had just been ignited in his eyes gradually dimmed.
Without him, there would be no impression.
His memory of Ning Hao is probably a fragment from the crazy series "Stone", "Racing", "Alien", "Blissful" and "My Motherland and Me".
But to be honest, in "My Motherland and Me", the scene between him and Uncle Ge was not the most exciting. It felt like both parties were a little confused. What really moved people was "The Night Before" and "Encounter". Looking back now
, the former is well directed, and the latter is entirely a reflection of Zhang Yi’s personal acting skills.
Xiao Douding didn't notice anything strange about him, and continued to say: "I heard from Sister Na that "No Man's Land" was killed this time, which was a big blow to him. Although this guy is usually heartless, he actually has a lot of thoughts.
Very... Oh, by the way, boss, there is something I was planning to discuss with you?"
"Ah? Oh, you say."
Just now, He Xin was still thinking about the impact of "No Man's Land" on Ning Hao, and was wondering whether to invite him out to enlighten him. Suddenly Xiao Douding changed the topic, and he couldn't keep up with the other party's out-of-the-box thinking.
"Have you heard that director Zhang Baibai is preparing to remake "Jiang Ai"?"
"What is "Will Love"?"
"It's "Carry Love to the End," Director Zhang's first TV series, and it's about to be remade into a movie. The project has already been approved, and Galloping Horse is investing in it. Sister Na and Xiaojun are helping to write the script."
"oh."
He had some impressions of the movie version of "Will Love". The plot was already very vague, but the theme song in it, the classic "Because of Love" by the princess, was still catchy.
"Then what do you mean?"
Xiao Douding blinked his eyes and said: "How popular "Will Love" was back then. If it was put on the big screen, it would definitely do well at the box office. Unfortunately, Sister Na and I got the news too late. When Director Zhang came to visit,
The projects have all been confirmed. But now we also have a ready-made project on hand, and we can completely remake the movie..."
Only then did He Xin react and blurted out: "You want to remake "Wulin Gaiden"?"
"bingo!"
Xiao Douding looked excited and said: "Actually, the God of Wealth talked to me about this matter last year. However, our company had many projects and the funds on hand were tight at the time, so I didn't talk about it, but now the time is ripe. The original team will join, and it's guaranteed.
Can harvest a wave of memories to kill!"
"Well……"
He Xin hesitated for a moment. If the movie version of "Will Love" left an impression on him with the classic song "Because of Love," then the movie version of "Wulin Gaiden" was a naked money-making work.
But, the purpose of collecting money is to make money, and the company is so big now. Since you want to make money, you must not be aloof.
Although he shook his head in his heart, he still said honestly: "Since you think the time is ripe and you can harvest a wave of memory kills, then do it!"
When Xiao Douding heard this, he immediately said happily: "Okay! I will talk to the God of Wealth about this in a while. That guy came to me last year to talk about the remake. Maybe he already has the script in mind."
With that said, he started to calculate again: "The director can still find Director Shang, Shopkeeper Tong, Guo Furong, Bai Zhantang, Xiucai, Xiaoliu, Wushuang... Well, boss, Wushuang may be a little difficult to deal with!"
Wushuang, Tangtang?
The incident has been going on for so long, and He Xin must still have a shadow in his heart, but the resentment has long since dissipated. In any case, this girl has finally had her hard work, and she has finally been released from the ban. Her starring role in "Moon Hennessy" will be released in the mainland early next month
.
"It's okay. You can ask Cheng Hao to say hello to her later. I don't know whether she will come or not. After all, she is a big star now!"
Cheng Hao has kept in touch with her in the past few years. But even though He Xin said this, he was still mumbling in his heart. This can be regarded as a reconciliation signal he sent to Tang Wei!
