After the door to the room was closed, Wu Feng said to Su Yang, "Brother Su, we can just talk about your words in private. Don't say that outside. The entertainment industry is very complicated. If you are worried about or deliberately misunderstood by villains, you will be fine."
Trouble."
Su Yang knew that Wu Feng was also doing his best, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, Brother Ang. I'm just saying this because Mr. Mu is an honest person. If it were someone else, I definitely wouldn't say that my company's special effects production team is the first
These words."
Wu Feng nodded, relieved.
For his brother Su, Wu Feng is really a bit unclear. He seems to have a background, but also seems to have no background. He seems to know everything and can do anything, but there are always some strange behaviors.
So he gradually thought about it, just making friends, you don't need to care so much, just get along. If you think too much, it will become too purposeful, and you will no longer be a friend.
So now he is becoming more and more relaxed and familiar with Su Yang. If he feels that Su Yang has done something wrong, he will also remind him.
Of course, let me remind you that he is doing it for Su Yang's benefit, and whether he listens or not is Su Yang's business.
Everyone is an adult, will be responsible for their own actions, and has the right to choose their own life.
After chatting for a while, Su Yang quietly opened the system and checked Murray's favorability score.
[Favorability (Friendship): 44/100 (familiarity, rapport at first sight*)]
The favorability level unexpectedly increased to 44 points. Su Yang was a little surprised.
And the status has also changed, from [acquaintance] to [acquaintance] and [hit it off at first sight].
But why are there two statuses? And there is an asterisk on the second status of [Fate at First Sight]?
With this in mind, Su Yang clicked on the help system, moved to this status, and took a look.
The result really jumped out from the explanation of this state.
[Fate at first sight: a special status. It means that two people have similar interests and three views when they get along, and it is easier to increase their favorability. 】
Su Yang understood. No wonder his favorability level increased just by saying something. It turned out to be the influence of this buff.
Su Yang thought about it and felt that it was understandable.
Sometimes, no matter how much we communicate, some people feel like they can't get on with the conversation. But some people feel very close to each other when they meet, and there is a feeling that it's too late to meet them.
It is indeed particularly easy to develop a favorable impression of the latter.
After understanding this status, the system jumped out of an interface again.
Su Yang took a look and found that it was an introduction to the favorability system.
[Friendship rating: Friendship evaluation is divided into seven levels. From low to high they are: passerby, stranger, acquaintance, acquaintance, friend, confidant, true brother. 】
[Passenger]'s favorability is 0-10.
[Stranger]'s favorability is 10-20
[Know]’s favorability is 20-30
[Familiarity]’s favorability is 30-50
[Friend]’s favorability is 50-80
[Confidant]’s favorability is 80-90
[True Brothers]’s favorability is 90-100
Su Yang took a rough look and found that this kind of score judgment was in the shape of a "spindle". At the beginning, the favorability needed was the least, and the relationship could be improved by almost increasing the favorability.
In the middle, both [acquaintance] and [friend] have increased their span, with the span of acquaintance at 20 points of favorability. The span of [friend]'s favorability is even greater, at 30 points.
This may be because in the real world, [acquaintance] and [friend] are the two most common relationships between people.
For example, if you have known a colleague for a year or two, saying that you are just an acquaintance is too light. Saying that you are a friend is not that level. So it is just acquaintance.
The same goes for [friends]. Everyone has a few friends who are close to each other, but there are only a few who can communicate with each other and become [confidants], and even fewer who can become [true brothers].
Su Yang felt that the [true brothers] with a friendship level of 90-100 at the end probably had very high requirements. They were probably the kind of true brothers in ancient times who could ignore their wives and children for the sake of their brothers, and were willing to die for their brothers.
It's a relationship that makes people admire and even...doubt whether it really exists.
At this time, Murray and he had only met once and were already familiar with each other. Su Yang already felt very satisfied.
He felt that if he used his ability today, he might be able to become "friends" with Murray. This would make many things easier to handle in the future.
With this thought, Su Yang became more interested in this dinner.
After a while, Murray returned to the room. He returned to the box with a smile.
Seeing his smile, Su Yang and Wu Feng looked at each other and understood that the matter was probably done.
Sure enough, Murray said, "Mr. Su, I asked for advice. The rating above for this copyright is not high. Mainly because of the reason you said: it is too difficult to shoot, and the Copyright Cooperation Department and the industry are all big and small.
We’ve talked to film and television companies, but no one is willing to film or invest in it.”
He said, returned to his chair and sat down, and said, "This kind of movie has not been tested by the market, and the investment is huge, so it is normal that no one dares to take it."
"Especially because the domestic special effects are still immature. So the original idea above is to treat the film as a long-term task and produce it in a five-year cycle: first form a crew, then slowly shoot, and wait two years for the special effects to mature
Now, let’s start post-production.”
"Now that I heard that you want to make this movie, and after getting to know your production capabilities, the superiors were very happy. They even told you to do it with confidence and boldness, without any burden. As long as the movie is excellent, Guoyang will give it to you.
Be careful and we will make good arrangements."
Su Yang really didn't expect that the matter would be resolved so satisfactorily before the food was served.
Although Murray said it very lightly, Su Yang, who is familiar with the work style of state-owned enterprises or relevant departments, knew that Murray must have contributed a lot here. He just didn't want to take credit.
So he stood up with the wine in hand and said sincerely, "Brother Mu, thank you! I respect you!"
Murray laughed and raised his glass, stood up, and clinked glasses with Su Yang.
The two drank it all, and they both recognized each other.
Then, very quickly, the food was served, and the three of them started eating while chatting.
Murray also took advantage of the wine to talk about the strangeness in this matter.
In fact, the reason why National Film Group released the copyright so easily is not only because of Su Yang's outstanding production ability and Murray's contribution, but also because... "The Wandering Planet" itself is not a very important copyright.
Back then, after Liu won the Hugo Award, National Film Corporation bought the copyrights of several of Liu's good films.
And what is Da Liu’s pinnacle work?
It's "Four-Body"!
As the pinnacle of domestic science fiction feature films, this is the most important plan for National Film in the next five or even ten years.
This kind of movie, which has a huge international influence, is a real milestone when it is made.
As for "The Wandering Planet"...
It is a short story, with not many words in total.
Although his imagination is outstanding, to be honest, there are still many better ones in Liu's.
In addition, it is a short story and not suitable for adaptation.
Therefore, this copyright has always been an alternative, an alternative, and has not received much attention.
After all, if you want to change a short story, in addition to borrowing some ideas, everything else needs to be rewritten, and the world view and plot will be re-expanded. No one knows whether the expanded world view and plot will be welcomed by the audience.
Therefore, it is better to adapt the long science fiction "Four-Body Problem" which is safer, more famous, and more suitable for adaptation.
With this prerequisite, Su Yang could obtain the copyright so easily.
After Su Yang heard this, he was very grateful to Murray: That's what he said, and that's what happened. But...it doesn't matter, it still can't be done. So Murray is very important.
And Su Yang also feels that Murray is a really good person. This kind of person who clearly has merit but does not mention it and is not arrogant is truly suitable for being friends.
As for how Su Yang knew that he really had merit...
Because I have [eyes that travel through space].
When Murray said, "Actually, I didn't say anything to help." "I didn't contribute much to this matter." "Our boss agreed as soon as he heard it." When these words were spoken, [eyes traveling through space] judged them to be false.
Words and humility.
So Su Yang knew that Murray was really a trustworthy person.
So, after the food was served, Su Yang secretly took out a prop he had obtained before that could increase his favorability: [Pan Sex Woman's Golden Spoon] and used it as a male spoon to ladle soup for Murray.
The function of this prop is that if you feed it to someone with a spoon, it will definitely add 2 points of favorability. If you scoop it into a bowl and give it to the other person, it will most likely add 1 point of favorability.
The limit is 5 times a day.
So, after five spoonfuls of it, Murray's favorability increased by 5 points. It reached 49 points, and was only 1 point away from being considered a [friend].
As the relationship grows, the atmosphere at the table becomes more and more harmonious.
But the strange thing is that no matter what topic Su Yang talks about next, although Murray will confirm it or discuss it with Su Yang enthusiastically,... the last point of friendship will not increase.
Su Yang also has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder now. It's already 49 points, only 1 point away, and he wants to get it done no matter what!
Maybe something different will happen.
He began to wonder how he could add 1 point of friendship...
Now that the topic and three views have been discussed, it seems that the friendship level can no longer be added. If you use special props, you can't feed him food, right?
This is too embarrassing.
then what should we do?
After thinking about it, Su Yang suddenly remembered [the elbow that can make complaints]...
Huh? That prop seems to be a compulsory addition of 1 point of favorability if the complaint is successful. Or should I make a complaint?
With this in mind, Su Yang looked at Murray and said to him with a smile, "Brother Mu, in fact, in my opinion, the management of your National Film Group is a bit short-sighted. "The Wandering Planet" is obviously better than "The Four-Body Problem"
Suitable for film adaptation."
As soon as Su Yang said these words, the atmosphere on the table suddenly became cold.
Wu Feng, who was sitting aside, felt a thump in his heart and looked at Su Yang in surprise.
Did you, Brother Su, drink too much? Why did you suddenly say such things? You deliberately made fun of and satirized the management of National Film Group. Isn't this deliberately looking for trouble?
Especially now that the matter has been resolved, why did you suddenly say this and make Murray angry again? What should I do if the matter becomes dirty?
Especially Murray's face was visibly gloomy, which was definitely an unhappy rhythm.
It's over, it's over.
Why did this suddenly happen?
While Wu Feng was worried, Su Yang was actually a little worried.
But he didn't think as much as Wu Feng thought, because he believed in the ability of the system: with Guo Xiaoying's difficult-to-serve temperament, he would not annoy her even if he held his "complaining elbow", let alone Murray.
Sure enough, just for a moment, a message floated above Murray's head: [Complain successfully, favorability +1]
Success!
Su Yang quickly took a look at Murray's friendship level. Sure enough, it had reached 50 points, and the relationship had changed from "familiarity" to "friends". However, the special status of "love at first sight" had changed.
Disappeared.
And at this time...Murray's expression also completely changed.
