"Are you officially out of the customs?"

Ning Hao came to the company for a rare time, with a cigarette in his mouth, leaning lazily on the back of the sofa, watching He Xin fiddling with a set of purple sand tea sets on the coffee table, and the action of making tea was very skillful.

"Sort of, anyway, the script has already been handed in for review. In two days I'm going to walk around and see the scenery. ”

The cargo took a puff of cigarette, then puffed out a series of smoke rings, and it was a smoke ring sleeve.

He Xin is really envious of this guy at some times, he is especially good at playing, and he can play flowers. He can't, he's been smoking for decades in his life, and he won't even vomit a smoke ring.

"Then I suggest you go to Xiamen to have a look, the Binhai Road over there, and the arcade on Zhenbang Road are really beautiful, which is very suitable for the temperament of your story. ”

He Xin poured a cup of tea and glanced at him.

As soon as the first draft of the script was completed, he had read the script of "Crazy Racing".

"Well, this time I'm just going to go around a few cities on the southeast coast, and I haven't been to Xiamen yet. ”

The guy smiled and took a sip of the tea, tasted it, nodded and said, "The tea is good!"

"Nonsense, this is this year's Ming Qian tea, more than 2,000 yuan a catty!"

"Crazy Racing" still continues the style of "Crazy Stone" with multiple narratives, and there are several character settings from the Wanwan Oolong Gang, which is roughly equivalent to the international thief Mike played by He Xin in "Stone". The city he is looking for is one that is more closely connected with Wanwan, and Xiamen is indeed a good choice.

"Boss ......"

At this time, Xiao Douding knocked on the door and came in, and when he saw Ning Hao leaning on the sofa, he was surprised.

"Yo, Director Ning is also here, rare guest!"

"Mr. Hu, you are very busy, I haven't seen your figure for most of the day. I thought people were small and goals were small!"

"That's really my rudeness, if I had known that your Director Ning was coming, then I would definitely have to burn incense, bathe and change clothes, and stand at the door to greet me!"

Xiaodouding and Ning Hao are like a pair of cats and dogs, they always pinch each other.

"Alright, alright, don't make trouble. Xiaohu, what's wrong?"

"The post-production of "Latent" is almost over, and at present, in addition to Shandong Satellite TV, Tomato Channel, Beijing Station and Tianjin Station are all very interested, and I plan to have a four-star simulcast this time. ”

Shandong TV itself is a partner, and Tomato TV set their ratings record last year because of "Double-sided Tape", and they are particularly confident in the TV series produced by Xinhao Media.

As for Jingcheng TV and Tianjin TV, it is roughly for the same reason, especially the story background of "Latent" takes place in Tianjin, so Tianjin TV also seems to be very positive this time.

"You can do it, but be careful not to let piracy get out. ”

Nowadays, video sites are developing rapidly, and at the same time, they are in a period of brutal development, and they are full of piracy. The original time and space "Latent" has not been broadcast on TV and has become popular on the Internet.

"Well, I know, I'll pay attention to this. Little Douding nodded.

To be honest, she is also having a headache about this, for example, last year's hit "Double-sided Tape" has long been moved to the Internet, even if you want to defend your rights and protect intellectual property rights, this is a long and cumbersome process. The protection of intellectual property rights in China has been so touching in recent years that it is no wonder that people are often criticized internationally.

Then she put the two large brown paper envelopes she was holding on the coffee table and said, "The manuscripts of "People's Literature" and "Harvest" to be published next month have arrived. ”

Ning Hao was slightly surprised when he heard this: "You also bought the right to watch the first one?"

The so-called first viewing right means that you can see the content of the magazine before it is published. For example, as early as more than ten years, the national teacher signed an agreement with the domestic "Hundred Flowers" magazine for the "first viewing right", and he paid some fees, and after each issue of the "Hundred Flowers" magazine came out, a copy would be mailed to him.

At this time, the magazine was not yet on the market, so he could have time to get the film adaptation rights of the work he liked before others.

He Xin also has the same mentality, on the one hand, the "Sound of the Wind" that he has been thinking about has not been seen so far, and he is worried that someone will be the first to get on the ground when the time comes, and on the other hand, he also wants to discover some works that he has an impression of and are put on the screen in advance, and accumulate the adaptation rights of some good works.

"There are too few good scripts on the market now, so we can only find a way in this direction. He Xin shook his head and said.

Ning Hao was a little ashamed when he heard it, although last year's "Stone" hit and made a lot of money for the company, but it couldn't withstand the long stream. From "Wulin Gaiden" to "Double-sided Tape" to "Latent", which has just been completed and has been coaxed by many TV stations, these are all He Xin's developments. Everyone is a shareholder, and he is dwarfed by comparison.

But he didn't say anything, some things were too much, but they seemed hypocritical, as long as they knew it in their hearts.

"Two bosses, you talk slowly, I'll withdraw first...... Oh, boss, Teacher Yu is coming over in the afternoon, don't forget. Xiao Douding didn't forget to remind him before leaving.

It's no wonder that she is so enthusiastic, the last time Teacher Yu came, it is said that she was impressed by the intellectuality of Teacher Yu, and kept saying that women should live like Teacher Yu, intellectually, self, and do what they want to do.

"Okay, I can't forget, I originally asked her out. ”

"Teacher Yu, who is it?" Ning Hao asked.

"Yu Feihong, she is also your Nortel. ”

"Oh, it's her, it's really Teacher Yu. But by the time I was in school, she had already left film school. I heard that she is a very tall person, how did you get together?" Ning Hao said with a new expression.

"She asked me to make an appointment, and now she is also a director. He Xin smiled.

"What kind of film?

"Yes, it's called "Love Has an Afterlife", which tells the love story of a woman and a ghost......"

He Xin gave him a rough introduction to the synopsis of the story.

"The subject matter is quite novel, but this kind of film really has to be shot by a female director, and if you change the old man, you may not be able to grasp this delicate feeling. Anyway, I definitely won't be able to make this film. Ning Hao shook his head and sighed.

However, his words made He Xin's heart move, and he inexplicably increased his confidence in the teacher. Hassle-free

"Oh yes, I recently figured out an idea to see if I could make a comedy set in the Spring Festival. ”

He Xin has been waiting for the appearance of "The Wind" now, and he is also wondering if he can get the film "People in Embarrassment".

He never thought that this very popular comedy movie in the original time and space was when he was filming "Latent", because the Spring Festival was going to be a holiday, and because of the Spring Festival, Xiao Luzi often complained that train tickets and air tickets were hard to find, which made him suddenly think of this film.

And from his current point of view, the film "People in Embarrassment" is actually a low-cost comedy, and it is not difficult to perform and shoot, it is a typical comedy that is small and big.

The key is that this "embarrassment" series is definitely a big IP in later generations, and it has achieved Xu Guangtou's perfect transformation from a second-tier actor to a big director.

Although He Xin does not have the directing ability of Xu Guangtou, it does not mean that he can't take this "embarrassing" series into his own hands in advance.

In addition, he has always had a worry, don't look at the absolute dominance of his current cooperation with Ning Hao, but the more he goes, Ning Hao's influence will definitely increase with his works.

It doesn't matter if he is dominant or not, but the key is whether the two will be as close as they are now? Or whether Ning Hao is willing to take him at that time is unknown.

Since the last time he released the pigeons, it is clear that he has not been naïve and blind to believe in righteousness, friendship, trust between friends, etc.

You must know that in the face of interests, in fact, many things cannot stand the test.

If he can control this "embarrassment" series, he will have the same capital as Ning Hao in the future. Just like a ship, it is easy to capsize if there is an imbalance between the left and right, and only by maintaining balance can we move forward steadily.

As for Xu Guangtou?

Well, as a born-again person, you should go your own way and let others have no way out. Otherwise, wouldn't people like Liu Li, King Yan, and Uncle Pancake be in a panic!

"Spring Festival background, the main theme?"

Ning Hao subconsciously connected with the main theme.

"No, no, it's a comedy, and it doesn't match the main theme. ”

He Xin smiled and waved his hand, and said: "My idea is this, that is, a successful small boss who has developed in the capital, there is a lover here, and under the pressure of his lover, he is going to divorce his wife after going home for the New Year." But on the way home, I met a migrant worker who was going to ask for wages, and then I had bad luck and encountered all kinds of accidents......"

He was still very impressed by the film "People in Embarrassment", and he explained the plot of the movie in his memory to Ning Hao in a dancing.

It's just that after Ning Hao listened to it, he didn't have the shooting he imagined, or even more exaggerated, nodded his head and bowed, and strongly asked to direct this play. Instead, he was stunned for a long time before blinking his eyes and said, "The theme of the story is quite novel, but I heard that your story is very similar to "All the Way Crazy"?"

"What's the smooth wind?" He Xin said stunned.

"Oh, it's an old American movie, the English name is "Planes, Trains and Cars", and the Chinese name is "All the Way Crazy", but this madness is not crazy crazy, not windy wind. This is also a comedy about the journey of two people. ”

"What do you mean? I haven't seen this movie!" He Xin asked again.

He knew that Ning Hao had read a lot of films, far more than himself. But he was a little strange, how could "People in Embarrassment" be related to an old American movie?

"Listen to me, 'All the Way' is about a New York advertiser who is critical of every little thing in life and is flying back to Chicago to spend Thanksgiving with his family. At the airport he met a vulgar curtain merchant, who was always loud and noisy, and his habits were not flattering, and the advertising merchant hated him. But by mistake, the two of them sat together on the plane......"

Listening to Ning Hao retelling this story with a smile, the more He Xin listened, the more he felt that it was the same as what he had just said.

For example, the plane was caught in a snowstorm and could not land in Chicago and had to land somewhere else; two people had to stay in the same room but were met by a thief who stole their money; they had to take the train instead but did not want the train to break down again on the way; they changed to a bus and had to sit halfway because they had no money; and finally had to rent a car, but because the merchant who sold the curtains smoked and accidentally lit the car, both of them almost died......

Almost the same storyline, two people with completely different personalities, because of the hardships along the way, and the people or things they met along the way, which touched the lives of the two people a lot. Eventually, the sincerity of the merchant who sells curtains changes the indifferent character of the advertising merchant after the two go through the journey from strangers to becoming friends.

He Xin felt very embarrassed after listening to it, he had always thought that "People in Embarrassment" was an original story, after all, Xu Guangtou infringed the other party's copyright because of the filming of "Thai Embarrassment", and was awarded a sum of money by the court. But after a long time, this so-called "original story" turned out to be a copycat!

He told Ning Hao this story, in fact, he wanted to pretend to be forced in front of Ning Hao, but he never thought about it, but he exposed his butt.

"I really haven't seen the movie you said is called "All the Way Crazy", the story I just told you is really my own thoughts!"

It's just that when he really thinks about it, his expression is inevitably a little unnatural.

Ning Hao showed a look of "I know, but I just don't say it", smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's a normal thing for creativity to crash." Besides, this movie is very old and niche, and I don't think many people know about it. In fact, the storyline you just told is more Chinese. I think you can take this idea a little bit more.,Maybe it's a good book.。 ”

"Uh......"

Ning Hao looked at him with a cloudy and uncertain expression, and smiled and comforted: "It's really okay, I filmed "Stone", when it was released, didn't some people say that I plagiarized "Two Big Smoking Guns", but it didn't affect the audience's liking of this movie, don't you say?"

Ning Hao left with a smile, saying that he would have to pack his luggage when he went home in the afternoon, and he would go to the south with Du Jie early tomorrow morning to see the scenery. It's just that He Xin's depressed mood lasted until the afternoon.

......

"Mr. Yu, I like this story very much, but after reading the script, I think some places may have to be discussed. ”

He tried to be as soft as possible and said it politely.

Teacher Yu fluttered at her big innocent eyes that really looked like sixteen-year-olds, and asked, "Then what do you mean......?"

"I think so...... Oh, I may not be able to say a sentence or two, I wrote everything down on paper, you can take a look first. As he spoke, he took out a densely written, three-page A4 paper and handed it over.

Seeing this, Teacher Yu looked a little surprised, and looked at him with complicated eyes, then he took it and nodded: "Then I'll take a look first." ”

Teacher Yu looked very seriously, sometimes contemplative, sometimes frowning. Apparently she is a person who is not very easy to compromise, or to assert herself.

After reading it, he was silent for a long time, then he raised his head, habitually stroked his hair, and said with a smile: "Then I'll go back and think about it, let's talk about it another day, thank you for your suggestion!"

Teacher Yu was very simple, which made He Xin a little surprised. But it's good to think about it, if you can talk about it, you can cooperate, if you can't talk about it, it's nothing.

Even if he likes the story, he is reluctant to put himself in the hands of a rookie director whose ideas are obviously in conflict with his understanding.
