Chapter 465: "Latent" of Difficult Birth
"Boss, there's no such thing as you, I just got home, and I have to come upside down when you call. Say, what's the instructions?" bean yelled as he entered the door.
He Xin was eating with a mouth full of oil at this time, and he didn't have time to talk for a while.
Cheng Hao, who was on the side, hurriedly ran out, took Xiao Douding's arm and said enthusiastically: "Sister Hu, come on, come on, eat some together." ”
Xiao Douding glanced at her and said disgustedly: "If you eat meat at night, aren't you afraid of growing meat?"
"Haha, it's okay! I've taken on a new play, and I'm thinking about gaining some weight. ”
Cheng Hao talked to director Gao Xixi before, Gao Xixi suggested that she gain a little fat, Fang Yanyun is a courtesan wearing a cheongsam, and her body is a little plump, which is more in line with the character. At present, Cheng Hao's figure is still a little thin.
And Gao Xixi is particularly satisfied with Cheng Hao among the actors currently selected, the key is that the preparation is very solid. Although Huang Haibo is not bad, he is a young actor after all, as for the other two male and female No. 1, they are too busy, Gao Xixi just wants to talk to them, I'm afraid they can't squeeze out time.
Cheng Hao and Xiaodouding pulled and pulled affectionately, and I have to say that the relationship between the two of them is now advancing by leaps and bounds, and they have already reached the level of best friends.
Without him, on the one hand, Xiao Douding's appearance is not a threat to Cheng Hao at all, on the other hand, and most importantly, Xiao Dou Ding can make money!
Since the establishment of Xinhao Studio, from "Green Meadow" to today's "Wulin Gaiden", no matter how good He Xin's vision is, no matter how strong Ning Hao's ability is, if there is no operation team behind him, it is very difficult to achieve it. Obviously, now Xiao Douding is undoubtedly the head of the best operation team behind He Xin and Ning Hao.
Moreover, Cheng Hao's salary of nearly 4 million for starring in "Wulin Gaiden" was converted into investment, accounting for 20% of the total. She is also counting on Xiao Douding to help her make more money.
"Wulin Gaiden" was bought out by CCTV for 16 million and premiered exclusively, which is undoubtedly a success. At least the investment has been recovered, and the next two and three rounds will be net gains.
Of course, compared with the original version of the hard work, the reason why CCTV is so refreshing this time, the female number one is good, and the many big names in the guest list are also indispensable. To put it bluntly, ratings are linked to stars. The current Cheng Hao and Yao Dazui in the original version, whether it is from the coffee position to the poor popularity, it is not an exaggeration, 108,000 miles.
Although Xiao Douding pouted and expressed his dissatisfaction, he still couldn't resist the temptation of the food, and after Cheng Hao sat down, he also began to grab the steaming copper hot pot to eat the meat.
He Xin ate two plates of mutton shabu in one go, and finally filled his empty stomach with seven or eight points full, stopped his chopsticks, drank half a cup of cold beer, and said with a satisfied face: "Cool!"
Xiao Douding also stopped his chopsticks at this time, glanced at him, and pouted: "I said boss, you also underestimate the ability of your employees, right?
Just now, she had already learned from her best friend Cheng Hao the reason why He Xin found her in the middle of the night
"When did it happen?" He Xin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"It was last month, He Lirong applied for it. At that time, I was busy negotiating with CCTV, and I didn't care about it, and later I learned that the slag wave didn't add V to our studio, and I communicated with them two days ago, and I just added it. Little Douding said arrogantly.
"What's the content posted on the blog?" He Xin hurriedly asked again.
"Of course, it's to promote "Wulin Gaiden", which is to post some tidbits and photos from the shooting. Not to mention, netizens are looking forward to it. Xiao Douding said with a smile.
“......”
He Xin originally wanted to use the advantage of his rebirth to show off, but he didn't expect that the people under his hands had long wanted to be in front of him. He inevitably felt a little depressed, and then thought about it carefully, it was actually quite normal that he had never been able to get out of his previous life, there were too many smart people, and those who could succeed were indeed not accidental.
"Oh, by the way, boss, there is news about the "Latent" you asked me to inquire about last time, and it is a coincidence that the author of this "Latent" and the author of "The Story of Two Donkeys" I fell in love with before belong to the same unit, and they are both from the Tianjin Writers Association. It's just that this "Latent" is just a short story, and I don't seem to have any value in adapting it, but I don't know if it's what you want? And "The Wind" can't help it, no one has ever heard of this name. Hey, boss, you can't be mistaken, are you?"
"Well, maybe, I've heard from other people, too. ”
He Xin was vague, and then immediately asked: "Is the film and television copyright of "Latent" still there?"
"Absolutely. ”
Xiao Douding is a little strange, she doesn't think there is any adaptation value, but He Xin looks very attentive.
"Look for it and show me. ”
"There's no need to look back, I'll take it. ”
Xiao Douding said, taking out two printouts from his bag, one thin and one thick.
She deliberately took the thick copy and said to He Xindao: "This is the manuscript of "The Story of Two Donkeys", the author has not published it yet, but I think this one is very valuable for adaptation into a movie." ”
He Xin was not interested in "The Tale of Two Donkeys" or anything like that, he took the two printouts, put aside the "Tale of the Two Donkeys" that Xiao Douding had ceremoniously recommended, and picked up "Latent" to read it first.
There are two big characters lurking on the cover, and the signature of another foreign author: Long Yi.
For lurking, he only knows Yu Zecheng, Cui Ping, Zuo Lan, stationmaster, Li Ya and other characters in the play, as for who the director is, he has no impression, and the original author knows nothing.
He couldn't wait to open it to find a familiar name, and when he saw the first sentence at the beginning, "Yu Zecheng is an honest intellectual young man." He didn't have to look at the rest anymore, he was completely relieved.
"Your next task is to take down the film and television rights of this. He Xinxing raised the manuscript in his hand and said.
"This is a matter of one sentence, what kind of task is it!" Xiao Douding muttered, and then said: "Boss, let me state first, I don't think this has any adaptation value." But anyway, I don't have much money, so if you're happy!"
Cut, what do you mean that there is no adaptation value? It will definitely surprise you when the time comes!
However, He Xin was too lazy to see Xiao Douding now, so he just glanced at her, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of disdain.
When Xiao Douding saw it, he snorted unconvinced and turned his head away. But immediately he turned around and admonished uneasily: "Boss, I suggest you take a good look at "The Tale of Two Donkeys", I have taken down this copyright." ”
"Hmm!"
He hadn't even heard of the name of "The Story of Two Donkeys", including the author named Wang Song, who was also a very unfamiliar name. But as Xiao Douding said, there is not much money anyway, so you can be happy.
The price of adapting film and television copyrights is really not high in these years, unless you are a brilliant masterpiece, just like the so-called "Braided Trilogy" in March River, Alai's "Dust Settled", etc., these are all famous masterpieces, and the copyright fee will naturally not be low.
Similar works such as "The Tale of Two Donkeys" and "Latent", which are not well-known by authors, can be done for tens of thousands of dollars at most. Because "The Tale of Two Donkeys" is a novella, Xiao Douding spent 60,000 yuan when he first talked about it. As for the short story "Latent", it may be even lower.
......
"Whew!"
He Xin sat on the bed and let out a sigh, he had just finished reading the short story "Latent", which was only a dozen pages long.
Five chapters, more than 10,000 words, I read it in less than twenty minutes.
How so?
It's kind of like a story outline of the thirty-episode TV series he remembers.
And the characters in it are very simple, only Yu Zecheng, Cui Ping, the stationmaster, Captain Ma, these characters. What Zuo Lan, Li Ya, Lu Qiaoshan, Late Autumn, Cao Bingkun and other characters are all not.
Yu Zecheng has been an underground party for a long time, not because women joined later, and there is no such plot as assassinating traitors in the front. He was a confidant of the stationmaster early on, and he had nothing to do with Boss Dai in Chongqing.
He Xin felt a little worried at this time, just such a short story of only more than 10,000 words, how easy it is to adapt it into a series of 30 episodes!
Maybe he can use his memory to construct the relationship between the characters and build the skeleton of the story, but the content inside needs to be filled. He is not as awesome as the protagonist in the big golden hair, and he can even write down the lines in film and television dramas word for word. In the end, he can only say roughly.
Especially the golden sentences that come out from time to time in the original TV series, many of which he can't remember anymore. Don't underestimate these lines, that is definitely the key to improving the quality of TV series and attracting audiences.
It's a pity that no matter how desperately he recalls, he just can't remember who the screenwriter and director of the TV series "Latent" in the original time and space are.
It's also said that in his last life, he watched dramas just to watch a lively one, and he only remembered the main actors who could leave a deep impression, as for the director and screenwriter shown on the subtitles later, who would pay attention?
Including a very impressive spy war TV series "Before Dawn" in his memory, Tan Zhongshu, who can remember the scumbag Xiubo and small eyes, played the sailors of his big shopkeeper in "Qiao's Courtyard", and he also can't remember who is the director and who is the screenwriter.
"What's wrong?"
Cheng Hao took a shower, came out of the bathroom in a pair of suspender pajamas, saw his boyfriend leaning on the head of the bed and sighed, and asked with concern.
Before He Xin came back to his senses, he saw her leaning over and glancing at the word "latent" on the cover, so she frowned and said, "Sister Hu told me just now, saying that this has no value in adaptation, what are you going to do?"
"What does she know!" He Xin snorted disdainfully.
It's really not easy to think about adapting it into the TV series in my memory. But this kind of thing is not in a hurry for a while, and I will slowly figure it out later.
He casually threw the manuscript on the bedside table, turned around and hugged his friend who had just gotten into the quilt, and gnawed at her flushed face that had just finished bathing.
"Why is it late, you have to wake up early tomorrow?"
"Well, it's okay, I'll only be at home for two days at most, and I don't know when I'll be home tomorrow night...... Hey, you go a little further down...... Sizzle......"
