Chapter 566: Comic IP Adaptation?
Longwenxing knows Liu Zixia very well, and knows that at this time, Liu Zixia's heart must have blossomed.
That's why he asked.
Liu Zixia, who was swiping Weibo and the comments on the official website of "Journey to the West", stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at him, and said:
"You're really right, there is almost no bad review of our TV series on the Internet, and looking at the comments of netizens is simply a spiritual enjoyment. ”
"Let me see. ”
Lin Xuefeng came over, snatched the tablet from Liu Zixia's hand almost as much, and said, "It's only been an hour, even if it's popular, it won't have so many praises, ......right?"
As soon as he said that, when he saw that the main interface of Weibo was full of topics about "Journey to the West", the voice stopped abruptly.
"Hey, Lao Lin, what's up there?"
Longman Xing leaned over and glanced at it, and said, "I'm going, isn't it? It's only been a long time, and there are almost 100,000 comments." ”
"I'll take a look too!" Chen Huasheng stood up and walked behind the two.
The three big men, their heads are about to bump together, and they look very interesting.
"Liu Sheng, congratulations!" Mrs. Chen congratulated Liu Zixia with a smile to Lan.
Liu Zixia scratched his head and said: "Mrs. Chen, thank you for your congratulations! But I think your congratulations are still a little too early, after all, there are many new TV series that have landed on major domestic TV stations today, and my results can only be regarded as unsatisfactory." ”
"You kid, you just speak too modestly!"
Cheng Siqi said angrily: "Can't you be domineering? If nothing else, just those Weibo comments you just saw, aren't they all saying that "Journey to the West" is good?"
"That's it!" Li Meng came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Do you want to make a bet with us? Just block 100 yuan, I bet on a set of CCTV tomorrow, from 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock, the ratings are definitely the first in China!"
"100 yuan, I bet too!"
"Add me, add me ......"
As soon as Li Meng's words fell, Longwenxing, Chen Huasheng and several of them also came back to their senses, and they all shouted that they wanted to gamble with Liu Zixia.
"You all bet on CCTV to be the first in the ratings, so what should I do?"
Liu Zixia blinked and said innocently: "The TV series we filmed ourselves, if I don't bet on winning the TV series, others will poke me in the back." ”
"Hahaha, you kid, you can really talk!"
Hearing Liu Zixia's words, several people all laughed.
Even though they knew that this guy was joking, everyone present still found it very interesting.
Everyone played around for a while, and Longman said, "Okay, it's half past eleven, we're going home to rest, what are you going to do?"
"We went back to the hotel. Chen Huasheng stood up and stretched, and said, "At this time, it happens that this place is not far from the hotel we have booked, or it will be there in a few minutes." ”
"If you want me to say, you can rest in my house. Liu Zixia said: "There are many guest rooms at home, you have a good night's rest, and when you get up tomorrow morning, I will take you around Jinghua City." ”
"Liu Sheng, I appreciate your kindness, but let's go back to the hotel. ”
Xiang Lan also expressed her gratitude to Liu Zixia, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, we have to deal with the company's affairs, so let's go back to the hotel." ”
"Then I won't keep you!"
Liu Zixia knew that these two people were still a little unaccustomed to living in other people's homes, so he simply stopped forcing him to stay, and said, "By the way, Brother Sheng, how many days do you still have to stay in Jinghua?"
"When will you write the script you promised me, and when will I return to Hong Kong Island. ”
Chen Huasheng said while sorting out his clothes: "And there are not many things in the company recently, and I should be busy after the New Year, so I have time to stay in Jinghua." ”
"Are you really going to stare at me in Jinghua to write a script?" Liu Zixia said with a smile.
Before the Chinese New Year, Chen Huasheng asked Liu Zixia to help him write a heroic script with modern society as the background and showing future technology.
For Liu Zixia, when he heard Chen Huasheng's request, he already had an idea in his mind, but because of the Chinese New Year, the time was too tight, and he was too busy to start writing.
Now that Chen Huasheng has begun to urge him, Liu Zixia naturally remembered this script.
"That's it. Chen Huasheng said with a smile: "Aren't I here to urge you? If you can't create something in half a year, I will come to your door every day and block you!"
What's the ......
Liu Zixia was a little speechless, should this guy be so shameless?
"I said Zixia, can I ask, what script are you talking about?" Lin Xuefeng looked at Liu Zixia and the others chatting there, and asked a little strangely.
"Oh, that's it!" Longman Xing explained to Lin Xuefeng: "A few days ago, Mr. Chen called Zixia and asked him to help him write a script, and the content of the script was ......"
When Longman finished explaining to Lin Xuefeng, Lin Xuefeng's eyes lit up and said, "Zixia, do you already have an idea?"
"Mr. Lin, what do you want to do?" Chen Huasheng glared at Lin Xuefeng and said: "I have already signed a contract with Zixia, if you want to rob me, help Zixia prepare liquidated damages first, but I want to remind you, the liquidated damages are 500 million!"
Nima, do you want to be so ruthless?
Lin Xuefeng grinned, feeling that Chen Huasheng was also a little ruthless.
"Zixia, isn't this an overlord contract?"
Lin Xuefeng turned his head to look at Liu Zixia and said: "If he forces you, you can tell your uncle that the relationship between uncle and the cost of money will also make this contract invalid, why can't he let the people of Hong Kong Island cheat you?"
"Mr. Lin, I don't like to hear what you say!" Chen Huasheng was not happy, "It's not that I forced Zixia to sign the contract, it's his own willingness, let's talk ......"
"Alright, alright, two!"
Seeing that these two people almost quarreled over their own affairs, Liu Zixia said with tears and laughter: "Besides, the copyright of this script is actually still in my hands, I just sold the movie copyright." ”
"Hey?" Chen Huasheng felt strange, "Zixia, what you said is true, could it be that a script can be of other uses?
"Of course there are other uses!"
At this time, Longman Xing laughed like a fox and said, "Zixia decided to write a script for you, but didn't say that the script can't be changed according to the comics?"
In this afternoon, Longman Xing had already chatted with Liu Zixia in detail.
Liu Zixia has already told Longman Xing about his specific ideas for forming an animation group and a comic group, and he has also made it clear that he is going to create a comic and animation series.
Longman was still not supportive at first, but after listening to Liu Zixia's detailed plan and seeing the confident smile on his face, he still expressed his support.
Originally, this matter has nothing to do with him, he originally represented Wenxing Entertainment Media Group, and the studio contract he signed with Liu Zixia was just a 20% annual dividend of craftsmanship profits, but he could not participate in any decision-making and operation of Xia Yue Studio.
In other words, even if Liu Zixia splits the studio into only one department, Longman Star must not interfere, otherwise it will be a breach of contract.
"Mr. Lang, what do you mean by this?"
Hearing Longmanxing's words, Lin Xuefeng's eyes couldn't help but light up.
"It means ......"
Longman Xing said with a smile: "Zixia has prepared a comic group under the studio, and then based on the comics drawn by the comic group, it is used to adapt novels, animations, film and television dramas, ......"
Comic book adaptation?
Except for Liu Zixia and Longwenxing, everyone felt very strange, because no matter how you look at this IP adaptation, it feels full of reverse thinking!
"Zixia, you're not serious, are you?" Chen Huasheng was a little nervous.
"Seriously, of course. Liu Zixia nodded and said, "Brother Sheng, don't worry, I'm already preparing for the script you want me to create!"
"Already preparing?" Hearing this, Xiang Lan asked with some curiosity: "Liu Sheng, do you mean that the script that Huasheng asked you to write is already preparing to draw comics?"
Not only Xiang Lan, but also Chen Huasheng, Lin Xuefeng, and his daughter-in-law all looked at Liu Zixia with curiosity.
"Haha, you don't know yet, right? In fact, Zixia is not only a singer, writer, screenwriter, director, and actor...... He is also a painter, and the comic of "Cinderella" was provided to Wenxing Entertainment by Zixia. ”
Cheng Siqi said with a smile: "If you don't believe it, you can ask Zixia." ”
Cheng Siqi's voice landed, and everyone looked at Liu Zixia in unison.
In fact, in the final cast list of the "Cinderella" animated movie, the names of the original book, screenwriter, and author are marked, but they are all immersed in the plot of the movie, so they don't care.
Seeing that everyone looked over, Liu Zixia nodded and said, "Indeed, but I only provided a comic herb, and the refinement work was handed over to the animation department of Wenxing Entertainment Media Company." ”
"Hey, Zixia, you're really enough to surprise us!"
Chen Huasheng said with a surprised face: "I'm really jealous of Lao Lang now, how good would it be if you were someone from our company?" Hey, I really regret that when I saw you singing in the restaurant under the tree, I didn't find you and sign into my company!"
"Hey!" Lin Xuefeng patted Chen Huasheng on the shoulder and said, "This kind of thing can't be envied, I also used to have this kind of idea of yours, and then I gave up completely." ”
"You two, do you want to be so jealous?"
Long Wenxing said a little speechlessly: "I'm just a person who provides money, and I can normally be a fixed person, but it's still Zixia." ”
"I'm not here for independence and freedom!" Liu Zixia snorted and changed the topic: "Brother Sheng, you can rest assured, I already have a general idea of the script you want, and when I am busy in the past few days, I will start drawing." ”
"Really?" Chen Huasheng was still a little skeptical.
"Of course it's true. Liu Zixia nodded and said: "I have already designed the specific image needed in this comic, and it won't be long before the draft will be published, so you can rest assured that you can return to Hong Kong Island!"
"I don't want to go back anymore. Chen Huasheng shook his head helplessly and said, "Besides, you kid is really a female fraud, you would even think of adapting comics, I really convinced you!"
"This is called fighting for my own best interests!" Liu Zixia touched his nose and said.
"Yes, whatever you say!"
Chen Huasheng was speechless, as long as Liu Zixia could write a perfect script, he didn't care if it was adapted from something!
