Chapter 397, Film Company
Stephanie is very envious of Ye Kai's talent, because ordinary writers write at most one or two films a year, and Ye Kai has released several works in the past two years.
After "Harry Potter" appeared, she deliberately checked Ye Kai's previous books, looked at the translations of Ye Kai's previous two books, and found that there was no connection between these works.
The gap between Eastern art and Western art is like a curse, but Ye Kai directly transitioned from an Oriental writer to an international writer, and there was no wave at all during the period, which made Stephanie envious to the point of explosion.
But because of this, she has seen too much of Ye Kai's experience, and has seen too much of Ye Kai's works and travelogues, and gradually, she also began to feel that it is logical for Ye Kai to get his current status.
The literati are only relative, and they feel that the other side is inferior to themselves.
But it is not difficult to admit the status of another writer, not to mention whether he likes it or not, but being liked by so many readers has actually proved that Ye Kai is one of the best writers in this era.
Stephanie believes that there will not be a book like Harry Potter for a long time.
"It's all inspiration, otherwise I wouldn't have written so many books...... In fact, after writing Harry Potter, I wanted to write a book on other subjects, but I never knew what to write, and I was very confused. ”
The corners of Stephanie's mouth raised...... She herself is in this state, and she has not been able to write better works since she finished writing the Twilight series, and she can't help but want to tear it up after writing a manuscript.
Stephanie remembered something and said to Ye Kai: "Have you sold the rights to the Harry Potter movie? I heard that many production companies in the United States are looking for you, but they have never been able to get your contact information." ”
“……”
Ye Kai felt that it was time to find an assistant. He needs an assistant to help him deal with some things outside of life and travel, such as the copyright of his works, operating fans, and reminding Ye Kai of some important things.
The release of Harry Potter movies is something that Ye Kai has been thinking about for a long time, he is ready to hand over the copyright to European and American film companies to deal with, but he doesn't want to take the initiative to find the door, so that there is no news of such a popular book in the world so far.
"Not yet, strangers can't get through to me...... I don't read much of the private messages on Weibo and Twitter...... Miss Mel, do you have any good recommendations?"
Her work has been one of the most successful adaptations of the century, with a book that has been featured on the cover of Time magazine and even ranked in the top five richest writers to make.
It is worth mentioning that there have never been Chinese people on the global writers' rich list.
And Ye Kai is now the most promising person on this list, but the premise is that Harry Potter's film and television has a good result, strengthening the IP value of this book and increasing Ye Kai's value.
Stephanie took a look at the church and said, "Let's go out and find a café to talk in a while, I also hope that your work can be adapted into a movie sooner." ”
Ye Kai thought about writing for an hour, and finally found that the sentences were not very smooth, so he deleted most of it and drank a glass of water...... And Stephanie, who was sitting on the side, had already finished today's daze.
What happens when a writer has nothing to do and no inspiration?
This is what Stephanie is doing, but when she arrives in a new place, she has inspiration, she writes about it, and soon she feels that life is boring and empty, and inspiration continues to be lost......
No solution.
Seeing that Ye Kai seemed to have finished writing, Stephanie nodded at Ye Kai, and the two walked out of the church together.
Stephanie is really too boring, she has lived in Reykjavik for almost two years, she has experienced extreme days and nights, and she has been to all the places she can once, and she has long lost her novelty.
But after seeing Ye Kai, this freshness returned.
It's not that she likes Xiao Xianrou, but that Ye Kai does have a magic power that can calm people down, and even the inspiration that has not moved around him is eager to try.
So, Stephanie decided to befriend Ye Kai.
Even if you are an ordinary friend, you usually ask out to write together, and you can be an artificial WiFi that provides inspiration for yourself, which is better than not being able to write something for a while ago.
Stephanie ordered coffee, and Ye Kai asked for a cup of lemon tea.
"Mr. Ye is very young, but the books you wrote are really mature, especially Harry Potter, and the feelings in the two books made me feel moved. ”
"I didn't expect you to see it all. ”
"Can you tell us a little bit about Snape's follow-up? ”
Is this a woman's sixth sense? It's really scary...... Ye Kai complained in his heart, the expression on his face remained unchanged, and said:
"It's a very important character, but I suggest you wait and read, haha, Harry Potter will come out quickly, after all, I've sorted out the whole plot. ”
Touted each other, Stephanie said Ye Kai's Harry Potter, and Ye Kai said Stephanie's Twilight.
When the coffee was served, Ye Kai and Stephanie talked about business...... That is, about European and American film production companies......
"Harry Potter's results can be completely self-selected partners, and there are six best companies in Hollywood, Disney, Warner Bros., Universal, Sony, 20th Century Fox, Paramount...... Mine was given to Lionsgate, though. ”
As a writer, Stephanie is actually not as proficient in Hollywood as a practitioner, she just analyzed the pros and cons of choosing each company for Ye Kai from the perspective of a writer.
But for Ye Kai, this is enough.
Nowadays, there are very few best Western magic, there were only three in the past, that is, "The Lord of the Rings series", "Twilight series", "The Chronicles of Narnia", and now many people are discussing whether the "Harry Potter series" can also be added to it.
However, since it has not yet been fully updated, many people are on the sidelines, waiting for the follow-up of Harry Potter to reveal more world views and make the magic world more complete.
After listening to Stephanie's narration, Ye Kai thought for a while and said, "I think Warner or MGM are good, aren't the Hobbits made by them?" ”
These companies have their own specialties, but after listening carefully, Ye Kai still feels that these two companies are more suitable for the Harry Potter book.
Stephanie also recognized Ye Kai's choice, saying: "I can help you contact them, but the cooperation between you can only be discussed with them by yourself." ”
Ye Kai gratefully shook hands with Stephanie: "Thank you very much, your opinion has helped me a lot." ”
Seeing Ye Kai's face up close, Stephanie suddenly had a new inspiration in her heart...... What if I set the main character to be Chinese? Just look like this, just have a personality like this......
