Chapter 550: The Birthday of the Group Pet Xixi (3/4)
There is an old saying, "God closes a door, and at the same time opens a window for us", when Yang Yi was still thinking about how to deal with Tang Kaitai's trouble, Lu Benjie came over again and told him a good news.
But it's not good news from Shonan, this was a few days ago.
In the afternoon, on the set of the makeshift bank, Lu Benjie happily told Yang Yi, who was sitting on a chair waiting for his camera to start shooting: "Boss, your "Prison Break" was watched by Woolf TV in the United States, and they want to talk to you about copyright transfer. ”
Woolf TV is a large online television media company, a bit similar to HBO in the previous life, the parent company is more powerful, and it is one of the eight major film and television production companies in the global film industry. Among the rice dramas imported in China, many of them still obtained the copyright from Woolf.
It's just that Woolf doesn't have a branch in China, so how can they be fancy it?
Yang Yi asked this question: "How can they know about my book? Could it be that Mr. Xu of Global Pictures is so kind and recommended it to them?"
This is certainly impossible!
Lu Benjie smiled and told Yang Yi that they took the initiative to ask a translator to help translate the first season of "Prison Break", and then sent emails to major film and television companies to present the work directly to the tables of those producers.
No, Woolf TV took the bait.
Yang Yi understood, and he forgot about this stubble.
Yang Yi's English level is also at the same level as that of native speakers, such as "Prison Break", which was originally translated by him and organized by himself, and can be translated into English and sold abroad!
Of course, the most important thing is film and television copyright, he can let more film and television companies see it, and there is no need to just rub in with a global film industry! Lu Benjie gave him a good idea.
This is put aside for the time being, Yang Yi is still more interested in Woolf TV's intentions.
Will it be like Xu Zhongwei of Global Pictures, who will take himself for a fool?
In fact, it was really at the beginning, after all, it is a place where capital is supreme. Woolf wanted to lower the price in the first email, taking advantage of the defects that the Chinese people did not understand the Chinese TV market, and cheaply won the copyright of "Prison Break".
The negotiation team organized by the Sahara Press for Yang Yi is not vegetarian, and Woolf's people contacted them, and the professional and rigorous negotiation team immediately made them put away their contempt, plus Sahara also pulled the banner and told them that wolves were waiting, including large companies like Global Pictures, and it was not just them Woolf (OLF) who was staring at the TV rights of "Prison Break".
Woolf's men finally got their way up and talked to the Sahara about the price of the copyright transfer.
"Well, in terms of negotiation, you are more professional than me, and I trust you in this. Yang Yi nodded and said to Lu Benjie, "However, I hope that before the negotiation results come out, Woolf's side will first show their sincerity, I am not talking about money, but to give me a shooting plan, who the director is, how much investment is expected, etc.! These need to be written into the contract, I don't want my work to be ruined by some new directors!"
Lu Benjie nodded while writing it down in his notebook.
After talking about this matter, Lu Benjie packed up his things and prepared to leave.
"Old Lu, do you have any arrangements for a while?" Yang Yi asked with a smile.
"Ah, it's not a big deal, I'm going to go back to the publishing house, boss, what do you command?" Lu Benjie was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said.
"If not, just stay, and in a while, everyone will celebrate my daughter's birthday, and it just so happens that you will be lively together. Yang Yi said with a smile.
……
Today is July 13th, and it's Xixi's birthday again. The little girl, like Murphy, is living a new birthday. (Note 1)
Yang Yi actually didn't plan to make a big deal today, just like last year, at home, he and Murphy had a small party for the little girl, and then the family warmly offered blessings to Xixi, which was enough.
But who made Guo Ziyi this guy very hearty, he remembered Xixi's birthday from the previous chat with Yang Yi, and told the whole crew the news that the little girl was going to celebrate her birthday on this day!
After getting along for the past few days, whether it is Du Yuanlei, Geng Xia, or the rest of the crew, they all like Xixi, who is smart and good at chatting!
Like makeup artist Xiao Ran, when he put on Guo Ziyi's elderly makeup, Xixi also came to observe with great interest, and while watching, he asked Xiao Ran some strange questions adoringly. Xiao Ran not only didn't feel annoyed, as a senior makeup artist, he actually found a long-lost sense of accomplishment in Xixi, the little girl's curious big eyes made Xiao Ran feel that every stroke of the eyebrows was as great as Genesis!
There is also Professor Xiang Jiang Lei, an old drama bone who plays a veterinarian, the old man loves this little girl even more, and after his own scenes were filmed, he stayed and volunteered to be Xixi's acting teacher to guide some of Xixi's later performances. Under his guidance, Xi Xi is also getting better and better, and his fluffy white hair is also thinning more and more by Xi Xi.
After the news spread that Xixi was going to celebrate her birthday, all the members of the crew unanimously decided to give Xixi a big surprise - everyone celebrated her birthday together!
This plan was decided two days ago, and it has been going on quietly, including Yang Yi and Murphy, who are involved in secrecy, and they don't let Xixi know about it at all.
However, there is a problem that Xixi did not come today, because it was a bank robbery scene, and the little girl had no role. This is a shooting plan that has been made before, and the rented venue cannot be extended, so it can only be filmed according to the plan.
Of course, the problem is also easy to solve.
Murphy took Xixi with him, sat in the car driven by the bodyguards of the Kai family in Lanzhou, and joined Miss Lanxin, who came to join in the fun, and only came to the set in the afternoon when the sun was not so strong to visit Yang Yi, who was filming.
This excuse is good, and it completely conceals Xixi, who has no suspicions.
No, the little girl is here.
"Uncle Li, I'll come over with Ma Ma to watch my baba, and I'm baba making a movie in it. It's not Uncle Geng, Yang Yi is my real poop! And then this is my good friend, her name is Xin'er, and she also came to see my poop, can you, can you let us in? Please, don't let Xin'er in, okay?"
In the distance, Xixi's clear and pleasant voice was heard.
After a few days of getting along, Xixi has already gotten acquainted with everyone in the crew, including the security uncle who maintains order on the scene and prevents outsiders from mixing in.
Murphy also deliberately exercised Xixi's ability to organize language, and asked her to greet the security guard Uncle Li!
