800. Competition

So far, the three books published by Nie Wei are still regarded as classics by countless book friends, so Wang Zhonglei is also a little unsure of how to adapt these three books.

Although he can't decide until Nie Wei returns to China, this does not prevent Wang Zhonglei from asking these people in the company in advance to see what they think, after all, brainstorming.

""Ghost Blowing the Lantern", "Langya Bang" and "Zhu Xian", what do you think, you can mention it. Sitting on the main seat, Wang Zhonglei gave orders like a general, and the following executives were his staff officers.

As soon as Wang Zhonglei's voice fell, he immediately saw a person standing up, and he took a serious look, isn't this Lin Xiang, the director of the company's newly established online drama department.

"Mr. Wang, I am here to give you a military order, these three are adapted for us, I guarantee that the average number of hits on their network can exceed 100 million, if you can't reach it, you will directly remove my position. Lin Xiang said loudly.

But before Wang Zhonglei could respond, a director of the TV drama production department on the side was not happy.

"Lin Xiang, these are all Mr. Nie's works, isn't it a waste to make online dramas for you, I think you should make TV dramas first, rely on TV dramas to attract audiences, and then wait for TV dramas to become popular before launching movie works. ”

"What is waste, our department was set up by Mr. Nie himself!Moreover, at the last meeting, Mr. Nie personally said that our online drama department will become an undesirable force in the company, and the potential for future development will even surpass yours, so don't underestimate people, give us good works, and we will definitely be able to shoot good dramas!" Lin Xiang retorted without showing weakness, with a faint trace of anxiety in his eyes.

After all, the department has been in place for three months, but there is no achievement that can be made.

You must know that when he first set up this online drama department, he was full of confidence, especially after listening to Nie Wei's impassioned words, he vowed to make a career.

But these three months made him clearly understand that the online drama market is indeed full of potential, but the degree of development is really low and scary, he is now like being suddenly thrown into a deep mountain and old forest that has not been populated for hundreds of years, and the company will not care about him if he loses a firewood knife to him, and every step he takes, he needs to overcome obstacles, and he is a pioneer on this road.

So the more this is the case, the more he is thirsty for good resources, such as the adaptation rights of the three books that Wang Zhonglei took out this time.

As long as he can win any of them, then he can also make the 'wood knife' in his hand at least become a logging machine, and as long as the situation is opened, the next road will naturally be much easier.

"But the production strength and broadcast platform of your online drama department can't be compared with our TV drama department. Another director of the TV drama department stood up and choked, looked at Lin Xiang with a disdainful expression, and said with a smile: "I think you should think more about other works, Mr. Nie, these classics are still handed over to our TV drama department to produce, and then broadcast on regular TV stations." ”

"What are you, just label us, who said that the works we produce are not as good as yours, and the online platform is easier to promote, even Mr. Nie is more optimistic about the future of the online platform. ”

"Yes, you also said that Mr. Nie is optimistic about the future of the network platform, not now, I will tell you, now no matter which director you ask in the circle, he will answer you, he prefers his TV series to be broadcast on the TV station!"

"You're biased, and I'll prove that we don't have to be any worse!"

"What proof do you take? Take Mr. Nie's work? Don't be kidding, if you fail to prove it, who will be responsible for the damage to the reputation of the work?"

Wang Zhonglei also didn't expect that this would only start, and the TV drama department and the online drama department would have a tendency to quarrel, so he hurriedly knocked on the table to signal both sides to calm down.

Wang Zhonglei expressed his position, and Lin Xiang didn't want to say anything, but expressed his determination to Wang Zhonglei again.

"Zhao Lei, don't you represent your film department, tell me?" Wang Zhonglei did not give Lin Xiang a clear statement, but asked Zhao Lei on the side.

"Mr. Wang, I don't have anything to say, these three works are very suitable for turning into movies, but I think the most suitable is the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, this series can be arranged into a series like the foreign "Harry Potter", after all, each chapter of it is actually a complete story, and it is also very exciting. Zhao Lei replied with a smile.

"Hmm. Wang Zhonglei nodded, in fact, he also felt that the most suitable for immediate adaptation was the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, just like Zhao Lei said, every unit of this is a complete story, and what Huayi lacks now is this series of film works.

After all, as long as the first part of this series is successful, it will always have a fixed audience in the future, which also represents stable box office revenue, and the more series a film company can launch, the stronger the company's strength.

At this time, Hu Ming, the company's vice president who was sitting on the left hand side of Wang Zhonglei, also expressed his opinion.

"I agree with Mr. Zhao's words, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is currently the most suitable work to be adapted into a series of movies, and through "League of Assassins", we have seen the technology of Mr. Nie's special effects company, with the other party's technology with such an excellent story, I believe that it is certainly not difficult to show a mysterious world of tomb robbery, and I think this series has a very good possibility to become our company's signature film series. ”

"As for "Zhu Xian" and "Langya Bang", I think it is more suitable to be produced as TV series, after all, they are the kind of stories that have close echoes before and after, especially "Langya Bang", it involves a battle of power and wit, no matter what paragraph you remove, it will make the story incomplete, and if it is adapted into a movie, it is difficult to condense it, after all, this one is really the essence everywhere. ”

Hu Ming's analysis was in place, and everyone present nodded unconsciously when Hu Ming said.

And when Hu Ming finished speaking, Zhao Lei nodded noncommittally, the main competition today is actually the TV drama production department and the online drama production department, after all, both are the production of serial dramas, but the platforms they choose to broadcast are different.

It stands to reason that it would be best if we could cooperate, but unfortunately, where there are people, there will be fights, and the online drama production department is holding its breath to come out, and the TV drama production department is not looking down on a few raw melons and eggs on the online drama side at all.

Zhao Lei couldn't help but smile and shook his head when he thought of this, thinking that Nie Wei might have really made a wrong decision this time, why did he have to make another online drama production department, why bother.

To put it bluntly, Zhao Lei is not optimistic about the online drama production department in the competition between the two departments of TV drama and online drama this time.

"That's it, don't fight with each of you first, go back and write a plan, and then wait until Nie Wei comes back, we'll have a meeting to discuss, and then Nie Wei will personally specify which work you can make, that's it, let's end the meeting." Wang Zhonglei announced.

Before leaving, Wang Zhonglei glanced at Lin Xiang, he was actually not very optimistic about the online drama department that Nie Wei had made, and always felt that the power of this department and the TV drama department was basically the same, as for the issue of the broadcast platform, can't the produced TV series be broadcast on any platform?

Just after Wang Zhonglei decided to dismiss the meeting, a group of people at the scene gradually left the conference room.

The content discussed in the conference room has been spread throughout the company within ten minutes of the end of the meeting.

"Binbin, have you heard, the company is going to start Nie Wei's original three, and it has been determined that "Ghost Blows the Lantern" will be adapted into a series of movies, which is a good opportunity. After Fan Binbin's agent got the news, he immediately called Fan Binbin, who was running out for activities.

As soon as he heard that it was "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and it was going to be adapted into a series of movies, Fan Binbin was also very moved.

"Sister, is there any specific news, such as when the project will be established, and is Nie Wei going to be the director?" Fan Binbin was moved, but he still maintained a certain calmness and began to ask for specific details.

"Not so fast, but we have to know how to plan ahead, Mr. Nie must be the one who has the right to decide, you have to be really interested in this role, he will return to China in two days, and then we will visit Nie Wei." ”

"Let's talk about it, sister, I'll hang up first. Fan Binbin hung up the phone, and then sighed unconsciously.

She had watched "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and at first she just wanted to have more common topics with Nie Wei, so that she could shoot the boss's sycophants, but after reading the beginning, she couldn't stop and was completely attracted, and then unconsciously read it many times.

For the main female characters in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", she doesn't have to go through it, and she remembers it clearly in her heart.

And the most exciting character for her, Shirley Yang naturally formed an iron triangle with Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan.

This character is wise, mysterious, extremely charismatic, and very adventurous, otherwise she wouldn't be part of the Iron Triangle.

The most important thing is that the only important female character who can run through the entire "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series from beginning to end is Shirley Yang, so to speak, she is the absolute heroine of the work "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

Although Fan Binbin wanted to play this role from the bottom of her heart, she also understood that even if this role was her, it was not so easy to get.

Don't talk about others, let's just say that Li Binbin, who is in the United States at this time, is the most powerful opponent in her eyes.

Fan Binbin, who originally acted in "My Love from the Star" and acted in two blockbuster movies in succession, is definitely higher than Li Binbin in terms of fame, but no one would have thought that Nie Wei would handpick Li Binbin to become the heroine of "League of Assassins", and this movie sold so well at the box office.

As of today, the cumulative box office of this movie has been close to 1.3 billion, which is a miracle, and before that, who would have thought that one day the box office of a movie would exceed 1 billion?

Because of this, Li Binbin, as the heroine of this movie, has come from behind in popularity, and now she has surpassed Fan Binbin by half a level.

And Fan Binbin also believes that the image of the other party is actually more suitable for the role of Shirley Yang than herself, of course, it is impossible for Fan Binbin to give up, and she will definitely not give up fighting for this role before the final result comes out.

Even in Fan Binbin's eyes, this role has the potential to become a channel for her to open Hollywood, and when she thinks of this, she does not allow herself to let go of this role.

A big star like Fan Binbin, she had already been notified before the meeting ended, and those little stars, such as Zhao Liying, waited until the company was about to spread all over the company, and her agent got the news and hurriedly called Zhao Liying.

At this time, Zhao Liying was picking a lunch box for the crew, and when she saw the agent calling, she hurriedly put the lunch box she had just picked on the small table on the side, and didn't forget to say to an actress who was filming together: "Help me watch it, don't let others steal my food." ”

"Don't worry. The actress agreed, and after Zhao Liying turned to leave, she immediately opened Zhao Liying's lunch box and sandwiched the two lonely ribs in it into her lunch.

didn't know that her lunch box had been stolen by the guards, Zhao Liying found a remote place after leaving the temporary house, and then picked up the phone.

"Sister, is there anything wrong with me? Are you working again?" As soon as the phone was connected, Zhao Liying asked very actively.

"There are no new jobs. Zhao Liying's agent replied, and when she heard Zhao Liying's undisguised sigh of loss on the other end of the phone, she couldn't help but smile and said, "But there is good news, do you want to hear it." ”

"Listen, listen. When Zhao Liying heard the good news, she hurriedly said that she couldn't wait to know.

The agent didn't play any suspense, and directly told Zhao Liying the news he had just gotten.

"Liying, this time the opportunity is rare, the company is likely to open three dramas at the same time, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" Let's put it aside first, but "Langya Bang" and "Zhu Xian" I think you can fight for it, especially "Zhu Xian", the characters in it are about the same age as you, which is exactly what an actor of your age should play. ”

"But sister, listening to what you say, there must be a lot of people fighting for such a good work, how can I fight for it. After Zhao Liying heard the news, she flinched a little, in her opinion, the agent praised these works so well, can a young actor like her really act?

As soon as she heard Zhao Liying's unambitious words, the agent suddenly became anxious.

"Liying, you have been in the company for two years, do you want to play small roles for the rest of your life, and go on in obscurity for the rest of your life?

"And have you forgotten who was the one who was optimistic about you in the first place?" the agent emphasized.
