Chapter 27: One Step Late
The news that Charter was about to direct and shoot "The Devotion of Suspect X" quickly spread, and many netizens thought of the previous film works of Charter, although the box office results were good, but the reputation was mixed.
However, in any case, there is no doubt about the charter's position in the film industry.
Now those fans of Bai Yi, as well as netizens who like "The Devotion of Suspect X", have expressed their expectations, and also hope that the charter will not ruin this classic and the adaptation will not be too outrageous.
As soon as Bai Yi sold the film adaptation rights of "The Devotion of Suspect X", someone came to the door to ask for the copyright of the TV series, as well as the comic adaptation, and a series of derivatives came.
When "The Devotion of Suspect X" was published before, it was a wonderful work, and now even Director Zhang Da has decided to shoot this novel, so you can imagine how wonderful this "The Devotion of Suspect X" is.
Because of Director Zhang Da's filming of "The Dedication of Suspect X", it further promoted the sales and fame of "The Dedication of Suspect X".
However, Bai Yi was not too happy now, but a little pity.
"Yuehua, didn't I tell you about this last time? ”
A woman in her thirties was constantly complaining about Bai Yuehua, telling Bai Yuehua about her depression, and said: "At first, I thought that you were busy with the show "SINGER" now, and I didn't want to distract you, and I wanted to take the time to talk to Bai Yi alone about the adaptation of the novel to the movie, but I didn't expect to be preempted by him. ”
Speaking of this, the woman with a depressed look is the well-known female director Zhang Qi.
Speaking of Zhang Qi, she is definitely a well-known talented female monster in the directorial industry, graduated from the directing department of Yenching Film Academy, and spent four years grinding a movie "Killing Game", which made her debut "Killing Game" a blockbuster, almost won all the major domestic film awards that year, and was also shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival.
Zhang Qi also made his debut in this film and directly became a big name in the director industry, and his strength should not be underestimated.
is in the same entertainment industry, although Bai Yuehua is a singer, she has a very good relationship with Zhang Qi, and she has been friends for many years.
This time, Zhang Qi came directly to the door and complained about the bitterness.
Bai Yi glanced at Bai Yuehua who was sitting beside him, he hadn't heard Bai Yuehua mention this matter.
Bai Yuehua was also a little embarrassed, and explained: "I didn't expect it, besides, you weren't still abroad at that time, and you didn't say anything specifically, I thought you just wanted to see Bai Yi." ”
Director Zhang wanted to buy the film adaptation rights of the novel, and the price and conditions given were very good, so Bai Yi agreed. ”
As soon as Zhang Qi heard Bai Yuehua mention this matter, he felt uncomfortable, and said sullenly: "He is not suitable for the theme of "The Dedication of Suspect X" at all, and I see that it may be made into a sensational romance film in the end." ”
"When I first read the book "The Devotion of Suspect X", I immediately made up my mind that I must make it into a movie. Not only because of the love in it, but also the faith, the discussion about the vulnerable, such as Yasuko's mother and daughter, and the wanderer who was killed for no reason. ”
"Does that wanderer deserve to die, to live quietly and die quietly?"
"The wonderful thing about "The Devotion of Suspect X" is not only love, but also the reasoning, the technique, the perfect deception, which is the wonderful thing about this mystery novel. ”
Bai Yi couldn't help but be a little amused when he watched Zhang Qi analyze his felling of the novel "The Dedication of Suspect X" so excitedly.
Thinking of Zhang Qi's debut novel "Killing Game", it is also a suspense thriller, and it is also a reasoning path, the storyline is very exciting, and the details are also handled very well. I didn't expect that such a female director with a seemingly literary temperament would fall in love with the genre of reasoning thrillers.
It's really rare!
However, it's a pity that Zhang Yi is a step late now.
If Zhang Qi had talked to him about the adaptation of the novel earlier, he would have handed over "The Devotion of Suspect X" to Zhang Qi for filming.
"Aunt Zhang, I'm really sorry, the film copyright of the novel has been handed over to Director Zhang. ”
Bai Yuehua also saw that Zhang Qi really liked Bai Yi's "The Dedication of Suspect X", but now that things are like this, obviously Zhang Qi can only accept it.
Zhang Qi sighed helplessly and said, "It's still a step too late." ”
Now Zhang Qi is really sorry and depressed, with her relationship with Bai Yuehua, it is not a problem to get the film shooting copyright of "The Dedication of Suspect X", but unfortunately it is too late.
It can't be possible for Bai Yi to buy that copyright back!
Bai Yuehua poured Zhang Qi a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Director Zhang Da, now the outside is looking forward to your second work, I think you will not disappoint everyone, aside from "The Dedication of Suspect X", there will definitely be a book you like." ”
"It's that easy. ”
Zhang Qi replied and said: "Actually, at the beginning, I planned to make a thriller-themed supernatural film, and later I saw your son's "The Dedication of Suspect X" to change, thinking about filming "The Dedication of Suspect X", but I didn't expect it to be ...... now."
"Hey!"
Bai Yuehua was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, and asked, "Psychic film?"
"Yes, I originally wanted to make a supernatural movie, that is, a ghost movie, and I wanted to make a supernatural ghost movie, and I have always been interested in such horror and thriller themes. ”
"Poof!" Bai Yuehua heard Zhang Qi's words, and a mouthful of tea almost squirted out, if Zhang Qi's words just now were spread, they would definitely shock everyone.
Zhang Cainu would actually think about making a ghost movie!
"How did you think of making a movie like this, isn't it too niche? It's not mainstream at all. ”
Zhang Qi replied as a matter of course, "Is my "Killing Game" a mainstream movie? It's not a horror theme, and it's not that many people say it's too bloody. ”
As soon as Bai Yuehua heard Zhang Qi's words, she didn't say anything anymore, she knew Zhang Qi's weird personality, and everyone in the circle knew it.
If you want to say that her Bai Yuehua is straight, then Zhang Qi's personality is even straighter than her, and it is even more weird.
Bai Yi listened to Zhang Qi's words and couldn't help but smile, he now knew how heavy this Zhang Cainu's taste was, and he couldn't help but think about what would happen if he really handed over "The Dedication of Suspect X" to Zhang Qi for filming.
The picture was too beautiful for him to imagine.
However, it's too late to say this now, there is no need to talk about the filming of "The Devotion of Suspect X", the matter is already a foregone conclusion, and it is not easy to change it.
Zhang Qi also knew this, and he only had pity in his heart, and said: "Bai Yi, it's a pity that this time is a step late, but if you write any good stories in the future, you must tell Aunt Zhang in advance." ”
Bai Yi smiled and nodded.
That's natural, and he also wants to work with this female director with a unique personality, which should be interesting to think about.
