Chapter 26 [Novel Adaptation]
Because of the so-called musical talent and composition ability, Bai Yuehua and Fang Nan hoped that Bai Yi would become a singer and take the road of music, but they didn't know the truth of the matter.
Bai Yi's real talent is on the road to drama.
However, Bai Yi didn't feel that he had too much talent, and he was not born with a drama backbone, otherwise when he was admitted to Chinese opera, the teacher would have persuaded him to quit.
But even so, Bai Yi didn't give up, he didn't feel like a loser, he had no talent, no matter what, he was admitted to one of the top art colleges in China, although he has not been obvious in the class, he has been grinding his acting skills over and over again, and graduated four years later, with solid acting skills, he did not enter the showbiz, but entered the art by mistake.
took the path of an actor, he was not popular.
However, he has entered the highest stage of drama, Renyi, acting in Renyi, many years have passed, on such a small stage, he does not feel too depressed, watching his classmates become popular, and he is not jealous, so he grinds in the drama circle.
People live for a lifetime, do what they like, and be able to support themselves, which is also a skill.
Of course, when I was admitted to the art academy, I naturally thought about becoming famous, thinking about making movies, and becoming a big star.
Bai Yi has always known that he is a particularly hypocritical person, a typical Leo.
Although he said that he didn't care, he had been acting in dramas in Renyi, sharpening his acting skills, learning art, and engaging in acting, and he didn't want to express his own ideas, especially in front of more people, the better, and naturally wanted to become a big star.
Stars and actors don't seem to be in conflict.
Bai Yi didn't have too many ideas about Bai Yuehua and Fang Nan's hope that he would debut on a show like "SINGER", and he thought at the beginning that he would wait for him to be admitted to the Yenching Drama Academy and then talk about acting.
But things clearly didn't go the way he expected.
・・・・・・
Because of the film and television copyright of the novel, Bai Yi received a call from Song Ming.
Originally, because Bai Yuehua participated in "SINGER", Bai Yi's "The Dedication of Suspect X" signing was not held, but this time Song Ming strongly asked Bai Yi to free up time, because someone wanted to buy the film and television rights of the novel.
"The Devotion of Suspect X" was a big hit, and now it is on fire, and it has always been the top of the best-selling list, receiving countless praises.
is so exciting, a classic reasoning love masterpiece has long been targeted by some film and television companies.
Now it is a large company that is looking for Bai Yi to talk about the adaptation and filming of the novel, Huaying Media.
Because he wanted to talk about the film and television copyright of the novel adaptation, Bai Yi deliberately told Fang Nan about this matter and asked Fang Nan to go over to discuss it with him, after all, to negotiate the contract, Fang Nan knew better than himself about the copyright of the novel shooting change.
Although Fang Nan knew from the beginning that "The Devotion of Suspect X" was very exciting, she didn't expect that a company would come to her door so soon, wanting the film and television rights of the novel, and it was a big company like Huaying Media.
The place to meet is in an upscale tea restaurant.
Huaying Media sent a young man, Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen was wearing gold-wire glasses, although he had a smile on his face, Bai Yi felt that Zhao Chen was a little arrogant, and it seemed that Huaying could talk to him about Bai Yi's film and television copyright for the adaptation and filming of the novel.
This feeling made Bai Yi a little uncomfortable.
Therefore, when talking, Bai Yi didn't have much interest, especially at the price given by Zhao Chen.
"Bai Yi, don't worry, it must be the right decision to hand over "The Devotion of Suspect X" to Huaying Media for adaptation and filming, and the company will find the popular Li Lin to play the role of Shishen, and the famous director Xu Guocheng to shoot. ”
Bai Yi was noncommittal, glanced at Fang Nan, and said directly, "The price you gave is too low. ”
Fang Nan frowned, she also knew more or less about the adaptation copyright of the novel, and the price given by Zhao Chen was simply the price three or four years ago.
Three or four years ago, the copyright of a novel's film and television adaptation was generally about 100,000, and a year or two ago it was 340,000.
Not to mention, Bai Yi's "The Devotion of Suspect X" is a very classic work, the top of the bestseller list, and a classic of mystery novels, how can it be at the same price as other novels.
As soon as Zhao Chen heard Bai Yi's words, he was not happy, his face was unhappy, and he glanced at Bai Yi up and down, if he didn't care that Bai Yi was the son of Bai Yuehua, the queen of heaven, he was afraid that he would have said some ugly words a long time ago.
Zhao Chen had a smile on his face, but his smile was a little fake, and said: "Now the price of the adaptation copyright of the novel is a bit inflated, and even if you buy the adaptation copyright, you may not be able to shoot, Huaying gives such a price is not low, and Huaying has planned to invest in the filming of this film, the movie is a big director like Xu Guocheng, I believe that the essence of the novel "The Dedication of Suspect X" will be filmed, respect the original novel, and when the time comes, Bai Yi, you can also recommend some actors you like to audition." ”
Look how nice that sounds like that!
If it were another author, he might be very concerned about his work being adapted and filmed, and he also hoped that his novel would be a very classic work, but Bai Yi didn't care, he was not short of money now.
Furthermore, he doesn't care too much about whether "The Devotion of Suspect X" can be adapted and filmed now.
Even if the copyright can't be sold, if he has capital in the future, he can shoot it himself, and then he, the author, can be more free.
As for what Zhao Chen said, what kind of big director, big production, and well-known actors joined, these sound good, but they are all false, even if he recommends some actors, it is useless, there is no decision, but it is just a recommendation.
really thought that Huaying was a big film and television company, so he was very concerned, ecstatic, and confused.
Fang Nan knows Huaying's status in the film and television circle, but she also thinks that the price given by Huaying is too low, which does not meet the value of the novel "The Dedication of Suspect X" itself.
Fang Nan turned his head to look at Song Ming and asked, "What is the film and television adaptation right of Lin Lai's "Time Too Rush"?"
People inside and outside the circle of adaptation rights of this popular youth novel know that the adaptation right is 1.5 million, which is not the highest novel adaptation copyright.
Song Ming helped his glasses, he also felt that Bai Yi's "The Dedication of Suspect X" was cheap, and he didn't feel that "The Dedication of Suspect X" was worse than "Time is Too Hurried", and even "The Dedication of Suspect X" could be said to be the pinnacle of mystery novels.
Not to mention that the Taishan Beidou Cao Lao in the literary world once said that "The Devotion of Suspect X" may be the best book of the year.
With such a high evaluation, what else can deny the value of the novel "The Devotion of Suspect X".
As soon as Zhao Chen heard Fang Nan mention this matter, his face sank, and he felt a little uneasy, Lin Lai is also a well-known writer and has been famous for a long time, even if Bai Yi is not bad now, he is still a newcomer after all, not to mention that this is still Bai Yi's first novel adaptation, how can the price be high.
I still want to be compared with Lin Laibi, thinking that he is the son of a diva, and he is really the first in the world!
Fang Nan looked at Zhao Chen and said: "Bai Yi's book "The Dedication of Suspect X" is very popular now, and netizens are also discussing the adaptation and filming of the novel, this novel is more suitable for film adaptation, and unlike those youth campus movies, this novel is more suitable for adaptation and shooting, not only in terms of box office, but also for film awards." ”
Still rushing for film awards!
Zhao Chen sneered, he really dared to say it.
The matter has not been discussed, and the next step should be to start arguing and negotiating conditions.
You come and go.
But to Zhao Chen's surprise, Bai Yi was not interested in continuing to argue with him, not long after he rejected the price and conditions given by Bai Yi, someone agreed, and he was one of the top directors in China.
"The Devotion of Suspect X" is about to be adapted and filmed by the director's charter, and the news has already spread.
