Chapter 126: Overseas TV Stations
"Foreign rights dealers?"
Zhang Chu asked puzzledly, "What are they looking for me?"
"Looking for you to buy the TV series adaptation rights of "Sherlock"!"
Zhou Kang's words were amazing, obviously today they were mainly promoting "Psychological Crime", but "Detective Sherlock" was sold instead.
Zhang Chu looked at Xu Ji across the seat, he didn't hide it, and asked: "Which copyright owners are specific, I'll be back soon." ”
"They only have one translator here, and the translation is not very good, only one is from the BBC, and a few are from the United States. Zhou Kang's English has long been returned to the teacher, and he can only understand a few simple words, and he cannot communicate with foreign copyright dealers.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chu said to Xu Ji with a slight apology: "Director Xu, I have to go to the booth if I have an urgent matter here, let's talk about it again next time." ”
"I'm also going to see the excitement, I don't know if Huan is welcome?" Xu Ji stood up, he was really worried that "Psychological Crime" would be bought and ruined by foreigners.
It's hard to find a good book this year.,It's hard to see that there's a domestic one.,Must be cherished.。
Zhang Chuke didn't reveal whether those foreign copyright dealers came to buy "Psychological Crime" or "Sherlock", anyway, it doesn't matter if there is one more person.
"Of course you're welcome!
The old man Xu Ji, who was in his sixties, walked like a fly, followed Zhang Chu and walked quickly towards the booth of Menglong Culture Company.
At this time, there were already a lot of people gathered outside the booth to watch the excitement, after all, most of the people at the film and television rights trading conference were Chinese faces, and the sudden appearance of so many blonde and blue-eyed gringos must be quite attention-grabbing.
Many reporters also rushed to hear the news, and they all thought that "Psychological Crime" had attracted these foreign copyright dealers.
……
"You're back. Zhou Kang hurriedly pulled Zhang Chu in front of him, and his eyes saw Xu Ji behind him, "This is Director Xu?!"
"It's him, just now I was talking to Director Xu about the adaptation of the script of "Psychological Crime", and you called me back in a hurry. Who the hell are they?"
"BBC TV in the United Kingdom, CBS in the United States, and HBO, they seem to have taken a fancy to "Sherlock". ”
Wu Tong added on the side that at present, Zhang Chu's two books have become fragrant in the eyes of film and television producers, which makes Wu Tong want to tie Zhang Chu to the chariot more and more.
After sorting out the clues, Zhang Chu said to Zhou Kang: "Uncle Zhou, you can help me receive Director Xu, and I will go talk to those foreigners to see what they want." ”
"Okay, okay, did Director Xu agree?"
Zhou Kang was worried that Zhang Chu would be fooled, don't look at Xu Ji as a big director, but this is not a little foolish, the film copyright of "Psychological Crime" can't be handed over so easily.
People are impetuous, Zhang Chu forcibly calmed himself down, and he replied: "Not yet, you just treat him as a potential partner." ”
After Zhang Chu finished speaking, he tidied up his clothes and walked towards the foreigner in the lounge next door.
……
"Joseph, I haven't seen you for a long time, I really didn't expect us to meet in China!"
A white man with a beard greeted the man next to him warmly.
The other party stretched out his hand and smiled, "Beck, you HBO also want this story from him?"
"Such big news, who doesn't want it, this is our British story, and it should be handed over to us at the BBC to film. ”
Those who do TV series are inevitably familiar faces, and their four TV stations are among the best, since "Sherlock" is not bad, then buy it.
People who are familiar with American dramas are no strangers to BBC, HBO, CBS and FOX TV stations, among which domestic audiences are most familiar with BBC documentaries, HBO's various paid TV series, CBS's ace comedy and several major reality shows, and FOX TV also has quite a lot of ace American dramas.
When Zhang Chu walked in, these people immediately stopped greeting each other and turned their eyes to the young man in front of them.
What kind of young man can write a good article and take the Conan Doyle Foundation to court?
Baker looked at the boy in front of him carefully, his childish appearance was definitely not more than 20 years old, and his son, who had just entered college, looked more mature than him.
With a handsome appearance, a sunny and warm smile on his face, he is obviously a youth idol, but it turned out to be the goal of his trip.
I'm HBO's Baker, and it's nice to meet you. The bearded man held out his hand.
The translator, who had been hidden for a long time next to him, suddenly stood up and wanted to translate Baker's words, but he heard Zhang Chu on the other side respond in an unusually fluent Oxford dialect.
"It's me, I've watched many of your TV programs, and they're all great!"
Zhang Chu has only been proficient in elementary English for a short time, and now it comes in handy, his pure Oxford accent surprised several TV station representatives, especially BBC representative Richard, who asked directly: "Wow, you used to live in London?"
Britain has always been known as a gentleman's country, and the British accent is known as the sexiest accent in the world, which used to be a popular spoken pronunciation in public schools, Oxford University, and Cambridge University, and was later adopted as the standard English pronunciation by radio stations.
"No, I've always lived in China, but I often watch your BBC programs and broadcasts, so I've learned a little bit. Zhang Chu is not ashamed to put gold on his face, the primary English proficiency of the system lottery does not allow him to be the same as Shakespeare, Shelley, Dickens and others, but there is no problem with the daily use and communication of language and writing.
Only then did the translator suddenly remember that the young man in front of him, who was very happy to talk to the rest of the people, was still a bull with a perfect score in English in the college entrance examination!
accidentally gained a little prestige value, Zhang Chuke didn't know that this was contributed by the translation girl next to him, and he was pretending to be forced anytime and anywhere.
"Gentlemen, I'm sorry I asked directly, why do you want to shoot this TV series, it doesn't even have an English version, have you really read the book?"
As a straightforward boy, Zhang Chu asked a question that had been in his heart for a long time, his "Sherlock" is only available in Chinese Simplified and Chinese Traditional Chinese, and there are two versions because it can be directly converted and does not need to be translated.
Joseph, who wore black-rimmed glasses, smiled and replied, "I haven't read your book, but I know he's telling the story of Sherlock Holmes' life in modern times." Believe me, there are already a lot of netizens in the United States who are curious about this story. We just need such a story, and we also have staff who can speak Chinese to read and evaluate it, and combine the evaluation of your work with global popularity, so we want to buy it directly. ”
Joseph's words were agreed by the rest of the people, how could such a large company not have the existence of Chinese and Chinese employees?
What's more, the media that first reported Zhang Chu's lawsuit against the Conan Doyle Foundation had a list of them, and any TV drama project was launched after rigorous analysis.
