Chapter 622, "Latent"!
"Come, come in and sit!"
Liao Dongbin pushed open the door of his office, made a gesture of invitation to Li Zhifan, and then continued to continue the topic just now, "Na, the big star Wang Yuanyuan, who has published her personal photo + mood text collection here, and the little fresh meat Luo Binghan, who is now popular, also published his first personal growth record book "22 Years Old" here, and has achieved good sales results......
"Teacher Liao!"
Li Zhifan interjected while Liao Dongbin was ventilating, "This is different from theirs!"
"Oh, I know!
Liao Dongbin smiled and said, "Is it an adaptation of the script?"
"Hmm!" Li Zhifan nodded, "Yes!"
"Haha, I understand that many directors and editors in the circle have released this kind of adaptation work with us!"
Liao Dongbin personally poured a glass of water for Li Zhifan, "We have a strong editorial team in the company, they can help polish, of course, the editor's job is like this, if you hand over the adaptation to us, I will let the oldest editor Yang Deputy Editor-in-Chief to polish you." ”
"Uh......"
Li Zhifan didn't know the rules in this industry, of course he knew about polishing, and he also knew that the works of many famous writers needed proofreading and polishing by the editors of the publishing house, so he nodded again and again, "Then thank you Mr. Liao for your help!"
"Hey, you're welcome!"
Liao Dongbin asked expectantly, "Then can I take a look at your work first?"
"Of course!"
Li Zhifan snapped his fingers, and the assistant immediately handed over the USB flash drive.
Liao Dongbin plugged the USB flash drive into his computer, and when he opened it, he saw a document that read: "Latent" short film version, followed by the date, and the date is today.
"Huh?" Liao Dongbin blurted out with doubts, "Isn't it "Wolf Warrior"?"
"What "Wolf Warrior"?" Li Zhifan laughed, he reacted immediately, daring to love this Liao Dongbin thought that he was taking the Wolf Warrior script adaptation to submit!
"Oh! no, no!" Liao Dongbin also reacted, and laughed embarrassedly, "I made a mistake, na, let me take a look at ...... "Latent"?"
"It's just over 10,000 words, huh?"
Liao Dongbin glanced at the number of words under the document, speechless and curious.
"That's right!" Li Zhifan said, "This is a short story!"
"Oh!" Liao Dongbin was once again caught up in the browsing.
14,000 words is very fast for Liao Dongbin, and he started as a reviewer and editor, but after the first rough reading, he had a sweet taste, so he slowed down and read it from the beginning.
After watching it for three hours, I forgot that Li Zhifan was sitting opposite.
And Li Zhifan didn't mind, and told the assistant to go out and buy bread and fruit, and sat on the sofa and waited.
When Liao Dongbin finally got out of the more than 10,000 words, he found that a long time had passed, and Li Zhifan had already placed a pile of fruit peels and empty bags of bread in front of his desk.
"Ahh
Liao Dongbin patted his head and stood up, apologetically, "I'm so old trouble, as soon as I see good words, I can't stop falling into it, I'm really sorry!"
"It's okay!" Li Zhifan smiled, "Aren't I taking care of myself?"
"Ah, that's it! It's not early, let's go have a meal, I'll have a treat!" Liao Dongbin said.
Li Zhifan said: "You can arrange this manuscript first! I won't eat the meal, I have to hurry back to the capital!"
"Oh, good!
Liao Dongbin immediately walked out of the office, called the secretary in, and then didn't know where he went, and finally brought in two elderly editors.
A man and a woman, the woman's hair is white, with reading glasses, the man is younger than the woman, but it is also much bigger than Liao Dongbin.
Liao's secretary had already printed two copies of "Latent" in his office and handed them directly to the two editors.
Neither of them said hello to Li Zhifan, and without saying a word, they picked up the manuscript and began to read it silently.
Li Zhifan looked at the time, should he wait another hour?
I didn't expect it to be quick this time.
The female editor raised her head in surprise, looked at Li Zhifan and asked, "Director Li, you wrote this?"
"Yes!"
Li Zhifan said, "Originally, I planned to write a TV series. ”
"Good writing!"
The female editor Chrysostom bluntly asserted, "I haven't seen this kind of spy war literature written so well for a long time, you must have studied a lot of materials, right? Not only the history of World War II and the history of the party, but also many things can only be written with reference to internal materials, and it is impossible to make it up by imagination." ”
"Most of them are made up!"
Li Zhifan was not ashamed, "But I did study a lot of information." ”
The original book of "Latent" is not as twisty and thrilling as the adapted TV series of the same name, and it is very short, but it does not make it any less moving.
However, the success of the TV series is more due to the screenwriter's credit, on the basis of the original work, secondary processing and in-depth excavation, as well as wonderful descriptions on the branches and foreshadowing, which turned these 14,000 words into a 30-episode long-form TV series.
Li Zhifan has the script in his hand, but he hasn't started yet, it is a very huge project, not the same as 14,000 words, which can be typed in two days.
And he doesn't plan to adapt the content of the TV series, because in this case, the TV that has read the book will have no sense of expectation.
"This, we can publish it in the Monthly Bulletin!"
The male editor finally spoke, he was the deputy editor of the "Monthly News", "We only need one issue of this short story to publish it." ”
Liao Dongbin looked at Li Zhifan: "What do you think?"
"Yes! That's it!" Li Zhifan said, "Sign the contract!"
Liao Dongbin glanced at the male and female editors and motioned for them to go out first.
After the two of them left, he said, "That...... Zhifan, of course, it is no problem for this short story to be published in the "Monthly News", but if it is released as an independent book, it is too short. It's better to take out the story of your "Wolf Warrior" and make an episode for you, and "Wolf Warrior" is so popular, you can also take this short story with you. ”
"But I don't have a version of "Wolf Warrior"?" Li Zhifan said.
"It's okay!" Liao Dongbin was already happy, and couldn't hide his joy and said, "Your script is still there, right?" Leave it to us, and I will arrange for the editor to help you adapt it." ”
"Is this okay?" Li Zhifan was stunned, but he didn't object, anyway, his time and energy are limited, since Liao Dongbin proposed this kind of operability, he will leave it to the publishing house to be responsible.
"Alright then! I'll send it to you by email!"
"Okay!" Liao Dongbin said, "Then I'll ask the secretary to draft a contract first, you take it back and take a look, and if there is no opinion, we will sign the contract!"
