023 Crazy Stone

Lin Tao and Zhou Ting returned to Songping on October 6. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

By the time the two of them got home, it was already getting late.

The guest room arranged by Lin's father and Lin's mother for Zhou Ting has always been in a state of check-in at any time, and the two of them were already too tired to take turns to travel, so they didn't say hello for too long and fell asleep.

Early the next morning.

After breakfast, Lin Tao and Zhou Ting rushed directly to the headquarters of the 21st Century Film Company, after more than half a year of development, now the entire 21st Century Film Company has begun to take shape, although it is difficult to compare with those old film and television companies in China, but it can be regarded as a strong soldier.

Li Weiwei's work in this area is indeed very good, even if Lin Tao has the experience of being a human being in two lives, he can't help but smack his tongue a little, of course, he trusts him more and more and gives Li Weiwei a lot of power.

So the current Li Weiwei can indeed be regarded as full of spring and radiant.

"I read on the news that your new book has been released?"

After meeting and greeting, Li Weiwei's first question was about Lin Tao's new book.

She had read the manuscript of "Game of Thrones" before, not only read it, but also gave Lin Tao a lot of opinions as the first reviser, who was born in the English major of a top British university, and Li Weiwei's skills in this area far surpassed Lin Tao.

Compared with Lin Tao's previous works, Li Weiwei has a very high evaluation of "Game of Thrones".

"Hmm. ”

"When did you give me a collector's edition?"

Lin Tao was suddenly embarrassed.

Collector's Edition?

Where does this thing say that there is, and he doesn't know how to operate it himself.

"Sister Weiwei, isn't it difficult for you to be a strong man? Where can I get a collector's edition for you, or I'll give you a copy for free?"

"Okay, just you, I'm not rare, I have time to write songs and lyrics for the little girl, let's not talk about books, we don't even have a piece of paper, Xiao Zhou, you say yes, sooner or later I will let Ruonan leave you." ”

Poof.

Zhou Ting stood aside and couldn't help laughing.

It seems that Li Weiwei is fighting Ruonan.

Wait for Li Weiwei to lose his breath and return to the topic.

As the big boss of the company, Lin Tao, the head behind the scenes, naturally got a lot of applause, and also sent out a lot of group photos and autographs.

The smile is rigid.

Facial expressions are sluggish.

"Sister Weiwei, why don't we talk about it tomorrow? If you don't feel well today, I'll leave first. ”

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Lin Tao immediately wanted to slip away.

Li Weiwei's temper is not so easy to provoke, and he can't be the boss, I don't see that Wang Dongdong is still like a grandson in front of Li Weiwei.

"If you're leaving, I'm going to leave it at that. ”

Zhou Ting and the little assistant pursed their lips and smiled and poured a glass of water for the two of them and walked out, Lin Tao looked at each other a little, in front of Li Weiwei, he really didn't have to put a layer of camouflage on himself.

Looking around the office carefully, Li Weiwei's office seemed very neutral, except for the faint fragrance, there was nothing else extremely feminine in it.

"You really have nothing to do with Taylor Swift?"

Li Weiwei's face turned cold.

She did care about it.

Lin Ruonan doesn't have much contact with her, but this one hinders Li Weiwei's love for this girl.

The time she has cooperated with Lin Tao is relatively not short, so the two sides are not just a simple cooperation or the current relationship between superiors and subordinates, plus Wang Dongdong is in the middle, so Li Weiwei and Lin Tao are actually more of a very familiar friend relationship.

Hearing this question, the corners of Lin Tao's mouth couldn't help but smile a little bitterly.

What does he do with Taylor Swift?

The meme that the media broke the news is really not so pleasant.

"Nope!"

"Really?"

Li Weiwei was a little unconvinced.

Actually, this is normal.

The first time Lin Tao had a relationship with Taylor Swift was when he went to the United States for the first time to sign a contract in September, and the two were just a group photo, and then Taylor Swift posted a Quara Lintao's mood on his personal Twitter.

The second time was when the new album was launched, it was rumored that Lin Tao wrote a song for her, and the result happened to be true, so it naturally made people think of this stubble.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that in fact, these two exposures are actually the same thing, that is, Lin Tao gave Taylor Swift a song "YoubeLongwithme".

"Okay, you told Ruonan about this?"

Levivi's questions are always so straightforward.

Seeing Lin Tao nodded, his face looked a lot better.

"Recently, there are a lot of new people in the company, but I haven't signed any stars at the moment, and I plan to cultivate a group of new people through several works, what do you think?"

Newcomer?

Lin Tao hesitated for a moment, and then after thinking about it, he somewhat understood what Li Weiwei meant.

Compared with famous stars, newcomers may have a better sense of belonging, and secondly, they will not be too arrogant to cultivate themselves.

"Isn't it too slow to train new people?"

In fact, it doesn't take as long as imagined for the entertainment industry to be popular.

"It depends on whether you, a great writer, have a good script. ”

Will Lin Tao lack a script?

Apparently not.

Others have the time when Jiang Lang is exhausted, but for Lin Tao, this situation will not happen to him for at least a long time.

Don't say anything else.

In another time and space, there are at least hundreds of film and television works that have not appeared in this time and space, not to mention the massive number of literary works.

You say online articles?

Now the online literature of this time and space has just started, except for one "Zhu Xian", there are not even a few books that can be read in the entire online world, where can you find so many online works.

Of course, there are reasons for this, and not just because of the butterfly effect.

In this time and space, the country's censorship of online literature is extremely strict, and it is difficult for Lin Tao to see works that tend to be fast food and vulgar.

Even the smash hit "Zhu Xian" is stepping on the red line in some plots.

This point was deeply realized by Lin Tao when he recreated "Notes on Tomb Robbery".

"How's the progress of "The Dispute between Chu and Han"?"

Since quitting the filming of this movie, Lin Tao has not paid a lot of attention to this play, after all, he has done a lot of work from the writing of the script to the soundtrack.

It is not difficult for him to write a script, but it still takes real effort to write the soundtrack, and the talent of music is one aspect, but the basic skills are not less, otherwise even if he has thousands of good songs in his head, it is impossible to express them perfectly.

Of course, Lin Tao does not lack basic skills.

"The progress is okay, if nothing else, we only plan to launch this drama this year, and it is as a Chinese New Year film, and I also plan to talk to you about the adaptation of "Tomb Robbery Notes" when you come back this time. ”

"When are you going to shoot?"

The adaptation of "Tomb Robbery Notes" is an established plan, and Lin Tao has no objections, but compared with the film adaptation of this work, he is actually more optimistic about the TV series.

"Notes on Tomb Robbery" itself is a work of small themes, and in terms of content, the metaphysics of the organs involved and the exploration of tomb robbery are the key to attracting readers.

Lin Tao did not try to go against the ideas of the original work and hollow out his mind to innovate, any classic thing has its own reasons to become a classic, since "Notes on Tomb Robbery" can once become a fantasy work in another time and space, then there is naturally a place for success.

Of course.

A successful work is also inseparable from the impact of operation and the general environment.

When Lin Tao chose the work "Notes on Tomb Robbery", he actually saw the craze for online novels that had gradually recovered in this time and space.

In terms of hardware conditions.

The widespread use of smartphones and the rapid spread of the Internet have cultivated a large group of web readers in a very short period of time at a very frightening rate.

As early as the launch of "Kung Fu Panda", Lin Tao had actually noticed this, and took the time to analyze the trend and characteristics of fiction works in this time and space.

Sure enough, in less than two years, the readership of online novels has swelled several times, and the current situation is that the readership is getting bigger and bigger, but the supply of works is in short supply.

The reason is not difficult to understand.

One is that the strict censorship of online literary works has raised the threshold for online creation in this time and space, and it is not as free to play as in another time and space.

Another aspect, and the most important aspect, youth campus novels and martial arts novels still occupy the mainstream position, although there are a number of innovative works represented by "Zhu Xian", but as far as the current market is concerned, there is still a big gap.

"Notes on Tomb Robbery" is actually a pioneering work to some extent.

"After a year, it depends on the situation of your script. ”

"I could have given you the script years ago, but I hope you can collaborate with Disney on this work. ”

"Working with Disney? Why? There's not going to be much of a market for this kind of work in Hollywood. ”

Li Weiwei was a little surprised.

Working with Hollywood on "Tomb Robbery Notes"?

Lin Tao's proposal is indeed not very good, as far as she knows, Hollywood does not seem to welcome film works with this theme.

Explore?

Grave?

And the ancient and mysterious Eastern metaphysics?

These things seem too difficult for Westerners to understand, and there doesn't seem to be a good solution for working with Disney.

"Sister Weiwei, you don't just see the market, any market is cultivated, Disney continues to enter the Chinese market now, we will not gain anything from cooperating with them, "Tomb Robbery Notes" with our current technology is very likely to not be able to shoot the effect of the original work. ”

Lin Tao's last sentence is the right one.

If you want to shoot the special effects of "Tomb Robbery Notes" in China, it is estimated that it is really impossible, there should not be many domestic films that are relatively successful in special effects, and "Shushan Swordsman" should be regarded as one of them, but that is not a domestic technical production.

According to Lin Tao's plan, "Notes on Tomb Robbery" can actually wait a few years before filming, after all, it is difficult for both funds and technology to make this film play the market potential of its application, and it is better to delay the filming time than to waste a good script like this.

But now Li Weiwei seems to have a different idea.

"And what are your plans?"

Li Weiwei also understood what Lin Tao meant.

"Tomb Robbery Notes" is not suitable for adaptation right now!

But if that happens, there is a risk that there will be a disconnect in the filming work of the 21st Century Film Company, which is undoubtedly fatal for a new company.

A good script is not so easy to get.

"Sister Weiwei, I suggest making a few small-budget books first, the 21st Century Film Company is a new company after all, and all aspects need to be run-in, and small-budget movies should be the best choice at present. ”

Lin Tao expressed his thoughts after a little consideration.

However, Li Weiwei does not seem to have figured out the relationship between this.

Small-budget films?

With the rapid rise of 3D films, no one can guarantee that films made with small costs can achieve a good box office, and may even encounter a cold wave.

"Is the box office guaranteed?"

Levi's question is clear.

"How do you know if you haven't tried it. ”

After Lin Tao finished speaking, he had already taken out a folder from his backpack.

Li Weiwei took the letter suspiciously and opened it, and the cover of the folder was very new, and it could be seen that it should be a work that had just been completed.

"Crazy stone? is this the script?"

When she saw the title, Li Weiwei knew what Lin Tao gave herself, the title was very eye-catching: "Crazy Stone", she was a little curious about what kind of story such a nondescript title could write.

Lin Tao smiled.

"Yes, this is the script, don't look at me, watch it first. ”

When it comes to small-budget and high-box office films, "Crazy Stone" is definitely one of the best, and Lin Tao's first thought was this movie, which was too impressive.

It can be said that this kind of Chinese humor, interspersed with foreign flavors, has for the first time performed on the screen in a style that is very different from traditional Chinese films.

Of course, it was also a great success.

The only thing Lin Tao can be thankful for is that this movie did not appear in this time and space, so whether it is to get the box office or not to let this movie disappear from the audience's field of vision, Lin Tao has a reason to present it completely in front of the world.

Li Weiwei looked very seriously and quietly, but the arc of the corners of his mouth gradually lengthened, and he immediately began to laugh.

"Where did you come up with all those ideas?"

Read.

Close the script.

Li Weiwei's eyes couldn't help but have a strange figure.

"Yes. (To be continued.) )
