Jin Bo's voice seemed to be a little agitated.

"There should be no problem with the book, but in the handling of some details,It may need to be slightly modified.。 ”

"No? Why not?"

"If you don't participate in the adaptation of the script yourself, then we will definitely be too late, so what if I find someone to adapt it?"

Jin Bo frowned slightly.

There is no problem with the copyright on the author's side, but what is more tricky now is that the manuscript at hand is done by himself, and obviously does not fully express what he wants to shoot.

So he actually wanted to invite the author of the original book to participate in the adaptation, but unfortunately, the other party didn't have enough time to do this recently.

The crew has no problem with the time, but if it is postponed, it will be a little too late.

Hanging up the phone, Jin Bo hesitated for a while.

"Director Jin, I have a suggestion. ”

Assistant Liang Weibing said.

"You say. ”

"If you're going to find someone to revise the script, I think it's better to find someone to rewrite it. ”

Jin Bo frowned slightly.

That's not a good idea.

Finding someone to rewrite it now is tantamount to overturning and starting over, and there will definitely be some impact on the schedule, and most importantly, finding someone to adapt the script itself is not a very simple matter.

"This won't work, where can I find someone nowβ€”wait!"

Jin Bo's heart jumped suddenly.

Seeing the happy appearance of Liang Weibing in front of him, he seemed to understand what he meant.

"You mean to ask Lin Tao to write it?"

"Yes!"

Liang Weibing did think so.

Jin Bo was a little hesitant for a moment.

This is a good idea, if you want to let someone else write it, he is really a little worried, but if it is Lin Tao, then it is another matter.

If you want to say that the quality of Lin Tao's adapted script is not up to par, then who believes it?

It's a little confusing!

I forgot about this stubble, this time I invited Lin Tao over to match the theme song of the TV series, but I didn't expect that I forgot his identity as a writer.

Compared with his talent in lyrics and composition, Lin Tao is famous as a writer.

The other side.

Lin Tao was indeed fascinated.

In fact, he has not read the original book of the TV series "Snail House", although it is very popular.

But this did not affect his impression of this TV series.

So after getting the script in Jin Bo's hand, Lin Tao almost quickly recalled the picture of the TV series in his mind. A good script undoubtedly has a strong sense of picture, of course, a director's shooting angle is also very important, Jin Bo's directing ability is beyond doubt, but the impression of the original drama of "Snail House" does not seem to be based on the script in hand.

Lin Tao was still a little puzzled after pondering for a while.

Incorrect script?

No way.

The plot and characters in the script are not much different from what he remembers, but if this is a script, then Lin Tao will definitely not believe it.

As a matter of fact.

He guessed correctly, and Jin Bo was not satisfied with this script.

He showed Lin Tao that it was only the first draft, and there was only such a draft at present.

The work "Snail House" is a new work that has just come out two years ago, and Jin Bo has cooperated with the author of the original work several times before, and the results are not bad.

But unlike the previous two works, Jin Bo has high hopes for this work.

So the requirements are naturally different, he wants to make the whole shooting work as perfect as possible, but after several revisions, the current draft seems to have never reached the original idea.

Lin Tao can actually see some traces of revision, but how to say it, if the person who revised this manuscript can deduce it from the entire original work, he will naturally find some problems.

But apparently the adapters didn't do that.

Stand up.

Walked around the house.

The temperature of the air conditioner was a little low, but Zhou Ting seemed to have fallen asleep on the sofa opposite, and the slight snort was difficult to detect if she didn't pay attention.

Tidying up the coat on her body and putting it on her, Zhou Ting moved but didn't wake up, just changed her posture and continued to nap.

Lin Tao continued to sit down and look at it, and began to take a pen and sketch it on the script.

This change has been changed all morning.

During this period, except for Liang Weibing, who came to pour tea for Lin Tao a few times, no one came in, Zhou Ting seemed to notice something strange when she woke up, and her face couldn't help but blush a little when she saw the coat draped on her chest.

On the other side, Lin Tao is not completely finished.

waited until nearly 12 o'clock, Jin ** opened the door and walked in, and saw that the young man was still sitting on the edge of the desk with his arm pestle, writing and drawing on paper.

I couldn't help but have some thoughts in my heart.

"Jin Dao. ”

"Assistant Zhou, he's been watching here all along?"

"Hmm. ”

Jin Bo hesitated for a moment before he sighed.

"Seeing Lin Tao like this, I finally understand how he achieved such a high achievement at this age, and any success is not accidental. ”

"Jin Dao. ”

"Hahaha, how is it? I didn't make any noise to you, but you see it's already 12 o'clock, should we eat first and then talk?"

Lin Tao just put down his pen.

Hearing Jin Bo's words, he was startled when he looked at his watch.

12 o'clock does not matter.

The point is that he has an urgent need to urinate.

In the stunned expressions of Jin Bo and Zhou Ting, Lin Tao rushed out of the door almost in three steps and two steps, but suddenly ran back and asked: Director Jin, where is the toilet here?

Demonic pointed in a direction.

Jin Bo and Zhou Ting watched in amazement as Lin Tao lifted his pants and ran in the direction of the toilet, and then laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist.

"He's like that, too?"

The depression in Jin Bo's stomach was suddenly swept away.

This man.

I just can't stand the teasing.

Everyone thinks that celebrities live in the clouds, but in fact, they are not?

Jin Bo himself can be regarded as a well-known person, but he knows very well that this star is also a human being, and he also needs to eat, drink and Lazar, by the way, and have an urgency to urinate.

Zhou Ting covered her mouth, her face flushed a little.

"It's okay. ”

Jin Bo didn't speak, but sat down on the office chair where Lin Tao was sitting just now, and flipped through the manuscript, to his surprise, this manuscript, which originally seemed very clean, was densely covered with black lines, circles or forks.

He only flipped through a few pages and found that it was already full of small letters.

What shocked him was that these things written by Lin Tao actually had a strong sense of picture, as if the TV camera was unfolding in his head, extremely smooth and not jerky, and the most terrifying thing was that what he wrote turned out to be what he wanted to express but could not express.

What a shock!

"Great!"

"It's better to sigh to yourself, it's better to sigh to yourself!"

Kim Bourbon began to clapped as if no one was there.

"Jin Dao, what are you?"

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay. ”

Jin Bo was a little excited.

Lin Tao's manuscript undoubtedly made him determined.

Hardworking people are always favored.

In fact, Lin Tao is much more diligent than Jin Bo imagined.

How many writers do you publish two books a year?

100,000? Or 10,000?

It will definitely not be lower than 10,000, or even more.

But if you put it another way.

How many authors have published two works with tens of millions of sales a year?

This should be one of the few numbers, not none, but definitely not a lot.

So if you publish two works that sell tens of millions of books in one year and win the National Book Award, how many writers will be there?

No doubt.

Except for Lin Tao, there is no semicolon except for this one.

Had lunch.

After Lin Tao returned to the office again, as soon as Jin Bo spoke, he hesitated.

Adapted script?

It's not that hard.

And he also has some ideas of his own.

If according to Zhou Ting's plan, his entry into the entertainment industry seems to be a given thing, but it is just a matter of time, but the complexity of the entertainment industry is far from the level where it is enough to write a few books by himself.

With their own temperament.

Since you do it all over again, it's best to do it, if you go into the entertainment industry and mix it up, it's probably better not to get involved.

So when Jin Boti made this suggestion, Lin Tao immediately thought of how to benefit himself the most in this process.

This is not selfishness, but a rational consideration.

"I'm really impressed by your talent, I just flipped through the book, and you've made some changes, right?"

Lin Tao nodded, he naturally knew that Jin Bo must have seen it.

"In that case, then you can adapt it completely, and you should do my old Jin a favor. ”

"Mr. Jin, if that's the case, how can the adaptation right be calculated?"

Zhou Ting naturally cut into this problem.

As Lin Tao's assistant, she naturally wouldn't seem too abrupt and utilitarian in asking this question, and Jin Bo naturally understood this.

"Gui Lin Tao, since it was adapted by him, it is naturally his name, I think there will be no objection to this. ”

Since Jin Bo has already said so, Zhou Ting naturally doesn't need to ask more, now it depends on Lin Tao's choice.

"Director Jin, I can promise to adapt this story for you, but I'm not sure if I won't have time for this, but I have a suggestion, if you trust me, you can start filming at the same time as I changed it. ”

"Is it too late to change and shoot at the same time?"

As a veteran director, Jin Bo immediately understood Lin Tao's idea, in fact, this approach is not uncommon, but there are not many in China, and foreign TV series, especially those in the United States, basically follow this path.

Jin Bo didn't say yes right away.

After leaving the entertainment group.

Lin Tao and Zhou Ting did not rush back to Dongda immediately, but flew to the United States again immediately after, because "Game of Thrones" was finally about to be released.

As a brand-new work set in the Western world, "A Song of Ice and Fire" basically follows the content of the original book in terms of the structure of the story and the description of the characters, but he has made some subtle changes in some details, especially the once criticized storyline.

Especially in the overall background description, Lin Tao described the framework of the entire Westeros continent more clearly, with more magical elements, and borrowed some techniques from "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" from the construction of character relationships, and began to enlarge the foundation of the entire continent on the original basis, and wrote the shadow of the East.

As a complete magical novel, compared with the original work, Lin Tao's writing style is more humane, rather than the cold tone of the original work.

Meantime.

As an unfinished novel.

Lin Tao happily gave it a relatively perfect ending, of course, the whole work was changed by Lin Tao into a trilogy and three prequels, and this time it was released, which was the first "War of the Kings of Game of Thrones".

Disney has signed a publishing agreement with Lin Tao before, so this time Lin Tao has to participate in a live sales ceremony, and there is nothing else for him.

So when Lin Tao appeared at the book launch ceremony of a five-star hotel in Hollywood on October 5, the Hollywood media seemed to find that this Chinese was really too good at playing.

In addition to books, movies and music, they wondered if the Chinese had any other means to conquer Hollywood.

"Lin, may I ask if you and Miss Taylor Swift are in a relationship?"

"Lin, will your new book be a big seller?"

"Lin, do you have any plans to join the entertainment industry?"

Compared to the domestic media, the media in the United States is just as annoying.

Of course, there is also a welcome invitation, which is from the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, but this invitation is mostly tentative.

The 81st Academy Awards will not be held until February of the following year, and Lin Tao also guessed what they meant, just to confirm whether he has the intention to participate.

After all, if he is rejected, then I am afraid that he will not be the one who will lose face at that time.

The Oscars have always been contemptuous of Chinese to Asians, and in the history of the Oscars, the number of awards given to Chinese is very rare.

Lin Tao was able to get this invitation, one is because he is the screenwriter of "Kung Fu Panda" and the main creator who participated in the dubbing.

On the other hand, because his next work has been finalized with Disney to continue to make a sequel to "Kung Fu Panda", there is no doubt that Hollywood can't avoid this problem.

However, Lin Tao is also self-aware, with "Kung Fu Panda", he will definitely not win the Oscar, and there are very few projects that animated films could have competed for, and the Oscar award for Best Animated Film in his memory was taken away by "Robot Wall-E", and "Kung Fu Panda" only won one nomination.

In this way, it is at most a day trip, so whether he goes to participate or not turns out to be a soy sauce scene.

So after refusing the invitation of the Oscar organizer without hesitation, Lin Tao took Zhou Ting back to China.

This time, he has completely handed over the issue of the new book release to Disney, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

There is another thing he has to think about now, and that is the copyright issue of "Notes on Tomb Robbery".

Just at the beginning of the holiday, Li Weiwei had already talked to him about this issue, and "Notes on Tomb Robbery" had officially ended.

The sales performance of this work in China was not very satisfactory at first, compared to "Kung Fu Panda" and "Love Apartment", but in the second half of this year, it suddenly made a comeback, and so far, it has sold nearly 30 million copies.

With a sudden surge in sales, Li Weiwei naturally turned his attention to the copyright issue of this work. (To be continued.) )
