Chapter 57: Visit Huang Xiaochu
And the reason why it is so busy, if not because of anything else, is for the "Love Apartment" website, which was created three years ago.
That's right, now this project is favored by Shanghai Film Group, and someone specially sent someone to buy the copyright from him.
It's just that now there are two choices in front of Fang Siyi.
One is to sell all the copyrights, and this series has nothing to do with him, and even because it is wholly owned by Shangying, even if he wants to invest.
The other is to keep the copyright in your hands and then find someone to shoot it yourself.
In terms of maximizing returns, it is true that the second option is the best, but the problem is that this time Fang Siyi is a little hesitant.
This hesitation is not because of anything else, but because of hesitation.
As one of the members of the Beijing circle, even if Fang Siyi did not deliberately show anything, his body has always been marked with traces of the Beijing circle.
This trace also means that it is impossible for Shangying Group to look at him at all.
Maybe in the eyes of the other party, the other party can look at his copyright because he can afford it.
Fang Siyi laughed at himself.
It's okay to refuse, but you have to think about the implications.
Although Shangying Group doesn't have to care too much, it is too large compared to Fang Siyi, and Fang Siyi doesn't want to stiffen the relationship if it is not necessary.
Maybe in the eyes of Shanghai Film Group, Fang Siyi is just a small writer, and he may not be looked down upon by others, but if he refuses without interest......
It's like even if he is worth more than one billion, it is impossible to make a big production.
In the entertainment industry, after all, it is still about seniority, and there may be amazing and talented actors, but there is absolutely no director who has reached the sky in one step!
Some people say, do you see who has won various awards or how many box offices they have won without being a director for the first time?
Please, the person who said this must not know everything about the profession of director at all!
Although in the future generations, it has reached the point where everyone can be a director, but at this moment, in the entertainment industry, do you want to be a director?
Yes, let's go to run the field for two years, cast for three years, execute for five years, and associate director for seven years.
That is to say, even if it is the fastest, if you want to climb to the position of director and be able to attract investment, in addition to the director who is transformed into an artist, the director students who graduated from ordinary film schools want to really become a director, and if they have no connections or background, it will take more than ten years at the earliest!
In the entertainment industry, money is never the first place.
At least, in the Chinese entertainment industry, the first place is always connections!
offending Shangying Group means a series of troubles.
Obviously, for Fang Siyi today, these troubles are very tricky.
Everyone knows that the mainland entertainment industry will develop rapidly in the future, and among them, Hengdian Film and Television City will replace Beijing Film Studio as the best film and television production base in the country.
So for the sake of trouble, it's better to sell it.
But it's rare to hold everything in your hands, can you let Shanghai Film Group ruin "Love Apartment"?
To be honest, Fang Siyi was a little reluctant.
In the dream, "Love Apartment" was almost imitated by Shanghai Film Group (also known as "Friends"), although it was well received, but the word-of-mouth was polarized.
And it was also caught in a plagiarism storm for a while.
But if he writes the script of "Love Apartment" by himself, because he has the dream of Zhuyu in front of him, and he doesn't want to do that, he will inevitably end up becoming four dislikes.
What to do?
Holding that one more person means one more thing to think about, Fang Siyi told Ying Bao about it.
Then, because Ying Bao was learning acting with Huang Lei, Ying Bao asked Fang Siyi, why didn't he ask Huang Lei?
Fang Siyi was stunned and hesitated.
After all, he and Huang Lei are not familiar with each other, and it is inevitable that this kind of thing will be a little abrupt.
But later, I still went to Huang Lei's house with the idea of trying it out and asked what to do.
When Fang Siyi arrived, he was personally received by Huang Lei and his wife Sun Li.
"Sorry, there's a bit of a mess at home. "Since Huang Lei's eldest daughter Duoduo was born three years ago, Sun Li has been teaching her husband and children at home, and Fang Siyi's visit was sudden, so it is inevitable that it will be a little messy.
"Hehe, Sister Sun Li is still in style. Fang Siyi smiled and complimented.
Seeing her husband's surprised eyes, Sun Li said with a smile: "Didn't I star in "Fairy Sword" in 04? Siyi is one of the composers of the theme song of "Fairy Sword", and I came to the crew at that time, so I know each other. ”
Huang Lei said with a smile: "That's a coincidence, everyone is also a family." ”
"Thank you Mr. Huang for taking care of Yingbao. After sitting down, Fang Siyi said to Huang Lei with a smile.
"Xiaoying has a good talent, and she is willing to be pragmatic and persevering, but I want to thank Siyi for giving me such an excellent student. Huang Lei's smile like a spring breeze made Fang Siyi secretly relieved.
It seems that Yingbao is indeed deeply loved by Huang Lei.
That's fine, so you don't have to worry.
"I don't know if Siyi is here today......" Since they have a relationship between Yingbao and Sun Li, Huang Lei also decided not to hide it anymore, and asked directly curiously.
"That's right. Fang Siyi hesitated for a moment and expressed his confusion.
“…… So, Siyi is not sure whether he should let go or not?" Huang Lei made a final summary.
"Yes. Looking at Huang Lei in contemplation, Fang Siyi smiled a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I didn't think of bothering Mr. Huang, but because I really couldn't find someone who could talk deeply, I took the liberty to come to bother." ”
Since he was begging for someone, Fang Siyi's posture was very low.
"Oh, hehe, nothing. Shaking his head, Huang Lei said he didn't care.
But if he really wanted to come up with an idea, Huang Lei was a little hesitant.
After all, as Fang Siyi said, the two are general friends, and this is the first time they have met, if a suggestion is made, what if Fang Siyi regrets it at that time?
Seeing her husband's embarrassment, Sun Li smiled and beckoned the two to tea, taking advantage of the gap between the two drinking tea, Sun Li asked with a smile: "Siyi, I have a question, I don't know if you want to hear it?"
Sister Sun Li said quickly. Fang Siyi's eyes lit up, and he urged with a smile.
"That's right. After organizing the language, Sun Li smiled and asked, "The reason why you hesitate is just that you are worried that your hard work will be ruined, right?"
"Hmm. ”
"Then I have a question for you, are you sure you can really write a good script yourself?"
Huang Lei frowned and said, "What are you talking about? Isn't that Siyi's book?"
"Mr. Huang, I'm going to explain this to you. Fang Siyi smiled bitterly and said seriously: ""Love Apartment" is the theme of my book, and it is also the name of one of my apartments. Saying that, he probably talked to Huang Lei about the concept of "Love Apartment", and then said: "Therefore, although there are a lot of materials now, I don't have a specific and complete script, and Shanghai Film Group is interested in the materials in my hands, not my script." ”
"In that case, then why do you have to write it yourself?" Sun Li smiled and asked: "If I say something that you may not want to hear, can you guarantee that your script will be better than that of a professional screenwriter?"
