Deng Zheng understood that this was being drawn to the bones.

The so-called "painting the skin of the tiger is difficult to draw the bones", the old boy Heqinsheng has a lot of kung fu, he completely understood the essence of the novel "Pingxia Film", which makes people can't bear to release the volume, and then on this basis, restructured, wrapped, polished, and filled, with his own text characteristics, new story lines, and different historical backgrounds to derive his own works.

This is certainly not plagiarism, and it is not even a reference.

It is equivalent to using the "soul", "theme", and "martial arts world view" that are very similar to "Pingxia Film" to write another book that looks completely different to ordinary people.

Sure enough, as soon as this wedge came out, the "Tinghe faction" became energetic again, and even some media commentators applauded and compared it with the wedge of "Ping Trace":

"The beginning of "Ping Trace" is bleak, tragic and stirring, but most of the historical background is explained in a dialogue, which is a little dragging and lengthy. In comparison, the beginning of "Grass Mang" has a more compact rhythm, cold and solemn, and passionate blood, which makes people beat their chests and feet, and can't bear to release the volume!

"The opening chapter of "Grass Mang" shows the style of a famous artist! This wedge alone is obviously better than "Ping Trace"!"

"The fangs of "Grass Mang" are fully displayed, Jin Liang, are you ready to take it?"

However, people in the literary circle are not all fools, especially those who make a living by commenting on other people's works, how rich is the reading experience, after the next two issues of the text came out, some people's attitudes gradually became ambiguous, and the words and phrases were relatively cautious, although they were still mostly praised, but they were also very measured, basically only focusing on the "writing**", "exquisite details", "magnificent structure", "plump and chic character building" and so on.

Because many people at a high level have gradually seen that although "Grass Mang" is much more mature and mellow than "Ping Trace" in all aspects, and the rhythm control is more compact, it is very enjoyable and wonderful to read, but its inner spiritual core is still the whole set of things created by "Ping Trace".

It's just that ordinary readers seem to buy it, and "Grass Mang" has been popular recently, and they can't say anything against the trend, so they have to hold it for the time being.

……

"What do you say, 'Little Bird Culture' is going to divest?"

Gu Weiyuan was stunned by the news brought by Jiang Zhipeng.

Jiang Zhipeng explained with a wry smile: "It's not that we want to withdraw investment, but we have greatly reduced the scale of investment. The original investment amount of 35 million yuan has been reduced to only 15 million yuan. The boss's original words are that for the sake of revenue prospects, there is only so much to give now, shoot if you can, and cut it as soon as possible if you can't. ”

Gu Weiyuan frowned and glanced at Deng Zheng, and shouted: "How can it be good, if you say that it will be cut, what is 15 million enough!"

Deng Zheng didn't care, and said with a smile: "Brother Gu, for ordinary TV dramas, 15 million is not too little." Twenty or thirty episodes of urban idol dramas, please play one-on-one line Xiao Xianrou and Xiao Huadan, it is estimated that it will not be used up. However, this money is too little for the filming of "Ping's Trace". Why, Brother Jiang, is it because "Grass Reckless Sky Eagle Record" has recently gained the upper hand and suppressed "Ping Tracer Record" in all aspects, so the 'Little Bird Culture' is starting to worry?"

Jiang Zhipeng shook his head and said, "That's not true." Although "Grass Mang" is menacing, the search ranking and thousand-degree index of the scarf topic have surpassed "Ping Trace" in the past few days, but "Ping Trace" has more than one million real physical sales, and according to the evaluation of professional institutions, the cumulative sales of the five volumes of "Ping Trace" will be more than 3 million copies, so for the TV series adaptation value and prospects of "Ping Trace" itself, "Little Bird Culture" is not particularly worried. The problem is on the TV side. ”

Deng Zheng was puzzled: "The TV station? The preliminary preparations have not been prepared, what does it have to do with the TV station?"

"Brother, you only know one thing but you don't know the other, if you want to do a good TV series, if you want to make a TV series that makes sure you don't lose money, you often have to start shouting hard when the script only has an outline. Jiang Zhipeng explained with a smile.

It turned out that after the outline of the TV drama script came out, the production company and the producer could already contact the familiar TV station with the intention of the film, that is, let the TV station pay part of the money in advance and buy the film in advance. In this way, the TV station can share a certain amount of investment risk.

Otherwise, it is only up to investors and sponsors to invest money in the crew, but once the film is filmed, the money is spent again. If you can't sell it and can't get the copyright fee, then the film will be smashed.

And the TV station also recognizes this method, because they pay the pre-purchase money, they can participate in the pre-creation, and they can even decide the list of main creators according to their own intentions, and talk about the director, actors, photography, drama affairs, lighting, costumes, etc. with the producer, so that they can also know in their hearts, which is equivalent to putting the risk of buying a film from the TV station in advance, which greatly reduces the probability of buying an unsatisfactory film.

is like Jiang Zhipeng's previous "The Legend of the Martyrs", which is in this way. Because it was favored during the creation of the script, Donghai Satellite TV and Nanguo Satellite TV each paid 6 million pre-purchase money before the start of filming, so although "Little Bird Culture" claimed to invest 40 million, the company actually took out only 28 million during filming.

And because the two TV stations really thought that this film was too good, they simply took all the local distribution and media publicity, which saved a lot of money for "Little Bird Culture".

"Little Bird Culture" produced "Ping's Trace" this time, or in this way.

Originally, relying on the excellent reputation of "The Legend of the Heroes", the new drama was directed by Jiang Zhipeng, the "gold medal director", and he had already negotiated with the three TV stations smoothly, asking them to come up with a pre-purchase of 7 million each, and then "Little Bird Culture" only paid 14 million, and this large-scale production with a planned investment of 35 million yuan could be completed.

However, in the past two days, there has been a sudden change, and the three TV stations suddenly hesitated collectively and were not willing to pay for pre-orders.

The reason for the incident was because of an opportunist named Yuzheng who shoddidly created a four-like work that martial arts is not martial arts history and history, known as "martial arts drama", and landed on the other two TV stations first, but it was cut after less than ten episodes because the ratings were too dismal. As a result, the three TV stations that were already a little hesitant about "whether martial arts are suitable for making TV series" suddenly retreated.

For a small film and television company like "Little Bird Culture", which is second- or third-tier, without the pre-purchase money of the TV station, it is too risky to independently bear a large system like 35 million!

Therefore, without negotiating, it was directly reduced to 15 million!

This is still for Jiang Zhipeng's face, if he is replaced by another director and producer, it is estimated that the project will be cut directly!

As soon as Jiang Zhipeng explained this, Deng Zheng understood it, pondered for a while, and asked: "Brother Jiang, do you think 'Little Bird Culture' will agree to accept foreign funds and jointly produce it?"
