"I said why when I asked them about copyright, they couldn't come up with a reason, and that's what happened. If it's because of copyright issues, then don't worry, the copyright is definitely yours, and you can just talk to me, and you don't have to worry about the radio station at all. ”

After a few glasses of wine, the two also chatted, and Zhang Dai took the opportunity to say that he wanted to buy the film adaptation rights of "Passing by Your World".

Dong Guo Yao told him what happened, but he didn't expect to get such an answer from Zhang Dai.

"You're saying that the contract they signed with us has no real legal effect?"

Dong Guo Yao was stunned when he heard this.

"It can't be said that in the past, when you bought it through the radio station, the copyright of the audiobook you broadcast must be owned by the radio station. But you are a little special in this, because you are the original author and enjoy the rights of broadcasting, information network dissemination and other rights of the work, and you are a radio anchor of traffic broadcasting, of course you can use your own works. ”

"Taking a step back, if the radio station says that the story is theirs, then they need to sign a contract with the original author, and the copyright of the story is theirs after paying the manuscript fee. But the problem now is that they didn't sign a contract with you, and they didn't pay you for the manuscript, so the copyright of the story is still in your hands, and even if they go to court, it's useless, and it's impossible for them to go to this lawsuit. ”

Zhang Dai said.

When Dong Guo Yao heard this, he realized that he was fooled by Song Yicong's turtle grandson, so he said to Zhang Dai: "In other words, I can directly talk to you about the copyright of the film adaptation of "Passing by Your World" now, right?"

"Yes, I don't know if they have revealed the price we offered to you?" Hearing Dong Guo Yao's question, Zhang Dai asked directly.

"The price is easy to say, I can also license the copyright to you, but I have a request, I hope that the screenwriting of this drama will be handed over to me. Dong Guo Yao was resolute.

"What? are you still interested in screenwriting?" Zhang Dai said curiously when he heard this.

"yes, I don't really want to change my story beyond recognition. Dong Guo Yao said.

What he said was in his heart, before the earth background was revised, he had seen so many classic works that had been changed beyond recognition, and he had the urge to scold his mother. So he thought that if he had the opportunity, it would be better for the screenwriter to do this kind of thing himself.

If he hadn't done anything else, he would have ruined some of the classics of his previous life, and he would feel that he would definitely have a troubled conscience.

Zhang Dai was stunned when he heard this, he really didn't expect Dong Guo Yao to have this kind of thought, so he said: "The screenwriter of some works is indeed a hard injury, but it is not so simple for a writer to become a screenwriter. Don't look at the fact that many of the novelists are turning careers to become film and television screenwriters, in fact, many laymen read news reports that the screenwriter's value has risen, and how many tens of thousands of dollars are written in an episode, so they all squeeze their heads and want to drill into it, dreaming of becoming famous overnight, and the world knows it. ”

But in the final analysis, screenwriting is a technical job, which does not mean that the practice of "familiarity" with oil sellers can be successful. Creative skills can be cultivated, but if a person's understanding is too poor to know how to be flexible, and the established writing style is difficult to change, then it is not suitable to be a screenwriter. If you push this road, you can only exhaust yourself in the end, and you may not achieve anything in the end. ”

As soon as he said this, Zhang Dai's tone became indignant, and he said a lot, and seemed to have a lot of criticism about the writer turned screenwriter.

"What's wrong?"

Dong Guo Yao heard the resentment in his tone and asked.

"Alas, don't mention it, because of my identity, there are always many authors who tell me that they hope to give me a chance to write scripts, even if they don't need a penny, I just hope that there will be a screenwriting teacher to guide and guide. ”

"But some people are really not suitable for being screenwriters, so I kindly advised them not to blindly change careers. But in most cases, many authors don't think so, and don't say it to their faces, but behind their backs, they scold me for not giving them a chance to write scripts because I'm afraid that they will enter the industry and steal jobs?

The more Zhang Dai spoke, the more angry he became, obviously annoyed by such a thing.

"This kind of person is really angry, a typical talent is not worthy of a dream but insists on slapping a swollen face and becoming fat. Zhang Dai said this, Dong Guo Yao had encountered it a lot when he was a stand-in before, and naturally he knew that what he said was the truth.

"Who's to say it isn't. ”

Zhang Dai deeply agreed, and then changed the conversation and said, "So you really want to be a screenwriter?"

"To tell you the truth, I used to be a trickster, and if I hadn't seen that there was no hope of getting ahead, I wouldn't have turned into a radio anchor, so I was also very sad to see such a situation in the industry, and I wanted to give it a try. Dong Guo Yao said.

"Yo, I can't imagine that it's still an industry person? Listening to this tone, there are still some stories, how about it, do you mind talking about it?" Zhang Dai heard that Dong Guo Yao was also an industry insider before, and his attitude became more enthusiastic, and he asked.

"Alas...... What you don't mind, what you don't mind is already in the past. ”

Although Dong Guo Yao said so, the loneliness in his eyes could still be seen at a glance.

"Then let's talk about it, I'll listen to you!" Zhang Dai said when he saw this.

"Okay, let's talk about it. Dong Guo Yao took a deep breath, and then began to tell his story slowly over the years.

***

Half an hour later.

"I can't imagine that your star journey is so bumpy, this can be made into a movie. ”

After listening to Dongguo Yao's self-complaint, Zhang Dai couldn't help but sigh.

"yes, I feel like my life is much more exciting than my acting career. Dong Guo Yao also laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Hey, yes, make a movie! Make a movie about your experiences! We can make a movie about your experiences!"

Zhang Dai suddenly slapped on the stone table and shouted excitedly.

Dongguo Yao was stunned when he heard this, and then the name of a film popped out of his mind, the name of this film is called "The King of Comedy", Stephen Chow's classic.

Speaking of Stephen Chow, we have to mention two movies, one is "Journey to the West" and the other is "The King of Comedy".

These two movies are not only Stephen Chow's classics, but even have a pivotal position in the entire domestic film industry.

Dong Guo Yao also likes both movies, but compared to "Journey to the West", he prefers "The King of Comedy".

There is no other reason than that this movie blends tragedy and comedy, making you laugh and find yourself unconsciously shedding tears, reaching the highest level of comedy.

"The King of Comedy" adapts to the history of the struggle of the little people, and it is Stephen Chow's autobiography, but this is not Dong Guo Yao's autobiography.

So, after hearing Zhang Dai's proposal, the blood in his whole body also boiled.

"Okay! I'll write the script, and I'm guaranteed to satisfy you!" Dong Guo Yao also slapped on the stone table and said excitedly.

"Okay! What are you going to call the title of the film?"

"The King of Comedy!"

"The King of Comedy, the King of Comedy! Ha, what a King of Comedy!"

"Yes, the king of comedy!"

"Okay, just use the name, I thought it could be handled like this at first......"

"No, no, no, that's how it should be handled here......"

The two hit it off, and even entered the discussion of the script.
