Chapter 240: The Real Next Play
The broadcast of "East Love" is getting better and better at this time.
The emotional entanglements of the four main characters are tied to each other like a mess, which affects all viewers who watch this TV series.
A thousand people and a thousand faces are a very common feature of a good work, and the same is true of Dongai, some people hate Maruko's cowardice, some people say he is stupid, and you don't want to say that Rika is so good.
The same is true for Rika and Satomi and even Mikami, their choices, their every struggle is discussed by everyone.
Like Fan Xiaoqian, although she had read the script long before the TV series started filming, when it was broadcast, she still watched the third uncle's work, and she had her own understanding of all the characters in the TV series.
Wen Zhen and Wen Jia are the same, when the three of them get together, they will be discussed at every turn because of their different understandings of the roles, the subtle thing is that in the previous situation, Fan Xiaoqian was often the one who won the victory, not only Fan Cheng and the Fan family let her, Wen Zhen Wenjia is even the same, but after some things happen, the situation has changed, Wen Jia may not be fine, Wen Zhen is not so easy to admit defeat to Fan Xiaoqian.
Of course, this will not make a big change in their relationship, the two girls are still good friends, but there is more competition between them.
The filming of this drama has also entered the final stage, and Fan Cheng's work has begun to think about what to do next in addition to filming.
"Midnight Bell" and "The Grudge" He will only provide scripts and investment, horror movies are a good start, but there is no need to make any more for Fan Cheng now, although it is only a horror movie, but Fan Cheng actually attaches great importance to these two works.
These are two extremely good, in the horror of this can be called a scared death movie, the movie caused a great repercussion when it was broadcast in Japan, spread to the Chinese side, and even caused a great trend on Hong Kong Island that year, as for in China...... There is no classification system in Fan Cheng's Chinese film industry, and the vast majority of audiences eventually saw this movie through pirated DVDs and the like.
The high quality of these two films can almost be said to have successfully created a new era of Japanese-style horror films, and later around these two films, sequels and adaptations from other countries have been continuously launched, which has also made the original company make a lot of money.
When it comes to Japanese horror films, these two works are absolute masterpieces, and although the follow-up of the works has been criticized, and even the production company has gone bankrupt and unsustainable, there is no doubt that at least the first of the two works is absolutely excellent and amazing.
In addition, these two works are equally successful in Europe and the United States, maybe there will not be too high numbers at the box office, but the extremely high degree of dissemination, especially the iconic girl who climbed out of the TV and the pale little boy of the two works are almost well-known in Europe and the United States, and it is very likely to enter the European and American film markets with these two works.
As for "Battle Royale", although this movie will definitely be released in Europe and the United States, Fan Cheng is not very optimistic about the box office, after all, it is a work from Asia, and if he wants to become popular in Europe and the United States, unless the quality itself is extreme, Europeans and Americans are not very interested in watching things "from backward regions".
Filming Dong Ai and building a crew for two horror movies, in addition to these two things, there are also Sihai Records, he and Fan Xiaoqian and others released albums, these things are all going on at the same time, as for the next movie he personally shot, in the company's internal meeting, Fan Cheng took out a book.
"This book is the movie I'm going to shoot next, which of you have seen it?" asked Fan Cheng.
"Poirot? Murder on the Orient Express? What is it?"
"Is it reasoning?"
"Really!?This book has become quite popular in the past two years, third uncle, have you bought the adaptation rights of this book?"
"Is it that powerful?" someone asked.
"You don't know, this writer named Poirot is a very popular reasoner in the past two years, and there is even a saying that he is the Sherlock Holmes of the East, and his series of reasoning, including the Poirot series, the Galileo series and the wise series, are all very popular, and there has never been such a powerful reasoner in the history of China. ”
"Since he is so popular, his adaptation rights should be sought after by many people, right?"
At that time, of course, as early as a year ago, it was said that a company had contacted the publisher to try to adapt Poirot, but the publisher refused without hesitation. ”
"Why?"
So far, Poirot has been in contact with the publishing house through a single line on the Internet, he has not been interviewed at all, nor has he appeared at all, it is particularly mysterious, as for the adaptation right, the publisher also mentioned it when he contacted him but was categorically refused, third uncle, how did you buy the adaptation rights of his works?"
"You don't need to buy the adaptation rights of his works, you can shoot them directly. Fan Cheng said.
"Shoot directly, no, no, no, the third uncle can't do this!"
"Yes, don't we look for death if we shoot directly without copyright?"
"Who says there's no copyright?"
"Then third uncle, you bought the copyright?"
"No, and there is no need. ”
"That's not going to work. ”
"I said okay. ”
"Third uncle, you still bought the copyright, right?"
"I said I don't have to buy it. ”
"But ......"
"Poof!" In the end, Wen Jia on the side couldn't stand it, she patted Fan Cheng and said: "Okay, don't make trouble, this Poirot is him, shoot his own works, what copyright to buy." ”
"Ga?" Everyone in the conference room looked at Wen Jia and Fan Cheng in surprise, and the words that came out of the mouths of the two bosses of the company seemed to freeze everyone.
"Poirot!?is the third uncle!?" A member of the company who has been introducing Poirot as a writer just now, who seems to be obviously a mystery fan, stood up in surprise, pointed at Fan Cheng without any image and asked, she looks very rude, Fan Cheng is her boss, how can she point so directly at people, but no one blames her at this time, Fan Cheng also looked at her with a smile, this girl is obviously a real fan of Poirot, Fan Cheng can even see the periphery of Poirot's works hanging on her sleeve, and she can't be angry with people who like her no matter what.
What followed was a burst of explanations and introductions.
"Poirot, that is, the third uncle's debut in the past few years, is the most famous for his many works and strong desire to create, three series of works, each series has accumulated a circulation of more than one million words, third uncle, how did you do it? Three series of millions of words, just typing takes a lot of time!?" asked the little fan in the company.
Indeed, Fan Cheng publishes traditional paper book works rather than the Internet, and is a reasoner who has only published a total of more than four million words in about three years, especially when it comes to Fan Cheng, who usually does not delay his work at all, and is singing, making TV series and movies, it is even more difficult to understand the speed of the third uncle.
"Actually, I have two exclusive typists, both of whom have signed non-disclosure agreements with me, and if I need them, I will find them, and then I will dictate them, and they will type. Fan Cheng explained.
The little fan nodded and accepted Fan Cheng's statement, everyone is quite accustomed to the magic of the third uncle, as long as the third uncle says that he can do something, everyone will soon believe it and follow him without hesitation.
She went on to introduce the work: "If you want to say that Poirot's series, in addition to the speed of release, the quality of the works is also very famous, and among them, although the Galileo series and the wise series are very good, the Poirot series is obviously the best, and among the Poirot series, "Murder on the Orient Express" is the most famous. ”
"Third uncle, this is really written by you?" "Murder on the Orient Express"! Actually, I don't think it's necessary to adapt this directly, because everyone doesn't know much about pineapples, so they may not be able to understand the choice of pineapples!"
"Okay, don't talk about that yet, he's already settled. Wen Jia glanced at the little book lover, the majesty in his eyes made people tremble slightly, Fan Cheng's company, with Fan Zheng and Wen Jia as the leaders in administration, Fan Zheng has great potential in management, Wen Jia has been trained in the family since she was a child, and when needed, she can show her strength.
The little book fan obviously got carried away at the meeting because he liked the Poirot series too much, Fan Cheng was a little embarrassed to say anything at this time, after all, people really like themselves, but Wen Jia, who understood it, immediately stood up and curbed the signs of the topic being taken away.
Fan Cheng wrote three series of mystery works, Poirot series from Agatha Christie, wise series from Edogawa Ranbu, Galileo series from Keigo Higashino, these three people's works are not all suitable for film and television adaptation, especially the works of two Japanese writers, even if they are adapted, at most they are ordinary ordinary movies, and "Murder on the Orient Express" It's different, this work has been loved by the traditional literary community since its release, and the humanity and philosophy contained in the work are commendable, even not only in the Chinese-speaking circle, but also in the European and American circles, the Poirot series is also quite popular, the so-called secret room suspense, who started this type of creation may be worth studying, but the secret room suspense is carried forward here by Agatha Christie There is no doubt that although the work has only been released for a few years, the carefully translated Poilo series has achieved good sales in Europe and the United States.
Fan Cheng knows very well that "Murder on the Orient Express" is destined to be a classic, and since the work came out, there have been countless adaptations from all over the world, and a version will appear almost every few years, which shows its popularity as a classic literature.
is different from "Battle Royale", and different from the TV series he has filmed before, to make this work, the selection of people is very important.
Who is Detective Poirot going to choose?
The success of this candidate is, to a certain extent, a representative of whether the work can be successful.
Because in Fan Cheng's plan, Poirot is not just a work for one person, if you really want to develop this series seriously, there is a TV series called "Detective Poirot", from 1989 to 2013, if the entertainment channel wants to do it, you can make this work into a signature series of works on the entertainment channel.
Poirot is a person, who is about 1.6 meters tall in the description of the original work, with green eyes in the egg shape, a perfect mustache, exquisite clothes and leather shoes, and a little old man with a habit of cleanliness, of course, Poirot in Fan Cheng's version will not be this image, but on the whole, it is actually about the same, if possible, Fan Cheng actually hopes that Chen Daoming will play this role, but this is almost impossible.
Chen Daoming is said to have the ability to play all the roles as Chen Daoming, but this is not a bad word but a good word, some comments say that this is called a time-traveling acting, I play this role, I think this role should be what he is, so everyone is me, I play myself, I am myself, is there a defect in the acting skills?
Fan Cheng knows very well that if Poirot is given to him and he is willing to continue to accept Poirot as the protagonist for many years, he will become Poirot's spokesperson, and even in the future, when he steps down from this role, others will be invisibly influenced by Poirot when they play Poirot again.
It's a pity that this is almost impossible.
He is also the first brother in the mainland, he is very busy in time, and there is a lot of other work to be done in addition to filming, and even in terms of filming, with his position, there must be many scenes that cannot be pushed or pushed, so it is impossible for him to hang the little time left on a work for more than ten years.
Of course, even if Fan Cheng knows very well that it is almost impossible to invite him to play, the efforts that should be done still have to be done.
In addition to the selection of talents, "Murder on the Orient Express" will also be the first work produced by Fan Cheng and Dongbao Film and Television to introduce external investment.
Although Fan Cheng and Dongbao are not short of money, what he and his company lack is power and relationship.
For example, with Fan Cheng's plan, this movie and the previous two horror films must enter the foreign market, but Fan Cheng and the entire founders group, even in the Chinese-speaking region, are still just a shallow nouveau riche company, let alone Europe and the United States, so there must be good relationships and good investors there.
Fan Zheng is no longer in China these days, he has been in Europe and Hollywood recently, he has the scripts and shooting plans of two horror films in his hands, and he will talk about the broadcast plans of the first two films in Europe and the United States on the Dongbao side.
The broadcast of these two movies in Europe and the United States must have been very small-scale at the beginning, maybe Fan Zheng could only sign some contracts for Chinese cinema chains in the end, but Fan Cheng is not in a hurry, the quality of the two horror films is absolutely excellent, once it starts to be screened, it will definitely scare the urine of European and American audiences, and then it will be the time for the two works "Midnight Bell" and "Curse" to exert their box office capabilities.
