After the filming of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood", Lin Zixuan began to work on the publication of the novel. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He was going to make two versions, one for the novel and one for the script.

Although it tells the same story, the difference between the two versions is not small, which is not to say that the director is not loyal to the original book, the film is a recreation on the basis of the original book, and the director should be allowed to have creative freedom.

This is the reason why Li Yu wants to get the adaptation rights of the novel "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

The more directors have their own ideas, the less they will be satisfied with telling stories according to the original book, they will tell their own stories.

It is normal for the final script of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" to be different from the novel.

When it comes to the original book and the film adaptation, all parties have different positions.

Readers of the original book complained that the movie did not capture the essence of the original work, and the screenwriter made it up blindly and ruined the original work.

Screenwriters and directors either complain or accuse the readers of the original book of not understanding the film, and the transition from text to image is not a simple translation process, but a re-combing and creation.

Lin Zixuan published the novel and the script together, so that readers could have a comparison, and then explain a little why they changed it like this.

It is equivalent to doing a popularization work, and readers may understand why the original book and the script are different after reading it.

Not only readers, but also writers who want to enter the entertainment industry have a certain reference role.

There is a reason why some novels are suitable for changing into screenplays, and some novels can't, and writers have figured it out, and when they write novels in the future, they will have direction and be less blind.

However, doing so may affect the book's sales.

Readers who like to read novels don't necessarily like to read scripts, and if you put the two together, the price of the book will definitely double.

Originally, the price of the novel was fifteen yuan a copy, but now it has become thirty yuan, and readers will think about whether it is worth it when they buy it.

The publisher suggested that it be released separately, so as to increase the sales of the novel, and it is difficult to say about the script, after all, it is not a person who has anything to do with the film and television industry, who will have nothing to buy the script to read.

Lin Zixuan did not agree, his original intention was to let everyone understand the difference between the novel and the script.

Moreover, the market for books like this kind of pure literature is getting narrower and narrower, and the sales are not too good in the first place, so he doesn't care much.

In other words, Lin Zixuan is a little capricious, but he now has capricious capital.

If Lin Zixuan is a newcomer and dares to make such a request, the publishing house will let him know how to write the word newcomer every minute.

Now that he holds the title of best-selling author, with tens of millions of royalties every year, it is too late for a writer publishing house like this to be encircled, so naturally he will not have a conflict because of this little thing.

What's more, the movie "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" has been filmed.

Lin Zixuan and Jiang Wen's last movie "Sunny Day" had a domestic box office of more than 50 million, which had a great impact and caused a sensation across the country.

This time, with Ge You starring, the effect will definitely be better.

The publishing house is not worried that there will be a situation where "Alive" was banned at the beginning, the plot of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" is not as sharp as "Alive", they have read both the novel and the script, and there is no big problem.

Besides, next month, Italy's Grenzana Carver Literary Prize will be announced.

Once the award is awarded, there will definitely be a sales boom of Lin Zixuan's books.

Publishing Lin Zixuan's new book at this time, no matter how you think about it, you will not suffer a loss, but you may make a lot of money, even if you can't, there is nothing wrong with maintaining a good relationship with a best-selling author.

This is the main reason why they are willing to publish "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood".

As for whether he will win the award, a reporter also interviewed Lin Zixuan by phone.

Lin Zixuan generally does not accept interviews, and those who can get his private mobile phone number are people who are more familiar, and it is difficult for him to refuse.

"It's hard to say, I heard that the Italian award is judged by middle school students, and "Alive" is a novel with a realistic theme, and the theme is a bit pessimistic, which may not be in line with the reading habits of middle school students." Lin Zixuan responded, "It's a good thing to be shortlisted, thank you for your concern." ”

"Are you going to Italy next month?" The reporter asked.

"There's a lot of work at hand lately, and it shouldn't pass." Lin Zixuan said.

This award is mainly run by a publishing house in Italy, and it doesn't matter if Lin Zixuan goes or not.

He does have something to do these days, taking advantage of the residual heat of "Latent", the next spy war drama "Borrowed Gun" of Good Dreams Company has entered the preparatory stage, and the script has passed the review and is produced by the original team.

This original cast refers to the staff behind the crew, not the original actors.

This is a matter of investment.

The huge success of "Latent" has led to a sharp increase in the salaries of Wang Zhiwen and Yan Nick and others, and Wang Zhiwen is the highest-paid actor in the domestic TV circle.

He is at the same level as Chen Daoming and Zhang Guoli, with an episode of about 50,000 yuan, and a salary of millions for 30 episodes.

Yan Nick's current salary is 9,000 per episode, and it takes hundreds of thousands to make a movie.

If the original actors are really used to act, the salaries of the actors and crew alone will account for half of the investment, and only three million will be used for filming, and the quality of the filming can be imagined, fooling the audience.

So why not boost your investment? It's not enough to invest 10 million to shoot.

Investment is risky, at present, the domestic TV industry is indeed prosperous, but there are not many TV dramas with an investment of more than 10 million, and film and television companies are considering the risk.

Especially TV series that follow the trend, this is especially true.

At this time, there is no big data and detailed market research, and film and television companies can only make a rough judgment of the market, and there is no way to achieve accurate positioning.

For example, what theme is the most popular, which star has appeal in the audience, whose fans are more cohesive, and so on.

In the era of big data, statistics and judgments can be made through the network.

Film and television companies will produce TV series based on big data, select actors, and make investment budgets.

Through the success of "Latent", Lin Zixuan believes that there is a lot of market space for spy war dramas, but he still will not invest tens of millions of dollars in filming, and the key to the success of film and television companies is to obtain the maximum profit with the smallest investment.

Lin Zixuan plans to star mainly newcomers in "Borrowed Gun", and then find some old actors to play supporting roles, and match the old and the new.

Chang'an City, Shaanxi Province, Chang'an Film Studio.

Zhang Jiayi received a call from the factory at home, saying that someone from the capital was looking for him, and he also left a phone number.

Zhang Jiayi graduated from the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy in 1991 and was assigned to Chang'an Film Studio.

As a young actor, it would be good for him to shoot one or two films a year, mainly focusing on tricks.

Write down the phone number of the capital, thank the person who called him to inform him, put down the phone, and Zhang Jiayi showed a look of memory.

He has lived in the capital for four years, and his old college days seem to be back in front of him. (To be continued.) )
