Chapter 129: The first contact with Ni Mad
Whether it is a novel, a movie, or the Internet, it is Wang Ming's means on the road to success, it may be difficult, but you always have to try, don't you? Although his career has just started, relying on the advantage of foresight, it is easy to be the richest man in China, and it is only a matter of a few investments to be the richest man in the world in name, so all this can not satisfy Wang Ming, and he breeds greater ambitions.
What kind of man likes women, a man who focuses on doing things, a man who is ambitious, a man who carries the sky on his shoulders! There is no doubt that the man standing in front of Shi Yuhuan at this time is such a man, so she sank! If a few days ago it was a sinking of her body, today is the sinking of her soul.
Wang Ming is not worried that what he said will be leaked, because Shi Yuhuan is different from those little girls, she is a mature woman, such a woman knows what is the best choice for them!
As crazy as it may seem, the benefits are not long in coming. When she went to visit Ni Mad the next day, Shi Yuhuan no longer had any objections, and she was no longer wearing colored glasses, because she knew that Ni Mad was just a tool on Wang Ming's road to success.
"Mr. Ni, it's a pleasure to meet you, I like your novels very much!" Wang Ming didn't hold it up, he was very modest, giving people a feeling of seeing Ni Mad as an idol, which made Ni Mad very happy!
At this time, Ni Mad is almost seventy years old, although he is still writing novels, he has not written much, and he has long since lost the speed of writing 10,000 words when he was young! And most of this kind of old people like to carry young people, of course, they are young people who can be valued by them, but there are not many of them!
It just so happened that Wang Ming's work was written as a suspense detective novel, and it was written about love, which was valued by Ni Mad ! If Wang Ming writes about martial arts or science fiction, maybe it's a different situation, Ni Mad doesn't have a particularly good attitude towards people who compete with him for jobs!
"Xiao Wang, your novel is very well written! In particular, the incompetence and inaction of the police are vividly expressed, which is my favorite side! The police in the mainland are like that, but fortunately you set the novel in Hong Kong, if it were in the mainland, there would be no chance of publication! Ni said wildly.
Wang Ming and Shi Yuhuan looked at each other and smiled, sure enough, he would never forget to criticize the mainland government! Fortunately, there is no literary prison now, otherwise the first person to be arrested will be Ni Mad , and based on his remarks, it is not too much to shoot a hundred times!
"Mr. Ni, I came today to thank you for helping me write the preface, and I still have some things I want to ask you!" Wang Ming said.
Ni laughed wildly and said, "Oh, let's hear it! ”
"I have a new work, I have written a quarter, and I want you to correct it!" Wang Ming said.
"New novel, show me it!" Ni Mad became interested.
Wang Ming turned on the computer he brought, flipped to the novel he wrote and let Ni read it! This doesn't matter, which surprised Ni Mad that the style is diametrically opposed to the previous book, especially the conspiracy theories involved in it make him want to stop! It's simply well written!
"Good, very well written!" Ni Mad couldn't help but applaud.
Wang Ming said tentatively: "Do you see if this novel can be changed into a movie!" To tell you the truth, I wanted to put both of these novels on the big screen, but I could write novels, but I didn't write a script! I don't know how to write it, so I specially asked you for advice! ”
Ni Mad showed a relaxed expression, with Wang Ming's writing skills, he couldn't point out, and he couldn't find any problems with the two novels! Even his books are difficult to have such a strong sense of logic, which makes Ni Mad feel very embarrassed and even a little jealous!
But Wang Ming's self-exposure and asking him for the script made him feel a sense of accomplishment! Ni has written more than 100 movie scripts, which is something he is proud of, and even a few years later, he won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards!
"A script is not the same as a novel!" Ni opened his mouth and came and talked endlessly, Wang Ming looked like he was humbly asking for advice, which completely satisfied his vanity!
Originally, Ni Mad rarely kept people for dinner, but today he broke the convention and invited Wang Ming to stay for dinner, Wang Ming naturally would not refuse such a good opportunity and took the opportunity to deepen his relationship with Ni Mad .
After lunch and tea, Wang Ming said tentatively: "Mr. Ni, what do you think of my last work being adapted into a novel?" If I could, I'd like to ask you to help me adapt my novel into a screenplay! ”
Ni Mad was puzzled: "You really want to make a movie!" ”
Wang Ming nodded and said: "I have this idea, I also talked to Liu Dehua about this matter a few days ago, and I want to invite him to play the leading role in it!" ”
is no stranger to Liu Dehua and Ni Mad, two years later, his blue-blooded man was put on the big screen, and it was Ni Madness who designated Liu Dehua to star! Wang Mingzhi said this, Ni Mad would be very satisfied!
Sure enough, Ni Mad nodded and said, "Andy's age to play this protagonist is quite suitable!" But before your novel is published, do any film companies dare to be interested? ”
Wang Ming said: "It's me who wants to shoot this story!" Mr. Ni, I think you feel the same way, putting the story you wrote on the big screen, as if this work has life! ”
"Not bad!" Ni Mad frowned and said: "Making movies is a money-burning thing, I also opened a film company back then, and invested in a few steps of movies, but the effect was not very good!" ”
Wang Ming said in a resolute tone: "I plan to use the royalties to make this movie, and I also ask Mr. Ni to help!" ”
"That's it!" Ni Mad looked at Wang Ming, as if he saw himself when he was young and wanted to put the novel on the big screen at all costs, and couldn't help but soften his heart and said: "I'll help you!" ”
"Ah, Xie Lu, Teacher Xie Ni!" Wang Ming said excitedly.
Ni Mad shook his head and said, "Don't be too happy, it's not free!" ”
"Of course, I'll pay the market price!" Wang Ming knew that Ni Mad was originally very rich, but before Jiuqi, he was worried that the mainland would liquidate and go to Canada, because he was not used to life, and some immigrants came back! After a toss, the money was almost spent, and the money was not abundant. wrote the preface to his book, and also received money from Sanlian Publishing House, otherwise it would not be so happy.
Wang Ming doesn't care about money, what he wants is Ni Mad fame, think about this movie Ni Mad screenwriter, starring Liu Dehua, looking for director Du Qifeng, wouldn't it be an instant hit? I will become famous in the entertainment industry at once, it is not anyone's work, and the movies of any film company can find so many big names!
However, although Ni Mad is short of money, it is difficult to speak, if it is not preconceived, it is difficult to agree to Wang Ming! You must know that Lu Dao Ni Mad is the kind of person who doesn't serve as a screenwriter after selling the copyright, and he never asks how to adapt, but you can imagine how difficult it is to do this!
Coming out of Ni Mad's house, Wang Ming was a little disappointed, he didn't see Zhou Huimin, and thought he could see that ageless face! It's not surprising if you think about it carefully, Zhou Huimin lives with Ni Zhen, how can he live here! The odds of running into it are just too small.
"Didn't get what you wanted?" Shi Yuhuan saw that Wang Ming was a little lost.
Wang Ming shook his head and said, "No! The basic purpose has been achieved, Ni Mad agreed to be the screenwriter and change the script, this is a good start! With him as the screenwriter, the chances of asking Liu Dehua to star are even greater! And it will also attract media attention! ”
"But I think you're lost?" Shi Yuhuan said.
Wang Ming smiled and said, "I thought I could meet Ni Zhen and his wife here!" They are all celebrities in the entertainment industry, and it is especially beneficial for me to get in touch with them in the future! Especially Ni Zhen, he is a famous merry talent, and it is easier to do what he likes than Ni Zhen! ”
"I see! So what to do? Shi Yuhuan said.
Wang Ming said: "It's okay, I didn't see it this time, I'll see it if I come a few more times!" You must know that Ni Mad is one of the four great talents in Hong Kong, and this door is not so easy to enter! The other three have a very big influence in the entertainment industry, and it is difficult for ordinary people to know them, but we have this opportunity now! ”
"Ahh So you only show him 100,000 of the Da Vinci code, and don't show him the ones written in the back! Shi Yuhuan said.
Wang Ming smiled and said, "Not bad! I'm going to leave myself an excuse for my next visit, don't you see that he's actually more anxious than me? But he can't urge the draft, so what should he do if he loses his identity as a great writer? He only had to adapt my book into a screenplay as soon as possible! ”
"I see, I found you so cunning!" Shi Yuhuan said.
Wang Ming said: "I can't help but be cunning when dealing with these old foxes, in fact, if I have the opportunity, I want to know Huang Zhan, but he has cancer and his life is short!" ”
Shi Yuhuan exclaimed: "Cancer? ”
"Well, Huang Zhan doesn't have a few years to live! His entanglement with the entertainment industry is deeper than Ni Mad , Jin Yong is detached from the world, and Cai Lan is even more difficult! Wang Ming shook his head helplessly.
Shi Yuhuan said bitterly: "I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with Hong Kong and can't help you!" However, I am happy to be on the list of you in China, many celebrities publish books through us, if you are interested, I can introduce you! ”
Wang Ming looked at Shi Yuhuan in surprise: "Yes, why didn't I think of it!" ”
"When I return to Shenzhen, I'll find an opportunity to contact a party, and you can come to attend when the time comes! The gunmen who published these books were actually arranged by us, and they have always maintained a relatively close relationship with me! Shi Yuhuan said.
Wang Ming said: "Great! Those who can publish books in the mainland are stars with a certain status! When I go back, I'll set up an entertainment company as soon as possible, and if I can dig up a few, it would be great! ”
Shi Yuhuan nodded and said, "Well, I have the handle they left behind when they published the book, I can give it to you if you need it!" What these stars care about most is fame, and there is no guarantee that they will join your company, but there should be no big problem in getting them involved in the movies and TV series you invest in! ”
Wang Ming said: "That's enough!" The suspect's dedication to making a movie must have mainland actors, so that it can be released in China, otherwise it will be difficult to pass the approval hurdle alone! ”
"If I approve it, I can think of a way!" Shi Yuhuan said: "You know, in fact, many books cannot be published according to domestic requirements, which requires our public relations!" The General Administration of Publication and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television have overlapped many actions, and so have the personnel, and I have a thick network of relationships over the years, which can be used by all. But these people are more ruthless and want more! ”
"Money is not an issue!" Wang Ming said.
Shi Yuhuan said with a smile: "It is the most difficult thing to get money from others, but you always say that money is not a problem, don't forget that you still have more than 20 million loans!" ”
"Hehe, I'll have a lot of money in my account by the end of August!" Wang Ming said in a low voice: "The reason why I am in a hurry to set up an entertainment company to make a movie is that I want to launder this money, and I don't want to be found out!" ”
"How much is it, isn't it enough to launder in the name of royalties?" Shi Yuhuan said.
Wang Ming shook his head and said, "It's too much!" At least a few hundred million yuan, it is the easiest and fastest to wash the white through movies! ”
