Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Stewardess

Bidding farewell to Convoy Lei Taoquduo and others, He Mu got on the plane home, this time not to go back to the capital, but to his hometown, where Xiao Fang had already sent a photography team to wait for him.

At the same time as He Mu went home, Xiao Fang invited Li Wenhua in a quiet tea room.

"Mr. Xiao," Li Wenhua stretched out his hand and shook Xiao Fang's hand together, it was the first time he had come to such an elegant place, he felt that it was quite suitable for his identity as a cultural businessman, and he could come often in the future, "This place is good, come often?" ”

Xiao Fang smiled: "It's the first time I've come, it's just a vassal elegance, I heard that many people in the literary circle like to come here, so I asked Mr. Li here, and I'm satisfied." ”

"If half a year ago, I should have preferred places like bars, but now, I like it here, quiet," Li Wenhua sniffed the tea in his hand, "and it is fragrant." Since his father's incident, Li Wenhua has become a lot more stable, and his temperament has also changed a lot.

Xiao Fang nodded, sure enough, he was the leader of the cultural people, and he first expressed his gratitude to Li Wenhua: "Those photos are really thank you, with them, we will not be so passive." ”

Li Wenhua waved his hand: "With the relationship between me and Muzi, I will see the outside world, and Mr. Xiao has already said thank you that day, so don't say it again, let's talk about business." ”

"It's good," Xiao Fang returned to the topic, "The company hopes to get the film and television adaptation rights of "The Days of Living with a Flight Attendant", and I hope that Mr. Li will help contact the author of this book." ”

Li Wenhua smiled, "Mr. Xiao may not know yet, the author has already authorized the adaptation of this book to the agent of Tiandi Xuanhuang, and I can make the decision to talk to Mr. Xiao about this business." ”

"Oh, that's great," Xiao Fang's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, "Brother Wenhua must be merciful, my company is just a small business, this time in order to help He Mu tailor-made this play, I will definitely invest a lot, so the adaptation fee will be ...... Hey. ”

Damn, play the friendship card! Li Wenhua despised Xiao Fang, and then stretched out a finger: "You can take the adaptation rights for this number." He doesn't plan to go too far, one million is not too expensive for the booming "Flight Attendant", you must know how many fans are looking forward to the movie version of the TV series version of "The Flight Attendant" as soon as possible, it can be said that as long as the news of filming is announced, there will be a large number of fans spontaneously promoting it on the Internet, and the publicity fee can save a lot.

One million plus the previous drama copyright of 100,000, the adaptation rights of the third version were sold for 1.1 million, and Li Wenhua is worthy of thirty.

"It's too expensive." Xiao Fang hesitated, of course he wouldn't understand one of Li Wenhua's fingers as 100,000, but 1 million was a bit more than he could bear. He is ready to invest about 10 million yuan in this play, which is slightly smaller than the investment scale of "Soldier Assault", which is also a relatively large investment in an urban love drama, but Li Wenhua will ask him for 1 million for the adaptation rights alone, and he will also ask the screenwriter to write the script, invite famous directors, invite big names, and ensure that the production is excellent, so it is a bit stretched.

"Mr. Li, you have to think so, not to mention how popular this novel is on the Internet, the physical book alone has sold nearly 200,000 copies, this influence is not a joke, and what I sold you is the adaptation rights of the TV series and the movie, if the TV series is popular, you can also launch the film project, and you can make another profit when the time comes, and you don't have to pay another adaptation fee, this deal is definitely worth it." Li Wenhua began to flicker hard, if Xiao Fang was still unbearable, he could consider dropping another 100,000.

It turned out to be two versions of the adaptation right, which is not too expensive, Xiao Fang thought, but the company has no experience in making movies, and he is skeptical about the film version of "Flight Attendant", "Do you think "Flight Attendant" is suitable for film adaptation? ”

"I have such an idea," Li Wenhua leaned over and said, "You have also read this novel, in fact, it is an incomplete story, a large number of flight attendant fans on the Internet are clamoring for Thirty to write a sequel every day, but he feels that he can't write it for the time being, so he has not started writing." So I was thinking, we can make the main part of the novel into a TV series, and then write a script, just write the follow-up story of Lu Fei and Ran Jing, and make it into a movie, which is definitely a hit. ”

Xiao Fang's eyes lit up, and Li Wenhua's thoughts reminded him, yes, the ending of this novel will definitely not meet the requirements of TV audiences, and it will definitely be scolded if it is filmed without a beginning or an end, it is better to write this story completely, and you can also add a lot of plots out of thin air, TV series are sold by the number of episodes, the more episodes, the higher the price, but the cost must also increase, and the budget has to be adjusted again.

Because Xiao Fang knew that Li Wenhua had studied this novel very deeply, he revealed his thoughts to Li Wenhua and asked him to help the staff officers, "What do you think of my thoughts?" ”

Li Wenhua pondered for a moment: "If this is the case, there are two problems, first, it will be a little troublesome to make a movie version in the future, and you can only repeat the original story, which will be much less attractive to the audience, unless you can change a new batch of actors and make a little trouble; Second, where to find an excellent screenwriter who can not only continue to write the later plot, but also make the thousands of readers of "Flight Attendant" buy it, let alone buy it all, even if half of the people can be satisfied, it is amazing, even the original author does not dare to say that he can continue to write a second part that satisfies readers. ”

Xiao Fang thought for a while, and replied one by one: "It's still a bit early to think about the movie version, we should first consider how to satisfy the TV audience, I like the current structure of this novel very much, I don't want to change too much, just write a happy ending, so it's sure to complete this story." As for who will continue to write ......" Xiao Fang hesitated for a moment, then looked at Li Wenhua.

"Hey, don't look at me like that, I can't write it." Although Li Wenhua thinks he is a little talented, he has only written novels, essays and the like, and he has never written a little longer, basically short and medium stories, the most important thing is that he doesn't know how to write the script of Lu Dao, what is the difference between the script and the novel, I am afraid that He Mu is better than him.

Xiao Fang pouted: "When did I say that you should write it, I mean let you and the original author participate in the creation of the script, your role is to prevent the plot written by the screenwriter from deviating from the reader's expectations, and don't let him cry and cry when he writes a happy story." ”

"Do you have the right person in mind?" Li Wenhua guessed.

"Well," Xiao Fang nodded, "This screenwriter friend of mine used to be in the army, and now he is a professional screenwriter, his output is not high, but every one of them is a high-quality product." ”

"What did he write?"

"He wrote a TV script "I Want to Fall in Love" before, and he also wrote the "Peacock" directed by Gu Changwei last year, oh, by the way, "Auntie's Postmodern Life", which has not yet been released by director Xu Anhua, is also his work." Xiao Fang said a little proudly.

"Oh, Li Wall," Li Wenhua actually knew this person, "I heard that he just wrote a new script for Gu Changwei, does he still write a TV series now?" ”

Although Li Wenhua has not seen many movies, He Mu focuses on feature films and commercial films, Li Wenhua prefers literary films, as a literary and artistic youth, I am afraid that there are not many people who have not watched "Peacock" this year, last year's Gu Changwei's directorial debut not only won a Berlin Silver Bear, became popular with the female number one Zhang Jingchu, but also became popular with the late-blooming screenwriter Li Wall, Li Wenhua became interested in this screenwriter after watching "Peacock".

"Although he hasn't taken over the TV script in recent years, I gave him a copy of "Flight Attendant" a few days ago, and his evaluation is very good, which shows that he still likes this novel very much, plus my friendship with him, it shouldn't be difficult to move him to help with this, anyway, he is idle now." Xiao Fang said, and glanced at Li Wenhua with admiration after speaking, even Li Wall's name was known, and he was indeed a cultural person.

Li Wenhua took a sip of tea and said: "If it is handled by Li Wall, it should be no problem to ensure the quality of the script, the success of "I Want to Fall in Love" proves that he can control the stories of men and women with urban themes, I just hope he doesn't write too profoundly, after all, this is a simple pure love story, and it doesn't need to be given too much social significance." ”

Xiao Fang nodded sympathetically: "This is also the reason why I want you and the original author to participate in the creation of the script, I have the same worries as you." ”

The two of them used tea instead of wine to celebrate the similarity of the two heroes, Li Wenhua felt that Xiao Fang was quite temperamental, and simply lamented the generosity of others, "In this way, you can give 900,000 yuan for the adaptation fee, and you can change it as you want within six years, but you can't deduct our screenwriting fee." ”

"Deal!"

Two days later, He Mu returned to Beijing from his hometown, riding in a military car, driving his elder brother He Zao, they arrived home almost at the same time, and then left home and returned to Beijing at the same time, causing his grandfather to jump and scold "They are all unworthy descendants".

He Zao's destination is the National Defense University, where he will study for a period of time, after which he will be transferred from the front line and promoted to another assignment. He Mu's destination is naturally Tiger Wolf Company, which has been bullied by some unscrupulous media for so long, and even his parents have suffered from it, and it is time to fight back.

——————

In the editorial department of "Nandu Entertainment Daily", Guo Siyuan, who is now a big celebrity, was called into the office by the editor-in-chief Jiang Dajun, "This is an invitation from Tiger Wolf Company, and they will hold a media conference tomorrow night to clarify the recent false reports about He Mu." ”

"Editor-in-chief, what do you mean?"

"Of course I mean to let you go, you know He Mu better, and you will be responsible for the news about him in the future."

"Yes." Guo Siyuan took the invitation and turned to leave.

"Wait," Jiang Dajun called him, "Remember, we are a media with a conscience. ”

Guo Siyuan was a little confused, and he didn't know what the editor-in-chief of Lu Dao meant, so he had to nod resignedly, indicating that he knew Lu Dao.

After Guo Siyuan went out, Jiang Dajun connected the phone from the personnel department: "When Guo Siyuan comes back, let him settle his salary and leave, don't let him come to see me, I can't bear it." ”
