The next day, the two had just gotten up, and Zhou Zihang discovered a big thing this time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On his mobile phone, it shows that 20 million has arrived, so he doesn't have to think that his mother called.

And it was the second day when he and Luo Jiale started writing the script, what was going on, Zhou Zihang was eager to know, so he dialed his mother's phone.

"Zihang, when you come to this call, you must have completed the creation of the script, let it go! Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you lose. ”

Listening to his mother's words, Zhou Zihang was not only moved, but also felt a little reasonable.

Is he too much of a jerk, or is it something else? Zhou Zihang didn't want to pursue it.

With funding, everything is easy to do.

At first, he had the intention of buying the copyright of the Condor trilogy first, but now his mind has changed.

The first step is to win the adaptation rights of the struggle, which is a bit difficult.

Because in the script, the struggle has been changed too much, and it can be said that it is unrecognizable.

But there is no doubt that once this script is made into a TV series, no matter what the reputation is, it will definitely be hotly discussed in the post-90s generation, and this is what Zhou Zihang wants.

Public praise? What is it?

Moral? Sweep the ground.

"Knorr, we've finished the script."

"Yes, it's done, it's time for me to go."

Zhou Zihang was very strange and asked, "Go?" Where to? ”

Luo Jiale smiled and said, "Go home." I'm looking for a job, and I've had a good experience in the past half month, and I thank you very much. ”

"Knorr, do you think I'm adapting this script just for fun? I'm going to make it into a TV series, and the investment is all confirmed. ”

Luo Jiale looked at Zhou Zihang fiercely and said, "Are you sure?" Don't be funny, you can't get the copyright. ”

"How do you know if you don't try? Mr. Shi Kang half a month ago, my mother asked someone to make an appointment, and we can meet tomorrow. and director Zhao Baogang! ”

Hearing Zhou Zihang's words, Luo Jiale was convinced that Zhou Zihang was not joking, he was serious.

......

The next day, the two flew to Kyoto, and nearly a month after graduation, Zhou Zihang came to Kyoto again, this time with a different taste.

NUO Hotel, this is where Zhou Zihang was notified to come, because Zhao Baogang is here, as for why it is not for him to consider.

Coming to the designated room, Captain Zhou Zi exhaled and rang the doorbell. And Luo Jiale next to him was very nervous at this time.

"Please come in."

Hearing this, the two walked in, and then they heard two hearty laughs.

Zhou Zihang and Luo Jiale came to the place where the voice came from, and found Zhao Baogang and Shi Kang sitting on the sofa opposite each other, looking at the two of them with this smile on their faces.

Zhou Zihang bowed slightly and said, "Hello two teachers, I'm Zhou Zihang, and this is Luo Jiale." ”

"Oh? You are here, sit down. Whatever you want. ”

Zhao Baogang pointed to the sofa next to him and said with a smile.

Zhou Zihang didn't see it, and sat down directly, while Luo Jiale also followed Zhou Zihang, looking a little cautious.

"Listen to my old fellow, you prepare a script and want to buy the rights?"

Zhou Zihang nodded, took out the script, handed it to Shi Kang with both hands, and said, "This is the script we wrote, please take a look." ”

Zhou Zihang knew very well that it was Shi Kang who paid attention to this.

Don't listen to Zhao Baogang talking now.

Why did he find Zhao Baogang, this is what Shi Kang did on purpose.

A work that is about to be remade, Shi Kang will not be stingy, and it is still his own novel.

When he heard that someone wanted to buy the copyright, he had actually agreed halfway there.

After all, it has been 10 years of struggle, and it is necessary to remake it again, and I called Zhao Baogang together because I heard that it was two young people who wanted to help them.

Zhao Baogang saw that Shi Kang had read the script, so he chatted with Zhou Zihang and said, "You must have directed it yourself?" Next to the screenwriter? ”

I have to say that Zhao Baogang's vision is very unique.

"Yes, Director Zhao."

"Is it convenient to ask, how much to invest?"

A director's main concern is investment, because it is related to the use of actors, post-production, and pre-broadcast publicity, these factors and the script are the key to the success or failure of a TV.

"20 million, including the purchase of copyrights."

Hearing this number, Zhao Baogang frowned, of course they all spent tens of millions, and 20 million in 10 years is really a bit too little.

Looking at the change in Zhao Baogang's expression, Zhou Zihang hurriedly said: "This time it is different from yours, it is divided into two parts, which will be broadcast on the online platform to narrow the profit cycle." The investment in the first quarter was 20 million, and the same amount was invested in the second quarter. ”

Zhao Baogang understands this very well, and thinks that he was the first to open the market when he was struggling.

made domestic prime-time TV throw off three mountains, but at that time, his investment was very difficult to get, and others didn't want to believe him.

But in the end, he did it, but the ratings of the early broadcast were not very good, but later accumulated and became an instant hit.

The profits brought are very considerable.

With such a model, Zhou Zihang can't afford to wait, so he can only choose to reduce the profit amount to narrow the profit cycle to ensure the completion of the project.

"That's right, the total investment has reached 40 million, which is very good. Do the actors have an idea? ”

The director's thinking is like this, first of all, the script. The second investment, followed by actors.

"Okay, let's not talk so much, I really can't sell this copyright."

Shi Kang interrupted the conversation between the two, put down the script, took off his glasses and said.

Zhao Baogang was very surprised when he heard this.

In his understanding, it is impossible for an author to make such a decision, but Shi Kang is like this, so it shows that this script adaptation is very large, and it is a scale that the author cannot bear.

Thinking of this, Zhao Baogang immediately picked up the script and read it, and he was not afraid to avoid it.

After filming the movie in 14 years, Zhao Baogang made a statement that it may be the last step of the work, just because he couldn't find a script that was new enough and good enough.

Today's scene, Zhao Baogang was very curious, so he couldn't wait to watch it.

"Teacher Shi Kang, why did you make such a decisive decision? There are some details that we can negotiate. ”

Shi Kang waved his hand and said: "Xiao Zhou, and this one, I appreciate your talent very much, this script is undoubtedly a good script, but it is too bold for the novel of struggle." ”

For this situation, Zhou Zihang has thought of it a long time ago.

"Teacher Shi Kang, there is indeed a big adaptation in this, but it is definitely suitable for the current market, if this novel is still necessary to be remade, it is inevitable to change it in this way, don't you deny it?"

For this, Shi Kang didn't know what to do.

As the author of this novel, of course, I hope that this work will last for a long time, like the Jin Yong classics, and circulate for decades or centuries.

But he himself knows very well that struggle does not have this potential.

"I don't deny that with your adaptation, it has indeed been done to cater to the market, but what does this have to do with me?"

Without waiting for Zhou Zihang to speak, Shi Kang continued: "Although I am the author, after watching the script sell the copyright, I received a copyright fee, no matter how much. What does the market reaction of this TV series have to do with me? What I can get, won't change, will it? ”

"You're right, but do you really care about what you get?"

After Zhou Zihang said this, Shi Kang was silent.

Shi Kang knew very well in his heart that Zhou Zihang was very right.

If he Shi Kang really only cared about interests, this would not have happened.

At this point, what they care about is not this copyright fee, but fame and fortune.

If this TV series comes out, Shi Kang will definitely face the situation of being talked about by the audience.

Because such an adaptation is very difficult for fans of the original work to endure, at that time, there must have been many people who said that he Shi Kang bowed to capital, and such a script could be accepted.

Don't underestimate public opinion like this, the impact is very large.

Therefore, Jin Yong only symbolically charged 1 yuan for the copyright fee, which can show his generosity and self-confidence.

It means to say: you can change it, whatever you want to change, the influence will not exceed my original work. Instead, it will add to my fame.

And that's exactly what happened.

But there is a premise in this, the author must not care about royalties.

Jin Yong can do it, but can Shi Kang? No one wants less money, the more the better.
