Chapter 040: Propaganda spreads
On the issue of copyright, Zhou Zihang considered many possibilities, but he was vetoed by himself one by one. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
First of all, the value of these three novels goes without saying, Master Jin Yong's martial arts, the most remade, are these few.
Moreover, the Condor trilogy can be said to be the culmination of martial arts.
This does not refer to the literary, but to the story.
The storytelling of the three novels of Shooting the Condor, the Condor, and Yitian can already be said to be ingenious.
There are many people who even suspect that this Master Jin Yong is a traverser, a person who has returned from the martial arts world.
Otherwise, how could he write such a good martial arts story? Of course, this is just a joke for some.
It also further certifies the good-looking nature of its story.
There are many remakes, and the stories of these parts are already well known, and they can be described as backwards.
A further remake doesn't seem to be of much value. However, the IP value of martial arts can exceed that of online novels, I don't know how much.
But even if they know this, many investors and directors will not touch the adaptation of martial arts.
Because it's so difficult, it can be said that it is difficult to change new ideas.
are all seeking breakthroughs, Zhou Zihang took a bold step first, Zhou Zihang just didn't know if he would agree with Master Jin Yong's idea.
A few days later, Zhou Zihang received a call from Luo Jiale, saying that the script was out, and Zhou Zihang hurried to arrive.
Looking at the script in his hand, Zhou Zihang was still full of smiles at first, but the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became.
"Zihang, is there something wrong?"
Luo Jiale had already noticed that something was wrong, so he asked out loud.
Zhou Zihang shook his head and said, "The script is very good, and the story is complete, but... It seems..."
"But what?"
Luo Jiale was very anxious at this time, because he spent a lot of energy on this script, so he attached great importance to it.
Zhou Zihang put down the script, looked at the two of them and said, "There is a point in this script, we have to care." ”
"Which point?"
"That's the length of the episodes of this show, according to your adaptation, there are nearly eighty episodes, which is too long."
Zhou Zihang said and continued: "Xiao Shu, I won't talk about it here, Jia Le, you have to know that we are facing an online platform, what everyone is watching is a sense of freshness, if it is stretched to 80 episodes, who will watch it later?" The heat will be greatly reduced. ”
"I have to admit that your story is very good and interesting, but it's not the script I wanted. What I want is a fast-paced, super refreshing, overnight plot development. ”
Zhou Zihang said, opened the script casually, and continued: "Let's just talk about the first part of the script, first of all, it took nearly 3 to 4 episodes for the development of the protagonist, how long was this playing? That's 1 week, or more. ”
"According to my assumption, the protagonist's initial martial arts learning, without such detail, just a few mental activities, plus a few shots can be brought through, as long as it can be expressed clearly, what the protagonist has done is enough."
Zhou Zihang didn't give them a chance to speak at all, and said: "I must see the second draft as soon as possible, and it is a draft that meets my requirements." In the script of more than 40 episodes and more than 30 episodes, tell me how long it will take. ”
"3 days."
Luo Jiale was also very aware of Zhou Zihang's decision at this time, so he gave a time.
"Very good, I will contact Master Jin Yong immediately, and when we discuss the script, I hope I can proceed smoothly at that time."
After finishing these, Zhou Zihang once again devoted his energy to decoration, and the office must be done as soon as possible.
In fact, the project is almost finished, and only the last thing is left.
Three days later, Zhou Zihang uncovered the red cloth on the plaque, and the decoration was officially completed.
The 2 floors are equal in size, with a total area of 700 square meters, and below is the office area for employees, and there are many small offices.
It is the office of many main leaders, and the second floor is two large conference rooms, plus post-production, dubbing, small viewing rooms and Zhou Zihang's office.
The whole office building is in a light tone, with blue as the base tone, supplemented by cyan to give people a sense of youthful vitality.
Zhou Zihang is very satisfied with this.
The only regret is that the company officially opened, and there were few people. With Luo Jiale and Kong Minghao by their side, the rest of them are filming the second season of Utopia in Kyoto.
Zhou Zihang's office is very simple.
At the entrance, you can see a desk with a computer on it, an unknown hanging painting behind it, and a coffee table and sofa on the right hand side.
Zhou Zihang and Luo Jiale Xiao Shu sat on the sofa and crossed Erlang's legs.
"Zihang, this is the second draft we have changed, you can take a look."
Nodding, Zhou Zihang took it and looked at it.
After Zhou Zihang finished reading it, he said, "Very good, it meets my requirements." I can talk to Master Jin Yong soon, this is a hard bone, I'm afraid it's hard to gnaw. ”
Saying that, Zhou Zihang said to Xiao Shu with a smile: "I'm bothering you this time, I hope we still have a chance to cooperate." ”
Xiao Shu smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Zhou, you are joking, I really can't think that I can cooperate with you this time, it is a valuable experience for me." ”
Luo Jiale said beside him at this time: "Zihang, Xiao Shu is a very thoughtful person, what I want to say is that if possible, you can consider keeping Xiao Shu in the company, after all, you will definitely need a screenwriter team in the future." ”
"Oh??"
Hearing Luo Jiale say this, Zhou Zihang was very interested.
Xiao Shu's novel, Zhou Zihang has read it, and it is from beginning to end.
Now that I have another experience of cooperation, and Luo Jiale recommends it, I think this person must not be wrong.
"Xiao Shu, what do you think? If I invite you to join, what are the difficulties? ”
Xiao Shu's face was happy at this time, and he seemed very happy, but then it dimmed again and sighed.
Zhou Zihang frowned and asked, "Is there any difficulty?" Let's just say it. ”
Xiao Shu hesitated for a while, looked at the two of them, and finally said: "I definitely value the opportunity you gave me, Mr. Zhou, but I have a family, and I am not here, I am afraid that I will not have this opportunity to join." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Zihang also knew that this thing might not be possible, and he couldn't let Xiao Shu leave his family to work here, right?
If Xiao Shu is willing, then Zhou Zihang can give Xiao Shu some higher treatment, so that he can ensure the quality of life of the family.
However, Xiao Shu was obviously unwilling, and Zhou Zihang did not force it.
So he stood up, stretched out a hand and said, "That's no way, if you have the opportunity in the future, you must find time to help me." ”
Xiao Shu hurriedly shook hands with Zhou Zihang and said, "It's no problem, just call me." ”
Xiao Shu went back, but Zhou Zihang had an idea in his heart, and Luo Jiale's words reminded him.
The screenwriting team, this is very important.
You must know that nowadays, a good script is very rare, and a good script is not completed by one person.
Now is the era of big IP, why? It's because of the lack of the screenwriting industry.
There is no good enough originality, so investors have set their sights on the adaptation of the novel, which is understandable.
Zhou Zihang was wondering if he could cultivate his own screenwriting team.
As soon as this idea flashed, it was immediately vetoed by Zhou Zihang.
It's very simple, Zhou Zihang doesn't have the strength and energy at this time.
Today is September 31st, and tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the evening, Struggle Utopia will be launched on Mango TV, and today is an important time for publicity.
Plus the next copyright negotiation with Master Jin Yong.
If it goes well, the next step is the preparation of the crew and other important things, and Zhou Zihang really has no extra time.
Just this morning, a lot of news has been spread on the Internet.
The resources that Zhou Zihang obtained from Xin Baoyuan showed its powerful energy for the first time.
Mobile APP entry page ads, mobile game entry page ads, browser news ads, etc.
Many people found out this morning that such a picture would appear more or less in their mobile phones.
The stills of Lin Sheng, Li Yan, and Guan Xiaotong, plus the background of heartbreak utopia, are lined with 5 large characters in italics next to them - Struggle for Utopia.
But the first thing that catches your eye is definitely the red fonts.
"At 20 o'clock on September 1st, Mango TV will present you with a different online drama style!"
Such a picture makes people remember the news for the first time, but the propaganda is more than that.
