Chapter 138: Adaptation of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"

The two chatted for a while, Catherine couldn't help it, she was tired of going around in circles, so she had to say directly: "That's the case, I have watched your "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and think it is very valuable, and I want to adapt it into a movie, what do you think?"

Before Zeng Xiaoxian could react, Fan Ling on the side was very surprised, she didn't expect this Catherine to come here for this, a foreign producer wants to adapt Zeng Xiaoxian's novel, which represents the importance of foreign film capital to Zeng Xiaoxian.

If this news spreads, Zeng Xiaoxian's worth will rise by at least two or three percent tomorrow, although it is a little helpless, but this is the national situation.

Compared with Fan Ling, who didn't know anything about Catherine, Zeng Xiaoxian undoubtedly knew more. An independent filmmaker, who can only represent her personally, and not a large foreign entertainment group, can't explain what the problem is, and the corners of her mouth are raised and said: "Ms. Catherine, do you really think it's appropriate?" ”

"At that time, I swore in God's name that what I said was true!" Catherine said excitedly as if she had been stepped on by a cat's tail.

Of course, Zeng Xiaoxian does not doubt whether "Ghost Blows the Lantern" has the value of being adapted, but the question is whether Catherine has this ability before this.

The conversation of several people continued, and Fang Qing walked in and handed a document to Zeng Xiaoxian.

When he took it, Zeng Xiaoxian smiled, it was actually Catherine's information, he really didn't expect Fang Qing's movements to be so fast.

According to the records, a year ago, Catherine's name was not compatible with the producer, and last year she drummed up a film "Fang Ling Thirteen", which would not have even been able to find a distributor if it hadn't been for the recent Sundance Film Festival for which she won the Feature Film Producer Award.

The film, which was filmed in September last year, has not been released until now, and it is too simple for such a single producer who has no support behind him to adapt his novel! God knows how long it will take for filming to start if it is signed to her, and an investment of only two million in "Fang Ling Thirteen" will exhaust her.

Don't say "Ghost Blows the Lamp". Zeng Xiaoxian is ready to invest tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, in a magic blockbuster.

Catherine's ability Zeng Xiaoxian has no doubts, after all, you can win an international award with your first movie, and it is impossible to have no level.

"Of course, I don't doubt your sincerity, I don't doubt your ability, I have also been fortunate to watch "Fang Ling Thirteen" produced by you, you are indeed a great producer!" Zeng Xiaoxian said casually.

However, although Zeng Xiaoxian is nonsense, how did Catherine know, and when Zeng Xiaoxian knew, she was immediately surprised, you must know that although "Fang Ling Thirteen" has won some awards internationally, few people in the circle know about it, after all, it has not been released yet.

Thinking about Zeng Xiaoxian after all, he is relieved, although he is a foreigner, he can be regarded as a person in the circle.

"But!" Zeng Xiaoxian said in a turning tone, "You should also know that "Ghost Blows the Lamp", if it is to be adapted, it is a big project. As far as I know, Ms. Catherine doesn't seem to have a company! That investment? Speaking of this, Zeng Xiaoxian paused deliberately.

Catherine's face darkened a little, pulling investment has always been a headache for producers or themselves, without enough investment, the movie can't be made at all. Think about it, Zhang Jizhong in his previous life was a cow, but in order to attract sponsorship, he didn't know how to run west.

After all, except for Zeng Xiaoxian, a traverser, no one knows whether you make money from a movie, a small cost does not mean that you do not make money, and a large cost does not mean that there is no possibility of losing money.

But then Catherine added, "I don't have the funds yet, but if I have a few months." I think I can definitely get investment, after all, "Ghost Blows the Lantern" is definitely a good book, isn't it? You should be more confident than I am as an author! ”

Zeng Xiaoxian was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to kick the ball back in such a way, he was stunned, then smiled, and said: "Okay, since Ms. Catherine is so confident in my novel, I have no reason to refuse, so let's do it, when you can pull enough funds, I will give you the adaptation rights when I can, of course." Royalties are indispensable. ”

Zeng Xiaoxian doesn't care about promising a little more with such empty promises, anyway, what if you have the funds to start filming, it is not without benefits to Zeng Xiaoxian.

With Zeng Xiaoxian's consent, Catherine was overjoyed, although Zeng Xiaoxian's age gave her a great shock, but it didn't matter how old Zeng Xiaoxian was to achieve the final goal. She came in a hurry this time, and she didn't do much investigation, except for knowing Zeng Xiaoxian's name, she basically knew a limited amount.

I just knew that Zeng Xiaoxian was an artist, a person known as an all-round artist, only to find out that he was so young when he met, and at the same time he had a sudden feeling in his heart, no wonder the protagonist in the book was so young, I am afraid that he is writing with himself as the prototype!

Thinking of this, a bold idea appeared in his mind, and he hesitated and said: "Mr. Lin, I didn't expect you to be a singer and actor, it was really unexpected to me, if it was possible." I would like to invite you to play the leading role in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

Zeng Xiaoxian was stunned again, he didn't expect Catherine to hit him with the idea, if it was an ordinary person who could have the opportunity to set foot on the big screen, I am afraid he would have agreed a long time ago, whether it is suitable or not, he has to mix it up, there are too many examples like this in his previous life.

Especially for TV drama actors, the attraction of the big screen is not a little bit, and everyone wants to jump out of the big screen.

Zeng Xiaoxian is different, for him who has a lot of resources, it is naturally much easier for him to develop in film, so he is not in a hurry.

However, if Catherine can really get investment, Zeng Xiaoxian doesn't mind starring, after all, the box office of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" can be said to be quite good, and it is indeed quite good to enter the film industry with "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" as a breakthrough, and it is a matter of time before he enters the film industry, but it doesn't matter if Zeng Xiaoxian can be early.

Fan Ling also frequently glanced at Zeng Xiaoxian on the side, and going to the film industry to develop definitely outweighed the disadvantages for Zeng Xiaoxian.

This kind of thing is something that no one else can ask for, and she also loves to have a movie star in the apartment studio.

Catherine's decision was completely improvised, she never thought that Zeng Xiaoxian would be so young before, and now it seems that Zeng Xiaoxian is simply a copy of the actor he wrote, and he is an actor, if he comes to play, it is no longer suitable, and this is also a good promotional selling point, isn't it?
