Chapter 56: Faith
Su Yang has a lot of secrets, but there are very few people who know these secrets, Wang Wenbin, his mother Huang Jing, and the head teacher Ye Lan, Wang Wenbin is a sworn friend, and Su Yang knows what kind of person he is, so in addition to the secret of rebirth, there is no need to hide too much from him, and his mother naturally does not have to hide anything, except for rebirth, sooner or later she will know other secrets.
What makes Su Yang himself confused is only the head teacher Ye Lan, this young head teacher, in a certain form, Su Yang is not so much regarded as a teacher, but more like a friend, maybe this has something to do with Ye Lan's age is not much older than himself, knowing that some things are not appropriate to say, but Su Yang still can't help but want to say it, from a certain point of view, when Ye Lan knows Su Yang's secrets that are not yet known, he has been invisibly tied together by Su Yang.
Xinxing Publishing House has already responded, Lao Chen agreed and participated in Su Yang's plan to open a company, but this form is not exactly the same as Su Yang thought, Lao Chen participated in his personal name, and only after determining the risk will Xinxing Publishing House join it.
Su Yang is already very satisfied with this, the most important thing for him is Lao Chen himself, his joining means that the emerging publishing house will also join, it is just a matter of time, and for the current Su Yang, the network is the biggest problem, the cultural communication company pays the most attention to the customer network, and this aspect obviously needs to use the network resources of the emerging publishing house, and so on the accumulation of customer sources, the company can continue to operate.
On the other hand, Lao Chen, a person from the film and television company, also contacted Su Yang and agreed on a time and place, the other party is a screenwriter of the film and television company, as long as Su Yang can convince him, then the movie version of Xiantu is feasible, and Su Yang has been produced for a period of time, and the script has been formed, and the rest is to interview in person, to be honest, Su Yang is not very sure, after all, he has no experience in this area, and the only reliance is only on the subject of Xiantu.
The agreed time was on the weekend afternoon, Su Yang asked Lao Chen to drive to the Kohl Film and Television Media Company located in Tianhai City, Tianhai City is nearly 100 kilometers away from Yongcheng, in terms of prosperity, several Yongcheng combined can not compare to a Tianhai City, and Su Yang is the first time to come to Tianhai City in this life, he has already participated in work when he came here in his previous life, and after ten years, Tianhai City is still extremely prosperous, with many high-rise buildings.
Kohl Media Su Yang has not heard of it, if you tell him that a famous person like Warner Huayi Paramount will know better, but since Kohl Media is in Tianhai City, it will not be far behind. Lao Chen talked a lot with Su Yang along the way, whether Xiantu can be made into a movie is not only very important to Su Yang, the author, but also extremely important to the emerging publishing house, which is directly related to the circulation of Xiantu in the future, so Lao Chen personally went out on this trip.
"That Mr. Ma and I have some friendships, but it's about work, and it's a movie, so I can't help much, I can only hope that the script you wrote can attract them!" Old Chen Dao.
"Well, I've been preparing for half a month, at least half of them may still be there!" Suyang Road.
Half of the probability is already very high, even if it is an extremely attractive script, I dare not say that it can reach 100%, not to mention that it is Su Yang's first attempt, Lao Chen just has the idea of trying it, and everyone is happy when they succeed, and they will not be disappointed if they fail.
The screenwriter's name is Ma Zhaolong, according to Lao Chen, he is a very kind person, but he is very strict in his work, so Su Yang must be 100% energetic and strive to convince the other party.
The car stopped in front of a building, Lao Chen took Su Yang into the building after parking the car, explained it to the front desk, and then took the elevator to the tenth floor, this screenwriter is not an idler, if it weren't for Lao Chen's pre-emption, even if he came, he might not be able to meet people.
"Mr. Ma is in the office, please come with me!" A female employee led the two through a long corridor, and finally entered an office, with floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, and a Sven man wearing glasses sitting at the desk, who looked to be in his early thirties. ”
Ma Zhaolong got up and said, "To be precise, it's been a year and a half, how has Lao Chen's publishing house got?" ”
"Not bad!" Lao Chen smiled, turned sideways and said to Su Yang: "Su Yang, this is Screenwriter Ma!" ”
"Oh? He's the little writer you say? Ma Zhaolong looked at Su Yang with some curiosity, and the latter said politely: "Mr. Ma, hello!" ”
Ma Zhaolong smiled and nodded, "It's very good, you have done something like this at a young age, Lao Chen has told me a lot, your immortal path is indeed very interesting!" ”
"Pony, let's make a long story short, there are still many things to do at the publishing house, Su Yang brought the script, you can take a look!" Old Chen Dao.
Ma Zhaolong nodded, and then Su Yang handed over the script prepared in advance to him, Ma Zhaolong helped his glasses, and then sat down at his desk to read it seriously, Su Yang and Lao Chen sat on the sofa, and after waiting for ten minutes, Ma Zhaolong raised his head and said, "I'll call you Xiao Su, okay?" ”
"Of course, what does Mr. Ma think?" Suyang Road.
Ma Zhaolong talked about things at work a lot strictly, flipped through the script, and said: "You can't be considered a script in the strict sense, I don't think you have written a script, right?" ”
"Yes, this is the first time I've written it, to be precise, it's based on the subject matter, and if it's really used for shooting, there are a lot of details to deal with!" Suyang Road.
Lao Chen took a sip of tea and said, "Pony, you've seen it, do you think it's feasible?" ”
Ma Zhaolong said: "In terms of subject matter, it is indeed relatively novel and attractive, but if it is filmed, the cost will be relatively high, and our company has not taken over this kind of subject matter so far, so I dare not say how sure it is, and there is no way to estimate how much revenue it can bring after the release!" ”
"Mr. Ma!"
Su Yang stood up from the sofa and said, "I don't know if Mr. Ma has known about the sales of Xiantu novels?" ”
Ma Zhaolong heard this: "I have understood! ”
"Then Mr. Ma should have thought that Xiantu has no way to determine whether it is popular before it is published, but I believe from the beginning that it can open the market and sell well, although novels and film and television cannot be compared, but the truth is the same, today's film and television industry is mostly based on martial arts and modernity, and the theme of fairy gods is only the Fengshen list, Journey to the West and Liaozhai, and these three occupy a large part of the market once they come out, but these three have been completely separated from martial arts, and the two are not involved, Xiantu is different, it is derived from martial arts, from martial arts to immortals, this is to mention one point, that is, a very important sense of substitution, even if it is movies and television, the sense of substitution is also very important, only empathy will be attracted by the plot. Can the first three? If you are too far away, you will not have a sense of substitution, but why can you be so successful? Because people always have expectations or fantasies about things that cannot be done, and this kind of theme satisfies this part of the expectations and fantasies in a certain way. This is the fundamental reason why Xiantu novels can sell well! ”
Ma Zhaolong heard this: "It can be seen that you have a lot of confidence in Xiantu, but you have to understand that confidence does not represent absolute returns, any non-investment company is not willing to do a business that cannot determine profits and losses, Xiantu has a grand background, just framing and setting is not an easy thing, it is not easy to achieve the expected results, it is a great expense to do a good job, how to be sure that the benefits it brings can exceed the expenditure?" The company will not make a loss-making transaction! ”
"So you have to do a good job, maybe it's a challenge, once you succeed, the follow-up benefits will only get bigger and bigger, this part of the script I wrote is not all of Xiantu, it's just like a novel, as long as you can catch the eyeballs, you're not afraid that the follow-up works won't sell, this is not a one-time deal!" Su Yang chuckled.
"Pony, Xiantu does have a lot of potential, the initial circulation of the publishing house was only two thousand, and now it has reached 120,000, it only took a few months, and this number is still increasing, the publishing house has not done publicity so far, it is the bookstore spontaneously organizes publicity activities, and readers tell each other, after all, the book is only in the form of words, and the movie can directly present the content in front of me, if I open a media company, even if I dig out my family funds, I have to shoot Xiantu!" Old Chen Dao.
Su Yang was grateful, Lao Chen would say this obviously to be more convincing, if it was only Su Yang himself, it was really an unknown, after all, his age was here!
"Lao Chen, this is not something I can decide on my own, so let's give you an answer after a while, and the script will stay here!" Ma Zhaolong said.
This was already a good result, and Lao Chen got up and said, "Then I'll trouble you, pony!" ”
"Don't bother, to be honest, if I can call the shots, I will definitely try this theme!" Ma Zhaolong said with a smile.
Lao Chen and Su Yang said goodbye to Ma Zhaolong and left Kerr Media, as soon as they walked out of the building, Su Yang took a deep breath, and then said to Lao Chen: "I wasn't so nervous when I went to the publishing house, but this time thanks to Uncle Chen also came together, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do it!" ”
Lao Chen said: "This is not an accurate letter yet, don't be too happy!" ”
"Well, but I'm confident, just like when Xiantu was published, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and Xiantu will not let me down!" Suyang Road.
