Chapter 369: Obtaining the Right to Adapt

After only reading a short paragraph, Wu Cheng didn't have the patience to continue reading, "I think this book is ridiculous. ”

"Usually only an ignorant person like you will judge a book on the first page!" Zhao Tianfeng replied unceremoniously.

"I think this is a very interesting beginning!" Chen Feng showed a completely different attitude from Wu Cheng, "Can you tell me about the general plot content of this book?" ”

"Lancher was the son of a gardener, handsome and brilliant, and he went to study engineering at a prestigious elite school under the guise of the owner of the tillage. Lancher has a cheerful personality, pursues freedom and innovation, and opposes the study of only test scores, so he becomes a thorn in the side of the principal. Although the principal made things difficult for him in every way, they were calmly resolved by his wisdom. ”

"Lancher's two classmates in the same dormitory became dead friends, the idiots in the mouth of the three teachers and the principal became the odds in the school and formed a deep friendship, after graduating from college, Lancher gave his degree to his master's son, and he himself disappeared without a trace, and after a few years his two friends began a journey to find him, just when everyone thought he was poor somewhere, Lancher had actually become a scientist with more than 4oo patents, and finally two friends found him, three' The idiot reunited after a long absence, and Lancher not only gained the respect of his opponent, but also hugged the beauty. ”

"So you're suggesting we make a San movie?" Wu Cheng asked disdainfully.

"Please note that my recommendation is only for Ah Feng, not you!" Zhao Tianfeng gave Wu Cheng a hard blow very mercilessly, "Although the story in the novel was born in the Three Kingdoms of A. However, the irony of the problem of rigid thinking and fixed patterns for the purpose of learning is actually common in the global education system, so I think this is a very good story. ”

With Zhao Tianfeng's narration, the memory in Chen Feng's mind gradually became clearer, and he thought of a very interesting Indian movie in his previous life. Chen Feng was recalling the plot of that movie, but Wu Cheng's interjection disturbed his thoughts.

"I see!" Wu Cheng shouted excitedly. "It must be Xiao Fengfeng that you also want to act in this movie, so I recommend this novel. You must have done it on purpose, because you knew about the International Student Film Festival in advance. And there are just three protagonists in the novel, isn't this exactly what is prepared for our 207 dormitory? ”

He was greeted by the double contempt of Chen Feng and Zhao Tianfeng, under the gloomy gaze of the two. Wu Cheng laughed twice, then scratched his head, "Did I say something wrong?" ”

The three of them stared at each other for a long time, and then Chen Feng held back such a sentence: "Then who do you think should play the role of Lan Che?" ”

Wu Cheng hesitated and struggled for a long time, and finally asked squirmingly, "What do you think of me?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Feng and Zhao Tianfeng collectively fainted.

Chitan Bahat's novel "Five People" is the prototype of the script of the famous Indian movie "Three Fools Havoc in Bollywood" in the previous life, through these years of understanding, Chen Feng also knows that although this world and the original world are different planes, some things are still similar, such as "Baby Plan", such as the prototype of this "Three Fools Havoc in Bollywood". What Chen Feng wanted to make was just a non-commercial film, and he didn't want to interfere because of himself. Let the people of the Three Kingdoms lose an excellent film. The story of the novel "Five People" takes place in the Three Kingdoms, Chen Feng will definitely not directly translate the novel into a script and shoot it, what he really needs is to obtain the authorization of the original author, and then adapt "Five People".

Because a movie similar to "Three Fools in Bollywood" has not yet appeared, and "Five People" was just published last year. Therefore, the current Chitan Bahat is not as famous as Chen Feng imagined, but it is not difficult to find him. …,

Although Bahat's novels are written in English, the language is not orthodox English. Many critics of A-Mikuni have grasped this point, believing that his works are not without long-term collection value, and can only be called "toilet literature". But Chitanbhat has always adhered to his principles of writing in English: to be simple, understandable, and to attract young scholars of the three countries to be concerned with the current social phenomena of the three countries.

As a professional investor in investment banking, Bahat, who is in his early 3o, can be regarded as a young writer. Although Bahat's novels have sold more than 10,000 copies in the three countries. His influence among the young people of the Three Kingdoms can already be compared with those veteran best-selling English novelists, but he was still surprised to learn that Chen Feng actually went to the Three Kingdoms to meet him in person for the adaptation of his first novel.

As a writer of the Three Kingdoms, his attention to Chen Feng is not only focused on the field of film and television, but also the scripts he writes. Of course, Chitan Bahat also cherished the dream that his works would one day sell well all over the world, so his eagerness to look forward to this meeting even exceeded that of Chen Feng.

Chitanbahat came to the agreed meeting place early, how to describe his mood at this time? Nervous, excited, happy, scared. Bahat kept telling himself in his heart: Don't panic, don't panic, but sweat is pouring out. He straightened his collar and pulled the placket; After a while, he straightened his collar and pulled the placket, repeating it many times, for he was so excited that he didn't know what he should do now.

Chen Feng wore a khaki casual library today, wearing

A white T-shirt, sunglasses and a baseball cap are no different from many foreigners who travel to the three countries. Despite this, Chen Feng was still very eye-catching in the crowd, and the newspaper in his hand walked into the café, and he appeared in Tanbachat from a long distance.

Chitan Bahat stood up excitedly and waved vigorously at Chen Feng. His actions not only successfully attracted the attention of Chen Feng himself, but also successfully attracted the attention of everyone in the café to Chen Feng. Several young people came together and muttered a few words, as if they had already doubted Chen Feng's identity.

Chen Feng had to lower the brim of his hat and walked quickly to the table of Chitan Bahat and sat down. Fortunately, the curiosity of the people of the Three Kingdoms was not heavy, so after he sat down, no one pointed a finger at him.

Chitan Bahat first rubbed his hands under the table excitedly, and then suddenly stretched out his hand, startling Chen Feng, "Chitan Bahat, please advise!" ”

Chen Feng reacted at this time, the other party wanted to shake hands with him, he unfolded the newspaper in his hand, and pointed to the photo of Chitan Bahat being interviewed on it, "I also saw an interview about you in the newspaper just now. ”

"You actually saw it...... Their reporter interviewed me a month ago, but it's only now coming out. There was a smug look on Chitanbachhat's face.

"When I was shopping in the market just now, there are actually your novels for sale in it, and your popularity in the Three Kingdoms has exceeded my imagination!" Chen Feng learned from a newspaper interview with Chitan Bahat that in the process of creation, Bahat fully took into account the needs of the people in the three countries, so the price of his novels is only equivalent to a movie ticket, and the sales of the novels are aimed at the gap in the creation of traditional English novels in the three countries, and everyone can find Bahat's latest works in various cities in the three countries.

"In Asangoku, every town may not have a bookstore, but there must be a supermarket. I wanted more people to accept my story, so I chose this way to sell. Chitanbahat smiled shyly.

"I think the idea is full of creativity, just like your novel, it's refreshing!" This is Chen Feng's real compliment. …,

"In fact, what surprised me the most was that there were people in China who paid attention to my novels, and it was a famous person like you." Chitan Bahat's eyes were beating with a very sincere color, which made Chen Feng have no doubt that his words were indeed from the heart.

Although the title of "Ding Ding is famous" made Chen Feng a little embarrassed, the other party was sincere, and he didn't need to be pretentious at this time, so he said straight to the point: "Mr. Bahat, your novel was recommended by a friend of mine who studies literature, I think this story is very interesting after reading it, I want to make this story into a Chinese movie, I came to A Sanguo just to negotiate with you on the issue of the film adaptation rights of this novel." ”

Chen Feng wants to make "Five People", a novel of A Sanguo, into a Chinese movie, not as simple as changing the names of characters and places, and labeling the story of A Sanguo as a Chinese country. The cultural differences between the Three Kingdoms and China, and even the difference in education level, did not allow Chen Feng to deal with it so simply, and he needed to recreate it according to the Chinese culture on the basis of retaining the creative theme of the story.

"I had no intention of buying out the film rights to this novel, just to get the license to adapt it. Because this is a very good Indian native novel, after all. I'm interested in this novel, and there will be other directors of A-Mikuni who are also interested in this film. I believe that for you, this novel may be more meaningful if it is made into a pure A-Sanguo movie. ”

Chen Feng's explanation eliminated the biggest hesitation in Chitanbachat's heart, as Chen Feng said, Chitanbahat has always hoped that his novel could be adapted into a local film, instead of the embarrassing scene of flowers blooming inside the wall and fragrant outside the wall.

With this good start, the next conversation between Chen Feng and Chitan Bahat turned into a pleasant exchange. Chen Feng scooped out some film reviews of "Three Fools in Bollywood" in his previous life, which made Chitanbachat feel like a confidant. The two chatted very speculatively, and in the end, Chitan Bahat even intended to let Chen Feng adapt his novel for free. (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
