Chapter 59: The sound of the flute for progress

"Mr. Xiao, I wonder what you are looking for me?" After the two parties entered the room and sat down, Li Xuan asked when he handed Xiao Sheng tea.

"Forehead......" Xiao Sheng didn't answer first, but put down the teacup in his hand, turned his head to look at the piano by the balcony before saying slowly: "I didn't expect Mr. Li to be so elegant and like to play the piano." ”

Li Xuan, who was pouring tea for himself, was stunned, this guy was talking about him left and right, and the person who came was not good!

"Hehe, it's just a little hobby, it's still average after learning it for a long time, but it makes Mr. Xiao smile." Li Xuan replied as he said that he felt his teeth were sore.

"Haha, Mr. Li's little hobby is good, it's better than me, a vulgar person who doesn't know anything." Xiao Sheng said with a smile: "Actually, this time the contemptible people took the liberty to come to the door, there is one thing to find Mr. Li......"

Xiao Sheng deliberately paused after saying half a sentence, picked up the teacup on the coffee table and took a sip, but his eyes were still looking at Li Xuan.

Now Li Xuan had to talk, and he also took a sip of tea and asked directly, "Oh? What's the matter with Mr. Siu? ”

"Don't hide it from Mr. Li, I'm a TV drama producer at Lishi. This time I'm looking for ......."

"Ahem!" Li Xuan choked on the hot tea and coughed, hurriedly put down the teacup, and asked in surprise, "Lishi?" ”

"Hmm!"

Xiao Sheng nodded.

Sweat! This is an old neighbor, it doesn't take a quarter of an hour to walk from Li Xuan's house to Lishi's headquarters. Li Xuan wondered, what was the old neighbor doing at this time?

Seeing that Li Xuan seemed to have reacted, Xiao Sheng continued: "I came to Mr. Li this time to ask Mr. Li about the TV copyright of "Kunlun", should Mr. Li not be sold, right? ”

Now that he finally understood his intentions, Li Xuan nodded and said, "Not yet, you Lishi want to make it into a TV series?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Li's novel is very well written, and many readers like it. And ......" Xiao Sheng glanced at Li Xuan and continued: "And I heard that the novel is almost over?" ”

"It's almost over, and I've already handed over the last draft to Ming Pao." Although he didn't know where this guy heard about it, Li Xuan still told the truth.

The book "Kunlun" has 1.1 million words, and it has been serialized for seven months, and it is estimated that it will be completed by the end of this month. And Sanlian's physical publishing also sold very well, the first three sold 150,000 copies, but Li Xuan earned more than one million, plus the dividends of "The Grudge", Li Xuan entered the ranks of multimillionaires.

"That's good, when the novel is over, the TV series will be broadcast, and you can ...... each other"

"Well, excuse me, Mr. Xiao." Li Xuan raised his right hand slightly, and asked directly to the point: "You guys, how much are you going to pay for that TV copyright fee?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Sheng was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, Lishi will definitely not treat you badly, the price is absolutely assured, as long as you agree, we will ...... immediately"

The sound of the flute became smaller and smaller, and Li Xuan, who was opposite him, had already narrowed his eyes, and he seemed to be a little unkind.

"Mr. Xiao, how much is it?" Li Xuan asked coldly.

"150,000 ......"

This time, Xiao Sheng answered simply, but unfortunately Li Xuan only felt that 10,000 divine beasts were galloping and roaring in his heart.

One hundred and fifty thousand? This is called Hanako.,You must know that this is a masterpiece of more than a million words.。 Even Jin Yongjin Daxia has a few copies of more than one million, and his old man's TV copyright fee is more than one million Hong Kong dollars.

But it's a pity that because of Jin Daxia's expensive copyright fees, except for Jiashi gritted his teeth and filmed a "Legend of the Condor Heroes" in 76, the other two TV stations have no interest in filming Jin Yong's TV series until now. However, Gulong, whose filming copyright fee is only one-third of Jin Yong's, is blooming all over the place, and the two TV stations broadcast "Chu Liuxiang", "Lu Xiaofeng" and "Xiao Li Flying Knife" all day long.

"In a word, two hundred and fifty thousand." Li Xuan said in a muffled voice. He doesn't want to offend people too much, if one third of Jin Daxia can't reach it, then he will be downgraded by one level, and a quarter will always be fine.

"That ......" Xiao Sheng gestured a V with his right hand, and as soon as Li Xuan thought it was a deal, he heard Xiao Sheng say: "Up to 200,000." ”

This buddy lowered the price to Li Xuan by one level, one-fifth.

Li Xuan gritted his back molars, thought for a while and said in a sullen voice: "200,000 yuan, it's not impossible, but the filming copyright is only sold to you for three years." ”

"Three years?" Xiao Sheng lowered his head and thought for a moment before replying, "Yes." ”

The so-called shooting copyright means that the shooting rights are sold to a company. Within a certain period of time, only this company can shoot this TV series, and other companies can be regarded as infringement. And once this period is exceeded, no matter whether the company finishes filming or not, it loses the right to shoot.

is like Tang Pictures in the mainland in the future, when "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was halfway through filming, the starring Brother Hu suddenly had a car accident. As a result, the entire crew was delayed, exceeding the filming time, and Tangren's tens of millions of advance investment was almost lost. Later, after Jin Yong heard about this, he took the initiative to renew the Tang people for free for one year before recovering the losses of the Tang people.

After negotiating the money, both of them were much more relaxed. Li Xuan drank tea and asked casually, "I don't know who Mr. Xiao plans to star in this drama?" ”

"Who's starring? I don't know if Mr. Li has watched Lishi's "Huanhua Washing Sword Record" some time ago, I think the actor is good. ”

Hearing this answer, Li Xuan was surprised, and replied: ""Huanhua Washing Sword Record"? Zhang Guorong? ”

"Ha, it seems that Mr. Li also watches our show, what a great honor!" Xiao Sheng said with a happy face: "By the way, I wonder if Mr. Li is interested in participating in the creation of the script?" ”

"Not interested." Li Xuan shook his head and said casually.

"Forehead ......"

Li Xuan looked at Xiao Sheng and shook his shoulder: "I'm really not interested, and besides, I can also give you the greatest freedom of adaptation." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Sheng feels that his head is a little dazed now, and someone doesn't mind others changing his novel casually?

Li Xuan looked at the sound of the flute with a strange expression, and calmly took a sip of tea. Unless I have enough to eat, I will spend so much time changing the novel into a screenplay, and I don't have much money. Besides, how good it is to have a little time, go shopping with Zhong Xiaoniu. As for the random adaptation of novels, I have watched a lot of Lei dramas adapted in later generations, and this resistance has long been there. Anyway, sooner or later, someone will change it indiscriminately, what if you put down the water yourself, anyway, the cub sells Ye Tian and doesn't feel distressed.

After negotiating the signing of the contract, Xiao Sheng said goodbye and walked out of Li Xuan's house, walking slowly towards the Lishi Building. When passing by the wireless headquarters building, Xiao sighed inaudibly, and he suddenly remembered Wang Tianlin.

Li Xuan has never heard of Xiao Sheng, but Li Xuan, who is the producer and director of the play, is like thunder. For example, Jiashi's 76 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", as well as the "Huanhua Washing Sword Record" mentioned in the conversation just now, are his masterpieces.

He and Wang Tianlin's experiences are very similar, they are about the same age, they have been in the film industry since they were children, they both changed careers and joined TV stations in the early 70s, and they are often supervised and directed in TV dramas.

It's a pity that he went to the wrong TV station. Jiashi, which he joined first, was finally able to make a TV series after a few years. As a result, only three TV series were filmed, and his name had just begun, and Jiashi went out of business.

Later, he joined Lishi, but unfortunately, the famous "Li's Three Heroes" in the industry have been steadily suppressing him again. At the beginning of the year, I finally supervised the production of "Huanhua Washing Sword Record", and I was happy for a long time, but I didn't expect to start my old business again - as an assistant director, I followed one of the three heroes, McDonald's Bear.

Compared with Wang Tianlin, who is now famous, how can this Xiao Sheng feel uncomfortable, he is half a year older than Wang Tianlin.

Xiao Sheng thought about it and felt that he should still shoot more costume martial arts dramas that he was good at and make his fame as soon as possible.

But it's a pity that the copyright fee for Jin Yong's novel is too expensive to buy. Gurung's novel is either not copyrighted by the TV station, or it has just been filmed. Liang Yusheng's novel copyright is ignored except for the fact that it was sold to Jiashi a few years ago. As for Wen Rui'an, this unlucky guy is always invited by the military to drink coffee in Taiwan and Bay, and it is better to be a young man.

After thinking about it, Xiao Sheng set his eyes on Li Xuan.
