"Uncle, when did you come back?" When Zhang Qiuxi came to Li Yue's house, Li Changhua was reading the newspaper, because it was not a break time, so Li Yue was still in class, and Han Xue also went to the TV station.

"I just got home, too." Li Changhua said: "Ah Qiu, I called you back rashly, didn't delay your class, right?" ”

Zhang Qiuxi sat on the sofa and said, "I didn't have a class today, so my uncle won't call me and I'll go to the magazine." By the way, if my uncle comes back, will the movie have already been filmed? ”

"If you're talking about Truman's world, then it's about to be released, but I'm actually busy with something else during this time."

Zhang Qiuxi cooperated with Qin Jianghua again and wrote "Truman's World", Qin Jianghua knew her relationship with Li Changhua, so she also reciprocated the favor and joined Shuguang Film and Television to invest together.

Li Changhua is still serving as a producer, so he has been following the group, Zhang Qiuxi thought that the movie had just been filmed, but he didn't expect it to be released soon. If you calculate the time, it's actually pretty much the same.

"I haven't paid much attention to film and television news during this time, uncle, I really don't know if you don't say it." The magazine also ordered a newspaper, but she only doubled it occasionally, and recently she had a headache about writing "The Dripping Blood Eagle", and she hadn't been on the Internet for several days.

Li Changhua smiled and said: "Actually, this play is still quite popular with the media, and Qin Jianghua himself attaches great importance to it, and the outside world also calls it his ambitious work." ”

"This kind of statement existed when filming Journey to the West, right? I remember that at the beginning of the year, Qin Jianghua also won the Best Actor. "Journey to the West" not only brought Qin Jianghua the first actor trophy. At the same time, it also brought Zhang Qiuxi a nomination as a writer and screenwriter.

However, Zhang Qiuxi didn't regard himself as a person in the entertainment industry, and almost didn't pay attention to the movie award ceremony, and he didn't win the award in the end anyway. It doesn't matter if you show up or not.

Because of Zhang Qiuxi's fame, her weight as a screenwriter is also heavier than that of ordinary people, but she is still an inconspicuous role in the entire film lineup, as long as those glamorous protagonists are present, it doesn't matter if there is a screenwriter at the awards ceremony or not.

In fact, this is not the first time she has been nominated for Best Screenplay, the first time is "East Evil and West Poison", but she also did not win the final award. Strictly speaking, it's also a bit back. "East Evil and West Poison" won an award-winning script with a social theme, and this time, the award-winning script is also a literary film with a social theme.

If you stagger a time. It's not a problem to win the award for Best Screenplay, but Zhang Qiuxi didn't think much about it, not a real filmmaker has no interest in it, and he doesn't need a trophy to increase his gold content.

"This time it means something different. The significance of Journey to the West is to let Qin Jianghua break through himself, while the meaning of Truman's world lies in the market. We are planning an overseas release, and we will also send it to compete for the Oscars. ”

"It hasn't been released in China yet, isn't it too early to say this?"

"We are in contact with theaters in North America, and it is estimated that we need to test show some films, and the time is almost time to negotiate." Li Changhua said with a little helplessness: "Qin Jianghua's name has also been heard by overseas filmmakers, but because of this, they are not optimistic. ”

In recent years, there have been many domestic films released in North America, but the scale is very small, and the box office can only be said to be a failure. Many years ago, the box office record set by martial arts films and kung fu films has never been broken.

Speaking of which, when it comes to Celestial Empire movies, the first thing foreigners can think of is kung fu, Qin Jianghua's nonsensical comedy is impossible for foreigners to understand, and it is normal for those filmmakers not to be optimistic.

When it comes to Qin Jianghua, the first thing that comes to people's minds is nonsense. has formed a deep-rooted impression, so he will be troubled by this and seek transformation, and "Truman's World" is officially such a work.

In Chinese films, he is already the king of comedy, and it can be said that he has reached the peak, and if he wants to expand his career, he can only develop overseas. And this nonsense that foreigners can't understand is definitely not good, and he himself doesn't want to be funny all the time.

Rich experience. With precipitation, there will be more ideas, and the same is true of Stephen Chow, the king of comedy in the original time and space, not only has the works decreased sharply, fans have to wait at least three years to see the new work, and whether it is "Yangtze River No. 7" or "Kung Fu" can no longer be regarded as comedies, at least compared to previous works.

"Uncle, maybe I can help." Zhang Qiuxi thought of Warner Bros., although there is not much contact, at least there is a relationship, and it should not be a problem to pull a thread.

"I'm not in a hurry, I'll talk about it when I really can't do it. We are confident in this film, and we should be able to negotiate a film company cooperation. Zhang Qiuxi also understands the situation with Warner Bros. Li Changhua, so there is no need for her to owe favors until the last resort.

Zhang Qiuxi nodded, she was also confident, because the script was copied by her, and the movie in the original time and space was rave reviews and won numerous awards.

"Speaking of Warner Bros., there are reports that The Matrix has also been booked, so it should be released soon, right?"

"Who knows, the movies in North America will be scheduled before they start shooting, and the schedules in three or five years will be full, and who knows if Warner Bros. will be the same." Zhang Qiuxi only heard that he had already started preparing for filming, but now he really doesn't know what the situation is.

While the two were talking, the doorbell rang, and Li Changhua stood up and said with a smile: "The Lord is here." Ah Qiu, calling you back today is actually to help him make an appointment with you. ”

When Zhang Qiuxi was stunned for a moment, Li Changhua had already gone to open the door and brought people in, and he was also an old acquaintance, Wang Liqun of Century Film and Television, her martial arts novel adaptation rights have always been sold to Century Film and Television.

"It turned out to be Uncle Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time." Zhang Qiuxi was very casual in front of the Li family, and it was still necessary to be polite when the guests arrived, so he stood up and said hello.

"Teacher Xiqiu, I'm here to ask you again this time." Wang Liqun sat down with a smile, he used to call Zhang Qiu Xixian's niece, but now he has become a teacher who cherishes Qiu with the tide.

Calling Xian's niece always feels like a big one, and now Zhang Qiuxi's identity is worthy of his respect, even if there is a relationship with Li Changhua in the middle, so he changed his title.

"Uncle Wang, what are you?" Wang Liqun got straight to the point, but Zhang Qiuxi was a little confused, and he didn't know what he was asking for.

"Lao Wang, he still came to buy the adaptation rights with you this time." Li Changhua first explained her doubts, and then went to pour Wang Liqun a cup of tea.

"So that's what happened." Zhang Qiuxi realized that there seemed to be nothing she could help with other than this, and then said: "Uncle Wang, the copyright of the Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword has been sold to you before, hasn't the filming started yet?" And I don't seem to have the rights to sell it now. ”

Wang Liqun said: "Teacher Xiqiu, you are humble, now Detective Di Renjie is the most popular mystery novel, we just want the adaptation rights of this work." ”

Zhang Qiuxi really wanted to say that he was greedy and chewed too much, so he would shoot "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" first, but this was not suitable for saying, so he could only say: "Uncle Wang, Di Renjie, I just serialized the second story, even if you make a weekly drama, you will soon catch up with the progress of the novel, and you can't shoot it." ”

may have guessed Zhang Qiuxi's doubts, Wang Liqun said: "We also know that I originally wanted to shoot the amorous swordsman Ruthless Sword, but most of the company thinks that seeing a series of martial arts dramas will make the audience aesthetically fatigued, in order to achieve better results, it is better to cool down first." ”

From "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" to "Xiao Shiyi Lang", Century Film and Television has been created as an annual drama, and it has also achieved great success, which really makes people feel that their company specializes in martial arts dramas.

Li Changhua also said: "This is true, not only will the audience be aesthetically tired after watching too much, but it will also create an established image for the company." TV series need to be sold to TV stations, and now Century Film and Television martial arts dramas are trump cards, and it is estimated that TV stations will not have confidence in this if they want to switch to other types in the future. ”

It seems to be a bit exaggerated, Zhang Qiuxi doesn't understand it very well, but Li Changhua and Wang Liqun are both professionals, since they must be justified in saying this, they can only spread their hands and say: "Then I have no choice, the four paint screens and the dripping eagle together are not enough for a TV series, unless the plot is dragged out during filming." ”

"If the reasoning type of plot drags on, it will be over." Wang Liqun knew that this would ruin the atmosphere of the story, and said: "So what we are thinking is, Mr. Xiqiu, can you put the serialization thing aside for the time being, and authorize us to finish the story in one go, and then the magazine is slowly serializing." ”

"It also takes time for us to film, and we may not be able to finish filming after you finish the serialization, and it will not affect it. For us, it is a big reduction in time, if it is not for the fact that you have too little content in each issue, you can write and shoot at the same time. ”

Zhang Qiuxi shook his head and said, "Uncle Wang, this is not good. Di Renjie is the most difficult work I have created since I started writing, otherwise I wouldn't have only serialized less than 20,000 words per issue, and I wouldn't have been able to speed it up. ”

She didn't think it was a good idea, and it was really hard to write, and she couldn't spare that much time for other things to do. continued: "Besides, Detective Di Renjie is also a costume drama, so it doesn't help to change the established image of your company, right?" ”

"That's right, it's just that our company's attempt at fashion dramas has failed, and we originally prepared a military-themed one, but it was also aborted for various reasons, so I can only come to ask Mr. Xiqiu." Wang Liqun smiled helplessly. (To be continued)
