Chapter 52: The Troubles of Happiness
Wang Liqun said the budget and the scheduled lineup, in fact, it was to express to Zhang Qiuxi that their company attaches great importance to "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", and no one would want their works to be despised so that it would be easier to obtain the author's consent.
With Li Changhua's relationship, Century Film and Television is unlikely to find an excuse to lower the price, and the copyright fee will be calculated at least according to the market price, but the adaptation is really not the most important thing for the current Zhang Qiuxi, the important thing is whether this work will be ruined, and the attention of Century Film and Television does make her gratified.
"Uncle Wang, I have only finished writing one of the legends of Chu Liuxiang now, and it is expected that there will be at least three of them, is it too early to start planning now?" Zhang Qiuxi still couldn't help but ask this question.
"Lao Li also told me about your writing plan before, and we both felt that it was not a problem." Wang Liqun smiled and said: "You serialize at least 40,000 words of content a month, and when we get your authorization to go back to the Great Desert, it should be over, and it will take time to prepare, and the third part will definitely be over when the filming of the third part really starts, right?" â
"Besides, it can be divided into three parts, so no matter how slow your writing progress is, it is not a problem."
"That's good, in fact, I'm very happy that the work can be put on the screen." Zhang Qiuxi said that the matter of authorization is not a problem, but he also continued: "But let Qi Haoran play Chu Liuxiang, I can forget it, anyway, you shouldn't have talked about this matter now, it's too late to replace people, right?" â
Before the copyright was discussed, it was decided that the cast was impossible, Wang Liqun nodded and said: "This is the lineup we plan to invite, because Qi Haoran has been very popular in recent years, he is a popular idol, and he has been developing towards film and television recently, we feel that he can drive popularity, after all, he is very popular among young people." â
"Qi Haoran sings well, but his ancient costume is too ugly, and his voice is weird enough, which is not suitable for the personable Chu Liuxiang at all. Uncle Wang, I mean to replace him. â
"Well, I told you before, right?" Li Changhua interjected with a smile: "I told you before, Qi Haoran is not suitable for this role, our company invited him to make a movie, just like Ah Qiu said, his voice is easy to play, and he can't say anything about acting skills, if you really want to choose him as the protagonist, in addition to catering to his fans, the rest of the audience is equivalent to giving up." â
Unexpectedly, the two had communicated on this issue before, and Wang Liqun said: "Since you all think it can't be done, let's change it, and the film and television adaptation also needs to respect the opinions of the original author." Niece Xian, do you have any other ideas that you can put forward, let's work together to make this drama a good one. â
"Uncle Wang, I don't understand the matter of filming, so I can only leave it to you, but I do have a request." Zhang Qiuxi said: "I also know that it needs to be adapted to put the novel on the screen, but I hope not to deviate from the original book as much as possible, especially not to mess with the mandarin duck score and match the characters randomly." â
Originally, in time and space, none of the TV series adapted from the novels of Master Gu could be watched by novel readers, and they were all adapted in a mess, and Zhang Qiuxi would hurt every time he saw it.
Feng Siniang will actually marry Yang Kaitai, Xiao Yu'er will actually be with Xiao Chili Zhang Jing, and Ah Fei will actually become a couple with Sun Xiaohong......
This kind of nonsense has a tendency to intensify, and after being adapted into countless versions, Master Jin's works will inevitably escape the poisonous hands of those brain-dead screenwriters, and in the new version, Ling Hu Chong has successfully NTR Yang Lianting, and the next "Condor Heroes" will become a love triangle story between Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo and Yin Zhiping.
In this way, the theme song can be selected "I gave my heart to you, and my body gave it to him", which is absolutely perfect.
The same is true of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", in a certain version, Chu Liuxiang not only became Li **'s apprentice, but also became the prince of a certain country, as for the latest version, Zhang Qiuxi was even more reluctant to mention it, so let the actor who looks like Avanti sell mutton skewers.
"That's not a problem, we can say yes." Wang Liqun nodded, and Zhang Qiuxi smiled: "That's okay, I hope I won't live up to Uncle Wang, and I also hope that the ratings will be long-lived." â
ââââââ
The film and television adaptation of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" was negotiated, and Zhang Qiuxi could be regarded as another step, and the same was true for the magazine on her side, and the issue number was approved by Shun LĂŹ, and the publicity made by her Weibo also achieved good results.
"There's good news, should I reveal it in advance?" This tricky ** has been forwarded more than a thousand, and there are hundreds of comments.
"What do you think of a magazine called a soloist? Do you feel the urge to buy it when you hear the name? There was no direct answer to the fans' questions about what the good news was, but it was already clear.
"Haha (smiley), everyone guessed right, I founded the magazine with the original editor in charge, Hongdou, the name is the solo group, and it will be approved soon, and everyone will support it when the time comes. @红čą. â
"That's where our magazine works, and it's not too small. In addition, the official website of the magazine has been built, please pay more attention, portal. In addition to the link to the official website, I also posted a photo of the magazine this time.
"I'm so excited, the issue number has finally been approved, so that I can meet you soon, and if you have any works to contribute to us, no matter what the subject is." This time, attached is the call for papers and a photo of Zhang Qiuxi.
These micro-blogs were not posted by Zhang Qiuxi himself, and the more they were forwarded later, the more they were forwarded, and countless fans rushed to express their support, and under the reprint reports of the media, they completely met their expectations.
Coming to the magazine again, it has become orderly, Zhang Qiuxi sat in a reserved position for her and said: "You can promote it, why do you want to secretly take my photos and send them?" â
"Men are visual creatures, you as their dream ** to give a little welfare to better capture their hearts, so that they spare no effort to support our magazine, and the facts have proved that this is correct." Hongdou, the initiator, not only didn't care about Zhang Qiuxi's complaints, but also was very proud of this move.
"What a dream, they just like my work." Zhang Qiuxi's defense is somewhat pale, the statement of welfare makes him very depressed, once upon a time he was the one who left an email address to ask for a network disk address, but now it has become welfare.
"It doesn't matter if you like works or people, as long as it has an effect." Shangguan Jin didn't feel anything wrong with this at all, and then said, "Hurry up and take out your manuscript, it's time for us to start editing the content of the first issue of the magazine." â
ââââââ
The successful counterattack of S. Dunte is in trouble again, his lover disappears after breaking up with him, and he himself falls to a strange planet where Dent becomes a highly respected master of bun making.
After a long period of exile, the sad Dent found peace of mind in making steamed buns again, but the universe is still not at peace, all kinds of disasters are coming, and the worst thing is that the editorial office of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is about to be merged.
Dent's old friend has always been committed to getting the newsroom to reimburse him for his alcohol expenses, so he has a keen sense of smell for the newsroom's finances, and after sensing the merger plot, he narrowly escaped the hunt, and he naturally thought of Dent when he was isolated.
ââââââ
"Basically Harmless" is the final finale, Zhang Qiuxi handed over the manuscript and said: "The manuscript is too pediatric, and the question that bothers me now is, which of you wants to take on another job?" â
"Can you help out if you have the leisure to joke?" Hongdou looked at the computer screen without raising his head, Zhang Qiuxi slid the boss's chair over, and said: "Am I serious, okay, after talking about copyright twice, I feel more and more that it is necessary to find a literary agent, it is said that this profession is very popular in Europe and the United States." â
The copyright in the United States has been finalized, and it can also be sold to Europe, and it can also be translated into Japanese and Korean, there are so many countries and so many languages in the world, if Zhang Qiuxi has to negotiate the copyright by himself, wouldn't he be exhausted, so I feel that finding someone to be in charge of the operation is the king.
This is not a fantasy, originally in time and space, both "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and "I, the Machine QĂŹ Man" have been translated into many languages and sold around the world, and they have all been made into movies, judging from the sales in the United States, Zhang Qiuxi's version can also reach this point.
This person is sometimes too successful and can bring some troubles to himself.
"Are you here today to show off?" Hongdou said angrily: "As one of the founders of the magazine, can you also contribute?" â
"Didn't I already write the manuscript?"
"If it's just for the purpose of publishing your work, then let's just set up a publishing house." Hongdou looked a little irritable and said: "We have only received more than 300 submissions so far, of which more than seventy percent are science fiction novels, which are clearly written, how can it still be recognized as a science fiction magazine?" â
"Uh, is it the reason why you think your remuneration is too low?" The fewer manuscripts received, the lower the chance of being able to produce a high-quality product.
"Two hundred to five hundred words per thousand words is also a high standard in the industry."
"Everyone understands people, just say two hundred words a thousand words, and there is no need for the back."
"That's a lot, when you signed a contract with Fantasy World, it was only a thousand words."
