Chapter 361: To Make a Movie
The place where Xu Binglei came to live was indeed Li Xiaoli's home, Li Xiaoli had already gone to work, and Long Dan deliberately did not go to work because he was waiting for Xu Binglei and Feng Dagang, and was waiting at home. Seeing Xu Binglei coming, he smiled and let Xu Binglei and Feng Dagang into the room and made two cups of tea for the two of them. Xu Binglei said suspiciously: "Brother Long, won't it be you who is the author of the Spring Call?" Can't I write novels? ”。 When Xu Binglei heard this, she said in surprise: "Brother Long, you really wrote it?" It's so surprising, how can you, a busy person, have the leisure to write a novel, and the writing is not bad, it's really incomprehensible." Feng Dagang can understand on the side, after all, Feng Dagang, as a well-known director in China, has seen too many people and sophistication, what strange things have not happened?
Feng Dagang asked Long Dan and said, "Brother Long, now that Binglei's company has just started, I need to make a movie to gather popularity, I read your novel on the 24K website and think it's good, I want to make him into a movie first, what do you think?" ”。 Long Dan saw the sincerity of what Feng Dagang said, so he said: "Director Feng, my novel is not in line with the current trend, the current novels are all love, fantasy, and nonsense, do you think it can be a blockbuster if it is made into a movie?" ”。 Feng Dagang said heroically: "Brother Long, you should understand me, I have never been a trend-follower, but a trend advocate, why should we follow the trend, we must formulate the direction of the trend."
Long Dan asked: "Director Feng, then tell me, how can I make this novel wonderful?" Director Feng said confidently: "Brother Long, your novel is attractive enough just as the author, a super-rich man writes a novel, and he writes it so well, which is a selling point in itself." As soon as Long Dan heard this, he said: "Stop, Director Feng, I don't want you to use my name as a selling point, I'm already famous enough, it's too late to live an ordinary life, if you make a hype about me, it's impossible for me to live a quiet life."
Feng Dagang smiled and said: "Brother Long, don't worry, this is my ability, not only do I not use your real name, but even the stories in the plot are virtualized, let's have a virtual reality, true and false, so that it can resonate and interest the audience more, everyone guesses who the protagonist is, isn't it more attractive?" It would be too straightforward to write your real name." Long Dan smiled and said: "If you are worthy of being a great director, there is a way, then I will rest assured", at this time, Feng Dagang smiled and said: "Brother Long, I have a Jianyi, I don't know if you are willing to listen to it?" After Feng Dagang finished speaking, he glanced at Long Dan.
Long Dan said: "What do you have to say, let's listen to it", Feng Dagang said: "Is Brother Long interested in making a cameo?" ”。 When Long Dan heard this, he said, "Me? Cameo role, can I act? You're not kidding, are you? Feng Dagang said: "What's this, Jet Li is a martial arts athlete, isn't he famous for the first time acting, this actor needs to be talented, but it also depends on how the director directs, if I come to direct, even ordinary people can derive good results, not to mention that Brother Long is born with a kingly spirit, which is exactly what actors need." Long Dan said: "No, no, forget it, in that case, my home will really become the object of the paparazzi's pursuit."
Xu Binglei was also thinking about what kind of person she needed to find to play if she filmed "Tianyan Dust", and when she heard Feng Dagang say that she wanted Long Dan to play the protagonist of her novel, her eyes lit up again. Since Long Dan helped Xu Binglei set up an acting company, Xu Binglei has a vague expectation in her heart, as if something should happen to Long Dan. This expectation gave rise to the idea of wanting to get close to Long Dan, and listening to Director Feng say that let Long Dan make a cameo, Xu Binglei was naturally very willing. But seeing that Long Dan politely rejected Director Feng's request, Xu Binglei couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart.
Xu Binglei said: "Brother Long, do you have any requirements for the adaptation of "Tianyan Dust" into a script?" ", Long Dan said: "There are no requirements, I believe in Director Feng's ability, but I have a little bit of a construction, anyway, I write novels to pass the time, don't mention the copyright royalty or something, but if you adapt it, don't be like some scripts adapted from Jin Yong's novels, just change it beyond recognition, individual episodes are forgivable according to the plot, but if the author's original intention is changed in a mess, I don't approve of it." Feng Dagang said: "Brother Long, don't worry about this, I won't have children myself, I still have a set of taking care of children and cultivating children, and I will never scribble other people's works indiscriminately; It's just that in the process of changing, I have to consult Brother Long often, and Brother Long should not shirk and say that he doesn't have time."
Long Dan smiled and said: "No, I don't have time for others to find me, you Director Feng Da came to me, I am still very happy, without your assistance, Binglei's company can't play, which will require Director Feng to spend some energy." Feng Dagang said: "Brother Long, I didn't say it, thanks to Binglei who thinks so highly of me, I have no other skills, I still have the ability to make some good movies", Xu Binglei said: "Brother Long, Director Feng is the main force of the company, I want to give 2% of the company's shares to Director Feng, do you think it is appropriate?" ”
Long Dan said: "What's inappropriate, as long as Director Feng doesn't dislike it, it's no problem to have more, as long as your company does well, I can also push the company to the stock market, so that every shareholder can benefit." When Feng Dagang heard this, he was happy in his heart, this Long Dan is really a generous person, and he didn't have any contributions, so he asked Xu Binglei to give him 2% of the shares, which is a genuine 40 million funds, if it is listed, it will be at least 10 to 20 times higher, and he will become a billionaire. Then you have to really make a contribution, don't let Long Dan look down on you.
Feng Dagang said: "Then I thank Brother Long, I still have a question, I want to ask, I have a few good friends who want to join in, I don't know if Brother Long is willing to do it?" ”。 Long Dan asked, "What kind of friend?" Feng Dagang said: "Brother Long, I heard Binglei say that you set aside some shares to give to some entertainers, these friends of mine are very well-known in the entertainment industry, you see, whether you absorb them, of course, I am not giving them away for nothing, just let them pay some money, anyway, these stars are not bad for money."
Long Dan said: "Yes, but you and Binglei have to check it, don't let anyone in, just like those who have prostitutes, drugs, and messy people will be exempted, and the province will damage the image of our company." Feng Dagang immediately said: "Brother Long, I will pay attention to this, the people in my circle are basically still passing, and they will definitely not let Brother Long worry." Long Dan said: "Binglei, then you can see that it is done, if the reserved shares are not enough, take out some of my shares and try to satisfy them."
Long Dan took out a USB flash drive and gave it to Feng Dagang, and said: "This is the entire manuscript of "Tianyan Dust", I haven't finished updating it on the 24K website, so I'll give it to you first, it's only updated to 361 chapters now, and it will take 700 chapters to finish, so you just look at the screenwriter." Feng Dagang said happily: "Then I'll take a look first, and then discuss with you what needs to be changed, Brother Long, let me ask you, do you have a writing plan for the next part?" ”。 When Long Dan heard this, he smiled and asked, "Director Feng, you haven't filmed the first part yet, do you want to miss my second part?" Feng Dagang said: "Brother Long, I like your writing style very much, not like the popular novels now, it looks lively but without brain, and it is not interesting at all in retrospect, I have carefully analyzed the novels you wrote, although they have been fictionalized, but they are all things that exist in reality, they are real literary works, art comes from life, and works that are divorced from life cannot last long, even if they win eyeballs, they can't stand scrutiny; For example, Guo Mingming's movie "The Great Era" and Han Leng's movie "Regret Indefinitely", I don't know if you have seen it, using your super fan base, you have earned enough eyeballs and silver, but you are really a dog's tail mink."
Long Dan smiled and said: "Hehe, I really haven't seen it, a person who hasn't even gone to high school can be a director, and the movies he makes will know what happened for a while, I'm not saying that if you haven't gone to school, you won't have a vegetarian zhì, but a person who has never been in contact with the literary and artistic circle can also be a director, it's a bit too much, and it's a waste of effort to watch, it's better to watch more Guo Degang's cross talk It's much fun." When Feng Dagang heard this, he slapped his thigh, and said excitedly: "Yes, Brother Long, what did you say about it now, the non-mainstream sketches in the underground theater have all become elegant, and those who sell bullshit plasters can be directors, but it really makes us who have been engaged in acting for many years ashamed, and I don't know what is wrong with the current society, Huang Zhong destroyed the clay kettle and thundered."
Long Dan said: "Director Feng, it seems that the two of us have a common language, so let's do it, I have written 1,000 chapters in my second novel, called "Official Road Life", which is not very suitable for making a movie, what I wrote is the ugliness of officialdom, it is a work that is not very harmonious, even if it is made into a movie, it will not be reviewed; But I've already conceived a third novel, which is a fantasy work, and I've already thought of a name, and if it were made into a movie, it would be a blockbuster." Feng Dagang came to love as soon as he heard it, so he asked in detail about the writing outline of Long Dan's conception outline, and said excitedly: "Brother Long, it's so good, others think that I can only make light comedies and witty dramas, but they don't know, I also like to make fantasy blockbusters, but there has never been a suitable script, I listened to your third novel concept, it is comparable to "The Matrix", I decided, as long as Brother Long writes him, I make him into a movie, it will definitely be a sensation."
Long Dan smiled and said: "Hehe, I don't have such high expectations, I just hope that what I write will be read by someone and won't be buried", Feng Dagang said: "No wonder Brother Long has created such a big family business, I really admire it, that is, in terms of writing alone, if you write full-time, you can also enter the rich circle with the annual copyright fee; Of course, Brother Long is not necessary, you just write for leisure", Feng Dagang remembered something as soon as he finished speaking, and asked Long Dan: "Brother Long, what is the name of your third novel?" ”。
