Chapter 418: Messing Around
The news that Shen Zhenghui is going to continue to shoot a TV series has spread all over the domestic entertainment industry, and even which one he wants to shoot has been spread. This novel, which was signed on the Zongheng Book Station, has soared in both clicks and collections in a short period of time, and even the comments in the comment area have increased a lot more than before. Of course, there were also pantothenic acid to the comment area to wantonly attack the book as a bad book, jealous of the author's good luck and make personal attacks, but then his message was deleted by the enthusiastic deputy moderator. The comment area is full of congratulatory messages from loyal fans, prospects for the TV series, speculation about who will play various roles, and so on.
The reaction of the entertainment industry is certainly more violent than that of ordinary book lovers and viewers. Shen Zhenghui's name has almost become a legend in recent years, whether it is a small star or a big star in China, they all want to hug his thighs, but unfortunately others only mix in Hollywood, but when it comes to the filming of "Red Dawn", even if they know that this is a very risky TV series, there are still people who devote themselves to it without hesitation, when the results of the final film come out, and then compare the results of the propaganda department's handling of the bell, more and more people regret that they did not seize the opportunity. originally didn't expect this movie demon king to continue to watch the lowB of TV series, but who knew that Shen Zhenghui seemed to be addicted, after the filming of "Red Dawn" set off a wave of domestic left-right battles, he actually went abroad to continue filming TV series.
Don't say that he was reported by his real name before he went abroad, according to this incident, party members in the entertainment industry had to be expelled from the party one by one. In the end, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection actually came out and made a conclusion, and everyone couldn't help but think about it. "War 1938", a Mary Sue novel written by a little girl in China, after the filming of the TV series. is actually popular all over the European continent, flashing the eyes of a vote of people's kryptonite dogs, and the entertainment industry is generally jealous of Chen Wei. In addition to the white skin, there are less than five yellow characters in this TV series, Chen Wei plays the most important, and then she became popular all over the world with this TV series, and has rushed to the bigger dye vat in Hollywood, her relatives, friends and classmates came out for interviews either with a taste of showing off or a sour taste. In the entertainment industry, anyone who thinks he looks okay can't be calm in such a situation. The little actors are like this, and the big actors are even more sad. When they can't see Chen Wei's hard work when they are in the crew, and when they just look at the effect of the performance, many people feel that they will not be much worse than Chen Wei, and feel that Chen Wei is famous. Shen Zhenghui's role is greater. So the news of this "Ruling the World" has just blown out, and in addition to the major agents in the entertainment industry who have begun to exert their energy to go to the relationship, the actors have also calmed down and started to read the plot and figure out the characters with a printed version of "Ruling the World".
Of course, what is more heartwarming is probably the novel industry, Shen Zhenghui has been panning for gold in online novels one after another, and one by one Internet writers have become famous, and by the way, the entire online literature industry has also attracted more investment. It made the physical author red-eyed. This guy's energy is too great, and he can get Chinese young authors to publish novels all over the world at every turn. In this way, one work paves the way, and the subsequent works will continue to make money along this road. The physical fiction industry is shrinking, and regular publishers, even state-owned entities, are beginning to try to dig up works on the Internet. The physical authors feel as if they are being pushed away by the wheels of history, and even if Mo Yan wins the Nobel Prize in Literature, it can't make them fill the sense of loss, after all, this kind of honor is a game for a few, and it's useless to say anything if the entire industry can't make money. The Writers' Association has taken active action, and the Online Writers' Association has been established as a subordinate unit of the Writers' Association, and the big names in the online novel industry have also accepted the official recruitment and become the chairman and vice chairman. However, this does little to increase the cake of entity authors. Not to mention physical books, in recent years, the influence of TV series and movie styles on Shen Zhenghui has also begun to change, and physical authors find that they can no longer be compared with online writers, they have a larger base, are younger, and closer to the tastes of young audiences. Coupled with the example made by Shen Zhenghui and the influence of ATV, a group of old men of the Writers' Association had nothing but to complain at the meeting and shed tears -- the taste of Chinese society is getting lower and lower. After Shen Zhenghui's TV series conquered the world, such a complaint became - the taste of the people of the world is getting lower and lower.
Shen Zhenghui also began to make his own preparations, this time to be able to release it in Chinese mainland first, which is a very good start, and it is very necessary to maintain such an environment. As a result, cooperation with all parties is inevitable, and even some interests must be taken to take the initiative. Of course, it is impossible to broadcast on CCTV1, after the struggle of all parties, CCTV8 got the exclusive premiere right, but the major TV stations are not vegetarians, their broadcast time is 1-7 days later than CCTV8, Shen Zhenghui originally counted on the network broadcast time can only be postponed to 7 days, but the version of the network broadcast has tidbits and additional small classes and other content, Shen Zhenghui originally wanted to continue to maintain the frequency of 1-2 episodes per week, but at the strong request of CCTV and major satellite TV stations, had to be changed to a frequency of one episode per day from Monday to Friday. It is a matter of principle that the television stations of the Celestial Empire cannot learn from the traditions of Japanese television.
However, because of this, Shen Zhenghui's copyright was sold at a high price, and CCTV8's purchase of copyright alone was enough to return 1/3 of the budget, but it also required him to control the filming and production process at a very fast pace. If other people dare to buy the copyright before the TV series is filmed, the major TV stations will definitely spit on you. But Shen Zhenghui is different after all, he has already done this kind of thing on the online platform, and it is not the first time. Then, his fame is big enough, just like Gu Long can advance the manuscript fee, and big directors like Zhang and Feng can get investment at will, and Shen Zhenghui's ability to buy the copyright in advance has naturally become the privilege of his fame.
However, this does not mean that Shen Zhenghui can start shooting casually, this time he has a little more preparation. First of all, he has to contact the original author and communicate with the original author about the main story line and creative intention. Ensure consistency throughout the TV series. You know, this novel is not over yet, and who knows what the final ending will be? Is the protagonist finally out of parliamentary democracy, or the Senate? What is the relationship between the emperor and the protagonist in the end, and is the protagonist a minister or a master in the end? These all affect the style that controls the entire TV series in the first place.
The writer, whose pen name is Godzilla, had the excitement of winning the lottery after meeting Shen Zhenghui, but he regained his composure when he began to talk about the adaptation of the work in detail. He said he had quit his job and was ready to devote all his energy to the novel while writing new content according to the outline. While revising the original old content, the novel was written as soon as possible to facilitate Shen Zhenghui's adaptation.
"Eh, is it really okay for you to quit your job and write full-time?"
"No problem." Godzilla was a little squirming, "This copyright change fee is already a lot, and several publishing houses have recently contacted me to officially publish my novel." Estimate that by the time your TV series airs. Sales will climb dramatically, and in the case of "Red Dawn" and "War 1938," he licked his lips, "Based on what I've written now, I'll publish at least thirty or forty books, so this theoretical royalty is enough for me to spend a lifetime." Then he added, "And Kadokawa Shoten has already asked me to buy the rights to the Japanese version." ”
"Yikes. Looks like I'm a little late. Shen Zhenghui patted his head.
"yes," Godzilla didn't know what Shen Zhenghui was talking about. But it didn't prevent him from continuing the topic, "Actually, there are already printed pirated copies on Taobao now, and I went to see the transaction volume, and there are 180 sets a day!" Godzilla was also a little sad, "It would have been better if it had been published earlier." ”
"Forget it, piracy is not endless." Shen Zhenghui waved his hand, "Now that's the case, we need a group of experts in Song history, preferably experts who study the history of Wang Anshi before and after the reform to review the content of the plot, and serve as consultants for the actors, and then we also need to study the costumes, architecture, and decoration of the Song Dynasty as art consultants, and find a few people who have at least a minimum understanding of Song history to fill in and adapt the plot, and then there will be consultants who study the academic history and history of science and technology in the Song Dynasty, experts in ancient literature, I will communicate with you first, Personally, I respect the original author to the greatest extent, but to a certain extent, it is inevitable to revise and adapt the original work when filming a TV series. I hope you understand. ”
"Of course I understand," Godzilla's face was a mixture of excitement and depression, "but in the field of medieval Chinese history," he pouted, "it's not easy to find reliable people, let alone famous professors, even ordinary professors probably have no interest in this, of course, it's okay to use money," he smiled a little wryly, "but ten professors get together, and they themselves have to type 1, 2, 3 first." ”
"We don't need to find a professor!" Shen Zhenghui touched his nose, "Maybe I didn't make it clear, but since we have the original script and the main outline, then the role of experts is just to check and fill in the gaps, or to make the effect of our shooting seem unclear, we don't need their position at all, we just need their professional knowledge to use in the details." Our stance on history is based on the perspective of utilitarianism and modernity, and this is a principle. ”
Godzilla's eyes widened, "Uh, is that so?" ”
"Of course, otherwise, I'll just shoot Wang Anshi's changes in history, why do you want to find a novel script for a traverser?" Shen Zhenghui asked rhetorically, "The existence of the traverser is the biggest position, all history is contemporary history, just like the view of the Three Sus on the Six Kingdoms written in your novel, fundamentally speaking, they are not talking about the Six Kingdoms at all, but just talking about the current situation by talking about the Six Kingdoms." So, when it comes to our TV series, of course, we don't need to realistically reflect what the Song Dynasty was like, we want to take the eyes of the latecomers to examine and criticize the Song Dynasty, psychologically speaking, we have a sense of superiority of the time-travelers, so we don't need to reflect the views and realities of the Song Dynasty at all, for the time-traveler, the history he traveled through is actually used to test the historical vision and historical skills that he has as a time-traveler, which is the purpose and theme of our TV series. ”
"Ahh Godzilla patted his thigh hard, "Director Shen, what you said is so good, this is also the meaning of our writing a time-traveling novel!" ”
"Of course, if this meaning is recognized by people, then this meaning exists, if it is not recognized, then this meaning is our own talk, and what I am doing now to make a TV series is to hope that this meaning will be recognized."
Godzilla blinked, "It's hard, isn't it?" ”
"Try to do it," Shen Zhenghui replied, "online novels can also write works like 'Li Zicheng', even if they can't reach it artistically, they must achieve it spiritually." ”
Godzilla relaxed, "Can you tell me how you're going to choose someone?" ”
"We don't need professor-level experts, so ordinary researchers, such as graduate students, PhD students, etc., the most important thing is that they are interested in the project and can take the initiative to participate, rather than asking us to invite them." Shen Zhenghui pursed his lips, "What do you think about posting directly in Longkong in your name?" ”
"Posting in Longkong? In my name? ”
"yes, I'm afraid it's more troublesome to come out and do this in my name. You can recruit people under the guise of revising the script, and after your assessment and certification, you can directly hand over the manpower to the crew at that time, and we will pay for recruiting people. ”
"Can I do this?"
"I'll give you a couple of assistants."
"I've never done anything like this!"
"It's okay," Shen Zhenghui stared at Godzilla and said meaningfully, "This is to enhance the original author's right to speak," he said pretending to be serious, "The original author designates consultants, screenwriters, and art directors, instead of selling the copyright and ignoring it, Jin Yong and Qiong Yao's status is beckoning to online writers, you must seize this opportunity." ”
Godzilla was so deceived by these words that his blood swelled a little, and he didn't care that he had to update every day, "Okay, I'll come." ”
"I'll help you set up an office in Pingjing." Shen Zhenghui immediately clapped his head. (To be continued......)
