Chapter 144: Adaptation of the TV series

"Mr. Zombie" is a very important movie for Xiao Ran.

Although the box office is still not as good as "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and "The Legend of Ip Man", it has opened up a new market in the field of supernatural movies, which is the least valued.

This is also the reason why the fifth senior brother Wu Zhengying was able to rise to the position so quickly, and Xiao Ran dared to invest in him to set up a new film company.

This new Zhengying Film Company will basically be wholly owned by Xiao Ran, and the future film investment and publicity expenses will also be covered by Xiao Ran!

Because in this brand-new field, Wu Zhengying will become the most recognized image of the zombie Taoist by the audience, which is something that later imitators cannot do.

So although the movie "The Legend of Ip Man" made Xiao Ran's father Xiao Yuanshan receive a lot of praise, and the box office of the whole movie was also very good, it still couldn't make Xiao Yuanshan stand out.

At this time, Xiao Yuanshan can only be regarded as a very good kung fu movie actor, but there are many excellent kung fu movie actors, so Xiao Yuanshan must use more kung fu movies to consolidate his position in the film industry, and better yet, he can get relevant film awards.

But Wu Zhengying answered much more simply, because there was no decent image of a zombie Taoist before him, so Wu Zhengying suddenly became the only zombie Taoist image in everyone's minds with "Mr. Zombie", which is difficult for other actors to shake.

"Mrs. Lu, please be seated!"

In the recently established Zhengying Film Company, Xiao Ran received Tao Huawen, a visitor from Yida Group.

"Xiao Ran, congratulations on the establishment of a new film company, I didn't expect your rise in the film industry to be so exaggerated. More powerful than you in the music world. ”

Tao Huawen praised Xiao Ran with a smile on his face.

Then the two exchanged a lot of words, more of which was just flattering each other. Because both of them know that now each other's bargaining chips have changed.

It is difficult for Yida Group to ask Xiao Ran to be affiliated with the company Xingyi City. In fact, Xiao Ran's promise of five movies a year is actually a very advantageous condition for Xingyi City.

Because don't look at the fact that there are many people who claim to be big directors in the film industry, but in fact, there are many directors who find it difficult to guarantee even one movie a year, but in addition to the five movies in Xingyi City, Xiao Ran can also take time out to shoot other movies that belong to his own investment, and it can only be said that he is very powerful!

Such characters can cooperate. But it can no longer be erased, so for the sake of better cooperation between each other, it is actually the most beneficial for Yida Group to let Xiao Ran play freely now.

The film industry is a very realistic small society, if the premiere box office of "Mr. Zombie" is not good, then in the eyes of Yida Group, you can tie him to his chariot and let him specialize in shooting kung fu movies to make money for himself.

But in a completely new field, Xiao Ran made a head. Therefore, Lu Yuesheng's attitude is also very resolute, and he fully supports Xiao Ran to open other film companies!

Tao Wenhua also began to get down to business at this time: "Xiao Ran, in fact, in addition to congratulating you today, I also need your help in one more matter. I wonder if you can promise me? ”

Xiao Ran seemed a little vigilant, but he also believed that Tao Wenhua should not be the kind of person who went back on his word, and he now had bigger chips in his hands. If he turns his face, he can still survive in the film industry.

"So do you need my help, is it also within the terms of our cooperation?"

Xiao Ran's attitude was very clear. You just can't add other conditions, otherwise you want to turn your face. He can still get the support and cooperation of other theaters.

Of course, things are far from being so strict, unless Tao Wenhua is brain is broken, he will let Xiao Ran, a gold-absorbing machine, throw himself into the arms of other theaters.

So Tao Wenhua smiled kindly and said: "It's actually a little personal problem, I know you should have more movie plans in the future, so I hope to be able to let the little girl Xueyan join your team, she has liked movies very much since she was a child, and you also know that her reputation is not very good, if you can change the public's opinion of her through the characters in some movies, it would be good, but this is my personal request, so I dare not ask for an important role, as long as she can show her face, It's okay to play the nature of the ticket, so that we don't have to worry about her problems all the time......"

Tao Wenhua said it very politely, but in essence, it was actually the result of the discussion between the husband and wife, because the two only had one daughter under their knees, and Lu Xueyan's orientation was the most worrying problem for the two, plus the image problem was not good, so it was definitely a good thing to let her daughter get close to Xiao Ran.

On the one hand, Xiao Ran is a young talent, a peerless genius rarely seen in the entertainment industry in a hundred years, there is no harm in Lu Xueyan having more contact with him, on the other hand, playing several roles in his movies can change the public's opinion of her, and the most important thing is that Tao Huawen and Lu Yuesheng are optimistic about Xiao Ran, hoping that he can become the son-in-law of Yida Group, of course, even if it doesn't work, it can be regarded as a great merit to break Lu Xueyan from a bend to a straight.

This request is actually not a problem for Xiao Ran, and Tao Huawen made it very clear that it is not to bring money into the crew, and he does not need to give important roles, and he needs a lot of female roles to shoot movies, anyway, he also has to spend money to hire actors, for example, Ren Tingting in "Mr. Zombie" needs a beautiful female role, but there are not too many scenes.

So Xiao Ran didn't care and said: "I can agree to this, but what is Mrs. Lu's scale?" Which roles are unacceptable to you, you'd better make it clear at once. ”

Tao Huawen also seemed very indifferent and said: "As long as it is not a character who strips and sells meat, which affects the face of my Lu family, it is acceptable." ”

At this time, Xiao Ran also had a prank idea, and said directly: "Then if you want to change the concept of the masses, in fact, playing a clown is the best, just like our second senior brother Lei Xiaolong of the Xiao family, who is now taking such a type of actor route, I don't know if Mrs. Lu can accept it." ”

Tao Wenhua hesitated for a moment, feeling that it was just a role in a play, and Lei Xiaolong did win the love of many audiences because of such a role, and after all, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, so Tao Huawen nodded and said, "No problem." ”

After sending Tao Wenhua away, Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it, he was a human being in two lives, how could he not see Tao Wenhua's purpose?

Naturally, she also knew that she had taken a fancy to herself and wanted to match herself with Lu Xueyan, but one problem was that Xiao Ran was unwilling to be sorry for Tang Yun, because he thought that which man in this world could have been lucky enough to get a confidant who was willing to wait for him for five years?

Another problem is that even if there is no Tang Yun, Xiao Ran still can't fall in love with a brainless rich girl like Lu Xueyan, so it is naturally impossible for Xiao Ran to agree to this matter.

But let Lu Xueyan play the harlequin, Xiao Ran felt that it didn't matter, and it was very funny!

……

The new Zhengying Film Company was successfully opened, and Xiao Ran also planned to start filming new zombie movies again after the release of "Mr. Zombie", but now he is facing the problem of another TV station.

That is, Yanjing Satellite TV came forward through Shao Hua and found Xiao Ran again, one is to hope that Xiao Ran will serve as the spokesperson of The Voice of China, in fact, it is to provide the copyright of some photos as publicity, and promote the Voice of China on some programs of Yanjing Satellite TV, so that more people can continue to pay attention to this program.

In fact, the biggest contributor to this show being so popular today is naturally Xiao Ran, and Xiao Ran has also become the biggest beneficiary of this show, which can be regarded as mutual benefit.

In addition, Yanjing Satellite TV's price is not low, and Xiao Ran is also willing to use guò's own success, so that more new forces interested in the music industry can continue to persevere, so he agreed to Yanjing Satellite TV's first cooperation request

The second cooperation requirement is that Yanjing Satellite TV hopes to buy the copyright of Xiao Ran's martial arts novel on "Minbao" and start filming a new TV series, which Xiao Ran asked very clearly.

"Brother Shao Hua, since you come forward, the two of us are also old acquaintances, there is no need to be polite, you can tell me directly, which martial arts novel did you like on TV?"

Shao Hua heard that Xiao Ran was not so polite to ordinary people when he spoke to him, but felt that this person was a man with a true temperament, and his good impression of him was deeper, and he said directly: "This time, I hope to buy the copyright of "Dragon Babu", and Yanjing Satellite TV will invest heavily in filming this TV series, and will also use this drama as our annual drama and broadcast it in prime time." ”

Xiao Ran nodded and said, "That's not bad." ”

In fact, in Xiao Ran's opinion, now "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has not ended in serialization, so it is normal for Yanjing Satellite TV to be safe and not talk about buying "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" first, but the first "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" itself is a series of martial arts novels with reasoning and suspense, which is actually not very suitable for filming into a TV series, but should be made into a movie in the form of a series of each movie.

So if Yanjing Satellite TV is interested in "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", Xiao Ran may not agree, for fear that if it is not filmed well, it will mess up this drama, but "Dragon Babu" does not have this problem, and Xiao Ran has recently watched some Chinese-made TV series and movies when he has time, and began to slowly ponder what the number of movies and TV series loved by the audience in this world is.

Therefore, he is very confident that if "Dragon Babu" is adapted well, it will definitely become an annual drama with long ratings!

"I wonder who you're going to put in charge of this play?"

At this time, Xiao Ran asked a topic that made Shao Hua feel a little strange. (To be continued......)
