Yang Zhan is the future popular Duliang, this person joined the army as a teenager, resulting in some habits on his body are related to the army until now, such as he was destroyed by big fish and meat in the current business field, he has long been wide and fat, but when he sits down, his waist board that does not bend always gives people a very hard feeling; Another example is that he always keeps his face serious, which makes people look a bit like seeing a more dignified company CEO at first glance, and at second glance they will think that this is a staff officer with a fat belly in a certain agency......

This is the Du Liang that Shao Yingying saw, this person was looking for a publishing house all over the world with the first draft of "Bright Sword" some time ago, and even when asked about his profession by the editor of the publishing house, he strongly persuaded him to publish it at his own expense...... Now, he has become a best-selling author in the literary world, and the sales after the release of the bright sword have made many people unconvinced.

Shao Yingying is a layman, he doesn't know how to evaluate the artistry of a novel, but he understands that sales are always constant; This is like Shao Yingying rarely sets any artistic goals for himself, he doesn't plan to become a sore egg for literary and artistic youth, and he doesn't plan to win awards at any foreign film festival with a certain film. He cares about ratings, artistry varies from person to person, and ratings are the best standard for judging the quality of an actor and a drama in today's era when few people use money to brush it.

Don't forget that Shao Yingying has watched the history of the entertainment industry, and he knows that in the next few years, ratings have become something that cannot be believed, and a drama that invests millions can buy the top ten ratings of the TV station for an extra 700,000 yuan, and the fake makes people disdain.

"Mr. Yang, I read the book."

After Yang Zhan came to Shao Yingying's hotel-style apartment, he took off the down jacket on his body, and the gray shirt lined with no wrinkles.

"But ......" Shao Yingying scratched his head and said: "There are many things in the novel that are not suitable for the screen, not only because the censorship system does not allow it, but if these things are put on the screen, many viewers may not be able to accept them." ”

Yang Zhan looked at Shao Yingying and didn't speak, just waited quietly for Shao Yingying to finish speaking, and when they met for the first time, Yang Zhan behaved very restrained and rational.

"I know that Mr. Yang may be suspicious of this, after all, this is your work. However, we must consider what this work is put on the screen for, although this novel describes a chaotic era, but the people who watch the TV series are modern people, and the aesthetics of modern people cannot be the same as those eras. It's like 'Li Yunlong committed suicide' at the end of the novel, this must not be filmed, that kind of aggrieved helplessness and heartwarming helplessness when you think about it......"

"Don't you dare?" When Yang Zhan said these three words, his face was still expressionless, very calm, just like an ordinary chat. But he didn't let the young hero finish speaking, which already showed his attitude.

Shao Yingying shook his head and explained: "It doesn't matter if I dare or not. ”

"I'm also a screenwriter, Mr. Yang, you are from my point of view...... No, think about it from the perspective of an ordinary viewer, if there is a TV series that allows you to truly see a general with a distinct personality during the war years who can quickly attract you, and you are conquered by this general in the TV series, worried about his every military decision, smiled at the ridicule of him and his comrades-in-arms, and shocked by his farewell to his woman and his decision to avenge his orders...... Such an impressive and incomparably loved general committed suicide in the finale because of the particularity of the times, tell me, what evaluation do you give to this TV series? ”

"Don't talk about your thinking, give an objective evaluation of everything that an ordinary audience feels."

Yang Zhan thought for a moment: "Uh......"

The reason why Yang Zhan is willing to meet Shao Yingying so soon, instead of listening to all the conditions before deciding when discussing copyright with the other two companies, is mainly because he likes Shao Yingying's acting skills, from the time Feng Biao was around, he felt that this actor had a wild nature, and when he arrived in District 14, this wildness had spread to his heart, and when the mansion was broadcast, the seventh master who came back from Xiaolong River in Jinan Mansion with ruffians made him even more reluctant to leave his sight. He likes Shao Yingying's temperament on the screen, which is very consistent with Li Yunlong in his heart, full of adventurous spirit......

It's just that why did this popular domestic screenwriter and popular acting school want to cut the plot of his novel as soon as they met? Such a safe approach seems to ...... The point is, he also gave a reason that was so hard to refuse!

Who doesn't want to be red? Yang Zhan also wants to become a top screenwriter in China like Shao Yingying, to shoot what he wants to shoot, if he wants to be popular, he has to capture the psychology of the audience, then, Shao Yingying said all this, he has to endure it!

"Mr. Yang, don't worry, I haven't finished yet. It's not just that the ending isn't suitable for the screen, there's even some plot that can't be put on the screen, I mean, according to the schedule in the novel, pinch the beginning and the end, as long as the middle. ”

Seeing Yang Zhan's expression that was about to be angry, Shao Yingying continued: "Mr. Yang, please consider my suggestion, if you sell the copyright to Huayi, what I can guarantee is that you will become a screenwriter in the group, and you must participate in every subtle change to the novel, and will give you the greatest authority to restore the original Li Yunlong as much as possible." ”

When Du Liang was still considering whether to retain the integrity of the work and choose whether to believe it, Shao Yingying said: "I don't have to tell you these words first, after you sign the contract, the copyright belongs to Huayi, and at that time I can change it as I want, and the reason why I tell you now, instead of coaxing you to sign a contract like other companies, is completely out of my sincerity, one author's respect for another author." ”

Shao Yingying likes this book, this book writes the temper of the 'masters' during the war, and writes about a general who loves to take advantage of small advantages, is extremely deceitful during war, and is full of rich people's remarks about using the ammunition depot as a backyard vault. It's not a good TV series, but the protagonist is not a tall hero, but a flawed normal person who sheds tears!

Not only that, when watching this TV series, Shao Yingying could even see Du Liang's feelings and nostalgia for the army during his business years, so he talked to Du Liang with full sincerity.

Just imagine, when Xia Hai was just emerging, what were the merchants all over the land comparative? The business world at that time was very simple, just like a typical war drama on TV that loved the ---- party---- loved the --- country, and had to pay party dues with pickle pimples before dying; And after that? After the emergence of the first businessman who knew how to use the connections in the network to do business, the business world changed, and whoever was eloquent, tactful enough, more connected, and more connected could make money! is more shrewd, than no business and no treachery. It's like a Li Yunlong appeared in a typical war situation, looking so unique, so different, and so attractive.

Du Liang put his helpless situation in the shopping mall on Li Yunlong, and put his failure in the shopping mall on the little ----ghost -----, otherwise how could the special forces of the little ---- ghost ---- kidnap Li Yunlong's daughter-in-law, Li Yunlong can't write about the explosion of the 'hero' attribute of the pig's foot halo to save his beloved woman?

Shao Yingying can even be sure that Yang Zhan wrote Li Yunlong's plot is completely a mixture of emotions in the business world, maybe even he himself thinks this is an explosion of inspiration to add conflict to the plot. And this is just the best foreshadowing for authenticity, exchanging a shocking failure for the success of attacking the county, which is not only in line with the audience's worship of heroes, but also can use Li Yunlong's demotion to perfectly resolve everything.

Such a general, who is ruthless to the enemy, willing to risk discipline against himself, takes away the new military uniform from being robbed of his clothes, and is full of "he is --- his mother's ---" hugging the yellow flower girl and is embarrassed to admit it, can let everyone see the reality of the war period at once.

This completely satisfies the expectation that there are no superheroes such as "Batman" and "Spider-Man" in China, who makes the heroes of "Jin, Gu, Liang" have been tired of watching, and the protagonists of war dramas who talk like opening a party ---- meeting at every turn can no longer move people?

Du Liang nodded after thinking about it for a long time, and asked directly without too much nonsense: "What price?" ”

"Two hundred thousand."

This is the price given by Shao Yingying in the competitive environment of the three companies, and he still knows the price code of the script copyright in the domestic market at present, if it were not for the other two waiting for Duliang, Shao Yingying would not have been able to give such a high price.

"I'm going to be a screenwriter."

Shao Yingying looked at Du Liang's eyes and said, "No problem, I already agreed just now." ”

"That's good."

"Okay, Zhang Wan will take you to the studio to sign a contract in a while."

That's right, it's not Huayi, Shao Yingying asked Zhang Wan to bring Du Liang to the studio.

This is really not Shao Yingying's request for a sum of money from Huayi, the key is that the process of applying to Huayi to buy out the copyright is too cumbersome, not to mention that Wang Zhongjun is now very busy with Feng Xiaogang, if he waits for Huayi, maybe the copyright will be in the hands of others when it is approved.

Tick, tick, tick.

Shao Yingying's phone rang as soon as he sent Du Liang away, and after answering the phone, he immediately heard such a scolding sentence......

"Shao Yingying, your uncle !!!"
