Chapter 178: The Great Director Came to the Door
Wang Defu can be regarded as watching this good show, his heart has no fluctuation in this regard, he thinks anyway, men should be free and easy, as long as they are better, there will definitely be no shortage of good girls.
Men shouldn't spend time on girls who are clearly not interested in them, even if they like it, because in the end it's all in vain.
This time Wang Defu came to the magic capital, in addition to watching Mei Xiaoyu's performance in the magic capital and taking her to see the prosperity of the magic capital, of course, there were other things to do.
One of the most important things is that the commercial "Dragon Head" he created with his vest on his vest has been taken by the famous local director Zhang Weiqiang in the magic capital and decided to adapt it into a movie.
Before that, Zhang Weiqiang certainly hoped to meet the creator of "Dragon Head".
Of course, Wang Defu has also heard of Zhang Weiqiang, who is a leading figure in the entire Chinese film industry, and can be said to be one of the pioneers of Chinese films, and has shot many movies with both commercial and word-of-mouth.
After Wang Defu knew that Zhang Weiqiang intended to adapt "The Dragon's Head" into a movie, he also went to watch several of Zhang Weiqiang's classics, and then of course he no longer had any doubts about this Chinese movie leader, and felt that handing over "The Dragon's Head" to Zhang Weiqiang for adaptation would definitely not destroy the original.
In fact, Zhang Weiqiang himself feels that being able to adapt "Dragon Head" into a movie is something that he is very much looking forward to!
This is also because Zhang Weiqiang is a native of the magic capital, of course, he has deep feelings for the magic capital, and the work "Dragon Head" can be said to completely outline the customs of the magic capital, although the focus is on its underground world, but this still makes Zhang Weiqiang feel very intimate.
Zhang Weiqiang has directed so many works, and there has never been a work that is completely set in the magic capital, perhaps this is also because he went to the imperial capital very early, and the place where he studied was also in the imperial capital, as for the movies filmed, the filming place was in Tiannan and Haibei......
It wasn't until Zhang Weiqiang saw the work "Dragon Head" that he was completely attracted by the charm of this work for a while, and his first thought after watching it was - I want to make this work into a movie and let it be seen by all audiences on the big screen!
In such a situation, of course, Zhang Weiqiang is also particularly interested in the creator of "Dragon's Head", "Mo Xian", and he even feels that "Mo Xian" is also his peer, just because this is really suitable for adapting movies, there are many scenes, which are clearly like ready-made movie shots!
The first person Zhang Weiqiang found was, of course, Hang Shuitao, a senior editor of the "Monthly Daily" who had strongly recommended "Longtou".
In fact, after "Dragon Head" won two heavyweight awards, "Magic Capital Popular Award" and "Zhang Yuanji New Writer Award", its fame directly drove sales, and then word of mouth fermented, and its sales continued to climb and explode!
For many popular readers, the biggest feature of this work is that it is wonderful, good-looking, exciting, and enjoyable!
Even if its ending is more unpleasant, it doesn't matter at all, because in the process, readers are happy!
They feel as if they have really gone from an ordinary person and a small role at the bottom to a gangster step by step, drunk and lying on the knees of beauty, waking up to the power of the world!
This kind of substitution explosion is not comparable to those inferior Mandarin Duck and Butterfly pies, and even many fans of this book have seen a sense of superiority, and feel that those who read "Dragon's Head" are more stylish readers, and those who look at other popular ones are white readers.
Because of the fire of "Dragon's Head", Hang Shuitao, the editor who discovered it at the beginning, naturally attracted a lot of attention in the industry, and the most important thing is that Hang Shuitao seems to be the only one who knows the contact information of "Mo Xian".
This makes many people go to Hang Shuitao to use various methods, wanting to inquire about the mysterious identity of "Mo Xian", anyway, many critics have concluded that this "Mo Xian", who was born out of thin air and became a god in a book, is definitely not a rookie author, and a rookie author will never have such a strong pen power!
It's a pity that Hang Shuitao is determined to make a mysterious character for "Mo Xian", he even cooperated with Wang Defu very much, and guessed who "Mo Xian" was in his heart early ago, but he still pretended not to know, and really thought that "Mo Xian" was Wang Defu's friend.
What made Hang Shuitao no longer calm was of course Zhang Weiqiang, the great director, who revealed to him that he wanted to adapt "Dragon Head" into a movie, and at the same time, he also hoped to meet "Mo Xian" in person.
Even Zhang Weiqiang half-jokingly and half-seriously said that he was a loyal fan of "Mo Xian", and if Mr. Mo Xian really didn't want to reveal his identity, then he would definitely keep his mouth shut.
Such an expression made Hang Shuitao feel incredible, and he could only sigh that the charm of the work "Dragon Head" was so great that it completely conquered a great director like Zhang Weiqiang!
At the same time, Hang Shuitao also felt that director Zhang Weiqiang's interest in "Dragon Head" was undoubtedly a major opportunity for Wang Defu, so he did not refuse Zhang Weiqiang at all, and directly told Wang Defu the good news.
Wang Defu is of course happy to see "Dragon's Head" be adapted into a movie, and the inspiration for this one also comes from the classic movie "The Godfather" in his world.
It's just that Wang Defu doesn't want ordinary directors to mess up this work, and now that Zhang Weiqiang, a big director, has appeared, of course Wang Defu will not wait and see any longer, he is very relieved to hand over "Dragon Head" to such a big director.
For other authors, maybe the average film and television company takes a fancy to his copyright and says that they want to make his work into a movie, then he must be ecstatic, and he doesn't care what his work is made of.
But for Wang Defu, he will definitely not treat the works he has spent a lot of time and energy creating like this, these works are like his children, and he doesn't want to be spoiled casually.
Therefore, he also rejected many film and television companies interested in "The Dragon" as "Mo Xian", which also caused cynicism in the industry, and I only felt that the rookie author of "Mo Xian" was not only mysterious and cold, but also very arrogant, and actually rejected so many sincere film and television companies, how high did his requirements be?
Facts have proved how successful Wang Defu's refusal was, otherwise it would be a pity to wait until Zhang Weiqiang came to the door, but the film and television copyright of "The Dragon" was not in his hands.
