Chapter 189: Happy Cooperation

Before Zhang Weiqiang saw "Mo Xian", the imagination of "Mo Xian" in his mind was actually the image of an underworld gangster, probably with tattoos on his arms and back, and then he was wearing sunglasses......

There is no way, I can only say that the portrayal of the protagonist of "Dragon's Head" is too successful, which makes the great director Zhang Weiqiang too impressed, and its depiction of the underground world of the magic capital is also so real and cruel, I always feel that if the author has not experienced all this, he will definitely not be able to write such a world.

Because of this, Zhang Weiqiang was still a little empty before meeting the underworld boss in his mind, what if the other party disagrees with him and uses violence, after all, the relationship between the underworld and the entertainment industry is still very close these years, even a big director like Zhang Weiqiang is very jealous of some underworld forces.

On this day, Wang Defu met with Hang Shuitao, the senior editor of "Monthly News", and his second brother Wang Demin, in a business club, and the great director Zhang Weiqiang.

Even Wang Demin, who is really mixed with the underworld, did not make that kind of underworld boss-style dress, but made himself into a cultural person, obviously, he wants to leave a good impression in front of the big director Zhang Weiqiang he admires, and maybe he can learn a few tricks from Zhang Weiqiang.

Therefore, when Zhang Weiqiang saw Wang Defu and his party, he was very surprised, especially when Hang Shuitao said that he contacted "Mo Xi" through Wang Defu, he was stunned for a moment, as if he was chewing on the meaning of the other party's words.

It can only be said that Hang Shuitao is still very good, obviously he has long known that "Mo Xian" is Wang Defu, but he still pretends not to know such a thing, but instead thinks that Wang Defu is the person who contacted Mo Xian and Mo Xian's best friend.

Wang Defu seemed to see Zhang Weiqiang's doubts, he smiled and said: "Director Zhang Da doesn't need to wonder, and he doesn't have to worry about whether he can negotiate the adaptation of "Dragon's Head" today, because I can indeed fully represent Mo Xian, and I can also explain to him the writing ideas no matter where the book is. ”

Well, Wang Defu's words are almost an acknowledgment of his own identity, even if Zhang Weiqiang eats again, he can be sure of this.

This discovery shocked Zhang Weiqiang very much, but he didn't expect that Wang Defu, a genius writer who is now famous in the literary world of the magic capital, is actually the author of the best-selling masterpiece "Dragon Head", but he doesn't seem to want to expose himself for writing this pioneering work of the underworld, so he used a new pen name.

After being shocked, Zhang Weiqiang only felt that he wanted to win the film adaptation rights of "Dragon Head" more and more, and when the identity of "Mo Xian" was exposed in the future, Wang Defu's works created in this capacity will definitely be popular, after all, Wang Defu has a lot of fans now, and everyone in the film industry has heard of it.

It is said that many film and television companies have been eyeing Wang Defu, after all, the recent "Legend of the West Chamber" has become a hit, and it is now so successful as a classical drama performance, that adapted into movies and recently emerging TV series can definitely be a big hit, and young people now definitely prefer movies and TV series!

Since the popularity of television, which is a new thing, TV dramas have certainly become the focus of many film and television companies, and it is believed to have the potential to rival movies.

In addition, as long as Wang Defu creates other long-form works, his works will definitely be taken by many film and television companies for the first time after they are listed, regardless of whether it is suitable for adaptation, because many film and television companies feel that the name Wang Defu is a golden signboard.

Zhang Weiqiang, a great director, after seeing a well-known cutting-edge writer like Wang Defu, instantly lost the shelf of a great director, which is the special of this era.

Maybe in the future, no matter how talented a writer is, he will be weak in the face of a big director, and the one who really dominates the work will be the director, as for the writer, it is enough conscience to be able to let him participate in the screenwriting work.

More commonly, it is often the writer who is directly excluded from the producer after the copyright is sold, and then many fans of the original work will find that when they watch these adaptations, they will find that these works are similar in name to the original, and the names of the characters in them are also similar, and the other plots are completely different from the original, which is simply the free play of screenwriters in the film and television industry, but even so, as long as you can invite star idols from the traffic, no matter how bad their acting skills are, you don't have to worry that this drama will lose money. Anyway, there will be fans of those idol stars who will buy it.

In this era, writers and literati are obviously more compelled than great directors like Zhang Weiqiang, the reason is, of course, that the influence of movies is really not big enough to compete with books.

There are many people who would rather spend all the money they spend on going to the cinema to buy books, because the latter is more cost-effective, and you can watch a book for many days, but watch a movie for no more than three hours at most.

Of course, if "Mo Xian" is really a rookie author who does not have any fame, the posture of the great director Zhang Weiqiang will definitely not be so low.

But "Mo Xian" is Wang Defu, his "Legend of the West Chamber" has been so popular recently, and all major media are touting it in various ways, so that Zhang Weiqiang does not dare to slack off.

"I have long admired the great name of the great writer Wang, and now I feel very honored to be able to work with a great writer like you." Zhang Weiqiang said from the bottom of his heart.

Such an attitude is taken for granted for Hang Shuitao, and in his mind, Wang Defu's importance is greater than that of the great director Zhang Weiqiang.

But in the eyes of Wang Defu's second brother Wang Demin, this shocked him incomparably, he never thought that his third brother had grown to such a point, and even the great director Zhang Weiqiang had to give such a big face.

It is because "Mo Xi" is Wang Defu that the next negotiations have become extremely smooth, Zhang Weiqiang is completely relieved, he feels that cooperating with Wang Defu is as stable as a dog.

Of course, Zhang Weiqiang is not an individual, there is also a relatively large film and television company behind it, and the specific negotiations do not need Zhang Weiqiang and Wang Defu to worry about, they only need to determine a cooperation intention.

Of course, Zhang Weiqiang recognizes Wang Defu's reputation and talent, and Wang Defu also feels that the work "Dragon Head" is handed over to the great director Zhang Weiqiang, and he will definitely be able to make a classic, and the film and television company behind Zhang Weiqiang will not be too stingy with copyright fees.

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Wang Defu and Zhang Weiqiang both showed satisfied smiles.
