Chapter 472: Fang Ping's thoughts

Liu Quan raised his eyebrows, really, but if Dianping is sincere in wanting to sell, even if he wants to seek more benefits from the acquisition, he will only offer a price that is difficult for him and others to accept, but it is still acceptable.

Instead of opening his mouth to offer a price that he and others can't accept anyway.

The most important thing is that the other party still bites the price offered, and is not willing to retreat at all.

That's a bit counterintuitive.

Unless the other party does not sincerely want to sell, or has other plans.

Thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Well, that makes sense!" I'll talk to the boss and pay more attention to this aspect! ”

"Alright, let's go!"

Fang Ping nodded, walked out of his office with Liu Quan, and came to an office not far from his office, where he found Sun Jianrui, Zhang Qian and others who were talking.

As soon as they saw Fang Ping, they all hurriedly arranged things and happily surrounded Fang Ping, and even the eldest Sun Jianrui and other roommates were very enthusiastic and had a bear hug with Fang Ping.

Fang Ping was also in a good mood, and after catching up with everyone, he went out of the Renrenping office area together, found a Chinese restaurant nearby, and had dinner together.

During the dinner, because everyone was still busy in the afternoon, they just drank a few glasses of wine with a little meaning, and chatted for a while.

During this period, Liu Quan also talked about Fang Ping's suspicions in public, which also aroused the vigilance of Zhang Qian and others.

Thinking of himself and Dianping, he has talked many times, but he has always been deadlocked on the conditions such as replacing shares, and he has not been able to talk about it, and he thinks that he should re-examine the acquisition of Dianping.

Fang Ping didn't have direct evidence to prove that Dianping didn't want to sell, so he didn't talk about it in depth, and only suggested that Liu Quan and others should not jump to conclusions easily, and should be thoughtful, etc., and then diverted the topic and led to classmates, life, and other things.

Gradually, time passed, and Fang Ping, Liu Quan and the others had a dinner for two hours before they ended.

After separating, Fang Ping got into the car driven by Ye Kai and others, came to the parking lot of Xingyuan Building, where Future Technology was located, got out of the car, and did not go to Future Entertainment for the first time, but took advantage of the distance of three o'clock and some time to go to the office of Future Technology to rest.

It wasn't until three o'clock that Fang Ping finished resting, went out of the office, and called Su Xiaoxiao to come to the future entertainment office area together.

"Mr. Fang, Secretary Su, you are here!"

As soon as he arrived at the Future Entertainment Office Area, Lu Ming, who had been waiting for a long time after receiving the news, greeted him and said a little respectfully.

Fang Ping smiled: "Listen to Xiao, the script of Plants vs. Zombies has already been written." Have you seen it? How does it feel? ”

"I read the script and it feels good. I am waiting for Mr. Fang to review it, finalize the script and start the project! Lu Ming said busily.

"Yes! Then I'll have to take a good look! ”

Fang Ping smiled, and together with Su Xiaoxiao, under the leadership of Lu Ming, came to Lu Ming's office and sat down separately.

After Lu Ming poured tea for Fang Ping and the others, he came to the desk, took away a prepared script, came to Fang Ping again, handed the script forward and said: "Mr. Fang, this is the script adapted by the well-known screenwriter in the circle we invited to adapt the game Plants vs. Zombies!" ”

"I'll see!"

Fang Ping took the script, lowered his head and flipped through it, the general content of the script is that the male protagonist is a genius inventor from Taoism, who has invented a series of magic weapons to deal with all kinds of zombies.

And the shape and performance of these magic weapons are the embodiment of a series of plants that attack zombies in the game Plants vs. Zombies.

But the invention of the male protagonist was not recognized by the Taoists, and he was even driven out of the Taoist family, only one little junior sister believed in the male protagonist, and has been silently supporting the male protagonist and leaving with the male protagonist.

Later, the zombies sealed by the Taoist mutated and broke the seal, besieging the Taoist, as well as the town, the residents, and so on.

Also besieged are the male protagonist and his little sister.

The male protagonist and his little sister used the new magic treasure they invented to defeat the zombies who besieged him, and also rescued the Taoist. The magic weapon developed was also recognized by Taoism.

As a result, the plant magic treasure invented by the male protagonist was promoted by Taoists to the homes of urban residents, and was used by everyone to fight back against the zombies who came to besiege and so on.

After reading the script, Fang Ping pondered silently.

To be honest, the adapted script as a whole is still very hardcore, with substantial content and clear themes. In addition to the plant magic treasure and a variety of mutant zombies with Chinese characteristics, there are also conflicts between people and emotional disputes.

The only thing is that the plot or something, it looks a bit old-fashioned and not novel enough.

"Mr. Fang, what do you think?"

Lu Ming saw that Fang Ping put down the script, and he didn't say anything, and he was a little nervous for no reason.

He knows that the script in front of him is already the best script written by the screenwriters invited by Future Entertainment, including the screenwriters of his own company.

And it was also picked from a pile of discarded scripts thrown away.

He was really worried that Fang Ping would not be satisfied and threw away this script.

The time and energy required to rework and rewrite the script is secondary, the key is the adaptation of this game, which is the task that Fang Ping personally explained.

And it took so long, if Fang Ping couldn't be satisfied.

He didn't even know how to face Fang Ping.

Fang Ping was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Well, on the whole, there is no problem with this script." But..."

"But what?"

When Lu Ming heard the previous words, his face inadvertently showed joy, but as soon as the two words came out in the back, the joy on his face froze, and he hurriedly said.

Fang Ping waved his hand and said, "Relax, I just have some other ideas, not for this script!" ”

"What thoughts?" Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said with some curiosity.

Fang Ping thought for a moment and groaned: "I'm thinking about this script setting, is it a little more novel?" ”

"How?" Lu Ming was a little puzzled.

In his opinion, in terms of the setting of the script, because it is an adaptation of the game Plants vs. Zombies, it is still different from traditional domestic zombie-themed films, adding a lot of novel things.

For example, magic weapons.

Like in traditional zombie-themed films, catching zombies is basically glutinous rice, red rope, mahogany swords, and so on.

And now because the male protagonist is a Taoist inventor.,It's reasonable to add all kinds of exorcism plants used in Plants vs. Zombies.,Used to destroy zombies.。

In this regard, there is not only innovative thinking in it, but also in line with the game setting of Plants vs. Zombies.

But he didn't expect that Fang Ping felt that it was not novel enough, and he wanted to be more novel.

Fang Ping asked rhetorically: "Have you seen the superheroes of the Marvel world abroad?" ”

"I've seen it, Spider-Man, who was released the year before last, is one of the superheroes of Marvel abroad, and has achieved a box office of more than 800 million!"

Lu Ming has been in the entertainment industry, of course, he has watched some foreign blockbusters, just nodded, reacted suddenly, and said tentatively: "Mr. Fang, you don't want to adapt Plants vs. Zombies into a blockbuster with our national characteristics, the same as foreign Marvel superheroes!" ”

"Why not!" Fang Ping shrugged.

The corners of Lu Ming's mouth twitched, and he hesitated: "This is not suitable!" If it is adapted according to the model of foreign superhero blockbusters, it is easy to have a situation that is not pleasing to both ends. ”

Does he know that the reason why foreign superhero blockbusters are popular is that there is a fan base of those superhero comic versions. Second, the foreign special effects are quite powerful.

Third, foreign cultural attributes have little resistance to this superhero type.

However, foreign countries can accept superhero blockbusters, but they may not be able to accept superhero blockbusters with Chinese characteristics.

Especially this blockbuster, it's still a zombie theme.

In addition, the adaptation of the script of the game Plants vs. Zombies has already added a lot of new elements to it, which is different from traditional zombie films.

If some superhero modes are added, it is too subversive of the traditional zombie film model, and domestic audiences may not accept this model.

The most important thing is that the investment in adapting the script is still very large.

If you are not careful, you will lose a lot of money.

"No, as long as the plot is handled well, there is no problem with the setting, and the audience of the Plants vs. Zombies game is wide, I dare not say how much money it will make, at least there is no problem in keeping the capital." Fang Ping shook his head.

Lu Ming really wants to say Mr. Fang, are you too optimistic, I admit that the game Plants vs. Zombies is a global fire and has a large number of users. But these users may not buy a movie ticket for a game.

And there are many movies adapted from games at home and abroad, none of which have made any achievements, and they all rushed to grandma's house.

And those games that can be adapted into movies are all games that have been popular!

But when the words came to his mouth, he didn't dare to say it directly, but said in a very tactful way: "Mr. Fang, are you thinking about it?" Once you do it according to your train of thought, the input cost is too great. ”

"It's almost a precedent for a game to be adapted into a movie. Once there is an accident, the loss can be big! ”

"It doesn't matter, I don't mean that the adaptation of Plants vs. Zombies can make any money, as long as I can use the game Plants vs. Zombies to achieve global promotion and export some Chinese culture or something, I'm satisfied!" Fang Ping waved his hand.

These are the words from his heart.

After the game was adapted into a movie and released, did it ever sell well.

Yes, but in very small quantities.

Almost all of the movies adapted from the game are losing money.

But why do those game companies still do game adaptations!

That's because game companies are expanding their game influence, hyping up copyrights, and so on.

Fang Ping's idea is the same, adapting Plants vs. Zombies and hyping up the influence of Plants vs. Zombies.

Of course, there is a different idea, that is, the plants vs. zombies that are now online are full of things with Chinese characteristics.

He doesn't want the movie version of Plants vs. Zombies to sell much at the box office, but he wants to be able to export some unique things.

It's like the word kung fu.

When it comes to kung fu abroad, even when you hear the word ah, you know who it is and where it comes from.

Lu Ming was speechless, and finally said angrily: "Okay! Mr. Fang, you said so, then I won't say anything. ”

"I'll go down and let the company's screenwriters rewrite the script!"

"Who said the script was going to be rewritten? I think this script is pretty good! Fang Ping was surprised.

Lu Ming was stunned: "Don't rewrite the script?" ”
