"By the way, Mr. Jiao, I haven't asked you yet, where do I want to send you, do you want us to arrange a hotel for you to stay in."

Jiao Bai shook his head and said: "No, go directly to the Grand Hyatt Hotel, the network has arranged accommodation for us authors who came to attend the annual meeting, and I am not good at making special arrangements." ”

"Nacheng, Xiao Xue, go to the Grand Hyatt Hotel,"

Along the way, Fang Yongchun and Jiao Bai chatted about the TV series "Open Sky". At the film viewing meeting held by Xingchen Film and Television, Fang Yongchun used 1.2 billion yuan to win the premiere rights of "Open Heaven", which was really under huge pressure and bought it with the mentality of losing money. Who knew that the popularity of "Open Heaven" exceeded everyone's expectations, and it has just reached the eighth episode, and the ratings have already broken ten, and there is still a strong upward momentum.

You know, with the popularization of smart phones, people's entertainment methods are becoming more and more diversified, which can make everyone calm down and sit back in front of the TV There are fewer and fewer programs, and it is very difficult to break the ratings of fifty or sixty like the original "Huanzhu Gege". Don't talk about breaking fifty or sixty, in fact, after ten years, in terms of TV series alone, there is not a single TV series that breaks ten. Many experts in the industry say that with the diversification of entertainment, there will be no more TV series that break ten in the future. But the appearance of "Open Heaven" broke this confinement and became the first TV series with ratings breaking ten in the past ten years.

Fang Yongchun is also quite proud of being able to discern pearls and buy such a popular TV series back to Oriental TV, and when he chatted with Jiao Bai, the original author of "Open Heaven", the more he chatted, the more speculative he became.

It is said that the capital is the "first block", but in fact, the road conditions in the magic capital are not much better than those in the capital. Mercedes-Benz business stopped and stopped on the road, and it took more than an hour to walk less than 20 kilometers from the train station to the Grand Hyatt Hotel.

When he got out of the car, Fang Yongchun held Jiao Bai's hand and said, "Mr. Jiao, there are still some things in the station, I won't send you up, if there is anything to call me." I still have some connections locally, and in the magic capital, I can help you solve the small things. ”

Bidding farewell to the enthusiastic Fang Yongchun, Jiao Bai walked into the Grand Hyatt Hotel. Tomorrow the annual meeting will be held, and most of the invited writers will come to Modu today, and the website has set up a reception point in the hotel lobby to help the writers sign in and check in.

Jiao Bai came to the reception desk, handed over his invitation, and soon with the help of the enthusiastic staff, checked in and delivered it to his room. The writers are all luxury double suites, which look a bit like a two-bedroom house. Two writers are arranged in one room, and one person lives in a bedroom, sharing a living room, which can make friends and have his own independent private space, which can be said to be very thoughtful.

Arranged with Jiao Bai is a veteran god with the pen name Piaoxue, who has been writing on the Internet for more than ten years, and can be regarded as Jiao Bai's predecessor. When Jiao Bai entered the room, Piaoxue was already there, and he was watching the TV series "Open Heaven" on the TV in the living room. Seeing Jiao Bai enter the door, he didn't need to be introduced by the staff, so he greeted him with a smile, gave Jiao Bai a hug, and said, "Sanyi, it's not easy to see your real person." I'll call you Jiao Bai, after all, you're one of the few writers whose real names are more well-known than pen names. ”

Jiao Bai also patted Piaoxue's back with a smile and said, "Piaoxue God, I have really admired you for a long time, but I grew up reading your books." ”

Piaoxue let go of the burnt white, laughed twice, and then laughed at himself: "Every time I come to the annual meeting, there will always be new authors who say this, making me look like an old man who is too old." ”

Of course, this is all a joke, in fact, Piaoxue's age is really not big, he wrote books and became famous relatively early, when he was twenty years old, he relied on a book "Reincarnation Law God" to become a god, and now he has been writing a book for ten years, and his age is only thirty years old, and he is only four or five years older than Jiao Bai.

After the two sat down, the topic of small talk unconsciously turned to the "Open Heaven" TV series that was being played, Piao Xue pointed to the fantasy scenes of the demon world on the TV screen and asked curiously: "Won't these otherworldly scenes in the TV series be computer-synthesized, right?" It feels too real, if it is all synthesized by computers, then the production cost of this "Open Sky" will not break through the sky! ”

Jiao Bai smiled and said: "Some scenes are computer-synthesized, and some are directly borrowed scenes from the "Open Heaven" game. Even if it is a computer-generated scene, it is enough to do it only once, and then you can use it directly, and the cost is definitely not as high as you think. Our Xingchen Film and Television and Net, the total investment used in the TV series "Open Heaven" does not exceed 500 million, which is calculated as the cost of publicity, and then the actors' salaries, props, costumes, venue rent, and other miscellaneous expenses are removed, and less than 200 million yuan can be used for special effects production. ”

Hearing Jiao Bai's reported production cost of the "Open Heaven" TV series, Piaoxue's shocked mouth opened to the size of a hippopotamus, "Is the cost so low, it's unbelievable." Your "Open Heaven" has sold for a sky-high price of 3 billion, which is not a return on investment of nearly 600. God, that's crazy. ”

Jiao Bai shrugged his shoulders and reminded: "You don't calculate the account like this, you have to remove taxes and the director's commission, and there will definitely not be so much that can end up in your pocket." ”

"That's considerable enough, the key "Open Sky" TV series is so well filmed, and the follow-up income must be indispensable. Several of my previous works have also been adapted into TV series, and I thought it was pretty good at the time, but compared to "Open Heaven", it's just scum. The book I am writing now, can I find you Xingchen Film and Television to cooperate with you to develop film and television copyrights? ”

Jiao Bai has heard of several TV series adapted from Piaoxue, and even chased two of them when he was in school. On the whole, the level of adaptation is quite qualified, and there is no vulgar bridge section like "fighting horses". But it's just qualified, in terms of plot, there is a foundation for the original work, and the adaptation is quite exciting, and in terms of special effects, due to the constraints of production costs and technical level, it is so scummy that I can't watch it.

"This year is going to pass soon, don't think about it, I'm afraid next year will be enough, now Xingchen Film and Television has established the second part of "Open Heaven" and the two TV series "Young Jianghu Xing", which will start filming next year, and there is a big movie "Open Sky" in planning, I'm afraid I don't have time to take on other projects. However, you can find other film and television companies to cooperate, and after the TV series is filmed, the special effects and post-production will be handed over to us Xingchen Film and Television to do, and the effect will not be much worse. ”
