Before thinking about making a movie, I never thought that this matter would not be much easier than studying spells, a team of dozens or hundreds of people had to operate in an orderly manner, and when to do something, it was really not something that ordinary people could do, so I was very glad that I was able to get Zhang Dabeard with lightning speed. ＋，

It's been a month since I last saw him, and this month's time, he has been relying on his own connections to purchase hardware facilities, which is the best preparation, as long as there is money, all kinds of facilities, such as a 'domestic' special effects production team, although in fact it is just a nominal one, there is no such team at all, but no one cares about these.

This time the bearded man came to me to confirm the story, and he brought a few scripts found from above to my house, by the way, I forgot to mention, I bought a villa in the imperial capital and have settled here.

"Mr. An, take a look, which of these scripts are you interested in?"

"Well," I glanced at a few times, choosing a book called The Lich of Liberty, "I'm a mage, he's a mage, he's a good actor, and I love the story." ”

This is the truth, I took a cursory look at this book, not to mention my appetite, his general experience is also very similar to mine, a traverser struggles to survive, but compared to me, his life is slightly miserable, the person he loves the most died in his own hands, killed his daughter with his own hands, and the person who loves him the most finally no longer loves him, such a story as a novel, maybe not everyone likes to read it, but making it into a TV series can definitely create a big IP.

"I'm interested in this story, too," the bearded man smiled and scratched at his beard, "Looks like we're really going to get together." If you don't have any other comments, I'll go to this author and talk to him about buying the copyright. ”

"Isn't the copyright in your hands?"

"That's the right to publish the novel, and the film adaptation right is still in the hands of the author. ”

"Okay, I'll go with you, anyway, nothing has happened lately, right. How do you get along with the floaters?"

"Ahem, it's better than I thought," the bearded man laughed dryly, "it's just that sometimes it scares me suddenly, you know, its eyes, it's scary." ”――

"Hello, is this Mr. Helenin?"

With the address I got from it, out of good faith. We went straight to the author's hometown, a small town in the north.

"Who are you two?"

There was a man standing at the door who was one meter eight five tall, ** upper body, full of tendon meat, like a bodybuilder, and looked even more handsome than me, but his skin was pale, as if he had not seen the sun for a long time. Considering that he is the author, it is not unacceptable. After looking at us, this man said very politely, but soon, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Director Zhang Jizhong?"

"Yes," Zhang Jizhong smiled, "Excuse me." ”

"Nope. No, please come in," the man politely welcomed us in.

On the coffee table, there are three cups of steaming coffee, and there is a pile of gym equipment under the balcony. Judging from the sweat on his forehead, he was exercising before, and as a writer, it was surprising that he had such a body.

"So, Mr. Hymers. ”

"My surname is Xiang, and my name is Xiang Donglai. ”

"Mr. Xiang," Zhang Jizhong said after taking a sip of coffee, "We won't go around the bush with you, we want to buy the TV movie and anime adaptation rights of "The Lich of Freedom", and next to him is our gold owner, Mr. Android from the United Kingdom, he likes your book very much, and he also likes China, and wants to make a career in China and set up a film company, so I chose your book that is in mixed blessings, I don't know if you agree?"

"Of course I agree," Xiang Donglai nodded, "but I don't know much about this, and I don't know how to sell it." ”

"Don't worry, we won't lie to you," I smiled slightly at the author, "I have two ways here, the first is to buy out, pay off all the arrears at once, and the second is to share, there is no preceding paragraph, but we make a profit through the TV series and movies made into this book, and you will get 30% of the after-tax profits." ”

"This, thirty percent, how much? Is it the market price?" Xiang Donglai said after thinking about it, "Although I don't know very well, but if I am really sure, I may consult a lawyer, and I am not greedy, if this price is the general market price, I have no problem." ”

"It's a lot higher than the general market price," Mr. Zhang said, "because you are the first author of our company, so there is a certain degree of preferential treatment." ”

"Then it's no problem," Xiang Donglai nodded after thinking about it, "But I still have to consult a lawyer for details, such as how much money you invest in this drama, if you are a leather bag company and have nothing, just take the contract away, I am not at a loss, if it weren't for Director Zhang Jizhong here, I would definitely think you are liars." ”

"Let's have dinner together in the evening and celebrate," I lit a cigarette, "and by the way, study the role of Mr. Xiang in this play." ”

"Huh?"

"Haha, don't be surprised, your figure and appearance, it's really a loss not to act, I think you are very suitable for a cameo appearance in Wang Xiaoming in your previous life, you don't have many lines, you can still leak your face, it's also a gimmick, what do you think?"

"Of course I hope that's the case," Xiang Donglai smiled, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to act well if I don't know how to act." ”

"Don't worry, with our bearded director here, what do you have to play badly?"

"If it was Wang Xiaoming in the previous life, there would not be too much difficulty," Zhang Jizhong nodded-

After we were full of wine and food, we sent Donglai back, it seemed that because he was so happy, this man drank a lot of wine, some drunk, his wife drove him back, listen to his wife, this guy is a super otaku. I don't go out all year round, and I can't even drive a car, but all in all, they are a very loving couple, and this time, it can be regarded as a bittersweet end.

"Valera is an elf. "We continue to work on the main characters, if you play Sango, you can play the Grim Reaper, if you want to play Tus Brightman, you can play Queen German, and as for Boomer, how about you play Queen Char?"

"And who's going to play Catwoman?"

"I'll leave it to the bearded man to find it. Anyway, I told the bearded man, if you are looking for an actor, you will find someone who is completely unknown, as long as the temperament is in line, in terms of acting, I can hypnotize them, it's not a problem at all, okay. Let's not talk about that, let's 'sleep' together. ”

"Shocking news! The bearded Zhang Jizhong actually wants to shoot a network drama. The investment in a single episode is 10 million US dollars, and the total investment is conservatively estimated at 200 million in the first quarter!

Overnight, such news instantly bombarded the entire network, three o'clock, first. Fantasy novels, the second point, Zhang Jizhong, the third point, a $200 million investment. It is enough to attract everyone's attention, and even the vast majority of people don't believe it, but Zhang Jizhong is full of confidence this time, and with my support, he actually disclosed the bank account funds on his Weibo, which is exactly 1.2 billion yuan, and all the doubts will be blown away at once, at least let the people who question the money disappear all at once.

With this enthusiasm, Zhang Jizhong went on an interview on Sina Weibo again, followed the reporter to talk about this novel, and in order to attract popularity, he even called me over, because I am an investor and a part-time starring, so my appearance can also attract people's attention to a certain extent.

"Hello two, I'm a reporter from Sina Entertainment. ”

"Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Jizhong. ”

"Hi everyone, I'm Android. ”

"Mr. Android's Chinese is awesome. ”

"Thank you for the compliment," I nodded politely, "I have loved Chinese culture since I was a child, so I have been learning Chinese hard." ”

"Two, our Sina interview is different from other people here, we don't ask questions, all the questions are asked by netizens, constantly scrolling on the screen, you can choose which one you want to answer. ”

"So, don't waste everyone's time, start asking, in the Internet era, ink will die, and all netizens should also support. ”

"First question, why do you want to make an online drama?"

"That's right," Zhang Jizhong said, "We wanted to make a movie, but what the movie needs is the support of popularity, so before that, we planned to spend a lot of money to shoot a series of online dramas to accumulate popularity, just like a song of ice and fire, because our target is not only China, but the whole world, so we used online dramas to attract popularity in the early stage." ”

"The second question, will the special effects be five cents?"

"Don't worry," Zhang Jizhong waved his hand at the screen, "All our actors are small names, and all the money will be put into special effects production." ”

"Aren't you afraid of losing money?"

"That's a question for Mr. Android. ”

"I am very confident in the Chinese market, there is an old saying in China, reluctant children can't catch the wolf, I spent 1.2 billion yuan to shoot an online drama, which is equivalent to making a big advertisement, as long as the special effects are in the eyes of the audience, I will not accompany anywhere. ”

"Why don't you make more popular books, such as those that start from super gods?"

"This, what online dramas need is a kind of dramatic conflict, I like the setting of this book very much, all kinds of abuse, all kinds of death, such online dramas can be popular, after all, we have to consider not only online novel readers, but also the audience, they prefer this kind of abuse and abuse of the plot, rather than the killing and killing. ”

"Who does the special effects, the Avatar team?"

"Our own team, we have the best hardware in the world, and Mr. Android has invested 200 million US dollars for this. ”

"Okay, audience friends, that's all for today's interview," the host ended the interview after answering a lot of questions.

Of course, the two of us are also satisfied, in fact, after the interview, the topic has exceeded a billion heat, and there is no doubt that this is already a popular online drama before acting. (To be continued......)
