Chapter 24 determines the adaptation

After Zhang Fan sorted out the book, he sat opposite Yang Ruohan and asked Yang Ruohan to take a look at the novel he bought first.

Yang Ruohan put down the "Shenmu" in his hand and looked at the novel handed by Zhang Fan.

"Little Soldier Zhang Ga"? Yang Ruohan looked at the title of the book and was a little puzzled.

"Why are you showing me this book?"

"Mom, don't you think this book is very suitable for adaptation into a TV series?"

"The book adaptation? Come to think of it, I watched a movie from this book when I was a kid. I think it does. ”

Zhang Fan was a little surprised to hear Yang Ruohan say that she had watched the movie adapted from this book when she was a child, Zhang Fan only knew that he often watched this TV series when he was a child in his previous life. There is also Zhang Yishan in the play. He hadn't heard of movies.

"Then I'll take the book to the company tomorrow and ask those screenwriters how to adapt it, and then you will play Gazi?" Yang Ruohan said to Zhang Fan.

"I'm going to play Gazi?" Zhang Fan was particularly surprised, he just wanted to recommend this book to Yang Ruohan to help the company develop.

But he really didn't want to play Gazi himself, not that the role of Gazi is bad, but this role is too good, the actor who played Gazi in his previous life has eaten for a lifetime with this role.

But it is also because of this role that the actor has also come out of Gazi in his life. Zhang Fan was afraid that if he played Gazi, he would not be able to get out of the audience's impression.

"If you don't play it, don't forget what the purpose of this company was in the first place." Yang Ruohan looked at Zhang Fan with some hesitation, and his face was a little unkind.

"Okay, you first find someone to write the script and then talk about whether to act or not." Zhang Fan was a little helpless.

"Okay, don't cry with a sad face, don't forget what you said you wanted to be an actor"

"I didn't cry with a sad face, eh, mom, you see I found you such a good novel, your car ......"

Before Zhang Fan finished speaking, Yang Ruohan pointed to the door and "went out"

"Okay"

Zhang Fan's dream of driving was shattered again, and after he went out, Yang Ruohan put the little soldier Zhang Ga aside and continued to look at Shenmu.

……

After dinner, Zhang Fan lay on the bed and called Sisi, yes, he also had a phone, specifically begging Zhang Weimin to match him.

Zhang Fan told Sisi that he might play Gazi in "Little Soldier Zhang Ga". Sisi smiled and said that she would go out to buy this novel tomorrow. And I will definitely watch it when the TV series comes out.

Zhang Fan remembered that there was a girl in the TV series, so she asked Sisi if she wanted to act, but Sisi refused, she has no interest in acting now, she just wants to be a ballet teacher after graduation.

Yang Ruohan has also been reading the novel "Shenmu" at home for the remaining days of the National Day, and after reading it, she feels that this novel may be adapted into a movie.

She plans to wait for the National Day to convene the company's employees to discuss together.

On the first day of work on the National Day, Yang Ruohan convened a meeting of the company's screenwriters, and also pulled Yu Feihong, who had just returned, to a meeting.

The content of the meeting is "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" and "Shenmu" held by Yang Ruohan.

Yang Ruohan was the first to speak, "I read these two novels at home on National Day, and I feel that one is suitable for adaptation into a TV series, and the other is suitable for adaptation into a movie. You come up with a plan as soon as possible. ”

After listening to Yang Ruohan's speech, screenwriter A said, "Mr. Yang, we have also seen this "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" before, and it is indeed suitable for adaptation into a TV series, but I don't know if we have the adaptation rights of these two novels."

"I will arrange someone to talk about the right to adapt the novel. And what?"

"There is also the question of whether this TV series is filmed by the company itself or continues to cooperate with Haiyu Film and Television"

"Let's continue to cooperate, but this time our company wants to take the lead," Yang Ruohan still did not choose to shoot the TV series alone, but continued to cooperate with Hai Yan to shoot steadily.

"Then there is no problem with "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", and "Shenmu", we are going to go back and study it, and give you an answer in a few days, just so you can go to the writer to contact the film adaptation rights of the work"

"Okay, then if it's okay, the meeting will be dismissed, and Feihong will stay." Yang Ruohan announced the adjournment of the meeting.

When everyone left, Yang Ruohan let go of his stiff face and said to Feihong, "How is it, is it full of aura." ”

"Yes, I'm scared," Yu Feihong chuckled.

"It's not strict, there's no way, before they came, they were known as well-known choreographers, but as a result, it didn't work at all after a few months." Yang Ruohan held his forehead.

"Cultivate it slowly, after all, there are only a few well-known choreographers in the circle. By the way, why do you want to shoot "Shenmu", I have read this book before, it is not easy to adapt, and it is not easy to pass the review when the script comes out. ”

"I didn't think about that, but I just wanted to invest in a film to increase the company's impact. Haven't you always wanted to change "Ginkgo Ginkgo", how do you have eyebrows?"

"Not yet, I feel like I still need to accumulate a few years, and I'll be filming in a few years" Yu Feihong was a little helpless, she was still not sure about adapting the script.

"Okay, then I'll shoot it in a few years, and I'll arrange some movies for you to be a director in two years to get familiar with the feeling." Yang Ruohan comforted her best friend.

"Row"

Yang Ruohan asked Yu Feihong again how long he would be resting this time.

Yu Feihong said with a smile that Yang Ruohan is a capitalist and arranged two TV series for her in a row, and she can only rest for a few days now before she goes back to continue filming.

……

The two chatted in the conference room for a while before ending the topic. Yu Feihong went home after she went out, and she usually didn't have to show up in the company.

Yang Ruohan returned to the office and began to contact Mr. Liu Qingbang, the author of "Shenmu". Seek the right to adapt the work.

After contacting Mr. Liu, Yang Ruohan learned that the adaptation rights of the novel had been bought by others. Yang Ruohan was unwilling to ask who bought it, but Mr. Liu refused to speak.

It wasn't until Yang Ruohan went to Mr. Liu's house to meet him that he learned from him that the adaptation rights were bought by a director named Li Yang. Yang Ruohan got Li Yang's contact information from Mr. Liu.

Yang Ruohan had actually given up on adapting "Shenmu" at this time, and the reason why he asked for contact information was just to try it at the end.

And the reason why Yang Ruohan wants to shoot "Shenmu" so much is mainly because she has seen some domestic films that have won awards at foreign film festivals before.

Most of the content is about the backward mainland. Although she did not approve or even oppose the content of the film, she knew that it was what the so-called jury wanted to see, so she won the award. And she needs these awards to prove the strength of Mufan Pictures.

She didn't really feel much about the content of Shenmu, she had been living in the capital, and it was difficult to experience the life in the book, but she knew that the jury would like the film adapted from the book.

Yang Ruohan just dialed Director Li Yang's phone with the mentality of giving it a try, and said that he wanted the film adaptation rights of "Shenmu".

Unexpectedly, Director Li Yang asked to meet and discuss in detail. And let Yang Ruohan leave the company address, and he will go over as soon as possible.

What Yang Ruohan didn't know was that director Li Yang was already filming a movie adapted from Shenmu and had been filming for a while.

But because the filming was too hard, the original investor ran away with the heroine, and now the crew is down, and he is worried about the next filming funds. He wanted to sell his house and continue filming.

……

Yang Ruohan met Director Li Yang two days later, and Yang Ruohan said straight to the point that he wanted the adaptation rights of "Shenmu".

But Director Li Yang took out a script from the bag he was carrying and handed it to Yang Ruohan.

Yang Ruohan saw the words "Blind Well" printed on the cover of the script. She knew that this director Li Yang should have changed the script.

When Yang Ruohan was reading the script, Director Li Yang said, "Mr. Yang, the script in your hand is the blind well of the movie I adapted from Shenmu, and it is now halfway through filming, but due to some reasons insufficient funds, you can actually invest now." ”

Yang Ruohan is very satisfied with this script, "How much money do you need to invest?"

"800,000, not 500,000" Li Yang was afraid that the price of 800,000 would dissuade the owner in front of him.

"500,000 is okay, so has Director Li obtained the license for this film shooting?"

"Well, we haven't yet" Li Yang shook his head helplessly, it was really strange that his script could pass the review.

"No, that's an underground movie?"

"It's true that it's an underground film, but I knew some friends in Germany before, and I can send the film to the Berlin Film Festival to sell it, and you won't lose money," Li Yang quickly explained.

"Do you know anyone else at the Berlinale? Can I win a prize? ”

"I know but I know, but if I want to win the award, I'm afraid I will need some public relations fees."

"In this case, I will give you 800,000, but you have to sign a gambling agreement with me to ensure that the film can win the award."

If Zhang Fan was present at this time, he would definitely stop Yang Ruohan, because he knew that Blind Well had won the award that year, but Yang Ruohan didn't know it.

"Yes," Li Yang said through gritted teeth.

"Okay, then we're happy to work together"
