Chapter 114: Unintentional involvement in the entertainment industry

Meng Shu turned on the hands-free and poured himself a glass of water.

And inside the mobile phone, Mr. Zhang still took the trouble to speak.

[Mr. Meng, your micro-film is now hot, popular and word-of-mouth, and if you don't strike while the iron is hot, it really buries this work of art. ] Nowadays, many people on the Internet say that your short film is not enough to watch, and I hope to make it into a movie or TV series. ]

[I know you're busy, so we're providing manpower.] It has been more than 30 years since we were established in Tiancheng Pictures, and there are many popular artists under it, do you know Liao Xiaoxiao? is the starring role in the TV series "Alluring City". It's also our entertainer. "The Fall of the City" is also funded by us, so you can rest assured that the film rights will be handed over to us. ]

[As for the director, I also have several strong directors who have worked with me.] For example, the director of "War Crimes" and "Evolution". Director of "Potential Explosion" and "Progress", among others. ]

When Meng Shu heard this, he didn't show much emotion.

He took a sip of water and clicked on the scene element engineering document sent by Xia Nianzhen last night. Watch and respond.

"Mr. Zhang, I thank you for your attention, and I am very glad that you can appreciate this short film. But like I just said, there's no idea of cinematization yet. The copyright is also not intended to be sold, I hope you can understand. ”

The other end of the phone was stunned, and then became curious.

[Mr. Meng, you refused before we talked about the price, this is really a bit out of order, is there a choice?] And I don't understand, this short film of yours has a lot of hot topics, why not strike while the iron is hot? If it is made into a movie, it will definitely be famous. ]

Why...?

Of course, I don't want you to write stories for the sake of the box office.

With the current horror market and your knowledge of horror culture, can you make any good stories?

"The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" is in front of you, do you learn the techniques inside?

Looking for a few popular traffic shoots W-087?

Don't just pat and fall in love.

Who can stand you and me in this dark stairwell?

It's not just the reputation of my only game that's ruined, it's the federal control bureau and the supernatural anomalies that have been shaped through the four games.

I wonder how much of the topic of the short film is?

But my intention was to build momentum for the next game, not sell the rights!

Meng Shu shook his head in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.

"Mr. Zhang, let's do it. How about you give me some time to think about it? I've been busy lately and can't find time to worry about this. I hope you can give me some time, thank you. ”

Mr. Zhang on the other end of the phone was suddenly stunned.

Obviously, he also knew he was overdoing it.

[This... Since Mr. Meng has said so, then I can't keep bothering you. Please think about it, can you do it for the next two days? When you think about it, just call this number, I'll be there at any time. ]

"Okay, I'll contact you, Mr. Zhang."

[Then I'll be waiting for your call, Mr. Meng.] ]

...

Hanging up the phone, Meng Shu breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back in his chair, and looked at the ceiling.

Things were a little more than he predicted.

Whether W-087's short film will be popular or not, in fact, there is no doubt before it is sent to the barrage network.

But what Meng Shu didn't expect was that this film was a bit too popular.

So much so that a large number of people who don't play games, as well as people overseas, know about it.

What's even funnier is that there are even people on the Internet who compare W-087's short films with horror movies made by other big companies.

It may be precisely because of this that Meng Shu received a call from the entertainment industry and wanted to buy the film rights of W-087.

Tell the truth, if it was in the original world. If a capitalist came to Qin Xuan, who was still Qin Xuan at the time, to buy the film and television copyright, then he would definitely agree without saying a word.

And it will be 100% decentralized, allowing the capital of the entertainment industry to operate on its own.

Once it is successfully filmed, it will not only be famous for the work, but also for the person.

It's a double happiness, and there is money to take.

However, the end result is a cinematic work, which may become a cow and horse.

The most intuitive example is "Fighting Horses".

But even so, this is still an opportunity that is not available in that world!

But in this world?

He could only laugh.

There's no need for that anymore.

Now he, as Meng Shu, plus a system that is no different from a plug-in, no longer needs to consider this so-called opportunity.

Although the work is famous, taking the road of film and television is the most convenient and fast way.

Because the group coverage is large, the audience is also large.

But now Meng Shu, who is not short of money, no longer needs to go through this helpless matter of selling the copyright and letting others mess with W-087.

He doesn't need to have a bunch of people with no experience in horror movies write the script blindly.

Of course, he may be able to act as a supervisor and control the quality of the plot throughout the process.

But in this case, he is equivalent to a transformation, and the game aspect will slowly fade away.

And the crew doesn't necessarily pay attention to him.

So that's not going to work.

His system is a game system, the tools are a development engine that can be used by monkeys, and the store is a large number of game works.

It's not a director system.

Besides, the entertainment industry is very deep.

He Meng Shu didn't want to go in and get fishy.

It's good to be honest and make games slowly in the game industry.

Do not quarrel with the world, try to have a good relationship with other manufacturers, and do not contradict.

Even if you are a friend of wine and meat in business, it is better than fighting to the death in the name of competition.

Even he doesn't plan to take his company public.

So Meng Shu rejected the request to make W-087 a movie.

What is protected is word of mouth and reputation, and it also saves a lot of trouble in the entertainment industry.

The most important thing is that his money is enough.

Don't give yourself nothing to do.

If netizens want to watch this kind of short film, they can shoot it next time.

Maybe next time, it's the story of W-008.

Thinking of this, Meng Shu shook his head, and had no intention of contacting Mr. Zhang in his heart.

He sat upright and looked at Xia Nianzhen's scene file in front of the computer.

"Hmm... No, this one. ”

In the computer screen, it is a sci-fi industrial scene built by Xia Nianzhen according to the concept design PPT and some original paintings.

But this scene is not science fiction enough.

It seems, very minimalistic.

It was like a very poor organization, and Meng Shu shook his head.

Well, Xia Nianzhen is a girl who doesn't have a deep understanding of science fiction style, and she can't do the kind of effect he wants.

However, Meng Shu did not blame Xia Nianzhen for not being able to do it in his heart.

In his opinion, a person always has his own style that he is good at and what he is not good at.

For example, some are good at the style of medieval magic and fantasy. Yes, good at the style of modern warfare. Others, may be good at cartoon rendering style.

In short, Meng Shu didn't think that his employees were all-round talents from the beginning, and they would always have their own shortcomings.

Now Xia Nianzhen's weak side has come out.

She doesn't know how to do science fiction, and the things she makes don't have that flavor.

It's definitely too late to learn now, so the best way to choose the best now is to outsource some of the art resources.

And then...

Then hire an art director who has enough experience and has worked on multiple projects to complete and control the sci-fi art style of the game.

------Off topic------

In these two days, we will start with chapter 84 and revise the vocabulary of the whole text. It's just a matter of modifying the vocabulary, but the kernel is still the same. Then, because of the change of vocabulary, some details will also change. But in short, our book is not a big problem!
