Chapter 7 Female Frequency Writers
Looking at Chu Ran, who was quiet, Zhou Cheng couldn't help but ask: "You are so interested in her, don't you like her?" If that's the case, you're afraid that there aren't many opportunities, this girl doesn't look so easy to chase. ”
"The main thing is that I was working on a novel recently, and the prototype of the heroine is based on her. Imagine that the heroine in your novel may be ...... in the end It's a little lost. ”
"You still write novels?" Hearing Chu Ran's words, Zhou Cheng was slightly stunned.
"What's so surprising about me writing a novel?" Hearing Zhou Cheng's questioning, Chu Ran was a little dissatisfied: "At the beginning, I was the best writer in our class. Otherwise, Brother Li would not have come to me to cooperate. ”
Zhou Cheng glanced at him and interrupted his boasting: "Don't talk nonsense, what's the name of your novel?" Is it written about the Tang Dynasty? ”
Hearing Zhou Cheng's words, Chu Ran was surprised. Looking at Zhou Cheng in disbelief, he asked, "How do you know that I am writing about traveling to the Tang Dynasty?" I've only conceived a few chapters, but are you a roundworm in my stomach that you have a heart for me? ”
"Hey, stay away from me, your expression is too obscene." Zhou Cheng pushed Chu Ran's head away, if it wasn't for the fact that his strength was inferior to him, Chu Ran's cheap appearance made Zhou Cheng want to punch him.
"What do you know, this is called self-confidence." Chu Ran squinted forty-five degrees, revealing a look of disdain.
"Alright, don't be weird. I know you're pretty confident. This is obviously imitating the obscene expression of the Internet celebrity Chubby, and Zhou Cheng couldn't help laughing anymore.
"By the way, your novel is traveling to the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty? Help Li Shimin win the world? The two frolicked for a while, and Zhou Cheng asked tentatively, traveling to the era of the late Sui Dynasty, which was the most worn theme of Tang Wen at a certain point.
"Hehe, you're wrong." Chu Ran said a little proudly: "There are too many people who write about the early Tang Dynasty, I'm not interested." This novel of mine is a girl who travels to the Tianbao period and becomes Yang Yuhuan's niece, Choi Yun, the daughter of Mrs. Korea. Tell the love story of her and Daizong Li Yu? ”
Isn't this the plot of "Tianbao Yanyun" in another world. It's just that Chu Ran in that world is a beauty, and writing such a novel can be regarded as complementing each other, but this Chu Ran in front of him is a big man with five big and three thick.
Zhou Cheng was a little surprised, could it be that Chu Ran also wore it, and the man opposite was the soul of a girl in his body?
Reaching out to take the cigarette case on the table, Zhou Cheng lit one to hide the fluctuations in his heart: "Female frequency? You're a big man who actually writes female frequency novels? ”
"What's wrong with the female frequency? Let me tell you, the most popular heroine novels in Jinjiang Book City and Hongxiu Book City are all written by male writers. Chu Ran then said something that made Zhou Cheng's three views collapse: "There are a lot of boys who are mixing with girls now, Fei Tianxiang and Jin Lingdong are all boys, and most of these people are like you and me, they are all screenwriters. ”
"Screenwriters? How so? Zhou Cheng was surprised by this news and almost dropped his cigarette on the table.
"As screenwriters, we know the development of film and television dramas. Influenced by those Korean dramas that are becoming more and more popular, the film and television dramas produced in the circle now have higher and higher requirements for the heroine. The most we changed the script was to increase the role of the heroine. Therefore, according to our estimates, it won't be long before our domestic film and television dramas will usher in the era of the big heroine taking the lead. Those of us also practice in advance to prepare, otherwise in another ten years, everyone will be unemployed. ”
Hearing Chu Ran's explanation, Zhou Cheng's mood slowly calmed down, and it seemed that it was really a coincidence: "This time should not take ten years, or even five years......"
Thinking of the colleague who graduated from the Literature Department of Shanghai Film Academy, if he in this world has the same development trajectory as that world, this time point may be shortened to about two or three years.
Chu Ran smiled: "Hehe, I hope you're right." If my novel becomes popular, I will give you the rights to its film and television adaptation, and we will also make a big heroine drama at that time. Find Yang Luyao as the heroine. ”
Whether it is Chu Ran in this world or her in that world, her writing is better than Zhou Cheng's. Of course, Zhou Cheng also has his own advantages, as a person who has crossed over from another world fifteen years later, it is too much to say that he does not plagiarize the scripts of some excellent films. Of course, it is limited to movies, and he is confident that he will describe the more than 100-minute film according to the plot, and forget about dozens of episodes of TV series, or layout it in advance, and buy the adaptation rights of some popular novels.
Zhou Cheng thought for a while and said to Chu Ran: "I can't take advantage of you, I will buy it at the market price when the time comes." Not only your novels, but also the authors of other female frequency novels also helped me contact them, and said that I was ready to buy their film and television rights. ”
"You're ready to do it? Not watching for a while? ”
"Before anyone else discovers the market, you can start first." Zhou Cheng looked at Chu Ran with some embarrassment: "Another reason is that if you start now, the price will not be very high." ”
"You don't have to worry about this, their current income is mainly based on subscriptions and rewards from online platforms, and female frequency does not have a large readership like male frequency novels, and slightly more popular novels will be stolen by pirated websites, so those who write female frequency novels really can't make too much money. It's also a great encouragement for them that you can add an extra income to them. ”
"Thanks!" Zhou Cheng thanked Chu Ran: "You can promise them that as long as I have more money here, I will definitely make up for this fee for them, and this can even be added to the agreement." ”
Zhou Cheng didn't want to offend such a group because of information asymmetry to get the adaptation rights of this batch of novels. After all, an excellent writer is often the more mature his work is, the wider the audience, and the more valuable it is to adapt. If you make a small profit because of this point in front of you, you will lose more in the end.
Chu Ran stretched out a thumbs up to Zhou Cheng, and he also instantly figured out what Zhou Cheng was doing. I am also curious about the future of my friend. It seems that he is witnessing the rise of a film and television tycoon.
The two of them had a pot of tea, a pack of cigarettes, a plate of melon seeds, and some small snacks handmade by the proprietress of the tea bar, and chatted until five o'clock in the afternoon in the alley of this summer afternoon, under the shade of several huge tung trees.
Looking at Chu Ran, who was talking eloquently, Zhou Cheng was a little glad that the world was able to make his good friend. By chatting with Chu Ran, Zhou Cheng's understanding of the entertainment industry in this world has become much clearer, confirming the memory in his mind, and I believe that he can deal with it freely.
"Find a place to have a barbecue and a drink or two?" Coming out of the tea bar, Zhou Cheng, who had been leisurely for an afternoon, was energetic and invited Chu Ran.
"No, I have a date in the evening."
"Girl?"
"What do you say?"
"You scum, you forgetful scum."
"Master Chu, I am here to release the most primitive desires of human beings, so that I can reach the state of physical and mental relaxation, so that I can write beautiful articles......"
"It's the first time I've seen a ...... who talks about dating so high-sounding"
"That's because your realm is too low......"
Bidding farewell to Chu Ran, Zhou Cheng wandered wantonly, along Zhang Zizhong Road on Cotton Hutong, Fuxue Hutong, and Scissors Lane, past Bingxin's former residence, Princess Hejing's mansion, and Ouyang Yuqian's former residence, all the way to Dongsi North Street.
These historical celebrities are all there, and the former residences of celebrities are the same as in Zhou Cheng's impression, which shows that the history of this world does not deviate much from that world.
Reach out to stop the car and get ready to go home. There were not a few taxis with lights on East Fourth Avenue during the evening rush hour, and it was hard to see a person who got off the passenger, and before Zhou Cheng ran over, someone had already taken the first step to get on and leave.
"When you have more money, you must buy a car, this is too delayed, in case one day you lose the opportunity to cooperate because you can't get a car, then the loss will be lost."
Perhaps feeling Zhou Cheng's resentment, a dark blue taxi with an orange waistline stopped not far from Zhou Cheng, and Zhou Cheng hurriedly picked up his small bag and ran over.
Zhou Cheng held the co-pilot's door with his hand, and when he was waiting for a passenger to get out of the car, a girl had already reached out and opened the back seat door, and the car was robbed again.
"Beauty, I stopped this car, okay, you wait for the next one." Zhou Cheng, who was already sweating hot, was not ready to let it go.
"Don't talk nonsense, this car is the first thing I saw......" Although the girl's Mandarin is very good, it obviously has a flicking tongue sound, coupled with a fair complexion, a high nose bridge, and a different pupil color from the Han people, it should be a minority girl from Western Xinjiang.
Zhou Cheng laughed at the girl's quibbles: "When this car stopped, I had already arrived, if it wasn't for the last passenger who paid for the delay of time, I would have gotten in the car by now, and you came after the passenger in front of you left, this should be the car I stopped first." ”
"But......" The girl also knew that she was at a loss, but she still reached out and held on to the car door, it was too difficult to take a taxi here. Just before the girl could think of a reason, a hand on her shoulder, a panting voice came from behind her: "Aisha, did you stop the car?" I didn't expect you to run so fast, I'm almost out of breath......"
"Hurry up and get in the car, otherwise we will be late, and the head of the regiment will scold ......" The girl named Aisha played her tongue very strongly, which made Zhou Cheng feel particularly funny to listen to.
"I said two, let's settle the ownership of this car first before getting into the car, okay?"
"Aisha, didn't you stop this car?" The girl standing behind Aisha raised her head, and when she saw her companion shaking her head, she knew that what the other party said was true, so she had to ask Zhou Cheng: "This gentleman, I'm really embarrassed, can you give us this car, we are really in a hurry, if we can't return to the hotel before six o'clock, our head of the regiment will scold us......"
This girl's Mandarin is obviously better than Aisha's, and her organization is clearer than hers, even the taxi driver stretched out his head and said to Zhou Cheng after hearing it: "I said buddy, if you really can't do it, you just give the car to these two little girls, people come all the way to our Yanjing, and we also have to carry forward some traditional virtues, isn't it ......"
"Oh, okay." Zhou Cheng looked at the girl and nodded.
"Thank you, Yaya, come on, I'll take the co-pilot's ......" The girl named Aisha pushed her companion into the back seat, bowed to Zhou Cheng, and then opened the co-pilot's door and sat in.
Also called Yaya?
The moment the girl raised her head just now, Zhou Chengcheng was stunned, when chatting with Chu Ran this afternoon, he also asked about her, and he was a little sorry when he knew that there was no girl in the Chinese opera, but he didn't expect to meet her here.
Seeing that the vehicle was about to move forward, Zhou Chengcai came back to his senses and asked the taxi, "What group are you?" ”
"...... of the Western Xinjiang National Song and Dance Troupe" The girl sitting in the back seat stretched out her head and waved to Zhou Cheng to thank her.
The Western Xinjiang Song and Dance Troupe should be in this world, and for some reason, she has deviated in the choice of her life path, and there will be very different results.
Watching the car go away, Zhou Cheng continued to stop the car, and after several unsuccessful attempts, he tried to take the subway, looked at the crowd in Wuyang and Wuyang in the subway station, and decisively retreated back. I found a shady place, took out my mobile phone and dialed a number.
