Chapter 21: The Invitation to Sword and Fairy (3/4)
"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is not your average mini-game...
Genuine + pirated copies have been sold for a total of about 20 million copies!
In the audience poll of the computer game magazine Popular Software as "My Favorite Single-Player Game", "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has been at the top for ten consecutive years.
In fact, the adaptation of "Fairy Sword" has long been thought of!
Xu Xiaofang was the first person to contact Daewoo and wanted the right to adapt...
The first to speak was Xu Xiaofang: "I have been talking with Daewoo for more than half a year, and the main contradiction is not the price, but the right..."
"At that time, they limited the release and broadcast time of the TV series, and I didn't agree. The reason is very simple, I bought the adaptation right, that is, the copyright of the adapted TV series belongs to me, why should the time be limited by you? ”
"Daewoo's negotiation posture seems to be that they funded it themselves and I was in charge of filming; But in fact, Daewoo didn't pay a penny! Also want a bunch of rights! ”
"The script must be reviewed by them, and relevant follow-up products are not allowed to be developed without authorization. I can understand that. But after filming, only two years of broadcast rights will be given, which is incomprehensible..."
"How did that work out?"
"What else can I do if I compromise?"
Speaking of this, Xu Xiaofang sighed: "My contract with Daewoo Company is 2 years, according to the convention, from getting the adaptation rights to starting filming, 1 and a half years is more than enough, Daewoo Company even considered releasing "Fairy Sword 2" at the same time when the TV series is released, and a "Year of Fairy Sword" from the inside out"
Then, the investment company that I contacted before failed to pay attention after more than 1 year of delay, and the money was gone.
"This year, I finally met Tang Ren and Tianying Entertainment..."
met Tang Ren to solve the shooting problem, and Celestial Pictures Entertainment solved the distribution - Celestial Pictures Entertainment brought Celestial Channel, a paid channel, and the company bought the Shaw Brothers film library, which is very marketable throughout Southeast Asia.
"Script written?"
"Almost, we removed the content in the game involving white seedlings, black seedlings, zombies, and ghosts, and the exciting characters in the game, such as "King of Prison Town" and "Emperor Ghost", were removed, and then, we removed the part of the game that cultivates martial arts..."
"Remove the part of the practice? Why? ”
"On the one hand, the special effects are not easy to do, and on the other hand... We feel that the key to "Sword and Fairy" is love..."
"Oh!"
Shen Xudong was noncommittal...
No wonder in the TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", Li Xiaoyao made three moves over and over, only smiled evilly, and with one blow of the sword, he jumped up and down and beat the enemy to the ground in a few clicks...
Li Xiaoyao in the game has a bunch of gorgeous skills, like what kind of Xiaoyao Sword, Sword God, Tiangang Battle Qi and the like...
It's all gone!
It turns out that the root is here...
"So, do you have any comments on "Fairy Sword"?"
Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment; “… Isn't it all solved? ”
The script is done, the distribution is done...
What are you going to do when you are looking for Shen Xudong at this time?
"I'll tell you!" Cai Yinong took over the conversation: "... On the one hand, I want you to read the script, and on the other hand, we know that you have a lot to do with Mr. Wu..."
……
It's been a long time... Is it to pull investment?
Speechless!
Actually looking for Shen Xudong to invest?
"It's not a lot, it's just a little bit of cooperation..."
Related?
Yes, it does have something to do with it, after all, they have fought in and out of the same cave, but Shen Xudong did it behind his back!
To be precise, he and Mr. Wu have only met three times, and they are not even friends...
“… Do you think "Fairy Sword" is made into a TV series? ”
"Is there a topic that is hard to say, I'm worried that the above will not approve it!"
"Why?"
"Because it's a game adaptation... The attitude towards online games is not very good. ”
Isn't it very good, it's almost banned directly!
The "Notice on Prohibiting the Broadcast of Computer Network Game Programs" was promulgated, and for a time computer games were uprooted on television programs.
Although the notice does not have any provisions for the TV series adapted from the game, ... No one can guarantee it!
After all, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a game adaptation, and to some extent, it is indeed promoting the game "Sword and Fairy"...
Therefore, in the original time and space, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" did not get the right to be on the star, but only got the right to broadcast it on the terrestrial channel.
In other words, all satellite channels in the country will not broadcast "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", which is why all the TV stations that will broadcast the show will not broadcast it on its satellite channels.
It wasn't until 08 that it was broadcast on Hebei Satellite TV for the first time...
Therefore, purely from the perspective of income, investing in "Fairy Sword" is not a good choice...
Besides, why did Shen Xudong want to help them be lobbyists?
Xu Xiaofang interjected: "Online games are online games, and Fairy Sword is a stand-alone game, and we have all got the right to shoot!" ”
Cai Yinong: "You are also a player of Fairy Sword, don't you want to see Fairy Sword adapted into a TV series?" ”
Shen Xudong scratched his head: "I mean you'd better find a state-owned studio to co-produce, even if the other party has a name and an administrative background..."
"We've already contacted Shangying..."
"Oh, then when I didn't say it!"
Shen Xudong shut up...
"Actually, you're looking for Mr. Wu..."
"Unlikely, Mr. Wu wants to win the corner!"
Cai Yinong nodded: "We talked to Chen Hao, and she has no idea about "Fairy Sword"..."
It seems that everyone knows a lot about the relationship between Mr. Wu and Chen Hao...
Why is Chen Hao not interested?
Nonsense, Chen Hao is 25 years old, "Fairy Sword" started filming, she is 26...
Who can you play?
Zhao Linger or Lin Yueru?
Definitely not suitable!
Besides, her mind is now full of "Golden Branches"...
How can you care about "Fairy Sword"...
In this case, Shen Xudong shrugged his shoulders: "Then I can't help it..."
……
The topic stopped, and I thought it was almost over...
Shen Xudong's opinion: Didn't they come to me just to ask me to help attract some investment?
Do you really want to ask for advice?
What are you kidding, everyone's script has been written!
Then Li Guoguo spoke: "... In fact, we are not very satisfied with the script of "Sword and Fairy", can you please help rewrite the version? ”
“… Dissatisfied? ”
Shen Xudong looked at Xu Xiaofang...
He was responsible for the script of "Sword and Fairy".
I just heard him say, 'Remove the content of the game involving white seedlings, black seedlings, zombies, and ghosts'...
Actually, it's quite appropriate!
The background of "Fairy Sword" is the dispute between the two clans of Bai Miao and Black Miao, the moon worship on the side of the black Miao has been cultivating demonic beasts, and the white Miao side is also cultivating five poisonous beasts in the trial cave in order to compete with the black seedlings...
It's not easy to copy this thing directly!
“… Well, our evaluation of the script, the martial arts flavor is too strong, and there is no color of Sword and Fairy at all! ”
"Martial arts flavor..."
Xu Xiaofang nodded embarrassedly, and said by the way: "I watched your "Zhu Xian", and I knew how to write Xianxia works..."
“… Is this an invitation for me to be a screenwriter? ”
"Yes!"
