Chapter 399: Casting, Adaptation
At noon, Grace came to Luo Yin's office again.
"Master, I have investigated the copyright situation of the more famous scripts on the market, and these scripts either have expired the term of protection of copyright rights and become public copyright, which does not cost money to buy; Either the copyright is in your own hands, and you only need to spend a small amount of money to rent, sell or buy."
Grace's investigation was similar to what Luo Yin had expected.
Here, copyright in these texts and the like is of little use, and there are basically only two uses.
One is similar to storytellers who tell stories in public, or on the radio.
The other is adapted into a stage play, but there are very few that can be adapted into a stage play, and the adaptations are all high-quality works.
And the copyright of these literary and artistic works is not so detailed, basically as long as you rent or buy it, then you can use it as you like.
The price is also very favorable, you can buy the top copyright for 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, and you can buy it until the end of the copyright protection period.
As for the price of those Mandarin books, they are very cheap.
Since the price is so affordable, Luo Yin will certainly not let go of this opportunity.
"Next, you use your personal name to buy the perpetual copyright of those high-quality scripts on the market, and buy as much as you can. You can pay a reasonable premium, I'll give you 10 million, it should be about the same."
Luo Yin said seriously. Ten million shouldn't be needed, but he's not bad for money. He didn't have time to inspect the scripts, so he simply bought everything he could buy, and then picked what he needed.
"Yes!"
Grace nodded. Then he asked expectantly.
"Do we need to use these scripts for our films? The Sirius Empire is still very developed in this regard, and I heard that some of the new generation of writers are very popular......
"Yes and no." Luo Yin smiled, "Of course, our film drama uses these scripts, but the first movie can directly use the public copyright script. This kind of script, which has been circulated for many years, will make everyone feel more immersed."
"Understood!"
Grace's movements were still very fast, and in the afternoon she sorted out all the materials of the Sky Wolf Empire's public copyright and handed them to Luo Yin.
Luo Yin picked casually, and then selected two scripts.
One is about a poignant love story. The other is a comedy of reunion.
Both of these themes are suitable for all ages and are suitable for opening up the market.
In fact, what Luo Yin prefers is a black humor that satirizes how the bourgeoisie oppresses the poor.
This script is very good in terms of connotation, depth, character creation and dramatic tension, and it can be regarded as a masterpiece recognized by Luo Yin.
But unfortunately, this remark was supposed to scold himself.
Irony or something, I don't need it yet, just instill positive energy in everyone. Otherwise, if people are mistaken that they have betrayed the class, it will be troublesome. Since ancient times, those who betray their own class have no good juice to eat.
After choosing a script, the next step is to change it into a script that is suitable for acting. Luo Yin first asked the company's stage play screenwriter to adapt, and after they finished adapting, Luo Yin optimized it and changed it into a film and television script.
Luo Yin is actually not very good at this aspect, he just read a few books, but it is not a big problem, after all, there are no movies in this world, and no one compares with him.
How about the script, in fact, is not very important, almost on the line. What matters is this technology that can change the ecology of the entertainment industry.
[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]
, the big boss suddenly ran away with the major shareholders and many employees!
Then the company was handed over to a strange rich man, and then the company began to delist and withdraw its shares. This makes everyone inexplicable, and at the same time, they feel that something is wrong with the company......
Especially recently, the company has cut down their long-term performances that are more profitable, and now they can only take on some short-term jobs with little money......
All these things add up and have to worry everyone.
In case the company goes bankrupt, those artists with high coffee positions may still have a way out, but what about these small artists?
And in this somewhat impetuous situation, when the company said that it would prepare a performance program next and let everyone sign up, as long as they were in the company's headquarters and had no job in their hands, all of them signed up!
There are even artists who are in other places who have pushed some small jobs and have to hurry back to the headquarters to sign up.
After all, in such a big entertainment company, the extra money you earn is a small fight after all, and you can only eat meat by following the company's footsteps.
So in just one day, the registration activity for the company's headquarters has been completed. Of course, there are still some artists from other places who are rushing back, and the registration activity is not over yet, but Luo Yin is not ready to wait, interview these people first.
The interview will take place in the company.
A group of brightly dressed, handsome men and beautiful artists are waiting in the hall with the number plates in their hands.
Their eyes were all on a small closed door, their faces anxious and nervous.
"It's out, it's out!"
Someone shouted quietly.
I saw the small door open, and the female artist with the No. 1 sign in her hand walked out. The female artist's expression did not show joy and anger, but a look of doubt.
At the same time, the general manager's secretary inside the door came out and shouted "next". The man with the number two sign went in with some trepidation.
There was someone outside who was familiar with No. 1, so he hurriedly ran to No. 1 and whispered:
"Have you passed? What's going on inside! What do you need us to do?"
Everyone else pricked up their ears too.
"I don't know if I've been, but the leader told me to wait for notice...... I can't say what's inside, anyway, many leaders of our company are in it, as for what to do...... Just laugh, and they will make me laugh......
The female artist rubbed her face, and she felt that her face was stiff from the smile she had just laughed.
"Laugh? I'm good at that!"
Holding the No. 3 brand, the sweet-looking female artist was a little happy. She is characterized by a sweet voice, and when she laughs, she fascinates thousands of boys and girls, and fans affectionately call her Britney.
Britney immediately took out the small mirror and showed all kinds of sweet smiles in the mirror, hoping to behave better later.
It wasn't long before the door opened again.
The female artist who came out of it had red eyes and seemed to be crying.
Everyone suddenly chuckled in their hearts, were they reprimanded?
Britney, who was holding the No. 3 sign, was about to go in, but before going in, she asked No. 2 very quickly.
"Have you been reprimanded by your leader? Is there something wrong with it?"
As a result, Number Two shook his head.
"Nope. It's because the leader makes me cry......
「……」
No, why are you crying again?
With a somewhat confused mood, Britney entered the room.
The room was empty, and the first thing that caught your eye was a long table in which several company leaders sat and a young man sat in the middle of the long table. Britney knows that this is the new boss of the company.
It's just that there is a sign in front of the new boss that says "director".
"Hello leaders!"
After Britney entered the door, she quickly bowed deeply.
But Luo Yin frowned, and he looked at Eric next to him.
"Why are you still a female artist......
Hearing this, Xiao Tiantian's heart suddenly cooled.
It's over, and the boss doesn't seem to like her......
Eric next to him quickly explained:
"Ahem, there are more female artists in our company, a total of 150 artists, there are 120 female artists alone, and only 30 male artists......
「……」
Luo Yin thought about it carefully, it seemed to be true.
He had met with these artists before, but at that time, a group of warblers and warblers were in front of him, and Luo Yin only felt that it was very eye-catching, and subconsciously ignored the ratio of men and women.
Now when he needs actors, he reacts that there are too many female artists in the company.
"Boss, it's easier for female artists to make money than male artists......
Eric whispered another sentence in Luo Yin's ear.
Luo Yin raised his head and looked at the female artist in front of him. He has a sweet appearance and a slender figure, especially the upper body, and although he is dressed very conservatively, he can't starve his children at first glance. Such people are indeed more eye-catching.
"Forget it, we'll talk about it later."
Luo Yin shook his head, and then said to Xiao Tiantian, who was already very worried:
"Just dance, do what you think is the sexiest and hottest dance. At the same time, your eyes should be very seductive, and you should highlight the feeling of seduction...... You're going to seduce me."
This female artist gives Luo Yin the feeling that she is the kind of person who sings sweet songs, and she has a sweet voice. Although the figure is also good, it is not hot enough. So Luo Yin wanted to see if she could change her style.
An all-rounder actor is definitely better than a single actor.
Xiao Tiantian was a little surprised when she heard Luo Yin's request.
But she didn't hesitate, immediately took a deep breath, adjusted her state, and then jumped up and danced in front of everyone.
One thing to say, this dance is so-so. In Luo Yin's opinion, it is not sexy and hot at all. It's not at all like the kind of dance he drew on paper before and asked Lisa to dance.
But this female artist's eyes and small movements are very in place.
Especially the seductive eyes, as if he said to Luo Yin: I am your person tonight, hurry up and tear my clothes. Seeing Luo Yin, he was a little moved.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Luo Yin applauded with satisfaction, and the others followed suit.
Britney quickly stopped, a little overwhelmed.
She didn't know if she was hot and seductive just now, she just thought that since the boss asked her to seduce the boss, she definitely couldn't let go of this opportunity. She has to do everything she can, in case she really seduces Luo Yin, this is the big boss of the company!
She is completely sincere in her feelings, and even extraordinary.
"Okay, you go out first, wait for the notice. Next."
Eric waved his hand.
"Yes."
Xiao Tiantian immediately withdrew with interest, she didn't know if she had ever been, but judging from the applause of the big boss just now, she should meet the requirements of the big boss.
This made Xiao Tiantian secretly clench her fists, and she was a little excited. But she quickly told herself in her heart: not necessarily, calm down!
After Xiao Tiantian went out, she didn't hide it in the face of everyone's questions, saying that she danced a dance, but she didn't say anything about the big boss taking the lead in applauding. Although she really wanted to show off, wouldn't it be embarrassing if she didn't.
There are about 100 artists in the company's headquarters, and Luo Yin gives each artist five minutes of performance time.
Luo Yin started the interview in the morning and continued to get off work in the afternoon, and finally got it all done.
After sitting for so long, Luo Yin's buttocks were a little numb, but he was in good spirits.
Because the results of this interview were better than he imagined.
The performance ability of these artists is very good, and some of them are even amazing to Luo Yindu. It's just that I was born to eat this bowl of rice. A little more training and exercise, I guess it's a movie queen or something.
The only thing that makes Luo Yin complain a little is that there are too few male artists in the company, and some of them are in full swing.
However, these female artists are indeed very good, and the yin and yang are in decline. Eric said
It's good, it's easier for female artists to make money. After all, in this society, there are still many men in power.
"Boss, please let me know if you have someone selected, and I will notify them."
Eric spoke.
"No, you go back and tell them it's over."
"Huh? It's all over?"
Eric was a little taken aback. That's more than 100 people, what kind of show does it take so many people?
"Hmm. But some people have more opportunities to perform, and some people have fewer opportunities to perform."
Luo Yin didn't explain much.
After all, this is the company's first and second film and drama. If you can use your own people, you can use your own people, except for some tricks that need to be recruited again, other protagonists and supporting roles and the like are selected among more than 100 people.
I heard Luo Yin say that in addition to these people in the company, there are about 1,000 people who have no role to recruit. Eric was secretly speechless.
My God, thousands of people performing together? That's shocking, isn't it?
However, where is there such a large venue in China where so many people can perform at the same time......
At the same time as Eric was shocked, he also had a small question mark.
The two scripts selected by Luo Yin, although they are romance and comedy, are both big scenes.
This is a movie, not a live show. It always has to reflect the advantages of the movie, such as this kind of huge scene, the live performance cannot be completed at one time, and even if it can be barely completed, the audience does not have the best position to watch it.
Two days later, the company's writers had changed the two scripts. Of course, it is still the model of the stage play. On the basis of their adaptation, Luo Yin changed it into the script of the movie.
Except for Luo Yin, no one understands movies. So the adaptation work can only come by itself.
However, Luo Yin didn't feel tired, mainly because he was a screenwriter and a director, which made him feel very interesting, after all, it was the first time, fresh.
Three days later, Luo Yin felt that it was almost over.
The first film is ready to be made.
Although the equipment is not fully in place, there is no need to start shooting in the early stage, after all, there is not much film, so you have to save it. When the actors have passed the test, it's not too late to start filming again.
