Chapter 253: Adapting the Novel

In the end, what Meng Wen was worried about did not appear, and not long after Wang Ting recited and played Meng Wen's trial song, Xun Hanlei's father Xun Zhiyuan pushed the door and walked in, diverting everyone's attention.

After Xun Hanlei's father entered the door, he began to urge Xun Hanlei's mother to prepare meals, so many people have to eat together at night, and the workload is not small. It is estimated that there will be no time to prepare for the hour, which has to mean that Meng Wen has prepared the previous work sufficiently before he came.

Xun Hanlei's mother, Su Qianqing, and her grandmother went to the kitchen to prepare meals. Xun Hanlei also followed. Wang Ting wanted to follow Xun Hanlei as well, but was held down by Xun Hanlei and didn't let Wang Ting get up. Xun Hanlei also knew that Wang Ting was purely a foodie, and she could only help if she went.

However, Sister-in-law Xun Hanlei, who made Meng Wen look forward to leaving the most, did not get up, but just moved on the sofa and let Meng Tianlei be next to her. Meng Wen glanced at Xun Zhiya a little strangely, although he wondered why she didn't go to the kitchen to help, it stands to reason that she is also a member of her mother's family, and she shouldn't be a guest. Although Meng Wen was strange in his heart, his face did not show his expression.

Xun Zhiya beckoned to Wang Ting, patted her on the sofa on the other side, and said, "Tingting, come and sit with me, you can talk to me about your story at school." ”

Meng Wen had no choice but to secretly cast a warning look at Wang Ting, but Wang Ting ignored it directly, and hated Meng Wen's teeth.

Xun Zhiyuan did not snub Meng Wen, and said: "Meng Wen, didn't you mention on the road before that you wanted to adapt your novel into a TV series? "Xun Zhiyuan now completely treats Meng Wen as his own person, and it is also for Meng Wen's good to say this, I am afraid that Meng Wen will act rashly with enthusiasm if he doesn't understand anything.

As everyone knows, when Xun Zhiyuan said this, the happiest person was not Meng Wen, but Meng Tianlei next to him. Meng Tianlei is not like Xun Zhiyuan, who only recognizes Meng Wen's achievements in writing, in Xun Zhiyuan's eyes, Meng Wen is the identity of a writer, as for Meng Wen's other identities, Xun Zhiyuan does not pay much attention to it.

But Meng Tianlei doesn't think so, in Meng Tianlei's eyes, Meng Wen's talent and achievements in music and online dramas are far greater than those of writers, but in front of such a traditional writer as Xun Zhiyuan, Meng Tianlei is not good to say directly to Xun Zhiyuan. It's as if I look down on writers.

Meng Tianlei had always wanted to talk to Meng Wen about this kind of topic before, but his wife kept holding on to Meng Wen's gossip, which made Meng Tianlei difficult to interject. Now that he had Xun Zhiyuan's initiative, Meng Tianlei hurriedly asked: "Really? Meng Wen, do you plan to adapt your novel into a TV series? I heard before that many companies paid a high price to buy the film and television adaptation rights of the novel, but you didn't agree." Why do you suddenly want to adapt it now?"

Meng Wen saw Meng Tianlei, who had always been relatively calm before, and suddenly felt a little unspeakably excited and a little strange, but he still explained: "Actually, I have always had the idea of adaptation, but the current conditions do not allow it." And now that my novel has only been on the market for more than half a year, I also want to wait, and when my novel becomes more popular, it may be better to adapt it. As for the companies you mentioned, they are all trying to buy out my film and television adaptation rights, so of course I can't agree to it. At most, I can only authorize them to shoot, and it depends on whether they have the strength or not. ”

Meng Tianlei persuaded: "Oh, that's it." But I don't think it's too early to start preparing. After all, this is a martial arts drama, and if it is really going to be broadcast, it will be the end of next year, and the conditions will be ripe by then, isn't it just right? If you wait until tomorrow to prepare, then wait until you broadcast it at least at the end of the year, and people can forget about your novels for a long time. ”

Originally, the purpose of Xun Zhiyuan was to tell Meng Wen about the difficulties of filming martial arts dramas, so that Meng Wen should not be impulsive. didn't think that Meng Wen was not impulsive, but his brother-in-law was impulsive, but persuaded Meng Wen to shoot as soon as possible.

Xun Zhiyuan was really afraid that Meng Wen would impulsively agree, so he hurriedly said: "Tianlei, what's the matter with you, haven't you been complaining about the current recession in the film and television industry, and you don't make money by filming anything? ”

Meng Tianlei explained: "Brother-in-law, I'm also thinking about Meng Wen, if you think about Meng Wen's works if they are made into a TV series, it will be very beneficial to Meng Wen's fame." And filming TV and losing money are all the investor's business, how Meng Wen should collect money for providing scripts, and how to collect money, it doesn't matter to Meng Wen?"

Xun Zhiyuan said: "Oh, do you mean that Meng Wen directly provides the script, and others will shoot it? As you said, if it doesn't make money, then who can invest in it?"

"There is no need to worry about investment, our company shoots ten or eight film and television dramas every year, so don't they all find investment? If you really want to look at the script, our company can also shoot it wholly owned. And Meng Wen's fame is there, if Meng Wen really wants to adapt his work into a TV series, I think our company is also willing to cooperate with Meng Wen?" Meng Tianlei finally said the little Jiujiu in his heart.

Xun Zhiyuan nodded and said, "If that's the case, it's really okay." "Xun Zhiyuan is really from Meng Wen's point of view, knowing that Meng Tianlei's company is very strong, and with Meng Tianlei here, there is no need to worry about being deceived or anything. In this way, Meng Wen can not only make money, but also earn fame, and he doesn't have to take risks. Then he asked Meng Wen, "Meng Wen, how do you feel?"

Meng Wen saw Xun Hanlei's father and uncle singing and harmonizing, and finally remembered that he was a party, and he was a little speechless, but he still had a smile on his face, and said, "That, uncle, you may have misunderstood." I don't just want to sell scripts, I plan to invest in filming myself, and I have confidence in my work. ”

"You invest?" Meng Tianlei was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and said: "That's no problem, anyway, the cost of a martial arts drama is estimated to be small, and the more investment, the better." If you don't invest, we have to go to someone else. With your personal investment as a writer, we can be more convincing when we look for others. ”

Meng Wen saw that Meng Tianlei was so enthusiastic, and now he started us ours, he was really a little speechless, if he came up and refused directly, would it seem very rude. But I didn't refuse, I never thought of letting other companies shoot.

This is Meng Wen's first work adapted from a TV series, and Meng Wen can't tolerate that his work will go wrong due to some uncontrollable factors, and the best way is to control the entire filming process in his own hands. Even if he is not a director himself, the director must obey his own arrangement on a certain level, and this guarantee is that he is an investor.

Meng Wen was really entangled in his heart......
