Chapter 173: A Chinese Ghost Story
"Boss Liu, can you stop being so insensitive? It's easy for people to misunderstand you! Besides, your baby girl is too. ”
Seeing that Liu Jianning opened his arms and wanted to hug him, Qin Yuan said jokingly while retreating and dodging.
If his daughter Liu Yuyan hugged him, he would definitely accept it gladly, but now his daughter didn't have to hug her, and she was hugged by Liu Yuyan's father instead, what is it!
Hearing Qin Yuan say this, Liu Jianning's face couldn't help but show a touch of embarrassment, he was too happy just now, but he forgot that his daughter was also at the scene.
However, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, he remembered that Liu Yuyan should have been accompanying her aunt Liu Ruolin at this time, why did she get mixed up with Qin Yuan so quickly.
Suddenly, he couldn't help but think of the scene that happened in the porcelain capital in his mind, and then his brows couldn't help frowning, this kid shouldn't really be in love with his baby daughter!
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately stared at Qin Yuan with a deep gaze, as if he wanted to see Qin Yuan through.
However, through Qin Yuan's eyes, what he saw was a clear and sincere one, but he didn't see anything else.
"Uncle Liu, what's wrong?" Seeing Liu Jianning staring directly at him, Qin Yuan's heart couldn't help but feel a little hairy.
Hearing this, Liu Jianning thought thoughtfully, but then shook his head with a smile and said, "I heard that you had an accident on the road in the past two days?" Seeing that you are okay at the moment, my hanging heart can be regarded as letting go.
By the way, didn't I tell you last time that there are a few friends on Hong Kong Island who want to meet you?
Today I brought them all, come, let me introduce you, this is director Xu Ke from Hong Kong Island, this is director Cheng Dong, and this is Mr. Zhang Guolong! Liu Jianning said as he led the three of Xu Ke to Qin Yuan.
Looking at Xu Ke and the three of them up close, Qin Yuan's heart couldn't help but be even more shocked.
Because the three people who appeared in front of him at this moment, whether in appearance or temperament, were almost exactly the same as the Tsui Hark, Cheng Xiaodong, and Leslie Cheung that he knew in his previous life.
Looking at the three people in front of him, he couldn't help but feel like he had traveled back to the star-studded era on Hong Kong Island.
"Mr. Qin, I have admired the name for a long time, and it is really a blessing to be able to meet you today!" As soon as he saw Qin Yuan, Xu Ke immediately stretched out his hand towards Qin Yuan, and then said with a compliment.
Hearing this, Qin Yuan hurriedly took off his mask, then stretched out his hand to shake Xu Ke's hand, and said politely: "Director Xu, don't say that, I have admired your name for a long time!" ”
Qin Yuan actually doesn't like this kind of greeting and polite scene, but when he comes to Liu Ruolin's concert today, he will inevitably meet these characters with heads and faces.
And the three people in front of him have a good reputation in the circle, especially Zhang Guolong, who is standing next to Xu Ke at the moment, is even more famous for his good character, and many domestic stars have been taken care of by him.
So he naturally has a good impression of them, and when others come to him from thousands of miles away, he naturally has to take it seriously, which is the most basic courtesy of being a man.
"Mr. Qin, it's a pleasure to meet you, you are even more beautiful than what you see on TV!" At this moment, Zhang Guolong also shook hands with Qin Yuan with a smile.
Looking at Zhang Guolong in front of him, Qin Yuan's mood was very complicated, he didn't expect that someone he would never see in the previous life would not only see him in this world, but also shake hands and get to know him, this feeling is really amazing!
"Mr. Leslie Cheung, you are too polite, if you want to be beautiful, I am not as good as you!" Coming back from his complicated state of mind, Qin Yuan said with a smile on his face.
Although Zhang Guolong in front of him is very similar to the superstar in his previous life, he knows that they are not the same person, and the works they have are completely different.
The only thing that is the same is that the status of the two in the entertainment industry is almost the same, and they are both super names who have influenced an era.
Seeing Qin Yuan's humble and polite appearance, Zhang Guolong couldn't help but appreciate this junior who met for the first time.
As an 'old man' who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, he has seen too many stars who have become famous at a young age.
And these stars who became famous at a young age will be more or less unsightly, and it is really rare to be as modest and polite as Qin Yuan.
"Now that everyone knows each other, I'll take you to my makeshift office backstage! It's not a place to talk about things! ”
Liu Jianning said as he took Qin Yuan and Zhang Guolong to a temporary office in the background.
As soon as he sat down, Qin Yuan took the initiative to speak and asked, "I heard Uncle Liu say that you have something important to discuss with me, but I don't know what it is?" ”
Hearing this, Xu Ke and the others glanced at each other, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Qin, that's the case, not long ago we saw a video of you telling a ghost story late at night on the Internet, and in that video, you told a ghost story called "Nie Xiaoqian" in a colorful voice.
I have to say, Mr. Qin, you are brilliant and creative, not only singing and writing first-class, but also not wanting to make up a story, the ghost story you told makes us feel immersive.
As a screenwriter and director, I like the ghost story "Nie Xiaoqian" very much, so Brother Cheng Dong and I unanimously decided to adapt the ghost story you said into a ghost-themed movie.
So the reason why we came all the way here is that we sincerely hope to be able to get authorization from you, and you can open a number of copyright fees, and we will do our best to satisfy you! ”
Hearing Xu Ke mention "Nie Xiaoqian" as soon as he opened his mouth, Qin Yuan's face couldn't help but show a smile, and sure enough, as he thought, the other party really came for the ghost story of "Nie Xiaoqian".
However, although all this was expected by him, but when he heard Xu Ke say this, Du Ruxue's face on the side couldn't help but show a look of shock.
Although she is the general manager of Shengyuan Media, she, like Liu Jianning, did not take the ghost stories that Qin Yuan casually told in her eyes.
In her opinion, although the ghost story "Nie Xiaoqian" is interesting and novel, it is only a small ghost story, and it is usually just a concoction to listen to it, she never thought that such a ghost story could have other uses.
Therefore, at this moment, when she heard from the mouth of Xu Ke, a big director, that the other party wanted to adapt this little ghost story into a movie, she suddenly reacted to how short-sighted she was before.
At the same time, she suddenly figured out why Qin Yuan asked her to create a show dedicated to telling ghost stories.
Before, she simply felt that Qin Yuan wanted to rely on such a novel program to attract traffic, and then use it to create a certain amount of revenue for the company.
But now that she thought about it, she suddenly reacted, the reason why the other party did this was not for that little profit at all, the other party was incubating IP!
If every little story he writes in the future can be favored by people in the film and television industry like "Nie Xiaoqian", what kind of wealth it will be, she can't think about it.
After she understood all this repeatedly, she couldn't help but admire Qin Yuan's gaze more and more, how long is this man's brain, this vision is too long-term!
If it weren't for the current conditions, she couldn't help but want to slap Qin Yuan again.
Knowing Xu Ke's purpose, Qin Yuan looked calm, then nodded with a smile, and said, "I really didn't expect Director Xu to be able to look at the little story I compiled, first of all, I am deeply grateful, and then I think so about the authorization."
Because "Nie Xiaoqian" is the first ghost story I told to the outside world, it has extraordinary significance for me, if Director Xu can adapt it into a movie, then my story will naturally be known by more people, and I am sincerely happy about it.
So there is no problem with licensing, but I don't think I need to pay for the copyright or anything, but I have another request, that is, I want to be able to invest in this film, and then the script needs to be reviewed by me, and after my consent, I can start shooting! ”
The ghost story of "Nie Xiaoqian" is a good IP, so Qin Yuan naturally doesn't want this IP to be filmed at the beginning, after all, the Xu Ke in front of him is not the Tsui Hark of the previous life, and he doesn't know how the other party will shoot this movie.
Therefore, the script or something, it must be reviewed and approved by him, and when necessary, he can even take out the script of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the previous life for filming.
And the reason why he is willing to do this is actually very simple, because the spread of movies is greater than that of ordinary cycling videos, and a good movie is more likely to cause a sensation.
Therefore, if he participated in the production of the movie "Nie Xiaoqian", once the movie is a big hit, then he will naturally be rewarded by the system as a participant in the event.
Not only that, as an investor, if the movie is a big hit, he can also get a lot of income, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, so he naturally has no reason to refuse.
And hearing that Qin Yuan was not only willing to authorize, but also said that he wanted to invest in their films, the two directors Xu Ke and Cheng Dong were even more overjoyed.
You must know that their filming funds are not enough, and they have a headache about where to attract sponsorship in the past two days, but they didn't expect that Qin Yuan, as an IP provider, would be willing to invest in them, which is simply double happiness!
Suddenly, the faces of both of them showed ecstasy, and they looked at Qin Yuan as if they couldn't believe it.
"Mr. Qin, is what you said true? Are you willing to not only empower us, but also invest in us? ”
"Of course, Director Xu, you have made so many excellent works before, and I am very confident in your strength, but the most important thing is that I am very confident in my own story, so can you accept my request?"
"Accept, of course accept, not to mention that the script needs your consent, if Mr. Qin is willing, we can let Mr. Qin write the script yourself, after all, there is no one in this world who understands this story better than you."
"Shall I write the script? That's a good idea, so let's set a week's time.
Within a week, you will publish a script, and I will also publish a script here, and when the two scripts are compared, we will choose the best, what do you think? Qin Yuan touched his chin and said with a serious face.
Although he is very confident in the script of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the previous life, Xu Ke in front of him is also a good screenwriter.
So before he didn't know what kind of adaptation he would make, he didn't dare to rashly set the script as "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the previous life, in case this Xu Ke in front of him could make a better script!
Therefore, it is best for each party to come up with a script for comparison and then choose the best one.
Hearing Qin Yuan say this, Xu Ke and Cheng Dong patted their thighs with a smile, and said extremely excitedly: "Mr. Qin is worthy of being a genius!" Why didn't we think of such a good solution! Choosing the best is wonderful!
Then it's decided, in a week's time, we will each write a script, and then we will have a good comparison.
Don't say it, Mr. Qin, if you do this, my enthusiasm for this movie is getting higher and higher! ”
"It's a great thing to have enthusiasm and anticipation, so I wish us a happy cooperation, and the movie will be a big hit in the end." Qin Yuan smiled and shook hands with Xu Ke, he was in a very happy mood, there are not many opportunities to make a lot of money and earn a lot of prestige, and if he can meet one, it is a happy event, he is naturally very happy.
And looking at Qin Yuan and Xu Ke talking eloquently, Liu Jianning, who was sitting on the side, showed a look of surprise on his face.
He didn't expect that Qin Yuan not only had the ability to create, but also had such ideas and courage when he started a business.
A genius is a genius, it's all about everything!
If such a demon really meant that to his daughter, he would not be unacceptable.
Just as he was pondering, Qin Yuan suddenly moved his gaze to him, and continued: "Uncle Liu, you single-handedly contributed to this matter, otherwise you will join in?" ”
Suddenly hearing Qin Yuan's words, Liu Jianning was more and more surprised, he didn't expect Qin Yuan to be willing to share a piece of the pie with him.
To be honest, he was actually very interested in the adapted movie in Xu Ke's mouth when he heard it, firstly because there are few ghost-themed love movies on the market at present, and secondly, because the source of this story is from Qin Yuan.
Needless to say, Qin Yuan's current popularity on the Internet is huge, and the 12 million fanatical fans are no joke.
And Cheng Dong and Xu Ke's directing ability is obvious to all, and their control of the quality of the movie will definitely not be too bad, so once this movie is really made, with the blessing and publicity of Qin Yuan's name, it will definitely not be a loss.
So at this moment, Qin Yuan asked him to join, it was completely to share the money, so he was naturally very surprised, this kind of money-making business was willing to share with him, this kid's mind is not ordinary!
Suddenly, he couldn't help but feel more and more fond of Qin Yuan, a man has good things and doesn't enjoy them exclusively, this is definitely not a bad person.
"Qin boy, since you said so, if I don't get involved, it will be a bit of a shame for you, since that's the case, then I'll thank you first, I voted for this movie!" Liu Jianning said with a smile.
Hearing that Liu Jianning, the chairman of Tianyu Media, was willing to invest in them, Xu Ke and Cheng Dong were even more excited, although one more person joining in would give them an extra piece of the pie.
But you must know that every movie is risky, and although one more investor will make them make less money, it will also make them take less risk, so they naturally have no reason to refuse.
"Haha, it seems that our trip to Suzhou is not wrong at all! With the help of the two of them, I believe that our film will be a great success! ”
"Then borrow Director Xu's auspicious words!" Liu Jianning also said happily.
Several people sat together and chatted for a while, and then Qin Yuan, under the arrangement of the staff, participated in a simple rehearsal and walked through his process.
And unconsciously, the time reached 7 o'clock in the evening, and Liu Ruolin's solo concert officially began.
