"What? CCTV wants to adapt my novel into a TV series? ”

Only then did Jiang Yulou know why Meng Weiya came to the school to find him for a trivial matter, it turned out to be a major event involving the adaptation of the novel.

Ji Zhenghuai was surprised: "Lao Meng, is what you said true or false, can Yulou's work be favored by CCTV and adapted into a TV series?" ”

"Naturally, this is a person in charge of CCTV who specially contacted me, and I just repeated the original words." Meng Weizai said.

Jiang Yulou smiled and said: "I didn't expect CCTV to be able to see my works, I have a vision." ”

"You kid, you don't have any shape at all." Ji Zhenghuai scolded with a smile, and he was happy for Jiang Yulou in his heart.

Meng Weiya smiled at Jiang Yulou and said, "How about it, is it good news for you, I didn't coax you." Of course, whether you agree with the adaptation of CCTV or not, it is up to you to ......"

Without waiting for Meng Weiya to finish speaking, Jiang Yulou nodded and said, "Yes, I am so willing." ”

For him, the adaptation of a novel into a movie is undoubtedly a great thing. It's not that he can get much copyright income, in this era, the cost of novel adaptation and script adaptation is extremely low, which is better than nothing for him, and expanding his influence is what he wants.

In 1980, television was still in demand, and the number of television sets in the country was only more than 9 million, with an average of one per 100 people.

And what about TV shows, there are also few of them.

It was not until last year, that is, in 1979, that all provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government set up color television stations. And last year, there were only a pitiful nineteen TV dramas.

It can be said that today's TV dramas are completely unable to meet the spiritual needs of the people. It is precisely because of this that the TV series produced in this era are basically hits.

In the 80s, TV dramas became the most important cultural pastime in people's lives, and "Ten Thousand Empty Alleys" was often used as a measure of the popularity of a certain TV series, and it once became the norm.

Is Jiang Yulou's "Secret Calculation" exciting?

Naturally, it is very exciting, and the novel alone has sold more than 300,000 copies so far, and it will be reprinted. If it is adapted into a TV series, as long as the quality is reasonable, there will be no problem at all in becoming a phenomenal work of "ten thousand empty alleys".

With the blessing of TV series, the sales of novels will usher in another peak.

And this is the benefit that Jiang Yulou can see.

Meng Weizai said: "Okay, in this way, tomorrow Lao Ji you give Yulou a leave, and Yulou will go to me to meet a person in charge of CCTV." It is best to negotiate the cooperation as soon as possible, which is beneficial to Yulou, CCTV, and our magazine. ”

"No problem." Ji Zhenghuai readily agreed.

The next morning, Jiang Yulou came to the editorial office of the contemporary magazine as promised.

When the editor of the magazine knew that he was Jiang Yulou, he became more enthusiastic.

"Teacher Jiang sits."

"Teacher Jiang drinks tea."

"Mr. Jiang, I'm your book lover, can you sign it for me?"

One of the reasons why editors are like this is because of his good writing, especially a "Secret Calculation" that has countless fans. Another is because of this novel, which has brought huge benefits to the magazine.

"I can't help it, just call me Yulou."

"I'm still a student, and I can't afford to call me a teacher."

"Alas, alas, that's so polite, everyone sit down and talk."

"It's okay to sign, but my calligraphy level is average."

Jiang Yulou was a little uncomfortable with their enthusiasm, the editors in the editorial department were all twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and they were about to retire when they were old.

To tell the truth, they didn't rely on the old and sell the old, Jiang Yulou felt that he had already given himself face. As a result, now, they are so enthusiastic in front of themselves, which makes him embarrassed.

finally waited for Meng Weiya to come forward and take him away from the sea of suffering.

Jiang Yulou wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with palpitations: "Editor Meng, the people in our club are too enthusiastic. ”

"What's this, you haven't seen the realistic side of comrades." Meng Weiya said disapprovingly.

Jiang Yulou originally wanted to hear some gossip, but unfortunately he soon arrived in the conference room.

In the conference room, he met people from CCTV.

The person from CCTV is a lady, about 50 years old. She is not tall and has a healthy complexion. Her hair is always combed in a neat bun, showing her rigor and elegance. Her facial lines are well-defined, her facial features are soft, and she has a pair of bright and intelligent eyes, revealing her tenacious and independent character. There were already some wrinkles on her face, but that didn't diminish her charm, because it was a sign of time and a symbol of wisdom.

Xu Huanzi saw the two of them, especially when she saw Jiang Yulou, her expression was faintly surprised, "Comrade Jiang Yulou, is it?" Hello, I am Xu Huanzi, the leader of the CCTV drama group. ”

The young man in front of him is now a famous writer in the country?

He is inevitably too young, it is unbelievable that such a wonderful novel as "Secret Calculation" is actually written by him.

"Hello, Team Leader Xu, I am Jiang Yulou."

Jiang Yulou smiled slightly.

Xu Huanzi was looking at him, and he was also looking at Xu Huanzi.

Xu Huanzi was wearing an old gray women's suit, although her clothes had traces of pulp washing, they were very clean and tidy, showing her good living habits.

After chatting a few words, both of them had a preliminary impression of each other.

After the two sides took their seats, Xu Huanzi said lightly: "Comrade Jiang, the purpose of my coming today, I think you already know, is to win the adaptation rights of your novel "Secret Calculation". ”

Jiang Yulou did not agree immediately, but raised his own question: "Team Leader Xu, can I take the liberty of asking, why did CCTV take a fancy to my novel, and then have the idea of adapting it into a TV series?" ”

Xu Huanzi thought about it and had nothing to hide, so he said: "Recently, in order to respond to the call, our TV station is preparing to produce a batch of high-quality TV programs, but unfortunately we are suffering from a lack of good scripts. As a result, Taili set its sights on the whole society. It just so happened that two novels entered the field of vision of Taili, one is "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp" by Tang writers, and the other is Comrade Jiang's recently published novel "Secret Calculation". ”

Jiang Yulou asked again: "So, does CCTV plan to adapt these two works?" ”

Xu Huanzi shook his head and said: "No, I originally planned to adapt "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp", this project was the first I was following up, and I discussed it with the original author for a long time. But ......"

"Is there something wrong?" Jiang Yulou said curiously.

"No, it was decided to start filming this year. As a result, ......" Xu Huanzi said inexplicably: "My family recommended your novel to me. ”

"After reading your novel, I overturned the original idea, compared to "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp", your "Secret Calculation" has more adaptation value, maybe it will cause a great sensation like your novel."
