Chapter 115 "Condor" Project Establishment [18000 Recommended Votes Plus Update]

Yue Guan did not prevaricate Bi Zhifei.

He was indeed talking to Zhang Ji about the film and television project of "The Condor Heroes".

There are many types of copyrights, and film and television adaptations are only one of them, and they are not necessarily the most profitable among them.

However, Yue Guanming's identity is an actor after all.

Other copyrights can be handed over to professionals to negotiate, and Yue Guan will follow up on film and television copyrights in person.

Zhang Jizhong is a big director who was handpicked by the above.

Taizu's martial arts Zhang Jizhong has been remade before, and they have all been scolded, but the ratings are not low.

In the past two years, as martial arts dramas have become more and more declining, Zhang Jizhong's reputation in the minds of the audience has become higher and higher day by day.

It's really a good foil for peers.

Now that the above wants to support the theme of martial arts and wants to adapt film and television dramas, the first choice of director is Zhang Jizhong.

Yue Guan has no opinion on this.

Zhang Jizhong's martial arts drama, as long as you don't find Li Yapeng as the starring role, you can basically rest assured of him.

Now it is impossible for Zhang Jizhong to go to Li Yapeng.

Because Li Yapeng has retired from the circle to work in real estate.

"Yue Guan, what do you think about the adaptation of "The Condor Heroes" into a film and television drama?"

Zhang Jizhong respects Yue Guan's opinion.

He even carried a notebook with him, and if Yue Guan's opinion was important, he would write it down in the notebook first, so as not to forget it later.

At the time of the award, Zhang Jizhong said that he was a fan of Yue Guan, and he was not lying.

Martial arts is a fairy tale for adults, and today's young people don't particularly like to watch martial arts anymore, but middle-aged people like it very much.

Zhang Jizhong is the kind he likes very much, and the degree is probably about the same as Ma Yun.

Yue Guan thought for a while and said seriously: "If the first version is used, it must be adapted from the original work to attract the original party to the greatest extent." ”

"I think so too, your writing is very good, the graphics are very good, and it is easy to adapt into a screenplay. Unlike Gu Long, the plot has not changed much and there is no way to put it on the screen. Zhang Jizhong complained.

Yue Guan smiled.

is also a martial arts master, Gu Long's status is not as good as Jin Yong, which is basically recognized, in addition to the fact that there is indeed a gap in hard power, in terms of film and television, Gu Long's martial arts are even worse.

Gu Long's martial arts are too ethereal and ethereal, and it is difficult to film and television, Jin Yong is different in this regard, just shoot according to the plot, as long as it can be filmed, the original party will basically pay for it.

Gulong martial arts can't be filmed at all according to the original book, the plot is too scattered, the fight is too fast, the environment is too dangerous, and the master will be at full level when he comes out...... This kind of plot is very cool to watch in it, but once it is made into a TV movie, it will be very boring.

A fight in one second is over, how cool is the audience?

"Director Zhang, do you want to shoot one more version?" Yue Guan took the initiative to ask.

Zhang Jizhong didn't understand Yue Guan's words: "What do you mean by shooting one more version?"

"Shoot a version according to the original book, and it should be released on CCTV if nothing else. and then use the same lineup to shoot an additional version that does not follow the original plot, and broadcast it on the five-star video. ”

Zhang Jizhong is well-informed, but it is the first time he has seen this kind of operation of Yue Guan, and he can't understand the meaning of Yue Guan for a while.

"What's the point of doing that?"

"Make money. Yue Guan said very calmly: "Shoot according to the original work and show it on the TV station to satisfy the original party." and then make a version of "The Condor Heroes" to make up for the regrets of the original work, attract these audiences to pay to watch, and the income will be shared equally between the five-star video and the investor. ”

Zhang Jizhong slowed down, but his brain was still running: "Make up for the regrets of the original work? What are the regrets of the original work......?"

Zhang Jizhong looked at Yue Guan and said in surprise: "You don't mean to let Yang Guo accept all the female characters, right?"

When "The Condor Heroes" was serialized, it was very popular and created many classic characters, especially female characters.

And these female characters are more or less ambiguous with Yang Guo.

Many readers said that when they saw Yang Guo, they were mistaken, and Yang was a scumbag, and they only flirted but did not marry.

There are even many readers who are Guo Xiang Dang and Gongsun Green Calyx Dang.

When Zhang Jizhong himself read the original work of "The Condor Heroes", he also had regrets in this regard.

There are so many excellent female characters, and in the end, Yang Guo gave up all of them, which is really a pity.

But it doesn't stop there.

He wasn't going to do anything.

However, Yue Guan clearly intends to do something.

"Director Zhang, if you make a version of "The Condor Heroes" that Yang Guo has collected all the female characters, will you spend money to watch it? ”

Zhang Jizhong hesitated for a moment and said the truth: "Yes." ”

"How many men do you think are interested in this version of The Condor Heroes?"

Zhang Jizhong thought for a while: "There are many, there are only two kinds of men, lustful and particularly." ”

There is no harem-oriented TV series because it does not promote this value.

Do you really think that male viewers don't want to watch this kind of TV series?

Not to mention the male audience, the female audience will watch it.

Otherwise, how could the palace fight drama become popular?

A group of concubines revolve around the emperor, isn't it just a harem drama with a skin?

Zhang Jizhong is an excellent commercial director, and he quickly realized the "money scene" of such a film.

"How much money did you make from audience subscriptions in the second season of 'Edge of the City'?" Zhang Jizhong asked.

Yue Guan stretched out three fingers: "So far, more than 30 million." ”

Zhang Jizhong was completely moved.

"The niche theme of "Edge of the City" can generate 30 million yuan, if "The Condor Heroes" is filmed, it will not be too much, right?"

Yue Guan chuckled: "Director Zhang, it depends on the cast and the quality of the finished product of "The Condor Heroes". As long as it reaches above the average, a five-fold or even tenfold increase is the same as playing, after all, "The Condor Heroes" wins "Edge of the City" too much in terms of fame and subject matter. In addition, when you were filming the TV series version of "The Condor Heroes", you weren't going to invite too many big-name stars. ”

"It's not that I'm not ready to invite, it's that I can't be invited, many big-name stars don't make TV series. Zhang Jizhong said with emotion.

"Forget about male stars, in terms of female stars, there is a five-star video backing, and in terms of salary, the budget can be doubled, and the salary can also be doubled. Director Zhang, think about what the effect of a TV series will be to kill all the popular little flowers in the entertainment industry? I think the above must hope that the lineup of the TV series version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is as strong as possible. ”

Zhang Jizhong couldn't sit still.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Yue Guan said made sense.

This time, he was designated as the chief director of the film and television project of "The Condor Heroes", although it is an honor, but he is also under a lot of pressure.

If "The Condor Heroes" is filmed on the street, it will be difficult for him to mix in the circle in the future.

And Yue Guan's proposal minimized his risk.
