Chapter 68: Appointment (Ask for Recommendations)
(Push down Big Bird's new book "I'm Really Mixed in the Entertainment Industry")
"First of all, I think it's a bit too much for you to reduce a person's crime to a book and instigating it, don't many embezzlers recite their declarations?
"I think people who go to rob tombs after reading two tomb robbery novels may not be able to dig a pit and bury themselves overnight!"
"There is no shortage of scum and stupidity in any industry..."
"Secondly, you said the United States, in fact, "Ghost Blows the Lamp" was released in the United States last year, "Candle in the Tomb", Amazon has a purchase address, and the sales are okay, and it has been on the top 100 of the best-selling list... As for the Anti-Vulgarity Act, it was primarily for public television, otherwise places like the San Fernando Valley would not have been able to continue to exist..."
"Finally, I want to say that "Ghost Blows the Lamp" is a popular genre novel of Zhiwei, and to evaluate it, it is best to be commercial and adaptable, I don't think I have committed any heinous crimes, and if I really read what I wrote, I shouldn't go to the grave easily, because I wrote it very clearly!"
Shen Mengxi answered her questions very methodically...
"What is the San Fernando Valley?"
"The production base of Ivy in the United States accounts for 90% of the output in the United States!"
“... Then you haven't responded to the question of the deputy editor of Harvest magazine..."
Shen Mengxi hesitated, glanced at Chen Weihong, and simply said: "When I was in junior high school, there were two copies of "Harvest" at home, and my father hid them very tightly and didn't let me read them, but later I still read them, and then they became special things for jerking off!"
The pure literature in "Harvest" is really, indescribable!
All kinds of descriptions of butts and big breasts are really like Han Han's original words when he scolded Bai Ye last year: 'Page 80 has to go to bed, and you have to be wild, page 100 has to be gay, and 3 skins, page 200 has to be a little violent, you have to be dead, page 400 has to have some eggs, and you have to be a mother and daughter... The most important thing, page 440 Wen Ge, the critic looked at it, shocked, fuck, it's all human nature, it's all the fringes of society, it's all the confusion of character, care about human beings, bullshit, pure literature. ’
Just look for an article, it's basically this mold!
The little brothers who watched all kinds of stand-ups, more than some pure little yellow texts to watch!
......
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Mengxi left the recording hall of "Dialogue".
These spectators are much more difficult to deal with than the experts!
One by one, he criticized Shen Mengxi with the keyword 'instigation', even if he had already said 'you put a person's crime into a book to instigate, it's a bit excessive', it's useless...
In a hurry, Shen Mengxi said, 'I wrote "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" to create a pan-big IP, which can be adapted into movies, TV series, games, stage plays and even theme parks, at least to drive tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of output value, I stand on the fifth layer, you are on the first floor, we have different ideas, we can't communicate!'
In the end, Chen Weihong relieved the siege: "Western countries also have stories of vampires and werewolves, and the recently popular movie "Twilight" is a story of a little girl falling in love with a vampire, I think we still have to give the creator relative freedom, and you can't ban it just because you don't like it..."
Anyway, Shen Mengxi won't be on the show again for a short time, except for the recording hall, he called the staff directly and asked him to push "Kefan Listening"...
That's it!
As a screenwriter and producer, he should honestly stay behind the scenes.
Xiao Xu was waiting for him in the car, Shen Mengxi got in the car and took off his coat: "Go back to the company immediately!"
"Well, Mr. Zhang and the people from NetEase are waiting for you!"
"Okay..."
Teacher Zhang is Zhang Shuping, the styling and costume designer of "Painted Skin"...
Styling and costume design are important!
Zhou Yanfa's black clothes in "The True Color of Heroes", Chen Chong's whiteness in "Seducting Monks" and Zhang Guorong in "Rouge Buckle"...
Of course, there is also the most important Maggie Cheung and Liang Chaowei in "In the Mood for Love", which slowly flows out of the gray sentimentality of the Oriental, which is unforgettable!
Of course, the people from NetEase are also coming, the game of the same name is in development, and they are very concerned about the preparation of the movie "Painted Skin"...
Especially the styling design!
......
"First of all, the historical background of "Painted Skin" is in the Jin Dynasty, so our clothing and modeling are bound to learn from ancient documents, of course, it is not necessary to completely design according to ancient documents, but it must have some ancient style!"
"We look at the information, the Jin Dynasty women wear characteristics: placket, corset, wide sleeves, cuffs decorated with a different color of sticker sleeves. Under the striped intercolored skirt. At that time, women's bottoms wore other skirts in addition to intercolored skirts. Except for the corset, everything else can be referred to..."
"Men's clothes are mostly long shirts, that is, the kind of long-sleeved shirts, so prepare a few more long shirts for Wang Sheng, and as for military uniforms, armor must also be designed..."
"You can refer to the costumes in "Red Cliff", but you can't copy it..."
"The most important weapon shape, the soldiers at that time were mostly collars, so, of course, the upper class could use swords..."
Shen Mengxi talked a lot with Zhang Shuping, in fact, he wanted to find Tim Yip, because Tim Ye served as the styling designer of "Red Cliff", and the historical background of "Painted Skin" is close to the Three Kingdoms period, and many shapes can be copied...
Isn't Tim Ye busy!
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away..."
"By the way, this is the concept design of the character drawn by Yoshitaka Amano, "Painted Skin" is still a fantasy genre film after all, so I hope that Xiao Wei's costumes and shapes can highlight the charm..."
"No problem!"
Party A's father's request, Zhang Shuping agreed very happily...
Then it's time to talk to the game company...
""Painted Skin", if nothing else, should be a trilogy, by the way, a prequel, to show the whole world..."
"In addition to demon hunters and swordsmen, what other professions do you have?"
"Qin Heavenly Eunuch, Spirit Fox, Fang Shi, Assassin... You can design whatever you want, there is a "Painted Skin" movie for promotion, are you still worried that there will be no users?"
"And when are you going to release it?"
Shen Mengxi pondered for a moment, and then said: "No accident, next year's National Day file, it's best to coordinate, games and movies will be launched simultaneously!"
"Then I'll go back and discuss with the planner if I can speed up the research and development process!"
"Hmm..."
After sending off NetEase's contact, Shen Mengxi returned to the office and sat down, and the phone rang again...
This time it's Huang Xiaoming, he wants to make an appointment with Shen Mengxi...
The reason is that I can't grasp the characters in the script and want to talk to the screenwriter...
Shen Mengxi looked at the time, it was almost five o'clock, well, it was time for dinner, and then agreed.
