908. A different story(1/3)
Looking at Qi Lei, Yang Mi's gaze completely lit up.
She is actually quite confident in her own vision, after all, "By Steps" and "Zhen Huan" have proved this.
It also proves that there is great potential in the online literature IP adaptation market.
but……
The main reason why Shuangwei's TV series adaptation project has not been launched for a long time is that she is very busy.
I can't say I'm lazy, but I haven't found the right opportunity.
Although many companies came to her after both dramas were successful, either investing or cooperating, she never liked her.
Moreover, she also understood what it means to not flow into the fields of outsiders.
Anyway, everyone's attention has been on the movies in the past two years, so she is not in a hurry.
But now, when she heard from Qilena that she wanted to start strengthening her TV drama business, she knew that the dozens of books she had finally had the opportunity to "see the light of day again".
"Mimi, are you interested?"
Qi Lei said as he stood up, walked to his desk and looked through it, and found a document.
"For this, this is the plan submitted when our TV station held a summary meeting in November last year."
After Yang Mi took it, he continued:
"In fact, there are two requirements. One is that Western Film Channel will form a film crew on its own. The other is to approve the budget and want to start investing in TV series. However, we have invested in many movies this year. Although the money is enough, it is a bit tight. We don't have much thoughts on TV series for the time being. We originally planned to wait for Shaanxi and Taiwan to get money. Next year, the two companies will work together. This will not catch up with the Internet's entry and the box office boom of several movies... We have gained a lot of money all of a sudden, so naturally this matter will be put on the agenda."
"Uh-huh."
She looked through it and said to Xu Xin:
"You talk to Brother Qi."
Xu Xin, who was detained for some reason, was speechless, but he still asked for help:
"Do you plan to build a joint venture company?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be like this. If we invest directly, will we become one of the distribution channels? That is not cost-effective. In fact, this time, Mr. Tian and I have been talking about this for several days, including the establishment of an outsourcing company you mentioned before... This is an inevitable trend. If you can't stop it, don't block it and play a guiding role. What's more, we can see the data of TV stations in recent years. It is already the future trend to replace TV on the Internet platform to measure the value of image products. We must also follow the trend."
Speaking of this, he sprayed out a smog of sighs:
"It's really a change every year... the speed is so fast that people can't accept it..."
"This is their style of conduct. Besides... in this matter, both Lost in Thailand and Perfect have played a role in promoting it. Everyone wants to be the first person to eat the crab..."
"I remembered you said this."
Qi Lei, who had just sat down for less than a minute, stood up again.
I've been operating at my desk for a long time this time.
I heard the "buzzing" sound of the printer.
Then, more than a dozen pages of paper were taken in front of Xu Xin:
"Give it, you can take a look."
Xu Xin took it casually and took a look, and found that it was all emails.
And when he saw the content inside, he was happy:
“What about so many?”
Yes, these are all emails that want to buy the copyright of "Perfect Stranger".
"Um."
Qi Lei was also happy:
"It's basically one letter a day, and it's just copyright. I didn't even call you the inquiry emails issued and released in other countries. This time, there will be a special docking team. I have agreed with them to negotiate in Berlin."
In fact, there are only two things that "Perfect" are negotiating now.
One is the release of the movie, the other is the copyright of the remake.
All it can bring is fame and money.
He doesn't care about money. As for fame...
“Is there anything I have to attend for this year’s awards?”
Qi Lei thought about it and said:
"One is the David Award in April, which is definitely something to participate in. As for other film festivals, do you have any movies you want to go to? Such as the Rome International Film Festival and the Barcelona Film Festival are a little worse than the 9A, but they also have a certain influence."
“Um…”
Xu Xin thought a little.
In fact, these film festivals are not the three largest in Europe and are not important in theory.
But what this involves is the influence of a Chinese director in Europe.
Although he had already obtained the Silver Lion of Venice... If he asked the Europeans who he was, he might be NOBODY except for his "distant relatives" who left the Italian door.
But if you ask the old man who Wang Jiawei is, it would be too exaggerated to say that nine of them are too much, but four or five of them know that it should be fine.
Their fame is not only through their works, but also an important channel to broaden their fame.
“You can participate.”
After thinking about it, he gave his own answer.
"Next year, there will be a script for her. To be honest, I can't say how long it will take to shoot this script. Now I don't even have too many questions about the actor audition. If you can find an actor smoothly, you can finish it before the day is hot. After this movie is finished, I want to try a commercial film for the next movie. But I don't have a suitable script yet, and with my speed... I guess if I finish the movie next year, I will be idle for a while. At that time, I can consider taking the work to enter these film festivals and expanding the influence."
"oh?"
Hearing Xu Xin's words, Qi Lei's eyes lit up:
"It's that "Breaking Silent"?"
"Um."
Now, Qi Lei is really interested.
He knew that Xu Xin had been preparing for this story for many years.
It can even be said that it will run through the other party’s current directorial career.
But I don't know what this story is about.
Every time I ask Xu Xin, he would make it up with "I was inspired by the story of a friend of my father back then."
Never say specific content.
But the more this happens, Qi Lei becomes more and more curious.
So much so that he still asked the question "What kind of story is this?" He had asked at least four or five times.
And after asking, I realized that Xu Xin would not answer at all.
But this time...
"Well...why are you talking about it? Let me tell you the prototype of this story first."
"Not the final word...well?"
Suddenly, Qi Lei raised his head suddenly.
"very!?"
Looking at his surprised look, Xu Xin smiled and said:
"Tell you a story, Brother Qi, don't you want to know what story this is?"
“…”
Qi Lei was stunned for a moment, his face full of speechless expressions.
It's like saying: Have you finally discovered your conscience?
Faced with his speechlessness, Xu Xin lit another cigarette.
As the original creator of this story, he really feels that his story is good everywhere.
It's waste cigarettes.
After picking up the teacup and moistening his throat, he said:
"The prototype of the story is a friend of my father. One year he drove down the mine and accidentally hit a child on the side of the road. The road was quite erratic at that time. When he saw that there was no one around, he pulled the child directly to the mountain next to him and buried it. As a result, a few days later, the slope was about to explode the road construction, and the child's body was found. In the end, the police arrested the person and sentenced him to life. Now he is squatting in the prison in Yanjing."
“…”
Qi Lei frowned slightly.
The first reaction is...this is it?
Just such a story, how many years should I do?
It's too simple, right?
"Suspenseful case-solving film? Police perspective, criminal investigation police chase the murderer?"
To be continued...
