Chapter 374

"Well, I like your straightforward character!"

When Lin Canglang patted the table, he almost knocked over the tea cup in front of him.

"Lin, you should slow down?" Fang Zhongshu was startled by Lin Canglang, glared at him and said, "don't always be surprised, and then scare Xiao Xia."

Liu Zixia is also a face of crying and laughing, this Lin family old man's temper is really straightforward, irritable ah!

"Then I have something to say!"

Lin Xuefeng organized the language and said, "Xiaoxia, the copyright of journey to the West should still be in your hands, right? I want to adapt your novel into a TV play. What do you think? "

"Ah?"

Liu Zixia was stunned for a moment. He thought it was a big thing, but he thought about what to do if he couldn't do it? After hearing about it, I was worried for nothing.

Journey to the west is Liu Zixia's own work, he has complete right of discourse!

Seeing that Liu Zixia didn't speak, he showed a look of astonishment. Lin Xuefeng was a little anxious and said quickly, "how? Have you sold the film rights? "

"No, No." Liu Zixia shook his head, said: "in addition to the simplified and traditional copyright agent out, all other copyright, but also in my hands."

"That's easy to say."

Lin Changfeng also laughed, he said: "Xiao Xia, the content of your journey to the West covers the thoughts of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. It not only makes the immortals of Buddhism and Taoism perform at the same time, but also injects the real social human state into the world of god Buddha, and sometimes inserts some Confucian wisdom."

At this point, Lin Changfeng hesitated and continued: "the Cultural Industry Department of the Ministry wants to build a traditional cultural brand that belongs to China." journey to the west "is one of the shortlisted brand works. It happens that Xuefeng's film and television company is a cooperative unit of the Department of cultural industry, so... "

Later, Lin Changfeng didn't say it, but Liu Zixia also understood it.

Fang Zhongshu and Lin Canglang have been brothers for many years, and the Fang family and the Lin family are also the partners of the upper Zhengzhi. There is no reason to leave this kind of thing, which is both named and profitable, to other people.

"Xiao Xia, don't worry, we won't let you suffer."

Lin Xuefeng interjected: "I know that you also have a studio. Well, if you can sell me the adaptation copyright of the TV play journey to the west, I can cooperate with your studio to shoot this TV play. What do you think?"

Hearing Lin Canglang's words, Liu Zixia gave a bitter smile and said:

"To tell you the truth, I have a plan for journey to the West. It's just that the background of journey to the west is grand, and there are high requirements for shooting site, technology, modeling, casting... So I haven't touched it. In my opinion, it will be at least two to three years before we can go on the same road. "

Liu Zixia is still very persistent about the things brought by that world. No matter what, the copyright must not leave his own hands.

As for the copyright of the fairy tales sold to Lang Wenxing, Liu Zixia really didn't like it!

"You mean you have to do it yourself?"

Lin Xuefeng recognized the meaning of Liu Zixia's words. He said: "in fact, you don't have to do it yourself. My company has the best shooting team in the industry. We can solve the technical problems of the venue you mentioned..."

"Uncle Lin, I mean, for journey to the west, we have to go to the poor mountains and evil waters to shoot, instead of using all kinds of high-tech means."

Liu Zixia interrupted Lin Xuefeng and continued: "at this stage of shooting, it will take at least half a year to one year, not including post production."

Liu Zixia clearly remembers the shooting time of the 86 edition of journey to the West. The first part was from 1982 to 1968, which took about one year to shoot and five years to post produce; The sequel was shot from 1998 to 1999, plus more than half a year of post production.

Maybe because of the technical problems at that time, the post production time was lengthened, but the real shooting time lasted for two years.

Two years of shooting time is a long time for Liu Zixia.

The current shooting technology in this world is the same as that of Liu Zixia in 2000. If we have the right to shoot journey to the west, we still need one year.

But the problem is that few TV plays can be filmed for about a year.

Because the cost is too high, shooting TV series is to make money, no one is willing to spend high cost to shoot a TV series.

Who knows if the cost can be recovered?

"Half a year to a year for shooting, plus post production, it takes at least more than a year, then the time cycle is really long."

Fang Changfeng did not expect that Liu Zixia had already predicted the adaptation of the TV series journey to the west, and even predicted the time

"But it doesn't matter. We set a time limit of two to three years for this brand of Chinese traditional culture. It's still in time."

Why don't you understand?

These two people are really good. I can't hear such a clear refusal.

It seems that putting the facts and reasoning out will not work.

When Liu Zixia wanted to refuse directly, Fang Zhongshu said, "you two, one on the left won't let you lose, while the other on the right won't let you shoot together. How about money? What business do you have no money for? "

This man is old enough to think things through!

"Ah? Oh, yes

Lin Xuefeng suddenly realized and said: "Xiaoxia, we can cooperate in shooting and distribute the equity according to the amount of investment. When the TV series are sold, the profits will be distributed according to the proportion of contribution. What do you think? "

After all, Liu Zixia began to think about it seriously.

Taking the relationship between the Lin family and the Fang family as an example, if Liu Zixia refuses now, as the culture and art department directly under the general office of telecommunications, it is inevitable that he will not give Liu Zixia or Wenxing entertainment shoes in the future.

But if he agreed, Liu Zixia was not reconciled.

After all, Lin Xuefeng is now in front of his father, and it's hard to say anything cruel. Liu Zixia has reason to believe that if they talked in private, they would have started all kinds of coercion.

Can the person who can develop Rongda film and television to the present situation be a good talker?

"It can be." After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Zixia said, "but, uncle Lin, I want to ask you, don't you know how much you want to invest in journey to the west?"

"One hundred million!" Lin Xuefeng directly stretched out a finger, "after all, we are cooperative shooting, I can give you half of the equity, and this is not the money to buy copyright."

This is Lin Xuefeng's biggest concession, half to half, putting Liu Zixia on an equal position.

"Fifty million? Not much Liu Zixia murmured in a low voice.

Which of the major TV dramas has invested more than 100 million yuan? Some of them have even invested two or three billion yuan. But whether this capital can be recovered or not is another matter.

"Well, I can promise you." Liu Zixia nodded, "but the screenwriter of journey to the West must be me, and the choice of various characters and supporting roles in the TV series must be made by me. Without my consent, uncle Lin, your company can't decide at will."

"I forgot, Xiao Xia, that you are an excellent screenwriter." Lin Xuefeng laughed and said, "I can agree to your request! Otherwise, after a year's waiting, let's talk about the adaptation of journey to the West into a TV series and make a decision. "

"Good." Liu Zixia nodded and agreed.

Liu Zixia really didn't believe Lin Xuefeng when he made such a dry oral agreement.

After the new year, Liu Zixia can also feel at ease after a negotiation with a professional team.

"Well, it's over. Let's go on eating." Lin Canglang patted the table, "Xiao Xiao, give grandfather a bowl of soup. I can't move my old arms and legs..."

……

It was more than 3 p.m. when I came out of Fang's courtyard.

These two cheap uncles, Leng is to pull Liu Zixia to talk for more than two hours.

Fortunately, in addition to the adaptation of journey to the west, Liu Zixia is not without harvest.

According to Fang Changfeng, the Ministry of culture and art wants to build a "brand of traditional Chinese culture" after new year's Eve. Today's meal is worth it.

Although Fang Changfeng didn't name all the other shortlisted works, from the perspective of choosing journey to the west, it should be cultural works with obvious Chinese characteristics, such as local religion, traditional Chinese culture, traditional Chinese medicine, etc.

Out of the door, on the way to the parking lot, Liu Zixia called Lang Wenxing about it, and at the same time, he got angry with Lin Xuefeng about buying the copyright of the TV series adapted from journey to the West.

Lang Wenxing was calm and told Liu Zixia to talk about it after the Chinese New Year.

Hang up the phone, Liu Zixia started the car, first went home, took two sets of clothes for the Spring Festival Gala, and then drove directly to the CCTV building.

……

As time approaches, the Spring Festival gala will be broadcast soon, and it will be broadcast by multiple stations all over the country, as well as live broadcast by various online video websites.

Looking at the time, the Internet has been bustling, and netizens have rushed to CCTV's live website for comments

"The Spring Festival Gala is about to start, ready to watch live."

"Every year's Spring Festival Gala has countless slots. How about this year's Gala?"

"Come on, let's count together. We're waiting to see your comments. Every year we live by your comments."

"This year, I've been singing a lot, but there are no songs in the catalogue of this program."

"Upstairs, you don't know the routine of CCTV. If they all reveal it, do you still watch the Spring Festival Gala..."

It seems that netizens have deep prejudices about CCTV's Spring Festival Gala.

No wonder the chief director of CCTV Spring Festival Gala is changed every year, and the programs selected are also various. Although there are various forms of artistic expression, it is difficult for the audience to tune in.

From dance, song, sketch, crosstalk... There is a lack of some innovative consciousness every year.

Every director, adhering to the conservative, and strive to be stable and not chaotic!

However, one thing to mention is that all the programs on CCTV Spring Festival Gala share a common theme:

That is to conform to the socialist values, carry forward the traditional Chinese culture and the spirit of the Chinese nation!

At this point, the major Chinese TV stations, no matter what kind of party or what kind of activity, are not as good as CCTV Spring Festival Gala!

This is why CCTV Spring Festival Gala has been held for so many years, though there are countless people make complaints about it every year, but what's more, there are still so many loyal audiences.
