Entertainment, I just like making movies

Chapter 415 Open the right to adapt!

dong dong

The bedroom door opens.

Fang Ziheng turned around and saw Liu Qianqian walking in wearing a white nightdress and half-dry and half-wet hair.

After filming "Edge of Tomorrow" for more than two years, the young lady's short hair has grown back and is now black and thick, reaching her waist.

She had just finished taking a shower, and her cheeks were flushed, and her smile was a bit lazy.

"What are you thinking about?"

Liu Qianqian closed the door, came to him and followed his gaze out the window.

"Thinking.."

Fang Ziheng threw the phone on the bed, pulled the young lady into his arms, pinched the bridge of her delicate nose, and said with a wicked smile: "Where will I stay tonight..."

"of course"

Liu Qianqian spoke softly, then frowned and stopped saying 'my room'.

She rolled her eyes at her lover, batted her eyelashes and said with a smile: "There is a room at home. I will help you clean it up later. You can deal with it for the rest of the night."

This bad guy must have done it on purpose. I won't be fooled by you.

Fang Ziheng smiled, pecked the young lady's pink and red cheek, hugged her and sat on the bed, shook his head and said, "I'm not going anywhere tonight, I'm just going to sleep on this bed."

As he said that, he pushed the young lady and pressed on her.

The two had been dating for several years and were already an old married couple. I thought Liu's mother would not be so unkind and let him sleep in a separate room at night.

After being intimate for a while, the voice of Liu's mother calling for food came from downstairs.

At this time, night fell, Liu Qianqian panted heavily, tapped Fang Ziheng's forehead, and said coquettishly: "Get up, mother will come up later."

The first time in her own home, she couldn't let go.

"I'm going to eat. I don't know what delicious food Aunt Liu made." Fang Ziheng rolled to his feet and fastened the buttons of his pajamas two or three times.

"Mom stewed a pot of medicinal food for you. The taste is a bit unique."

Liu Qianqian picked up the mobile phone that her lover had thrown aside, straightened her waist and jumped up from the bed, and said with a look like she was watching a movie.

Good medicine!

What good medicine?

Do I still need to eat that stuff?

Fang Ziheng was confused and didn't know why Liu's mother was so enthusiastic towards him suddenly.

"Sissi, how is Auntie's cooking skills?"

"It's good. Oh, don't think too much. Mom just thinks it's rare for you to come to the house. She usually lives alone, so she wants to cook you some medicinal food to supplement her."

The young lady dragged him downstairs, not giving him a chance to refuse or think wildly.

Fang Ziheng: "."

Why do I feel that Liu’s mother’s medicinal diet is unreliable?

The fifth day of the first lunar month.

In the duplex building, Fang Ziheng was alone in the study.

Downstairs, Andy is fixing lunch.

Yesterday, he stayed at the little sister's house for a whole day, and he could feel the pain and happiness of the golden turtle husband.

Mother Liu and her mother-in-law were full of breath. She stewed a large pot of medicinal food herself and watched him finish it in one bite before she was satisfied.

So enthusiastic!

The enthusiasm is so overwhelming that you can’t stand it!

I don’t know where Liu’s mother found the medicinal formula, but the effect is ridiculously good.

Last night, he originally didn't want to be affectionate with his young sister at his mother-in-law's house. After all, they were not married yet, so he still had to pay attention.

But after eating a pot of medicinal food at night, the anger was rising, and the young lady started a war with a few provocations.

"I don't know how soundproofed Sissi's house is. She screamed a little too loud last night."

Fang Ziheng whispered, shook his head to shake some thoughts out of his mind, and clicked on Weibo to check the movies released during the Spring Festival.

On Weibo, complaints about "Havoc in Heaven" continue, with more and more film critics taking to the stage to curse.

The most influential expert is undoubtedly Teacher Liu, who reviewed "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" last year.

Teacher Six came out to speak out and pointed out the shortcomings of "Havoc in Heaven"!

"As I said before, you can adapt "Journey to the West", but you can't use "Journey to the West" to distort or make gimmicks. Monkey King, the Monkey King, cannot fall in love with goblins. This is a blasphemy and misinterpretation of the classic, and it can easily mislead children. Viewpoints and impressions of famous works.

There must be a basic bottom line in the adaptation of famous works. The personality of any character cannot be changed randomly. Secondary creation must be even more cautious. It is necessary to prevent some unscrupulous businessmen and capital from pranking celebrities in the name of promoting famous works and adapting fairy tales. Our Chinese traditional culture.

The adaptation of "Havoc in Heaven" undermines the prestige of the classic and seriously damages the Chinese people's deep feelings for "Journey to the West"! "

incredible!

My Sixth Teacher even dared to criticize China Film Group’s films.

Fang Ziheng laughed out loud and secretly gave Teacher Six a thumbs up.

At this time, Teacher Six's reputation for integrity was at its peak, and he was loved by the audience. Countless viewers regarded him as the incarnation of Brother Monkey.

When I reviewed "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" last year, a large number of viewers followed closely behind and helped to cheer.

But at that time, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was a movie released by Hengyu. At that time, Fang Ziheng cursed, "Six experts are around, saying that the sixth one is full and has nothing to do."

This year was different. Teacher Six took aim at "Havoc in Heaven", and Fang Ziheng was very grateful.

He searched and found an interview on Weibo by Tengxun Entertainment with Teacher Six about "Havoc in Heaven".

The interview came from yesterday evening. Tengxun Entertainment is working hard for traffic and dares to play any rhythm.

in video.

Teacher Six was dressed in a festive Tang suit. He was cheerful, kind and cheerful, with a calm expression.

However, what he said was very heavy, and he was almost scolding Zhen in "Havoc in Heaven" and the lead actor, Brother Monkey.

"People often interview me and ask me what I think of a certain 'Journey to the West'-themed film and television series. I didn't want to comment on it. This is an offending thing, but every time I see this kind of random adaptation of the topic of Journey to the West, movie and TV series, my heart is very painful."

I was very indignant and replied that this was not "Journey to the West" and the person playing the role was not Monkey King, the Monkey King.

Sun Wukong is a man of iron bones and a mythical figure who is an idol of the Chinese nation. I would like to warn some unscrupulous capitalists and ask you not to make random changes or make up things for the sake of gimmicks or to impress the public, and don’t think that mythical figures can do whatever they want.

When we played Sun Wukong, we put in a lot of sweat. We observed the monkey's living habits for a long time, how to stand with the feet, how to place the hands, how to hold the stick, and how to look with the eyes. Every move must be perfected in form and spirit, even the steps and jumping postures. Be particular!

Monkey opera performance is a unique art in China. As an entertainer, you have to do it well since you have accepted this show. You cannot just learn a few tricks just because you are famous and have a good audience base.

Oh, if you put makeup on your face, you will be Sun Wukong. This is a completely wrong idea and is not advisable! "

"I am a six-year-old soul boy and one of the performers of monkey drama. I cannot represent the Monkey King, nor am I the incarnation of Sun Wukong. But what I want to say is that no matter how "Journey to the West" is remade, I hope that the producers and actors will The original work must be respected. The essence of the Journey to the West culture that uniquely belongs to China cannot be altered indiscriminately, and the proud spirit of the Monkey King cannot be messed with!

I believe that if the original author Wu Chengen was still alive, he would definitely file a lawsuit with you, and he would win 100% of the time! "

Teacher Six took action and it was extraordinary!

Weibo is in full swing. With just one article and a video interview, he caused a huge storm on the Internet, making "Havoc in Heaven", which already had a poor reputation, even more unbearable, and became a street rat that everyone wanted to beat.

At China Film, Kang Di had no other good way to control reviews other than throwing money at it.

Moreover, China Film cannot spend its money indiscriminately, it must be done wisely. Director Han said that he would fully support "Havoc in Heaven", but the funds approved were not 30 million, but only 20 million.

Wanting to control reviews for 20 million is undoubtedly a fool's errand. China Film Distribution Department simply did the opposite after asking for instructions.

No more comments!

Let the movie's reputation collapse and all be spent on publicity.

Not to mention, this kind of operation really gave "Havoc in Heaven" a strong breath of life.

Yesterday, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the single-day box office of "Havoc in Heaven" reversed the decline, soaring from 52 million to 73 million, and the single-day box office increased by 21 million.

In the four days since the movie was released, the total box office has reached 335 million. Judging from this trend, even if it does not reach the achievement of 500 million in 5 days in the previous life, it can still earn 400 million in box office.

Of course.

No matter how powerful "Havoc in Heaven" is, it can't be as powerful as "Tang Detective 2"!

If "Havoc in Heaven" can still stabilize the box office trend and maintain the potential of the 1 billion box office club, then "Tang Detective 2" has just started a new round of explosive journey.

Three days after the movie became a hit, it was featured on the satellite TV evening news on the evening of the third day of the Lunar New Year, and the movie's popularity expanded by more than one movie.

Yesterday, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the single-day box office experienced rapid growth, with a revenue of 198 million!

Compared with the first one, which had a box office of 20 million in one day, "Tang Detective 2" has completely become the most popular movie during the Spring Festival.

Fang Ziheng's remarks about "2 billion box office" and his counterattack against Zheng Baorui were also widely reported by the media.

The media used headlines to add fuel to the fire. While supporting "Tang Detective 2", they secretly criticized "Havoc in Heaven".

Public opinion is like this, and its power is infinite.

You can lift an unknown person to the sky, or you can easily trample a famous figure into the dust.

The quality of "Tang Detective 2" is much better than that of the previous version. The refined plot has a larger plot, which perfectly connects with the style of the first part.

The movie has been released for a few days, and there have been very few complaints. Talking about the plot in detail, no one is slandering it without reason.

The reputation of "Havoc in Heaven" is as good as that of "Havoc in Heaven". Douban scored 8.4 points and continues to rise.

After watching for a while, Fang Ziheng closed the computer and walked downstairs leisurely.

The smell of rice wafted over, making him feel his stomach, feeling a little hungry.

in the kitchen.

Andy was dressed in beige casual clothes, with his hair tied back in a bun, and an apron tied around his neck. He was stir-frying the last dish with a spatula.

Hearing the movement behind her, the beauty turned around and looked over, saying, "Get a bowl to eat. The food will be ready soon."

"Tsk, tsk, so rich!"

Fang Ziheng looked around and saw five dishes and one soup on the cupboard, steaming hot and fragrant.

Andy turned down the heat, picked up a clean plate to serve the food, and suddenly asked: "How does it compare to your Aunt Liu's cooking?"

Yesterday she talked about a renovated building, but the little man went to someone else's house and let her go.

Fang Ziheng was a little stunned. Looking at the beauty's moving back, he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

His time management was so poor that the beauty was unhappy.

Snapped.

He stepped forward, slapped Andy on the buttocks, and hugged Andy in the face of his angry gaze.

"Aunt Liu stewed a pot of medicinal food for me last night. The effect was very good. I'll let you know about it later."

Andy was a little angry at first, but when he hugged him, he immediately lost a lot of his anger. His eyes glowed, and he said charmingly: "Oh, you think I will be afraid."

"Then try it."

Fang Ziheng smiled and squeezed her without deterring her at all.

Andy is usually busy with work. Among the girls, he spends the least time with her, so he has to comfort her.

The two were affectionate for a while, serving food and chatting while eating.

The topic ranged from several released movies to several major film and television companies, and finally turned to the copyright of Qidian novels.

"Zi Heng, although there are many copyrights in Qidian's inventory, there are very few that can be called hot hits of the year. I think we should be cautious and not sell them cheaply."

"Well, I think so too."

"You are the executive director of Hengyu at Qidian. Go back to Hengyu Reading Group and have a good chat with Wu Wenhui and the others."

Fang Ziheng gave Andy a bowl of old duck soup, nodded slightly and said.

Qidian has been upgraded to Hengyu Literature and is expected to be listed next year or the year after that. He knows the thoughts of Wu Wenhui and others and wants to sell the copyright in advance to build momentum for the listing.

This idea was rejected by him yesterday.

It’s OK to build momentum, but no company should brag and deceive several large investment banks before going public.

But copyright cannot be sold cheaply, or it is best not to sell it.

Copyright has a very special position in the film and television industry, that is, if the adaptation of a work is very successful, the value of the copyright will double several times.

Just like "Four Famous Catchers" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", after being adapted by Hengyu Media, the prices of the two works have at least tripled.

According to the latest news, Alibaba Pictures approached Mr. Wen, the director of "Four Famous Catchers", and bought the rights to adapt the novel into a TV series for a whopping 10 million.

Alibaba Pictures originally wanted to win the film adaptation rights immediately, but Mr. Wen told him that the film adaptation rights were in the hands of Hengyu.

Exclusive film adaptation rights for fifty years!

At that time, Hengyu only paid 5 million.

The price of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is higher, and Tengxun Pictures handed over a cooperation invitation to develop a sequel to "The Secret of the Dragon" in 2016.

Offer 30 million!

For a sequel movie, the adaptation rights alone cost 30 million RMB.

The cooperation invitation also stated that Teng Xun invested 60% of the funds, accounting for only 50% of the total share. If Fang Ziheng directed it himself, they could also give up 10% of the profits to him as the director.

Hengyu can receive an initial adaptation fee of 30 million yuan, and after paying the original author Tianxiaba Sing 5 million yuan, he will make a net profit of 25 million yuan.

In the past, this price was unthinkable.

Such a high price is due to the fact that "The Secret of the Dragon" has been a hit all over the world, and a sequel will naturally be anticipated by the audience.

Tengxun Pictures can use the sequel to open up their production field. As long as "The Secret of the Dragon 2" does not do poorly at the box office, they will gain a firm foothold in the industry and gain popularity.

However, "Immortality", a collaboration between the two companies, is not controlled by Tengxun Pictures, which is not enough for them to establish industry prestige.

“I don’t think it’s appropriate to hold a separate meeting of China Literature Group, which would dampen the enthusiasm of Qidian executives.”

Andy frowned and said, took the rice bowl, stirred it gently in the bowl with a spoon, and fell into deep thought.

"It's inappropriate, what should I say?"

Fang Ziheng's eyes narrowed, he put down his chopsticks, took out a napkin, wiped the corners of his mouth and continued eating.

Bing Meiren's craftsmanship is good, much better than Liu's mother.

Andy thought for a while, raised his eyes and smiled slightly: "Adaptation is the general trend. If you can stop it once, you won't be able to stop it the second time. The more times you do it, the higher the morale of Qidian executives will be gone."

"We still have to loosen the grip on adaptation. We hold the film and television adaptation rights in our hands and cannot move lightly. Game adaptation rights and animation adaptation rights can be developed one by one."

"You mean to hold a meeting of all senior executives of Hengyu Group to deepen the cooperation between Hengyu Games, Tudou Video, and Hengyu Reading."

"Yes, Hengyu Reading has to make money after all. Several previous novels adapted into games sold very well. We can completely let go of the rights to adapt games and animations to increase the commercial value of Qidian Chinese website!"
