Chapter 102: Writing Martial Arts, Not Just Jin Yong (Third Update!)
With "Bao Qingtian" and "Wulin Gaiden" both airing one episode a day, the actors and crew of the two crews are much more relaxed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although when they are in good shape, they can shoot one and a half episodes, or even two episodes a day, but they no longer have the feeling of urgency and tension at the beginning, and after the atmosphere relaxes, the shooting effect is much better.
So Xiao Sheng also had time to rest at night, no, he went to Yin Jun for dinner tonight.
When Yin Jun arrived, he realized that Xiao Sheng was not alone, and there were several Xiao Sheng's friends, all of whom were screenwriters or producers in the industry.
Among these people, there are Jiashi, there are also wireless, and there are Li.
Although the three TV stations are in a big war, the staff of the three TV stations are actually quite familiar, and many of them are still friends.
This also ensures that if any TV station is not treated well, they can turn around and leave.
In fact, now in history, when Jiashi was about to go out of business, these staff members and actors are familiar with the other two TV stations.
Xiao Sheng went to Li's, but he was later poached by wireless and became one of the fat and thin two Tianzun.
Now it seems that he does have a better relationship with Li, because of the seven people present, four are Li's people, and only two are wireless.
After some introduction, Yin Jun sat down next to Xiao Sheng, but everyone's envious, jealous and hateful eyes still followed him.
There is not much taste of picking, because if you can write a "Bao Qingtian" to be popular, it may be **** luck, but another "Wulin Gaiden" is also equally popular, then it is definitely not just luck, strength must account for most of the factors.
Especially in the plot of the Jedi reversal in "Wulin Gaiden", many of them thought that Yin Jun was planted, but they didn't expect it to be them.
With the help of the students in the summer, the average rating of "Wulin Gaiden" now directly rushes to about 62%, and occasionally it can brush up on 70% of the ratings, which makes wireless and beautiful miserable.
Especially wireless, not only the 7 o'clock file and the 8 o'clock file were beaten by the two dramas of Jiashi without any power to fight back, but even their magic weapon "Happy Tonight", and now the ratings have been declining by Li's TV series "Crocodile Tears", and many users have even begun to wonder whether it is a correct decision to choose wireless as the first viewing TV station.
In Xiangjiang, success is the biggest identity certificate, so even if Yin Jun is only 16 years old, the twenty or thirty years old and even thirty or forty years old industry seniors present are only polite and respectful to Yin Jun, and even have a feeling of looking up.
Today, Xiao Sheng is just a gathering of friends, and he invited Yin Jun to have a light meal, not to discuss anything.
Xiao Sheng knew that Yin Jun didn't like to talk too much, so he didn't care about him, and chatted again with his friends after drinking.
Most of what they talk about is still the industry, there are serious things and interesting things, and Yin Jun will not be boring to listen to.
Xiao Sheng has been very prosperous recently, but there are also grievances, and today he is talking about one thing that raises his eyebrows.
"What is he arrogant? Doesn't he just think that he is amazing, and we can't do without him? This idiot! I have long wanted to clean him up! I don't take acting seriously all day long, but I am very interested in going to banquets and having fun at night, such a person still dares to constantly ask for high salaries?" Xiao Sheng drank a little too much, and said in disgust: "I'm bah! Now that Junzai's "Wulin Gaiden" is very popular, I finally have a chance to clean him up! Originally, I thought he would fight against me, but I didn't expect this guy to be so cowardly, so he invited Xiao Fan to bring him to make amends that night! If I hadn't given Xiao Fan face, would he be a fool?
When he said this, Yin Jun already knew who he was talking about.
It seems that Hui Tianci is really unpopular, Xiao Sheng, a person who can bear it, now says that he is in front of everyone, obviously disgusted by Hui Tianci.
"Tell me, he and Xiao Fan are brothers, both recommended by Junzai, and they are both newcomers...... But why is there such a big gap between people? Xiao Fan is so modest and so serious, which makes me, the producer, very embarrassed, and thinks that I should learn from him, but this guy is good, and he has completely become the opposite foil of Xiao Fan!" Xiao Sheng continued, "It's like Xiao Fan, if there is any role in the future, if it is not suitable, I have to think about him." But this guy, after completing this cooperation, which turtle grandson is willing to continue to cooperate with him!
Others echoed Xiao Sheng one after another, but Yin Jun was not easy to talk to beside him.
People are diverse, and it is impossible to meet only people who are pleasing to the eye in a lifetime.
Although Hui Tianci is a greedy and selfish person, he is not a bad person in nature, and Yin Jun will ignore him at most, but he will not say anything more.
Yin Jun came over today, and the biggest gain was not the relaxation of eating and chatting, but getting to know the young man with glasses sitting next to him.
This young man with glasses is very talkative and likes to tell stories, although most of them are scary, but everyone also listens to them with relish, and from time to time they participate in discussions.
The young man with glasses is not only talkative, but also very upright when drinking, a small glass of five-dollar liquor, a sip of stuffy, never shirk.
He drank a good amount of wine, drinking about half a catty of wine, but his face was only a little red, but his conversation was stronger.
After a dinner, the young man with glasses was almost carried home.
So much so that the next morning, Yin Jun called his house and asked him to come out for morning tea, and when he came out, he was still a little drunk and hazy.
"Jun Shao, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I drank too much yesterday, I'll eat something first!" The young man with glasses didn't see outside, he took the pork bun and the egg tart and stuffed it into his mouth, and after eating it for a while, he became energetic.
"I don't know what kind of care Jun Shao did you take when you came out of me?" After eating enough, the young man with glasses looked at Yin Jun with a smile and asked, "Shouldn't it be as simple as just inviting me to morning tea?"
"Of course not, Brother Eagle. Yin Jun smiled and said, "I have some things I want to ask you for." ”
"Say, as long as I can do it, there will be no problem!" said the young man in glasses, patting his chest.
His name is Huang Ying, nicknamed "Little Eagle", he is the author of the best-selling novel "Shen Shengyi Legend Series" in the past two years, and was recruited by Li's Xiao Ruoyuan to be Li's screenwriter last year, but for more than a year, his achievements are not very outstanding, and he is not very valued in Li's.
Yin Jun heard Huang Ying's name for the first time, but not because of the classic TV series "Hero Shen Shengyi", but in the 1990 movie "Smiling Proud Jianghu".
At that time, the screenwriter of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" had his name on it, and he was ranked first.
Although it is only an adaptation, it has been adapted very successfully, and it is a very talented and imaginative adaptation.
Later, Yin Jun learned why Xu Ke would find Huang Ying to adapt the script, the reason is that Xu Ke's first famous movie "Butterfly Change" next year was adapted from Huang Ying's "Six Tales of Horror: Vampire Moth", with this fate, Xu Ke will write the script for Huang Ying, who has almost declined in 90 years, and it can be regarded as a return to him.
When Yin Jun looked at Huang Ying's information, he found that Huang Ying was not so simple.
In the 80s, he was one of Leigh's most famous screenwriters, and Leigh's ratings bully that was about to break through the sky - "Silkworm Transformation", which he wrote with others, and he participated in many other classic dramas.
In the film industry, Huang Ying is also very good, for example, "Mr. Zombie", which made Lin Zhengying famous, was written by him and another ghost talent, and since then, Huang Ying has begun to focus on the theme of ghosts and has become the "ghost king" in the Xiangjiang screenwriting industry.
It's a pity, maybe it's the wrong nickname, Huang Ying was later killed at home by the people of Gao Loan, because he borrowed a high-interest loan to shoot a zombie film, and was beaten to death at home.
Yin Jun doesn't know if he can help Huang Ying in the future and avoid him from "repeating the mistakes of the past", but from now on, Yin Jun can help him and let him change the trajectory of his life.
After a flash of thought, Yin Jun asked directly, "Brother Ying, I heard that you are very familiar with Mr. Gu Long?"
Huang Ying smiled and nodded: "Yes, I helped him write a few novels, and I also imitated his style and wrote the Shen Shengyi series, and the effect is not bad." When I showed it to him, Gu Long also praised me for being very spiritual, and the writing was a bit fake!"
He is only 22 years old this year, and he can write the Shen Shengyi series when he is in his twenties, which is really terrifying.
And people of this age are naturally very happy to be praised by everyone like Gu Long.
"I have a business here, and I want to talk to Gu Long, and I don't know him well, so I want to ask Brother Ying to be a middleman. Yin Jun said, "I like Mr. Gu Long's novels very much. Especially the four novels "Chu Liuxiang", "Xiao Li Flying Knife", "Peerless Double Pride" and "Lu Xiaofeng". As you know, I'm a screenwriter, so I wanted to adapt these four novels by Mr. Gu Long......"
"Yes!" Huang Ying agreed without thinking: "Gu Long, he has always wanted to sell film and television copyrights, and if you give him money like this, he will welcome it!"
After a pause, he said: "It's just that Gu Long's works are not very easy to adapt, and in Xiangjiang, there is no Jin Yong's best-selling, and the adaptation into a TV series is not as good as Jin Yong's TV series." ”
Yin Jun smiled slightly, thinking to himself, you can wait until I adapt "Chu Liuxiang", and then you will know.
Jin Yong's martial arts drama has been adapted many times, but it has never been compared to Zheng Shaoqiu's version of "Chu Liuxiang"!
"But the way I want to buy it may be a little different from others. Yin Jun said in a harmonious voice, "I want to pay 1 million to buy the exclusive film and television adaptation rights of the four novels "Chu Liuxiang", "Xiao Li Flying Knife", "Peerless Double Pride" and "Lu Xiaofeng" in Xiangjiang for 5 years. ”
"What are you...... What do you mean?" Huang Ying's mind couldn't turn for a while.
"Within 5 years, Mr. Gu Long authorized me the exclusive right to shoot these four films and televisions, and no one in Xiangjiang can shoot these four TV series and movies except me. Yin Jun said, "As long as Mr. Gu Long can agree to this, then 1 million is his." ”
"This ......"
It was the first time Huang Ying heard such a purchase request, and he couldn't help but groan.
To be honest, Yin Jun's idea of an exclusive buyout is really too self-contained, and he doesn't allow others to shoot it if he shoots, which is really domineering.
But if you think about it, Gu Long's novel adapted into a TV series is not very popular in Xiangjiang, his main market is still in Baodao, if he can sell the rights of Xiangjiang's four novels and TV movies, and get 1 million, Gu Long, who has always spent money, will definitely be moved.
The second point is that the time required by Yin Jun is only 5 years, and once 5 years have passed, the film and television shooting copyright will be Gu Long's again.
Yin Jun can shoot these four TV series well, and then the price of film and television licensing will rise in the future, making more money for Gu Long.
Even if the shooting is not good, it is nothing, Gu Long has already been 1 million in the bag, and there is no loss.
Moreover, this year, Gu Long has already sold the copyrights of these TV series once, and the wireless "Xiao Li Flying Knife", "Lu Xiaofeng's Battle of Wudang", and "Xiao Li Flying Knife: The Demon Sword Romance", these have all been broadcast or produced, which is equivalent to Gu Long selling the copyright again immediately afterwards, so making money is faster than selling the copyright on Treasure Island.
According to this idea, Gu Long should agree to it.
"Okay, it's just that I've been off for the past two days, and I'll go to Treasure Island tomorrow to see what he has to say. After thinking about it, Huang Ying said to Yin Jun, "I think your condition is good, and he is very likely to agree." But Jun Shao, are you really so confident?"
Yin Jun nodded.
Huang Ying saw that he was so sure, so naturally he wouldn't say more, Yin Jun's fame and strength in screenwriting were not comparable to him for a long time.
After the matter was discussed, Huang Ying felt a little hungry in his stomach, and unceremoniously picked up the chopsticks, and ate violently again.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Yin Jun said: "Brother Ying, speaking of which, your "Shen Shengyi Legend Series" has already started filming, right?"
Huang Ying was eating barbecued pork buns, and said with a wry smile: "Don't say it, I'm angry when I talk about this." Originally, in June, they were all talked about almost, but in July, suddenly because "Bao Qingtian" was born, the top and bottom of the beating were in a mess, so the matter was put on hold, and until now there is no letter, it is estimated that it is going to be yellow. ”
Yin Jun was stunned, no.
Speaking of the information in this previous life, in June, Zhang Guorong had already begun to record the theme song of "Hero Shen Shengyi", how did it get to Huang Ying's mouth, and he was still negotiating the adaptation copyright in June?
But Huang Ying had no reason to deceive Yin Jun.
Therefore, Yin Jun can only think that this is the butterfly effect, which has slightly changed the trajectory of "Hero Shen Shengyi".
Or is there an error in the information, after all, "The Hero Shen Shengyi" will not be broadcast until March next year, with the character of Xiangjiang people, how can a TV series be produced for 9 months, isn't this an international joke?
Anyway, it's a good opportunity to pick up the slack.
Yin Jun asked out loud: "Then Brother Ying, are you interested in selling film and television copyrights?"
Huang Ying's eyes lit up, and he quickly swallowed it in two bites, "You want to buy it?"
"If you haven't sold it yet, that's kind of interesting. Yin Jun smiled.
"That's a good dare!" Huang Ying became excited, "As long as you want it, the price is easy to say, but can you put it on the TV screen for me earlier?"
As mentioned earlier, Gu Long's own novels are not so popular in Xiangjiang, and the adaptation of the TV series is also good, and it is not a big hit, let alone Huang Ying's "The Legend of Shen Shengyi Series".
In fact, the sales of "Shen Shengyi Legend Series" in Baodao are also better than those in Xiangjiang.
Huang Ying doesn't care so much about money, otherwise he wouldn't have worked hard in the film and television industry for more than ten years, but he doesn't have much money on him, and he has to borrow loan sharks to make a small-scale zombie film, and in the end he ended up so miserable.
But he is relatively famous, if he can walk on the street and be praised after being recognized, it is a very big wish of his.
Li's gave him such an empty joy, which made Huang Ying complain so much, and now suddenly Yin Jun made a request for adaptation, this is really joy from the sky!
That's why he said that the money is good, but he just wants to put the work on the screen as soon as possible.
"There's no rush to this. Yin Jun said: "Brother Ying, after you come back from Treasure Island, I will discuss with you how to revise the script, some plots and plots that need to be on TV, I hope you can also accept my opinion......"
"No problem!"
Huang Ying also agreed without thinking about it, "I admire your ability in the TV series script, how do you say it when the time comes, how can I change it." ”
He worked very hard to put his work on the screen, even if it was a small screen.
Thinking of the ratings scene of the empty alleys of 10,000 people after "The Legend of Shen Shengyi Series" was adapted by Yin Jun, Huang Ying couldn't sit still.
They stood up suddenly, "Junshao, you eat slowly, I'll make a call first when I go back, and strive to go to Treasure Island today!"
"No hurry, no hurry. Yin Jun smiled dumbly, stopped him, and took out two stacks of big golden bulls from his satchel, "You don't have anything to find Gu Long, where is the sincerity? 200,000 is a deposit, please tell Mr. Gu Long that I bought the film and television adaptation rights of his book, it is definitely not speculation." I will let the Chinese people all over the world know that in the world, there is not only one novel written by Jin Yong that is good to make into a TV series, but there is also a peak that others cannot surpass, that is, Mr. Gu Long's works!"
"Good!"
Huang Ying is also a straightforward person, putting the money in his clothes bag, "Jun Shao, don't say anything else, just by virtue of your words, I guess Gu Long will have to agree! He's a person, face is more important than anything else! His martial arts book can't open the situation in film and television for a long time, and he is also unhappy, now with the promise of you, the world's number one gold screenwriter, then what else does he have to hesitate?"
"I hope so, thank you for your hard work, Brother Eagle!" Yin Jun said with a smile.
"You're welcome, but when I come back, you must discuss with me about Shen Shengyi's adaptation!" Huang Ying said in his mind.
"Definitely!"
Yin Jun replied with a straight face. (To be continued.) )
