Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 221 Gossip
In the early morning, the sun shines in through the east window, and is screened by the hollow fine-hole grid screen window into a light yellow color, which shines on the right side of Concubine Liu Yi's face.

She squinted slightly, lying on the pillow, enjoying the sometimes strong and sometimes weak comfort on her lower back.

During these three days, Liu Xiaoli massaged her daughter every day, hoping her daughter's body would recover quickly.

"Mom, it doesn't hurt anymore." Concubine Liu Yi felt the comfort of her body and told her mother the feeling.

Hanging Wia once and resting for three days made her realize the power of Wia. When she woke up that day, her whole body was sore and it was difficult to get out of bed.

Fortunately, there is a boyfriend who is with her, who goes to the room to play or tell jokes with her every day, so that she is no longer bored.

I almost recovered today, and the doctor just came to check and passed, and I can finally film again in the afternoon.

She really wanted to speed up the filming process, she, the little dragon girl, hadn't officially acted with Chu Xuan's Yang Guo yet.

She is looking forward to this very much, hoping that the scene will come soon.

"Press it again." Liu Xiaoli said softly, she was not tired after pressing it for half an hour.

"You ask Brother Xuan to press it for me." Concubine Liu Yi suggested that her mother must be tired after pressing it for so long.

"Your brother Xuan is downstairs talking to your sister Hua." Liu Xiaoli smiled lightly, her massage hands didn't stop, she caressed her daughter's back meticulously.

"Sister Hua is here?!" Concubine Liu Yi was startled, a little surprised by her mother's words.

"Well, I just came here not long ago." Liu Xiaoli nodded.

--Small courtyard.

There is a wooden chair on each side of the wooden table, and Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua are sitting leisurely.

There is a purple clay pot on the table, with a small purple clay cup on each side, the two people are very comfortable.

"It's really comfortable for you guys. I'm exhausted at the company alone." Wang Jinhua admired the small building in front of her. The cool breeze in April made her look happy and feel comfortable.

The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth were slightly raised, and he picked up the purple sand pot and poured a cup of tea into two small cups, one in front and one in back.

Sister Hua has been busy in the company for nearly half a year, and most of the days she goes home in the early morning, and has been busy with the company's affairs.

Since her contract with Huayi expired last month, endorsements and announcements have resumed, and the resources exchanged by "The Legend of Condor Heroes" have been in place, and Hu Jun, Li Kuang and others have also begun to get busy.

The company is up and running.

The filming location of "Sculpture of the Gods" is in a scenic spot, and Sister Hua also took time out to travel to relax and relieve her busy state.

"Come with us to the studio in the afternoon and ask Tian Zhen to take you for a stroll. The scenery here is nice, and the weather is not too hot or cold, so it's suitable for walking around." Chu Xuan put down the purple sand pot.

The corners of Wang Jinhua's eyes raised slightly, she picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea, said: "The purpose of coming here to relax, but there is still one thing I need to discuss with you."

Chu Xuan took a sip of tea slowly, put down the teacup on the bamboo table, put his left hand on the armrest of the chair, turned to face Wang Jinhua, and listened to the following.

"Last month, I invited two teachers from the Huaguo Writers Association, two publishing and editing teachers from Xinhua Publishing House, plus seven team members of mine, to visit the United States." Wang Jinhua and Chu Xuan looked at each other.

Before coming to the production team of "Sculpture of the Gods", Chu Xuan mentioned two novels to her, which she always kept in mind.

After allocating the company's resources, she immediately formed a temporary team and set off to the United States to inquire about news.

Borrowing Huaying Group's contacts in Hollywood, her team quickly got in touch with the publishers and authors of the two novels.

"How is it?" Chu Xuan became interested.

"In January this year, "Twilight Saga" was only published. This is a new book. Its sales volume is dispensable now, and it is not discovered by the film and television companies. Our people came into contact with the original author, although we feel strange that we are Chinese. , but it does not exclude our intention to purchase the film and television adaptation rights of this novel." Wang Jinhua said truthfully, and told Chu Xuan one by one the news from the company team.

"That's a good thing." Chu Xuan smiled.

Seeing Chu Xuan's slightly happy look, Wang Jinhua shook his head.

"I flipped through this book roughly. Youth, campus, love, magic, race, action, there are too many elements in the collection, and the adaptation is too difficult. Whether the adaptation can be successful is one thing. Fire is another matter," she analyzed.

"Sister, trust my vision." Chu Xuan didn't say much.

"If I don't believe you, I will ask the team to investigate?" Wang Jinhua smiled, took a drink from the teacup and then put it down.

The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth lightly lifted, and he picked up the purple sand pot to fill Wang Jinhua's teacup. A little water splashed out, splashed on the table, and flowed into the cracks in the bamboo slices.

"The novel "Twilight" was boycotted in Europe. For some reason, they believed that this book should not be published and asked to take it off the shelves. Although the source of publication of this book is in the United States, the pressure from the original author is also very strong. Great. The original author recommended this book to American entertainment companies, but they were all rejected.” Wang Jinhua talked eloquently, talking about the news brought by the team.

Chu Xuan nodded, picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"If we want to buy the film and television adaptation rights, it is not difficult. Within 50 US dollars, we should be able to win the global copyright. But this author also has a sequel to "Twilight". If we want to win this novel, Then we have to win all of them, so we need to discuss the priority purchase of adaptation rights in the future." Wang Jinhua is very clear about such things.

The sequel of a TV series can continue to spark a wave of enthusiasm, let alone a movie.

If the first episode of a movie goes viral, there's a good chance that the second episode will be too.

Therefore, if you want to buy the right to adapt novels and films, you must either not buy it, or buy the whole set, so as not to be stuck by other companies.

"What's the situation of "Game of Thrones"?" Chu Xuan already understood the situation of "Twilight Saga" and was quite satisfied.What Sister Hua said is not difficult, which means that Sister Hua has the confidence and plan to buy the film and television adaptation rights of "Twilight", so he doesn't need to worry too much, so he asked about the situation of another novel.

""Game of Thrones" is a bit difficult. This novel was published in 1996, nearly ten years ago, and its sales volume is also in the middle class worldwide. The most important thing is that a company in the United States has bought the option for film and television adaptation. "Wang Jinhua said softly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"I only bought options, which means that this company is not sure to make this novel a perfect film and television." Chu Xuan pondered.

An option is a limited-time copyright, such as a one-year option, which only has a one-year adaptation period, and it is invalid when it expires.

The company that purchased the option copyright either lacked funds, or had doubts about the novel, and was not sure about the profitability of the novel after it was turned into a film and television.

If the funds are sufficient and you are sure that the novel will be profitable, you will basically buy the right to adapt it for a permanent film and television period.

"This is natural. The novel "Game of Thrones" requires a lot of special effects, and the world's top special effects technology may not be able to meet the requirements. Even if it does, the cost will be very high. In the current global film and television market Let’s see, whoever adapts this film and television drama will lose, but it may be another matter when the technology improves in the future.” Wang Jinhua has a relatively thorough understanding of the global film and television market, and her analysis is penetrating.

Chu Xuan was silent for a while, took a sip of tea from his teacup, and thought for a while.

"It would be great if we can win "Twilight", but it's fine if we can't win "Game of Thrones". In the future, the company will let go of its hands and feet, and invite some scholars from Peking University and Tsinghua University and top domestic screenwriters to jointly create a grand background and group portrait. A script with a three-dimensional, clear and complex story line is no worse than "Game of Thrones." He said lightly.

"It's not necessarily impossible to take it down." Wang Jinhua said with a low eyebrow.

Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows and turned to look at her.

"George Martin, the author of "Game of Thrones", doesn't want his work to be completely commercialized. He hopes to keep the artistry. Regarding this point, we can talk to him. This is the first point." Wang Jinhua raised a finger.

"Second point, if this novel is to be adapted, I estimate that it will take at least ten years after the development of special effects technology and the development of the global market. Then, we can spend money, depending on whether the American company is willing to Money, if you are willing to bet that "Game of Thrones" will be popular in ten years." Wang Jinhua used her own understanding of the market to predict the future.

"However, you have to give me more confidence. Do you really like the novel "Game of Thrones"?" Wang Jinhua and Chu Xuan looked at each other.

"It's like betting that "Super Girl" will be popular, it's all based on the sixth sense." Chu Xuan smiled.

Hearing this, Wang Jinhua lowered her eyebrows in thought, and subconsciously tapped the bamboo slices on the table with her right index finger.

"Okay, I see." She thought for a while, and finally the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"Sister Hua!" A voice suddenly came from the room, Concubine Liu Yi came out from the room, her pace was not hurried, it seemed that her body hadn't fully recovered, and there was still some soreness.

"Qiqian." Wang Jinhua got up to meet her, and hugged Concubine Liu Yi, "Are you injured? Are you alright?"

"It's almost fine." Concubine Liu Yi and Wang Jinhua separated.

"Your boyfriend is not good, it hurts you, you should be criticized." Wang Jinhua teased.

Concubine Liu Yi looked at Chu Xuan through the gap above Wang Jinhua's left shoulder, and she stroked her hair: "It has nothing to do with him, it's my own carelessness about Wia."

Wang Jinhua "tsk tsk" twice, slightly joking.

Concubine Liu Yi pursed her lips and smiled, took the black coat handed by her mother and put it on.

"Going to play on the set?" Liu Xiaoli looked at Wang Jinhua.

"Let's go and play." Wang Jinhua said with a smile.

Chu Xuan got up from the chair, with a blue denim jacket hanging on his shoulders, and after joining Concubine Liu Yi, he took a few glances at her.

"What's your look?" Concubine Liu Yi blinked, stretched out her left index finger and poked Chu Xuan's arm.

"See if you're alright." Chu Xuan said kindly.

Concubine Liu Yi put her left hand on Chu Xuan's right shoulder and said as she walked, "What if it doesn't work?"

With the thumb of Chu Xuan's left hand, he pointed to the small building behind his left shoulder: "Go back for me."

Concubine Liu Yi frowned, and walked out of the courtyard with Chu Xuan.

Everyone got into the car and headed towards the Yandang Mountain studio.

　The next two episodes need major changes in the plot, and they will be released in the afternoon, sorry.
