Chapter 233

The happy twist team did a good job.

In the days when the drama market is shrinking day by day, they can still have a solid supporter.

In 03, they quickly became popular with "Want to Eat Twist for You", performed more than 40 consecutive performances, and were sought after by the audience.

Now that they are not popular enough to go out of the circle, it is a great time to establish cooperation.

As soon as Ji Yun came back from the northeast, he dragged Ning Hao and Wen Dong to the headquarters of Happy Twist Yanjing.

Wen Dong came to make a good show, and Ning Hao came to build relationships.

Happy Twist and Ning Hao had cooperated before, and the copyright of the drama version of "Crazy Stone" was handed over to them.

The industry's reviews are very good, and some people even think that the drama version surpasses the movie version.

Once seated, founder Zhang Chen warmly shook hands one by one.

"Boss Ji, hello, I've heard you famous for a long time."

"Hello."

Zhang Chen looked at the posture of the three of them, "I heard that your company wants to cooperate with us? I don't know where it is?"

"Adapt your stage play into a film, and let's talk about adaptation rights."

Wen Dong acted a little domineering, after all, they are now the strong side.

The cake on the drama stage is too small to support the size of a company.

In Yanjing alone, there are repertory troupes such as Mandarin, Renyi and Eryi, and there are countless private ones.

If they want to stand out among these troupes, they need a new carrier to break through the circle and create momentum.

Now they are doing well, and they have released several popular scripts, but they are still not comparable to the old brands like Guohua.

To put it bluntly, if Zhang Chen is dissatisfied with the status quo and wants to go further, Ji Yun will be their savior.

Zhang Chen rubbed his hands, "I've also had contact with other companies about this matter, but the adaptation of a drama into a movie requires a huge revision of the script, which may run counter to our original screenwriter's ideas."

He spoke very implicitly, but Ji Yun could still understand what he meant.

Just because they are afraid that they will smash it.

After all, they also have directors and the ability to change careers, it's just a matter of time.

If the copyright is handed over now, and then people smash it, it will be difficult for them to pick it up again.

Ji Yun smiled softly: "Boss Zhang, don't worry, we have enough shooting experience. The movies produced by our company can't be said to be industry-leading, but they can be regarded as small successes in terms of box office and word of mouth."

Zhang Chen nodded silently, there really wasn't any blockbuster movies in Ji Yun Studio.

Wen Dong was not willing to be lonely, and played doubles with Ji Yun, "If our company can't make it, then other companies in the industry can't do it either."

"Yes yes yes." Zhang Chenying nodded in agreement.

If Ji Yun and Wen Dong are red-faced and white-faced, then Ning Hao is completely muddy.

"Mr. Zhang, let me tell you a fair word. Although there are not many good people in our company, we are good at pursuing art."

After hearing Ning Hao's speech, Zhang Chen showed a loose look.

He hesitated and said, "Then which one are you going to make? "Want to Eat Twist for You", "Sweet and Salty Match" or "The Earl of Wulong Mountain"?"

"The Richest Man in Xihong City"

Zhang Chen was taken aback, "Boss Ji is well-informed."

This book was freshly released, and even the name had just been decided upon. Unexpectedly, Ji Yun had already gotten the news.

Ji Yun showed an inscrutable smile.

Nonsense, this is what I instigated.

When Ning Hao sold the adaptation rights back then, Ji Yun gave Ning Hao a lesson, asking him to describe to Yan Fei more about the grand vision of the film market, and to brag about the movie "Brewster's Millions" so that they could With the idea of ​​drafting a movie script.

When you finish writing, I will play the side drum for Ji Yun and ask him to pay for the right to adapt the original work, and then film the story.

This undoubtedly made the two of them very motivated. After thinking about it for more than a year, this book came out ahead of schedule.

After all, the framework is there, and all that is left is to stuff jokes into it.

"Boss Ji wants to make this film, so let's negotiate the price."

Ji Yun winked at Wen Dong silently, and it's time for you to play.

Wen Dong nodded, "What does Boss Zhang want to talk about?"

Zhang Chen smiled: "I've read this book, and there are a lot of jokes, even better than our masterpiece "Want to Eat Twist for You". It must be a masterpiece in the comedy market."

Wen Dong chuckled, "Not necessarily, Boss Zhang. As far as I know, Yan Fei and Peng Damo who wrote this book are actors. They have no experience in screenwriting. How can you guarantee it?"

"Director Ning should understand this question. The drama version of "Crazy Stone" was written and adapted by Peng Damo."

"Oh!" Wen Dong nodded, "According to this, the drama version of Crazy Stone has surpassed the original work, right?"

Zhang Chen looked at Ning Hao, and said awkwardly: "That must not be the case."

He really wanted to say the words surpassing the original, but Ning Hao himself was still at the scene, didn't he slap him in the face when he said that?
"It means that Peng Damo's screenwriting skills can't catch up with Yue Xiaojun, the screenwriter of the original work?"

Zhang Chen nodded hesitantly, he had already fallen into Wen Dong's trap when he made a mistake in one sentence, he could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, waiting quietly for the other party to make a move.

The corner of Wen Dong's mouth twitched, "Did you know that Yue Xiaojun recently wrote another book "Crazy Wedding"?"

"know."

"How's the box office reputation?"

"Not too satisfactory." Zhang Chen gritted his teeth and said.

"That is to say, the same screenwriter can produce different effects in the hands of different directors, right?"

"Correct!"

Wen Dong is very good at speaking, every word he says is the truth, but when weaving it together, it doesn't make any sense.

As someone said, the 02 World Cup national football team lost only one game to the champion Brazil that year.

Those who don’t know think that the national football team sits second and second.
The same is true for Wen Dong's words. They are all true when taken individually, but when they are combined together, it is purely to fool Zhang Chen into lameness.

"Then how can you say that if the book is good, you will be able to shoot well?"

"Then look"

"Well, let's make an equivalent exchange."

Zhang Chen said: "What exchange?"

"Our company has made a new movie called "The Piano of Steel", which has invested 4000 million yuan, and the quality is absolutely high. We exchanged the right to adapt the drama of "The Piano of Steel" for the filming rights of "The Richest Man in Xihong City". "

"This"

Seeing Zhang Chen hesitate, Ji Yun no longer hides himself, and immediately picks up the quarrel.

"Wen Dong! How can you make a decision on your own? This movie is our next year's masterpiece, and we can rely on this movie to achieve results! The company has already decided to sell the drama adaptation rights to the country at a price of 300 million. By the way, do you know how much effort Wan Qian has put into it?"

Seeing Ji Yun blowing his beard and staring at his eyes, Zhang Chen immediately dispelled his worries.

"Boss Ji, let's get rid of your anger, isn't it good to make money! Let's establish a long-term cooperation first, and we can communicate with each other if we have any resources. After all, the national dialect is the national industry. It is not as free as us, why don't you think about it?"

Wen Dong bit his lip and put away the smirk on his face: "Yes, boss, I don't know the resources for this one in exchange for investment. If there is any good book in the future, they will still give priority to us. We and Kaixin Twist is a newly emerging company, so it’s even more necessary to hold together to keep warm.”

Ji Yun calmed down, still panting heavily.

Ning Hao couldn't see it, and coughed vaguely.

Dude, it's over.

If your performance appears in my movie, I will definitely NG it.

"Oh, okay!"

Ji Yun nodded helplessly.
