rewrite life

After the Olek Awards Ceremony, Tang Shi felt as if a bulging balloon had been punctured by a needle, and he had no desire to act for a while.It seemed that all the energy and energy were consumed in the role of the overseas Chinese student, so much so that Tang Shi couldn't get up the energy to take on the new script after the film was finished for more than two years.

However, Tang Shi has not been idle for more than a year.Apart from being an honest student at Capital University, Tang Shi still picks up his old profession in his spare time—he started writing online novels again.

This time, Tang Shi conceived a fantasy adventure novel with an urban theme, based on "Shan Hai Jing" and ancient myths and legends, and it was about a travel activity initiated by a novelist who was curious about ancient myths and legends on the Internet. In the movie, I followed a few people I didn't know before and formed a group to explore Kunlun Mountain.

As far as the subject matter itself is concerned, this unpopular urban fantasy novel is not a popular subject on the Internet where crossing the rebirth stream is very popular nowadays, and in view of Tang Shi's usual delay in updating, everyone will not be concerned about the update frequency of this novel Excessive expectations... According to common sense, such novels should not be very popular on the Internet.Even if someone really likes it, it probably attracts some fans who are particularly passionate about this kind of subject matter within a small audience...

However, there are exceptions to everything.For other online novelists, what they write may be particularly important, but when it comes to Tang Shi... Maybe who writes it is more concerned than the first two questions.

What's more, Tang Shi had nearly five years of professional writing experience in his previous life. For ordinary people, maybe five years is not a very long time.But for a writer, who can persist in five years of full-time updates... His writing style and plot concept should also be able to withstand the test of the public.

So when Tang Shi's new book was released and uploaded, it didn't take long before it immediately attracted the attention of fans. Soon, like the theme that led the "ancient time travel" back then, it set off an upsurge of urban fantasy on the Internet— —

Tang Shi's update speed is really too slow. He is busy studying, taking exams, and preparing for admission to an Ivy League university on weekdays. In addition, writing an article requires time-consuming research, planning plots, etc... ...So Tang Shi's can only guarantee three or four updates every week.Each update is about [-] words... Although the plot is ups and downs, it is eye-catching.But because of this, there are a lot of people who are itchy when the update is interrupted.

So when it was difficult to restrain, some netizens began to "reliant and self-reliant", so when Tang Shi's novel was only written about one-third of the time, he was surprised to find that the novels on the Internet were similar to the urban fantasy adventure genre. Like pear blossoms that have gone through the cold winter, they suddenly bloom all over the place overnight...

This made Tang Shi, while continuing to insist on fast updates, also spontaneously raised another kind of secret complacency of "I started the trend" from the bottom of his heart.

For the outside entertainment media and film and television companies who have been paying attention to Tang Shi, the popularity and popularity of this novel on the Internet actually means another form of "money is rolling in".So within less than a month after the new article was launched, Tang Shi's studio and website itself received calls from countless film and television companies, requesting to purchase or obtain the film and television copyright of this novel in the form of equity participation.If possible, I hope to have a personal discussion with Tang Shi, so that Tang Shi can act as the protagonist of his own novel—just like "Strategy of the Prosperous Tang Dynasty", which created a ratings myth during the popular broadcast period.

At the same time, because Tang Shi won the Best Actor Award from Olek, not only the domestic film and television companies came to discuss cooperation this time, but even several famous film companies in Bad Funwood are very interested in this novel and Tang Shi. Shi himself expressed very high expectations.

And for Tang Shi, who has been immersed in this situation for nearly two years... it is actually a bit touching.He is not like Lu Hengzhi, who only wants to study hard, and then he will be admitted to a business school of an Ivy League university when he graduates from undergraduate, and he will not use all his spare time to enter Lu's company for in-depth investigation, and then with the help of Lu's father Next, accept Lu's overall work as quickly as possible.

For Tang Shi, he was gifted and intelligent since he was a child, and he learned everything quickly, so his habit of playing tricks made it difficult for him to concentrate for a long time to deal with one thing.Tang Shi is more used to doing several things at the same time, or after concentrating on doing one thing, then rest for a period of time to ensure that his life is comfortable and leisurely.

In Tang Shi's opinion, enjoying life is always more important than working hard.

So after being silent for nearly two years, Tang Shi finally picked up his love for acting under the temptation of the outside world.

He is going to adapt the novel he is writing into a script as those film and television companies said, and then play the leading role himself - of course, Tang Shi will never forget Lu Hengzhi as a good partner when encountering such things that interest him.Therefore, after being persuaded by Tang Shi's rhetoric and even "practice", Lu Hengzhi, who is immersed in his endless learning, finally temporarily put down his heavy textbooks and agreed to play the role of the most important male supporting role in the novel.

Considering the investment cost of the film and the special effects in the later stage, Tang Shi finally chose his old partner, Huanyu Film and Television Company of Bad Quwu, among many film and television companies.And the director Huanyu chose for this play is also someone Tang Shi is familiar with - the famous commercial director of bad fun, Smith King, the director of the "Black Man" series.For Smith King and Tang Shi, this is the second cooperation between the two parties, but it is also the first formal cooperation between the two parties.

After the news of the cooperation between the two parties spread, there was a lot of discussion in the outside media.Everyone is guessing what kind of visual feast this powerful alliance will eventually bring to Bad Funwood and even world movies.Of course, there are also newspapers who have made popular science gossip from point to point, from Tang Shi and Smith King's initial duel and final cooperation.

In any case, the external media are generally optimistic about the cooperation between the two parties.Affected by this news, the publication of Tang Shi's current "Mountain and Sea Romance" is also on the rise—at least the global sales are still considerable.

For Tang Shi, it doesn't really matter whether the outside world is optimistic or not.There are three issues that Tang Shi really cares about——

-Although he finally chose to cooperate with a big company in Bad Funwood because of the investment cost and special effects.However, the plot development of the entire film has determined that the film will eventually be filmed in China.Therefore, the support of various attractions is very important.Of course, the public relations staff of Sugar Juice Studio will be responsible for this, so Tang Shi doesn't need to worry.What Tang Shi has to consider is whether Director Smith, who grew up in a Western country, can understand the ancient myths of Huaguo during the filming process, and whether he can shoot the plot with strong Huaguo elements that Tang Shi needs. .He didn't want to end up with a nondescript image after the filming was finished.

So on this point, Tang Shi is very persistent and hopes that Director Smith can go to the Kunlun Mountains of Huaguo to collect scenery and learn about the ancient legends of Huaguo before actually shooting the movie, and talk to the old professor of Huaguo who has researched in this area Old experts learn something.At least, we must have a deep understanding of what the "beasts" appearing in the film represent.

For Tang Shi's proposal, Director Smith, who has always been very serious about his work, fully agrees.certainly.Director Smith's old partner--Assistant Director Mike, who is extremely repulsive to Huaguo and even Huaguo people, is not very cold about this.He complained to Director Smith in distaste, and in the end he followed Director Smith and Tang Shilu Hengzhi to Kunlun Mountain.All kinds of provoking troubles during the period... Tang Shi said that he has a magnanimous mind and can ignore it.

After the first problem was solved, everyone had a dispute over the special effects in the later stage of shooting.Tang Shi, who is familiar with the future development of film and television, understands the impact of special effects such as imax-3d on the future film industry.Although Lu Hengzhi was not born again, his keen business sense and vision also allowed him to see the development potential of this technology and the development "money scene".So after the combination of the two, they insisted that after the pre-shooting of this movie was completed, the special effects part of the post-production should use imax-3d technology.

But for producers and investment companies, they are not very optimistic about this technology that has not yet been fully formed and applied to the market.For them, such a choice means that investment companies and producers have to bear great risks.You must know that not everyone who is brave enough to try for the first time will get rich rewards. The first person to eat crab will find it delicious, and the first person to drink dichlorvos will definitely be poisoned to death.

As a result, the two parties were at loggerheads.Tang Shi, Lu Hengzhi and the Bad Quwu studio represented by them, under the leadership of Mr. Scottwood, tried their best to convince Huanyu Company and investors, because the development of Bad Quwu in recent years has proved that the trend of future movies It must be technology and special effects, so Tang Shi's persistence is worth trying.Moreover, if they choose to be the first to use imax-3d technology to produce post-production special effects, then once the news spreads, it will also be a very good publicity point for the movie, which will definitely attract more people's attention.

But for Huanyu Company and investors—if they can spend less money, take fewer risks, and safely put the money they can earn in their pockets, these things are more exciting than what Tang Shi said. The heart-pounding future portrayal is more important.Therefore, Huanyu Company and investors are also trying their best to persuade Tang Shi to give up his original idea of ​​burning money and follow their advice.

Only Director Smith himself and his team were very interested in Tang Shi's plan, and even asked about the technology in private, regardless of his employer's insistence.

And just at this time, Twentieth Century, another established film company in Bad Quwu, heard about the confrontation between Tang Shi and Huanyu through some channels.After carefully listening to the private gossip about the proposals of both parties, Twentieth Century felt that Tang Shi's proposal was very suitable for them.Therefore, regardless of the previous memorandum signed by Sugar Juice Studio and Huanyu in the [-]th Century (due to various disputes, the two parties have not signed a formal contract, only signed a script and an investment of [-] million US dollars by Sugar Juice Studio, Huanyu Company and investors The initial memorandum of co-investment of [-] million US dollars), abruptly stepped in, and expressed their interest in the new proposal to Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi.Straight to the point, Tang Shi was invited to cooperate.

As for Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi, the stalemate with Huanyu made them both feel a little headache.Now Twentieth Century is willing to take the initiative to break the deadlock, regardless of whether the final cooperation can be successful... This gesture is still welcome.

So now, it's Huanyu Films' turn to have a headache.
