When the director became popular in the entertainment industry

It's all about making complaints, but there must be something bright about a novel that can be pushed to him by two screenwriters at the same time.But he was also a little puzzled, why him?

Could it be that this novel is some kind of hidden gem, and the copyright has not been sold yet, and I want him to miss it?

Bai Congzhen asked Guan Jingzhou, and then fell silent when he saw a long message from the other party.

[Staying up late champion: No, you think too much.There have been many people who have tried to buy the rights to this book, but none of them have been negotiated.Because the necessary condition for the author to sell the copyright is to want to be a screenwriter himself.Big companies were unwilling, and small workshops were rejected if they couldn't produce good dramas.That's why I want to send it to you, let you see if it's worth taking pictures. ]

[Champion of staying up late: Don’t you just read the script when you’re filming, okay? Do you like it or not?You will definitely not modify the script against the original intention of the author. A director like you is the type that all screenwriters dream of.Look good, come on. ]

The implication is to believe that if he really takes a fancy to this novel, he will definitely agree to the author's request.

Seeing this, Bai Congzhen didn't want to ask Tong Yisheng why, he didn't even know when he left this impression in the screenwriter's mind.

Isn't it natural to respect the script and the original content?

Although some content is indeed a bit wrong, but since you decide to buy the copyright of a novel, you must be optimistic about that story.If in the end you change the story so much that your mother doesn't even know it, what are you trying to do, spend money to buy a name?

Bai Congzhen sighed.It reminded me of a director's party he was invited to attend shortly after the filming of "Jewel and Jade Grocery Store".

It was a rather unpleasant experience for him at that party.

He thought that the meeting of directors in the circle is to drink tea and eat, discuss filming difficulties and joke about interesting things in filming, hello, me, hello, everyone, let's make progress together and create a better future for the film and television industry.

As a result, the one he went to not only didn't talk about these things, but even called out the wine companions.

Some people tried to preach to him, talking about the "disadvantages" that Zhuyu's drama does not meet the current market, and how to "teach" TV dramas how to make money faster.Bai Congzhen barely sat there for more than ten minutes, and finally couldn't take it anymore and left.

Since then, he has been indifferent to some gatherings in the circle, and escaped whenever he could.

Although this would make him miss many opportunities to expand his network, Bai Congzhen felt that he was happier not knowing those people.And as long as you can make good film and television works, don't you worry about not having the opportunity to meet famous directors and seniors?

Taking back his wandering thoughts, Bai Congzhen still clicked on the link, wanting to see what kind of novel this is.

The video conference was finally over, Lou Hean tidied up his desk and got up to look for Bai Congzhen.

On the plain sofa in the living room, Bai Congzhen frowned and looked at the phone carefully, the subtle footsteps did not attract his attention.Lou He'an stood by and watched for a while, then smiled and walked to the entrance, took the postcards and pens he bought earlier, and went to the dining table.

Today's postcard hadn't arrived in time to write, but he was called to a meeting by a phone call.

Looking at the ocean and whale patterns on the front of the postcard, he pondered for a moment, and Lou He raised his pen with a smile on his eyes.

"Yesterday's grilled fish was delicious. It reminds me of the time when you were at the beach during the summer vacation of your junior year. You confidently said that you wanted to grill fish by yourself, but you were scared by the fish and fell into the swimming pool. Time flies, Xiaozhen. Never been intimidated."

Bai Congzhen didn't know when he came over, lying on the back of the chair, he read out the words on the postcard word by word.After saying the last word, he stretched his arms around Lou He'an's shoulders, shook slightly and said dissatisfiedly, "Baby, how could you do this."

"I wasn't scared by the fish! That's because the fish can still move after being processed. I was shocked by my unpreparedness. My feet are slippery! I fell into the swimming pool because of slippery feet, okay? How can you slander me. "

It was an embarrassing incident many years ago, how could Lou He'an still remember it so clearly.

Letting Bai Congzhen shake, Lou Hean curled his lips and did not speak.In the middle of writing just now, he heard Bai Congzhen coming over. He knew how the other party would react, but he continued to write.

Bai Congzhen went around to Lou Hean and reached for the postcard, "Today's one doesn't count, baby, you can write it again."

"No." Lou Hean picked up the postcard and pulled Bai Congzhen to sit on his lap, trying to change the subject: "What were you looking at just now?"

The expression doesn't look good.

Asking Lou Hean to rewrite it was just a joke.Bai Congzhen pretended to grab it, but gave up when he didn't get it.Hearing Lou He'an's question, he thought for a while and replied: "Cousin and Teacher Tong pushed me a novel."

"new job?"

"Still considering."

Bai Congzhen leaned on Lou He'an's shoulder, and his tone lost the cheerfulness just now: "If we want to make a film, the story will be stronger when it is made into a movie. It's just a literary film for the first time. If the box office hits the market, I will be caught What about ridicule?"

"Chasing the Murderer" is about to go online, and Bai Congzhen can guarantee the popularity of this work after it airs.As his follow-up work, if the movie box office hits the market, he will really be ridiculed and look ugly.

Especially when he has two hit TV series, it will be an extremely tragic contrast when the movie hits the street.He can predict what the Internet will say about him.

"Isn't it good to be honest and make TV dramas?"

"You're really not suitable for making movies."

"Don't touch if you are not capable enough."

……

For the first time, Bai Congzhen felt a little worried.

Lou Hean combed Bai Congzhen's hair with his fingers, instead of answering his question, he asked, "Is the novel wonderful?"

"Wonderful."

"Do you know anything about filmmaking?"

"Of course!"

"Then what are you afraid of?"

"..."

Bai Congzhen paused.

Lou He'an pulled out her finger to comb her hair, and rubbed it on Bai Congzhen's head, her voice was gentle and full of inexplicable power: "You have already mastered half of the secret of a movie's success. We don't lack money, as long as we choose Good actor, what are you afraid of?"

Oh yes.

He makes movies because he likes them, and he wants to make good stories and good works.Even if domestic literary films don't sell well, so what, as long as the content of his films is excellent?Fame and money are all add-ons, even if he doesn't make money, he can still make the movie have a good reputation.

Also, the setting of the novel is modern.A modern movie can save a lot of money compared to other types of movies. It is not easy to attract investment, so you don't have to worry about money.Even if he really went to the street, he can still afford this little money.

Bai Congzhen sat up straight, held Lou Hean's cheek and kissed the tip of his nose.

"Wake up the dreamer with one word, reward."

After solving their troubles, the two went to the beach to play while the afternoon sun was not so harsh.

Bai Congzhen's little worry before had all disappeared, replaced by a rekindled good mood.Recalling his state in the afternoon, he found that it could be compared with prenatal anxiety.

Hearing Bai Congzhen's comparison, Lou He'an's eyelashes trembled: "...prenatal?"

"Ah?" Bai Congzhen stopped running towards the beach, and turned around in doubt, "Isn't this all the anxiety caused by fear or panic about the unknown things that are about to happen? Cubs are not much different."

Bai Congzhen waved his hands casually and ran away, Lou Hean stood on the spot and shook his head slightly, followed helplessly.

Faced with some whims of his lover, he can only be helpless and funny.

After spending a week abroad, Bai Congzhen and Lou He'an returned home with unfinished business, continuing their respective jobs.

Due to the subject matter, the review of "Chasing the Murderer" was slow.But as soon as the review was passed, the major video sites came looking for it.Bai Congzhen handed over the matter of selling the broadcasting rights to Su Yaya, and he didn't take care of it after he said his request.

After a round of competition, Mist TV bought the exclusive broadcasting rights at a high price, and made the drama the main promotion of the platform. After the announcement of the broadcast time, the website opened for a few days with posters of "Chasing the Murderer".

Moreover, when signing the contract, Su Yaya responded to Bai Congzhen's request and reached a somewhat strange agreement with the other party.

That is, before and after the show starts, there should not be too much marketing.

The same is true for hot searches, you don’t need to buy a drama title and hang it on the hot searches every day, just look at the real-time data, see which ones are highly discussed and add fire to which ones.In this way, not only will it not annoy ordinary passers-by, but it will also be more interesting.

When the person in charge of Mist TV heard this request, he immediately understood that it was because the director was full of confidence in his drama.What kind of self-confidence is this, to guarantee that one's drama can attract more viewers without buying trending searches, even fearing that frequent trending searches will make people bored?

And the tap water is good, not only can it fully reflect the excellence of the drama, but it can even save them some publicity expenses.Looking at the transaction price of the exclusive rights, the person in charge of Misty TV is still a little bit pained.

Su Yaya and the people in the studio were busy with the promotion of "Chasing the Murderer", and Bai Congzhen was busy with meeting the author of the novel.

Still in the tea room in Beijing, the quiet and private environment is just right for talking about work.

Bai Congzhen sat in front of the tea table and met the young man opposite him.

"Hi, I'm Bai Congzhen."

"Hello, director, my name is Tang Yuan."

Tang Yuan quickly reached out and took Bai Congzhen's outstretched hand.Not only has he heard of the director's name long ago, he is also a loyal fan of the other party.Unexpectedly, he met the male god so suddenly, Tang Yuan was very nervous for a while.

"Don't be nervous." Bai Congzhen smiled and comforted him, and poured tea for Tang Yuan.

Although the name Tang Yuan sounds soft and cute, this person is not cute.On the contrary, it was a somewhat thin, pale-skinned young man with glasses, and a handsome and somewhat shy young man.

Pushing his glasses, Tang Yuan was a little embarrassed and said: "I'm a little excited. Director, I've been paying attention to you since you were filming variety shows. I especially like your filming and your acting style. I admire you very much."

I didn't expect the author to be his own fan.Bai Cong was secretly proud from the bottom of his heart, but his expression remained the same, still full of warmth.

"Thank you for your likes. But since you follow me, you should know that I like to speak straight."

Seeing Tang Yuan nodding, Bai Congzhen continued: "We met this time because of your novel "Blind Mind". As the original author, if you have any requirements, please speak first."

"Take your time, don't rush."
