Chapter 0288: Business Mutual Blow

“Hello, Mr. Ma, I’m really sorry, I have to let you go to the film and television city.” Wang Tao smiled and greeted Mr. Ma who was standing at the door of the private room.

“It’s nothing, in fact, I have always wanted to walk around, just like Wang Lei, but unfortunately I can’t walk away because of my inborn hard work.” Xiao Ma said with a smile on his square face, and said without mind.

“Hello, Mr. Ma.” Li Xiuyan and Liu Bi who followed Wang Tao also greeted Xiao Ma.

“Hello, let me introduce to you. This is President Lin of our film and television company, and this is my assistant Jiang Xin.” President Ma smiled and introduced the two women around him to the three of them, and then said: “This is President Wang from the Phantom, President Li from Chang’an Film and Television, and this big star, so I don’t need to introduce them.”

Several people greeted each other, and then went into the private room.

After a few greetings, Brother Xiao Ma said: “I will take your words back and show them to my father. He still doesn’t believe it was written by a young man in his twenties. After watching the video, he praised you. Keep talking.”

“He likes calligraphy very much, but he hasn’t reached your level after decades of practicing, saying that you may become a calligrapher of historical level in the future.”

“The old man passed the award.” Wang Tao didn’t know whether it was true or not, but he said this kind of words very comfortably in his ears, so he said modestly.

“Xiao Jiang helped me get that set of characters and let Mr. Wang use the printing.” Xiao Ma smiled and said to the assistant.

After affixed with his own mountain spring farmer’s seal, the calligraphy came to an end for a while, and began to talk about the topic gradually.

“I heard from Mr. Song before that the three of you want to set up a film and television company, and I don’t know much about the film and television industry. He explained it to me, and it made me a little confused. I want to hear what you think? “Little Ma Ge said slowly and methodically.

“Actually, I have discussed this issue with many people. I think your company must have its own ideas. I don’t usually pay attention to the film and television industry, but I have been thinking about why Hollywood movies are higher than our box office and are more beautiful.”

“In the past, directors liked to make some art films. After conveying the human nature and social phenomena, they later discovered that such films did not make money. It was still a big scene, and large-scale commercial films made money.”

“But this kind of commercial film is a test of the screenwriter’s ability. I remember that when I was in middle school, the three blockbuster films, Jinjia, Youji, and Dinner, almost dazzled me.”

“During the promotion, it was either a thunderstorm or Hamlet, but it really seemed that the story was not clear. Many of our directors like to play deep and are willing to play mystery so that the audience can interpret it by themselves.”

“I don’t think these are necessary at all. Looking at Hollywood blockbusters, except for some suspenseful brain-burning films, most of them are simple and clear, and you can see what is going on at once. At least the audience is not tired after watching it, and then watching Watch the big scene, big star, it’s over.”

“In Hollywood blockbusters, there have always been movies based on comics, such as the Marvel series, and the DC series. They all cultivate a manga fan before making them into movies. Some are novel adaptations, such as the famous Lord of the Rings. Series, Harry Potter series.”

“This kind of movie has a good fan base. As long as the film is not bad, you are not afraid of losing money or saving money.”

“So I feel that instead of putting on the shell of the so-called masterpiece and doing some processing, it is better to draw materials directly from our own stories.”

“Our myths and legends, demons and ghosts, are no more than foreign ones. These are all familiar to us since we were young, and we can put them on the screen with a little modification.”

“The Journey to the West has been hyped up again in the past two years, but you can take a closer look at most of them with the name of Journey to the West, selling dog skin plasters.”

“You may also know that when I wrote Heroes’ Blade, I did it in the direction of adaptation. At the beginning, I didn’t think about movies, but about anime. Later I chatted with President Li and talked about movies. The story of the past is taken out.”

“Later, I learned that our English is not too influential in foreign countries, so I wrote this as a novel and published it first. When the popularity of the book has not passed, directly launching a movie first is also conducive to publicity.” Wang Tao couldn’t stop as soon as he opened his mouth.

Xiao Ma and Lin always listened with smiles on their faces and nodded from time to time.

“Actually, your thoughts are somewhat similar to mine, but at first my focus was on TV dramas. After all, it is not easy to change a novel into a movie, but I read your new novel and found that your creation is very good. Put us Some familiar myths and allusions are written in, and they don’t seem abrupt.”

“More importantly, these allusions appear just right, they are a flashpoint in the book, and these flashpoints can be regarded as the most exciting part of a movie.” Xiao Ma Ge said.

“In my conception, I want to make a movie. As long as the first movie is done well, the second movie, the third movie, and even several movies in the future can be produced.” Wang Tao made no secret of his ambition.

“I also read your script, so I haven’t read the script before, but your script is very clear. After reading it, I can even make up some pictures. Our Lin and some professionals from the film and television company treat you. The script is full of praise.” Xiao Ma said again.

“Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Lin.” Wang Tao smiled and nodded slightly to Mr. Lin to express his gratitude.

“In my opinion, this movie does not require high shooting techniques. As long as the director can shoot according to your script and the post-production special effects can keep up, it is already the best domestic film in recent years. In my opinion, it is no worse than Hollywood blockbusters. Your novel has very good statistics on the international station, and it will help us to promote this movie to the world.” President Ma pushed his glasses and said with a smile.

“This is also the platform of Reading.com. It’s done well, and I’m also covered in it.” Wang Tao said with a smile.

“The platform is only one aspect, mainly because your English level is also very high, especially some of our unique words, you also translate very well.”

“Although some of the popular domestic novels were moved to the international station, the effect is still acceptable, but many readers have reported that some do not understand what is going on. For example, some realm and the like can only be written in pinyin. Yours The use of some vocabulary makes even our company’s translation inferior.” Xiao Ma said with a smile.

Although listening to others boasting that he feels comfortable, Wang Tao also knows that these are just foreshadowing. The real purpose of Xiao Ma’s appointment with him today has not been stated.

He doesn’t believe that Brother Xiao Ma is such a big boss. Asking him out is just to talk about these things.
