Chapter 460 Sleeping together, no stealing
For Li Luo, although Yuan Wanqing is now a big star, Li Luo actually doesn't feel much about it.
On the one hand, she is Yan Zhusheng's mother, and on the other hand, the song that made Yuan Wanqing popular was provided by Li Luo.
Therefore, when looking at Yuan Wanqing, Li Luo rarely uses a passerby's perspective on celebrities.
But Li Xiang and Chen Lu are different.
Although they also knew Yan Zhusheng and knew that she was Yuan Wanqing's daughter.
But after all, I had only seen him during the Chinese New Year last year, so I wasn’t very familiar with him.
And Yuan Wanqing has only been seen on TV.
As a result, at this time, they suddenly met Yuan Wanqing in person. For Chen Lu and Li Xiang, the impact was obviously much greater.
Yuan Wanqing herself didn't have any airs. After Chen Lu went to ask for an autograph, Li Xiang also walked over coquettishly, and Yuan Wanqing signed all of them, and finally took a group photo.
Looking at Chen Lu and Li Xiang who were in high spirits, Li Luo also smiled.
After asking Li Xiang to help him move his luggage to the third floor, Li Luo followed Ying Chanxi and the others to Ying Zhicheng's house next door.
Ying Chanxi took Yan Zhusheng up to the third floor, but this time he did not arrange a separate bedroom for Yan Zhusheng. Instead, he pulled Yan Zhusheng directly into his room.
"Zhusheng, please sleep with me during the New Year." Ying Chanxi warmly invited him and walked in directly pulling Yan Zhusheng's suitcase.
Yan Zhusheng was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a moment. After Ying Chanxi had dragged her suitcase in, it would be inappropriate for Yan Zhusheng to refuse.
So she had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Ying Chanxi is naturally very satisfied with this.
The main idea is to sleep together and no one is allowed to steal the house.
……
In the afternoon, Li Luo's cousin Chen Sijia came back with her sister-in-law.
After seeing Yuan Wanqing's signature on the clothes Chen Lu was showing off, Chen Sijia also blushed slightly and ran to the next door, asked Yuan Wanqing to sign her name, and then ran back with a happy face.
During dinner in the evening, Yuan Wanqing followed Ying Zhicheng to sit down on the second floor of Li Luo's house.
The first time everyone saw Yuan Wanqing, they were a little nervous.
However, after seeing that Yuan Wanqing was almost like an ordinary person, after three rounds of drinking, he let go.
While Li Xiang was eating, he glanced at Li Luo from time to time.
He saw Li Luo picking up vegetables for Yan Zhusheng, and Ying Chanxi picking up vegetables for Li Luo.
Look at Ying Zhicheng and Yuan Wanqing. As the parents of Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng, when chatting at the dinner table, whenever they talk about Li Luo, everyone will praise them.
This kind of treatment made Li Xiang secretly frightened. Could it be that his brother-in-law could really turn the novel into reality?
Excluding Xu Youyu, looking simply at Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng, it seems that neither the two girls themselves nor their parents have any major objections.
Li Xiang looked at the small details of this scene and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
When he read "I'm Not a Celebrity" before, he thought it would be great if this book could be made into a TV series in the future.
But now it seems like, what kind of TV series should I make?
Wouldn’t it be better to just watch a live reality show?
This is much more exciting and exciting than what is written in the book!
I just don’t know. Do my uncles and aunts know that my brother-in-law has already slept with several girls?
Li wanted to recall the scene he had seen during the New Year last year, and suddenly fell into deep thought.
……
After dinner, several families gathered on the sofa in the living room to chat.
Lin Xiuhong pulled Yuan Wanqing, then called Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng, and asked Li Luo and the others to help move the mahjong table out of the storage room and start playing mahjong.
When Li Luo returned to the sofa, Ying Zhicheng had just taken the cigarette handed over by Li Guohong, lit it, took a puff, and said to Li Luo: "About the film and television copyright of "Little Joy", have you received the news? No?”
"Received." Li Luo nodded, "Wenyue Group communicated with me, and I asked lawyers to follow up on the progress, but the main negotiations are still controlled by them."
"I had an appointment with a director before, and he thought it was very difficult to adapt your novel and wanted to give it a try." Ying Zhicheng said, "He said he had already met you."
"Oh, is it director Wang Jun?" Li Luo recalled, "I met him at the annual meeting before."
"Yeah." Ying Zhicheng nodded and said, "His level of plotting is average, but his level of controlling plot shooting is quite high. I think he will be more suitable for you."
This is true.
After all, Li Luo's "Little Joy" is not the kind of original work that only provides a framework and main line, but is completely supplemented and enriched according to the plot of the TV series.
If a director who has his own strong opinions on the plot changes the plot beyond recognition during filming, then Li Luo will not be able to accept it.
On the contrary, a director like Wang Jun is quite to Li Luo's liking.
Many times, creation and basic skills are two different things.
Just like a person's writing style is very unique, but he may not be able to write a good story. At most, he can write a beautiful article. In the same way, if a cartoonist only has good drawing skills, he may not be able to draw a good-looking cartoon. He can only draw good-looking characters and scenery.
The same is true for directors.
The lighting, angles, scene layout, and all configurations can be the best, but this does not mean that a good-looking movie can be made.
A good story is the most important thing.
Now that we are talking about the director, it is quite obvious what Ying Zhicheng means. No matter how much the Wenyue Group bids, he is bound to win.
Fortunately, Huayue Film and Television is not a small group. It is well-known in Qianjiang Province and is considered a second-tier film and television company nationwide.
In terms of novel film and television copyright cooperation, although I have no previous experience in adapting male-oriented online novels, I have already adapted them several times for female-oriented videos.
When Ying Zhicheng led the team to negotiate with the Copyright Department of Wenyue Group, considering that it was Li Luo's book, half of the proceeds would go into Li Luo's pocket.
The person who paid for the copyright was actually Huayue Film and Television Company, not Ying Zhicheng himself.
Therefore, in terms of lowering the price, Ying Zhicheng did not press too hard. He only lowered the price from Wenyue Group's 15 million to the level of 10 million. The subsequent transaction price will most likely be within this range.
Li Luo didn't care much about this aspect.
Although the final quotation fluctuates up and down, which may affect his income of millions, this millions is actually the cost of Li Guohong's car.
According to the previous platinum tycoon, the most important thing about selling the copyright of the first book is the sale itself.
Once you successfully sell a film and television copyright, you will become a higher priority author within Wenyue Group or other film and television companies.
If Li Luo wants to sell film and television rights to another book in the future, the film and television company currently only has enough funds to buy one copy.
Then the probability of it choosing Li Luo is far higher than that of authors who have never sold copyrights.
"My current plan is that after the Chinese New Year, I will talk about this project in April at most."
After Ying Zhicheng finished talking about the above matter, he continued, "Two small shareholders of Huayue Film and Television have withdrawn this year, and they are not very optimistic about the future film and television route."
"If we don't make some achievements in the future, Huayue Film and Television will become increasingly difficult."
"After we negotiated and signed the film and television rights contract before April, I immediately handed over to Director Wang Jun and started casting."
"Start shooting during the summer vacation and try to finish before National Day."
"After going through various procedures, it will probably be broadcast before and after the college entrance examination next year."
Hearing this, Li Luo was stunned for a moment: "Before and after next year's college entrance examination... isn't that our current college entrance examination?"
"Yes." Ying Zhicheng smiled, "It's just in time for your college entrance examination, so it's quite appropriate."
"Indeed." Li Luo laughed and thought this time arrangement was quite interesting.
But he didn't expect that Ying Zhicheng's efficiency was quite high.
Normally, it is normal for the film and television rights of a novel to take three to five years from sale to filming and then to broadcast.
There are only a few people like Ying Zhicheng who strive to complete the entire process within two years.
Even some film and television works may not be broadcast after filming due to various reasons.
After some actors complete a work, it may take a year or two before they suddenly see their work being broadcast on the screen.
In short, various situations are common.
Ying Zhicheng's side is purely because he needs performance.
In the recent period of Huayue Film and Television, in addition to preparing "Little Joy", there is also another female channel novel "Blue Falling Yellow Spring" that was originally discussed. It is written by the same author as the previous "Yaochi Fairy Tale".
Although "Yaochi Immortal" has a mediocre reputation online, it has a pretty good reputation among the fan community and has made a fortune before.
Now that the two TV series projects have been launched simultaneously, it can be regarded as an insurance policy that Ying Zhicheng has given himself.
There are only about two years left before the deadline agreed between him and the board of directors.
If he continues to do poorly, his position as general manager will probably have to be moved.
"By the way, Uncle Ying." After listening to Ying Zhicheng's words, Li Luo suddenly thought of a possibility and couldn't help but curiously asked, "Will Huayue Film and Television accept cooperative development?"
"What do you mean?" Ying Zhicheng was stunned for a moment.
"What is your approximate cost budget for this drama?"
"Thirty to forty million, not too much. After all, it is an urban drama, so the cost is not high."
"Then can I invest part of it?" Li Luo raised his eyebrows and asked with some interest, "In the name of rekindling culture."
