Chapter 1435 The Disillusionment of the Hero’s Dream (Third update, please subscribe)
Almost at the same time as "Air Force One" landed, a C717 flying from Hong Kong Island also landed on another runway, sitting on Many passengers on the plane even looked in the other direction.
Looking at the plane painted in blue and white, Zha Liangyong said to himself:
“That’s the Air Force One.”
Even in Hong Kong Island, Cha Liangyong had heard of "Air Force One". After all, as a reporter, he had reported more than once photos of the Excellency visiting various countries on it.
This "Air Force One" is even called "the world's largest passenger aircraft". To a certain extent, this is true. Its passenger capacity and range far exceed that of the Boeing 407.
But after just one glance, Zha Liangyong withdrew his gaze. This was not the first time he came to Chang'an, but this time he came here to discuss the adaptation of the work.
In the past few years, several of his martial arts works have not only been best-sellers in Hong Kong Island, but have also entered the best-seller list here. Therefore, Asia Television sent people to discuss the adaptation and filming of the works.
Cha Liangyong is very concerned about this matter, not only because selling the copyright is a considerable income, but also because after the work is adapted into a TV series, with the influence of Asia Television, it is bound to It will raise the influence of his works to a new level, and his own reputation will also rise with the tide.
Fame means wealth! It means money!
For this reason, Zha Liangyong came to Chang'an in person, hoping to sell the rights to adapt his works at a price that satisfied both parties.
Soon after passing the customs, Cha Liangyong got into the car sent by the TV station. On the way to the TV station, while chatting with the receptionist, he had already thought about it.
“Perhaps we can offer a low price...”
The reason why we are willing to offer a low price is to allow the other party to film our works. After all, Asia Television is one of the most famous TV stations in the world. First, its coverage includes not only Southeast Asia and East Asia, but also its programs can be viewed in Europe and the Americas.
Cha Liangyong believes that as long as his works can be adapted into TV series, it will definitely boost the sales of his works and bring him more income.
In this way, the thoughtful Zha Liangyong looked at Chang'an outside the window while thinking about a suitable quotation. He was not unfamiliar with this city, but he was still attracted by its prosperity every time he came.
“If I had come here back then, maybe I would have achieved higher achievements!”
But this thought was fleeting. After all, whether it was then or now, the importance of newspapers here is The controls are very strict, not only requiring the founders to be reviewed, but also requiring them to A deposit of 500,000 yuan is deposited in the account. If the newspaper's report involves distorted reporting or infringes on other people's reputation, the other party can sue for compensation, and this kind of compensation is extremely expensive - more than ten years ago, a newspaper was very Because the report was inaccurate, he was sued by the local prosecutor's office and was eventually ordered to pay Chang'an City 500,000 yuan in compensation.
Falled into bankruptcy overnight.
Because of this, few newspaper people will come here to run newspapers or magazines, not just because of the law, but more importantly because of money!
Not many people have the financial resources to put up US$500,000 as a deposit there. In comparison, filing a newspaper on Hong Kong Island is much simpler, so simple that... there are no restrictions. It is as easy to run a newspaper there as it is to run a magazine. For more than ten years, many cultural people have been unable to find jobs in Hong Kong Island. Once a few people put together the funds to publish a newspaper, they paid the registration fee, rented an office, and found two reporters to run there every day. News, a tabloid of only one or two pages costs a dime. Hong Kong Island now has a population of only three million, but there are hundreds of newspapers.
In contrast, Chang'an, with a population of more than 15 million, has less than 30 newspapers. Compared with running a newspaper, running a magazine is easier, but magazines are also divided into several categories. There are almost no restrictions on magazines such as science and entertainment, but there are various restrictions on magazines involving current affairs.
Actually, Cha Liangyong is very clear about the reason for these restrictions. It is simply to exclude the left-wing newspapers that are popular on Hong Kong Island. Not only newspapers, but also people. In fact, there are many left-wing newspapers on Hong Kong Island. They were all repatriated that year. Later, they reached an agreement with the British Hong Kong authorities to be deported directly through Luohu.
Recalling some of his friends, Zha Liangyong frowned slightly. At this time, the receptionist next to the co-pilot said:
"We are here, Mr. Cha."
< br>
As he was talking, the car was parked on the front porch of the building. After the receptionist got out of the car and opened the door, Zha Liangyong got out of the car. He looked at the lobby of the building and thought to himself, well... today is the day!
In fact, this is now the biggest market for his works. After all, on the Bay Island, his books are banned as "bandit books" and can only be sold publicly in Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia.
Because of this, he values this cooperation very much. He values it, and the TV station also values it. As soon as he got off the bus, Tian Chengyu, the deputy manager of the TV station, rushed over to greet him.
"Welcome, Mr. Cha, I have heard of you for a long time!"
"Manager Tian is very polite..."
Just as the two of them were being polite and walking towards the elevator, the elevator door opened and a group of people walked out. After one of the gentlemen came out, the others bowed.
The same was true for Tian Chengyu. When he bowed, Cha Liangyong looked at the gentleman, and the man just glanced at him and then walked out of the building.
While getting on the elevator, Zha Liangyong asked curiously:
"Manager Tian, who is that gentleman?"
"Mr. Zhu from the Labor Group."
"Ah, that's him!"
Zha Liangyong couldn't help but be surprised. Even in Hong Kong Island, he knew a little about Zhu Yihai's name. It was not because of the size of the labor group, but also because of the He is known as the "Father of Labor". It was his labor service company that recruited a large number of workers, and it was the arrival of those workers that solved the problem of labor shortage here.
To a certain extent, without Zhu Yihai and his labor service company, there would be no "Equator Miracle". After all, people are the basis of everything.
When he was about to get into the car, Zhu Yihai seemed to have thought of something and asked:
"Chief Song, who was the person next to Manager Tian just now?"
It's not that he didn't bow, he was just slightly curious.
Song Yingru from the secretary's office quickly replied:
"It should be Cha Liangyong from Hong Kong Island. He also has a pen name called..."
Hearing this When the name was mentioned, Zhu Yihai frowned. "...His works are very popular in the market, so the TV station is planning to buy his works and make them into TV series..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Yihai said:
"Stop!"
After the car stopped, Zhu Yihai got out of the car and returned to the building again. Song Yingru and others followed him. Behind him, when entering the elevator, Zhu Yihai said:
“Fortunately I’m here today!”
The reason why he said this is because he knows that not only do you dislike that guy’s works, you can even say that you are very disgusted with them. , disgusted with his beautification of some people in the novel.
Looking at the boss with a solemn expression, Song Yingru couldn't help but beat a drum in her heart.
What's going on?
When Zhu Yihai arrived at the conference room, Zha Liangyong had already made his offer.
“5,000 yuan!”
This is not just the copyright of one novel, but also the priority rights to adapt multiple novels.
This can be said to be an extremely favorable price. Even when he quoted this price, Tian Chengyu couldn't help but said in surprise:
"This, this, Mr. Cha, are you sure this is an adaptation of these novels?" Copyright? This price is really unexpected!”
Facing Tian Chengyu Surprised, Zha Liangyong said:
"Manager Tian, I believe this is just the beginning of our cooperation! We will have more cooperation in the future, and this kind of cooperation will make both of us..."
Just at this moment, the conference room door opened, and at the same time, a voice came in.
"There will be no cooperation!"
Zhu Yihai walked into the conference room. With a calm expression, he looked directly at Zha Liangyong and said:
"Asia TV will not have any cooperation with you. Cooperate, and I guarantee that no TV station or film company will buy your copyright."
"What!"
Zha Liangyong said in shock:
"Mr. Zhu, what do you mean?"
Looking at the well-known writer in front of him, Zhu Yihai said in a calm tone:
"I hope you can understand that this is not just It’s just personal likes and dislikes. In our opinion, any beautifying description of the invaders is extremely wrong and unfounded. Wang Meihua's description is also unacceptable."
Zha Liangyong was stunned by the sudden words. He said in shock:
"This, this, my novel. Mr. Zhu, how can you say that? There is no beautification in my novel. Even if there is, it is just...a novel!"
"In the novel, the Quanzhen Taoists who first took refuge with the Jin people and then the Mongols were portrayed as loyal and righteous men.
Wu Liuqi, whose hands were stained with the blood of the Han people, also transformed in your writing and turned into a heroic man. Qian Yun's anti-Qing righteous person. Zha Yihuang, who whistled in the "Ming History Case", was also glorified as a famous anti-Qing person who had close friendship with Gu Yanwu and Lu Liuliang.
Lu Wende, a famous general of the generation, fought on the anti-Mongolian front lines in Jianghuai, Hubei, and Sichuan for more than 30 years. He defeated the Mongolian army many times and achieved impressive results. However, such a heroic figure was portrayed as greedy for life, fearful of death, and incompetent. The clown!
Is this just a novel?”
While asking, Zhu Yihai said:
"In short, we have the right to refuse to shoot any film that glorifies the invaders. As for your novel, Mr. Cha, you should cherish that we have not banned your book because it does not comply with the spirit of our laws, but at least we can not do it. Evil - I will not film your works. At the same time, I can also guarantee that no TV stations or film companies will film your works here. At the same time, ..."
Zhu Yihai said with an extremely certain tone:
"No publishing house will publish your novel! At least not any novel of this type,"
For a moment, Zha Liangyong was completely stunned. He was originally ambitious and wanted to take advantage of the broadcast of the TV series to publish a few more novels, but he was completely confused.
"Zhu, Mr. Zhu, how could you do this!"
Facing Cha Liangyong's shock, Zhu Yihai said to Tian Chengyu:
"As a deputy manager, what do you do for a living? If you want to make a movie about a novel that slanders your ancestors, don't you even have basic common sense?" How did our Asia Television become like this?"
While scolding him harshly, Zhu Yihai said:
"Okay, your manager can stop working and write your own letter of resignation! And everyone who proposes to shoot his works will be demoted!"
After that, Zhu Yihai walked away directly, leaving only The next group of people were stunned. As for the manager Tian Chengyu, he was completely stunned. In any case, he never thought that one of his people would lose his job because he wanted to film a TV series.
"The great knight..."
Looking at them coldly, Zhu Yihai snorted coldly, and then left without saying a word.
Only a stunned crowd was left...
