Chapter 337 Is the Magical Version of "A Chinese Ghost Story" Okay?
"Mr. Lin, hello! It's the first time I met you. I like your songs very much, especially the song "Shame on You" is really great!"
Lin Fan and Yang Hongxia arrived at the pre-arranged place on a winter afternoon. A middle-aged man in the box quickly stood up, reached out to shake hands with Lin Fan, and greeted Lin Fan very warmly.
Lin Fan handled it with ease: "Mr. Li is over the award, thank you very much for your support."
Yang Hongxia's actions were quick, and within a few days, she had contacted a management company.
"Hey, I'm telling the truth. Not only do I love listening to your songs, even my kid also likes Mr. Lin's songs very much. He knew that I was going to see Mr. Lin, and even made a fuss to come together!"
That being said, even if this matter is true, it is impossible for Mr. Li to bring his son to see Lin Fan.
Lin Fan knew it well, and followed suit.
Yang Hongxia watched them finish their greetings, and then interrupted with a smile: "Mr. Li, Lin Fan, sit down and chat. Mr. Li, Lin Fan is very concerned about your investment in "A Chinese Ghost Story". The message said that I want to see you."
"Oh, Mr. Lin is so concerned about this project?"
Lin Fan smiled and said: "Yes, this is my story after all. To be honest, this story was created for the purpose of being made into a movie. Unfortunately, I am a layman and I don't have the resources in this area, so I have to give up."
President Li patted his thigh: "I just said that this story looks so pleasing to the eye, it really is a complete script!"
"This is also Mr. Li, you have sharp eyes!"
"It's all fate!"
...
After another round of business exchanging, the two sides officially opened the topic and gradually entered today's topic.
"I am very optimistic about this story. I believe that after adaptation, this story will definitely be able to be made into a 3D blockbuster that combines magic, suspense and horror!"
Ok?
Lin Fan knew every word Mr. Li said, but why did Lin Fan feel like he didn't understand when they got together?
Lin Fan maintained a polite smile: "Wait a minute, Mr. Li, magic?"
"That's right! Young people nowadays don't like to watch old-fashioned immortals and ghosts anymore.
They all like western magical giants. I think it is difficult to change our story into a magical style, but it is not impossible. "
Speaking of this, the investor Mr. Li became excited: "Mr. Lin, look, the heroine is a female ghost, we can completely change her into a princess of a lost tribe!
The old monster behind her who controls her basically does not need to move, it is still an old tree demon, but what it uses to control the heroine is no longer the ashes, but some kind of magic spell. What is that word called? What do you think of 'Fallen Druids'? "
Lin Fan: I think, I want to test the hardness of your skull.
The investor is still talking about what "A Chinese Ghost Story" looks like in his mind.
"It's a good starting point for the male protagonist to collect the bills. I don't think it needs to be changed, but I can change it to the knight. How about changing it to a legendary knight? The duel between the knight and the druid is still very interesting? Or Teacher Lin prefers the mage profession?"
"As for the heroine being married to the old black mountain demon in the end, I think it would be interesting to change the heroine to be kidnapped by the dark dragon. After the knights lead the hero to defeat the dragon, they will be assigned to the dragon." There are mountains of gold and silver treasures in the palace, and they have lived a happy life ever since."
Yang Hongxia has also read this story, but after hearing the investor's adaptation, why does she feel that this story has nothing to do with Lin Fan's "A Chinese Ghost Story"?
Such an outline of the story can be filmed by making up any name, why spend a fortune to buy the copyright of "A Chinese Ghost Story" from Lin Fan?
Yang Hongxia felt that something was wrong: "Mr. Li, this story is a tragedy. Your adaptation, uh, with all due respect, seems to have nothing to do with the original story, right?"
"Hey! How can you say it doesn't matter!" The investor smiled, "This story is adapted from "A Chinese Ghost Story". No matter how it is adapted, it is still "A Chinese Ghost Story". I can give it to Teacher Lin and Mr. Yang. You promise that this name will never be changed.”
Of course it will not be changed, the most valuable part of this whole story is the name!
In other words, it was Lin Fan's fame!
Lin Fan could see that the investor actually didn't intend to make a good film of this story, but made a western magic movie under his own banner.
The reason why he bought the copyright of "A Chinese Ghost Story" from himself was just to gain his own fame and reap his fans!
In fact, Lin Fan has full doubts that this magical story should have already been filmed!
This employer is only waiting for his Dongfeng!
Just imagine, if the story written by Lin Fan is made into a movie, who will support it the most? Of course they are fans!
And for these investors, the purpose of making movies is to make money, as long as they make money, they don't care what kind of movie they make! Of course, try not to make bad movies as much as possible, otherwise it will affect word of mouth, and the next movie will be difficult to operate.
Yang Hongxia also noticed that the investor was playing tricks on her! From the very beginning, they never thought of cooperating well, but came for Lin Fan!
"Mr. Li, this is not good. After all, this story was created by Lin Fan. If it is changed to what you said, what good will it do Lin Fan?"
"We are very sincere."
Mr. Li gave Yang Hongxia a suggestive look, "Besides, after the movie is released, Mr. Lin can also post an article condemning us for changing the plot. fame!"
The investor's meaning was very clear. They spent a sum of money to buy the copyright of the adaptation of the story of "A Chinese Ghost Story" from Lin Fan, and then changed it into a movie and released it to harvest Lin Fan's fans.
When the fans found out that they had been cheated, Lin Fan could blame all the fault on the producer, claiming that he did not know that the story would be changed in such a way, and transferred the anger of the fans to the producer.
In this way, both Lin Fan and the producer made money, and the fans got an explanation. Everyone is happy!
This kind of coquettish operation is actually not new in the circle at all.
Unfortunately, this investor didn't know that what Lin Fan wanted was not money, but just a movie.
Lin Fan stood up: "I'm sorry, I can't accept this kind of change."
Mr. Li was taken aback, and then stood up: "What does Mr. Lin think about the adaptation? It doesn't matter, everything is easy to discuss..."
"Do not."
Lin Fan didn't want to talk nonsense with the other party, "If this story is to be made into a movie, it can only be made according to my script. I don't accept any magical changes or even abnormal adaptations, and this matter is not negotiable."
The investor's face was not very good: "Mr. Lin, you can't say that, you are doing business..."
"It's a pity that we may not have reached a consensus on this point. In my opinion, this movie is not a business, it is just a movie."
Lin Fan showed his eight big white teeth and smiled at the other party, "Look, this is our difference. So this cooperation can only fail."
Yang Hongxia took advantage of the opportunity to open the door of the box, and motioned for Lin Fan to go first, while she was in the rear.
Before leaving the house, Yang Hongxia smiled at the investor: "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, you also know that Zhenghong artists have such personalities, I hope you don't take offense. If this cooperation fails, there will be a next time! Next time there will be Let's talk again when we have a chance."
Mr. Li was speechless: next time what next time? This kind of "business" is a one-shot deal!
The core is to harvest vermicelli leeks once!
If we can't reach an agreement this time, how can there be a next time!
Could it be that Lin Fan will have a new story next time?
Mr. Li's spirit suddenly came, it's amazing, it's amazing! "A Chinese Ghost Story" is already so amazing, what's the next story?
After the relationship between humans and ghosts is over, is it a love that crosses races?
Mr. Li felt that he had grasped the key point at once!
