Chapter 587: The Media Misunderstands Me

"What should I do if the system forces me to copy books ()" Find the latest chapter!

The cool air of the air conditioner was blowing in the dormitory, and Li Chungang, who had just come out of the bathroom, exuded the unique fragrance of shower gel.

Some people like the light fragrance of this shower gel after a bath, and think that this fragrance is not as strong as perfume, which is just right, while some people avoid it.

In the world, it is normal to have different hobbies. As a native boy, Li Chungang has been assimilated to the north for a long time, but he still insists on some living habits, just like northerners like to go to the bathhouse to take a bath, he also I like to use the shower gel when I take a shower to make it more comfortable.

The dormitory building after the lunch break is already very lively. Some people like to sing while washing up. Under the light of the morning sun, they look particularly...unfortunate!

"Mr. Li, you are taking a bath and you are dressed so formally. Which fan girl are you going to have a secret tryst with? Let me tell you that as the head of the 404 dormitory, I need to educate you on what is 'male virtue', If you don't have a reasonable explanation, don't blame me for making a small report with my younger siblings!" Su Yu pretended to ask, because of his weird talent, to be honest, it's true that he engages in programming and doesn't sign up for Deyun Club A bit of a waste of talent.

Li Chungang in front of him is wearing a retro national style shirt with black on the outside and white on the inside. He looks very elegant like a master of a generation. He has a handsome face and long legs, and he is also a literary god. It is almost standard for idol dramas!

It would be even more fanciful if Zuo Qingcang and Right Qianhuang came here.

At first, Li Chungang didn't like to wear this kind of retro national style shirts. He tried to wear them purely because He Miao picked them for himself, and it was because of this time that he fell in love with wearing this kind of clothes. Under normal circumstances, it is still mainly casual clothes, and only in some more formal occasions will it be taken out as a "battle suit".

Because of this, the original suits in the closet disappeared and were replaced by this kind of retro national style shirts. The difference is that the patterns knitted on the shirts are different from the text.

The ones he wears are not the ones that are more than a hundred or so from a certain treasure, but are specially processed one by one by an experienced craftsman later, not only considering the comfort of wearing, but also deliberately leaving a unique mark on the shirt. , such as the flowing cloud pattern on the corners and sleeves of the clothes, the knitted four characters "Zhi Chun Zhi Gang" and so on...

"You're half right. Dating is dating, but it's not me dating, but helping my work to date, hoping to find a good partner for it."

Not surprisingly, the producer of Universal Pictures who was in charge of the negotiations should have arrived in Yanjing smoothly, and will contact Wensi Quanyong after checking in at the reserved hotel and taking a short rest.

As for Li Chungang himself, he had to take another afternoon class before passing, so there was not much time left for him to go back and change his clothes.

Chen Cang asked with some incomprehension: "What do you want to express, to date the work? It means that you have the copyright of the work to authorize?"

"A Hollywood company came to talk about the film and television copyright of "Lord of the Rings". The situation is still unclear. I will talk to you in detail when the contract is actually signed." Secretly spread out, but there is really nothing to say, so far there is nothing dry.

Su Yu nodded again and again: "It's good to shoot. I think the scenes of fantasy movies like "The Lord of the Rings" should be more shocking and magnificent, and I also read your book in my spare time. It seems that you are When I was creating it, I was rushing to adapt it for film and television, and when it comes to the details in the book, Chun Gang, you are really meticulous!"

"What are you talking about? It's not that you haven't seen it, I'm just afraid that taking it out will hurt everyone's self-esteem."

Don't look at programmers and writers as two professions that have no intersection.

But if you insist, there are still commonalities. For example, if programmers want to sell their programmed programs at a good price, they must make the code as detailed as possible and make the functions as perfect as possible; similarly, writers want to sell their works at a good price , also make the content as detailed as possible, so that others can see its potential value at a glance!

Several people in the 404 dormitory talked and laughed and walked towards their respective teaching buildings, and the topic quietly turned to the recent gossip in the school.

Just as the topics among women can never be separated from cosmetics and bags, the eternal topic among men is-beauty!

"Master, I heard you right, are you going on a date?"

A familiar classmate suddenly overtook from behind and asked curiously: "I remember you announced your love affair on Weibo?"

"It's not that I'm going on a date, no, I'm going on a date, but the main object of the date is my work, not what you think."

At this moment, the classmate was finally relieved: "That's good! I also said that if it is true, I can give the female students in our class a chance."

At this time, Su Yu smirked and said: "Student, I think your motives are not pure. What are you doing to help the female students in the class win opportunities? Young Master has an idea!"

"Stop, stop, stop, the topic you are talking about is very dangerous. If you are gay among gays, don't drag me, so as not to affect my reputation. If it gets out, a group of Vajra Barbies will come to your door. See if I don't want you two The guy settles the score."

Li Chungang quickly stopped the conversation, otherwise, these two people probably couldn't help driving.

"Why are you nervous, I'm just talking casually." Su Yu laughed, making the students passing by on both sides of the school road gather their eyes here.

"Shut up!!!"

At the same time, Evans, who flew all the way from Los Angeles, was coming out of the airport under the leadership of the staff of Universal Pictures Huaguo.

This is the first time he has come to Huaguo, and after stepping on the land of Huaguo, he suddenly realized that all of this is far from the backward and poor scene he imagined. The airport is not inferior to the airport in Los Angeles, and it is even worse if you look deeper.

Although he already knew that this place had become the second largest box office market in the world very early on, and the growth rate of the box office was still refreshing, but the current capital of China, Yanjing, made him admire.

"It took Yanjing decades to catch up with our hundreds of years of development, but this is a city that ingeniously blends modernity and history. The closer you go to the city center, the older the buildings are, with a sense of historical precipitation."

I didn't come to Huaguo in person, and I didn't know that the media reporters in the U.S. country were such a "crap", and what they reported on weekdays were all nonsense.

Rodnick, who came to China several years earlier than Evans, is now acting as a tour guide. Universal Pictures has a large layout in the Asia-Pacific region or mainly in China, and Rodnick is actually the theme of Universal Studios in Yanjing. The main person in charge of the park's construction is not someone from the film department.

In this way, the risk of the operation being leaked will be much smaller.

The two of them had a good relationship with each other when they were still in Los Angeles. In addition, they both graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, one of the Ivy League universities in the United States. Although they are not majors, they are alumni from the same school. Working in the same company, it is inevitable that there will be more common topics.

"It's unbelievable. This country is still developing at a high speed. No wonder there is such a powerful writer as Li Chungang. My friend, you must know Li Chungang, right?" Evans asked, wanting to find out about the "local people" What is Li Chungang in his eyes?

Rodnick made an exaggerated and strange voice while driving: "In China, it is estimated that only people who live alone in the mountains and forests will not know this person. He is very famous in China, with a huge fan base, probably like Hua The Chinese version of Justin Bieber. Their college entrance examination is somewhat similar to the SAT. In that exam, he scored the highest in a city. After that, he published his debut novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" on the Internet. In China, this work It has been adapted into a popular TV series of the same name..."

Now that they have been asked, Rodnick simply started talking about Li Chungang's journey of becoming famous!

Strictly speaking, he has been in Huaguo for many years. Not only has he gotten used to the life here, he has also gradually learned to speak a few sentences of daily Chinese. In life or on the Internet, he is the person who has heard the most times. There will always be news coming from time to time, and it is impossible not to understand it over time.

"Now you may only know that he wrote "The Lord of the Rings", which is very famous in the United States and even in the world, but in fact, he still has many works in China, which are the kind with strong Chinese culture and oriental flavor. Perhaps Some people have never read his books, but they must know such a person. Dude, do you know how many people like Li Chungang in a short period of time just by posting a Weibo? Just simply published one of his works As a result, more than 30 million people liked the update plan, and the short answer became popular!

It can be said that your plan to buy the film and television copyright of "The Lord of the Rings" this time is a very wise choice. Other countries in the world dare not say it, but it is in Huaguo, right here. As long as you make it, I can guarantee it The minimum box office is one billion or more! "

Evans didn't interrupt his friend's talk, but was thinking in his heart whether he could impress Li Chungang with the chips in his hand.

Because there are too many "variables" that may appear in this, and if he wants to complete everything between the intervention of other Hollywood giants, time is the biggest obstacle.

Don't look at the fact that this young writer only has "Lord of the Rings" in the world, but this book alone is enough to give him countless honors and titles around the world. Perhaps the best true portrayal of it is a book becoming famous, which also makes it impossible for Evans to dig out the other party like he digs out the unknown writer.

It's about showing enough interests and full sincerity to take over the copyright of this series!

Now that he has decided to win the "Lord of the Rings" sequence to make a movie, and even hopes to further develop it into a unique movie universe in the future, then monopolizing the entire film and television copyright is the basis of all this, otherwise it can only be used as a wedding dress for others. A Hollywood studio would be so stupid.

"In the grid of the co-pilot, there is a little information I simply collected. I don't know if you can use the content in it. Maybe you have done research in advance." As the person in charge, Rodnick's daily work requires How leisurely and leisurely it is, and in addition to learning some Chinese after so many years of living, it took me a little time to come up with such a thing.

"I don't know what to say, but thank you so much!"

The information Evans asked his assistant to collect was not complete, because there were invisible network barriers between the two countries, so that it was impossible to collect too much detailed information on the other side in China, and the statistics were all based on Google Search volume, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter followers, book sales in the US, etc...

He opened the document and found that there were simple English remarks next to many Chinese characters that he could not understand.

For example, the rating of "The Lord of the Rings" on Douban Reading, he couldn't understand the printed evaluation, but 120 million people rated it, and the rating was stable at 9.6 points, infinitely close to the full score of 10 points, which is still understandable.

"His book's reputation in China was not particularly high at the beginning. It may be because of fantasy works and the identities of the protagonists. In addition, the early content does have a bit of long and continuous description, and the overall rhythm is biased. Slow, it is the type that needs to calm down and read quietly. Anyway, I personally like to read it very much. I also hope that our company can obtain the film and television copyright of this work, so that it may be available in the theme park of Universal Studios. A few more key projects can be added!"

Rodnick said this completely from the perspective of work. Judging from what he has seen so far, there are too many scenes in "Lord of the Rings" that are indeed suitable for moving to theme parks.

Who wouldn't want to run into some noble elves in Rivendell?

Or how about a few drinks with your enthusiastic, alcoholic dwarf friends?

These are the real places that can bring huge benefits to Universal theme parks!

No matter how extravagant the two talk to each other, no matter how beautiful the picture they imagined, it is just their wishful thinking. Before the copyright of the author Li Chungang is obtained, all this will eventually be a dream come true Or the shattered dream is still unknown.
