Chapter 208 Crash (4/10 for genuine)
Wu Xiaotian's novel is adapted into a TV series and what he is most worried about is naturally because he is worried about the director. The screenwriter has no intention of reading this book at all, and then he just filmed it randomly because he wanted to use its fame.
In the end, the parties were dissatisfied and complained and criticized each other, and they parted in a bad mood.
Whether it is this world or the earth, there are many cases where these novels with excellent reputation and TV series or movies made by people.
Wu Xiaotian did not doubt Han Chen's directorial ability. He checked his information online in the afternoon. From the information, it can be seen that Han Chen's strength is trustworthy.
Han Chen graduated from the Director Department of the Film Academy and is an authentic professional background.
When I was in college, I had already become famous, and my works were well-known, and I even won the gold medal in the National College Film Festival. After graduation, I filmed several TV series and the response was very good.
However, Wu Xiaotian was still very worried. Will Han Chen think of other directors who have not read the novel carefully, and finally made his works look like the four-dimensional ones.
So, he just asked the question very carefully.
However, judging from Han Chen’s answer just now, Han Chen must have read two of his novels carefully, which made him feel much more relieved.
Han Chen looked at Wu Xiaotian's smile and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The first level was finally passed.
He also understood that all authors treat their novels like children and do not allow others to change them at will.
"What does Mr. Wu mean?" Han Chen looked at Wu Xiaotian and asked.
Wu Xiaotian did not answer directly. He smiled and said, "Director Han, don't call me Mr. Wu. I'm really not used to it. Just call me Xiaotian directly, and I will call you Brother Chen directly."
"Ah, okay, Xiaotian." Han Chen was stunned at first, then reacted and said with a smile.
"Brother Chen, then I'll just say it. I agree with your understanding of my novel just now." Wu Xiaotian looked at Han Chen and continued: "However, if we can reach an agreement and you will shoot my novel, I would like to ask for something, which is to be able to appropriately follow my opinions when selecting actors and adapting scripts in the TV series."
Wu Xiaotian's proposal also wants to participate more deeply in the filming process of the TV series, master more details as much as possible, and make the novel change develop in a good direction.
This time, Han Chen did not hesitate at all.
He nodded and said, "Xiaotian, don't worry about this. As a director, I have never been a person who insists on doing things. I am very happy to follow the original author's opinions. If Xiaotian, you have time, you may not beware of going to the film and television city to check it out, or directly participate in the selection when selecting actors. As for the script, the works of my director, I will tell you that all the scripts are personally handled, and I will let you see them in advance before finalizing them."
When Wu Xiaotian saw Han Chen's frank answer, he was completely relieved.
Han Chen looked at Wu Xiaotian and asked, "But Xiaotian, I don't know how much the copyright fee here is?"
"1.5 million!" Wu Xiaotian replied neatly.
His asking price was comprehensively considered. Generally speaking, the copyright fee for his current artist level and the popularity of the two novels should be around 1 million.
However, this is not considering the price based on Wu Xiaotian's participation in the program "Where Are We Going, Dad?". Since he participated in this program, his popularity has increased greatly, so Wu Xiaotian directly added 500,000 yuan, which is not an exaggeration.
Sure enough, when Han Chen heard this price, he frowned and seemed a little difficult to deal with. He said, "Is this price a little bit high?"
Wu Xiaotian said with a smile: "I believe that if the TV series is really shot later, its ratings and popularity will prove that my price is absolutely worth the money."
Han Chen asked again: "Can't you lose more?"
Wu Xiaotian shook his head with a smile.
However, in the end, Han Chen nodded and said, "Xiaotian, although your price is high, it is not unacceptable. I have this TV series project here, and I will first confirm it, and then I have to go to a film and television company to invest. Don't worry, I will try my best to convince them to give you this price or even higher price. I also hope that after the first cooperation, we can cooperate for a long time. I am really willing to shoot your full set of novels."
Wu Xiaotian nodded undeniably.
All his conditions have been put forward now, and the rest of the matters must be left to Han Chen. As for other novels, they must be discussed in detail.
However, Wu Xiaotian believes that with Han Chen's appeal to filming previous TV series, it should not be a problem to find investment.
Since the two of them have finished their business, the rest is ordinary chat.
As they chatted, the two of them talked about the current situation of Chinese artists from the creation of novels, the shooting of TV series, and the ways to resist the invasion of foreign cultures. For a moment, they felt that they met too late.
However, because Han Chen had a plane the next morning, he couldn't talk until very late. It was almost ten o'clock, and the two of them said goodbye to each other.
Wu Xiaotian came to the parking lot with Beibei in his arms. He looked at the brand new car, thought about the TV series adapted from the novel that he had just concluded, and looked at Beibei's already asleep face.
Two good things happened in one day today, and he hummed a little song happily.
All his goals are being achieved one by one; all things are also developing in a good direction.
If this continues, the dream will be there, not a matter of fact, but it is very likely to be realized.
Wu Xiaotian carefully placed Beibei on the chair behind, then helped her fasten her seat belt, and after confirming that it was fine several times, he walked to the cab, started the car, and started driving.
On the way back, because Beibei was sleeping, Wu Xiaotian drove slowly.
Suddenly, in a relatively open place, a car suddenly rushed in front of him from behind, and stopped suddenly not far from Wu Xiaotian's car.
The parking time and location caught Wu Xiaotian off guard. He didn't even have time to honk the horn, so he quickly turned the steering wheel, trying his best to escape.
However, because it was too close, even if you stepped on the brakes immediately, you still couldn't avoid installing them.
As the moment it was about to hit, the car in front seemed to suddenly react and came alive. It started moving urgently, miraculously moving forward for a meter, avoiding the tragedy of the crash.
