489 Disagreements, Demands and New Songs (4/4, For the Fatty Fatty's Ten Thousand Years in the Book
The negotiations between the people from Global Film and Television and Yang Yi's team were deadlocked. Yang Yi, who was busy purchasing furniture and electrical appliances from his new home, also took the time to go to Sahara Publishing House. On the one hand, he gave wedding candies to his employees, and on the other hand, he also wanted to listen to Lu Benjie's report.
"The most important difference between Manager Zhu and us at present is the adaptation of the script." Lu Benjie told Yang Yi, "Global Films means adapting the original story to conform to the national conditions of China, and it also needs to replace all the characters in it with Chinese people."
Yang Yi felt a little incredible, so he spread his hands and said, "Why? Are they so funny? I can almost use this novel as a script, and he still needs to adapt it?"
"And it has also been changed to the Chinese national conditions, which is a joke. Not to mention how strict the gun control in China is, there are only so many complex clues of characters and characteristics. Can the characters be changed at will? It is funny and ridiculous to think about it!"
"They mean that you can be the screenwriter and adapt it from the original author." Lu Benjie scratched his head and added.
"This is nothing to be discussed. Either shoot according to my story, or they will get out!" Yang Yi was a little impatient. It would be better to write a new story if you want to adapt and escape from prison!
Of course, Lu Benjie was not the other party's lobbyist. He nodded and said, "Boss, you have mentioned this requirement to us before, so our negotiating team repeatedly emphasized to them that the cooperation premise cannot be changed too much to the story, and also explained to them why it cannot be adapted..."
"Then why are they still so persistent? Do they have no reasonable judgment on themselves?" Yang Yi said in confusion.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this story is not as likely to be adapted so greatly!
"According to the information we have received, this request was proposed by Xu Zhongwei, president of Global Film China." Lu Benjie explained, "It should be that they hope to achieve results in this project. If they want to use the resources of their headquarters to film in the United States and hire American actors, the benefits that Mr. Xu can get may be greatly reduced."
The butt determines the head. If the president of Global Film China wants to bypass the US headquarters, he can only adapt this work they are optimistic about. Yang Yi is not at the negotiating table and has no idea that the people sent by Global Film also talked about national justice to his negotiating team, but everyone is smart, how could they easily get emotional?
But Yang Yi would not consider them. He waved his hand to Lu Benjie and said, "Since they still insist on this requirement, let it be aside and let it go. If you want to talk, don't mention these requirements! In addition, if they want to talk in the future, you can tell them that I must be a screenwriter, which is a necessary condition!"
After talking about this, Yang Yi took out a U disk and handed it to Lu Benjie: "There are two new books I wrote, but they are all story books, suitable for children to read! One is "Journey to the West" which was derived from ancient mythological stories, and the other is a collection of bedtime stories I told Xixi recently. You can organize and type the title of the book, which is called "Xixi's Bedtime Story 2"!"
These two books have been sorted out for a long time, and the most complicated one is the compilation of "Journey to the West". In order to tell the story of "Journey to the West" in a simple and easy-to-understand way and suitable for children to read, Yang Yi spent several months rewriting it!
"Xixi's Bedtime Story 2" is better. Yang Yi compiled the long Ice Age and some short fairy tales told Xixi these days into words and put them together.
Lu Benjie quickly picked it up and plugged it into the computer.
"When I go back, you can watch it slowly. If you have any suggestions, you can tell me on the phone or email." Yang Yi was very busy. He waved his hand and said, "Is there anything else besides the film and television copyright issues of "Prison Break"?"
Lu Benjie looked through his small notebook and said, "Yes, about your six signing meetings next month. Didn't you say you want to collect the readers' requirements and choose three to satisfy them?"
Yang Yi nodded.
When she said this, Yang Yi was in a good mood. After knowing that Murphy was pregnant, he was always wandering around. So he not only agreed to hold a signing party, but also made some decisions that made him feel a little troublesome after thinking about it. But a real man must fulfill the promises he made!
Lu Benjie said: "We posted a post on your personal website that collected everyone's requests, and then sorted the replies with the highest likes, and filtered out some nonsensical requests, so as to sort out the ten remaining likes for you to choose from."
Not every reader makes serious requests. They also make requests for Yang Yi to wear women's clothing with some jokes or bad tastes, which are naturally filtered out!
Lu Benjie turned his computer screen around, and listed ten requirements, such as asking Yang Yi to interact with readers in the book review area every day in the future. Yang Yi started to read it with relish.
To choose three, Yang Yi thought about it for a while, pointed to the above request and said, "The first request I can agree with: start more reader activities to make the Yifan family feel more belonging!"
Yang Yi raised his head and smiled at Lu Benjie, "I think this can be done. You can find someone to organize it, hold small events every two weeks and big events every two months!"
"Well, you can organize it on your personal website, which can enhance cohesion!" Lu Benjie nodded and recorded it in his notebook.
"Events are not done casually. First of all, small activities should not be too complicated, so that more people can participate, and the prizes can be smaller. For example, the vouchers in Sahara Online Mall are good, but the number should be large, so that the number of winners is also large!" Yang Yi said, "I suggest that you can contact Houlang Technology Company, use their social platform to design, and do a small event such as forwarding lottery."
Lu Benjie knew that both companies had a close relationship with Yang Yi, so he didn't ask too much and listened and recorded carefully.
"Big events can be organized on our website, but the awards should be attractive enough, such as rewarding them for traveling abroad or two-person honeymoon trips. The content of the event must be well designed. Whether it is online or offline activities, they must be organized interesting, difficult and meaningful enough! For example, if you organize a half-marathon of the Yifan family, you can promote a healthy life concept while participating in the competition. Of course, I am just giving an example of this. Fans are scattered all over the country, and it is not easy to gather people to participate in this competition." Yang Yi smiled.
"By the way, who came up with this Yifan family? It sounds like Italian fans, quite interesting." Yang Yi asked with a smile. This was the first time he knew this statement.
"A fan named Mu Yuchen is in Yangcheng." Lu Benjie said, "But he gave you a lot of money on Qiyue website before, probably no less than 100,000 yuan! And he has put in a lot of effort to organize fans to clear your name before."
"How is that?" Yang Yi was a little surprised and said, "If he came when he was holding a sales signing party in Yangcheng, remember to tell me... Forget it, you make an appointment with him and I'll treat him to a meal!"
Yang Yi’s second request to agree is to hope that he can have more interaction with book fans on his personal website.
"It's impossible to interact every day!" Yang Yi said to Lu Benjie, "It's set once a week, and I will show up from time to time."
Lu Benjie also recorded it.
"As for the last request," Yang Yi pointed to the screen and smiled slightly, "I want me to sing to the fans at the signing party. This is fine, and I also want to sing a new song for everyone, a new song that belongs to them!"
Lu Benjie wrote with excitement, then raised his head and asked, "What song? What's the name?"
Yang Yi smiled and said, "You will know this then!"
Chapter completed!
