Full-time actor

Chapter 204 [31] Copyright of "Sword of Immortality"!

"Sorry, I'm late!"

Although Ye Daying said this, there was no trace of embarrassment on his face. Instead, he sat down on the other side of Jiana Shahati. Zhang Li sat next to him; and the other two men who came in with him, He sat on Zhang Li's right hand side.

"Let's serve, everyone is here!"

Ye Daying was talking there. As soon as Chen Yu was about to stand up, Jiana Shahati had already pushed him down and walked out of the box by herself.

"Chen Yu, we have met before!"

Ye Daying suddenly smiled, and Chen Yu hurriedly approached him and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Director Ye!"

"You know me?"

"That's for sure. I've seen Director Ye's movie "Red Cherry"!"

"What about the others?"

Ye Daying asked back, looking a little playful; Chen Yu quickly said: "There is also "Red Lover"!"

"You can't take other pictures, right? Hahaha!"

Ye Daying himself smiled, but Chen Yu felt a little embarrassed.

This is indeed true.

"Red Lover" was released in 98 and earned more than 3000 million at the box office. It was also the box office champion that year.

Then his other works have little popularity. "Qianlong Dynasty" has just been broadcast on CCTV, with average response and poor ratings.

"Director Gao, Mr. Liu, Chen Yu, let's get to know each other!"

"The just-concluded Berlin International Film Festival won the best actor and international best actor, and he is only 19 years old!"

Ye Daying said to the two people next to Zhang Li. Director Gao smiled at Chen Yu. Mr. Liu was very polite and extended his hand to shake Chen Yu's hand. He was indeed an investor in "Toward a Republic"—— Liu Wenwu.

Director Gao is another producer and investor of "Toward a Republic".

The background is huge—Director of the Film and Television Department of CCTV, Vice President of International Television Corporation!

2 years ago, he was the first secretary of a certain TV station.

Without this person's name, "Toward a Republic" would not be a success.

Popular dramas broadcast on CCTV such as "The Granary of the World" and "Kangxi Dynasty" all have his name on them.

Soon, Jana Shahati walked in.

Then various Shandong dishes were served one after another.

Chen Yu drank this time, but he had no choice. In such an occasion, if you don't drink, you won't give face. If you have to choose between drinking and the future, any normal person will know to choose the former.

Because the meaning it can bring is far greater than not drinking.

The wine table culture is deeply ingrained in China, and you can't escape it. It can only be said that if Chen Yu can stop drinking, he will definitely not drink.

"Is it almost 8 o'clock?"

Zhang Li looked at the time and realized that their premiere party was real this time, but more importantly, he still had to pay attention to the ratings of the premiere of "Toward the Republic".

Therefore, it is basically impossible for the TV series to end until it ends.

"It's early, there are still 20 minutes left, the focus interview is not over yet!"

As Liu Wenwu spoke, he raised his wine glass: "Director Gao, I'd like to offer you a toast. Please look after me in the future!"

"We'll talk about the future later. You haven't finished "Toward the Republic" yet, and you're thinking about the future?"

Gao Jianmin smiled and pressed his hands slightly.

Liu Wenwu said helplessly: "Yes, we need to prepare for a rainy day. This history is getting more and more advanced, and there are no good scripts in the Ming and Song Dynasties, so I want to ask for your guidance!"

"Is there any good business from International TV recently?"

Liu Wenwu asked, but Gao Jianmin did not hesitate. Everyone present must be trustworthy, and it was not a secret. Since Chen Yu could sit there, it was equivalent to one of his own.

"I'm trying to grab a copyright recently. It's very interesting. Do you want to hear about it?"

Gao Jianmin smiled, and Ye Daying hurriedly said: "But it doesn't matter, I just like to hear gossip!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed.

"Have you all heard of Tomb Raider?"

Gao Jianmin talked about a topic that even Chen Yu was a little stunned.

These four words, uttered by a person in his 50s, are as strong as the feeling of déjà vu when your parents say "Genshin Impact" and "Glory of the King" in future generations.

But unexpectedly, many people here nodded: "I know!"

Even Zhang Li knew it.

"Director Gao, is it a game or a movie?"

Ye Daying asked.

"Both, have you heard of the game before?"

"I heard it!"

Feng Ji grinned: "I've even played it on the computer!"

"Is that a game hit or a movie hit?"

"That must be a movie!"

Ye Daying smiled there and said: "I only knew it through the movie. It turns out that this damn game is actually adapted from it. Can games be made into movies these days?"

"That's right!" Gao Jianmin sighed: "The times are changing, and we have to keep pace with the times. Do you know how much this movie earned at the box office last year?"

"$2.74 million!"

"23 billion yuan!"

Gao Jianmin shook his head: "It's really an exaggeration. A movie adapted from a game can sell 23 billion, so this is a market, a big market!"

He looked at Liu Wenwu, who immediately smiled bitterly: "Then I don't understand the game either!"

"Haha, so we are old!"

"Our marketing department has analyzed that after the game is adapted, it will become a hit; this type of copyright, like history, military, etc., has a built-in audience, and moreover, it tends to be younger!"

“The benefits are worth more!”

"The benefits of DVDs will be even better!"

Young people have strong consumption power, which is applicable to any generation.

"Hey, Director Gao, didn't you seem to be talking about this just now?"

Ye Daying remembered it. Didn't Gao Jianmin say he was grabbing some copyright at the beginning?

"That's it!"

"Recently, the head office also wants to test the waters and see if there are any suitable games at home or abroad that can be adapted into TV series!"

"Let's not even think about movies. If we can't compete with Hollywood, we will be at least a hundred years behind others. For TV series, maybe we can find a way out by changing the track!"

"Fuck!"

Chen Yu was originally just a quiet observer. He was the youngest in this game. He talked less, listened more and kept a low profile. This is Chen Yu's current approach.

Even when Gao Jianmin talked about Tomb Raider, he didn't say a word.

Although he knew that "Tomb Raider" started a trend of global game copyright adaptations; the box office miracle of game adaptations created by the first "Tomb Raider" was only broken by "Warcraft" 15 years later in 16. Lose.

But it's broken, and its influence is completely unmatched by "Tomb Raider".

The global revenue of 01 million US dollars in 2.74 and the 16 million of "World of Warcraft" in 4.32 are completely different concepts.

"Tomb Raider", this is definitely the originator.

The most phenomenal film in the world the year before last, domestic VCD and DVD pirated copies were sold like crazy. Starring Angelina Jolie also became a global hit with this film and became a well-deserved money-maker in Hollywood.

Before that, she was actually not very famous. She won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 00.

It can be said that she is the first female star in the world to make a lot of money from traffic. She has no acting skills, and her appearance and figure are just that. There are many people in Hollywood who are better than her, but they can't stand up to her popularity!

Fire all over the world.

Therefore, the game adaptation started with "Tomb Raider".

Now, the country has apparently begun to realize that game adaptation can make a lot of money, and it is CCTV International.

Listening to Gao Jianmin's words, Chen Yu instantly thought of a TV series adapted from the game - "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"!

It's definitely this one.

The current "Sword of Immortal" game is at the forefront among domestic computer games; its reputation is not inferior to "Tomb Raider" at all, and it is even more popular in China because it is China's unique fairy tale style. game.

"Isn't CCTV trying to compete with Tang Dynasty for this copyright?"

Chen Yu felt an uproar in his heart. In his previous life, he had never heard of how the Tang Dynasty bought the film and television adaptation rights of Fairy Sword.

Is it possible that this is taking advantage of CCTV?

This is too courageous, right? !

"Do you know what the boss of the copyright company we contacted said?"

"He actually said that CCTV cannot produce TV series well!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone here laughed a little, this is simply a joke!

Who in the whole of China dares to say that there is a film and television company that is better at producing TV series than International Television?

I don’t want to mess around anymore!

China International Television Corporation, a subsidiary of CCTV, is the state-owned enterprise that sells the best Chinese TV series in the world. All CCTV dramas with names that can be named are produced by this company.

If you need money and people, what kind of TV can’t be filmed?

"You really can't film "Sword of Immortal"!"

Although Chen Yu was also laughing in agreement, he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

When thinking of the extremely formal CCTV production, Chen Yu felt that the scene in "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was definitely going to change; it was like a cynical guy suddenly transformed into a veteran cadre.

CCTV and others also want to adapt games. Can you adapt them? You can't change it, you don't have the ability.

Yes, your business ability is strong, and the filming of TV series is suddenly a mess, but you don’t understand the market and the hobbies of game fans. If you are superior, you will definitely not be able to do it.

This is just like the later Hollywood adaptation of "Mulan". Hollywood is awesome, right?

What you filmed depends on the defense. You don’t even know what Mulan’s costumes looked like in that era. How can you satisfy the Chinese audience?

The main audience group of "Mulan" is in China; and the audience group of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" must be watched by game fans first, right?

Otherwise, how can you become famous?

In his previous life, Chen Yu was still looking forward to the Netflix version of "The Three-Body Problem". What kind of defense can he produce?

"So our marketing department is at loggerheads with that copyright. If you think we can't film it well, then we must take it down and film it for you to see!"

"Not to mention, the copyright is quite popular, and many film and television companies are working on it!"

"The game business has a bright future. The boss of the game company even took the initiative to contact the media at that time, saying that they wanted to collaborate on the adaptation together!"

"..."

Gao Jianmin was talking there, and everyone thought it was a joke.

But Chen Yu was almost certain that he was talking about "Sword of Immortal", and that the game company boss was none other than Yao Chongli, no, Yao Zhuangxian.

However, Liu Wenwu was quite concerned about this matter and secretly chatted with Gao Jianmin; while Zhang Li seemed to be uninterested. He looked at his watch frequently and suddenly said: "It's starting. At 8 o'clock, "Toward the Republic" will premiere. Got it!"
