Choose a day to become famous

After some inquiries, Lu Yanhe learned that the filming of the movie "Nineteen Years of Crime Records" had many problems. First, the casting of the movie itself was full of twists and turns, which led to the delay in the filming of the movie.

After the filming started, various problems occurred in the filming.

The main problem was that there were great differences between the director and the actors, and there were conflicts between the actors. There were quarrels on the set almost every day.

The director quarreled with the actors, and the actors quarreled with each other.

And such quarrels led to repeated revisions of the script.

Two screenwriters left the group.

In the end, the actors found the original author Liu Jiazhen and asked him if he knew that his story had been changed.

When Liu Jiazhen heard this, he was shocked and immediately contacted the people from Jiangyin Publishing House to communicate with Ruyi Pictures.

Ruyi Pictures was already troubled by the problems in the crew. Facing the questions of Liu Jiazhen and Jiang Yin, the contact person was also perfunctory.

The implicit meaning is that you have already authorized it. It is clearly stated in the contract that the producer can adapt the original work according to the actual shooting situation. You should not regard this movie as your work. Your opinion is not that important to us. There are many factors to consider in film and television adaptation. It is not based on the opinions of the original author. Compared with your book, the production cost of a film and television project is several more zeros. If you don't understand, don't believe it.

This is Liu Jiazhen's first novel adapted into a film and television. He has no experience in dealing with film and television companies, and he didn't expect that the person who used to call him Teacher Liu would suddenly change his face and ridicule him unceremoniously.

If Liu Jiazhen is more experienced, it would not be the first time he has faced film and television adaptation.

If the person who contacted Ruyi Film had a better attitude and didn't ridicule Liu Jiazhen so directly.

Maybe things wouldn't have escalated to this point.

Liu Jiazhen was angry and wanted to withdraw the authorization for the movie.

Only then did the people of Ruyi Films know what kind of mess the person who was in contact with Liu Jiazhen had made. They immediately changed someone to contact Liu Jiazhen, apologized, and explained the reason, hoping to get Liu Jiazhen's forgiveness.

Liu Jiazhen was very angry. The key point was that the script of the movie was indeed changed into a mess, and it couldn't justify itself. He solemnly proposed that the script must not be changed.

Ruyi Films also knew that the script had been changed into a mess, and it was helpless, but a project had been done to this extent, even if everyone knew that it was a pile of shit, it would not be abandoned halfway. So much money had been invested in the front, and Liu Jiazhen said that he wanted to change the script back at this time. Let's not talk about whether it was too late, what about the scenes that were filmed before? Reshoot? The money invested in the front has been filmed into a pile of shit, how can the reshoot guarantee that a flower can bloom?

The project has progressed to this extent, it is like a horse hoof with one foot on the edge of a cliff, and it is a bit difficult to turn back.

For Ruyi Films, it means at least making the film into a finished product, and recovering some of the cost at that time, which is better than letting it collapse into an unfinished building in the film industry now, which would be really bad.

In this context, Liu Jiazhen found Chen Siqi.

Liu Jiazhen couldn't swallow this breath, thinking that Chen Siqi and Lu Yanhe knew a lot of people in the entertainment industry, and there might be more ways to solve this matter.

After Lu Yanhe found out the situation, he was shocked.

First, such a wonderful story as "Nineteen Years of Crime Records" could be magically changed into a suspenseful crime film that could not justify itself, just because some actors wanted to add more scenes, and some actors had a falling out with the director, and refused to cooperate with the director's intentions and wanted to play another character.

Second, one of the male protagonists of this movie, Chen Ziliang, was actually one of the few people in this movie who didn't cause any trouble.

Lu Yanhe originally thought that he was the main person who caused the trouble.

Chen Ziyan said: "The leading actor of this movie is Chen Jiping, the one who has conflicts with you. The biggest conflict in the filming of this movie is the conflict between him and the director. He and the director have completely different understandings of this movie. The script was changed every time they quarreled to balance the conflict between the two of them. As a result, it got worse and worse."

Lu Yanhe frowned, "Don't they realize that the script has been changed into garbage?"

"They are angry and they are fighting for their breath at this time. I believe that with their professional abilities, they must have found that the script is getting worse and worse, but at this time, no one is willing to admit defeat." Chen Ziyan said.

Lu Yanhe was helpless.

"Ruyi Films doesn't care?"

"How?" Chen Ziyan smiled, "One is the director and the other is the lead actor. They haven't been absent from work, nor have they said they won't shoot. The project has been shooting, and the producer can only talk to both sides. But if they don't want to change, it's useless for anyone to come."

"Then if this happens, the matter will fail, and their reputation will be ruined. Who will ask them to shoot in the future? Ruyi will not ask them to shoot in the future? Aren't they worried about this?"

"On the one hand, both people must feel that the thing is the other person's fault, not their own. On the other hand, it's okay for you to think about it from a rational point of view, but if everyone can remain rational, then we will There won’t be that much news.” Chen Ziyan smiled, “Maybe in their own eyes, their behavior is still their persistence in art.”

Lu Yanhe showed a look of disbelief.

Can't understand.

Chen Jiping is not a very good person, but he has always been highly regarded professionally. After becoming famous with the spy drama, he has acted in many movies and received good feedback. There is no rumor in the industry that he is a drama tyrant or anything.

As for the director, Zhang Qiang is also a senior director and has made many movies. How could he have such a conflict with Chen Jiping on this film?

He's not the kind of newcomer who loses his head and loses his mind in a flash, and no one can bring him back.

It's really rare for them to insist on being stubborn with each other for their sakes.

On Thursday, Lu Yanhe made an appointment with Liujiazhen to meet him.

"Brother Jiazhen, how is your new work?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Liu Jiazhen looked miserable and said, "Don't talk about it. I have been so upset and annoyed by the movie adaptation of "Nineteen Years" recently that I can't calm down and write a book."

Lu Yanhe saw that Liu Jiazhen looked really depressed. He said, "Brother Jiazhen, it is really helpless to encounter this situation during the filming of "Nineteen Years", but we took a look at the contract you signed with Ruyi Pictures. There is no way to interfere with the contract. When a movie has been started and filmed for so long, it is difficult to change their shooting ideas at this time. "

Liu Jiazhen complained unceremoniously: "They had a stupid idea. They were just messing around. They said they wanted to make a classic suspense crime film, but the result was this."

"Have you seen their script?"

"I saw it, it made my blood pressure rise." Liu Jiazhen sighed as he spoke.

Lu Yanhe: "I really hope I can help, but I haven't had much dealings with Ruyi Pictures, and I can't talk to them."

"Forget it, I've already given up. I signed the contract myself. I have no experience, so I'll take it as a lesson." Liu Jiazhen said with a face full of disappointment. "At that time, I thought that the film and television adaptation would make this book more popular. People know that to drive more sales, I really don’t know what to say now.”

"Film and television adaptation is definitely a good opportunity, especially in this era when IP is prevalent and film and television adaptation can bring greater influence to the author. However, even if the film and television adaptation fails, it will not affect "Nineteen Years of Crime" The book itself is good," Lu Yanhe said, "and besides the movie, there is also a TV series. We also have the opportunity to adapt it into a TV series."

Liujia Town has a very different status in Lu Yanhe's heart.

He was Lu Yanhe's first entry into the publishing industry and the novel circle. Because I accidentally read this book in my live broadcast room, which promoted the sales of this book, I later became associated with Jiangyin Publishing House, and also led to many subsequent cooperations.

Lu Yanhe certainly hopes that Liujiazhen's creative career will be better.

Therefore, when he knew that it was difficult to change the movie adaptation, he had the idea of ​​​​using his own power to help the TV drama adaptation do a better job.

Liu Jiazhen said helplessly: "The film and television rights of "Nineteen Years" were packaged and sold to Ruyi Pictures, and the rights to adapt the series are also in their hands."

Lu Yanhe was stunned.

Packaged and sold?

Liu Jiazhen said: "Given the current situation, Ruyi may not be planning to develop a drama version anymore."

Generally speaking, if the film and television copyrights are all in the hands of one company, they will definitely want to develop them jointly. But if the one that comes out first messes up, the ones that follow will also be affected and be relegated to the sidelines.

Lu Yanhe thought for a while and said, "Brother Jia Zhen, please leave this matter alone for now. I don't have the power to interfere with the movie version. I'll see if I can think of a way to adapt the series."

Hearing this, Liu Jiazhen was a little confused, "What are you going to do?"

"I'll see if I can buy the rights to adapt the series." Lu Yanhe said.

The next day, Friday.

The day when the third episode of "Seventeen Floors" is aired.

On this day, everyone on the stage in Beijing was thinking about this matter.

Over the past week, Beijing and Taiwan's propaganda campaign about "Seventeenth Floor" has not only not diminished, but has intensified its firepower.

In particular, Beijing and Taiwan have finally done a lot of targeted publicity and marketing around the concept of watching the premiere together in Beijing and Taiwan.

For example, during the advertising breaks, a lottery will be conducted by scanning the QR code to draw peripheral gifts from the main creative staff. Of course, as soon as this event was announced, many netizens ridiculed it as plagiarizing the Northern Lights video.

Another example is to combine two social platforms to create a "Watch the Premiere" activity, highlighting the information point that "this Friday at 9:30 p.m., "Seventeen Floor" will be broadcast exclusively on Beijing and Taiwan", and then use various Reward or gift activities.

All in all, it is to use money and stars to achieve the effect of attracting traffic.

There are so many actions, just waiting to see the results tonight.

-

When Deng Siyuan and Jiang Lan met in the corridor, the former could hardly conceal his anger and disgust towards Jiang Lan.

On the contrary, Jiang Lan looked calm and gave Deng Siyuan a look indifferently.

"The promotion work was well done this week," she commented.

But this condescending tone of evaluation irritated Deng Siyuan even more and made him angry.

"Director Jiang, the publicity this time is done according to your wishes. If the ratings don't go up tonight, don't blame the people in our publicity department. We are different from your leaders. I can’t afford to carry such a heavy burden.”

Jiang Lan smiled slightly, looked at him, and said: "Why don't you pray that the ratings will go up tonight? If the ratings don't go up, then of course you haven't done enough publicity work. Otherwise, why would this show be on Northern Lights Video?" So good?"

Deng Siyuan's cheek twitched.

"You are already in your forties, don't act like a child. You are just here to hang out and let your performance speak for itself." After Jiang Lan finished speaking, she nodded lightly to him and left.

Deng Siyuan felt as angry as if he had been lit with gunpowder.

-

Of course, Deng Siyuan hoped that the ratings of "Seventeenth Floor" would still be stagnant tonight, which would prove that it was not his previous publicity strategy that was at fault, even if he used Jiang Lan's tactics, it would be useless.

But Jiang Lan didn't buy it at all and kicked the ball to him.

Anyway, she grasped the fact that "Seventeenth Floor" was broadcast well on Northern Lights Video, and firmly established that "the content of the show is not problematic", and she had the opportunity to be invincible.

Deng Siyuan took a deep breath.

He had fallen too hard in "Six People" before. Although it did not shake his position, it still put him in a somewhat embarrassing situation. Whenever others need to target him, this is a ready target. You can take it and use it, he still has nothing to say.

So angry.

-

Lu Yanhe ended a brand event and went to attend an interview event.

On the way, Wang Biao, who had been his assistant for some time, had been paying attention to the news on the Internet.

"Brother Lu, the trailer for the third episode of "Seventeen Floors" is on the hot search again." Wang Biao said in surprise, "You are on it too."

Lu Yanhe smiled and did not answer.

On their mobile phones, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang had already replied in the group.

Regarding his desire to buy the rights to adapt the series "Nineteen Years of Crime" himself, Li Zhibai said: If you want to do it, just do it.

Yan Liang said: Is there anything we need to do?

Lu Yanhe said: I also talked about this with Sister Ziyan. Sister Ziyan said that because the movie adaptations are very bad now, you may hit a wall when making dramas. She said that the actors are a little superstitious, and a previous adaptation will not go well. If the story is adapted into a TV series, the actors will be very worried and afraid to take it. Didn't I think you were quite suitable before? Are you willing to perform?

Li Zhibai: Please make it clear first, whether you want me to come or Yan Liang to come.

Li Zhibai: But what do you have to ask about this kind of question? You ask both of us. As long as we have time, no one will come.

Li Zhibai: I look down on you for asking this kind of question.

Yan Liang: Seconded.

Lu Yanhe: I actually thought about it, otherwise I would have calculated it myself.

Yan Liang: Yes, why don’t you act?

Lu Yanhe said: I'm asking you first. I have recommended you to the film producer before. If any of you want to act in this movie, I will act for you.

Yan Liang: I read the movie script at that time, and I actually wanted to try playing a bad guy. I had never acted before, and I was still such a pervert.

Lu Yanhe: Well, I also think this character is very challenging.

Li Zhibai: Let’s not just let the three of us do this. I can see that you want to act, and Yan Liang also wants to act. To be honest, I also want to act. We might as well organize an audition then and let the director Choose who is suitable.

Yan Liang: Hahaha, I think this idea works.

Lu Yanhe: How can He Dehe invite you here to audition for the second male lead? You are all A-list stars.

Li Zhibai: Damn, forget it if others say such things. When you say such things, don’t think I can’t see the corners of your mouth curling up when you type, right?

Yan Liang: Seconded.

Lu Yanhe: Why do you second the proposal on everything?

Yan Liang: I am stupid and can only echo what the council said.

Li Zhibai: If you have the consciousness, follow Brother Bai and enjoy the hot and spicy food.

Yan Liang: Bah.

Lu Yanhe: Same.

Putting down his phone, Lu Yanhe looked at the sunshine outside the window and smiled.

Wang Biao saw Lu Yanhe smiling and asked, "Brother Lu, what are you so happy about?"

Lu Yanhe said: "Nothing, I just chatted with Li Zhibai and Yan Liang. We just have to talk about the schedule later today, right?"

"Yes." Wang Biao said, "It will be over at about 5:40, and you can go back to rest."

"Will it end at 5:40?" Lu Yanhe thought for a while and said, "Then you can find a restaurant nearby and make a reservation. If they have no other arrangements, we can invite them to have dinner together before going back. "

Wang Biao: "Okay, keep it on me."

Although he is young, Wang Biao is very energetic in his work. He is very active in everything he does, and is not afraid of being tired or troublesome.

Even Chen Ziyan said privately: "I thought this guy was an Internet celebrity and just wanted to make quick money. He couldn't calm down and actually do things. He was just bluffing. I didn't expect him to be quite capable."

Now that Lu Yanhe has Zou Dong and Wang Biao by his side, he can finally operate. It is not so difficult when he is busy and he can only rely on Zou Dong.

Everything is thriving. (End of chapter)
