Huayu started by giving the system to female stars

Chapter 255 254. Shooting of "Legend of Sword and Fairy III" will start next year

Seeing her dejected look, Wei Wu couldn't bear it.

After all, he was also helping Liu Tianxian attend the Spring Festival Gala and making suggestions, so it was not good to be too partial to others.

"Don't be depressed. Our company is preparing to produce a large-scale fairy tale drama next year. The production cost is expected to be as high as 60 million. I am going to let you be the heroine."

Yang Mi's eyes immediately widened, she couldn't help but arch her eyebrows, pointed to her nose in disbelief and said:

"Really? Me as the heroine? Single heroine?"

Wei Wu nodded and said, "Well, why don't you want to?"

"Yes, yes." Yang Mi immediately ran over. The little bird sat in Wei Wu's arms, hugged his face and kissed him again, and said happily:

“It was such a surprise, I couldn’t even believe my ears for a while!

"I originally thought that for this kind of opportunity, you would give priority to Liu Tianxian or Fan Bingbing!"

Wei Wu was a little dumbfounded. After all, Tang Xuejian/Xiyao was Yang Mi's famous role. How could they be treated by Liu Tianxian or Fan Bingbing?

The key is now that Liu Tianxian and Fan Bingbing are already famous enough! This role for one of them would be the icing on the cake at best.

Moreover, the compatibility between the two of them was not that high for this role. Even if the role was given to them, it would be difficult for them to perform well.

But for Yang Mi, it is undoubtedly a timely help, and she really needs this role now.

Because this role can help her complete a crucial step, which is to be promoted from a second-tier star to a top-tier player.

Helping Yang Mi become a top player is not only important to her personally, but also has certain positive significance for the company and even Wei Wu.

After all, if Yang Mi succeeds, this will be the first top-notch title that Wei Wu holds in his hands.

Although now Liu Tianxian and Fan Bingbing are the first and second sisters of the company.

But even before they joined Shu culture, they were already well-known top figures!

But when Yang Mi joined the company from Rongxinda, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" had not yet aired.

At that time, let alone a popular new star, she was not even a potential newcomer, she was just an ordinary actor.

If Wei Wu can promote her to the top in two or three years, how big of a stimulus will it be to others?

Then from now on, whether Shu culture is poaching people or recruiting new ones, does it still need to worry?

In Wei Wu's opinion, the role of Tang Xuejian should belong to Yang Mi.

Unless Yang Mi didn't sign a contract with him, this role would definitely be given to her, regardless of whether she is popular now or not.

But from Yang Mi's perspective, that's definitely not the case. In her opinion, this is Wei Wu's preference for her.

So at this moment, Yang Mi's eyes were almost filled with honey when she looked at Wei Wu.

But now, she was eager to know more details:

"Is it a fairy tale drama like "Legend of Sword and Fairy"?"

"Bingo", Wei Wu snapped his fingers and said:

"To be precise, our drama and "Legend of Sword and Fairy" are in the same series. As you know, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is adapted from the game.

"What we are going to shoot is the third part of the series, which is "Legend of Sword and Fairy III"."

After hearing "Legend of Sword and Fairy III", Yang Mi's expression became even more excited, but she suddenly remembered something:

"Wait a minute, how did I hear that the remake copyright of "Legend of Sword and Fairy III" is in the hands of Sugar Man?

It seems that after "Legend of Sword and Fairy" became popular, Sugar Man couldn't wait to buy the adaptation rights of "Legend of Sword and Fairy III". I remember there were reports at the time. "

Wei Wu explained with a smile: "That's true. The original film and television adaptation rights of "Sword and Sword III" were indeed authorized by Dayu Information to Sugar Man.

"So a few days ago I sent someone to contact Sugar Man and wanted to cooperate with them in adapting "Sword and Sword III", but I didn't expect that they didn't care about me at all.

"So I went directly to Dayu Information and offered them a price they couldn't refuse. I made them cancel the authorization, regain the copyright, and then sold it to me."

In fact, Wei Wu not only won the film and television adaptation rights of "Sword and Sword III" this time, but also won the film and television adaptation rights of "Chinese Sword and Sword IV" by the way.

After all, "Four of Sword and Fairy" is, apart from the main story of "Sword and Sword", the most popular and most praised edition.

To put it bluntly, even if Wei Wu doesn't take the picture, he can still hold it in his hand to avoid being ruined by others!

You know, the Douban score of the game version of "Sword and Sword IV" is 0.5 higher than the game version of "Sword and Sword III".

However, after "Fairy Sword 4" was adapted into a TV series, the Douban score was only 4.4, not even half of "Fairy Sword 3". I have to say it’s such a waste of natural resources!

The corner of Yang Mi's mouth twitched: "Candy man is so easy to talk to?"

Wei Wu stretched out an index finger on his right hand and shook it and said:

"How is that possible? "Sword and Sword III" is a money-spinner for Sugar Man! In fact, both parties have already filed lawsuits against each other in the local court.

“Then during the pre-trial mediation session, and finally after mediation, both parties dropped the lawsuit at the same time and reached an out-of-court settlement.

"Dayu Information took back the film and television adaptation copyright of "Sword and Sword III", and then compensated Tangren with the film and television adaptation copyright of the company's "Xuanyuan Sword 3: The Other Side of the Clouds and Mountains" and "Xuanyuan Sword 3 Side Story: Traces of the Sky". "

"Xuanyuan Sword", Yang Mi thought for a while and said:

"This seems to be another flagship series of their company. It is said that the game sales are also very good, and its popularity is not much worse than the "Sword of Immortal" series."

Having said that, the world view of "Xuanyuan Sword" is too complex, making adaptation relatively more difficult.

"Fairy Sword" and "Fairy Sword III" received rave reviews after being aired, with Douban scores as high as 9.1 and 9.0 respectively.

However, "Xuanyuan Sword: Traces of the Sky", directed by Li Guoli, the original cast member of Sugar Man, who is also the director of the "Sword and Fairy Sword" series, has a high ratings but a low rating. The key Douban score is only 6.8.

Of course, they are not as open-minded as Wei Wu. From the perspective of Sugar Man, if there is a high probability that "Sword and Sword III" can no longer be saved——

So actually getting the film and television adaptation rights for the two most famous works in the "Xuanyuan Sword" series is actually acceptable.

Mainly during this period, Sugar Man was very confident in its production level.

Since we can produce a well-received "Legend of Sword and Fairy", of course we can also produce an equally popular "Xuanyuan Sword".

And even if there is a lawsuit, Sugar Man's side has no chance of winning.

In the end, it was nothing more than wrangling for a few years, and then Dayu Information took back the copyright, and Sugar Man received some financial compensation. It was basically a lose-lose situation.

In fact, Tangren has been coveting the "Xuanyuan Sword" series for a long time, but the price offered by Dayu was too high, so the two parties have never reached an agreement.

Originally, Sugar Man was planning to wait for "Sword and Sword III" to be released. If the effect after the release is as expected, then even if the price of "Xuanyuan Sword" is higher, then they will admit it.

But if the ratings of "Sword and Sword III" are not as good as expected after it is broadcast, then "Xuanyuan Sword" is simply not available.

I didn't expect that the plan could not keep up with the changes, but in general, one "Sword and Fairy III" was replaced by two "Xuanyuan Sword", so it's not bad!

Yang Mi suddenly laughed: "Don't Mr. Cai of Sugar Man hate you to death?"

Wei Wu shrugged and said, "Isn't that right? She even said harshly that she would use "Xuanyuan Sword III" to have a good fight with our "Xianjian Sword III".

"By the way, teach me a lesson and let me know that fairy tale dramas are not that easy to film!"

"Then are you afraid?"

"Of course I'm afraid," Wei Wu sneered contemptuously:

"I'm afraid it won't come!"
