Chapter 211: A ten million offer, double the Hollywood standard!
Although copying and pasting is one of the company's strengths.
But "Dancing for a Thousand Years" seems to have anti-theft turned on.
When I really wanted to copy, I found that the biggest problem was not copying.
But [strength]
If you want to create content, you must have strength.
Some content cannot be copied.
If you really want to copy it, there is only one way, which is to directly pry over the People's Academy and the troupe, and then make a magically modified version of "Dance for a Thousand Years".
But I don’t say whether the audience will criticize it.
The Academy would not do this in the first place.
The appearance of food can be ugly, but it cannot be completely absent.
The fig leaf can be small, but it cannot be ignored.
"If we want to catch up with this trend of traditional culture, we can't imitate it. It's best for us to create our own. Anyway, the idea is here, and we will do it the same way."
After making a decision.
A new variety show setting has been released.
"Youth Chinese Style"
Group into groups, establish projects, and then recruit troops.
It seems that I want to take a bite in the wave of national style set off by "National Treasure" and "Dance for a Thousand Years".
In the process of recruiting troops.
The person in charge was thoughtful.
He looked at the project assistant and asked.
"Tell me, can you invite Li Jinglin?"
"If he comes, this variety show will be simple."
But I listened to the person in charge.
The assistant shook his head again and again.
There's even something wrong with his expression.
"No, no, I don't think it's possible. There are not many variety shows he has appeared in that have not caused trouble."
Zhu Li counted with his fingers.
Counting the variety shows that were persecuted by Li Jinglin over the years.
""Huan You" started working with Lao Zhang, but Lao Zhang was gone. "New Hip Hop" started working with Lao Wu, but Lao Wu was gone, and the program was almost gone."
"Then why don't you talk about "Chinese Wind" and "National Treasure"?!"
The person in charge couldn't help but roll his eyes.
There is no metaphysics.
It's all about scaring yourself.
"That's just someone trying to commit suicide. If we are smarter, what does it have to do with us?"
"."
The assistant also knew exactly why something happened.
You also know that this is not actually metaphysics.
However, who can guarantee that there will be no problems at all?
In case there is any problem.
Isn’t this numb?
".I still don't recommend that you go find Li Jinglin. This person is a bit evil."
"But if he is here, he will not only gain huge popularity and enthusiasm, but he can also serve as a professional guest. Inviting one Li Jinglin is equivalent to inviting two people. Isn't this pure profit?"
The person in charge patted his thigh.
"I'll come to Li Jinglin in two days to talk about this matter. I'll contact him first."
"."
Seeing that he could not be persuaded, the assistant curled his lips and said nothing.
I just cursed in my heart.
Don’t you have any points for the variety show you put on?
Who are those people? Don’t you have any idea?
If Li Jinglin is really invited, there may be problems.
The program team of "Young Chinese Style" is considering this issue.
At this time, the program team of "Three-Body" is also considering inviting Li Jinglin.
It's not the same as "Young Chinese Style".
The crew of "The Three-Body Problem" was completely stress-free.
Producer Lin Dong has just finished the high-level personnel structure of the crew, and has not even started to select actors.
So I made an appointment with Li Jinglin in advance.
"This is the project document, please take a look at it, Mr. Li."
Lin Dong carefully handed over the project document.
It feels like "showing it to the leader".
Generally speaking.
A soundtrack.
In other words, it may not even be a soundtrack.
Just a collaborator with the slightest connection.
There is no need to read the project book at all.
But that scores points.
If it were anyone else, Lin Dong, as the chief producer, wouldn't even come to see it.
"Hmm, that's quite interesting."
Li Jinglin raised his eyebrows.
"Three Body"
It’s science fiction again.
They are all the works of Da Liu.
I took a closer look at the project plan.
Li Jinglin was somewhat surprised.
This novel has a lot of content that cannot be accommodated by a movie. Therefore, after buying the copyright, a certain company did not think about turning it into a movie, but thought about using the narrative rhythm of a TV series to express the story.
"Is this technology available now?"
“In other words, can funds support this technology?”
Li Jinglin couldn't help but ask.
after all.
Compared with the difficulty of shooting "The Wandering Earth", it is obviously more difficult to express "The Three-Body Problem".
Water droplets, three-day volley, and people lined up on a computer. In theory, these are quite easy to photograph.
But a lot of the stuff behind it is a bit ridiculous from a shooting perspective.
Just send it to Trisolarans who can become dehydrated.
The four-dimensional space of The Lord of the Rings fell into three dimensions, and the two-dimensional foil turned the three-dimensional space into two dimensions, a dead line.
The difficulty of expressing several stories of Prince of the Deep is even more outrageous.
"Don't worry about this. For now, priority is given to filming the first part."
Lin Dong smiled slightly.
"Don't aim too high. Let's finish filming the first part first."
Li Jinglin nodded.
I have carefully looked at the general project content.
Can it be done.
You can basically tell it at a glance.
"Okay, not bad, let's talk about the treatment."
Li Jinglin chuckled and nodded.
"No problem, absolutely fine."
Li Jinglin’s refreshing level.
Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, as if he was a little surprised.
But actually.
The reason why Li Jinglin agreed so readily was simple.
Because of.
The director has no say in the content.
Ok.
Neither did the screenwriter.
They all fight to death according to the content of the original book.
Unless there are some screenwriters or some difficulties in the filming process.
Let's discuss it together again.
"Our screenwriters and directors have read "The Three-Body Problem" countless times."
Lin Dong smiled slightly.
"I picked it out word by word. Even a sentence of dialogue will be combined with the context to write a speech, as well as an analysis of emotions and expressions. These things are very detailed, and there are also marked notes. Mr. Li, we will show them to you when the time comes. .”
"Yes, respect the original work, this is completely fine."
The reason why Li Jinglin agreed readily.
It’s because of respect for the original work.
Well known.
Everyone wants to see the adaptation because there are a large number of fans of the original work.
but.
There are always those who are retarded and self-righteous, thinking that fans of the original novels are different from fans of movies, TV series, and anime.
This kind of mental retardation mostly occurs in screenwriters, directors, or related positions.
There is a bit of "pretending to be high-minded", and I feel that my plot handling is artistic.
In fact, in the eyes of the audience, it is not only trivial and petty, but also mixed with a lot of poison. The originally thrilling plot will be changed into something that looks suffocating and aggrieved.
[I always like to point out other people’s works across industries and have no idea of my own abilities]
Commonly known as falling ill.
Once such a person becomes ill, the adaptation will lead to diarrhea.
So, this time, the crew of "The Three-Body Problem" decided.
I'll just play it real with you. I'll film what I write in the book. If you want to scold the book, don't scold me. We are just content carriers.
It does not please the so-called "general audience", but focuses on pleasing the "original author party".after all.
Lin Dong thinks.
Even if the original work is changed, it may not please the general audience, and it may easily offend the original people. If it is not changed, the original people will like it very much. The first-time viewers may feel that there are some problems in watching it, but they may not necessarily be dissuaded.
"In terms of treatment, we come up with this number."
Lin Dong raised a finger.
Smile.
"1000 million, twice the salary of a soundtrack engineer for an S-level project in Hollywood!"
"Buy out?"
Li Jinglin was stunned.
This price is already extremely high.
In the soundtrack industry, those who can earn 400 million are considered masters among masters.
Sky-high soundtrack fees.
Those who dare to be like me, not playing with the fixed price, but only playing with the share, are the few in the industry.
After all, if you divide this thing, maybe divide it for ten years, sometimes you may not be able to match the fixed price, and there is a considerable risk of being sold out, which is not worth it.
"No, no, you misunderstood."
Lin Dong smiled slightly.
He handed the contract template he had drawn up in advance to Li Jinglin for viewing.
"This is a gambling agreement."
"We set a profit line."
"If it doesn't arrive, it's equivalent to a 1000 million buyout, and I'll give you a guarantee. If it exceeds, then we'll share it."
Speaking of it.
Lin Dong smiled mysteriously again.
He seemed confident and believed that Li Jinglin could 100% accept the conditions he proposed.
“In domestic film and television, music is paid very little attention, and investment generally only accounts for less than 1%, and it is difficult to allocate the share to the soundtrack. However, Europe and the United States attach great importance to the soundtrack, and investment can often It is as high as 5% to 8% of the cost, and the revenue sharing situation is also much higher than that in China.”
"We made a compromise on the share ratio, 6 percent, which is enough to prove our sincerity."
have to say.
This split is really outrageous.
Li Jinglin glanced at Lin Dong suspiciously.
"The treatment is indeed good, but it's a bit too good. There won't be any problems with your show, right?"
"."
Lin Dong was stunned when he heard this.
after all.
This treatment is indeed a bit outrageous.
Change the domestic soundtrack market.
Why don't you just laugh at the fact that you can get six figures? How much does it cost for other music composers to pack it up?
Although, the soundtrack contracting work is a big project. For dozens of episodes of TV series, in addition to the voices of people and the sounds of props, you are responsible for all the music. The workload is really not small.
But 1000 million.
this price.
Still a bit outrageous.
It was difficult not to let Li Jinglin think too much.
Is this program team trying to do something crooked? Is this trying to drag me into trouble? !
"."
Lin Dong was startled.
But what Li Jinglin didn't expect was.
Lin Dong actually nodded seriously.
"You are right, we do have something and we would like to trouble you a little."
"."
Lin Dong was so straightforward that it made Li Jinglin calm down.
"Tell me."
"Um"
After pondering for a moment, Lin Dong raised his head.
"I don't know. Mr. Li, have you read the novel "The Three-Body Problem"?"
"I've seen it."
Li Jinglin nodded.
"I had read the original work before when I was working on the soundtrack for "The Wandering Earth". It was so exciting that I couldn't help but read this author's other works. "The Three-Body Problem" will not be missed."
"Then you should know that this first part involves quite a lot."
Lin Dong scratched his head.
His purpose was not secretive either.
He spoke directly.
"Content that is less likely to be released."
".!"
When it came to this link, Li Jinglin immediately understood what Lin Dong meant.
Relating to those contents.
If you still want to respect the original work.
Then we definitely need to bring some people with status and good words to the platform.
"I understand what you mean."
Li Jinglin nodded.
"Let me say this and see if you can accept it."
At this point, Li Jinglin raised his head.
"After all, in this kind of plot, once someone has a little crooked mind, then the filming may go off the mark. I can only say that I can help a little within the appropriate scope, but the crew must also make corrections. Prepare."
"Of course, if it's really too much, there's nothing I can do about it."
Hearing Li Jinglin's words.
Lin Dong nodded hastily and agreed.
Count on Li Jinglin alone.
That is certainly unrealistic.
Both of them knew it.
Moreover, Lin Dong asked Li Jinglin for help. This help was definitely not to open a back door.
Even if Lin Dong was mentally retarded, he would not be able to do such a thing.
Of course, opening the back door won't work, but if it's within a reasonable range, let Li Jinglin help you a little bit when it's time to cover up.
That's enough and quite worth it.
"Okay, so be it!"
Li Jinglin nodded and immediately agreed.
After all, I didn’t ask myself to do anything extra.
It's just a business-related favor.
Then there is no need to rush to say no.
Check the terms of the contract carefully.
I thought about my work schedule again.
Even if it is confirmed.
"Okay, that's it."
Li Jinglin nodded and stood up.
Shaked hands with Lin Dong.
"Pleasant to work with."
"Happy cooperation!"
The two walked out of the cafe smiling.
After having a meal together, Li Jinglin returned to the apartment and began to sort out work documents.
While this was being sorted out, a phone call came.
"Hello, Mr. Li, I am the chief producer of the variety show "Young Chinese Style" owned by a certain company."
Li Jinglin was stunned.
A certain factory again.
Why is there always a certain factory lately?
The front foot is TV series, and the back foot is variety shows.
But Li Jinglin didn't think much and continued to listen to the chief producer's introduction to the variety show ideas.
However, Li Jinglin became more and more strange the more he listened.
"What we plan to do is a national style creative competition that integrates traditional culture, mainly singing and dancing."
A variety show competition that integrates traditional culture into works?
Listen to the introduction on the other side.
Li Jinglin pondered for a moment.
"Did the program team invite any cooperating academies or teachers from the industry?"
"Or in other words, what I want to ask is, these contestants are probably some... well, what level are they?"
"The players we plan to invite will mainly be teenagers and young and energetic newcomers."
Hearing this, Li Jinglin's brows suddenly jumped.
Although the producer is trying his best to cover it up.
But Li Jinglin still smelled a "pit".
The traditional Chinese culture.
integrated into the work.
The players are mainly young newcomers.
Play together?
So many seemingly good elements are integrated together, but in fact it is very messy and overwhelming.
"Can you tell me in detail?"
Li Jinglin raised his eyebrows.
I really became a little curious.
