MTL - The Ace Producer-Chapter 33 Adaptation of film and television drama

Ye Zhen has been a little annoyed recently, because she found that, as a mathematician, she even made mistakes in her calculations—Rong Chengjue's understanding of "half a year" had a serious deviation from her original intention.

She wanted to tell him that this bowl of soup was poisonous, and it would be known in half a year.

As for Mr. President, he took this agreement as a reassurance.

So someone who used to use all kinds of sense of presence, but occasionally knows how to calculate the frequency and find excuses, is now completely let go.

And be justified.

Rong Chengjue: Anyway, you will be my girlfriend in half a year, let's get used to it in advance!

Ye Zhen: How did you understand what I mean? !

In fact, Ye Zhen really doesn't understand a man who wants to fall in love. That's basically you throwing concrete over his head and he can make flowers on his own.

What's more, she also promised not to like others.

This is different from confession.

So Mr. President is going to work harder. After dealing with Rongyu's personnel changes, he exudes an aura of "retreating without incident", he is too lazy to talk to those lovers, etc., seize the time to stick to Ye Zhen, and work hard to improve his status as soon as possible.

As a producer, Ye Zhen had the first small communication meeting with the director, screenwriter, and author of the original work. The CEO was not left behind, and Xi Gu was even attracted.

Xi Gu: As the leading actor, I don't need to appear so early!

To this, Rong Chengjue only said three words: "Bai Qiutang."

Xi Gu immediately confessed, and dutifully played games with someone during the meeting, and listened to Ye Zhen and the others talking about heavenly scriptures.

Li Qing is the one who preaches and teaches, and I don't know what Chen Ming told him. Now he looks at Ye Zhen like his own daughter, and he regards "President" as his own project: "Such a long web novel, What is the first step in adaptation?"

"I'm willing to delete it."

"Youth idol-themed dramas generally range from 24 to 35 episodes in China. They are broadcast in various youth theaters or weekly theaters. They are not too long. If you look back at the content of the novel, 30,000 to 50,000 words are enough. .”

Just because I saw Xi Gule flying up to the sky, tears filled my eyes instantly: "Do you really want to delete it? I can't delete it..." She wrote more than four million words, three to five million words are less than the total number of words Fraction. This is not cutting her flesh, this is cutting her to only one piece of flesh!

"Hey, don't cry. At this time, my role will be revealed. If you are reluctant, I will delete it for you."

The person who made this joke was Rongyu's own gold-medal screenwriter, Shepherd Boy, who writes things that are both commercial and artistic, and he is a clever and wonderful person. Before Rong Chengjue promised Fei Feiwu that he could find a well-known screenwriter to take her with him, and this was the one who introduced her. During this time, the shepherd boy and Fei Feiwu got along pretty well, so when "President" opened, she came here naturally.

It is impossible for the screenwriter of the director Chen Ming to be a newcomer, and everyone knows this well.

Therefore, Fei Feiwu himself was not obsessed with it. He asked for the original work and the author's key publicity pragmatically, and turned his head around as a "creative consultant" to continue to follow the experience points.

But I didn't expect to be abused like this: "My text, 5555—"

"Don't worry, I didn't delete it casually. We need to do market research and ask for your opinion. How about," the shepherd boy patted her and said, "You can narrow down the summary first, and we can use it for reference?"

"Okay." Feeling better, Fei Feiwu turned on the computer and adjusted the outline he wrote earlier with a "crash".

This small communication meeting was supposed to be a meeting of the main creative team to decide on a certain direction for the adaptation. At this time, seeing Fei Feiwu started to work, everyone didn't bother her, and started chatting about other things.

Chen Ming smacked his lips, and said to Li Qing: "This IP is better than I thought, why don't you come here?"

Li Qing said: "It's all set, brother, if you shout, I'll follow, is there any difference? Besides," he paused, with some earnestness, "For so many years, Brother Ye persuaded you to switch to business. Try, it's not that you can't make literary films anymore, why do you bother? Could it be that you look down on us who only make money?"

"Hey, okay, okay, I'll shoot!" Chen Ming said, then turned to Ye Zhen and said, "Nephew, cough, Ye Zhen, shall we name Director Li as a producer?"

Ye Zhen was flipping through the candidates for various positions in the crew, and raised her head when she heard the words, "Well, okay." The producer is mainly responsible for balancing the artistic creation of the director and the commercial attributes of the play, and it is reasonable for Li Qing to hold this position. suitable.

Li Qing smiled, and did not refuse: "Then I will be disrespectful."

"Hey, don't say that, with you here, I have a solid foundation in my heart."

"It's impossible to talk about..."

The two directors respectfully respected each other, and Fei Feiwu suddenly raised his head and said, "Actually, after two million words, there are plots of dog abuse by the hero and heroine, amnesia, cheating, and having children, or everything else." deleted?"

Director Li and Director Chen turned their heads and said in unison: "No way!" If you don't have a baby, how will Ye Yi get the trick that Ye Yi wanted for his daughter?

"Ah? Why?" Fei Feiwu was at a loss. Could it be that the directors also like to watch dogs being abused?

Even the two who were playing the game raised their heads when they saw how emotional the leaders were.

Rong Chengjue said, "Why not?"

"The two directors do not agree to delete all the plots of the original work after two million words." Ye Zhen was the first to react, and found a reasonable excuse for the two directors, "I guess, it is probably because I am worried that this will make people feel uncomfortable. Fans of the original book think it’s not over?”

"Yes," Director Chen continued without a pause, "That's what I mean."

Director Li thought about it for a while: "Well, how about this, the main plot ends when it's time to end, and a small part of the plot is kept at the end, where the hero and heroine love each other and give birth to a child, as an epilogue?"

"Okay, this is good." Fei Feiwu continued to bow her head, typing "crackling".

This female author has dealt with Ye Yi through the screen, so she doesn't know what she said. Chen Ming touched his heart that was still beating "plop plop plop", and decided to dismiss the irrelevant people, especially Rong Chengjue, so he said: "Ye Zhen, there is nothing to do here, the rest are all Let’s discuss the details of the content adaptation, you, the producer, take Rong Cheng’s boss and Xi Gu to dinner first.”

Compared with how to change the plot, attracting investment and code team is what the producer should do. There is nothing wrong with what Chen Ming said.

Ye Zhen also knew what he meant, so she stood up cooperatively and said, "Okay, then let's go first."

Xi Gu had already lost several games in a row, so he immediately responded after hearing the words: "Okay, okay, let's go eat. I remember that there is a restaurant upstairs in the clubhouse that has good Japanese food. Let's go eat?"

Because there is Fei Feiwu, the author of the original work, the meeting place today, Ye Zhen is in the clubhouse of Rongyu, not the company. The entire building here belongs to the Rongcheng Group, and the security and privacy are also guaranteed. The Japanese food upstairs is actually opened by another subsidiary.

Having dinner nearby, Ye Zhen and Rong Chengjue naturally had no objections, and said goodbye to the people left behind, and a group of three people left the club room, waiting for the elevator, and waiting to go upstairs.

Then, the moment the elevator opened, something **** happened.

Rong Chengjue saw the people in the elevator clearly, and for a moment he didn't know whether to be happy or worried: "Dad, Mom, are you here for dinner? My cousin is here too, did you just come back from Macau?"
