Chapter 800 800. Competition

Chapter 800 800. Competition

So far, these three books written by Nie Wei are still regarded as classics by countless book friends, so Wang Zhonglei is also a little undecided on how to adapt these three books.

Although the decision will not be made until Nie Wei returns to China, this does not prevent Wang Zhonglei from asking people in the company in advance to see what they think, after all, it is a matter of brainstorming.

"If you have any ideas for "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", "Nirvana in Fire" and "Zhu Xian", please feel free to mention it." Sitting on the main seat, Wang Zhonglei gave orders like a general, and these senior executives below are his A group of military staff.

As soon as Wang Zhonglei finished speaking, he immediately saw someone standing up. He took a serious look and saw that this wasn't Lin Xiang, the director of the company's newly established online drama department.

"Mr. Wang, I am here to give you a military order. These three novels will be adapted for us. I guarantee that their average online clicks will exceed 100 million. If not, you will directly remove me from my position." Lin Xiang said loudly.

But before Wang Zhonglei could respond, a director of the TV series production department was unhappy.

"Lin Xiang, these are Mr. Nie's works. Wouldn't it be a waste to use them to make web series for you? I think we should make TV series first, rely on the TV series to attract the audience, and then wait for the TV series to become popular and release the movie. work."

"What is waste? Our department was established by Mr. Nie himself! Moreover, at the last meeting, Mr. Nie said personally that our online drama department will become an undesirable force for the company, and the potential for future development is even greater. I want to surpass you, so don’t underestimate others, give us good works, and we will definitely produce good dramas!" Lin Xiang retorted without showing any signs of weakness, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

After all, the department has been established for three months, but there are no results that can be produced.

You must know that when he first established this online drama department, he was full of confidence. Especially after hearing Nie Wei's impassioned words, he vowed to make a career.

But these three months have made him clearly understand that the online drama market is indeed full of potential, but the level of development is indeed frighteningly low. Now he is like being suddenly thrown into a deep mountain forest that has not been inhabited for hundreds of years. The company has lost I just gave him a hatchet and ignored him. Every step he took, he had to overcome obstacles and was a pioneer on this road.

So the more this happens, the more he craves good resources, such as the rights to adapt the three novels that Wang Zhonglei offered this time.

As long as he can get any one of them, the 'hatchet' in his hand can be turned into at least a logging machine, and as long as the situation is opened up, the next road will naturally be much easier.

"But the production strength and broadcast platform of your online drama department are completely incomparable with our TV drama department." Another director of the TV drama department stood up and choked, looking at Lin Xiang with a disdainful expression, and said with a smile: "I think you should consider other works more. Mr. Nie's classics should be produced by our TV drama department and then broadcast on regular TV stations."

"Who do you think you are? Just give us a label. Who says the works we produce are not as good as yours? Moreover, online platforms are easier to promote. Even Mr. Nie is more optimistic about the future of online platforms."

"Yes, you also said that Mr. Nie is optimistic about the future of the Internet platform, not the present. I will tell you now. No matter you ask any director in the industry, he will answer you that he prefers his own TV series. Put it on the TV station!"

"You are biased, I will prove that no one of us has to be wrong!"

"With what proof? Mr. Nie's works? Don't be kidding me. If you fail to prove it, who will be responsible for the damage to the reputation of the work?"

Wang Zhonglei also didn't expect that the TV drama department and the online drama department would start to quarrel at the beginning of this meeting, so he quickly knocked on the table to signal both parties to calm down.

Wang Zhonglei had expressed his stance, and Lin Xiang couldn't say anything more. He just expressed his determination to Wang Zhonglei once again.

"Zhao Lei, don't you represent your film department, please tell me?" Wang Zhonglei did not give Lin Xiang a clear statement, but asked Zhao Lei who was standing aside.

"Mr. Wang, I have nothing to say. These three works are all suitable to be turned into movies, but I think the most suitable one is the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series. This series can be like the foreign "Harry Potter", with a Come out as a series, after all, each chapter is actually a complete short story, and it is also very exciting." Zhao Lei replied with a smile.

"Yeah." Wang Zhonglei nodded. In fact, he also felt that the most suitable one for immediate adaptation is the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series. Just like what Zhao Lei said, every unit of this novel is a complete one. story, and what Huayi lacks now is this kind of series of movies.

After all, as long as the first part of this series of works is successful, it will always have a fixed audience group, which also means stable box office revenue. The more series of works a film company can launch, it also means that the company The stronger the company is.

At this time, Hu Ming, the company's vice president sitting at Wang Zhonglei's lower left position, also expressed his opinion.

"I agree with Mr. Zhao. Ghost Blows Out the Light is currently the most suitable work to be adapted into a series of movies. Moreover, through Assassin's League, we have seen the technology of Mr. Nie's special effects company. With their technology and such an excellent story, I believe it is not difficult to show a mysterious world of tomb raiding. I think this series has a very high possibility of becoming our company's signature movie series."

"As for Zhu Xian and Nirvana in Fire, I think they are more suitable to be produced as TV series. After all, they are the kind of stories that are closely connected before and after, especially Nirvana in Fire. The power struggles involved in it will make the story incomplete no matter which paragraph you remove. If it is adapted into a movie, it is difficult to condense it. After all, this novel is really full of essence."

Hu Ming's analysis was very accurate, and everyone present nodded unconsciously when Hu Ming spoke.

When Hu Ming finished his speech, Zhao Lei nodded without comment. The main competition today was actually between the TV series production department and the online drama production department. After all, both of them were producing serial dramas, but they chose different platforms for broadcasting.

Logically speaking, it would be best if they could cooperate, but unfortunately, where there are people, there are fights. The online drama production department was holding its breath to come out, while the TV series production department simply looked down on the few green hands on the online drama side.

Zhao Lei couldn't help but smile and shook his head when he thought of this. He felt that Nie Wei might have really made a wrong decision this time. Why did he have to create another online drama production department? Why bother?

To put it bluntly, Zhao Lei was not optimistic about the online drama production department in this competition between the TV series and online drama departments.

"How about this, both of you don't fight for the time being, go back and write a plan, and then wait for Nie Wei to come back, we will have a meeting to discuss, and then Nie Wei will personally designate which work you can produce, that's it, let's adjourn the meeting." Wang Zhonglei announced.

Before leaving, Wang Zhonglei glanced at Lin Xiang. He was not optimistic about the online drama department that Nie Wei had created. He always felt that the powers of this department and the TV drama department were basically the same. As for the issue of the broadcasting platform, can't the TV dramas produced be broadcast on any platform?

Just after Wang Zhonglei decided to adjourn the meeting, a group of people at the scene gradually left the meeting room.

The content discussed in the meeting room had spread throughout the company within just ten minutes after the meeting ended.

"Binbin, have you heard that the company is going to start the three novels that Nie Wei wrote at the beginning? Among them, it has been confirmed that "Ghost Blows Out the Light" will be adapted into a series of movies. This is a good opportunity." After hearing the news, Fan Binbin's agent immediately called Fan Binbin who was running activities outside.

When he heard that it was "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and it was going to be adapted into a series of movies, Fan Binbin was also very excited.

"Sister, is there any specific news, such as when the project will be established, and whether Nie Wei will be the director?" Fan Binbin was excited, but still kept a certain calmness and began to ask for specific details.

"Not so fast, but we have to plan ahead. Mr. Nie is definitely the one who has the decision-making power. If you are really interested in this role, he will return to China in two days. Let's visit Nie Wei then."

"Let's talk later, sister, I'm hanging up first." Fan Binbin hung up the phone and sighed unconsciously.

She had read "Ghost Blows Out the Light". At first, she just wanted to have more common topics with Nie Wei so that she could flatter the boss. But after reading the beginning, she couldn't stop and was completely attracted by the novel. Then she read it many times without realizing it.

As for the main female characters in the novel "Ghost Blows Out the Light", she didn't need to read the novel again, and she remembered them clearly in her heart.

And the character that moved her the most was naturally Shirley Yang, who formed the iron triangle with Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan.

This character is wise, mysterious, an extremely charming woman, and very adventurous, otherwise she would not have become a member of the iron triangle.

The most important thing is that the only important female character who can run through the entire "Ghost Blowing Light" series from beginning to end is Shirley Yang. It can be said that she is the absolute heroine of this work "Ghost Blowing Light".

Although Fan Binbin wants to play this role from the bottom of her heart, she also understands that even if it is her, this role is not so easy to get.

Let alone others, Li Binbin, who is in the United States at this time, is the most powerful opponent in her eyes.

Originally, after playing "My Love from the Star", Fan Binbin, who played two hit movies in succession, was definitely more famous than Li Binbin, but no one could have imagined that Nie Wei would choose Li Binbin as the heroine of "Assassin's League", and this movie has sold so well at the box office.

To date, the cumulative box office of this movie has reached nearly 1.3 billion, which is a miracle. Before this, who would have thought that one day the box office of a movie would exceed 1 billion?

It is precisely because of this that Li Binbin, as the heroine of this movie, has become more popular and has now surpassed Fan Binbin by half a level.

Moreover, Fan Binbin also believes that the other party's image is actually more suitable for the role of Shirley Yang than her own. Of course, it is impossible for Fan Binbin to give up just like that. Before the final result comes out, she will definitely not give up on fighting for this role.

Even in Fan Binbin's eyes, this role could be a way for her to open up Hollywood. When she thought of this, she would not allow herself to let go of this role.

For big stars like Fan Binbin, she had already received the notice before the meeting was over, while for small stars like Zhao Liying, her agent didn't get the news until the news spread all over the company, and then she called Zhao Liying.

At this time, Zhao Liying was choosing lunch boxes for the crew. When she saw her agent calling, she hurriedly put the lunch boxes she had just chosen on a small table beside her, and said to an actress who was filming with her, "Please keep an eye on it for me, don't let others steal my food."

"Don't worry." The actress agreed very well. After Zhao Liying turned around and left, she immediately opened Zhao Liying's lunch box and put the two lonely ribs in it into her own lunch box.

Not knowing that her lunch box had been stolen, Zhao Liying found a remote place after leaving the temporary house and answered the phone.

"Sister, what do you want to talk to me about? Do you have a new job?" Zhao Liying asked very actively as soon as the call was connected.

"No new job." Zhao Liying's agent replied, and heard Zhao Liying's undisguised sigh of loss on the other end of the phone, and couldn't help but smiled and said: "But there is good news, do you want to hear it?"

"Yes, yes." Zhao Liying said that she couldn't wait to know it when she heard that it was good news.

The agent didn't play any suspense and directly told Zhao Liying the news he had just received.

"Liying, this is a rare opportunity. The company is likely to launch three dramas at the same time. We will put "Ghost Blowing Light" aside for now, but I think you can fight for "Nirvana in Fire" and "Zhu Xian", especially "Zhu Xian". The characters in it are about the same age as you, which is exactly what actors of your age should play."

"But sister, from what you said, there must be many people competing for such a good work. How can I compete?" After hearing this news, Zhao Liying backed off a little. In her opinion, the agent praised these works so well. Can a young actor like her really play them?

Upon hearing Zhao Liying's unambitious words, the agent immediately became anxious.

"Liying, you have been in the company for two years. Do you want to play small roles all your life and remain unknown all your life? When the opportunity comes, we must fight for it. We can't retreat just because the competitors are strong. If you don't fight, how can you stand out in this circle?"

"And have you forgotten who was optimistic about you at the beginning?" The agent emphasized.
