I'm a Director, I'm Not Bad Chapter 593

  Chapter 593 591. Copyright dispute

   "You really grew up together..."

  Wang Sicong looked at the people who were busy with their faces, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

  He actually had a very good impression of the city of Xi'an.

   Not only because my friend is from Shaanxi, but also not only because my "career" is here.

   It is the temperament that has been exuded from the Guanzhong Plain since ancient times.

  Don't mention anything else, just make noodles, how does he think these old Shaanxi people like it.

  Large bowl, heavy oil, snore...

   Regardless of men, women and children, a large pot of noodles can give you all you can eat.

   And the scene in front of him is simply a synthesis of his knowledge of the old Shaanxi people.

   Because of work, no one drinks.

  Drinking Coke, when the dishes are ready, bowls of noodles will be served one after another.

   A group of people are all big bowls of noodles.

  Only myself...

  He is so hungry with this amount of food, at most it is a small bowl.

   Then, holding his own small bowl, he watched the group of people adding spicy peppers and pouring vinegar. Even whoever likes to eat knows what they like. For example, Xu Yang finished adding the vinegar and handed the bottle to Xu Cong next to him...

  Xu Cong directly bypassed Xu Xin and handed it to Xu Zhi.

  Xu Zhi also handed over the oily and hot pepper in front of him...

   Silently, the tacit understanding came out.

  Then a group of people stopped talking and started to work hard.

  The sound of snoring, combined with the knocking of the bowl and chopsticks... Wang Sicong hasn't eaten this bite yet, and the saliva has already begun to drool in his mouth.

  After hearing his words, Xu Yang looked up...

   "What?"

   "It's nothing, it's just that you ... feel. It's quite strange, and it feels like you are eating together very harmoniously."

  Xu Yang is happy:

"Haha, is it? I have been eating like this since I was a child. At that time, the village was poor, and they all held yellow porcelain bowls and ate together. After eating, they put the bowls on the threshold and went to play in the mountains. Go wow."

   "Brother...what the hell?"

   "Ge Cu means squatting."

   "Oh~~"

  Looking at Wang Sicong who suddenly realized, Xu Yang said:

   "I've been busy this year, and the weather is bad now. Next summer, let's go to wash sand. You can stay in my village for two days..."

   "Meidi hate wow?"

  Listening to what the young master said, Xu Yang nodded vigorously:

"Um!"

   "Haha~"

  The young master with a big appetite mixed the noodles in his bowl with chopsticks, and began to eat with a snort.

  The gates of carb heaven opened up for him once again, completely surrounding him.

   Without drinking, eat quickly.

  After the meal, Xu Xin wiped his mouth, and the big guys did their own things.

  Xu Yang still wanted to drag him to dance.

   There are many friends here in Xi'an.

  But Xu Xin refused, took the proposal of "The King of Masked Singer", and went straight to the Royal Garden with Wang Sicong.

  People in Xujiawan basically have a house in Xi'an, so it doesn't matter where they go.

  As long as you don't drink and drive, you can talk about everything else.

   Neither of them drove.

   Just like digesting food, I strolled from the factory to the villa.

   Along the way, I was chatting here and there.

  There was no one else at the moment, so the young master finally said something heartfelt to him:

"Thanks."

   "Thank you for what?"

   "Wang Xiao... about Wang Ying."

   Wang Sicong, who was so bald and bald, fell down and slapped himself directly:

   "Bah! Bad luck!"

  Xu Xin couldn't laugh or cry:

   "Are you really killing me?"

   "What else? I can't think of her now, I feel bad when I think of her..."

   "...how uncomfortable?"

"I can't say... On the one hand, I feel blind, why did I suddenly get on top. On the other hand, I feel scared... Mainly because of the shadows... Just... I don't dare to think, you understand? I don't dare to think about what kind of girl I have to find. Only in order to enjoy...not to enjoy, anyway...just..."

   Seeing that he would not be able to sum up for a while, Xu Xin said:

   "Pure love? Not for your money?"

"right!"

  Looking at the busy traffic on the street, Wang Sicong nodded vigorously.

   But Xu Xin suddenly felt a little emotional:

   "So, the wisdom of the ancestors is amazing. The family is really good at saying this word..."

   "Pull it down quickly."

  Wang Sicong's eyes are full of disgust:

"You don't see much. Do you know how many things that subverted your three views have happened in the kind of marriage that I have heard since I was a child? Don't mention anything else, the couple are playing their own way. Small fights. Some things sound like fantasy stories to you."

   "I'm not talking about this. It has nothing to do with money. I'm referring to the three views."

  Xu Xin corrected his cognition:

   "The three perspectives are the same. At your level, the economic foundation is not important anymore. What you need to find is the kind... who can make up for you and make you more complete. For example, Yang Mi and I..."

  It's good that he didn't mention Yang Mi.

  When Yang Mi was mentioned, Wang Sicong sighed directly:

   "Oh... I also want to find Dami."

  Xu Xin's eyes suddenly became strange.

  Wang Sicong was also taken aback...then quickly shook his head:

"No, what I mean is, I also want to find someone like Dami. Do you know what I hope for Wang Xiaoben? At first I liked her simplicity, and then...after being together, I wanted to Transition her to Dami's level. Dami didn't know everything at the beginning, right? Wasn't it also taught by Uncle Xu? I thought I would teach first, and then talk about marriage. I will let my dad teach she…"

  For a while, Xu Xin was speechless.

   Now it seems that Wang Ying really "missed" a lot of things.

   And until now, he can only comfort:

   "Take your time. Fate is still quite amazing."

   "Yeah... we can only take it slowly."

  Wang Sicong smiled helplessly, but suddenly put his palms together and bowed to the sky:

   "God bless, bless Jay Chou and Lang Lang to be single with me until I find a girlfriend!"

  Xu Xin's mouth twitched.

   You are such a good friend.

  Know not to piggyback on me.

  But the problem is...

   "The old werewolf has a girlfriend."

  Hearing this, Wang Sicong clasped his hands together again:

   "God! I forgot to say it just now, bless Lang Lang and break up quickly! Then before I find a girlfriend, neither of them can think about it! Please!"

   Spit.

  Xu Xin secretly spat.

  Ah, what a grandson.

  But he didn't dare to express it, for fear that he would worship God behind his back and mess up himself and his wife.

  Worshiping the gods made him understand.

  He has finished reading the proposal for "The King of Masked Singer".

   The overall feeling is okay.

  As I said at the beginning, this program does not emphasize so much competition, but is purely for singers to show off their singing voice.

  So on this basis, Wang Sicong's thinking is very simple.

   "Centered on oldies."

  According to his words:

"Which young people watch TV nowadays? They all watch it with a computer. They can find whatever programs they want to watch directly on the Internet. So the mainstream viewers of TV now are those who are over 30 or 40 years old and can master the words of the remote control. People with power. If you want to make a show, make them the audience. Old songs, classic songs, and then change singers to perform..."

   have to admit.

  This proposal is really excellent.

  Xu Xin didn't have the slightest thought of refuting.

   Because it is.

  Not to mention anything else, the couple never got the power of the TV set at home in recent years.

  In the morning, the mother-in-law wants to watch Yanjing TV's health program, and in the afternoon watch Yanjing TV's anti-war TV series. The news broadcast at 7 o'clock in the evening. After the news broadcast is over, you still have to watch the kind of programs that... mediate neighbor relations, couple harmony, and the like.

   Then watch a TV series on a certain station at 8 o'clock on time, and when 9 o'clock comes, wash your feet and go to bed.

  He firmly believes that the situation in his family is definitely not an exception.

  From this point of view, the target group of friends is simply too clear.

   "It used to be great."

   "It's out of date now."

   "Sing other people's classic songs."

   "Let everyone guess together."

  Although there may be changes in the later stage, such as using some younger singers on the show...but the concept of the first season has already been written into the plan.

   is fairly explicit and clear.

  The two chatted until close to 10 o'clock, and it was almost time, so they went to bed separately.

  Before going to bed, he also called Yang Mi, wanting to tell her about it.

   As a result, people already knew about it.

  I'm currently studying it.

  Then everything else is fine, he hung up the phone directly, was completely stunned, and felt that he was on the 9th.

  The morning of the 9th.

  The official meeting of the "33 Days" crew.

   After confirming that all the links were correct, a group of people went to the studio and checked again.

   After confirming that all the requirements of Director Xu have been met, everyone disbanded.

  At 2:00 p.m., the actors gathered at the Art Creation Center.

  Xu Xin led Su Meng into the conference hall.

   Seeing the director coming, everyone sat up straight.

   "Hi everyone."

  Xu Xin greeted with a smile.

  Now he actually doesn't have to hold meetings as formally as he did in "The Wind".

   "The Sound of the Wind" is due to the fact that there are many powerful actors, and everyone has their own temper. As a director, he must be able to restrain this group of talents.

  But in this crew, and at this stage, he no longer needs that kind of "intimidation".

   His tone was warm and his expression was calm.

   But his status can be seen from the upright appearance of these actors.

   "Don't be so nervous, today is a brief briefing before shooting."

  Xu Xin sat down while talking:

   "I believe that everyone knows each other. So the work of introducing each other is omitted, and I will simply talk about the requirements.

  The requirements are very simple. First of all, no interviews of any kind are allowed without the consent of the crew. If the personal itinerary allows, please ask for leave in advance, and then in the personal itinerary, you must not disclose any news about the crew, movie, script..."

Jingle Bell…

   Before he could finish speaking, a ringtone interrupted his words.

   is his own phone.

   Glancing at the caller, he directly picked up the phone and handed it to Su Meng next to him.

  Su Meng held the phone knowingly, looked at the name "Zhang Mo" on it, and walked out quickly.

  Xu Xin continued:

   "Secondly, in terms of acting skills, everyone is free to play. If you feel that my handling of a certain paragraph is not good enough, or can be better, you can come and communicate with me, and we can discuss together."

  Everyone, including Wen Zhang, nodded slightly to express their understanding.

   "The last point is the shooting plan. The plan is to finish all the interior shooting in Xi'an within half a month. The exterior will return to Yanjing to shoot... The plan is to finish all the shooting within one month...

   You have all read the script. In fact, our filming is not difficult, and you don't need to be too nervous. The presence of all of you means that your performance level during the audition has already met my requirements. So you just need to stay in good shape and show your best side..."

  The gentle tone and approachable attitude made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

   After saying everything that should be said, Xu Xin glanced at Xue Yong.

  As the assistant director, he is going to explain tomorrow's work plan.

  Xue Yong nodded tacitly, and stood up holding his notebook:

"Let me talk about the filming process of the crew. During the next filming period, if there is no accident, the requirement is that the actors should finish their makeup before 8:00, the preparation period is from 8:00 to 9:00, and the filming will start at 9:00. Cloudy, rainy, The wind and other weather will be announced separately…”

  Xu Xin sat on a chair, listening to Xue Yong's work plan.

  At this time, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Su Meng outside the glass door.

   Seeing him turn his head, Su Meng pointed to his phone.

  Xu Xin understood in seconds, got up and walked out.

"What's wrong?"

   "Brother, Sister Mo asked you to call back, saying that it is about the crew of "Jinling"."

  The reason why Zhang Mo did not go to Venice with him this time, and came here to work as an assistant director, is because she is the assistant director of "Jinling".

   Now "Jinling" has finished all the training in Nanjing, and returned to the suburbs of Yanjing for the final round of actor selection. As an evaluator, Zhang Mo has been in Yanjing for a long time.

  When Xu Xin heard Su Meng's words, he reckoned that something must have happened.

   Otherwise, Sister Mo had no reason to tell him that it was about the crew, to express the importance of the call.

  So he dialed back directly, and pushed open the door opposite the meeting room.

   Opposite is also a conference room, empty.

  He didn't even let Su Meng follow. After closing the door, Zhang Mo got through the phone:

"Hello."

   "Hey, Sister Mo, what's up?"

  He cut straight to the point.

   "Is it convenient to talk now?"

   "Convenience, you say."

   "My dad and Zhang Weiping got into an argument."

   "Well, why is it noisy? Is it serious? How many people know?"

  Xu Xin's voice was unusually calm.

"It can't be considered noisy. Just now, the two of them were arguing in the room, and no one else was there except me. Now Zhang Weiping is gone, and my father went to see an actor training, so I called you. The two of you It's not a quarrel, it's the kind...I don't agree with what you said. I don't agree with you, and my dad gets angry..."

   "... you wait first."

  Xu Xin was taken aback:

   "Who is angry? The old man? Isn't Zhang Weiping angry?"

   "No, it's my dad."

   "What's going on?"

   "Have you met Yan Geling?"

   "The original author of the book "Jinling"? I met her once. She was there during the audition. But I'm not familiar."

   "It's like this. The copyright of "Jinling", before Aunt Zhou (Zhou Xiaofeng) recommended it to my dad, Yan Geling had already sold the copyright to a company.

  My dad bought it after seeing it. But when buying the copyright, the company sold the adaptation rights of TV series and movies separately.

  My dad only wanted to buy the copyright of the movie at first, but then he was afraid that the same thing as "To Live" would happen..."

   "Is someone filming a TV drama to spoil the situation?"

"right."

  The two were talking about when the old man was filming "To Live". At that time, the old man was already the leader of the fifth generation. After he got the copyright of "To Live" from Yu Hua, the news was leaked.

   Everyone knows that the old man is going to make this movie.

  At that time, Yu Hua's copyright was also with the publishing house, and someone immediately found the publishing house to buy the TV series copyright of “To Live”.

  The publishing house didn't think too much about it at the time, and sold the copyright of the TV series.

  But the buyer found the old man at that time and conveyed a meaning.

  Do you want this copyright? If you want, add one million and you can buy it. If not, then we will start filming TV dramas, and we will definitely be able to release them ahead of you.

   Regardless of the quality, Chunchun is here to spoil the situation.

   To put it bluntly, it belongs to earning black-hearted money.

  Later it was Yu Hua who found out about this and put pressure on the publishing house to take back the copyright.

  Although the process of receiving was very smooth, but the favor fell a lot.

  Those who rely on relationships to scare them.

  The factory also worked hard back then, otherwise the other party would never have been able to obediently spit back the copyright.

   And when Zhang Mo talked about this, Xu Xin understood the meaning:

   "The copyright of the TV series is also owned by the old man now?"

   "It's gone...the two quarreled because of this."

  Zhang Mo sighed helplessly:

"After taking the copyright of "Jinling", he didn't actually plan to make a TV series, just to ensure that the same thing as "To Live" wouldn't happen again. And for so many years, my dad has made a hit, and a certain The TV series copyright of these works has become the "revenue generation" of the new screen, you know what I mean?"

   "Understood, then why are you arguing?"

"Because many film and television companies are in contact with Yan Geling. Yan Geling and my dad are also on good terms. In fact, there is no need to buy the copyright of the TV series. She promised that the copyright of the TV series will never be released before the movie is released. Even if it is sold, it will be in the TV series. The contract stipulates that it will be released after "Jinling" is released.

   Moreover, those companies that buy copyright are actually willing to do so. My dad made the movie popular, and it became popular... Just like "Red Lantern" and "Red Sorghum", isn't the popularity of the TV series also brought about by the movie?

  But in order to prevent future worries... Yan Geling gave away the copyright of the TV series "Jinling" almost as if it were free. It means that you hold it first, and when the news comes out, I will buy it back and sell it to others. "

   "The old man agrees?"

   "I agree, the two are good friends, otherwise Yan Geling wouldn't have given the cabbage price."

"Then what?"

   "Then? Huh..."

  Zhang Mo sneered:

"I really didn't expect a person to go this far for money. After the news of "Jinling" spread, we are now hiding in Yanjiao, and there is a film and television company in Yan Geling who wants to buy the TV series copyright of "Jinling" .

   And I promised again and again that the preparation of the TV series will be specified in the contract, and it will start after my dad's film enters post-production. In this way, after the movie is released, the TV series should also be filmed, and both sides can be released front and back.

  The copyright of the TV series "Jinling" itself is the price of cabbage. My dad is very grateful to her, and personally promised her that the copyright of the TV series "Jinling" will be returned in full, and there is no need to buy it back. And guess what? "

  Hearing this, Xu Xin thought with his toes and knew what happened.

   said:

   "Zhang Weiping sold the copyright?"

"That's right! He didn't even ask my dad, he sold it directly! Do you know how much it sold for? Eight million! My dad bought it for half a million, and he sold it for eight million! And!! The most important thing What's more, the person he sold was an acquaintance of Yan Geling. After he got the copyright, he told her that the copyright is now in his hands, and he hoped that she would adapt the script!"

   The corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched and he lit a cigarette for himself.

"Yan Geling didn't ask my dad, but directly asked Zhou Xiaofeng if it was true. She thought it was my dad who was doing the same thing in the open and secretly. What happened. Then I called Zhang Weiping to ask what was going on...Zhang Weiping's meaning is very simple, the copyright is our own after buying it, and we can deal with it as we want...My dad said to return it to others. But now the contract has been signed... Both People started to quarrel. My dad is very angry..."

   Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Xu Xin said it was a surprise... quite a surprise.

   It's not surprising, but I think it's “reasonable”.

  So, he thought for a while and said:

   "Did the old man say what to do next?"

"No, there is no way to talk about this matter. What else can he do besides being angry about the matter that is done? No, I called Yan Geling to apologize. I will call you quickly and want to ask Is there anything you can do... It's so annoying, really!"

"Well…"

   da da da da...

  As he fell into thinking, his fingers with the cigarette in his hand began to tap on the table unconsciously.

  The soot fell down crackling.

   After thinking about it, he said:

   "Well, let me think about it. Since the matter has already happened, let's not mention the copyright matter. This matter is about how to get angry, isn't it reasonable?"

   "Yes! This is so **** annoying! This person is too much! How can this be..."

   "...Well, let me think about it, I'll hang up first."

"okay."

  Hung up the phone, Xu Xin narrowed his eyes.

   Soon, a cigarette was burned out.

   But he didn't take two puffs at all.

But that's okay.

   After lighting another one, he already had a vague idea in his mind.

  Following this train of thought, after he pondered along the road...

   Another cigarette effort.

  Suddenly, there was a chuckle in the conference room:

   "Ha~"

  Looking at the scattered soot on the table, he muttered to himself:

   "Before I was worried that you would be completely down-to-earth... No, I caught your tail."

   After thinking about something, he dialed back directly to Zhang Mo.

   "Hey, Sister Mo, I want to ask you something."

"What?"

   "I remember you said last time that there is a related account in "Jinling". Is it Zhang Weiping's assistant or something?"

   "He Jun, the niece of Assistant Zhang Weiping."

   "Let's find a way to kick her away?"

  Xu Xin said with a smile.
