Orange Reading has brought the authorization letter, official seal, etc., and both parties have completed the legal review process in advance, and signed the contract with Huahai Entertainment and Ye Zhiqiu on the spot.

After a series of procedures such as signing and sealing were completed, many people in the conference room breathed a sigh of relief.

Orange Reading is very satisfied with the price of 40 million for the film and television rights of "Zhu Xian".

Shi Nuannuan's face was flushed, and she felt a little like a dream.

As Ye Zhiqiu's exclusive editor, the copyright of "Sword of Immortality" was sold at a good price, and she also received bonuses.

After reading the two books "Zhu Xian" and "Immortal Sword", her salary and bonus combined can almost cover the down payment of a two-bedroom apartment in a remote place in Shangjing City...

She never imagined that a book she signed on the website would cause earth-shaking changes in her life.

Everyone at Huahai Entertainment is also very excited. "Diaosi Man" can only be regarded as an appetizer. The TV series "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is when Huahai Entertainment can really show its talents in the film and television sector.

The copyright sale has been finalized, and the remaining specific TV series production issues have nothing to do with Orange Reading, but for Huahai Entertainment and Ye Zhiqiu, things have just begun.

First of all, it is the investment in this drama.

After soliciting Ye Zhiqiu's opinion on the expected production cost of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Huahai Entertainment initially estimated it to be between 100 million and 150 million.

At first glance, it seems that it is less than the 200 million originally proposed when preparing for the "Zhu Xian" TV series, but it is not.

Compared with "Sword of Immortal", the special effects requirements in "Zhu Xian" are much higher.

Monsters such as Kui Niu, Black Snake, Flame Beast, and Taotie... as well as frequently used spells such as Divine Sword and Thunder Control Technique, Killing Immortal Sword Formation, etc., all of which are created with special effects.

Every time a monster or a grand battle appears, funds are burning every second.

In this regard, "Sword and Fairy" is relatively "friendly".

Ye Zhiqiu said to Li Wenrui: "Mr. Li, there is no need to pay my part of the copyright fee. I can directly invest it as a shareholding in the TV series "Sword of Immortality"."

Ye Zhiqiu's words made everyone stunned. Li Wenrui thought for a moment and agreed.

All the executives of Huahai Entertainment looked at each other, and an idea suddenly flashed through their minds.

It seems that Ye Zhiqiu has more confidence in the drama "Sword and Fairy" than they do.

After the investment was confirmed, the question of forming the crew came.

After discussion, everyone at Huahai Entertainment unanimously decided that Ye Zhiqiu would play the role of chief screenwriter in the drama "Sword of Immortality".

The novel "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is extremely popular and has "brought its own traffic".

But Huahai Entertainment was under a lot of pressure to film this TV series. After all, if it messed up, the backlash in terms of traffic and reputation would be terrible.

Thousands of book fans can hate you to death.

In fact, when novels are adapted into film and television dramas, it is not uncommon for the original author to play the role of screenwriter on the crew.

Regarding the drama "Sword of Immortal", Huahai Entertainment's unanimous opinion is to restore the plot of the book as much as possible and not plan to make any "magic changes".

As for the understanding of every character and plot in the book, no one can match the original author, that is, Ye Zhiqiu.

When it's filmed, do you think it won't match the original work? Go talk to the author and screenwriter Ye Zhiqiu.

Another advantage of Ye Zhiqiu joining the group is that his identity as a singer also brings his own traffic, which is also a great publicity for this drama.

In fact, the original suggestion from the head of the film and television department, Lu Ping, was for Ye Zhiqiu to directly play the role of the male lead Li Xiaoyao.

Many people in Huahai Entertainment also agree with this proposal. If you can sing well, you can act well, and Ye Zhiqiu's image is also acceptable. As for the shortcomings of not having a professional background, but not having good acting skills, it doesn't matter.

After all, no matter who you praise, you don't want to praise anyone. Naturally, artists from our own company will be given priority to play important roles such as male and female.

I can teach you step by step and slowly, no matter how bad my acting is, it will probably not be worse than many popular actors nowadays.

In the end, Ye Zhiqiu thought about it and rejected the proposal.

On the one hand, there is the issue of the female protagonist. If she plays the male lead, it would be great if Yu Caiwei plays the role, but Yu Caiwei's cold temperament is not very similar to that of Zhao Ling'er or Lin Yueru.

When the time comes to play the role of myself and the heroine as a couple in a show of worship, tsk tsk tsk, that little jealousy will be turned upside down.

On the other hand, and also the main reason, he is really not idle now.

The "Singer" variety show is not over yet, and I will also produce songs for Phoenix Legend in the future. If I add acting, and I will definitely go through a painful learning stage at the beginning, I will probably be very busy.

It's better to slow down a bit first and don't take too big a step all at once.

TV dramas don’t have such strict requirements for directors, you can just find one yourself.

In terms of actors, Huahai Entertainment's background is much worse.

The initial plan is to first select among Huahai Entertainment's existing actors, and let our own actors take on suitable roles first.

However, there are too many actors involved in a drama. Of course, Huahai Entertainment cannot digest them all by itself. Moreover, the selection of actors for important roles must be very careful. They need to match the character's personality and temperament. For this part, recruitment information must be released and auditions must be conducted.

, casting, etc.

At this point, the general framework of the preparations for the TV series "Sword and Sword" has been determined. Huahai Entertainment moved very quickly and immediately entered a busy state.

Cheng Zi Reading came to the Huahai Entertainment Building for quite a long time. After Cheng Zi Reading was sent away, gossip immediately spread among the artists of Hua Hai Entertainment.

Ye Zhiqiu's popular novel "Legend of Sword and Fairy", the film and television adaptation rights were sold to his own company!

Huahai Entertainment is preparing to spend over 100 million to film the TV series "Sword and Sword"!

Actors for the TV series "Sword and Sword" will be given priority in casting among the artists within the company!

As soon as these pieces of news came out, it was undoubtedly equivalent to an earthquake that exploded among the cast members of Huahai Entertainment.

This is "Sword and Fairy"! It's almost a must-see TV series, and it was produced by our own company!

Is there any better opportunity than this? If I don’t work hard to get a role, I will slap myself twice!

All of a sudden, the actors of Huahai Entertainment took action one after another.

Some are busy inquiring about who is the director. Some are cramming in knowledge about the plot of the novel "Sword of Immortal", etc., and are familiar with the characters in preparation for auditions.

Especially when I learned that Ye Zhiqiu was the chief screenwriter and had a huge say in the choice of actors. Walking in the Huahai Entertainment Building, Ye Zhiqiu always met many actors and actresses who were so enthusiastic that their faces almost turned into chrysanthemums with smiles.

Ye Zhiqiu's status in Huahai Entertainment is very special, it can be said to be transcendent.

In addition to being the top artist in the Huahai Entertainment Pyramid, more importantly, his relationship with Yu Caiwei...

If it weren't for Yu Caiwei's presence, many actresses might not be able to help but want Ye Zhiqiu to "unspoken rules" for them.

The film and television adaptation rights of "Sword and Fairy" have just been sold here. What Ye Zhiqiu doesn't know is that the hot searches about him on the Internet are still fermenting.
Chapter completed!
