The building of the Chinese website is quite large, so it is impossible to tour it all. Otherwise, I would just do nothing today and follow Qinghe to climb the stairs. After a brief tour of the editorial office, the group came to the reception room.
"Changle, our Chinese website is currently interested in developing several popular novel IPs. The main direction of adaptation is film and television, as well as games. Let's not talk about games for now.
It's mainly about film and television adaptation. After all, you mentioned at the beginning that if you want to adapt it into a film or television, you need the right to choose the actors and the power to propose the sale of copyrights. But now we also feel that it is better for us to do the copyright ourselves than to directly sell it to others.
For this purpose, we are also working specifically with our friends at Penguin Pictures. As the author of the work "Chinese Paladin", you may be more clear about what kind of effect the final result needs to be if it is made into a film or TV series.
So, I asked you to come to Beiping this time. I have briefly told you before that the main reason is to seek your opinion. The people here are the heads of the Chinese network's film and television department and the head of Penguin Pictures. You can speak freely about anything you want. "
Qinghe spoke for a long time, and Li Changle listened very carefully. After all, it was related to the adaptation of two classic IPs, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and such matters could not be taken lightly.
The message from Qinghe's Chinese website was clear: this time, they were serious about launching a massive IP adaptation campaign. Li Changle nodded repeatedly, honestly believing the Chinese website had shown genuine sincerity to him as an author, making it difficult for him to resist.
Then Qinghe smiled and said, "But before that, let's get to know each other first."
Then, she made way for a capable woman with shoulder-length hair wearing a black business skirt who stood up and extended her hand towards Li Changle. "Hello, I'm Yu Qiuqin, the person in charge of the film and television adaptation of the Chinese website's IP. I've heard of you for a long time."
Li Changle also extended his hand, shook it briefly, and then released it. "Hello, Mr. Yu, I may have high expectations for the "Chinese Paladin" IP, so I may have to trouble you a little."
Yu Qiuqin also smiled slightly, "This is exactly what we want. Our Chinese website kicked off this IP adaptation with "Chinese Paladin" with the intention of striving for excellence."
The middle-aged man in a suit next to him also stood up and gestured to Li Changle. After a brief greeting, the two sat down together. This man was Fang Lintao, who was the contact person between Penguin Pictures and the Chinese website for the film and television adaptation. However, as the final traffic output port, Penguin Pictures did not have much intersection with Li Changle, and the two of them only touched upon each other briefly.
After the three parties greeted each other, Li Changle pondered for a long time before speaking:
"I'd like to thank the newcomers at Chinese.com and Penguin Pictures for choosing my work as the first adaptation. As the author of the novel "Chinese Paladin," I've been looking forward to seeing it on screen.
Regarding the requirements for the film and television adaptation of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", I would only mention one, which is to make the best use of the characters. Every character in this novel is very important, so we must be very cautious when casting.
Another suggestion I would make is to look for newcomers in casting for the leading roles, and the production and directing teams must be strong teams. As for the soundtrack, I know a little bit about composing music, but I need a more professional person to help me. I can provide a demo of the soundtrack.
Finally, I am also a musician myself, and I can independently compose the theme song, ending song, and interlude of "Chinese Paladin." We will then decide whether to entrust the lead singer or other singers to sing it based on the situation."
Li Changle recalled his impression of the TV series "Chinese Paladin". To be honest, in terms of the soundtrack, this TV series is undoubtedly one of the top few in the field of fairy tales.
Almost every main character in the drama has his or her own exclusive background music, including Lin Yueru's "Mo Shi Mo Wang", Jiu Jianxian's "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Ling'er's "Peach Blossom Island", Tang Yu Xiaobao and Anu's "Bi Yi Niao" and so on. These are too classic. To a certain extent, the background music of this series of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" plays an important role in the background music of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".
Especially the soundtrack "Mo Shi Mo Wang" can be said to have broken through the existence of the TV series. People who have not watched "Legend of Sword and Fairy" may have heard this music. Before Li Changle traveled through time, this soundtrack was even a killer existence on a certain audio platform.
In addition, even if the theme song, ending song and interlude of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" are equally classic, Li Changle will not miss them. Rain in June, Sigh of Freedom, Sha Po Lang and Always Quiet are songs that are almost Li Changle's childhood.
When Li Changle finished stating her request in one breath, Fang Lintao, Yu Qiuqin and Qinghe all looked at each other for a long time, and finally reacted, with unstoppable surprise in their eyes.
It turned out that inviting Li Changle was the right decision. The filming of a TV series requires a lot of preparation. Now, all the content output of the TV series seems to be undertaken by this young man.
They also don't think Li Changle is bragging, because Li Changle is a musician who has written songs of the level of "Lovesickness", "Red Bean" and "Qingping Diao". When it comes to composing, if he says it's okay, then it must be okay.
In addition, casting is also the top priority in the preparation of a TV series, but Li Changle seems to care about this. Since he cares about it, it will be easy. When the time comes, just give him and the director a thumbs up, and it will definitely be right.
In their opinion, the requirements raised by Li Changle cannot be considered as requirements, but can only be said to be the most basic. After all, Chinese.com and Penguin are both wealthy companies and giants in the industry, and they will not engage in short-sighted behavior such as making money by cheating others.
