Chapter 358: Turning the story into a movie is the best way to make it
interesting Xia Yan didn't know when she burst into tears.
Lin Fan was so scared that he quickly pulled several tissues for Xia Yan: "Oh my, what happened? This is just a story, why are you crying like this?"
Xia Yan snatched the tissue from Lin Fan's hand, wiped the tears from her face, and blew her nose: "It's all your fault. Why are you telling people such a sad love story on New Year's Day?"
Lin Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How would I know you could be so moved by a story."
In fact, even on Earth, the general public who have been baptized by the story of Liang Zhu for many years will still be moved by this story and the plot performed by the actors when they watch the 1994 version of the movie "Liang Zhu" for the first time.
Even after so many years, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel a little sad when he "saw" this movie from his memory, not to mention Xia Yan, who was hearing such a poignant story for the first time? It really hit the nail on the head!
On the one hand, Xia Yan was moved by this story, but on the other hand, she was hurt by Lin Fan's straight man behavior of telling a tragic love story during the New Year. How can she describe her emotions in words?
But, these are not the point.
"In the end, did Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai really turn into butterflies and stay together forever?" Xia Yan kept asking, "From now on, no one will ever separate them, right?"
"Yes, they become a pair of butterflies flying freely in the sky, and no one will separate them."
Lin Fan watched Xia Yan recover and couldn't help but laugh, "If I had known you were so soft-hearted, I wouldn't have told you the story."
"No! The stories you told are all very beautiful, whether it's the scholar and the female ghost in A Chinese Ghost Story or the poor student and the official lady in The Butterfly Lovers, their love stories may not have happy endings, but they are the most beautiful stories I have ever heard."
Although Xia Yan was moved to tears, she did not think it was a shameful thing. On the contrary, it proved the beauty of Lin Fan's two stories.
"I haven't been so deeply moved for a long time. At first glance, it sounds like a very clichéd story of a rich girl falling in love with a poor boy, but it satisfies my most classical and romantic fantasy of love, especially when Zhu Yingtai jumped into Liang Shanbo's tomb and they both turned into butterflies and flew away. It was simply the finishing touch!"
Xia Yan looked at Lin Fan sincerely: "If possible, it would be best if both stories were made into movies, showing all your thoughts and images. Moreover, I can feel that you actually want to do this, right?"
It’s not that I want to make these two stories into movies, but these are the stories that are told to you according to the movies!
It was difficult for Lin Fan to tell Xia Yan about these things, but as Xia Yan said, he did have the idea of restoring these two movies.
"You're right, but I don't know much about movies. I don't know where to start."
Making a movie, even a low-budget one, is not something that can be done casually. Although Lin Fan has this intention, it is still too difficult to implement it. This makes Lin Fan feel quite overwhelmed and at a loss as to where to start.
What's more, Lin Fan's personality - mainly his laziness - limits many of his behaviors, and it's easy for him to back down.
Telling stories to Xia Yan is actually a form of "self-rescue" for Lin Fan.
Let Xia Yan also actively talk to me about making a movie, so that even when I periodically fall into the sequelae of laziness, there will be someone to constantly encourage me, you still have such a good story waiting to be made into a movie! Sleep on it, wake up and have fun!
Well! Of course, the last sentence could never have come from the mouth of Xia·Little Fairy·Yan.
Xia Yan said: "If you plan to make a movie by yourself, you will have no idea where to start. But you can gather a professional team, and you only need to be responsible for certain parts, such as the creative part, the
script part, and the final acceptance part, and then let others do it."
Lin Fan nodded: "Yes, Sister Xia means the same thing."
Yang Hongxia was very angry with the unscrupulous investor last time. After she came back, she gave Lin Fan a plan for setting up a professional film production and investment team.
Lin Fan spent a week looking through countless materials before he understood the entire plan.
In short, Yang Hongxia suggested that after Lin Fan established his own studio, he should set up a professional team to be responsible for turning Lin Fan's "creativity" into products and for Lin Fan's investment in the film industry.
Yang Hongxia also discussed this with Xia Yan, because Xia Yan also wanted to set up his own studio.
Xia Yan's main development direction is still as a singer. He is not considering film and television dramas for the time being, but he will still retain the necessary margins. After all, Xia Yan himself does not participate in the production of film and television dramas, but he can invest in film and television dramas.
Many working artists rely on investments to make a living. Otherwise, it would be a bit unsafe to support an entire studio solely with the artist's advertising fees, endorsement fees, and announcement fees. What if the artist suddenly becomes unpopular and stops making money?
Therefore, investment is something that artists in the circle are very enthusiastic about, especially investing in movies. Of course, it is impossible for investment to only make money without losses, so professional personnel are needed to be responsible for this area.
Considering that Lin Fan could provide a great original movie script and even the soundtrack could be easily arranged, Yang Hongxia thought more: being able to take control of the film production rights in her own hands is certainly better than handing over the creativity to others to realize.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Therefore, Yang Hongxia proposed to set up a professional film production and investment team for Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was very excited, and then, he agreed! The specific work was still in charge of Yang Hongxia, but even though she was now responsible for the establishment of two personal studios at the same time, she was still working overtime during the Chinese New Year, and her originally thick hair was showing signs of thinning, but Yang Hongxia was still happy to do it.
You know, the more Lin Fan and Xia Yan's studios earn, the more Yang Hongxia will get. The share these two people give to herself alone is much more than what Yang Hongxia can get if she manages several artists at the same time in Xinghe Entertainment.
Not to mention, Yang Hongxia owns a certain share in Xia Yan's studio.
Xia Yan couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "With Sister Xia watching over me, I feel relieved. Sister Xia's work ability is obvious to all, and she will definitely help you get this done properly."
Lin Fan also felt that Yang Hongxia was much more reliable than Boss Lian: "But, isn't it a bit too much to leave so much work to Sister Xia?"
Xia Yan is very experienced in this regard: "Don't worry, once Sister Xia feels that the workload exceeds the standard, she will ask you for more money herself."
Lin Fan: ...Okay, Sister Xia is the one who really loves money! Yang Hongxia, who was far away in Shanghai, suddenly sneezed: "Who is scolding me?"
In the previous chapter, many people complained that I had finished it. You are so cruel~ I need votes to comfort my wounded heart~!
