Chapter 417: The Desperate Lin Fan

If we say that Lin Fan embarked on the path of a singer-songwriter, it was not only because he rushed into this circle when he was ignorant and had to find a way out for himself and a long-term meal ticket for life, but also partly because he wanted to respond to the love of his fans.

Although Lin Fan has done very well on this path and has demonstrated his creative ability, in the final analysis, he is still a little helpless and forced to do this, and it is not out of his own will.

So after leaving the talent show, Lin Fan seemed to be particularly unconcerned about releasing new songs. He was not like other singers who put all their efforts into releasing a masterpiece.

This situation did not change until Lin Fan participated in "The Sound of Nature".

However, Lin Fan's attitude towards the works such as "A Chinese Ghost Story" is completely different.

He refused to accept any changes, external investment, or even other people directing the film. In the end, he took on the five major responsibilities of director, starring, screenwriter, music composer, and styling. He was determined to personally shoot "A Chinese Ghost Story" no matter what.

He is so proactive that he doesn't seem like the indifferent Lin Fan anymore.

You know, a movie, from selecting the script, to confirming the project, preparatory work, to the official start of filming, all these things are so trivial and troublesome! To be honest, even Yang Hongxia was almost broken down by these endless meetings several times, not to mention Lin Fan who is known for being "lazy".

But Lin Fan persisted and did everything well.

This is enough to prove that these works are of extraordinary significance to Lin Fan.

Modou Film is a very excellent film and television production company with a very good reputation in the industry. The TV series they produce often become popular hits of the year, and many companies are willing to cooperate with them.

The fact that Shanghai Film Group took the initiative to approach Lin Fan and wanted to purchase the film and television copyright of "The Legend of White Snake" is enough to prove the market value of this work.

Knowing that Lin Fan cares very much about these works and has received recognition from industry professionals, if Yang Hongxia still wants to sell the copyrights, then she has been in this circle for so long in vain, and the title of gold medal agent can be handed over to others.

Therefore, Yang Hongxia warmly received Hu Yuhua, and then resolutely rejected the other party's proposal to purchase the copyright. In the end, she did not block the other party's words. After all, Hu Yuhua and Liu Zhengyan had a special relationship, and Liu Zhengyan was also someone who had a say in front of Lin Fan.

Therefore, according to Lin Fan's instructions, Yang Hongxia gave Hu Yuhua another option, which was co-production.

As the name suggests, co-production means that Lin Fan will invest and produce together with Shanghai Film. Of course, it is impossible for Lin Fan to sell the copyright, and the adaptation rights will also be firmly in his own hands. On this basis, if Shanghai Film can agree, they can sit down and have a good talk.

If you cannot accept it, all I can say is: I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation next time.

However, Shanghai Film Studio is indeed very strong, so if we can cooperate, we will try our best. In addition to Lin Fan, or with Lin Fan as the main person, the three studios, Earthling Studio, Xia Yan Studio and Yang Hongxia's personal agency, are now focusing all their energy on the "A Chinese Ghost Story" project.

The Earthling Studio also has to follow up on the variety show "The Yard of Longing", Xia Yan Studio also has to follow up on the production of the new album, and Yang Hongxia herself also has to train new talents. All three studios are in their infancy, and these things have already occupied most of their energy. They really don't have time to shoot a TV series at the same time.

If we can cooperate with Shanghai Film, all these problems will be solved. If not, we can only wait until "A Chinese Ghost Story" is released before considering the film and television adaptation of "Legend of the White Snake".

However, Yang Hongxia is still looking forward to reaching a cooperation.

…

Hu Yuhua returned empty-handed from Yang Hongxia's place, and was actually a little disappointed.

In Hu Yuhua's opinion, the conditions he offered were already very generous, and he promised Yang Hongxia that he would fully refer to Lin Fan's opinions and try his best to make a work that both parties are satisfied with. If Lin Fan is willing, he can even join the screenwriter team and adapt the work himself.

But Yang Hongxia still refused to agree and insisted that she would not sell the copyright.

There's no way to talk about this.

As for the co-production mentioned by Yang Hongxia, what is the difference between that and Shanghai Film Studio directly helping Lin Fan shoot a TV series? Shanghai Film Studio has too little say, so such a co-production is meaningless.

However, even though she thought so, Hu Yuhua still couldn't let go of "The Legend of White Snake" after she returned.

At first glance, this story is a common love story between a human and a demon, but Hu Yuhua has read it several times. At the beginning, she was simply attracted by the plot, moved by the true love between the human and the demon, hated Fahai for breaking up the lovers, and gradually understood that the separation of the White Snake and Xu Xian was inevitable.

One can imagine what kind of vicissitudes the world has experienced behind this inevitability, how many times the moon has waxed and waned, how many lonely nights it has cried, before it can calmly accept the reality of separation and recognize that this is a cycle of cause and effect that no one can escape.

This mythological drama with the theme of repaying gratitude is also about revenge throughout. The White Snake and the shepherd boy, the White Snake and the Green Snake, the White Snake and the monk Fahai, as well as the innocent people, the Black and White Impermanence, the gods and bodhisattvas involved in the process of repaying gratitude... As the saying goes, gratitude brings resentment, and this is the cycle of fate.

Hu Yuhua has not seen such values ​​in TV dramas for a long time, not to mention that it also contains values ​​such as responsibility, gratitude, tolerance, etc., contains a lot of life wisdom, and shows all kinds of things in the world. If such a work really slips away from her hands, Hu Yuhua feels that she will definitely regret it in the future.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

So, Hu Yuhua called Liu Zhengyan, hoping to bypass Yang Hongxia and find out Lin Fan's true intentions and bottom line.

Liu Zhengyan naturally wouldn't refuse to just get some information. After hanging up Hu Yuhua's call, he called Lin Fan directly.

On the phone, Liu Zhengyan didn't hide anything, but explained the whole story to Lin Fan: "I called you because I wanted to build a bridge between the two of you and see if there is any room for discussion on this matter. Yuhua really values ​​this work, and I believe she won't change it without authorization. I just want to see what your main concerns are and whether we can discuss it further."

Lin Fan still respected Liu Zhengyan very much, and he didn't hide anything when he heard it: "This is not a question of whether I am worried or not. To tell you the truth, I have written 12 songs for this "Legend of the White Snake", and on this basis, I have filled in about 100 singing segments. Teacher Liu, how can you let me discard all these songs and singing segments and let others shoot this drama?"

Liu Zhengyan scratched his ears and said, "Wait, wait, how many songs did you say?"

Lin Fan silently counted the number: "12 songs."

"How many parts?"

"103."

Liu Zhengyan was speechless: "Are you filming a TV series or an opera? You are too crazy! Do you want to let an old man like me live?"

I've had a cold for a few days. My foot pain has just healed, but my back pain is still not healed. I wanted to take a day off today, but then I thought about it and reluctantly wrote the update. Please don't make me angry in the comment section. If you have the time, why don't you vote for me? 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
