Chapter 331 I’ve been waiting for you
"It would be better if we were in a small boat."
Ying Chanxi looked at the scenery in the distance, then looked at what she and Li Luo were wearing at the moment, and couldn't help but say, "It's a small boat, floating in the wind, and the two of us on the boat are like filming some martial arts drama."
.”
"Then I am a hero who walks in the world." Li Luo patted the sword on his waist and said with a smile, "What about you?"
"Me?" Ying Chanxi frowned and thought carefully, "You write a novel, help me think of one."
"Then it's a more classic character element. A rich young lady who escaped from a wealthy family is innocent and inexperienced." Li Luo touched his chin and said, "But, because he was well protected since he was a child, he doesn't care about things.
He is neither black nor white, sometimes stubborn and coquettish. He was almost killed when he was crossing the river. Fortunately, he was saved by a hero and escaped."
"...Why is my character so long? You only have a few sentences?" Ying Chanxi complained, "And how am I stubborn and savage?"
"Acting, why do you pay so much attention to it? I'm not really talking about you." Li Luo said, "As for my character, it must be that my family was killed, I lived on the street, I was rescued by my master, and I learned martial arts."
"After I achieved some success in kung fu, I went down to the mountain gate, walked around the rivers and lakes, investigated the family tragedy that year, and vowed to avenge my relatives."
"I just met you on the way to search and saved you."
When Ying Chanxi heard this, he couldn't help but frown and said, "Could it be that in the final outcome, the heroine's family assassinated the hero's family?"
"Huh?" Li Luo raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "I didn't expect you to have a mind for screenwriting? According to the routines of some TV series, that's probably how it is."
"Tsk...it feels so annoying." Ying Chanxi touched his arm and said quickly, "Are there any other settings?"
"Of course that's true." Li Luo thought for a moment, "According to the tradition of our online novels, it is natural that after the heroine is rescued, she falls in love with the hero at first sight and follows him to do heroic deeds."
"But the heroine's family has been sending people to track her down. The hero wants to send her home, but he can't stop her from stalking her."
"After some stories, the heroine was finally brought back to the family, and the hero was also invited as a guest."
"It happened that the heroine's family encountered some changes. The hero didn't want to get involved, but because the matter involved the heroine, he came to help."
"It's another story. The male protagonist has successfully gained the trust and support of the female protagonist's family, and the road to revenge has become wider."
"This version sounds pretty good." Ying Chanxi blushed slightly and nodded lightly, sneaking closer to Li Luo and touching his arm, "So what is the ending of the male and female protagonists in the end?"
"Naturally, the male protagonist has gotten his revenge and has fulfilled his wish. He is ready to return to his master and spend the rest of his life leisurely."
"Where's the heroine?"
"Of course I will go back with the hero." Li Luo smiled, "It will not be until more than ten years later that another young man comes down from the mountain gate and walks around the world. A brand new story is waiting for you and me."
"Okay, there's a second season?" Ying Chanxi couldn't help but laugh, and then suddenly realized, "This boy you are talking about...could he be..."
"That must be the child of the hero and heroine of last season." Li Luo nodded matter-of-factly.
Child, child... As soon as these words came out, Ying Chanxi blushed even more and subconsciously touched his belly.
"What are you thinking about?" Li Luo glanced at her and asked teasingly.
"No, I didn't think about anything..." Ying Chanxi responded in a low voice, and then changed the subject, "Then why don't you write a novel like this? Then I will ask my father to buy your copyright and make it into a TV series.
alright."
"This kind of thing is not as simple as you said." Li Luo rubbed her head and said with a smile, "Uncle Ying is only the person in charge of the company. Investing in TV series needs to be discussed by many parties, and it is not his.
Just one word."
"Your plot is much more interesting than those TV dramas." Ying Chanxi complained, "The recent movie "With You for the Rest of My Life" produced by my dad's company was so ugly that I couldn't stand it after watching three or four episodes.
Yeah, now I really doubt my dad’s taste.”
"Well... there should be nothing wrong with Uncle Ying's taste." Li Luo said with a strange expression, "But TV dramas are not as simple as you think, and sometimes Uncle Ying may not necessarily be pursuing a good-looking TV series.
, but a TV series that can make money and bring benefits to the company. Sometimes there is a slight difference between the two."
The two people were chatting on the deck of the second floor. The observation ship was slowly sailing on the river. As the night gradually darkened, the high-rise buildings on both sides of the Huangpu River also lit up with gorgeous lights.
At the same time, some unknown activity was being held on the east side of the river bank. Bundles of fireworks were launched into the sky, turning into gorgeous flowers one after another under the night.
When Ying Chanxi saw this scene, she immediately covered her mouth in shock, and then couldn't help but pull Li Luo to watch together: "Look, it's so beautiful!"
"Yes, I saw it." Li Luo glanced at the fireworks, then thought for a moment, then called the waiter next to him and asked her to help take some photos, "Xixi, look at the camera."
"Ah? Oh." Ying Chanxi reacted at this moment, turned his back to the direction of the fireworks, leaned against the railing with Li Luo, and raised his cute scissor hands towards the camera in the waiter's hand.
Soon, after taking a few photos, Ying Chanxi suddenly thought of something, turned around again, pulled Li Luo to stand behind him, and said with a slight blush: "You, you can hug me from behind, okay?
I feel like it would be beautiful to shoot like this.”
"It's all up to you." Li Luo stood behind Ying Chanxi, gently hugged her waist, rested his chin on her head, and watched the fireworks show on the distant river bank with her.
At this time, the waitress who was holding a camera, her eyes suddenly lit up when she saw the beautiful scene in front of her. She couldn't help but try her best to take many photos of this loving couple.
When the fireworks ended, Li Luo thanked the waiter and took the camera back, and the two of them began to appreciate the previous photos.
When he saw the photo of Li Luo hugging him, pointing his finger to the sky, and two fireworks blooming in the sky under the night sky, Ying Chanxi couldn't help but said: "It's so beautiful. This photo is my favorite."
I like it very much.”
"As long as you like it."
"What about you, Li Luo? Which one do you like best?"
"I like them all."
"Eh? Perfunctory."
"After all, you are the one in the photo. It would be a bit embarrassing if I really had to choose."
"You know how to say weird things all day long..." Ying Chanxi's cheeks were red, she lowered her head and punched him lightly, saying in a coquettish tone, but she was so happy in her heart that her head felt dizzy, and she couldn't help it.
I know if I feel a little seasick.
Wait until the time comes to about seven o'clock in the evening.
The sightseeing ship docked at the shore.
After the four people reunited at the exit, they took a taxi back to a hotel near the All Seasons Hotel.
At this time, Ying Zhicheng was already waiting here. When he saw the four of them coming in, he smiled and asked them to sit down. He also said to the waiter: "Everyone is here, let's serve the food."
Li Guohong sat next to Ying Zhicheng, adjusted his dark green round-neck robe, and smiled at Ying Zhicheng: "How about my outfit?"
"Oh, I'm still missing two wisps of beard." Ying Zhicheng said with a smile, "But my sister-in-law looks at least a few years younger."
"What about me?" Ying Chanxi pinched the hem of her skirt and turned around in front of Ying Zhicheng. Then she couldn't help laughing and quickly sat back in her seat.
"Xixi is also very beautiful today." Ying Zhicheng said, and his eyes fell on Li Luo, who was dressed in a smart outfit.
I have to say that Li Luo's temperament matched with this outfit, he is really handsome, but Ying Zhicheng moved his lips but still did not boast.
As they each sat down, the waiters began to serve the dishes one after another.
While eating, Li Guohong and others chatted about the attractions they visited today.
Ying Zhicheng nodded from time to time. Seeing Ying Chanxi's very happy look, he felt relieved, but he still said: "I still have to say sorry to Xixi. Dad's business is quite busy, especially when something happened
It’s really a headache.”
"What's wrong?" Li Guohong asked with a frown.
"It doesn't have much to do with our company, but it has a bit of an impact on the TV series that just aired." Ying Zhicheng said helplessly, "In the movie "The Rest of My Life With You", the male protagonist is a member of a boy band and has a lot of fans.
of."
"This TV series is also produced around him. Although the quality of the plot itself is not that good, at least it still has some fan effect."
"As a result, in the past two days, it has been revealed that while he has a girlfriend in private, he is also secretly dating his female fans... He is currently undergoing a public relations emergency."
Good guy.
Li Luo was a little surprised when he heard the news. He shook his head and laughed, thinking that this drama was completely cool.
Counting the previous bad movie "Yao Chi Xian Yuan" produced by Huayue Film and Television, it seems that Ying Zhicheng has not achieved any good results in more than a year.
Ying Chanxi originally rarely participated in these topics about her father's work, but today she rarely spoke in a low voice: "So Dad, why don't you make some normal TV series? Why do you have to make this kind of TV series that can only rely on starring roles?"
Something that fans can support?”
"It's not easy these days." Ying Zhicheng sighed, "After all, more than 80% of the main audience for watching TV series are women, so we often have to consider the female market."
"Of course, if you want to talk about whether you can shoot a high-quality drama, of course you can, but the requirements are much more than the TV series that fans want."
"On the one hand, this drama must first have a good script. This is the prerequisite for everything."
"But with this premise, it can only be said to be a small step towards success."
"After that, you have to ensure that the various investors of the show are relatively normal and will not randomly add people to the crew, nor will they abuse their power, insist on adding scenes to a certain actor, or temporarily modify the plot."
"On the other hand, the actors' acting skills must also be reliable, and the director's ability must be able to control it."
"And after doing all of this, you still have to try your luck. After all, not just any good drama can stand out in the traffic era."
"With good quality and good reputation, it can't stand up to those fan-oriented TV series. Fans of the starring actors will make data for this show and make the list."
"The high-quality dramas that can come out of this fight are naturally of extremely high quality, but..."
Others can naturally understand Ying Zhicheng's words.
Li Luo also understood this very well.
The entertainment market is like this. No matter which field you are in, there will always be various wrong roads and shortcuts that tempt people to go in.
If you don't leave, others will leave, which will naturally occupy the ecological niche that originally belonged to you.
In the end, the shortcut became the norm, the wrong path became the right path, and what was supposed to be the most normal path turned into a thorny path that everyone in the industry despised.
This point is the same regardless of whether it is a TV series, movie, animation, game or online article.
"Then dad, you can consider Li Luo's novels." Ying Chanxi couldn't help but suggest, "I think his writing is very good. If it is made into a TV series, it will definitely be very interesting."
"Ahem... Xixi." Ying Zhicheng felt a little helpless when he heard this, "First of all, in Li Luo's novel, he belongs to, um... urban harem type."
After saying this, Li Luo couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly buried his head in eating to cover up his embarrassment.
Ying Zhicheng continued: "His book is indeed well written. Although I only read a rough outline of it, mainly based on the outline of the story compiled by others, I still have a general understanding."
"If we really want to make it into a TV series, first of all, the heroine must be deleted."
"Change the three heroines to only one, otherwise we won't even be able to pass the review."
"And once the number of female protagonists is changed, it will inevitably affect the overall plot. Therefore, when adapting the plot, it will be a very high threshold."
"Not to mention that there are many contents in his book that copy real works, which all involve the copyright of others. Li Luo can only use the songs he wrote himself."
"Then except for the music content, everything else, such as the protagonist filming a TV series or a movie, will all be deleted."
At this point, Ying Zhicheng paused, smiled, and then continued: "This is a big project, and it can't be changed just by changing it. And after the change, it won't matter whether the plot itself is attractive enough.
It’s easy to say, it’s almost like rewriting a book.”
After listening to what Ying Zhicheng said, Li Luo nodded in agreement.
He himself is also very aware of the difficulty of adaptation, so he has never paid much attention to film and television copyrights. He can only say that if there is a chance in the future, he can try it.
But after Ying Chanxi listened, she whispered: "I think it's good, so I changed the three female protagonists into one. Dad, how do you think we should change it?"
"Then we must keep the one who can sing." Ying Zhicheng said, "After all, in Li Luo's book, only those original songs are copyrighted. It doesn't mean that the other two heroines cannot be kept, but
At most, there are only two supporting actresses, so they can’t take over the show.”
Hearing what Ying Zhicheng said, Ying Chanxi suddenly puffed up his mouth, snorted a little unhappy, and suddenly didn't want to speak anymore.
Ying Zhicheng didn't notice anything strange about his daughter, and was still talking about his understanding of adapting Li Luo's novel.
Li Luo coughed twice, interrupted Ying Zhicheng, and then said, "Actually, I have an idea for a novel."
"Oh?" Ying Zhicheng was stunned for a moment, "Are you going to finish writing this book now?"
"That's not true." Li Luo shook his head, "It's just that the Wenyue Group cooperated with the government and held an event to collect essays on realistic themes. It seems that the support is quite strong."
"Originally, I didn't have any big ideas. I just thought it was interesting and had a few ideas in my mind that I thought I could write down."
"But if Uncle Ying is short of a good script, um... I think I can give it a try? It will be linked to the essay solicitation here, and maybe there will be official support by then?"
After listening to Li Luo's words, Ying Zhicheng fell silent for a moment.
One thing to say.
If Li Luo could say such nonsense a year ago, Ying Zhicheng would have just laughed it off and just regarded it as a child's joke.
But now, although Li Luo is still a child, his talent in creation is indeed obvious to all.
Ying Zhicheng had to think carefully before saying this.
There was even a hint of curiosity and expectation in my heart.
What if?
Anyway, I see that this kid is quite idle at ordinary times, so what’s the harm in letting him give it a try?
Thinking like this, after Ying Zhicheng finished thinking, he nodded and said to Li Luo: "Can you tell me what you think first?"
…
Because dinner was late, and Li Luo and Ying Zhicheng then chatted a lot about their ideas for novels and TV series.
So by the time dinner was over, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.
Ying Zhicheng had something to do in the evening, so he said goodbye and left in front of the hotel.
Li Luo also said hello to Ying Chanxi and the other three, asking them to go back and rest early.
But Ying Chanxi came to him and whispered, "How about I go sit over with you?"
"I also made an appointment with the editor and author friends to have supper tonight." Li Luo rubbed her head and said softly, "Forget it tonight, you can go back and rest early, okay?"
"Okay..." Ying Chanxi pursed his lips and nodded obediently.
Watching Ying Chanxi walk up to Lin Xiuhong, Li Luo looked at his parents and reminded him by the way: "Lawyer Tian will also be here tomorrow morning to make an appointment with the Copyright Department of Wenyue Group. Let's make some time then.
, please sign the contract made by the great god."
"Okay." Li Guohong nodded, "You can decide this matter. We will follow your arrangements."
After saying goodbye at the entrance of the hotel, Li Luo waved to the three of them and walked towards the Jinjiang Hotel.
As a result, as soon as he entered the hotel lobby and was about to walk towards the elevator, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye, standing in front of the poster of the Writers Salon.
I don't know if there is a tacit understanding.
When Li Luo looked at the back figure, the owner of the back also turned his head and immediately looked at Li Luo.
"Li Luo~" Yan Zhusheng trotted up to him and threw herself into his arms, knocking him staggering. He hugged her body with both hands and barely caught her.
"Why are you running so fast...I won't run away." After Li Luo stood firm, he said angrily, "Why didn't you say anything when you came?"
"I have a surprise for you." Yan Zhusheng said in his arms.
"Why do you need to hug me when you're surprised?"
"This is a meeting gift between good friends who have reunited after a long absence." Yan Zhusheng said seriously, "If you are abroad, you will also kiss on the face."
"This is China."
"So I just gave it a hug."
"Hmm... That's reasonable, but isn't it time to let go?"
"Oh." Yan Zhusheng obediently separated from him, "Li Luo, where is your room?"
"Where are you on the 8th floor?" Li Luo walked towards the elevator entrance and asked as he walked.
Yan Zhusheng followed him step by step, walking briskly with excitement, her high ponytail swaying on her back: "On the 20th floor, in the apartment where I live with my mother."
"When did you arrive?"
"The plane will arrive in the evening."
"Then what? Resting in the room or going out to play?"
"Waiting for you here." Yan Zhusheng blinked and said matter-of-factly.
Hearing this, when Li Luo pressed the elevator button, his heart suddenly trembled and his fingers trembled.
"What time did you wait here?"
"It seems to be six o'clock." Yan Zhusheng recalled it, but couldn't remember clearly, "Anyway, the sun hasn't set yet."
"Then why don't you send me a message?" Li Luo said helplessly, "Just wait here?"
"I told you, I'll give you a surprise."
"Silly."
Taking the elevator to the 8th floor, Li Luo took her back to the room.
As soon as she entered Li Luo's room, Yan Zhusheng hurried towards the bathroom.
Seeing her running into the bathroom in such a hurry, Li Luo suddenly had a guess in his mind and couldn't help but ask through the door: "Didn't you go to the bathroom while you were waiting for me?"
"I was afraid that I might miss it when I went to the bathroom, so, just... um..." Yan Zhusheng's voice came from the bathroom, as if he took a deep breath, "Huh... I've been holding it in..."
Li Luo helplessly held his forehead and sighed, then sat down at the desk, turned on the computer, took out his cell phone, and sent a few messages to Xu Youyu next door.
After a while, Yan Zhusheng walked out, sat down on the bed, and watched Li Luo code.
"I have to go out later and have a late-night snack with the editor and author friends. You can go back to your room later, okay? After all, you live in a suite with Aunt Yuan. It's not good if you don't go back at night."
"Oh." Yan Zhusheng nodded obediently.
But when it was eleven o'clock in the evening, Li Luo got up and prepared to leave, and glanced at Yan Zhusheng.
However, Yan Zhusheng covered her stomach, quickly ran into the bathroom, locked the door, and said to Li Luo: "My stomach hurts a little. Li Luo, please go first. I'll go back after I use the bathroom."
Li Luo: "...You'd better really have a stomachache."
"Really." Yan Zhusheng said, "If you don't believe me, why don't you come in and touch me?"
"I'm leaving first." Li Luo said with a black line on his head, "You should go back early and don't let Aunt Yuan worry."
"It's okay. Mom said she has invited some friends to go out for a drink. She will probably be back very late."
Seeing her unwillingness to come out, Li Luo smiled helplessly and shook his head: "Okay, if you want to stay, just stay. I'll go out first."
After that, he walked out of the room and took the elevator downstairs.
Chapter completed!
