Chapter 741 Intellectual Property Rights
In Xu Hao's previous life, these classic novels by Jin Yong and Gu Long were remade in countless versions by TV stations and TV drama production centers in Xiangjiang, Wanwan and the Mainland.
Since Xu Hao loved those martial arts novels in his previous life, of course he also took him to watch all the versions of martial arts TV series.
He also watched some TV series that he thought were well shot two or three times.
As for the characters and plots in the play, his memory has greatly improved after his rebirth, and they are all still fresh in his memory now.
Therefore, just when he arranged for Huang Zhan to start preparing to acquire the rights to adapt the novels of Jin Yong and Gu Long.
Xu Hao also took advantage of his free time to integrate the martial arts TV series from his previous life, plus some of his own opinions and ideas.
Taking the essence and discarding the dross, we wrote the TV series scripts of several novels by Jin Yong and Gurung.
Coincidentally, the novel Chu Liuxiang's Legend was also written into a script by Xu Hao. No, this gave him another chance to show off.
Therefore, the ancients often said that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
As long as you are prepared for something in advance, when the time comes, even if you try your best to show off, no one will dare to say anything.
Enough talk, let’s get back to the main story!
When Zhao Yazhi and Xu Xiaoming heard Xu Hao say that the file bag he gave Xu Xiaoming contained the TV series script of The Legend of Chu Liuxiang.
Both of them were surprised and said:
"Ahao, you have already written the script? Why don't I understand it?"
"Master Xu, it turns out that you have already written the TV series script for The Legend of Chu Liuxiang.
You are really confident, I admire you, I admire you! Mr. Xu, you really make me admire you.
Now that we have your script, I promise you that it will never delay the premiere."
As soon as Xu Hao heard Xu Xiaoming's words, he smiled and said:
"Minister Xu, you don't need to flatter me. This script was written in my spare time when I was preparing to purchase the film and television adaptation rights of Jin Daxia and Gu Long's novels, just in case I need it.
Isn’t this, aren’t we using it now?
Director Xu, for every TV series you will produce, I still say the same thing: script, script, the basis of a drama.
We carefully review and write every script before shooting.
In this way, during the filming process, there will be no such thing as handing over notes or temporarily changing the plot.
Only the works shot in this way can meet the saying that the products produced by Red Umbrella must be high-quality products.
Okay, Director Xu, take a look at this script first and see how it differs from your two scripts."
After Xu Hao said these words to Xu Xiaoming, he saw that he had opened the document bag and took out the script to read it.
Then he turned to Zhao Yazhi and said with a smile:
"Sister Zhi, this script was created when I came back from the United States this year and asked Brother Zhan, Daxia Jin, and Gu Long to start negotiating the copyright for the adaptation.
I took advantage of my free time at that time to read Daxia Jin's works carefully, and then wrote it.
No, things started to get busy and I forgot about this script.
If you hadn't mentioned this matter to Sister Jun when you came back this time, I really wouldn't have been able to remember it."
Zhao Yazhi glared at Xu Hao and said:
"Ahao, just pretend for me! Tell me honestly, in addition to the script of the Legend of Chu Liuxiang, you also wrote the scripts of those books?"
When Xu Hao heard this, he smiled and said:
"Sister Zhi, actually there aren't many, just three or four.
Think about it, I am not only busy with the company's affairs all day long, but also busy..."
After hearing what Xu Hao said, Xu Xiaoming quickly took out a stack of manuscript paper from his document bag and took a closer look.
On the cover of the script, four elegant characters suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Xiangshuai legend!
Xu Xiaoming was immediately shocked by the name, and then secretly thought:
"I'll go ahead and let's not talk about the name of the TV series, but it's much better than the original name.
Just look at the calligraphy of these four characters. It’s really impossible to explain.
People outside now say that Xu Shao's calligraphy is the best in Xiangjiang.
His current words are speculated outside to start at 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, but they are still valuable but not available.
Now when I look at the font Xu Shao, it really lives up to its name and is not exaggerated at all!
These four words can not only be made into posters to promote this TV series in the future.
Even if it is used as the title sequence of a TV series, it will be a highlight after it is broadcast.
I'll go! I made a profit, I really made a profit this time.
Not only did he get the script written by Mr. Xu himself, but he also got the title of the TV series and the sample for the future poster. This time, he didn't have to go to anyone else.
But it's a pity that my two bottles of good wine are really cheap for that boy Huang Zhan.
But this time, the wine was worth the money, and it was used in exactly the right place. Look at the reward, I can’t even imagine it.”
These thoughts only passed by in Xu Xiaoming's mind.
He sat there, briefly looking through the script, quickly raised his head and said with a smile:
"The legend of Xiangshuai!
Mr. Xu, the name you chose is not only domineering, but also attractive to people. It is so accurate.
But Mr. Xu, these four characters of yours make people look elegant and majestic. Can I use these four characters of yours as the title of our TV series?"
Upon hearing Xu Xiaoming's naughty words, Xu Hao stood up and said with a smile:
"Director Xu, I have no objection to using those four words as the title sequence.
But these words can't be used in vain. When the time TV series is completed, you will have to pay me the copyright fee.
Okay, the script matter has been resolved, and I have to go to work in the group company as soon as possible, so I won't stay here any longer.
Director Xu, you don’t need to give me a gift. You should read the script carefully with Sister Zhi, and then prepare to start filming."
Hearing what Xu Hao said, Xu Xiaoming stood up quickly and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Mr. Xu, we must pay the copyright fees, we must pay them.
Protect cultural intellectual property rights and protect the property rights and interests of authors. But Mr. Xu, you have always advocated, and we must implement it seriously.
Since Mr. Xu, you said so, then walk slowly and I won’t see you off.”
Zhao Yazhi sat there and said with a smile:
"Ahao, go back early after get off work in the afternoon. I still have something to discuss with you."
Xu Hao walked out and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Sister Zhi, I will go back early in the afternoon. It won't take long for me to finish the company matters."
Hearing Xu Hao's words and looking at the familiar figure, Zhao Yazhi whispered:
"Hmph! This stinky Ah Hao started blowing water again!"
As soon as Xu Hao stepped into the headquarters building of the Red Umbrella Group, Huang Juan hurriedly ran up to him from the front desk and said directly:
"Master Xu, your boss has finally shown up. If you don't come to the company, I, the secretary, will be embarrassed to collect my salary."
When Xu Hao heard this, he laughed and said:
"Ajuan, people often say that a woman undergoes eighteen changes, and the more she changes, the more beautiful she becomes.
You see, we haven't seen each other for a few days, and I find that you are even more beautiful than before.
Besides, your salary is paid by me. As long as I don’t deduct it, who dares to deduct your salary?
Okay, let's go to the office now, and you should inform Minister Geng, Brother Cheng and Uncle Han now and ask them to come to my office."
"Okay, Director Xu, you go to the office first, and I will inform them now."
After Huang Juan finished speaking these words, she turned around and whispered:
"Are you still the same as before, just lying to me and pretending that I wasn't a pretty girl before?"
"Xu Dongzao!"
"Xu Shaozao!"
Xu Hao was accompanied by six guards, He Xudong and Zhang Xinkai, as he was greeted by the staff together.
Chapter completed!
