Ye Lengsong didn't spend the New Year at home after all. On New Year's Eve night, he was alone in the dormitory, watching the Spring Festival Gala while calling his mother.
"Old Ye, your son is calling. Do you want to listen?" The voice of Ye's mother speaking to Ye Lengsong's father on the other end of the phone was audible.
However, his father still didn't answer the call. It was not that he didn't want to answer it, but he was a little embarrassed and wanted Ye Lengsong to speak first.
Perhaps Ye Lengsong's temperament was a bit like his father's, so he was a little lonely and arrogant.
"Little Ye, your father is busy. Call him alone when you have time." Ye's mother tried to smooth things over for the father and son.
Ye Lengsong regretted it a little. Why should he hesitate to speak to his relatives as a second-generation man? As a son, he should be submissive. Anyway, he went to the Beijing Film Academy and graduated.
Besides, his current self has not fallen out with his father.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Lengsong felt a little bored. The Spring Festival Gala he had watched once in his previous life was playing "Connecting with the World," sung by Jie Xiaodong and Stefanie Sun.
From the perspective of later generations, the stage effects are a bit rustic now, and the song is also very rustic, which makes him lose interest.
The only thing to watch is that Stefanie Sun is still very young. At 24, she is still young and can arouse some desire.
"It's just that her breasts are a little small. I can't afford a pair of A-grade."
The ringing of the mobile phone interrupted Ye Lengsong's fantasy. Jiang Yiyan called. After a simple greeting, she told me about the pain of missing and parting.
Later, Zhu Zhu, Zhang Zilin, and Liu Yifei called one after another, and even Liu Xiaoli secretly made a "greeting" call in the bedroom.
For some people, the Spring Festival is very short. Before they have had enough fun, the holiday will be over. But for some people, it is very long.
Ye Lengsong, bored in the dormitory, contacted Zhu Zhu and Zhang Zilin. They either returned to their hometown or were going to visit relatives. The same was true for Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli. Jiang Yiyan was even farther away in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. Ye Lengsong, who was used to eating meat, was a little uncomfortable. He would get up early every day with a full erection.
Fortunately, the winter vacation was not long. Just after the 14th day of the first lunar month, students from other places began to prepare to return to school one after another.
When registering for the new semester, Liu Xiaoli brought Liu Yifei with her, mainly to accompany Liu Yifei in asking for leave.
The crew of "The Story of a Noble Family" officially notified that it would enter the early preparation period, and relevant personnel should rush to the Tianjin Film and Television Base in advance.
As a newcomer, Liu Yifei did not dare to enjoy special treatment, so she prepared to leave and entered the crew first to adapt to the venue and memorize the lines. The director also had to listen to the actors' voices to see if dubbing was needed.
Ye Lengsong Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli only met twice, and they had to say goodbye again, which made the young lovers reluctant to leave.
The script of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" was sent to Mr. Cha. After reading it, he was very satisfied with the adapted plot. However, he was still hesitant about Ye Lengsong's proposal to buy the film and television adaptation rights.
Although Ye Lengsong was a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy and had studied directing, he was a newcomer and had never directed a film or television work. At most, he had shot a few short films.
Thanks to the unspoken rules that night, Ye Lengsong found Zhao Junyan. After selling his body, he quickly got a letter of recommendation with a formal official seal, although it was not very useful.
The letter of introduction helped Ye Lengsong brag about himself and mentioned that although the academy could not participate in the filming due to formalities if Ye Lengsong started filming this drama, the academy would fully support him in terms of technology, actors, and props.
It was just relying on the name of the academy.
The conditions offered were just empty promises. The technical support for the technology, actors, and props was fake, and no one could supervise on-site at the academy. However, this also represented the academy's attitude, proving that Ye Lengsong was not the only one acting alone.
Finally, Ye Lengsong took Huang Lei to meet with Mr. Cha and discussed the details for a long time.
After the meeting, Mr. Cha agreed with Ye Lengsong's suggestions for adapting martial arts novels. Finally, he agreed to the two-year exclusive adaptation rights of "Tianlong Babu" on the mainland, but the framework of the rights was set very finely.
The category of adaptation can only be TV series. After two years, other people in the mainland can obtain the adaptation rights again. Ye Lengsong cannot sell or transfer the adaptation rights this time but can directly participate in the filming through cooperation.
In the end, Mr. Cha transferred the adaptation rights of "Tianlong Babu" to the unknown Ye Lengsong for only one yuan.
On returning to Beijing, Huang Lei smiled and said to Ye Lengsong, "You are really good. You quietly took over Mr. Cha's work using the academy's name. What? Do you want to direct and shoot it yourself?"
Ye Lengsong had nothing to hide from Huang Lei, smiled, and said, "I don't have the ability to shoot it myself at the moment. One is the funding problem, and the other is that my level is not up to the standard. I want to participate in the shooting with the script I modified and the adaptation rights to accumulate some foundation for myself."
Huang Lei nodded in approval and said, "The script you adapted is excellent. Many unnecessary side characters in the book that were quoted in the TV series were deleted, and Qiao Feng was the focus, portraying the nation and the country, reflecting the greatness of the chivalrous, serving the country and the people, which can be regarded as promoting the national spirit."
The word "positive energy" was not used at this time; otherwise, Huang Lei might have used it to describe the spirit of this drama.
Ye Lengsong said modestly: "It's not as good as you said. After filming the show, I want the plot to be more compact and exciting."
Huang Lei smiled and asked: "Are you waiting for a willing partner?"
Ye Lengsong smiled and said: "I guess so. Since it is a form of cooperation, it is not too much to ask for an assistant director and chores when someone comes to talk."
"This is what we should do. We can't spend half a day and send people to film for free. Since the work is done, we should at least treat them to a meal. It's not like we will bring two bottles of wine and think it's over, right?"
"Haha, that's right. I still rely on Brother Lei this time. After returning to Beijing, you tell me where you want to go. I must satisfy Brother Lei even if I must sell my iron."
Ye Lengsong and Huang Lei met Mr. Cha in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, Mr. Cha's hometown. This time, he came back to visit his relatives and met Ye Lengsong by the way.
After getting off the plane, Sun Li drove to pick them up. She heard that Ye Lengsong had negotiated the rights to the adaptation, which only cost one dollar, so she was very happy for him and asked to teach him.
However, the three of them had not decided where to go, and finally, Sun Li suggested that they go on a one-stop tour, eating, drinking, singing, and dancing.
