Chapter 402 Copyright of "The Three-Body Problem", TV Series Adaptation of "The Three-Body Problem" (4th Update)
After thinking for a moment, Qi Hui replied, "You should talk to Brother Jing about this."

"I'm his soldier now, so I have to listen to him."

Lu Yang curled his lip. Why didn't you have this awareness when you were acting under me a few months ago?
Moreover, they even stole my flying fish robe and embroidered spring knife.
hateful!

Guo Fan: Holy crap, Lao Lu's movie is going to be released too?

Guo Fan suddenly popped up.

Lu Yang: Hey, Lao Guo? What's gotten into you lately, like you've disappeared?

Qi Hui: After making movies for so long, can't you enjoy yourself a bit?

Lu Yang: That makes sense!

Guo Fan: Bullshit! I'm dealing with copyright! Do you really think I'm like you guys, just eating and sleeping?

Qi Hui and Lu Yang ignored the second half of Lao Guo's sentence.

Just like Americans, Lao Guo likes to pin the blame for his own bad deeds on his brothers.
I understand everything!

Lu Yang: What copyright? Was it successful?

Qi Hui: Looks like it didn't work out, otherwise I would have been gloating for a while.

Lu Yang: Senior brother is right!

Guo Fan's lips twitched. How could these two teasing each other sound like they were doing a comedy routine?
Guo Fan: Lao Qi was right about the copyright of "The Three-Body Problem"; it really didn't work out.

Lu Yang: What's going on?

He knew about the book "The Three-Body Problem" because Guo often read it when he was studying and exchanging ideas in Hollywood.

My senior also played Zhang Beihai's father once; of course, it was Guo Degang who played Zhang Beihai.

Actually, it's not just because of Guo Degang; many people are recommending "The Three-Body Problem," such as Lei Jun of Xiaomi.

Guo Fan sighed and tapped his fingers, quickly typing on the keyboard: "The copyright of this work is not in the hands of the original author, but in the hands of a director named Zhang Fanfan."

"This person bought the rights to 'The Three-Body Problem' back in 09, but only now is he preparing to film it."

“A few days ago, he invited a bunch of film and television companies to a meet-and-greet, preparing to make ‘The Three-Body Problem’ into a movie.”

Qi Hui: I vaguely remember what you said. Xiao Yang told me about this meeting, but he didn't mention "The Three-Body Problem". Instead, he mentioned Zhang Fanfan.

"This guy is a newbie. He got lucky and landed a high-scoring TV series, then entered the film market, but the more he made, the worse it became. He's just like Teng Huatao."

Guo Fan: Haha, that's a very accurate assessment, but there's actually another point: all those flop movies were written by his wife.

Lu Yang: What happened next?

Guo Fan: At the press conference, Zhang Fanfan and his wife stated that they could authorize the copyright of "The Three-Body Problem," but with two conditions: he would direct the film adaptation of "The Three-Body Problem," and his wife would be the screenwriter.

"The second requirement is an investment of over 200 million yuan."

Lu Yang: That sounds familiar. Cameron made the same request when he made Terminator, right?

Qi Hui: Obviously, he compares himself to Cameron.

Guo Fan: This trash isn't Cameron, and his wife isn't Anne Hurd either!

"His wife actually thinks The Three-Body Problem is a story full of philosophical and religious meaning. This female screenwriter even tried to sell us her script, saying that her script is full of Zen. Damn it!"

Towards the end, Lao Guo started swearing.

The Three-Body Problem, a profound and grand science fiction story, has absolutely no Zen-like qualities!
Guo Fan was so angry he wanted to hit them. These two good-for-nothings, holding such a good thing, were wasting their time and accomplishing nothing.

It made his heart ache and he felt incredibly sad!

Lu Yang: So what are you going to do now?

Guo Fan: There's no hope for The Three-Body Problem. Let's look for something else and see.

"During this period, I mainly avoided those investors. They stuffed more than two hundred scripts for youth romance movies into my mailbox, and just looking at them gave me a headache."

Qi Hui: Are you showing off?

Qi Hui replied, but as he scrolled through the chat history, he suddenly realized something.

No wonder Guo Degang made "The Wandering Earth." It turns out it wasn't that he didn't want to adapt "The Three-Body Problem," but rather that the copyright had been taken by someone else. Qi Hui stroked his chin thoughtfully. He did want to make a TV series adaptation of "The Three-Body Problem," but given the current situation, it seemed a bit unrealistic.

"Never mind..." Qi Hui suppressed the thought in his mind. He still had two projects waiting to be pushed forward.

We'll talk about the TV series adaptation of "The Three-Body Problem" later.

"Old Qi, the plan has been moved up. Get ready for the next act," Wu Jing shouted.

"Huh... Okay, coming!"

……

As the arduous filming work continued day by day, Wu Jing became increasingly adept at it.

However, he also saw Lu Yang's message in the group, and his originally good mood suddenly turned into a toothache.

But there was no other way but to bring in the producer and production manager to discuss adjusting the shooting schedule.

The producer and production manager groaned in despair, but there was nothing they could do but obediently adjust the shooting schedule.

Qi Hui is the big boss of the production team. The movie he stars in needs to be promoted, so we can't just not let him go, can we?

How could they possibly have the guts?

Besides, even if they had the guts, they couldn't stop them!
Wu Jing also sped up the filming schedule, which added even more pressure to the crew members.

Wu Jing had no choice but to pay more.

If we don't offer more money, who will risk their lives?

Doing such heavy work in this heat is practically risking your life.

Fortunately, someone came to visit the set that day, which relieved the entire crew.

Thank goodness, we can take a break now.

The people who came to visit the set were Xie Nan and his father, who was also Wu Jing's father-in-law.

Of course, Jing Tian was also with them.

She also came to see Qi Hui.

Upon seeing Qi Hui, Jing Tian couldn't help but pout, then gritted her teeth. Damn Wu Jing, how can you treat people like this?
Qi Hui has lost weight!
She looked Qi Hui up and down with heartache, and found him even thinner than when he was a militiaman in Hainan Province!
Wu Jing felt awkward and speechless. After thinking for a moment, he decided to give the whole group a day off.

Let's all take a rest.
Actually, the main reason is that he wants to spend time with his wife.

First, accompany your father-in-law to visit the film set, let him play with guns and such, since your father-in-law was also a soldier.

Moreover, he joined the army in the 70s and 80s, so it's unknown whether he ever saw combat.

According to Xie Nan, when Wu Jing first visited, his father-in-law and Wu Jing, both drunk, addressed each other as brothers.

This generational hierarchy is quite interesting.

Meanwhile, Jing Tian led Qi Hui away from the desolate wilderness and back to the city to have a good meal!
You've gotten so thin, you really need to eat more!
Qi Hui had no choice but to let Jing Tian make the decision.

To be honest, he thinks he's doing pretty well now. He's gotten better in physique, stronger, and even his eyes have become sharper.

He's a living, breathing Wolf Warrior!
Well... mainly because he abstained from alcohol and sex during this period, and avoided being harmed by them, he certainly didn't look haggard.

Jing Tian also noticed this; although she had become thinner, she had also become stronger.

That being the case...

After Qi Hui finished his meal, she changed direction and bought him a set of fitness equipment.

It's not expensive, only 50 yuan for 12.

Get big results with little money!
Inside the room, Qi Hui looked at the Lan Jing in Jing Tian's hand and his face darkened.

You call this fitness equipment?
"Hehe~ Come on, darling, let me help you..." Jing Tian hugged Qi Hui's waist and pushed his clothes up.

Soon, well-defined abdominal muscles came into view.

Jing Tian couldn't help but swallow hard, hugging that familiar male waist, feeling a savage strength emanating from it... no, it seemed even stronger and more powerful than before!
