Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 968 Be Strong
Xu Yuhan blushed a little after being ridiculed by them, and said with a smile, "I remember what Mr. Zhuang said, and when I have time later, I will go to the big market you mentioned."

Yu Dongyu smiled and said, "I think the washboard is a bit wasteful. I read on the Internet that young people don't use the washboard anymore, but kneel down on durians. You can still eat them after kneeling. It kills two birds with one stone."

Zhang Zhong shook his head helplessly, "How did you talk about durian from "Border Town"?"

Zhuang Yu patted his forehead, "Oh, yes, we are talking about "Border Town". Your book is relatively advanced. Why did other books come from behind and make a movie, and this novel has been silent for a long time?"

"Let's take it easy on "Border Town", I don't want to move it for the time being. Besides, "Jieyou Grocery Store", which is earlier than it, has not been filmed yet. This kind of thing is not done according to the order of the book release. Yes. Don’t tell me your books are filmed according to the time of publication?” Zhang Zhong said.

Zhuang Yu shrugged his shoulders, "I would like to book one book at a time according to the publication time, but the film and television company doesn't want to, they only pick up the popular ones, and they don't want to take part in the less popular ones, for fear of losing money money."

Yu Dongyu curled her lips, "What you said is that other film and television companies shoot TV to make money. If they know that they are losing money and still want to shoot, isn't that crazy? You can also learn from Zhang Zhong and spend your own money to shoot."

Zhuang Yu chuckled, "I'm also afraid of losing money, and I don't have any experience, so I guess I'll lose even more."

"Isn't that enough?"

Among Zhuang Yu's works, quite a few have been filmed, and there are many films with good reputation at the box office.

But not all of them are well-received and well-received. There are also some films that are unsatisfactory due to the level of directors or various other reasons. Although the box office is not bad, they are criticized by readers.

There are also some works, because they are too niche, so no director dares to touch them.

Shooting classics is a double-edged sword. If you take a good one, it will last forever, but if you don’t, it will be infamous forever.

Although this statement is somewhat exaggerated, it is indeed the current situation in the literary and film circles.

If Zhang Zhong gave "Metamorphosis" to others to shoot now, probably not many people would dare to shoot it, because it is really too difficult to shoot.

Not to mention filming, some people have difficulty reading it.

There is also "Border Town", this book is not obscure, but the image of Cui Cui in it is so classic that it will face a big problem in casting.

It is not easy to find a Cui Cui that is not accepted by most people. Just take the few present here as an example, they have different Cui Cui in their hearts.

Therefore, it is very challenging to shoot famous works, especially those with high literary quality and small audience.

Moreover, the film and television adaptation rights of Zhuang Yu's works are not cheap, and the film and television adaptation rights alone cost several million. Even if some authors want to make a low-cost gamble, they may not be able to.

"If you want, you can sell the film and television adaptation rights of several of your books to our company later, and we can shoot them when our entertainment company is free." Zhang Zhong said.

Zhuang Yu smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, I'd better hold them in my hands and wait for someone who is destined."

……

Because he had to take Pengpeng to Yangmei the next morning, Zhang Zhong only drank a little wine.

The others were not polite, and they didn't put down their glasses just because Zhang Zhong, the host, didn't drink.

In particular, Yu Dongyu and the others completely regarded Zhang Zhong's place as their own home, and even helped Zhang Zhong invite Lin Wenyuan and Wang Kewang to drink.

After a meal, Lin Wenyuan took a taxi back home, and the rest stayed and chatted with Zhang Zhong for a while.

"Old Lin drank to his heart's content tonight, I rarely see him drink so much," Zhuang Yu said.

Yu Dongyu nodded and said, "Indeed, President Lin always drinks half and keeps half of his drinks, but tonight is very refreshing. After a while, we estimate that he will probably be home. We have to call and ask to make sure he gets home safely."

Wang Kewang said, "Principal Lin and I haven't seen each other for a while, but I didn't expect to see him look a lot older this time."

"It's not because of Lin Xiang's matter. I heard that the father and son are very unhappy at home." Yu Dongyu said.

Hearing Yu Dongyu's words, Zhang Chong recalled that time when he met Lin Xiang in Huguang Yayuan. At that time, Lin Xiang was drunk and talked nonsense, but he also said a lot of truth. My father's arrangement has long been dissatisfied, and it only broke out in the past two years.

Lin Wenyuan hoped that his son would make a name for himself in the literary or educational circles, but Lin Xiang didn't like these things himself.

But what Zhang Zhong didn't expect was that this matter had troubled Lin Wenyuan for such a long time.

"Principal Lin really cares about the children." Zhang Zhong said.

"But his son doesn't want him to be so concerned. This is the sticking point between their father and son." Zhuang Yu said.

"Forget it, let's not talk about Lao Lin." Liu Yuan waved his hand and looked at Wang Kewang, "How is your old man recently?"

Wang Kewang said with drooping eyelids, "In that way, he is different from my grandpa. Grandpa has always been open-minded and knows his fate. But he is very irritable and irritable. He used to be like this. I didn't expect that he has not changed at this age. For example, It’s okay for you to care about his health in front of me. If you ask him about his health in person, he will definitely be angry. Before the relatives in the family went to visit him, he scolded him and said, “Am I going to die?” I."

Yu Dongyu pursed her lips, "From this point of view, your father's temper is indeed... a bit special."

"Other old people hope to have more people to accompany them when they get old, but he is fine. Anyone who goes to see him will be kicked out, not even me."

"Not even you?" Zhuang Yu asked in surprise.

Wang Kewang nodded and said, "Yeah, I just wanted to see him more and take care of him because I saw him getting weaker and weaker. But when he saw me go more often, he suddenly became unhappy, scolded me, and asked me to take care of him." From now on, I will see him no more than once a week as before."

"This old man does have a personality." Liu Yuan laughed, "It's better to be able to feel the old man."

"That's why I told you not to go for the time being. He is upset because a lot of people are watching him recently. When the matter calms down, I will make an appointment with you to go to him." Wang Kewang said.

"Well, I see, we are waiting for your contact."

……

After Zhuang Yu and the others left one after another, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Zhang Zhong hurriedly asked Pengpeng to wash and go to bed. It was almost eleven o'clock when Pengpeng went to bed.

But Zhang Zhong and the others didn't sleep. Instead, they sat on the deck chairs on the balcony after taking a bath and watched the night scene outside.
