Dreams of the Fragrant River

Kang Jianfei threw the script to Xu Ke, and asked with a smile, "According to your opinion, it has been greatly revised. Now you should be satisfied, right?"

"This script is very good. [;Starting]" Xu Ke grinned, revealing two rows of uneven teeth.

In fact, the script of last year's movie was not written by Xu Ke, but he provided the plot framework and asked the screenwriting department of DreamWorks to create it. Xu Ke's own screenwriting ability is not as good as that of Gao Zhisen.

This final version of the script has been written for more than four months, and has gathered the efforts of more than ten people, including Kang Jianfei and Xu Ke.

First of all, the structure of the plot is much larger than that of the original time and space. Of course, because the plot characters of the original novel are too complicated, there must be many major changes in the script of the movie.

For example, in the original novel, Yu Yingnan, a female disciple of Emei, was changed into the male protagonist by Kang Jianfei, while Li Yingqiong and Yu Yingnan were brothers and sisters who loved each other.

Due to the preparation of the trilogy, the villain of the first part is set to be "Blood God Son" Deng Yin (that is, Ding Yin in the film and television works). This Deng Yin was originally the younger brother of Changmei Zhenren, but he was expelled from the school for violating the canon.

The general plot is that Yu Yingnan, a weak scholar, went to Beijing to take the exam and stayed overnight in a ruined temple. He happened to meet Deng Yin, who was expelled from his teacher's door.

Deng Yinben and Yu Yingnan hit it off at first sight, and the two chatted happily. Deng Yin made a big splash because of watching the devil, and wanted to absorb Yu Yingnan's blood to practice the devil attack, but he was rescued by Li Yingqiong who went down the mountain to practice. When Deng Yin was expelled from the division, his skills were almost useless, so he couldn't win against the fledgling. Li Yingqiong.

The chivalrous girl Li Yingqiong and the scholar Yu Yingnan fell in love with each other. Immediately, Yu Yingnan joined the Emei faction, and became a sister and brother with Li Yingqiong.

And when Yu Yingnan made some achievements in his practice, the two went down the mountain together to fight for justice. However, it was found that the people in a certain town were slaughtered by the blood cultivation method. The two fought against Deng Yin, who had become the son of the blood god, but was defeated in a mess, and could only escape in embarrassment by relying on the magic weapon given by the teacher.

Yu Yingnan couldn't settle down in his heart, because it was his unintentional mistake that Deng Yin got it, so he decided to end Deng Yin with his own hands.

After that, the male and female protagonists naturally encounter many adventures along the way. In the process of various Daguai upgrades. I met a lot of good friends. And Li Yingqiong used the purple and green swords in Mangcang Mountain, and Yu Yingnan also got the magic weapon Nanming Lihuo sword. In the end, a group of small partners worked together to kill Deng Yin, the son of the blood god, and Yu Yingnan and Li Yingqiong finally became a fairy couple.

to suit the taste of the audience. Naturally, some love triangles are also arranged in the film, but those are secondary, and there will not be too much ink when shooting.

In fact, the plot of the script is not very complicated, but the fun is much better than Xu Ke's, and the rhythm is completely the model of the blockbuster of later generations, which will make the audience feel good from the beginning to the end.

As for the second part of the trilogy, it depends on the box office of the first part before deciding whether to invest, but the villain of the second part has been tentatively designated as the ancestor of the green robe.

Xu Ke was originally afraid that the script would be written in four different ways, but now he is extremely satisfied. At least it's much better than the script he's come up with before. Of course, Xu Ke still made a lot of changes to the script, especially when shooting, he would make some changes according to the situation, but the big plot trend has not changed.

"You choose the actors yourself," Kang Jianfei said. "The actors who signed the contract last year will remain the same. But don't look for those who terminated their contracts like Zheng Shaoqiu. You decide which actors to replace."

"I understand." Xu Ke nodded, but he was thinking about which actors would be suitable.

The heroine Li Yingqiong is naturally Li Saifeng, which was agreed last year, and Zhao Yazhi plays a senior fairy. As for the protagonist and villain, the candidates are uncertain.

Xu Ke thought about it and suddenly said, "I'm going to let Liu Songren play the role of the villain Deng Yin."

Kang Jianfei nodded and said: "Liu Songren is very good. Among the actors in Hong Kong, he is still very chivalrous. It depends on whether he can play Deng, who has been enchanted."

"As for the actor Yu Yingnan," Xu Ke tapped his fingers and said, "What do you think of Zhang Guorong?"

Kang Jianfei was still very satisfied with Zhang Guorong's image as a scholar, but it would be hard to tell him to play the swordsman, and said, "Call him to try the mirror."

The male protagonist has already made an intention, and the remaining supporting roles are much easier to handle. Brothers and sisters Hui Yinghong and Hui Tianci can play important supporting roles, and students from the training class can also be brought in to make their appearances.

After discussing for more than half an hour, Xu Ke finally took the script and left with satisfaction, and Yu Kanping followed closely into the office.

After signing Wang Zuixian, Yu Kanping has been filming for the first few months. He specially created an urban romance film for Wang Zuixian. The male protagonist of the film is Liu Wenzheng, the superstar of Taiwan's music scene. The box office mainly focuses on Taiwan and Southeast Asia. This kind of film does not sell for any price in Hong Kong.

"Has the film been released, how is it selling?" Kang Jianfei asked casually. He doesn't hold much hope for this Taiwanese romance film, as long as it doesn't lose money, it's enough, mainly to let Wang Zuixian accumulate a little more experience in filming.

Yu Kanping sighed and said, "The box office is more than 11 million Taiwan dollars. After calculating, the cost is basically recovered, and it should be able to make some gains in Nanyang."

Kang Jianfei didn't blame Yu Kanping, but said: "Taiwan's local films can't sell well, and it's not bad to be able to break through 10 million at the box office."

In addition to serving as the general manager of DreamWorks Taiwan branch, Yu Kanping also takes care of other affairs - such as contacting Taiwan filmmakers, sending filial silver to the Taiwan News Bureau, and so on.

After talking about Wang Zuixian, Yu Kanping suddenly said: "I'm afraid Jin Chaoqun will not come to Hong Kong to film, he just wrote a letter of repentance at the news bureau. Jin Chaoqun invited me to dinner in Taipei the day before yesterday, let me say sorry for him, the sequel He will pay off the liquidated damages by selling the house, but he really can’t shoot any more.”

When it was first released, it was blocked by the Taiwan authorities and could not be sold in the Taiwan market at all. It was sold to Canton/East TV a few months ago, and it quickly set off a wave of Bao Qingtian upsurge. Then it was broadcast on more than 20 TV stations in the mainland one after another, becoming the most popular TV series in the mainland this year.

Hong Kong's hot broadcast on the mainland was published, and the TV series was praised for its high level of filming. As a result, it was targeted by the Hong Kong branch of Taiwan Central News Agency. This TV series was obviously filmed by the TV production department of DreamWorks, but Phoenix TV was also shot while lying down, and was besieged by many right-wing newspapers in Hong Kong.

As for the leading actor Jin Chaoqun, under the threat of the Taiwan authorities, he honestly went back to write a letter of repentance. I am afraid that he will not be able to film in Hong Kong again within a few years.

"The news bureau didn't make it difficult for DreamWorks' films?" Kang Jianfei asked, this was what he cared about the most.

Yu Ganping shook his head and smiled and said, "That's not true. The News Bureau and the Third Young Master pay tribute every year, and the Zhulian Gang also receives dividends. Both black and white are in place. As long as there is no major problem, the News Bureau It will definitely open one eye and close the other."

It can be said that the governance of officials in Taiwan is not easy. Although the current leader, President Jiang, advocates cleanliness and thrift, and also leads by example. However, the officials below are acting in good faith and disobeying. Even the sons of President Jiang are making more money than each other. DreamWorks pours so much money into the news bureau every year. It is really not in vain.

Just like this time, it was clearly filmed by the TV production department of DreamWorks, but it was made by Phoenix TV after investigation.

Kang Jianfei suddenly thought, if Xu Ke's release caused a sensation, it is estimated that the Taiwan authorities would really block DreamWorks.

In fact, Kang Jianfei is not afraid of losing the box office in Taiwan, but is afraid of the chain reaction after being banned by the Taiwan authorities. The reason why he still chooses to cooperate with the mainland is mainly because Kang Jianfei is a traveler and knows the future direction.

In fact, not only Kang Jianfei, anyone with a normal mind should know how to choose.

In a parallel space, after the Sino-British negotiation fell to the ground, many right-wing newspapers in Hong Kong announced that they would suspend their publications. It can be said that those bosses are making a way for their future. And Shao Yifu stopped the production business of Shaw Brothers a few months after the Sino-British negotiation, and turned his energy to the development of TVB. At the same time, he also completely turned to the Chinese government and donated several tens of millions to the mainland every year. study.

Jiang Zhiqiang's older brother Jiang Zhiwen, in the second year after the Sino-British negotiation ended, invested in the construction of Nanguo Cinema with the mainland, laying a political foundation for the future rise of Anle Cinemas.

Anyway, after it was confirmed that Hong Kong would return in 1997, the smart people in Hong Kong knew how to hold their thighs.

The funniest thing is that after the ban was lifted in Taiwan, Taiwanese investors could not directly go north to the mainland to invest in film production, so they invested the funds in Hong Kong companies, and then the Hong Kong director went to the mainland to make films, and then took them back to Taiwan for release.

Since about 1988, the film cooperation model of UU reading www.uukanshu.com Taiwanese businessmen paying, Hong Kong producing people, and mainland filming has started to run smoothly.

Yu Kanping came here this time to report the situation of the Taiwan branch to Kang Jianfei. The branch has invested in two films this year, one barely made a return, and the other lost more than 1 million Taiwan dollars.

Such a situation proves that Taiwanese movies are really hopeless. No wonder the Taiwan branch of Xinyicheng will stop production. For the sake of Mecca, they don't hesitate to tear up their faces with Zhang Aijia. The main reason is that Taiwanese movies can't make money.

"Jingle Bell…"

After Yu Ganping left, Zhao Yazhi's call was directly forwarded by the secretary: "When is it? You are still in the company and don't leave!"

"I'll be here soon, wait for me first." Kang Jianfei hung up the phone and went out, Zeng Bolin quickly followed.

After a month-long publicity, tonight is the semi-final of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant, and Kang Jianfei, as the organizer, naturally wants to participate.
