Entertainment starts from Xiangjiang

Chapter 56 Sensation in Xiangjiang (please recommend)

"Mr. Chu, I wonder if the two versions of "The Swordsman" can be released before the end of the year?"

After pondering for a moment, Chu Ling showed a firm look on his face, and said solemnly: "Whether it is a TV series version or a movie version, I am targeting the New Year's Day schedule. I want to add another piece of music to the public during that festival where everyone is carnival."

Turn on the fire."

"Mr. Chu, do you have any expectations for the two versions of "Swordsman"?"

"Of course."

Chu Ling said in a deep voice with a fighting spirit: "No matter which version it is, I will create a new history, a new chapter in both movies and TV."

"boom"

Everyone, except the reporters, the guests present also looked at the confident Chu Ling in shock, and were all stunned by his bold words.

Is history so easy to create?

Whether it was the reporters or the guests present, their expressions changed, and they looked at Chu Ling with a heavy look of suspicion.

"Mr. Chu, how confident are you that you can say the bold words that create history? If what you say in the future is not worthy of the name, how can you be responsible for what you say today?" A middle-aged reporter asked solemnly in the crowd.

Hearing this, Chu Ling smiled and said: "This time, not only the movie version, but also the TV version, I will use some special effects shots. For this reason, I have contacted Director Xu Ke, and Director Xu has promised to contact Hollywood special effects for me.

company."

“Special effects are used in TV dramas?!”

Everyone looked at Chu Ling in shock. It can be said that this is unprecedented for using special effects in a TV series.

After all, in this era of Hong Kong, there are very few special effects in movies, let alone investment in TV series that cannot be compared with movies.

Speaking of which.

Looking at the shocked people, Chu Ling chuckled and continued: "Not only that, I will use the best equipment for shooting, and I will participate in the design of new costumes and props. For martial arts, I even invited Yuan

Jiaban joins.”

Speechless!

Everyone was shocked and speechless. Let’s talk about the best equipment first. This alone costs a lot of money, not to mention the costumes and props. Moreover, Yuan Heping’s Yuan Family Class can be said to be the most famous in Hong Kong.

Martial arts design team.

"Initial capital is 30 million."

Looking at everyone who was shocked, Chu Ling said sharply: "Of course, I have made preparations for additional funds. It is estimated that after the filming is completed, the funds will not be less than 50 million."

"boom"

This time, everyone was shocked and whispered, and countless reporters kept taking pictures of Chu Ling. For a moment, the entire hall was filled with the light of flash lights.

What is the concept of thirty million? What is the concept of fifty million?

Everyone present was shocked and dumbfounded. Not to mention a TV series with a small investment, even a movie, an investment of 30 million is definitely one of the largest in Hong Kong, let alone 50 million.

"This is shocking, the fun is yet to come." Chu Ling secretly laughed in his heart.

However, the breaking news cannot be told all at once, but must be released bit by bit in order to get enough exposure. What is said now is enough for the media to speculate for a while.

Immediately, Chu Ling winked at Nicole Robin who was on the side.

See this.

"Everyone, today's press conference ends here. The food and wine are ready. Please enjoy." Nicole Robin stood up and said with a smile.

Hearing this, most of the reporters dispersed knowingly. After all, there was enough breaking news today.

Some of the dissatisfied reporters still wanted to ask, but Nicole Robin, who had been prepared for it, suddenly exuded her huge aura, and was stunned for a moment. She and Chu Ling left their seats in tacit agreement and walked towards

Liu Tianwang and others gathered together and walked away.

Seeing this, the remaining reporters sighed and gave up, walking towards the dining table on one side. If they didn't go there, they would have to eat leftovers.

"A-Ling, you dare to say such things. If you don't do it in the future, what will you do?" Liu Tianwang came up to him and said with a worried look on his face.

"So, in order to realize what I said, you all have to come and help me." Chu Ling said with a smile.

"Us?" Liu Tianwang looked at the surprised people and couldn't help but joked with a smile: "It's okay to let me play, but with my handsome appearance, even if I'm not allowed to play Linghu Chong, Feng Qingyang can still do it.

"

Hearing this, Chu Ling smiled mischievously and said, "Don't even think about Linghu Chong following Feng Qingyang. I have prepared several roles for you. You can choose one yourself."

"Those characters?" Liu Tianwang looked at Chu Ling who was smiling evilly with a vigilant look on his face, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.

"Tian Boguang..."

Having said this, Chu Ling looked at Liu Tianwang with murderous intent in his eyes, and continued to tease him: "If you are not satisfied with this, Yue Buqun can do it. This is the leader of a sect."

Looking at Liu Tianwang who looked even more ugly, Chu Ling suppressed a smile and frowned pretending to be dissatisfied: "Are you not satisfied with this?"

"Okay, I'll suffer a little loss." Looking at Liu Tianwang who looked slightly relaxed, Chu Ling said with pain: "You can star in the Eastern Invincible."

Hearing this, Liu Tianwang strangled Chu Ling's neck with a murderous look on his face, shook him and roared: "Damn boy, first you are a thief, then you are a hypocrite, and finally you let me play the role of a eunuch?"

Speaking of which.

Liu Tianwang said in a cold voice with a murderous look on his face: "Tell me, how do you want to die?"

"Okay... okay... okay..." Chu Ling said in surrender: "We will not play a lewd thief, nor a hypocrite, nor will we play Dongfang Invincible. I will let you play a young hero with a righteous heart.

How about a master with a sword?”

"That's pretty much it."

After letting go of Chu Ling with satisfaction, Liu Tianwang patted Chu Ling's shoulder appreciatively and asked with a smile: "Tell me? Who do you want me to play?"

"kindness.."

Clearing his throat, Chu Ling said solemnly: "With a heart of justice and a master of swordsmanship, the role of Lin Pingzhi will be left to you."

After saying that, Chu Ling looked like he was about to save the world. He gently patted Liu Tianwang on the shoulder, then turned around and walked quickly outside.

"You brat, how dare you play tricks on me."

Listening to King Liu Tian's roar behind him, Chu Ling couldn't help but speed up his pace.

Just like that, a group of people left the hall laughing and joking, went to Tuberose, and played happily all day before dispersing.

During this day, Chu Ling used various means to finally confirm most of the roles. Liu Tianwang sadly played the role of eunuch Lin Pingzhi, while Xing Ye was not much better than him.

He plays the role of Tian Boguang, a generation of adulterous thieves.

.............................

Time flies by like water, and a week flies by in the blink of an eye.

After half a month of preparation, the preliminary preparations for "Swordsman" were finally completed.

First of all, the crew members. Chu Ling still looked for those who had worked together twice, but because this time it was not as simple as the previous two times, so after everyone’s introduction, the crew, from photographers, lighting engineers to on-site recorders, reached a total of three people.

With ten people, it can be said to be the largest crew in Hong Kong in this era.

In addition, Chu Ling also hired Yuan Heping and Chen Xiaodong as action directors and martial arts instructors, and a total of fifty pairs of dragon and tiger martial artists under the two men also joined.

The cameras, film and other props were all bought from Hollywood by Chu Ling. They are definitely the most advanced equipment of this era.

As for the costumes, the design drawings were designed by Chu Ling and Weng Meiling together. Most of them are the original costumes. Of course, Chu Ling also modified a small part to make them more gorgeous and more in line with the times.

After half a month of work, all the costumes were completed and distributed according to roles.

As for makeup, Zhao Mazhi found more than a dozen top makeup artists, and with Chu Ling's advice, he basically decided on the costumes for each character actor.

In addition, through Tsui Hark's introduction, the special effects company has also signed a contract with the Hollywood special effects team Industrial Light & Magic, and its production team has arrived in Hong Kong.

In addition, what makes Chu Ling even more delighted is that under the operation of Nicole Robin.

The copyright of "Wulin Gaiden" was sold to three places: Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea, and a total of 45 million was received. However, "Nightclub" was only sold to one place in Taiwan, and the copyright fee was only 350 million.

One hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars.

Including these copyright fees, Chu Ling had a total of nearly 60 million, but the actor's fees, costumes and props, and the special effects company alone spent nearly 20 million.

It can be said that after half a month of preparation, everything is ready and just waiting to start shooting.

And in this half month!

Chu Ling's exposure has completely overshadowed all celebrities, big and small, and has occupied the front pages of major newspapers in Hong Kong for half a month.

First, half a month ago, "Star Light News" added an evening paper, and opened up sales with the two novels "Jiuding Ji" and "Misty Journey", making the sales volume of "Star Light News" completely surpass that of "Ming Pao"

, became the number one newspaper in Hong Kong.

Chu Ling, who has serialized four best-selling novels at the same time, has been directly promoted to the altar by the media and readers. His reputation has even surpassed that of Jin Yong, who has not written books for many years, and the popular Gu Long, Ni Kuang and others.

After this.

"Starlight News" established a publishing house and published four separate volumes of novels at the same time. Even without Chu Ling, sales were still booming.

Although the sales volume of "Star Evening News" dropped by 30% due to the publication of a single volume as soon as it was serialized, after all, few people bought the book. After that, it rebounded a lot, and it did not have a big impact on "Star Evening News"

.

As for the "Youth Star Weekly" established a week ago, as soon as it came out, due to Chu Ling's popularity and the publicity of major newspapers, it immediately sold out, with sales volume catching up with Jade Dynasty.

Three comics such as "Dragon Ball" are even more popular among teenagers, completely surpassing comics such as Dragon and Tiger Gate.

Chu Ling also inevitably became a best-selling cartoonist with three serialized comics.

Coupled with the various news about "The Swordsman", Chu Ling was on the front page every day, and his fame continued to skyrocket in a geometric way.

In the past half month, Xiangjiang has been completely dominated by Chu Ling!
