King of Hollywood

"That's not right," Li Zekai, who hadn't spoken much, said at this moment, "Duan Yu and Wei Xiaobao are also considered to have enjoyed the blessings of the same people, right?"

"If you look at it more broadly, it's okay to say so," Adrian replied unhurriedly, as if he had expected such a question, "but with Duan Yu's infatuation, will he accept his name? It’s hard to tell my sister, not to mention that Mr. Cha didn’t mention it in the article, did he? As for Wei Xiaobao, it’s a pity that he was a little ruffian at the beginning, and he’s still a little ruffian at the end. www.)”

Speaking of this, he raised his hand to Zha Liangyong: "Of course, I'm not saying that Mr. Zha's writing is not good. In fact, we all know that this closed book is an anti-hero type. It's just, how much does every man feel?" Everyone has a dream of being a hero, no one has no experience of being young and frivolous, I believe that if I go to Stanford to inquire now, I can still find some of my past... um... some achievements, but boys always grow into men."

Pausing for a while, and glancing at the people in front of him, Adrian continued: "Maybe he once disobeyed his father, maybe he once went his own way and refused to listen to advice, but he will eventually find his own way, and slowly grow from a ruffian to a A real man, and stood proudly in front of his father to let him recognize his achievements. Just like those movies that can describe the growth process of people very well and wonderfully, they are all very good and outstanding works, Wei Xiaobao may grow up a little There are traces of it, but there are too few, too few, so it is not very flattering."

Speaking of this, several people present were a little silent, especially Cha Liangyong. The eyelids drooped and looked sad. Adrian thought about it for a while and then he understood. Most likely, he thought of his eldest son who committed suicide when he was studying in the United States. , and may not even be used in the future.

Fortunately, Liu Changle came out to smooth things over again at this time, and Adrian began to like this guy, and the people who can stand here are all well-rounded.

"All in all, even though Wei Xiaobao has seven wives in the end, Mr. Kewell still thinks that Zhang Wuji, who is still more courageous and capable than him, is more likable." He said so.

"One more thing. Although Zhang Wuji is indecisive, he will at least take good care of his two or four confidante." Adrian added with a smile.

"Mr. Kewell is really a romantic seed." Cha Liangyong, who had recovered, teased a little.

"In business, it is natural that I would rather teach me to betray the world than to let the world defeat me; but in terms of emotions, I would rather teach the world to defeat me than to let me defeat the world." Adrian said immediately.

"So from a personal point of view, I still like the Condor Shooting trilogy, and most ordinary people also like this trilogy." Before they were amazed or stunned, he immediately changed the subject, "Don't say anything else, just watch it. The number of times it has been adapted into TV dramas is known. Counting the one that Ms. Yang invested and filmed in the mainland this year, there will be at least five or six versions of "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji". Moreover, with the continuous improvement of production technology, and different people's understanding of these The works are interpreted differently, and new versions will be continuously shot in the future.”

"So, Mr. Kewell has watched all the TV versions?" Liu Changle asked curiously.

"Not all of them, but the last three editions. I've watched "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" in 1994, 2001 and this year." Adrian smiled slightly, his eyes sparkling, "Of course, I haven't read all of them. "

The attention of everyone in front of him was attracted to him again, he raised his hand very simply: "I know, you will definitely have to ask questions like which one you think is better, so I'll just continue talking. "

A few low laughs sounded immediately.

"Frankly speaking, this question is difficult to answer. There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, and there are many differences in investment, setting, director and screenwriter's understanding of the novel. Some of these differences make the story worse, while others make the story worse. Make the story more difficult -- of course, I don't like the ending of the 01 version." With Adrian's words, Cha Liangyong couldn't help laughing.

"The 01 version was produced by us, um... In the ending, Zhou Zhiruo lost her memory and finally married Song Qingshu." Fang Yihua explained in a low voice, and the others suddenly showed strange expressions.

"So let's talk about the characters," Adrian continued without paying attention, "In the third version of Zhang Wuji, when Mr. Ma is silent, he has a somewhat honest feeling, but once he speaks or starts to roar Immediately he will become another person, Mr. Su has a smart face, Zhang Cuishan is okay, but Zhang Wuji's words are somewhat lacking, so in general, Mr. Wu is the best, although he is not as good as Zhang Wuji in appearance It has a candid feel to it, but it makes up for it with good acting."

Then the topic changed: "As for the heroine, Zhou Zhiruo, this year's version of Miss Gao is undoubtedly the most suitable."

Hearing this, whether it was the Li brothers, Liu Changle, or Chen Yongqi, they all showed a clear or sure look. They are all well-informed people, not to mention the news that Gao Yuanyuan will appear in an American sci-fi TV series. Maybe they don't know the details of the relationship between him and Gao Yuanyuan, but as long as they have collected relevant information, it is not difficult to guess the details.

"According to Mr. Cha's description, Zhou Zhiruo is undoubtedly a beautiful, gentle, and watery woman. She never thought of becoming the head of the Emei School, but she had to obey the master's will and shoulder the future of the school. , and loved Zhang Wuji but at the same time had to deal with him, so when Zhang Wuji left at the time of worship because of the message from Zhao Min, the resentment caused by the inner pressure burst out, and he did many wrong things." Adrian is still so indifferent .

"In terms of appearance, Ms. Gao is very suitable for the role of Zhou Zhiruo. If she can also express the viciousness after transformation, she will be perfect. In this respect, Ms. Zhou in the 1994 version obviously did better, and She is also more suitable for the role of Zhou Zhiruo after the transformation, and the previous one tends to give people the feeling of excessive effort." He smiled when he said this. "I have to say that Ms. Yang's studio is really lazy. If you look closely, you will find that Ms. Zhou and Ms. Gao have some similarities in facial features, and their clothing designs are also very similar. As for Ms. Yu, Sorry, Ms. Fang, although she is also very good, but Ms. Gao and Ms. Zhou are too good."

Fang Yihua smiled lightly and waved his hands.

"And the other heroine, Zhao Min. There is no doubt that Ms. Li is the most dazzling of the three versions. Whether it is appearance, temperament, or acting skills, they are quite attractive. Zhao Min's unruly, arrogant and weird The elves are all revealed on her body." Adrian did not hesitate to praise, "Although the other two, Ms. Jia is not bad. It's a pity that Ms. Li's version is in front of her. No matter how hard she tries, she wants to surpass It was very difficult. As for Ms. Ye...unfortunately, I watched "Legend of the New White Snake" before watching the 1994 edition."

As soon as these words came out, the laughing laughter continued one after another. Even Cha Liangyong couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, these words were too hurtful.

The whole reception turned into Adrian's special. This is probably a rare and wonderful scene at a celebrity reception in Hong Kong. A Westerner talked about Chinese pop culture in front of a group of Chinese. Of course, some of it. Those who can understand will naturally understand, and it doesn't matter if they don't understand.

The night came to an end, and the next day, accompanied by several senior executives from TVB, Adrian visited their studio.

As I said before, the relationship between the media and TVB is somewhat different, and they helped in the reception held last night. The villas in Repulse Bay were also proposed by them, and even the villas were provided by them. You know, although it is lively in a luxury hotel, it is not as natural and intimate as in a villa.

Their channels can also be watched in the United States, but TVB is a wireless station in Hong Kong, and it becomes a basic cable station in the United States, and they are basically concentrated in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York, so TVB has to sign a contract with AT\u0026adband to broadcast. And AT\u0026adband is now owned by the media.

It is also because of this that although TVB does not lie to the major record companies in Hong Kong, the treatment of Universal Music is better. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Universal Music is not as powerful as other companies in Asia.

"Frankly speaking, after seeing these, you will know why TVB can dominate in Hong Kong," Adrian said in praise after walking around with Fang Yihua. , I believe Mr. Shao's career will be even more brilliant."

As for whether this will really happen, who cares, don't take compliments seriously.

"Yes, so we are trying to find a way to go north and further cooperate with the mainland, just like Mr. Kewell." Fang Yihua said tentatively.

"It's not easy. Dealing with the mainland is troublesome. Fortunately, I found a good partner." Adrian smiled noncommittally.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Kewell has also supervised many TV dramas. I heard that "Friends" was produced by you. What do you think of our way of producing TV dramas?" Another TVB executive accompanying him seemed to be about A woman in her forties, Fang Yihua's assistant, Le Yiling, who is currently in charge of TVB's human resources, immediately changed the subject.

Before Adrian could answer, the sound of footsteps came from behind, and when he turned his head, two beauties dressed in Manchu nobleman's flags were coming. Although they were in flags, they had been redesigned and packaged. What has happened is completely different from history, and the two women also have their own charms, and they both carry and have a temptation.

"Godmother, what's the matter with calling me here?" After the first one came over, he said hello to Fang Yihua and Le Yiling, and then grabbed another high-level person present, who was a few years younger than Fang Yihua, and started from scratch. Zeng Lizhen, who spoke very little at the end, called out affectionately, and at the same time looked at Adrian with curious eyes.

The latter one was much more reserved. After saying hello to Fang Yihua, Le Yiling and Zeng Lizhen, he stood aside and did not speak.

"It's like this. On the one hand, I will see how you are doing filming, and on the other hand, I will introduce someone to you." Zeng Lizhen smiled rarely, and said while holding her hand, but her gaze was somewhat complicated.

"This is a famous Hollywood director and the chairman of the media, Mr. Adrian Kewell." She immediately introduced. "Mr. Kewell, this is my goddaughter Li Zi, her English name is."

"Hello, Miss Li." Adrian stretched out his hand and said in Mandarin first, and then switched to English after noticing her blank look: "Nice to meet you, I'm Adrian Kewell."

Li Zi shook hands with him somewhat inexplicably and mechanically. Of course she knew who the famous Hollywood director Adrian Cowell was, but she never expected to meet him in this situation.

"This is really a surprise, although I guessed one or two. But I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic." Adrian smiled at Fang Yihua and Zeng Lizhen, and then looked at the other who came with him, not beautiful but very The characteristic woman: "There is no doubt that this is Miss Yu."

"You can call me, ne, Mr. Kewell." After the initial shock passed, Yu Shiman immediately reacted and reached out his hand first. Although there is not much expression on the face, the eyes are very bright.

"Godmother, this is..." Li Zi asked Zeng Lizhen in a low voice, frowning slightly.

"That's right. Last night when I was chatting with Ms. Fang and Mr. Cha at the reception, I compared the three TV series of "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" from 1994 to now. I think your acting skills and appearance are the best among the three versions. Yes, I didn't expect Ms. Fang to invite me to visit the set today, and she also pulled you over," Adrian explained, looking very sincere. "I gotta say,—may I call you that? Thanks, I say, you're really, really pretty."

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Kewell." Li Zi smiled casually. It doesn't seem to take it to heart.

"Of course, Miss Yu is equally outstanding." Adrian then turned to Yu Shiman.

"Thank you." Yu Shiman's answer was simple, but she smiled more than Li Zi.

"By the way, are you guys filming a TV series?" Adrian looked at their flag outfits. Could it be which TV series?

"Yes, a costume drama called "Golden Branch Desire", which tells the story of the harem battle during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty." Li Zi summed up the plot under the hint of Zeng Lizhen's eyes.

"Look. This is what I want to say, Ms. Fang." Adrian clapped his hands immediately and said, "You have a long history and are located in the financial center of Asia. There are countless themes that can be produced and photographed. All you need is to These themes are well made, so why ask me?"

Both Fang Yihua and Zeng Lizhen laughed reservedly. Adrian's words can be regarded as speaking to their hearts. In Hong Kong, when it comes to producing TV series, no one can compare with TVB.

"So, we might as well do some work on entertainment programs," Adrian continued. "According to my understanding, Hong Kong TV stations still have room to play in this area."

"Oh? Does Mr. Kewell have any good ideas?" Fang Yihua's eyes lit up, which made Le Yiling and Zeng Lizhen next to him a little strange. Don't you think it's rude to be so eager?

But Adrian immediately gave the answer: "I know that the Chinese have a habit of exchanging feelings and discussing things at the dinner table, so you call it a dinner, so why don't you put the dinner in front of the camera? No Too many people are needed, only one host and one guest are enough, oh, and a film crew. Then choose the location to visit according to the taste of the guests, and chat while tasting the food, which can not only make the interviewed celebrity appear more approachable , and can also introduce various delicacies in Hong Kong.”

The three TVB executives all squinted their eyes at the same time. This is obviously a very attractive proposal.

"Mr. Kewell is said to be unrivaled in terms of creativity. Seeing is worth seeing." Fang Yihua said so, and then exchanged glances with Le Yiling covertly.

"Thank you, I just happened to be at the meeting." Adrian said modestly, and then glanced at the two beautiful women on the other side.

Both Li Zi and Yu Shiman looked at a loss, as if they didn't quite understand what they were talking about, so they didn't know that some things were basically settled.

"Yifu, what do you think?" Fang Yihua asked his husband in Qingshui Bay, where Yifu Shao's current crew was building, with a probing look on his brows.

"What does He Liquan say?" Shao Yifu said without raising his head, looking at the fragmentary information that he had put together impromptuly in his hand.

"He thinks there is a lot to do. We don't have many shows on talk shows, but it's better to put them on pay stations," Fang Yihua said. , "Millionaire" bought from Americans is said to be his idea, I think Chen Ziyun..."

"It's up to you to decide." Shao Yifu waved his hand and interrupted her, "Let Li Zi go and accompany that Keweier."

The joy flashed from the corner of Fang Yihua's mouth, but she still put on a reminder: "However, Li Zhen said that Azi seems to be dating that so-and-so recently..."

"Why, the wings are hard, want to fly?" Shao Yifu snorted coldly, raised his head, his cloudy old eyes were shining brightly, he didn't look like an old man in his nineties at all, "TVB made her popular, Shouldn't she do something for TVB?"

"I'm just a little worried..." Fang Yihua said with a smile.

"On the three-acre land in Hong Kong, I, Shao Liu, still have a bit of a thin face." After finishing speaking, Shao Yifu lowered his head to look again.

"Okay, I know." Fang Yihua immediately lowered his eyelids to hide his pride in getting Shang Fang's sword.

"Then I'll leave first," she said, standing up.

"Let Yu Shiman go too," Shao Yifu's voice sounded again, "It's a blessing for Qi people."

The tone was still so flat, as if the king who could live and kill at will was talking about two tools.

Fang Yihua froze for a moment, then nodded briskly: "Okay." To be continued. . )
