Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 90 Adaptation

As soon as Su Cheng returned to Tengyue Entertainment Company, as his temporary secretary and a front desk clerk who had stayed from Tengyue Hotel, Lin Xi said anxiously: "Boss, this is a greeting from Mr. Cha."

At a glance, it turned out to be a "card" similar to the "invitation letter" of later generations. There were only a few words in it, "We sincerely invite Master Su to gather at Qingyuan Teahouse", signed by Cha Liangyong.

No wonder Lin Xiu is a little nervous, Mr. Jin Yong, the master of martial arts! Ordinary people will not fall into his eyes.

Su Cheng shook his head and asked, "Did you say the specific time?"

"Tomorrow morning at 9:30."

After waving his hand and letting Lin Xian go out, Su Cheng began to wonder why Jin Yong was looking for him. It seemed that the two of them had no intersection! If so, it was between him and Run Run Shao. It couldn't be about "his six-year relationship".

"Uncle", shall we raise an army to investigate?

Don't think too much about it, you will know it after meeting you. Then, you start busying yourself with your own things.

…

The next day, Qingyuan Tea House.

When Su Cheng went in, Jin Yong was already drinking tea slowly and leisurely inside. Seeing this, Su Cheng was stunned. No wonder he wrote those "noble characters", the original materials in real life!

After approaching, Su Cheng said respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Cha! I am Su Cheng."

"Oh, it's Master Su! Please sit down!"

After sitting down with suspicion, Su Cheng asked puzzledly: "I don't know why Mr. Cha calls me master?"

Jin Yong smiled, took out a newspaper, and motioned for him to take a look.

It turned out to be the newly released "The Cold War" serialized in "Hong Kong Entertainment Weekly" which I founded!

In an instant, Su Cheng remembered something. When Jin Yong was being interviewed, he said with an appreciative attitude: "If you read a book, just read Wen Ruian."

The work mentioned is exactly one of the masterpieces, "The Cold Water". It seems that Jin Dashen has a special liking for this book!

Su Cheng smiled awkwardly and said: "I don't dare to take the title of master. In front of you, a martial arts master, I am just making a small fuss."

Jin Yong felt very comfortable with the compliment, and then said the reason for his visit: "I wonder if Boss Su would like to give this book to Ming Pao for serialization, or even for later publication and printing?"

"Oh?" This is quite unexpected. After all, logically speaking, Jin Yong should know that "Hong Kong Entertainment Weekly" is a newspaper under his name! The current sales volume has steadily surpassed "Ming Pao". It is definitely impossible to change newspapers.

As for publishing physical books, there is no need to hand them over to the other party!

Seemingly seeing Su Cheng's doubts, Jin Yong said bluntly: "Boss Su may not know, but in addition to publishing "Ming Pao" in Hong Kong, I also have connections in "Ta Kung Pao" and occasionally write articles for it.

Newspapers and periodicals will be spread to the mainland."

Hearing this, Su Cheng's eyes flashed. That's it! For the current mainland, novels such as "Looking for Qin" and "Myth" are not suitable for blatant serial publication. And martial arts genres such as "The Cold Water"

is different.

In addition, Su Cheng also understood that Jin Yong himself had very deep connections in the mainland. I remember that when Bruce Lee was still alive, he showed his films to the great Mao, and received endless admiration.

.It was also like this that he and Run Run Shaw became "long-lasting friends". He called Run Run Shaw "Sixth Uncle" and the other party called him "Xiao Cha".

Since then, most of Jin Yong's martial arts dramas have been handed over to Shaw Brothers and TVB for adaptation. That era was more than a year ago at the end of the first half of 1979.

While thinking, Su Cheng asked: "Mr. Cha, I'll leave this matter to you, no problem. However, you also know that I own Tengyue TV Station. Although I may compete with Uncle Liu, once you take Uncle Liu

If you let us work on the works that have not yet been adapted, at least within the shortest time, most of your works will be known to the world."

"You want the right to adapt it?" Jin Yong was also very surprised.

After thinking about it, I thought, "I'm afraid this won't work."

Su Cheng said with a smile: "What do you think of this? Whether it is Uncle Liu or Tengyue, we adapt and film one of your works. After two years, it can be handed over to another company for adaptation and broadcast again. In this way, for

Wireless, Tengyue, and even you, are all the most beneficial, how about it?"

Afraid that Jin Yong would still hesitate, Su Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Cha, our Teng Yue only wants the rights to adapt the TV series. As for the movies, we will give them all to Uncle Six."

"This..." After a long silence, Jin Yong said: "You are still a fool."

Then he sighed and said: "Let's do this. I will consider this matter again and discuss it with Uncle Six. I will let you know when there is news."

"Then please trouble Mr. Cha." Su Cheng said with a smile: "I don't want you to worry about the matter of "The Cold Water"."

"Hey, you, you..." In just a short moment, Jin Yong became interested in the young man in front of him. Otherwise, how could he be so easy to talk to?

…

After walking out of the teahouse, Su Cheng went to Tengyue TV Station.

When Le Yiling finished what she was doing, Su Cheng called her over and said, "I just met Mr. Jin Yong and planned to adapt his martial arts works into a TV series. There will be news about this in the near future.

.Which drama do you think we should shoot first?”

Hearing this, Le Yiling was stunned for a long time before she said, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes! It can best capture the hearts of the audience."

The current version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has not yet been adapted into a TV series by TVB. The original version was also in 1983, with Andy Lau and Chen Yulian playing the male and female protagonists. The later version and the one by Louis Koo are considered the most classic adaptations.

"anything else?"

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes, right? Many people like Huang Rong."

Shaking his head, Su Cheng said: "The one adapted by Jiayi was pretty good. Now many people still regard Michelle as Huang Rong!"

But in his heart, his thought was, could Huang Rong have a soul without Weng Meiling?

Although I don’t know much about the actress Weng Meiling, more than 90% of people who like to watch "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in later generations watched the 1983 version played by her and Huang Rihua. It is a timeless classic!

After looking at Le Yiling, who didn't know much about martial arts dramas, Su Cheng began to think about it. Apart from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the ones he most wanted to adapt were "The Eight Parts of the Sky" and "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer".

The ones I admire the most are Hu Jun’s version of “The Legend of the Dragon” and “The Heaven and the Dragon Sword” starring Su Youpeng and Alyssa Chia.

Among them, "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" has not yet been adapted. However, "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" began to be adapted more than ten years ago. Subsequently, in 1978, a TV series starring Zheng Shaoqiu and Wang Mingquan was broadcast.

All in all, the ones that can be discussed steadily are "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" which have not yet been adapted. "The Legend of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon" is also promising. As for Jin Yong's favorite "The Deer and the Cauldron", Su Cheng

I don’t feel anything at all. This work was adapted as early as 1977, and Wei Xiaobao was played by Wen Xueer, who had already joined Tengyue TV.

After sorting out his thoughts, Su Cheng said: "During this period, please arrange for all the artists on the stage to take a few sets of costume photos. I have to pick and choose the suitable actors to participate in the performance. Remember, you can't stand on the stage.

There have to be some moves from martial arts dramas, sword swings, fierce fights, etc."

"Okay, boss, I will arrange it!" After all, this is the first time that Tengyue TV has adapted Jin Yong's martial arts drama, so naturally it has to take it seriously. Who knows, it will be able to attract a lot of "popular actors" in one fell swoop.
