Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 91 Negotiation

After the premiere of "Happy Jingle Bell", Su Cheng asked Liang Shuyi to start promoting the movie "Dragon Tiger".

Taking advantage of the popularity of "Dragon Tiger" in Hollywood, it would be good to stimulate the box office.

The most important thing is that Su Cheng wants to praise Chow Yun-fat and give him the best chance of winning the best actor award at the second Hong Kong Film Awards.

At the same time, "Happy Ghost" has been released at Tengyue Cinemas in Hollywood. The box office has reached a total of 10.64 million US dollars. Maybe it is the particularly funny part of the "Campus Games" that leads to this high box office?

But overall, it is a good thing. By the way, it also allows Zhong Chuhong and others to make their debut in Hollywood.

Just when everything was on track, the movie "Unstoppable Love" produced by Xiang Huaqiang was finally released. The name of the movie was changed after Su Cheng accidentally let it slip.

Not to mention, the use of Ng Man Tat's name for promotion also caused the media to reveal that Tony Leung Ka Fai, who plays the leading actor, had previously rejected the famous director Li Hanxiang because of participating in this film. Suddenly, ticket buyers flocked to

to.

The premiere actually broke a record, reaching a box office of HK$760,000.

This was something Su Cheng and Xiang Huaqiang never expected.

Subsequently, the box office was higher day by day. It even pushed out "Jingle Jingle Bell".

At this time, Jin Yong, who had not replied to his letter for a long time, finally called Uncle Shao and invited Su Cheng to meet at a restaurant.

"Mr. Shao, Mr. Cha!"

"Boss Su!"

After everyone greeted, Run Run Shaw was the first to speak: "Mr. Su is really a formidable young man! Over the past year, he has suppressed us, Shaw Brothers, to the point where there is no room for survival. I'm afraid if this continues, we won't be able to sustain it for long!"

Hearing this, Su Cheng paused for a moment. Is Run Run Shaw just expressing emotion, or does he really have the idea to sell Shaw Brothers Cinemas now? Or even close Shaw Brothers Pictures?

He was confused and could only respond with a smile: "Mr. Shao is joking, in terms of film production, not to mention the old brand Jiahe, New Art City and Mr. Xiang's film company are both emerging. I can only say that the current

Hong Kong is a place where a hundred schools of thought contend. Shaw Brothers shows a slight weakness, but who dares to underestimate it? Once we get serious, we all together will not be able to withstand the impact!"

Run Run Shao took a serious look at Su Cheng, sighed softly, and said no more words.

Instead, Jin Yong on the side said: "Boss Su, I invite you to come here today. Uncle Six and I have already discussed it. It's okay to hand over my martial arts novel to you, Tengyue, for adaptation. However, Uncle Six's wireless needs to be kept."

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Deer and the Cauldron", "The Swordsman", "The Legend of the Sword", "The Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain", "The Jade Blood Sword", "The Secret of the City", etc. You can choose from the others."

Hearing this, Su Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Cha and Mr. Shao. Let's start by adapting "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon", and "The Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon"! Let's wait until

After the shooting, we will discuss it with Mr. Cha."

In fact, after talking to Le Yiling, they searched for a lot of information. In Su Cheng's impression, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" had never been adapted, but it had actually been adapted as early as the 1960s. After that, in 1976

At that time, Jiayi also adapted it. But it was not very influential, so few people knew it well.

As for "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer", both Shaw Brothers and TVB have already adapted it, leaving it to Teng Yue.

On the contrary, "Dragon" was adapted by Shaw Brothers, but it is not ideal. TVB does not plan to buy any more of it for the time being.

What makes Su Cheng a little confused is why TVB still needs "Legend of the Condor Heroes"? Is it to continue Michelle's good story?

As for "The Deer and the Cauldron" and "The Swordsman", Su Cheng was quite disdainful. Among the directors at TVB, not many of them had a good vision, but they were able to let Chow Yun-fat play Linghu Chong? That's awesome!

The effects of the other adaptations were not very good, and Su Cheng was not interested in bothering with it. But when I heard "The Secret of the City", I remembered the movie "Xiao Shiyilang" starring Wu Qilong in later generations. There is a protagonist in it

It’s called Liancheng Jue, or Liancheng Bi or something like that. I heard that Xie Xian played the role of Xiao Shiyilang a few years ago.

Hey, it's so jarring! He looks romantic, but not chic! Can he act well?

At least Wu Qilong's role is very good!

It's time to find someone to look for Gu Long and adapt his martial arts dramas "Xiao Shiyilang", "Peerless Two Prides", "Little Li's Flying Knife", "Huanhua Swords" and "The End of the World"

, "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", "Chu Liuxiang", "Meteor Butterfly Sword". If you count them like this, eh? There are more famous ones than Jin Yong's martial arts adaptations!

It seems that sometimes you really can’t hang yourself from a tree. Isn’t there a better way out?

Once everything is adapted and filmed according to the version in his own mind, it will be easy to surpass TVB in a short period of time! After all, in addition to these changes in martial arts dramas, Su Cheng himself is also a screenwriter and writer.

With so many scripts, there will be no shortage of good shows to film in three or two years!

Seeing that Su Cheng agreed and didn't get angry because of the small offer, Jin Yong was completely relieved. In addition to introducing good martial arts scripts to the mainland, he also wanted to see all the works in his hands in the shortest possible time.

Put them all on the screen. This is something that a writer is proud of!

Of course, you can’t just deal with it, you have to shoot well. Only in that way can you leave your name in history!

Literati, who doesn’t love good reputation?

After talking about the matter, a few people started ordering food.

At this time, Run Run Shaw showed a slight smile again. While drinking tea, he teased Jin Yong and said: "Xiao Cha! Once this cooperation is completed, I am afraid that within three years, all the works you have written will be on the

TV series. I wish you in advance to become a martial arts giant!"

"How dare you, how dare you?" Although Jin Yong has become famous in martial arts since the 1960s, how long will it last when there are only physical books?

Once there is a film and television adaptation, it will be really hot! This is also the original intention of why he wants to have a harmonious relationship with Shaw!

Having said this, he glanced at Su Cheng again and said with emotion: "Uncle Six! Boss Su's "The Cold Water" was also well written. I'm afraid no one will remember me in a few years!"

Before Run Run Shaw could speak, Su Cheng quickly waved his hand and said: "How can I compare with Mr. Cha? Simply speaking, the magnificent structure of historical figures combined with martial arts elements is not something that ordinary people can think of. Even if they think of it, they can't.

People can blend them together so smoothly, at least in terms of martial arts, you are a well-deserved super master."

This is not a compliment, but a true evaluation from future generations!

Jin Yong's contribution to martial arts dramas cannot be criticized by others. Even Liang Yusheng, Gu Long and others can only follow closely behind and surpass him, unless they choose another theme.

Run Run Shaw also nodded in approval and said, "Boss Su's words are good!"

When the two said this, Jin Yong was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say. He shook his head and was speechless.
