Xu Fei has a lot to do when he comes to Hong Kong.

Industrial layout, selection of films, financial turmoil speculation ended, earning more than one billion, Hong Kong dollars, negotiating copyrights, and participating in the Academy Awards.

He was nominated for Best Screenplay for "The Wind", ouch is so ashamed!

There are also best films, directors, etc., Gong Li and Zhang Manyu are both nominated, Gong Li is filming "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin" in Xiangshan, and will meet in a few days.

On this day, Xu Fei met with Jin Yong.

Jin Yong is very clear that black and white are in history, and there is no discussion. In the study, the old man was 74 years old, in good spirits, and his tone was vague, so he had to listen carefully.

"Mr. Xu is young and promising, when I go to the mainland, I listen to the people around me tell me that the drama you produce is good. When Hong Kong introduced it, I saw it, and it was really ......."

"You have won the prize, all by strength. ”

"Hehehe!"

The old man laughed for a while, with his own status, who is not respectful. This one doesn't care.

"To tell you the truth, I represent CCTV and Tianxia Company this time to negotiate the copyright, and I am ready to jointly shoot a martial arts drama. ”

"CCTV?"

Jin Yong's eyes lit up and asked, "Which book is copyrighted?"

"Dragon Babu". ”

“......”

The old man was silent for a moment and said: "Copyright is not a problem, it has been sold so many times and it is not bad this time, but I want to hear if there is anything more impressive to me." ”

"Heh, what do you think of the Hong Kong films?" asked Xu Fei.

"I was very angry that the Hong Kong directors changed my nonsense, and they often added content. To add it, why not write martial arts to fame yourself?

The child is not good, you can help me teach it, but you can't have a child, and it is said that it is Jin Yong's child. ”

The old man was indignant.

Well, so you sold it to Yu's mother? and sold it several times!

"Of course, it's not that my books are good, but that screenwriters nowadays like to take shortcuts and not bother with creating. If you change it well, I'm certainly not against it. ”

"I've heard a saying that there are only 36 kinds of joys and sorrows in people, it depends on how you match them. ”

"For example?"

"For example, Mrs. Ma, she is not only a bad woman like Pan Jinlian, she has her own tragic elements. If only the former is expressed, it is a lazy collocation, the characters are complex, and the three-dimensional sense is the most important. ”

Xu Fei Balabala spoke, the other party nodded frequently, and finally said: "Actually, in all your dramas, one of my favorite characters is Zhou Zhiruo in the Taiwan version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer". ”

"Oh? Why?"

She was enlightened by Zhang Sanfeng, and she handed over the Emei faction to Zhang Wuji, became a monk herself, and traveled all over the world.

I think this is a lofty place for artistic conception, such a woman should be chic and freewheeling, and finally become a generation of grandmasters like Zhang Sanfeng. ”

"Haha, this ending is really good. ”

The two chatted for a long time, Xu Fei didn't promise anything, but Jin Yong was very satisfied, this is a person who understands martial arts. And he also covets the strength of CCTV and the resources of the mainland, and wants to add some background to his works.

"Mr. Xu lives up to his name, and I am looking forward to your work. I just don't know, how much adaptation fee do you come up with?" Jin Yong half-jokingly.

"We have a tight budget, it's a big production, and it will take two or three years to complete. ”

"Two or three years?"

Jin Yong frowned, exaggerated.

"I'll do the math for you, first of all, I'm going to build a martial arts city. "Dragon Babu" and the Condor Trilogy have all expanded it. The first phase of the project will cost tens of millions, and it will have to be built for a year, right?

Then the exterior scenery was selected, the real mountains and real waters, the rivers and mountains, and the costumes of thousands of people, casting...... It takes more than half a year to prepare, right?

Anyway, even the house with the strip shooting, there is no 100 million can't be done!"

“......”

Jin Yong was stunned, it costs 100 million to make a drama, boy, why do you play me?

"So you just raise your hand and count less. ”

Xu Fei raised a finger and said with a smile: "How about a dollar?"

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

When Li Yu was filming "Eating Men and Women", he read Wang Dulu's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Wang Dulu is one of the five major families of the Northern Sect, and there are also Bai Yu, Zhu Zhenmu, and the lord of Huanzhu Mansion or something. The new school of martial arts is Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Liang Yusheng.

Li Yan liked this story very much and prepared for filming, but the financial turmoil hit and the filmmaker withdrew his investment.

looked for money everywhere, and finally found a good friend of Colombia, a Chinese-language filmmaker. Colombia took more than $6 million, and Li Yu scraped together a bank loan to make up the remaining funds.

This will be busy looking for money, and as soon as he heard that Sunshine had intentions, he immediately came over to negotiate.

Xu Fei, as the boss of the mainland, met with Lao Song, but for some reason he always felt that Li Yu had a bitter face, and he was also bitter when he smiled.

"In Hong Kong and Taiwan's martial arts films, there are very few connections to real emotions and culture, and for a long time it has remained at the level of sensory stimulation.

Martial arts films are the best channel for foreign audiences and overseas Chinese to understand Chinese culture. But what they come into contact with is often some vulgar and inferior parts.

Actually, I don't understand what Chinese culture is. Just like you say rivers and lakes, foreigners don't understand, but Chinese do? How do you translate it?

So my idea is very simple, make a martial arts film that foreigners can understand.

I want to integrate some traditional things like Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and ethics with something from the West, and I want to achieve a balance.

It's hard to explain this film with a single cultural factor......"

"Hah!"

Lao Song couldn't help but yawn, he didn't understand this set of crepe rhetoric too much.

Li Yu stopped talking, showed his trademark wry smile, and asked, "So Mr. Song, what do you think?"

"Very good, I'm very interested!"

Li Yu: "......"

You're interested???

Lao Song was like an uneducated turtle, and said cheekily: "Tell me directly, who do you want to find to act?"

"Well, I think the yin and yang of Yu Jiaolong and Yu Xiulian are very interesting. There are not many scenes of Yu Jiaolong in the book, and the movie is too thin, I want to add some weight to Yu Xiulian.

One is Yu Jiaolong with the outer yin and inner yang, and the other is Yu Xiulian with the outer yang and inner yin, using the exchange of the two to promote the plot and amplify the proportion of women's drama in this movie. ”

Wen Crepe began again, and Lao Song continued to yawn.

"The script has not yet been finalized, but there are five main characters, Li Mubai, Yu Xiulian, Yu Jiaolong, Luo Xiaohu and the blue-eyed fox. ”

"Why is it called a closed-eyed fox?" Old Song wondered.

"Blue-eyed!

Xu Fei couldn't bear it.

"Li Mubai, I want to invite Li Lian to perform, Yu Xiulian, I want to contact Gong Li, Yu Jiaolong, I think Shu Qi is quite good, the rest is to be determined." ”

The process of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is complicated.

Li Yu really wanted to find Jet Li, but it is said that Li Zhi was pregnant and gave birth at that time, and his daughter-in-law pushed it.

Gong Li has also been in contact, and there is a report that she went to an event after filming "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin", mentioning that "if Li Yu's role is suitable, she is very happy to play." ”

Then I felt that it was not suitable and pushed it off. She often does this, but she still thinks it's not suitable for Lang Ping, so she pushes it three times......

Shu Qi refused by herself, for unknown reasons.

In the original script, Yu Xiulian and Yu Jiaolong played the same role, the so-called yin and yang. Due to Michelle Yeoh's accidental injury, the scene was deleted, highlighting Jade Jiaolong.

Xu Fei listened to the whole process, Lao Song had already been signaled by him, and finally said: "Sunshine can invest in this film, and we can also bring in mainland funds and American funds." ”

Without waiting for Li Yu to be happy, he continued: "But for the two roles of Yu Xiulian and Yu Jiaolong, we have some suggestions, of course, we have to reach a consensus together." ”

“......”

Li Yu didn't have anything to say, and with a bitter face, he nodded reluctantly.
