Yue Qingyan finished writing the manuscript and finished his breath, plus his trip in Hong Kong was over, and the Hong Kong pass that had been extended once was almost time. Originally, he was going to go back to SH after packing up a little, rest for a few days and then participate in another reader exchange meeting organized by the Thirteenth Fleet, but unexpectedly, Zhu Yu learned of his idea and immediately called and begged him to stay in Hong Kong for two more days, and confirmed that Yue Qingyan was willing to hand over the film and television adaptation rights of the two short stories to Hongju.

Although she hadn't had time to leave the contract yet, Xu Yingying, as a representative of Ming Qian, also affirmed the matter after greeting the boss. It's just two short stories, and it's good to be able to sell the rights to a movie adaptation. What's more, Yue Qingyan said that this was done in Hong Kong in the past few days, and it was completely accidental. Selling copyrights is equivalent to picking up money.

Of course, this reason cannot be said to Yue Qingyan.

As a result, Yue Qingyan had two more days. Zhu Yu asked Yue Qingyan to stay for two more days, and naturally he also needed to make a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, although he had to race against time to prepare for the work, but he did not delay making some preparations for Yue Qingyan and his actions. With local connections and resources, Zhu Yu easily arranged six Michelin meals for Yue Qingyan in the past two days: Long Jingxuan, Bo Innovation, Tang Pavilion, Ming Pavilion, Shang Palace, and Xin Tongle...... Being able to arrange these six meals accurately is really quite level.

So, for two whole days, Yue Qingyan spent happily in eating, eating, walking and eating. At the same time, Mo Ersheng gained four pounds, Fang Anxin gained two pounds, and Xu Yingying was more powerful, gaining six pounds! So, the next night, after weighing herself in the room, she went to the gym with a pale face to torture herself. As for the meeting with Red Horse Press? That doesn't matter at all.

Yue Qingyan didn't ask Zhu Yu what he was going to do at first, since he had promised to give her the film adaptation rights, it should be something related to the movie. However, Yue Qingyan would not have thought that Zhu Yu would actually bring Lala miscellaneous little thirty people to the meeting together.

"This is the director I am going to assign to Victoria One, Zhao Tianzhao. This is the director who is going to be used for "Cold War", Xu Yuqing. This is He Chaoyi, who recommended herself to star in "Victoria No. 1" after reading the novel...... several leading actors in "Cold War" have basically been confirmed, but they are more attention-grabbing, and the schedule is also tight, so I didn't call them over. And then...... This is the owner of the best special effects studio in Hong Kong, Ji Weiming ......"

Mr. Zhu ...... ...... you are," Yue Qingyan seemed to understand something.

"In a few days, I have already finalized the plan to make a total of three films, from the investment level to the cast and crew level. According to the insider's saying, it's called saving a game. Zhu Yu smiled happily and said with a tired but confident smile: "Although it is not 100% of my ideal lineup, the current lineup should also be the strongest lineup in Hong Kong in recent years." ”

"This ...... Mr. Zhu," Yue Qingyan said, "Your efficiency is really ...... But we haven't signed a film and television licensing agreement yet?"

"You promised me that it was no problem, and I believe in your promise. I know there's a risk, but nobody is going to be able to put this roster together, and it's ...... This is also my sincerity. The two adaptation rights must be won at a higher price than the market price, and you will not be at a loss. Zhu Yu said: "We are acting as your "Yinying", which is also a credit bonus." ”

"But it's too fast. Yue Qingyan said: "It's preparation...... Do you want to start it now?"

"Yes. Zhu Yu said: "The novel is very mature, or rather, when you write, you are almost writing according to the framework of the movie, and it is really changed into a script in minutes." It took us a few days to finalize a series of contracts, and we were ready for synchronization, and the team was set up in a week, and the system was started within a month. ”

"Contract: I'll do it as soon as possible. I communicated with me before tomorrow, and everything was fine. Yue Qingyan said: "Mr. Lian asked you, can you give 5% of the investment share before Ming?"

Xu Yingying is not here, otherwise it would be more appropriate for her to raise this question.

"5%? Zhu Yu agreed. "At present, the investors I have confirmed are Yindu Institution, Bank of China Hong Kong, and Shanghai Film Media Asia, each with a 15% contribution. I made a budget of 20 million Hong Kong dollars for "Victoria One", and the budget for "Cold War" was relatively high, 200 million Hong Kong dollars, and I will add it if necessary. With a total market of 220 million Hong Kong dollars, the three companies combined to invest 99 million. Hongju Publishing House directly invested 44 million, and our parent company, Jincheng International, invested 44 million. There is also a 20% investment share. Hong Kong issuers do not need to give shares, but whether there are any mainland issuers willing to enter the market still needs to be considered. However, giving the first 5% investment option is no problem at all. Looking back, there are issuers in the mainland who are willing to enter the game, so everyone will be diluted. ”

Zhu Yu has obviously considered the whole market: "I haven't had time to communicate in the mainland, in fact, I think it may be easier to deal with it there than in Hong Kong." ”

So many people called by Zhu Yu are usually mixed in the film circle, although they also got together because of the same thing, and they all whispered on the side. Zhu Yu and them didn't say much, so they said that they would come to meet the original author. These people were a little surprised by Yue Qingyan's youth, but no one dared to underestimate this seemingly inconspicuous author.

Hong Kong's economy is not very good now, and many economic development indices are actually highly dependent on the mainland, even if the film industry relies on Hong Kong's distribution, the slightly larger cost of the film cannot be recovered. As a result, the vicious circle leads to more and more deviant and artistic local content, which increasingly depicts the life and despair of the underclass. Movies are a reflection of reality, so why do you play like this? Is it just that life is not good, and the hearts of filmmakers are also gray? Why don't you make big productions? There is no money. is really rich, and art films and literary films can also be played very high.

And what these people dare not underestimate is Zhu Yu. After all, they were separated from Yue Qingyan, and they couldn't see his energy clearly. However, in just a few days, Zhu Yu saved up three movies and two complete film teams. The investment from the institutions she said was easy to get, but she got the money she wanted with almost no twists and turns with two novels. The three originally wanted to give themselves a little more share, but Zhu Yu didn't want it.

Besides, Hongju Publishing House took out 44 million at once, and the parent company took out another 44 million, which is a bit scary. Zhu Yu had never played a movie before and didn't know the situation. Film projects rarely have all the money received before the start of filming, and many of them are allocated while filming, so that the funds and payment pressure of the participating companies are less. But Zhu Yu doesn't understand this, it's okay to ask for a share, and the money will arrive before the specified time. The money of Hongju Publishing House and the parent company is already in the special account, the money from Bank of China Hong Kong has arrived, and the money from Yindu will arrive tomorrow...... If Zhu Yu is willing to speak, almost all the money for the movie can be received before the establishment of the group.

Where have Hong Kong filmmakers seen this kind of tyrant practice in recent years, it's one thing to ask for this money. The attitude to come to this money is another matter. And Zhu Yu only used a phone call to get the parent company and told the boss about the situation.

As for getting the cast and crew, it's even simpler. The protagonist wants to read the story, so he directly sends someone to send the printout over, read it in person and then recycle it. Supporting roles and other staff, Zhu Yu signed directly with the schedule contract: specify a few months, ask you for such a role or position, a lot of money, sign or not? These people have never seen such a cast and crew sign.

But with this simple and rude style, Zhu Yu really did it.

Yue Qingyan exclaimed: "Just your style of saving the game, you can write a story." ”

Zhu Yu said with a smile: "Because I believe that these two films can make money and open up the situation." ”

Yue Qingyan said seriously: "Then, please." ”

Zhu Yu smiled and said, "This is what I should do." ”

Yue Qingyan stood up and said to everyone present, "Thank you, I didn't expect it to be so fast. I have seen Mr. Zhu's courage. Thank you for coming today, we know each other. I didn't know anything about film, and I wasn't likely to learn from everyone because of my work. These two stories, please leave it to you. Can Mr. Zhu help arrange it? I'll invite everyone to have a drink together. ”

Zhu Yu smiled and said, "No problem." ”

He Chaoyi was originally the heroine of "Victoria No. 1", but this time it was still her, which made Yue Qingyan have the idea of the Heavenly Dao cycle. He Chaoyi is very easy to deal with, and when she saw Yue Qingyan say this, she suddenly interjected and said, "Alas, don't you come to play along?" It won't take much time, and "Victoria No. 1" will be finished in dozens of days. ”

Yue Qingyan said: "I also want to follow, I can learn a lot of things." But I have quite a few work schedules. Writing and pleasing readers is my job and my foundation. If you don't lay a solid foundation, you don't dare to run around. But don't worry, I think there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future. ”

Neither Mo Ersheng nor Fang Anxin could make such a decision on behalf of Yue Qingyan, but they also applauded Yue Qingyan's decision. The movie is a tall thing, especially the lineup this time, it can be said that whether it is in Hong Kong, the mainland, or even in the Asia-Pacific circle, it can be regarded as quite luxurious. It's really casual to say that it's learning along with it, but how much light is it with the group? As the original author, the opportunities for various media exposure will also increase a lot. But Yue Qingyan still insists on writing things and taking the path of readers, and this mentality is really very flat. However, it is true that as he himself said, there will be no shortage of opportunities for cooperation in the future.

Zhao Tianzhao asked: ""Victoria No. 1" is really only a month, how can it be filmed. Mr. Yue, your creative efficiency is too high. Let's see if there are any ideas, we can work together round after round. Mr. Zhu's resources here are very good, and it doesn't take you too much effort to do this business. There are good stories, but you still have to think about us. Xu Yuqing's "Cold War" is estimated to take a year, but I do it quickly. ”

"It's still hard work to write. Yue Qingyan said modestly: "But I do have other stories in reserve." Director Zhao, Mr. Zhu, let me go back and think about it. If I could, I would like to do a series of Hong Kong themes. Wait for Director Zhao to finish "Victoria No. 1", or wait for Mr. Zhu to have time, and we'll see you at SH in a few months?"

Zhu Yu's heart moved and nodded. "For these two movies, I also tested the water. If it can be successful, it will sell well. In the future, we will be this fixed capital disk, and we will do it round by round. ”

"It's what you want. Yue Qingyan said happily.
