Chapter 369: Jude Gen's Plans

Could it be that the "Queen Wears Prada" in the previous life was adapted from a one-step best-selling novel in 03 years, and now the author of the novel is estimated to have just entered elementary school for less than two years, and the copyright naturally has no source, but it saves a copyright fee.

The copyright fee is saved, but the fatigue will not be less at all, but will be more. The original one, he planned to adapt it a little and keep it for future use, but now if he wants to make it, he must make a complete change according to Hong Kong, so that the other one looks more like this adaptation.

If it's just an adaptation to the culture, it's really not too difficult, but the scope of the change this time is too big, and the brand of Prada should be reflected as much as possible, and the advertising is much more surging than the original one, which is also the fundamental reason why Lin Qingxia is a little unbelievable.

In fact, it is not easy to make many good movies into two versions or even more ways like Mo Fei. Take this "Fashion Witch" as an example, the original version of the 21st century has dozens of major changes to the original, in order to extend the adaptation of the movie from this, it is necessary to restore part of it on that basis, and it can't have too much to do with the original work, after all, it is something that is nearly 20 years apart.

Another point is that it is necessary to distinguish the flavor of Hong Kong and the United States, and it is necessary to make it easy for the script to change to the flavor of the United States, and close to ten years, ten years, or even twenty years later, in which it is no easier to need the energy of a trumpet than to write an ordinary script.

Let's just say that the actor of Millie, the female devil in the movie, has put a lot of effort into this alone. After selecting a round of actresses over the age of 40 who are currently acting well in Hong Kong, Taiwan and even Chinese-speaking regions, no suitable one was selected. Then the scope was expanded to over 35 years old, and then to Chinese actors. In the end, I thought of a suitable player, a veteran Taiwanese actor who has retired and moved to the United States, Hu Yanni, one of the twelve golden hairpins of the Yuan Clan.

Hu Yanni is a Chinese-German mixed-race child, her mother is Taiwanese, and she is an exotic beauty with a high nose and big eyes and fair skin. Just because of the mestizo. was not suitable for starring in costume dramas at that time, and after Bruce Lee led the wave of kung fu, he began to fade out of the film industry. It wasn't until '82 that the family moved to the United States.

If you look at it from Mo Fei's point of view, Hu Yanni is unlikely to be able to act in costume films, and even in costume blockbusters, such as the role of the blue-eyed fox in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Let this half-middle, half-ocean exotic actor play it. If you can't say it, it will have a different effect, and it will be easier to be recognized by European and American audiences.

Of course, this is not to say that Sister Pei Pei is not good, but to give an example, Hu Yanni has never learned kung fu, so naturally she can't make costume kung fu movies. But this phenomenon also shows that in the seventies and eighties, and then in the nineties, and then in the twenty-first century. Hong Kong filmmakers don't have a broad enough horizon, and they always make up their minds in their own one-third of an acre. Thinking is basically on several magic weapons such as nonsensical, small citizens, early fashion idols, and Jinliang Guwen.

Gossip, and Hu Yanni herself, at least in the film "Fashion Witch Devil", is the best choice so far, except for her, there is really no more suitable for the role of the female devil.

I remember too clearly, Aunt Mei's performance in the film in her previous life definitely brought no less than fifty percent of the success to the movie, and the rest is the credit of the director, other actors and crew, and the original book. Especially in the last scene of the movie, the scene where Miranda takes off her glasses, she was unequivocally shocked at the time.

The kind of self-sacrifice who knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers to go to the tiger mountain, coupled with the momentum and determination to insist on their own ideals, even though tens of millions of people block me, the feelings of loneliness, loneliness, resoluteness, etc., converge in a pair of eyes, that is the soul of the whole movie.

After choosing the role of the female devil, the rest will be easy to do. After all, I have only seen one Aunt Mei in my life, and only Hu Yanni is more suitable for making changes on the basis of Aunt Mei, so that the script can be reversed around the role, otherwise this film will not be able to make a feeling.

It took me three days to think about and revise the script, and it took me no less than 16 hours a day to think about and revise it. As for Hu Yanni, who has retired, she doesn't have anything to worry about, she just made a TV series last year, and she still made two more films a few years later, and another movie in the 21st century, not to mention this opportunity to gain fame and fortune.

The day after completing the script of "Fashion Witch", Mo Fei went to ATV again to meet Jude Gen. When I just returned to Hong Kong, I received a call, and it was also the Taiwan celebration in June, and it was time to go on the Taiwan celebration drama plan, and the two annual celebrations of the year are one of the most popular time periods for Infinity and ATV, which should not be underestimated.

Now everyone in ATV knows that the main supporter of his own family and wireless fighting in the ratings is Mo Fei, and every time someone picks up Mo Fei along the way, he will politely shout "Mr. Mo", which is more important than food and clothing.

When I went to Jude Gen's office, there was only one Xu Xiaoming, who was accompanying Jude Gen to watch the movie video, which was the Taiwanese children's movie "Good Boy" that he had already watched in his previous life.

After a few words of greeting, the two sides sat down, and before Mo Fei could speak, Jude Gen took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Mo, you are a big player in movies, you shouldn't know the movie "Good Boy", if we make a gathering like this, will it be very marketable?" ”

Jude Gen didn't say it very clearly, but he just understood it in his heart, this is also the face of the old fox. In fact, Jude Gen means that if he wants to remake the TV series version of this movie, he probably also wants to broadcast it in the summer to attract young audiences.

There is another meaning that Jude Gen did not say, which is to send a signal to Mo Fei that they ATV want to have more independent creation. Could it be estimated that the old fox at least already had such an idea, and to be able to create such a big business alone, Jude Gen would not be a person without an eyeback, how could he not imagine the serious consequences of relying on Phoenix culture for a long time, coupled with Xu Xiaoming's persistence. This thought was entirely expected.

Jude Gen and Xu Xiaoming's thoughts, I can roughly guess about the same, and several talent shows produced by Phoenix Culture are the peak of ratings. It's definitely going to stay, and ATV can't do that kind of show. In terms of TV dramas, in the future, it is necessary to gradually get rid of the influence of Phoenix culture, and it is best to introduce a few strong dramas every year to balance the two Taiwan celebration battles, and at other times, it is better to suppress self-made dramas.

But Mo Fei doesn't care, and he won't be in a hurry. It is said that the dramas of Phoenix Culture now have a large market in Southeast Asia, Taiwan and other places, and even have a certain number of viewers in Japan. Don't worry about having nowhere to sell at all. What's more, the biggest role of the TV series filmed by Phoenix Culture in Hong Kong is only to maintain and continuously expand the influence of Phoenix Culture, as for how much money can be made. It's not the most critical.

On the contrary, ATV, their ability to make their own gatherings is very poor, whether it is the former beautiful or the current ATV for many years. and even the future ATV. There are very few times to kill wireless on the series, and they are basically in a state of being suppressed by wireless for a long time.

Strictly speaking, it was indeed the idea of hitting ATV, but it was definitely not the idea of hitting Judegen, and it was not easy for ATV to start when it was in Judegen's hands, and the black partner was greatly disadvantaged by his reputation.

But that doesn't stop you from imposing sanctions on ATV. Since you are going to play by yourself, let yourself play for a while, I believe this must be good news for wireless. When ATV was hit on the head by wireless and the blood flow was difficult to support, it would not be the current price to cooperate again. The conditions will also be much harsher.

In fact, this process will not take too long, if it is fast, it will only take one or two dramas, and it will not be slow for more than a quarter, to be honest, ATV can't afford to play. Xu Xiaoming regards ATV as a test field, hoping to achieve high yields to prove his superior ability; But Jude Gen's funds can't afford that fertilizer at all, and the Far Eastern companies are still waiting for ATV to feed back, so how can they have so much time and money for him to waste; If you try it and you can't do it, you'll stop immediately.

It's not for nothing, it's all due to Judegen's personality and way of doing things. It is said that Esper is very buttoned by Esprian and Kui, which has been recognized by insiders for many years, but Jude Gen is not much more relaxed than Tycoon, and even played the set of "Fat Water Does Not Flow to Outsiders' Fields".

In ATV's countless generations of shareholders and bosses, Jude Gen is one of the very few who makes money, and this profit is mainly based on his buckle.

Ever since Jude Gen moved into Leigh's renamed ATV, the TV station has been known for its frugality, and is even considered mean by many. ATV's costume drama props and costumes all use the same costumes regardless of the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, and each employee can only use four pieces of toilet paper per day, including the annual benefits of the employees, and the coupons of the Far Eastern Bank in which the Qiu family participates in the shares. If you really want to say that in terms of management, the ATV in Qiu Degen's era was not very powerful, and it was beaten to death by wireless, and it was almost impossible when he was a thug.

Of course, how to run it is Judegen's business, as long as people make money, it will be successful, but if they have not actually run ATV, they are not qualified to say how the old fox is.

But judging from the perspective of a normal person, Jude Gen's purchase of ATV is definitely not because he has too much money and wants to reduce the fire, let alone to show how capable the tycoon is to be a foil for Infinity, even if he held Infinity 10% of the shares before buying ATV.

At the end of the day, he's still going to make a profit. As the saying goes, "it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift", with the windfall profits that Phoenix Culture made every effort to provide for the film, and then let him return to the small life of careful budgeting, can he stand it, can the companies in the Far East stand it, otherwise he would not have made false accounts.

Mo Fei has no worries, no worries at all, it naturally doesn't matter what he says, but no matter how he says it, he is a partner, and he also hopes that Jude Gen can make ATV better and more greedy, so in the end, he still has to persuade him.

smiled and said: "Uncle Qiu, I think it's better not to do this, to be honest, children's movies that play real kung fu do have a certain market because of the characteristics of children, but the market is not guaranteed if you shoot dramas, even if it is summer, I am not sure, at least I am not sure."

First of all, the limitations of screenwriting are too great, the plot of children's movies is very simple, and it is all attracted by the two words of children's room, and it is too difficult to change the movie into a TV episode, and it is a mess if it is not done well. It's not advisable to increase ratings through children's TV dramas, which are mostly adults these days, and even if they are broadcast during children's program hours, they may not be more attractive than other sci-fi programs.

Take "Home Alone" some time ago, for example, the global box office has exceeded 100 million US dollars, but it is only possible to make movies. Of course, this is just my personal felling, maybe there are still people who can be higher than the tricks, it mainly depends on Uncle Qiu's decision, I came today mainly to talk about the Taiwan celebration drama.
