Chapter 388: As soon as Zhu Immortal comes out, who will compete with him (II)

"Ma Zai, your mother specially made shark fin soup for you today, hurry up and drink it while it's hot." Ma Rongcheng's father carried a thermos box and pushed open the door of the ward.

Ma Rongcheng was still wearing bandages on his hands, and he was standing by the window looking at the scenery outside at this time, when he heard his father's voice, he turned his head.

"I can already smell the aroma." Ma Rongcheng sniffed his nose vigorously and said.

Ma's father untied the insulated box, put the soup into a bowl, and served it to Ma Rongcheng.

"It's so hot, why don't you use a newspaper pad?" Ma Rongcheng took it and found that the bowl was a little hot, and he was very puzzled when he saw that his father was holding a newspaper in his hand.

"I bought it from someone else for ten dollars, and the newsstand has long been out of the way." Ma Fubao opened the newspaper, found the page serialized in "Zhu Xian", and handed it to Ma Rongcheng, "Lin Youlun's new work, I think you should be very interested." ”

Ma Rongcheng put the bowl down, took the newspaper and looked at it, and sure enough, it was Lin Youlun's new serialization.

After only reading a prologue, Ma Rongcheng felt that the setting of this novel was very interesting, since the "Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" by the lord of Huanzhu Mansion, few people have tried this kind of Xianxia novel in classical style, Ma Rongcheng had thought about conceiving a comic in this regard before, but he didn't expect Lin Youlun to write such a story first.

"Okay, you drink the soup first, and then read the newspaper slowly."

At the urging of Ma's father, Ma Rongcheng had to put down the newspaper, drank the shark fin soup first, put down the bowl, and then immediately picked up the newspaper again.

There were not many serials in the newspaper, and after a while, Ma Rongcheng finished reading it, and after reading it, he couldn't stop his excitement. There is a very strong urge to know the story behind the road.

Hesitated for a moment. Ma Rongcheng decided to call Lin Youlun. asked for the manuscript of the book later, and he had already thought of the reason, so he said that he wanted to adapt "Zhu Xian" into a comic.

Ma Rongcheng was simply attracted by this story, and the wireless side urgently held a meeting to discuss the purchase of the adaptation rights of the TV series "Zhu Xian", but it was because of the surge in circulation of "Ming Pao" on the first day of the serialization of "Zhu Xian".

At the beginning of the meeting, Fang Yihua spoke first, whether it was her or Shao Yifu. He won't come forward this time, so he can only ask Lin Youlun from the people below.

Although Lin Youlun did not directly intervene in the management of wireless, his influence is gradually penetrating, for example, the "Voice" he is responsible for developing has now become a wireless ratings weapon, every time it is broadcast, it can basically beat the programs of the same period, and the ratings will even reach more than twice that of the second place.

Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua can see this momentum, but they can't stop it, and Lin Youlun's side is also more restrained, although Wireless has a lot of dependence on the programs he produces. However, Lin Youlun did not show much enthusiasm for the top management of wireless, which also dispelled some of the concerns of Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua. But it's impossible to put them completely at ease.

On the one hand, they want to rely more on Lin Youlun, have gained a larger market share, and completely suppress their opponents, on the other hand, they are worried that Lin Youlun's influence on wireless is too great, and will threaten their control of wireless too early.

It is precisely because of this consideration that this time they knew that the copyright of the TV series adapted from "Zhu Xian" would be very sought-after, but Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua still couldn't help but go to Lin Youlun in person, because they didn't want to leave outsiders with the impression that they would not be able to do well if they left Lin Youlun.

Of course, the TV adaptation rights of "Zhu Xian" must be obtained, and Fang Yihua directly gave a death order at the meeting, which made his subordinates a little embarrassed.

Lin Youlun is now the director of Wireless, it is said that fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, as long as this matter is opened by Wireless, Lin Youlun will definitely agree, the key is the price.

TVB's TV series have always had very strict cost control, and if you want to buy the TV adaptation rights of "Zhu Xian", it will definitely not work if you have a few millions.

It's not that Lin Youlun lacks these millions, but his worth and the influence of his works are there, if it is less, it will be self-worthy, Lin Youlun's shareholding in wireless is only 5%, he does not interfere in the management decision-making of wireless, and wireless cannot have more requirements for him.

"Miss Fang, can we change the way and not directly ask Mr. Lin to buy the copyright, but to cooperate with each other to jointly shoot this TV series." Liangjiashu made a suggestion.

"Where is the copyright of the TV series?" Fang Yihua asked immediately after listening.

Liang Jiashu said without thinking: "Hong Kong is exclusively owned by our TVB, and the copyright outside Hong Kong belongs to Mr. Lin, I think this will be more appropriate." ”

"We also have our own TV stations in these areas of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, do we have to buy this TV series from Mr. Lin if we want to broadcast this TV series at that time?" Zeng Lizhen has always been at odds with Liang Jiashu, and she will disagree with him whenever she has the opportunity.

"Then Miss Zeng has a better way to convince Mr. Lin?" Liang Jiashu asked rhetorically.

"We're talking about your plan, why is it involving me again?" Zeng Lizhen finished Tai Chi and kicked the ball back.

"Miss Zeng thinks that my plan is not suitable, and then you can't come up with a more suitable plan, so what do you mean by opposing it at this time?" Liang Jiashu did not explicitly say that Zeng Lizhen was deliberately making trouble, but this is what he meant.

"You ......" Zeng Lizhen got up from her seat angrily and glared at the sorghum tree.

"Enough!" Fang Yihua glanced at Liang Jiashu and Zeng Lizhen, who were facing each other at the conference table, "I'm not here to listen to the two of you quarreling, Lizhen, you sit down first, and Jiashu you continue." ”

Liang Jiashu glanced at Zeng Lizhen proudly, sorted out his thoughts, and said, "Miss Fang, I proposed to cooperate with Mr. Lin, mainly because of the special theme of this TV series, which requires a lot of computer special effects. ATV spent more than 40 million to shoot "Sou Shen Ji", and was scolded by the audience so badly after the worst, and now this "Zhu Xian" wants to shoot an effect that satisfies the audience, but I am afraid that the cost will be higher than this, of course, we can also reduce the cost, but the production effect is definitely unsatisfactory, and Mr. Lin will definitely not agree. I believe that Mr. Lin will definitely have high requirements for the TV series "Zhu Xian", and if we fail to meet his requirements, he will probably choose to cooperate with other TV stations, just like when we did not get the TV copyright of "Sou Shen Ji". ”

Fang Yihua thought carefully for a while, and motioned for Liang Jiashu to continue.

"There are two options for cooperation, one is that Mr. Lin invests in the production of this TV series himself, and then we buy the broadcast rights in Hong Kong from him; The other is that we also participate in a part of the investment, and then the copyright of the TV series in Hong Kong is exclusively owned by us. In fact, the funds required for these two programs are similar, but we can have more initiative in the latter, for example, we can recommend to Mr. Lin to use our wireless actors and use our studio, which is actually similar to the effect of filming this TV series ourselves, but the funds can be saved a lot. Liang Jiashu's suggestion is tantamount to completely handing over the decision on the production of the TV series to Lin Youlun, and if he cooperates with others, he definitely doesn't dare to say that, but Lin Youlun has a special identity, not only the director of wireless, but also the author of the original novel, and he will lead the filming of this TV series, who dares to say that he can do better than him?

Fang Yihua was finally persuaded by Liang Jiashu and agreed to give him a try.

And it's not just wireless that is also eager to try, after Xu Ke watched "Zhu Xian", he immediately had the idea of adapting this novel into a movie.

Xu Ke is so urgent, mainly because the "New Shu Mountain Swordsman" 6 years ago was not popular, and he left a deep regret.

That time, Xu Ke's efforts to challenge the tradition of Hong Kong films and create a new way of stunts ended in failure, and after this setback, he began to be a little disheartened with the technical art movie, until Lin Youlun filmed "Legend of the Night", the film special effects technology showed its unique charm, and Xu Ke's heart that had been silent for a long time slowly became alive again.

Lin Youlun used the idea of a revamped Western film to produce Hong Kong's special effects blockbuster, but Xu Ke wanted to try to integrate special effects into oriental films to achieve a more visually stunning film effect.

At first, Xu Ke was not sure if his idea would work the same way, but after failing once, he became more cautious, and it was not until Liu Weiqiang filmed "The Heroes of the Wind and Clouds Dominate the World" that Xu Ke was sure that this road did work.

The idea has been proven to be feasible, but Xu Ke has been suffering from not having a good script, he once thought about remaking "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" again, but because of the failure of the last time, it is estimated that no one will be willing to invest in him again, and this time the appearance of "Zhu Xian" provided him with a golden opportunity.

Xu Ke knows that there are definitely not a few people who have the same idea as him, and the best way to convince Lin Youlun is to come up with a script that satisfies Lin Youlun.

In this regard, Xu Ke has no shortage of ideas and creativity, but he needs to see the complete manuscript of "Zhu Xian" first, and he can only go to Lin Youlun to negotiate this in person.

The interview of "Zhu Xian", for a while, there was an undercurrent in the entertainment industry, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at the adaptation copyright of this novel, Ma Rongcheng wanted to adapt the novel into a comic, and wireless was ready to make the novel into a TV series, Xu Ke worked hard to win the film adaptation rights of this novel, these three parties found Lin Youlun one after another, and their attitudes were very sincere, and Lin Youlun had to agree one by one.

Ma Rongcheng's hand has not yet been restored, and the adaptation of the comic has only reached a cooperation intention; And the wireless side will also wait for the novel to be serialized and the collection published before considering the start of the TV series; In the end, the manuscript was taken away by Xu Ke because he was in a hurry to read the entire novel before he could adapt the script.

As for the list of actors in the movie version, Lin Youlun has already had a plan in his heart. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
