Chapter 759: If there is a work, there must be a work [Three Changes]
Ye Han, who didn't change his face even after losing millions of dollars at the gambling table, changed slightly on his face after hearing the news from his subordinates.
He pushed the cards in front of him out, signaled that the round was not bid, and then turned his head and asked, "Is the news true?" ”
"This matter has spread in Hong Kong, and it has even been published in the newspapers, so there should be no fake." The subordinate replied respectfully.
"It wasn't enough for that kid to borrow Lisboa to shoot a scene back then, but this time he actually hit the Oriental Princess."
"Aaron Ho sponsored this movie, it is estimated that the person who came was not good, and the spearhead should be aimed at gambling on the high seas." The subordinates analyzed.
Ye Han shook his head with a smile, "I know that kid does have a knack for making movies, but you also overestimate the influence of a movie." ”
The subordinates wanted to continue to speak, but Ye Han raised his hand to stop them.
"Even if he deliberately gambles on the high seas, what does it matter, now those things have nothing to do with me, just watch the excitement."
"But I've also heard that his movie will have a character based on you, the boss."
Ye Han had lost interest in this matter, but when he heard his subordinates say this, he suddenly became concerned again.
"Have you heard that this character is a positive character or a negative character?"
"The movie sponsored by Louren Ho will not save any face for the boss." The subordinates didn't know the specific situation, so they came to a very subjective conclusion.
"If Ho can sponsor him, so can I. If you go back to Hong Kong to do this, it's okay to spend a little more money, but there must be a beautiful result. Ye Han commanded.
His men hesitated.
"I'm just afraid that kid won't accept this money."
Ye Han was stunned for a moment. Then he shook his head with a smile: "I almost forgot, that kid's current worth is not much worse than that of He Hongsen, and it is estimated that it is not much worse." ”
The subordinate tried to ask, "Then do I need to go back?" ”
Ye Han pursed his lips, "Did I say you don't have to go?" Although that kid has money, do you want the money sent to the door? Don't underestimate him, he can collect Ho Hongsen's money, and he can also collect my money. Of course, whether he can take both ends and satisfy both sides depends on his ability. ”

Following the last time he started filming "Ocean's Eleven" at the Lisboa Casino, Lin Youlun set his sights on the "Oriental Princess" on the high seas. As soon as the news came out, the whole of Hong Kong was talking about it.
As the director of the film, Wang Jing has also become the focus of media attention during this time, although he has always behaved calmly in public. But in private, he was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Because it has been more than a week since the news of the film's filming came out. The script that Lin Youlun said has not seen any shadow so far.
In the past two days, Wang Jing went around in front of Lin Youlun without any trouble, which made Lin Youlun very annoyed.
"Aaron, script ......"
Glancing at Lin Youlun's cold gaze, Wang Jing consciously closed his mouth.
Just then, Applejack knocks on the door and walks in with Lin Youlun's permission.
"Mr. Hayashi, Mr. Hojo Tsukasa of Japan has arrived. Do you want to invite him in now? ”
"Great, this damn Japanese is finally here!" Wang Jing was so excited that he suddenly stood up from his seat. Seeing that Lin Youlun didn't react, he sat down again.
Lin Youlun then spoke: "Please come in, Mr. Hojo." ”
Applejack turns and walks out, and a short time later a man with long hair and a pair of brown glasses walks in.
Lin Youlun stood up, walked two steps around the desk, and shook hands with Tsukasa Hojo, who took the initiative to step forward.
"Hojo-sama, it's a good luck!"
The translator behind him relayed Lin Youlun's words to Tsukasa Hojo, and the other party bowed to Lin Youlun and said a lot, nothing more than a great honor to see Lin Youlun, he had read Lin Youlun's novels, and he liked Lin Youlun's movies very much.
Lin Youlun patiently listened to the translator, and then made a gesture towards the sofa in the rest area on the side.
Wang Jing came up at this time and took the initiative to shake hands with Tsukasa Hojo.
"Who is this?" Tsukasa Hojo looked at the translator with some confusion.
"Mr. Wang Jing, a famous Hong Kong director!"
After the translation was introduced, Hojo Tsukasa's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stepped forward to shake Wang Jing's hand very excitedly, and said a lot more.
Wang Jing couldn't understand Japanese, so he had to look at the translator.
"Did he just say he had seen my movie and liked me very much?"
The translator shook his head, glanced at Lin Youlun, and stopped talking.
"I'd also like to know what Mr. Hojo said."
Lin Youlun agreed, and the translator relayed what Tsukasa Hojo had just said, but the content was ridiculous.
Hojo Tsukasa actually said that he had watched a lot of Hong Kong tertiary films supervised by Wang Jing, and he was full of praise for Wang Jing's various wonderful imaginations and creations in tertiary films, and said that he hoped to be able to observe the filming site of tertiary films when he had the opportunity.
The atmosphere in the office becomes a little eerie, Applejack is standing on the sidelines and trying to hold back a smile, but her stomach rises and falls violently; Wang Jing's eyes widened, and he didn't blink for a long time, and Lin Youlun's gaze at Hojo Tsukasa became very different from before, as if he wanted to get to know him again.
The male protagonists in Hojo Tsukasa manga are generally a little colorful, and Hojo Tsukasa is actually such a character in reality, and if there is a work, there must be a work!
Hojo looked at the translator blankly, and the translator muttered to him in a whisper, and then he scratched his head with a look of apology.
"I like Mr. Hojo's frank personality very much!"
Lin Youlun smiled and asked Tsukasa Hojo to sit down, but Wang Jing on the side continued to be depressed, he had made so many movies, why did Tsukasa Hojo only remember those third-level films?
Lin Youlun turned his head sideways and whispered to Wang Jing: "You have to see his masterpieces to make it clear, that actor is a little colorful, probably when he is usually creating, you draw inspiration from those tertiary films you make." ”
Wang Jing was even more speechless after hearing this, and Lin Youlun had already put away his joking expression and started a conversation with Hojo Tsukasa very seriously.
"Mr. Hojo, you should already know the purpose of my invitation to Hong Kong."
"Yes, I received a fax from Mr. Lin, to be honest, I was really surprised, I didn't expect my work to be favored by Mr. Lin."
"In other words, Mr. Hojo agreed with me to adapt the City Hunter manga into a movie?"
"Before I officially answer Mr. Lin's question, I have a little doubt, I wonder if I can say it?"
"Mr. Hojo, please speak."
"I've seen Mr. Lin's film adaptation outline, and with all due respect, the content of this movie basically doesn't have much to do with it except that the names are related to my comics."
Lin Youlun nodded, he did not deny what Hojo Tsukasa said.
"Since it's not an adaptation, then I suggest that Mr. Lin change this movie to be authorized by me to use the name of the comic character, if I buy the adaptation copyright directly, everyone will accuse me of selling my reputation when I see this movie."
Tsukasa Hojo said this, which immediately made Lin Youlun's impression of him much better.
"It doesn't matter, I personally love the City Hunter comic, and based on this collaboration, I will further consider adapting this comic into a movie or TV series in the future...... Compared to this cooperation, I would actually prefer to make a friend with Mr. Hojo first. ”
After hearing this, Hojo immediately got up from the sofa and bowed to Lin Youlun again.
"It's my pleasure."
"Regarding the licensing of the contract, there will be a special person to contact Mr. Hojo later, and I have asked Mr. Hojo to arrange a hotel, hoping that Mr. Hojo can leave more beautiful memories in Hong Kong this time."
Hayashi stood up and shook hands with Hojo, who thanked Hayashi before following Applejack out of the office.
"Seriously, if you just use the character settings in the comics, I don't think it's necessary to put this movie in the name of comic adaptation, anyway, the plot has nothing to do with the comics, we can set the relationship between the characters ourselves, so that we can save a lot of money to buy an adaptation license." Wang Jing listened to the conversation between Hojo Tsukasa and Lin Youlun just now, and felt very puzzled by Lin Youlun's decision.
"So that Hojo Tsukasa is smarter than you, it doesn't matter whether the content of the movie has anything to do with the comics, as long as it has that meaning, when the movie is released, the popularity of the comics will also increase; And before the movie is released, the movie can borrow the fame of the comic book for promotion, which is called mutual borrowing! ”
Wang Jing nodded nonchalantly, and then asked about another matter
"Then ...... the actors of this play?"
Wang Jing mentioned this problem Lin Youlun is also having a headache, originally remembered that the original "City Hunter" starring Cheng Long had a very reasonable cast configuration, and it could be used directly without any major changes, but now the situation has become a little complicated, because it involves the grievances between Stanley Ho and Ye Han, as well as sensitive topics such as gambling on the high seas, the choice of the actor must be reconsidered.
"There are so many people paying attention to this drama now, who do you think would be more appropriate to find to play it?"
Wang Jing hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lin Youlun very seriously and said, "I think you are the most suitable!" ”
"Me?"
"In this situation, apart from you, I really can't think of anyone else who can suppress this scene, and your acting will be less controversial, and you can also have an explanation for all aspects."
Seeing that Lin Youlun was still hesitating, Wang Jing then added: "It's good to arrange a few more heroines, anyway, with your ability, you can handle it completely, so you should be satisfied, right?" (To be continued......)
