Since the beginning of "Iron and Blood", Jin Yong and Dong Qianli have always felt that Lin Youlun can create a new genre in martial arts novels, but they never thought that Lin Youlun would jump out of the category of martial arts directly and write an unheard of fantasy novel.

"Since the comics have been serialized, there is no need for me to read the novel in the newspaper, just publish it directly." The implication of Jin Yong's words is that since the copyright of the comic has been given to Huang Yuyun, the publishing right of the novel should be given to "Ming Pao", which means that the fertilizer does not flow into the fields of outsiders.

Lin Youlun couldn't refuse, and then the manuscript of "Sou Shen Ji" was asked for a copy by Jin Yong and Dong Qianli.

The comic "Sou Shen Ji" was adapted by Huang Yuxun, and the first issue sold 180,000 copies, which is a very remarkable number for a weekly magazine. Huang Yuyun made a beautiful comeback with this work, and no one questioned his talent so far. Although the sales results of comics are eye-catching, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Huang Yuyun was able to succeed this time, and the "trick" component is very large, and its competitors even publicly said that they did not lose to Huang Yuyun, but to Lin Youlun.

The story of "Sou Shen Ji" takes place in the barbaric era where Emperor Yan and Emperor Huangdi lived, and most readers are attracted by the fantastic ancient mythological world full of magnificent mountains and rivers, rare birds and beasts, magic spells, love and hatred, and the legendary mythological characters all appear, which is even more addictive.

A week later, Jin Yong published a book review in Ming Pao, saying that the book reproduced the era of the flood and famine at the origin of Chinese civilization in an epic tone, and drew on the strengths of classical works, such as heroes and rangers, demon spirit animals, strange arts, family affection, friendship, love and magnificent battle scenes, which made people admire the breadth and profundity of Chinese culture. The author said that this book is a fantasy novel, but it has created a new genre under fantasy literature.

With Jin Yong's book review, Lin Youlun can be regarded as the "originator of fantasy novels". Ming Pao then issued a statement that the article would not be serialized in the newspaper and would only be published in a collection, and curious readers would focus on adapting the comics, which once again boosted the sales of the comics.

Lin Youlun was already a famous literary genius in Hong Kong at this time, and with the strong recommendation of martial arts master Jin Yong, "Sou Shen Ji" attracted the attention of all parties as soon as it came out, and colleagues in the publishing industry could only envy, envy and hate, because the fat meat had already separated Jin Yong's "Ming Pao" and Huang Yulang's Yulang International. Booksellers from Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and other places flocked to the book, and the first volume of the novel of "Sou Shen Ji" was finalized, and 1 million copies had already been booked in advance; The sales of comics are also good, Huang Yuyang took the opportunity to change the small book to 16 pages, and also tripled the price of comic books, and the supply of comic books is still in short supply. This reform has greatly changed the perception of Hong Kong comics among publishers who were previously uninterested, and comics of "Sou Shen Ji" have begun to be sold in Chinatowns in many countries. Although most of the copyright fees for these two parts have gone into Lin Youlun's pocket, the remaining part is still exciting.

The publishing industry is only greedy, but the film and television entertainment industry is fighting for the film and television adaptation rights of this novel, Golden Harvest intends to adapt the novel into a movie, and Wireless is even more determined to obtain the TV copyright of this TV series, Lin Youlun, who has just disappeared from everyone's sight for a few days, has once again been pushed to the forefront of the entertainment industry.

On the 18th floor of the ATV Tower on Broadcasting Road, there is an extraordinary office, with Turkish carpets, wood paneling on the walls, sofas, coffee tables, glass cigarette sets and a beckoning tree in the corner, all of which show the luxurious style of the office owner. A tall black-lacquered desk sat in the center of the room, and on the large desk sat a radiant round-faced old man, in his sixties, with well-maintained black hair, but his beard was gray. …,

Two years ago, he injected 100 million Hong Kong dollars to buy 50% of the shares of "Li's" TV station, renamed it "Asia Television", and reorganized the organization, serving as the chairman of the board of directors.

The two middle-aged men sitting at Qiu Degen's desk, one is ATV director Li Zhuanglie, and the other is program manager Xu Xiaoming.

When he bought ATV, Qiu Degen knew that in order to develop a TV station, it was necessary to have funds, talents, and good scripts, so he invited Xu and Li from the film and television industry to be responsible for the production business of "ATV".

Xu Xiaoming and Li Zhuanglie lived up to their high expectations, and with "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness" as their signboard, they successively launched the costume martial arts films "Huo Yuanjia", "Chen Zhen", and "Huo Dongge". This drama not only received high ratings in Hong Kong, but also was broadcast overseas, appearing frequently on TV screens in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the United Kingdom, France and other countries in various languages.

Seeing the rapid development momentum of ATV and the financial turnaround, Qiu Degen had the idea of "wrestling" with Wireless Shao Tycoon, and the rapid development of Asia Television caused panic in TVB, and the two sides launched a fierce competition.

With the TV series adapted from Jin Yong and Lin Youlun's martial arts novels, TVB has been firmly in the upper hand in this ratings war, Qiu Degen is naturally unwilling, and is actively planning to hold a beauty pageant similar to "Miss Hong Kong" next year to expand the influence of ATV, but it is far from being able to solve the near fire, and currently has to rely on TV series to compete with TVB for audiences.

Qiu Degen summoned Li Zhuanglie and Xu Xiaoming today to discuss the strategy of confrontation, but he didn't mention it at first, but talked about ATV's new station logo first.

Mr. Qiu replaced ATV's logo with the same shape of money as the logo of its Far Eastern Group. The "money" logo symbolizes wealth, and Qiu Degen is currently the only boss who has money to run ATV, so although his "money" logo is accused of being old-fashioned, it just represents his achievements in running ATV.

changed the station logo, Qiu Degen still felt that it was not enough, and this time he also wanted to change the name of ATV's channel.

In order to show his determination to compete with wireless, Qiu Degen deliberately changed the "Chinese station" and "English station" to "gold station" and "diamond station" respectively, because "gold" and "diamond" are treasures, which not only set off with ATV's station logo, but also go toe-to-toe with TV's "Jade Station" and "Pearl Station".Chinese

Li Zhuanglie and Xu Xiaoming glanced at each other, and they both felt that the names of these two channels were as old-fashioned as the station logos, but this was Qiu Degen's own meaning, and the two of them didn't have much to say.

The two didn't say anything, Qiu Degen treated them as if they had no opinion, and the matter of changing the name of the channel was decided in this way, and then Qiu Degen talked about the TV series.

"The adaptation of the martial arts TV series was seized by wireless, and this time the TV copyright of "Sou Shen Ji", ATV must take it down!" Qiu Degen's words were not discussed at all, they were directly orders.

Li Zhuanglie and Xu Xiaoming both looked embarrassed, the two made eye contact, and Li Zhuanglie was the first to speak: "Uncle Gen, this matter is really difficult to do, it's not that we don't want to fight for it, but the wireless win is too big." ”

Xu Xiaoming then also persuaded: "Shao Yifu is also determined to win this TV series, and the relationship between wireless and Lin Youlun is very close, even if our price is higher than that of wireless, it may not be successful." ”

The two generals under him said this, Qiu Degen couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and at the same time very unwilling: "Don't we have any chance of winning?" ”…,

Li Zhuanglie and Xu Xiaoming did not answer, but they decided that ATV could not compete for wireless.

"If wireless really has such a big advantage as you said, why haven't you reached an agreement with Lin Youlun until now?" Qiu Degen asked puzzled.

Li Zhuanglie and Xu Xiaoming looked at each other, this is also something they are puzzled about, it is said that Lin Youlun and Wireless should have signed a contract a long time ago, but there has been no movement for a long time, which is very incomprehensible.

"The last time I saw Huang Yuyun, I heard him mention that Lin Youlun first handed over the novel to him to adapt into comics, instead of making it into a TV series like "Iron Blood" and "Kunlun", because the current film and television special effects skills are limited, and they can't shoot the effect described in this novel." ATV once adapted Huang Yuyang's comic "Drunken Fist" into the TV series "Drunken Boxing King Wuji", Li Zhuanglie and Huang Yuyun had several contacts, Qiu Degen asked, which reminded Li Zhuanglie of this incident.

Xu Xiaoming immediately thought of a possibility: "Wireless has always been generous when buying the adaptation rights of TV dramas, but the funds left for filming and producing TV series are very limited, and the employment system is rigid. Filming "Iron Blood" and "Kunlun", most of the actors are designated by Lin Youlun, and others can't interfere, I heard that this matter has caused a lot of opinions on the high-level of wireless, could it be that Lin Youlun has his own ideas about filming "Sou Shen Ji" this time, but wireless does not agree, so the two sides have not been talking? ”

Li Zhuanglie suddenly became excited, "If that's the case, we will have a chance!" ”

"Send someone to contact Lin Youlun immediately...... No, Zhuang Lie, I think you should personally come out in this matter, so as to show our sincerity. Qiu Degen pondered for a moment, "There is another sentence you can tell Lin Youlun for me, as long as he agrees to sell us the adaptation rights, how to shoot this TV series is all up to him, ask for money, and ask people to give it to people!" ”
