Jin Yong is a well-known figure with 14 world-famous books. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Where there are Chinese people, there are Jin Yong's martial arts novels.
Zhou Zihang met with him today and said that he was not nervous, which must be a lie.
"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Jin Yong is already waiting for you, please come with me."
Zhou Zihang had just arrived and was led in by a person who resembled a housekeeper.
While walking, while observing Mr. Jin Yong's residence, Xiangjiang Villa has its different flavor.
is not as luxurious as the mainland, but the various decorations are very eye-catching, and Zhou Zihang can feel it very strongly all the way.
Entering a room like the living room, Zhou Zihang immediately saw this legendary figure, Master Jin Yong.
There were two other people next to him, both in their forties, and one of them was a foreigner, who was supposed to help Mr. Jin Yong deal with some things.
"Mr. Jin Yong, I have admired my name for a long time."
When Jin Yong heard someone call him, he lowered his head slightly, did not look through his reading glasses, and did not speak with a smile on his face.
At this time, a man next to him stood up and said, "Hello, I am Cha Chuan, the grandson of Mr. Jin Yong, and I am currently responsible for copyright issues." β
"Hello, I'm Zhou Zihang."
Cha Chuan nodded, pointed to the other and said, "This is Mike, a lawyer who often helps us deal with legal matters related to copyright. β
"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you."
As soon as Mike heard Zhou Zihang's English, he immediately shook hands with him with a smile and said, "Mr. Zhou, your spoken language is very good, but I can understand Chinese and speak Chinese." β
"Mr. Zhou, please sit down, let's talk slowly."
After the three of them sat down, before Zhou Zihang could speak, Cha Chuan was puzzled: "Mr. Zhou, I have been dealing with the issue of grandpa's copyright in recent years, why did I ask someone to find grandpa directly this time?" β
Check the legend is the truth, Zhang Yi is his mother Zhou Zihang, and he found Master Jin Yong directly through someone.
"That's right, this time our adaptation is very different, so we have to ask the old gentleman to review it himself."
As he spoke, Zhou Zihang took out the adapted script from his briefcase and handed it to the three of them.
At this time, Mike waved his hand and said, "I don't need to look at this, if you have the possibility of cooperation, I only need to be responsible for the contract part." β
Just as Mike was speaking, Cha Chuan said loudly: "Mr. Zhou, what kind of script is this?" It's complete nonsense. β
This sentence was very loud, Zhou Zihang and Mike were startled at the same time, and even Jin Yong, who had not spoken, couldn't help but look at his grandson a few more times.
"It's... This is the most nonsensical script I've ever seen, crossing? God, what the hell is this? β
Cha Chuan looked very angry at this time, and Zhou Zihang hurriedly said, "Mr. Cha, calm down first and listen to me." β
"Grandpa, it's hard for me to say anything about this as your guest, but this kind of script is simply an insult to your writings."
Jin Yong looked at Zhou Zihang, then turned his head to look at the angry Cha Chuan, took off his glasses and said, "Let Mr. Zhou finish speaking." β
Zhou Zihang saw that Jin Yong still had ideas to listen, and said with a smile: "That's the case, Mr. Jin Yong, I admit that this script is very bold, and even Mr. Cha Chuan's words are good, and he is insulting your work." β
"Then you're still coming to talk? Isn't that a waste of time? You're not going to make fun of my grandfather, are you? β
Cha Chuan is still a little rooted, and said angrily.
"Mr. Cha, you must also know that as long as Mr. Jin Yong's novel is adapted now, it will definitely be widely noticed, but it has been filmed many times, and everyone is a little bored."
Zhou Zihang's words are so much that there is nothing to say, because the actual situation is true now, Cha Chuan turned his back and did not speak.
Zhou Zihang didn't care, smiled and continued: "In view of this situation, I mean to open up a new model, a model that is in line with the mentality and behavior patterns of young people now, so there is such a script, and we have today's meeting." β
While Zhou Zihang was talking, Jin Yong kept looking at the script, and Zhou Zihang didn't know if he heard it.
Old man, no matter who it is, after getting older, his mind is always confused.
"According to your script, you want to shoot the Condor Trilogy, so that means that you don't shoot other basics?"
Just after Zhou Zihang finished speaking, Jin Yong suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhou Zihang and said.
Zhou Zihang nodded and said: "That's true, the audience base of these three together is very large, and the content of this script can only be filmed once, and it won't work if there are more." Because that's a picture that's fresh, no match for your book, which still stands for decades. β
Zhou Zihang explained, and gave him a high hat, this is completely a habit, there is no way not to say some faΓ§ade words now, some things really can't be done.
Jin Yong listened and put down the script, took off his glasses again, and said: "Mr. Zhou, I have no opinion on copyright, as for the cost, it is still my practice, 1 yuan is enough." β
"Grandpa, this... How can you agree with this??? β
Jin Yong waved his hand and said, "Okay, you don't need to say anything about it, the matter is so decided, you go and talk about the contract!" I went to rest. β
With that, Jin Yong got up and went upstairs with the support of the housekeeper.
After Zhou Zihang watched Jin Yong leave, he sat down calmly, but he was not at peace in his heart, this matter seemed to be much simpler than he imagined.
Then, after Zhou Zihang and the three of them finished talking about the details of the contract, they left Master Jin Yong's residence and rushed back to Changsha immediately.
And in this master Jin Yong's room, Cha Chuan didn't want to understand the decision made by his grandfather.
"Grandpa, why did you make such a decision?"
"Child, my life is almost over, and I don't know how long I have to live."
"Grandpa, how can you say that..."
"Okay, decades ago, Liang Yusheng brought martial arts novels into another situation, I carried it forward, and Gu Long has been continuing it later, and Huang Yi sought to break through and write something different, but martial arts gradually declined."
Jin Yong said, showing a look of nostalgia, he remembered the spirit and elegance of his youth.
Relying on this novel written by himself, he brought out Ming Pao Shengsheng and made it a group company.
And Jin Yong knows very well in his heart that he himself is better than novelty in addition to writing and storytelling.
Back then, a Condor Hero was born and caused a sensation all over the world.
The combination of internal strength, five uniques, the world, and chivalry depicts a wonderful martial arts world, which makes people fascinated.
also relied on this work, Jin Yong was awarded the glorious title of "Martial Arts League Master".
Then among the condors, there is a sentence "The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people." The tone of martial arts novels was set, and Jin Yong's fame reached its peak.
And now, decades later, Zhou Zihang has brought an innovative script.
Although such a story, in online novels, has been written badly by the majority of authors.
However, Jin Yong is also very clear in his heart, knowing that so far, no one has filmed similar film and television works.
So he agreed, and in his later years, he wanted to see his writings exert a **** energy again.
This is the greatest comfort to Master Jin Yong.
......
Zhou Zihang, who returned to Changsha, looked at the copyright authorization letter in his hand, and his heart was really like a dream.
What I thought was the most difficult thing to get done, it was solved.
Then the next thing is a series of things such as licenses, which is relatively simple.
Zhou Zihang also talked to Zhao Baogang on the phone for the first time and told him the good news.
"Brother, I admire you, and then it's really up to us."
Zhou Zihang understood Zhao Baogang's mood, because he was more excited than Zhao Baogang.
"Brother, can the funds be in place immediately? I'm starting to build the team, get the license, and start the public prep phase right away, we'll be very busy. β
Zhao Baogang said on the phone at this time: "The funds are not a problem at all, and I can transfer them to you immediately, but what I said admires you, brother, is not just because of copyright issues!" β
"Oh?? So what else do you say? β
"Brother, your technology to eliminate piracy, in the words of your young people, is really rebellious."
Zhou Zihang was stunned, how did Zhao Baogang know about this matter? Very strange.
