Chapter 56: Sensation in Hong Kong (Ask for Recommendation)
Chapter 56 Sensation in Hong Kong (Ask for Recommendation)
"Mr. Chu, I don't know if the two versions of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" can be released before the end of the year?"
After a deep groan, Chu Ling showed a determined look on his face, and said solemnly: "Whether it is the TV series version or the movie version, I am aiming for the New Year's Day schedule, and I want to add another fire to the public in that national carnival festival." ”
"Mr. Chu, I wonder if you have any prospects for the two versions of "Smiling Proud Jianghu"?"
"Absolutely."
Chu Ling said in a deep voice with a warlike face: "No matter which version it is, I will create a new history, a new chapter in both film and television." ”
"Boom"
Everyone, except for the reporters, the guests present also looked at Chu Ling with a confident face in shock, and they were all stunned by his arrogant words.
How can history be made so easily?
Whether it was the reporter or the guests present, they all changed color, and there was a strong suspicion in their eyes when they looked at Chu Ling.
"Mr. Chu, what confidence do you have to say something that will make history? If what you say in the future doesn't live up to its name, how can you be held accountable for what you say today? In the crowd, a middle-aged reporter asked solemnly.
Hearing this, Chu Ling said with a smile: "This time, not only the movie version, but also the TV version, I will use some special effects lenses, for this reason, I have contacted Director Xu Ke, and Director Xu has promised to contact the Hollywood special effects company for me." ”
"Special effects in TV dramas?!"
Everyone looked at Chu Ling in shock, using special effects in the TV series, which can be said to be unprecedented.
After all, in Xiangjiang in this era, there are very few special effects in movies, let alone TV series that can't be compared with movies at all.
Speaking of which.
Looking at the shocked crowd, Chu Ling chuckled and continued: "Not only that, I will use the best equipment to shoot, in terms of costumes and props, I will participate in the design of new costumes, and in terms of martial arts, I have invited Yuan Jiaban to join." ”
Speechless!
All the people were shocked to speechless, let's talk about the best equipment, this is a lot of money alone, not to mention the costumes and props, and Yuan Heping's Yuan family class can be said to be the most famous martial arts design team in Xiangjiang.
"The initial capital is 30 million."
Looking at everyone who was shocked, Chu Ling said sharply: "Of course, I am ready to add funds, and it is expected that after the filming is completed, the funds will not be less than 50 million." ”
"Boom"
This time, all the people were shocked and whispered, and countless reporters kept shooting Chu Ling, and for a while, the entire hall was filled with flashing lights.
What is the concept of 30 million? What is the concept of 50 million?
Everyone present was stunned, not to mention a small investment in TV series, even movies, in Xiangjiang, an investment of 30 million is definitely one of the best, let alone 50 million.
"It's shocking, the best is yet to come." Chu Ling smiled secretly in his heart.
However, the hot news can't be said all at once, but it must be released little by little to get enough exposure, and what is said now is enough for the media to stir up for a while.
Immediately, Chu Ling faced Nicole on the side. Robin winked.
See here.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of today's press conference, the food and drinks are ready, please enjoy yourself." Nicole. Robin got up and said with a smile.
Hearing this, most of the reporters dispersed with interest, after all, there was enough exciting news today.
Some dissatisfied reporters still want to ask, but they are prepared by Nicole. Robin suddenly exuded his huge aura, and for a moment of being stunned, he left his seat with Chu Ling and walked towards Liu Tianwang and the others who had gathered together.
Seeing this, the remaining reporters gave up with a sigh and walked towards the table on the side, and if they didn't go over, they could only eat leftovers.
"Ah Ling, you dare to say this kind of thing, if you don't do it in the future, I think you will do it?" Liu Tianwang greeted him and said with a worried face.
"So, in order to fulfill what I said, you all have to come and help me." Chu Ling said with a smile.
"We?" Liu Tianwang looked at the surprised few people, and couldn't help but joke with a smile: "It's okay to let me act, but with my handsome appearance, even if I don't play Ling Hu Chong, the wind will be clear." ”
Hearing this, Chu Ling smiled evilly and said: "Don't think about Linghu Chong following the trend, I have prepared a few roles for you, you can choose one yourself." ”
"What are the characters?" Liu Tianwang looked at Chu Ling, who was smiling evilly, with a vigilant expression, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.
"Tian Boguang"
Speaking of this, Chu Ling looked at Liu Tianwang, who exuded murderous intent in his eyes, and continued to tease the other party: "If you are not satisfied with this, Yue Buqun can do it, this is the head of the faction." ”
Looking at Liu Tianwang, whose face was even more ugly, Chu Ling held back a smile, pretending to be dissatisfied and frowning: "You are not satisfied with this? ”
"Okay, I'll suffer a loss." Looking at Liu Tianwang, whose face was slightly relaxed, Chu Ling said painfully: "You will play the role of Dongfang Undefeated." ”
Hearing this, Liu Tianwang pinched Chu Ling's neck with a murderous face, and roared angrily while shaking: "Dead boy, first a silver thief, then a hypocrite, and finally you actually let me play a eunuch?" ”
Speaking of which.
Liu Tianwang said coldly with a murderous face: "Say, how do you want to die?" ”
"Okay, good" Chu Ling surrendered: "We don't play the silver thief, we don't play the hypocrite, and we don't play the undefeated Dongfang, I let you play a young man with justice in his heart, and how about using a sword master?" ”
"That's pretty much it."
Satisfied, he let go of Chu Ling, Liu Tianwang patted Chu Ling's shoulder appreciatively, and asked with a smile, "Say it?" Who should I play? ”
"Yes"
Clearing his throat, Chu Ling said solemnly: "With justice in your heart and a master with a sword, the role of Lin Pingzhi will be handed over to you." ”
After speaking, Chu Ling looked like the world was handed over to you to save it, gently patted Liu Tianwang's shoulder, and then turned around and walked quickly outside.
"Stinky boy, you dare to fool me."
Listening to Liu Tianwang's roar behind him, Chu Ling couldn't help but speed up his pace.
In this way, a group of people left the hall laughing, went to the night primrose, and played happily for a day, and then dispersed.
And on this day, Chu Ling exhausted all kinds of means and finally determined most of the roles, and Liu Tianwang played the role of the eunuch Lin Pingzhi very sadly, and Xing Ye, who was not much better than the other party, played the role of a generation of silver thief Tian Boguang
Time passes like water, and a week goes by in the blink of an eye.
After half a month of preparation, the preliminary preparations for "Smiling Proud Jianghu" were finally completed.
First of all, the crew members, Chu Ling is still looking for those who have worked together twice, but because this time is not as simple as the previous two times, after the introduction of each person, the crew has reached a total of 30 people, from photographers and gaffers to scene notes, which can be said to have reached the largest crew in Xiangjiang in this era.
In addition, Chu Ling even found Yuan Heping and Chen Xiaodong to be action directors and martial arts instructors, and a total of fifty pairs of dragon and tiger martial artists under the command of the two also joined in.
And the cameras, films and other props are all bought from Hollywood by Chu Lingtuo, which is definitely the most advanced equipment in this era.
In terms of clothing, the design drawings were designed by Chu Ling and Weng Meiling together, most of them are original costumes, of course, Chu Ling has also modified a small part to make it more gorgeous and more in line with the times.
After half a month of rushing work, all the costumes were made and distributed according to the characters.
In terms of makeup, Zhao Muzhi found more than a dozen top makeup artists, and under Chu Ling's opinion, he basically set the costumes for each character actor.
In addition, after Tsui Hark's introduction, the special effects company has also signed a contract with the Hollywood special effects team Industrial Light & Magic, and its production team has rushed to Xiangjiang.
In addition, what made Chu Ling even more pleased was that in Nicole. Robin's operation.
The copyright of "Wulin Gaiden" was sold to Taiwan, Yueben, and South Korea, and a total of 45 million was obtained, while "Nightclub" was only sold to one place in Taiwan, and the copyright fee was only sold to 3.5 million Hong Kong dollars.
With these copyright fees, Chu Ling has a total of nearly 60 million in his hands, but he spent nearly 20 million on actors' fees, costumes and props, and special effects companies alone.
It can be said that after half a month of preparation, everything is ready, just waiting for the start of shooting.
And in the middle of this half month!
Chu Ling's exposure rate has completely suppressed all the big and small stars, and he has been occupying the front page headlines of major newspapers in Xiangjiang for half a month.
First of all, half a month ago, "Xingguang Daily" added an evening newspaper, and opened up sales channels with the two novels "Jiuding Ji" and "Ethereal Journey", and the sales volume of "Xingguang Bao" completely surpassed "Ming Pao" and became the No. 1 newspaper in Xiangjiang.
And Chu Ling, who serialized four best-selling novels at the same time, was also directly praised by the media and readers, and his fame is even more similar to Jin Yong, who has not written books for many years, and the now popular Gu Long, Ni Kuang and several others.
After this.
"Starlight Daily" set up a publishing house and published four novels at the same time, and sales were still hot in the absence of Chu Ling.
Although the sales volume of "Starlight Evening News" dropped by 30% because it was just serialized, after all, there were few books to buy, but after that, it rebounded a lot, and it did not have much impact on "Starlight Evening News".
As soon as the "Young Star Sky Weekly", which was established a week ago, was directly sold out of stock under Chu Ling's popularity and the publicity of major newspapers, and the sales volume caught up with the Jade Dynasty.
And three manga such as "Dragon Ball" are even more sought after by teenagers, completely overpowering comics such as Dragon Tiger Gate.
Chu Ling also inevitably became a best-selling cartoonist with three serialized comics.
Coupled with all kinds of news about "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Chu Lingtian is the headline on the front page every day, and his fame keeps skyrocketing in a geometric way.
In the past half a month, Xiangjiang has completely been the world of Chu Ling!
