The story of Chen Ping'an and Weng Meiling can move many women. Many of these details are not known to the media at all, so what is reported is either only a small part of what many people see, or it is just chasing after the wind.

After listening to the complete story, Zhou Huimin was moved, at least not as before, insisting that Chen Ping'an choose between himself and Weng Meiling. But it is impossible to get her to accept the reality immediately.

She needs time to accept.

This is already the best result, Chen Ping'an will not ask for more, and then the two fought fiercely on the bed again, according to Zhou Huimin's request for a rough second cloud and rain like just now, and finally in the script of the discussant's "Go Left, Go Right", they hugged each other and fell asleep.

In this year's Christmas file, the film Chen Ping'an decided to shoot is "Go Left, Go Right", a pure love movie.

This type of film does not belong to the mainstream in the current Hong Kong film industry. So he needed comics to help ensure that the film would be a success as expected after its release.

After the finals of Sister Ya, Liao Fubin, whom he asked people to look for in Taiwan, has been found.

This is a middle-aged man who is introverted, easily shy, and not good at verbal expression. When I found him, he was still working in an advertising agency, occasionally illustrating newspapers, magazines and other publications, both as a hobby and for extra money.

When he was looking for him, he thought he had met a liar. It wasn't until Zhang Yijia came forward that he believed that the famous Chen Ping'an needed him.

It has been nearly a month since he came to Hong Kong, and during this time he has been with Du Qifeng to discuss "Go Left. The script of "Go Right".

When he learned that Chen Ping'an was looking for him, he hoped that he could make a comic adaptation based on the script. And he offered a lot of money, and he couldn't hide his excitement because he was not good at words.

He has been working for the magazine for many years. It's already a little boring. It's just because of his personality, and he can't find a new challenge that he likes. Only now, he felt that the opportunity to change the trajectory of his life had come.

His excitement is not entirely because of the remuneration provided by Dark Horse International, he is very interested in painting his dreams with a brush and becoming a picture book writer.

Unlike later generations, this "Go Left, Go Right" is not a film adaptation of the comics. Rather, it is an adaptation of a comic through a script. It seems like a simple reversal of priorities, but in fact it is quite complicated.

In Liao Fubin's view, although Chen Ping'an's script is a storyboard script, interspersed with many paintings, it does not satisfy him. When he read through the script more than a dozen times, and after he had a thorough understanding of the script in his heart, he felt that this script was far from enough.

Yes, for a movie, the script is enough to make a complete movie. But for a comic, even as the backbone, it seems thin. The characters, plot, dialogue, description, scenes, and other aspects are far from meeting the requirements of a comic.

So. He had to add to the plot. It is not simply to add branches and leaves, but to add more branches on the basis of enriching the main trunk. And then there's the foliage.

In this way, it is equivalent to tearing down the entire script and starting over. At least a significant revision.

If it was him after becoming famous, he might not care. But now. This opinion is introverted and not good at words.

This situation continued until Chen Ping'an came back and met with him, and finally broke it.

The person who broke it was not him, but Chen Ping'an.

Of course, Chen Ping'an knew the essential difference between the script and the comics, so after meeting Liao Fubin, he put forward his own views straightforwardly.

"You don't have to be constrained by the script, let your imagination go, just make sure that the hero and heroine and the main line remain the same. Remember, I asked people to come to you, not to ask you to change my script into a comic, but to let you create your own comic based on the script. ”

This sentence immediately moved Liao Fubin's heart. Chen Ping'an said very clearly, this is a cartoon belonging to Liao Fubin, not Chen Ping'an's script.

Introverts are not good at words, but that doesn't mean it's hard to talk to everyone at all times and in all situations. When he meets people who can talk to each other and have common topics, he will also become very talkative.

For example, Liao Fubin now.

During this time, although he didn't say it, he had already begun to enrich the plot in his mind. He likes the pure feeling in the script, and the main plot is also in line with his philosophy. And Chen Ping'an happened to have read the comic of "Go Left to Right", and he still had the TV series adapted from the later one in his mind, so the first meeting between the two could be described as a very happy conversation.

"Just follow your train of thought, let's do it."

It's not difficult to start writing, Liao Fubin already has a draft, and it is difficult to promote the movie through guò comics.

Circulation is a must, and it is obviously not necessary to rush to publish the whole book in binding, so it can only be serialized through guò newspapers and magazines. After a certain amount of serialization, a group of die-hard readers was accumulated, and then it was printed into a book.

In this way, it can not only ensure the maximum profit of Liao Fubin, but also promote the movie that is ready to be released this Christmas.

Therefore, in the next time, Chen Ping'an will be very busy.

Du Qifeng, the assistant director of "Go Left, Go Right", has already pulled up the framework of the crew, the filming locations have been determined, and the funds have been put in place, just waiting for Chen Ping'an to finally announce the start-up.

But before that, Chen Ping'an also needed to go to the 82 Painting Society to find someone - Shangguan Xiaobao.

Shangguan Xiaobao was hailed as a legendary figure in the Hong Kong comic industry. Since the 60s, it has been known as the comic industry together with Huang Yulang. Shangguan Xiaobao's "Bruce Lee" and Huang Yulang's "Little Rascal" accompanied the Hong Kong people of that era through one year after another.

In the 80s, Huang Yulang co-opted Shangguan Xiaobao, and the Yulang Group dominated the comic industry. However, after a long time, Shangguan Xiaobao's contract expired two years ago, and he left Yulang Group to establish "82 Painting Society".

In the past two years, the comic market can be described as a three-country rivalry. Huang Yulang, Shangguan Xiaobao, and Shangguan Xiaowei each occupy one side. However, in recent times, there have been major changes in the comic market, and talented people have left working alone, so that the comic industry has entered an era of a hundred flowers.

Although Shangguan Xiaobao is the boss of the 82 Painting Society, in front of Chen Ping'an, the gap is not a little bit.

Chen Ping'an could have made an appointment to meet him, but in order to show respect, Chen Ping'an took Liao Fubin to visit the 82 Painting Society, well, there is also an appointment.

After receiving his call, Shangguan Xiaobao was a little confused, and couldn't figure out what connection he would have with Dark Horse International. In fact, there is no connection between him and Chen Ping'an.

"Looking at your office has given me more confidence in you."

Chen Ping'an's first sentence made Shangguan Xiaobao hear a different meaning.

Chen Ping'an came to pay a visit, and Shangguan Xiaobao of course had to receive him in person in his office. The principle that people respect me and I respect people is universal in many cases, and he even took the initiative to take on the work of pouring tea for Chen Ping'an.

Although he is the boss, he is also a cartoonist and the main creative staff of the company, so his office is more like a studio, messy but full of creative atmosphere, at least Liao Fubin has a feeling of sympathy after reading it.

"Confidence? Mr. Chen, I don't quite understand what you said. ”

"You know that I am a filmmaker, and my dark horse international company covers many aspects of business such as film and television songs. After I returned to Hong Kong, I told Manager Fang of Shaw Brothers that in the future of the entertainment industry, film and television linkage is the general trend. So I founded Dark Horse International and acquired ATV.

But I also want to say that in the future, film and television will also form a benign interaction with comics, and even a new concept of 'animation' will appear. Of course, before that, adapting comics to the screen is also the trend of the times. ”

It's big business!

Shangguan Xiaobao is interested, and also understands the so-called "more confidence", if the cooperation can be successful, he will not only receive the copyright adaptation fee, but also the fame of "82 Painting Society"!

As explained earlier, the current comic market is moving towards a situation where a hundred flowers are blooming in their own battles. This situation is naturally excellent for readers, but for insiders, the fierce competition exacerbates the increased risk.

For example, Huang Yulang is a little unable to support it, and Shangguan Xiaobao is better here, but if he can cooperate with a behemoth like Dark Horse International, it will undoubtedly be a huge help for Shangguan Xiaobao and his "82 Painting Society".

It's a pity that Chen Ping'an is not a philanthropist, this is just Shangguan Xiaobao's wishful thinking. His purpose is to buy!

7 million, acquired 70% of the equity of "82 Painting Society". Under normal circumstances, it does not interfere with the operation of the art club, and the art club is still managed by Shangguan Xiaobao, and the remaining 30% of the equity is also distributed by Shangguan Xiaobao.

If the acquisition is successful, Dark Horse International will select excellent works from the comics produced by "82 Painting Society" to adapt film and television dramas and cartoons. Dark Horse International has film companies, TV stations, and cinemas, which are enough to ensure that the best comics appear in front of the audience in different forms, creating the greatest value of ZÀO.

Rather be the head of the chicken than the cow, many people have this view, and Shangguan Xiaobao is too.

But the strength of Dark Horse International is too strong, and Chen Ping'an's conditions are too generous, so that Shangguan Xiaobao can't refuse.

Seeing his hesitation, Chen Ping'an struck while the iron was hot and explained the equity distribution of many companies under the dark horse national flag, such as record companies, distribution companies, investment companies, and brokerage companies.

Shangguan Xiaobao learned that he was treated the same as everyone else, and the only concern in his heart was dispelled.

With such good conditions, Chen Ping'an is a good fist, why do you want to refuse?

"Then you have to make sure that you don't interfere with my management."

This is Shangguan Xiaobao's only request, even if the largest shareholder of "82 Painting Society" is replaced by Chen Ping'an, he still holds the management of the painting society.

Naturally, this requirement does not pose any problem. Chen Ping'an has always adhered to the concept of handing over professional things to professional people, and all he has to do is to ensure that he is strong, and strong enough to lead these people to be loyal.

The first negotiations between the two sides went smoothly, and it can also be said that the last negotiations. The rest of the matter is that Zhang Ziyang brought a lawyer to talk to Shangguan Xiaobao in detail.

After this matter was finalized, Chen Ping'an said the second intention: "His name is Liao Fubin, he is from Taiwan, and I hope he can join the art club." (To be continued......)
