Buying the copyright is a very simple matter, Shen Zhenghui himself does not have to go back to China, just make a phone call and instruct the people of the company in China to run errands. Mr. Zheng Wenguang is very high-tech, and some people are interested in this novel, and readily agreed to the copyright and adaptation rights, and even signed a contract without money.

Mr. Zheng Wenguang is a strict person, and when he heard that the animated film "Puhai Fortress" made by the company that bought the copyright was being released, he took the initiative to buy a ticket to see the cartoon. After watching the film, Mr. Zheng also wrote a film review and handed it to Xinghui Company, to the effect that although this story is very good-looking and the love story is also very touching, as the core of the story, the confrontation between humans and aliens is too sloppy, and the whole story is too soft, and then solemnly handed over to the staff of Xinghui Company who came to sign the contract.

Shen Zhenghui received the film review forwarded by Xinghui Company, and felt a little crying and laughing, and at the same time had to sigh at the rigorous character and noble character of the older generation. However, whether it is "Puhai Fortress" or "Tokyo Fortress", in essence, they are all romance films, and the setting of alien forces is an external need, not an internal need, so there is still a small romance under the skin of science fiction, and the portrayal of alien forces is naturally too light and simple. This is the same as Spielberg's "War of the Worlds" in the future, which makes people complain from the setting. The aliens were killed in the end, so what is the use of human resistance? Throughout the story, the alien invasion is just a backdrop for personal heroism. Love and family affection and life and death are tied together to have weight.

However, the scene of science fiction films (including disaster movies) is the most important factor, if the effect produced cannot make people feel shocked and curious, then the plot is meaningless no matter what, so Shen Zhenghui excluded science fiction films from his film plan from the beginning. After impulsively getting the copyright of the novel "Flying to Sagittarius", Shen Zhenghui was a little stunned to find that this story was a little difficult to adapt.

No matter what, if everything is left to me, I will be the boss. Shen Zhenghui directly handed over the work to Li Hong and Ah Heng, and asked them to take over this important work, which can be regarded as a job to lay their own level, once this job is completed, it is equivalent to leaving some kind of mark in history, and then the cooperation with "Science Fiction World" can also be launched, he informed these two of his ideas across the Pacific Ocean, and instructed them to work.

"We don't have that many comics in that space." Li Hong was a little embarrassed, and persuaded him tactfully, "There are too many comics submitted now." ”

After "Jinhong Comics" became bigger and stronger, it naturally attracted the attention of cartoonists across the country, and when no other comic magazines were rising for a while, the charm of Jinhong Comic Magazine, which had strong strength and was backed by animation companies, was irresistible.

"You have to improve the quality of the manuscript," Shen Zhenghui said, "and you can issue supplements or increase the layout when necessary." ”

"This, the cost," Li Hong was a little embarrassed, "Do I want to discuss it with Chairman Liu." ”

Shen Zhenghui squinted, didn't his words work? "Okay, you can talk to her, I've already mentioned it to her about cooperating with "Science Fiction World", and now she's busy looking for animated themes, and the themes provided by Jinhong Comics are too inappropriate."

Does "Science Fiction World" have a suitable theme? Li Hong suppressed this sentence in her heart and didn't say it, but she said that she would consider this issue immediately and inform Shen Zhenghui as much as possible to form a feasible method.

When Shen Zhenghui was still worried about the theme of the next animated work, Mitsumi Fukuda gave him new troubles:

"I've bought the copyright to The King of Fighters you want, so get ready to act!"

"You bought the King of Fighters nineties?" Shen Zhenghui asked in surprise.

"Bought in a package, and the plots that have come out so far, they have all sold them to us." After a pause, Mitsumi Fukuda said, "You try to use it as much as you can, don't waste it." ”

Now it was Shen Zhenghui's turn to have a headache.

"It's a bit of a headache to make such a complicated movie as soon as you come up, so let's get a simple practice and test the water first!" Shen Zhenghui patted his head, "Besides, how did my assistant director go?" ”

"You know, it's very difficult for Hong Kong directors to sign long-term contracts, but I still found a nice young man with our partner in Hong Kong," said Mitsumi Fukuda. ”

"He's not going to be a dramatist, is he?" Shen Zhenghui asked with some concern.

"That's pretty much it, because of this, he knows a lot about the whole filming process and is also involved in the post-production." Mitsumi Fukuda said, "He is from the mainland, his situation is a little bad, and he doesn't want to go back to the mainland, and he can't get along in Hong Kong, so he is ready to try his luck with us." ”

Ha, Shen Zhenghui just wanted to ask the other party why he didn't want to go back to the mainland, and thought of what Mitsumi Fukuda had talked to him about before, so he endured it, "You let him come and meet me, I'll talk to him." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Then Mitsumi Fukuda paused, "I hope there are enough female characters in your new movie." ”

Shen Zhenghui rolled his eyes.

This young man named Lu Yang is two years older than Shen Zhenghui and graduated from the choreography and directing department of the Pingjing Film Academy -- this is what he calls himself. He came to Hong Kong in 96, starting from the lowest level of scene recording, and mixed in the crews of ATV, Uniasia, and Yongsheng, claiming to be proficient in computer technology, and participated in the production of "Fengyun" and "Chinese Heroes". Shen Zhenghui felt that this was not very credible, the post-production of these two films was undertaken by Xiantao Company, and it was impossible for such a company to recruit temporary workers to do things. However, Lu Yang defended that as a representative of the crew, he participated in the post-production process, which is not easy to refute. So Shen Zhenghui chatted with the other party about the production and shooting of movie special effects, and found that the other party can be regarded as knowledgeable, at least experienced, and then talk about the work of directors and screenwriters, and the answer is also reliable. So Shen Zhenghui made a decision, he could sign a contract with this guy, and at the same time took out the two plans and asked Lu Yang to give his opinion.

Lu Yang is very interested in the theme of black boxing, Guo Tianwang involved a piece of black boxing in the film "You Are My Hero", and then look at Shen Zhenghui's setting, this scene is a big scene, but I heard that it was a group of girls who wanted to star, Lu Yang subconsciously gave up this plan, because the requirements for acting skills and skills are too high, it is almost the same to change the king of successful husbands Li to play, Shen Zhenghui himself is just practicing fitness for a period of time, and it is a little difficult to play the king of black boxing, A group of girls were even subconsciously put into the ranks of vases by Lu Yang, if this film is filmed, it will be an impossible task.

On the contrary, the idea of campus fighting is not bad, especially when it mentions that exaggerated fighting can be easily made with special effects, and the actor only needs to go through a period of training, and it is enough to be able to pose at that time, so Lu Yang reported the results of his deliberation to Shen Zhenghui.

Shen Zhenghui was not surprised by such a result. It's really not easy to shoot a kung fu movie, he doesn't have a national martial arts champion in his hands, campus fighting is more ingenious, and at the same time, the special effects system is also considered to be accumulating experience for the King of Fighters, if the King of Fighters wants to shoot, the special effects system is inevitable.

"Can Xiantao's level make the effect we want?" Shen Zhenghui flipped the comic picture of "Heaven and the World" to Lu Yang, "There is no need to be so exaggerated, but the fighting scenes should be as close to reality as possible." ”

"You want to use an authentic style?" Lu Yang was puzzled, "Isn't it a special effect that should be exaggerated?" It's like Wang Jing's "Super School Bully" a few years ago. ”

"No, it's still the kind that gets punched to the flesh."

"The kind in "Storm and Clouds"?"

"I mean the fight should be real, but the power should be exaggerated." Shen Zhenghui thought about it seriously and said, he found that what he wanted was the effect in "Kung Fu".

"This, if you really want this effect, in addition to preparing enough martial artist stand-ins, the actors must also arrange training in advance." Lu Yang immediately responded familiarly, "The necessary training must be there, otherwise it will be easy to get injured during filming." He glanced at Shen Zhenghui cautiously again, "Is there a martial arts instructor in Japan who can make such a movie?" ”

"Apparently not, otherwise why would I be looking for you?" Shen Zhenghui said bluntly, "If you want to invite martial arts instructors and martial artists from Hong Kong, you make a plan." ”

Lu Yang rubbed his hands, "Okay, no problem," after a moment's hesitation, he asked, "What is the budget for this plan?" ”

Shen Zhenghui thought about it, this film still has to try to control the cost of zhì, and when it comes to the King of Fighters, he can fight hard, "The cost of the film is within 500 million yen, and the martial arts guidance is best controlled within 100 million yen." ”

Lu Yang took a breath of cool air, this is eight or nine million Hong Kong dollars, which is enough for the cost of an average Hong Kong film.

"I have a long-term development plan in this area," Shen continued, "and it would be better to recruit someone who knows how to come to our company." ”

Lu Yang was a little stunned.

"You go and try it, and see if there are any of the young characters in the Yuan family class who are willing to stand up for themselves."

Shen Zhenghui pointed out the person who wanted to dig up the Yuan family's class, and Lu Yang was a little stumbling for a while, "This, I'll go to the hall and make contact." ”

"Well, yes, you can open up this with the eighth master, I am not completely developing in Japan, I still have a company in the mainland, and the focus of future development is the whole of East Asia, training action actors and shooting action movies is a very important part of us, so we hope to be able to recruit talents as our own reserves, of course, in the big investment, we still need to cooperate with Yuan Jiaban."

In the face of Shen Zhenghui's ambition, Lu Yang felt as if there was a fire burning in his heart, and his future seemed to be full of brightness.
