Cai Chusheng has also lived in Shanghai for a long time, so he can naturally understand what Yu Sheng said, such a movie is a masterpiece. Cai Chusheng asked, "Brother Yu already has the idea of the story?" ”

"Yes, but there are so many stories that can be written. For a while, it couldn't be settled. However, with this idea, the film had to be made. It's just that Hong Kong is different from Shanghai after all, Yu is new to life, and he is not familiar with the place, and he can't even recruit basic crew. I also have to ask Brother Cai for help. ”

Cai Chusheng smiled: "Brother Yu is too polite. Of course, this favor must be helped. I also want to see what Brother Yu's "Shanghai Tang" will look like. In fact, there is a good opportunity in front of him, so that Brother Yu doesn't have to worry about the crew's affairs! ”

"Oh? Hear more! ”

"Two years ago, when I was filming "Lonely Island Paradise" for Dadi Pictures, Dadi Pictures was doing quite well. However, after the suspension of the release of "Lonely Island Paradise", the capital chain of Dadi Pictures suddenly became tense. One wrong step, one wrong step, not only missed many investment opportunities, but also almost couldn't even maintain the basic operation! In recent days, people have been even more worried. If it weren't for the imminent release of "Lonely Island Paradise", everyone was counting on this movie to return to its original cost and pay the long-overdue wages, I'm afraid that people would have run out long ago. ”

However, although the business of Dadi Pictures is not doing well, there are many talents in various photography, sets, and scene notes. As long as someone takes over, injects funds, and will be alive in no time! If Brother Yu is willing to take over, I can help Brother Yu contact him. After all, with Brother Yu's reputation, it is still easy to retain these talents. ”

Hearing Cai Chusheng say this, Yu Sheng was also a little moved. Naturally, the amount of effort it takes to acquire a company with an established structure is not the same as the effort it takes to build a company from scratch.

Therefore, Yu Sheng smiled at Cai Chusheng and said, "Then it will trouble Brother Cai!" ”

After sending Cai Chusheng away, Yu Sheng asked a few teenagers to inquire about the specific situation of Dadi Film Company. And, I also want to inquire about the more famous screenwriters in Hong Kong. The TV series "Shanghai Tang", whether it is the version of Zhao Yazhi and Chow Yun-fat, or the version of Huang Xiaoming and Sun Li, I remember it very clearly for the rest of my life. However, no matter which edition it is, it is too long. Zhao Yazhi and Chow Yun-fat's version has 20 episodes, while Huang Xiaoming and Sun Li's version has as many as 40 episodes!

If it is in a peaceful and prosperous era, it is not difficult to shoot episode by episode. However, the rest of his life was very clear that he would not stay in Hong Kong for long. In December 1941, the Japanese would attack Pearl Harbor in the United States. Completely tear the skin with the Europeans and Americans. At the same time, it was stationed in Hong Kong and Shanghai Tang Concession.

Therefore, he must finish filming this "Shanghai Tang" before this time. And took Qing Xiaoyi and them to leave Hong Kong in time. Counting the time, he only has five months! This requires the rest of his life to compress the plot of the original drama as much as possible on the basis of retaining the taste of the original drama. Cut the complicated and simplify, remove the chaff! Adapt dozens of episodes of a TV series into a movie with a length of one or two hours!

This thing, although I can do it for the rest of my life. But he knew that his level was not enough. If it is said that when filming Jingzhong to serve the country, the level of the rest of his life is the level of director and screenwriter of online short films. So after this period of study and refinement, the level of the rest of his life is at most the level of the director and screenwriter of a third-rate soap opera.

What's more, as an avid fan of the original drama for the rest of his life, it is difficult to be objective and calm when adapting it. As a result of being too fanatical, you can only act according to your own preferences, and finally make a good movie into a four-way street.

Therefore, for the rest of his life, he needs to find one or two talented screenwriters to help him condense and refine the original drama without losing the flavor!

It's just that for Yu Dacai, who has gone through two lives and has a broad vision, it is not easy to find a screenwriter who can be recognized as an excellent screenwriter by him. Cai Chusheng and several colleagues in the film industry helped Yu Sheng find a few good screenwriters from several other film companies. However, after a conversation, it was either changed to all the tendencies of the original drama to resist Japan and save the country. Either that, or make all the characters face-painted. The way to deal with love and hatred is either A or B, just like a true or false question. Let the rest of your life drain your appetite.

Until this day, Qing Xiaoyi came back from attending a lecture at the University of Hong Kong, and after knowing the difficulties of the rest of her life, she was excited to recommend a unique talented girl to the rest of her life!

When Qing Xiaoyi was in Shanghai, she won the appreciation of Mrs. Liu Zhanen and Liu Wang Liming, who advocated women's rights. At this time, Hujiang University can be ranked first in the country. With Liu Wang Liming as a backer, Qing Xiaoyi is naturally like a fish in water in various universities. This time, Qing Xiaoyi fled to Hong Kong, although she did not inform Liu Wang Liming in advance, but after arriving in Hong Kong, she still sent a telegram to report that she was safe. Liu Wang Liming knew that after Qing Xiaoyi arrived in Hong Kong, he sent a telegram to his old acquaintance at the University of Hong Kong. Let him take care of Qing Xiaoyi.

And Qing Xiaoyi's junior's gift, after visiting the door, only made one request. I hope to be an observer in the Department of Chinese at the University of Hong Kong. Sensitive and studious, gifted and intelligent, and outstanding in temperament and appearance, any teacher likes it. Therefore, Liu Wang Liming's old acquaintance at the University of Hong Kong, after passing the school examination for the knowledge of young arts, readily agreed.

Qing Xiaoyi returned to the rhythm of life in Shanghai. After finishing the housework every day, the children's schedule is arranged, and when they have free time, they will go to the University of Hong Kong to audit a class or two. With Qing Xiaoyi's appearance and quaint temperament, it naturally attracted the attention of many people in Hong Kong.

Attention is attention, and the decisive factors that can really make one person and another person have a deep friendship are still vision and thoughts. As the saying goes, things gather by like, and people are grouped. At this time, although there are many talented people in the Chinese Department of the University of Hong Kong, there are very few women who can really copy a copy of "Zizhi Tongjian" in two months and are talented and demonic. There was only one woman, who attracted Qing Xiaoyi's attention.

This person's name is Zhang Ailing! In the literary history of later generations, he is a person who can be compared with a generation of grandmasters such as Lu Xun, Guo Moruo, Ba Jin, and Lao She. It is also a person who is regarded as the ancestor by later generations of literary youth, especially female literary youth. It's just that Zhang Ailing at this time is just a little girl with big glasses and a women's middle hair.

In 1939, the entrance examination for the Far East of the University of London, including China, Japan, Hong Kong, the Philippines and other places, was held in the Shanghai Concession. Zhang Ailing passed the entrance exam with the first place in the Far East.
