Kang Jianfei threw the script to Xu Ke and asked with a smile: "According to your opinion, a big revision has been made, and now you should be satisfied, right?" ”

"It's a good script." Xu Ke grinned, revealing two rows of uneven teeth.

In fact, the script of last year's "Swordsman of New Shu Mountain" was not written by Xu Ke, but he provided the plot framework and asked the screenwriting department of DreamWorks to create it, and Xu Ke's own screenwriting ability is not as good as Gao Zhisen.

At present, the final version of the script of "Shushan" has been written for more than four months, and it has gathered the efforts of more than ten people, including Kang Jianfei and Xu Ke.

First of all, the plot structure is much larger than the original time and space of "The Swordsman of Xinshu Mountain", of course, because the original plot and characters of the novel are too complicated, there must be many big changes in the movie script.

For example, in the original work, Sanying and Eryun, Emei's female disciple Yu Yingnan was changed to the male protagonist by Kang Jianfei, while Li Yingqiong and Yu Yingnan are sisters and brothers who love each other.

Due to the preparation for the filming of the "Shushan" trilogy, the villain of the first part is set as the "Blood God Son" Deng Yin (that is, Ding Yin in film and television works). This Deng Yin was originally the junior brother of Changmei Zhenren, but he was expelled from the school for violating the canon, and he occasionally got a magic book "Blood Nerve" and cultivated to become a demon.

The general plot is that Yu Yingnan, a weak scholar, because he entered Beijing to take the exam and stayed overnight in a broken temple, he happened to meet Deng Yin, who was expelled from the school, and inadvertently opened the mechanism under the Buddha statue, so that Deng Yin got the magic cultivation method "Blood Nerve".

Deng Yinben and Yu Yingnan hit it off at first sight, and the two chatted very happily. Deng Yin was so demonic because of his observation of "Blood Nerve" that he wanted to suck Yu Yingnan's blood to cultivate the demonic attack, but he was saved by Li Yingqiong, who went down the mountain to practice-Deng Yin was expelled from the school, and his exercises were almost useless, so he couldn't beat the fledgling Li Yingqiong.

The chivalrous girl Li Yingqiong and the scholar Yu Yingnan had a secret relationship, and then Yu Yingnan joined the Emei faction. Apprenticed to Master Yuanyuan, and became the same brother and sister as Li Yingqiong.

And when Yu Yingnan's cultivation was successful, the two went down the mountain together to do chivalrous righteousness, but found that the people in a certain town were slaughtered by the blood cultivation method. The two of them fought together and became Deng Yin, the son of the blood god, but they were defeated and could only rely on the magic weapon given by the master to escape for their lives.

Yu Yingnan's heart couldn't settle down, because it was his unintentional mistake that allowed Deng Yin to get "Blood Nerve", so he decided to end Deng Yin with his own hands.

After that, the hero and heroine naturally had adventures all the way, and in the process of various monster fights and upgrades, they met a lot of righteous friends. And Li Yingqiong raised the purple and green double swords in Mangcang Mountain. And Yu Yingnan also got the divine soldier Nan Mingli Fire Sword. The last thing is that a group of friends work together to kill the blood god Deng Yin, and Yu Yingnan and Li Yingqiong finally become a fairy couple.

In order to cater to the audience's taste, some love triangles are naturally arranged in the film, but those are secondary, and there will not be too much ink during filming.

In fact, the plot of the script is not very complicated. But the fun is far better than Xu Ke's "New Shu Mountain Swordsman", and that rhythm is completely a blockbuster model for later generations. It will make the audience cool from the beginning to the end.

As for the second part of the "Shushan" trilogy. It depends on the box office situation of the first part to decide whether to invest, but the villain of the second part has been tentatively designated as the green-robed ancestor.

Xu Ke was originally afraid that the script would be written as four dislikes, but now he is extremely satisfied, at least much better than the script he came up with before. Of course, Xu Ke still has a lot of changes to the script, especially when filming, he will make slight changes according to the situation. But the big plot trend will not change.

"You can choose the actors yourself," Kang Jianfei said, "The actors who signed the film contract last year will remain the same, but don't look for those who terminated the contract like Zheng Shaoqiu." It's up to you to decide which actors to change. ”

"I understand." Xu Ke nodded, but he was thinking about which actors were suitable.

The heroine Li Yingqiong is naturally starring Li Saifeng, which was already said last year, and Zhao Yazhi plays a senior fairy, as for the choice of the actor and the villain, it is uncertain.

Xu Ke thought for a while, and suddenly said: "The role of the villain Deng Yin, I am going to let Liu Songren play it." ”

Kang Jianfei nodded and said: "Liu Songren is very good, among the actors in Hong Kong, he is still very chivalrous, it depends on whether he can bring Deng Yin to life after entering the demon." ”

"As for the actor Yu Yingnan," Xu Ke tapped his fingers and said, "What do you think of Zhang Guorong?" ”

Kang Jianfei is still very satisfied with Zhang Guorong's scholarly image, but it is difficult to say that he should play a swordsman, and said: "Call him to try out." ”

The candidate for the actor has already been intentional, and the remaining supporting roles are much easier, Hui Yinghong and Hui Tianci brothers and sisters can all play important supporting roles, and the students of a training class can also be brought in to make a bright appearance.

The two discussed for more than half an hour, Xu Ke finally left with the script satisfied, and Yu Huanping followed and walked into the office again.

After Yu Jiping signed Wang Guxian, he has been filming for the past few months, and he specially created an urban love film "Love in Taipei" for Wang Guxian. The male protagonist of the film is Taiwanese music superstar Liu Wenzheng, and the box office focuses on Taiwan and Southeast Asia, and this kind of film does not sell much in Hong Kong.

""Love in Taipei" has been released, how is it selling?" Kang Jianfei asked casually. He doesn't have much hope for this Taiwanese love film, as long as it doesn't lose, it's enough, the main thing is to let Wang Guxian accumulate a little more filming experience.

Yu Huping sighed: "The box office is more than 11 million Taiwan dollars, and the cost is basically recovered, and it should be able to make some gains in Nanyang." ”

Kang Jianfei did not blame Yu Jianping, but said: "Taiwan's local films can't sell well, and it's good to be able to break 10 million at the box office." ”

In addition to serving as the general manager of DreamWorks Taiwan, Yu also takes care of other affairs - such as contacting Taiwanese film companies, sending filial piety silver to the Taiwan Information Bureau, and so on.

After talking about Wang Guxian's matter, Yu Huping suddenly said: "Jin Chaoqun may not come to Hong Kong to film, he just wrote a letter of repentance in the Information Bureau." The day before yesterday, Jin Chaoqun invited me to dinner in Taipei, and asked me to say sorry on his behalf, and he will pay off the liquidated damages for the sequel to "Bao Qingtian", but he really can't shoot anymore. ”

When "Bao Qingtian" was first filmed, it was banned by the Taiwan authorities and could not be sold in the Taiwan market at all. A few months ago, it was sold to Guangdong/Dong TV, and it quickly set off a wave of Bao Qingtian craze, and then it was broadcast on more than 20 TV stations in the mainland one after another, becoming the most popular TV series in the mainland this year.

Hong Kong's "Wen Wei Po" published the success of "Bao Qingtian" on the mainland, and praised the TV series for its high level, but it was targeted by people from the Hong Kong branch of Taiwan's Central News Agency. This TV series was obviously filmed by the DreamWorks TV Production Department, but Phoenix TV was also shot while lying down, and was besieged by many rightist newspapers in Hong Kong.

As for Jin Chaoqun, the actor of "Bao Qingtian", under the threat of the Taiwan authorities, he honestly went back to write a letter of repentance, I am afraid that he will not be able to film in Hong Kong again in a few years.

"The bureau doesn't have a film that embarrasses DreamWorks, does it?" Kang Jianfei asked, this is what he cares about the most.

Yu Huping shook his head and smiled: "That's not true, the Information Bureau and the third prince have a regular amount of money to pay tribute every year, and the Bamboo Union Gang has dividends, and the black and white are in place." As long as there is no big problem, the Information Bureau will definitely turn a blind eye. ”

Taiwan's government has not been so good, and today's leader, President Chiang, advocates honesty and frugality, and also leads by example. But the officials below are acting against the yang, and even the sons of President Jiang Jr. are making more money than the other, and it is really not in vain that DreamWorks stuffs so much money into the Information Bureau every year.

Just like this time, "Bao Qingtian" was obviously filmed by the DreamWorks TV Production Department, but after being investigated, it became produced by Phoenix Channel, mainly because the Information Bureau wanted to keep DreamWorks' financial resources.

Kang Jianfei suddenly thought that if Xu Ke's "Shushan" was released and caused a sensation, it is estimated that the Taiwan authorities would really block DreamWorks.

In fact, Kang Jianfei is not afraid of losing Taiwan's box office, but is afraid of the chain reaction brought about by the ban by the Taiwan authorities. The main reason why he chose to cooperate with the mainland is because Kang Jianfei is a time-traveler and knows the general trend of the future.

In fact, not only Kang Jianfei, but anyone with a normal brain should know how to choose.

In the parallel space, after the dust of the Sino-British negotiations settled, a number of right-wing newspapers in Hong Kong announced that they would cease publication, which can be regarded as those bosses leaving a way out for their own future. And Shao Yifu stopped the Shaw Brothers production business a few months after the Sino-British negotiations ended, and while turning his energy to the development of TVB, he also completely fell to the Celestial Empire government, donating tens of millions of dollars to the mainland every year to help students.

Jiang Zhiqiang's elder brother Jiang Zhiwen, in the second year after the end of the Sino-British negotiations, invested in the construction of Nanguo Cinema with the mainland, laying a political foundation for the rise of Anle Cinema Line in the future.

Anyway, after it was determined that Hong Kong would return to the motherland in 97, smart people in Hong Kong knew how to hug their thighs.

The funniest thing is that after the ban was lifted in Taiwan, Taiwanese investors could not directly go north to the mainland to invest in films, so they invested their funds in Hong Kong companies, and then Hong Kong directors went to the mainland to shoot films, and then took them back to Taiwan to be released.

Since about 1988, the film cooperation model of Taiwanese businessmen, Hong Kong, and mainland filming has begun to run more and more smoothly.

Yu Jianping came over this time to report to Kang Jianfei on the situation of the Taiwan branch. The branch invested in a total of two movies this year, one barely recouped its cost, and the other lost more than 1 million Taiwan dollars.

Such a situation proves that Taiwan's local films are really hopeless, no wonder the Taiwan branch of Xinyicheng will stop production, and they will not hesitate to tear their faces with Zhang Aijia for the sake of Mecca, mainly because Taiwanese films can't make money.

"Jingle Bell ......"

After Yu Huping left, Zhao Yazhi's call was directly transferred by the secretary: "When is it?" You're still in the company and won't leave! ”

"I'll be right away, you wait for me first." Kang Jianfei hung up the phone and went out, and Zeng Bolin hurriedly followed.

After a month-long publicity, tonight is the semi-finals of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant, and Kang Jianfei, as the organizer, naturally wants to participate. (To be continued......)
