Chapter 103: Ip Man
A leaf is blind, and Mount Tai is not seen...
Shen Mengxi completely forgot that Shangying, including Zhongying, has made TV series.
It's really not good, you can find Lao Yan, make "Secrets of the Three Kingdoms" together, and then sell it to Shaanxi Taiwan...
There is no need to pester Yingyi Entertainment, of course it is good to have Andy Lau on the platform, without him, the impact is not great, after all, it is a TV series, not a movie.
So, now the situation is completely reversed.
Yu Weiguo understood.
Shen Mengxi has connections and resources, and he is not weaker than his own side at all!
Even, you can kick yourself away and do it alone!
Yu Weiguo saw that Shen Mengxi didn't care at all, so he made an excuse and chose to leave.
I guess I went back to the boss to discuss...
He left, Shen Mengxi and Ma Boyong left the hotel, ready to enjoy the night view of Hong Kong...
......
Hollywood Road, an antique street in Hong Kong, is known as a must-visit place for antique lovers.
This is where Shen Mengxi and Ma Boyong came.
In recent years, antique collection has been very popular, the so-called prosperous antiques, troubled gold!
There are also a bunch of programs at the right time, such as "The Gate of Huayu", "A Hammer Final", "Huashan Commentary", "Treasure Hunting", etc...
The type of program is similar, that is, folk amateurs take antiques on the program, and experts are responsible for explaining...
Of course, there are also ruthless, for example, Mr. Wang Gang's "World Collection", experts believe that the object held by the treasure connoisseur is a fake, and Wang Gang will smash this object with a hammer in public.
It's a pity that experts also have eyes!
Ahem...
Shen Mengxi is a little interested in antiques, his father is a frequent visitor to the Tang West Market, and often takes Shen Mengxi to visit the West Market together.
However, Shen Mengxi's purpose is obviously not to buy antiques, but Ma Boyong.
"In the past two years, folk treasure appreciation, antiques..."
“... The antique market has really developed!"
"Is there any interest in writing this type of novel?"
Ma Boyong paused for a moment, and then asked, "Antique type?"
Shen Mengxi nodded: "Yes." ”
"Tomb robbery?"
"No, the story branch can follow the example of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and set up that antique appraisal also has a genre of rivers and lakes, kneading elements such as antiques, literature and history, rivers and lakes, suspense, and detectives... The main plot must not be related to tomb robbery, and it can be set as the story of the return of the national treasure left in Japan, to put it simply, the national treasure returns home. And in this process, for example, the protagonist explores his own life experience, identifies the authenticity of national treasures, etc., and is more about the relationship between the characters... Can be derived in large quantities!"
After listening to the request, Ma Boyong did not ask 'why don't you write it yourself', but directly asked: "... You're going to adapt?"
Shen Mengxi didn't hide it: "Well, I want to make a series, pay attention to the suspense effect when you write..."
Ma Boyong was very modest: "I'll try..."
"Don't worry, you can also join the screenwriter of "Secrets of the Three Kingdoms", with you, the original author, we are also sure when we write the screenplay!"
Ma Boyong is really a very capable writer.
You can write in any genre, and it's all over sixty!
Most importantly, it is very suitable for adaptation.
......
Shen Mengxi worked hard to exploit Prince Ma here, and over there, Yu Weiguo found the person in charge of the Emperor to discuss the investment of "Secrets of the Three Kingdoms"...
They definitely want to invest, and this is a project that clearly makes money!
Otherwise, Shen Mengxi would not have been so warmly entertained!
Now Shen Mengxi is not in a hurry, but they are in a hurry...
If they really want to invest according to Shen Mengxi's request and then enjoy the share of the account, they feel that they are too disadvantaged!
Normal investors share profits according to investment, but they don't see it that way, Yu Weiguo really thinks that Andy Lau can exchange the investment amount of 20 million in five words, and the emperor feels that the role cannot be arranged by himself, and he suffers a lot...
That's ingrained thinking...
It's like the one who complained about going north to make money and still don't learn Mandarin, why don't you learn it? Because it doesn't affect making money!
And if you speak Mandarin, isn't it the same as you mainlanders?
tentatively called Shen Mengxi to ask, and the latter directly replied, "Love to invest or not, I am not short of funds!", and directly blocked everything I wanted to say in the back!
Now what?
Let's let it dry for a few more days...
Ma Boyong stayed here for a week and went back to the mainland - he had to meet with the screenwriter's studio to discuss the adaptation of "Secrets of the Three Kingdoms"...
Shen Mengxi was left alone.
Isolated and nice!
Then, the hotel staff reported to Yu Weiguo, Shen Mengxi met with Ye Weixin, Zhen Dan and Song Dai of Yindu Organization in the past few days, as if they were talking about some project...
Yu Weiguo was stunned!
Have you met someone else at one of our hotels?
Still talking about projects?
Did you take him into account?
I went to the hotel that night, and at this time, Shen Mengxi had already chatted with Ye Weixin and Song Loan...
What to talk about, of course talk about "Ip Man"!
Ye Weixin is responsible for directing, Yindu is responsible for distribution and investment, and Shen Mengxi is responsible for production and producer...
......
Two thousand years later, in the low circle of Hong Kong, there are not many projects that can collect wool.
"Slaying the Wolf" is in the hands of Sun Entertainment, and it has something to do with Qian Laundering, and the rest of the "Cold War", "Eavesdropping", and "Anti-Corruption Storm" series, Shen Mengxi doesn't like it very much, and he didn't watch it all at all...
Only the "Ip Man" series belongs to high-quality wool!
Before coming to Hong Kong, Shen Mengxi had already decided to find someone to make "Ip Man"...
To be honest, he originally wanted to find Wu Jing to play Ip Man, but after thinking about it a little, it was not suitable, so he changed it to Zhen Bullet...
At this stage, no investor will throw money at Wu Jing to play "Ip Man"!
Whether you want to admit it or not, in the Chinese film industry in 2007, in the field of action movies, Zhen Dan is second only to Cheng Long and Li Lianjie!
He starred in an action movie, and the investment talent will invest more than 30 million, and others, don't even think about it...
Investors are looking at the cast to give money!
Ye Weixin, who has cooperated with Zhen Bullet for a long time, "Slaying the Wolf", "Dragon Tiger Gate", and "Fuse", has almost formed a specific combination of Ye Weixin + Zhen Bullet.
The director of the original "Ip Man" is Ye Weixin, with him taking over, Shen Mengxi is also relieved...
Why did you find Song Dai, or Yindu Institution, as an investor?
Shen Mengxi has met Song Dai a few times, he used to be a producer of "Beautiful Feet" and "The Great Sage of Love".
In the original time and space, screenwriter Shen was able to follow the group "The Great Sage of Love", thanks to his care...
Recently, Song Dai has been very unlucky, because the two major producers of "Lust and Caution" are Shangying and Yindu, that is, Ren Zhonglun and Song Dai...
"Lust and Caution" was criticized in various ways, and the two major producers were naturally implicated, and out of the mentality of taking care of the old people, Shen Mengxi found the Yindu Agency.
After some conversation, Song Dai is also quite optimistic about "Ip Man" - at least there is no problem in recovering the cost!
Zhen bullet not to mention...
When Yu Weiguo arrived at the hotel, Shen Mengxi was talking to Ye Weixin about the script of "Ip Man"...
