This director is very reliable

Chapter 717 Copyright (23)

Jin Yong's copyright is too scattered!
Movie adaptation rights, TV series adaptation rights, game adaptation rights, and even stage plays...

Most of the game adaptation rights are in Perfect hands.

It's a pity that one dies and the other dies.

The Condor Shooting Zero plagiarized the sword spirit and died suddenly. The swordsman is called the gem of the rivers and lakes. The rivers and lakes are also cold.

Perfection is still supported by Zhu Xian!

Sohu Changyou also has the right to adapt several games, but unfortunately, except for "Tian Long Ba Bu", the others are also released one by one...

Film adaptation rights?
Shen Changlin didn't know who to turn to—he didn't dare to adapt it without consent. Jiangnan's "The Boys Here" quoted the names of characters in Jin Yong's works, and he was directly sued, claiming 500 million yuan!
This matter has a great impact, the most direct impact is the unfinished ending of "The Legend of Wulin Half Heroes"...

By the way, everyone doesn't have to worry about Jiang Nan not being able to afford it. He is also the richest writer on the list, and his friend San Shao buys a brooch worth tens of millions. He is rich.

Pulling back, China Star has a lot of film adaptation rights for Jin Yong's works...

China Star was originally called Yongsheng.

In the early 90s, the martial arts film "Swordsman", directed by Hu Jinquan and starring Xu Guanjie, Ye Tong, and Jacky Cheung, came out. While creating a new era of Hong Kong martial arts movies, it also set off a wave of adaptations of Jin Yong's martial arts.

Seeing the prospect of adapting Jin Yong's novels, Yongsheng Films bought the copyrights of "The Deer and Ding Tale", "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" and "Dragon Ba Bu" at one go, and handed over to their trusted director Wang Jing to be responsible for adapting them into movies.

The "Deer and Ding Tale" made by Wang Jingxian was very successful. The box office of the first film was 4100 million Hong Kong dollars, ranking third in the annual box office list. fifth…

After "The Deer and Ding Tale" tasted the sweetness, the filming of "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" started smoothly.

Starring Li Lianjie, Qiu Shuzhen, Zhang Min and others in "The Legend of the Demon Sect Leader"...

This movie, which was originally given high hopes by Wang Jing and Yongsheng Films, invested more than 5000 million Hong Kong dollars. The crew also went to the mainland to film and shoot. The box office was only 1100 million.

Due to the huge loss, Yongsheng had to suspend the filming of the sequel of the "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" series, and also restricted the adaptation of "Dragon Ba Bu".

In the original idea, Wang Jing planned to create a trilogy around the three main characters in the original work, and each of them was directed by a different director.

The first one was "Legend of Xuzhu" by To Qifeng and Guo Fucheng. Then, Yongsheng stepped in and rewrote the script with a limited budget. He decided to tell the story with the female characters in the original work, and the protagonist Xuzhu became a supporting role instead. .

Lao Du and Guo Fucheng both withdrew, and the director Qian Yongqiang, who was still a rookie at the time, took over the directing job of the film version of "Dragon Babu", that is, "Tianlong Babu: Tianshan Child Elder", Brigitte Lin, Gong Li, Zhang Min Sanmei On the same stage!
It's a pity that the film's extremely chaotic narrative and various gossip settings waste the rare "three beauties" on the same stage. In the end, the film earned 653 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, completely extinguishing the last hope of "Dragon Babu"...

However, the right to adapt the film has always been in the hands of Yongsheng, and later changed its name to China Star, and the copyright also fell into the hands of China Star.

Until 2022, at the beginning of the year, although the overall evaluation of Wang Jing's two online dramas "Eternal Dragon Slayer: Nine Suns" and "Eternal Dragon Slayer: Holy Fire Heroes" was not high, the hundreds of millions of on-demand views on major video platforms made He earned it again.

A director with a keen sense of business will naturally not let go of the opportunity to continue using Jin Yong's old IP, and "The Legend of Qiao Feng" was born as a matter of course.

Donnie Yen was recruited to star, "Chen Qing Ling" director Zheng Weiwen directed, and Wang Jing was the screenwriter and producer...

Bad movie reservation!

……

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has become an online university, and four works have been released, "Seven Monsters in the South of the Yangtze River", "Seven Sons of Quanzhen", "Northern Beggar Hong Qigong", and "Dongxie Huang Yaoshi". After the split, the lowest box office is 2600 million, the highest is 7800 million.

The average cost of these works is around 1500 million, and each work can earn close to 10 million.

The income is not bad, mainly iQiyi is willing to support these works...

iQiyi has always wanted to be a big online track. Originally, it hoped that the horror, thriller and pornographic genres would play around and attract traffic.

Unfortunately, the policy control is very strict.

The "Shooting the Condors" produced by the new studio, although they didn't make it out of the circle, are already at the ceiling level of the Internet...

I'm filming "Xidu Ouyang Feng", and there will be "Huashan Lunjian" later, no surprises, "Huashan Lunjian" should be able to get a good box office share...

The problem also came, after "Huashan Lunjian", if I want to shoot "Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying"... I need the copyright of the divine sculpture.

Including that Tianxia Entertainment is preparing for an infinite cross-travel stream - "A Taoist in the World of Martial Arts", the opening choice is naturally "Swordsman"...

"Swordsman" is very suitable for Novice Village. The story of "Swordsman" is "a murder caused by a sword score and a piano score". But it follows the consistent principles of Jin Yong's novels, and the speed comes from special internal strength.

Lin Zhennan, Yu Canghai, and Zuo Lengchan only learned the moves of "Sword of Dispelling Evil", and they didn't use them at all.

Dugu Nine Swords is a bit unreasonable. When Linghu Chong blinded the eyes of fifteen masters in the ruined temple, he was still in a state of exhaustion of internal energy.This speed is completely brought to him by the sword technique itself, without any other support...

In Jin Yong's other works, even the superb and mysterious martial arts can at least make sense logically, that is, it sounds amazing and exaggerated to the readers, but it really makes sense when you think about it.

Dugu Nine Swords is awesome!
It's as if once you master it, you become the protagonist of the world.

Pulling it back, the new studio responsible for the production naturally shifted its attention to the film and television adaptation rights of Jin Yong's novels...

If you want to adapt, of course you have to deal with Chinese stars.

In fact, it's not that China Star doesn't want to cooperate, but their conditions are too harsh, joint investment is fine, the key is to let her son play the leading role!

left…

It looks like the pangolin in "Journey to the East", how can I praise it.

Still playing the leading role?

It's not suitable to play Tian Boguang with that appearance...

To be honest, Shen Changlin doesn't really care much about the right to adapt Jin Yong's works...

How can there be flowers to play on the Internet?
The early web articles even made...the corpses in the ice coffin...

……

After getting off the car and arriving at the hotel, the two of them didn't meet up with the crew, they agreed to travel separately...

Shi Shi then asked: "Then what are you going to do now?"

"We are going to find a middleman to buy out the adaptation rights, and we will buy them back."

"A middleman? But I heard that the Fujixun video platform seems to be planning to buy Jin Yong's copyright..."

Shen Changlin was surprised: "All of them?"

Shi Shi scratched his head: "I don't know, but I received an invitation to make "Sculpture of God"..."

""Sculpture of God"? Why? Want you to play Huang Rong?"

"...Do I look like a child's mother?"

"Divine Condor... I thought you were a Condor Shooter. I always thought you were suitable for a weird role!"

Shen Changlin hurried to make amends.

Shi Shi gave him a blank look, and then explained: "They want me to be a producer, to help choose roles and so on..."

"Let you take the blame?"

"Back the blame? What blame?"

"Casting...Yang Guo, Xiaolongnv, who do you choose? Whoever you choose will be scolded!"

Shi Shi hesitated for a few seconds, and then asked Shen Changlin: "Then what do you say?"

Shen Changlin shook his head: "If I were you, I wouldn't join..."
