The richest man

Chapter 123 Buying the Right to Adapt Jin Yong's Martial Arts Novels

"Hello boss!!!"

Seeing Zhang Jun coming, the crew stopped work and rested.

The director and producer brought the lead actor to meet Zhang Jun.

"Brother Jun..." Zhao Yali came to Zhang Jun's side pretty and called out softly.

Zhang Jun smiled at her, and asked with concern: "Is filming hard?"

Zhao Yazhi shook her head: "It's not hard."

"It doesn't matter if the TV series "Shanghai Bund" is filmed slowly. Don't blindly pursue speed. A classic is slowly created." Zhang Jun turned his head to look at the director and producer and said, "Shanghai Bund" in his previous life It is very classic and broke the ratings record in Hong Kong. Xu Wenqiang and Feng Tingting are in a mess.

If Phoenix TV wants to surpass tvb, it must come up with good dramas to compete with, so as to create an impression for the audience, that is, "produced by Phoenix, it must be a boutique"!
The first is "Shanghai Bund", and then there are "Heroes Huo Yuanjia", "The Change of Silkworms", "Chen Zhen" and other high-quality TV series.

Zhang Jun has already written the script, as long as they shoot according to the script carefully, basically there will be no major problems.

Jin Yong's martial arts novels have always been a popular subject for TV adaptations. Zhang Jun is going to chat with Jin Yong and buy the film and television rights of the novels.

Although Run Run Shaw has a good relationship with Jin Yong, Jin Yong also pays more attention to the production level of TV dramas.Of course, small money is also very important...

Zhang Jun was sure that with Run Run Shaw's stingy personality, he was absolutely unwilling to pay a high price for the film and television adaptation rights of Jin Yong's martial arts novels.

Seeing that Zhang Jun had spoken, the director and producer quickly nodded in response: "Boss, you are right, we will pay attention to it!"

"Ah."

Zhang Jun nodded, turned his head to look at Zhou Runfa who was standing quietly beside him,

"You are Zhou Runfa. You have a good image and the potential to become popular. Work hard in the future and practice acting more on weekdays. I guarantee that your reputation will not be lower than that of Cheng Long!"

"Thank you boss for cultivating, I will definitely work harder!!!" Zhou Runfa nodded excitedly.

"You can turn to the big screen to make movies after you make a few more TV series. Then I will write a script for you."

"thank you boss!!!"

"You're welcome, it's also my responsibility to cultivate potential artists for the company."

The more first-line artists, the better.

In order to increase the attendance rate of Legend Cinemas, Legend Film Company has to invest in the production of many films every year. However, there is always a huge talent gap. Although artist training courses have been held, these students cannot take on major responsibilities in a short period of time.

The most effective way right now is to poach people from Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers. In fact, Legendary Films has been doing this all the time. Even the Xu Brothers have switched to Legendary Films and established a satellite subsidiary.

After a while, Zhang Jun left.

Everyone envied Zhou Runfa.

With Zhang Jun's promise, Zhou Runfa will definitely become popular and flourish.

"Congratulations, Fazi, you are going to be popular, don't forget about riches and honor, and don't forget everyone!"

A group of people came to Zhou Runfa to show their hospitality.

Even the director and producer looked at Zhou Runfa differently.

Zhao Yazhi was a little sullen, Zhang Jun only came for a while, and left before his butt was hot.

……

Two days later.

Zhang Jun took part of the film and television city project to the "Ming Pao" newspaper office.

"Zhang Sheng, please take a seat! Today is a distinguished guest, something good will happen!" Jin Yong said with a smile, and invited Zhang Jun to sit on the sofa.

Zhang Jun smiled lightly: "Mr. Jin Yong, there is indeed a good thing today."

As he said that, Zhang Jun took out the film and television city plan from his bag, handed it to Jin Yong, and said, "That's right, I plan to build a large-scale film and television shooting base, including the Condor Heroes film and television city, including the The majestic Xiangyang City, the mysterious tomb of the living dead, the beautiful and elegant Guiyun Villa, the mysterious and fantasy Valley of Unrequited Love and other major scenic spots..."

Jin Yong was shocked when he heard this.

Zhang Jun smiled and said: "Of course, before building these buildings, I want to buy from Mr. Jin Yong "The Legend of Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", "Swordsman", "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" "The film and television adaptation rights of these five martial arts novels. And our film and television city will also perfectly present the architectural scenes in the novels step by step, and strive to create the most perfect martial arts drama shooting base in history!"

Even Jin Yong couldn't help but be shocked by Zhang Jun's generosity.

At the same time, when I think of adapting my martial arts novels into film and television dramas, I am quite happy to be able to film in such a magnificent and unique building.

Moreover, Jin Yong recognized the film and television production capabilities of Legendary Film Company and Phoenix TV, so he said: "If you really plan to build these martial arts filming spots as you said, then even selling you the rights to adapt novels at a low price will be a success." what."

Jin Yong knows very well that the more successful the adaptation of TV series, the more famous he will be, and then he will be able to sell more books and earn more money.

If Zhang Jun dared to invest in the construction of the Condor Heroes Film and Television City, he would definitely spend a huge amount of money to film "The Condor Heroes", and he would definitely not let this TV series mess up.

Jin Yong is still a little dissatisfied with TVB's previous adaptations of TV series, not to mention the simple scenes, the key is to search and search for costumes and props, which immediately lowered the quality of the TV series.

Zhang Jun smiled at Jin Yong: "Mr. Jin Yong, don't worry, one of the projects of our film and television base is to build the Condor Heroes film and television city, and the investment is only [-] million Hong Kong dollars!"

The current Hong Kong dollar is still very valuable, and [-] million Hong Kong dollars is a huge amount of money at the moment!
You know, the market value of Cheung Kong Industrial Company under the name of Li Jiacheng is less than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Hearing this, Jin Yong's hands trembled, he was speechless secretly, and was speechless for a while.

"Zhang Sheng, I would like to ask, with such a huge investment, can you make it back just by making TV dramas?"

Jin Yong didn't dare to imagine, feeling that this was a loss-making business.

Zhang Jun said with a smile: "Although the Condor Heroes film and television city is being built, other costumed martial arts film and television dramas can also be filmed here. Our film and television city can also be used for tourism development. Of course, it will take a long time to recover the cost." Of course, ordinary people would not invest in the construction of a film and television city, but who made me an insider, and it is my duty to make a little contribution to the Hong Kong film and television industry!"

Zhang Jun said that he is so tall, but in fact, he has too much money and burns it, and he is not happy if he doesn't spend it!Perhaps there is still a little suspicion of pretense!

Hearing this, Jin Yong was noncommittal about Zhang Jun's contribution to Hong Kong's film and television industry. He didn't believe Zhang Jun, a little fox, would be so kind, but no matter what, such a large investment was really rare, and Jin Yong still admired it.

So I immediately chatted with Zhang Jun about the cost of the adaptation rights.

Zhang Jun purchased the rights to adapt these five novels for a total of 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and the time limit is 10 years. After 10 years, the copyright can be renewed, and Zhang Jun has the priority.
