Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2151 Adaptation of Novel
The idea of ​​"Yin Yang and Five Elements" was introduced into Neon from China in the sixth century, and gradually developed into "Yin Yang Tao".

In order to promote the reform of national governance, the neon rulers at that time not only accepted the idea of ​​"Yin Yang and Five Elements", but also called it "new knowledge" and used it.

After the establishment of the Yamato Imperial Court, the Five Classics doctor from Baekje brought the "Book of Changes", and the "Book of Changes" was passed to Japan as the basic document of Onmyoji.

And this gave birth to a profession called Onmyoji. In the Neon Heian era, there was a very famous onmyoji named Abe Seimei.

Neon's well-known writer Dream Pillow Tapir followed the description in "Journey to the West" to the mainland for a journey to the west, from Xi'an to TLF, and since then the "Onmyoji" series has been serialized.

Lin Daoqiu plans to adapt Dream Pillow Tapir's novel "Onmyoji" this time and make it into a special effects movie.

So Fang Jinsheng contacted Wenyi Chunqiu Society, which published "Onmyoji", and asked him to help contact the Dream Pillow Tapir.

Soon Fang Jinsheng got in touch with Wenyi Chunqiu Club. When the other party heard that Lin Daoqiu wanted to talk to Dream Pillow Tapir about the adaptation of "Onmyoji", he immediately helped to contact Dream Pillow Tapir himself.

In a coffee shop in Tokyo, Lin Daoqiu met the dream pillow tapir here.

"I didn't expect the famous Mr. Lin to read my "Onmyoji". I'm really flattered."

When Dream Pillow Tapir received contact from Wenyi Chunqiu Society and told him that Lin Daoqiu wanted to meet him, Dream Pillow Tapir couldn't believe it was true for a while.

After all, Lin Daoqiu's name can be said to be well-known in Neon. Just one "Godzilla" and "1992" made countless people in Neon become his fans.

So when Lin Daoqiu proposed to adapt his "Onmyoji", Dream Pillow Tapir was very happy, because he felt that if his work was handed over to Lin Daoqiu to adapt it, he would definitely be able to produce a very good work.

"Actually, I also occasionally saw this novel written by you in a bookstore. I found it very interesting. After reading it, I plan to re-adapt and create it, so I plan to ask you out to talk."

If it is based on the novel written by Dream Pillow Tapir, it will be difficult to shoot the effect that Lin Daoqiu wants to achieve, so he just wants to use the shell of "Onmyoji" to rewrite a script and make it into a movie.

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Dream Pillow Tapir seemed a little surprised, but he also understood that it must be very difficult to directly convert a novel into a movie.

Moreover, the novels he wrote were not written in the direction of being made into movies, so Lin Daoqiu proposed to use the shell of his "Onmyoji" to make a movie, which is somewhat understandable.

"It is a great honor to be recognized by Mr. Lin. If "Onmyoji" is adapted by you, then I naturally have no objections."

The Dream Pillow Tapir thought about it and decided to agree to Lin Daoqiu's request. If someone else came to tell him this, the Dream Pillow Tapir would definitely not agree to the other party.

Seeing the regretful expression of the Dream Pillow Tapir, Lin Daoqiu thought about it and decided to comfort him.

"Actually, after I finish filming this version of "Onmyoji", I believe that there will be people in the Neon film and television industry who will be interested in this subject matter, and they should put your novel on stage by then."

Lin Daoqiu said it very implicitly, but the meaning in his words is actually very clear, that is, after the "Onmyoji" he filmed becomes popular, someone will come to Dream Pillow Tapir to buy the film and television drama copyright of his novel.

Even Lin Daoqiu believes that even if he doesn't have to finish the filming, he just wants to start filming Dream Pillow Tapir's novel "Onmyoji". Just this will make people very interested in his novels.

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said about the Dream Pillow Tapir, he could only smile, because he knew what Lin Daoqiu's words meant.

"If that's the case, then I really want Mr. Torrin's blessing."

Because he did not plan to adapt the original novel, Lin Daoqiu did not discuss the script with Dream Pillow Tapir.

After meeting once, the two agreed on a time to sign the contract, and then the Dream Pillow Tapir left.

Three days later, Lin Daoqiu got the film copyright of Dream Pillow Tapir's novel "Onmyoji".

At this moment, Maekawa Kiyoshi and Okada Shigeru called Lin Daoqiu one after another, telling him that Shochiku Films and Toei both agreed to join Lin Daoqiu's Asian theater strategy.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions. After Lin Daoqiu received a call from Maekawa Kiyonori and Okada Shigeru, the strategic neon stronghold of the Asian theater chain has been completed.

At that time, a branch of New Oriental Cinemas in Neon will be established, and then the shares will be divided into thirds, then the Neon's cinemas will be considered complete.

After making an appointment with Kiyoshi Maekawa and Shigeru Okada at the same time, Lin Daoqiu planned to chat with them about "Onmyoji".

After Maekawa Kiyoshi and Okada Shigeru arrived at the scene one after another, neither of them showed any surprise expressions when they saw each other.

Because they had already learned that Lin Daoqiu had met each other before, so it was within their expectation that they would meet here today.

"I am very grateful to Shochiku Films and Toei for their trust in me. The new theater chain will soon be established in Neon, and as the first film of the new theater chain, I am ready to make something."

Hearing Lin Daoqiu's words, Maekawa Kiyonori and Okada Shigeru's attention was immediately attracted.

"I have talked to the author of "Onmyoji" before, and I have already bought the copyright of "Onmyoji". This time I plan to put "Onmyoji" on the screen. Of course it is It is a blockbuster special effects film, and both Shochiku Films and Toei will participate in the filming of this film."

After agreeing to cooperate with Lin Daoqiu, the other party immediately threw out a very sweet fruit.

It doesn't make any difference to them what movie Lin Daoqiu wants to make, but if he adds a special effects blockbuster in front of it, it means that the box office will definitely exceed [-] billion yen.

Thinking of this, both Maekawa Kiyonori and Okada Shigeru eagerly wanted to join in the creation of this play.

"Don't worry, both of you, New Oriental will provide all the production fees for this film. You only need to provide assistance. When the time comes, the box office will be divided into 433 according to what we said."

Lin Daoqiu will take [-]% of it, and the remaining [-]% will be shared equally between Shochiku Films and Toei. This has been negotiated before, so they will not have any opinions on this.

Moreover, the film production fee this time is still provided by New Oriental, and they only need to provide assistance, such as distribution and sales. There will be no problems for the two companies at all, and they will definitely make a lot of money.
