Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 671

When Li Tiansheng came to Fang Yihua's office, she was dealing with matters inside.

"Miss Fang."

Holding "Oriental Daily" in his hand, Li Tiansheng called Miss Fang respectfully after entering the office.

Fang Yihua, who nodded, raised his head.

"It's Asheng, what's the matter?"

After Li Tiansheng sat down, he first put the "Oriental Daily" in his hand on the table.

Fang Yihua realized at a glance that Li Tiansheng's intention to come had something to do with this newspaper, so she picked up the newspaper immediately.

Usually Fang Yihua also reads newspapers, but she doesn't pay attention to the supplements of martial arts novels, and rarely even glances at them.

So this time Lin Daoqiu published "Legend of Sword and Fairy", she didn't know it.

Once TVB has something to do with newspapers, most of the things are related to artists.

At first, Fang Yihua thought that it was another artist who caused trouble, or did something to report it to the newspaper.

"Miss Fang, it's like this. Mr. Lin wrote a novel and it was serialized in "Oriental Daily."

Fang Yihua who had just picked up the newspaper, after listening to what Li Tiansheng said, a surprised expression appeared on her face.

Lin Daoqiu wrote novels, which is really a rare thing. She didn't know before that Lin Daoqiu could write novels.

Open the supplement of the newspaper, this newspaper is the second day of serialization of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

"what are you thinking?"

Fang Yihua briefly read the serialized plot, and then put down "Oriental Daily".

Li Tiansheng brought the newspaper over, definitely not just to tell himself the news, and Fang Yihua didn't believe that he was so boring.

""Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a martial arts novel, and this is the first novel written by Mr. Lin. If it is adapted into a TV series, it will definitely have a good ratings."

Naturally, Li Tiansheng would not be idle, so he came here to tell Fang Yihua about this. He actually wanted to adapt this novel and make it into a TV series.

It has to be said that Lin Daoqiu's fame is not only useful in the movie circle, but also has a certain influence in the TV circle.

"Student Police Attack" will be broadcast in the next year. As the director of this drama, Li Tiansheng is naturally very confident in this drama.

If the adaptation of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" can be won, Li Tiansheng feels that it will be of great help to stabilize TVB's ratings this year.

"Your idea is very good, but I don't know if you have noticed, another author of this novel."

Fang Yihua had the same idea as Li Tiansheng at first, but when she noticed another author of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", her heart sank suddenly.

"Miss Fang is talking about Huang Ying?"

When most people read "Legend of Sword and Fairy", they will ignore the other author, Huang Ying, and regard Lin Daoqiu as the main author.

But in fact, the real main writer is Huang Ying, and Lin Daoqiu just provided an outline.

However, neither Huang Ying himself nor the "Oriental Daily" will bring up these words on their own initiative.

But Fang Yihua said this not because she knew the inside story, but because she recognized this guy named Huang Ying.

"Although I don't know why Mr. Lin and Huang Ying co-authored this novel, but Huang Ying is the screenwriter of ATV. If this drama is to be adapted, ATV has a much greater advantage than us."

Fang Yihua said it very euphemistically, but in fact she already understood what she meant.

If this drama is going to be adapted, I believe that ATV will definitely not give up this opportunity to them.

Originally, Li Tiansheng wanted to get Fang Yihua's consent, and then went to Lin Daoqiu to fight for it.

But hearing what the other party said, his heart suddenly cooled down.

…………

Just as Fang Yat-hua said, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has not been serialized for a long time, and ATV has also noticed this novel.

In Huang Xizhao's office, Xu Xiaoming and several other producers were discussing this matter.

"General Manager, I think this is a good opportunity for us. I heard from my friends at Oriental Daily that this novel alone has helped them increase sales by [-] copies."

The sales volume of newspapers is not a secret, because the biggest sponsors of newspapers are advertisers, and when they buy advertisements, they must make judgments based on the sales volume of newspapers.

In fact, even leaving aside the sales of newspapers, just Lin Daoqiu's first martial arts novel has aroused a lot of interest.

"Has the Yellow Eagle come?"

Recently, because Huang Ying was helping Lin Daoqiu write a novel, he hadn't come to the TV station for a long time.

Usually, if there is anything, I always call.

Huang Xizhao called him and asked him to come to the TV station just to find out about the novel.

Not long after he finished speaking, Huang Ying walked in from the door.

"General Manager, are you looking for me?"

When Huang Xizhao saw Huang Ying, he immediately stood up, and several other producers also smiled at him.

Although on ATV's side, the TV station's battle is much smaller than that of TVB, but usually the producers will not seem particularly enthusiastic even if they see Huang Ying.

However, since the news that he and Lin Daoqiu co-authored "Legend of Sword and Fairy" got out, those people who had a normal attitude towards him before suddenly became enthusiastic.

Huang Ying knew that it was all because of Lin Daoqiu's relationship, so he didn't take it too seriously. He has always been concentrating on writing novels at home, and even turned down a lot of entertainment because of this.

"Screenwriter Huang, it's actually like this. I invited you here today because I want to know more about "Legend of Sword and Fairy"."

Huang Xizhao didn't hide it either, after all, Huang Ying had stayed in ATV for several years, and everyone was old acquaintances.

In fact, before coming here, Huang Ying could more or less guess the reason why Huang Xizhao invited him here.

"General Manager, if I'm not mistaken, you plan to adapt "Legend of Sword and Fairy" into a TV series, right?"

After Huang Ying sat down, he directly asked Huang Xizhao what he wanted to say.

Huang Xizhao nodded with a smile.

"If this is the case, then you should talk to Mr. Lin, because I can't make the decision about the film and television adaptation."

Lin Daoqiu had already told him before that the film and television adaptation rights of this novel belonged to him, and the other proceeds belonged to Huang Ying.

But even if Lin Daoqiu didn't take the initiative to say it, Huang Ying couldn't be the master, he still has self-knowledge.

"Could it be that Mr. Lin is already preparing to adapt this novel into a film and television work?"

When Xu Xiaoming heard Huang Ying's words, he immediately guessed what Lin Daoqiu was thinking.

"I don't know the specifics. I'm only responsible for writing the novel according to the outline given by Mr. Lin. As for other matters, I don't feel comfortable asking."

Huang Ying was very honest, and told Huang Xizhao everything he knew.
