Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 672

"You two are really rare visitors."

Looking at Huang Xizhao and Xu Xiaoming in front of him, Lin Daoqiu could more or less guess why they came to find him.

Not to mention that Xu Xiaoming still holds a copy of "Oriental Daily" in his hand. Doesn't this mean that he is here to find himself for the right to adapt it?

"Mr. Lin hasn't been to ATV for a long time. We wanted to report to you, but we couldn't find a chance."

Although Lin Daoqiu is the second largest shareholder of ATV, he basically rarely shows up at ATV.

Usually, even if it was a board meeting, Lin Daoqiu only sent other people to attend, and he didn't show up at all.

So Huang Xizhao asked him to report on the company's situation, and this reason sounded reasonable.

But Lin Daoqiu believed that if it wasn't for "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Huang Xizhao would never take the initiative to come to the door today.

Unless it reaches the ratings of ATV and is overwhelmed by TVB, then it is possible.

"There are so many excellent colleagues in the company, and I am very relieved to have you here."

Lin Daoqiu didn't try to expose the other party's lies, since they didn't tell them, he could spend time with them.

"Mr. Lin, I heard that TVB will release a TV series called "Student Police Attack" after the next year. We are under a lot of pressure recently."

The selection of the heroine was so big before, and the finals were all broadcast on wireless. It would be strange if Xu Xiaoming and the others didn't know.

Although Xu Xiaoming didn't say it clearly, it was clear from his appearance that he was not very happy with Lin Daoqiu's favoritism.

After all, he is also the second largest shareholder of ATV. If there is such a good thing, it should be handed over to ATV. How could he think of going to Wireless.

Naturally, Lin Daoqiu didn't need to explain to Xu Xiaoming, but he also knew that what he did was really helping Wireless, and it was indeed a bit unkind.

"There is pressure to be motivated. I have great confidence in President Huang and Director Xu."

Lin Daoqiu's words made Huang Xizhao and Xu Xiaoming very angry.

If he hadn't filmed "School Police Attack", the pressure on their shoulders would not have been so heavy.

But no matter Lin Daoqiu's status as the second largest shareholder of ATV, or his status in the film and television industry.

No matter how much dissatisfaction the two of them had in their hearts, they did not dare to explode in front of Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Lin, in fact, we came here today to talk to you about the novel "Legend of Sword and Fairy"."

Huang Xizhao felt that if he went on like this, he didn't know when he would get to the main topic, so he straight to the point and explained his reason for coming.

"You want to adapt this novel into a TV series?"

Lin Daoqiu frowned, which was completely consistent with his previous guess.

"I read the previous serials and found that this novel is very suitable to be adapted into a TV series. Before we came, Boss Qiu had already said that if Mr. Lin nods, ATV will fully support it."

When Xu Xiaoming finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu just smiled and didn't speak.

Even if Qiu Degen didn't say anything, if he really wanted to make a film, wouldn't ATV still work?

"You can't shoot "Legend of Sword and Fairy"."

Lin Daoqiu said something that surprised both Xu Xiaoming and Huang Xizhao.

They misunderstood the meaning of Lin Daoqiu's words, and thought that the other party had handed over the right to adapt "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to Wireless.

"Mr. Lin, ATV needs people and money. It is absolutely no worse than TVB. Besides, you are the second largest shareholder of ATV. Why are you so exclusive to TVB?"

Xu Xiaoming was a bit impatient, he misunderstood Lin Daoqiu's meaning, so he expressed his thoughts all at once.

"Director Xu thought I gave TVB the right to adapt?"

Lin Daoqiu knew immediately that Xu Xiaoming had misunderstood.

Xu Xiaoming didn't speak, but from his appearance, he knew that he acquiesced to Lin Daoqiu's statement.

""Legend of Sword and Fairy" is not a traditional martial arts novel. I define this book as a fairy tale novel."

"Xianxia novel?"

When Huang Xizhao and Xu Xiaoming heard it, they both showed puzzled expressions almost at the same time.

They had been reading novels for a long time, but it was the first time they had heard of the fairy tales that Lin Daoqiu spoke of.

In desperation, Lin Daoqiu had no choice but to briefly introduce to them the difference between fairy tale novels and martial arts novels.

"Immortals, humans, demons? Magic treasures? Three realms and six realms?"

As an excellent director, his ability to appreciate scripts is naturally not that weak.

After Lin Daoqiu briefly introduced the main points of Xianxia novels to them, Xu Xiaoming seemed to become more interested.

The world view of this novel is very grand, much larger than the general framework of martial arts novels.

No wonder Lin Daoqiu said that neither ATV nor TVB could film it.

I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to adapt this novel into a film and television drama.

"If "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is to be filmed, a lot of special effects will definitely be used, which means that it will cost a lot of money. Judging from the special effects technology of today's TV dramas, it is far from meeting my requirements."

Lin Daoqiu's implication is that it is temporarily impossible for "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to be adapted into a TV series.

Originally, before Huang Xizhao and Xu Xiaoming came to see Lin Daoqiu, they both felt that it should not be difficult to win the right to adapt "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

But after chatting with Lin Daoqiu, they realized that if they want to adapt this play, they may have to wait for a long time.

Lin Daoqiu had just sent Huang Xizhao and Xu Xiaoming, who looked regretful, to the door when he saw Wang Jing waiting outside.

"Then I won't send it off, you two go slowly."

Wang Jing had been hanging around wirelessly before, so he didn't have much contact with ATV people.

He nodded to Huang Xizhao and Xu Xiaoming as a greeting, and then Wang Jing walked into Lin Daoqiu's office.

"sit down."

Lin Daoqiu looked at Wang Jing suspiciously, because of Huang Xizhao's relationship with them just now, Lin Daoqiu took it for granted that Wang Jing also came to him to ask for the right to adapt.

"Mr. Lin, I heard that you recently wrote a novel."

Compared with Huang Xi taking pictures of them, Wang Jing seemed a little more casual.

After all, during the recent period, the scripts he wrote have easily passed Lin Daoqiu's review, so Wang Jing is in a great mood.

"What's the matter? Are you also planning to come to me to ask for the right to adapt?"

Lin Daoqiu looked up at Wang Jing, and asked with a smile.

"Hey... I don't want the right to adapt the TV series, what I want is the right to adapt the movie."

He had already seen Huang Xizhao and Xu Xiaoming at the door just now, plus what Lin Daoqiu said.

So Wang Jing immediately guessed that Huang Xizhao and the others came to Lin Daoqiu to talk about "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

"Don't think about it, you can't make this movie..."

Just when Wang Jing was still thinking about how to persuade Lin Daoqiu to hand over the movie to him, Lin Daoqiu rejected Wang Jing's request straightforwardly, making the other party's eyes widen in shock.
