Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 711 Immortal Sword Casting
Lin Daoqiu did not expect Ma Shaoqiang to be so concerned about this matter.

But thinking about it carefully, the current situation of "Oriental Daily" is only gradually improving. Ma Shaoqiang's father and uncle are still hiding in Baodao.

Presumably, his life has not been easy in the past few years, and it is normal to want to make more money.

"Does Boss Ma have a channel?"

If Ma Shaoqiang only thought about winning the publishing rights in the Xiangjiang area, then Lin Daoqiu might have to think about it.

He didn't expect much income from publishing novels, after all, Lin Daoqiu would not take any of the money, but would give all of it to Huang Ying.

What Lin Daoqiu hopes is that by publishing, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" will become famous in the Chinese community in Asia.

In just a few more years, when the technology matures, Lin Daoqiu can let his subsidiary MAG develop the computer game "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, the publications of Xiangjiang and Baodao are fine."

Ma Shaoqiang's strength is limited to these two places, and he will be beyond his reach any further.

After all, in such a situation at home, the vitality was already seriously injured before, so it is already very remarkable to be able to keep the current plate.

""Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a novel that I attach great importance to, and it will be adapted into a film and television work in the future. I hope this novel can get more attention."

Lin Daoqiu didn't directly reject Ma Shaoqiang, but from what he said, the other party already understood that Lin Daoqiu couldn't be satisfied just by publishing it in Xiangjiang and Baodao.

The smile on his face began to become awkward, and Ma Shaoqiang felt that the publication of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" probably had nothing to do with him.

After chatting casually for a while, Ma Shaoqiang took the manuscript and left. Although the negotiation failed, he did not hope that the relationship with Lin Daoqiu would change.

After all, the other party has handed over "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to "Oriental Daily" for serialization. Although it is very depressing not to get the publishing rights, it is not a loss to Ma Shaoqiang.

After Ma Shaoqiang left, Lin Daoqiu began to think seriously about "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

The novel is so popular now, there is no need to worry that no one will publish it. I believe that as soon as the news is released, a large number of publishers will flock to it.

Now Lin Daoqiu is thinking about making "Legend of Sword and Fairy" into a movie.

The purpose of writing this novel was to fight against Tsui Hark's "New Shushan Swordsman".

I've been busy during this time, and Lin Daoqiu still doesn't know how Tsui Hark's play is progressing.

Fortunately, Lin Daoqiu asked Fang Jinsheng to pay more attention to the drama "New Shushan Swordsman".

After calling him in, Fang Jinsheng told Lin Daoqiu everything he knew.

Tsui Hark's film has received strong support from Bao Shaogang. The 5000 million production fee alone has made Tsui Hark full of confidence.

For this reason, Tsui Hark specially invited the special effects team in charge of "Star Wars" from abroad, just to make this "New Shushan Swordsman" a good one.

""New Shushan Swordsman" has been in production for almost two months, and one-third of the plot has been filmed. However, Tsui Hark is very vigilant and keeps people from approaching the studio, so we can't find out too many things."

Lin Daoqiu just wanted to know about the progress there. As for their special effects, Lin Daoqiu was not interested at all.

The magic studio in his own hands has already started to shine in Hollywood, compared to the teams invited by Tsui Hark.

Lin Daoqiu believes that based on strength, Magic Studio will not lose to the opponent, but in some respects, it will even be much stronger than the opponent.

"Just keep an eye on it, and let me know if anything happens."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he opened the drawer and took out an unfinished script.

Fang Jinsheng nodded. He knew that Lin Daoqiu was about to start writing the script, so he turned and walked out.

For Lin Daoqiu, if "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is made into a TV series, the plot is easy to arrange, but if it is made into a movie, it will be a bit laborious.

Because "Legend of Sword and Fairy" in the previous life was not made into a movie, Lin Daoqiu didn't have any references.

If it was filmed according to the plot of the novel, it would be better to make it into a TV series.

Go through the plot of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" in your mind. If the novel is serialized for a year, the plot should be almost finished.

In the choice of the protagonist, none of them are easy to choose.

Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling'er, and Lin Yueru alone were enough to make Lin Daoqiu worry for a while.

The person Lin Daoqiu wants should not be too old, and the early 20s are already the limit, but at this moment, Lin Daoqiu is desperate to find a candidate that satisfies him.

In desperation, Lin Daoqiu could only call Wen Jun and the others over, intending to listen to their opinions.

After being called by Lin Daoqiu with just one phone call, Wen Jun, Zheng Danrui, and Wang Jing started from different places and arrived at New Oriental.

"I plan to make "Legend of Sword and Fairy" into a movie."

After all three people arrived, Lin Daoqiu finally expressed his thoughts.

Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui glanced at each other, thinking that Lin Daoqiu called them over and said this in front of their faces. Could it be that he wanted them to be in charge of the scriptwriting of this play?
But what Wang Jing thought was, maybe Lin Daoqiu changed his mind and planned to let himself be the director of this movie.

"Brother Qiu, tell me, is there anything we need to do?"

When the three of them thought of this, they were all excited. As long as Lin Daoqiu opened his mouth, they would immediately agree.

Unfortunately, Lin Daoqiu did not make them happy for too long.

"I invite you here today to ask for your opinions. I believe you have read the novel "Legend of Sword and Fairy". What do you think of the main actors?"

Hearing this, the three of them were stunned for a moment at the same time, and then sighed secretly in their hearts.

It turned out that Lin Daoqiu called them here not to ask them to be in charge of the filming of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", but to ask about casting.

Although they felt a little disappointed, the three of them did not dare to show it in front of Lin Daoqiu.

To be able to participate in the casting of this play, I have a radiant face when I tell this matter.

"I think Zhao Ling'er should let Ms. Guan play the role, and as for Ms. Zhong, let her play Lin Yueru."

Without even thinking about it, Wen Jun gave his suggestion directly.

"The leading actor can't be too old, Andy Lau's age is very suitable, so let him play Li Xiaoyao."

Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui decided on the three protagonists of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" in a few words.

Wang Jing hadn't had time to speak, but he saw something wrong with the expression on Lin Daoqiu's face, so he quickly swallowed back what he wanted to agree with.
