Huayu started from the fairy sword

Chapter 41 An Olive Branch from Huayi!
In July, the capital is as hot as a stove.

During the day, Cao Jun didn't dare to go out, and almost always turned on the air conditioner and read scripts in the hotel room.

The script of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" was created by three Xiangjiang screenwriters.

Moreover, the three screenwriters reached an agreement with Zhang Jizhong: Yu Min is the director of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" this time. In the TV series, he will try to show the elegance and romance of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" while retaining the charm of Jin Yong's martial arts novels.

Although this version of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" is relatively faithful to the original work, after Cao Jun read it from the beginning to the end, he found that some plots and character positioning are still slightly changed and alternative interpretations .

In terms of the plot setting of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" in this script, the most important thing is to downplay the emotional entanglement between Yang Guo and other girls, and focus on the relationship between Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv, while Yang Guo and Lu Wushuang, Cheng Ying and other girls The emotional entanglement is relatively lightened.

Cao Jun believes from the bottom of his heart that these adaptations are completely unnecessary, because in his opinion, most of Jin Yong's martial arts novels do not need to be adapted, because the original works are classic enough.

Moreover, the remake of Jin Yong's martial arts drama only needs to be faithful to the original work, and it has basically succeeded for the most part.

However, the screenwriters really want to show their ingenuity, and they always play tricks in some unnecessary places, and the result is nondescript and full of mistakes.

Although Cao Jun also feels very uncomfortable with the adaptation of the screenwriters, he can't change anything now. The only thing he can do is to be himself and play the role of Yang Guo well.

According to the initial plan of the crew, the movie "The Legend of Condor Heroes" will start in September.

However, the producer Zhang Jizhong said earlier that one month before the start of "The Legend of Condor Heroes", that is, between the beginning of August and the end of August, the leading actors of the crew will undergo a month of closed training.

Actors need to train a lot, mainly martial arts, swordsmanship, posture and so on.

Therefore, before the arrival of August, Cao Jun has relatively more free time.

In other words, after winning the role of Yang Guo in "The Legend of Condor Heroes", Cao Jun's mentality has become much calmer than before.

At the same time, Cao Jun also cherishes such a leisurely life. Basically, he can lie down and never stand.

This evening, at 7 o'clock.

Cao Jun was invited by Huayi President Wang Zhonglei to have dinner at the Beijing Hotel.

After saying hello to Brother Cao, Huang Zhonglei sat down, took a serious look at Cao Jun, and couldn't help but praise: "Mr. Cao is really a talented person. Not only is he handsome, but he also has a unique figure and temperament!"

Cao Jun was completely immune to such compliments, and said humbly: "Mr. Huang is over the top. How many talents can compare with you?"

"As successful and handsome as you, the president of the group, I believe that in Huaguo's entertainment industry, there is no second one."

Huang Zhonglei waved his hand with a smile: "Hey, in front of you, a handsome guy, Mr. Huang dare not do anything wrong."

After drinking a glass of red wine, Huang Zhonglei also started to bring the topic back on track.

Huang Zhonglei asked Cao Jun to meet this time for no other reason than to win over Cao Jun and bring him under his command.

Since the casting list of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" was announced, Cao Jun has suddenly become a favorite in the market, and many film and television companies want to sign him.

Because everyone knows that Jin Yong's martial arts drama "The Legend of Condor Heroes" has a huge influence, and it is definitely a hit drama who makes it.

Not to mention, the drama "The Legend of Condor Heroes" has been hyped up by Zhang Jizhong since the cast was cast, and it has received great attention in society and on the Internet.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the film "The Legend of Condor Heroes" is not too bad, and Cao Jun's acting skills are not too bad, it is almost a certainty that he will become popular with this film.

In the eyes of the bosses of major film and television companies, Cao Jun is now a thriving cash cow, and they all want to sign him to their companies.

This is also the fundamental reason why Cao Jun would rather spend 150 million yuan to take the role of Yang Guo in "The Legend of Condor Heroes" from Zhang Jizhong.

The reason why Huang Zhonglei was so eager to meet Cao Jun was also because of Huayi's internal personnel crisis. He needed to sign some important actors to bring Huayi's situation back.

You must know that many of the artists in Huayi were brought by the gold medal manager Wang Jinghua. Now that Wang Jinghua and Huayi have conflicts, they may leave Huayi with Wang Jinghua at any time.

Faced with the upcoming increase in personnel affairs, Huayi can only plan ahead and make preparations in advance.

Huang Zhonglei asked with great interest: "Mr. Cao, I don't know, are you interested in joining Huayi?"

Cao Jun didn't answer right away, but replied with a smile: "Mr. Huang, you asked this question a little too suddenly. I really wasn't prepared for it at all."

Huang Zhonglei didn't tell the truth, he smiled and comforted him: "It's okay, Mr. Cao, don't be nervous, we are friends, this topic, just treat it as our friends, chat casually."

Cao Jun nodded, and then said: "Mr. Huang, to tell you the truth, I have been an actor for several years since I graduated from the Beijing Film Academy. A little concept."

"Don't be surprised, I really don't understand what I say, and I don't understand."

Huang Zhonglei smiled and said, "It's all right, you can tell me anything you don't understand about signing a contract with a film and television company, and I will definitely tell you everything."

Cao Jun replied with a smile: "That's so embarrassing, Huang is always a busy person, taking care of everything."

After some exchanges, Huang Zhonglei didn't expect that Cao Jun looked young, but he was also a master of pretending to be confused.

Huang Zhonglei felt that if the chat continued like this, there would be nothing to talk about, so he could only lower his face and ask Cao Jun, "Mr. Cao, I wonder if you are interested in movies?"

Cao Jun said calmly: "Of course."

Hearing Cao Jun's answer, Huang Zhonglei felt that there was something interesting, so he continued: "If Mr. Cao is interested in movies, joining Huayi is definitely a very good choice."

Cao Jun replied with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Huang for the invitation. I think I will seriously consider your suggestion."

Before Huang Zhonglei could answer, Cao Jun raised his glass and said, "Come on, Mr. Huang, I'll toast you!"

Seeing Cao Jun suddenly change the subject, Huang Zhonglei also knew that he had acted too hastily, so he raised his glass, touched Cao Jun, and said, "Cheers!"

In the ensuing chat, Huang Zhonglei was also very knowledgeable, and did not communicate with Cao Jun too much about the signing of the contract.

In fact, the movies produced by Huayi, which impressed Cao Jun the most, were Feng Xiaogang's movies. Feng Xiaogang's movies were really good. Although the upper limit is not high, the lower limit is guaranteed, and there are almost no bad movies.

Therefore, all along, Feng Xiaogang's movies have been Huayi's trump card in attracting artists.

Many domestic actresses, including Lu Bingbing and Fan Bingbing, are willing to join Huayi, mainly because of Huayi's film resources.

For many actors, the status of movie stars is much higher than that of movies and TV series, and the status of movies is also higher than that of TV series. This is a manifestation of superiority and a symbol of compulsion.

In the mainland movie circle these days, except for Zhang Yimou, Cheng Kaige, Feng Xiaogang and other big directors whose movies can make money, the movies directed by other directors are almost losing money and making no money at all.

Therefore, in terms of the current mainland film industry, in addition to China Film and Xiying, the film company Huayi can maintain a stable output.

It's not that Cao Jun doesn't understand the truth that it's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree.

But in the next few months, Cao Jun's time and energy must be in the drama "The Legend of Condor Heroes".

It is useless to sign a contract with Huayi now.

Even if he wants to sign, he has to wait until he finishes filming "The Legend of Condor Heroes" before considering the signing.

However, Cao Jun knew very well that if nothing unexpected happened, Huayi would be listed on the market in a few years.

In Cao Jun's view, if he joins Huayi and can subscribe for the original shares of Huayi, that is the real opportunity to get rich, which is much better than investing in real estate.

At the end of the drink, Huang Zhonglei still couldn't help it, and said to Cao Jun through his drink: "Mr. Cao, if you want to make a movie, you must first consider our Huayi!"

Cao Jun nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Huang, I will definitely consider your suggestion carefully."
