Golden Age 1990

Chapter 228 CCTV has changed (5000 words)
It can be said that no matter what the Kung Fu Emperor would choose.

Bai Feng is already in an invincible position.

Moreover, as for the summer vacation, Bai Feng has already planned it.

He is going to be a spoiler this time.

Well, actually Bai Feng is very confident about "Young and Dangerous 2".

This movie actually has more intrigue than the first one.

Although, judging from the level of conspiracy, it is not very high-end.

But it's enough in a gangster movie.

Moreover, this time Bai Feng also arranged for Kuroki Hitomi to play the role of the black boss woman.

At least she won't lose to Shuzhen.

In short, it is interesting to see how Bai Feng arranges it. Moreover, this year's Hong Kong summer season itself has a small problem.

Among the summer movies that are probably scheduled to be released this year are "Human Torch" and "Rare and Harder".

Perhaps many movie fans in later generations would never have imagined that the two movies were actually released on the same schedule, but the time difference was actually less than a month.

Not only these two films, but also our Ah Xing’s films.

"The Night of Resurrection".

Yes, this film that I mentioned to Bai Feng before will also be released during this period.

Moreover, it is not just this one, there is also a movie called "The Variety Star" that will be released in the summer.

From this perspective, competition in this year's summer season is very fierce, and this does not include Hollywood blockbusters.

If we talk about Hollywood last year, it was mainly feature films such as "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Forrest Gump" that were more famous.

But this year is different, with "007 GoldenEye", "Pocahontas", "Batman Forever" and so on.

The main focus of these Hollywood blockbusters is a business, which is to collect box office.

So, from the perspective of the Hong Kong film market situation... the pressure is really quite high.

What left a deep impression on Bai Feng was "The Night of Resurrection".

First of all, this movie was really fun to shoot.

You don’t have to laugh at anything else. Who can hold back after that Li Jianren appears?

Ruhua's famous name was actually established by this movie, even though he was Ruhua before.

The other standout is of course Wen Wei. Although she is still very noisy in the movie, this movie really needs her noisiness.

It should be said that this is no ordinary ghost movie.

Compared with many previous ghost films, it is more creative, more humorous, and more relevant to the times.

Actually, it's not easy.

Many people may not know it very well, but Liu Zhenwei actually became famous in the first place because of his ghost movies.

Zombie and ghost movies have developed considerably, and Liu Zhenwei also has a share of the credit.

It’s just this movie…

Bai Feng remembered that Liu Zhenwei later said in an interview that the last scene was when Ah Xing was possessed by a ghost, and then he gave the chainsaw to Wen Wei and asked her to chop him to death.

Liu Zhenwei said that this was actually what he wanted to tell Ah Xing, just kill him like this.

Because "Westward Journey" lost money quite miserably, Liu Zhenwei wanted to use this to atone for his sins.

Of course, I don’t know if this guy told Ah Xing about this matter, but even if he did, they seemed to have never cooperated since then.

I won’t go into details about this. In short, Bai Feng needs to stir things up a bit during this summer vacation.

As for Bai Feng's true body... of course he has to return to the mainland.

It's just that this time he came to Hong Kong was different from before. This time he brought a "little burden" with him.

"Hey, why were you so listless when you came back that night?"

"Ah? What day?"

"That's the day!"

"It's not just once or twice that I felt listless. Which time are you talking about?"

"Hey! Why are you like this? Is such a listless thing worth showing off?"

"Ah? But isn't that a fact? Since it is a fact, why should I deny it?"

"You, you..."

"What's wrong? Isn't it okay if I admit it?"

"Humph!"

Li Xiaoran was that little burden, and she still felt that she had not completed the task assigned to her by Sister Liu.

But the key to this mission is that this guy Bai Feng is really too difficult to deal with.

If we evaluate it as a game, then Bai Feng is really a super difficult BOSS.

Li Xiaoran felt in her heart that her mission had failed. Of course, she was very unwilling to do so, but there was nothing she could do about it at the moment.

Even some verbal attacks could not hurt Bai Feng at all.

See how easily he copes with this?
This guy doesn't even care if he complains about how exhausted he is.

This... There are currently some advertisements in our mainland that hint at this aspect.

Men have to make up for it.

Bai Feng is an advertiser. If Li Xiaoran complained like this, wouldn't he be able to hear it?
Otherwise, he is a very difficult boss to defeat.

Li Xiaoran had nothing to do here. Bai Feng naturally saw everything in his eyes, and he was already laughing in his heart.

Just for now...

"Actually, stop caring about my physical problems. Why not care about yourself."

"I, what's wrong with me?"

"Haha...what else happened? Have you forgotten that I also gained something from coming to Hong Kong this time?"

"Harvest? What harvest?"

"No, your brain is letting you eat it? Did you forget it so quickly? You are going to star in "Little Li Flying Knives"."

"Huh? That's the one!"

When Li Xiaoran heard that it was this 'harvest', or in other words, this guy Bai Feng actually called such a character a 'harvest', which in itself was a particularly outrageous thing!

As far as our mainland entertainment industry is concerned, Li Xiaoran is not just a little white rabbit who has never heard of anything.

So and so is being kept, or is being exchanged for something, okay, exchanging the body for a role, this... then who isn't changing for a heroine?

As a result, after spending so many days in Hong Kong with this guy, I finally got the role of a 'maid'.

What is this!

Well, this matter cannot be discussed that way. After all, the relationship between Li Xiaoran and Bai Feng is not like that. It is really not an unspoken rule.

As for what the specific rules are... ahem, they are no longer rules.

As for the specific relationship, they may not be able to tell.

But it's not that kind of relationship anyway, it's probably more than friends, not lovers, and there are also many conflicts of interest mixed in.

Probably about the same.

But Li Xiaoran could not help but feel that this was too much of a loss.

Can this 'maid' be considered a 'harvest'?
Bai Feng looked at the girl's clear eyes and knew what she was thinking.

At that moment, I couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.

"If you believe me, this maid might be better than the heroine."

"what?"

is it possible?

Of course Bai Feng's thought was...this 'maid' turned out to be a golden lock!
If you, Li Xiaoran, copy Jinsuo's route, of course, pay attention to paying taxes.

Then your future is limitless.

Moreover, to say the least, you can be regarded as the person who stole the golden lock.

Isn't this powerful enough for you?

Well, of course Li Xiaoran can't understand the above, and Bai Feng can't explain it either.

So, I had to be more serious and thoughtful.

I hope Li Xiaoran can understand his good intentions.

Well...how could Li Xiaoran realize this!
However, Li Xiaoran was convinced by Bai Feng.

To be precise, it wasn't that she was convinced, but that she felt that this 'maid' was just that.

If you want to act, just act, and you won't lose any meat.

There is no way, this girl actually likes him in her heart.

So, thinking about it this way, this trip to Hong Kong was not bad.

This girl Li Xiaoran has a bit of talent for silly fun.

"Wait a moment, I'm talking to Sister Hong on the phone."

Before getting on the plane, Bai Feng didn't do his little radio trick this time, but he made a phone call with Sister Hong.

"Oh, so fast?"

"We have cooperated very well with Wuxi before, and of course there will be no problems this time."

"That……"

"If you come..."

"Cough...this..."

Bai Feng didn't expect that Sister Hong would move so quickly. As soon as he took down "Xiao Li's Flying Knife", Sister Hong had already started working on it.

Don't underestimate these, there are a lot of things to do here, even though Bai Feng has been in Hong Kong for a long time.

Just like setting up a project.

In fact, it is still the same as before, that is, TV stations are still the ones that can make TV series.

However, everyone also knows what should be done, which is to talk to the TV station like a company.

In fact, many people are working on TV series these days, such as Wang Wei, Feng Xiaogang, and Zhang Guoli.

It is a microcosm of the current economic model.

We are all self-employed, and the TV station is a state-owned enterprise. If we want to create something, we can cooperate.

It's actually very flexible.

It’s okay to talk.

But there are also some difficult aspects, such as 'initiating a project'.

If you want to make a film or television drama, getting the project approved is one of the first steps. Of course, this step also involves different people.

For someone like Bai Feng, who is powerful, famous, and well-connected, if he has such a good relationship with Factory Director Cheng, then of course it won't be a problem.

But without these, it would not be uncommon for a project to be established for a year and a half.

Sister Hong is even better at dancing. What she said is that the project was completed within a few days.

Later, I found Wuxi and the talks went very smoothly.

In short, the team is now set up.

On Bai Feng's side...

"How about I send you to the crew?"

This guy said this to Li Xiaoran, which made Li Xiaoran even more angry. "A maid! As for that!"

This behavior made Bai Feng laugh.

But he originally wanted to say something, but another phone call came. This phone call directly changed his plan.

"Mr. Jin Yong agreed, but now something went wrong."

"what happened?"

"Everyone can't decide which novel to buy with that dollar."

"what?"

The caller was Zhang Dabeard, who was currently filming "Water Margin" at the Zhuozhou Film and Television Base.

And this call obviously involves CCTV's mountainous struggle.

Yes, Bai Feng knew it right away.

Among the adaptations of these four famous works, "Water Margin" is now the last one. Teacher Ren is in charge of all the above four works.

He is responsible for the overall situation, but he is not young at all. The next person to do the work should be a guy like Zhang Big Beard.

But, can this matter be so stable?
Bai Feng understood Zhang Dabeard's intention, hoping to use him, a former hero, to help decide this matter.

Yes, Bai Feng has some prestige in CCTV. After all, he helped get a lot of funds when "Three Kingdoms" was produced.

The key to those funds is…USD!
At that juncture, our country was very short of dollars, so Bai Feng was indeed a hero.

This is absolutely true.

But what can be done in this situation?
Bai Feng made a quick decision and first stabilized Zhang Beard.

"Listen to me, you must stick to "Swordsman"!"

His words were very powerful, and Zhang Beard seemed to have a backbone.

A lot tougher.

And like this, Bai Feng must change his plan.

"There is no other way. I can't accompany you to Wuxi."

When Li Xiaoran heard these words, she felt inexplicably sad.

But his words were very tough.

"It's not rare in the first place."

This girl's thoughts were written all over her face. Bai Feng laughed and pinched her fair face.

"Okay, I'll make it up to you if I get a chance."

These words made Li Xiaoran feel warm again.

However, she was tall and pale, so she didn't show it.

But no matter what, this trip to Hong Kong is really worthwhile.

……

In fact, in many ways.

When CCTV negotiates copyright with Mr. Jin Yong this time, it almost has only one choice.

That is "Swordsman".

This is really the case. Just analyze the current situation briefly.

First of all, TVB wants to film "The Condor".

Who plays Rong'er here, right or wrong? There's no need to say.

So, this suddenly narrows the choice greatly.

TVB came first and negotiated with Jin Yong first, so this matter cannot be changed.

"The Condor" was originally the first part of the "Condor Trilogy".

To put it simply, TVB will definitely shoot three movies this time. Although they are very stingy, this plan is absolutely obvious.

Let’s look at Mr. Jin Yong’s works, which ones are suitable for adaptation into TV series?

In fact, there are only a few of them.

"Blooded Sword", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword", "The Swordsman", "The Legend of the Dragon", "The Deer and the Cauldron", "Snow Mountain Flying Fox and Flying Fox Gaiden".

In fact, these are the ones that are more suitable for filming TV series.

The rest are either short stories that can be made into movies at best, or they are really difficult to make.

For example, "Yue Nv Sword" has been filmed as a film and television work so far. Of course, the heroine is still Li Saifeng.

But, you see, this work is really difficult to shoot, and probably even fewer people have heard of "Yuanyang Knife".

Some people would say "The Book of Swords and Enmities"?

This is indeed suitable for filming a TV series, but it is actually not very easy to film because the novel itself is a biography of heroes. As far as the novel itself is concerned, this novel is Jin Yong's first. At this stage, it is difficult to even say that it is a novel. A new martial arts novel.

Moreover, it also has a brutal ending... Looking at the several film and television adaptations, not many have been successful.

The other two are "Liancheng Jue" and "Xia Ke Xing". In fact, these two novels can be regarded as novellas. Of course, from the perspective of traditional literature, they are also full-length novels, but they are different from other Jin Yong's works, or from the later works. Compared with online articles, this is much shorter.

These two films can be made into TV series or movies, but the problem lies in this duality.

When filming a TV series, you can't make it very long. It will be over in about ten episodes. Even if you try to force the plot into something, it's useless.

In the past, "Xia Ke Xing" was Chao Wei's version, which had a lot of plot changes, but still didn't shoot many episodes.

Those above are more suitable for filming TV series, and among them, the ones that are most suitable for adapting TV series, especially those suitable for CCTV adaptation.

Actually, it’s about five.

"The Swordsman", "The Condor Trilogy" and "Dragon".

That’s right, that’s five of them.

Because CCTV wants to make a TV series, it cannot be a small production, it must be a big one.

The novel "Blue Blood Sword", in fact, the original text is more like an old-school martial arts novel from the past. This is Jin Yong's second novel.

In it, Yuan Chengzhi has a lot of content about fighting monsters and upgrading, practicing on his own, and learning skills from many experts. This aspect accounts for at least half of the content.

So, obviously, these five are more suitable.

Able to do large-scale productions.

In addition, the novel "The Deer and the Cauldron" is actually particularly difficult to film.

Yes, among Jin Yong's novels, "The Deer and the Cauldron" is definitely the most difficult one.

What's so difficult about this?
people!
We have to find that kind of Wei Xiaobao.

Let's put it this way, Ah Xing's performance as Wei Xiaobao was good, but in fact, he didn't play Wei Xiaobao, he played Zhou Xingchi.

The really best Wei Xiaobao is the version of Pheasant, and Pheasant plays the real Wei Xiaobao.

Because Wei Xiaobao in the book is quite damaged and bad. He is always full of swear words (Spicy Mom), and he has no chivalrous attitude in his actions. He has a bottom line and so on... Anyway, he sleeps seven at a time.

The point is... it's cheap.

However, the biggest problem with Pheasant is that he is too old. Even though he performed all those things, he is also mean, especially when he smiles.

But he is too old. In the book, Wei Xiaobao was in his teens, following Mao Shiba to the capital, and met Hai Dafu by chance.

The pheasant appeared... too mature, pretending to be young.

However, this is just such a small problem. After ignoring this, everything else is an advantage.

Therefore, the most difficult part of "The Deer and the Cauldron" is to have such an actor who can play the role of Wei Xiaobao in the book.

And precisely because of this, all subsequent versions of Pheasant's "The Deer and the Cauldron" were failures, and the ones that failed were miserable.

Even if Xiao Ming is the one, he has lost sight of it.

A domineering president who insists on pretending to be mean is completely fake.

As for the fake Xiayu version, it’s even more difficult to watch.

That thing... I won’t comment on it.

It's not like he can't act, but he really couldn't perform like Wei Xiaobao.

Therefore, "The Deer and the Cauldron" cannot be filmed now.

As for "Dragon", this novel can be said to be the pinnacle of writing, but.

This novel was really difficult to write.

It can be said that it is a little less difficult than "The Deer and the Cauldron", but the overall requirements are higher.

First of all, if you want to film "Dragon" successfully, you must understand what Mr. Jin Yong wants to write.

Many directors, screenwriters, and actors are all confused.

If this is the case, they may not have studied this novel to any extent.

In fact, there are three words to be written in this "Dragon and the Eight Parts":

Can't ask for it.

The eight divisions of heaven and dragon, the Buddha said: eight sufferings.

The greatest suffering among the eight sufferings is not getting what you want.

This is why, later, Jin Yong made the last modification and changed Wang Yuyan to return to her cousin.

Because this is consummation, and this is what the whole book cannot ask for.

Duan Yu finally got it in the previous version.

After the change, I just can’t get it.

Qiao Feng couldn't ask for A'Zhu, Xu Zhu couldn't ask to be a monk in the temple, Duan Yu couldn't ask for a lover, Murong Fu couldn't ask for restoration, You Tanzhi couldn't ask for A'Zi, A'Zi couldn't ask for Qiao Feng, Yelu Hongji couldn't ask for it. The eldest brother who dominates the world cannot ask for his son, and they are separated from each other as soon as they meet. Duan Zhengchun has picked up so many girls, and in the end his son is not his. Duan Yanqing wants to be the emperor, but it is a pity...

Although, our country’s education system is still good, and the nine-year compulsory education is doing very well.

However, Bai Feng dares to say: many people really can't understand this.

This is not because he is showing off or pretending to be a top student.

It's a fact, and it's the same for many literary and artistic workers. Those directors, screenwriters, etc. may not necessarily understand it.

Therefore, in the end, there are only two versions of "Dragon" that can be talked about and discussed by everyone.

One is from 97TVB, and the other is the Feifina version.

In fact, Feifei's version is still very controversial.

The other versions are just rubbish. Not to mention the subtle themes in the book, they are just pretending to be martial arts, fighting and so on, without even seeing it.

Well, that's clear.

If you want to film "Dragon", you must have a long accumulation and a very good experience in filming martial arts dramas.

Otherwise, this drama will definitely not work well.

in this way……

Currently, the most suitable one for CCTV is actually the only one "Swordsman"!
Bai Feng is a top student, he really has something.

So how can he convince other CCTV leaders now?
Just like that, Bai Feng, who was thinking a lot, arrived at the Zhuozhou Film and Television Base.

This is really like flying first and then changing cars.

It’s a lot of fuss.

But the most refreshing thing is that I met a beauty first.

"Oh, brother Lao Bai, why are you here?"

Sister Shuang is indeed a fellow countrywoman, and her bright eyes make people happy when they see her.

　Thank you all for your support, thank you very much.
