Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 469 Dreams Come True
"Of course I know that the scripts of TV series and comics are different, so I can understand your adaptation. I just hope that the changes won't be too drastic!"

In a conference room of Meiya Company, Ma Rongcheng sat in the chief's seat and talked. Accompanying him were Lin Lingdong and several screenwriters from Meiya Company, as well as the deputy director of the production department of Phoenix TV and the chief executive of New Vision Company. Special effects artists and so on.

This is the second script meeting held by the crew of "The Storm".

According to the regulations of Kirin Entertainment, any crew that adapts an IP must respect the opinions of the original author.

Of course, this is very maneuverable. If the crew doesn't want to respect the original author, there are ways to get around this rule.

No matter, the average production company still respects the original author. After all, if they really fall out with the original author, someone's casual remarks in newspapers and TV will arouse the ill will of a large number of fans of the original work, and they may lose a large number of fans of the original work.

Isn’t it just to buy the copyright of a comic book and adapt it into a film and television series because it has a large number of fans?
Who is willing to do this kind of lose-lose thing?
Meiya Company is no exception. After all, Ma Wing-cheng is the second best cartoonist in Hong Kong Island after Li Wannian. He is quite respected. Not only did he hire him as a consultant for the TV series, but he also invited him to join in the creation of the script.

Ma Rongcheng is also very interested in this. Although he was present when "Heroes of China" was adapted into a TV series, his status at that time was completely incomparable with what it is now.

Therefore, at that time, he did not have the power that he does now to have a huge impact on the preparation and filming of the entire TV series.

But Ma Rongcheng is very sober. He only observes and learns the progress of the entire TV series as a bystander and rarely interferes. This also makes Lin Lingdong and others have a good impression of Ma Rongcheng.

The reason why Ma Rongcheng did this was because he also wanted to open a film company.

As a recognized disciple of Li Wannian in the Hong Kong comics circle, Ma Rongcheng is learning from Li Wannian in all aspects. If Li Wannian can create many classic comics, so can he. If Li Wannian can open other companies, then he should try it himself.

What's more, movies are really popular now. It's impossible to say that Ma Rongcheng won't be tempted!
The studio opened by Ma Rongcheng has already serialized several works on "Jade Dynasty". When the time is right, these can be adapted into movies.

It is precisely because of this that he chooses to put down the comics in his hands and often come over for meetings. Do you really think that a cartoonist like him is so idle?
"Of course, we will fully respect the comic theme!"

"Yes, actually, Mr. Ma, the structure of your comic is very close to that of the TV series, and there are not many things that need to be modified!"

While Lin Lingdong promised, another screenwriter also stood up and assured Ma Rongcheng.

In fact, this is mainly thanks to Li Wannian. It is precisely because of his suggestions that Ma Rongcheng's version of "The Storm" is more film-oriented.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this time, the door of the conference room rang, and then Liu Weiqiang was seen walking in.

"The interview is over?"

Lin Lingdong asked casually, but found that Liu Weiqiang's expression was solemn, so he said nothing more.

On the other hand, Ma Rongcheng, who was on the side, saw Liu Weiqiang and said curiously: "Director Lin just told me that it will take some time for you to go to work. Are you finished now?"

"I went to interview an actor and was a little delayed. Sorry!"

"Oh? What big-name star can actually make the director take him so seriously?"

"An unknown little actor, but he was recommended by Miss Li!"

"Miss Li?"

Ma Rongcheng originally thought it was some big star, but he didn't expect it was just a small actor. He was not interested at all, but the "Miss Li" the other party mentioned made Ma Rongcheng a little confused.

Then I saw Liu Weiqiang pointing at the ceiling with his finger.

Ma Rongcheng looked up along his finger and reacted in an instant.

"Then... we really need to see it! What's the result?" Ma Rongcheng is so sincere. He has no choice. Not only is this Ms. Li very powerful, but she also has several powerful brothers who will scare people to death on the entire Hong Kong Island. That kind of thing, who wouldn’t give face?

At this moment, he fully understood Liu Weiqiang's approach.

"That's what I was going to say!"

Then, he saw Liu Weiqiang sitting upright, his face became very serious and said: "Boss, Mr. Ma, I think this person can consider trying the role of Bu Jingyun!"

As soon as these words came out, Ma Rongcheng and Lin Lingdong looked at each other at the same time, and they both saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes.

Fortunately, Lin Lingdong was familiar with Liu Weiqiang and knew that he would not act recklessly, so he asked: "Tell me your reasons!"

“Our TV series is the first TV series in Hong Kong that requires the use of a lot of special effects, so in order to control costs, we must use some new actors in the starring role.

Therefore, when selecting people, I always adhere to the principle of suitability and try my best to favor new actors! "

"Who is you? Is this actor suitable for playing Bu Jingyun?"

"That's right. Although his acting skills are still very immature, I think he interprets Bu Jingyun's character of being cold on the outside and hot on the inside very well. It's worth a try!"

As soon as Liu Weiqiang said this, everyone present fell into silence.

I have to say that there is no problem with Liu Weiqiang's statement. The only question is, can this person really take on such a big responsibility?
On the other side, Aaron Kwok walked out of the building with a confused look on his face.

Liang Meiwei saw Aaron Kwok's dejected look and quickly got out of the car and walked forward.

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if we fail. Let's go back first!"

Liang Meiwei thought Aaron Kwok had failed and was in a bad mood at the moment.

Although she was very curious about the interview just now, she didn't want to ask more questions and wanted to go back first.

Aaron Kwok continued to frown and followed Liang Meowei into the car.

After the car started, it headed towards Aaron Kwok's home.

On the way, Aaron Kwok, who had been silent until now, finally spoke: "Xiao Mei, do you think it's better to play Jian Chen? Or Bu Jingyun?"

"crunch..."

As soon as she said this, Liang Meowei lost control of the steering wheel, and the whole car drew an "S" on the ground, and then she suddenly stopped.

"How do you drive?"

The cars behind me honked and cursed.

Liang Meiwei looked at the frightened Aaron Kwok in surprise, "You want to play Bu Jingyun?"

"Not yet, not yet, you drive first! If you act like this, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to act!"

"it is good!"

Liang Meiwei restarted the car, but her heart could not calm down for a long time.

Is the dream really going to come true?
