From tycoon to global chaebol

Chapter 237 The movie begins with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Qin Yang took advantage of the situation and hugged Zhang Ying, it was considered a hug!There was no sense of incongruity.

Director Wang, You Xiaoqing and Cen Chong all came up to greet Qin Yang.

Qin Yang shook hands with everyone, and just after finishing the work, the factory manager came.

"Hehe, Manager Qin, welcome!" The factory manager shook hands with Qin Yang.

Qin Yang exchanged pleasantries with the factory manager and asked, "What are you rehearsing for?"

Director Wang said with a smile: "The filming of Song of Youth has been completed more than half, and now there is a shortage of extras for a fallen woman, and I can't find a suitable one for a while. The main reason is that this role is newly added, for better performance. It perfectly embodies the protagonist played by Zhang Ying. It also made several actors unable to play the temperament and image of this fallen woman. Xiaoqing and Cen Chong are both competent, but their roles in this play are different. It's very important, so I haven't found a suitable candidate until now. Hey! The current actresses are too decent, they are all like flowers, and their images are all gentle heroines, without personality. Not good Choose! Now I have asked Shanghai Film Factory, Zhujiang Film Factory, Chang’an Film Factory, and Changchun Film Factory for help. See if they have such an actress. The main reason is that there are many roles in this role, and famous actors also I don’t want to come, I’m exhausted. It’s hard!”

His words touched Qin Yang a little.It reflects that actors are scarce in this era.Now an actor is basically a graduate of film school and drama school.And the film school has only a few students every year.It can't meet the requirements of shooting at all.There are also some actors selected from various art troupes.For example, like Zhu Ling.

Zhu Ling?By the way, why isn't she here?

Qin Yang frowned and looked around.

At this time, the director smiled and said, "Manager Qin, but you don't have to worry, the actor will definitely be found. It won't delay the release of the film."

"I know." Qin Yang said with a smile, "Director Li, I'm here this time to talk to you about my film company."

When he said this, Director Li's eyes lit up, and he quickly smiled in surprise: "Okay, okay, then please invite Manager Qin to come to my office!"

Qin Yang smiled and said, "Let's all come together! It's a symposium."

"Okay, okay!" Cen Chong approached Qin Yang.

You Xiaoqing smiled.

There are also a few former young actors and actresses, and three young actors, who seem to be supporting roles in this movie.Of course they are not qualified to hold a symposium.

So only Director Wang, Cen Chong, You Xiaoqing, Zhang Ying, and a new star actor Zhou Lijing went to Director Li's office.In terms of image, Zhou Lijing is not inferior to Tan Guoqiang.It's just that the development of acting career is not very good.Tan Guoqiang became a professional accountant of the emperor, but he disappeared later.

But at this time, he was still very famous.In this movie, he plays Zhang Ying's father.And Zhang Ying has a lot of rivalry.

Qin Yang felt that Zhou Lijing was a shy person, not very talkative, and he looked a little shy when shaking hands with Qin Yang.A bit like Zhou Xingchi.However, the two are still different.

After entering the office, You Xiaoqing hurriedly poured tea for Qin Yang, the factory director and the director, obviously she was very sensible.

After sitting down, Director Li handed over the cigarette.

Qin Yang took out Huazi and said, "Suck mine!" He sent one to Director Li, Director Wang and Zhou Lijing, and Cen Chong wanted one too.Zhang Ying wanted it too, but seeing her cousin's stern eyes, she didn't dare to speak.She sat next to her cousin, showing her status.

Cen Chong chose to sit on the other side of Qin Yang. She wanted to be next to Qin Yang, and even more wanted to get close to him, because she liked Qin Yang.I like it so much, she can do anything for Qin Yang.

Director Li smiled and said, "Manager Qin, please tell me, we are all ears!"

Qin Yang smiled and thought, this is good enough to lick, but it is quite comfortable.

"Well! That's it. I have registered a film company in Hong Kong Island, so I won't open a film company in China."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone including You Xiaoqing was shocked, they were very surprised.According to Qin Yang, if they don't open a film company in China, it means that they can't make extra money.

Of course, he couldn't use Qin Yang's company to raise his star position further.This is a loss for them.

"Manager Qin, are you planning to cooperate with us?" Director Li asked with an eager look on his face.

Qin Yang smiled faintly and said, "No."

As soon as these two words came out, the hearts of those present were immediately relieved.

Of course, Zhang Ying didn't care about this matter. She knew very well that if her cousin opened a film company in Hong Kong Island, she must be the top name of the company.

"Oh, then how do we cooperate?" Director Li asked.

Qin Yang said, "Make a co-production."

"Co-production?" Director Li frowned, then nodded and said, "Well, even if Shaolin Temple is a co-production, it is mainly based on Hong Kong Island film companies."

"This time, both parties must be reasonable. My film company cooperates with Sky Film Studio to shoot at least ten films, including eight commercial films and two main theme films. This is my plan. The cooperation model is that the personnel of the two parties cooperate with each other. For example, for a director, two directors are needed, and for actors, I also want to ask Hong Kong Island to chase well-known actors now, domestically, it’s all of you here. The movie we cooperate must be a blockbuster.” Qin Yang said lightly.

"Big movie?" You Xiaoqing asked.

At this time, there is no concept of a blockbuster movie, so You Xiaoqing doesn't know about it.

Qin Yang nodded and said: "Yes, a blockbuster movie means big investment, big production, luxurious cast, luxurious director lineup, and then a wonderful movie is produced. This is the concept of a blockbuster movie."

Well, the concept of blockbuster was first proposed by Qin Yang.

After listening to Qin Yang's words, Director Li nodded in agreement and said: "Big movie, big movie, these two words are good, it fully explains the interest of our movie."

Qin Yang then smiled and said, "For example, Shaolin Temple is considered a blockbuster movie. Of course, what I want to shoot must be a movie that is more exciting than Shaolin Temple."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in surprise.For them, Shaolin Temple is an absolute big production.

Bigger than the Shaolin Temple, what would that be like?Some of them dare not imagine.

But Cen Chong was excited.

"That's great." She clapped her hands.

Director Li asked: "Then, does Manager Qin also want to make a martial arts movie?"

"Of course." Qin Yang nodded and said, "Martial arts movies are popular among people." He knows very well that from now to the beginning of the 21st century is the prime time for martial arts movies.Of course it is a very good choice to make martial arts films now, and it is also a guarantee of box office.

Director Li nodded and said, "I think this is a good idea. I think Manager Qin must have a specific goal."

Qin Yang nodded and smiled, "Yes, the target is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?" Factory Manager Li was stunned for a moment and asked.

You Xiaoqing and Cen Chong glanced at each other.

Qin Yang said: "Yes, this is a martial arts novel written by a man named Wang Dulu in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. I wonder if everyone has read it?"

Qin Yang's question made several people look at each other in blank dismay, apparently none of them had read it.That's right, a martial arts novel, not well known yet.Now the market does not know how to find this book is still unknown.You know, Jin Yong's novels haven't been published in China yet.In other words, this period is not at all the time when martial arts novels are popular.What is popular now is pure literature, foreign literature.People don't pay attention to such low-level martial arts novels.

However, this martial arts novel by Wang Dulu still has practical significance.At least there are no miraculous martial arts in it, and the background settings are all based on reality.It can be said to be a realistic martial arts novel.This is completely different from the new Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts novels that became popular later.Compared with these new martial arts novels, what this novel lacks is entertainment.

However, in 2000, a Huaguo director adapted the novel and made it into a movie, which was very successful.Not only was it a box office success, but it won an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and a Golden Globe.

These two awards can represent the highest film level in the world.It is every filmmaker's dream to win these two awards.

It can be said that this step is a very successful martial arts movie.Qin Yang also watched it and liked it very much.However, he doesn't quite remember the thoughts conveyed in the movie.When I was watching it, I only focused on the story and martial arts.A wonderful step-by-step movie.

But to be honest, the entertainment of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in 2000 is not particularly strong.Compared with Li Lianlian's Huang Feihong, it still lacks entertainment.Of course, the 90s was the explosive period of martial arts movies on Hong Kong Island, and many martial arts movies with artistic quality were released.

Movies like Once Upon a Time are the pioneers of kung fu movies.From the birth of the first Once Upon a Time movie, the category of kung fu movies has emerged.This is still different from martial arts movies.His more realistic form of kung fu is characteristic of this type of film.For example, there is no magic of flying into the sky and escaping from the ground, it is closer to reality, and the martial arts design is very dazzling, which is popular with the audience.

However, Qin Yang feels that it is still a bit early for such a realistic kung fu movie, and it will take a few years to make it.Today's audience prefers to watch fantastic martial arts movies.Therefore, it is still necessary to follow the trend.

Now Qin Yang remembers most of the plots of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and then based on the original work, he will re-create a more perfect Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. If possible, he will participate in the Oscars as a Hong Kong film. Winning the award will be a basis for him to formally enter Hollywood.

But the first thing to solve is the script. Before solving the script, what he has to do is to find the copyright issue.

He's buying out the film rights to the book.Not only that, but he will also go to Hong Kong Island to meet Mr. Jin Yong and buy the film copyright of some of his novels.

These things have to be done step by step, first buy the movie copyright of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
