Reborn Capital Madman

The response of the TV series "Fearless Fearless" has been so good that it goes without saying that after its premiere, it was immediately followed by reruns.

Naturally, the filming of the sequel "Chen Zhen" has also started in full swing.

It is necessary to point out that based on the great success of the previous work "Huo Yuanjia", "Chen Zhen" no longer needs Gao Xian's intervention. In other words, there is no need to refer to the so-called "original work". It only needs to follow the inertia.

If you run it, you can't go wrong.

What Gao Xian is really concerned about is that Shanghua Culture needs a wave of "gilding" to make final preparations for listing.

And Da Xia Jin's "The Condor Trilogy" is one of the goals.

In fact, in addition to wanting to acquire the rights to adapt the TV series "The Condor Trilogy", Gao Xian also had an eye on Jin Yong himself.

Of course, both parties had already agreed on the purpose of this meeting in advance, so after the pleasantries, they quickly got down to business.

Liang Xin first expressed her admiration, "Every part of Cha Sheng's 'The Condor Trilogy' is wonderful; every heroine in it has a distinctive personality and is so lifelike that it makes me have extravagant hopes that I can

How great it is to have the opportunity to live out your magic addiction on the small screen!"

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" included in the "Trilogy of the Condor Trilogy" were all adapted into movies from the 1950s to the 1960s after they were completed.

Big screen.

Among them, "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" has been adapted into movies the most times, three times; "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" have been adapted once each.

As for "The Condor Trilogy" being adapted into a TV series, it had never happened before Gao Xian came to Jin Yong.

Therefore, Jin Yong was looking forward to this cooperation, so after hearing Liang Xin's compliment, he laughed happily, "I hope to be able to enjoy Miss Liang's performance on the small screen as soon as possible."

Gao Xian handed a document to Jin Yong, "Sheng Cha, this is the preliminary contract proposed by Shanghua Culture regarding the rights to adapt the TV series of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword".

"Look at what conditions you are not satisfied with, and I will make modifications here."

Jin Yong is not only a hero, he is also a shrewd businessman.

So, Jin Yong immediately skimmed the contract skillfully. As a result, after just a few glances, he raised his head in surprise and said, "Mr. Gao, are you sure you will pay one million yuan for the adaptation rights?"

Gao Xian smiled slightly, "For such a grand and elegant event in the literary world, I'm worried that one million yuan is not enough."

Jin Yong, who was greatly impressed, stopped asking further questions and continued to read the contract.

He discovered that although Gao Xian just said that this was a preliminary contract, in fact, its content was still very complete and detailed.

Take the one-million-yuan licensing fee for the TV series adaptation of "The Condor Trilogy" that Jin Yong was surprised by just now. The contract details the payment details - after the two parties signed the contract, Shanghua Cultural Association

Pay 100,000 yuan equivalent to the signing fee; before the filming of each TV series officially starts, Shanghua Culture will pay 300,000 yuan respectively.

Shanghua Culture also has a clear definition of the content of the TV adaptation rights of the "Condor Trilogy" it purchased, including that the adaptation rights are exclusive within Hong Kong and are valid for twelve years.

Seeing that Jin Yong had been thinking about these terms for a long time, Gao Xian took the initiative to explain: "Cha Sheng must have also thought of the 'Legend of the Condor Heroes', 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes', 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' included in 'The Condor Trilogy'".

"Dragon Slayer", no matter which one it is, is huge in length. After being adapted into a TV series, the length will inevitably reach dozens of episodes."

"This is one of the advantages of TV series over movies. The ample length is enough to express the theme and content of the original work."

"The problem that will arise is that the financial and time costs of TV series production will further increase, and the return cycle will also be extended."

"Therefore, I believe that the twelve-year authorization time limit is not only necessary, but also very suitable."

"The purpose of limiting the authorization to Xiangjiang is nothing more than this."

Liang Xin smiled sweetly and said: "I remembered a very interesting thing. Mr. Cha can grant the adaptation rights to the producers of Xiangjiang and Baodao respectively, and let them compete to see whose TV series is more in line with the audience. .”

Jin Yong was so amused that he couldn't stop laughing. He continued to read the contract and found that the remaining parts were filled with content that was so comfortable that he was surprised.

for example:

Jin Yong’s opinions will be sought for the adaptation of the TV series;

Jin Yong’s opinion will be sought for the selection of the male and female protagonists of the TV series.

…

At the end, Jin Yong himself felt a little embarrassed and said bluntly, "These conditions are so thoughtful and considerate, some of which I didn't even think of myself."

"Zha Sheng is a leading figure in the literary world. No matter how much respect he is given, it is all due." After Gao Xian handed over his hat, he said sincerely: "Shanghua Culture Company plans to go public next year, so I would like to invite the highly respected Cha Sheng. student, as a director.”

It is very common for companies like Xiangjiang to hire celebrities from society as directors to expand the company's reputation.

Therefore, when Jin Yong heard the invitation, he was not surprised. He just considered whether there would be anything wrong with his position as director of Shanghua Culture Company.

Gao Xian, who was observing the situation on the sidelines, promptly handed over two documents - one was an introduction to the latest situation of Shanghua Culture, and the other was the appointment letter of director of Shanghua Culture.

Jin Yong flipped through the pages and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Zhong Jinghui is going to be the general manager of Shanghua Culture?"

Gao Xian nodded, "This year's BTV artist training class has graduated. Zhong Jinghui, who has some free time, happens to be the general manager of Shanghua Culture."

Jin Yong nodded and expressed his position very simply: "I am very touched by Mr. Gao's courtesy and sincerity. It is my honor and pleasure to cooperate with Shanghua Culture."

…

After saying goodbye to Jin Yong and getting in the car, Liang Xin asked curiously: "Which part of the 'Condor Trilogy' do you plan to let Shanghua Culture shoot first?"

Gao Xian smiled playfully, "Once you get the copyright, it doesn't mean you can shoot it right away. Let's save it for a few years first and then talk about it."

Liang Xin muttered in confusion, "Do you have too much money to do such boring things?"

Gao Xian's face showed an indescribable look of contempt, "Before Shanghua Culture was listed on the market, it was not worth spending 100,000 yuan to ask the leading figures in Hong Kong's literary world to gild it."

Liang Xin asked back: "You invited Jin Yong to be the director of Shanghua Culture, and ended up buying the copyright of his work, but then you didn't film it. How can he be happy?"

"Of course I have a valid reason for doing this." Gao Xian explained seriously: "Obviously, no matter which one of the 'Condor Trilogy' is adapted into a TV series, it will be in thirty episodes. above."

“With Shanghua Culture’s current production level, I’m afraid we won’t be able to handle such a large-scale work.”

"Besides, the Xiangjiang TV audience still needs to be further expanded. Even if the 'Condor Trilogy' is filmed now, it will be a waste."

"More importantly, the 'Condor Trilogy' itself still has many areas that need to be improved."

"Take "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" as an example. Although the character Qin Nanqin is Yang Guo's biological mother, in terms of status, she can be combined with Mu Nianci to enhance the compactness of the story."

Liang Xin rolled her eyes and said, "Then Jin Yong will revise it. At that time, we will see whether your hoarding plan can still be successful."

Gao Xian couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You are really stupid! Jin Yong is still writing "The Deer and the Cauldron". With his current status, how can he possibly go through all the hardships to "double-open"?"
