Chapter 90 Adaptation

As soon as Su Cheng returned to Tengyue Entertainment Company, as his temporary secretary, Lin Qi, a front deskman who had stayed from Tengyue Hotel, said in a hurry: "Boss, this is a greeting from Mr. Cha to you."

When I saw it, I found that it was a "card" similar to the "invitation letter" of later generations. There were only a few words in it, "I sincerely invite Master Su to gather at Qingyuan Tea House", signed by Liangyong.

No wonder Lin Qi is a little nervous. Mr. Jin Yong, a master of martial arts, is not attracted by his magic.

Shaking his head, Su Cheng asked, "Do you have any specific time?"

"Tomorrow's 9:30."

After waved his hand and asked Lin Qi to go out, Su Cheng then figured out what it was like to find Jin Yong to find him? It seemed that the two of them had no intersection! If there was really, it was between him and Run Run Shaw. Could it be that it was for the sake of "his sixth uncle" to sue him?

If you don’t think about it, you will know after meeting it. Then, you will start to be busy with your own affairs.

...

The next day, Qingyuan Tea House.

When Su Cheng entered, Jin Yong was already drinking tea slowly inside. Seeing this, Su Cheng was stunned. No wonder he wrote those "noble characters" and original materials in real life!

After getting closer, Su Cheng said respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Cha! I am Su Cheng."

"Oh, it's Master Su! Please sit down!"

After sitting down with suspicion, Su Cheng said in confusion: "I don't know why Mr. Cha wants to call me a master?"

Jin Yong smiled, took out a newspaper, and signaled him to take a look.

It turned out that it was the newly released "Against the Cold" serialized in "Hong Kong Entertainment Weekly" that he founded himself!

In an instant, Su Cheng remembered something. One time, when Jin Yong was interviewing, he said with an appreciation attitude: "Look at Wen Rui'an when reading books."

The work mentioned is exactly one of the representative works "Against the Cold". It seems that Master Jin has a special liking for this book!

With an awkward smile, Su Cheng said, "I dare not take it as a master. In front of you, the martial arts master, I am just making a small fuss."

After holding on, Jin Yong felt very comfortable, and then he said his purpose: "I wonder if Boss Su is willing to hand over this book to our Ming Pao for serialization, or even later publication and printing?"

"Oh?" This is very surprising. After all, logically speaking, Jin Yong should know that Hong Kong Entertainment Weekly is a newspaper under his name! His sales have steadily surpassed Ming Pao. It is definitely impossible to change newspapers and magazines. As for publishing physical books, there is no need to hand them over to the other party!

As if he could see Su Cheng's doubts, Jin Yong said bluntly: "Boss Su may not be clear. In addition to publishing Ming Pao in Xiangjiang, I also have connections in Ta Kung Pao. I occasionally write articles for him. That newspaper will be spread to the mainland."

Hearing this, Su Cheng's eyes flashed. So that's it! For the current mainland, novels like "The Legend of Qin" and "Myth" are not suitable for open serialization and publication. However, martial arts such as "Against the Cold" are different.

In addition, Su Cheng also understood that Jin Yong himself had a deep relationship in the mainland. I remember that when Bruce Lee was alive, he gave the video he shot to Mao Weiren to watch, which was in return for endless praise. It was also in this way that he became a "year-old friend" with Run Run Shaw. He called Run Run Shaw "Six Uncle". The other party called him "Xiao Cha".

Since then, most of Jin Yong's martial arts dramas have been handed over to Shaw Brothers and TVB for adaptation. That era was the end of the first half of 1979, more than a year ago.

As he was thinking, Su Cheng asked: "Mr. Cha, it's okay to leave this matter to you. However, you also know that I have a Tengyue TV station. Although it may compete with Uncle Six, if you let us do the work that Uncle Six has not adapted yet, at least in the shortest time, most of your works will be known to the world."

"Do you want the adaptation right?" Jin Yong was also very surprised.

After thinking about it, I thought: "I'm afraid this matter won't work."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "What do you think about this? Whether it is Uncle Six or our Tengyue, you can adapt and shoot one of your works, and after two years, you can hand them over to another company for adaptation and broadcast. In this way, it will be the most beneficial to wireless, Tengyue, and even you. How about it?"

Afraid that Jin Yong would hesitate, Su Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Cha, we only need the right to adapt the TV series. As for the movie, we will give it to Uncle Six."

"This..." Jin Yong said after a long silence, "It's still your boy who can fool you."

He sighed again and said, "Let's do this, I will consider this matter again and discuss it with Uncle Six. I will notify you when there is news."

"Then please ask Mr. Check." Su Cheng smiled and said, "You are also worried about the matter of "Against the Cold".

"Hey, you..." In just a short while, Jin Yong became interested in the young man in front of him. Otherwise, wouldn't he be so easy to talk to?

...

After leaving the teahouse, Su Cheng went to Tengyue TV Station.

When Le Yiling finished her work, Su Cheng called her over and said, "I just met Mr. Jin Yong and planned to adapt his martial arts works into a TV series. There will be news about this in the recent days. Which drama do you think we should shoot first?"

Upon hearing this, Le Yiling was stunned for a long time before speaking, "It's "The Return of the Condor Heroes"! It can capture the hearts of the audience best."

The current "The Return of the Condor Heroes" has not been adapted into a TV series wirelessly. The original version was also played by Andy Lau and Chen Yulian in 1983. This movie in later generations and the one by Louis Koo are considered the most classic adaptation.

"What else?"

"Is the Legend of the Condor Heroes? Many people like Huang Rong."

Shaking his head, Su Cheng said, "The adaptation of Jiayi at the time was good. Now many people still regard Michelle as Huang Rong!"

But in his heart, his thoughts were, can Huang Rong, without Weng Meiling, have a soul?

Although I don’t know much about the actress Weng Meiling, more than 90% of the people who like to watch "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in later generations watched the 1983 version played by her and Huang Rihua. It’s classic and eternal!

After looking at Le Yiling, who was not clear about martial arts dramas, Su Cheng began to think about it himself. In addition to the "The Legend of Condor Heroes", what he wanted to adapt the most were "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". The ones he admired the most were Hu Jun's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" starring Su Youpeng and Alyssa Chia.

Among them, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has not been adapted yet. However, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been adapted more than ten years ago. Subsequently, in 1978, a TV series starring Adam Cheng and Liza Wang were also aired.

In short, what can be discussed firmly are the "The Legend of Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that have not been adapted yet. There is also a lot of hope for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Su Cheng has no feelings for Jin Yong's favorite "The Deer and the Cauldron". This work began to be adapted in 1977, and it was still played by Wen Xueer, who had joined Tengyue TV.

After sorting out his thoughts, Su Cheng said: "During this time, you can arrange for all the artists on the stage to take a few sets of costume photos. I want to choose and finally choose the suitable actors to participate. Remember, you can't stand there, you have to have some movements in martial arts dramas, such as swinging swords, fighting fiercely."

"Okay, boss, I will arrange it!" After all, this is the first time that their Tengyue TV adapted a Jin Yong martial arts drama, so it naturally needs to be taken seriously. It is hard to say that many "popular actors" can be produced in an instant.
