Chapter 524 The Miracle Year of Hong Kong Martial Arts Universe
How much money does Cao Weidong have?
I'm afraid no one can explain clearly.
On the bright side.
Cao Weidong is the best-selling serial author in Hong Kong.
He wrote a series of new fairy tale works such as "Zhu Xian" and "Piaomiao Journey", which swept the literary markets of the three places with absolute overwhelming momentum.
In addition, Cao Weidong is also the founder of China Hong Kong Newspaper.
As the main publishing platform for Xianxia literary works, Huagang News has now established a firm foothold in the newspaper and periodical market, and has made a lot of money through a variety of business methods.
At the same time, Cao Weidong also has overseas relations.
He is a British overseas Chinese, and one of his confidante Song Shunci is also the granddaughter of the boss of the overseas gang Hua Qing Gang.
With this kind of background, I'm afraid you can walk sideways in the entire port city.
Behind the scenes, Cao Weidong's wealth is even more empty.
His portable space contains countless old objects and treasures, as well as various abundant supplies.
It can be said that it is modest to praise Cao Weidong for his wealth and rivalry.
That's why Cao Weidong acted so wealthy.
Founded twelve satellite companies in one go.
Zou Wenhuai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Cao Weidong was willing to bear all the expenses.
But then he asked again.
"Wang Yu is filming "The One-Armed Man vs. the Blind Man", and Xu Guanjie is filming "The Ghost Horse". These ten little brothers, what movie do you plan to film?"
Cao Weidong said calmly.
"Actually, I already have a plan, but I still need to invite a few screenwriters to help me polish the script."
"Mr. Zou, I have relatively few connections in this area, so please help me introduce him."
In Cao Weidong's plan, he is planning to shoot a new martial arts movie for each of ten new actors.
These movies share the same world view and leave suspense at the end to pave the way for the subsequent plot.
Whichever movie among these ten works is a hit, he plans to use that movie as the main line to promote the development, and then extend the Hong Kong martial arts universe.
Zou Wenhuai smiled.
"This is easy to talk about. How many screenwriters do you plan to find?"
Cao Weidong said.
"Find as many screenwriters as you can find. Don't worry, their journey will not be in vain. I will definitely get generous rewards... At least this is the case for everyone.
Count."
He gestured with a number.
Zou Wenhuai was completely shocked by Cao Weidong's generosity.
Asked dumbfounded.
"So many...and why are you looking for so many screenwriters? What a waste of money?"
Cao Weidong said mysteriously.
"You will know when the time comes."
Zou Wenhuai nodded confusedly.
Just don’t think about it.
Anyway, he didn’t pay for it, so why do you feel bad?
Thinking like this, Zou Wenhuai suddenly felt relieved, and then began to think about which screenwriters should be invited...
.......
There are many elements to the success of a movie, including directors, actors and various behind-the-scenes workers...
Of course there is one more important thing.
That's the story.
The story is like the soul of a movie, controlling the entire direction of the movie.
The screenwriter is the creator of the story.
Therefore.
The importance of screenwriting is highlighted.
At the banquet prepared by Cao Weidong, Zou Wenhuai helped Cao Weidong invite more than two dozen well-known screenwriters in Hong Kong.
These famous screenwriters come from three places.
The reason why these people were able to get together was not only Zou Wenhuai's connections, but also Cao Weidong's ability.
The most famous among these famous screenwriters is undoubtedly Ni Kuang.
Ni Kuang, formerly known as Ni Cong, is a famous novelist and screenwriter. Together with Jin Yong, Huang Zhan and Cai Lam, he is known as the "Four Great Talents in Hong Kong". His representative works are "Wesley Series", "Yuan Zhenxia Series", "Women"
"Black Knight Mulan Series" and other works have a great influence on Hong Kong.
In terms of screenwriters, the ones that the public is more familiar with include "The One-Armed Sword", "Thirteen Taibos", "Ma Yongzhen", "Thirty-Six Chambers of Shaolin", etc. Another one, "Fist of Fury", which put Bruce Lee on the altar in one fell swoop, was written by him.
Hand.
It can be said that Ni Kuang created the prosperous era of martial arts movies in Hong Kong with a single writing pen, and made famous Hong Kong stars such as Bruce Lee, Ti Lung, and David Chiang popular.
However, Cao Weidong still has some grudges against Ni Kuang.
Because of his complicated experiences, paranoid character and some dangerous, unrealistic and crazy ideas.
But if we want to create a Hong Kong martial arts universe, we really can’t avoid this person.
Cao Weidong sighed, adjusted his mood, and said.
"Mr. Nikung, although I have never met you, I have known you for a long time. I didn't expect you to come."
Ni Kuang said calmly.
"The grudge between Shaw Brothers and Zou Brothers has nothing to do with me. I just collect money to do things. If you give me a lot of money, I will naturally be willing to help."
"But I have to make it clear first, if you want me to leave the Zou family, then don't even think about it."
He thought that Cao Weidong organized a banquet to lure him to Jiahe, so he vaccinated Cao Weidong in advance.
Cao Weidong smiled.
Even if this great god really wanted to come to Jiahe, he wouldn't dare to use it.
Of course, occasional cooperation is still possible.
So Cao Weidong said politely: "My temple is too small to accommodate a giant Buddha like yours. I am here to invite you all to help me compile ten movies."
Ni basket suddenly understood.
No wonder Cao Weidong invited so many screenwriters to gather here. It turned out that he wanted to write scripts for ten movies.
But then Ni Kang became curious again.
What kind of script is this that requires so many people to gather at the same time?
Cao Weidong did not sell out.
Not long after the banquet started, Cao Weidong summoned all the screenwriters and announced that he would openly solicit movie scripts at a high price.
Then he stated his request.
Ten films require a shared worldview.
It has scalability and openness for series linkage.
The screenwriters present were whispering to each other.
For them, this is an extremely new field.
Even the neon basket is no exception.
He just came over to take a look because of Zou Wenhuai's favor.
Unexpectedly, I came across a commission that interested me.
"Hong Kong Martial Universe...what an interesting request."
This is not the end yet.
Next, based on his own memories, Cao Weidong briefly explained "Fist of Heroes" as a template to the screenwriters present, so that they could understand the concept of the Harbor Universe.
The neon basket hits the thigh directly.
"Seconds. This story is so wonderful, why didn't I think of it?"
He had a feeling of regretting meeting him too late.
It seems like I should have written this script myself.
Cao Weidong saw Ni Kuang's expression and smiled slightly.
In fact, this was really written by Ni Kuang, but he shamelessly showed it to the original author.
After the banquet, the screenwriters left each other. They were gearing up one by one, planning to start writing the script after they went back. They must write a work that satisfies Cao Weidong.
Cao Weidong's eyes showed a look of satisfaction.
With the combined efforts of these people, my Hong Kong Military Universe plan will definitely succeed.
However, this is exactly the case.
In the future, this year will be known as the Miracle Year of the Hong Kong Martial Arts Universe and will be recorded in history forever...
PS: Ni Kuang is taken from the transliteration, so I can’t say it directly. Anyone who understands understands it. In this chapter, he is just a tool.
