Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2040 "Fengyun" comes out

With the plot written by Lin Daoqiu, Ma Rongcheng made rapid progress in the production of comics. After more than a month, "Fengyun" was officially released.

In the previous life, the serialization of "Fengyun" was put in "The World's Painting Collection" by Ma Rongcheng, and there was not only the comic "Fengyun", but also two short stories "The Two Poles" and "Twilight Warrior".

But in this life, Ma Rongcheng did not establish his Tianxia Publishing Co., Ltd., so it is impossible for the publication "Tianxia Huaji" to exist.

Therefore, "Fengyun" was released directly in a 16-format booklet.

The story of the first issue is about Bu Jingyun, from the ruin of his family to being rescued by Wuming, and then leaving Wuming to join the Tianxiahui.

It can be said that the first volume of "Feng Yun" has already hooked book fans enough.

Because this book is well-produced, and because Lin Daoqiu is the screenwriter, it directly broke the sales record of Xiangjiang Manga's historical comics after it was released, reaching 25 copies.

After hearing the news, Huang Yulang couldn't help but be surprised, because with the level of "Fengyun" in the future, the sales volume will inevitably increase steadily.

But the Yulang Group couldn't enjoy the income brought by the sales at all, because Lin Daoqiu lent Ma Rongcheng to draw comics at that time, so how much "Feng Yun" sold had nothing to do with them.

And at that time, in order to ask Lin Daoqiu to help film "Chinese Heroes", Huang Yulang was even less likely to embarrass the other party in this regard, and the current situation has already been established.

Originally, before the release of "Feng Yun", Xiangjiang's best-selling comic was "Chinese Heroes", but when "Feng Yun" came out, "Chinese Heroes" immediately fell to the No.2 position.

Even when it was released, there was news that "Feng Yun" would be adapted into a movie, which made those book fans and movie fans who like Lin Daoqiu even more delighted.

They all wanted to collect the entire set of "Feng Yun", so the first volume was reprinted with more than a dozen editions, and the supply was in short supply.

Lin Daoqiu is naturally very happy that "Feng Yun" sold well, because this comic does have its excellence.

But for Lin Daoqiu, the biggest problem now is the actors of "Feng Yun".

The original version of Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng found Ekin Cheng and Aaron Kwok to play them.

At this time, Ekin Cheng was only in his early twenties, and he was hosting children's programs and appearing in some TV dramas on TVB.

And Aaron Kwok is also in his 20s at this time. He just joined TVB as an artist last year. Although he graduated No. 1 in the TVB artist training class, his performances were all supporting roles and extras, which did not attract everyone's attention.

It would definitely be inappropriate to ask them to act in "Fengyun" now. Acting skills and age are both big problems.

Unless he directs it himself and teaches them how to act, then Lin Daoqiu may still be able to make the film "Fengyun" well.

But is it really worth it for Lin Daoqiu to invest so much? "Feng Yun" will probably only sell well in Asia.

If you wait a few years, then it is obviously a more suitable time to shoot.

"Forget it, just shoot it, but I have to dig out these two people."

Lin Daoqiu thought about it, Ekin Cheng and Aaron Kwok will be big stars in the Xiangjiang film and television industry in the future, since they will be used in the future, they cannot be allowed to stay in TVB.

After thinking about it, he called Yu Cheng directly.

"Two TVB artists, Ekin Cheng and Aaron Kwok, were recruited by Dongshi as soon as possible. No matter what conditions are offered, they will accept them. Of course, they cannot exceed [-] million yuan."

Lin Daoqiu made this phone call and directly asked Yu Cheng to go to TVB to poach people.

Now he is no longer fit to do it directly, after all, there are so many people below, as long as he gives an order, someone will take care of things immediately.

Yu Teng was a little shocked after receiving the call from Lin Daoqiu. She didn't expect that Lin Daoqiu would make a special call and ask her to go to TVB to dig two people.

Yu Teng has never heard the names of these two people, and it seems that they are not famous people, otherwise she would not know.

Regarding the matter arranged by Lin Daoqiu, Yu Cheng thought about it first, and finally called Zeng Lizhen and invited her to his office.

Zeng Lizhen is the manager of the artists, so he cannot be avoided in matters related to the artists, and it is naturally impossible for Yu Teng to dig people out by himself, so she has become a businessman.

"Is the general manager looking for something for me?"

The relationship between Zeng Lizhen and Yu Teng can be said to be neither good nor bad, at least since Yu Teng came to Dongshi, everyone has been in a state of being as good as they are.

It's just that Zeng Lizhen's network and strength in Dongshi are not so high, and she even faintly looks to keep pace with Yu Teng, the general manager.

Although Yu Teng was mentally prepared before taking over as the general manager of Dongshi, when she really faced this kind of thing, Yu Teng was still a little helpless.

"Mr. Lin just called and asked us to go to TVB to find two people right away."

"Which two?"

Zeng Lizhen was a little curious, who was worthy of asking Lin Daoqiu to make a special trip to call Yu Teng and tell her to go dig someone.

"Ekin Cheng and Aaron Kwok used to be artist managers, so I will leave this matter to you. You should be fine, right?"

"Of course there is no problem. Let me handle this matter. Please rest assured, the general manager. I will get it done as soon as possible."

Zeng Lizhen agreed immediately: "If the general manager has nothing else to do with me, then I'll go back and arrange to deal with it immediately."

Yu Cheng nodded, but she still told the other party: "Mr. Lin said that no matter what conditions are offered, they must be recruited. Of course, the price should not be too high."

Yu Teng didn't tell Zeng Lizhen that Lin Daoqiu's price should not exceed [-] million. She only said that it should not be too high, but did not give an actual amount. It depends on how Zeng Lizhen understands it.

If she didn't recruit Ekin Cheng and Aaron Kwok because of the price, then Lin Daoqiu would definitely be very unhappy.

Back in her office, Zeng Lizhen immediately called Xu Xuming, the deputy manager of the artist department, to her office.

"Ekin Cheng and Aaron Kwok, no matter what price you pay, you must recruit them as soon as possible, and you should immediately go to talk to them."

Zeng Lizhen was concise and concise, explaining the matter clearly in a few words.

Xu Xuming had been with Zeng Lizhen for a while, and he knew that she was not a person who liked to chat, so he immediately nodded and took the matter over.

"Please rest assured that these two people are not popular in TVB in my impression, and it will not be difficult to sign them."

Xu Xuming made a guarantee in front of Zeng Lizhen, so he immediately went back to prepare for poaching.
