“Regarding the adaptation rights, it’s negotiable. As long as Director Xu can produce an adaptation script that satisfies me, not only will the 30 million yuan not be required, but Tianxing Entertainment will also invest in filming this movie!”
Su Yu said with a smile, giving Xu Ke and Wang Nansheng a surprising answer.
They weren't surprised that Tianxing Entertainment wanted to lead this project, because Tianxing Entertainment's projects were almost never outsourced.
What surprised them was that Su Yu could actually represent the author, Gu Zhou Suo Li Weng, and discuss waiving the adaptation rights fee.
One must know that even for a martial arts master like Gu Zhou Suo Li Weng, he only has these few works.
They didn't know how much Tianxing Entertainment paid for the previous TV series adaptation rights, but the first adaptation rights were always the most expensive.
If Su Yu said no, then Gu Zhou Suo Li Weng's loss would be too great.
And Shengshi Fenghua Website would also suffer a similar loss.
But what about it? At this moment, Chief Editor Wu Yue also remained silent, as if it wasn't the website's interests that were being lost.
“This, I want to bring in a few entertainment companies from Hong Kong to produce it together, and I also want to select the main actors from Hong Kong!”
When discussing business, Xu Ke naturally wanted to test Tianxing Entertainment's bottom line.
If they could agree to this, then this collaboration would be very comfortable for him.
“Are there suitable young actors in Hong Kong now? If that’s the case, I’m very pessimistic about the prospects of this movie. Even if the script is adapted well, there’s no need to discuss it further.”
Su Yu looked at him, and one sentence left Xu Ke speechless.
Are there suitable young actors in Hong Kong now? The answer is no!
“Su Zongjian, if you are willing, you can absolutely play Linghu Chong! If the protagonist is set, then other choices will be easy!”
Wang Nansheng saw Xu Ke in a predicament and added a remark to salvage the situation.
She had seen Su Yu play Yang Guo, and he was simply too handsome for words.
Moreover, Su Yu's popularity was extraordinarily high; even if the script was terrible, as long as Su Yu was willing to star, the box office would definitely be guaranteed.
Su Yu glanced at Wang Nansheng without answering her, but looked at Xu Ke: “I understand your desire to help Hong Kong cinema, but being generous with others’ resources is not very polite! I don’t want my work to be ruined like this! Let’s talk after you produce a script that satisfies me.”
Su Yu was quite looking forward to this collaboration, but today's Xu Ke disappointed him a bit.
After speaking, Su Yu directly got up and left amidst the surprise of the others, leaving Ren Nanbei and Wu Yue with awkward smiles.
At this moment, Xu Ke and Wang Nansheng's minds were buzzing.
It wasn't Su Yu's arrogant departure, but rather his words: “I don’t want my work to be ruined like this!”
His work? Was "xiao ao jianghu" written by Su Yu?!
Then wouldn't that be...
Upon learning the truth, the Xu Ke couple shed tears.
It turned out that Su Yu was the martial arts novel master, Gu Zhou Suo Li Weng!
No wonder he wanted to "fish alone in the cold Jiang Xue"!
Damn it, if Xu Ke had known this truth earlier, why would he have tested Su Yu's bottom line?
He should have just let Su Yu do the adaptation himself, and he would have gladly been a tool actor director.
“Teacher Su Yu, is he really?” Wang Nansheng looked at Wu Yue in shock, her voice much hoarser.
Wu Yue nodded helplessly, then feeling it wasn't quite enough, he added, “He is also the third largest shareholder of our Shengshi Fenghua Website!”
That's right, Su Yu now held 10% of Shengshi Fenghua's shares, only lower than the founder's 38% and Tianxing Entertainment's 25%.
“Su Zong also happens to be one of our major shareholders at Tianxing; his attitude can completely represent the attitude of Tianxing Entertainment.”
Ren Nanbei, who had watched a good show, quickly added another remark.
He had clearly heard Xu Ke's "Su Zongjian" at the beginning.
He felt that Director Xu Ke's connections in Hong Kong weren't that great; he didn't even know Su Yu's identity?
These so-called great directors truly aren't highly regarded in the eyes of capital.
Xu Ke's "The Taking of Tiger Mountain" this time was a collaboration with Starlight and Ocean Entertainment companies. If these two companies truly valued Xu Ke, it would be impossible for them not to tell him Su Yu's true identity.
Otherwise, Xu Ke wouldn't have stumbled in blindly like this.
Perhaps they didn't want Xu Ke to befriend Tianxing Entertainment? Perhaps.
The Xu Ke couple left feeling a bit dazed, even feeling a cold sweat on their backs.
Because they were frightened.
It's no exaggeration to say that if they had offended Su Yu today, then Xu Ke wouldn't have to think about making a living in the mainland.
Su Yu's public identity might not be able to do anything to him, but what about his identity as a shareholder of Tianxing Entertainment?
Su Yu was actually capital! This news was even more shocking than knowing Su Yu was his idol, Master Gu Zhou Suo Li Weng.
“What should we do?” After getting into the car and leaving Tianxing Entertainment's underground parking lot, Wang Nansheng asked with lingering fear.
“What can we do? Go back and read the novel a few more times, then write a script that satisfies Master Su Yu!”
Xu Ke suppressed his lingering fear and answered in a deep voice.
At least Su Yu didn't want to completely shut him down today, but rather told him to write a good script before discussing it further.
This was a turning point.
If Su Yu had truly just turned and left, then even if Su Yu himself didn't care, Tianxing Entertainment wouldn't pretend to ignore it.
“I'll go talk to Ye Mei when we get back. She has collaborated with Su Yu many times, and I hear her relationship with Han Jiangxue is also very good, so she should know more!”
Wang Nansheng also calmed down, and then thought of a way to remedy the situation.
This meeting could be a crisis for them, but even more, it could be a huge opportunity!
...
After meeting Xu Ke, Su Yu took his people to the airport; tomorrow was the 19th competition in Milan.
The singer representing Su Yu in this battle was actually Liu Ruyan, which surprised overseas audiences and netizens.
And the song Su Yu gave Liu Ruyan this time was "Tu vivi nell'aria," an Italian dance song!
This ignited the entire Milan station on the night of the 11th, turning it into a large dance hall with tens of thousands of people.
It even overshadowed Carlo, who had the home-field advantage.
It was as if this wasn't Milan at all, not his home turf, but Su Yu's, Liu Ruyan's!
There was no need to draw for the next home-field this round, because only the final US station remained.
And the last regular season match was set in Los Angeles.
Su Yu was very satisfied with this host city location, as it wouldn't delay him from holding the premiere for his movie there.
On the 12th, all post-production for the movie was completed, and on the 13th, the movie quickly passed censorship.
On the 14th, the movie title that Su Yu and Stewart had stubbornly insisted on was revealed to Blue Star audiences and netizens for the first time.
"this man comes from blue star"? What the hell is that!
However, this movie, which went from project initiation to filming to release in less than a month, truly captured everyone's attention.
The most bizarre thing was that, in terms of theater scheduling comparisons across various countries, "this man comes from blue star" was not much lower than "demon slayer"!
