The next day, Zhang Qiurui dominated the headlines in Hong Kong, dominating the major media outlets. Whether in newspapers or on television, Zhang Qiurui's name and photo were everywhere.
[Surprise! The director of the Sea of Stars is Zhang Qiurui.]
[We don't understand the world of geniuses. Who are the big names in the film, television, and music industries?]
[Unveiling the secrets of Zhang Qiurui: A magnificent transition from music to film]
With the exposure of Zhang Qiurui's identity, the entire entertainment industry was shocked.
Zhang Qiurui's growth experience has also become the focus of Hong Kong reporters.
The more you dig into Zhang Qiurui's past, the more amazing it is. Although he did not come from an artistic family, he was able to achieve such brilliant achievements in both the music and film industries in such a short period of time.
Apart from being gifted and talented, I'm afraid there is no other reason.
However, the outside uproar did not seem to affect Zhang Qiurui himself, and he rejected all media interview invitations.
At the same time, Zhang Qiurui was meeting with other judges of the first Academy Awards to discuss and finalize the list of winners for the first Academy Awards.
This time, in addition to Zhang Qiurui, the chairman of the Academy Awards, the other six members are Mr. Cha, Hong Jingbao, Huang Nian, Shao Yifu, Zheng Guojiang, and Ni Kuang.
The originally chosen person was not available for various reasons, so the substitutes Hong Jingbao and Shao Yifu took over.
"Director Zhang didn't expect that you are not only a movie director, but also a famous lyricist and composer in Hong Kong. You are really young and promising, which is admirable!" Shao Yifu said with a complicated expression on his face after seeing Zhang Qiurui.
Shao Yifu also knew about Zhang Qiurui's rise to wealth. He did not expect that in just less than three years, he not only opened a film company in Hong Kong, but also got involved in the music field, created many popular songs, and became a hot songwriter in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Less than two years after the film company opened, its directors shot nearly ten films a year, and the profits were equivalent to half of Shaw Brothers' income.
Shao Yifu secretly sighed in his heart that the young man in front of him was not only talented, but also had an extraordinary business acumen.
"Not only that, he's also a writer on par with the Four Great Talents of Hong Kong. There's a saying in Hong Kong now: Four Talents and Two Kings.
The two kings are Xiaoxiang Qingkong from the mainland and the world's number one. "At this time, Mr. Cha added with a smile.
"Mr. Cha, it's nice to meet you. I really like your martial arts novels, especially The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
"Mr. Cha, can I buy the copyright of your novel and film it into a TV series?" Zhang Qiurui asked with her eyes slightly shining when she saw Mr. Cha.
"Director Zhang, don't you know? I've sold all the TV rights to my novels to Mr. Shao." Mr. Cha said after looking at Shao Yifu.
Mr. Cha's earliest novel was adapted into a movie in 1958. Director Hu Peng teamed up with Emei Film Company to launch a two-part Cantonese feature film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which opened the era of Jin Yong IP adaptation.
After that, in 1976, Hong Kong ATV launched the TV series The Legend of the Condor Heroes, which was the first TV series in Hong Kong TV history adapted from Jin Yong's novels.
At that time, Shao Yifu was not optimistic about Mr. Cha's novels being made into TV series. However, after seeing the 1976 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" produced by Jiayi became a hit, Shao Yifu bought out the film and television adaptation rights of all of Mr. Cha's medium and long novels in order to compete for ratings.
Zhang Qiurui also knew about this, but when she wanted to buy the film and television adaptation rights for Mr. Cha's novel, she was not looking to buy the Hong Kong film and television adaptation rights, but the mainland film and television adaptation rights.
When Shao Yifu, who was standing next to him, heard what Zhang Qiurui said, his eyes flashed slightly and he glanced at Zhang Qiurui.
“I know about this.
"But the film and television adaptation rights I bought from Mr. Cha's novel are for mainland China. Doesn't this conflict with the Hong Kong film and television adaptation rights Mr. Shao bought?" Zhang Qiurui asked with a smile.
"There is no conflict, but what is the situation in the mainland? It seems that there has been no precedent for filming a TV series here? Director Zhang, are you sure you want to buy it?" Mr. Cha asked with a look of inquiry and thought.
“Things are getting better and better in mainland China. Just because we can’t film now doesn’t mean we can’t film in the future.
Mr. Cha's novels are also very popular in mainland China and are part of the youth memories of a generation. If we buy them now, we can film them later without any problems. "Zhang Qiurui explained with a smile.
In later generations, Zhang Jizhong filmed TV series adapted from several of Mr. Cha's novels. He started his career with Jin Yong's dramas, reaped the benefits, and made a lot of money.
"Okay, I'll have the company's legal department contact you then.
The price will be the same as what Mr. Shao paid for it: 100,000 yuan per unit, with a 30-year validity period. After the expiration date, you will have priority to renew the contract. "When Mr. Cha heard Zhang Qiurui say this, he readily agreed.
The Hong Kong film and television adaptation rights have been sold, so the mainland is not a big deal. What's more, he can make more money. How could Mr. Cha be unwilling?
"I'm sorry, everyone, I'm late. I'll treat you all after the meeting." At this time, Hong Jingbao pushed the door open and came in, clasped his hands together and bowed to Zhang Qiuyu and his group.
"Big Brother, we just got here not long ago. Please take a seat. We will now start discussing all the awards for the first Academy Awards.
The first award, Best Visual Effects, has five nominees, including "Mr. Vampire"... Zhang Qiurui, chairperson of the jury, opened the discussion.
"The Best Sound Effects Award has been decided..."
"The Best Costume Design Award has been announced..."
