857. Chapter 857 Game 857 Talent is the foundation

Seeing Zeng Zhiwei raise his hand, the senior executives of TVB were stunned. No one expected that they would arrange for Li Xiaole to beside Li Xiaole, the film elder brother who would be restraining him in the future would actually stand on Li Xiaole's side.

"Zhiwei, tell me the reason for your support." Shaoyifu's expression was not at all surprised on his face, but with that usual smile, he seemed not angry at Zeng Zhiwei's turnaround.

"Because this drama is worth it." Zeng Zhiwei straightened his not-so-high body and shouted: "Uncle Six, everyone here is full of senior executives of TVB for decades. You may not know much about filming, but I understand. This drama is definitely not just as good as you think, but it is hundreds of times better than you think. Even American TV series is not so good. Unless someone is willing to make "Lord of the Rings" into a TV series, I don't think there will be any TV series that can surpass this "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in the past decade."

There was silence and dissatisfaction at the scene... They didn't understand why the old world like Zeng Zhiwei helped Li Xiaole to sing high-profile at this time? Could it be that he was crazy to think that this Chinese film could be sold well in the United States? If Li Xiaole only filmed one and then stopped, then TVB would not suffer a loss. You should know that Li Xiaole's ibox has been sold well now, and his focus does not need to be on the series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"... And even if he can film, it is hard to guarantee that he will not delay until next year, the year after that, after all, he is a director and producer. After a long time, these celebrity actors can still have time to cooperate? Then, they can only be unrecognizable. To put it bluntly, the initiative is now in the hands of Li Xiaole.

Shao Yifu nodded without answering, and asked Zeng Zhiwei: "What do you think of Wei Zai and the others?"

"All actors believe in Director Lee." Zeng Zhiwei replied solemnly.

"Yeah." Shao Yifu suddenly laughed and waved his hand, "Since you are all ready, let go and do it well."

The audience was suddenly in an uproar, and even Shaoyifu's wife Fang Yihua anxiously dissuaded: "Yifu, you might as well consider it more. This drama is too important to our TVB, so you should be more cautious."

"Hey~~" Shao Yifu, who was sitting in a wheelchair, waved his hand slowly, showing a long-lost and bold smile: "What's the point of fear? If Director Li only shoots one movie and is afraid of losing money, then we will invest in the last two movies by ourselves. In order to promote our Chinese dramas, Director Li is willing to invest over 100 million US dollars in this drama at a young age. However, he said, "I, Shao, still don't want to let my family business go, and we will take over it at that time. Even if we can't continue to play in the United States, we will have to finish the filming of this drama."

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned and immediately realized what the godfather of the Hong Kong film industry wanted to do. Although he did not believe that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" could succeed in the United States, he firmly believed that this series would become a classic in Asia. Even if he could not make up for the money for the time being, this series could be played repeatedly like "Journey to the West", "The Three Kingdoms Performing Arts" and "The New Legend of the White Snake". In the long run, TVB should be able to recover the huge costs of the last two movies.

Li Xiaole also raised his eyebrows when he heard this. The old man really has a unique vision and is indescribable. This means that if the first part of The Legend of the Condor Heroes failed to play in North America, then after TVB took over the filming of "East Evil and West Poison" and "Huashan Sword Contest", it would naturally take away the copyright. TVB could make a long-term investment this time.

It's such a meticulous thought. It's a test of whether I really have confidence. Although I'm famous, after all, I'm really confident or too crazy to expand myself for the first time with TVB. Shao Yifu couldn't tell whether he was really confident or too crazy. This move did make TVB go forward and retreat. Li Xiaole couldn't help but admire him secretly. This old man was also amazingly courageous. With such internal and external troubles, TVB dared to take over the last two films of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, which cost over 100 million US dollars. Only this godfather of the Hong Kong film industry has such a heroic spirit.

"Okay, just follow the instructions of Uncle Six." Li Xiaole also smiled and looked around TVB and said calmly: "If the US ratings fail, TVB will take over the last two movies of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". I will follow the instructions. We can draw up additional terms immediately and sign the contract as soon as possible."

"Minister Xu, your legal department will contact the relevant departments of the Black Pearl Company to formulate a contract." Shao Yifu also pointed at a supervisor with a smile and ordered.

Everyone on the scene, including Fang Yihua and Zeng Zhiwei, was brought to the scene by the two big figures in the Chinese film industry, the old and the young, and their decisive style. This kind of interest is related to hundreds of millions of dollars, and you can decide with just one word...

The meeting ended like this. Everyone on TVB and several supervisors of Black Pearl Company looked at me, and I looked at you and smiled bitterly. I really don’t understand why these two people competed for a drama that would definitely not be able to make ends meet... Now everyone is the same, that is, they really hope that the first four episodes of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" can get 8 million viewers in North America... In this way, Black Pearl Company doesn’t have to worry about the indifference of the early investment, and TVB doesn’t have to worry about taking over this hot potato.

After the meeting, Li Xiaole and Zeng Zhiwei drove back to the hotel. Zeng Zhiwei looked at the backward scenery outside the window, with a confused face, and turned to ask Li Xiaole: "I don't understand why Uncle Six promised to take on the last two films? If you can't make enough profit in North America, even in the long run, there is a great hope of making money in this drama. However, with the current situation of TVB, I am afraid that the investment will be too dangerous this time... 120 million US dollars... This is the total investment of TVB for several years. Uncle Six's bet was too big, and it really doesn't look like his style..."

Although Shao Yifu is worth over 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, most of it is held by TVB and film and television companies, so he cannot afford to spend much cash. Moreover, if "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is removed from the shelves in North America, TVB's forced share price will definitely be affected.

"Do you think Uncle Six still cares about money?" Li Xiaole faced the breeze and plucked the blown bangs and smiled: "Uncle Six sees that you actors all recognize this drama so much. Once I don't invest, he will transfer it. So the actors involved in this "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will be sincerely grateful to him. Even if you lose more money, as long as these Hong Kong actors are on TVB, Tvb will always stand tall. Compared to people's hearts, what is money..." Li Xiaole couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, Uncle Six can see far..."

"So that's it..." Zeng Zhiwei understood, and then he realized Shao Yifu's far-sighted vision in his heart. He couldn't help but look at Li Xiaole and asked, "Then do you agree to him?"

"Ha." Li Xiaole smiled confidently and said, "If I had brought all Hong Kong elites with hundreds of millions of investments, coupled with the hype of Apple's new products, and the dubbing lineup of so many Hollywood friends, and still not getting 8 million viewing population in the United States, would I still deserve to have the copyright of this series?"

This bet has no entanglement about actual interests for Li Xiaole. More importantly, his pride as a director. He has achieved such great success in the United States. It can be said that it combines reputation, reputation, money and a combination of all. If he cannot bring the culture of his own country to the world stage like Peter Jackson, then what is the point of his climb to this point today?

Men should have a goal of believing in the world. Li Xiaole has experienced ups and downs in this circle, and has been blessed by so many predecessors and so many classic works. At this moment, it is the time for him to open up a new chapter of his own~~

When the hot summer temperatures fade, the movie craze in the summer season also fades. Students return to school. The climate in eastern North America is getting cooler. The squeaking autumn wind makes people no longer want to go outdoors. Whether men, women, young and old, after going home for supper, they will choose TV as their best way to entertain themselves. Various exciting dramas and exciting and intense football games can accompany them to spend a relaxing evening.

After 8pm on Monday, the prime time officially began, which was a pleasant evening for the audience, but for millions of TV people in North America, it was a painful beginning, because from the moment the clock pointed to 8pm, they were involved in a cruel and outrageous war...

The same period last year, Li Xiaole swept across the TV battlefield with a bunch of zombies, and now he is back. This time he does not bring the third season of "The Walking Dead", but brings a new series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" by a group of Chinese knights.

In the eyes of people in all industries, this film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" filmed by a Chinese team is very special, so special that you think that as long as more than one million people watch it, you will feel that it has achieved great success... The estimated number of expected viewing population of more than 2 million makes everyone dare not underestimate him, but they will not pay much attention to him because he chose to broadcast it on Monday when the competition for American dramas is the cruelest Monday, and it is broadcast on two episodes and two broadcasts. This also means that the opponent he faces is the two ace series "The Big Bang Them" and "Crime Scene Investigation" of CBS TV, which both have a viewing population of over 15 million.

CBS and Pirates are veritable enemies. This time, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was arranged to show up with the two viewing kings on Monday, which was beyond everyone's expectations...
