Chapter 71: Outsourcing Qingtian
After making the decision, Liu Hongmin began to go through the plot of undersourcing three in his mind. As a result, Liu Hongmin gave up at the beginning.
The beginning of "Shao Bao San" is simply eye-catching. Bao Qingtian not only lost his memory, but also ran into a J Courtyard in a border town and became a Gong. This is simply nonsense. If Liu Hongmin wrote this, he would probably be sent razor blades by the audience in Xiangjiang. This is much more serious than Mr. Jin Yong's plot about Xiao Longnu being raped. Unless he doesn't want to go to Xiangjiang anymore, this plot must not be written.
Got it! It’s okay if you don’t write such a small guarantee!
Without Bao San, Liu Hongmin could still write Bao Qingtian. "Bao Qingtian" filmed more than 200 episodes, enough for Liu Hongmin to write for several years.
"Bao Qingtian" is not as good as Shao Bao in terms of reasoning, so it will be written faster. Liu Hongmin still planned to write seven stories in the first part, namely, the case of the guillotine, the true and false number one scholar, the civet cat for the prince, the story of the double nails, the exploration of Yinshan, the story of the red flower, and the guillotine of Pang Yu.
After writing the outline of these seven stories, Liu Hongmin felt a little uninterested. "Bao Qingtian" is really not challenging for him, and it focuses more on filming TV series. If it is published as a book, it will definitely not be less successful.
It happened that Zou Shifang came to the courtyard that day, chatted with Liu's father and Liu's mother for a few words, and then entered Liu Hongmin's study. Seeing Liu Hongmin staring at the outline, he couldn't help but feel strange.
"Why are you still posting? Haven't you already written the outline?"
Liu Hongmin sighed, "The main reason is that it's not challenging and writing is not interesting."
After three consecutive years of intense writing, Liu Hongmin temporarily entered a period of exhaustion. Without some stimulation, it would be difficult for him to think about writing. "The Ming Dynasty 1566" has not yet been written, and it is precisely for this reason.
When Zou Shifang heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, "Would you like to write it for me?"
"You write it?" Liu Hongmin was stunned for a moment, isn't this a ghostwriter?
Zou Shifang said: "When you wrote Shaobao, I read almost every stage of the manuscript and knew your creative habits. Moreover, after I finished writing, I showed it to you and you guided me to revise it. , until it gets better.”
He wants nothing more than to learn Liu Hongmin’s novel writing skills. If he succeeds, he can still become a writer even if he is not as good as Liu Hongmin.
Ten years ago, he was dealing with words when he was working. Starting in 1974, he began to publish works. But after all these years, he still hasn't made a splash in the literary world. Otherwise, how could he have followed Liu Hongmin and helped him with chores all these years?
Liu Hongmin thought for a while, "No problem, you give yourself a pen name. When the article is published, you will use this pen name. I will not treat you badly. "Bao Qingtian" will still be on the Published in Ming Pao, the royalties will go to you, but the rights to adapt the film and television series and the book publishing rights will belong to me."
Zou Shifang nodded happily, "No problem!"
He didn't want it at first. After all, he learned Liu Hongmin's writing skills. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise. He is very familiar with Ming Pao's remuneration. The lowest is HKD 10 for 1,000 words, and the highest is HKD 80 for 1,000 words. Even if his writing is not good, but Liu Hongmin is there to check it, how can he still get a remuneration of thirty or forty Hong Kong dollars for one thousand words, right?
The seven stories of "Bao Qingtian" can be written with almost the same number of words as Shao Bao Yi. After writing, I can have at least 20,000 Hong Kong dollars! At the current exchange rate, it is about 14,000 yuan!
All of a sudden, the household is worth 10,000 yuan!
Liu Hongmin wrote a contract and asked Ma Weidu and Ge Chaoguang to be witnesses. In this way, Liu Hongmin outsourced "Bao Qingtian" to Zou Shifang.
Ma Weidu was very envious, but it also made him more determined to hang out with Liu Hongmin. Zou Shifang and Liu Hongmin have been working together for three years and have hopes of becoming writers. They will both earn foreign exchange in the future. So did he also have such an opportunity when he and Liu Hongmin were together for three years? Liu Hongmin did not neglect Ma Weidu. He left the matter of buying a house nearby to Ma Weidu.
The inspired Ma Weidu was very serious. Every time he came to Liu Hongmin to buy something, he would spend half a day shopping around to find out who was selling the house. Not to mention, he really found a two-story courtyard house.
Due to job transfers, this family will leave the capital after the New Year. So I want to sell the house and live elsewhere in the future.
Liu Hongmin took a look at the condition of the house and found that it was well preserved because someone lived in it. As soon as the family moves out, they can move in immediately. Liu Hongmin was very satisfied with this. As soon as the bedding was purchased, Ge Chaoguang and the others moved in directly.
What makes Liu Hongmin even more satisfied is that this courtyard is at the entrance of the alley, less than fifty meters away from the courtyard where Liu Hongmin currently lives. This two-in-one courtyard covers an area of 400 to 500 square meters. It is next to a highway and can be used to build an underground parking lot. In the future, after Liu Hongmin buys a car, he can park it directly in the underground parking lot at the second entrance to the courtyard.
The homeowner wanted 20,000 yuan, but Liu Hongmin didn’t make much of a counteroffer. If you miss this kind of courtyard house, it will be difficult to buy it again.
After signing the contract, Liu Hongmin turned his attention to the third courtyard between the two courtyards. If he can capture this quadrangle, he can open up the three quadrangles, which will be more convenient after being connected into one.
Unfortunately, the owner of the courtyard had no intention of selling the house.
So, Liu Hongmin thought of a curved way to save the country. He asked Ma Weidu to continue to pay attention to the surrounding courtyard houses, and if he bought a suitable one, he would exchange houses with this family.
Liu Hongmin worked really hard to win the courtyard in the middle!
The weather is getting colder and the ice in Shichahai is getting thicker and thicker. Liu Hongmin took her younger siblings to play on the ice, while her parents were preparing New Year's goods.
After so many years, the family has never had such a prosperous year. If there weren't so many tickets, Liu's father and Liu's mother might have bought enough food for a year.
The main reason is that Ge Chaoguang and the others are also celebrating the New Year at home this year. The food consumed by more than ten people every day is not a small amount. Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Liu's father and Liu's mother to buy more food. It’s just that I bought a little too much.
There is another reason for this.
After leaving the countryside, Liu's father and Liu's mother felt an inexplicable sense of crisis, fearing that one day they would not have enough food to eat.
This situation was very common in the 1980s.
It’s just that others are experiencing crises caused by the country’s price adjustments. But Liu's father and Liu's mother were frightened by hunger, and felt uncertain because there was no food at home.
Liu Hongmin persuaded him several times and stopped stopping him. Anyway, I can put it away at home, and it is consumed very quickly, so it won’t last long.
