Chapter 73 Lao Zou's Efforts
Huang Qiang really didn't understand it. He just read a book "The Punisher of the Song Dynasty" published by Beijing University Press. When he saw that it was written by Liu Hongmin, he opened it After taking a look, I was immediately attracted by the story inside.
The content of "The Criminal Officer of the Song Dynasty" is more serious than that of Shaobao, and it is definitely not as popular as Shaobao in Xiangjiang. However, the story of "The Punisher of the Song Dynasty" is still good, and with Liu Hongmin's reputation, even if it doesn't reach a phenomenal level, it will definitely be a hit.
So, Huang Qiang went straight to the capital as soon as his head became hot.
Now I heard Liu Hongmin say that the filming in the middle stage has been completed. He immediately said goodbye to Liu Hongmin and rushed to the middle stage.
Liu Hongmin thought that after he left, he would never come again, so he was busy helping Ge Chaoguang and others move. As a result, within two days, Huang Qiang came to the door again.
“Brother Qiang, didn’t you buy the broadcast rights?”
“Yes!” Huang Qiang waved his hand and explained: “We just signed the contract, and others can handle the rest. "
Liu Hongmin: "Congratulations to Brother Qiang, you saved a lot of trouble."
Huang Qiang waved his hand, "I just tried it this time. The TV series shot in China is too big. That’s right, it may not be in line with Xiangjiang’s movie-watching habits.”
He changed the topic and said, "No, Brother Liu. You have other novels, why didn't you tell me about them? If I hadn't seen the simplified Chinese version of your book, I wouldn't have known that you wrote "The Punisher of the Song Dynasty"."
Liu Hongmin spread his hands, "You didn't even ask! Besides, "The Punisher of the Song Dynasty" is not suitable for the market in Xiangjiang."
Huang Qiang shook his head, "You're wrong to think that way. . It’s a good novel that Xiangjiang readers recognize. I think you should discuss it with Sanlian Publishing House and publish "The Punisher of the Song Dynasty". "Is it true that anyone will read it?" , which is a bit different from the Xiangjiang in his impression.
"Of course!" Huang Qiang looked at him funny, "You underestimate your reputation in Xiangjiang. Let alone similar novels like "The Punisher of the Song Dynasty" by Shaobao, even if it's you As long as other novels are published, people will definitely read them."
Liu Hongmin suddenly realized that it was the celebrity effect! He thought the tastes of people in Xiangjiang had changed!
But if you put it this way, "The Punisher of the Song Dynasty" seems to be able to sell for some money!
Huang Qiang asked again: "Brother Liu, do you have any other novels?"
Liu Hongmin: "There are two more, one is "My Brothers and Sisters", which is about Four brothers and sisters in a small town in Northeast China. This is totally inappropriate for Xiangjiang, so don’t worry about it. There is also a short story called "The Last Military Expenditure of the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty", which is now being made into a movie by Beijing Film Studio. It is estimated to be 3 or 4. The post-production can be completed in a month and it will be released."
Huang Qiang was a little regretful, "Brother Liu, you need to write more novels! Otherwise, you won't be able to adapt it for us!"
Liu Hongmin couldn't help but laugh, "Brother Qiang, you are relying on me! With so many talents in Hong Kong, can't they even make a TV series?"
"It's not as good as the ones made by our own people." The adaptation of your novel is so popular!”
Huang Qiang said helplessly: “Since the second broadcast of Shaobao, TVB has regained the ratings again, but we have tried many ways, but we can’t beat TVB. Ah! "
RTV and TVB are old rivals. If they can beat TVB, why do they need to find foreign aid?
Liu Hongmin: "I currently have two novels in hand. I haven't started writing "The Ming Dynasty 1566" yet, and I may have to wait until the second half of the year to finish it. The other one is "Bao Qingtian", compared with Shao Bao He said that his suspense is not that high. If you want to adapt it, you need to choose the leading actor. It is okay for Liu Zhirong to play Shaobao, but he cannot play "Bao Qingtian" because he is too thin and lacks dignity."
Huang Qiang was overjoyed when he heard it.
"Really? Brother Liu, this adaptation right must be given to me." "Don't worry, we have cooperated so happily, of course I will give it to you."
Liu Hongmin He patted his chest and promised that he was very happy working with RTV, so there was no reason to join him elsewhere. What's more, he and TVB still have some conflicts. If TVB doesn't pay something, how can Liu Hongmin easily cooperate with them?
After receiving Liu Hongmin’s assurance, Huang Qiang left happily.
Soon, Liu's father and Liu's mother also returned to their hometown. Without a Beijing household registration, they cannot live permanently in the capital. Moreover, spring is about to begin, and they need to get back to work. Liu Hongjun and Liu Hongying also have to go back to school. They have been in the capital for several months, and they have not studied for a day. When school starts, they don't know if they can keep up.
Zou Shifang also rushed back from his hometown, without even arriving at school, and went straight to Liu Hongmin's courtyard house.
He handed a manuscript to Liu Hongmin, "Look, what needs to be changed?"
Liu Hongmin took the manuscript and turned it over roughly, "I wrote it very fast! I wrote it down to the first chapter. Four stories?”
“That’s necessary!” Zou Shifang said proudly.
“Don’t be too happy too early. If your writing is not good, you have to rewrite it.”
“I’m not afraid of rewriting!”
Liu Hongmin holds the manuscript He came to the main table, sat on a chair, and started reading. He only read the first story "The Case of the Guillotine", and I have to say that Zou Shifang still has something. As he said himself, he is familiar with Liu Hongmin's writing style, so the model is very similar.
It’s just that his reasoning ability is poor. It will definitely not work for him to write Shaobao, but it is enough to write "Bao Qingtian".
While comparing it with the TV series in his mind, Liu Hongmin wrote down his revision suggestions. In a short while, I had written three full pages, and there were more than a hundred places that needed to be revised.
When Zou Shifang saw so many revision opinions, not only was he not angry, but he happily snatched it away and read it carefully. These are all shortcomings in his writing. As long as they are corrected, wouldn't he be almost as good as Liu Hongmin?
Liu Hongmin ignored him, tore out the part of "The Case of Guillotine Beauty" from the book and threw it to Zou Shifang. He continued to read the second case "The True and False Number One Scholar", and then wrote some revision opinions.
By the time he finished writing his revision comments, it was already getting dark.
After Liu's father and mother left, the cooking aunt Liu Hongmin hired had already prepared the meal and was serving food to the round table. Ge Chaoguang and the others also came out of the basement and walked into the living room with dejected expressions.
“Are you done?”
Liu Hongmin: “You’re done for now!”
He patted Zou Shifang, who was still concentrating, and said, “Okay, let’s eat first, eat I’m doing it after dinner.”
Zou Shifang stood up with red eyes, and it was obvious how much he cherished this opportunity. After a hurried meal, he said hello to everyone, then took the manuscript and revision comments to the side room to continue revision.
A few days later, he handed the revised manuscript to Liu Hongmin. Because there was not enough space in the manuscript, Zou Shifang put a lot of notes on the manuscript. This was also Liu Hongmin's habit of revising manuscripts.
In the era before computers, revising manuscripts was a very troublesome matter. If you put a note on the manuscript, whether it is modified or deleted, it will be very fast.
