Chapter 88 "The Ming Dynasty" was published
At seven or eight o'clock in Xiangjiang, the commercial streets were much deserted, with only a few young people wandering around on the streets.
The store owners all hate RTV. The broadcast time of "Bao Qingtian" is when Hong Kong is the most deserted, and people all stay at home and watch TV. Even those who were running errands outside and couldn't get home still went to nearby restaurants, ordered something, and watched the TV in the restaurant.
The whole of Xiangjiang was caught up in Bao Qingtian's craze. Even more people went to the Third Prince Temple to offer incense. It was even rare that the number of incense offered by the accompanying worshippers exceeded that of the main worshipper.
The craze of "Bao Qingtian" made Green Island greedy. They quickly negotiated the introduction conditions with Huang Qiang and directly purchased the broadcast rights for 10 million Hong Kong dollars. I'm just waiting for it to be played on Green Island after dubbing.
Southeast Asia and other regions have also purchased copyrights. They all want to copy the craze of "Bao Qingtian" in order to earn advertising fees.
The good news came from Xiangjiang. Xu Xiaoming was in high spirits during happy events and was in high spirits on the set. The success of "Bao Qingtian" made him a popular director in Hong Kong. If he cooperates with Liu Hongmin now, he has the confidence to take 20% of the shares, or even more.
However, Xu Xiaoming has no intention of going back on his word. Liu Hongmin is indispensable for his current status. If it weren't for Shaobao and "Bao Qingtian", he would be just a slightly famous director. There are many such directors in Hong Kong.
If the director is in a good mood, the whole crew will be in a good mood. Even if something is wrong, it can be resolved peacefully. The people sent by Beijing Film Studio this time are all elites. As long as the communication is clear, they can do a good job.
The crew is not without conflicts. The huge gap in treatment between the two places has left many people feeling unbalanced. However, Liu Hongmin is not as stupid as the crew of "Shaolin Temple", and even treats them differently when eating. He provides good food and drinks to the people of Jingying Film Studio, and his salary is twice that of Jingying Film Studio. If these people find trouble again, then he will have no choice but to ask Lin Yong to replace them.
After the Gemini stars got their acting skills on track, it only took half a month to complete the filming of all the scenes. The Big Three took the crew back to Xiangjiang to shoot scenes in Xiangjiang.
Before Zou Shifang left, he used his royalties to buy a two-story courtyard house in Shichahai. Then I applied for a household registration for my family in the name of visiting relatives. However, there were still many procedures to be completed, so he left them all to Liu Hongmin.
Liu Hongmin handed over this matter and the final work of Zou Shifang's purchase of the courtyard to Ma Weidu.
He returned to the guest house and began to revise the manuscript in retreat. After nearly a month of delay, the progress of revising the manuscript must be accelerated.
He Qizhi found two editors to help him review the manuscript, which made him revise the manuscript much faster. In mid-November, the manuscript was finally revised.
At the end of November, He Qizhi came to visit him again and sent him the royalties.
""The Ming Dynasty 1566" will be published in the sixth issue and the first issue next year."
Liu Hongmin took the payment slip and signed it.
Seeing his indifferent expression, He Qizhi couldn't help but ask: "This is your best novel."
Liu Hongmin: "My best novel is the next one."< br>
"Ahem!"
He Qizhi coughed violently, he was caught.
Liu Hongmin returned the receipt to He Qizhi, "Don't be so excited. Whether it's good or not depends on the readers' comments after publication. It doesn't matter what we say."
"That's true. , but this is a novel - oh, this is not the first time you have published a novel."
He Qizhi then remembered that although "Da Ming" was Liu Hongmin's first article published in "Contemporary". A novel, but not his first novel.
However, He Qizhi always subconsciously ignored the two previous novels. "Shaobao 2" is very famous in Hong Kong, so it's normal that mainlanders don't know much about it. But "Da Song" is quite famous! It was also very popular after being adapted into a TV series. It was only after He Qizhi read "The Song Dynasty" that he decided to ask Liu Hongmin to compile the manuscript. The reason why he subconsciously ignored "Da Song" was that "Da Ming" was written so well.
This is not what he thinks, but what the entire "Contemporary" editorial department thinks.
The editors believe that Liu Hongmin was a complete waste of talent before. See what he wrote before? "Shaobao"? "My Brothers and Sisters"? They even looked down upon "The Song Dynasty", only "The Tang Dynasty" was pretty good.
However, compared with "Da Ming", these novels have to stand aside.
After sending He Qizhi away, Liu Hongmin went to find Ma Weidu with the remittance slip. During this year, Ma Weidu helped Liu Hongmin buy a lot of antiques. Now the entire antique industry in the capital knows that Liu Hongmin likes to collect ancient books and is generous with them. Many people who want to sell ancient books will take the initiative to contact Ma Weidu, who has become a celebrity in the antique world.
This time another five thousand yuan came in, and Liu Hongmin had to exchange it for antiques.
"What's going on with the old Zou family's house over there?"
The family who sold it to Zou Shifang's courtyard house had just moved out, so Liu Hongmin spent his own money to help Zou Shifang decorate it. . Although it costs a little money, as long as it can win Zou Shifang's heart, it is better than anything else.
“It’s not even close.” Ma Weidu said, “But it will be done in mid-December. During this period, I will find someone to light the boiler and remove the moisture, and wait for Lao Zou’s parents to come over. Go in."
Liu Hongmin nodded, "Be sure to pay attention to the time."
"I will keep an eye on it!"
Ma Weidu quickly promised.
Early in the morning on December 15, after having breakfast, Ma Weidu went to a nearby bookstore.
"Get a copy of "Contemporary"."
"I want one too."
There are already many people in the bookstore, all buying magazines. They all seem to be young and artistic people. In a short time, seven or eight copies of "Contemporary" were sold.
Ma Weidu also bought a copy and immediately saw the words Liu Hongmin’s new work "The Ming Dynasty 1566" written on the cover. He often goes to the courtyard house, and he has long heard from Ge Chaoguang and others that Liu Hongmin's novel this time is extraordinary. I turned to the location of the novel according to the table of contents, and walked towards the courtyard while reading.
But as he was walking, he stopped, sat on the curb, and watched with concentration.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly a hand stretched out, "Don’t turn over yet, I haven’t finished reading yet!"
Ma Weidu was startled and turned to look. When he went, he saw a stranger bending down and standing behind him.
The man said with a smile: "I just saw you reading and listening in rapt attention, so I came over curiously to take a look. I didn't expect that this novel is so beautiful."
Ma Weidu Song He took a breath and said, "Sorry, I have something to do. If you really want to read it, you can buy a copy of "Contemporary"."
The man smiled shyly, "You are busy with your business. I’m going to work too.”
