Chapter 125 "White Night Journey" completed
In early March, Wang Yaowei arrived in the capital.
"The mold factory that Pengcheng helped us contact is here in Beijing."
"Wait for me!"
Liu Hongmin will send Optimus Prime, Models of Megatron, Soundwave, Ratchet, and Starscream were taken out and placed on the table.
Wang Yaowei looked at these models with disbelief on his face.
“Tsk, if I hadn’t heard you tell me, I wouldn’t have believed this was handmade.”
“Be careful when you ask them to make the mold, don’t break it. . When Transformers become famous all over the world, you should know exactly how much these prototype toys will be worth!"
Wang Yaowei nodded, "Don't worry, I will keep watching them get the molds ready. After that, I will send it back to you.”
“When will you return to Xiangjiang?”
"It may take more than a month!" Wang Yaowei wrapped up the five Transformers. "Mold production takes time, and I still need to go to Pengcheng to run the factory."
"That's right!" Liu Hongmin nodded. , "Then I'd better call Lao Zou and ask Sanlian to come over and pick up the manuscript."
Wang Yaowei: "Have you finished writing "White Night Journey"?"
"Just finished it. "
Liu Hongmin was busy with the election during the day and writing "White Night Journey" at night. He was very busy.
He has only watched the Southern Dynasties version of "White Night Journey", mainly because of Sun Yizhen. This version of "White Night Journey" has a lot of bad reviews. For example, Sun Yizhen plays a junior high school student. The concept of love in the play is a very serious problem.
These are not problems for Liu Hongmin. He is already a mature author, and there is no problem in revising his view of love.
As for Sun Yizhen’s age, don’t worry about it at all. This is a novel. If you can see Sun Yizhen's appearance in it... I think you are awesome!
The background of the story is still in Hong Kong, and the starting year is set as 1969. At that time, Xiangjiang was very chaotic, and it was not unusual for anything to happen. Not to mention the death of an individual, even fights between groups are common.
After the male and female protagonists kill someone, they will fake it, and they will be deemed by the police to have died in a fight or robbery. Coupled with the time when the case occurred, a lot of evidence was missing, making the investigation difficult.
However, the police still focused on the heroine based on eyewitness accounts.
Witnesses said that before the death of the male protagonist’s father, they saw the female protagonist and the male protagonist’s father entering the abandoned building together.
The police began to investigate the heroine, and then something bizarre happened. Over the next ten years or so, relatives and friends around the hero and heroine were killed one after another. Because the heroine has an alibi, she can always escape the suspicion of the police.
Until 1983, the police had some clues about the death of the heroine's mother and her mother's lover, and once again focused on the heroine.
At this time, the male protagonist stepped forward and led these clues to himself, and then committed suicide during the police pursuit.
Before his death, he left a suicide note in which he confessed all his crimes. First, he accidentally killed his father, then he killed the heroine's mother and her lover. Later, in order to avoid the police's investigation, he killed his relatives and friends one after another.
Through this suicide note, the police once again gave up the pursuit of the heroine. After reading the suicide note, the heroine left without any expression.
After leaving the police station, she showed a look of relief. This ending implies that except for the manslaughter of the male protagonist's father, the male protagonist's other crimes were all committed under her suggestion. The purpose is to get rid of all the people who know that she was forced to sell her body by her mother, and the male protagonist is the last one.
This kind of terrifying setting will become the biggest feature of "White Night Walk".
Of course, Liu Hongmin is also paving the way for "Chinatown Detective" in advance. As long as "White Night" becomes popular and "Chinatown" is labeled as an adaptation of "White Night", it will attract some book fans to enter the theater and contribute to the box office of "Chinatown".
As for how much box office "Chinatown Detective" can get, it depends on how well Xu Xiaoming and the others filmed it.
There are several key characters in this movie. Not to mention the detective duo as the protagonists, the choice of the murderers Lee and Snow is also very important.
Xu Xiaoming cast Ren Dahua, a former model, to play the role of Li. Although it was his first time acting, he was said to have performed well.
Snow’s candidate is Li Lizhen, who also received an invitation from New City. However, the salary offered by the film company tomorrow is higher, three times that of Xin Yicheng.
According to Xu Xiaoming, this little girl is very spiritual. Although there are not many scenes, he performed very well and can be signed for training.
Now there is only one actress in the company, Lam Jieying, and she is still famous for her beauty. After Li Lizhen is signed, she can take the cute route.
"By the way, I will introduce some people to work in Pengcheng, and you can help me take care of them. But if they dare to commit crimes, we will not tolerate them."
Wang Yaowei nodded, "Okay, I will keep an eye on them."
After Wang Yaowei left with the five Transformers, Liu Hongmin made a phone call to Xiangjiang.
The next day, Yang Guiren flew to the capital.
After signing the contract, Yang Guiren told Liu Hongmin good news.
"A few days ago, Random House had finished translating "Lies" that year. They sent the Japanese version to the Japanese side overnight and printed it overnight. "The Wilderness" was put on the shelves yesterday. "
"Really?" Liu Hongmin was pleasantly surprised. Publishing it to the Japs was almost like pointing at the little Japs' noses and scolding them. Is there anything more comfortable than this?
"Random House is indeed very powerful. They sell products directly in all large bookstores throughout the Japs. Even though the Japs are reluctant, they still have to do it."
Yang Guiren said with emotion. : "You are right what you said before. It's not easy for a little devil to do this."
"What's wrong with this!" Liu Hongmin didn't take it seriously, "The old American's methods are cruel! Just wait. Let’s watch the excitement!”
Yang Guiren shook his head, what’s more cruel than this? It’s a bit unimaginable!
Like ordinary Xiangjiang people, he neither cares about the international situation nor wants to learn history. What he hears every day is freedom and equality in the West. If Liu Hongmin hadn't reminded him, it would be hard for him to imagine that Random House could bully the Japanese so miserably.
This incident allowed him to see the methods and energy of the United States. This is the power of the state machine. Even mainstream developed countries like the Japanese cannot resist it, let alone a small place like Xiangjiang. !
Liu Hongmin: "Brother Ren, after you go back, ask about the sales volume frequently. If you have any good news, please tell me urgently."
"No problem!" Yang Guiren wholeheartedly agreed, with the words of "White Night Journey" The manuscript flew back to Xiangjiang.
With the relationship with Random House, "White Night Walk" will be released simultaneously in four languages: Traditional Chinese, Korean, Japanese and English.
