Chapter 152: Everything Back to Beijing
The success of "Detective 3" completely overshadowed the momentum of "Face Changing", which is something Sanlian Publishing House never expected.
Liu Hongmin gave them a publicity idea and asked Sanlian Publishing House to print 100,000 paper sleeves overnight and put them directly on the book "Face Changing". There is only one line on the paper sleeve: "Chinatown Detective" screenwriter and writer Liu Hongmin's new work.
As a result, "Face Changing" sold out immediately the next day. Sanlian Publishing House was very happy about this and decided to write down this routine so that it might be used in the future.
But Liu Hongmin was a little uninterested. If it weren't for making money, he really wouldn't want to pay such attention. This method is entirely based on the popularity of "Detective 2", and is not a spontaneous purchase by readers who like the content of "Face". If it were another book, Liu Hongmin would definitely be very happy. "Face Changing" was written by him after finally generating creative passion. Only readers who can truly like it will be his greatest comfort.
So, before "Detective 2" was released, Liu Hongmin returned to the capital.
Having been away from the capital for several months, there were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.
First of all, it was an organizational matter. He wrote a report on what he had done and submitted it. Although no one wanted it, he had to write it, and it still had to be delivered to Ms. Deng through the capital.
After seeing the report, Ms. Deng paid more attention to Liu Hongmin. Within a few months, he established a joint venture with two giants from Laos and the United States to establish a multinational company, and secured a billion-dollar order for Pengcheng Toy Factory. Although Pengcheng Toy Factory is a subsidiary of Liu Hongmin Xiangjiang Toy Factory, this billion US dollars is really going into the country.
If nothing else, this ability is much better than that of most economists in the country.
Behind the action report, Liu Hongmin actually applied to go to the United States and wanted to go to the Los Angeles Olympics...
Ms. Deng thought for a while, called Xiyuan and talked with them. After hanging up the phone, she wrote a reply to Liu Hongmin, asking him to seek help from the embassy in the United States when he was in trouble.
The second thing is about Professor Tao. The preliminary work of the Preparatory Office has almost been completed. The remaining work is to consider political needs. Professor Tao did not take over the project, so he wanted to take Liu Hongmin to systematically study modern history. As a result, Liu Hongmin ran away to Xiangjiang, which made Professor Tao very dissatisfied. The first thing he said when he saw Liu Hongmin was: "Look at you, do you still look like a student now?"
What else could Liu Hongmin say? ? He directly placed the box of Laimao that he had brought over in front of Professor Tao. Professor Tao was immediately frightened and stood up, and hid the wine while Ms. Chu was not paying attention.
But I didn’t expect that Ms. Chu had seen it a long time ago. While Professor Tao was hiding the wine, he tapped Liu Hongmin with his finger.
Liu Hongmin sneered and quickly made gestures to beg for mercy.
The third issue is about the "Transformers" cartoon. Jingmei Factory has entered the dubbing stage. It just so happened that Liu Hongmin was going to the United States this time, so he could take the dubbed and undubbed master tapes with him.
Chinese dubbing can be directly done by Jingmei Factory, but for other languages, Transformers Company is required to do it.
In addition, there is "Bao Qingtian 8", as well as collecting Mr. Wang's collection of books and taking over two courtyards.
The matter of taking over the courtyard was left to Ma Weidu. He was so familiar with this kind of thing that he was almost as good as Liu Hongmin's butler.
The matter of picking up the books was handed over by Liu Hongmin to Ge Chaoguang, who brought his 82-level juniors and juniors with him. Mr. Wang's collection of books includes thousands of books, many of which are unique and of unimaginable value. Liu Hongmin was very happy about this. He immediately called Xiangjiang and asked Zou Shifang to deposit one million Hong Kong dollars into Mr. Wang's hospital account. The rest will be paid after the value of the book collection is counted.
After finishing all this, Liu Hongmin thought he could study the collection of books. As a result, something happened again.
First, China and Taiwan, they hope to buy the rights to "Penetration" and "Kite" and make them into TV series.
China and Taiwan have become richer and richer in the past two years. The crew of "Journey to the West" invested tens of millions. And there is still money left to film other TV series. People across the country, especially those around the capital, praise China and Taiwan very much. Director Wang was very grateful to Liu Hongmin and always wanted to repay Liu Hongmin. The filming of "Penetration" and "Kite" this time is a kind of reward for Director Wang. Although according to regulations, the copyright fee that can be paid is not much, it is better to have money than no money.
Liu Hongmin didn't think much about it. He was happy to adapt "Penetration" and "Kite" into TV series. In this case, he can take the opportunity to anger the old man Wang and his gang again. I wonder if they smashed the TV while watching the TV series.
He signed casually and sent Director Wang away.
In the end, within two days, Lin Yong came to the door again.
"Brother Liu, we are preparing to shoot "Shaobao". Do you have time to be a consultant for us?"
Liu Hongmin was speechless, "How many years have you been here? Just want to take a photo?”
Lin Yong was a little embarrassed, "Didn't we find a suitable director and actor before?"
"Now we have?"
Lin Yong nodded, "We found Tang Guoqiang and asked him to come Playing the young Bao Zheng, we also cast Yu Rongguang to play Zhan Zhao. It’s just the first time we’re filming such a movie, so we feel a little unsure.”
Liu Hongmin waved, “I don’t have that time. I will transfer someone to you, and I will pay the salary. After the film is sold, you need to donate 50,000 yuan to the Chinese Medicine Association."
Lin Yong thought about it, 850,000 yuan. , there should be some benefits. Shoot the first part first, and then see the effect, and then decide whether to continue using Liu Hongmin.
“Yes!”
Sent Lin Yong away, Liu Hongmin called Xiangjiang and transferred an assistant director. The assistant director had been following Xu Xiaoming before, and the basic salary paid to him by Tomorrow Film Company exceeded 20,000 Hong Kong dollars every month. Coupled with filming bonuses and other benefits, he can earn at least more than 50,000 Hong Kong dollars every month.
Of course, 50,000 yuan can pay his salary for two or three months, and filming a "Shaobao" film will only take more than a month at most. It may seem like Beijing Film Studio is losing money, but it actually saves Beijing Film Studio the trouble of looking for foreign currency everywhere. If you donate to the Chinese Medicine Association, Beijing Film Studio can also gain some reputation, which is not a loss.
After Assistant Director Yang arrived in the capital, Liu Hongmin took him to the Beijing Film Studio. After handing the person over to the crew, he started chatting with Lin Yong.
Lin Yong: "I would like to thank Yuehou for being able to film "Shaobao" this time."
Liu Hongmin asked curiously: "Why do you say that?"
"You should know what happened in Laoshan, right? Now the whole country is angry about this matter. Those people have also become silent, That's why "Shaobao" was cast."
Liu Hongmin couldn't help but laugh, "Are they sometimes afraid?"
