In the afternoon, Yuedian editor Chang He held his chin and stared at the screen...
People were coming and going in the office, but no one paid any attention to him.
The editor's job is that if you don't come to work one day, the editor-in-chief should give you trouble.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes, so that's what it means?" Chang He murmured, touching his chin.
He is watching Condor Shooting, and the latest chapter is updated with Guo Jing showing off on the grassland and competing in archery with Mongolia's top archery master Zhebie.
Obviously, the silly boy succeeded in pretending, killing two birds with one stone! Everyone was shocked, and the princess all turned sideways.
"It seems that the author is not ignorant. This pretense and slap in the face is very well written! It is mellow and natural, not stiff at all."
Judging from the writing style, he used to think that this little tree was an old antique who was neither straight nor straight. He didn't like the rhythm of useless people turning into geniuses and pretending to be a slap in the face in the current Internet articles.
Unexpectedly, the old man has strong writing skills, and the protagonist is no weaker than San Shao and Tomato.
Write down the name of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and it will be included in the new book recommendation of this week’s martial arts channel.
This is already the second recommendation of The Condor. Last week, the popular category increased by more than 30 collections. It was the second in the same period. Currently, it has more than 80,000 words and 500 collections. It is average, neither good nor bad.
Give him another recommendation to see the results. If there is improvement, he will continue to recommend. If there is no improvement, let him fend for himself. If he can reach 670,000 words, he will be given a limited exemption. If he can reach 670,000 words, he will recommend again.

"Brother Xu, are you alone?" In the evening, in a hotel in Hengdian, Fang Jing looked at a table of dishes gloomily.
Xu Zheng invited guests to dinner. He thought there was a group of people, but they didn't dare to pick up food for more than ten minutes after they came in. Who knew that Xu Zheng said it was just the two of them.
After taking a sip of wine, Xu Zheng smacked his lips, "I'm not the only one. Who else do you think? Eat quickly, the food will get cold in a while."
"Okay, then I'm not welcome."
Holding the bowl, Fang Jing ate slowly. The two chatted about some household matters and entertainment industry gossip. From Xu Zheng's words, he knew that Xu Zheng had only filmed two movies last year, both of which were supporting roles. One of them was due to the scale.
The problem is that it can't be released yet.
When talking about performances, Fang Jing asked questions that he didn't understand, and Xu Zheng patiently answered them one by one.
Before I knew it, it was already late at night.
"Brother Xu, where is your crew? I'll go over and take a look when I get the chance."
"I'm serious about it. It's a costume drama. I'll take a scene. I'll be leaving in a few days. Let's talk about it next time when we have a chance."
"Drink less, that's about it. You still have to film a movie tomorrow, right?"
"No need!" Xu Zheng waved his hand and said drunkenly: "I am the assistant director now. I am the biggest in this group, and they can't control me."
"Okay, you've become the assistant director, congratulations."
"What's so good about this? I started working behind the scenes a few years ago. I've been a director several times, but now... hiccup! It's not easy for actors to get along."
"Brother, let me tell you, you should work harder while you are young. The prime time of an actor is only a few years. When you reach my age, people will no longer want you."
Fang Jing knew what Xu Zheng meant. It wasn't that he didn't want to play anymore, but that as he got older he couldn't play the leading role and could only be a supporting role. Such was the market.
Young audiences like handsome idols. If you, a bad old man, play the leading role, who would watch it except the uncles and aunties?
The most typical one is the film "Eternal Life". The male and female protagonists are all veteran actors, and this film won two Best Actors and Best Actors.
However, the box office of the movie was astonishingly low, and there were too few viewers. Young people said that they had no desire to buy tickets after seeing the name and the lineup of performers.
"Brother Xu, the spring of being a good actor will come. Just wait and see and you will be fine in two years."
"Who said that? Forget it, I'm already discouraged. I can't afford to make a living as an actor anymore, so I might as well transition into a career behind the scenes. There are so many dramas now, so I don't have to worry about running out of movies to film."
Fang Jing smiled bitterly, Xu Zheng said this himself, but he was a famous director in his previous life.
"Fang Jing, my friend has a book in his hand. I've seen it. It's a good comedy. Are you interested?"
"Investment?"
"No, for the role, I am the first male lead and you are the second male lead. Of course, it would be better if you are willing to invest three to five million."
Speaking of professionalism, Xu Zheng became more energetic: "Let me tell you, I have discovered a pattern. Nowadays, comedies are easier to sell."
"The audience comes to the cinema just to have fun. If you make them heartbroken, crying, and miserable, who will come next time?"
The most important thing that Fang Jing lacks now is time. If you don't have time to read, you'll just be writing. Xu Zhengrun usually works in movies and requires high quality, so it's right to follow him.
"Brother Xu, of course I'm interested. What's your name? Who is the director?"
Nowadays, Fang Jing has begun to focus on high-quality roles. In addition to good scripts, it also depends on who the director and the starring role are.
With a blush on his face, Xu Zheng hesitated and said: "I'm on the road, and the director hasn't been decided yet? But the script is definitely good, written by Liu Yiwei."
"Liu Yiwei?" Fang Jing was confused. He thought for a long time before he remembered who it was. "Is it the guy who copied the food on TV?"
"Pfft! Cough cough cough!" Xu Zheng choked on his wine, "That's just one of his identities. Although he is a cook, he is very talented. In the early years, he worked as a screenwriter, director, actor, producer, and magazine editor-in-chief.
people."
"Don't you know, he is also the deputy secretary-general of the Chinese Directors Association, and his relationship is very strong."
Fang Jing's eyes almost fell to the ground in shock. Is that bald man who cooks every day on TV the Secretary General of the Directors Guild? Or is he a producer or director?
"Vote, I will definitely vote! I want this film, and no one can compete with me."
Leaving aside Liu Yiwei, it would be a pity to let go of such a good comedy like "Journey to the Road".
The production cost of "The Lost World" was 4 million, but the box office was 50 million, more than ten times. It is the first example of a Chinese film that is small and big.
This was still in 2010. If it had been a few years later, it wouldn't be a problem to break through one billion.
The quality of the subsequent "Thai囧" and "Hong Kong囧" directed by Xu Zhengzheng was not as good as the first one, but their box office was in the billions, which shows that the "囧" series is strong.
Xu Zheng shook his head and woke up, "Are you serious?"
Under the influence of alcohol, what he said casually just now was purely bragging. In fact, Liu Yiwei did have a plan, and he also wanted to participate, but now there is no trace of it.
"Of course I'm serious!" Fang Jing patted his chest and said, "Which of us brothers is following the other? You contact Liu Yiwei and buy the book. I will pay for it and you will be the director. We will take photos and direct them ourselves."
"I have a ready-made team here, including lighting, photography, props, and art."
After swallowing his saliva, Xu Zheng was moved. Now his biggest wish is to be a director and shoot the things he likes. This is stronger than his desire to be an actor.
But these years I have been working for others, and I feel uncomfortable taking photos for a long time. I have to shoot everything according to other people's ideas, and I don't have freedom.
He knows that Fang Jing is rich. He donated 10 million some time ago, making him a real rich man. In this situation, as long as he nods, the matter will be 100% successful.
"Are you serious? I haven't read the book yet. Think about it clearly. What should I do if I lose money?"
"I think clearly!" Fang nodded and pretended to be relaxed: "Besides, it's just a loss. I don't care about the 18 million. I'll just make a profit."
Xu Zheng was depressed, Damn! Is this human talk? You don’t even care about 18 million yuan, so you still make more. Those who don’t know think it is 1800 yuan.
This character is worthy of being a rich man, I like him!
