Shi Zhijian was a man of his word. Now that the matter at the Shek Kip Mei factory had been settled, his thoughts fell on writing a script for Zou Wenhuai.
For Shi Zhijian, this bet with Zou Wenhuai is of great significance. It will not only speed up Zou Wenhuai's separation from Shaw Brothers, but also help Shinhwa Company achieve independence in publicity.
At present, there are only a few entertainment media in Hong Kong, including newspapers, radio stations, and movies.
Nowadays, few people read newspapers because the literacy rate is not high yet, and few people read radio stations because the cable fee is too expensive, 25 a month, which excludes most people.
Movie tickets that only cost five yuan are the most affordable and down-to-earth.
The whole family reunited to watch a movie. The inseparable couple happily watched the movie. In order to get the money back, they even watched the advertisements inserted in the movie, as well as the sponsors and sponsors at the beginning and end of the film.
So Shi Zhijian decided that if Zou Wenhuai was ambitious enough, he would support him in establishing Jiahe and let Jiahe extend into Shinhwa Company's "Propaganda Department".
Imagination is wonderful, but action is difficult, especially with a professional skill like script writing.
In his last life, Shi Zhijian was an out-and-out science and engineering man. It would be easy to ask him to plagiarize a few songs to fool an artistic young woman like Nie Yongqin.
But it was difficult for him to actually write the script of the play "Myth" in his previous life.
As soon as I picked up the pen, I bit the pen barrel furiously.
Even though my mind is full of stories and movie clips from this drama in my previous life, I still can't write a complete sentence. Even if I write it, it doesn't have the same flavor.
Only then did Shi Zhijian realize that he was careless!
Every other line is like a mountain.
Even though I have fifty years more knowledge than others, I am still an idiot when it comes to writing scripts.
Since you are an idiot, find someone smart.
Shi Zhijian immediately targeted Ni Jiji, who was known as the "fastest shooter" in the Hong Kong literary world.
Ni Jiang is said to have three qualities: "writing speed", "drinking speed", and "gutter girl speed".
Shi Zhijian was not interested in his other two writing machines and was now in a hurry to deliver goods to Zou Wenhuai, so he could only find Ni Jiang and use his writing machine to complete the task.
Ni Jiang likes to drink, and often hangs out with friends at the most famous "Maple Grove" hotel in Hong Kong.
This hotel is very famous, and this name will be used in many future dramas.
When Shi Zhijian drove Hu Juncai to the Maple Leaf Hotel in his car, the place was already full of guests, and business seemed to be very good.
Shi Zhijian came to the front desk and found the concierge easily. He took out ten yuan and found out which private room Ni Jiang and the others were drinking happily. So Shi Zhijian spent another ten yuan and booked a private room next to Ni Jiang's private room.
I took Hu Juncai there and ordered two side dishes. While eating, I listened to the sounds next door.
…
There was a lot of movement next door.
At this time, Ni Jiang was hugging two pretty beauties on his left and right. His face was red from drinking. He took off his glasses, took out a tissue, wiped them vigorously, and put them on the bridge of his nose.
There were two men drinking with him, one of them was Big Head, and the other was Big Head's manager.
Big Head is from Baodao. When he first arrived, Ni Frame seemed overly enthusiastic this time, which made Big Head feel frightened. He was afraid that he might not be able to figure out the tricks of the Hong Kong literary world, so he brought his agent over for this drinking session.
In fact, the agent was also confused. He used to live in Treasure Island and knew little about the Hong Kong literary world. He only knew that the drunk Hong Kong guy in front of him was the second most important person in the Hong Kong literary world and the most important person.
It’s Boss Jin Yong.
However, this second boss seems to be very loyal. There is not much politeness in the conversation with them, but they are all about shit, shit, fuck your mother, greeting your mother and other quick words.
The agent thinks that this Hong Kong guy is vulgar and degrading to politeness, but the big head thinks that he is very suitable to his taste. Especially drinking flower wine like this, with beauties on both sides, it will be more like a Jianghu person. Fine wine,
Beautiful women, and quick talkers, this is the world.
Big Head writes about martial arts. He likes Jianghu people and their boldness and generosity, so halfway through drinking the wine, the two of them have begun to call themselves brothers.
"Old Xiong, look at how popular your movie "Two Prides" became after it was published in "Ming Pao"! You can hang out in Hong Kong from now on! You have a brother and I will protect you. No one can touch a hair on your head.
!”
"Anyway, I'm here to take care of the whiskey! In addition, I will introduce you to the great directors of Shaw Brothers, such as the recently popular millionaire director Zhang Sa, whose drama "The One-Armed Sword" was written by me.
As long as I ask him to adapt your martial arts, you will definitely become famous in Hong Kong!"
"To be honest, I admire you very much! Ever since you wrote the movie "The Famous Sword", I have been very fond of you! Damn you, you are so talented! "The Famous Sword" is such a good idea,
But it happened to be written down by your mother!"
The big head on the opposite side was scolded by Ni Jiang, but he was very happy: "I was short of money at the time. How could I write the manuscript if I didn't have money to buy wine? So "Famous Swordsman" had to hire a ghostwriter in the end!"
"Your situation is very bad! Once you get used to ghostwriting, it is easy to form an inertia! At that time, you will only think about making quick money, and it will be difficult to produce high-quality products!" Ni Jiang seriously criticized Big Head, but forgot that he had also done it for
The eldest brother Jin Yong is the ghostwriter and is even proud of it.
"By the way, Old Xiong, how much is your manuscript fee now? Is it more than mine? If it exceeds, say something and I can raise the price at any time. At any rate, you can't let me take away my title of No. 1 in the world in manuscript fee!"
Big Head said shyly: "Now I get thirty yuan per thousand words!"
"Awesome, old bear!" Ni Jiang's face showed a big word of admiration, "I think back then when I debuted and wrote "Buried Alive" for a newspaper, I only earned 90 yuan for 13,000 words! Now it's ten yuan in the blink of an eye.
Over the past year, my manuscript fee has only increased six times, reaching thirty-five thousand words!"
"You're still awesome. It's doubled six times in ten years! Now it's five yuan more than me for a thousand words." Big Head said with admiration.
Ni Jiang was happy, as happy as a child. He felt that his remuneration was more than that of Big Head, which was a kind of victory. However, he did not know that the fee mentioned by Big Head was an approximate figure, because there were many newspapers or publishing houses in Baodao that published manuscripts.
, would set a very high price. Sometimes he could get tens of thousands just for the opening of a book, but in total it was even higher than Ni Jiji's.
"Old Xiong, you must be restrained! No matter how much money the other party offers, if you can refuse, just refuse! After all, we are also scholars and literati, and we must have artistic pursuits!" Ni Jiang felt that it was necessary to popularize creative beliefs in big heads.
"Pfft", but the big-headed agent next to him couldn't help laughing.
"Uh, why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?" Ni Jiang was very dissatisfied with the agent's attitude. I was talking to your boss, and you dared to laugh at me?
"No, Mr. Ni! I just admire you very much."
"But why don't I see that you admire me at all?"
"Uh, that."
"Think slowly, I have to wait for your answer. I'm sorry, old bear, I have to drain the water first! I'll drink with you later. We won't come home until we get drunk tonight!"
After Ni Jiang finished speaking, he let go of the two beauties in his arms, and opened the door with a toothpick dangling in his mouth.
After leaving the door, Ni Jiang lifted up his crotch. He was so full from drinking just now, but he didn't expect that he almost couldn't hold it back when he met a master of drinking today.
No, you must release him first! Fuck him down later!
When Ni Jiang thought of this, he hummed a tune and touched his swollen belly to go to the bathroom.
As soon as Ni Jiang walked to the private room where Shi Zhijian was, the door of the private room was opened with a bang.
Shi Zhijian leaned out and said to Ni Ji: "Mr. Ni, please stay!"
Ni Jiang glanced back at Shi Zhijian with a toothpick in his mouth. He didn't recognize him, so he squinted and said, "Do you know me?"
Ningbo people?
Shanghainese?
Shi Zhijian immediately said: "I am from Shanghai, and you are from the same hometown as Mr. Ni!"
