"Impossible! If everyone charges as much as he does for our newspaper, how can we handle it?"
Jin Yong took off his glasses with some annoyance, picked up a soft cloth and wiped them vigorously.
"Now we are also considering the long term! Those readers asked Gu Long to continue serializing Little Li Feidao in our newspaper. If we don't do it, I'm afraid we will cause a lot of trouble! As you know, those people lack discipline, and many of them are still children. , you can even do things like throwing paint, smashing rocks, and setting fires!"
After a pause, Shen Baoxin said again: "Old Cha, it's not like you haven't given in before! When you wrote "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", you originally wanted to write Xiao Longnu to death and let Yang Guo and Guo Fu be together. Under the influence of readers and book fans, they sent you blades and threatened you to be careful when you go out. Didn't you give in in the end and rewrite the ending for them?"
Shen Baoxin didn't say these words, but it was the biggest pain in Jin Yong's life.
When Jin Yong created "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", it was arranged from the beginning that Yang Guo was in love with Guo Fu, and Guo Fu was also in love with Yang Guo. The love between the two was divided into parts, from misunderstanding to mutual understanding, and finally they became a matchless couple.
And in this novel, Jin Yong has secretly illuminated many things.
First of all, the "divine eagle", in the whole book, only Yang Guo and Guo Fu raised a giant eagle. And Yang Guo's first reaction after getting the divine eagle was to show it to Guo Fu and show off in front of Guo Fu.
Secondly, the so-called "heroes" are supposed to travel around the world to save people from fire and water. Yang Guo has done this, but Xiao Longnu has always been able to avoid the world.
On the contrary, Guo Fu has always inherited her parents' legacy and has no regrets even if she is in danger.
From this aspect, Yang Guo and Guo Fu deserve the word "heroic couple" together.
In the end, Yang Guo never hated Guo Fu from beginning to end. On the contrary, he kept saving her even at the end.
It can even be seen from many details that Yang Guo only respects Xiao Longnu, but you are good to me, and I want to have better feelings for you.
He treats Guo Fu with a mixture of love and hate. He always feels ashamed in front of Guo Fu and always wants to attract Guo Fu's attention.
It's a pity that such a good official matchmaker was unhappy with the readers and forced Jin Yong to write Xiao Longnu to death and then resurrect him after sixteen years. Finally, he changed the outline and forced Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu to become adults. A couple.
Even Jin Yong himself felt that doing so was unworthy of a literary man, but at that time, "Ming Pao" was just starting out and needed to rely on readers' subscriptions to make a living. Readers were the basic necessities of life, so he had no choice but to give in in order to earn money.
"Old Shen, please stop exposing my scars! Ming Pao is different from what it used to be, and I will no longer tolerate these readers!"
"This is not a problem of getting used to it, but a problem that causes readers to riot! It is very scary for those students to go crazy. It is possible that our "Ming Pao" will be burned down. When the time comes, I will see how you, Lao Cha, would rather break than bend. indomitable?"
Seeing that the two of them were about to really quarrel, Shi Zhijian coughed and said, "Sorry, you two! Excuse me!"
Jin Yong and Shen Bao turned to look at Shi Zhijian at the same time.
Shi Zhijian flicked his cigarette in the ashtray, then raised his head and said to the two of them: "Isn't it just to invite Gu Long back so that he can change his mind and continue writing Xiao Li's Flying Knife? I can help you with this!"
"Uh, really?" Jin Yong and Shen Baoxin looked at each other in disbelief.
"Of course it's true! I know he is a very loyal person. As long as Mr. Cha is willing to give you a little step up, he will definitely come back!"
Seeing what Shi Zhijian said, Jin Yong couldn't help but said: "Mr. Shi, I know that you have a very close relationship with Gu Long and Ni Jiang, but this matter is not a trivial matter."
"Yes, you can't just talk nonsense!"
"If you two don't believe me, I can call you now." Shi Zhijian stood up, walked to the desk with a cigarette between his legs, and picked up the phone in front of Jin Yong and Shen Baoxin.
After a while, the call was answered.
The big-headed Gu Long's voice sounded over there, speaking in Cantonese: "What are you doing? Is it Cha Sheng? I have told you not to call me in the future! Our cooperation ends here!"
"Old Bear, it's me!"
"Uh, Ajian?" A voice of surprise came from the big head.
"Yes, I miss you!" Shi Zhijian said, "Come back and continue serializing novels in Ming Pao!"
"But I..."
"I know, there is no problem with the royalties! In addition, I have a good idea - "Xiao Shiyilang"!"
"What's Xiao? What's Xiao? Ajian, wait for me! I'll fly to Hong Kong right now! Wait for me!"
After saying that, "click"!
The phone hangs up.
Shi Zhijian also put down the phone, took a puff of cigarette, looked at Jin Yong and Shen Baoxin with a smile, and blew out the smoke: "Get it done!"
Jin Yong and Shen Baoxin looked at each other, how could it be possible?!
…
Wait until Jin Yong and Shen Baoxin come to their senses.
"You two, I have helped so much, so now is it time to talk about our cooperation?"
Shi Zhijian said, taking out the designed movie posters from his briefcase and spreading them on his desk: "Do me a favor and publish these on your front page!"
The poster of "Myth" is very atmospheric, and the most attractive thing is the text on it:
"The Qin Emperor's underground palace has been revealed again! The shocking secret is about to be revealed!"
"Thousand-year love, traveling through time and space!"
“The Qin Emperor’s Terracotta Warriors and Horses make a shocking debut!”
Jin Yong and Shen Baoxin couldn't help but be surprised together: "What does traveling through time and space mean?"
"What the hell are these terracotta warriors and horses?"
Jin Yong and Shen Baoxin were stunned by Shi Zhijian's series of incredible propaganda methods.
You know, the concept of "time travel" in the previous life only appeared in the Hollywood movie "Back to the Future" in the 1980s.
Regarding the story of the Qin Dynasty's time travel, there are the 1986 Hong Kong movie "Dream Man" and the 1989 "Ancient and Modern War between Qin Terracotta Warriors".
But now in 1968, Shi Zhijian has proposed this concept of "time travel". How can we not be surprised?
There is also the sharper "Terracotta Warriors".
It was only excavated in 1974, and Shi Zhijian has found it now. Isn’t that shocking?!
Based on these two major selling points alone, "Myth" is enough to become a hit.
But what surprised Jin Yong and Shen Baoxin even more was what came next.
"What? All 18 cinemas in Hong Kong are going to screen your movie?"
It is not as simple as becoming a hit, but becoming a money-grabbing machine!
Shi Zhijian reached out and gently crushed the cigarette out in the ashtray, and then said with a smile: "That's why I came to you! Can you help me promote it for free for a month? I'm so short of money!"
Jin Yong and Shen Baoxin looked at each other and finally made a sound decision: "Free promotion for a month and using our front page headlines, this is impossible!"
After a pause, he added: "But for the sake of helping us just now - up to 50% off!"
Shi Zhijian smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said: "Deal!"
