He Zuozhi said with a smile: "Huo Sheng, I don't know if you have ever heard of our radio drama "Diary of a Big Husband"? Like it, we will invite someone to produce the sound effects inside, and we will definitely make the radio drama of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" the best! Maybe there will be that director in the future, and it may not be necessary to make it into a movie. ”

When it comes to "Diary of a Big Husband", Huo Yaowen really hasn't heard of a radio drama, but he has watched a movie adapted from later generations, the protagonists are Zhou Yanfa, Wang Xiaoqian, Ye Qianwen, that movie is very interesting, when he watched it, he once imagined that he could also become the male protagonist in it, not only did he have two beautiful wives, but he also immigrated to the Middle East in the end and was able to marry four wives!

However, at present, Hong Kong does not seem to have abolished some Qing laws, and polygamy still exists.

Thinking of the plot in the movie "Diary of a Big Husband", Huo Yaowen laughed out of place, and when he said so, he remembered that there were other people in the place where he was, and his heart turned around, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "I have heard a little bit of Director He's "Diary of a Big Husband" on your station, and the sound effects in it and the host's broadcast are very good! If "Ghost Blows the Lantern" can be adapted into a radio drama, I think the audience will definitely have a very graphic sense when listening to it. ”

He Zuozhi didn't care why Huo Yaowen suddenly laughed, he just thought that the other party was happy that his book was adapted into a radio drama, and he also said with a smile: "Huo Sheng, rest assured, your "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" not only has suspense, horror, but also creepy but fascinating tomb robbery links, if it can be adapted into a radio drama, I think it must be able to make a sensation in Hong Kong. ”

Radio broadcasting has been popular since the Republic of China, and this novel way of entertainment and pastime, which only hears its voice and does not see its people, can be said to have swept the world when movies and TV dramas have not yet been popularized.

Even with the rise of movies and TV dramas in later generations, radio is still long-lasting, after all, it is extremely convenient to listen to radio content at will with a radio when you are away from home.

Although Hong Kong's TVB and Lai TV stations have opened for business and produced some TV dramas for entertainment, not every household can afford a TV set, so listening to the radio has become one of the daily pastimes of most people.

The most attractive thing about radio is that in addition to reading and broadcasting novels, it is storytelling and opera, among which radio dramas are a combination of these advantages, adding sound effects and soundtracks, so He Zuozhi will say that as long as "Ghost Blows the Lantern" is made into a radio drama, it will definitely attract many people.

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen nodded and said, "I don't know what kind of cooperation method Director He wants?"

He Zuozhi thought about it and said the cooperation method: "The radio station invested 10,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy the exclusive copyright of Huo Sheng's Ghost Blowing Lantern Radio. ”

"Director He, is this a little too little?"

Huo Yaowen frowned and said: "I plan to write at least eight parts of this book, with a total word count of at least two million words, and 10,000 Hong Kong dollars to win the exclusive broadcasting rights, is it too little?"

"Eight parts! Two million words!" He Zuozhi was stunned, he didn't expect Huo Yaowen to write so many words.

And Liu Weidong, who had been listening to the conversation between the two on the side, also frowned, he remembered that if it was correct, the newspaper only cooperated with "Notes on Ghost Blowing Out the Lantern --- Tomb Robbery", if in the future, Huo Yaowen and Ni Frame would change the title of the book like the Wesley series and submit it to another house, wouldn't it be the newspaper saying that it had lost this good book that expanded its fame? It seems that I will have to talk to the editor-in-chief about this matter after I go back.

He Zuozhi pondered for a few seconds, and after weighing the pros and cons, he opened his mouth and said: "That's it, Huo Sheng, since you have to write eight parts of this book, I think each one is 5,000 Hong Kong dollars, and our radio station must obtain the right to film and television adaptation in addition to the broadcasting rights." ”

Don't look at it as only 1968, when Hong Kong still attached great importance to copyright legal awareness, which is one of the reasons why Jin Yong was able to make a fortune from words and copyright.

When Huo Yaowen heard He Zuozhi's words, he chuckled lightly and grinned: "Director He, I won't sell the adaptation rights of movies and TV series for the time being." So, each novel is 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the broadcasting rights of each novel are only for three years, what do you think?"

He Zuozhi didn't expect Huo Yaowen in front of him to be lured by him, you must know that 10,000 Hong Kong dollars can do a lot of things now, and about 40,000 yuan can buy a thousand-foot mansion, he thought that Huo Yaowen was young, and he should immediately agree to it as soon as he heard 40,000 yuan.

At this moment, the door of the office was suddenly opened, and a little girl of about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a slim white dress, ran in with brisk steps.

"Uncle Shi!" the girl shouted, only then did she notice that there were people in the house, and she came over in a trance, this was Uncle Shi seeing a guest, and quickly spit out a little tongue, and smiled embarrassedly at a few people: "I'm sorry Uncle Shi, I didn't know you had guests." ”

"Hye-jin is here. He Zuozhi heard the voice, tilted his head to look, and saw that the person who came was his niece Luo Huizhen, and chuckled and said, "Huizhen, you go outside to play first, Uncle Shi has something to talk about." ”

"Okay. ”

Luo Huizhen nodded, and when she turned to leave, she noticed the handsome Huo Yaowen, took a sneaky look twice, and then closed the door and went out.

After the others left, He Zuozhi said apologetically: "I'm sorry Huo Sheng Liu Sheng, this is my niece, and I am not very sensible." ”

Liu Weidong hurriedly waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Huo Yaowen didn't pay attention to it, just quietly waited for He Zuozhi's reply.

He Zuozhi pondered for a few seconds on the cooperation proposed by Huo Yaowen just now, and said: "Huo Sheng, 10,000 is OK, but at least ten years. ”

As soon as he heard about the 10,000 films, Huo Yaowen's heart tightened, and he pretended to hesitate for a while, and then nodded and agreed: "No problem, Director He, but I still have to discuss it with the people of Oriental Newspaper, after all, they also have to serialize it every day, so in the radio broadcast, the progress must not exceed that of the newspaper." ”

"This is natural, with the help of Oriental Newspaper in the front, the ratings of our radio station may be even higher. He Zuozhi smiled.

Newspapers publish novels, which do not conflict with radio broadcasts at all, although there will be a lot less mystery of the story, but radio dramas are radio dramas after all, and they are much more interesting than simply reading words.

In addition, the cultural popularization rate in Hong Kong is not particularly high, not only some adults, but even some children who can't read big words, so there are a little more people who listen to radio broadcasts than they read newspapers.

After the cooperation was confirmed, He Zuozhi warmly invited Huo Yaowen to visit the commercial radio station at this time, and said that the radio station might have to move away from Lai Chi Kok and go to the radio channel in Kowloon for a while.
