044 [New Drama Start]

Hearing Kim say this, these publishers, book critics, and readers can't wait to see it.

The reason why they support fantasy novels is mainly because of the continuous downturn in martial arts novels in the past two years.

Jin Yong announced the closure of his pen since he wrote "The Legend of Deer and Ding" in 72, and Gu Long has accidentally contracted hepatitis since the Yinsongge incident in 80. In addition, his excessive drinking has made his body weaker and weaker, and no new works have been published in the past three years.

The two great masters sealed their pens one after another, and their successors, such as Huang Ying, Long Chengfeng, Ximen Ding and other descendants, could not carry the banner of the new school of martial arts, which made the martial arts literary world suffer heavy losses. Readers are lost, sales are declining, and influence continues to wane.

It is precisely for this reason that these publishers are desperate for a "hero" to emerge at this time, who can turn the tide and save the building from collapse.

And since Xia is a talent strongly recommended by Jin Yong, and he has a new set of creative theories, these publishers and booksellers naturally put their hopes on him.

You must know that the ancient dragon was discovered by Jin Yong, and he became famous in one fell swoop by writing "Meteor Butterfly Sword" in "Ming Pao". But the martial arts novelists in Taiwan who were more famous than him at that time included Wo Longsheng, Sima Ling, Zhuge Qingyun, etc., but Jin Yong was among the crowd and chose Gu Long, who was not famous at that time. And Gu Long also has his own set of creative theories, and uses this to become a new generation of martial arts masters.

Today's summer is so similar to the ancient dragon of the past, although he is only a nobody now, but all the publishers and booksellers present have high hopes for him.

"Thank you for your love, my fantasy martial arts novel "Qin Shi Mingyue" will be published soon, and I hope you can support it then. Summer also said with a smile.

Being able to get acquainted with so many booksellers and publishers is not in vain today. With the support of these big bosses, his novels will not be sold.

He also signed a contract with Luo Bin, the boss of Universal Publishing House, on the spot, to authorize him to publish "The Eighth Bronze Man of Shaolin Temple". The first printing of 5,000 copies, and the remuneration for the manuscript in the summer is 10,000 yuan.

Although 10,000 Hong Kong dollars is not too much, it is still far from the 1 million expected in the summer. However, gathering sand into a tower and armpits into a fur, one day he will earn a million.

After the symposium, Summer left in a car with Kim Yong.

Although today's symposium got off to a bad start, the outcome was gratifying.

"Mr. Cha, judging from the reactions of these publishers, booksellers, readers, and book critics, they are also very supportive of fantasy novels. Xia said with a smile, "With their support, the downstream will affect the upstream, and those writers must also meet the needs of the market." ”

Jin Yong nodded and said earnestly, "Ah Tian, what you said is good. It's just that even if they rewrite fantasy novels, even if they succeed in the future, they will probably not be grateful to you. ”

"Mr. Cha, I know this, but I don't think it matters if they appreciate me or not. "Summer doesn't matter about waving hands.

His ambition is to become a billionaire, not to become a literary tycoon. He writes books just to accumulate raw funds, and when he earns enough money, he will withdraw and leave, and he will not even touch fantasy novels in the future. Therefore, some literary circles are famous, and they have no meaning to him at all.

However, of course, he can't tell Jin Yong about his thoughts, because Jin Yong now seems to have regarded him as the "savior" of martial arts novels, and he also strongly supports his reform of martial arts novels. If Jin Yong knew that he wanted to make money and ran away, he would be disappointed, and it was estimated that he would shoot him with a "dragon descending eighteen palms".

When Jin Yong heard Xia say this, he felt more and more that Xia was a young man who was not vulgar, broad-minded, unbound to the name of the world, and had the demeanor of everyone. "Ah Tian, don't worry, even if they don't appreciate your guidance, I will help you correct your name. Fantasy fiction was created by you, and no one can erase or ignore it. ”

Summer is humble and can ignore these fame and fortune, but Jin Yong doesn't want him to be wronged like this, and is determined to help him become famous, so that the world knows that the concept of "fantasy novels" was proposed by Xia.

"Thank you, Mr. Cha. Listening to Jin Yong's words, Summer was a little crying and laughing.

He is really not uncommon to be famous, because he is not ready to develop further in the literary world. However, Jin Yong doesn't seem to think so, and he is bent on promoting him, praising him as the pioneer of "fantasy novels" and continuing to lead the transformation of martial arts novels. This makes Summer feel very helpless.

……

Back home, he continued to write his "Qin Shi Mingyue" in the summer.

300 yuan for 1,000 words, you can earn more than 1,000 yuan in an hour, and you can earn more than 15,000 yuan a day.

After dinner, I returned to the house in the summer and continued to work hard. Just then, I heard a knock on the door.

Xia Xue walked over and opened the door, and when she saw someone coming to the door, she couldn't help frowning, and then came to the front of Summer's room, "Big brother, that person is here again." She shouted.

Summer put down the pen and walked out to look, and saw the fat lice standing at the door again.

"Brother Tian!" as soon as they met, he salivated and smiled.

"What, didn't you come here once at noon, and what are you doing now?" Xia frowned and said, I really don't like these people coming to the door at every turn, "Is the script that needs to be revised, or is it something else?"

"No, it was Brother Bing who called me to tell you that he had already found all the personnel and asked when you could start work. Fat lice said with a quick wave of his hand.

"So fast?!" Summer was taken aback. It takes at least half a month for ordinary crews to find enough manpower. Because there is so much work to choose actors, try on makeup and auditions, customize costumes, and coordinate schedules, it can't be completed in two weeks.

I didn't expect Bucktooth Bing to do things so neatly, and the crew was built in half a day, which was really unexpected by him. But on second thought, C-grade films don't need celebrities, makeup auditions, custom outfits, scheduling, etc., no wonder they are progressing so quickly.

"You tell Brother Bing that I can start work at any time. But as I told you last time, I have to get half of the deposit before I start working. Summer narrowed his eyes and said, he hadn't seen his deposit yet.

filming for Bucktooth Bing this time in the summer is not unpaid labor, and his salary is 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. And it has been said in advance that half of the deposit will be paid before the start of filming, a quarter will be paid before the completion of the filming, and the remaining quarter will be settled after the end of the screening.

"Brother Bing said that your deposit will be used to offset the loan shark owed to him, and the insufficient part will be deducted before the completion of the work and when the salary is paid. The fat lice spoke again.

Summer was stunned for a moment, and then smiled slightly, "That's fine, but you tell Brother Bing that before the finale, I want to get the balance and IOU." ”

"Yes. Fat lice nodded, "Brother Tian, when are you going to start filming this new drama?" he asked again.

"It's tomorrow. Summer shook his hand and said impatiently.

"I know, I'll tell Brother Bing when I go back. The fat lice said yes and walked away.

"This door-slamming guy. Summer slammed the door shut and said very unhappily.

……

The next day, Summer took Chen Yixin to the Huada set again.

"Ah Tian, welcome, welcome. I read the script you wrote yesterday, and it's really enjoyable. As soon as they met, Luo Yabing praised him. Anyway, it doesn't cost money to say good things, and it can make people happy, so why don't you say more?

Summer didn't bother to listen to him, and ten thousand good words were not as practical as a coin. Bucktooth Bing salivates more than tea, and praises him as a flower, but the actual benefit is not at all, it is both hypocritical and stingy, and he is too lazy to dump him in the summer.

"Brother Bing, I've arrived, let's get the crew together first. Summer glanced at Luo Yabing and said lightly.

"Uh......" Bucktooth Bingzheng said with a splash of saliva, thinking that Summer would be grateful and regard him as a bosom friend, but he didn't expect that people would ignore his stubble at all, and suddenly let him hold his breath in his throat, and almost turned his back on it.

"Fat lice, where are you hiding, why don't you call everyone soon, I've seen the director!" roared Bucktooth Bing, spilling all his sulking anger on his men.

When the fat lice saw that the boss was angry, he hurriedly dragged the big ass and called someone. After a while, the entire crew of twelve people arrived. The twelve include six actors and six behind-the-scenes workers.

Seeing such a few people, Summer couldn't help but smile bitterly. Like Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao and others filming, the crew must be at least four or five hundred people, not counting the number of extras.

Think about how majestic it should be for someone to be a director, and respond to every call. It's good on my side, there are two or three big cats and small cats, and it looks really pitiful.

And those crew members saw that Summer was just a big boy who didn't have any hair, and they all showed disdainful expressions on their faces, and a few of them sneered again and again, turning heads and ears, making it clear that they didn't take Summer in their eyes.

Xia knew that these people bullied him for being young and not famous, so he didn't look down on himself, he smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, let me introduce myself first, I am Xia, and I am also the director and photographer of our play." ”

"Although there are only a dozen people in our crew, everyone must not be slack, thinking that this is a grass stage team, and they can take the money and leave if they are just gangsters. I'm going to say ugly things ahead, if anyone comes with this idea, leave now as soon as possible. ”

"Otherwise, during the filming, if your performance is not satisfactory to me, then not only will you not be paid, but you will also be asked to compensate for the loss. Summer glanced at everyone.

Hearing him say this, everyone who was originally unimpressed was in good spirits, knowing that summer is not as harmless as it seems on the surface.
