20 [Submit to Ming Pao, meet the God of Food]
"This wave, it's not a loss!" Xu Wenhui smiled and got into the taxi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The people who sent each other were Zheng Shaoqiu, as well as Lu Liangwei and Chen Meiqi, with the courtesy and friendship of these people, what are those snobs who see the wind and steer the rudder? !
It's just that Xu Wenhui, who left, finally couldn't help sneering at the corners of his mouth: "Wireless, sooner or later, we will have a fight." ā

Xu Wenhui, who returned home, rested for a day, sorted out the novel, and looked at the hard work of so many days, and there were more than 200,000 manuscripts. "It's time!"

It was a sunny afternoon.
Ka Yip Street, Chai Wan, industrial centre. A taxi approached slowly and stopped in front of a building.
Click!
The car door opened, and a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old came down, with a thick briefcase tucked in the crook of his arm.
The young man was Xu Wenhui, when he got out of the car, he saw the dark green building in front of him at first sight, the building is not high, it is not the title of the building, but it is already very big on this street. The words "Ming Pao Building" on the billboard in front of the building are very conspicuous.
Main Street Center.
Tramways Limited, which has just been acquired by the Wharf Group. On the tram tracks, tinkling old trams come and go, and opposite is a row of low old tenement buildings, restaurants, bookstores, and shops.
"Ming Pao, I don't know if you're lucky or I'm lucky. Xu Wenhui let out a long sigh of relief and walked into the building.
The unique geographical and political environment of Hong Kong has contributed to the prosperity of Hong Kong's newspaper industry.
When Xu Wenhui first came to Xiangjiang to live in Li Zheng's house, he inquired about it, and in the fifties and sixties alone, there were 85 new newspapers, an average of 8.5 new newspapers a year, most of which were Chinese newspapers, although it was rare to be able to hold on for more than ten years, but in the 77s, Hong Kong Island, which was a big palm, had nearly 70 newspapers at the same time.
At this time, there were more than a dozen newspapers in Xiangjiang, such as "Sing Tao Daily", "Oriental Daily", "Sun Daily", "Ming Pao", "Cheng Pao", "Apple Daily", "Ta Kung Pao", "Wen Wei Po", "Heung Kong Business Daily", etc., as well as many English-language newspapers.
Among these newspapers, the most famous and highest-selling newspapers are "Sing Tao Daily", "Oriental Daily", and "Ming Pao".
Xu Wenhui's first choice for submitting "Sou Shen Ji" was naturally "Ming Pao" founded by Jin Yong.
Jin Yong is not too strange to every Chinese and Chinese, and Xu Wenhui is no exception.
Ming Pao, a newspaper that relied on Jin Yong's serialization of his novels in the early days, has now been called the "Times" of Hong Kong by more and more Hong Kong people, and even foreigners.
Although Ming Pao and Zha Liangyong are often ridiculed as "opportunists" and "wall-to-wall grass" on issues related to our country. However, by the 1977s, in Xiangjiang, where "yellow and X-colored news" and "three S" were prevalent, only Ming Pao took a flat and down-to-earth line, taking an objective and faithful attitude as the principle of running a newspaper.
It is precisely because of Cha Liangyong's foresight that Ming Pao has been regarded as an intellectual newspaper with an independent newspaper and has won a high reputation. The vast majority of Hong Kong writers are proud to have articles in Ming Pao or to be columnists for Ming Pao.
Therefore, although Jin Yong is very picky and the remuneration of "Ming Pao" is very low, there are still countless authors who flock to it.
Now, although the old man Jin Yong has long stopped writing, "Famous Newspaper", which started with martial arts, has not given up the serialization of martial arts novels. It is still common to see the whole article serialized and the writer's column serialized, but the writer's column is much less common than the whole serial.
Xu Wenhui naturally doesn't pay attention to the amount of manuscript fees, he doesn't calculate gains and losses like ordinary people.
What he values is the status of Ming Pao in the minds of the people of Hong Kong.
To put it another way, opening a column in Ming Pao is a status symbol. I've opened a column in "Ming Pao", are you still afraid that you won't be able to get money?

It is a little strange that there is only one door at the main entrance of the Ming Pao Building, and only two people can enter and exit here, and no matter how many people can't squeeze in.
Xu Wenhui walked in quietly with the manuscript.
Not long after walking in, Xu Wenhui unexpectedly bumped into an acquaintance, oh, maybe it is more appropriate to say that familiar faces, but compared to the person in his memory, he is much younger.
Looking at the middle-aged man walking towards him, Xu Wenhui greeted him: "Mr. Cai, hello." ā
Facing Xu Wenhui's enthusiasm, the middle-aged man was a little overwhelmed.
This middle-aged man surnamed Cai, it is not difficult to guess his identity. There are still relatively few celebrities with the surname Cai, not to mention the people who go in and out of places like Ming Pao? This person is Cai Yan, who is known as the "Four Great Talents of Xiangjiang" and has the reputation of "God of Food" along with Jin Yong, Huang Mu, and Ni Frame.
"Do you know me?" Cai Yan was surprised and couldn't help but be stunned.
"I don't think I've seen you, pretty boy. ā
From the 60s to the 70s, Cai Yan worked as a film producer in the largest studios in Southeast Asia, such as Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, for a long time. The main films he supervised include: "Food Truck", "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother", "Lucky Star Gaozhao", "City Hunter", "Thunderbolt", "A Good Man", "Serious Crime Unit" and other blockbusters starring Sex Dragon.
However, what he does is all behind-the-scenes work, and now he has not co-hosted the TV show "No Defense Tonight" by Huang Mu and Ni Frame, and not many people have seen him or heard of him. Outside the circle even less.

Xu Wenhui was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "I watched "The Strange Case of Xiangjiang" written by you last year, and I think it is very exciting. Throughout the film, the so-called "strange case" is actually a tragedy, reflecting the suffering of the lower class of Xiangjiang society in the 70s, which is not without warning. I want to praise Cai Sheng for this. ā
Sycophant, Xu Wenhui came with his mouth open without money.
"I didn't expect you to know this, this piece is written casually, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning. Cai Yan heard it, although he was modest, his face was still a little complacent and happy.
No one doesn't like to hear good things.
What's more, this drama hits his cool point.
The Hong Kong film industry has always had a tradition of bringing major and important local cases to the screen, some of which reflect the real problems existing in society, and some of which are purely violent and bloody. "The Strange Case of Xiangjiang" is also composed of the three strange cases of Xiangjiang adapted from real people and real stories, "Blood Splattered Hanging Neck Ridge" directed by Hua Shan, "Hiding the Corpse at the Bottom of the Stove" directed by Cheng Gang, and "Dragon and Tiger Warrior" directed by He Menghua were all sensational and important cases at that time.
One of the episodes of "Dragon and Tiger Warrior" was written by Cai Yan.
It was his first screenplay film, so he was happy to hear it being appreciated by others.
Xu Wenhui was planning to make a movie, and he was planning to see how to fool him into becoming a producer.
There was a lot of enthusiasm on his face, Xu Wenhui exchanged a few polite words with him, and after getting to know each other, he asked, "Cai Sheng, did you just come out of Ming Pao?"
"That's right, I just played a few games of Go with Mr. Cha. Cai Yan didn't hide it.
Xu Wenhui said 'oh', it's not a secret that Zha Liangyong loves chess and is crazy, but if you don't know it specifically, not many people know about it. Xu Wenhui knew about this because when he bought Ming Pao some time ago, he didn't see him write a current commentary, which was a rare thing, and he used to return to the museum every night.
There are many people who read Ming Pao, and only after the fact did they hearsay that Jin Yong recently fell in love with Go, and in order to catch chess, he did not often return to the museum to write editorials, so now some of the editorials of "Ming Pao" are written by Xu Dongbin, and occasionally there is a cameo by the boss Pan Yuesheng.
It can be said that he is a first-class chess fan. In recent years, Jin Yong has continuously invited Go masters from the mainland to come to Xiangjiang to fight with him, and for a period of time, two Go masters have been living in his house, and all the food helpers belong to him. It is to accompany Jin Yong to play chess every day.
Xu Wenhui didn't feel anything after listening to it, just a little envious, people have retired and started to enjoy life, and they can do whatever they want...
"By the way, Ah Hui, why are you here to Mingbao?" Cai Yan saw that he was carrying a briefcase in his hand and asked, "Are you here to work?"
"No, I'm the same as Cai Sheng!"
"What, are you also here to play chess with Cha Sheng?" Cai Yan looked at his young face in disbelief and exclaimed.
