…

Facts have proved that Zhao Zhenqiang still has a certain network - the thirty-day all-theater joint screening of the Shaw Brothers Cinemas summer file really made him do it.

The day after taking Lin Zhengying to see Zhao Zhenqiang, Xu Cun and Zhao Zhenqiang, who had a power of attorney from the manager of Shaw Brothers Cinemas, went to a well-known law firm to sign an agreement. Moreover, at Xu Cun's strong request, the compensation was set at the upper limit.

However, although the agreement has been signed, "Shanghai Tang" cannot be filmed for the time being.

Xu Cun is expected to write 600,000 to 800,000 words for the novel "Shanghai Tang", that is, it will take about four months for the novel to be serialized, and then Xu Cun will be able to adapt the script of the TV series "Shanghai Tang" based on the novel "Shanghai Tang".

In this way, in less than half a year, "Shanghai Tang" could not start filming at all.

……

"Fa Qian Han" including the post-production zuò only took two months, and this is still under the condition of Wu Yusen's pursuit of quality, otherwise the film would have been produced in more than a month.

The moment Xu Cunzài, who participated in all the movies from beginning to end, finished editing, he muttered: "The speed of making movies in this era is also TMD!"

……

After "Fa Qian Han" was completed, Zhao Yazhi's scene in "The Great Revenge" was also completed. However, Zhao Yazhi did not rest idle because of this, she took on another "The Knife in the Wind Chime" directed by Jin Changliang and Tian Peng.

This movie was produced by the Sun Moon Film Company in Taiwan, so Zhao Yazhi had to go to Taiwan to shoot.

Before Zhao Yazhi set off, Xu Cun made an appointment with Zhao Yazhi.

In the process of chatting, Xu Cunzhi asked Zhao Yazhi to help him inquire about Lin Qingxia's home address.

Zhao Yazhi, who was already very close to Xu Cun, smiled knowingly after listening to Xu Cun's entrustment, as if to say: "It turns out that you like Lin Qingxia!" Then, Zhao Yazhi agreed, and also promised to call Xu Cun to tell Xu Cun the result in the near future.

……

After leaving the crew of "Fa Qian Han", Xu Cun didn't look for the crew anymore - if he wanted to make his own movie after the year, Xu Cun had to prepare enough money.

Xu Cun made a preliminary calculation.

It costs about 500,000 to make a movie.

The minimum fee for the three-day screening of the 16 Shaw Brothers theaters is about 400,000 or 500,000 yuan.

Miscellaneous expenses such as copy fees also cost 70,000 or 80,000 yuan.

In addition, Xu Cun is also ready to advertise, and the advertising fee will be more than 100,000 yuan.

In other words, if Xu Cun wants his movie to be released, he must have at least 110,000.

Besides, it is impossible to make a movie, Xu Cun must prepare more money.

"Ethereal Journey" is only more than 2 million words in total, and "Shanghai Tang" is at most 800,000 words, and the manuscript fees of the two together are only more than 800,000 yuan. plus the 100,000 yuan earned from selling the script of "Shanghai Tang", and then subtract Xu Cun's expenses. If "Ethereal Journey" and "Shanghai Tang" were written, Xu Cun would have less than 900,000.

So far, Xu Cun has written more than 500,000 words in "Ethereal Journey", and Xu Cun has written more than 100,000 words in "Shanghai Difficulty".

Therefore, Xu Cun not only had to finish writing "Ethereal Journey" and "Shanghai Tang", but also had to prepare a new book, and then use the new book to advance some remuneration from "Oriental Daily", so that Xu Cun could have enough money to make a movie.

……

However, no matter how clear his mind is, it is impossible for Xu Cun to remember all the details in the original book of "Ethereal Journey", and the novel "Shanghai Tang" is adapted by Xu Cun himself based on the two versions of the "Shanghai Tang" TV series (as well as the version of Huang Xiaoming playing Xu Wenqiang), so many of the contents in the two novels "Ethereal Journey" and "Shanghai Tang" are original by Xu Cun.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Cun can't write novels fast at all - at first, he can write 10,000 or 8,000 words a day. With his familiarity with traditional characters, his speed of writing novels increased, reaching about 15,000 words a day.

After writing day and night in the attic of the Li family for nearly half a year, Xu Cun finished writing "Ethereal Journey" and "Shanghai Tang", and then Xu Cun spent more than ten days writing 100,000 words of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and his life of writing in retreat came to an end.

To be honest, even counting the previous life, this half year is definitely the most painful half a year Xu Cun has ever had - in order to hurry, Xu Cun even spent the New Year's Day in writing! If it weren't for the great and evil dream in his heart, Xu Cun would never have accomplished this feat!

……

The past is like smoke and cannot be traced!

When Xu Cun came out of the headquarters of "Oriental Daily" with a check for one million, the painful experience of the past six months instantly left Xu Cun behind.

The cheque was deposited near the bank, and Xu Cun's deposit reached 1.34 million.

After withdrawing 20,000 yuan in cash, Xu Cun went straight to the car rental company - he was used to driving in his previous life. There is no car, it is too convenient for Xu Cun!

rented a ninety percent new Toyota at the car rental company, and Xu Cun drove to Lin Zhengying's residence......

……

Half a year of waiting has already made Dong Wei and others anxious! If it weren't for the fact that during the Chinese New Year, Xu Cun gave Lin Zhengying another 20,000 yuan to settle the three of them for the New Year, Dong Wei might have switched to wireless filming. Therefore, as soon as he received Lin Zhengying's call, Dong Wei rushed to Lin Zhengying's home as soon as possible.

When Dong Wei entered the door, he heard Xu Cun say to Lin Zhengying: "A-Ying, do you know a beautiful and cute fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, who can't act." ”

When he wasn't acting, Lin Zhengying was quite boring, how could he know a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl? Therefore, Xu Cun's question about Lin Zhengying was tantamount to asking in vain.

Dong Wei, who had just entered the house, listened to Xu Cun's words, but his expression moved, and he answered: "Brother Cun, is it okay to be thirteen or fourteen years old? I know a very good little girl!"

"Very beautiful?" Xu Cun asked as he looked at Dong Wei.

"It's beautiful, and it's very spiritual!" Dong Wei said with a swear.

Dong Wei was so optimistic about this little girl that it immediately aroused Xu Cun's interest, so Xu Cun asked Dong Wei: "What is the name of that little girl?"

"Li Saifeng. Her family lives in the same district as me, and she often practices dancing in the square where I practice, and today is the weekend, so if we go by at this point, we may be able to see her in the square. Dong Wei said.

As soon as he heard the words 'Li Saifeng', Xu Cun's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he said, "Let's go, let's go and see if we can find her." ”

After speaking, Xu Cun couldn't wait to walk outside the house!

Lin Zhengying and Dong Wei glanced at each other, and saw puzzlement in each other's eyes - they couldn't figure it out, why was Xu Cun so urgent?

couldn't figure it out, so they hurriedly got up and followed Xu Cun and left Lin Zhengying's house......
