"Ah Ren, what are you making a fuss about?" Chen Xunqi glared at Chen Yongren when he heard the latter's words.

"It's okay, Ah Renken helps, I can't ask for it!" Li Xiuxian smiled heartily.

Chen Yongren was overjoyed and thanked, Chen Xunqi was helpless when he saw this, so he had to say to Li Xiuxian: "Since you don't think this stinky boy is troublesome, then I will hand him over to you; However, the Spring Festival is coming up in a month, and you attach great importance to this drama, and I believe you will not choose to finish it in a hurry, it is better for you to prepare the preliminary preparations first, and then start filming after the New Year, anyway, the good schedule of the theater will not be our turn, and there is no need to be in a hurry, what do you think? ”。

Li Xiuxian agreed: "Hmm...... That's what you said, I'm actually not in such a hurry, anyway, the most important script problem has been solved, and the rest is just a matter of time, so be it! If you don't have anything else to do here, I'll leave first, and I'll invite you and my brother to tea another day. Seeing Chen Xunqi nodding and turning to face Chen Yongren, he said kindly: "Ah Ren, thank you today, next time I look for you, we will work together!" ”。

"Brother Xiu, goodbye!".

Li Xiuxian waved his hand, put on sunglasses, looked like a big brother, and left in style......

Chen Xunqi sighed and said, "I originally wanted to find something for you to do, but you took the initiative to take care of it yourself!" Since this is already the case, you should go home and stay first, and then talk about the related matters after the New Year! ”。

Chen Yongren nodded and left, nearly two hours away, and finally returned to Yuen Long, at this time Chen Yongren secretly decided that the process must be accelerated, seize the time to make money, it is a waste of time to run around all day.

"All I can hope for now is a little manuscript fee!" Chen Yongren sighed, there was a crazy life of code words, four days later, he finally finished the "curse", the next day, also on the second day of January 1984, Chen Yongren again came to Chai Wan, the eastern district, the office of Shen Baoxin, president of "Ming Pao......

"Uncle Shen, don't come here to be harmed?" Chen Yongren has been in contact with Shen Baoxin many times and has become extremely familiar with each other, so as soon as he entered the office, he unceremoniously sat across from Shen Baoxin's desk.

"Ah Ren, why do you have time to come here today, can't you just send the manuscript over? I came all the way from Yuen Long! Shen Baoxin said with a smile.

"I've finished writing 'The Grudge'!"

"Now the market response to this novel is quite good, especially some college students, who especially like to read it, alas...... I didn't expect you to finish writing it so quickly! Shen Baoxin was silent for a moment, and then asked Chen Yongren, "Are you still going to continue writing?" ”。

Chen Yongren slapped the table, shook the swivel chair twice, and said with a smile: "Does Uncle Shen want me to write?" ”。

Shen Baoxin shook his head and said with a smile: "You want to ask if I will give you a higher remuneration, right?" ”。

Chen Yongren said pitifully: "I am also a human being, of course I need to eat!" If you don't eat well, you don't have energy, you don't have motivation, how can you write a good story? ”。

"If you write better than "The Grudge", of course it's nothing to add some manuscript fees to you!".

"What if I say my next novel is ten times better than 'The Grudge'?"

"Oh? You're not kidding? So confident! ”。

"Of course...... The little nephew has recently read a lot of books, and he feels that the level of writing has changed from what it used to be, and compared to the past, it can be said that the sky and the earth are not the same, and this book will become a classic of horror novels when it comes out."

Shen Baoxin looked at the manuscript brought by Chen Yongren, and said with a strange gaze: "Some time ago, I urged the manuscript and you said that you were busy filming and had no time to write, four days ago, you sent me 100,000 words at one time, and today it is almost 100,000 words, where did you get the time to read a lot of books?" ”。

"Ahem...... Cough...... So what...... Uncle Shen, do you want to settle the manuscript fee for "The Grudge" for me first? The little nephew has been shy recently, and he is about to sleep in the open air, and the day is precarious! Chen Yongren replied.

Shen Baoxin shook his head, took out a check and wrote a number, handed it to Chen Yongren and said: "I won't calculate the number of words in your novel, it's almost 400,000 words, it's not much, I don't care about you if it's less, this book is well written, I used to settle 3,600 Hong Kong dollars for you once, which is counted as a red envelope bonus for you, this is a check for 17,000 Hong Kong dollars, you can collect it and go to HSBC to cash it directly." ”。

"It took more than a month of hard work to earn 20,000 yuan, Uncle Shen, are you a little picky? I heard that Mr. Ni Kuang makes millions every month by writing novels! Chen Yongren pretended to be pitiful.

Shen Baoxin's eyes glared and said, "Can you compare with Ni Kuang?" People have tens of thousands of words a day, never delay the manuscript, the level and quality are guaranteed, and the manuscript fee is ten times more than yours. Now the average worker in Hong Kong saves money for a year, and you are still not satisfied, don't forget, how old are you! ”。

Chen Yongren laughed dryly and said, "What, Uncle Shen, didn't you say before that if my next novel is better than "The Grudge", you will give me an additional manuscript fee?" How much can you add? ”。

"Let's talk about it when you're done!" Shen Baoxin didn't have a good airway.

"Have you been in Hong Kong before the holidays?"

"What do you mean? What is this for? ”。

"I estimate that I can finish my next book in half a month, and if you have been in Hong Kong, I will send you the manuscript in half a month."

Shen Bao said curiously: "You are not going to write a long book in your next book?" ”。

"It's a long story!".

"How many words?".

"Uh...... About 200,000! ”

"Isn't this kid really ready to be the next Ni Kuang?" Shen Baoxin's eyes were weird, and he secretly said in his heart; Then he asked, "Or is it a horror theme?" ”。

"Hmm...... It's a story about a cassette of videotapes. ”。

Shen Baoxin nodded and said, "I will be here before the twentieth day of the lunar month, you can send it over before you finish writing!" ”。

Chen Yongren said goodbye to Shen Baoxin and left "Ming Pao", passing by Youth Square and finding a TVB column playing on the big TV screen, he saw Maggie Cheung, and suddenly thought that he had said that he wanted to chase others, and he couldn't express it; So he took a car to Tiu Jing Ling, Chen Yongren thought that he was not an employee of Shao Daheng, so he had to call Wang Jing first, fortunately this fat man was nearby, otherwise he might run in vain.

"Why do you have time to look for me today?" It didn't take long for Wang Jing to arrive panting, calm down a little, and asked.

"Are you busy today?" Of course, Chen Yongren would not say that he was here to chase girls.

"It's nothing, by the way, just in time for you to come, I don't have to call you!".

"What's wrong? Something? ”。

"My film preparation has been completed, and I am ready to start shooting the day after tomorrow, and it is expected to be completed in a week, when are you going to come over and finish your scene?".

"So fast?" Chen Yongren remembered that this movie should have been released in April, and it seems that it was advanced because of his own reasons.

"Well, the production of Shaw Brothers movies has been greatly reduced, and it is almost the New Year, Aunt Fang asked me to make up for the New Year's schedule of Shaw Brothers Cinemas." Wang Jing replied and suddenly reacted: "You haven't answered what I'm doing here today?" ”。

"Oh...... I'm in a panic today, and I just got here, so I thought you would take me to visit the inside of the wireless, what? Is it convenient? ”。

"Hi...... What a big deal! Follow me......" Wang Jing said and walked towards the TVB building.

The two walked inside, Wang Jing gave Chen Yongren a detailed introduction to the situation of various departments, and introduced Chen Yongren to a few acquaintances he met on the road, including those who have become famous and those who have not become famous, such as Nicholas Tse's father Xie Xian, and the future TV strong woman Le Yiling......

"This is the famous wireless artist training class, such as Chow Yun-fat, Chen Yulian and the current wireless five tiger generals, the director of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the director of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Lin Lingdong and others, all came out of here." Wang Jing stopped, Chen Yongren had been in a very flat mood before, and when he heard this, he had a trace of interest, because he had also thought about participating in this training class when he first woke up.
