Chapter 107: Face Cards Don't Work
With the script of "Red Fan Zone", Cheng Long couldn't wait to go to the United States to show his strength, He Guanchang persuaded him on the grounds of recuperating from his injury, and Zou Wenhuai also said that after the release of "Police Story", the box office results and audience reactions can determine the investment scale of "Red Fan Zone".
Lin Youlun only verbally described the plot story of "Red Fan District", and before seeing the real script, Zou Wenhuai was not sure whether he should carefully throw stones and ask for directions this time, or should roll up his sleeves and do a big job.
Cheng Long was impatient, so he asked Lin Youlun when the script would be written.
Lin Youlun saw that Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang were not in a hurry about this, so he deduced that the script was still just an idea, and many details needed to be polished, and even if it was written, it would be next year.
That being said, it only took Lin Youlun two days to write the script of "Red Fan Zone" after he went back, and then threw it in the drawer, and the matter came to an end.
After working at Ming Pao for more than two months, Lin Youlun had a pretty good understanding of the entire newspaper's operating system, but Jin Yong still did not arrange specific work for him, but several comments he published in Ming Pao attracted a lot of attention.
When analyzing the political and economic forms of Hong Kong and the world, Lin Youlun is good at describing and analyzing the difficult and complex economic principles in plain words, and the content of his published articles is not limited to politics and economics, but also includes ancient and modern China and foreign countries, all kinds of hobbies, what he has seen and heard, and "Kunlun" and "Sou Shen Ji" have been collected and published, which has won the reputation of "the first healthy pen in Hong Kong".
This is an honor, but because of the "good pen" and "cheap. The pronunciation of "force" is very close, which makes Lin Youlun very uninterested in this title, and he doesn't even allow people around him to mention it.
Seeing that Ming Pao was more idle than in the video hall, and that there was nothing to do in the office every day, Lin Youlun proposed to work from home, and could contact him by phone and fax for anything.
Jin Yong was very generous in this regard, and agreed to Lin Youlun's request with a stroke of the pen, and how much of this was because he "tricked" Lin Youlun to "Ming Pao" as an associate editor for so long, and he never paid Lin Youlun a penny's salary.
Take Jin Yong's words, the salary given to Lin Youlun is too low, I am sorry for his reputation as a "talented man", the salary given is too high, and the people who really do things in the newspaper will inevitably have opinions, so they simply don't send it.
In fact, this is just a prevarication, Jin Yong's "slamming the door" is well-known in the newspaper industry, and if he doesn't do anything, he wants to get a white-collar salary from him, even Lin Youlun.
There is no need to work from 9 to 5, Lin Youlun's life has become more and more leisurely, and it has become a common thing to go to bed late and get up late.
Early in the morning, when his mother knocked on the door and woke him up, Lin Youlun grabbed the alarm clock at the bedside and saw that it was only 8 o'clock, turned over and prepared to continue sleeping, and the knock on the door rang again.
Lin Youlun came over to open the door in his pajamas, and seeing how he yawned, Chen Huiqing knew that he had stayed up late last night.
"Hurry up and take a cold wash and sober up, the soup is ready, you have to send it while it's hot."
Mother's words made the second monk Lin Youlun puzzled, what kind of soup is cooked? Who else to give it while it's hot?
"Ah Hong, hasn't she been busy helping you film lately? I knew that filming was very hard, so I specially cooked soup for her. "Hong Kong people love soup the most, and almost every woman is very knowledgeable about making soup. When I go to visit someone, I carry a bowl of good soup in my hand, which is more intimate than any gift.
Lin Youlun asked about the fragrance, and ran into the kitchen with a toothbrush in his mouth. He found that in addition to the one prepared for Zhong Chuhong, there was also a soup in the casserole that had just begun to boil.
"What's going on with this?"
"When I think of Ah Hong, I think of Xiao Min again. She hasn't been a guest at our house for a long time, and I heard Xiaomin's mother say that she has been busy with work recently and can't get out, so I prepared one for her. Send it to Ah Hong in the morning and send it to Xiao Min in the afternoon, I think about it very thoughtfully, right? ”…,
"It's very thoughtful, you can think of Honggu and Xiaomin, but you forgot about your son." The toothbrush in Lin Youlun's mouth was warped when he spoke, and Chen Huiqing was worried that he would spray mouthwash into the soup pot and drive him out of the kitchen directly.
"As long as you can marry one of the two of them home, you will have soup every day in the future!"
Chen Huiqing only said a word, and Lin Youlun was defeated in an instant.
——
Lin Youlun took a taxi to the set of Jiahe's Axe Mountain Road, but stopped him at the door.
Lin Youlun is the producer of "Legend of the Night", and he often has to go in and out of the set, so Golden Harvest Company gave him a pass card, but Lin Youlun forgot about it at home when he came.
Lin Youlun identified himself to the other party, but the security guard who stopped him was very stubborn, and only said that he would not be allowed to enter without a card.
"Is it okay for me to swipe my face card?"
"I'm sorry, sir, I don't know you!"
The two couldn't hold each other, and suddenly a person came from behind and patted the security guard on the shoulder.
"Boy, you're new here, aren't you?"
The security guard turned around and respectfully shouted "Mr. Mai", but Lin Youlun couldn't remember where he had met this person, and he didn't have any impression in his mind.
The "Mr. Mai" called the security guard aside and whispered a few words in his ear, and the security guard glanced at Lin Youlun with a hesitant expression.
"If you want to stop him from entering again, don't blame me for not reminding you when you regret it in the future, he is going to the big boss's office, and the boss's secretary may not dare to stop him, what is your little security guard doing here?"
"Mr. Mai, but there are rules on the set......"
"Okay, the rules are dead, people are alive, and I won't embarrass you, this person will be regarded as if I brought it in, so it's okay, right?"
The stubborn security guard was finally persuaded that although Lin Youlun didn't know this "Mr. Mai", he would not be stingy when he helped him enter the door.
Mr. Mai replied politely: "I don't dare to take credit for this matter, mainly because Mr. Lin is too low-key on weekdays, and if he appeared more in the media, there would not be a misunderstanding like today." ”
Lin Youlun joked that it was not a good thing for him to be in the newspaper every time, so it was better to keep a low profile.
Mr. Mai saw Lin Youlun carrying a thermos box, and appeared on the set of Golden Harvest with a swagger, thinking that you are still low-key, are you brain-dead when you are an entertainment reporter outside? Of course, he wouldn't say that.
"Haven't asked Mr. Mai's name yet?" Lin Youlun felt that this Mr. Mai was not a simple person, but he couldn't guess his identity in his heart.
"Contemptible Mai Danxiong, please take care of Mr. Lin in the future!"
