After looking for Boss Zou, the matter of the venue was quickly solved, it seems that sometimes things are difficult or not to depend on the person, and the difficult thing for himself can be solved by changing two phone calls.

Then Wang and Li went to Cathay Pacific Airways to discuss the rent, but the trouble was that the rent was much more expensive than originally expected, but the two had no bargaining capital, so they could only pinch their noses and admit it.

"What now? The budget is not enough. Wang Jin was dumbfounded.

"How much is missing?" Li Xuechu gritted his teeth and asked.

"There is still some money for filming, but I still have to do post-production and soundtrack...... At least another 50,000 will have to be added, and no matter how little, you won't even have to do it later. Wang Jin said with the math.

"Fifty thousand?" Fortunately, I can afford it, but Li Xuechu's family is hollowed out. "I'll figure it out, I should be able to take it out, and you can save some flowers for the rest, and if you have more, it will be gone."

Wang Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and then patted his chest: "Guarantee no problem, don't worry, I have a hunch that our movie will definitely make money." ”

"I hope so." Li Xuechu is actually more optimistic about the prospects, but no one can really rest assured when the movie is not released.

Two days later, the drunken hero filmed by the Hong family class was finished, and Wang Li and the two went to the banquet as promised. In the Chinese circle, the wine table is a very important occasion for communication, Li Xuechu finally recognized all the members of the Hong family class in turn, Lin Zhengying, Yuan Biao, Yuan Hua (the charter man in Kung Fu, and now he is still an employee of the Shaw Brothers), Yuan Qiu (the charter wife in Kung Fu), Chen Long (originally wrote Jackie Chan as Chen Long, but there was also a Chen Long in the Hong family class)...... There is also a noon code that I knew before.

The finale banquet of the martial arts team is also simple, everyone eats and drinks together, Li Xuechu was gently let go at a young age, Wang Jin was drunk, and was scolded by Wang Tianlin after going back.

In the next few days, Li Xuechu followed the crew to shoot during the day and write at night. The big talk king was almost finished serialized in Ming Pao, and Li Xuechu also handed over the manuscript of the killer Leon, with a total of more than 120,000 words, and got almost 10,000 yuan, and gave Wang Jin 50,000 yuan with the original deposit, and he became completely destitute.

The filming process of the movie went quite smoothly, and it will be completed in two days. At that time, Wang and Li planned to invite back the members of the Hong family's class. The post-editing and soundtrack were also contacted in advance, because Wang Jin was a relational household, and the soundtrack requirements of this movie were not high, so in the end, they saved thousands of dollars, and the two planned to spend all of them on the finale banquet, which could be regarded as winning over people's hearts.

Today, Xu Fei came to the door, and Li Xuechu took a half-day off, anyway, he is the most dispensable person in the crew, so there is nothing to worry about.

"Unexpected," Xu Fei said with a smile, "It's not long since you came to Xiangjiang, and you made such a big splash at the beginning of school, it seems that you can eat anywhere." ”

"Hehe, just play around, how can it be like what you say." Having said that, Li Xuechu was still quite complacent in his heart, and his mouth involuntarily cracked.

"Alright, let's get down to business." Xu Fei said this, but his face showed a little embarrassment: "That's the case, the novels you wrote before were very popular after being serialized in the newspaper, can you write more comedy novels and the like in the future?" ”

Li Xuechu was a little surprised and asked, "What's the matter, is the manuscript I handed in this time not popular?" ”

Although others don't know, Li Xuechu himself knows that his works are actually plagiarized, but now the original work has not come out, and he seems to be a little less confident when he speaks.

"Is there anything wrong with my work this time?"

"No, no," Xu Fei said busily, "Actually, the work you wrote this time seems to me to be the best among the few you have written now, and the writing has also improved very significantly, and the most admirable thing is the romantic feelings in the work, I really didn't expect a gunfight action novel to be written like this, I can't help but want to see what the movie adapted from this novel will look like." At the beginning of my studies, you were really the most talented novelist I knew. ”

"Hehe," Li Xuechu smiled proudly, and then asked strangely, "What's the problem then?" Does it mean that my novel is unhealthy in my mind or something? ”

The Lolita complex in the killer Leon can't be covered up, it's still the eighties, not to mention that the cultural atmosphere in the East is more conservative than in the West, and it's normal for some people to look at it unpleasantly, and it is estimated that there are still a lot of people. You must know that after the broadcast of this movie in 94, there are still a lot of people who are shouting about bad morals and morals, and inciting the media to demand that he be banned, let alone now?

Xu Fei smiled: "This is also a problem, the newspaper has also received a lot of protest emails, but the main thing is not this, after all, the overall environment of the novel is still much more relaxed than the movie, that is, there are many themes of same-surname love and sexual (river crab) violence, although there are many people who scold, but most of them can be published except for those that are too explicit." ”

"It's mainly a matter of reader acceptance." Xu Fei continued, "The articles serialized in the newspaper are actually mainly casual articles, such as martial arts novels, as well as the comedy novels you wrote before are also very popular, and the literary ones are not liked by too many people. Like the killer Leon you wrote this time, the diversion of readers is very strict, and some readers wrote protest emails to the newspaper, saying that such novels should not be serialized, so as not to teach bad children. There are also a lot of readers who think it's the best novel you've ever written, and I think so too. However, there are many more readers who write to me, and I hope you will write more comedy novels. ”

Li Xuechu was surprised: "Why is this happening, since I think it's a good novel, how can so many people not like it." ”

Xu Fei was a little ashamed, the editors of Ming Pao, who were full of literati, still preferred literary and artistic works, but they still had the largest readers when they ran a newspaper. Readers' preferences dictate the choice of newspaper publishers.

"In fact, the works serialized in the newspaper are mainly leisure-oriented, and those who like literature will buy books or literary periodicals, like your previous works, they look relaxed, and they don't have to worry about it, and readers like it very much. The more suitable channel for your work is actually to publish a book, and I estimate that the sales of this work will not be bad, but the number of words is a little less. Of course, there will be many people who like it if it is serialized, but the relative number of people who like comedy novels is relatively small. ”

Li Xuechu understood, in fact, more readers don't care about reading literature, but light-hearted and funny stories, which may be the case if you are also an office worker.

"Okay, when this serialization is over, I'll continue to write comedy novels." Li Xuechu said helplessly.

"Hehe, in fact, this kind of work can also be written, but it's best to write it every few issues, so that it won't have any impact" Xu Fei saw his depression and encouraged: "Our Ming Pao Evening News has now sold more than 150,000, reaching 170,000 at the peak. ”

Li Xuechu liked this and hurriedly asked, "How much does that go up?" ”

"Ninety or a hundred, maybe a thousand words, right? Mr. Cha will come to talk to you in a few days. Xu Fei was slightly embarrassed, after all, Jin Yong's stinginess is well-known in Xiangjiang, and if he changed the newspaper company, the newspaper would have been more than 100 years old.

"Oh." Li Xuechu was slightly disappointed.

Sent Xu Fei away, Li Xuechu returned to the room and stuffed the half-written "Soul Catcher" into the drawer, even "Killer Leon" was said to be more literary, this will definitely not be liked by anyone, it is better to publish the book directly in the future, it may not be suitable to serialize it in newspapers and magazines.

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, the killer Leon was actually disliked?

Depressed......
