On the eve of this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, "Notes on Tomb Robbery" happened to be serialized to the protagonist and others entering the tomb of King Lu Yan, and readers were fascinated by the suspenseful and wonderful stories.

After the 70s, there are only two kinds of popular novels in Hong Kong, one is the martial arts novel represented by Jin Yong, and the other is the romance novel represented by Yishu.

In addition to these two novels, Ni Frame's science fiction novels are a special case, so after Jin Yong sealed his pen and Yi Shu entered politics, the Hong Kong novel industry was almost dominated by Ni Frame. Even Wen Ruian, who came to Hong Kong from Taiwan, has far less influence in Hong Kong than Ni Frame, and it can be said that it is completely lower.

Ni Box has been able to become popular for more than 20 years, relying on nothing more than two points, never dragging out more diligence and unique style.

But now, Ni Frame has obviously gone downhill, because his science fiction is known for adventure and suspense, and at the end of each story, the mystery revealed is: This thing is an alien!

No matter what bizarre foreshadowing and suspense there is, an alien can explain all the doubts in the ending, and now readers are tired of seeing it.

"Notes on Tomb Robbery", like the previous "Searching for Qin", is the main reason why it is sought after by readers is that it is different from other novels of the same period. Although "Looking for Qin" crosses, it still does not leave the category of martial arts, while "Notes on Tomb Robbery" completely jumps out of the trap of martial arts, and like Ni Frame's "Wesley", the main focus is suspense and adventure.

Hong Kong people are superstitious, and the box office of ghost zombie movies has always been higher than that of science fiction movies. Apparently more popular with Hong Kong readers than the sci-fi of Wesley.

When "Notes on Tomb Robbery" first started to be serialized, some people were still reading newspapers from their units, colleagues, and friends, and these people were not hardcore fans of Kang Jianfei. Most of them watching "Notes on Tomb Robbery" are influenced by the people around them.

And when the story developed to the plot of the tomb of King Luyan, these people finally couldn't wait, and in order to be able to see the content of the day's serialization for the first time, they ran to buy a copy of "Oriental Daily".

……

In order to facilitate filming, Lin Xue is now renting an apartment in the residential area of Tseung Kwan O Film and Television City. He is now a contracted actor of Oriental Entertainment Company, but unfortunately he can only play some small supporting roles, and he is not even qualified to buy a house at a low price in the residential area of the film and television city.

Go downstairs to the newsstand. Lin Xue shouted: "Boss, a copy of Oriental Daily." ”

"Sold out." The old man who sold the newspaper looked at Ming Pao without raising his head.

Wang Jing came out of the apartment building opposite with a bag and said to the newsstand owner with a smile: "Abel." What about my newspaper? ”

"Take it yourself." The old man pointed to the small bench next to him.

Wang Jing bent down to pick up two newspapers and left, and Lin Xue saw the words "Oriental Daily" on the masthead.

"Hey, why don't you sell me any newspapers, didn't Wang Jing take a copy just now?" Lin Xue said with some unhappiness.

The old man glanced up at Lin Xue: "His share has been booked a long time ago." I'd like to see it again tomorrow. I bought 50 more copies, and in the past two days, I have bought more and more Oriental Daily. ”

Lin Xue left the newsstand depressed, he was busy running tricks before, and he had only heard that "Notes on Tomb Robbery" was very good, but he had never seen it. As a result, the agent called early in the morning, saying that he wanted him to familiarize himself with "Tomb Robbery Notes", and then go to the special effects company to meet Kang Jianfei.

An actor of Lin Xue's level is not valued by the company at all. His agent only calls him when he needs a trick actor, and what packaging, publicity, and hype have nothing to do with a third-rate actor like him. That's at least the treatment that only first-line artists have.

Lin Xue still remembered what the agent said on the phone ten minutes ago: "Fat boy, Mr. Kang wants to see you by name this time, you have to seize the opportunity." I heard that Mr. Kang's new film is related to "Notes on Tomb Robbery", and you may be asked to play an important supporting role, so you'd better familiarize yourself with this novel before you go to meet Mr. Kang......"

Kang Jianfei summoned him in the afternoon, and Lin Xue went back to find the newsstand owner, but the old newspapers were all bought. He remembered that in the crew of the past few days, there were several actors who had watched "Notes on Tomb Robbery", and he might be able to talk to them.

trotted all the way to the TV crew on the antique street of the film and television city, and the assistant director who knew Lin Xue saw him coming, and immediately beckoned to him: "Fat boy, you came just in time, I have a role that lacks actors, you can top it." ”

Lin Xue said with a smile: "Director Zhang, you command." ”

"What you want to play is the follower of the villain Ershizu, the second ancestor is flirting with the folk girl and is encountered by the male protagonist, and you will go to the ...... when there is a fight If you figure it out, you go over to put on makeup and change clothes. The assistant choreographer suddenly turned his head and shouted, "Hey, don't put that little stall there, it's going to put a camera!" ”

Lin Xue was put on a hair cover in a daze, and then changed into the costume of a housekeeper, and sat on the side to listen to the hair. There was a person sitting on the steps next to him who was also wearing a coarse cloth costume, it seemed that he should play a role like passer-by, Lin Xue vaguely remembered that this person's name was Cheng Jiaquan, and the two had played dead bodies together.

"Ah Quan, what about watching "Notes on Tomb Robbery"?" Lin Xue glanced at the newspaper in the other party's hand.

Cheng Jiaquan raised his head when he heard this, and also recognized Lin Xue, and said in surprise: "Didn't you sign a long-term contract with the brokerage company, why did you come back to play tricks?" ”

"I was caught by Director Zhang for a scene," Lin Xue explained slightly, and asked, "Ah Quan, is "Notes on Tomb Robbery" good-looking?" A lot of people have been reading this novel lately. ”

Cheng Jiaquan was excited as soon as he mentioned the novel: "Why is it not good-looking? It's so good-looking, after reading this novel, I know that digging graves is called inverted buckets, touching gold, zombies are called zongzi, and I'm afraid of black donkey hooves, just one word: professional! ”

"What's in it?" Lin Xue asked curiously.

"I'll tell you......"

Cheng Jiaquan had just started his words, and the assistant choreographer shouted: "Ah Quan, fat boy, you two come here!" ”

When the lunch box was distributed at noon, Lin Xue finally had the opportunity to talk to Cheng Jiaquan again: "Ah Quan, have you read the "Oriental Daily", I want to read the "Tomb Robbery Notes" from the beginning." ”

"Keep them all. In my home. Cheng Jiaquan said.

"I'll give you 100 yuan, how about you sell it to me?" Lin Xue said.

Cheng Jiaquan reached out and touched Lin Xue's forehead: "You don't have a fever, right?" ”

"Sell it or not, you give a word." Lin Xue slapped his hand away.

Cheng Jiaquan smiled: "Sell." Fools don't sell it, wait for me to bring the crew to you tomorrow. ”

"I'm going to do it right away." Lin Xue said.

Cheng Jiaquan shook his head again and again: "I still have a play in the afternoon." ”

"If you can't delay, go and come back quickly." Lin Xue said anxiously.

Cheng Jiaquan laughed and said: "You kid has a problem, explain it honestly, otherwise I won't sell you the newspaper." ”

Lin Xue had no choice but to lean into his ear and said, "I'm going to see Mr. Kang in the afternoon, and my agent asked me to familiarize myself with "Notes on Tomb Robbery", you know...... Don't tell anyone about it. ”

Cheng Jiaquan instantly came to his senses: "Okay." You kid...... Ah no, fat brother, if you are developed in the future. But don't forget my little brother. ”

"No problem," Lin Xue patted her chest and said, "You can read the newspaper ......"

Cheng Jiaquan threw away the lunch box: "Let's go, I'll go back and get it immediately." ”

Lin Xue spent two hours. Read the content of the novel that has been serialized. When he ran to see Kang Jianfei. The news that Kang Jianfei is going to shoot "Notes on Tomb Robbery" has spread all over a certain crew.

After seeing Kang Jianfei, Lin Xue honestly stood there and listened to Faluo, only to hear Kang Jianfei ask, "Have you read all the novels?" ”

Lin Xue nodded heavily: "I've seen it, I watch it every day." ”

Kang Jianfei looked at his body shape and said, "You play the fat man in it, eat more during this time, I hope the movie starts when it starts." You can gain at least 20 pounds. ”

"Notes on Tomb Robbery" has been serialized here, and the importance of the role of Wang Fatzi has not yet been reflected. So Lin Xue didn't know that he was the second male lead in this series of movies, but he was just a male supporting actor with a heavier role.

However, Lin Xue was already very satisfied with this, Kang Jianfei's personal summoning was enough to show that this role was very important, he nodded happily and said: "Mr. Kang, don't worry, I promise to gain 20 pounds!" ”

"That's it, I'll let you give you the script in a few days." Kang Jianfei waved his hand and said.

Lin Xue understood that Kang Jianfei was driving people away, so she said goodbye and left with interest.

Kang Jianfei stayed in the model warehouse for a while, and then returned to his office. Although the special effects model has not been completed yet, there is nothing Kang Jianfei can do, and the rest will naturally be completed.

The next thing Kang Jianfei has to do is to build a model of the interior of the tomb in the studio, which is a big project that will take at least a month or two.

Now that the studio is being cleaned up, and some materials have been transported in, Kang Jianfei officially began to organize and build after preparing for the Academy Awards ceremony.

After the tomb model was built on track, Kang Jianfei had to go to the mainland to select a site for filming, although the interior shooting of the tomb can rely on the scene, but the exterior scene must be shot on the spot to have the best effect.

After returning to the office, Kang Jianfei began to look at the design of the studio, which was made by the set designer of DreamWorks, and Kang Jianfei didn't understand it for a long time.

When it was almost time to get off work, Li Meifeng came in with Wen Jiàn to report on her work and Kang Jianfei's schedule in the past few days.

Kang Jianfei doesn't like meaningless entertainment, everything that can be pushed off is pushed away, and it is more important to basically participate in the Academy Awards ceremony in the remaining days.

Li Meifeng hesitated when she left, then turned around and said, "Brother Fei, Miss Zhou Huimin invited you to dinner, saying that she was grateful to you for writing songs for her." ”

"Zhou Huimin?" Kang Jianfei couldn't help but smile when he heard this name, and said, "Let her wait for me at home tomorrow, and I'll drive to pick her up." ”

Li Meifeng felt jealous in her heart when she heard this, she knew that her boss and lover was going to be distracted again.

Kang Jianfei walked over and patted Li Meifeng's buttocks: "You little goblin, you can't feed you every day, what kind of flying vinegar do you eat here?" Get down! ”

"Bad guys!" Li Meifeng blushed and scolded with a smile, and then obediently lay on the desk, her beautiful buttocks raised high were extremely tempting, swaying from side to side to wait for the man's favor.

Just when the two were upside down, several newspapers in Hong Kong received news that Kang Jianfei's new film had been confirmed, and the most popular novel "Notes on Tomb Robbery" was going to be put on the big screen. (To be continued......)
