Li Lecheng is also lucky, "Ming Pao" just cut a batch of novels that hit the street, and "Eight Immortals Restaurant" was taken by the editor-in-chief as soon as it arrived, and he felt extremely excited, so he directly cut the queue and asked him to report it as soon as possible, but after all, the length is short, 5000 words at a time, and the seven issues will be gone, which is enough for a week!

Li Lecheng was just here to try his luck on Wednesday and go to the guard room to see if there was any response.

He didn't even write a phone number for the sake of secrecy! But in this day and age, it's not surprising to send letters without writing phone calls.

"Uncle, I'm looking for my letter."

Uncle Janiss, who was very sleepy, waved his hand casually, indicating that he knew.

There are many Shaw Brothers stars, and it is normal for fans to send letters and gifts, but most celebrities will not accept this kind of letters, and those who really have correspondence with them will directly write the address on the dormitory door number or office department, so it doesn't matter if these letters are lost.

There are only some young and unknown actors who still dream, longing for what fan letters, and there are still people who like them...... These letters can only be left at the doorman's side and cleaned regularly. Li Lecheng has been living for a while, and he is very clear about this, so he wrote and sent it here.

Li Lecheng flipped through it casually, but he didn't want to really see a letter with "Anonymous Mr./Ms. Receiving" in the top stack, so he smiled and quietly took it away.

"The manuscript fee is 1,750 yuan, which is 50 yuan per thousand words, wow, more than expected...... However, I heard that Ming Pao pays less to ordinary people than other places...... Forget it, who made it have a large circulation! ”

Li Lecheng happily took out the cash: if in the future, it will be a bank card, which is so easy to hide.

Then he also found a handwritten letter, and after reading it, he laughed to the effect: Ask him if his real pen name is called anonymous? In order to avoid ambiguity, they will go out of their way to state that the author's pseudonym is "anonymous"; I also asked if there were any other manuscripts, and I could consider opening a special serialization for him, and it would be best if he could receive the letter and interview Mingbao later, and he could pay more for the next one.

"What a special serialization! Urban legend! Hmph, I don't have that time to spare! Li Lecheng shook his head, decided not to respond, stuffed the cash in his pocket, and thought about it but it was not safe, what if people were afraid of legal problems and did not register? But if you're really afraid, then why do you send him the manuscript fee?

"Forget it, you can't bet on what they think." Li Lecheng hesitated for a moment, then went to the printing shop to type a letter, only saying that the manuscript fee had been received, but the interview was waived.

But he didn't want to, people were bolder than him, when Li Lecheng was reading the newspaper on Wednesday morning, he almost squirted out a mouthful of soy milk when he was eating breakfast in the cafeteria: I will see the newspaper today?!

But he forgot that this was an era of rushing to grab money. There is no computer network to check plagiarism, and there are many copies of the article, and "Eight Immortals Restaurant's Human Meat Barbecued Pork Bun" is so exciting, the stalk is so straightforward, and all kinds of details are localized, it must be a story with a local background, if it is copied, it is impossible for the original work to be not famous, and many people must have seen it.

He looked at the newspaper with a confused expression on his face, and re-read the novel, and a sense of unreality came to him. But it's good that I can use it.

Chu Yuan happened to come over to buy breakfast and go home to eat, and when he saw Li Lecheng, he immediately came over and said, "There's news!" Man found! ”

"Huh?"

"I mean Gui Zhihong! He...... It's miserable! Huh! ”

……

Li Lecheng has always felt that he is very unlucky, he has not realized his dream, but he doesn't want to, fate is also quite unfair to many people who realize their value in his opinion.

Hearing what happened to Gui Dao after immigrating, he was also embarrassed.

He put the Ming Pao newspaper in his backpack and left the canteen to go to work at the HK Phil, with the production plan he had prepared.

Today's arrangement is to go to work in the morning and see Shi Nansheng in the afternoon.

……

Shi Nansheng had given him a business card before, so he and she had already spoken on the phone, and when he arrived at the film studio on time, Shi Nansheng quickly came out and brought him into the office, but it was not her office, but Xu Ke's office.

He was also given a cup of coffee.

"Sit, Lok...... I heard you signed Shaw Brothers? Xu Ke asked knowingly, he was curious: "Why?" We actually have the intention to sign you, and if you finish writing a few days later, you will be our actor. Now you are in the same situation as Miss Wang! ”

He felt that Li Lecheng was a person who could talk to him intellectually, so he was also very friendly and casual to Li Lecheng.

Although Li Lecheng is practical, it is only a little practical, but the husband and wife like it personally, and it does not mean that it has commercial value. So there is no fate, and they are not much of a pity. Anyway, after the discontinuation of the Shaw Brothers, it is almost an air, and this kind of little actor can be used casually.

Shi Nansheng pursed his lips and snickered: "The heroine Wang Zuxian we used before was also from Shaw Brothers." ”

Li Lecheng also half-joked: "I heard that when a Shaw Brothers actor has a free dormitory to live in, he can't pay the rent so he signs an agreement!" And there are a lot of crews over there, so it's convenient for me to find a job! ”

The speaker had no intention, Xu Ke was stunned, and suddenly glanced at Shi Nansheng, stunned: "You don't want to chase Wang Zuxian for the sake of being close to the water, right?" ”

When Li Lecheng heard this, he was instantly shocked: "Why should I chase her?!" Just because she also lives in a Shaw dormitory?! But I haven't met her since I went in! I've only seen her mother! ”

"Huh." Xu Ke.

The more he described, the darker it became, Li Lecheng simply didn't say anything, he took out a copy of Ming Pao, a copy of the full text of the novel, a power of attorney and the film production plan.

"I have a friend who wrote a horror thriller crime novel, which has now been published in Ming Pao, and wants to make it into a movie, and when he is overseas, he asked me to help see if he can find a film company willing to ask for it."

After that, Li Lecheng picked out the plan from it and pushed it in front of Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng.

Xu Ke took it and looked at it for five minutes, and then handed it to Shi Nansheng, who walked to the sofa next to him, took a few steps away from them, and began to pick it up and take a closer look.

Xu Ke began to read the novel with his chin curled, and said: "Novel adaptation, copyright is no problem, the original author intends to use the copyright to convert it into a 5% investment, the actual budget of the production needs 1.2 million, ready to start shooting before August, find a good location for live shooting, take part of the real scene, this can reduce the cost of setting up, the director plans to invite Gui Zhihong, the script is already in development, and the victim asks Chu Yuan to play the ...... Now, you're going to use me to invest and be an executive producer? ”

"This drama has to be earned, and it is very exciting and exciting!" Xu Ke directly assessed!

Shi Nansheng raised his head: "Well, I also think it's good, this plan is very professional, the cost accounting is very accurate, don't invite big stars, it's almost enough, Ah Lok, you wrote it?" ”

"Chu Yuan taught me," he didn't hide either: "With 1.2 million, you can convert it into 95% of the investment, I don't know how much Director Xu wants to invest?" Not higher than 50% we can all negotiate. But I want the film studio to completely take over the film, if you are willing to completely buy the copyright of the novel and this film project, it is not expensive, just give me 500,000 cash. ”

This is also what Chu Yuan taught him, and the price is very reasonable.

Director Gui's "Demon", "Evil" and "Gu" in the past few years were all three or four or five million box office, which seems to be not much, but the box office in the past few years was still good, 81's "Gu" ranked sixth with more than five million, if this drama is looking for him, regardless of the market getting bigger, it is also when there is only a box office of 5 million, then 1.7 million investment, the Hong Kong box office can also recover the cost, if you consider the expansion of the market, this film is calculated horizontally, and there may be a box office similar to "The Working Emperor".

However, Director Gui is already an "expired director", and I am afraid that the market will not recognize his set.

But......

Xu Ke read the novel very attentively, and after more than an hour, he looked up: "Wow, it's exciting!" It can be done! Especially psychological, as well as ...... Open-ended ending? I didn't say if he was the only one to kill him...... Or we can shoot without shooting the murder shot, and come out to the scene of the last dead body. "He's already had a lot of ideas.

"Although we have the right to make films, Lei Sheng also has a quota for the budget we have, we just filmed "The Working Emperor", before the movie goes out on the street to collect the money, the following film plans cannot be officially launched, we can only make scripts, only if we make a profit, the more funds we use freely, the more you can use the amount of funds, we can only give 500,000 for this play." Shi Nansheng frowned, "Let's be simple, how about 500,000 yuan converted into a 40% investment ratio?" ”

Xu Ke also looked at Li Lecheng: "If I am the producer......"
