Chapter 128: White Night Walk
The Japanese hated the Americans, but they hated the author Liu Hongmin even more. However, they searched for several days but could not find the man named Yamashita Changchuan.
Obviously, this is a fake name.
At this time, they still realized that the book was written by a Chinese.
Although there are many people in China, they did not stay there for very long. Those who came back have not watched the Chinese version of "Lies", and those who have watched the Chinese version of "Lies" have not returned yet.
In this situation, an interesting thing happened.
The Japanese thought they were poisoned by Ito Hirobumi, so many decided to read other books to cleanse their souls. They were afraid of repeating the mistakes of Ito Hirobumi, so they turned their attention to novels with a more entertainment-oriented style. For a time, the sales of pure love novels, suspense novels, and pornographic novels increased a lot.
At this time, a novel called "White Night Walk" appeared in front of them. This suspense novel from Hong Kong resonated with many Japanese.
The 60 years of chaos in Hong Kong reminded them of the unbearable years after the war. At that time, human life was really worthless, and people would do anything to survive. If the heroine of "White Night Walk" was placed in that time, she would probably become a woman who served their American father's soldiers.
However, the American soldier is very generous, and the girl will definitely not need to be forced like the heroine in "White Night Walk". She will take the initiative to become a woman for money.
The male protagonist helped the female protagonist to kill people one after another, which did not make the little devils feel uncomfortable, but they understood it very much. This deformed love was very much in line with the taste of the little devils, and even made them feel that this was true love.
The Japanese have a very contradictory view of love, they like pure love but also like perversion, just like their personality, they can be honest and decent but also insidious and cunning.
Therefore, both the plot and the three views contained in "White Night Walk" are very much in line with the appetite of the Japanese devils.
With the remaining poison of Ito Hirobumi eliminated, the sales of White Night Journey continued to rise. In less than ten days, one million copies were sold, and the momentum is not slowing down.
Sanlian Publishing House does not have as strong a channel as Random House, and it only cooperates with a local publishing house, so its distribution ability is far inferior to that of Random House. However, Random House's strategy is to make a quick buck, after all, "Ito Hirobumi" is a consumable product and will definitely be banned by the devils.
"White Night Walk" is different, it is a work that can last for a long time. As generations of Japanese grow up, it can sell for a hundred years if nothing unexpected happens.
Sanlian Publishing House did not expect that "White Night Walk" would become popular because of the backlash of "Ito Hirobumi". If the Japanese knew that these two books were actually written by the same person, what would they think?
You know, "Lies" is only called "Ito Hirobumi" in the Japanese, and it is called "Lies" everywhere else. Once the Japanese know about it, it may directly affect the sales of "White Night Walk".
With concerns, Sanlian Publishing House had to speed up the delivery.
In this way, in less than ten days, another million copies were sold.
Yang Guiren was so happy that he almost lost his mind. Regardless of the expensive phone bill, the first thing he did after getting the sales data every day was to call Liu Hongmin.
Liu Hongmin is not as idle as him. He is very busy every day. The preparatory office temporarily stopped its activities due to funding issues. Professor Tao finally had some free time and started to work on a modern history project with Liu Hongmin. There are so many historical materials on modern history that the two of them alone cannot handle it. So Professor Tao reached a cooperation with Professor Zhu, who teaches modern history, and asked Professor Zhu's students to come and help. The price was that Liu Hongmin had to donate a photocopier to the modern history major.
Liu Hongmin's clever way of gathering information was praised by Professor Tao, and soon spread throughout Beijing University and even other universities in Beijing.
However, a copier costs several thousand dollars, which is difficult for individuals to afford.
The school’s funding is very tight, so why would it buy a photocopier specifically for the purpose of compiling information?
Now that Professor Tao had something to ask for, how could Professor Zhu miss this opportunity to blackmail him? Of course, he was just asking for too much, his real purpose was to borrow Liu Hongmin's copier.
Unexpectedly, Liu Hongmin was rich and generous, so he agreed without even bargaining for the price.
How could he know that Liu Hongmin had made tens of millions of dollars from the Japanese, so how could he care about a few thousand yuan?
It just so happened that he also wanted to replace the copier. The old one at home had been used for several years and often had problems. Professor Zhu just wanted it, so he paid some money, replaced some parts, and sent it to Peking University.
Thanks to his younger classmates who studied modern history compiling the information, Liu Hongmin finally had some free time.
Ma Weidu is currently writing the fifth part of Justice Bao and has reached the revision stage. After writing the fourth part of Justice Bao, he is much more familiar with it, but there are still some flaws that need to be checked by Liu Hongmin.
Therefore, in his spare time, Liu Hongmin would also revise the manuscript for Ma Weidu. He planned to go to Hong Kong in May and bring the manuscript of "Justice Bao" with him.
"Chinatown Detective" has also finished filming and has entered the post-production stage, which is expected to be completed by the end of April. Liu Hongmin needs to take a look first and confirm that there are no problems before it can be released in the summer season.
Xu Xiaoming has already brought people to the mainland, but not to Beijing, but to the south.
He is filming "The Little Monk", which will take about two or three months. It is precisely because he has no time for post-production that Liu Hongmin is needed to control the quality of "Chinatown Detective".
After returning from Hong Kong, Liu Hongmin also needed to go to Pengcheng to check out the toy factory. He had never been there once since the toy factory was built, which was really incompetent of him.
He has reached a cooperation with Beijing Animation Studio on the Transformers cartoon. They are designing characters and scenes. There are dozens of Transformers characters, and each character needs at least six to eight original drawings of the front, back, side, and oblique sides. Not to mention the scenes, which may be as many as hundreds, and even one scene may require three to five drawings, because sometimes a close-up is required.
Only when these are fully prepared can we start making cartoons. This is just the picture, and other dubbing, background sound, interlude, opening and ending songs all need to be produced by someone.
The key is, can domestic composers create music with a sense of science fiction?
After all, there are very few science fiction books in China, and even if there are, people don't take them seriously. After all, science fiction works need national strength to support them. In this era, only science fiction works from the United States and the Soviet Union can convince people.
