Chapter 139 News
Liu Hongmin got up first, put on his clothes and left the hotel.
Watching him leave, Li Lizhen was a little unconvinced. She had always been confident in her beauty, and even compared to Lan Jieying, she was not inferior. What's more, she was not younger than Lan Jieying? Why wasn't the boss tempted?
Liu Hongmin arrived at the company and washed up in the bathroom of the office. When he was about to take a nap, Zou Shifang suddenly pushed the door and barged in.
"Red People, something happened!"
"What's the matter?" Liu Hongmin's heart tightened. It must be no small matter that could make Zou Shifang lose his composure like this.
Zou Shifang handed the newspaper to Liu Hongmin and said, "Take a look first."
Liu Hongmin opened the newspaper and found that it was about the ban on Tomorrow Film Company.
This is not the first time that the island has banned the Hong Kong film and television industry.
In September, the film "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" directed by Li Hanxiang was released, which caused a great sensation in Hong Kong. However, it was a bit unlucky. "Chinatown Detective" attracted too much attention, and it caught up with the Hong Kong dollar crisis, so it lost a lot of box office. Even so, "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" still received a lot of praise.
Especially the male and female protagonists, the choices are very suitable for the characters.
The leading actor Liang Jiahui became famous overnight, but bad news soon came. It turned out that there was a rule that any Hong Kong actor who went to the mainland to shoot a movie was not allowed to have his work shown on the island.
When the news reached Hong Kong, all the major film companies were afraid to ask Liang Jiahui to act in films. Unless Liang Jiahui wrote a "confession", he would not be able to act in films in the future.
Liang Jiahui is also tough and doesn't care about being banned. If there are no movies to shoot, he will set up a street stall to make money.
The same is true for Tomorrow Films. No matter "The Young Master", "New Shaolin Temple" or "Chinatown Detective", none of their films can be shown there. Tomorrow Films has simply given up on the island market. Isn't it okay for us not to make your share of the money?
And now you come up with this?
Liu Hongmin read the report above and found out that the reason why the island banned Tomorrow Films was that Tomorrow Films repeatedly went to the mainland to film. Liu Hongmin scoffed at this reason. The island had known about this for a long time. Why did they ban it now if they didn't ban it before?
"Have we had any conflicts with that side recently?"
Zou Shifang thought about it and said, "It seems that there is. It seems that a gang leader over there wants to acquire our company. It's called acquisition, but in fact, he just wants to spend some money to snatch the company away. Brother Wei found the Xiang family and pushed them back, and then there was no news."
"Isn't this news old?"
"You mean, which gang leader did this?"
Zou Shifang frowned, "What should we do then?"
Liu Hongmin: "Don't worry about them, we'll just do what we have to do. Just ask Brother Wei to appease the people in the company and make sure they don't take advantage of you."
"Let Brother Wei comfort you? Then what are you doing?" Zou Shifang asked puzzledly: "Hasn't the script been written yet?"
"I'm back in Beijing. Li Lizhen crawled into my bed yesterday. If I don't leave, this little girl is really going to eat me up."
Zou Shifang laughed, "That little girl is pretty, too. Since you've broken up with Aying, why don't you date another friend of yours?" "She's not even an adult yet!" Liu Hongmin glared at him, "Bring me the film of Detective, I'm leaving tomorrow."
Zou Shifang said, "It just so happens that the post-production of The Little Monk has also been completed. You can also take a copy back and see if you can sell it."
Liu Hongmin flew back to Beijing with the films of "Chinatown Detective" and "The Little Monk". He contacted China Film Group directly and sold "Detective". He received 900,000 yuan, which he donated to the Chinese Medicine Association in the name of the company.
Then he went to China Television, which really wanted to buy "The Little Monk", a very interesting TV series. However, China Television had no money.
Half of all the funding from the higher authorities this year went to film Journey to the West. Yang Jie is a very ambitious director, she wants to create a Chinese version of Journey to the West. When there is less money, she will shoot fewer episodes, and when there is more money, she will shoot more episodes. There are so many stories in Journey to the West that it would take more than a hundred episodes to finish.
The other half blamed China Media for investing in other TV series and organizing the Spring Festival Gala. After a long period of poverty, China Media wanted to organize a more glorious Spring Festival Gala.
Liu Hongmin is not sure about this. It is better not to over-entertain the Spring Festival Gala. Because everything will turn into the opposite when it reaches the extreme, and over-entertainment will definitely cause dissatisfaction among many people. In the future, the Spring Festival Gala will emphasize the educational significance, which is why it comes from this. Although the audience and artists have been criticizing the Spring Festival Gala for being not good to watch, the Spring Festival Gala has continued to do its own thing for so many years.
If there is nothing going on here, how come so many bastards are promoted to higher positions?
Liu Hongmin is still very supportive of investing in other TV series. Now that TV sets are becoming more popular, the people need more TV series. Although the cost is that the audience for movies will decrease, this is an inevitable trend of history and can force the film industry to reform. The current film industry does not conform to market rules, and the sooner it reforms, the sooner it will profit.
"Then I'll owe you that first!"
Liu Hongmin is very easy to talk to. The Little Monk has already recovered its cost in Hong Kong. Even if China Television does not pay, Liu Hongmin can let China Television broadcast it. Now is the time to increase the exposure of the Kung Fu Twins. If they can gain recognition from mainland audiences, it will be of great benefit to both the company and the Kung Fu Twins.
Director Wang was not pretentious. After all, it was not the first time that Liu Hongmin owed money, so it was no big deal if he owed it again.
Liu Hongmin kept the film of "The Little Monk" and once again declined the invitation to join the Spring Festival Gala director team.
After returning home and having dinner with his family, Liu Hongmin picked up the newspaper and started reading. He saw a newspaper in the south that reported that Tomorrow's film company was banned.
This made Liu Hongmin a little angry. Is he jumping out now?
He immediately picked up the pen and said, "Since you miss it, I will let you monitor the unbearable situation on the island." Considering the low cultural level of the people in the country and his expertise in writing suspense novels, Liu Hongmin quickly selected a TV series.
"Infiltration" tells the story of Xu Zhongyi, a waiter at the Military Control Commission store, who was influenced by our army and finally infiltrated back into the Military Control Commission, making outstanding contributions to the liberation of Fengtian.
This TV series has a strong comedic attribute, and it is not very suspenseful, so it is not brain-burning. In addition, it is full of jokes, so even the elderly and children can understand it.
Therefore, as long as this novel is written, it will definitely become a story that is suitable for all ages and will be loved by the people.
Liu Hongmin locked himself up at home and started writing the outline. The outline of "Infiltration" was easy to write, just follow the TV series. But writing this book was not easy, because Liu Hongmin needed to change his style.
The dialogues in "Infiltration" are very humorous, so a humorous tone should also be used in the writing.
