Chapter 77 The Most Beautiful Mount Wutai
However, after arriving in Hong Kong, Liu Hongmin realized that it was not easy to break into Hong Kong's film and television industry.
Huang Qiang called Luo Baoming and Yang Guiren, and the four parties sat down again to discuss the promotion of "Judge Bao".
Liu Hongmin told Luo Baoming and Yang Guiren about the situation of Justice Bao. They both took a copy of the manuscript and read it for a while, and agreed with what Liu Hongmin said. With the previous two collaborations, Liu Hongmin did not hide anything and said directly: "RTV will benefit the most this time, but you two will definitely get some benefits."
Luo Baoming glanced at Zou Shifang, and then said: "Mr. Liu, the royalties for Justice Bao won't be too high. The story is not strong, and the author is not famous..."
Liu Hongmin waved his hand, "I know that. I won't insist on a fee of 70 Hong Kong dollars per thousand words. But just the three words 'Judge Bao' will attract many readers to buy newspapers. So, too little won't work. You can discuss it with Mr. Jin Yong. It can't be less than 30 Hong Kong dollars per thousand words."
Luo Baoming nodded, "No problem, I will talk to Mr. Jin Yong."
Yang Guiren didn't have so many questions. "Let's follow the royalty rate for less than one package!"
"Sure!" Liu Hongmin did not raise the price. "Justice Bao" could only be sold in Hong Kong, and making money from it would be a pleasant surprise.
Yang Guiren also glanced at Zou Shifang and put forward an idea.
"If we hide Mr. Zou's identity, we may be able to sell Justice Bao to Green Island."
Everyone looked at Zou Shifang. If his identity was hidden, the commercial value of "Judge Bao" would increase a lot.
Huang Qiang also advised: "If that's the case, we might be able to find an actor from Green Island to play Justice Bao."
Zou Shifang frowned slightly, but soon relaxed his brows again, "I'm fine."
Liu Hongmin shook his head, "It's not a good idea to do this. He still has other novels to write in the future and can't deceive his readers."
Yang Guiren said: "We just don't reveal Mr. Zou's identity, so many people will mistakenly think that the author of Justice Bao is from Hong Kong. They are wrong, it has nothing to do with us."
"If that's the case, then it's OK."
So, a few people discussed the details and then went their separate ways.
Zou Shifang followed Huang Qiang. As the author of the original novel, he was also the consultant for Justice Bao. A month ago, Huang Qiang came back from Beijing and started preparing for the filming of Justice Bao. He had already achieved a lot and needed Zou Shifang to go over and take a look.
Liu Hongmin went to the studio. Since he was in Hong Kong, he had to meet his two "little brothers".
Soon, he saw Zhou Xingxing, who had already played a minor role, chatting with a girl in the waiting room. The girl was pretty and Zhou Xingxing was obviously interested in her.
"The filming will start soon. Just act like this. It's not difficult. I was also an extra. You are so pretty. You will definitely become a star in the future."
The girl felt a little embarrassed by what Zhou Xingxing said, and then she saw Liu Hongmin standing in the distance looking at them, and quickly said to Zhou Xingxing: "That person is looking at us."
"Who is it?" Zhou Xingxing turned around and immediately ran over in surprise, "Mr. Liu, you are in Hong Kong?"
He was able to play a minor supporting role entirely because of Liu Hongmin. Because of his upbringing, he sometimes does things in a stubborn way and often offends people. If Huang Qiang and Xu Xiaoming hadn't given Liu Hongmin face, and He Jiajin hadn't often taken care of him, he would have been gone long ago.
Therefore, he was particularly grateful to Liu Hongmin.
Liu Hongmin raised his eyebrows, "What about dating?"
Zhou Xingxing scratched his head embarrassedly, "No, they just don't like me."
Liu Hongmin encouraged him, "Keep working hard. Once you become a big star, she will be interested in you."
"It's not about fame, it's about my bad personality."
Zhou Xingxing has a clear understanding of himself. With Liu Hongmin's support, he will become a star sooner or later. However, he is not very lucky in love, so he puts all his energy into his career.
Liu Hongmin smiled and said, "Personality can be changed!"
Zhou Xingxing smiled and didn't continue. "Mr. Liu, Aying's family situation is not very good, can you help her?"
"Aying?" Liu Hongmin was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but think of Cha Jianying.
"Lan Jieying!" Zhou Xingxing said, "Her family's financial situation is not very good, so she started working early. Now she works as a factory girl, and she works as an extra during holidays."
Liu Hongmin looked at Lan Jieying. She was the representative of the poor in Hong Kong. If she wasn't beautiful, it would be difficult for her to get ahead. However, like Zhou Xingxing, she also had personality problems. She was stubborn and tough, and was bound to run into obstacles everywhere in society.
Seeing that Liu Hongmin had no objection, Zhou Xingxing immediately waved to Lan Jieying, "Aying, come here quickly."
Lan Jieying walked over and looked at Zhou Xingxing in confusion.
Zhou Xingxing introduced: "Aying, this is Mr. Liu I told you about. I was able to gain a foothold in RTV thanks to Mr. Liu."
Lan Jieying looked at Liu Hongmin curiously, "Hello, Mr. Liu."
"Hello there!"
Liu Hongmin was also looking at Lan Jieying. He had to admit that this girl was really beautiful.
"Since you are Ah Xing's friend, you are my friend. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me. As long as I am in Hong Kong, I will definitely help you if I can."
"Thank you, Mr. Liu!"
Lan Jieying hurriedly thanked him. Although she was stubborn, she was not stupid. With the help of a noble person, she could avoid many detours in the future.
Liu Hongmin looked at Zhou Xingxing, "Where's Jin?"
"He was filming there. The station produced a modern drama and he played the role of a playboy."
Liu Hongmin shook his head slightly, "A Jin is more suitable for costume dramas."
Zhou Xingxing nodded repeatedly, "I think so too. Mr. Liu, are you coming to Hong Kong to film again this time?"
"Of course, the production this time is Justice Bao."
"Is this the story of Justice Bao when he grows up?"
"It has nothing to do with the lack of packages."
Liu Hongmin explained: "It tells the story of Justice Bao after he became an official. It is a different system from Shao Bao."
Zhou Xingxing quickly asked, "Is there a role I can play?"
"There are a lot of roles, and there should be auditions in the next few days. When the time comes, you can go directly and let Director Xu arrange it for you."
Zhou Xingxing was a little disappointed. If he wanted to ask Xu Xiaoming to arrange it, he didn't need to ask Liu Hongmin. What he meant by asking was that he wanted to play an important role and become famous in one fell swoop like He Jiajin.
Liu Hongmin saw Zhou Xingxing's disappointment and said, "Xing, you need to improve your acting skills now. Once your acting skills improve, I will help you make something big."
Zhou Xingxing's eyes lit up, "Mr. Liu, I will definitely work hard to improve my acting skills."
Lan Jieying asked at the right time: "Mr. Liu, I wonder if I can play a role?"
Zhou Xingxing also helped out, saying, "Yes! Mr. Liu, Ah Ying has been playing minor roles for several months. It is no problem for her to play some simple small roles."
Liu Hongmin nodded, "Aying's looks are very advantageous. I will discuss this with Director Xu and let you know when the time comes."
