Chapter 92: The Third Trip to Hong Kong
Professor Mei looked at the 40,000 yuan on the table and sincerely said to Liu Hongmin: "Thank you!"
Liu Hongmin waved his hand and said to Ma Weidu: "You will help here for the next few days. If you have any difficulties, please inform me in time."
"no problem!"
Ma Weidu readily agreed. Although he could not contribute money, he could still lend a hand.
"Professor Mei, I have some things to do at school, so I'll leave first."
The final exam is coming soon, and Liu Hongmin needs to prepare seriously. This semester, he is studying the history of the Qing Dynasty, mainly the "Draft History of Qing Dynasty". Because most of the compilers are traditional people, they have slandered Ge Min. Because they have used their minds in the wrong way, the "Draft History of Qing Dynasty" is not compiled rigorously, and there are many mistakes in the years, months, facts, names, and place names.
However, as part of the official history, the textbook must focus on it. This put Liu Hongmin in a difficult position, as he had collected many ancient books from the Qing Dynasty, and the contents in them were very different from the Draft History of Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, in order to pass the exam, Liu Hongmin had to clear his mind and absorb the knowledge from the "Draft History of Qing Dynasty" in order to cope with the exam.
You know, there are a lot of people watching him in school. If he fails the exam, they will have an excuse to deal with him.
As for the content of the exam, that is an issue of education reform and is not something Liu Hongmin can touch upon.
Before the exam, He Qizhi made a sudden visit.
"Hongmin, we are going to hold a symposium for Ming Dynasty. You must attend."
Liu Hongmin waved his hands quickly, "Don't—"
He Qizhi said: "The response to "Da Ming" is so enthusiastic, and it has been endorsed by the higher-ups. If you just hold a symposium, your status will be greatly improved."
Liu Hongmin said speechlessly: "Teacher He, are you a little anxious? Only half of the novel has been published, and the other half will be published after the Chinese New Year!"
"Of course we know. Isn't the Chinese New Year coming soon? Everyone will have a holiday, and after the Chinese New Year we still have to review manuscripts and prepare for the first issue. So, we want to take advantage of this period of time to settle this matter first and plan it as early as possible to avoid being in a hurry and making mistakes."
"Okay! If I have time, I will definitely participate."
Contemporary also had good intentions, so Liu Hongmin couldn't refuse. As for whether to participate, it would depend on whether he had time.
Liu Hongmin had just finished his exam when he received a letter from Zou Shifang from Hong Kong. The letter mentioned three things, but it actually said one thing, which was to ask Liu Hongmin to go to Hong Kong as soon as possible.
The first thing is that the second part of Justice Bao has been written, and RTV wants to buy it as soon as possible to make a TV series. The copyright of Justice Bao is in the hands of Liu Hongmin. If Liu Hongmin does not go to Hong Kong, Huang Qiang will have to leave for Beijing.
The second thing is that "The Young Master" has completed post-production and is scheduled to be released on January 1. As the big boss and screenwriter, Liu Hongmin should personally review the film to avoid any mistakes. "The Young Master" is a co-production between China and other places and may be released in mainland China in the future.
The third thing is that Sanlian Publishing House is very interested in "The Ming Dynasty 1566" and wants to discuss publishing matters with Liu Hongmin.
If it was just one incident, Liu Hongmin would not want to go to Hong Kong. He could solve the problem by asking Huang Qiang, Zou Shifang and Yang Guiren to come to Beijing.
Zou Shifang listed so many things in the letter. Liu Hongmin guessed that Zou Shifang might have encountered something, so he wanted him to go to Hong Kong so urgently.
After telling his parents, Liu Hongmin immediately took Chen Yu to Hong Kong.
Zou Shifang was very happy about Liu Hongmin's arrival. He did encounter some troubles. It turned out that many women wanted to seduce him after knowing that he was the financial manager of a film and television company. Zou Shifang was married, so he avoided these women.
However, he often needs to come into contact with these women during work. He asked Wang Yaowei, but Wang Yaowei told him that it was just a casual affair and nothing serious. Liu Hongmin couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
After laughing, Liu Hongmin gave Zou Shifang a thumbs up and said, "Old Zou, your idea is correct. You should be upright and not be influenced by the atmosphere here."
Seeing that Liu Hongmin supported him, Zou Shifang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Liu Hongmin said, "It's my fault. I never thought about it. You can go back with me during the Chinese New Year this year, and then help my sister-in-law with the formalities and let her come with you."
Zou Shifang nodded gratefully. He left his family in Beijing as hostages. Liu Hongmin asked his wife to come over, which showed that he was completely confident in him.
A gentleman will die for his friend. Zou Shifang admits that he is not as good as a gentleman and cannot die for Liu Hongmin, but he can keep an eye on Hong Kong's industries for Liu Hongmin.
Liu Hongmin rested for a night and invited Huang Qiang and Yang Guiren over the next day.
The three of them first signed the contract for the second part of Justice Bao. Ming Pao did not gain any benefits from the last cooperation, so it temporarily withdrew from this cooperation. Mr. Jin Yong is a qualified businessman. Even if the three parties have cooperated happily for many times, he will never hesitate when making a decision.
Then Yang Guiren discussed the publication of "Da Ming" with Liu Hongmin, but Liu Hongmin did not agree.
"Let's wait a little longer, at least until Contemporary is published, and then we can talk about this matter. Don't worry, we have such a pleasant cooperation, Daming will definitely publish a traditional Chinese version for you."
Yang Guiren nodded helplessly. "Da Ming" was written so well that Sanlian was so anxious this time.
After sending the two away, Zou Shifang took Liu Hongmin to the company's simple playback room. Xu Xiaoming bought a discarded player from a cinema and used it in the playback room to review films.
"Robin, let's get started!"
Robin, the projectionist, immediately and carefully placed the film on the player and the image was projected onto the white wall.
The movie started soon and Liu Hongmin watched it carefully. An hour and a half later, the movie was over.
Zou Shifang couldn't wait to ask: "Hongmin, how do you feel?"
Liu Hongmin opened his mouth and felt that the film was not as good as the original. Both Wu Jing and Fan Shaohuang were a bit old and less cute than Shi Xiaolong and Hao Shaowen. If Xu Xiaoming hadn't deliberately made the twins smaller, the jokes in this film would have been reduced by at least half.
It seems that we need to shoot a few more kung fu comedies before the twins enter puberty.
Zou Shifang felt a chill in his heart, "What went wrong?"
Liu Hongmin shook his head. "It's okay. The photos are OK. Brother Chen, how do you feel?"
Chen Yu didn't expect Liu Hongmin to ask him about this, so he said in a daze, "It's great. This is the happiest movie I've ever seen."
"Just be happy!" Liu Hongmin said to Zou Shifang, "Let's release it as scheduled!"
Zou Shifang finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good!"
The release date is approaching, and if there are any problems, it may be too late to make changes.
