Chapter 14 Summary of Paris

The taxi car finally stopped at the "Ming Pao Industrial Building". Zhuo Yi brought the car with "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". In this era, the "Ming Pao Newspaper Group" is definitely the leading company in the Hong Kong newspaper industry. Although since Master Jin Yong stopped writing and Gu Long's death, martial arts novels have become unsuccessful and their status in the novel industry has declined, Ming Pao and its "Martial Arts and History" magazine have never wavered in the minds of martial arts fans, just because Ming Pao was founded by Mr. Jin Yong. This is why there are so many novel serial newspapers in Hong Kong, but Zhuo Yi must come to Ming Pao to contribute.

"Hello! I'm here to contribute!" Zhuo Yi led the beautiful front desk lady to Mingbao's novel editorial department. Seeing the long abortion, Zhuo Yi could not have imagined that so many people came to Mingbao to contribute. It seems that Mingbao's position in the minds of the heroes is indeed unshakable.

"Hello! Are you here to contribute too?" Suddenly a voice rang behind Zhuo Yi. Zhuo Yi turned his head and saw that he was a young man with a pair of big myopic glasses.

"Well..." Zhuo Yi didn't want to pay attention to this guy.

"You've submitted your article for the first time?" This guy was a good man and handed Zhuo Yi a big envelope. "My name is Linghu Xiaobao, I'll write the name, work, pseudonym, and the contact information and contact address on the envelope."

As soon as Zhuo took the envelope and filled in all the information on it. Because there was no cell phone, he wrote the phone number at Guan Xiumei's house. In the pen name column, the guy wrote the pseudonym "Not Huang Yi".

"Thank you, brother, my name is Zhuo Yi..."

...

During the conversation with Linghu Xiaobao, Zhuo Yi learned that Ming Pao was recently conducting a martial arts novel "Looking for the Next Jin Yong's Call for Papers" with the intention of saving the vast world. The first place in the award can earn 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, so there are so many martial arts enthusiasts participating.

Linghu Xiaobao's original name is Li Li, and he is a martial arts fan, especially Jin Yong's novels, so he changed his name to "Linghu Xiaobao". Today is his sixth time to submit his article. The first five times he was rejected. He has revised it five times, but he is a persistent guy.

He and Zhuo Yi exchanged their phone numbers! Zhuo Yi left Guan Xiumei's phone number to him before he could even call him, and then successfully handed over the manuscript and left.

Zhuo Yi came to Kowloon's largest digital city and planned to buy a mobile phone, but the salesperson sister took out a wireless mobile phone as big as a brick, commonly known as: Big Brother. Zhuo Yi was speechless. Then he tried it. The signal and call quality were broken. In the end, Zhuo Yi was injured during that eight-hour standby time. In the end, Zhuo Yi surrendered for 25,000 yuan, which was exchanged for the salesperson sister's contemptuous look, "I tried it for so long but didn't buy it, and I thought it was a big shot?"

Zhuo Yi was not reluctant to give up the 20,000 yuan, but he just felt that it was unnecessary. No wonder there was already a wireless phone at this time, but it was not able to promote it. This was too many disadvantages. However, Zhuo Yi knew that the huge market for mobile phones after the technology was mature in the future. "If you have money in the future, you must divide this cake," Zhuo Yi thought. In the end, he only spent 1,000 yuan to buy a BB machine (pager), and picked a good number, and then took a taxi back. He planned to copy a few more money-making scripts.

After Zhuo Yi returned home, Guan Xiumei had not come back yet. Zhuo Yi knew that she had returned to the company to complete the resignation procedures today. He originally planned to accompany her and could visit the legendary star Shaolin Temple at will, but the matter for the script and novel draft was cancelled.

Zhuo Yi turned on the computer and thought about which movie to copy next. He knew that the highest box office in 1988 was "Eight Stars News", with a total box office of more than 30 million. Then Jackie Chan's "Police Story 2" and "Flying Dragons". However, all three movies have been released, and several other high-box movies have not been released, but the scripts have not been written, and even filming has started. After all, few people are as nervous as Wang Jing. If they crash like other people's scripts, it will be funny. Zhuo Yi doesn't want to take this risk.

Then I can only copy next year's movies. Zhuo Yi spent his latest good movies in his mind and found that next year's box office was "God of Gambling", and then the year after that was followed by the year of gambling movies. "God of Gambling", "God of Gambling", "God of Gambling", "God of Gambling", "God of Gambling", "God of Gambling", "God of Gambling", and gambling demons filled the market all at once, and the gambling movies were all made in the third year. So Zhuo Yi didn't plan to write "God of Gambling" first to avoid messing up the market. This guy has selfish intentions and plans to keep "God of Gambling" and then shoot it for his own company. He knows how profitable that series of gambling movies are. It's quite simple to open a film company this year. As long as someone has money, he can start a film company that produces and sells it to other large companies. Now many small-scale film companies in Hong Kong are like this.

After writing a few more scripts to make money, I started my own company and made movies, and only hired actresses. The standard is that I don’t want to be beautiful, I don’t have acting skills in a vase. I don’t have to look at my beautiful legs, my waist, and my fat buttocks. I’m watching this guy.

Therefore, Zhuo Yi finally decided to copy the "Alang's Story" that coexisted with art and business, and Jackie Chan's "Miracle". Both movies had box offices of more than 30 million yuan, and if they were not copied, they would be written next year.

Zhuo Yi knew that there were still movies with a box office of over 100 million yuan, but the box office of such movies was caused by many reasons. Good movies in the future may not be recognized and welcomed in this era. Just like "Infernal Affairs", if this masterpiece of later generations is released now, it will be a failure, because the audience today cannot accept movies of this level, or the appreciation level is not as high as that of later generations, so it is best to copy movies that are suitable for this era. It is said that Zhuo Yi is super selfish, and good movies in the future can be kept for many years. Why not keep them and slowly train the audience's viewing level?

When Zhuo Yi typed "Alang's Story" halfway on the keyboard, Guan Xiumei came back.

Guan Xiumei's face was flushed. Zhuo Yi stopped working, walked over and took the big bag from Guan Xiumei's hand, and smiled and said, "Are you tired? Have you gone shopping? Have you bought a lot of things?" Then he wiped the sweat from her temples. Of course, he knew that women like men's tenderness, but they didn't care what they really wanted to help her, but they care about the man's wishes.

Guan Xiumei was very happy. She pulled a girl from behind in, took out an exquisite box and handed it to Zhuo Yi like a treasure, "Look, what gift I bought for you!"

Zhuo Yi opened the box in confusion: "Buy another gift?" Zhuo Yi found that Guan Xiumei especially liked to dress up, including dressing up her sweetheart. Looking at the big brother's phone inside the box, Zhuo Yi was embarrassed.

"Do you like it?"

"I like it so much." Zhuo Yi smiled bitterly. "I have a gift for you too." Then he handed over the check he had just received.

"Is this your friend who wants to make a movie?" Zhuo Yi noticed the girl behind Guan Xiumei.
