044 [New drama starts]

When Jin Yong said this, these publishers, book critics, and readers couldn't wait to see it.

The reason why they support fantasy novels is mainly because of the continued sluggishness of martial arts novels in the past two years.

Jin Yong announced his closing of the book since he finished writing "The Deer and the Cauldron" in 1972, and Gu Long accidentally contracted hepatitis since the Yinsongge incident in 1980. In addition, his excessive alcoholism has made his body weaker and no new works have been released in the past three years.

The two great masters have won the pen one after another, and the successors such as Huang Ying, Long Chengfeng, and Ximen Ding were unable to bear the banner of new martial arts, which caused heavy losses in the martial arts literary world. Readers lost, sales decreased, and influence continued to weaken.

It is precisely because of this that these publishers urgently hope that a "hero" can appear at this time, which can turn the tide and turn the tide of the building.

Since Xia Tian is a talent recommended by Jin Yong and he has a brand new creative theory, these publishers and booksellers naturally put their hopes on him.

You should know that Gu Long was discovered by Jin Yong, who thought that "Ming Pao" wrote "Meteor Butterfly Sword" and became famous in one fell swoop. However, Taiwan's more famous martial arts novelists were Wo Longsheng, Sima Ling, Zhuge Qingyun, etc., but Jin Yong chose Gu Long, who was not famous at that time among the crowd. Gu Long also had his own creative theory and became a master of the new martial arts generation.

Today's summer is very similar to Gu Long back then. Although he is just an unknown man now, all the publishers and booksellers present have high expectations for him.

"Thank you for your kindness. My fantasy martial arts novel "The Ming Yue of Qin" will be released soon. I hope you can support it at that time." Xia Tian also said with a smile.

I have finally come to know so many booksellers and publishers today. With the support of these big bosses, I don’t have to worry about not being able to sell my novels.

He also signed a contract with Luo Bin, the boss of Global Publishing House, and authorized him to publish the "Eighth Bronze Man in Shaolin Temple". He printed the first 5,000 copies and received a reward of 10,000 yuan in summer.

Although 10,000 Hong Kong dollars is not too much, it is still a big gap from the expected one million in summer. However, gathering sand to form a tower and gathering armpits to form a fur, one day he will make a profit of one million.

After the symposium, Xia Tian left with Jin Yong in a car.

Although today's symposium started poorly, the ending was enough to be gratifying.

"Mr. Cha, judging from the reactions of these publishers, booksellers, readers, and book critics, they are also very supportive of fantasy novels." Xia Tian said with a smile, "With their support, the downstream influences the upstream, and those writers will probably adapt to the market demand."

Jin Yong nodded and said earnestly, "A Tian, ​​you are right. But even if they rewrite fantasy novels, even if they succeed in the future, they may not be grateful to you."

"Mr. Cha, I know this, but I don't think it's important whether they feel grateful to me or not." Xia Tian waved his hand indifferently.

His ambition is to become a billionaire, not a literary giant. He wrote books just to accumulate original funds. After making enough money, he would leave. He would not even touch fantasy novels in the future. Therefore, some literary reputations have no meaning to him at all.

However, of course he could not tell Jin Yong that this thought was because Jin Yong now regarded him as the "savior" of martial arts novels, and also strongly supported his reform of martial arts novels. If Jin Yong knew that he wanted to make money, he would probably have a "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm" to fly him in disappointment.

When Jin Yong heard Xia Tian say this, he felt that Xia Tian is a young man with a broad mind, unbounded mind, and has the style of a great man. "A Tian, ​​don't worry, even if they don't appreciate your advice, I will help you to correct your name. Fantasy novels were created by you, and no one can erase or ignore this."

Xia Tian was humble and could not care about fame and fortune, but Jin Yong did not want him to suffer such grievances. He made up his mind to help him become famous so that everyone could know that the concept of "fantasy novels" was proposed by Xia Tian.

"Thank you, Mr. Cha." After hearing Jin Yong's words, Xia Tian was a little amused and crying.

He really doesn't care about that little fame because he is not going to develop in depth in the literary world. However, Jin Yong doesn't seem to think so, and he is determined to promote and create momentum for him, praise him as the pioneer of "fantasy novels" and continue to lead the transformation of martial arts novels. This makes Xia Tian feel helpless.

...

When he returned home, Xia Tian continued to write his "The Bright Moon in the Qin Dynasty".

A thousand words of three hundred yuan can make more than one thousand yuan in an hour, and more than fifteen thousand yuan a day. Such a profitable business cannot be slacked off.

After dinner, Xia Tian returned to the room and continued to write. At this moment, he heard a knock on the door.

Xia Xue walked over and opened the door. When she saw someone coming at the door, she couldn't help but frown. Then she went to Xia Tian's room, "Brother, that person is here again." She shouted.

Xia Tian put down his pen and walked out to see the fat lice standing at the door again.

"Brother Tian!" As soon as he met, he smiled with a slutty smile.

"Why, I've been here once at noon, what are you doing now?" Xia Tian frowned and said, really disliked these people coming to the door at any time, "Is the script necessary to be revised, or something else?"

"Not either. Brother Bing asked me to tell you that he had already found all the personnel and asked you when the construction could start." Fat lice waved his hand and said.

"So fast?!" Xia Tian was surprised. It took at least half a month for ordinary crews to find enough staff. Because they had to select actors, try makeup, customize clothes, coordinate schedules, and so much work could not be completed in less than two weeks.

Unexpectedly, Buck Yabing was so neat that he had already completed the crew in half a day, which was really beyond his expectations. But when he thought about it, C-level films did not require big names, nor did they need makeup and auditions, customized clothing, coordinate schedules, etc., no wonder they made progress so quickly.

"Tell Brother Bing, I can start construction anytime. But I told you last time that I will get half the deposit before starting construction." Xia Tian narrowed his eyes and said, he hadn't seen his deposit yet.

Xia Tian is not working for Biaoya Bing this time, but his salary is 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. And he has agreed in advance that he will pay half the deposit before the filming starts, and one quarter before the filming is completed, and the remaining one quarter will settle after the release.

"Brother Bing said that your deposit will compensate for the usury owed to him. The insufficient part will be deducted before the completion of the filming, and the pay will be deducted." Fei Li said again.

Xia Tian was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, "It's good, but tell Brother Bing that I will get the remaining money and IOU before the filming is completed."

"Yes." Fat lice nodded, "Brother, when are you going to start filming this new drama that day?" he asked again.

"It's going to be tomorrow." Xia Tian shook his hand and said impatiently.

"I understand, I will tell Brother Bing when I go back." Fei Li agreed and left happily.

"This stingy guy." Xia Tian slammed the door and said in great discomfort.

...

The next day, Xia Tian brought Chen Yixin to Huada set again.

"Ah Tian, ​​welcome. I have read the script you wrote yesterday, and it is so satisfying to write it." As soon as we met, Buck Ya Bing praised it. Anyway, it doesn't cost much to say good things, and it can make people happy. Why don't you say more?

Xia Tian was too lazy to listen to his long-winded words, and even ten thousand good words were not as practical as a coin. He saliva more than tea, and praised him for a flower, but the actual benefits were not at all. He was both hypocritical and stingy, so Xia Tian was too lazy to dump him.

"Brother Bing, I'm already here, let's gather the crew first." Xia Tian glanced at Buck-Teak Bing and said lightly.

"Uh..." Buck-Ye Bing was splashing with saliva. She thought Xia Tian would be grateful and regarded him as a soulmate, but she didn't expect that the other person ignored him at all, and immediately made him hold his breath in his throat, almost venting his breath.

"Fat lice, where have you been hiding? Why don't you call everyone here? Have you seen the director!" Buck Ya Bing shouted loudly, scattering all his anger on his subordinates.

When Fat Lice saw the boss getting angry, she hurriedly pulled her big butt and called her to go. After a while, all twelve people in the crew arrived. Among the twelve people, six actors and six behind-the-scenes workers.

Seeing such a sparse number of people, Xia Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly. People like Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao and others filmed, and the crew required at least four or five hundred people, which was not counted as the number of temporary actors.

Think about how majestic it is to be a director. I think I am so good at it. I have two or three big cats and kittens, and it looks really pitiful.

When the crew members saw that Xia Tian was just a big boy with no hair, they also showed disdainful expressions on their faces, and several of them sneered repeatedly, whispering to each other, clearly not taking Xia Tian into consideration.

Xia Tian knew that these people bullied him young and had no reputation, so he didn't look down on him. He smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, let me introduce myself first. I am Xia Tian, ​​and I am also the director and photographer of our play."

"Although our crew only has a dozen people, everyone must not be lazy. They think that this is a straw troupe, and you can just take the money and leave. I am ugly, and anyone who comes with this idea, leave as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, if your performance during the shooting process cannot satisfy me, then you will not only not be paid, but also ask you to compensate for the losses." Xia Tian glanced at everyone and said.

After hearing what he said, everyone who had disapproved of it was shocked and knew that Xia Tian was not as harmless as it seemed on the surface.
