This year's New Year's Eve is no different from previous years.

Since WeChat and the Spring Festival Gala jointly launched New Year's red envelopes, it has been sending red envelopes to everyone for free for three consecutive years this year.

The first year is WeChat red envelope, the second year is Q letter red envelope, and now the third year is Alipay red envelope. If we include WeChat’s Five Blessings red envelopes, it will really benefit countless users.

This year's WeChat collection of five blessings is even more popular than last year. After all, users who tasted the sweetness last year, especially the first batch of users who collected five blessings, have 3 million people, and each person has an average of hundreds of yuan in red envelopes. Who doesn't want this free money?

Therefore, once the WeChat Five Blessings Collection Activity was launched this year, users who tasted the sweetness last year flocked to the crowd, making the Five Blessings Collection Activity even more popular than last year.

On the contrary, although Alipay cooperated with the super stage of the Spring Festival Gala and spent a lot of money, the response was not as good as WeChat's Five Blessings event.

There is no way. After all, Alipay’s tags are finance, which are incomparable to the social tags of WeChat and Qxin.

Of course, the bombing of red envelopes for several hours also allowed Alipay to add nearly 20 million registered users, which is also good.

While the people of the country gathered five blessings to grab red envelopes, a group of screenwriters who had just joined Liushi Media did not even have a rest during the Spring Festival and were working overtime to adapt the two works "Legend of Martial Arts" and "Legend of Jianghu".

The big boss Liu Xiahui gave the screenwriters an order to keep them 100% loyal to the original work. Except for the details that can be slightly adjusted, the main plot should not be moved at all.

The screenwriters were really frowning when the boss ordered this.

Because if they do this, their function is no different from translation, they are just translating novels into scripts.

Liu Xiahui no matter what the screenwriters think, the reason why he wants to bring the legendary series to the screen is to realize his dreams and the legendary book fans, not to make money or to ratings.

Therefore, being 100% loyal to the original work is the most classic TV series. He doesn’t need any magic modifications, and legendary book fans shouldn’t need them either!

Because there are many screenwriters and the difficulty of adapting the script is very small, the adaptation progress is still very fast. After the New Year, the scripts of the two works will be released.

Liu Xiahui asked the screenwriters to continue to adapt the three works of "The Legend of China", "The Legend of the Strange Man", "The Legend of Black Hawk", "The Legend of Black Panther", and "The Legend of Hidden Heroes". As for the remaining three works, they are ignored.

After the scripts of "The Legend of the Martial Arts" and "The Legend of the Rivers and Lakes" were released, Liu Xiahui couldn't wait to summon director Li Da and director Lai Da to discuss the filming with them.

"Director Li, Director Lai, this is the script of "Legend of Martial Arts" and "Legend of Jianghu". You can read it first. Anyway, my requirements are very simple. You must strive for excellence when shooting and be 100% loyal to the original work."

Speaking of this, Liu Xiahui smiled slightly and said confidently: "As for money, as long as it is necessary to spend money, even if you spend three or two small goals in a series, that's not a problem! There are also male and female leading actors, looking at the entire entertainment industry, you can choose. No matter which big-name actor you like, I can come forward to invite people!"

Seeing that Director Li and Director Lai couldn't help but be moved, Liu Xiahui changed his voice and said, "Of course, the same sentence is still the same. Everything follows the original work, including casting. This is what the two directors are good at, so I won't emphasize it much!"

Director Li is thin, with a hairline on his head and big ears, and doesn't look like a big director at all. At this time, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, being loyal to the original work is what we have been doing. As long as Mr. Liu is not afraid of spending money, we can make a TV series comparable to a movie for Mr. Liu!"

Director Lai has a fat figure and a big face. He has a gray beard that is already a bit gray and a gentleman's hat. He has a bit of a big director's style. He also smiled and said, "Director Li is right. For us, as long as we are not afraid of spending money, it is not difficult to create a TV series comparable to a movie!"

Liu Xiahui nodded and smiled, "Okay, I won't say much about anything else. Time is tight and the task is heavy. After these two works are completed, we will be filming "Legend of China" and "Legend of Legend of the Gods", so the two directors must hurry up!"

Speaking of this, Liu Xiahui suddenly remembered something and asked: "Also, do the two directors need me to invite the original author Mr. Wu to come as a consultant?"

Director Li said: "If you can invite Mr. Wu as a consultant, it will naturally be a good thing. After all, the big boss, your request is 100% loyal to the original work. It will be helpful to have the author of the original work. However, Mr. Wu is old this year and doesn't know how much energy you are. I'm afraid that he will waste his energy. That is our sin!"

Liu Xiahui said: "Don't worry about this. I just met Mr. Wu some time ago. He is in a good mental state, and bringing his works to the screen is one of the wishes of all authors. I think Mr. Wu wants to make some efforts."

Director Lai said: "The big boss is right. Putting his work on the screen is indeed one of the wishes of all authors. Since Mr. Wu is willing to do his part, we should fulfill his work. After all, the original author's understanding of the work is definitely not comparable to that of us readers. With Mr. Wu, he can restore the work to the greatest extent."

Liu Xiahui said: "Okay, when I look back, I will invite Mr. Wu to be a consultant. Director Li and Director Lai, your task is to cast the casting as soon as possible. If there is any problem that cannot be solved, I will just tell me directly, I will solve it for you!"

Both directors said it was okay after hearing this. Originally, they were not very interested in filming works such as the legendary series that are not well-known at the moment.

After obtaining many filming conditions promised by Boss Liu, the enthusiasm of the two directors was stimulated.

After all, for a director, he doesn’t have to consider money or ratings. He uses the star he wants to use. And as long as he is loyal to the original work, no investors will come and make mistakes. This degree of freedom is something that all directors dream of.

A hundred thousand ladies went to Lingnan, and a million Hong Kong men traveled to Dongguan!

February 9, 2014 was the end of the service myth of Guan City, and the famous "Dong-style service" became a hit.

Then the eye-opening services such as "Star Wars", "Little Bee", "Playing the Piano with Ten Fingers", "Roaming the World", "Flying People in the Air" can only exist in fantasy.

Liu Xiahui is an honest and dedicated man. He only knows his reputation for Dongguan-style service, but never thinks about experiencing it. Even the above titles are known from the classic film "All the way to the West".

Speaking of this "All Way to the West", it was also seen on the Otaku Artifact Quick Broadcast in his previous life. Unfortunately, this Otaku Artifact is about to be captured by the harmonious beast, and has become a legend that only spreads in the world.

After the scanned city of Guan City, the entire Internet connotation jokes were flying all over the sky, which forced Liu Xiahui to admire the creative level of those sculptural netizens.

Just as the sand sculpture netizens kept playing with memes, the first phase of Bobai Sauce, which Liu Xiahui invested in in the county, had almost been completed. Those soil experts who were invited by high prices still had two brushes.

Although the time is short and the task is heavy, the soil improvement task was completed as scheduled in accordance with Liu Xiahui's requirements.

By March, the radius of 30 kilometers of fields centered on the county town were gradually planted by local experienced vegetable farmers.

In the past, the Bobai Swallows were only propagated with stem seedlings, and the yield per mu was generally about 5,000 kilograms. Later, the seedlings were used to breed seedlings, transplant seedlings, and reapply the farm water and fertilizer, and the yield per mu increased to about 8,000 to 10,000 kilograms.

Since the yield per mu is higher, Liu Xiahui naturally chose the latter.

In previous years, the area of ​​planting sausage in the county was only about 300 mu, with an annual output of about 1.5 million kilograms. This output is also the reason why sausage in the province cannot be popularized in the whole province, let alone the national market!

Nowadays, the planting area of ​​Bobai Sauce has reached 10,000 mu, even at a normal annual output, there are about 80,000 to 100,000 tons. With the growth attribute bonus of the gold finger, it is easy to double the output.

Therefore, the annual output of Bobai Sauce this year will reach more than 200,000 tons.

And what is the price of Bobai Sauce?

Not to mention being so far away from overseas, just talking about Bobai local, when Bobai is first launched every year, the price is not cheap. It can usually be sold for six or seven yuan per catty, and when it is expensive, it can even be sold for ten yuan per catty.

The price will not drop properly until it is fully launched, but it will cost four or five yuan per pound.

If it is the peach planted from the two paddy fields in Nanmentang, it will be even more expensive.

Even though the planting range has increased and the output has soared, the national market is too large. This mere 200,000 tons of pestos is really nothing and cannot affect the price.

Moreover, with the quality bonus of gold fingers, the quality of this Bobai Sauce is better than before. The price will not only not drop, but Liu Xiahui is also considering whether to mention it up!

Even if it is priced at five yuan per pound, 200,000 tons is worth 2 billion yuan.

This is just the first phase. When the soil improvement is completed next year and the county is planted, the output will not be as simple as 200,000 tons. This number will at least be ten times more.

In this way, the annual output value will be as high as 20 billion yuan, which is definitely a golden rooster that can lay eggs!

...

In mid-March, the casting of "The Legend of Wulin" and "The Legend of Jianghu" were officially launched.

Except for the opinions provided by Liu Xiahui, the heroine in "The Legend of Wushu", the other characters are all led by the director himself.

In fact, Old Wu's novels almost all have one characteristic. The male protagonist is usually honest, wise and foolish, and bullied by the female protagonist all day long. The female protagonist is smart and smart, with a bit of willfulness and willfulness.

Like Murong Zining and Bai Yanyan in "The Legend of Wulin", Xiao Jiaoer and Gan Fengfeng in "The Legend of Jianghu", Mo Mingzhi and Murong Xiaoyan in "The Legend of Shenzhou", and Murong Zhi and Mo Wen in "The Legend of Black Hawk", are almost all replicas of Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

Of course, to be honest, Murong Zhi in "Legend of Black Hawk" should be an exception, because he deliberately pretended to be a fool, which was still different from the previous male protagonists.

"The Legend of the Martial Arts" is the first part of the legendary series. The heroine Bai Yanyan has a relatively distinct personality. If it weren't for the older generation of actors who were a little older, it would be very suitable for the role of Bai Yanyan to let the playful Zhu Yin or the beautiful Jia who played Zhao Min alive.

Unfortunately, these two actresses that Liu Xiahui likes are not young anymore. Beautiful Zhu is already forty-three years old and Beautiful Jia is already forty years old. It is a bit inappropriate for them to play a teenage girl.

Of course, because the legendary series are written in the form of sequels, it is very appropriate to have beautiful Zhu or beautiful Jia play the role of the middle-aged and elderly heroine.

Among the new generation of actors, although there are many who are suitable for the heroine, Liu Xiahui, who is itchy, still recommended a female star he likes to Director Li Da.

This female star is no one else, but she is Zhang Damei, who has attracted countless fans in her online drama "The Promotion of the Crown Princess" in her previous life.

Liu Xiahui felt that the figure and appearance of Zhang Damei were very consistent with his aesthetic view!

Of course, at this time, the beauty Zhang Da had not started filming "The Promotion of the Crown Princess", and in the entertainment industry, she was still an unknown little transparent person, and few people knew her.

Except for recommending Zhang Damei to "The Legend of Wulin", Liu Xiahui gave everything else to the two directors. In order to maintain suspense, he never even went to the set once. Only when "The Legend of Wulin" and "The Legend of Jianghu" start playing will he keep the surprise to the greatest extent.

Just when the filming of "The Legend of Wulin" and "The Legend of Jianghu" started in a low-key manner, Teacher Ma personally called to meet Liu Xiahui, and there was an idea on the phone, hoping to have a good talk with Liu Xiahui about the two taxi-hailing software Didi and Kuaidi.

At this time, with Didi and Huang Feng completing the merger, Didi dominated the entire taxi-hailing software market, and its only rival was Alipay supporter.

Of course, Didi Taxi, which has already integrated Didi, Huang Feng and Qiandu Taxi, has surpassed the market share of taxi software by several streets.

At this time, Teacher Ma called to talk about this. Liu Xiahui didn’t know what Teacher Ma had. Calculate the time. Alibaba Group should be listed this year, maybe it is related to this?

Liu Xiahui guessed secretly, then smiled faintly. No matter what Teacher Ma thought, he would talk if he wanted to talk, he just needed to deal with it!

Because it was Teacher Ma who took the initiative to talk, after Liu Xiahui agreed, Teacher Ma took his personal bodyguard to Guizhou the next day and came to the headquarters of the Liu Family Group - Liu Family Building!

Liu Xiahui came down to greet Teacher Ma in person, and then welcomed Teacher Ma on the top floor at [World's No. 1 Chinese Restaurant]!
Chapter completed!
