1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

"Boss Yuan, we have talked to you before. The situation in our mainland has indeed been greatly liberated!"

"We have already submitted the script for review. There shouldn't be too many problems. It should be approved and can be filmed!"

Fu Qi nodded, still speaking nonchalantly, but in fact he was saying in his heart that it had been rejected long ago, although there are many things that can be filmed in the mainland now, and it is said that even capitalist love can be filmed.

But the feudal superstition is still very stubborn, and the script is full of restrictions, so it was actually rejected by the higher-ups long ago.

I bring it here now to catch the fish of your Yuan family.

"It's good if we can film it! It would be such a shame if such a good script can't be filmed!"

When Yuan Heping heard that the mainland was so open-minded and that this script could be filmed, he was overjoyed.

"That's fine! Boss Yuan, I've already brought you the response from Yanjing! You should also get ready and inform me of the list of people going north as soon as possible so that I can arrange for you to go north!"

"Okay, Boss Yuan, you don't have to send me off. Just wait for our notification!"

The bait had been laid, and Fu Qi didn't dare to stay with the Yuan family for long, for fear that they would ask him all kinds of questions and find out!
He immediately said goodbye and left.

"Okay, okay, then Mr. Fu, we won't see you off!" Yuan Heping and the others didn't want to see him off. After all, there were too many people outside and it would be bad to be stared at.

Then he added, "I hope your script will pass the review! Otherwise, it will be such a shame if we can't shoot it!"

It is obvious that Yuan Heping really likes this script and definitely hopes that it can be filmed at the Great Wall.

In this way, their martial arts instructor will have a place to use his skills, and it can also be regarded as a challenge for the Yuan family to take on new themes.

"Boss, two hundred thousand, have they really agreed to that?" After finally waiting until the person was sent away, the anxious second-in-command Yuan Changren couldn't help but get excited and said in disbelief.

"Two hundred thousand! Boss, that's two hundred thousand! It's ten times higher than the market price in Hong Kong. Is the North so rich? They actually agreed to it?"

"Are you kidding me? They're trying to trick us into coming here first, and then they're going to detain us and not let us come back?"

"It shouldn't be that serious! Besides, didn't the people from the Great Wall just say that the deposit would be transferred first?"

"That's right. The deposit is more than the appearance fee in Hong Kong. I can't believe it."

As soon as Fu Qi left, all the brothers from the Yuan family in the office were instantly in an uproar.

"Boss, are we really going to go north to do this?" Lin Zhengying looked at Yuan Heping with a worried look and asked.

"Not bad! Really good!" Yuan Heping replied, but he quickly reacted and explained, "Ah Lin, the book about Great Wall just now is really good. I really hope they don't fail!"

"Really? What kind of script can really be that good?" Lin Zhengying asked with a wry smile. What he was worried about now was whether it would be too risky to go north as agreed.

But the boss was actually telling him that the script was very good. How does that connect with anything?

No matter how good the script is, it belongs to someone else's Great Wall. Isn't it a pity that you care whether they can film it or not?
"Of course! Alin, my intuition tells me that if that script is filmed, it will be a big hit!" Yuan Heping nodded repeatedly. His mind was indeed attracted by the script.

"That has nothing to do with us!" The second brother Yuan Changren said with disdain, and then asked, "Boss, the most urgent thing now is to really go north?"

"Yes, Boss! We raised the price tenfold before, just to kick the ball back, let the North know our intentions, and retreat in the face of difficulties!"

"But now, they have used our trick against us. What should we do next?"

"Are you really heading north?"

The fifth brother, Yuan Xinyi, also asked miserably, but he didn't expect that the other side kicked the ball back to them.

Now they are in a very passive position!
Of course, an appearance fee of 200,000 is actually quite good, which is equivalent to the appearance fee of martial arts instructors in a dozen movies in Hong Kong.

After all, in the Hong Kong film industry, everything is fast-paced and nothing is valuable, but martial arts instructors are the least valuable.

You can’t make much money at all!
That's why the brothers came together to set up a satellite company, make their own movies and earn box office revenue, making a lot of money.

"What else can be done?"

"Didn't we just say this? Honesty is the foundation of our industry. Since they have agreed, can we still breach the contract?"

"It must be heading north!"

Yuan Heping glanced at his brothers and said in a resounding voice: "Don't worry about the Golden Horse Award or not. At worst, we can just travel light and use a pseudonym!"

"Okay then, let's listen to the boss. Whatever you say is fine!" The brothers nodded in unison.

"Boss, just now I saw you seemed hesitant to talk to the people from Great Wall, do you have any ideas?" Lin Zhengying was right next to Yuan Heping just now and noticed it keenly.

"Yes! Although they have already agreed, we can't be too rude. I plan to have a good talk with them after we go north!"

"Two hundred thousand yuan for guidance fees, it will be embarrassing if it gets out. I'll see if I can get a 50% discount."

The other party agreed readily, but they couldn't be too greedy.

Otherwise, if word gets out and the Hong Kong industry knows about it, won’t they curse them to death for maliciously disrupting the market?

Who will dare to come to them and ask for martial arts guidance in the future?
……

The bait has been faxed to Hong Kong. Whether it can be caught depends on what happens next!

Cheng Xuemin got what he wanted, but Mr. He Chengwei, the storyteller with a resentful look on his face, sent him on the train.

"Teacher Cheng, please hurry up and write the rest of the story. If you leave it like this... it will kill people!"

On the train, He Chengwei kept saying goodbye to Cheng Xuemin, but he still kept complaining about the whole journey and urged him to update his work and submit his manuscripts.

Cheng Xuemin was really too unkind this time. He broke the chapter at this critical place, which made He Chengwei, who had a sneak peek, very anxious!
I wanted to stuff the pen into Cheng Xuemin's hand, put a machete on Cheng Xuemin's neck, and force him to write down the rest of the story as soon as possible.

In response to this, Cheng Xuemin spread his hands, saying this was exactly the effect he wanted.

I have written serious subjects before, and although there were fragments, the emotions they aroused were not as strong as those of popular martial arts novels.

Therefore, if you want to write a popular novel and achieve explosive sales, content is one thing, but you also have to have a good grasp of the chapters and keep the readers' appetite hooked in order to achieve great success.

For example, in the large-scale TV series that is about to start, which episode will not end at the most critical moment?
And throughout the ages, who hasn't always been "To know what will happen next, please listen to the next episode?"

So, Mr. He, you are right to be anxious, because your story will soon be a hit. "Okay, okay, I know, Mr. He, you have said this all along. I promise to finish writing it as soon as possible and send it to you as soon as possible. Is that okay?" Cheng Xuemin nodded and waved his hand without any smile.

"Well, I'll be waiting for you, Teacher Cheng, in Shanghai!"

After He Chengwei said goodbye to Cheng Xuemin, the train started to leave Yanjing Station. After two days and two nights of clanging, it finally entered the Shanghai Railway Station, which was later called Shanghai South Station.

He Chengwei then took a taxi back to their story club's office, which was only half a street away from Harvest.

"Oh, Xiao He, you're back? How's it going? Did you get a manuscript for that pioneer you met this time?"

"Looking at your enthusiasm, Xiao He, you must have gotten an assignment, right?"

"Of course. Didn't Xiao He make a long distance call to the editor-in-chief and inform him?"

"Is the editor in chief here? Is the editor in chief in the office?"

Seeing He Chengwei return to the unit, his colleagues greeted him in surprise and asked.

However, He Chengwei didn't have time to talk to them. Instead, he had to rush into the editor-in-chief's office to report the good news.

"Yes, yes, I just saw the editor-in-chief come out and turn on the water!"

"Then I'll report to the editor-in-chief first, and we'll talk later!"

He Chengwei couldn't wait to rush into the editor-in-chief's office!
"Huh? Xiao He, you're back. How's it going?" The editor-in-chief had just finished brewing tea in the teacup. Seeing He Chengwei, who was on a business trip in Yanjing, actually came back, he couldn't help but ask hopefully.

"Editor-in-chief, thank you for fulfilling my mission. Please take a look at this manuscript first!"

He Chengwei didn't waste any time. He quickly took out the manuscript that he treasured from his bag and handed it to the editor-in-chief with relief.

"Okay, okay! Good job! You've worked hard. Xiao He, please sit down and have some tea. I'll take a look first!"

The editor-in-chief was also extremely excited after hearing this. He quickly took the manuscript handed to him, sat back in his chair, and began to look through it.

He Chengwei did not sit down, nor did he drink the tea that the editor had just brewed. Instead, he stood in front of the table, waiting.

"A real man?"

"The original name was "Heroes Emerge Young", but Teacher Cheng thinks the name 'Da Han Zhu' is more appropriate!"

"Really? He's a young man, and he's a man of integrity. What a contrast!" The editor-in-chief was also knowledgeable. He could tell something from the name alone.

Then he read on attentively, not saying anything for a while. But not long after, he turned to the end and found that he had finished reading and there was nothing left. He immediately became as anxious as He Chengwei had been before, as irritable as a hyena in heat. He suddenly raised his head and stared at He Chengwei, asking in a hurry:

"What's next? What's next? Why is there nothing next? What's next? Tell me!"

When He Chengwei saw that the editor-in-chief had the same reaction as himself, he was very happy. This was exactly the effect he wanted. If everyone was anxious, they would all be anxious together. It would be a loss for him, He Chengwei alone!

But on the surface, He Chengwei shrugged and spread his hands, and said in a very bitter tone: "That's all I have to say, editor-in-chief. There's nothing more to say!"

"Teacher Cheng is a very busy man. I had to chase him for three days and three nights before he managed to write this manuscript in one night!"

"And I think this has about 60,000 to 70,000 words, which is considered the first part. We can publish the first half first!"

"Of course, Teacher Cheng also promised that he would send us the second half before the next issue of our story will be released. It will definitely not be left unfinished!"

“We can’t stop here!” The editor-in-chief understood the truth, but it would be too unkind to stop here.

He didn't even tell the complete story, and he even played with fragments of the story at their magazine. Aren't these things the job of the magazine's editors?
Now, even he, the editor-in-chief, has been hooked.

So annoying!
……

These past two days, Cheng Xuemin seemed to have no idea of ​​the reaction in Hong Kong. Of course, he also didn't know that the half of the story he gave to the storytelling club, after being taken back by He Chengwei, had aroused so much resentment among the entire storytelling club.

Now with the release of his "The Garland under the Mountain", good news comes almost every day, and the movie "The Horse Wrangler" is also shining together and is hotly discussed by the whole nation.

"How are the scholars? Can we close the net now?"

When Cheng Xuemin just arrived at Yanying Studio, the old director couldn't wait to wave to him and asked.

"Besides, the old leader and Mr. Liao are also very curious about whether they will really take the bait!"

The old factory director rubbed his hands together, thinking that his old leader and Mr. Liao were still waiting for them to close the net. He felt nervous and excited at the same time.

"Old Factory Director, I think it's okay! We can close the net now!"

"I guess people in Hong Kong may be getting impatient!" Cheng Xuemin said with an unkind smile.

"That would be best!" The old factory manager Wang Yang nodded repeatedly, and then said, "Okay, I'll call Xiangjiang Great Wall right away and ask them to close the net! I'm sure they're getting impatient waiting!"

I don’t know whether Fu Qi from the Great Wall is anxious or not, but Yuan Heping from the Yuan Family has been waiting anxiously these past two days.

Until today, there was finally feedback from the Great Wall, saying that what they said came true, it was too feudal and superstitious, and was rejected by the Yanjing side, so the filming could not be done!
This made Yuan Heping even more anxious. Such a good script couldn't pass the review and was not allowed to be filmed?

How can that be possible!

If you don't take pictures, let them take pictures!

Their new company has just opened and they are worried about not having a good script for their startup film!
In order to avoid any further complications, Yuan Heping had a brief discussion with his brothers and secretly met with Fu Qi of Great Wall that evening.

"Eh?! Boss Yuan, do you want to film that script? Is this true?"

After hearing the purpose of Yuan Heping's meeting, Fu Qi pretended to be surprised and asked, but he already knew in his heart that if he lived up to his trust, the fish would be caught, and it would be a success.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Fu, since you can't shoot it, it would be a waste if you don't shoot such a good script. Why don't you transfer it to our Peace Pictures to shoot it?"

"Don't worry, we will definitely give you a satisfactory price based on the market price in Hong Kong!"

"Oh, by the way, as for your Tai Chi, we, the Yuan Clan, are also willing to send it north at a friendly price. We just hope you can help put in a good word and sell the script to us. How do you think?"

"Well... Boss Yuan, you know that our procedures are very complicated. All the items you pass the review will be sealed... It's a friendly price, right? OK, OK, I'll ask for you and get back to you as soon as possible!"
