Chapter 125 "White Night Walk" completed
In early March, Wang Yaowei arrived in Beijing.
"The mold factory that Pengcheng helped us contact is right here in Beijing."
"wait for me a while!"
Liu Hongmin took out the models of Optimus Prime, Megatron, Soundwave, Ratchet and Starscream and placed them on the table.
Wang Yaowei looked at these models with disbelief on his face.
"Tsk tsk, if I hadn't heard you, I wouldn't have believed that this was made by hand."
"Be careful when you ask them to make the molds, don't break them. You should know how much these prototype toys will be worth when Transformers become famous all over the world!"
Wang Yaowei nodded. "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on them. When the mold is ready, I'll send it back to you."
"When will you return to Hong Kong?"
"It may take more than a month!" Wang Yaowei packed up the five Transformers. "It takes time to produce the molds. I also need to go to Pengcheng to start the factory."
"Is that so?" Liu Hongmin nodded. "Then I'll call Lao Zou and ask Sanlian to come pick up the manuscript."
Wang Yaowei: "Has White Night Walk been written?"
"Just finished."
Before, Liu Hongmin was busy with election matters during the day and writing "White Night Walk" at night. He was very busy.
He had only watched the Southern Dynasty version of "White Night Walk", mainly because of Sun Yizhen. This version of "White Night Walk" received a lot of negative reviews, such as Sun Yizhen's role as a junior high school student and the love concept in the play, which were all serious problems.
These are not a problem for Liu Hongmin. He is already a mature author, and there is no problem in modifying his view on love.
As for the issue of Sun Yizhen's age, don't worry about it at all. This is a novel, if you can tell what Sun Yizhen looks like from it... I think you are amazing!
The story is still set in Hong Kong, and the beginning of the story is set in 69. At that time, Hong Kong was in chaos, and it was not uncommon for anything to happen. Not to mention the death of a person, even gang fights were common.
After the male and female protagonists killed someone, they would fake it, and the police would determine that the death was caused by a gunfight or robbery. In addition, due to the era when the case happened, a lot of evidence was missing, making it difficult to solve the case.
However, based on the witnesses' accounts, the police still focused their attention on the woman.
Witnesses said that before the hero's father died, they saw the heroine and the hero's father enter the abandoned building together.
The police began to investigate the heroine, and then strange things happened. Over the next ten years, the relatives and friends of the hero and heroine were killed one after another. Because the heroine had an alibi, she could always escape the police's suspicion.
It was not until 83 that the police got some clues about the death of the heroine's mother and her mother's lover, and once again turned their attention to the heroine.
At this time, the male protagonist stepped forward, led these clues to himself, and then committed suicide during the police pursuit.
Before his death, he left a suicide note, confessing all his crimes. He first killed his father by mistake, then killed the heroine's mother and her lover, and later killed relatives and friends one after another in order to avoid the police.
After reading the suicide note, the police gave up the pursuit of the heroine again. After reading the suicide note, the heroine left without any expression.
After leaving the police station, she showed a look of relief. This ending implies that except for the accidental killing of the male protagonist's father, the male protagonist's other crimes were committed under her suggestion. The purpose is to get rid of all those who know that she was forced by her mother to sell her body, and the male protagonist is the last one.
This terrifying setting will become the biggest feature of "White Night Walk".
Of course, Liu Hongmin is also paving the way for "Chinatown Detective" in advance. As long as "Days of the Night" is a big hit, "Chinatown Detective" will attract some book fans to the theaters as long as it is labeled as adapted from "Days of the Night", contributing to the box office of "Chinatown Detective".
As for how much box office revenue "Detective Chinatown" can get, it depends on how Xu Xiaoming and his team perform in the filming.
There are several key characters in this movie. Not to mention the detective duo as the protagonists, the choice of the murderer Lee and Snow is also very important.
Xu Xiaoming found Ren Dahua, who was a model, to play the role of Li. Although it was his first acting role, he was said to have performed well.
Snow's candidate was Li Lizhen, who also received an invitation from New One City. However, the salary offered by Tomorrow Film Company was higher, three times that of New One City.
According to Xu Xiaoming, this little girl is very intelligent. Although she didn't have many scenes, her performance was outstanding and she could definitely be signed for training.
Currently, the company only has one actress, Lan Jieying, who is also known for her beauty. After Li Lizhen is signed, she can go for the cute route.
"By the way, I will introduce some people to work in Pengcheng. Please help me take care of them. But if they dare to commit crimes, I will not tolerate them."
Wang Yaowei nodded, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on them."
After Wang Yaowei left with the five Transformers, Liu Hongmin made a phone call to Hong Kong.
The next day, Yang Guiren flew to the capital.
After signing the contract, Yang Guiren told Liu Hongmin a good news.
"A few days ago, Random House had already finished translating Lies. They sent the Japanese version to the Japanese overnight, and printed it overnight. Yesterday, Wilderness was on the shelves there."
"Really?" Liu Hongmin was pleasantly surprised. Publishing it on the Japanese side was almost like pointing at the Japanese' noses and cursing them. Is there anything more comfortable than this?
"Random House is indeed very powerful. They directly distribute the products to all large bookstores in Japan. Although the Japanese are reluctant, they still have to do it."
Yang Guiren said with emotion: "You were right before. It's not easy for the little devils to do this."
"That's just the beginning!" Liu Hongmin didn't care. "The Americans are very cruel! Just wait and see!"
Yang Guiren shook his head. A method even more cruel than this? I couldn't imagine it!
He was like the average Hong Konger, not caring about the international situation and unwilling to learn history. Every day he was exposed to Western freedom and equality. If Liu Hongmin hadn't reminded him, he would have found it hard to imagine that a Random House could bully the Japanese so badly.
This incident made him see the methods of the Americans and understand the power of the Americans. This is the power of the state apparatus. Even mainstream developed countries like the Japanese cannot resist it, let alone a tiny place like Hong Kong!
Liu Hongmin: "Brother Ren, when you go back, ask about sales frequently. If you have good news, let me know immediately."
"No problem!" Yang Guiren agreed readily and flew back to Hong Kong with the manuscript of "White Night Walk".
Thanks to the relationship with Random House, "White Night Walk" will be published simultaneously in four languages: Traditional Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and English.
