Chapter 152 Things to do when returning to Beijing
The success of "Hidden Curtain: Bluff" completely overshadowed the popularity of "Face/Off", which was something Sanlian Publishing House never expected.
It was Liu Hongmin who gave them a promotional idea, and asked Sanlian Publishing House to print 100,000 paper sleeves overnight and put them directly on the book "Face/Off". There was only one line of words on the paper sleeve: "New work by Liu Hongmin, screenwriter and writer of "Chinatown Detective"".
As a result, the next day, "Face-changing" was sold out. Sanlian Publishing House was very happy about this and decided to write down this routine, maybe it can be used in the future.
But Liu Hongmin was somewhat uninterested. If it wasn't for making money, he really wouldn't want to come up with such an idea. This method was completely riding on the popularity of "Detective 2". It wasn't that readers liked the content of "Face Off" and bought it spontaneously. If it were any other book, Liu Hongmin would definitely be very happy. "Face Off" was written with great passion, and only if readers really liked it would it be the greatest comfort for him.
Therefore, Liu Hongmin returned to Beijing before "The Detective 2" was released.
After being away from the capital for several months, there were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.
First of all, he wrote a report on his actions and submitted it. Although no one wanted it, he had to write it and hand it over to Ms. Deng through Beijing.
After reading the report, Ms. Deng paid more attention to Liu Hongmin. In just a few months, he established a multinational company with two American giants and obtained a billion-dollar order for Pengcheng Toy Factory. Although Pengcheng Toy Factory is a subsidiary of Liu Hongmin's Xiangjiang Toy Factory, the billion dollars is actually going to enter the country.
Not to mention anything else, just this ability alone is much better than that of most economists in the country.
Behind the action report, Liu Hongmin actually applied to go to the United States to watch the Los Angeles Olympics...
Ms. Deng thought about it and called Xiyuan to talk to them. After hanging up the phone, she wrote a reply to Liu Hongmin, telling him that if he had any difficulties, he could seek help from the Chinese Embassy in the United States.
Secondly, Professor Tao's work was almost done. The remaining work was to consider the needs of the government. Professor Tao did not take over the project, so he wanted to take Liu Hongmin to study modern history systematically. As a result, Liu Hongmin ran to Hong Kong, which made Professor Tao very dissatisfied. The first thing he said when he saw Liu Hongmin was: "Look at you, do you still look like a student now?"
What else could Liu Hongmin say? He directly placed the box of Lai Mao in front of Professor Tao. Professor Tao was frightened and stood up immediately. When Ms. Chu was not paying attention, he hid the wine.
Unexpectedly, Ms. Chu had already seen it. While Professor Tao was hiding the wine, she pointed her finger at Liu Hongmin.
Liu Hongmin smiled awkwardly and quickly gestured for mercy.
The next thing is the Transformers cartoon, which has already entered the dubbing stage at the Beijing-America Film Studio. It just so happens that during this trip to the United States, Liu Hongmin can take the dubbed and undubbed master tapes with him.
Chinese dubbing can be done directly by Beijing Film Studio, but other languages need to be done by Transformers Company.
In addition, there is "Judge Bao 8", as well as the collection of books from Mr. Wang and the taking over of two courtyards.
The matter of taking over the Siheyuan was handed over to Ma Weidu. He was very familiar with this kind of thing and was almost as good as Liu Hongmin's butler.
Liu Hongmin entrusted the task of retrieving the collection to Ge Chaoguang, who went with his juniors from the class of 82. Mr. Wang's collection of books numbered over a thousand, and many of them were unique, with unimaginable value. Liu Hongmin was very happy about this, and he immediately called Hong Kong and asked Zou Shifang to deposit one million Hong Kong dollars into Mr. Wang's hospital account. The rest would be paid after the value of the collection was counted.
After finishing all these, Liu Hongmin thought he could continue to study these books. But something else came up.
First, China Television, they hope to buy the copyrights of "Infiltration" and "Kite" and film them into TV series.
In the past two years, China Central Television has become very wealthy. The crew of "Journey to the West" invested tens of millions. And there is still money left, which can be used to shoot other TV series. People all over the country, especially those around Beijing, have praised China Central Television. Director Wang is very grateful to Liu Hongmin for this, and always wants to repay Liu Hongmin. This time, shooting "Infiltration" and "Kite" is a kind of reward from Director Wang. Although according to regulations, the copyright fee that can be given is not much, it is better to have money than to have no money.
Liu Hongmin didn't think much about it. He was happy to adapt "Infiltration" and "Kite" into TV series. In this way, he could take the opportunity to anger the old man surnamed Wang again. I wonder if they will smash the TV when watching the TV series.
He signed the document casually and sent Director Wang away.
As a result, within two days, Lin Yong came again.
"Brother Liu, we are preparing to shoot "Shao Bao". Do you have time to be our consultant?"
Liu Hongmin was speechless. "It's been several years? You just want to film it now?"
Lin Yong was a little embarrassed. "Didn't we find the right director and actors before?"
"Now?"
Lin Yong nodded. "We found Tang Guoqiang to play the young Bao Zheng, and Yu Rongguang to play Zhan Zhao. But this is the first time we have filmed a movie like this, so we are a little unsure."
Liu Hongmin waved his hand, "I don't have the time. So, I'll transfer someone from Hong Kong to you. I'll pay for the salary. After the film is sold, you need to donate 50,000 yuan to the Chinese Medicine Association."
Lin Yong thought about it and thought that if it was 850,000, there should be some profit. He would shoot the first part first, and then see the effect, and then decide whether to continue using Liu Hongmin's people.
"can!"
After seeing Lin Yong off, Liu Hongmin called Hong Kong and transferred an assistant director. This assistant director had been following Xu Xiaoming before, and the Tomorrow Film Company would give him a base salary of more than 20,000 Hong Kong dollars a month. In addition to the filming bonus and other benefits, he could get at least 50,000 Hong Kong dollars a month.
Of course, 50,000 RMB can pay for his salary for two or three months, and the filming of "Shao Bao" takes only a month at most. It seems that Beijing Film Studio is losing money, but in fact it saves the trouble of looking for foreign exchange everywhere. If the donation is made to the Chinese Medicine Association, Beijing Film Studio can also gain some reputation, so it is not a loss.
After Deputy Director Yang arrived in Beijing, Liu Hongmin took him to the Beijing Film Studio. After handing him over to the crew, he started chatting with Lin Yong.
Lin Yong: "I have to thank Yuehou for the opportunity to film Shao Bao this time."
Liu Hongmin asked curiously: "Why do you say that?"
"You should know what happened in Laoshan, right? The whole country is angry about it. Those people have become silent, so Shao Bao was able to be filmed."
Liu Hongmin couldn't help laughing, "They also get scared sometimes?"
