Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 668 Really dare to think

As a big celebrity in Hong Kong, it is rare to meet someone who has never heard of Lin Daoqiu's name.

In this era of lack of entertainment, movies and TV are one of the most important pastimes for the general public.

So when everyone learned that Lin Daoqiu actually wrote a novel called "Legend of Sword and Fairy", and it was serialized in "Oriental Daily".

Whether it is a loyal fan of Lin Daoqiu or anyone else, they all want to take a quick look and see what the novel written by Lin Daoqiu is like.

On weekdays, the sales volume of "Oriental Daily" is about [-] copies. Today, because of the serialization of Lin Daoqiu's "Legend of Sword and Fairy", [-] copies were reprinted.

Originally, both Ma Shaoqiang and Xu Jixin thought that even with Lin Daoqiu's support, it would be great if they could increase the sales of the newspaper by [-] to [-] copies.

But what they never expected was that at only ten o'clock in the morning, Ma Shaoqiang received a notice that shocked him.

"General Manager, the [-] copies of the newspaper have been sold out. Those merchants urged us to print more quickly. They said that today's newspapers are in short supply."

Ma Shaoqiang and Xu Jixin looked at each other, and they could read each other's shock from each other's eyes.

This was something that hadn't happened in many years. Looking up at the time on the wall, Ma Shaoqiang realized that it was only ten o'clock.

"Hurry up and notify the printing factory, and hurry up to print again, two... no, thirty thousand points."

Ma Shaoqiang looked very excited, and his voice trembled when he spoke.

"I know the general manager, I'll go right away."

Not only Ma Shaoqiang, but even Xu Jixin, an old Jianghu, was shocked by this news.

If it is said that the sales of the newspaper can be improved so much, there is really no other person in Xiangjiang except Jin Yong.

"General manager, it seems that your decision this time is very correct. Maybe we can take advantage of the momentum of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to regain the sales champion."

Originally, in Xu Jixin and Ma Shaoqiang's plan, it would be basically impossible for "Dongfang Daily" to rise again within five years.

And even if it is calculated on a five-year basis, it has to develop very smoothly to hope to be able to achieve it.

But now only one copy of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has saved them five years of hard work. This has to be amazing. Lin Daoqiu's golden signboard is too loud.

But Xu Jixin and Ma Shaoqiang still underestimated Lin Daoqiu's appeal.

The [-]-point newspaper that was printed that day was also sold out by the afternoon.

Looking at this momentum, the supply of 12 newspapers a day is in short supply.

"Tell the printing house, let them print from 15 points tomorrow."

When he said these words, Ma Shaoqiang's voice was already trembling.

I feel like I can only say such words in my dreams, but now it has become a reality.

"It's just so unreal."

Ma Shaoqiang pinched his thigh with an unconcealable smile on his face.

…………

"Why did Mr. Lin go to write martial arts novels?"

When I was writing the script at the company that day, someone brought back a copy of the "Oriental Daily" newspaper from outside.

Hearing that the people below were talking about this matter, Wang Jing immediately became interested and hurried to get the newspaper to read.

The plot of the first day of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is very simple, just a brief introduction of Li Xiaoyao's life experience.

For others, it's probably not enough to pique their interest.

But for Wang Jing, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a huge treasure.

Although Wang Jing didn't know how busy Lin Daoqiu was, he didn't think that the other party would come to write novels for no reason.

Thinking about it carefully, I am afraid that Lin Daoqiu's intention should be to fight Tsui Hark's "New Shushan Swordsman".

If that's the case, I'm afraid this "Legend of Sword and Fairy" will definitely be made into a movie, and it will be a big production.

Thinking of this, Wang Jing's heart began to agitate.

After all, being able to film a big production is not something that everyone can encounter.

In New Oriental, only those guys from New Art City have just enjoyed this treatment.

Although their production fee is only 1000 million, but in Hong Kong, this is already considered a big production.

At the celebration banquet that day, Shi Tian revealed when Bao Shaogang would invest in Tsui Hark's new movie.

After Wang Jing found out about this incident, she also felt itchy.

Now that there is such a good opportunity, Wang Jing naturally doesn't want to miss it.

But it is a pity that the relationship between him and Lin Daoqiu is not particularly good, so if you go to him rashly, you may be rejected, thus losing such a good opportunity.

So after careful consideration, Wang Jing decided to ask Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui to try Lin Daoqiu's tone.

After all, they can be said to be Lin Daoqiu's confidants and the people he trusts the most.

"Let's go find Brother Qiu?"

When Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui returned to the company, Wang Jing immediately went to the door.

After receiving the "Oriental Daily" handed over by Wang Jing, and hearing the other party's question, both Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui had surprised expressions on their faces.

Because they had never heard of it before, Lin Daoqiu actually wrote a martial arts novel.

"What's the matter? Don't you know about this?"

Wang Jing found that Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui didn't seem to know about Lin Daoqiu's novel writing.

The two shook their heads almost at the same time, because they only learned about it from Wang Jing.

…………

"What trouble did you encounter this time?"

Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui were sitting opposite Lin Daoqiu at this time, with smiles on their faces.

One look at the appearance of these two guys, it is clear that they must have something to ask for.

Not long ago, I helped them persuade Guan Zhilin to let her act in "The Palm of the Tathagata", but I didn't expect these two guys to come over again because they didn't make good preparations for the movie.

"Brother Qiu, the preparations for "The Tathagata God's Palm" are going well, and we haven't encountered any trouble."

Wen Jun quickly shook his head, they didn't come here today because of "The Palm of the Tathagata".

After hearing what Wen Jun said, Lin Daoqiu looked at him in surprise.

Since he didn't come here for the "Tathagata God's Palm", it must be for other things.

"Could it be, do you still want to add some stars to this drama?"

Lin Daoqiu never thought that they came for "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

"No, Brother Qiu, you misunderstood. We came to you today not because of the "Tathagata Palm"."

While Wen Jun was talking, Lin Daoqiu suddenly noticed that Zheng Danrui was holding a newspaper in his hand.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu suddenly realized that these two guys came to find their own purpose.

"You really dare to think..."
