Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 4 Jin Yong Imitation Show
Things were going very smoothly. The Kowloon Walled City had a reputation for being vicious, and no matter how arrogant the members of those associations were, they would not dare to rush into the Walled City and kill people.

You know, a few months ago, the British Hong Kong government organized [-] police officers to clear out the Kowloon Walled City. In the end, they encountered fierce resistance and were defeated.

Even if you can’t write a note, the club is nothing.

And just like Yang Ye said, it's useless even if you hack these people to death.

Everyone comes out to hang out to make money!
Since someone is willing to take over, those associations naturally want it.

Moreover, Yang Ye is a wealthy person. If it is not feasible, it is better to use his building to pay off the debt.

According to the promised daily interest rate of 40 yuan, Yang Ye has to pay back nearly [-] Hong Kong dollars every month. Where can he get so much money?
Yang Ye thought about it and found that there was no need to do it at all.

Although he does not know the specific trend of each stock, he knows that Hong Kong stocks will steadily rebound starting next year.

So he only needs to use the savings on hand to survive for two months, and then throw a little bit every month to pay interest.

Two years later, he returned all the principal and still had tens of millions of stocks left in his hand.

In a few years, these tens of millions will turn into hundreds of millions.

In other words, from now on, he only needs to lie at home for a few years before he becomes a billionaire.

……

But Yang Ye thinks this is meaningless.

I have traveled through time, and I still have a plug-in. I can earn back this little money in interest even if I don’t sell stocks, right?

For example, he can now scan celebrities to obtain a large amount of their information, and then he can use the privacy of these people to blackmail them.

However, the risk of this kind of illegal thing is too high, and Yang Ye has no interest in doing it.

He can also spend some money to set up a gossip magazine, and if he knows which celebrities are going to do something, he can go there in advance and take pictures.

But this is meaningless. So what if you become the king of paparazzi?Gods hate it and ghosts hate it, and it offends everyone.

This plug-in can be used to peek into people's privacy, but it cannot be used casually. Use it at critical moments and it can be of great use.It’s too low if you use it all the time.

Therefore, the privacy hanger Yang Ye will not use it easily, and even if it is used, it will not be known to others.

For example, if he needs to see a person's information, he will only keep it in his mind and will not say it out easily.

In addition to privacy hangers, Yangye has many other uses.

For example, you can start an industry and make a lot of money by just making some things for future generations, but Yang Ye has no interest in it.

Yang Ye didn't know why he wasn't interested.

Maybe this is an entertainment article and the author doesn’t allow it.

So, in this era, is there any way to make money quickly without any upfront investment?
Of course there are, such as writing novels and songs.

As long as you copy those classic novels and songs from later generations, you can get a lot of money, easily!

After getting the start-up capital, I will make a movie and have close contact with the beauties of this era. Have fun!
Thanks to the blessing of "divine power", these things are all ready-made. With these things, it is not impossible to build an entertainment empire.

……

Yang Ye thought about it for a while, and chose between music and novels... I want them all!
These days, Hong Kong music has not developed at all. Since the British conquest of Hong Kong began to implement de-Sinicization in 1968, schools are no longer allowed to teach Mandarin. Therefore, Mandarin songs are gradually declining, and English songs are popular on the streets.

As for Cantonese songs, they are not on the stage yet.

The Wenner band, which was just established this year, mainly covers English songs.

And the generation of singing god Xu Guanjie will not release the Cantonese album "Ghost Horse Double Star" until next year, marking the beginning of Hong Kong's Cantonese pop music.

In this case... the title of the Patriarch of Cantonese Song belongs to Yang Ye!
However, Yang Ye had not yet decided which songs to choose. He decided to finish the novel first.

When writing novels, it is natural to write about the most popular martial arts novels.

Just last year, Jin Yong announced that he would stop writing, and the world belongs to Gu Long.

The works of these two great masters cannot be copied, and Wen Ruian has already written "Four Famous Catchers", so he cannot be copied either.

Liang Yusheng was older than Jin Yong, and his novels are boring, so don’t copy them.

Are you copying Huang Yi's pornographic articles?Or copying Internet articles from later generations?
Pornographic articles can be copied, but Internet articles are too advanced for this era, so forget it.

But... Yang Ye suddenly thought that although Jin Yong has stopped writing, the enthusiasm for Jin Yong's novels is still there.

There was a person in later generations who wrote a novel that can be called a super imitation show of Jin Yong.

This person's name is Feng Ge, and the novels he wrote are called "Kunlun" and "Canghai".

In the era of new martial arts in mainland China, "Kunlun" became very popular on the platform of "Legendary Martial Arts Edition of Modern and Ancient Times", with sales exceeding one million copies, and was hailed as the flagship work of "new martial arts in mainland China".

The public's evaluation of this book is... very Jin Yong.

If you copy "Kunlun", it will definitely be very popular, right?
Well, that's it.

……

Yang Ye decided to copy "Kunlun" and publish it in "Ming Pao", and the royalties were second.

The main purpose is to establish a relationship with Jin Yong, so that it will be much more convenient to buy the copyright of his novels.In this era, the copyright of Jin Yong's novels is a golden mountain!

There is a prequel to "Kunlun" called "The Iron-Blooded Prodigy", which is only [-] words long.

Feng Ge originally put this novel on the original literary website "Under the Banyan Tree" for free viewing. It became popular and everyone said that this novel was the true biography of Jin Yong.

Soon after, the editor-in-chief of "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times" saw this novel. At that time, the magazine was preparing to launch a "martial arts edition" and invited Feng Ge to edit the martial arts edition.

After Feng Ge arrived at "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times", he started the serialization of "Kunlun". Not only did he bring the "Martial Arts Edition" to the top with this book, he was also named the No. 1 New Martial Arts in Mainland China.

Yang Ye found a pile of manuscript paper, sat at the table, and began to code stroke by stroke, sighing as he typed.

"These days, we don't even have a personal computer, and we have to write by hand. It's so damn tiring!"

I wrote for three days in one breath and finally finished "The Iron-Blooded Prodigy".

Yang Ye stretched out, shook his nearly exhausted wrist, and glanced out the window.

It was gray and I didn’t know if it was day or night.

The houses in the Kowloon Walled City are stacked one on top of another, blocking out the sky and the sun. Only at noon can one see a beam of sunlight shining directly from the fort in the center of the walled city.

Yang Ye put the manuscript away, washed up and went downstairs. He planned to have something to eat, and then headed to the Ming Pao Building with the manuscript.

Since there is no distinction between day and night, there are shops in the walled city open 24 hours a day.

The walled city was as big as a palm. After Yang Ye walked a few steps, he met Gao Laoming, who was discussing business with someone.

A young girl in uniform was standing in front of a pink light sign, waving and shouting: "Student girl, student girl, do you want it?"

Gao Laoming asked obscenely: "How much?"

"100 yuan!"

"Can the whole set be 50 yuan?"

"Go find your mother!"

Yang Ye Lengjun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

When the "student girl" saw Yang Ye, she winked at him and said softly: "Young Master Yang, come and play. I won't charge you."

Yang Ye touched his chin and said to himself: "Do you still have this kind of treatment?"

He laughed dryly and said, "I still have something to do, next time, next time!"

Gao Lao Ming said: "Young Master Yang, where are you going?"

"I have something to do, don't follow me."

Yang Ye continued to walk forward, but heard Gao Laoming say: "Is there any mistake? Why is Young Master Yang free of charge?"

"Young Master Yang is handsome and majestic. I'm willing to do whatever it takes!"

……

Yang Ye bought a copy of "Ming Pao" on the roadside, and also bought a map. He compared it with the map and rode his motorcycle all the way to the Ming Pao building.

He was not interested in submitting articles by mail. It was too slow and unsafe. What if the editor went blind?
So, just bring your manuscript and submit it directly to your door.

"Ming Pao" is a newspaper jointly founded by Jin Yong and Shen Baoxin in 1959. Shen Baoxin is in charge of business operations, Jin Yong is in charge of editorial affairs, and there is an assistant named Pan Yuesheng.

After more than ten years of development, Pan Yuesheng has become the chief editor.

Yang Ye didn't expect to see Jin Yong, just meeting Pan Yuesheng was enough.

In 1972, an undersea tunnel was built between Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. Now there is no need to take the Star Ferry to cross the sea, which is very convenient.

Yang Ye quickly arrived at the Ming Pao Building, locked his motorcycle, and walked in happily with his manuscript.

All Mingpao employees in the building were working in an orderly manner. Yang Ye asked where the chief editor's office was, held his head high, and barged in directly.

Yang Ye came to the door of the editor-in-chief's office and was stopped by Pan Yuesheng's secretary. Yang Ye said, "Mr. Cha asked me to give his new book to Editor-in-Chief Pan for review."

When the secretary sister heard about Mr. Cha’s new book, she was confused. Didn’t Mr. Cha close the book? Where did the new book come from?
Just when she was stunned, Yang Ye knocked on the door of the editor-in-chief's office.

"Please come in!"

Yang Ye pushed open the door and entered. His secretary sister wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

In front of the huge desk, an old man with gray hair, glasses and a slightly chubby figure sat.

He asked in surprise: "You are?"

Yang Ye smiled and said: "Editor Pan, Mr. Cha asked me to show you his new book."

"Cha has a new book? Young man, you have to find a reliable excuse to lie. Don't you know that Mr. Cha has closed the book?"

Yang Ye took out the manuscript and said with a smile: "You can tell if it's true or false at a glance!"
