"Shanghai Bund" finally ushered in its finale after nearly a month of airing.

Countless ordinary families in Hong Kong sat around the TV, hoping that the love between Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chengcheng would eventually bear fruit. Even the young and dandy who usually wandered on the streets would go home early to turn on the TV.

When the last episode of "Shanghai Bund" was aired, TVB's ratings jumped to 76%, almost causing the leader of the TV series team to explode.

As we all know, the final outcome of "Shanghai Bund" is a tragedy...

His x-ray, which director filmed, actually killed Xu Wenqiang.If I meet him, I will kill him with one sword!

Brother Ji, the TV plot is written by the screenwriter.

Who is that ugly screenwriter?

Who is the screenwriter of "Shanghai Bund"?

In the next month, this problem occurred very frequently among Hong Kong citizens.

Not only did Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chengcheng not be together in the end, but Xu Wenqiang was killed at the end of the film. The TV screenwriter was simply unforgivable!

When Jin Yong serialized "The Return of the Condor Heroes" in the newspaper, Yin Zhiping changed his job as a Dragon Knight, but someone was carrying gasoline to pour it on Jin Yong's door.

Kang Jianfei's name became a household name again. It was not until the end of "Shanghai Band" that more and more people discovered that the screenwriter of "Shanghai Band" was actually the author of "The Legend of Qin".

Many angry fans of "Shanghai Bund" simply ran to block the door of "Oriental Daily" and strongly asked Kang Jianfei to write "Shanghai Bund" into a novel and must let Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chengcheng be together.

……

Kang Jianfei took a car to the Oriental Newspaper Building. As soon as he got off the car, he saw a group of students surrounding the gate. Some big words were painted with red paint on the wall: Kang Jianfei would not die well!

Seeing those blood-red words, Kang Jianfei couldn't help but shivered and said in his heart: Which idiot wrote it?The handwriting is even ugly than me!

Kang Jianfei didn't dare to walk through the main entrance, so he quietly went to the underground parking lot, and then took the elevator up.He greeted Ma Chengkun's secretary, and knocked directly into the chairman's office without having to report.

When Ma Chengkun saw Kang Jianfei, he laughed and said: Brother, you have hurt your brother this time. Someone blocked the newspaper office every day and said that I want me to hand you over.

Kang Jianfei asked: Are these people coming every day?Persevering enough.

Ma Chengkun smiled and said: Who is so idle and blocking the door and playing every day?They all came in different ways, and a group of people stayed for at most an hour or two before leaving.These people are really full. What's the use of finding a screenwriter after the TV is broadcast.

Kang Jianfei winked and said: Didn’t those people say that I wanted me to write "Shanghai Band" into a novel and then change it to a happy ending?This is something that "Oriental Daily" can do, find a pen to be a gunman for me, and jointly sign it to adapt it into a novel, serialize it and publish it, and make money together.

Ma Chengkun said in surprise: Isn’t the copyright of “Shanghai Bund” on TVB?You can't make money if you adapt it into a novel.

TVB only has the film and television copyright of "Shanghai Band", and the copyright of the novel is still in my hands.Kang Jianfei smiled.

In fact, after the screenwriter sells the script to the producer, the copyright usually belongs to the producer.However, when Kang Jianfei sold the script, he deliberately left himself the copyright of the novel on the contract.

At this time, in Hong Kong, there were only novels adapted into TV series and movies. I have never heard of anyone who made money by adapting film and television works into novels. Therefore, Wang Tianlin did not care about this loophole when he bought the script.

When Ma Chengkun heard that the copyright of the novel was still in Kang Jianfei's hands, the two hit it off and decided that Ma Chengkun would find someone to write for Kang Jianfei, add an adapted novel, and serialize it in the new page in the Oriental Daily.

As for the royalties, Kang Jianfei received 50 yuan in a thousand words alone, and as for the man who wrote the man, he probably could only get 50 yuan in a thousand words.

Kang Jianfei likes to make money like this. He doesn't need to move his fingers, and he can earn royalties by sitting. If he can be compiled and published in the future, he can make another profit.

Adapting "Shanghai Band" into a novel is just a matter of some details. Kang Jianfei is here to find Ma Chengkun today, mainly talking about promotional advertisements.

At the beginning, Ma Chengkun promised Kang Jianfei that he would give him a free promotional advertisement for half a month in Oriental Daily and Oriental Fashion.

Regarding Kang Jianfei's movies, Ma Chengkun has always been willing to watch the show, and even expected Kang Jianfei to lose all his money, and then came back to write a novel for the Oriental Daily with peace of mind.

Ma Chengkun asked with a smile: You said on the phone that you came to send advertising posters. Has your movie been released in the theater?

Kang Jianfei took out several promotional posters of "Happy Ghost" that had been prepared long ago, spread them on Ma Chengkun's desk, and said: Just click on this one!

The poster of "Happy Ghost" is very cheerful, with the main color being bright red, and the center is naturally three beautiful girls. The Happy Ghost played by Hu Juncai is wearing the Qing Dynasty official uniform and exaggerated expression as the background. In addition, Shen Dianxia's image is also very prominent, and the thin Tsui Hark is so beautiful that he is pulled by the fat Shen Dianxia's ears.

What surprised Ma Chengkun was not these, but the text content on the promotional posters:

The first comedy in 1980, the 18 theaters in the Golden Princess Cinemas were screened online

The whole family is happy all year round when they encounter "Happy Ghost" in the New Year

Feifei Shen Dianxia is sweet as a green leaf, and the new director Tsui Hark makes a guest appearance

Kang Jianfei, the author of "The Legend of Qin" and screenwriter of "Shanghai Bund", directed and acted as a New Year's blockbuster film by himself.

……

Ma Chengkun looked at Kang Jianfei like he was a ghost, pointed to the poster and asked: Are your movies connected to all eighteen theaters?

Kang Jianfei smiled and said: Do you think I would use such a thing to make fun of it?

……

Mr. Lei, I think you are looking for happiness with us!

In the conference room of Lisheng Cinema, three shareholders of the theater gathered together. The topic of debate was naturally the small-budget movies of all eighteen cinemas that all joined forces to screen a new director.

All shareholders, including Lei Juekun's confidant and Li Maowen, general manager of Lisheng Cinema, think Lei Juekun's brain is broken.

In the entire Lisheng Cinema, Lei Juekun initially only had four cinemas: Lisheng, Lesheng, Kaisheng and Huasheng. Recently, he bought four cinemas including Kinmen and Minle.

That is to say, among the 18 cinemas in Lisheng Theater, Lei Juekun has wholly owned the company, and the other 10 are franchised or rented.

Among them, shareholder Chen Rongmei owns 3 cinemas and shareholder Feng Bingzhong owns 2 cinemas. In another time and space, these two people will break up with Lei Juekun in the future and run away to establish Xinbao Cinemas.

Li Maowen, general manager of Lisheng Cinema, advised: Boss, running a theater is not like doing other businesses.We have a joint screening of 18 theaters. If that movie is too bad and there are only a few viewers in more than ten theaters, it will not only lose money, but also become a laughing stock in the industry!

I have watched the movie "Happy Ghost" and I think it can be fully supported by the joint screening of 18 theaters.

Lei Juekun said firmly.

He valued Kang Jianfei, not the movie "Happy Ghost". It doesn't matter if he loses this time, and there are opportunities to earn back in the future.

It is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is hard to find a general. Lei Juekun has been lying across Xiangjiang for decades, and his vision is very accurate.

In another time and space, when Boss Lei supported Mai Jia, Chen Xunqi, Tsui Hark and others, he never saw it.

What's more, Kang Jianfei has already formulated a very complete New Year's film plan with Lei Juekun, and Lei Juekun believes that their plan will definitely succeed!

Li Maowen was still insisting: Boss, why don’t we show eight theaters first and see what the situation is?

Lei Juekun waved his hand and said: No need to say anything, I will bear the problem alone.Half a month later, the decoration of each theater will be over. A press conference will be held at that time to announce that Lisheng Cinemas officially renamed Jin Princess Cinemas and the theater guarantee system will be abolished.It will definitely cause a sensation at that time and can attract some good movies to be released in our theaters.Next is the New Year promotion plan, with the main movie "Happy Ghost" and other movies as supplements, striving to earn a lot of money.By the way, it is very important to choose films when scheduling. This time, comedy and love scenes are preferred. It is not good to fight and kill during the Chinese New Year...

Lei Juekun alone owns 8 cinemas, and he rents another 5 cinemas. Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong's shareholders could not reject his decision, so they could only agree with dissatisfaction.
