Back to 80: My Literary Life

The other is the character of King Zhou.

In previous works, King Zhou would be described as a fatuous and ignorant king who was at the mercy of women and sycophants. This setting is very thin, like a symbol, more like an empty shell. Which king who has subjugated his country is not like this?

But in this movie, King Zhou is set very full. He is a decisive and decisive commander, a second son who is not favored by his father, an ambitious man who wants to dominate the world, a powerful power controller in the city, and a skilled PUA master.

To respect your opponent is to respect yourself. A difficult opponent like King Zhou would add dramatic tension to the entire story.

What's more, Daji is no longer a beauty and a scourge, and she has no influence on King Zhou's decision. She is just an amplifier of King Zhou's desires.

She is simple and has no good or evil to speak of. She just comes to repay King Zhou for his kindness in unblocking her.

King Zhou is the source of all evil!

But there are also some problems, such as too many characters, the guest taking the host position, and even the important character Jiang Ziya being reduced to a nonsensical character who is mentally retarded and incompetent, etc., which need to be solved this time.

Write slowly.

By early December, the script was finally completed.

I immediately called Zhang Yimou to pick up the script.

After Zhang Yimou carefully read the script, he was quite satisfied. It was much better than the original "House of Flying Daggers".

"Minghua, do you think there will be a sequel to this script? Is it going to be like "Harry Potter"?" Zhang Yimou asked.

"I have such an idea." Fang Minghao did not hide it: "If the audience responds well to the first part, we can definitely make a sequel. Fengshen Yanyi is a big IP, and we must make good use of it."

"Okay, then I'll make preparations."

Zhang Yimou rushed away in excitement.

In the evening, Song Tangtang came back from work and changed into home clothes. She looked very happy and hummed "Ode to Red Plum Blossoms".

Red plum blossoms bloom on red rocks

Thousands of miles of frost underfoot

Why should we be afraid of the severe cold?

A loyal heart opens to the sun

Open to the sun

Fang Minghua was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading the newspaper. When he saw this scene, he smiled and said, "Why are you so happy? Could it be that Zhang Yimou is planning to make a new movie?"

"Of course not, look at this." Song Tangtang took out a document from the bag he carried back and handed it to the other party.

Fang Minghua took it and took a look.

The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and the Ministry of Culture jointly issued the "Implementation Rules on Reforming the Film Distribution and Exhibition Mechanism"!

There is a lot of content.

But the most critical thing is: it proposes "implementing a distribution and screening mechanism based on theater chains, reducing the distribution levels, changing the film supply model according to the administrative region plan, changing a single multi-level distribution to a first-level distribution dominated by theater lines, and distributing Companies and production units directly supply films to theater companies.

Wherever there is no theater chain before June 1, 2002, the supply of imported sub-account films to them will be stopped (except for approved areas)."

Fang Minghua handed it to Song Tangtang after reading it and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Tangtang, your long-cherished wish will come true."

"Yes, Shengshi Film and Television can have its own theater chain system." Song Tangtang sighed with emotion.

“My initial plan is to establish Shengshi Cinemas in ten major cities including Xijing, Yanjing, Shanghai, and Huacheng in the first phase, and then add ten to fifteen more in the second phase, aiming to expand within five to eight years. It will cover major large and medium-sized cities across the country within the year!”

"By then, two or three movie theaters will be established in key cities such as Xijing and Yanjing, and Shengshi Film and Television will become the largest cinema chain company in the country!"

Song Tangtang looked proud.

This is directly stealing Wanda’s limelight.

Fang Minghua sighed secretly.

Since blockbusters such as "Harry Potter" and "Heroes" were released, Shengshi Film and Television now has more than 4 billion in cash and is worried about having nowhere to spend it.

"Tangtang, pay attention to your health and don't be tired." Fang Minghua couldn't help but warn his wife as she watched her getting blood injections.

"I'm in good health."

As Song Tangtang spoke, he jumped excitedly and performed a one-shot in the air, which made Fang Minghua shake his head.

Take it easy.

I thought I was a girl in her twenties.

However, although my daughter-in-law is not young, her body is very flexible and she insists on practicing yoga every day.

Soon, Shengshi Film and Television announced its plan through the media and began an ambitious horse racing and land staking campaign.

Song Tangtang had a busy day and couldn't leave home. He took the team to Yanjing, Shanghai and other major cities.

At the end of the year, Fang Minghua also left for Yanjing. The Sixth National Congress of the Writers Association was held in Yanjing in mid-December.

Fang Minghua, as the deputy head of the delegation of the Qin Provincial Writers Association (the head of the delegation is Chen Zhongshi), participated in this meeting with more than 30 people from the Qin Provincial delegation.

This conference elected a new leadership member of the Writers Association. The chairman is still Palladium, and the vice-chairmen are Wang Meng, Ye Xin, Li Cunbao, Zhang Ping, Chen Zhongshi, Chen Jiangong and other 14 people.

Fang Minghua, Wang Anyi, Chi Li, Zhang Xianliang, Han Shaogong, Shu Ting and other 21 people were elected as members of the presidium.

In fact, according to Fang Minghua's idea, he didn't want to be a member of the presidium. He didn't want to be the chairman of the Qin Provincial Writers Association. Does he still care about this?

But I couldn’t quit my job.

After the conference, it is also an opportunity for friends to get together.

Shi Tiiesheng, Yu Hua, Mo Yan, Su Tong, Wang Anyi, Han Shaogong and Fang Minghua usually have good relations, whether they came to attend the meeting this time or not, they got together for a meal.

The representatives returned one after another. Fang Minghua was not in a hurry to return to Xijing. His daughter Fang Rui returned from San Francisco during the winter vacation. Fang Minghua decided to return to Xijing with his daughter and visit old friends.

At noon today, Fang Minghua called the director of Shengshi Group's Beijing office and asked him to drive a car over. He would go to the airport to pick up his daughter in person.

After waiting in the terminal for half an hour, Fang Minghua saw his daughter wearing a goose yellow down jacket and a pink woolen hat appear at the customs security checkpoint.

His daughter also saw it and waved to him excitedly.

"Dad!"

"Godfather!"

Fang Minghua then noticed that a girl of the same height as her was following behind his daughter. She was wearing a white down jacket and a red woolen hat. He didn't notice it at first. It was not until the girl called him that he saw clearly that it was Liu Yifei.

There was also a young woman in a tweed coat behind her, looking at him with a smile on her face.

Liu Xiaoli

Fang Minghua was surprised: "How did you get together?"

"Xixi is also going back to China for the holidays. We chatted on MSN Messenger and agreed to come back together. Aunt Liu brought her to San Francisco, so we came back together." Fang Rui explained.

So that's it.

"Xiao Li, are you going back to Harbin?" Fang Minghua greeted with a smile.

"Well, I haven't been back for several years. I'm going back to see my parents this year. I'll go to Taipei after the Spring Festival."
