The seventies were the most prosperous period for Hong Kong newspapers, and the palm-sized Hong Kong peninsula had nearly 70 newspapers at the same time. After fierce competition and survival of the fittest, there were only 55 Hong Kong newspapers left by 1982 and 38 in 1997.

According to the population of Hong Kong and the total circulation of newspapers at this time, almost every two and a half Hong Kong people would buy a newspaper, which is second only to Japan in Asia.

Now, it can be said that many newspapers are blooming.

However, Lin Li was already lazy and thoughtful, and directly asked Zou Wenhuai to help contact Ma Xizhen of the “Oriental Daily”.

Oriental Daily is a comprehensive daily newspaper of Xiangjiang. Founded on January 22, 1969. Founded by Ma Xizhen and others of Oriental Press Group. In the early days, the newspaper had more than 10 staff members, and one paper was published, which did not sell well. At the beginning of 1970, a famous artist was hired to write a dog sutra, and sales rose, and the newspaper increased to one and a half sheets. More than 80,000 copies were sold after one and a half years. In the autumn of 1972, the content of the supplement exceeded 110,000. Sales continued to expand the following year, with more than 300,000 copies sold daily.

It was still the beginning of 1972, and when he learned that Lin Li wanted to put his novel on his newspaper, Ma Xizhen personally came to find Lin Li.

And a sky-high price of a thousand words and a hundred was offered.

In this era, this price is already very high, and Lin Li does not care about these three walnuts and two dates.

Directly lost the novel to Ma Xizhen.

And Ma Xizhen is also an operation master, and immediately sold Jingwumen on the newspaper, and the sales of Oriental Daily at this time were quite good.

As soon as the citizens of Xiangjiang saw Jing Wumen’s novel, they immediately became excited and bought it one after another.

Even if the quality of the writing is poor, it doesn’t matter.

After all, everyone’s entertainment in this era is too scarce, and the first day of publishing Jingwumen’s novel immediately attracted the attention of the general public.

Bristling!

This name also attracted the attention of countless people at once, he is Fujita Gang of Jingwu Gate, and Zhang Pingan of Tangshan’s eldest brother.

Ma Xizhen is indeed a master of operations.

The focus is on Lin Li’s body, and now that the newspaper is still not famous enough, then start with the celebrity.

Lin Li, Bruce Lee, and the names that could be used were naturally used.

Originally, the citizens of Xiangjiang had some unfinished meaning after watching the Jingwumen movie, but now, seeing the novel, they naturally had some impatience.

The next day, the sales of the Oriental Daily increased from the original 110,000 to 120,000.

By the third day, it was 140,000.

On the fifth day, it was already as high as 160,000.

This number directly made Ma Xizhen dumbfounded, really underestimating the fame of Bruce Lee and Lin Li at this moment.

“Print! Print! ”

The whole Oriental Daily is almost crazy, in this era of lack of entertainment, many people are idle and bored to death.

This is simply unimaginable in future generations, but in this era, it is commonplace.

After Jin Yong knew all this, he was also sluggish for a long time, and frankly said that it would be better if Lin Li had not been let go.

However, Lin Li did not care about this at this time.

His studio was officially established.

Although it is still attached to Jiahe, Lin Lizhao’s employees basically need to come in person.

As for the office location, it is not very far from Jiahe.

Lin Li’s studio, currently mainly recruiting writers, simply put, Lin Li needs to find screenwriters.

As for the actors, top them themselves, or find them from Jiahe first.

As soon as Lin Li’s recruitment notice came out, many screenwriters applied.

In the 70s, Hong Kong’s screenwriting work did not receive much attention, and the salary for writing a script for a film was naturally not much, and many screenwriters lived a life with a long meal.

Nowadays, Lin Li has directly set up a studio, which is naturally flocked.

One person wrote three scripts, two of which are still exactly the same theme, this is all fire?

For a while, countless people were flocking to it.

Excellent scripts can add color to the film and increase box office revenue, which is an indisputable fact that “Jingwumen” is in front of the bosses of film and television companies, and then the senior management of film and television companies suddenly realized that a good script has such a box office guarantee.

Zou Wenhuai wants to win over Lin Li, and others will also come to contact Lin Li.

The title of “10 million box office screenwriter” has really attracted the attention of many film companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and after they were stimulated, they sent representatives to Lin Li to negotiate, and promised that as long as they wrote a popular script, they would not mind opening a price of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode.

You know, now even if it is Ni Box, Gulong and other predecessors to take revenge for each episode of the script, it is only 50,000-80,000 Hong Kong dollars, but Lin Li did not agree, and the head show was funny before agreeing.

I really thought that Lao Tzu was not worth much, and now I cooperate with Jiahe, the script fee of each movie is 200,000, and there are box office dividends above 5 million.

Lin Li interviewed many people in the afternoon.

However, obviously, their thinking was still rigid by this era, Lin Li did not care, and directly selected some screenwriters with good writing ability.

Six people remained.

Of course, it’s not for them to write the script.

Relying on them to write the script, it is estimated that the film made will be directly finished, and Lin Li let them start writing from the novel.

First modify the plot of “Brother Tangshan” to a certain extent.

Change it to a novel of 600,000 words.

Anyway, write it, the Oriental Daily definitely wants it.

Lin Li simply listed the outline, and then the screenwriter under him went to write it, and first spread out his own thinking.

As for the movie script, there are opportunities in the future.

Not everyone is like Lin Li, who has a lot of experience and enough.

Of course, six people, Lin Li, everyone arranged the task.

Give them an idea, a story outline, and then let them create it.

Lin Li’s side stabilized a little, and Zou Wenhuai couldn’t wait to meet him.

“Ali, how are you doing during this time?” Zou Wenhuai came to Lin Li’s office, drank a cup of tea, and couldn’t wait to speak: “When, prepare a new movie?” ”

In the blink of an eye, nearly three months had passed since the Jingwu Gate, and Lin Li still didn’t have any movement, but Zou Wenhuai was a little unable to sit still.

After Jingwumen, Jiahe also released several movies during this time, “God of War Beach”, “Iron Palm Whirlwind Legs”, “One-armed Boxing King”, however, the box office is not ideal, and it has not exceeded two million box office.

This made Zou Wenhuai a little restless.

Lin Li, this kid doesn’t open again, it feels as if no one knows about Jiahe.
