Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

After sending Lin Zhengying and Zhong Fa away, it wasn't long before Huang Ying came to Lin Daoqiu's office with the manuscript he had written.

"Mr. Lin, please take a look."

Huang Ying looked a little nervous, and handed the manuscript to Lin Daoqiu respectfully, then returned to the chair and sat down, staring at the other person closely.

After receiving this task from Lin Daoqiu, Huang Ying devoted all his energy to the creation of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Although I have obtained the outline of this play from Lin Daoqiu, it is not an easy task to write the novel well.

As he wrote, Huang Ying would inevitably have his own ideas, but due to Lin Daoqiu's restrictions, he still felt a little painful when writing.

But on the other hand, Huang Ying himself knew very well that this was probably the best opportunity he had ever encountered in his life.

As long as you grasp it, you will skyrocket to fame and fortune.

While Huang Ying was still thinking about it, Lin Daoqiu had already carefully started to read the book "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" written by Huang Ying.

The cynical Li Xiaoyao, the stern but loving aunt, the seemingly down-and-out but talented beggar, and the mysterious Hei Miao man.

The plot of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" can be said to be very compact from the beginning.

As he read it, Lin Daoqiu's attention was completely focused on this novel.

Unknowingly, an hour passed like this. When Lin Daoqiu came to his senses, he realized that he seemed to have exposed Huang Ying to the sun for too long.

"Sorry, I accidentally fell in love with it. It seems that I have found the right person this time."

I have to say that compared with ordinary writers, excellent writers like Huang Ying do not deserve their fame in vain.

In terms of the characterization of the characters, the description of the surrounding things, the rhythm and promotion of the plot, it can be said that Huo Hou is masterful.

Hearing Lin Daoqiu's praise, Huang Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Originally, he was worried that Lin Daoqiu would not be too satisfied at first and would need to make more modifications.

"Mr. Lin is so polite. This is also because the outline you gave is complete enough. On this basis, it is much easier for me to write."

Huang Ying was just being polite. Even if Lin Daoqiu gave him a complete outline, if you want to write an excellent novel, having a complete outline is far from enough.

"Screenwriter Huang, you don't have to be polite to me. I am also a screenwriter myself. Although I have never written a novel, I also know that compared with writing a screenplay, writing a novel is not as difficult as usual."

Lin Daoqiu never thought of taking away Huang Ying's credit, because he didn't need and had no need to do so.

It seemed that Huang Ying was a little embarrassed. In this situation, he didn't know what to say.

But for him, as long as Lin Daoqiu can be satisfied, everything will be fine.

"I plan to serialize this novel in Oriental Daily."

Lin Daoqiu has even thought about serializing the novel.

Huang Ying was not surprised at all that Lin Daoqiu chose Oriental Daily.

But what he actually didn't know was that the reason why Lin Daoqiu chose "Oriental Daily" was because he was not familiar with "Sing Tao Daily".

As for "Ming Pao", because when Lin Daoqiu was filming "The Swordsman", Lin Daoqiu made random changes and made Da Xia Jin angry, so Lin Daoqiu naturally would not go to "Ming Pao" to cooperate.

At this time, among the many newspapers in Hong Kong, "Oriental Daily" was considered the most influential. Previously, it had been competing with "Ming Pao" and "Sing Tao Daily" in terms of sales.

But a few years ago, the owners of "Oriental Daily", Ma Xiru and Ma Xizhen, were found guilty of drug trafficking, and Ma Xiru fled to Baodao.

His younger brother Ma Xizhen failed to escape in time and was arrested by the police.

Later, a film company tycoon and more than 20 justices of the peace vouched for Ma Xizhen, and he was released on bail.

But what I didn't expect was that after Ma Xizhen was released on bail, she immediately abandoned the bail and fled to Treasure Island. As a result, a large number of people were implicated.

Therefore, it can be said that the life of Oriental Daily in Xiangjiang has been very difficult in recent years.

At the helm of "Oriental Daily" at this time was Ma Xiru's son Ma Shaoqiang, who is only 25 years old now.

But in fact, as early as 1978, not long after the Ma brothers absconded, Ma Shaoqiang had already become the person in charge of Oriental Daily.

Over the past four years, he has transformed from a young man who knew nothing to a calm man.

Thanks to his efforts, "Oriental Daily" did not decline as a result, but managed to survive.

…………

As usual, Ma Shaoqiang was sitting in his office handling things.

At this time, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

Ma Shaoqiang picked up the phone and spoke.

"Hello, I am Ma Shaoqiang."

The name that came over the phone made Ma Shaoqiang stunned for a moment, and then he looked confused.

The phone call didn't last long. In less than a minute, Ma Shaoqiang put the phone down.

The person who called him was Lin Daoqiu, the boss of New Oriental, who was a Hong Kong movie tycoon.

Although Ma Shaoqiang has not been involved in the film industry, his "Oriental Daily" publishes things related to New Oriental almost every day.

Lin Daoqiu called him suddenly. He actually didn't say anything, he just said that he wanted to treat him to afternoon tea.

Naturally, Ma Shaoqiang would not refuse Lin Daoqiu's sudden invitation. He even vaguely felt that something good might happen to him when he met Lin Daoqiu this time.

After sitting for a while, Ma Shaoqiang got up and walked out of his office. After a few words to his secretary at the door, he left the company alone and went to the place he had made an appointment with Lin Daoqiu.

When Ma Shaoqiang arrived at the teahouse's box as promised, he found a young man sitting inside.

"If I guess correctly, you are Mr. Lin Daoqiulin, who is famous in Hong Kong, right?"

Ma Shaoqiang walked over with a smile, and then stretched out his hand towards Lin Daoqiu.

Although he had been mentally prepared for it, when he saw Lin Daoqiu, Ma Shaoqiang was still surprised by his youth.

Lin Daoqiu had already stood up when Ma Shaoqiang came in, and then stepped forward to shake hands with him.

While Ma Shaoqiang was sizing him up, Lin Daoqiu was also sizing him up.

At the age of 22, he was appointed to take over the "Oriental Daily" at the critical moment. Under such unfavorable circumstances, he was able to maintain the "Oriental Daily" so well.

Although a large part of this is due to the fact that the operation of "Oriental Daily" was originally very smooth and no major changes occurred.

There were no financial problems, but that didn't mean that Ma Shaoqiang didn't do anything.
