Chapter 33 Being underestimated How could Liu Hongmin tell the solution without the copyright? Otherwise, if the problem is solved and the copyright belongs to someone else, wouldn't Liu Hongmin lose a lot? Moreover, he also needs to read Jin Yong's novel in detail to see if there is any discrepancy with his impression. If there is any problem in it, that method may not work. The topic ended here, but Luo Baoming wanted to continue asking questions. Zou Shifang immediately urged him to drink, and after a few sips, Luo Baoming was drunk. After sending the two back to the guesthouse, the six people returned to Uncle Wang's hotel again. Chen Jiangong asked: "Hongmin, do you want to be a self-employed person?" Liu Hongmin shook his head. "I can't do it myself. I don't have the brains to do it. Publishing Jinyong's novels is just to be affiliated with the publishing house and make some cultural money." Nowadays, making money from cultural activities is not criticized, but rather admired. Therefore, writers are the most popular profession in this era, and there are countless well-known writers, more than celebrities. Chen Jiangong nodded, "I'm really afraid that you will become a self-employed person, otherwise your talent will be wasted." Liu Hongmin waved his hand modestly, "What talent do I have? It's just luck." Liu Zhenyun: "Hongmin, you are too modest. You are now the key talent to be cultivated by the History Department."
Chen Jiangong added: "The school leaders also value you. You came half a year later than us, but your admission process has already caught up with us. To be honest, many people are jealous of you!" Liu Hongmin waved his hand, "Luck, it's all luck!" Cha Jianying was laughing secretly on the side. This guy said it was luck, but could he please take that smile off his face? It was too glaring. Liu Hongmin was extremely busy in the next few days. He had to ask Professor Tao for leave to finish his project for this semester. Professor Tao gave Liu Hongmin leave because Liu Hongmin's project was very offensive. Once it was published, half of the history department might regard Liu Hongmin as an enemy. It was just right for Liu Hongmin to go to Hong Kong, so he could avoid this disturbance. When Liu Hongmin came back, things would probably be much calmer. After finishing the paper, Liu Hongmin followed Manager Huang and Luo Baoming on a plane to Hong Kong. More than ten hours later, the plane landed between tall buildings. Liu Hongmin was terrified, it was too dangerous. Manager Huang and Luo Baoming were used to it; they had long been accustomed to it. "Don't worry, Kai Tak Airport has hundreds of planes taking off and landing every day, and none of them have crashed into the building." Liu Hongmin sneered in his heart, you don’t know how the World Trade Center disappeared. I followed Manager Huang to the RTV office building and first met General Manager Huang. Manager Huang is General Manager Huang's nephew, but he did not get to the top through connections. He himself was a top student at Cambridge University. After returning to Hong Kong, he worked in many large companies. It was General Manager Huang who pulled Manager Huang over with his personal connections. Otherwise, Manager Huang would not have taken RTV seriously. It was also Manager Huang's idea to hire Liu Hongmin as a consultant. Although Manager Huang disagreed, he supported his nephew's decision. Seeing the immature Liu Hongmin now, he was even more disapproving. He said a few perfunctory words and sent Liu Hongmin away. Liu Hongmin found it a little funny. Was he being looked down upon? However, this is just the beginning. Manager Huang took him to meet Shao Bao’s director, “Mr. Liu, this is Shao Bao’s director Xu Xiaoming.” "Brother Xiaoming, this is Liu Hongmin, the author of Shao Bao. From now on, he will be the consultant of the play Shao Bao."
Xu Xiaoming looked Liu Hongmin up and down, and complained to Manager Huang unhappily: "Brother Qiang, please stop messing with me. We are making a TV series, why do you let a northerner be a consultant? And he's so young." Manager Huang glanced at Liu Hongmin and found that he didn't understand Xu Xiaoming's Cantonese, so he breathed a sigh of relief. "Xiaoming, Mr. Liu is not just any young man. He is a top student at Beijing University. Besides, Shao Bao is his work. No one knows Shao Bao better than him." "How does Kyoto University rank in the world? How can he be a consultant if he can't even understand Cantonese? Should we hire a translator for him?" Just when Manager Huang was about to persuade him again, Liu Hongmin suddenly spoke. "Mr. Huang, he said he didn't want me to work anymore, not that I don't want to do it anymore. So, I will not return the 15,000 Hong Kong dollars." Manager Huang was confused when he heard this. Although he invited Liu Hongmin, he only saw him as the author of the book. But if Liu Hongmin does not participate, TVB will immediately seize the opportunity and become a black spot for RTV. "Xiaoming, I know you're not very satisfied, but for RTV's sake, you can film some of his work, and then we can take some photos for publicity." Xu Xiaoming had no choice but to say, "Brother Qiang, we agreed to just take a few photos, and then you can take him away quickly." "no problem!" Manager Huang quickly agreed, and then called the crew's photographer, "Take as many photos of Mr. Liu as possible to make him look more intelligent." After a while, Xu Xiaoming had the script delivered. Liu Hongmin smiled and asked, "Doesn't he welcome me?" The staff member who delivered the script understood Mandarin and immediately said unhappily, "Beizai, take your photos well and don't cause trouble." After saying that, he threw the script on the table and left. Manager Huang quickly tried to smooth things over, "Mr. Liu, this is not the mainland, so it's better for you to keep a low profile." Liu Hongmin smiled faintly and said, "Manager Huang, I really don't know where your superiority comes from." As he spoke, he picked up the script, which was written entirely in traditional Chinese characters. However, this did not affect Liu Hongmin's speed. He finished reading a page in a short while, just like reading a simplified Chinese script, and finished reading the script of "Famous World" in a few minutes. Manager Huang saw this and asked, "How is it? Is the script okay?" Liu Hongmin threw the script on the table and said, "Not very good!" Manager Huang was stunned for a moment, then picked up the script and started reading it. Not long after, he looked at Liu Hongmin in astonishment, "Mr. Liu, this script is already very good." "Do you really think so?" Liu Hongmin squinted at him. "If you're going to shoot this, you might as well just shoot it according to what's written in the book. That way you can save a lot of money. At least you don't need to hire a screenwriter." Manager Huang knew he didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only say, "Mr. Liu, don't say that! Hong Kong doesn't use scripts to shoot movies and TV series. Even so, we still shot many classic works." "It's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse, plus the broadcasting system here makes those rubbish dramas cut off. Otherwise, you will find that there are far more rubbish dramas than classics." Manager Huang was helpless. He did not expect that Liu Hongmin would have a conflict with Xu Xiaoming after returning to Hong Kong. This unexpected change gave Manager Huang a headache.
