Chapter 14
: Fourteen [Novel Serialization]
When I returned to Kowloon, it was already dark. My cousin’s family had had dinner early, and my cousin’s aunt, Liang Ying, went to the night market to sell brine buffalo to make money.
Cousin Wu Ruiqing was watching TV. Seeing Kang Jianfei and Hu Juncai coming back, he immediately jumped off the sofa and asked with great anticipation, “I heard that my cousin went to Ming Pao to submit a manuscript. Has the manuscript passed?”
Hu Juncai was overjoyed at this moment, as if his own novel could be published in the newspaper. He restrained his smile and joked with Wu Ruiqing, sighing, “Alas, it’s a pity that Ming Pao did not receive it.”
“That’s it.” Wu Ruiqing sat back on the sofa with a disappointed face. It took him a lot of effort to revise “Xun Qin Ji”. When he heard that the novel was rejected by “Ming Pao”, he was so sad that he wanted to cry.
Uncle Wu Chenggang was quite happy and said with a smile: “A Fei, don’t be discouraged if your manuscript is rejected. This only proves that you are not suitable for writing novels, so you can be an actor in peace in the future.”
At this moment, Hu Juncai, who was frowning, suddenly grinned and said, “Haha, although A Fei’s novel was rejected by Ming Pao, it was accepted by Oriental Daily, and it will be officially serialized next week!”
“Wow!” Wu Ruiqing was stunned for a moment, but after reacting, he hugged Hu Juncai and jumped up and down to celebrate.
“Oriental Daily” Come on!
Cousin Wu Ruixue was lying on the table doing her homework. Hearing their cheers, she looked up suspiciously. But seeing her cousin holding a Barbie doll in his hand, he smiled at her and said, “Dangdangdang, the doll is beautiful, or is it A Xue?”
My cousin’s family is very frugal. Wu Ruixue is nine years old and has not bought a few toys. At this time, her eyes lit up when she saw the Barbie doll, she grabbed it and hugged it in her arms and said, “The doll is beautiful, and Axue is also very beautiful. ”
When Wu Chenggang saw Kang Jianfei buying toys for his daughter, he was pleased and rebuked at the same time: “A Fei, you just came to Hong Kong, how much money did you make? It’s not good to spend money lavishly. Save the money for your aunt and use it when you buy a house and marry a wife in the future. Let me tell you, you can have nothing in Hong Kong, but you can’t have no money. Without money, you can’t do anything. I think your cousin just came here. When in Hong Kong…”
Yes, Uncle Biao started to be a Tang monk again. Kang Jianfei went in with his left ear and went out of his right ear, just pretended he didn’t hear it.
Little Lolita Wu Ruixue gave her father a cute white eye and hugged the Barbie doll tightly, for fear that the doll would be taken away by her father.
“You mentioned what you did back then?” Zhou Mingfang came out with her little cousin, and after scolding her husband, she said to her daughter, “Xue, thank you cousin for giving you a gift.”
“Thank you, cousin!” Wu Ruixue smiled sweetly and stood on the bench, kissed Kang Jianfei on the face, and then ran back to the bedroom to hide the Barbie doll.
After Wu Chenggang was scolded by his wife, he was no longer a Tang monk. He pulled Kang Jian to the side and asked seriously, “A Fei, was your novel draft really accepted by Oriental Daily?”
Kang Jianfei nodded.
Wu Chenggang asked, “How is the fee for the manuscript calculated?”
Kang Jianfei didn’t want to explain too much to him, so he just said, “It’s 50 yuan per thousand words for the time being.”
Wu Chenggang calculated it, 50 yuan per thousand words, and a few thousand words serialized every day, at least 5,000 yuan a month for the manuscript fee, which is equivalent to his two months’ salary.
Wu Chenggang suddenly felt a sense of frustration. He worked in Hong Kong for 20 years and his monthly income was only half of Kang Jianfei’s.
“Oh, forget it, I’m not forcing you to become an actor. What do you want to do, you can do it yourself.” Wu Chenggang said sullenly.
……
……
In the next few days, Hu Juncai and his uncle went to work on the Qingshuiwan studio, while Kang Jianfei stayed at home to write the novel draft of “Looking for Qin Ji” and the script of “Shanghai Beach”.
The script of “Shanghai Bund” is going to be sold to Wang Tianlin. When “Looking for Qin Ji” becomes popular in the newspapers and Kang Jianfei becomes famous, he will take it out. This script can be sold for at least 50,000 yuan, which is much faster than writing a novel.
In fact, Kang Jianfei wanted to make “Shanghai Bund” by himself, but with his current fame and status, wanting to direct a movie by himself is completely a pipe dream.
Li Jiading didn’t mention the matter of accepting Kang Jianfei as his apprentice. Kang Jianfei didn’t even want to be a TVB contract actor, and naturally he would not follow him as a dragon and tiger martial artist. After the filming of “Chu Liuxiang”, the two never contacted again.
For Kang Jianfei, who has been an extra for nine years and a photographer for seven years, writing a script is much easier than writing a novel. The 25-episode script took only 4 days to complete, and an average of more than 6 episodes can be written every day.
After writing “Shanghai Bund”, Kang Jianfei did not rush to sell the script to Wang Tianlin, but waited for “Xun Qin Ji” to come out – the price of scripts written by well-known writers and ordinary writers is different.
Six days after Kang Jianfei personally came to submit the manuscript, “Xun Qin Ji” was finally serialized in the supplement of “Oriental Daily”.
This morning, Wu Chenggang took Hu Juncai out, and when he went downstairs, he picked up today’s “Ming Pao” in the newspaper box, which he took on the bus to read.
Riding a bicycle to the radio channel and transferring to a TV station bus, Wu Cheng just found a seat and opened the Ming Pao newspaper. After reading a few editions, he heard someone on the bus say, “Hey, the author of “Xun Qin Ji” is called Kang Jianfei, isn’t it the Kang Jianfei who served as a stand-in for Chu Liuxiang?”
“Most of them have the same name. “Xun Qin Ji” is so beautiful, how could it be written by that mainland boy?”
“I don’t think it’s the same. From the mainland, you can write novels by swimming across the sea. You think he is Ni Jiao. Kang Jianfei, a poor boy, has not read a book for a few days.”
“Aji, what are you talking about, “Looking for Qin Ji”?”
“”Oriental Daily”. Today’s new novel serialized in “Oriental Daily” is so sharp. It talks about a Hong Konger who travels through time and space back to the Warring States Period, or falls on the bed of a beautiful woman.
“The return of Hong Kong people to the Warring States period is science fiction?”
“No, it’s a martial arts novel.”
“Show me quickly.”
“Wait a minute, I haven’t finished it yet.”
“…”
Wu Chenggang closed his “Ming Pao”, knowing that his cousin’s novel had been published, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of joy.
After arriving on the set, Wu Cheng just gradually realized how popular “Looking for Qin” is, and the staff of the crew are actually talking about this novel in their spare time. Several copies of the “Oriental Daily” were passed to each other in the hands of the people, which was quite expensive in Luoyang.
You know, UU Reading www. Only the first chapter of uukanshu.com’s “Looking for Qin” was serialized in the newspaper!
The beginning of Kang Jianfei’s “Looking for Qin Ji” went straight to the point, without talking about a lot of time machines. At the beginning, Xiang Shaolong, an ordinary unhappy Hong Kong citizen, was robbed of his girlfriend and beaten by the thugs of his rival, the rich boy. After being driven to a dead end, he traveled through time and space.
For Hong Kong readers who are accustomed to traditional martial arts and science fiction, this kind of time-travel novel that they have never seen before is simply overwhelming. Unconsciously, they imagine the protagonist as themselves, and look forward to the next one like being scratched by a cat. Chapter plot development.
This time, Hu Juncai finally raised his eyebrows and said to Tang Zhenye, Huang Minyi, Chen Bingkun and others on the set wearing a dragon costume: “A Fei wrote “The Story of Qin Qin”. If you have eyes but don’t want to, we will go to the “Oriental Daily” right away. The editor-in-chief of other “Oriental Daily” has vision, and he has not read the manuscript, so he asks Ah Fei to publish the novel to them “Oriental Daily”…”
Chen Bingkun is the most clever. When he heard that “Looking for Qin” was really written by Kang Jianfei, he immediately flattered and said, “I just said that Brother Fei is not an ordinary person. Otherwise, he would not be a contract actor. It turns out that he wants to be a great writer!”
Tang Zhenye laughed a few times, then walked to the side in a daze. A mainland boy like Kang Jianfei has become a writer, but he can only play tricks on the set, and he doesn’t know when he will become famous.
Due to Chen Bingkun’s big mouth helping with the publicity, in less than a day, almost everyone on the set already knew that there was a boy from mainland China who published a novel called “Looking for Qin Ji” on “Oriental Daily”.
