Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 234 What is the significance of Da Nonao?
Liming Wei paused and did not continue to speak. He just lowered his head and thought for a long time.

Bu Wanchang's feet were awkwardly hooked on the floor, and sweat was dripping from his head. He did not expect that this young literary giant could put so much pressure on others.

In fact, many people who met Bao Guowei for the first time were deceived by his young and fair face.

In fact, the original owner Bao Guowei's facial features were still somewhat simple and honest. After Bao Guowei's rebirth, his facial features gradually became handsome and full of lines.

But the collagen on his face and his age that is visible to the naked eye, especially the slightly exaggerated hairstyle on his head, still make people think that he is just a young man who is easy to deceive.

But after having this idea, it was the beginning of their disadvantage.

"Bingwen." Hu Die said that he still had some friendship with Bao Guowei and wanted to intercede, but found that the latter ignored him.

He just stared at Liming Wei closely, as if he needed a statement from the other party.

Liming Wei waited for a long time before finally speaking again.

"Bingwen, I thought about it, and what you said makes sense. Since I want to make an international movie, I can't be careless about it. If I want to have this ambition, I must have This determination.”

Naturally, Bao Guowei will not really be a hands-off shopkeeper. This is a common problem among people who travel through time. They basically want to be an omniscient and omnipotent generalist, and he is naturally no exception.

But now we have to film "The Godfather", which requires foreign actors and foreign sets. The transportation level in this period is not like that of later generations, and the costs incurred are inestimable.

Liming Wei smiled bitterly and felt that he was indeed a little naive. It was not as simple as making movies in the past. The domestic film industry was a blue ocean. There were so many subjects that could be filmed and profits could be made as soon as they were put into production.

"The filming of the movie "The Godfather" not only requires a large number of foreign actors, but also foreign locations. The difficulty and funds required can be imagined. But after I read the novel "The Godfather", it is not only suitable for Adapted into a movie, it is also suitable for dissemination internationally and will be of great benefit to China’s reputation in the world.”

Bao Guowei shook his head and said: "Mr. Luo Mingyou is a business tycoon and also has patriotic feelings, but if he is asked to take such a big risk, it may be difficult to do it."

"Bingwen?"

At that time, the film market was not mature enough, so film companies had limited financial strength and were basically small-scale and low-cost.

"Yes, I can invest in the filming of this movie and bear part of the filming costs, but of course I also have to enjoy the subsequent income."

Liming Wei was still a little hesitant at first, but after Bao Guowei said this, he felt that it made sense.

Bu Wanchang rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said.

"Lao Li, I have a long-standing friendship with you, so naturally I can't let you bear everything by yourself, and I don't lack the money either."

He said through gritted teeth.

For example, last year's "Spring Dream in the Old City" directed by Sun Yu and starring Ruan Lingyu cost around 20,000 silver dollars. Due to the relatively rich market operations of Luo Mingyou's North China Film Company (jointly jointly with Lianhua Pictures with Liming Wei), With experience, you can still make some money.

Lianhua Pictures is already considered the leading film company in Shanghai, and the cost of shooting a movie is only 20,000 to 30,000 silver dollars.

There is no other way. If the time-traveling crowd doesn't show off, is it still called the time-traveling crowd?
He then revealed a mysterious smile and said.

"These are not busy, they are just small amounts of money. I looked back and invested."

"Based on this, I want to make this movie, but Bingwen may have to give us some time."

"This is natural. You have paid the cost and you will naturally enjoy the corresponding benefits. I have made the decision and can also sell part of the shares of Lianhua Pictures to you!"

Judging from Bao Guowei's current income, an ordinary tens of thousands of dollars is no longer something he can discern. The royalties sent from the United States are more than this amount.

Bao Guowei narrowed his eyes. He had already taken the initiative in today's meeting, and looked at several people with interest and said.

But Liming Wei was still unwilling to give in. He didn't want to hand over all such scripts to foreigners for filming.

Bao Guowei smiled.

"Mr. Li, even if this is the case, if you want to raise the next movie, you will need more funds, right?"

Especially the content that contains a lot of values. If foreigners were to shoot it, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to capture the original flavor.

Liming Wei's face immediately showed an expression of hope, and he looked at Bao Guowei in surprise.

Both Hu Die and Bu Wancang were surprised that Liming Wei, who was usually very cautious, would make such a determination in front of Bao Guowei, which shows the importance of this work in his eyes.

Bao Guowei raised his eyes and looked at the other party, with some surprise in his eyes, confirming the other party's attitude.

"Okay, okay, if sir is so determined, Guowei can safely hand over the adaptation rights of "The Godfather" to him."

Since it is the work of the Chinese people themselves, the filming of the first movie should be done by the Chinese people themselves!

"Well... I might have to ask Mr. Luo Mingyou about this. He might be able to provide some help." Liming Wei said still a little embarrassed.

Liming Wei was digging into his heart. Bao Guowei treated him sincerely, so he would naturally reciprocate accordingly.

"Everyone, since we are planning to make a movie, can you still afford the copyright fee for "The Godfather"?"

What Liming Wei said was very sincere, not like a businessman at all, but very pure.

This won't work, and that won't work either.

But to make an international blockbuster, that is a completely different concept. It is equivalent to asking elementary school students to solve high school problems. It is really too difficult.

"Mr. Bingwen, in that case, we can talk about the cost of adaptation."

Bao Guowei also saw the other party's difficulties and said with a smile.

There were also some works adapted into movies during the Republic of China, but the cost was not as exaggerated as in later generations. But considering the influence of "The Godfather", it is estimated that it will still cost a lot to adapt.

Now that he has money, Bao Guowei has become much tougher when speaking, and even pretends to be cool both inside and outside his words.

Liming Wei nodded and said.

Bu Wanchang also said excitedly: "With the help of Mr. Bingwen, the filming of this movie would have been twice the result with half the effort!"

The three people set their sights on Bao Guowei. You dislike this and that. Is there anything you can do?

Fortunately, Bao Guowei really has a way.

A smile appeared on his face.

"You may have forgotten that I have some friendship with Americans, especially American publishers. I am a close brother."

Hu Die's eyes immediately shone. She had heard that Bao Guowei was deeply loved by Americans. From publishers to ministers, everyone basically protected him.

Maybe it's because he can bring great benefits?
She immediately said: "Bingwen, can you persuade Americans to invest?"

Bao Guowei said with a slight smile.

"You know, Hollywood?"

Bao Guowei is a busy man. He just finished communicating about the movie in the morning and is going to meet two industrial tycoons of the Republic of China in the afternoon.

Two brothers, Rong Desheng and Rong Zongjing.

Both of them are in their fifties. From the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, they started from money banks and became rich step by step.

Then investing in textile mills and flour mills can be regarded as making a certain contribution to the industry of the Republic of China at that time.

With Rong Xiaorong's help, communication went very smoothly, but in such a big business, there would still be bumps in the road.

After the two brothers knew it was Bao Guowei, they naturally decided to meet him even though it was ridiculous to produce bellybands.

God knows, how many people in Shanghai want to know Bao Guowei now. Ordinary people want to find something that he can't find. Now that he has brought it to their door, there is no reason to ignore it.

Bao Guowei had a simple lunch and was about to leave for a visit to Rongfu.

Just as he was about to go out, he saw Cao Yanhai squatting at the door, holding a book in his hand, reading extremely fascinated.

Bao Guowei knew at a glance that this kid was reading some pornographic book.

He immediately stepped forward and snatched it away, laughing and cursing.

"You kid, what are you reading secretly? Did you secretly buy pornographic books again? I tell you, you kid, sex is an evil spirit. Be careful that your martial arts skills stop here."

Bao Guowei deliberately frightened him.

Cao Yanhai, who was usually very alert, was completely unaware of Bao Guowei's approach at this moment.

Cao Yanhai, who was suddenly "attacked", jumped up as soon as he hit the ground, with murderous intent on his face.

But when he looked up and saw Bao Guowei, he immediately became frightened and said while shrinking his head.

"Why is it you, master?"

When I heard the other party say that he read pornographic books, I immediately became unhappy.

He frowned and said loudly: "Master, you can't accuse someone of innocence out of thin air. When did I read a pornographic book? I was just studying the history of sex. How can this be called reading a pornographic book? The book said that this is the history of human life. Great harmony is the most important thing in the world, please don't stigmatize 'sex'!"

hey~
Bao Guowei looked at Cao Yanhai's black face speechlessly. Is this kid still reasonable in reading pornographic books?
This wasn't the first time I'd been caught reading a pornographic book, but he was talking about the great harmony of life?
Isn't this what you said before? When will I learn from him?

"It's obviously a pornographic book, but you still dare to quibble."

Bao Guowei just wanted to teach the other party a lesson, but stopped when he saw the page in his hand.

Because the words "History of Sexuality" are written on it.

The signed author's name is none other than Zhang Jingsheng, a philosopher in the Republic of China and one of the first batch of Ph.D.s studying abroad in the Republic of China. With this book, he caused huge waves in the academic circles of the Republic of China.

Countless people called him immoral and a slutty doctor. Even though he became a street rat that everyone yelled at, Zhang Jingsheng remained unmoved and continued to implement his sexology theory to the end.

Bao Guowei had heard of his name before in the Women's Federation, and learned about it later.

After "The History of Sexuality" was published, it was coveted by countless people, but it also suffered criticism from the literary and educational circles.

Calling him an "academic hooligan, a prostitution doctor, and a nymphomaniac", the teachers at the school scorned him.

Brother Xun said that his thinking was too advanced.

This made Bao Guowei a little interested. He opened a few pages and took a look. They mainly talked about the real sex experiences of anonymous people, plus Zhang Jingsheng's own comments.

Promote the unity of sex and love and improve the happiness of the sexual process.

Bao Guowei shook his head. I don't know how many people read this book as a pornographic book.

Just like the later book "Big Breasts and Wide Butts", I don't know how many readers regard it as a novel and erotic book.

Is it still interesting?
Bao Guowei thought that he might be able to meet Mr. Zhang Jingsheng if he had the opportunity.

Zhang Jingsheng will bear infamy and be scorned by everyone, but isn't he afraid of Bao Guowei?

When it comes to who is scolded the most in the Republic of China today, none other than Bao Guowei. What is Bao Guowei afraid of?
I was really angry, so I found Du Yuesheng and asked him to send a team of people to beat the opponent secretly. What could the other party do to me?
With this thought in mind, Bao Guowei took the book into his arms and said to Cao Yanhai with a smile.

"You can't read this kind of book yet. I'll study it carefully for you. I'll delete some things you can't read and return it to you later."

After hearing this, Cao Yanhai felt like a dead mother. He almost cried without crying on his face.

"Master, you can't do this! This book is hard to buy on the market now. If you take it away, I won't have it."

Bao Guowei paid no attention to him, kicked his butt and said.

"Go, go, don't think I don't know. You just read people's surname Ai stories. What can you understand? Hurry up and prepare the car. In the afternoon, we will go to the Concession Main Road (later Nanjing Road) for a visit. Come to the Rong family."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Master, please remember to return that book to me. I haven't learned the skill just now!"

"Go, go, go and drive!"

No. 18, Lane 20, Gao'an Road.

The buildings here today are still different from the former Rongfu residence of later generations. The former residence of Rong Desheng was renovated in 1939.

There is a camphor tree planted in front of the small foreign-style building. The overall architectural style covers the three column styles of ancient Greece, with Doric, Ionic and Corinthian styles intertwined together.

An auxiliary building was also added, which is hexagonal and has a unique light red round dome.

It can be said to be one of the most luxurious mansions at that time.

Only Rong Desheng met Bao Guowei in the afternoon, Rong Zongjing seemed not to be there, and Bao Guowei was happy to have one less person to deal with.

A few people didn't talk nonsense and placed samples of women's underwear in the yard, with Rong Xiaorong accompanying them.

"This new style of bellyband is a bit interesting."

Rong Desheng picked up the underwear on the table and looked at it. He seemed to be very researched.

He is in his fifties, wearing a melon-pipe hat, a mandarin jacket, and a mustache.

If this were to be placed in a costume drama, there would probably be a sinister and cunning rich man playing the role.

But in fact, Rong Desheng himself is quite kind.

He looked at Bao Guowei with a smile and said: "Mr. Bingwen really doesn't intend to let our Rong family run this completely? You can not go through these women's associations, just you and our Rong family jointly invest in it and establish a specialized women's products company. , I believe it will achieve great commercial success.”

As an elder who is nearly sixty years old, his words of "Mr. Bingwen" can be said to have given Bao Guowei enough respect.

Unexpectedly, instead of being surprised and disgusted, Rong Desheng was even very interested in this matter.

It seems that he still underestimated the capabilities of the elites of the Republic of China for such business tycoons.

Nowadays, the women's movement is so powerful that it is natural to see the business opportunities for women's underwear.

Bao Guowei thought this, but shook his head and said, "Shopkeeper Rong, I don't want to make money."

He glanced at Rong Desheng and found that the latter always had a kind smile on his face.

Then he continued.

"For me personally, making more money has no meaning. The only way is to hand over this business to these women, let them run it themselves, let women help women themselves, so that the women's liberation movement can bear fruit and form a virtuous circle. This That’s the best thing.”

Rong Desheng opened his squinted eyes and felt that in addition to his familiarity with the young man in front of him in newspapers and magazines, he had a new understanding.

"Seventeen years old."

He murmured this in a low voice, thinking that his youngest son was only seventeen years old this year.

At this time, I heard Rong Xiaorong's dissatisfied voice saying: "Uncle, how could you do this? This is the business of our Women's Federation, and you want to take it all for yourself. It's really too shameful!"

When Rong Desheng saw his little niece getting angry, he thought that she was usually timid, but he didn't expect that she would be like this today, and he immediately laughed heartily.

"Hahahaha, Xiaorong! You misunderstood uncle! I was just a suggestion. Since Mr. Bingwen said so, I, Rong Desheng, am obliged!"

He said firmly: "Our companies have received great support from the people. Naturally, there is no reason to refuse this matter. Besides,"

He didn't say the next sentence.

For Rong, this is also an opportunity to open up a new market, benefit women's groups in society, and gain great reputation.

Bao Guowei understood this and said with a smile: "Since Shopkeeper Rong said so, can I tell the truth? I have many requirements for the production. The price is because of the huge demand, and I also strive to be cheap."

A good one wants both.

Rong Desheng was almost told by Bao Guowei that he was stupid. He had never seen anyone doing business like this.

But this business was too special. On the one hand, it was the first request from his niece Rong Xiaorong, and on the other hand, it was the giant Buddha Bao Guowei. He really had no reason to refuse.

After taking the order from Bao Guowei and looking at the requirements above, Rong Desheng showed a surprised expression on his face.

"Mr. Bingwen, have you run a textile business before?"

The above detailed rules and methods are not only known to professionals in the textile industry, but even some Rong Desheng himself cannot understand them. He has never seen them before. It seems to be an innovative form?
Bao Guowei smiled slightly and said very relaxedly.

"It's just a little research."

After sending Bao Guowei out of Rong Mansion, Rong Xiaorong was still thinking about the factory.

"The underwear factory can use ready-made production lines and expand in Pudong in the future. Our Women's Federation invested 4, accounting for 2% of the shares. Mr. Bingwen is responsible for technology and guidance, investing 2, accounting for % of the shares. Twenty-five, Rong's side is responsible for the procurement and production of raw materials, with an investment of , accounting for % of the shares."

"You need to watch your uncle closely in the future to prevent them from cutting corners."

Hearing the young girl muttering these things, Bao Guowei felt a little funny, patted the other party on the shoulder and said.

"Xiao Rong, don't be too anxious. Just handle this matter in a down-to-earth manner. If you have any questions, ask Nianyue first. If you have technical questions, ask me. If you have business questions, you can ask your uncle Rong Desheng. He is a good man. "

After hearing Bao Guowei's encouragement, Rong Xiaorong nodded vigorously like a little girl even though she was one year older than Bao Guowei.

"Don't worry, Mr. Bingwen, I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations and carry forward our liberation movement!"

Giving the other party an encouraging smile, Bao Guowei got in the car and prepared to go home and rest.

I've been really busy lately and I'm exhausted physically and mentally. I'll go back and bully my little wife, and then have a good night's sleep. I'll have to sleep for three nights tomorrow!
But the car hadn't started yet, but Rong Xiaorong was seen patting the window.

I rolled down the window and heard her say.

"Mr. Bingwen, I forgot to tell you that the Chinese and Western Girls' School will have time tomorrow. The principal specially made time and said that he hopes you can come and give a speech to everyone."

Bao Guowei sighed.

Come on, there's no time to rest anymore.

He nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely go there tomorrow."

This is something that has been promised a long time ago, and I really can't refuse.

The young literary giant's fishing plan failed again.

On the second day, in the auditorium of the Chinese and Western Girls' School.

Bao Guowei was on the podium, looking around at the dark group of girls below. The air was filled with the smell of powder.

Next to her was Xue Zheng, the then principal of Zhongxi Girls’ Middle School. She had light and simple makeup and looked expectantly at Bao Guowei on the stage. This young scholar had too many absurdities and too many surprises, but in general, his speech was OK

I hope it can bring some different experiences to the students.

Bao Guowei looked at Zhang Nianyue in the corner again, with bright eyes, and gave Bao Guowei a thumbs up.

When the girls calmed down, Bao Guowei cleared his throat and decided to take the lead.

"Dear students, I want to ask you a question today."

"What's the point of being a grandma?"
