Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 72: Go up and sit (Read quickly! First update, please collect, read, and vote)

The script that Liu Jiale showed to others only had a rough plot and he couldn't show them anything specific.

In fact, a mere screenwriter is not worth much in Hong Kong Island, and others who are willing to pay such a high price have their own plans.

Take Golden Harvest for example. The reason they are willing to pay a high price is that they can use the popularity of Northern Film Director Sanshu to guarantee some box office revenue in Hong Kong Island and overseas Chinese.

As for Wong Pak Ming and Shaw Brothers, that was competition, plus the fame of Northern School's Uncle San.

Of course, these film companies are not stupid. Since they want to take advantage of the popularity of Beipai Sanshu, they will definitely take advantage of it.

"Where is the magazine's gunman?" Li Song asked.

"There is no suitable one yet. They don't know anything about Feng Shui, and even less about Western things. Otherwise, boss..." Liu Jiale said.

"People are more interested in watching mysterious and traditional things. Every time Rediffusion Television broadcasts a feng shui-related drama, the phone line is flooded with calls."

"So I have to trouble the boss again..."

"Okay!" Li Song agreed immediately.

"Brother Le, you should also pay attention to cultivating talents."

"You can't always rely on me alone!"

"Now I work for you." Li Song said.

"Yes, yes, but talented people are hard to come by, and most ghostwriters don't understand Feng Shui at all. I can only say that you, boss, know too much." Liu Jiale also guessed that there was more than one person behind Li Song, but he didn't care.

"Which one do you think should be written first?" Li Song asked.

"How about I go and talk to them, and the boss will give the writing to whoever offers the highest price first?" Liu Jiale asked.

"Okay!" Li Song nodded.

Liu Jiale left quickly, and Li Song simply offered a reward for two copies of The Grave Robbers' Chronicles on a second-hand platform. The first one was "Temple Escape", which had the main storyline outline. Li Song asked the other party to incorporate the myths and legends of the third brother into the plot, and to incorporate Western crystal balls, tarot cards, witchcraft, etc. when the three protagonists cracked the temple.

Li Song also said that he could imitate the plots of other novels and movies, and he was just collecting them, and it did not involve copyright.

This was figured out after Li Song offered a reward last time. Because it involves copyright, the price may be a bit higher.

In the end, the price suggested by the second-hand platform was still the same, and Li Song had no choice but to pay $400,000.

But it is still cost-effective. 400,000 US dollars can only buy 80 ounces of gold on the platform, and if the work is converted into 2 million Hong Kong dollars, more than 1400 ounces of gold can be purchased.

In other words, the value has increased nearly 20 times, but this is just the film copyright, there are also novel serialization, single volume publishing, etc.

Anyway, cash can be converted very quickly now and some people are in a hurry to get it, unlike before when cash was converted slowly and it was not cost-effective to hire a ghostwriter.

In addition, Li Song also asked to incorporate some mythology and feng shui into the old version of Tomb Robbers' Chronicles as much as possible, and promised not to spread it, because spreading some things would lead to accountability and robbery.

The price is also 400,000.

After Li Song finished all this, he felt his stomach growling with hunger, so he went out to eat.

"Alas, people feel lazy after they have money. I will go back and continue working hard tomorrow!" Li Song muttered to himself.

Li Song went out and found that it was already dark. The night view of Hong Kong Island was very beautiful, especially after staying in the mainland for a week.

Li Song was not in the mood to see the night view. He planned to find something to eat first, and then buy some clothes for the occasion. After all, he would be traveling to the mainland frequently in the future.

"Brother Song?" Li Song was walking on the street, thinking about what to eat, when he heard someone calling from behind.

"Alin?" Li Song turned around and saw that it was Alin and two other girls. It seemed that three girls were shopping together.

Alin was a little confused as to why Li Song came here at night. She came here because she was afraid of meeting Li Song in Yau Ma Tei.

Of course, what Alin was curious about was that Yu Dancong came to her and asked her boyfriend to let them go. They were now hanging out in Saigon. If her boyfriend chased them again, they would fight to the death.

Arlene wondered who her boyfriend was.
I wanted to ask more, but I didn't know how. After thinking about it carefully, I realized that Yudancong might be talking about Li Song.

"Have you eaten? If not, let's eat together." Li Song felt angry when he saw the young and beautiful Alin.

"That's not good!" Arlin had just seen Li Song's back and thought it was Li Song, so she shouted. When Li Song turned around, she regretted it. "Arlin, who is this!"

"Yes, such a handsome guy, introduce him to me!"

"That's it." Li Song is 1.83 meters tall, with a manly square face.

"My name is Asong, I'm Alin's friend. Nice to meet you." Li Song greeted them. Alin's two companions were not good-looking. I wonder if beautiful women like to find ugly people as partners.

"My name is Aning!"

"My name is A-Di!"

"Nice to meet you." The two also greeted.

"What are you treating us to, handsome?" A-Di asked.

"How about just having steak?" Li Song pointed to the western restaurant next door.

"Yeah!"

"What does a pretty boy do?"

"I'm driving for someone!"

"The driver is pretty good too."

"That's right, when is the handsome guy going to take us for a ride?"

Arlene was surrounded and led into the western restaurant. Li Song then realized that the three had invited him out to play during the holidays, but as students, they didn't have much money, so they just wandered around.

"Wow, thank you, Song!" When Alin heard her two companions thanking Li Song, she felt powerless, but her two companions rarely came to these high-end Western restaurants.

While eating steak, Li Song thought of Wagyu beef, so he quickly collected some Wagyu beef seeds on a second-hand platform and would buy them later when he had the energy.

While eating, Alin would chat from time to time, and Li Song realized that Alin had not found a part-time job yet. Li Song knew that Alin was not good at studying and it would not be easy for her to find a part-time job.

Arlene's other two companions work part-time in a tea restaurant, working one day every Sunday and earning only a few dozen Hong Kong dollars a day.

After dinner, Arlene's two companions left Arlene, saying they wanted to have some time alone.

"Alin, why don't you come and teach me foreign languages?" Li Song asked as he and Alin were walking on the street.

"No, you're going to graduate this year, and besides, your foreign language skills are pretty good." Arlene shook her head.

"Alin, why don't you come up and sit for a while?" Li Song reached out and held Alin's hand, and spoke, actually referring to going to his own home.

But Arlene looked up at the hotel on the other side, rolled her eyes at Li Song in annoyance, but did not refuse.

Li Song looked at the hotel that Arlene was looking at, and took Arlene's hand and went straight to the hotel.

Dry wood and raging fire!

A long separation is better than a new marriage!
Li Song was almost firing on all cylinders, thinking that it would be a waste if he didn't use it.

Alin was crushed by Li Song's strength, crushed, and crushed again, and felt that she was no longer herself.

Fortunately, the steak he had eaten allowed Li Song to fight for several rounds.

Then the two of them slept in each other's arms until the next morning.

"Brother Song, I want to go back!" The two got up at around nine o'clock the next morning. Before getting up, Li Song asked again.

"Let's go for a walk first. It's Sunday anyway." Li Song said.

"I need to buy a few sets of clothes for work. Can you give me some suggestions?" Li Song said again.

"Okay, but I want to go back at night." Alin was tormented a lot by Li Song, although she also enjoyed it.
