004 [Ding Ye]
After Wu Ruiqing pushed his mother Liang Ying out of the door, he immediately locked the door and carefully checked his diary. He had been in love with a girl in his class for a long time, but he had never dared to confess his love, so he could only write a love letter in his diary.
In this diary, there are eight love letters written by Wu Ruiqing to the girl, but he didn't dare to send a single one.
"That cousin from the mainland is so hateful!" Wu Ruiqing flipped through his diary, feeling that his fragile middle-aged boy's heart had been greatly hurt, and began to wipe his tears with great grievance.
Wu Ruiqing flipped through the diary and suddenly found that there were texts on the last dozen pages of the diary, and curiously turned to the last page and looked at it.
Kang Jianfei's handwriting is ugly, so ugly that he is so shameless that he is not aware of others.
Kang Jianfei's writing style is very bad, and what he writes can only be considered smooth sentences.
But it was this ugly handwriting and a very poor writing style, and there were many novels written in simplified Chinese, which made Wu Ruiqing unable to move his eyes when he first read it.
Wu Ruiqing is fifteen years old this year. He is indifferent and timid, and he can't read well, and he is almost useless. However, because he has loved reading martial arts novels since he was a child, he writes very well and has a strong appreciation for martial arts novels.
Wu Ruiqing thought he had read all kinds of martial arts novels, such as revenge, adventure, and battle for the world, but he had never seen such a novel plot.
He was obviously a modern person, but after being beaten up, he traveled through time and space to the Warring States Period, and happened to fall on the bed of a beautiful woman.
The protagonist Xiang Shaolong is just an ordinary grassroots civilian. He has become extremely powerful because of traveling through time and space, and has won the hearts of beautiful women and the admiration of heroes. It is so desirable. As he watched, Wu Ruiqing couldn't help but substitute himself into Xiang Shaolong, imagining the cowardly self in the Warring States Period. Heroes from all walks of life obeyed their orders, and countless beauties threw themselves into their arms...
Wu Ruiqing became more and more impressed. He even ignored many simplified Chinese characters between the lines. Until he turned the page and found that it was blank, he said with a loss: "Oh, it's a pity why there is nothing behind..."
It was as if he was scratched by a cat's claw. Wu Ruiqing was eager to know what the plot was next. He completely forgot about the unhappiness between him and Kang Jianfei before, and couldn't wait to run to the living room and asked Kang Jianfei: "Cousin, where is this novel sold?"
In more than half a month, this is the first time Wu Ruiqing has taken the initiative to call her cousin. Hu Juncai, who was unaware of it, thought that this kid had taken the wrong medicine.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Where do you think I've just written something to sell?"
"Is this a novel you created by yourself?" Wu Ruiqing asked in surprise. He thought Kang Jianfei copied the novel after reading it - well, this idea is actually very close to the truth.
Kang Jianfei asked back, "Isn't it okay?"
"Okay, of course, it can do it," Wu Ruiqing looked at Kang Jianfei with eyes and begged, "Cousin, how is Xiang Shaolong behind him? Tell me quickly."
Kang Jianfei pretended to be thinking and said, "Hey, it seems that someone called me a foolish man from mainland China just now..."
Wu Ruiqing begged for mercy without any stance and said, "Cousin, I was wrong. You don't remember the villain's mistakes, so let's talk to me about the subsequent plot."
Wu Ruiqing's condition was really abnormal, which not only made Hu Juncai confused, but even the little loli Wu Ruixue who was watching the cartoon looked at her brother curiously.

Under Wu Ruiqing's attention, Kang Jianfei wrote more than 3,000 words of "The Legend of Qin", and then received a call from his cousin from outside, asking him to call a taxi immediately to a tea restaurant on the radio channel, saying that he had some clues about finding a job for him.
Kang Jianfei rushed to the tea restaurant slowly. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his cousin Wu Chenggang waving to him. The man who sat at the same table with Wu Chenggang was a bald man in his forties.
"A Fei, call me Master Ding," Wu Chenggang immediately began to introduce himself after waiting for Kang Jian to fly over, and said to the bald man, "A Ding, this is my cousin Kang Jianfei who just came from the mainland."
Kang Jianfei didn't figure out who this "Ding Master" was, but he seemed to be a relatively good figure. He honestly greeted him: "Hello Master Ding!"
Master Ding reached out to press Kang Jianfei's strong chest, nodded and praised: "No, my body is strong enough, I'll do it well in the future, and I'll have a life of you to stand out!"
Wu Chenggang also encouraged: "Mr. Ding also came from the mainland and was doing more than a hundred times better than me. You have to follow Mr. Ding to do things well in the future. Maybe one day my cousin will rely on your care."
Kang Jianfei sat there in confusion. He still didn't remember who the "Master Ding" was in front of him, but he just felt familiar.
Master Ding ate the egg tart without any image and asked, "Have you practiced Kung Fu?"
Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "I have practiced Crane Fist for a while."
"A Fei, have you practiced martial arts? Why don't I know?" Cousin Wu Chenggang said in surprise.
Kang Jianfei said: "A few years ago, an old man was sent to the village. The old man was a university professor and knew a lot of things. I quietly learned Kung Fu from him, and he also taught me to read many books. However, because he was afraid of being criticized, he didn't allow me to tell others."
Kang Jianfei's crane fist was actually learned from his pickpocket master before traveling through time. Now he said it, mainly because he is afraid that he will show too much ability in the future, so he can find an excuse to come out as soon as possible to dispel others' suspicion.
"Oh." Wu Chenggang believed Kang Jianfei's words without doubt, and never thought that Kang Jianfei would lie to him.
"Crane Fist?" asked Master Ding, "Zong He, singing crane, eating crane, or flying crane?"
Kang Jianfei said: "I practice Feihe Fist."
Mr. Ding nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's not bad, the Hehe Fist is the most lethal, but when it comes to beautiful moves, it must be Feihe Fist, which is very suitable for making movies." As he said, Mr. Ding said to Wu Chenggang, "You can bring him to the set tomorrow, I'll leave in advance."
Wu Chenggang quickly stood up and saw him off.
When his cousin came back after sending Mr. Ding back, Kang Jianfei asked, "Cousin, who is this Mr. Ding?"
"This Ding Master is named Li Jiading. He was originally a rich son from Guangzhou. At the age of eight, he encountered land sports, and his family's property was confiscated, and he fled to Hong Kong with his family. He dropped out of school to work since he was a child. He started to learn martial arts at the age of eighteen, and became a dragon and tiger martial arts master at the age of twenty. He started to learn equestrian again in his twenties. In international competitions such as "IBG International Business Equestrian Competition" and "FEI International Horse Union Equestrian Obstacle Competition", he was so embarrassed to win the championship trophy." Wu Chenggang said, "Now, many of the movies and TV series of Shaw Brothers and Wireless TV are served as martial arts directors and equestrians. Even big stars like Wang Mingquan have to call him "Ding" obediently when they see him. You should be diligent in your work in the future. If you can be accepted as an apprentice by him, you will not be far away."
Kang Jianfei suddenly realized that it was this "Master Ding"!
Li Jiading has also played many supporting roles in his life, but the reason why Kang Jianfei can remember him is because he is the equestrian coach of many Hong Kong celebrities and wealthy people. For example, Chen Huilin's equestrian was taught by Li Jiading himself.
At the same time, Kang Jianfei also understood that his cousin had been spending time contacting Li Jiading for the past half month. If he only helped Kang Jianfei find a job as an extra, Wu Chenggang would just say a few good things to the producer and do it. He would have asked Li Jiading to come out for tea and meet for so long, but in fact he wanted Li Jiading to take Kang Jianfei as his apprentice.
Unfortunately, Kang Jianfei was not here, so he didn't want to be a Dragon and Tiger Martial Artist who was tired and could not make much money.

When he got home, he happened to have dinner. Kang Jian flew to the dining table and found that Hu Juncai was gone. He asked, "Where is Acai?"
Cousin's aunt Zhou Mingfang said: "Acai's cousin took him away just now."
Wu Chenggang complained: "This Acai's cousin is really true. Acai has lived at home for so many days and left without waiting for us to come back and say hello."
Zhou Mingfang explained: "It's too late for people to travel to Lantau Island."
When Wu Chenggang heard this, he didn't say anything more. The Qingyu trunk line connecting Lantau Island and Kowloon would be opened for more than ten years. At this time, you have to take a boat honestly to go to Lantau Island.
Wu Ruiqing finished the meal in a few bites, sat on the sofa and watched "Chu Liuxiang" on the wireless station. However, his eyes looked at Kang Jianfei from time to time. After Kang Jianfei finished the meal, he immediately took his notebook and said, "Cousin, please write something tonight."
"Go and wait until my cousin finishes watching TV." Kang Jianfei slapped the back of his cousin's head and stared at Su Rongrong played by Zhao Yazhi on TV.
Wu Chenggang happened to hear the conversation between the two and asked curiously: "What are you talking about writing?"
Wu Ruiqing showed off for her cousin: "Dad, you see, this is a novel written by my cousin, which is better than Jin Yong's novel."
Wu Chenggang took the notebook in confusion and opened it. As soon as he saw Kang Jianfei's extremely ugly words, there were various simplified Chinese in the middle. He suddenly lost the desire to take a second glance and threw it aside.
Kang Jianfei asked: "Cousin, how do you calculate the royalties for Hong Kong newspapers now?"
Wu Chenggang asked disdainfully: "Why, do you want to sell your novel for money? Do you think you are Ni Fu!"
Kang Jianfei didn't explain much, and smiled and said, "I'll just ask."
Wu Chenggang thought for a while and said, "That depends on what type of article it is. Generally speaking, the manuscript fee for column manuscripts is much higher, about 700 yuan for a thousand words. And if you are published in Ming Pao, you can get up to 60 yuan for a thousand words; if you are serialized in Oriental Daily, you should be able to calculate 90 yuan for a thousand words."
Kang Jianfei said in surprise: "Why is the royalties for Ming Pao still lower?"
Wu Cheng just laughed: "Jin Yong's stinginess is comparable to Boss Shao. He even paid the salary of the old staff who worked with him for "Ming Pao", let alone the author's manuscript fee. Mr. Cha's stinginess still has an interesting story. Lin Yanni asked for the manuscript fee at the beginning, but Jin Yong said: 'You love spending money so much, and you spend it again and again, don't add it. Yishu also called Jin Yong to add the manuscript fee. He said: 'You don't spend money, what's the use of adding the manuscript fee?'"
Kang Jianfei asked: "Who is the one with the highest royalties in Hong Kong now?"
Wu Chenggang said: "Of course the highest manuscript fee is Jin Yong, no one can afford him. In addition, it's all Ni Fu. At the beginning of this year, Huang Yulang asked Ni Kuang to write a novel and offered a price of 500 yuan for a thousand words, which caused a sensation in Hong Kong."
Kang Jianfei has a rough understanding of the manuscript fees in Hong Kong. Although the manuscript fees given by Ming Pao are the lowest, he still wants to submit the manuscript to Ming Pao. Because Kang Jianfei is thinking of becoming famous, not those manuscript fees. With Jin Yong's status in the film and television circle, if "The Legend of Qin" is published in Ming Pao, it will definitely attract the attention of more bigwigs in the film and television circles.
When "The Legend of Qin" becomes famous, if Kang Jianfei wants to make a movie by himself, he should invest more well!
Kang Jianfei didn't think that he could make money by relying solely on novels. Even if he finished writing more than 1.5 million words of "The Legend of Qin" and calculated based on the manuscript fee of 100,000, Hong Kong dollars. 150,000 Hong Kong dollars is not enough to make a super-small movie in Hong Kong. Moreover, these manuscript fees did not come at once. It would take at least one year for "The Legend of Qin" to be serialized.
If Kang Jianfei wants to accumulate capital by writing novels, he has to serialize at least four books at the same time, and wait for the previous year to earn 600,000 yuan. He didn't have the patience to spend a year writing novels to earn 600,000 yuan, and then use this 600,000 yuan to make a movie with a small cost. The fastest way is to become famous first, then use this name to write a good script, and then find rich people to invest in making movies.
