Chapter 452

~11 min read 2,158 words

Although the novel this time doesn't need to be translated, the editor still needs to modify the manuscript, and the choice of the picture book artist is also very important; it is estimated that it will be impossible to see Wei Ming's second English new work within this year.

Melinda sighed; can't you just write a pure novel, looking for trouble for yourself, but this story is really amazing!

She thought of the first time she took Wei Ming to visit the British Museum; it seems that this guy had this idea at that time.

In addition to replying to the letter and asking Wei Hong to mail the new work to Melinda, Wei Ming also mailed some photos he took at the filming site back to Xiao Hong.

There are personal photos or group photos, as well as beautiful natural scenery in Ya'an, and a precious picture of a wild giant panda mother bringing her baby that was captured once.

Wei Ming is very willing to record these things, and the crew has two cameras, so when he is filming, he will also ask Chen Kaige to film behind-the-scenes footage for the "Spring of the Sheep Class" crew at work.

Even the film used for filming behind-the-scenes footage is imported movie film, which is also intentionally training Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige and the others; maybe they can make a documentary in the future.

Spending your own money however you want, and being able to spend it, this feeling is too good; Wei Ming loves the co-production mode to death.

However, Li Zhi mailed imported film from Hong Kong to him, and it was all Hong Kong dollars; Wei Ming still hopes to walk around Cannes next year, sell the overseas copyright for a good price, and then invest the money into the Hong Kong stock market and property market to copy the bottom.

Wei Hong saw these photos mailed by her brother, thinking what is the significance of giving these photos to herself; shouldn't you mail them to A-Min.

So she chose a few and mailed them to A-Min in Hong Kong, which was already November when they arrived in Hong Kong.

On the weekend, Zhou Huimin finally had time to have a meal with her new friend Anita Mui.

She now likes to socialize with friends who are older than her, because she hopes to keep up with A-Ming's thinking and won't appear too childish.

Although there were only two people, in order to prevent being recognized by fans, they still wanted a private room.

Of course, it was mainly Zhou Huimin who had trouble in this regard; Anita Mui was okay; the heat of the champion was not as good as the withdrawn contestant.

Last month, both of their albums were released almost at the same time; Zhou Huimin's was her first complete album, not only containing all the old songs created by Wei Ming except "My Favorite," but also "Like You" jointly created by the two saints of Hui and Huang among the new songs, which also had high heat and was not inferior to "My Favorite."

Now it has been released for almost a month, and the sales have reached 180,000 copies, heading straight for the four platinum, and this is only the sales in Hong Kong; because there are also Mandarin songs in the album, this album also has good results in Taiwan, and the sales might be even higher than in Hong Kong.

This result has actually surpassed the personal best results of Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung, heading straight for Deng Lijun and Jenny Tseng.

The mentality of Zhou Huimin's fans is that they almost can't see A-Min on television and other activities on weekdays, so they can only express their love by buying albums, and the album cover is her beautiful photo.

A-Min still listens to her mother, and her exposure rate is very low, unlike Anita Mui, a full-time singer; being able to have a meal with A-Min today can be considered busy and free.

To be honest, it is impossible for Anita Mui not to be envious of the results achieved by A-Min; it is also the joint effort of Hui and Huang; they wrote a song "Heart Debt" for her, which is also the theme song of the hit TV series "The Fragrant City Prodigal Son," but this mini-album with only six songs has sales that don't even reach a gold record (25,000).

The gap is really too big.

Of course, if a song like "Like You" was given to her to sing, she definitely wouldn't sing it as well as A-Min; Anita Mui felt that she still needed to find her own style and positioning.

"Wow, this tastes good!" When Anita Mui took the drink brought by A-Min and tasted a sip, she praised it endlessly.

A-Min smiled: "This is the QQ Neinei tea that my mother just developed and it tastes so good."

Anita Mui had a head full of question marks; what kind of thing did she just hear.

A-Min laughed: "Actually, the name was taken by A-Ming; you don't have to care."

Anita Mui was envious of the relationship between A-Min and her boyfriend, unlike herself; after becoming famous, the relationship with her boyfriend became more and more distant, and they almost didn't contact each other.

"Is this available at Holiland?" Anita Mui asked.

"It's not available yet, but drink less; the sugar content is high, and it's easy to get fat." A-Min took a sip and reminded.

She also only drinks one cup occasionally; she has put in a lot of hard work to become her current body shape, and she doesn't want to change back to Fatty An.

She enjoys the feeling of A-Ming touching her slender jade legs.

Drinking milk tea and eating, the two talked about the next work plan.

"Are you planning to release an album next?" Anita Mui asked with a smile, "Next time I will stagger with you, otherwise it will appear too miserable."

Zhou Huimin: "Probably not; my next most important work is to get a grade in the final exam that satisfies my mother, otherwise don't even think about any programs."

She still hopes that she can participate in the Top Ten Chinese Gold Songs and Top Ten Jade Solid Gold awards; if she can get honors, that is the honor of both herself and A-Ming.

Anita Mui's eyes were full of envy; what a good mother; her mother only asks how much money she has earned now and whether she has taken it all home to subsidize the family.

"Actually, I am also learning now; the company asked me to learn some Japanese, but that thing is too difficult to learn."

"Japanese? I know a little," A-Min said seriously; she has listened to many Japanese songs, "Is Capital Artists wanting you to develop in Japan?"

"Maybe there is this idea; after all, the market there is too big; who doesn't want to become Deng Lijun." Anita Mui said; the European and American market is something she doesn't even dare to think about now; after all, there is no successful precedent, but Deng Lijun has already paved a way in Japan.

However, Deng Lijun's dazzling results in Japan at this time seemed insignificant compared to a few years later.

Anita Mui added: "And the company is already preparing my new album; this time it seems they plan to cover mature Japanese songs."

Hong Kong's music scene has many talented lyricists, but composers clearly can't keep up, whether in quantity or quality.

At this time, importing from the prosperous Japanese music scene has become a lazy but helpless practice.

Michael Lai thought, Japan's decades of music accumulation should be able to defeat A-Ming behind A-Min, right.

And this time Capital Artists has set its sights on the classic work "Red Suspicion" by the retired Momoe Yamaguchi, which is also the theme song of "Blood Suspicion."

More than half of this new album of Anita Mui's might be old Japanese songs.

After returning home, Zhou Huimin received a package from Wei Hong and saw her letter.

Sister Hong said in the letter: "Your new album has been sent over, and my brother has also heard it; in addition, here are a few of his photos; if you have anything you want to give him, just hand it to me."

Zhou Huimin looked at Wei Ming's photos one by one; a man working seriously is really handsome; some of these photos were actually taken by Feng Xiaogang, and the shooting angle was quite flattering, with many low-angle perspectives.

A-Min thought for a while, let's mail the new issue of "Madman Comics" over, accompanied by a few of her beautiful photos, and a romance novel that is very popular recently, "My First Half of Life," written by Yi Shu.

Some time ago, Yi Shu spoke highly of "The Most Distant Distance in the World," so A-Min bought her new book.

Finally, it was a Rolex watch, because their birthdays were coming soon.

The issue of "Madman Comics" mailed by A-Min was of extraordinary significance, because this was the first weekly comic.

Starting from Monday, November 1st, "Madman Comics" was officially reorganized into a weekly comic, listed every Monday, and the price was lowered by one yuan during the event.

The event lasted until the Spring Festival!

That is to say, you can see five issues of "Madman Comics" this month, and there are only two issues on weekdays!

This news almost dropped a heavy bomb in the Hong Kong comic scene.

Not only did it have a great impact among readers, but the impact on peers was also huge.

Actually, Wong Yuk-long had guessed before that weekly comics were the route Liu Rulong was going to take next, so he wanted to walk in front of Liu Rulong, letting "Yuk-long Comics" take the lead; for this, he didn't even hesitate to spend a lot of money to introduce Japanese comic works to enrich his own strength.

It could be considered introducing Japanese comics to Hong Kong a few years earlier than the original time and space.

But Wong Yuk-long still lost a move, because Liu Rulong had been confusing Wong Yuk-long; he seemed to have been preparing for the Spring Festival reorganization.

So Wong Yuk-long thought about reorganizing his magazine on New Year's Day, and launched a heavy masterpiece "Chinese Hero" in the reorganized magazine.

As a result, others were even earlier, reorganizing in November.

This time "Madman Comics" was reorganized, lowering the price without lowering the quantity, the number of pages remained unchanged, and three new comics were added, and one comic was finished.

The one finished was "Fight Back to School"; it wasn't that the results were poor, it was just that the overdraft of the comedy comic on the lead author Gan Xiaowen was too serious; he could persist in updating every half month before, but the weekly update was really unbearable, so he decided to finish it temporarily and wait until some manuscripts were saved before going online again in the form of the second part.

And the three newly added comics had quite a background.

First is the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" authorized by Jin Yong and drawn by Lee Chi-ching, which just happened to be filmed by TVB at this time, and both sides also carried out joint publicity.

Then it is the science fiction masterpiece "District 9" that Wei Ming exploded globally, with newcomer comic artist Shao William as the lead author.

Finally, it is "Dragon Ball," the two founders of "Madman Comics," editor-in-chief Wei Ming and lead author Liu Rulong.

With the number of pages unchanged, three new comics were added, but only one was reduced, so the number of pages of each serialized comic had to be reduced, which inevitably caused some dissatisfaction among readers, feeling that they hadn't seen much before it was gone.

Not addicted.

"So addicted! So sharp!" Super comic fan, "Madman Comics" die-hard fan Ekin Cheng had just finished reading the serialized content of "Wind and Cloud."

Serialized for a year, with the gradual formation of Ma Wing-shing's personal style, the maturity of drawing skills, and the increasingly fierce struggle between the two people of Wind and Cloud and Xiongba, "Wind and Cloud" this comic's watchability was getting stronger and stronger; this could be considered Ekin Cheng's favorite comic, and "The Legend of Qin" could only rank second.

Immediately after, he went to see "The Legend of Qin"; the protagonist on the cover of this issue was Dragon Ball, so he already knew that it was Liu Rulong's new work, so he inevitably worried that Liu Rulong would be distracted and "The Legend of Qin" would have a bad ending.

Opening "The Legend of Qin," he first glanced at the lead author "Liu Rulong & Long Aotian," oh my, double lead authors!
