After making a solemn statement, he left Tao Yushu's office.

The first time he left the office, Qi Wenjie took out a long, deep breath. The feeling of being tortured by his boss was really uncomfortable.

Qi Wenjie was Huang Yulang's neighbor when he was a child. Later, under the influence of Huang Yulang, he embarked on the path of comics.

He also became Huang Yulang’s founding disciple.

He was responsible for three or four drafts and covers of works such as "Dragon Tiger Gate" and "Drunken Master". Later, he began to be responsible for the comic publications of Yulang Agency. He is considered one of the core members of the content department of Yulang Agency.

In May of this year, Huang Yulang, who had been kicked out of the Yulang organization, returned to the world and founded the Jade Dynasty. His first comic book "Yiyongmen" was very popular, and the single volume achieved sales of 120,000 copies as soon as it was launched.

Later, Huang Yulang obtained the authorization from Jin Yong to adapt Jin Yong's classic martial arts novel "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" into a comic book.

In just six months, Jade Dynasty released two comics in succession, both of which were extremely popular.

Such changes caught Yulang Organization off guard, and the sales of many of its comic strips and comic publications were affected to varying degrees.

Under such circumstances, Qi Wenjie, as one of the heads of the content department of Yulang Agency, naturally had to endure torture from his boss.

In fact, he had to endure not only torture, but also suspicion.

Because he and Huang Yulang have a master-disciple relationship, Huang Yulang even recruited him this year when he founded the Jade Dynasty.

But at that time, Qi Wenjie had already received Tao Yushu's promise that he would get the company's 600,000 stock options in July, so Huang Yulang's recruitment was unsuccessful.

The Yulang Organization, which has formed a substantial monopoly in the Hong Kong comics industry, cannot effectively suppress the fledgling competitor Jade Dynasty, which would make any boss angry.

Tao Yushu was not that angry, after all, she was also the investor behind Jade Dynasty.

The war between the Yulang Agency and the Yuhuang Dynasty is equivalent to her left hand fighting her right hand.

However, the stiffness, inflexibility and slowness typical of large companies that Yulang Organization displayed in the competition still made her unhappy. If the boss was unhappy, Qi Wenjie and other migrant workers would naturally suffer.

In recent months, their content department submitted more than a dozen comic topics, but all of them were killed by the boss.

The reason is that there is serious homogeneity.

Tao Yushu directly hired three screenwriters and added several more screenwriters. His vigorous and resolute methods alerted everyone in the Yulang organization.

A group of people were replaced in the screenwriting department, and creativity immediately increased.

The newly proposed topic "Legend of the Emperor" has been highly recognized by the boss. This month, the first chapter of "Legend of the Emperor" was serialized in "Yulang Comics", bringing the magazine's sales, which had been stagnant for three months, back to a peak.

"Yulang Comics" is the leading comic magazine of Yulang Organization. It is published biweekly every Friday. Its previous peak sales have always exceeded 100,000 copies.

The success of "Legend of the Emperor" made Qi Wenjie feel a little less stressed, but he still couldn't completely let go.

The reason is very simple. The success of "Legend of the Emperor" has little to do with the senior staff in the content department of Yulang Agency. It is all the result of the new screenwriter Huang Yi.

Qi Wenjie inexplicably missed the days when he followed his master to conquer the world. If he had followed his master -

This thought only came to his mind, and then was silenced by himself.

The pressure is a bit greater now, but the salary, bonuses, and options are much higher than before.

"Brother David!" his little screenwriter came over.

Qi Wenjie said "hmm" and asked, "What's the matter?"

"We have written a summary of the comic topic that the boss mentioned before. You can take a look at it."

Qi Wenjie took the notebook with an extremely serious expression.

It’s okay if he doesn’t take it seriously. This is a topic chosen by the boss.

The synopsis of the script is not long, less than 3,000 words in total. The overall story line is very clear. The world view and skill system are borrowed from "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" by Huanzhu Louzhu, and even the name is borrowed from "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

.

"Yeah, not bad."

Qi Wenjie said this, but he had no idea at all.

The comics produced by Yulang Agency have always focused on conflicts, with a masculine and majestic style.

The style of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" emphasizes the word "love", and the painting style is naturally fresh and smooth. First of all, this is a big problem for painters who are used to painting the image of "rough men".

test.

What he is even more uncertain about is the response to this comic after it is released. In the hormonal comics market in Hong Kong, can such a refreshing work stand out?

Qi Wenjie had a big question mark in his heart, and then he shook his head.

Anyway, this topic was decided by the boss, so it has nothing to do with him if it fails.

After Qi Wenjie left, Tao Yushu left work.

It's halfway through the twelfth lunar month, and according to Yanjing's eating habits, you should eat some hotpot mutton at this time. Lin Chaoyang set up a table tonight and invited a few friends.

When she got home, the ingredients were all ready.

When eating mutton-boiled at home, cutting the mutton is a troublesome task. Nowadays, there are machines that can cut the meat, but Lin Chaoyang still likes the meat cut by himself.

The meat is taken from the upper brain meat from the back of the sheep's neck and both sides of the spine. The meat is first wrapped tightly with coins and placed in the refrigerator to freeze.

The time shouldn't be too long, just the surface of the mutton needs to be frozen.

Take it out and eat it now, then cut it, pull the meat forward, release it back, cut with the top knife, and cut it quickly, the mutton slices will fall into a soft roll on the blade.

"Beautiful!" Li Hanxiang looked at the cut lamb rolls as thin as cicada wings, alternately fat and thin, with a delicate and attractive texture.

I couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Lin Chaoyang said proudly: "I learned this skill in Dong Laishun, and I have done it countless times.

1

His words did not attract the attention he expected. Li Hanxiang took the plate and brought it to the dining table, leaving him with a back view.

At this time, several people gathered around the copper hot pot with blazing charcoal fire and sparks flying into it, and put the mutton sliced ​​as thin as cicada wings into the boiling clear soup.

The bottom of the clear soup pot was bubbling and steaming. When the lamb was put into the pot, the bubbles were suppressed. In just a few seconds, the red meat turned white, and was quickly picked up by a few pairs of chopsticks.

Dip some seasoned sauce into your mouth and gently put it into your mouth. It melts in your mouth, tender and refreshing, and has a mellow taste.

Several people ate with great joy, without caring about Lin Chaoyang's life or death. He waved his knife and cut several plates of mutton before sitting down to enjoy.

Whenever you are full after eating mutton, you have to take a bite of sugar and garlic. It not only harmonizes the taste, but also makes you appetizing.

It makes people excited again.

After five minutes of eating, everyone finally slowed down in taking down their chopsticks and became more interested in chatting.

Li Hanxiang now works as an art consultant at Lin's, and occasionally participates in the investment of a movie. He easily earns three to five million yuan a year, and his life is the most leisurely.

Ti Lung has found his second spring since "A Better Tomorrow" became a hit.

Yue Hua also benefited from "A Better Tomorrow", but he is not as popular as Ti Lung. He concentrates on playing villains in Lam Pictures' films, and he also has constant film appointments.

Xu Guanwen now has higher pursuits and has long since left the category of making money. He has not acted in many movies in the past two years, but his status in the eyes of the audience is getting higher and higher.

The four of them were all directly influenced by Lin Chaoyang and their futures were changed. When they talked about it, they all lamented the magic of fate.

Three years ago, they would never have imagined the current situation.

Compared with them, Cai Lam is not having it so easy. He is Jiahe's right-hand man. Now the competition between Lin and Jiahe is in full swing. Not only does he not follow Lin Chaoyang to get the glory, but he also suffers a lot of pressure.

Everyone has benefits, but he doesn't. Cai Lan feels aggrieved when he talks about it.

"Otherwise, you can also switch jobs to Lin's." Li Hanxiang said jokingly.

Cai Lan laughed and said, "I'm going to lose a lot now. I should have come earlier. How could I become an entrepreneurial veteran?"

Tao Yushu said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "It's not too late, I'll give you a vice president."

Cai Lan was slightly surprised, then laughed and said haha.

The atmosphere at the dinner table became a little subtle. After finishing the meal, Li Hanxiang and others left in a sensible manner, while Cai Lam consciously stayed.

Tao Yushu's face was calm, with a faint smile on his face, "What you just said was not a joke, how about joining our Lin family?"

Cai Lan looked solemn when he heard this, "You Lin family should not be short of people now, right?"

"There is no shortage of people, but there is a shortage of capable people. The company is getting bigger and bigger, and it needs more and more talents.

To tell you the truth, I can’t always focus most of my energy on the movie business.”

Tao Yushu's words were exactly the same as those used to win over Shi Nansheng before. Sure enough, Cai Lan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.

He joined Shaw Brothers in the 1950s. With his outstanding ability, he became the production manager within a few years and gained the trust of the Shaw Brothers boss.

Later, Zou Wenhuai left and founded Jiahe. He also changed jobs and his achievements in Jiahe were equally impressive.

But whether he was in Shaw Brothers or Golden Harvest, Cai Lam was still a wage earner, and he just earned more than the average person.

Tao Yushu said that she would hand over the business of Lin's Pictures in the future. Such a future is indeed very tempting for Cai Lam.

What is the end of being a wage earner?

Working Emperor!

The boss of Lin's Pictures definitely deserves this title.

"I will choose this candidate among several senior executives."
