  The mountains and rivers are so poor that there is no way out, and there is another village!

   Just when Chu Huan thought that this trip to Taiwan Island would end in failure, Gu Long actually brought Chu Huan a big surprise.

"What friend?"

  Chu Huan asked a little excitedly.

  Gu Long smiled proudly, and said: "I definitely can't tell you now, you follow me first, and you will know when you get to the place."

  Chu Huan has no doubts. Although he has not been in contact with Gu Long for a long time, Chu Huan also understands that Gu Long will definitely not joke with him about this kind of thing.

"Walk!"

   "Wait a minute, what about the good wine you talked about?" Gu Long stopped Chu Huan.

Chu Huan laughed and signaled Chen Hua to go upstairs. Before Chu Huan asked Chen Hua to buy wine, he found two bottles of really good wine. Chu Huan specially kept them here. Two bottles of good wine are naturally no problem.

   "Come on, let's wait in the car!"

  Chu Huan dragged Gu Long out of the hotel.

on the car.

  Gu Long proudly said: "I'm asking this person out for you this time. I'm talking about my treat, but wait a minute"

  Chu Huan immediately understood and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Chu will pay for all the dragons tonight."

  Gu Long laughed and said, "It's not too bad."

   Not long after, Chen Hua came out with the wine.

On the way to the hotel, Gu Long seriously said to Chu Huan: "A Huan, I made an appointment for you. For my sake, the other party is definitely willing to help you, but if you want to To be able to develop smoothly on Taiwan Island, this relationship still needs to be maintained by yourself!"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Brother Hua, don't worry, I still understand this."

  Before, Gu Long told himself that he had nothing to do with the film producer, so the person I met with today should not be a film producer from Taiwan.

   In addition, Gu Long did not disclose the news to himself before, which shows that Gu Long has no confidence in whether this matter will be successful or whether the other party will agree to help.

   But now that Gu Long came to find him, according to Gu Long's character, he must have obtained a guarantee from the other party, so he came to find him.

  Things are smoothed out, and the next thing will be easy to handle.

  As Gu Long said, this time, the opponent is looking at Gu Long's face. No matter what kind of relationship they have, he must pay some benefits.

  But this is acceptable to Chu Huan.

   Soon under Gu Long's command, they came to a classical style restaurant.

  Chu Huan and Gu Long got off the car and walked into the restaurant. The waiter here obviously knew Gu Long.

   "Mr. Xiong, you are here, Mr. Liu is already waiting inside."

  Gu Long laughed, and said: "I didn't expect him to come very quickly."

  Led by the waiter, the two of them came to the private room. Chu Huan saw a young man in his twenties with a refined temperament in a suit.

  Gu Long laughed loudly at this time: "A Huan, this is the good friend I told you about, Shangguan Wei, who is now a professor at Taiwan Shuimu University."

   While Chu Huan was surprised by the identity of the other party, he finally figured out why Gu Long knew this person.

  Shangguan Bing is just the other party's pen name, the other party's real identity is the top second generation of Taiwan Island, prefixed with an official character!

  His father is now the head of Taiwan's air force, and this one will become the president of Taiwan's Shuimu University in the future, the minister of Taiwan's Ministry of Communications, and some unspecified but extremely high-ranking officials.

   As for the pen name of Shangguan Wei, he actually shared it with several of his older brothers. During his college years, this person wrote many martial arts novels one after another.

   is also a celebrity in the world of martial arts novels in Taiwan.

   After returning from studying in Canada, he went to teach at Mizuki University.

   "It turned out to be Brother Shangguan, who has admired his name for a long time, admired his name for a long time!" Although Chu Huan was surprised by the identity of the other party, he did not show flattery, but preached in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.

  Shangguan Yan laughed, and said: "Haha, you are the first person to let Brother Yaohua find me, Chu Huan!"

  Chu Huan looked at Gu Long gratefully. The two had only known each other for a few days, and Chu Huan was even more moved by the convenience of using such a large network for him.

  This emotion even exceeds the fact that I can complete my visit to Taiwan Island this time.

  Gu Long laughed indifferently and said: "This is how men's friendship is. A meal of wine makes each other pleasing to the eye, which is better than knowing each other for decades!"

  Shangguan Yan laughed and said: "No wonder your novels are full of prodigal sons, just like you!"

   After the three of them greeted each other, they sat down and didn't just come up to drink, but talked about the business first.

  Shangguan Bing said: "I heard from Brother Yaohua, A Huan, your company's film has suffered some setbacks when it was released in Taiwan?"

  Chu Huan smiled wryly and said: "That's true. The Taiwanese filmmakers are more afraid of Shaw Brothers and Jiahe than I can imagine."

  Shangguan Yan said with a smile: "That's for sure, after all, most of the films shown in theaters on Taiwan Island are these two companies' movies."

  After a pause, Shangguan asked: "However, how did I hear that Shaw Brothers is already operating the release of your company's movies on Taiwan Island?"

  Gu Long is a prodigal son, and after drinking with Chu Huan, he has already introduced Chu Huan as his lifelong confidant.

  But Shangguan Mi can't do it, he needs to know more things.

  After Gu Long found him, he investigated Chu Huan through his own relationship. He didn't know if he didn't investigate, but he was really shocked when he did the investigation.

   I didn't expect Chu Huan's experience in Xiangjiang to be so legendary.

  Chu Huan was not surprised at all that Shangguan Kai knew about Shaw Brothers' operation of "Dragon and Tiger Fight" in Taiwan.

   laughed and said: "Having a father and a mother is not as good as having one yourself, not to mention the relationship between Shaw Brothers and black and white images."

Shangguan Mi nodded, and didn't delve too deeply into this matter, and said with a smile: "I have already called my friend, and the other party is also willing to give me some face. I will give you a few names, A Huan, and I will wait for you tomorrow." Just take the initiative to contact them, and then there should be no problem!"

  The problem that had troubled Chu Huan for a long time was easily resolved with a few phone calls from Shangguan.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Brother Shangguan's help, I am very grateful, but there is one more thing I want to discuss with Brother Shangguan."

  Shangguan Biao was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Chu Huan meant.

   "A Huan, Brother Yaohua and I are very good friends, his friends are naturally my friends, and it's our job to help each other."

  Chu Huan waved his hand and said: "You can't say that. Helping others is a matter of affection, and not helping is a duty. If I am so content with being helped by my friends, it really can't be justified."

  Shangguan Biao nodded and said: "Since this is the case, if you have anything to say, you can tell me!"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "I want to start a martial arts magazine in Taiwan, and invite articles from martial arts masters in Taiwan and Hong Kong!"

After a pause, Chu Huan continued: "When I am free, I also read some martial arts novels, but I found that besides being published in newspapers and magazines, there are not many real martial arts magazines in Hong Kong or Taiwan Island. This, and the typesetting settings of those magazines are also very bad."

   "If there is a professional martial arts magazine published, I think it will shine!"

  Gu Long showed a look of indifference. Although he wrote martial arts novels, he didn't really care if there was such a martial arts magazine. Anyway, Gu Long never lacked newspapers and magazine invitations.

On the contrary, Shangguan Ting showed a happy expression. Although he doesn't write novels very much now, he likes to read them. If there is such a martial arts magazine in Taiwan, it will definitely be a treat for an old bookworm like him. Gospel!

  But thinking of the current situation of martial arts novels in Hong Kong and Taiwan, Shangguan said seriously: "A Huan, your suggestion is definitely good, but it is actually very difficult to make it happen!"

  Gu Long asked: "You mean that there is no distribution channel for novels on A Huan's side?"

Shangguan Wei waved his hand and said: "The distribution channel is actually very easy to handle. This is different from the film company, there is not such a big competition. I mean Brother Yaohua, do you feel that the company that asked you for a draft in the past year has started to decreased?"

  Gu Long thought for a while, and then said: "Let me say this, it seems that there is such a thing."

Shangguan Mi nodded and said: "It's different from before. In the past, people had fewer ways to entertain themselves, so everyone liked to read books and watch martial arts novels, but now it's different. There are TV dramas in Taiwan, martial arts movies in Xiangjiang, and manga in Japan. , are dividing the martial arts novel market in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

  I did a survey some time ago, and the number of martial arts novel rental bookstores in Taiwan Island is declining sharply, and publishing houses are also facing difficulties as operators.”

In fact, Shangguan was not wrong. If Chu Huan did not appear, according to the current situation, one year later, the martial arts publishing industry in Taiwan would sink to the bottom; there were less than half of the original 3,000 martial arts novel rental shops. And mostly changed to rental comics and doll books.

The "leader" of the martial arts publishing industry, Truth, Goodness and Beauty Publishing House, is reprinting the "Xiandao Series". The "new students" all went out of business due to the death of their boss, and only "Everbright" and "Nan Qi" were left to support the end.

  The world of martial arts in Xiangjiang declined even more. "Warrior Fiction Weekly" and "Martial Arts and History" ceased publication.

As for the several publishing houses that specialize in martial arts books, they have already changed directions. Only the Universal Book Company to which "Martial Arts World" belongs and the Heming Publishing Company to which "Martial Arts Spring and Autumn" belongs, occasionally publish the masterpieces published in the magazines and print them in collections. Some booklets have been published, and other publishing houses such as "Perseverance" can only survive by reprinting Taiwan's works.

   This is why the number of scripts created by Gu Long in the later period is much higher than that of novels, because there is no market for novels.

After listening to Shangguan Hao's description, Gu Long was a little silent. After all, he now lives by writing martial arts novels. If the martial arts novels in Taidao are really like what Shangguan Hao said, then he has to make plans for his future .

   "A Huan, this is the general trend and cannot be avoided!"

  Finally, Shangguan Fu preached to Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan thought for a while, and said: "Although the general trend is irreversible, we can delay the occurrence of the general trend, and find another way to extend his life for martial arts novels in Hong Kong and Taiwan."

  Chu Huan's words made Gu Long and Shangguan Fu all show hopeful expressions.

   "How do you say this?"

   Shangguan could not help asking.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "It's actually very simple. In my vision, this martial arts novel will be divided into two sections. The first section will publish the novels of famous martial arts novelists, and the second section will publish the novels of the new generation. Novels by martial arts novelists.

Not only that, we can make a gimmick. In martial arts novels, there are often martial arts conferences. We also hold a martial arts conference and leave a small advertisement in the magazine for readers to cut out. There are six blank spaces on the ad for readers to write their names.

  Three sections are used to write the names of famous writers, and three sections are used to write the names of new generation writers.

  According to the readers' replies, the magazine announces the top three winners of the martial arts competition every month.

  At the end of the year, according to the number of receipts received by each writer, the titles of martial arts leader, deputy leader, and rookie king in the martial arts novel circle in Hong Kong and Taiwan were selected that year.

   And matched with various rewards, in order to fully stimulate the novelist's creative passion.

  I always believe that fiction, as a creative art, will never become obsolete, at most it will change in genre.

  In addition, this can also fully mobilize the reader's sense of participation. From now on, the relationship between them and the novelist is no longer simply separated by a novel and has nothing to do with it.

   Their support represents the popularity of their favorite novelist.

  In addition, we can also hold a signing event for the top three famous writers and emerging writers every month after the selection to communicate with readers.”

  Chu Huan took out the operation of the starting point in the previous life.

  Shangguan Biao and Gu Long were dumbfounded. After Chu Huan finished speaking, they both looked at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.

   "Hey, A Huan, it's amazing how your head is opened." Gu Long sighed.

  Shangguan Fu even said: "In this case, the martial arts novelists in the entire Hong Kong and Taiwan regions will be taken under your command!"

What Gu Long was concerned about was that Chu Huan's idea was wild and unconstrained, but Shangguan took a more far-reaching view. If this matter is really successful, it is definitely possible to continue the life of Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts novels. In addition, don't forget that Chu Huan is Make movies.

   Then by then, Chu Huan will no longer lack martial arts themes?

  Thinking of this, Shangguan Mi's eyes on Chu Huan also changed. No wonder this young man was able to complete his magnificent comeback in less than a year.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "The matter is not over yet. If the magazine is successful, we can also establish a comic magazine. As for the content of the comic magazine, we will mainly adapt martial arts novels. At that time, novelists in Hong Kong and Taiwan will add their own At the same time, these can also be distributed as rewards for the ranking of martial arts novelists."

  Anyway, just change the mode of the starting point and use it to operate.

  Gu Long and Shangguan Bing heard it with enthusiasm, as if they saw a new development route for martial arts novels.

"Successful!" Shangguan Tingtu threw away his elegance, tugged on his tie, and excitedly said to Chu Huan, "Ah Huan, if this matter really succeeds, I will guarantee your business." On Taiwan Island, there will never be any problems again. As long as it does not violate the general environment!"

  Chu Huan laughed, what he wanted was Shangguan's words.

  With this promise from Shangguan, in the next ten years or so, his business on Taiwan Island will not have any problems.

Gu Long said: "Although this plan sounds very good, I don't think it is that easy to implement it. First of all, how to ensure that this magazine has enough writers to join, and secondly, even if there is, it needs a lot of publicity. It involves a lot of capital investment.”

  Chu Huan said: "Since I said this plan, I will naturally invest in the money. I can invest one million Hong Kong dollars in the early stage."

  Shangguan Bing said: "All the official procedures of this magazine, sales channels, and other messy things that need to be solved by contacts, I will take care of them!"

   After the two finished speaking, they looked at Gu Long in unison!

  Gu Long was a little confused by the eyes of the two, "What are you doing, do you want money or connections, I will not give it to you!"

  Chu Huan and Shangguan Yan both laughed, and said at the same time: "Wrong, you have the biggest contacts in your hands!"

  Gu Long was stunned: "I still have this ability, why didn't I know?"

  Shangguan Biao explained with a smile: "The name Gu Long is a gold-lettered signboard in the world of martial arts. If you issue the Jianghu order, everyone will not give you face!"

  Gu Long suddenly realized what kind of plan Chu Huan and Shangguan were planning.

   "I thought about it for a while, what you two said seems to make a lot of sense!"

Afterwards, the three began to discuss the specifics of establishing the magazine. Chu Huan was in charge of funding and accounted for 51% of the magazine's shares. Shangguan Yu was responsible for solving all official problems of the magazine and accounted for 30% of the magazine's shares. Gu Long was in charge of contacting Hong Kong. Taiwanese martial arts novelists come to the magazine to publish books, accounting for 19% of the shares.

  In addition, it is the specific operation of the company after its establishment.

  The three of them have their own things to do, Chu Huan has Xiangjiang's business to take care of, Shangguan has to go to teach at Shuimu University, Gu Long.

  Forget it, if he is put in charge of these things, the magazine will definitely go bankrupt in the end.

  So they need professional talents.

   "Ah Huan, it seems that you are going to stay on Taiwan Island for a few more days. You brought up the matter, so you can't just pat your **** and leave!"

  Shangguan Fu was speaking in a good mood at this time.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "I will write up the plan to establish a magazine the day after tomorrow. As for renting a place and recruiting talents, I'd better leave it to you, Brother Shangguan. I'm not familiar with the affairs of Taiwan Island after all!"

   It's not that Chu Huan wants to be a hands-off shopkeeper, nor is it that Chu Huan believes in Shangguan 100%; the martial arts magazine is mainly an insurance that Chu Huan bought for his business in Taiwan.

After all, Chu Huan's goal is not just to have cooperative distributors. In the not-too-distant future, the Shanhai Cinema Line under Chu Huan's name will build its own theater in Taiwan Island, and the convenience store chain will be a The main battlefield, even the video store.

  All of these need the help of Shangguan Wei.

   As for the magazine, it was really an accidental product.

   But it is also Chu Huan's thinking that is more in line with Shangguan Wei and Gu Long who write martial arts novels. They write about the joys and sorrows of the rivers and lakes, so they hope that the people around them will do the same.

   "Okay, I will take the lead in this matter, but you, A Huan, must appoint the candidate for the president!"

  Shangguan Fu didn't refuse either.

  Chu Huan has no objection to this either.

   "Have you finished your business?" Gu Long finally seized the opportunity to speak.

  Chu Huan and Shangguan Fu looked at each other with a smile, and said, "It's over."

   "Then what are you waiting for?" Gu Long laughed and said, "Have a drink!"

Chu Huan returned to the hotel when the sky was getting dark, but this time, Chu Huan did not drink as much as last time. Although Gu Long was desperate to drink, he also knew that Chu Huan had something important to do the next day To do, so this time the three of them just drank happily, and didn't drink too much.

   After a brief rest, when Chu Huan got up again, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

   This time Chu Huan was a lot smarter, she went out after washing and getting dressed, and she saw Lin Qingxia sitting in the living room, but at this time Lin Qingxia fell asleep sitting on the sofa.

  The sun shines on the room, and Lin Qingxia is under the sunlight. If there is no gleam at the corner of her mouth, she is really glamorous!

  Hearing the movement, Lin Qingxia opened her eyes in a trance, saw Chu Huan standing next to her, felt the moisture at the corner of her mouth, and blushed suddenly.

   Wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth in a panic, he said shyly, "Huan, Brother Huan, when did you come out?"

  Chu Huan smiled and said, "I've been out for a while."

   Didn't you see everything?

  Lin Qingxia became more and more embarrassed.

   "Have you had breakfast?" Chu Huan asked.

  Lin Qingxia nodded, then lowered her head and said softly: "I've eaten, the hotel said you ordered them to deliver it in the morning."

  Chu Huan explained: "I was called out to drink by Gu Long last night, and I was worried that you came early and didn't have breakfast, so I asked them to bring it to you."

  Lin Qingxia's heart became more and more warm, "Thank you Brother Huan."

  Chu Huan nodded.

  In order to ease her embarrassment, Lin Qingxia hurriedly asked: "Brother Huan, where shall we go to play today?"

  Chu Huan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I don't have time to play today. I have some business partners to meet."

Although Shangguan Teng said that he only needs to make a few phone calls, but a face-to-face meeting can better strengthen the cooperative relationship between the two parties, so Chu Huan is going to meet the few people Shangguan Teng helped to contact today. .

   "Didn't it mean that your affairs on Taiwan Island are over?" Lin Qingxia asked a little puzzled.

  Chu Huan said: "Gu Long helped contact a few friends yesterday, and things turned around."

  Lin Qingxia immediately showed a surprised expression, excitedly held Chu Huan's hand, and asked: "Brother Huan, you can do business on Taiwan Island again."

   "Yes!" Chu Huan smiled pretending to know nothing.

   On the contrary, it was Lin Qingxia who realized that her behavior had crossed the line after she got excited, so she quickly withdrew her hand, and at the same time Xia Fei's temples were flying.

  Chu Huan said: "I'll make a few phone calls first, and we'll go to work later."

   "Hmm!" Lin Qingxia's voice was not as good as that of a mosquito.

  Chu Huan began to contact those people according to the phone number left by Shangguan. It was obvious that Shangguan had contacted the other party. After learning of Chu Huan's identity, he very enthusiastically expressed that Chu Huan could come to discuss in detail at any time.

  So Chu Huan and these people made appointments to meet at different times. After making the last phone call, Chu Huan took Lin Qingxia out of the hotel and began to visit each of them to discuss cooperation matters.

  The whole process was smooth and messy, and both parties also signed the distribution rights of the film after the black-and-white image in Taiwan.

In addition, I want to single out the movie "Dragon and Tiger", because the distribution rights of this movie in Taiwan have been signed by Chu Huan to Shaw Brothers, but Chu Huan kept his mind on it at the time. The exclusive distribution rights have not been signed, so the movie "Dragon and Tiger Fighting" will be a joint distribution of black and white images and Shaw Brothers.

  That's why Chu Huan chose to release the movie with Shaw Brothers to maximize the benefits.

   After finishing all this, it was already evening, but this time Chu Huan did not directly send Lin Qingxia home, but took Lin Qingxia back to the hotel first.

   Lin Qingxia had some doubts about Chu Huan's decision, but she didn't ask.

   After arriving at the hotel, Lin Qingxia also asked another curious question first.

   "Brother Huan, these people were obviously unwilling to cooperate with you before. Why did these people's attitudes change drastically after one night?"

   After running with Chu Huan for a day today, Lin Qingxia was very curious. When talking about this matter with Chu Huan yesterday, Chu Huan still expressed that things in Taiwan Island were not going well.

   But now, in one night, some people's attitudes have changed. This is something Lin Qingxia, who has just graduated from high school, can't understand.

  Chu Huan did not hide either, and told Lin Qingxia about his meeting with Shangguan last night.

   Lin Qingxia didn't know much about Shangguan. She wasn't interested in martial arts novels, and she didn't know much about the affairs of the upper class on Taiwan Island.

   "Then if Brother Huan wants to start a magazine in Taiwan, will he come to Taiwan often in the future?"

  Lin Qingxia asked a little shyly.

Chu Huan deliberately said: "It's hard to say that I will come here often. The magazine's affairs will be managed by professional people, and the distribution will be handed over to other people in the company. There should not be too many opportunities to come to Taiwan Island in the future. gone."

  When Lin Qingxia heard that Chu Huan would not come to Taiwan Island often, she was disappointed for no reason.

"Oh!"

   It was just a simple response, so I didn't say anything more.

  Chu Huan talked about his real purpose at this time.

   "Qingxia, you also know that I have a film company in Xiangjiang. Your image is really suitable to be an artist. Do you have any idea to come to my company to be an actor?"

   Not today, thank you everyone~
