Chapter 41 On the rooftop I slept too late the night before, the second...
Having slept too late the night before, Li Daohua did not get up until almost noon the next day.
Fortunately, Lin Jinfeng and the others knew that Li Daohua was busy too late last night, so they did not come to disturb her. When they saw her get up, they asked her if she was hungry.
We agreed to write a TV series. TV series are different from movies. TV series are longer and require more plot content, so they have to be like novels.
Although TV dramas can be secretly added to and forcibly extended, it is easy to lose quality by doing so.
After dinner, Li Daohua hurriedly began to write an outline and look up information.
In addition to writing about real estate, it would be best if this TV series could also export mainland customs.
It’s a pity that there were not many high-rise buildings in the country at that time, which did not conform to the style of the real estate boom period.
That doesn't matter. Since it's real estate, rich people can travel around. And the decoration style of the best building, the new Chinese style, can also export domestic culture.
The rich people in Hong Kong are the most superstitious. Of course, the stuff from their ancestors is better, plus plus.
The outline is only to ensure that the novel as a whole does not go astray, and Li Daohua seemed to be assisted by God when writing it.
Since it's a light comedy, you have to add a funny character from time to time. If the main character is not funny enough, you have to add a funny character among the main supporting characters.
Speaking of funny things, Li Daohua has lived many more years than them. He goes online every day, and the netizens he meets speak in a nice and interesting way, making people linger on.
The protagonist is a girl who has lived in Gangzhai since childhood. When she was young, she shuttled through the narrow and dim streets every day. Her greatest happiness was playing on the roof, even though every year there were children who slipped and fell from the roof.
Her father came from the mainland, and because he was educated, the girl Anna followed her father to study since she was a child.
There are no schools in Gangzhai, and most of the children are uneducated. Boys join local gangs in their teens, and girls are controlled by the gangs and forced to stand on the streets in their teens.
Anna grew up in the Hongzhai until she was thirteen or fourteen years old. As she became more and more beautiful, and with her cultural talent gained from her education, several social groups came to harass their home.
They forced her father An Wenjian to hand Anna over to them.
In order to prevent his daughter from becoming a street prostitute, An Wenjian found his former friend overnight and sent Anna out of the village.
They can't afford to go to school. Ordinary schools are the private domain of social groups, and they don't have money to go to aristocratic schools.
Relying on her looks and the books she had read, Anna successfully got a job as a front desk receptionist in a large company. By chance, she came into contact with real estate and also got to know Chen Cha, an ordinary clerk.
Anna, who had just come out of the Hong Kong village, made a fool of herself because of her inexperience. Later, she gradually grew into a cold elite and drifted away from Chen Cha.
"I came from Hong Kong Village. I know very well that what ordinary people want most in their life is a place to stand. So whoever has land can make a lot of money."
"Then why are you helping them to harm others?"
"I'm not helping them to harm others. If it weren't for me, those people in Gangzhai wouldn't even have a house. If they choose money, they won't get either the money or the house in the end!"
Anna was wearing a well-fitting suit, with a red work badge hanging around her neck, and one side of her long, slightly curly hair was tucked behind her ear.
Gangzhai was developed by the real estate company where Anna worked, but in the end the company only gave everyone a house and nothing else.
For this reason, Gangzhai has more than once blocked the real estate company's construction team from carrying out projects, and even resorted to violence.
"Do you know how many gangs there are in Hong Kong Village? And how many ordinary people are controlled by these gangs? You know nothing. You only see the surface."
Those who blocked the real estate company's construction team from moving in were all members of the community. Ordinary people in Gangzhai were extremely eager for the real estate company to develop Gangzhai.
This was the last real estate development that Anna participated in. After that, Anna left Hong Kong Island and traveled around the world.
In the early and middle stages of the novel, Anna helped the company to set up many schemes in order to get promoted, including speculation on house prices...
Li Sanzhu and the others only knew that Li Daohua had been writing manuscripts recently, and when Lin Jinfeng helped to sort out what she wrote, she couldn't understand it.
When Zhang Xinyan was finishing "Shaolin Temple", he visited Li Daohua again, and Li Daohua handed him the half-written "Above the Rooftop".
At this point, the plot has just reached the first stage of Anna's real estate speculation. She uses her reputation as a wealthy person, plus the best building and a half-true and half-false government development plan. The price of Tongtianyuan, which is under construction, rises three times a day.
Ordinary citizens who see the profitability are also crazily discussing this future new era community in Hong Kong Island.
The final outcome is that the government development plan is fake, and the wealthy people who bought the houses are just a ruse. Part of the money from buying the houses will be returned to the wealthy people, and the top buildings will remain vacant after they are sold, with no one living in them...
Citizens who originally hoped to make huge profits by buying houses lost their capital and were burdened with loans.
Some people who were unable to repay their loans went to the rooftops in desperation and jumped off.
These people became the last straw that broke the camel's back for this community. Because of the deaths, housing prices fell again, but this has nothing to do with the real estate company. Ordinary people are the ones who have to bear the brunt of the losses.
Zhang Xinyan spent a day reading the first half, and he read it very slowly, for fear of missing any point. Sometimes he would flip back from the back to the front just to verify each other.
"Teacher Daohua has been to Hong Kong Island?"
"No, I was born and raised in the inland area. I didn't come to Beijing until 1979. Before that I had always lived in Henan Province."
All of this had already been revealed in the newspapers, including what primary school Li Daohua attended in Henan Province and who her primary school teachers were.
Li Daohua’s primary school teacher is now also a formal teacher.
That primary school was originally a village school, and the teachers were just literate middle-aged people from the nearby villages, some of whom had only a junior high school education. Naturally, the level of the students they taught was average.
It is difficult to get into junior high school, let alone technical secondary school and high school.
After teaching Li Daohua, this teacher was invited to the town and even the county to share his experience, especially his experience in literary enlightenment.
He doesn't have any experience at all. He just teaches honestly and conscientiously.
He was not a flatterer and honestly admitted that he had not contributed much. Li Daohua's elementary school grades were also terrible. The only thing worthy of praise during his elementary school years was that he was upright.
In school, she always leads people to do justice. Anyone who dares to bully the weak can wait for her iron fist of justice.
"He has never been to Hong Kong Island, but he can write about it so vividly. Teacher Daohua is really..." Zhang Xinyan felt that he didn't know what to say.
Li Daohua has never been to Hong Kong Island, but that doesn't stop her from watching countless Hong Kong movies and TV series. Although they have all been artistically processed, one can still see the big picture from the details.
In "On the Rooftop", there are both inland plots and Hong Kong Island plots. For example, the part about the king of the building cannot be filmed in Hong Kong Island, so it is necessary to find a house in the inland to shoot.
Most of the luxury residential buildings in Hong Kong Island are in Western style, which meets Li Daohua’s needs of Suzhou gardens or Beijing courtyard houses.
The two discussed the shooting issues for a long time in order to achieve the best effect.
According to Zhang Xinyan's idea, there has never been such a TV series in Hong Kong before. He has a hunch that this TV series will definitely become the ratings champion after it is broadcast. If the plot is not bad, then other places will not lag behind either.
"Don't worry, I will apply for the filming as soon as I get back, and I will shoot this TV series as quickly as possible."
Li Daohua, however, did not take it seriously. Zhang Xinyan's work ability was indeed good and his shooting speed was also good. The problem was that the film and television company behind him was not very good.
"Shaolin Temple" took three years from project initiation to completion. Although there was a problem with the shooting of another director that led to a complete reshoot, this was also related to the film and television company's improper use of personnel.
This TV series is not as simple as just asking Hong Kong to agree to film it. It also involves the inland and requires joint filming by both parties.
After Zhang Xinyan left, Li Daohua continued to write "Above the Rooftop", but the second half was not as rushed as the first half. Anyway, there would still be enough time to write the second half even after the official filming began.
It is still unknown how long it will take before the official shooting begins. Li Daohua thinks that it will conservatively take half a year.
During the time she was writing the manuscript, Li Fengshou had been following the crew of "Shaolin Temple". He was not an employee, but just learning.
The actors in the crew didn't know him at first. These actors had joined the crew very early, and they didn't watch "One Roof" when it was broadcast.
I saw him hanging around the crew often, and I had never seen him before, so I was curious about who he was.
I learned from the staff that he is also an actor and has played the leading role a long time ago. The movies he filmed are now very popular.
Because he was so popular, he was recognized every time he went out. Li Daohua didn't dare to let him take pictures for them. When they were worried about where to put him, Zhang Xinyan said that he could join their crew to learn, which would not delay the filming anyway.
"The movies he made are only watched by people in our country, but the movies we made are to be shown in Hong Kong Island."
The actors in the "Shaolin Temple" crew were very wary of Li Fengshou. If they hadn't already filmed part of their movie and Li Fengshou had no martial arts skills, they would have almost thought that the crew was going to replace the actor.
This isn't the first time the crew has done this.
But soon they heard that the director wanted to work with mainland partners to shoot a TV series with many episodes, based on the stories written by Sister Li Fengshou and Teacher Daohua.
"That's his sister. The director must give his sister face. If she plays a role in the movie, he will become famous in Hong Kong Island."
Zhang Xinyan did have this idea, especially after seeing the story, he felt it was necessary to make friends with Li Daohua. This kind of cultural person can be very scary when he grows up. There are similar cultural people in Hong Kong Island.
You don't have to play the leading role, it's okay to play a supporting role.
In Hong Kong Island, Zhang Xinyan returned to his company, Central Plains Film Production Company, with the scripts of "Shaolin Temple" and "Above the Rooftop".
