Make a Fortune and Become Well-off [90] - Chapter 51
Director Li read these letters and couldn’t help but say to Editor Bao, “The female lead is only twelve years old. What kind of male lead do they want? The main reader group of our magazine is male readers. You should send an email to Ning Meng immediately. Don’t let the male lead come out.”
As the female editor-in-chief, Bao Rexin, like the female readers, felt that there could be a male lead, but she still said, “You can keep Zhan Zhao hanging at the back, so that female readers would read too.”
The two old people, who had been working together for many years, couldn’t help but smile at each other and both thought it was a good idea.
What worried old readers was that although the first case was concluded in the third issue, the second case was paused at the critical moment.
They wrote letters to criticize the magazine. While scolding the magazine for its decline, a magazine with martial arts as its core actually serialized criminal investigation mystery novels, which simply failed to live up to the expectations of the readers.
Some of them were still unsatisfied after reading the Catcher of Song Dynasty, so they ran back to watch Justice Bao. While Justice Bao made the Catcher of Song Dynasty popular, the popularity of Wuxia also brought Justice Bao higher ratings. It made Justice Bao, who had high ratings, once again usher in a new high in ratings.
There were also many viewers and readers who called the TV station that bought the broadcast rights of Justice Bao and asked if Catcher in Song Dynasty was the follow-up to Justice Bao and whether Justice Bao was going to make a second film.
Too many viewers called the TV station and mentioned Catcher in Song Dynasty, which also attracted the attention of the TV station’s people to Catcher in Song Dynasty and the Wuxia magazine.
In order to find out more about it, the person in charge of the TV station asked the staff to buy Wuxia and read the novel Catcher in Song Dynasty.
That was an era of martial arts craze for everyone. There were novels such as Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Wen Ruian, movies such as The Swordsman of Shaolin Temple: The Invincible Crane and the Needle, etc., and TV series such as The Condor Heroes and the Legend of the Condor Heroes.
Everyone watched martial arts and everyone loved martial arts.
Television staff were no exception.
The new criminal detective case-style martial arts in the martial arts magazine was quite similar to the Gu Long martial arts Lu Xiaofeng, but the two were completely different.
“Director, didn’t you say before that the station was going to make a drama? How about the Catcher of Song Dynasty? Take advantage of the popularity of Justice Bao on our station and make a sequel quickly. The TV station staff will promote it. The popularity of Justice Bao is so open and aboveboard. They bought the rights to broadcast it in the mainland. It would be a pity not to use it.”
The director was moved when he said, “It’s a pity that only two cases have come out. At present, it seems that the two cases are connected. We don’t know what will happen in the future. Let’s wait and see when the next few issues come out.”
“Then if the broadcast is over by then?” After the broadcast, the enthusiasm would dissipate.
The station manager held the magazine in his hand and couldn’t help but want to hit this young man on the head, “Silly, it won’t be over. It will be replayed.”
Those days, people’s entertainment activities were limited. Apart from going to karaoke and dancing, the only thing they could do was watch TV at home. Popular dramas like Justice Bao would be watched by people even if they were rerun three times, let alone one rerun.
Things turned out just as Jiang Ning guessed. After military training, there was no time to write. They had to get up at 5:30 in the morning and stand in military posture for two and a half hours, waiting for all the seniors in the second and third grade of high school to finish their breakfast and go to class. They dispersed and went to the cafeteria to have breakfast. They had to keep quiet so as not to disturb the students who were in regular classes in the second and third grades of high school. Then they went to practice turning left and right and walking in step.
During practice, the instructor shouted slogans, and the freshmen didn’t need to shout, otherwise the sound would be too loud and it would disturb the high school sophomores and juniors in the teaching building.
After school ended at five o’clock, when the second and third-grade students went to the cafeteria to eat, the freshmen at that time were practicing marching and shouting in unison.
When the senior students returned to the teaching building for evening self-study, it was their turn to eat and fetch water. After eating and fetching water, they went to stand in military posture for another two hours. When they returned to the dormitory, they finished bathing. After that, they were so tired that they didn’t want to move at all in bed.
But Jiang Ning couldn’t rest. Even if it was only half an hour, she had to get up.
The other girls in the room were numb when they saw her curled up like that. They had no choice but to take out their books and read them while lying or sitting on the bed.
Xu Xiuli, who was very tired, moved a little late. When she returned to the dormitory, she saw her roommates rolled up again. After drying her clothes, she lay back on the bed, picked up the book, and put it down again. She couldn’t help but ask Jiang Ning, “Jiang Ning, what are you doing? Aren’t you tired?”
Jiang Ning wrote, “I’m tired, my legs are almost paralyzed.”
Not only was she standing in a military posture for so long on the first day, she also had to stand on the flag-raising platform where everyone was staring intently, so she couldn’t relax for a moment.
Xu Xiuli looked at Jiang Ning, then at the other girls in the dormitory, and reluctantly picked up a book.
At five o’clock in the morning, while Jiang Ning was still in a deep sleep, a sharp whistle sounded, “Assemble.”
A new day had begun.
Wang Yong still hadn’t found Jiang Ning.
He called back to the magazine and reported the itinerary to Director Li. “People in No. 1 High School said that there is no teacher named Jiang Ning.” His voice was very depressed and weak.
“Nothing is impossible.” Director Li, who had not received a reply to the email, was also furious. “What about No. 2 High School? If there is no Jiang Ning in No. 2 High School, look for No. 3 High School. Are there any other schools nearby?”
Director Li also thought of other possibilities, “The name Jiang Ning may also be the name of a girl. In this case, ask if there is any teacher whose family member is named Jiang Ning. She may also be someone’s lover or wife.”
That sentence opened up Wang Yong’s new ideas.
After all, Wang Yong was a person with a press pass, so he held his press pass and began to ask around the school which teacher’s lover’s surname was Jiang.
“Jiang Ning, no, I don’t know.”
