Chapter 5 has no cheat codes.
Chapter 5 has no cheat codes.
Lan Yun, the actress who plays the female lead in "Jade Mahjong".
It seems to be an actor from Pearl River Film Studio.
Many people may not be familiar with the name "Zhou Wenqiong", but they will probably have heard of her other identity.
She is Liu Yifei's aunt!
In his past life, Xu Shengjie spoke up for Liu Yifei when she was being bullied by the Wang brothers.
It's nothing really. It basically means: What kind of skill is it for a group of big bosses and capitalists to make things difficult for a girl?
It was just a private complaint, but somehow it got leaked and turned into a rumor that "the Wang brothers are abusing their power, and the poor director is speaking out for justice." At the time, the Wang brothers' company had successfully gone public, and they were riding high. So, after hearing the rumors, they didn't hesitate to threaten to blacklist Xu Shengjie from the industry, and as a result, Xu Shengjie was ignored by everyone.
Most importantly, Liu Yifei went to Hong Kong Island at that time.
They didn't even know about it.
Xu Shengjie had no choice but to accept it; what else could he do?
After being blacklisted for about five or six years, Xu Shengjie saw no way to make a comeback, so he left the film and television industry and became an editor at a publishing house.
Don't underestimate this job; it's a job in Guangdong Province, and it's a secure, stable job.
Because of his love for European and American literature, Xu Shengjie took charge of editing the Modern European and American Popular Literature Series.
I never expected that after only a few years of work, I would be bedridden...
So, was the woman who appeared at the murder scene last night Zhou Wenqiong?
Xu Shengjie picked up the cigarette case from the table, lit a cigarette, and then shook his head with a wry smile.
This matter will eventually need to be resolved!
Otherwise, if Uncle Kenny and his men found out there were witnesses, they would definitely try to silence them.
Despite the kindness of Uncle Kenny and Zhang Ping'an towards him, in the original owner's memories, these two were absolutely ruthless.
But how can we solve this?
The best way is to kill Zhou Wenqiong and silence her.
This is New York, in Manhattan.
The bottom of the Hudson River is filled with wronged souls, so what difference does it make if there's an Asian woman?
But this is an entertainment novel, not a novel about corrupt police officers; Xu Shengjie was born under the red flag in his previous life, grew up in the new China, stood on the mountains and rivers, and held the sun, moon and stars in his hands... Although his hands are stained with blood, that was the good deeds of the original owner, and has nothing to do with him.
kill?
He wouldn't do it unless absolutely necessary.
Even if he had no other choice, he might not have been able to do it.
Why don't we talk to her?
Xu Shengjie would never admit that it was because Zhou Wenqiong was beautiful.
[Remember the fastest online novel website: 121999.com]
He just didn't want to kill anyone!
The address is in Dongcun, which is the territory of the Dong'an Gang.
An old gang, with a history even longer than the Ghost Shadow Gang... It wasn't as powerful as the Ghost Shadow Gang back then, but its foundation is no less impressive.
The entire Lower Manhattan East Village is within the sphere of influence of the East Bank gang.
The original owner had a good relationship with the younger generation of the Dong'an Gang; they had fought together against the BTK Vietnamese gang and also beaten up quite a few Japanese. Dongcun was known as "Little Tokyo" because of its many Japanese restaurants.
Conflicts between the Dong'an Gang and the Japanese were very frequent in the early 1990s.
The situation only eased after the Inamoto Association withdrew from Chinatown.
I glanced up at the clock; it was already five o'clock.
Xu Shengjie didn't feel sleepy at all. He got up and drew back the curtains, but it was still pitch black outside.
Zhou Wenqiong's matter is actually not important.
Based on his understanding of the actors and artists who came to the United States during that era, he knew they were quite timid!
If they weren't desperate, they probably wouldn't dare to cause any further trouble.
Chinese people are humble, which is reasonable; but if you put it another way, they are cowardly and weak.
In the United States, humility is justified but offers no way out.
This concept simply doesn't exist in American culture. The more humble and reasonable you are, the easier you are to bully, and the more you'll be looked down upon.
In fact, the older immigrants, by the time of Xu Shengjie's generation, had already figured it out.
When faced with bullying, three generations of immigrants in Chinatown will never back down; they will fight to the bitter end, even if it means getting beaten bloody.
Unfortunately, there are more and more new immigrants, and these new immigrants are like docile little lambs after they arrive.
This also meant that the awakening of older immigrants ultimately failed to gain traction with the increase in new immigrants.
……
Let's put Zhou Wenqiong's matter aside for now.
The most pressing issue is how to navigate the road ahead.
Mr. Yin's insistence on his withdrawal from the Ghost Shadow Gang is unlikely to change; but what about letting him go back to school and take the college entrance exam?
To be honest, Xu Shengjie wasn't very interested either.
He knew nothing about finance.
Or perhaps he simply had no interest in it in his past life.
I knew about the subprime crisis, but it wouldn't happen until 08, which is thirteen years away.
Even if it were right in front of him, even if he had enough money, how would he proceed? He was completely clueless.
Upon careful consideration, it seems that besides acting and writing scripts, they don't have many other skills.
By the way, he likes literature.
When I was an editor, because I was fluent in English, French and Spanish, I was very familiar with the best-selling books in Europe and America for the next twenty years.
In addition, he has an astonishing amount of film viewing experience.
Even during the years he was blacklisted, he continued to analyze films.
He has watched many of the works from the three major European cinemas, Oscar winners, and even influential TV series from Europe and America.
They even used their connections at the school to get access to unedited or banned films.
besides?
Xu Shengjie scratched his head, looking a little confused.
对了,他还记得96/00/04年欧洲杯和98/02/06世界盃的结果。
We could try getting some spinach... It would definitely be safer to do it through Uncle Kenny and his crew.
But those are all crooked and unethical methods. The most crucial question is, what can he actually do?
After much thought, it seems that only two paths remain: copying books and making films.
Filmmaking is definitely not easy. The United States has its own set of rules, and it is very difficult for outsiders to join in.
Not to mention Hollywood... there's just too little room for Chinese people to make a difference!
His situation might be a little better, since the original owner was American.
If you're coming from China...
In short: Extremely difficult!
After all, the honeymoon period between China and the United States is over, and the future will be more difficult as development proceeds amidst constant conflict and confrontation.
Write books, make money, and then make movies.
But I'm not in a hurry to go to Hollywood!
He's completely clueless now; in the past, he could only be taken advantage of.
New York is also a significant player in the American film and television industry, boasting a large number of independent filmmakers, abundant funding, and diverse media channels. Comparatively speaking, seeking opportunities in New York is currently more cost-effective than struggling in Hollywood.
Jimmy from the Dong'an gang seems to know quite a few actors and directors in New York.
If all else fails, try talking to him later?
Thinking of this, Xu Shengjie suddenly remembered something and removed the bandage from his arm.
The bleeding has stopped!
But the wound was clearly visible.
He looked at the spot in his abdomen where he had been shot, but which now had no scars, and then at the clearly visible wound on his arm.
Xu Shengjie can confirm that he did not acquire any special abilities.
He guessed that the healing of his abdominal wound was a perk he received when he transmigrated, commonly known as a "newbie gift pack".
Therefore, there is no cheat code!
Or perhaps the golden finger has already been given out, and it seems he can only rely on himself for everything in the future.
Thinking of this, Xu Shengjie suddenly felt a strange sense of urgency, as if he would lose many opportunities with each passing day.
He scratched his head, got up, and went into the bedroom.
From the desk drawer, I pulled out a somewhat worn notebook and a pen.
What should I write?
If you were to name the best-selling and most profitable works of the next twenty years, it would definitely be Harry Potter.
It is 1994!
Xu Shengjie read a report in his previous life that said Rowling was inspired to write Harry Potter in 89, and then spent several years building the magical world, finally completing the outline and the first three chapters in 96.
But he dared not gamble!
Even though he knew that the first Harry Potter book was published in 97, he still didn't dare to gamble.
What if?
Moreover, he greatly admires Rowling.
It's not because of her work, but because she will stand up and oppose it clearly during a time when LGBT rights are on the rise.
Even when everyone turned against him, he remained steadfast in his stance.
Yes, Harry Potter is very profitable!
But Harry Potter isn't the only book that makes money...
It seems that George R.R. Martin finalized the concept for "A Song of Ice and Fire," also known as Game of Thrones, back in 92 and began writing it.
Most importantly, George R.R. Martin is not an amateur!
He is not only a writer, but also a screenwriter, producer, and the Southwest Director of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
He was nominated for the Nebula Award and the Hugo Award back in the 70s.
He has a great reputation and a high status in the industry, and is not someone that a small fry like Xu Shengjie could possibly mess with.
Actually, Rowling is the same.
She has the support of the Scottish Arts Association, and her literary agent, Christopher Little, is one of the top literary agents in Great Britain. To start writing prematurely could very well bring unnecessary trouble and difficulties.
Don't ask Xu Shengjie how he knows this information.
In his past life, he worked at the Guangdong Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security, where he was an editor specializing in this type of information.
1994 marked the rise of campus fantasy literature and the beginning of China's shift from martial arts culture to fantasy culture...
During this period, many excellent works emerged in Europe and America.
From Harry Potter to the post-millennium era, Twilight, Percy Jackson—there are simply too many choices.
But Xu Shengjie needs a work that can quickly generate revenue.
Since you've decided not to choose Harry Potter, then you can choose...
Suddenly, an American TV series flashed into Xu Shengjie's mind.
He just graduated from high school and is around that age, so it seems like there shouldn't be much of a problem adapting that TV series into a novel.
Most importantly, filming for that series will begin in 96.
Based on his understanding of American TV series and his memory of interviewing the screenwriter of that particular series, he only began developing the script in 96.
In other words, that American TV series, which aired in 94, would most likely not appear until the end of 95.
That's it!
Xu Shengjie no longer hesitated and wrote the book's title in his notebook...
