Time passed quickly, and half a month passed. During this half month, Zhao Chen was busy every day, not only his various jobs, but also needed to "point fingers" at the Tianxia Comics Company that had not been founded for a long time. He was so tired that he couldn't breathe.

Shangguan Xiaobao was happy to do this, because the various opinions Zhao Chen said were not only novel, but some of them could increase the sales of magazines. However, because the comic company was too weak, most of them could not be used for the time being. Even so, Shangguan Xiaobao chose several of them, and he felt that this could enhance consumers' desire for purchase.

Due to Shangguan Xiaobao, the local tyrant, the publisher was determined not long after. This is a small publisher. The number of printings is not much. It can be said that the business is bleak, but it is precisely because of this that the price is absolutely fair. For Zhao Chen, who has not much property, there is nothing more suitable than this.

If the sales of magazines or newspapers increase widely in the future, they can also replace them with larger-scale publishing houses, and the cost of large-scale printing will inevitably be reduced a lot.

Ma Rongcheng's "Heroes of China" was revised a few days ago. This time, the quality of "Heroes of China" was significantly better, at least not worse than the original works of later generations. However, given that Ma Rongcheng's speed alone was too slow, Zhao Chen had to find two pretty good assistants. As for the assistant's salary, Ma Rongcheng paid entirely according to the rules, which is a considerable burden for Ma Rongcheng now.

The small publisher found by Shangguan Xiaobao is relatively sparse in daily business and often produces stolen/prints to barely maintain it. At this time, it is on the verge of bankruptcy, which leads to the lowest cost among all publishers. As for quality, Zhao Chen will not reduce costs in this regard, because he is very clear that if he wants to become bigger and stronger, he will not be able to reduce costs in this regard, otherwise readers who purchase will naturally feel grudges.

The speed of the small publishing house was pretty good. A comic magazine that served as a sample was quickly customized. After discussion with Zhao Chen and Shangguan Xiaobao, the number of the first batch of magazines was finally decided to be 10,000. Although it didn't seem too many, this was quite difficult for a newly founded comic company, mainly because of Zhao Chen's existing fame.

The production channel can be said to be a perfect solution, but it only encountered difficulties in the sales channel. Due to competition, even if Zhao Chen is the best-selling cartoonist of Shenghuo Publishing House today, Shenghuo Publishing House will not be stupid enough to lend its sales channel to Zhao Chen for use.

As for Jin Yong's Ming Pao Group, he politely rejected the proposal of Zhao Chen and Shangguan Xiaobao. Although there is no competitive relationship between the two, and Zhao Chen is also a well-known writer of Ming Pao. Jin Yong cannot agree unless it costs a huge price, and the price proposed is something that Zhao Chen cannot accept.

Fortunately, perhaps because of the friendship between the two parties, Jin Yong agreed to build momentum for Zhao Chen's comic magazine in Ming Pao these days, which was an unexpected surprise.

Although Ming Pao will create momentum for comic magazines, Zhao Chen also knew in his heart that Jin Yong would not be so generous with his stingy personality. It would be very authentic to be able to leave a piece of dried tofu for himself. After all, this is only for free for the sake of friendship between the two parties.

Zhao Chen, who had no choice, finally found Fang Yihua. Since "Shanghai Bund" had just been broadcast, Fang Yihua had already obtained the ratings counted in diary form, and the numbers on it naturally seemed quite shocking. Since "Shanghai Bund" had been broadcast for several episodes, the ratings can be said to have been rising steadily, and finally stabilized at 75%, an indestructible rating. Especially in the finale, the average ratings exceeded 80%, and the highest ratings were barely more than 90%, which made his competitor Li's TV station breathless.

When "Shanghai Bund" was aired, it caused a scene of people being empty. As soon as time came, there were almost no people on the bustling streets. Even if I saw it, I would hurried to my home, which shows how popular "Shanghai Bund" was.

It is obvious that due to the very detailed writing of Zhao Chen's "Shanghai Band" and Wang Tianlin as the director, the quality of "Shanghai Band" is obviously better. As a result, when "Shanghai Band" was broadcast, Li's TV station cut two TV series in a row, but it could not stop the trend of "Shanghai Band" becoming more and more popular.

In the end, the average viewership rate of "Shanghai Bund" was almost over 70%. Judging from this viewership rate, Zhao Chen could get 5,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode. The total of "Shanghai Bund" was 24 episodes, minus the 30,000 Hong Kong dollars paid in advance. TVB finally paid Zhao Chen 90,000 Hong Kong dollars again. Of course, there was no tax in it. But even so, no TV screenwriter dared to say that his script income exceeded that of Zhao Chen. It was really that the ratings of "Shanghai Bund" were too terrifying. That is, Zhao Chen became a well-known screenwriter in Xiangjiang with "Shanghai Bund".

It was also with the achievements of "Shanghai Bund", a senior executive of Li's TV station took the initiative to find Zhao Chen, hoping to win over the youngest well-known screenwriter to write the script for Li's TV station, but unfortunately he was rejected by Zhao Chen. It was not a price issue, but Zhao Chen still owed Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua favors, and Shao Yifu's influence is quite strong in Xiangjiang, so Zhao Chen naturally would not make Shao Yifu dissatisfied because of that little interest.

The senior executives of Lidi TV can be said to have come back with excitement, but they are helpless in their hearts, because at this time, Zhao Chen successfully started to rise in less than three months. He has a great reputation in the comics, novels and even screenwriters, consolidating the status of a celebrity in Xiangjiang. It is impossible to retaliate on the surface. Sometimes it is like this. When you have a great reputation enough, unless the relationship between the two parties reaches a point of immortality, you will not easily take revenge.

This was just a small episode that happened not long ago. Zhao Chen didn't take it seriously, but for some reason the news was leaked, but Zhao Chen also gained deeper friendship and appreciation from Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua.

At this time, Zhao Chen came to look for Fang Yihua, naturally because of the matter of Tianxia Comics Company. As the overlord of Xiangjiang TV at this time, the ratings of the TVB TV station can be said to be very considerable. Zhao Chen came here to use the TVB TV station to spread it to increase his popularity, while the sales of comic magazines will also be driven at the same time.

"Ms. Fang, I just founded a comic company some time ago. This time I came here to ask the TVB station for help in promoting it."

After a greeting, Zhao Chen said straight to the point, but his eyes were staring at Fang Yihua, afraid that Fang Yihua would refuse.

Fang Yihua did not speak immediately, but thought for a moment, and said with a embarrassed expression on her face: "Chenzi, this matter is very important now. I don't have the right to make a decision. You wait first, I will call Lao Shao first!"

"Then I'm sorry Ms. Fang!"

Fang Yihua picked up the phone on the table, and the phone quickly got through a busy voice. The person who was talking to Fang Yihua was naturally the tycoon Shao Yifu, because Shao had this right.

After Fang Yihua put down the phone, she said with a smile on her face: "Old Shao thinks it is acceptable. At that time, just insert scrolling subtitles during the TV series to let the audience see it! But you can only give you three days."

Zhao Chen was naturally overjoyed, but he didn't expect it to be so easy. He knew very well that using scrolling subtitles would inevitably affect the audience, which may reduce the ratings and attract the audience's dissatisfaction. It can be said that Daheng Shao has given face in three days.

The reason why Shao Yifu agreed to Zhao Chen so easily was entirely because he was attracted by Zhao Chen's talent and believed that Zhao Chen's future was limitless! Of course, there were other purposes, that is, Shaw Brothers movies have declined in recent years. Zhao Chen's "Shanghai Bund" created a rating miracle. He hoped that Zhao Chen could write a good movie script, which would give Zhao Chen convenience.

Not only that, because "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is also suitable for filming TV and movies, Shao Daheng wants to obtain the copyright of "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty" TV and movies through his relationship with Zhao Chen. With the classics of "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty" and the vast number of fans, as long as you are not afraid of being too bad, the ratings and box office will naturally be guaranteed.
