On the second day after "Drunk Wine" was released, on January 23, 1983, Lin Jing did not go out on Sunday, but stayed in the room and wrote "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".

When writing "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", because the purpose was to tempt her younger brother to learn English, she did not keep rushing around every day like she did in the past works such as "Heroics", "Kunlun" and "Things in the Ming Dynasty". Instead, she waited for her younger brother to finish reading and thoroughly understand part of it before continuing to write the following part.

So the progress is very slow. It has been almost a month since I have only written more than 200,000 words.

Talk! Talk! Talk! Talk!

"Sister, it's me." A knock on the door sounded, and the cry of my younger brother Lin Yan came from outside the door.

"Come in!"

Lin Yan opened the door and rushed in like a whirlwind with a large stack of newspapers in his hand.

"Sister, sister, hurry up, hurry up, read the newspaper!" Lin Yan said angrily.

"What's wrong? You're so anxious?"

"Sister, the newspaper said you have a boyfriend?"

"Boy friend?"

Lin Jing was stunned. How could I have a boyfriend? Isn’t this a big deal?

"Is it true?" Lin Yan asked carefully.

"Fake it, how could I have a boyfriend!" Lin Jing replied directly, then took all the newspapers in his brother's hand and looked them out one by one.

"This one." Lin Yan directly pulled out a colorful newspaper from a stack of newspapers, "Ye, it's written on it.

"Lin Jing disguised herself as a couple with her friends, and watched the movie "Wine Dried and Sold Without Sale" written by her screenwriter."

A newspaper that is obviously a gossip tabloid wrote this sentence on the front page headline.

Below the title, there is also a night photo of two people.

The outline of a person is very similar to Lin Jing. Most people think it is Lin Jing when they see this photo. As for another person, the reporter taking the photo had a tricky angle when taking the photo, or he was intentional, so that the person was only half a side, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.

The so-called "there are pictures and the truth", coupled with the misleading of the word "two-in-one" has caused a question in the minds of the newspaper: Is this person Lin Jing's boyfriend?

Lin Jing couldn't help but feel a little amused. Isn't this a naked fraud?

The editor of this newspaper is too ok. Even though he knew it was not the truth, he deliberately created a "truth" that seemed true or false in order to attract attention.

"This person is your sister Huimin, you have seen him before." Seeing his younger brother Lin Yan looking at him in confusion, Lin Jing had to explain.

"Oh, it turns out that you went to watch a movie with Sister Hui Min last night." Lin Yan nodded thoughtfully and said.

"No other problem?"

"there is none left."

Lin Yan shook his head and walked out.

After Lin Yan left, Lin Jing had no intention of continuing to write.

She stood up and took a few deep breaths to calm her agitation. She walked around the room for a few times, but she was still a little irritated. Suo picked up other newspapers.

Fortunately, other newspapers are not as unscrupulous as that gossip tabloid.

"The "Wine Dried and Sold" was released simultaneously in Hong Kong and Taiwan."

This is the headline of other newspapers.

"Lin Jing is a restless and an unwilling author. While writing novels and history, she also supervised the screenwriter. This time, she brought us a sad story. This story shocked me, moved me, made me cry, and made me sad."

"The combination of Lin Jing and Anhua Xu threw a heavy tear-gas bomb in this commercial film and film industry that was filled with laughter!"

"The "Wine Dry and Selling Nothing" is a tragic drama, which is constantly sensational from beginning to end, and constantly "artificially" creates various disasters. But "Wine Dry and Selling Nothing" is not just a tragic drama, because in addition to making people cry, it can also bring deeper thoughts to the audience."

"Thanks to the screenwriter of this movie, Ms. Lin Jing and director of Ann Hui, for giving us the honor of seeing such film and television works that can give us conscience in such an impetuous and utilitarian era. If you look closely, you will not find that one tragedy after another is just the result of our own writing, directing, acting, and paying the bill. If you don't believe it, hold your breath and observe carefully, you may see the role we play at some moment."

"This is a movie that can resonate with a generation. "Wine Dry and Sell Nothing" not only reflects the tragedy of one or two families, but more reflects the tragedy of one era."

"In this movie, we can all find ourselves and find ourselves, and the difference is whether we can change ourselves after watching this movie."

...

In Hong Kong, many media have received a rare cheer for a movie for the first time.

And the contrary to cheering is—

A week later, the box office of "Drinks and Selling No" was calculated, and Hong Kong was 4.3 million Hong Kong dollars and Taiwan was 8 million New Taiwan dollars.

According to the latest exchange rate statistics in January 1983, NT$8 million was converted into Hong Kong dollars, which was about NT$1.6 million.

The first week of 4.3 million yuan is a result that can already hold a celebration banquet for most Hong Kong movies. But for Lin Jing, it is not, because this is the lowest box office in the first week of the movies made by her screenwriter.

The box office of "The Strange Scheme and the Five Blessings Stars" was HK$5.13 million in the first week, which exceeded "Wine Dried and Selling Without", and "Plan a" became even more powerful, with 16.73 million directly, which is almost a world of difference.

By the second week, the box office in Hong Kong was 2.75 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office in Taiwan was 9 million New Taiwan dollars, or about 1.8 million Hong Kong dollars.

The box office in Hong Kong dropped by half. "Experts" speculated that the reason why the first week of "Wine Dried and Selling" was able to reach HK$4.3 million was the role of the screenwriter Lin Jing's "celebrity effect".

But for a movie, the role of the "celebrity effect" can be temporarily but cannot last, so in the second week, the box office dropped by half.

"Lin Jing's third screenwriter movie "Wine Dry and Selling Nothing" encountered a Waterloo, and it was so popular!"

A newspaper directly used this passage as a headline and waited on the newspaper.

Fortunately, when the box office in Hong Kong was sluggish, the box office in Taiwan did not follow suit, but instead rose slightly. However, this fixed-point increase is just a drop in the bucket in the eyes of many people.

In the third week, the box office in Hong Kong was 1.87 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office in Taiwan was 15 million New Taiwan dollars, which was about 3 million Hong Kong dollars.

The Hong Kong box office declined irresistible, and even fell to freezing point.

But what no one expected was that Taiwan's box office had steadily increased, and the increase was very large, showing two extremes.

In the fourth week, "Dried Wine and Selling Nothing" has been released in Hong Kong, while in Taiwan, the box office is NT$12 million, or about HK$2.4 million, a slight decline, but not much decline.

In the fifth week, due to the strong demands of Taiwanese citizens, the "Wine Drinking and Selling" that should have been released, and the box office experienced a strong explosion, with a sharp increase of NT$2,000, or about HK$4 million.

In the sixth week, "Drinks and Selling Nothing" still did not draw any paintings, although the box office has dropped to more than NT$11 million, or about HK$2.2 million.

It was not until the seventh week that "Drunk Wine" was forced to take over the movie and finally finished the painting.

But in the middle of this year and the end of the year, it was released twice. Of course, that was all about the later story.
Chapter completed!
