Yang Zhao's goal was very clear. He wanted to use the cheapest price to obtain long-term, high-quality advertising spots, and thus obtain more benefits for his family's business.
How could Ang Lee not understand this fellow's intentions? His lips curled into a slight smile as he said, "Of course there must be a discount. Does Yang Taifu plan to buy the spots monthly or yearly?"
"How about monthly? So what if it's yearly? How much difference can there be in the price? "
Yang Zhao's eyes lit up as he asked in a low voice.
Ang Lee thought for a moment before replying, "20% monthly and 40% yearly. How about that?"
"It's still too expensive, too expensive."
Yang Zhao's cheeks twitched as he said, "Assistant Minister Li, you know about our Yang family's business. The promotion of this new type of underwear is very important to women's health and benefits the country and the people. The price of this advertising spot should be lower."
"Then what kind of price does Yang Taifu think is reasonable?"
Ang Lee tilted his head and asked.
Yang Zhao said shamelessly, "In order to support the development of women's health and health, 10% of the advertising fee should be enough."
"This fellow's skin is really thick. He actually proposed such an outrageous request. 10% is equivalent to snatching advertising spots for free."
Ang Lee sighed inwardly and said, "10% of the advertising fee is too little. The Tang dynasty's profits are all from advertising fees. If we take 10% of the advertising fee, the Tang dynasty will suffer a loss."
Yang Zhao smiled and said, "If it's just our family, it won't affect the Tang dynasty's income. How about we add 10% to the advertising fee to buy alcohol for Assistant Minister Li?"
"Alright! Deal, it's settled. "
Li An agreed. He knew that the Yang family was very favored now, and these advertisements didn't belong to Yang Zhao alone. The imperial concubines in the palace also had a share, so he was already giving him face. Moreover, the lower the advertising fee, the lower the price of the products. For the majority of female friends, this was a good thing. Perhaps even middle-income families would be able to use these advertisements.
In addition, Ang Lee could also embezzle a sum of money. It was a good choice, and no one dared to interfere.
The Legend of the Condor Heroes only had a total of forty chapters, and there wasn't much content. Therefore, it only took two months for the series, which was regarded as a masterpiece by later generations, to be completed.
When Ang Lee wrote the words "end" at the end of chapter 40, many readers felt that it was a pity. This was because there were too many regrets in this script. They wanted to read the rest of the story. At least half of the readers scolded Ang Lee's work for being a lousy ending. There was clearly more content to write, so how could it end? How nice would it be to continue writing!
When a story came to an end, there would always be people who were disappointed and sad. Many readers who were still immersed in the story felt that life was hopeless. Their hearts were empty, as if the blue sky had turned light gray.
The window on the second floor of the Grand Pleasure Building slowly opened. Ming Yue Lil 'Miss was leaning against the window, looking up at the stars in the sky. She just looked at them silently, seemingly without any expression. But if one looked closely, they would find that her eyes were slightly sorrowful.
"Miss, what's so good about the stars? It's getting late. You should rest."
In the brothel, the top girls were usually served by someone to show that they were different from the rest. It could also improve their standard of living.
"Little girl, the sky is so beautiful. How can you say that there's nothing to see?"
Ming Yue Lil 'Miss didn't turn her head and continued to look at the starry sky.
"Beautiful? Why can't I see it? "
The little girl was confused.
"Forget it. You're still young. Of course, you can't understand this kind of artistic conception. "
Ming Yue Lil 'Miss shook her head. She felt that she shouldn't say these things to a little girl.
"What's wrong with you today? You seem very unhappy."
Ming Yue Lil 'Miss turned her head and pointed at the Tang dynasty newspaper on the table. She sighed and said, "Didn't you read the Legend of the Condor Heroes? It's finished. It won't be updated anymore."
After saying that, she looked disappointed, as if she had lost her soul.
"If you're done, then so be it! It's not worth making you sad. "
The little girl felt that the girl in front of her was very strange.
"Little girl, do you like Brother Jing in the Legend of the Condor Heroes?"
Ming Yue Lil 'Miss asked.
"Of course I like him. Brother Jing is silly, but he's very kind. He's very good to everyone."
The little girl answered without hesitation.
Ming Yue Lil 'Miss turned her head and continued to look at the night sky. She sighed and said, "How can there be a good man like Brother Jing in this world? Even if there is such a good man, only the pure and lovely Princess Huazheng and the pure and innocent Miss Rong' er are worthy of him. I'm afraid that I won't have the chance to meet such a good man like him in the brothel."
After saying that, she felt extremely disappointed. She lamented that fate played tricks on people. She was destined to not be happy.
"Don't say that. The young masters who come here all love you very much. In order to see you, they are willing to pay any amount of gold."
The little girl said with a face full of envy.
"These lecherous men are only infatuated with my appearance. Once I grow old, they won't be infatuated anymore."
Ming Yue Lil 'Miss said and couldn't help but worry about her future.
"That girl hopes to have a person like Brother Jing, who can take her to Jianghu, watch the sunrise and sunset, and live a carefree life."
The little girl said in a small voice.
She didn't dare to say these words out loud. After all, they were all people in the brothel. Without the permission of the procuress, they couldn't leave. They were a group of pitiful people who had lost their freedom.
"Little girl, don't you want to live a carefree life like this? But we can only stay in this damned place for the rest of our lives. I'm afraid that there is no hope in this life."
Ming Yue Lil 'Miss had already determined that the latter half of her life would be a tragedy. But, as long as she could be glorious for a while when she was young, this life would be worth it.
"Girl, you are so beautiful. Why don't you take advantage of your youth and beauty to find your own home? There are so many rich young masters, but none of them can enter your eyes."
Ming Yue Lil 'Miss heard this and shook her head.
"Those who can come to our Junyue Brothel, there really isn't someone like Brother Jing. Will there really be such a good young master?"
"Of course there won't be. Why would such a good man like Brother Jing come to this kind of place? Forget it, let's rest! "
Ming Yue Lil 'Miss gently closed the window. With the help of the servant girl, she walked to the side of the bed.
Although Junyue Brothel's business had always been booming, Ming Yue Lil 'Miss often had to receive guests. But as her fame continued to rise, her value also doubled. Thus, the majority of the guests did not have the financial resources to meet with her. Thus, naturally, she appeared to be more idle.
Ming Yue Lil 'Miss was not the only one who opened the window to look at the night sky and yearn for spring. After watching the last scene of the condor shooting, many unmarried girls also had the same dreamy thoughts.
However, these young girls with pure bodies, their hearts were filled with anticipation and yearning. They were filled with hope that they would meet a good person like Brother Jing in the future. They were not like Ming Yue Lil 'Miss, who was filled with despair for their future.
This was the special characteristic of the women of this era. Pure women were filled with hope for themselves. But the women of the brothel never dared to have too many extravagant hopes.
And the difference between this and the situation of the future was too great. The prosperous society of the future was still an era where people laughed at the poor and did not laugh at the prostitutes. For money, one could even sell one's soul. But once one had money, then one would be a true master.
Every year, tens of thousands of prostitutes returned home to marry. It could be said that they had turned over a new leaf. Moreover, they specifically targeted honest men for marriage. It was as if the honest men had dug up their ancestral graves.
Prostitutes were generally very rich. Rich women naturally had a great advantage in terms of choosing a spouse. Especially high-class prostitutes, it was very easy for them to earn millions or even tens of millions of assets. Using the money they earned, they could do business and package themselves as a female boss. Step by step, they would wash their identity clean.
In this way, marrying a nouveau riche would be no pressure at all. Moreover, it would be an authentic first wife.
Therefore, many poor women in the future, in order to change their living conditions and achieve a leap in class, would choose to become high-class prostitutes. After earning money, they would wash themselves clean and smoothly marry a rich nouveau riche, allowing themselves to live a rich and luxurious life.
When he thought about how many women who spent millions of dollars to marry home were prostitutes, Ang Lee felt a burst of regret in his heart. Spending money to become a green-haired tortoise was definitely a great sorrow. Fortunately, Ang Lee was single in his previous life and had always been single. Therefore, he did not have the opportunity to become a green-haired tortoise. Regarding this, Ang Lee was very glad.
In addition to the infatuated girls, after watching the last Shoot the Condor, many young and poor scholars also sighed with emotion.
They were also fascinated by the characters in the movie. The innocent and lovely Princess Huazheng, the eccentric Miss Rong 'er, the gentle Mu Nianci, and a large number of supporting women, all of them moved their hearts and made them sigh endlessly.
These poor scholars were the complete losers of this era. They did not have money to go to prostitutes. They could only fantasize in their minds. They fantasized that one day they would become Brother Jing, who was skilled in martial arts, and they would be able to meet young women like Huazheng and Rong 'er. Then, their lives would be perfect.
There were also some court officials and older scholars who saw another layer of things. They felt that although the Jin Dynasty had declined, the crisis of the Song Dynasty had not been resolved. Instead, the crisis had become even greater.
The Mongolian army was extremely elite. If the Mongolian army attacked the Song Dynasty, the threat would be far greater than that of the Jin Dynasty. Thus, the Southern Song Dynasty would suffer even greater losses.
Moreover, from the story, it could be seen that the Mongolian army had the intention to attack the Song Dynasty. As long as the time was right, they would go south to attack the Song Dynasty.
In short, the completion of the Shoot the Condor caused a lot of discussion among the readers of the Tang dynasty. Different readers paid attention to different things. It even caused a lot of controversy.
Especially before the end of the novel, when Genghis Khan was about to die, the hero that he kept talking about was the most thought-provoking. Many literati and generals were thinking about what a real hero was and what characteristics a hero should have.
In the Zichen Hall of the Daming Palace, Li Longji also let out a long sigh. The Shoot the Condor that he had been following for two months was finally completed. He was very satisfied with it, but after it was finished, he felt somewhat empty in his heart. He wanted to find someone to talk to and discuss the plot.
Gao Lishi became the best person to talk to and discuss with. However, this damn eunuch had too many concerns, so he could not discuss the plot with Li Longji very well. He also did not dare to casually express some political views, so as not to leave the impression that he was involved in politics.
"This story is not bad after all. Assistant Minister Li has also worked hard. However, I think that in the future, the Tang dynasty needs to have novels."
Li Longji said.
"Everyone, this old servant also thinks so. Assistant Minister Li is really good at making stories."
"Come, pass my order. Ask Assistant Minister Li to come to the palace. I have something to ask him. "
Li Longji issued an imperial edict, asking Ang Lee to come to the palace to meet him.
After receiving the imperial edict, Ang Lee knew that it must be about the completion of the novel. He smiled and ran to the palace with confidence.
"Your Majesty."
"Assistant Minister Li, come here. Let's talk about the plot of the Shoot the Condor."
Li Longji took Ang Lee and began to talk about the whole plot of the Shoot the Condor. In many classic scenes, he had to ask carefully to figure out why Ang Lee wrote it like this.
They discussed the plot for more than half an hour, from the beginning to the end of the story. They talked quite happily and congenially.
Ang Lee and Li Longji also laughed from time to time to express their excitement.
"Assistant Minister Li, the Shooting Condor Story is already finished. Shouldn't there be a new story next?"
Li Longji asked.
"Your Majesty is wise. I will write a new story, but it is also related to the previous story. It is also a very wonderful story. Your Majesty, just wait and see."
"Well, Assistant Minister Li, write your new book well. I am waiting to read it. By the way, how is the development of the plane going? When can it fly? "
Li Longji said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, it is almost done. It can be tested in a month at most."
Ang Lee answered happily. He was confident about the development of the plane, and it was indeed almost done. After the test flight, there would be endless improvements.
After returning to the courtyard, Ang Lee immediately began to organize the plot of the Condor Heroes in his mind. The Legend of the Condor Heroes had finished, and the Legend of the Condor Heroes must be released immediately. There could not be any gap in the middle. Otherwise, it would have a great impact on the sales of the Tang dynasty newspaper. After all, many readers bought and subscribed to the Tang dynasty newspaper mainly for the novel. Once the newspaper lost the novelization of the novel, the sales would certainly drop a lot.
Fortunately, Ang Lee had an amazing memory. He remembered the whole plot of the Shoot the Condor Heroes. As long as he made an outline and recalled carefully, he could quickly write the content.
Before writing this new work, Ang Lee had to explain the background of the story and point out that this new work was based on the previous Shoot the Condor Heroes to arouse the readers' great interest.
