I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

In 1994, the mainland officially connected to the Internet. But at that time, the number of computers was still very low, only 17 per thousand, and most of them were in corporate offices and scientific research institutions.

Mobile communications are also developing rapidly. This year, the country has established a mobile communications company and launched digital mobile communications services in Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces.

Jingyi has an Ericsson GH338, but it can only be used in Hong Kong and Guangdong Province. GSM services have not yet been launched in other cities, so she still has to rely on a pager for communication in other cities.

After the two-part movie "A Chinese Odyssey" was released simultaneously in Taiwan, Mainland China and Hong Kong, there were indeed some discordant voices. However, the box office was much better than before. At least, Zhou Xingxing's new film company did not go bankrupt.

The two films together grossed over 70 million in the Hong Kong film market. The next film, A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella, was also ranked in the top five of the top ten box office hits.

This year, Jingyi turned down a lot of endorsements and reduced her exposure, but she still attended some award ceremonies.

After recording her fifteenth Mandarin album in mainland China, Jingyi hid in her room and began to prepare for the manuscript due next year.

This book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, is the last in the Harry Potter series. It is also the one with the most words, with a total of 36 chapters and 520,000 words.

Add to that the third book of A Song of Ice and Fire, A Storm of Swords, which has 82 chapters and 730,000 words. Typing out these 1.2 million words is really a long and tedious task.

Last year, the Pulitzer Prize for Literature in North America was awarded to Jingyi. She was unable to leave at that time, so her agent Tingting accepted the award on her behalf.

She now has a new assistant. Molly delayed herself until she was 30 years old and was forced by her family to go back and get married. Jingyi also gave her a long paid vacation and told her to come back after giving birth.

The new assistant Xiaoqi is also her junior, who was recommended by her fans. After living and working with idols, everyone can look much younger than their peers, and their skin is even smoother and whiter.

Maybe Lou Jingyi has a secret recipe for staying young? Look at her, she hasn't changed at all in the past ten years. This caused the junior schoolmates to compete fiercely for her assistant position, and the one who had the last laugh was the 22-year-old lively and active Lin Xiaoqi.

During the time when Jingyi locked herself in her room to write a book, Lin Xiaoqi rode a 24-wheeled bicycle alone and toured the entire city. She also tasted all the special delicious foods! This little assistant is a chatterbox and a social bull.

When Warner Books in New York sent someone to pick up Jingyi's manuscript, she flew back to Hong Kong with Lin Xiaoqi. It was almost the end of the year again, and she had to show up at some events held by the Hong Kong business community and government.

As a celebrity, she attended various charity galas, business celebrations, and government commemorative events.

Before we knew it, it was the beginning of 1995, and various award ceremonies in the Hong Kong entertainment industry were held as scheduled.

In the 1994 Hong Kong movie box office rankings, the champion was Chen Long's "Rumble in the Bronx". Stephen Chow's "The King of Comedy" and "A Chinese Odyssey" also ranked in the top five.

This year, three Hollywood movies also made it into the top ten box office, further compressing the box office market of Hong Kong local movies. These three movies are "Die Hard 3", "Batman" and "Seven Deadly Sins".

At the Hong Kong Film Awards, Chungking Express became the biggest winner, winning Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor. The Best Actress award went to Anita Yuen for her role in Princess Agents! A Chinese Odyssey didn't win any awards, and Jingyi returned empty-handed for the first time.

Next was the Hong Kong Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Awards Ceremony, and Jingyi was invited to serve as a judge.

This year's Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Awards featured the four kings again: Jacky Cheung's "Fatal Wolf", Andy Lau's "Love Water", Li Min's "There's Never a Day I Don't Think of You", and Guo Fucheng's "Iron Curtain Temptation".

Andy Lau won the Most Popular Male Singer of this year, and Wang Jingwen won the Most Popular Female Singer. At this year's awards ceremony, the judging committee unanimously agreed to award the late Danny Chen the Golden Needle Award to thank him for his contribution to the Chinese music scene.

"I'm going back to Hong Kong for the New Year soon. Do you want to stay in Hong Kong for the New Year holiday or come with me now?"

It was almost New Year's Eve, and Jingyi was preparing to return to Sijiu City to celebrate the New Year. She looked at the assistant who had only been working for a few months and asked her to make her own choice.

"Of course I'll go with you! I've never spent the New Year away from home, and it must be very lively in Beijing during the Spring Festival." The young assistant Xiaoqi didn't want to leave her at all.

Jingyi could only let her go. This assistant was too clingy, and she couldn't do anything secretly.

Dongdan Lou Mansion. On the New Year's Eve dinner, He Daqing cooked a table of Tan's private dishes. He is already 82 years old this year, but he is full of energy and works swiftly.

At this year's CCTV Spring Festival Gala, Jingyi saw Zhang Mingmin again. This was more times than Jingyi had participated in the Spring Festival Gala!

This year, CCTV Spring Festival Gala also invited Andy Lau to sing "Forget Love Water", and Meng Tingwei from Taiwan also contributed a song "There is a Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind".

Mainland singers are emerging one after another. Lin Yilun, Mao Ning, Yang Yuying, Jie Dong, Lao Lang, Na Ying, Mao Amin, all stepped onto the stage of the Spring Festival Gala to sing their favorite songs.

The skit that made people laugh the most this year was "Packaging Like This" by Zhao Lirong and Gong Hanlin. "Uncle Niu's Promotion" by Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei was also good!

After the Spring Festival holiday, Jingyi flew directly to New York with her assistant. More than a year ago, she had reached an agreement with Warner Music to record her third English album. Warner Music just thought she was busy creating, so they never urged her.

This time, she carefully selected 12 classic English songs to record and release in North America. During the recording period, Warner Bros. came to her again. This time, they not only wanted to buy the rights to Harry Potter, the film and television works and the peripherals, but also the complete set of A Song of Ice and Fire.

It's only 1995 now, so it's probably too early to sell at a high price. In her previous life, a female writer in England earned more than $3 billion from this set of books, becoming the richest woman in England.

But Warner Bros. had come to talk to her several times, so it would be hard to refuse. Besides, her net worth had already exceeded several hundred billion dollars, so asking for too much money would be useless.

So Jingyi sold the copyrights of Harry Potter, film, television and peripherals at a low price of 40 million US dollars per film. In the previous life, the British female author also had a share of the box office, but Jingyi did not mention it.

In the previous life, Warner Bros. produced eight Harry Potter films (the last one was made into two parts), with a total box office of 7.8 billion U.S. dollars, and the female author received more than 300 million U.S. dollars.

But Jingyi relied on her influence to sell her books much better than that female writer, especially in Asia where she has more readers!

This time, Warner Pictures published a complete set of Harry Potter hardcover collector's editions. More than 76 million copies were sold around the world in one month, and Jingyi earned more than 300 million US dollars in that month alone.

Another major reason why books are selling well now is that the Internet is not well developed and there are no electronic books. If you want to learn something now, you still have to rely on books, newspapers and magazines.
