Chapter 112: Fooled
The next morning, under the banyan tree headquarters.
After William Zhu received the manuscript of "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant", he immediately asked the company's finance to go to a nearby bank and transfer the remaining manuscript fee to Lin Weidong's bank account.
Immediately afterwards, William Zhu handed over the manuscript of "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" to the subordinates of the editorial department for review.
Since "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" is going to be published and put on the shelves, it must not be published according to the standards of online novels, but reviewed according to the standards of traditional publishing.
According to the requirements of traditional publishing, there should not be more than 2 typos in the 10,000 words of the novel's text, but by this standard, online literature is basically all counterfeit and shoddy products.
After being busy for a while, William Zhu returned to the office, stretched out his hand, and said to Lin Weidong with a smile: "It's hard work, in order to catch up with the manuscript, everyone has lost a lot of weight." ”
Lin Weidong also shook his hand and said with a smile: "It's not hard, I just want to make more money." ”
In fact, Lin Weidong became thinner, not because of writing books, on the contrary, writing books not only does not make people thinner, but also makes people fat.
The reason is very simple, if you sit at your desk every day, sit for a day, and have almost no exercise at all, how can you become thinner.
Strictly speaking, the reason why Lin Weidong has lost so much weight is mainly because he is prone to sweating in summer, coupled with the frequent trysts with Li Xiaojuan in the past two months, almost every time he meets, Lin Weidong is squeezed thin by her.
William Zhu nodded, and then asked, "Do you have any plans for the future?"
Lin Weidong thought for a while and said, "I don't know yet, I'm still thinking about it." ”
William Zhu nodded, and then asked, "Lonely City, I want to know, do you have any plans to enter the film and television industry?"
Lin Weidong was stunned for a moment, and asked angrily and funny: "Mr. Zhu, why did you suddenly ask like this?"
William Zhu paused and replied with a question: "Isn't it? You have always refused to sell me the film and television rights of "Flight Attendant", don't you just want to operate the project yourself?"
Lin Weidong smiled and said calmly: "That's right, I do have this idea, but it's just a thought." ”
Seeing Lin Weidong's answer so simply, William Zhu felt relieved and said: "Don't be so arrogant, people still have to dream, I wish you early success." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Zhu!"
Later, William Zhu also told Lin Weidong that Ning Caishen was filming a TV series written and directed by him.
From William Zhu's hearing of this information, Lin Weidong felt quite novel, and asked with interest: "What TV series is Ning Caishen filming?"
Under the introduction of William Zhu, Lin Weidong learned that it turned out that while writing on the Internet, Yu Baimei, Ning Caishen, Xing Yusen and others also found another way to plan an interesting and profitable activity.
The first 12 episodes of the script have been completed by online writers Ning Caishen, Yu Baimei, and Xing Yusen, and the last 18 episodes of the script are ready to be openly solicited on the Internet.
"I believe that once this TV series comes out, the repercussions it will cause inside and outside the network will go beyond the scope of online literature. ”
"Only if this interesting thing can be successful, it shows that online literature writing is economical, and at the same time, it can break through the scope of online literature and constitute a new economic driving force. ”
Looking at William Zhu, who was talking eloquently, Lin Weidong was also curious, so he said to William Zhu: "Mr. Zhu, I want to visit the crew, is it okay?"
William Zhu smiled and nodded: "Of course you can." ”
"However, I still have some work to deal with today, so I won't accompany you over, I'll let Xiao Chen send you. ”
"Okay, thank you Mr. Zhu. ”
"City Watchman" is a script written by Ning Caishen and others, which tells the story of a singer who keeps trying hard and failing but persevering in order to pursue success.
The crew was filming in a small civilian community near the banyan tree, and when Lin Weidong arrived, Ning Caishen was sitting behind the camera, directing the filming of a scene.
Lin Weidong took a look, except for Ning Caishen, who directed and acted and wrote himself, none of the crew he knew, whether it was an actor or a staff member.
To be honest, Lin Weidong was a little disappointed, he couldn't trust the crew of "City Watcher" at all.
Because of the crew of "City Watcher", even a slightly famous actor can't afford to be hired, and the acting skills look exaggerated and contrived, the TV series made by such a lineup is estimated to be given to TV stations for free, and no TV station is willing to broadcast it.
After filming a scene, Ning Caishen saw Lin Weidong who was watching from the side, and also walked over and greeted him with a smile: "Lonely City, don't you have to attend classes in your school? Why are you free to come to Shanghai?"
"I asked for leave to come to Shanghai, come here to do something, you ...... What are you doing??" Lin Weidong said, handing a Chinese cigarette to Ning Caishen.
Ning Caishen smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "Professional fart, I have never learned, how can I learn as a director, as long as everyone is a director, if you are interested, you can also be a director." ”
Saying that, Ning Caishen took the cigarette, looked Lin Weidong up and down, and then said: "Lonely City, I think you don't look bad, are you interested in playing a cameo role in my play?"
Lin Weidong asked incredulously: I, I haven't studied acting, how can I act?"
Ning Caishen said: "It's okay, I can guide you." ”
Lin Weidong hurriedly waved his hand: "I can't." ”
"I said you can do it, you can do it. Ning Caishen said, and gave Lin Weidong a script, "Your play is just one game, you quickly memorize the lines, although there are not a few sentences, but live radio, your speech must be clear, don't stare at the camera, your expression is natural." ”
Subsequently, after Lin Weidong read the script, he participated in the filming of "City Watcher" according to the guidance of Ning Caishen.
So, Lin Weidong was so confused, and made his screen debut in the crew of Ning Caishen's "City Watcher".
Although Lin Weidong plays the role of a nameless passer-by, he has a few lines, which is worth the trip.
After the crew finished work, Ning Caishen invited Lin Weidong to a high-end club for a massage.
Lin Weidong originally refused, but Ning Caishen was really gracious.
"Is it a regular massage?" Lin Weidong asked Ning Caishen.
Ning Caishen looked at Lin Weidong with eyes like a neuropath: "Of course it's regular, what do you think of me Ning Caishen." ”
Lin Weidong saw that Ning Caishen was a little angry, and hurriedly apologized to Ning Caishen.
The massage ladies in the club are not bad, Lin Weidong follows the local customs, and Ning Caishen chooses one, and thinks he is the most beautiful to give himself a massage.
However, Lin Weidong was not interested in these massage ladies, and always felt that they had a smell of wind and dust, so he didn't talk to them much.
After five minutes, Lin Weidong was lying on the massage chair, enjoying the massage lady's wave push on his back, and asked Ning Caishen: "God of Wealth, didn't you say that this is a regular massage shop?"
"Yes. , it's a regular massage shop" Ning Caishen nodded, then turned around and looked at Lin Weidong: "Do you think that the methods here are not formal?"
Lin Weidong suddenly had a feeling of being deceived, and for a while, he didn't know what to say, but sighed silently, and then asked: "By the way, God of Wealth, why is your pen name called Ning God of Wealth?"
Ning Caishen said angrily: "Hey, don't mention it, I originally wanted to call it 'Ning Caichen', because there is an ID in the chat room called 'Nie Xiaoqian', but I didn't expect 'Ning Caichen' to be preemptively registered." ”
"Later, I considered that 'Ning Caichen' in your Cantonese is homophonic to 'Ning Caishen', so I had this screen name. ”
