Chapter 256: A Million Gifts from the Winemaker

Early the next morning, inside a villa on the Upper West Side.

Wang gradually finished the breakfast prepared by the three Hispanic maids.

On the one hand, it is because these maids deliberately learned the practice of Chinese food in order to please their new masters.

On the other hand, Wang gradually does not want to go to the office and face his readers.

After all, he is also a well-known best-selling author in the United States, and he still has a certain idol baggage.

Thinking about the rest of the works except "I Am the Archmage", the rest of the works are either weird, novel, or shocking story cores, and then look at "I'm Too Rich"...

"How do you feel, suddenly from an Oscar winner, to a king of bad movies. ”

"Mr. Wang, what do you need to prepare for dinner?" asked the chief maid, who had just received her salary, in a flattering tone.

"Feel free. Wang gradually wiped the corners of his mouth and stood up.

After that, he hesitated out of the villa and went to the office building in Flushing.

Looking at the reluctant back of the master, the maid leader frowned.

In her mind, she instantly recalled the pink incident between the master and the maid that the maids in the community often talked about when they chatted.

When everyone talks about a maid who has traded her body for a job, a green card, or even up to half a million dollars in cash, most of the maids will have a look of envy on their faces.

His owner is a young, single, rich man, and the most important problem is that he is still a writer!

Don't... Also has a chance?

She looked at her hand, which was a good pay, and thought of her compatriots who had become homeless warblers because she had never been able to find a job because her labor license had expired.

"Like, it's a good choice!"

Can... I am 25 years old and still have a husband in Venezuela.

Therefore, he should not be obsessed with himself.

She sighed a little regretfully, and after thinking for a while, she called the other two maids, who were about 20 years old and unmarried, to her side and looked at them carefully.

Well, the height and legs are long, and the appearance is not bad.

"Shouldn't we be like other maids and customize a few sets of black and white apron uniforms?" the chief maid asked the two subordinates intimately.

The two young maids were a little flattered for a while, and the traditional maid dress in a black and white dress was not too much compared to other maids in the community.

So, after hesitating for a moment, he nodded and agreed.

Wang gradually did not know that he was misunderstood by his maids because of the reputation of the writers.

At the moment, he is sitting in the back seat of the car, turning on the computer and doing mental construction for a while.

"Anyway, you have to die sooner or later," Wang gradually gritted his teeth and said to himself, "Love is as good as it is!"

At this time, the classic Nokia mobile phone ringtone of "Didi" came.

He took a look and saw that the caller was Wozniak.

Belch...

This big guy is willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to support the author's big guy for the sake of a book.

He's not going to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars to organize a group of people downstairs in Flushing to protest because of a particularly bad work, right?

Wang gradually thought about the scene on TV where a politician was smashed with rotten eggs because he attended a political rally.

These billionaires who take money not for money are really a headache!

"Wang, was the inspiration for your new work a conversation in a Silicon Valley hotel?" Wozniak's voice came without pause.

"Do you want to use this work that depicts the temptation faced by our so-called 'tech elites' to warn us not to forget our original intentions?"

what?

Wang gradually held the phone in front of his eyes and was stunned for a long time.

How did he see the flavor of realistic criticism in his purely conjectural works?

Belch...

Wang gradually turned on the horsepower of his brain, and finally barely kept up with the other party's brain circuit.

Under the tide of the Internet, the rapidly expanding wealth of the scientific and technological elite is probably... Similar to the financial situation of the protagonist of "I'm Too Rich"?

"Damn, no wonder someone else is playing a game with a controller, and you're editing the game with a controller!"

But...

If you understand it this way, this big guy shouldn't organize people to protest?

"There's... A certain relationship. The king gritted his teeth and said with a clear conscience.

"Ha, I knew it!" Wozniak's voice was full of smugness, "and some people say that you plagiarized 'The Winemaker's Million Gift.'" ”

"A few of us have made a small program and have already besieged those people on Twitter. ”

Plagiarize?

Wang gradually changed from crying and laughing, and instantly became serious.

If there is money, it will only reduce the perception of middle and low-level writers, and thus affect the development.

Then plagiarism is the "Achilles' heel" of the invulnerable writer's character!

Wang gradually hung up the phone perfunctorily, motioned to the driver to speed up, and dialed Tom again.

"Now, go and find me a copy of "A Million Gifts for Winemakers" and related background information. ”

After Tom agreed, Wang gradually could not calm down.

If the plagiarism is true, then your own trouble is really big!

Half an hour later, he ran into the office quickly.

"Wang, this is The Winemaker's Million Gift. Tom handed over a thin booklet, "Is there anything wrong with this book?"

Wang gradually did not answer, but took it and immediately looked at it.

I saw that the setting of the book is not in Chicago, but in Wisconsin.

It is not in modern times, but in the early 20th century.

But...

This work, like "I'm Too Rich", takes a certain amount of money as the main line of the story.

it!

Wang gradually pressed his head fiercely, and regretted it very much in his heart.

I picked out the most reasonable will from those unreasonable "system" money.

"But the author of this one, isn't there a sense of copyright?"

Damn, you won't completely ruin your own future on this "literary garbage"-like work, right?

"Tom, is this widely circulated, and has it ever been adapted into a film or television work?"

"Influenced by the serious and deep atmosphere of the literary world at the time, this overly alternative work did not have a wide influence. ”

However, it has been adapted into several film and television works, although the box office is not very high. ”

"Immediately ask Matthew to contact the descendants of the original author and try to get the authorization to adapt the work. ”

Wang gradually thought for a moment, and added, "A million dollars is acceptable!"

......

"Hah," the legendary journalist Wood laughed out loud as he looked at the computer.

Sure enough, a young man who hadn't even studied in a community college would not have been able to discover such a book, which has been ignored by many well-known writers.

He picked up the phone and dialed NBC's lawyer.

"Go to Wisconsin right away, and I'll send you the exact address. ”

"Tell them not to reconcile!"

"In terms of attorney fees, Simon?? Schuster will pay for them. ”
