"Write a novel?" Xu Zhi repeated with a frown.

Shen Baoxin nodded and said, "Yes, almost a million words is good, as for the manuscript fee, it is definitely not a problem." ”

Xu Zhi shook his head with a smile and said: "I don't have time recently, besides, as a shareholder of Jiahe Daily, I help competitors write novels, and I can't explain it to Zou Wenhuai!"

Shen Baoxin asked, "The contract between Xu Sheng and Zou Wenhuai will not have this restriction, right?"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said, "That's not true. ”

Shen Baoxin said with a smile: "Xu Sheng's novel is well written, but this has to be further improved." Doing business in this society, as long as it is not illegal and does not violate the contract, then there is no right or wrong.

Everyone is here to make money, and because Zou Wenhuai has invested in you, you have to think about everything for him, right? Because others are a little good to you, you want to share everything you have good with him, and this is one of the most immature manifestations. ”

Xu Zhi thought for a while, nodded and said, "It makes sense, but I'm also a shareholder of Golden Harvest Daily, so it's still not right to write a novel to you." ”

Shen Baoxin shook his head and said: "No matter how good the novel is, there must be a channel, our Ming Pao is not famous in the whole Southeast Asia, if Xu Sheng's novel is serialized in our Ming Pao, it will also be very effective in promoting your fame, after becoming famous, your Kunlun or future novels will also be very famous, and the publicity of Jiahe Daily is also a good thing, isn't it?"

Xu Zhi smiled: "Director Shen is really good at negotiating, I'm a little moved, but it's unlikely that I'll write novels anymore recently." ”

Shen Baoxin asked: "Because of the movie?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Not bad." And writing a novel is too time-consuming, and I don't have that much energy. ”

Shen Baoxin frowned and said, "I wonder if Xu Sheng has heard of the survivor effect?"

Xu Zhi thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Shen Baoxin said: "During World War II, the wings of British planes were all holes, so the air force officers at that time decided to strengthen the defense. However, the wings of the aircraft involved the balance of airflow, and the addition of protective plates would also increase the weight of the aircraft and affect the balance, so the officer went to consult a professor of flight.

When the professor found out about the situation, he asked: 'Why are you strengthening the wings?'

The officer said, 'Because there are holes in the wings?'

The professor laughed and said, "But even though the wings are full of holes, the planes have all successfully returned, so what should you think about is what happened to the planes that didn't come back?"

Xu Zhidao: "Other parts should be strengthened, not the wings that are full of holes." ”

"Yes, in fact, people nowadays are the same, only seeing the surface of the light, and ignoring the back of a problem. Shen Baoxin said with a smile: "I don't know much about the specific situation of movies, but I know that many people have serious losses when they enter this field, but most people only see Li Xiaolong's success and think that movies are very profitable, but they don't see how many losers are actually bankrupt behind the success."

Xu Sheng can stop in moderation, and create novels with peace of mind, not only will he get income, but also the harvest of fame in the future will have greater benefits. ”

Xu Zhi nodded and smiled: "I understand, this time it's just a test of the waters, as for the novel, it's unlikely that I will write it again, but I have a few detailed outlines, according to the outline, you can arrange for the writer to write the novel, but the copyright of the novel must belong to me, and Ming Pao can have the right to serialize." Also, I need Ming Pao to help me do something. ”

Shen Baoxin frowned and said, "Is it just an outline?"

Xu Zhidao: "Yes, some of the outline will tell you, but the details will be discussed after the contract is signed." ”

"The matter of the outline will be confirmed by the student. Shen Baoxin asked again: "Then what is the other thing?"

Xu Zhidao: "I want Ming Pao's homepage ad on any day in the future, I believe Ming Pao should have a way to solve it!"

Shen Baoxin paused and asked, "Do you want to promote the movie?"

Xu Zhidao: "Yes." ”

It is a common means of publicity to promote movies in newspapers, but the front page of top newspapers like Ming Pao Oriental is extremely expensive, and it is generally the favorite of local real estate or daily necessities companies, and few small film companies are willing to invest in it.

Shen Baoxin said: "I can try, let people contact the advertiser these days, according to our contract, the breach of contract will pay 3 times the price, this money has to be paid by you, and if the customer does not agree, we will not force the breach of contract, so there is no commitment." ”

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Okay, yes, then we will decide, Kunlun copyright to Ming Pao, I have to pay 300,000 manuscript fees, and I will get it immediately, but if Ming Pao can't get the advertising space on the homepage, the matter of the novel will be stopped in the future." ”

Shen Baoxin frowned and said, "Then if you have fulfilled all your requirements, then when will the outline of the novel be shown to us, we have to set a time, right?"

Xu Zhidao: "Then if I say a time, can Ming Pao promise to put my novel in Ming Pao Daily to be serialized?"

Shen Baoxin thought for a while and said, "This point has to be determined by Lao Cha, but we can prepare the contract first." ”

Naturally, there will be a lawyer to sort out the contract, and now the two of them just reached a verbal agreement, and after Shen Baoxin sorted out the approximate agreements, he gave the documents to the secretary and asked him to send them to the legal department.

Then, the two chatted casually for a while, and the office door suddenly opened, and a familiar face walked in, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

Shen Baoxin said with a smile: "Lao Cha, it's not too late, Xu Sheng and I have just discussed cooperation?"

Xu Zhi stood up and shook hands and said, "Hello, Cha Sheng." ”

After shaking his hand, Kim smiled and motioned for Xu Zhi to sit down, saying, "I don't know how Xu Sheng wants to cooperate with us Ming Pao." ”

Shen Baoxin smiled: "Let me tell you." ”

The plot of the cooperation is relatively simple, and after a while, Kim Yong Yong said after listening: "I don't know if Xu Sheng has thought about what kind of story to write next." ”

Xu Zhidao: "I have two story themes here, one is to tell the story of the Ming Dynasty, mainly to tell the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the two powers of the imperial court were separated, one side is the force headed by Dongchang, they are ambitious, ruthless and ferocious, conspiracy to usurp the throne, and cruel Zhongliang, and the other side is another big force formed by the emperor's own uncle to protect the dragon villa, which has the four secret agents of heaven and earth Xuanhuang, and it will also involve the Central Plains martial arts, Dongying masters, I don't know what Cha Sheng thinks?"

Kim Yong Kim thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "This is not in line with history, and it is impossible for the prince of the Ming Dynasty to have real power." ”

"......" Xu Zhi secretly complained: "It seems that your book is very historical!"

After thinking about it, Kim Yong smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I care too much about history, if you ignore this, the subject matter is indeed okay, the relationship between the ancient imperial court and the martial arts has always been difficult to deal with, so if Xu Sheng wants to write like this, the reasonableness is very important." ”

Xu Zhi nodded and said, "Understood." ”

No. 1 in the world, this is almost the most wonderful martial arts drama after the 21st century.

There is no fairy after the fairy sword, and there is no martial arts after the world.

may be an exaggeration, but after entering the 10s, there are almost no good building trees in martial arts dramas except for remakes. As for the special effects, the 13th version of Xiaoao Jianghu is still good, and the others are fighting horses, which are terrifying.

Kim Yong nodded, the other party just said a setting, naturally there was nothing to ask, so he said, "What about the other one?"

Xu Zhidao: "The other book is not martial arts, but taken from the story of the Chinese ghost story in Liaozhai, I plan to write a costume magic romance novel, the main setting is to Xuanxin Authentic Sect-based righteous people, in order to stop the head of the Demon Sect Yin Moon Dynasty of the seven resentful couples, when the heavenly demons rush the seven evils, ......."

Xu Zhi slowly explained the setting in the later A Chinese Ghost Story TV series, but it was only the first half, and it was not very detailed, but Kim Yong and Shen Baoxin were very interested and asked a lot of questions, although they were still very curious, but after all, they hadn't read the novel, and many questions couldn't be asked.

Speaking of Chen Shisan, no one may know who it is, but when it comes to his wife, many post-80s generations must be familiar with it: Ma Xiaoling's actor, the long-legged goddess.

Chen 13 is the most famous ghost screenwriter in Xiangjiang, and his creation of I Have a Date with a Zombie and the 03 version of A Chinese Ghost Story are classics in the history of Xiangjiang TV.

Xu Zhi also likes these two TV series in later generations, but now he is not able to shoot TV series, and if he writes novels, he does not have this writing, and now he uses the idea of attracting Ming Pao, and then finds a way to find a writer in the future, not only to get Ming Pao's help now, but also to get fame and subsequent copyright, killing three birds with one stone.

After taking a sip of strong tea, Kim Yong smiled and said, "It's better to do this, Xu Sheng can put this Chinese Ghost Story in our Ming Pao serialization, I am very interested in this novel." ”

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Cha Sheng, rest assured, as long as we cooperate, when I improve the outline, I will definitely cooperate with Ming Pao." ”

Kim looked at the time and said, "Okay, then why don't we eat together at noon?"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said, "No, I made an appointment with someone else, and I will leave later." ”

Shen Baoxin said: "Xu Sheng, can you wait?" After saying that, he got up and went out to say a few words to the secretary.

After coming back, he said: "The legal department has prepared the contract, and if Xu Sheng has no other problems, we can sign the contract." ”

Xu Zhi smiled: "Okay." ”
