Chapter 21 The Three-Body Problem
6 p.m., Writing Zone, Dream Cafe.
As evening fell, the café was crowded.
Lu Changming came alone and soon found Jiang Dong in his old position.
Jiang Dong was much calmer at this time, and was drinking coffee comfortably.
Seeing Lu Changming coming, he hurriedly got up and greeted: "Mr. Changming, you are here." ”
While saying this, he was still looking behind Lu Changming, wanting to confirm that Lin Weixi had not come.
Seeing that there was no one behind Lu Changming, Jiang Dong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked Lu Changming to sit down: "Mr. Changming, I have discussed it with the editor-in-chief......
"Wait a minute, the long night hasn't come yet. Lu Changming is not in a hurry.
Jiang Dong's old face froze, and he sighed secretly, sure enough, he still couldn't hide.
Two minutes later, Lin Weixi pinched the point.
She actually took a bath, dressed in a fragrant dress, and wore a blue skirt, and her hairstyle became a single ponytail, full of girlish atmosphere.
Lu Changming's eyes lit up, this literary girl is really good-looking, she will be fascinated by just changing her look, she is the middle sister of the real sister.
Jiang Dong was obviously also amazed, and looked at it a few more times before greeting: "Miss Weixi, you are here." ”
"Well, please be seated. Lin Weixi was plain and sat next to Lu Changming, with his legs together, his skirt loosely clinging to his thighs.
"This is a new contract. Jiang Dong took out the document and put it on the table, motioning for Lin Weixi to check it.
Lin Weixi looked at Lu Changming: "You can look at it first." ”
"It's okay, you see, I don't understand. Lu Changming smiled brightly.
Lin Weixi's eyelashes blinked slightly, and he withdrew his gaze to look at the contract.
After a moment, she nodded: "The royalty system is very good, and the first printing of 300,000 copies is considerable. However, if the sales volume of "The Three-Body Problem" exceeds 300,000 copies, your company should not find an excuse to delay royalties. ”
"Of course not, we are on the right track!" Jiang Dong solemnly emphasized, "Even if "The Three-Body Problem" sells one million copies, we will give 10% of the royalty, 3.9 yuan per volume!"
"Lu Changming, do you have any opinions?" Lin Weixi already agreed, but he had to ask the author's opinion.
Lu Changming actually didn't care about how much money could be made from physical copyright, he said: "I have no opinion on royalty contracts, but I hope to cooperate in adaptation and film and television copyrights in the future." ”
"Yes, let's make a lot of money first, don't worry. Jiang Dong smiled, in a good mood.
The signing of the royalty contract is also a great joy, and it is not a loss.
The three of them were determined, and Lu Changming signed his name with a stroke of his pen.
"Happy cooperation!" Jiang Dong shook hands and left happily.
Lin Weixi stroked the hair in his ears and looked sideways at Lu Changming: "300,000 copies, royalties of 1.17 million, much less than what I wanted before." ”
"I think "The Three-Body Problem" should sell millions of copies and sell well all over the world, so it is actually the publisher who loses money. Lu Changming was very confident, grabbed the coffee cup and touched Lin Weixi's cup.
Lin Weixi was stunned, a million copies? What an arrogant man.
"It's almost impossible for a physical book to sell millions of copies, but electronic sales should continue to skyrocket, after all, you Lu Changming can attract a large circle of fans with your face. Lin Weixi seemed to smile, not knowing what he was hinting at.
"Why do you say that?"
"You're all over the science fiction world forums, and I think your female book fans will skyrocket. Lin Weixi got up, "Let's go and talk to you." ”
Hmm? Lin Weixi is a lot more enthusiastic this time.
Lu Changming went out with her, and the two bypassed the commercial street in the writing area and walked into a deserted ancient street.
This is also an old residential area, and it is very cold everywhere, with only a ray of evening sun shining in, providing a hint of residual warmth.
"Look at the front, that's the former office of the Dongyang Writers Association. Lin Weixi pointed to an old building in front of him.
There was a roller shutter on the first floor of that building, which had already been locked.
"It's been a few years since the Writers' Association moved out, but I like it a lot, it's quiet. Lin Weixi sighed.
Lu Changming was a little confused: "Why are you telling me this?"
"I want you to join the Writers' Association in this city, we have a group of like-minded pen pals, and the owner of the Science Fiction World Forum used to be a member of the Dongyang Writers' Association, and now he has gone to the capital. Lin Weixi explained at a glance, "You are so talented, and you have unlimited prospects in the future." ”
Does this mean to further your education?
Lin Weixi is a person who cherishes talents.
It's a pity that my first choice is not to be a writer, just like some people like breasts and some like butts, always prioritize.
Lu Changming shook his head: "Classmate Lin, I'm sorry, writing books is just my hobby, and my dream is to be a great director." To be honest, I don't plan to rely on "The Three-Body Problem" to soar, my focus is on the script. ”
I'm just an ordinary film and television person.
Lin Weixi frowned slightly, and looked at Lu Changming with a slightly raised face: "It's just a hobby? Do you know how much shock "The Three-Body Problem" has caused in the science fiction circle? You should cherish this talent." ”
Lin Weixi's tone was a little anxious, as if he hated iron and steel.
"But I really don't want to write a book. Lu Changming spread his hands, and he was tormented for a year by himself for the script, but he was harassed by the charter wife for a year.
Now that there is "It's All Good", how can you jump ship and become a writer?
I'll love the ass forever!
Lin Weixi opened his mouth, then lowered his head to think, and finally stared at Lu Changming with strange eyes with a frown: "If you become a director, you will enter the filthy entertainment industry, your mind will be eroded, your talent will be lost, and finally you will even fall into the wine pond meat forest." ”
And this kind of good thing?
Lu Changming coughed: "Don't worry, I will keep my heart." ”
"You don't understand, the entertainment industry is chaotic, the script you write is so good, and the people are good-looking, you will become fragrant and gluttonous, and you will fall into the whirlpool. Lin Weixi was serious and serious.
She is the daughter of a famous director, and she has heard a little about the entertainment industry, and Lin Yimou has warned her since she was a child not to get involved in the entertainment industry.
Now Lu Changming is about to enter the film and television industry with "It's All Good", and half of his feet have stepped into the entertainment industry.
The sound of the warbler and the swallow are just in front of you, you Lu Changming is young, how can you keep your heart? In the end, you just become a wild bee and a butterfly.
"Classmate Lin, I understand what you mean, I can't hide it, I have seen the darkness of the entertainment industry in the year I have been a group performer in Hengdian. There were female directors who wanted to sleep with me, and there were actresses who hinted at me, but I carried them all. Lu Changming said righteously, "Why can I resist? It's because I have righteousness! I have talent! I, Lu Changming, will never fall!"
Lin Weixi was stunned for a moment, looked at Lu Changming in a daze, and for some reason looked at his righteous appearance, and felt even more handsome.
"Ding, Lin Weixi thinks you're handsome, and the male god is worth +3."
Lu Changming squinted and peeked, secretly happy, pretending to be forced in front of a beautiful girl is more or less cool.
As for whether to fall or not, the question is simple.
If it is Director Wang, who is in his fifties, pounces on him, he will never fall!
If it is a movie queen in her twenties, she will never fall!
