Chapter 828: Dungeons & Dragons

"Editor Gu, have you reviewed the results out?"

Zhang Chu asked curiously, it wouldn't take so long to say in the past.

In the publishing company located on Nanhai Island, Gu Xinxue was having a headache about how to reply.

I gave the results in the afternoon, and the works submitted by Zhang Chu naturally passed!

However, at present, the companies of the two sides are negotiating the royalties of Zhang Chu's book, and Nanhai Publishing Company wants to use "In the Name of the People" as a condition to get it.

Even if it's good, it has to be said to be average.

Even if you pass the review and don't need to revise it, you have to describe it as a problem!

In fact, this is a model for buyers and sellers to reduce prices.

But Gu Xinxue is extremely conflicted in his heart, he really doesn't want the negotiation to collapse, and when the time comes, he will be completely insulated from Zhang Chu's works.

So he replied: "At present, the review results are not bad, and the evaluations given by the rest of the people are quite good, and it is estimated that it will be fine in a day or two." ”

"Okay, it's a little slow, but it's better to be careful. ”

Gu Xinxue didn't want to talk about this topic, he changed the topic and said: "I saw a video of you singing on the Internet, did you improvise and sing the poem on your own?"

"Definitely not, I've thought about it before. ”

Zhang Chu didn't ask for the result, but he wasn't too discouraged, and a few days at night was not a big deal.

He felt that the Nanhai Publishing Company should not tear his face into negotiations with his own company, so he did not think about it.

"So you can take a break and empty your brain lately. Go out on a trip or recharge your batteries or something, it's time to relax by writing so many books in a row!"

"I still have to go to school, and I want to go out, but I don't have the chance. On weekends, the attractions around Yanjing are full of people. ”

This is probably the advantage of porters, it's easier than your own original work, you don't have to rack your brains and search your stomach, so it's not as tiring as you imagined.

Gu Xinxue thought for a while and asked, "Let's talk about it in private, what type of your new book is." Don't worry, it's going to rot in my stomach. ”

Zhang Chu is still very grateful to Gu Xinxue, this editor can be said to be dedicated and will not look at the wrong person.

Anyway, he didn't plan to reveal the specific plot, just the type.

"The new book will be a fantasy route. ”

"Fantasy? Is it an oriental fantasy like "Sou Shen Ji"?" Gu Xinxue asked curiously, "Could it be that you finally found out in your conscience and are ready to write a sequel?"

Zhang Chu denied again and again: "What a sequel, there is nothing to do, don't talk nonsense!"

From beginning to end, he never publicly announced that there would be a sequel to "Sou Shen Ji", because the wild fox under the tree has never written the third part.

"If it's not a sequel, what kind of fantasy would it be?"

"It's a typical Western fantasy, with magic, swords, and its own worldview. ”

In Europe and the United States, there is no fantasy, only fantasy and science fiction, and these two are often judged together, such as the famous Nebula Award, which is an award established by the American Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association.

Although the name of "Life of Pi" has the word fantasy in it, it is not strictly a fantasy, but there are some fantasy elements.

Zhang Chu chose to write this type of work mainly to stabilize the popularity of the world!

"Life of Pi" foreshadowed, "Sherlock" opened the scene, and "The Da Vinci Code" reached its peak.

And his two new books, "Norwegian Wood" and "In the Name of the People," released this year, have not helped in terms of global popularity.

This fame is not easy to come by with the reader's eyes, if you give it up casually, it is a real tyrannical thing!

Foreign readers prefer science fiction and fantasy books, but Zhang Chu himself does not have a detailed study of science and technology and future development trends, and there is too much knowledge needed to write hard science fiction!

If he travels in the next few decades, then he can use science fiction as a shield to show his ability as a prophet.

But he wasn't, so he could write fantasy, and maybe he could even take the opportunity to become a linguist.

Not only do foreign readers like to watch fantasy, but Chinese readers are also enthusiastic about fantasy books.

So it's the result of taking care of both markets!

Gu Xinxue thought for a while and asked: "Is it a fantasy like "A Song of Ice and Fire", or is it sword and magic, princess and dragon or something, it seems that I have played similar games before, is it Dungeons and Dragons? ”

DND is the abbreviation of Dungeons & Dragons, which means that the world background is built based on the rules of the Dungeons & Dragons game.

However, what Zhang Chu wants to write is not DND, but another kind!

But he didn't correct Gu Xinxue's statement, the elements mentioned above will be presented in the new book, so let him continue to misunderstand.

When the time comes, you should understand the details of the new book.

After all, Zhang Chu hadn't given a clear idea at this time, how to write this book!

Dungeons & Dragons form a very rigorous, large, and complex system, which is an important part of modern fantasy culture, and is essentially a form of game, which was actually inspired by fantasy literature and wargame games.

Fantasy is only a very, very small branch of the cultural field, but in recent years, it has evolved into popular culture, and many fantasy movies, TV series, literary works, and game works have emerged one after another, and have received universal praise from people.

Ancient mythology, medieval chivalric literature, and Gothic are all sources of inspiration for fantasy literature.

Homer's Iliad and Odyssey are considered to be the source of fantasy!

As the name suggests, chivalric literature is a work that describes the life of knights, which is probably the martial arts of Westerners.

To this day, knights are still an element that cannot be ignored in the Chinese fantasy genre network.

What follows is not a book, but a complete, vast world.

So Zhang Chu must be busy!

After Gu Xinxue knew that Zhang Chu was going to write fantasy works, the whole person was like a reassuring pill.

Fantasy is now an important genre in the field of physical book publishing, and there are many bestsellers.

He has great expectations for Zhang Chu's new book, maybe this is another peak!

……

Now the popularity of the entire Internet is on Zhang Chu's song.

The famous music critic Er Di has always been known for his sharp words, this time he reposted Zhang Chu's video for the first time, unexpectedly did not comment on the amateur and amateur singing, but described it in one sentence: I don't know the meaning of the song when I hear it for the first time, and I am already a person in the song when I listen to it again!

Very high rating!

If you change to a singer with excellent singing skills, voice, humanistic qualities, and infectious energy to sing, maybe this is a golden song of the year.

Almost all singers in the entertainment industry have seen the rise of another ghost lyricist!

Behind every successful singer there is one or even more ace lyricists and composers.

Now it is difficult to create popular hits, but Zhang Chu has written three high-quality songs in just one year, and the content and style are different!

Chen Muyang, a singer who came out of the draft, was able to become popular again, and even really could afford the title of Little Heavenly King after singing Zhang Chu's two songs "Wukong" and "Norwegian Wood".

For singers who sing folk songs, one is hard to find!

Their popularity is based on one good song after another that touches people's hearts.

In recent years, there are very few people who are immersed in writing songs, and good songs are becoming more and more rare.

They can't follow the example of young singers to occasionally release a few songs, and most of the time they shoot commercials, magazines, and variety shows.

So this song "Once Upon a Time" has become a sweet treat!

One singer after another is moved!

Not only is the lyrics and songs good, but also their own popularity, and they can get the attention of the media and listeners without additional publicity, what a good thing?

Therefore, the mailbox and phone number announced by Nanhai Publishing Company have been occupied by people in the entertainment industry!

They have only one goal.

That's asking for songs!

Most people are contacting the copyright of the song "Once Upon a Time".

As long as you are not blind, you can see how beautiful this song is, how pleasant it is, and how touching it is!

There are also a small number of people who want to contact Zhang Chu to invite songs, and other types of songs are fine.

Even Starlight Music is busy.

As a specialized music company, Rastar Music is not only a male singer like Chen Muyang, but its male singers are estimated to be able to make up for two ball games.

Although Chen Muyang himself does not match the genre of this song, at least he has a good relationship with Zhang Chu, otherwise he would not have gotten two divine comedies.

Chen Muyang's agent Jin Ou was wearing heavy makeup, holding an electronic cigarette in his hand, and sat on the sofa: "My little ancestor, this time the company leader has spoken, let's find a way to give "Once Upon a Time" to Zhou Tianwang as the first bomb of return." Although Zhou Tianwang has not released a new album for three or four years, his tour is full, and his popularity and heritage are still there. As long as you open your mouth to tell Zhang Chu about this, the company is willing to let you cooperate with Zhou Tianwang on a song, which is a great improvement for you!"

"Sister Jin, are you stupid to death if you smoke too much?" Chen Muyang rarely said in such a heavy tone, "I relied on my own cheekiness to pull out two songs from Zhang Chu's side. If you ask me to give favors to others, then if Zhang Chu comes out with a song again, how can I still have the face to ask for it?"

"This is a good opportunity! Zhou Tianwang's new album has your song in it, you just need to mention it, and the specific matter will be handled by the company. ”

Jin Ou was not willing to miss this opportunity, even if she knew that after Zhou Tianwang returned, the company's resources would definitely focus on him.

Chen Muyang refused to let go, "I don't care what you do, I won't open this mouth anyway." ”

"You kid. Cooperation with Zhou Tianwang is not something that can be encountered every day, why is he so ignorant!"

Jin Ou couldn't help Chen Muyang, so he simply took out his mobile phone, and then called Ye Shumei.

Feng Shui takes turns, before Ye Shumei came to Xinghui Music's office building with the song "Wukong" to spend money to ask for help, but now she has to pack up her emotions and call to discuss the matter of "Once Upon a Time".

Jin Ou has been in the entertainment industry for so long, and he has already seen through the doorways inside, but he still can't stand it when he puts it on himself.

But what made her even more unbearable was that the phone couldn't be connected at all, and the other party was on the phone!

Dial once is this reminder, dial twice is still this reminder!

"You think she's going to block me, right?" said Jin Ou with a frown, "Lend me your phone to call." ”

This can help.

Chen Muyang handed her the mobile phone, and at the same time paid close attention to the agent's movements, if she tried to send a text message or WeChat, or call Zhang Chu, he would get the phone back as soon as possible.

Jin Ou didn't think of contacting Zhang Chu in the name of Chen Muyang, but after she entered Ye Shumei's phone, she found that the other party was still busy......

"Hey, that's kind of interesting. Why does this Xiaoye's mobile phone have so much business, and he can't even get through on the phone, who can he talk to for so long?"

Jin Ou was a little puzzled after confirming that he was not blocked, as the agent of the current red star, he didn't have so many calls a day.

The CEO of a brokerage company set up by a writer should be regarded as a small workshop, and he can't get through on the phone.

Chen Muyang guessed and said: "I guess there are many people who think the same way as you, but they were preempted by others." ”

"Once upon a time was snatched away by someone else, what are you happy about?"

"If the king sings this song that week, what am I happy about? Happy company's resources were taken away by seniors? Happy company's endorsements, activities, and good songs all let him choose first? I'm not a fool. ”

Chen Muyang is a straight man who can say whatever he wants, and he doesn't have a good impression of the return of King Zhou.

The pool of Rastar Music is so large, and the resources are limited.

It is estimated that Zhou Tianwang also doesn't want to see him become more and more popular.

These words told the truth hidden under the water, and Chen Muyang knew that he could not replace Zhou Tianwang in a short time, so he could only slowly figure it out.

If you can get Zhang Chu's help, it shouldn't be a fool's dream.

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and Chen Muyang just wants to remove the word "small" from the media title, he wants to be the king of heaven, not the little king!

Jin Ou was silent, she didn't expect Chen Muyang to dare to say such a thing!

"I see. I'll tell the company leader later that the phone can't get through, and let Zhou Tianwang's agent contact him himself. ”

Only now did she see clearly that Chen Muyang's role in taking Zhang Chu's song was much greater than singing a song with Zhou Tianwang.

So hugging Zhang Chu's thighs is the key!

Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Book Keju mobile version reading website:
