Chapter 67: The Ugly Duckling
Everyone looked over, and the person who spoke turned out to be ...... Jiang Ming!
Jiang Ming sat on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, and drank tea gracefully.
Meow Meow tugged at Jiang Ming's sleeve with her hand and gave him a look.
Don't talk nonsense.
That's the son of the Tang Sect!
The fairy tale king Huang Hu didn't get angry but laughed: "Oh, do you think it's easy, or do you think it's easy?"
Meow Meow said: "Jiang Haida, you may not know that fairy tales should not only be simple and easy to write for children to understand, but also have a meaning, which is not so easy to write." ”
Moreover, the audience of fairy tales is very small, and many publishing houses do not accept fairy tales.
When Nancheng Publishing House was first established, it was willing to accept any book, and as a result, it received Huang Hu's works.
Who knew that Huang Hu had provoked a son of the Tang Sect!
Jiang Ming said lightly: "I have read Mr. Huang Hu's fairy tale collection, and I think the price given by Nancheng Publishing House is very reasonable, and it may be too high!"
Huang Hu was so angry that his nose was about to smoke!
What does this kid say?
So arrogant?
Huang Hu patted his sleeve angrily and said, "Ignorant children, don't be arrogant! you must apologize to me for what you just said......
Tang Lang's eyes were cold, staring at Jiang Ming and said, "Apologize, otherwise I don't think you will be able to leave Asakawa City." ”
Tang Lang was not angry, and a cold aura spread out around him, frightening Tian Fei'er and them as if they were sitting in an ice cave.
The editor-in-chief was so frightened that his teeth were fighting!
Jiang Ming smiled in a low voice, picked up the pen just now, found a clean A4 paper and wrote.
Huang Hu raised his eyebrows: "What do you write?"
Tian Fei'er sat beside Jiang Ming and saw every word Jiang Ming wrote very clearly.
What kind of apology letter?
What is he writing about?
Tian Fei'er was very anxious, obviously she had reminded Jiang Ming before, don't offend people in Asakawa City, but she didn't offend the gangsters in Asakawa City, but she offended the biggest person?
Karamon in Asakawa City!
Huang Hu leaned in and wanted to see it.
Meowth suddenly shouted, "Don't ...... Don't bother him. ”
Huang Hu and Tang Lang were a little surprised in their hearts, should they be quiet when they write an apology letter?
Tang Lang waited for a while, a little impatient, and wanted to order the editor-in-chief, but suddenly Jiang Ming stopped.
"Fairy tales, it's not difficult. ”
Only then did everyone react.
What kind of apology letter did Jiang Ming write just now? He was creating fairy tales on the spot!
Huang Hu didn't even look at it, and laughed: "Do you really think that you can write fairy tales by yourself? Do you think you are a genius?"
Jiang Ming nodded solemnly: "Well, I really think I'm a genius!"
Huang Hu laughed so much that tears were about to come out.
"The farms in the countryside are piled up with golden wheat. A female duck sat in the nest with a few duck eggs beside her...... "Tang Lang took the A4 paper and read it.
Jiang Ming leaned to the side, his expression indifferent.
This is the famous "The Ugly Duckling" in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, which Jiang Ming is familiar with.
The story of "The Ugly Duckling" should be known to everyone in the previous life, right?
After Jiang Ming studied "Elementary Language", his writing improved a lot, and it was very easy to write it by himself.
However, the original text of "The Ugly Duckling" is very long, and Jiang Ming simply wrote it and explained the content of the story.
"Look, this new swan is so beautiful...... The ugly duckling flapped its wings and swam around in the pool. Little did they know that it had once been just an ugly duckling, and they never dreamed it would be so happy. ”
Tang Lang finished reading the last sentence.
Meow Meow was the first to applaud, Meow Meow's eyes were full of little stars, staring at Jiang Ming and asking, "It's so well written, it turns out that an ugly duckling can also become a swan." Mr. Jiang Ming, do you want to tell the children that they don't care about their background, and through their own efforts, they will eventually succeed and become a beautiful white swan?"
Jiang Ming nodded deeply: "As you think." ”
, Andersen didn't think so much when he wrote it, just to coax the child.
The so-called allegories are added by the reader.
But as the saying goes, there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand readers.
Jiang Ming was very satisfied with their interpretation.
Jiang Ming looked at the shocked Huang Hu and asked with a smile: "Mr. Huang Hu, my royalties are higher than yours, do you still have any opinions?"
Huang Hu's face was pale, his eyes widened and the boss stared at Jiang Ming.
How can it be?
"The Ugly Duckling" was written on the spot?
Doesn't this person even need to think about it?
Huang Hu has to say that this is much more interesting than what he wrote......
Tian Fei'er came back to her senses from the shock and looked at Jiang Ming with a smile: "I didn't expect my boss to be so talented." ”
Tang Lang applauded: "It's really well written! Mr. Jiang Ming, if you don't write this specifically, I'll give you the money, and you write it for me." ”
Jiang Ming just smiled and signed the contract with Nancheng Publishing House first.
Huang Hu looked at Tang Lang and asked carefully, "...... Tang Gongzi"
Tang Lang held "The Ugly Duckling" written by Jiang Ming and couldn't put it down.
He said impatiently: "If you have Mr. Jiang Ming's level of writing well, I will help you." If you can't, get out!"
Huang Hu's face was full of embarrassment, he glared at Jiang Ming fiercely with some resentment, and turned around to leave angrily.
A glimmer of light flashed in Tian Fei'er's eyes, and she whispered in Jiang Ming's ear: "Literati are light. Boss, you have to pay attention to this fairy tale king Huang Hu asking you for trouble these days. ”
Tian Fei'er has seen the vicious things done by literati, but they are more terrible than coming up directly to fight.
Jiang Ming just smiled, with his own thoughts in his heart.
After signing the contract, Jiang Ming and Tian Fei'er left Nancheng Publishing House.
Before leaving, the editor-in-chief almost cried thanks to Jiang Ming, if it weren't for Jiang Ming, Tang Gongzi would have been able to upset their publishing house.
After walking out, Tang Lang suddenly caught up: "Mr. Jiang Ming, it's better for me to be the east, invite the two of you to have a meal." ”
Jiang Ming glanced at "The Ugly Duckling" in Tang Lang's hand, and understood a little in his heart.
"Okay. ”
Tang Lang was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and took Jiang Ming and Tian Fei'er to a four-star restaurant in Asakawa City, and sat down against the glass window.
Tang Lang sat down and said directly: "Mr. Jiang Ming, can you give me this "Ugly Duckling"? I'll go back and read it to my sister." ”
Without waiting for Jiang Ming to speak, Tang Lang continued: "Mr. Jiang, why don't you write it for me, and I'll give you money." My sister likes to listen to fairy tales, but there are few fairy tales on the market, which makes me miserable. You must help me!"
Tian Fei'er pushed Jiang Ming's elbow and signaled that it was best for him to make friends with this son-in-law.
If you come to Asakawa City, it will be much more convenient for Jiangming.
As the saying goes, there are friends who travel all over the world.
Jiang Ming smiled: "Yes, this "Ugly Duckling" will be given to Ling Mei." ”
When Tang Lang heard this, a look of gratitude appeared on his handsome face.
Tang Lang said that he was the son of the Tang Sect, but in fact, few people in the Tang family looked up to him.
His parents died early, and he took his sister Tang Ying alone to survive in Tangmen. The sister he cared about the most was only four years old, and she was slapped hard by his cousin Tang Cheng. From then on, Tang Ying never spoke again.
Tang Lang loves his sister and knows that Tang Ying likes fairy tales, so he looks around for authors who write fairy tales. Yellow Tiger is one of them.
Tang Lang carefully accepted the manuscript of "The Ugly Duckling" written by Jiang Ming and asked, "Mr. Jiang, have you ever thought about writing fairy tales? You write me one every week, and I will give it to you...... How about 100,000? I don't want any copyright, I'm just telling my sister. ”
Tian Fei'er on the side was shocked, so much money?
Jiang Ming looked at Tang Lang and seemed to hesitate.
Tang Lang looked at it and hurriedly said, "Mr. Jiang, you can also make a request." ”
Jiang Ming pondered for a moment and smiled meaningfully: "I heard that the Tang Sect is the best at poisons and talismans. How about you give me a few more talismans?"
When Tang Lang heard this, he suddenly retracted his expression and looked at Jiang Ming vigilantly.
When he entered the Nancheng Publishing House just now, he didn't feel that this person was a cultivator at all, right?
Not a fellow practitioner, how did Jiang Ming know that their Tang family was the best at poisons and talismans?
Outsiders think that the Tang family in Asakawa City is a wealthy family that cannot be provoked, and the rich people who run a company at home.
How do you think that way?
Unless...... The person in front of him is an ancient warrior!
Jiang Ming watched the restaurant start to serve, he picked up the chopsticks and tasted it: "This dish in Asakawa City is not bad." ”
Tang Lang asked tentatively: "What kind of talisman does Mr. Jiang Ming want......?
Jiang Ming smiled and said, "I want to write something that I haven't written." ”
Tang Lang was shocked: "!!"
Really a fellow traveler!
