Chapter 144: What's the New Book?
Thanks to her words, Wu Cheng had to pretend to be stupid and didn't know.
However, Zhao Yazhi's worries are not without reason, which Wu Cheng does not dare to guarantee.
Moreover, if the relationship between him and Zhao Yazhi and several other women is known by Zhao Yaqian and embarrasses him in the company, it will really be embarrassing.
However, Wu Cheng couldn't help but agree to his future mother-in-law's request, and he couldn't make Zhao Yazhi embarrassed because of this matter! It was not difficult to arrange a job for his future sister-in-law.
After thinking about it, Wu Cheng said: "Otherwise, didn't I founded Fengyun Comics Company before? I think she is also innocent, and she should be able to adapt to working there." Although the company has invited someone to come back to take care of it, I can rest assured if I have my own people watching. If she wants to learn comics, it's not impossible to become a cartoonist in the future. If she is willing to work hard, the comic company will be handed over to her to take care of in the future. ”
"I'm worried that she'll mess up and get you in trouble!" Zhao Yazhi worried.
Wu Cheng's big hand rubbed her soft and boneless waist, and said with a smile: "What's there to worry about? Although you are her sister and you should take care of her, you have to give her room to grow! If you don't let her do things because you're worried that she will mess things up, then how can she grow? You're not helping her, you're destroying her!"
After a pause, he added: "Besides, relatives and friends, what are you doing with it? That is, when you are in trouble, you can use your strength to help, whether it is practical help or moral support." If you don't support her, won't she be even sadder?"
When Zhao Yazhi heard this, he couldn't help but glance at him, and said, "I know that I can't talk about you!"
Wu Cheng laughed and said, "This is called being justified to go all over the world, and I am not convinced to argue!"
Wu Cheng's smug appearance made Zhao Yazhi roll his eyes frequently, the two laughed for a while, and Wu Cheng said: "I'm going to get a toy branch here in Xiangjiang, if the big brothers and sisters are not satisfied with their current work, it's better to let them help me manage it! I'll give them 20% of the shares." ”
When Zhao Yazhi heard this, she couldn't help but fall silent and looked at Wu Cheng quietly. She knew that Wu Cheng's decision must have been made for the sake of her face, which made her hesitate a little.
She didn't want people to think that she meant to be with him because she liked his money, which was a bad feeling. Zhao Yazhi is also relatively pure in terms of feelings, and she doesn't like to mix other things with it. But Wu Cheng is good to her parents and family, and she can't refuse.
Seeing her hesitation, Wu Cheng held her pretty face, gently pecked her lips, and said softly: "I know what you're worried about, in fact, with the relationship between us, you don't need to care about those things at all, I know you, and you know me." You are the person I love, and your family is also my family, shouldn't I do something for them?"
After a pause, he added: "Moreover, I am just providing them with a chance, whether they can seize this opportunity depends on their own ability." ”
"I'm worried that they won't be able to do it, and I'm afraid they won't know how to cherish it!" Zhao Yazhi said softly.
Wu Cheng smiled and said: "If you don't let them try, how can you know that it won't work? Besides, if I open a company, I must also hire someone to manage it, rather than find a person who doesn't know the roots, it is better to let my own people take care of it? Of course, if they themselves are not capable, then let them be shareholders who don't care about things." That way, you don't have to worry about their future, so why not?"
Zhao Yazhi nodded, and finally said: "The company can give them shares, but I have to pay that part of the money, if you don't agree, I will refuse for them." ”
As he was talking, the phone bell rang on the side, Zhao Yazhi got up to answer the phone, and after greeting, he covered the microphone and said, "Alan called, looking for you!"
When Wu Cheng heard this, he couldn't help patting his forehead and got up to answer the phone.
At this time, Aunt Chen walked in with a vegetable basket in one hand and Zhou Huimin in the other, Zhao Yazhi saw this, so she said in a low voice: "I'll go and accompany Xiaomin to do homework, let's talk!"
Wu Cheng nodded, picked up the phone and said, "Alain, is there something wrong with me?"
"Little uncle, you're enough! Why are you afraid that I will collect debts?
Wu Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid that you will collect debts! But it's not money, it's a manuscript! How can there be a person like you, who makes three phone calls a day and doesn't let people live?"
Half a month ago, "Zhu Xian" ended, Wu Cheng has not written a new novel, and the Urban Entertainment Newspaper has not received several sacks of letters from readers in the past half a month, and 70% of readers want Wu Cheng to revise the ending of "Zhu Xian".
Wu Cheng is painful and happy, in his previous life, he also hoped that the editor would urge his manuscript, but unfortunately he was a third-rate writer, he was willful, and he was a coder every day, and he was extremely conscious.
He has always had a wish, that is, one day it will become popular, and let the editor urge the manuscript, is it quite unproductive? Unfortunately, the wish of the previous life will come true in this life.
Of course, being urged to write, as a simple writer, it must be happy, which shows that his novel grades are not bad. But the pain is also natural, and when you don't have time to write, or you really can't write, it's definitely depressing to be urged to write.
Of course, if he hadn't 'copied' these novels, the pleasure would have been even greater.
The results of "Zhu Xian" are good, this time, "Urban Entertainment Daily" is indeed because of his novel, and the sales have increased to 130,000 copies, and at the peak, there were 150,000 copies, which is the final finale of "Zhu Xian".
This sales volume has firmly stood in the first-line newspaper industry.
Many readers hoped that Wu Cheng would bring Baguio to life, but they were disappointed.
Many emotional readers cried, feeling that Wu Cheng was too ruthless, and it was really unacceptable to give such an ending. And some of the more impulsive readers even went to the Urban Entertainment Newspaper to protest collectively, wanting Wu Cheng to change the ending.
Fortunately, Wu Cheng was busy and didn't have time to pay attention to these things. But Wu Shulan has become a shield for these 'anger'. She felt that she couldn't put it off any longer, and if she dragged it out, she wouldn't be able to stand it. The only solution is for Wu Cheng to publish a new book.
New book, Wu Cheng really hasn't thought about it carefully, which one to 'copy'?
Write, yes to write. After all, it's just 'copying'.
He wanted to copy some foreign novels and gain international fame. It's a pity that he has barely read even one of the foreign novels.
When I wrote "Jurassic Park", I also wrote it according to the movie, and then I polished it a little by myself, and the creativity was there, but in terms of writing, it was much worse.
Especially if he is a Chinese and writes foreign novels, in terms of readability, it will cause certain troubles to those foreigners. Because of this, the sales of "Jurassic" abroad are not ideal, and compared with the two novels he published in the Urban Entertainment Newspaper, the results are much worse.
'Hui Ming' was published more than two months ago, and the publishing house is the 'Scholarly Publishing House' set up by Wu Cheng and Wu Shulan, under the name of 'Urban Entertainment Newspaper'.
The 'Hui Ming' books have sold quite well, and in the past two months, more than 6 million copies have been sold in Hong Kong and Taiwan. This income alone has already redeemed the villa he mortgaged in the bank, and there is still a surplus of more than six million.
In addition to Hong Kong and Taiwan, other countries in Southeast Asia are also promoting this novel, but the specific number has not yet been counted. This is all thanks to the adaptation of the TV series.
Wu Shulan is also preparing to publish "Zhu Xian". According to what she meant, Wu Cheng's new book came out, and she just took this opportunity to promote it and take this opportunity to increase the sales of physical books.
In the publishing house, Wu Cheng's 'Huiming' alone has almost paid off their investment. In addition to Wu Cheng, the author, the Urban Entertainment Newspaper is also accepting contributions from other authors, and now the Urban Entertainment Newspaper, under the management of Wu Shulan, is thriving.
But the key is Wu Cheng!
That's why she called him three times a day.
"You're really a workaholic, you and Rong Shao are married, it's in the New Year! It's not been many days, and you're still thinking about work, be careful that Rong Shao dumps you!"
Facing Wu Cheng's 'curse', Wu Shulan said disapprovingly: "Don't change the topic, the matter between me and Shizai, the two of us can't get involved at all, and the two families are rushing to handle it!
"Okay, okay, let me think about which one to write...... Yes, I have several ideas! Give me three days, I'll give you the first draft when I'm ready, and hang up if it's okay!"
Before hanging up the phone, the phone rang again, and it was Huang Baiming who called.
After Huang Baiming came back from Treasure Island, he plunged into the screenwriting department of Donglong International, leading his screenwriting team, not only filling in the script outline provided by Wu Cheng, but also writing a lot of books for the company, but most of them were killed by Wu Cheng.
Previously, Wu Cheng handed over the script outline of 'Happy Ghost' to them for filling and polishing, and after three polishing and revisions, Wu Cheng estimated that the fourth revision had been completed.
Sure enough, what Huang Baiming said was the revision of the script of 'Happy Ghost'.
"Leave it to me tomorrow! In addition, you should also make preparations, the actor of this play is you, I need you to hone your acting skills for me in two or three months. ”
"Understood!" Huang Baiming said seriously: "I will be ready." ”
He knew that when filming, Wu Cheng was a more serious director, and he didn't want to be sprayed by Wu Cheng for nothing when he was on the set.
Hanging up the phone, Wu Cheng sat on the sofa, smoking a cigarette while thinking, which novel should be the next? Sometimes, too many choices are also a troublesome thing!
