Chapter 303 The first meeting between master and apprentice
(On the first day of the month, cheekily ask for a monthly pass.) There is a shift before 10 p.m. )
A leather sofa facing the huge floor-to-ceiling windows on the south side. The afternoon sun was a little dazzling.
But for Zheng Wenhan, who was sitting on it at this time, every minute of sunshine, and even every pillar of light covered with virtual dust, was full of the taste of harvest and victory.
Before the publication of "The Story of the Wood Knife", although he was very confident, he did not expect that he would be able to gain so much at all!
Not only did he fight with the "Four Heroes of Fangzhu" in the publishing market in August until the last few days before he was defeated, but he also gained praise from countless professionals and tens of thousands of enthusiastic fans.
He never imagined that writing a novel could become famous so quickly, and he would become so famous, because as of today, no less than seven or eight well-known media have been warmly invited to interview him, the rising martial arts upstart, Yu Zhongtang.
Although there are still a lot of ingredients of "the only disciple of Jin Liang", in just over two months, from the previous obscurity, drinking and vomiting blood for the sake of connections, to now becoming famous all over the world...... It's like a lifetime away.
So much so that he is now sitting in the big office of Jin Liang on the fourth floor of the "Great Hero", basking in the sun and drinking the tea handed by the staff, he can't tell the difference between reality and illusion.
Since Jin Liang personally sent an email to him to ask for a manuscript, for more than two months, the two have often communicated through chat software. It has been more than a month since he took the initiative to propose that the master and apprentice be commensurate, and he is already quite familiar with it in the virtual world. However, in real life, today is the first time that Master Jin Liang has agreed to let him come to the "Great Man of Heroes" to visit him in person.
I tossed and turned all night last night and didn't sleep well. I got up early in the morning and picked out clothes for half an hour like I had on my first date. The designer shirt that had been ironed at the bottom of the box was carefully ironed again, and the hair was not as large as usual with a lot of hairspray. Only a few sprays of moisturizing gel...... He carefully speculated that when Master Jin Liang instructed him to write a novel, he basically only listed a few rough boxes, trying to let him retain his original natural and casual writing style, and he was probably natural and decent in terms of dress, which would leave a good impression, right?
Thinking with a little nervousness in my heart, my eyes involuntarily fell on the huge and elegant "Heroic Hero" LOGO directly above the desk.
"I heard that this is derived from the silhouette of the back of the master when he played Zhang Danfeng when he danced the sword, wrote the book himself, played the leading role, and the classic silhouette in the play was also used as a cultural symbol of his own company......"
Zheng Wenhan looked up and looked carefully, sincerely sighing. A heart that was already a little hot became more and more eager.
At this time, with a click, the door was pushed open, Zheng Wenhan's eyes swept to the high-spirited young figure, and immediately bounced up from the sofa like a spring, took a few steps forward, folded his hands in front of him, and bowed his head. made an ancient rite of literati visits:
"Master. ”
Deng Zheng didn't know that this was the etiquette that Zheng Wenhan carefully selected after checking the information all day yesterday, he was slightly stunned, waved his hand and smiled: "There is no need for this." Have a seat. ”
Zheng Wenhan felt that the voice seemed a little familiar, but he didn't think much about it. sat down on the sofa seriously, by the way, the ass was only two-thirds of the way hung.
Then he seriously looked at Master Jin Liang, who was sitting across from him. The first feeling was that he was really young, and then he was stunned: no wonder Erdet Phantom Ping said that Mr. Jin Liang was very similar to that Xiao Deng. Now that I look at it in person, it looks too similar! I just don't wear glasses. The hair is also very well managed, and he is much more handsome and chic than the sloppy little Deng!
Deng Zheng seemed to see through his thoughts, so he smiled: "What, Wen Han, do you think I am somewhat similar to someone you know?"
"Ahem...... Cough...... Master, you?" Zheng Wenhan, who had just picked up the teacup and took a sip, wanting to relieve the pressure and sense of restraint, was almost shocked that the tea squirted out, his eyes widened, he stammered, and his face was incredulous.
"Master and disciple or something, only exist when creating martial arts novels, and you don't have to talk about it all the time. I'm a few months older than you, so call me Brother Zheng in the future. Deng Zheng said, patting him on the shoulder, "It's still the same as in your hut before, don't be angry." ”
"Yes. Division...... Brother Zheng. ”
Zheng Wenhan replied with his mouth, but in his heart instantly set off a shocking wave, no wonder he was suddenly favored by Jin Liang and personally invited the manuscript, Erdet Phantom Ping even defeated countless top students from famous schools and became Jin Liang's personal assistant...... It's just why Wei Chihong, who knew him first and had the best relationship with him and was the most familiar with him on weekdays, has never been taken care of?
…… The reason for this is very scary to think about.
However, he knew what to say and what not to say, so he quickly calmed down, tried to be relaxed and casual, and talked with Deng Zheng enthusiastically.
Half an hour passed quickly. When they met for the first time, Zheng Wenhan got up on time and said goodbye in strict accordance with the social etiquette rules carefully formulated yesterday: ""The Condor Heroes" has changed from two times a month to four times, and "Xiao Shiyi Lang" is being filmed, Brother Zheng must be very busy now, so I won't bother." However, since I have been here, I will often come here to ask for advice in person in the future, and I hope that Brother Zheng, no, Master, will not be noisy with me when the time comes. ”
Deng Zheng smiled: "Welcome at any time." Today's matter, don't tell Yu Chi and Huanping first. Especially Wei Chi. ”
"I made a note of it. ”
Before leaving, Zheng Wenhan mentioned casually: "By the way, Brother Zheng, there are several TV stations and film and television companies that are interested in the copyright of "Chai Dao Ji", do you think?"
"You can decide for yourself, our contract only includes publication and serialization, and does not include derivative rights such as film and television. Now that martial arts IP is very popular, if there is any uncertainty about the price and contract, you can consult Vice President Qian Shihao. However, I think that if you are not particularly short of money, you should try to take a long-term view, even if you let some benefits, try to choose a company or TV station with production experience and production ability to cooperate. ”
Zheng Wenhan was stunned when he heard this, even if he was sleek, the disappointment in his eyes couldn't be suppressed, martial arts, the company with the most production experience and production capabilities, isn't it your "great man"?
Or do you just look down on my book?!
Deng Zheng naturally didn't have time to figure out that he, a disciple with a lively mind, actually wanted the "great man" to buy his copyright, and then produce a popular drama.
Since these things were mentioned, he explained earnestly: "There should be a lot of media waiting to interview you now, knowing that you may have a lot of messy activities after being a student of the film school, pay attention to allocating time and energy, those of us who write articles, in the final analysis, continuous and stable good works are the foundation of life." ”
Zheng Wenhan lowered his head slightly, and replied in an urn: "I know." Brother Zheng. ”
Seeing this, Deng Zheng's eyes narrowed, thinking that a noisy master like himself who intervenes in everything doesn't seem to be convincing in terms of concentration, so he smiled and waved his hand:
"Alright, there you go. Keep trying. The road to success has just begun. (To be continued......)
