Although she couldn't figure out the ins and outs, Catherine still expressed her support for Lin Zhicheng's behavior.

No way, who let Lin Zhicheng be the owner of the island, and she is his personal butler? Even out of professional ethics, Catherine must support all of Lin Zhicheng's legitimate behavior.

In addition, a little interest in writing novels is also one of the reasons why Catherine spares no effort.

That's right, Catherine didn't just help, at the request of Lin Zhicheng, she also accepted the invitation to become a writer who worked together.

Why invite Catherine to write together? You know, writing together means that the authorship will be dispersed, and the final copyright of the work will fall into Catherine's hands.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" is a big gold mine, isn't it good to eat it alone? Is it to use this method to further win over Catherine and make her more dedicated to serving herself?

Perhaps, there will be many people who can't understand Lin Zhicheng's choice and think that he shouldn't invite Catherine to write and collaborate with him.

There are several reasons for this.

The first one, which is indeed what many people imagine, is to further win people's hearts.

Although John Sr. is now less than 60 years old, even according to the country's retirement regulations, he can continue to work for another ten years or so. However, as the saying goes, people must have near-term worries without long-term concerns, and from Lin Zhicheng's point of view, he can't always count on Old John, can he?

Sooner or later, Catherine will take over Old John's class and become the first butler by Lin Zhicheng's side. Then, even for the sake of a peaceful life in the future, Lin Zhicheng has to start acting in advance and completely envelop Catherine as his own talent.

Some people may think that this is redundant, after all, she has followed the identity of Old John since she was a child, and under the influence of her ears, Catherine's loyalty is not doubted at all.

One yard to one yard, whether Catherine is loyal or not, that is hers, as the owner of the island, Lin Zhicheng can't take this loyalty for granted. After all, he accepted the inheritance halfway through and then became the owner of the island, and until then, he had not provided any benefit to John Sr. and Catherine's family.

Maybe there will be no problems for a while at first, but after a long time, there is still no expression, hehe, Lin Zhicheng does not think that he can persevere in that situation and continue to be loyal to his employer.

compares his heart to his heart, so Lin Zhicheng thought of inviting Catherine to write together, intending to quietly share some benefits with her.

Secondly, it is because in the process of 'creation', Lin Zhicheng really needs a helper.

I used to be an online writer and mastered a certain degree of writing ability, but this does not mean that Lin Zhicheng can create "Pirates of the Caribbean" on his own.

You know, online novels and traditional forms of novels are not the same thing at all.

For example, novels that are also all fantasy themes, "Journey to the West" among the four famous novels, the whole article is only 820,000 words, but what about the Internet? 820,000 words is about one-third for a popular novel.

In other words, if "Pirates of the Caribbean" is written in the style of an online novel, then this novel, which should be very concise and evocative, will become a popcorn work.

If it's not mellow enough to be evocative, will there be any film companies that will take a fancy to this novel and have the idea of adapting it into a movie?

In the final analysis, the benefits of the novel itself are still very limited, and the 'big head' still has to be realized through the adaptation of the movie. In other words, if Lin Zhicheng didn't invite an assistant to check for him, perhaps, he would enjoy a hearty feeling when creating, but when the manuscript is finished, he will miss the sweetest fruit because the style of the work itself is not enough.

In addition to helping to control the length of the text, Catherine also has another job, which is to help Lin Zhicheng check the manuscript and choose more suitable words for him.

Although he has mastered English with the help of the system, his proficiency is not inferior to that of native English-speaking people. However, in the end, Lin Zhicheng is still a Chinese inside, and his mother tongue is still Chinese that has been passed down for thousands of years.

For example, if you accept a command, you can have an answer of 'okay', 'yes', 'understood', 'I know', etc. There is not much difference between the meaning of the words themselves, but if they are changed at will, the meaning of the whole conversation will change dramatically.

For example, in the military, when a non-commissioned officer gives orders to a private, the private can only answer 'yes' and if he comes with a 'I know'. Hehe, are you expressing your dissatisfaction? Not to mention giving you a kick, at the very least, dozens of push-ups are indispensable.

The total number of English words in Lin Zhicheng's mind is no less than that of people born in English-speaking countries, but when it comes to the ability to use these words, he is still a little worse.

Therefore, in order to convey the original meaning correctly, he had to find a native English speaker and a certain level of education to be his assistant. When you have several words to choose from, ask an assistant to help you choose the most appropriate word to avoid missing words.

Strictly speaking, this job should be done by the editor.

However, who asked Lin Zhicheng to save face? He didn't want to hand over a manuscript like a primary school student's essay when submitting it, and be laughed at by editors he had never met.

Besides, it's a hassle to go back and revise it, isn't it?

There is one last reason, that is, Lin Zhicheng is somewhat weak and wants to find someone to share the firepower.

A literary work is made up of countless details. Among them, although some of the content comes from the previous text and appears naturally along the context, there are also many contents that come from a flash of inspiration. For example, a sudden turn of events, or the appearance of a completely new character, etc.

If it is the original author, I won't say every paragraph, but at the very least, he will definitely be able to give his own explanation for everything that involves the key plot, and say positively why he wrote it at that time.

Plagiarists, after all, are just plagiarists, no matter how familiar they are with the work, there are still some things that cannot be answered.

Thinking that "Pirates of the Caribbean" would inevitably become a hit, and after that, the author had to accept some interviews and have to face various inquiries from reporters and readers, Lin Zhicheng was more or less weak-hearted, for fear that he would reveal flaws in the process of answering.

Out of this concern, he came up with an idea - whether it was possible to find someone to work with, and then bring this person to face the problem when he needed to face it in the future.

If you can't answer yourself, your companion can help you supplement. In this way, not only will the number of flaws themselves be reduced, but because of the partner's 'misleading', the questioner may also spontaneously make up for it, saving himself more trouble.

It doesn't matter if the two of them have different interpretations - in that case, the questioner's attention will be diverted, and he will only think about 'whose words are more reliable', rather than 'whether this work is plagiarized'.

Who to choose to play the role of 'partner'? Lin Zhicheng immediately thought of a candidate, and it was obvious that there was no one more suitable than Catherine.

It's a long story, in fact, after just thinking about it for one night, Lin Zhicheng made up his mind and decided to invite Catherine to be his assistant, and the two of them would 'create' the work "Pirates of the Caribbean" together.

really started to write, it is estimated that it will be a year later, and in the recent period, Lin Zhicheng does not have the leisure, nor does he have the heart to sit down and be a quiet beautiful man.

Christmas is in a few days, and New Year's Day is later. Although Lin Zhicheng himself doesn't care much about these two festivals, don't forget that he is not in the Celestial Empire now, but lives in the Nalan Islands, and for the people here, Christmas and New Year's Day are annual events.

It is natural to follow the customs when entering the country. Moreover, as the new owner of the island, Lin Zhicheng also has to take action.

You must know that two major events occurred in this year, namely the replacement of the owner of the island and the withdrawal of the US troops stationed on the island. Any one of them will make the residents of the island uneasy, let alone two things coming together?

It's easy to get through to the end of the year, and it's time to let the big guys relax.

In addition, holding some celebrations can also help to raise the mood of the island's residents and make them look forward to the new year.

As for uniting people's hearts, improving their favorability in the hearts of residents, and improving their impression of themselves, Lin Zhicheng didn't care too much - people's hearts are flesh and blood, as long as they take action on their side, the big guy will naturally give feedback.

Even if there is no reaction for the time being, it doesn't matter, anyway, the days are still long, not at this time and a half.

"Catherine, do you have any good ideas? I mean, on Christmas and New Year's Day, I'm going to do an event to make the inhabitants of the island happy. As soon as the words were spoken, Lin Zhicheng laughed unconsciously-the scene in front of him reminded him of the plot in "Di Renjie", and Catherine's body seemed to be covered with the shadow of 'Yuan Fang'.

"Oh, is it Christmas?" What surprised Lin Zhicheng a little was Catherine's reaction, she didn't seem to expect Lin Zhicheng to have such an idea at all.

"Huh?" Lin Zhicheng also showed a surprised expression: "Why, didn't there be a Christmas habit on the island before?"

"Not really. Catherine shook her head: "However, compared to Christmas, the big guy still seems to care more about the Spring Festival." ”
