Chapter 12 First Manuscript Fee

Author of two best-selling books in a row, the young Gu Zhi was soon praised by the Chinese media as a representative of young writers.

After the first Goku was written, most of the fans he accumulated were a group of young people who were going to school, and they were not much different from his own age.

Many middle-aged and elderly people who have already started a family don't like Wukong's writing, they feel too naïve, and even the author Gu Zhi is a notch lower in their eyes.

These people are reluctant to admit Gu Zhi's identity as a best-selling author, and some people criticize today's young people on the Internet for not having a level of appreciation, as if they have formed a confrontation with Gu Zhi's fans.

As soon as the book came out, the voice of doubt was much weaker, and this book also circled many fans of different ages for Gu Zhi.

At present, it is the peak moment of Hong Kong Island movies and Hong Kong Island's economy, and the mainland has not yet fully risen, and many people naturally think of a developed city in their minds when they think of Hong Kong Island.

The economic crushing has brought cultural crushing, and many Hong Kong Island stars in this era have a large group of fans in the mainland and have a solid audience base.

For example, Liu Dehua, Zhou Yanfa, Liang Chaowei, Liu Jialing, etc., this is also the reason why they can smoothly come to the mainland to develop in the future.

Therefore, Wu Jiandao, a police novel with a strong Hong Kong flavor, was a great success once it was published.

After reading this book, many people are wondering if Gu Zhi's family had previously participated in gangs on Hong Kong Island, otherwise how could Gu Zhi, who was still a minor, know so much about the relationship between the police and gangs on Hong Kong Island.

Almost all the reporters who came to their homes for interviews asked about this question.

Generally, after asking Gu Zhi, the reporter didn't believe his answer, and had to ask the consultant and Lin Zhi again, which made the family cry and laugh.

Since the two books became popular, reporters have called almost every day to interview Gu Zhi, most of them news reporters and entertainment reporters from various TV stations.

At the beginning, Gu Zhi basically did not refuse to come, as long as it was a reporter from a regular unit with a press card, he would be interviewed.

Later, more and more books were sold, and he became more and more famous, and more than a dozen phone calls came to their home every day, which was annoying and miserable.

Gu Zhi saw that his fame was almost big enough, so he refused all the interviews and unplugged the phone line at home by the way, saving himself from annoying himself every day.

At this time, domestic mobile phones have not yet been popularized, BB machines are popular, PHS are a minority, rich local tyrants are generally using big brothers, a big and black, thick and long, specially used to pretend to be forced things.

Gu Zhi didn't have any of these things, the consultant used the BB machine that Shenzhen University gave him, and Lin Zhi wanted to buy a big brother before, but was later persuaded by Gu Zhi.

This thing is ugly and inconvenient, which is completely inconsistent with Linzhi's temperament. In two years, Nokia should enter the domestic market, and Huaqiangbei's copycat mobile phones are also about to rise, and there is no need to buy a big brother now.

Gu Zhi finally lived a few days of leisure, and decided to take a break for himself.

Watch movies with my parents on holidays, read books by myself, and continue to learn about screenwriting and directing.

After the family watched "Endless", within a few days, a national celebration happened in Huaguo.

On December 20, 1999, Grapevine handed over the power of Omen to Huaguo, and the Omen Special Administrative Region was officially established!

On that day, Gu Zhi's family of three put down their work and stood in front of the TV together to stare at the live broadcast of CCTV. This is undoubtedly a matter of pride for the people of the whole country.

The return of the homeland is the desire of all people.

And Gu Zhi knew that in the next ten years, Aomen would be very quiet, lying beside Huaguo, and making a fortune in a muffled voice.

Unlike Hong Kong Island next door, he is in China, but his heart is in England. is willing to be an English dog, and is not willing to make money from the mainland.

Taking this opportunity, Gu Zhi and his parents proposed to travel to Omen together during the Spring Festival holiday.

It just so happened that Gu Zhi recently got his first manuscript fee, 176417 yuan.

Among them, Wukong wrote and sold more than 100,000 copies, contributing more than half of his manuscript fee.

Although the sales without difficulty are not as good as those written by Wukong, the benefits brought by them cannot be underestimated.

When it was not difficult to sign a contract with a publishing house, Gu Zhi relied on his fame to win a royalty rate of 12%, deducting taxes and fees handed over to the state, and each book could bring him an income of eight cents.

When he first got the money, Gu Zhi gave it directly to his parents, but they didn't accept it, so he had to give up.

Now that Omen has returned, he can just use the money to be the first tourists after his return with his parents.

Gu Zhi thought it was very beautiful, but his parents rejected his proposal in one bite.

"We have to go to your grandmother's house for the New Year this year, how can we not go home for the New Year. ”

"I don't go to Aomen, I don't go to my grandmother's house, I want to go to my grandfather's house for the New Year, and I haven't been back for a year. ”

"Go to my mom's house! I haven't seen my mom in a year!"

"Don't go..."

In front of the TV, Lin Zhi and the consultant gradually ignored Gu Zhi on the side, and had a profound discussion on the question of whose house to go to for the New Year.

Gu shook his head in a sneer, took a banana, and silently returned to the room, he didn't want to be involved in this endless battle.

Nyingchi and the Consultant Capital are not natives of Shenyong City, which is also a common thing among many families living in Shenyong.

It can be said that Shenyong is a city composed of outsiders, since the reform and opening up, countless outsiders have poured into Shenyong to build Shenyong.

Shen Yong is their hard work, and they have become a new generation of Shen Yong people.

Every year during the Chinese New Year, Consultant Zhi and Lin Zhi would quarrel over the question of "which home to go to", and Gu Zhi was used to it in his previous life.

He actually didn't want to go anywhere, because he was really not familiar with those relatives, and he was forced to sit together and chat awkwardly every Chinese New Year, which was really not a good experience.

And after their family fell into the middle of the road in the previous life, none of their relatives stood up to help them in the slightest, and he had already seen through these so-called relatives, and it didn't matter in this life.

No matter where you go, you have the right to accompany your parents.

The next day, the unexpected family had free time.

At Gu Zhi's suggestion, the family of three went to the mall together.

There is still more than a month to go before the Chinese New Year, and everyone has to buy some New Year's goods and buy a few new clothes.

They don't have to buy their clothes, they are handled by Lin Zhi every year.

At this time, there were more shops in Huaguo Mall, and the categories of goods were also rich.

It is a holiday, many families choose to go out at this time, and there are really many customers in the mall.

The three of them went shopping all day, and finally bought two boxes of good wine, four boxes of beautifully packaged nutritional products, three packs of good Tieguanyin tea, five soft-pack Chinese cigarettes, three Shenzhen local specialty cigarettes - Good Day, Temeisi, Xili, and two large bags of golden monkey and white rabbit toffee.

These are all things to take back to their hometown for New Year's greetings, and they only bought a five-yuan salted duck, a spicy chicken wing, and a small bag of cherry tomatoes, all for dinner tonight.

On this day, the parents were busy buying New Year's gifts, and Gu Zhi came back from 2017, and he didn't like the current products at all, and he had no desire to shop in the mall at all, and the last family simply didn't buy anything for themselves.

The days are dull, and the year is coming to an end, and before the New Year, Gu Zhi finally decided on the first script he wrote.
