Chapter Eighty-Seven: The First Writer in China's Science Fiction Industry
To do business, you must first grasp the information.
On the thirtieth day of the lunar month, the school was completely deserted, and every corner of the city was filled with the atmosphere of the New Year.
It was this afternoon.
Xu Teng and Gu Chen accompanied Chen Jian to the headquarters of Jiangtai Group in Jiangpu District, and used Chen Jian's status as a major shareholder to consult a lot of information and try to figure out all aspects of the entire Jiangtai system.
The three spent Chinese New Year's Eve in 2002 at the Yintai Building of Jiangtai headquarters, which was probably the weirdest Lunar New Year in Xu Teng's memory.
He sent a text message to Qi Lijing, congratulating the New Year, and by the way, giving her a new task - collecting information about the Qingyun system, from the ins and outs of the entire Qingyun department companies to every important employee, and collect them as much as possible.
At the eighth day of the new year, many students returned to school one after another, and all the employees of Jiangzhou Tiantian Network Technology Company also ended their holidays and began to devote themselves to the work of the new year.
In the morning, Xu Teng held a middle and high-level meeting in his 1504 president's office.
After four months of hard work, this small broken company is becoming more and more mature, but it is still strict that there is a lack of talents, and it is now living to start a business.
Flicker master Yang Fuyou is the marketing director, sycophant master Director Xue is the technical director, male spy teacher Tu is the director of the confidentiality department, female spy Qi Lijing is the assistant to the president, plumber Chen Zhen is the director of Jiangzhou Game Network and the training project department, and pseudo petty bourgeois Han Dai is the director of Jiangzhou City Network.
Luo Ye, the former editor-in-chief of science fiction magazines, the most chaotic and defeated layman in history, just arrived in Jiangzhou yesterday, reported to the company for the first time today, and was appointed as the editor-in-chief and project director of Tiantian Chinese Network.
This editor-in-chief Luo knows nothing about computer and network technology, and Xu Teng really has no one in his hands, and appointing Mr. Hu as the technical director of Tiantian Chinese Network can be regarded as giving this most failed commercial spy in history a chance to atone for his crimes.
Xiaopo company, there is really no one.
"The Summer Literature Factory was officially merged into the Tiantian Chinese Network Project Department, and there are a few unemployed homeless people there, Lijing, you all know. After the meeting, you will take Editor-in-Chief Luo over to introduce the mutual understanding, and this matter will be managed by Editor-in-Chief Luo, and after their book is published in traditional Chinese, it will be published on the Chinese website and slowly promoted. β
Xu Teng originally planned to finish writing "Galactic Samurai" during the winter vacation, but now he really doesn't have time, and occasionally squeezes some time to write, which is not as good as those few unemployed vagrants, so he simply let others write it.
He figured out that his so-called literary talent was just plagiarizing other people's works and processing them deeply, and the four books "Blue Star Giant", "Source Code", "Interstellar", and "Dark Universe" are all science fiction movie lines, which he has written and will definitely publish.
What he can do in the end, he doesn't know for the time being, even if he wants to continue to plagiarize and pretend, there are really not many themes in his hands, only the two themes of "Inception" and "Edge of Tomorrow" are still a little interesting.
"The literary factory is still quite interesting, Lao Luo, you can recruit more people, stabilize at about a dozen, and write some of the most popular topics in online articles every day. Of course, you have to control the cost and their quality. Xu Teng has been thinking about this matter for a long time, at the beginning of the game, no one has a good author, he can spend a little more money and make a bunch of early gods to support it first.
As for the future, those who have the ability will continue to write, and those who are not able will change careers to become editors.
Strictly speaking, Xu Teng's road to literary coercion is not broken, but must be sublimated, from a producer of works to a beneficiary of the entire ecosystem.
"Xiao Xu......!" Luo Ye didn't speak, and several people coughed lightly at the same time to remind him, calling Xiao Xu too forced, even the dean didn't shout like that.
President Xu ...... Director Xu?" Luo Ye was really embarrassed, and changed two titles testedly, thinking that these people were sick, he had called Xiao Xu for so many years, and it was the first time that so many people objected.
"Say it. β
"The latest issue of "Legend World Weekly", have you read it?" Luo Ye asked tentatively, it is estimated that Xu Teng didn't read it, and continued, "I suspect that I bought a photo album, from the cover to the illustrations, several large photos are all you, of course, it is indeed more handsome than your real life." β
"Dizzy, which of you has this issue of the new weekly?" Xu Teng really didn't know about this, and glared at Luo Ye by the way, yes, you really don't know how to mess up, you deserve that the new magazine doesn't want you, and the old magazine doesn't look down on you, saying that you are the most troubled middle-aged man in history, and he doesn't wronged you at all.
"Me. Han Dai raised her hand, immediately went back to the office to get the magazine, and soon ran back, "I just got off the train station in the morning, and when I passed by the magazine stall, I knew the leader's jade photos at a glance, and I bought a few copies on the spot." β
Xu Teng must have been a little excited when he was on the cover for the first time, but after a closer look, he didn't expect it to be this kind of handsomeness, all of them are photos of Tengyun Space, and the other party repaired it and used it directly.
He signed a brokerage agency agreement with CMG, and according to the contract, when it was necessary to promote him, CMG could directly use his portrait without infringing on his portrait rights.
With this order, he estimated that "Legendary World Weekly" would have no cover characters in each issue, and he could get two photos from Tengyun Space.
The cover picture comes from a new set of photos he took in January, when he happened to take a batch of new winter clothes from Dunhill, wearing a very classic long slim coat, on a wicker chair at school, next to a bottle of ChΓ’teau Lafite, half wrapped in newspaper, anyway, it was a big mess.
When Yang Fuyou retouched the picture, he spent a lot of thought, and he could only repair one per night on average, and this one was indeed the most handsome in the group.
Cover title - "Source Code", the first writer in China's science fiction industry, million-level manuscript fee.
Cha.
It's too arrogant.
Xu Teng was so brazen that he blushed.
Wait, million-dollar manuscript fees?
He didn't get a dime, so he hurriedly called Qin Yi, the president of the magazine, but the phone was still busy.
"Lao Luo!" Xu Teng directly commanded Luo Ye, "You quickly contact their magazine and ask what the situation is, I haven't paid a penny of manuscript fees until now, but it's very bullish, and I don't pay taxes?
"Good. Luo Ye hurriedly went back to his office to call, it is estimated that President Qin Yi will not default on the manuscript fee, but this level is really scary, it is actually a million.
Xu Teng'an was quiet, and continued to enjoy his handsome photos, covers, and inserts, a total of four, all of which were the most handsome ones, and there was no entire interview, so he got some public information in Tengyun space, and added a new piece of information about the science fiction novel published in the American "Asimov".
The meeting was off topic in the middle of the meeting, and everyone came to watch Leader Xu on the cover, which is indeed more handsome than looking on the Internet, of course, more handsome than the real person.
"Dizzy, if you really want to be so handsome, I'm bent. Chen Zhen sighed.
"It's all my handiwork. Yang Fuyou was even more embarrassed, how many nights of all-night fighting, and finally came up with some results.
"I see, the key is that our leaders are too handsome, no matter how they shoot, they are handsome, how many times have I told you that sooner or later the leader will be on the cover of a big magazine, you just don't believe it. Director Xue resolutely knelt and patted the fart of Leader Xu.
Xu Teng basically didn't listen to a word, and there were two questions in his heart, how can he be so handsome? Where did the million-level manuscript fee go?
After waiting for ten minutes, Luo Ye hurriedly ran back and reported to Xu Teng, "President Xu, President Qin asked me to say sorry to you, their magazine is also on holiday during the Spring Festival, and she temporarily changed her mind, but there are only four days." She's also too busy to say hello to you, so she'll send an editor to do an interview next week. As for the manuscript fee, she has decided to serialize the full text of "Galactic Samurai", and according to your manuscript fee standard, it is definitely one million, and it will never be in arrears. β
Xu Teng thought about it and understood that these were all for publicity needs, and the manuscript fee standard negotiated between the magazine and him was 1,000 yuan per 1,000 words, but this was for manuscripts at the level of "Source Code" and "Interstellar", not "Galactic Samurai" with more than 1.6 million words.
If "Galactic Samurai" is also to be serialized according to this standard, it is really a manuscript fee of three million for writing three million words!
