Chapter 70: The Main Line of the New Novel

Looking at the gifts that Yu Wenle specially brought from the seaside, in terms of price alone, it is estimated that it is about 1,000 yuan. Such a gift, for Cui Wenying, the price of a bottle of high-end wine is not as good, and it is not valuable.

But if you really spend thousands of yuan to buy these things, it is estimated that you can't buy them. Similar to the dried sandworms, the output of the entire Yanhuang Empire is extremely low. Many of them are often excavated and purchased by local restaurants and hotels.

In the face of these inexpensive, sincere but heavy gifts, Cui Wenying was somewhat moved. At least in her opinion, Yu Wenle, a young man, still seems to be in an orderly manner in dealing with people.

After opening all the gifts and introducing them, Yu Wenle said with a smile: "Elder Xu, Grandma Cui, although these things have taken a lot of effort, they are also a little bit of our family's heart, and also a little bit of thought of our hometown.

You also said last time that now is not the same as before, and it is extremely troublesome to go back to your hometown. Nowadays, I can't bring the mountains and rivers of my hometown, and I can still collect some of the ingredients from my hometown for you.

If you still feel that you can't go, then you should be a little bit of filial piety to my sister and me. Since my sister and I both call you Grandma Cui and send some of your own souvenirs, your boss will not refuse, right? ”

The euphemistic words came out, which made Xu Shiming also look at Yu Wenle with an extra glance. At least Xu Shiming knows that his wife has never forgotten his hometown. The older I get, the more nostalgic I feel for my hometown.

And Cui Wenying listened to Yu Wenle's words, and was moved, but also scolded with a smile: "When I first saw you, why didn't I see that you had such eloquence?" Forget it, since it's your family's will, then I'm ashamed.

Don't leave at noon today, I'll cook it myself, and I'll have these ingredients to cook a family feast for you. Old man, you are blessed today. The taste of these dry goods, you will definitely like it too. ”

Such an invitation, Yu Wenle originally wanted to refuse. But if you think about it, if you refuse, I'm afraid that this old man will be unhappy again. In the end, I had no choice but to agree to come down and have a family banquet cooked by the countess herself.

Naturally, it takes a little time to cook these dried seafoods. At this time, Yu Wenle's mother, as a woman from a fishing village, gave Cui Wenying a hand, and her little sister Yu Wenlei also went to the back kitchen to watch the excitement.

On the other hand, Yu Wenle's father and son began to drink tea and chat with Xu Lao. When I came, I only knew that Cui Wenying's identity was very noble. But Yu Rong always felt that the old man in front of him seemed to have seen it on TV.

After careful inquiry, I learned that the amiable-looking old man in front of him turned out to be the former foreign minister of the Yanhuang Empire. This made Yu Rong suddenly feel that being able to get acquainted with two old men with such noble status was also the smoke of their ancestral tombs.

Just when Xu Lao left, Yu Wenle whispered slightly: "Dad, since Xu Lao didn't mention his identity, you just don't know." If I hadn't asked someone when I came, I wouldn't have known that he had such a noble status.

We're here today just to say thank you, and there's more to come, so let's just don't know. As long as you look at them as ordinary people, I don't think they will mind. ”

In Wenle's view, whether it is Cui Wenying or Xu Shiming. They all have glamorous backgrounds, and they have seen too much and felt too much for compliments and respect. On the contrary, it is the treatment of ordinary people, and it is difficult for them to enjoy.

When Xu Shiming made a pot of tea, Yu Wenle took over the errand of pouring tea in due time, poured it for the old man who had been staring at him and smiling, and did not forget to add a cup to his father and himself.

At this moment, Xu Shiming smiled and said, "Wenle, what do you think of this tea?" ”

Regarding this kind of inquiry, Yu Wenle also said honestly: "The tea is very fragrant and tastes good, the first time I drink this kind of tea, I think this tea should be very precious." It's just that I rarely drink tea, so I can't tell whether it's good or bad. ”

Since you don't understand, there's no need to pretend to understand. At Bunraku's age, it's normal not to know how to taste tea. If you pretend to be B, it will only backfire. It's better to say something and be more sincere.

This answer made Xu Shiming really a little surprised, but he also smiled with satisfaction: "Also, with your current age, it is indeed a little difficult for you to taste tea." By the way, you should have other things to do when you come to Dragon City this time, right? ”

Well, in addition to visiting you and Grandma Cui, it's more about coming to Dragon City to experience it in advance. In the second half of the year, my sister will go to the music middle school to study, and the house and my parents' life need to be arranged.

In addition, there are some official business, and the night after tomorrow I will go to Dixuntong Company to record a live webcast interview. In addition, it is to sign an agreement with Royal Culture Media for the physical publication of the novel. That's it for now! ’

Hearing Yu Wenle's answer, Xu Shiming also said happily: "Your novel is going to be published physically?" ”

Well, I didn't sign the physical copyright before, and I didn't want to expose my identity. At that time, I was preparing for the college entrance examination, and I didn't want the media to disturb me too much and affect my preparation for the college entrance examination.

Now that the identity has been exposed, many book fans have also proposed that they hope to see the physical book as much as possible. To sum up, those publishers who sent invitations, I thought the conditions of Royal Culture Media were good, so I agreed to sign a contract with them. ’

Perhaps it is currently in Bunraku, which has attracted a lot of media attention and is also popular on the Internet. Publishing houses, which have been in contact with the South Vietnamese Martial Arts Weekly, have also been increasing their bids for physical licensing.

Considering the distribution strength of these publishing houses, or the signing conditions, Yu Wenle decided to sign a contract with Royal Culture Media after consulting Xu Ao of Wuxia Weekly.

Although in terms of sharing, Royal Culture Media gives less than half of what some publishing companies give. However, Yu Wenle feels that with the distribution strength of Royal Culture Media, the sales of physical novels should be more than those of other publishing houses.

Moreover, in addition to the sales share of physical books, Royal Culture Media also gave a lot of signing money. The signing fee of 500,000 yuan, in Xu Ao's view, is something that many new authors can't think of at all.

The conditions for signing the contract were also told to Xu Shiming, and the old man nodded in agreement: "It is also rare for you to have this kind of consideration." Being able to deal with the royal culture media will still be helpful for your future career in the literary world.

I read news reports on the Internet, and your next novel is also about martial arts. Can you tell us a little bit about what kind of story it is? Speaking of which, after retiring, reading novels is one of my few interests! ”

If this is a reporter's inquiry, Yu Wenle will simply say, 'Keeping it confidential for the time being, it is inconvenient to answer'. can be replaced by Xu Shiming to ask, Yu Wenle is naturally not good at what to keep, and it is okay to say some outline.

After organizing the language in his heart, Yu Wenle said: "Compared with laughing at the rivers and lakes, it is more about the grievances and hatreds of the rivers and lakes." In the new novel, I still want to embody some of the values that martial arts novels should advocate in the protagonist.

In the past, I saw a lot of ancient martial arts characters in books, and most of them referred to these people as people who 'violated the ban with martial arts'. But I think that martial arts can't one-sidedly highlight the strength of martial arts, maybe you can make some articles on chivalry.

In my opinion, a true hero should have a righteous heart for the country and the people. And the protagonist I set will also be written around this main line. The chronological setting chooses the early Southern Song Dynasty as the historical background of the novel. ”

A simple overview, but Xu Shiming's evaluation of Wenle increased by another point. As a novelist, some of the truths contained in the text will also affect the person who reads the novel.

In Xu Shiming's view, this kind of chivalrous nature of serving the country and the people is also worth advocating. This shows that after experiencing the turmoil of Xiaoao Jianghu about insinuating politics, Yu Wenle seems to have matured a lot.

Presumably, this is another martial arts masterpiece of Yu Wenle, and it is still worth looking forward to by martial arts fans of the Yanhuang Empire!
