The third letter from Lin Bai Publishing House, Gu Shunfeng, in addition to the reminder that is about to form a convention, also briefly introduces the sales of the book "Sealing Demons".

Hot! It's extremely hot!

Gu Shunfeng's words are very simple, but they vividly show the popularity of "The Demon". Its sales of more than one million copies have squeezed into the third place on the annual best-selling list! is about to come to the solar calendar year, and "Sealed Demon" unfortunately cannot reach the top of the annual best-selling list in 1999. But for the upcoming millennium, Gu Shunfeng is full of confidence!

After Chen Yuan read the email, his heart was excited. The traditional version of "The Sealed Demon" has been published to the 7th episode, with a total sales of more than 100,000, and an average sales volume of 150,000 per copy!

But the Jiuhuang Publishing House in the mainland gave a conservative estimate of 15,000 copies?

Chen Yuan shook his head and smiled, this amount was too small, far from meeting his expectations. The readership in the mainland is much larger than that of Taiwanese readers. How can its sales be only one-tenth of Taiwan's?

The simplified and traditional publishing of "The Sealed Demon" is hot and cold, and it is really two heavens of ice and fire.

Chen Yuan was not too worried. "The Sealed Demon" has only been on the market in the mainland for a week, and the publicity has not yet been rolled out, so it is impossible to be as hot as the Taiwan market. But with the passage of time, "Sealed Demon" will surely shine in the mainland! Chen Yuan is convinced of this.

When Chen Yuan opened the fourth email, his originally calm heart beat violently.

The script is finally in the news!

The email comes from Zhongbo Century Film and Television Media Co., Ltd., which was established in September last year and is one of the first batch of private media organizations in China that have been approved by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, hold film and television production franchise qualifications, and are specialized in film and television distribution, investment and production.

The other party first praised the ingenious conception of "Crazy Stone", and then questioned that the script was suspected of plagiarizing "Two Big Smoking Guns" directed by Guy Ritchie, which was released abroad last year.

But it is undeniable that "Crazy Stone" is copied at a very high level!

It's just that the other party is skeptical about the box office after its release, or whether domestic audiences can accept such a film. Therefore, a more conservative price is given - 8000 yuan!

Chen Yuan carefully confirmed the number of 0 behind 8, and smiled inexplicably. The excitement calmed down. The so-called greater hope, greater disappointment, is just the right way to describe his mood at this time.

The script of "Crazy Stone" is only worth eight thousand dollars?

Chen Yuan really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, but he had a lot of experience in the end, so he wouldn't be so out of shape. Zhongbo Media only gave a pitiful 8,000 yuan, and Chen Yuan didn't bother to reply to the other party. He returned the mailbox directly.

After calming down, Chen Yuan boarded QQ again. Just listen to the chaotic sound of Didi, and there are a bunch of information prompts.

The fact that he wrote the script has spread in his circle of friends, and many people have offered help. Everyone is very concerned about the situation of the script. With this information, many people are asking about the progress of the script.

Chen Yuan felt everyone's enthusiasm, and a warm current flowed through his heart. He tapped on the keyboard and replied to these enthusiastic netizens one by one. It took more than ten minutes to complete the task. In the end, it was the turn of the female netizen Bing Chengcheng.

There were a lot of messages sent by Icefall City, and he read through them. Only then did I learn that the TV series "Youth Bao Qingtian" she filmed has been completed and will premiere in February of the millennium. And she herself is now on vacation, and the time has come back to her normal routine.

Chen Yuan congratulated her and promised that if he had time, he would definitely watch this TV series.

As soon as the message was sent, Icefall City came back.

"Great writer, why hasn't it been online during this time?" Icefall.

"Something happened. Because of the overuse of the brain, he was hospitalized in a coma with a smiling face. ”

"Scared? So serious? It seems that staying up late a lot is really not a good thing. You have to pay attention in the future! ”

"After filming, your crew was disbanded?"

"yes, it's not the second day of vacation. Without new filming, my sister may be unemployed for a long time. Bitter face. ”

"It's about to be the New Year, and you're still thinking about filming? Give yourself a vacation, it's true. ”

"The holiday is good, of course, but this holiday is too long...... By the way, how's your script? ”

"I received a reply, and I only gave 8,000 yuan, crying face."

"Eight thousand? Surprised face. Movie scripts are so lucrative! ”

"How is 8,000? The better scripts are more than 100,000, and there are even more expensive ones, which cost tens of millions! ”

"My sister has never been exposed to this kind of thing, so I don't know much about it. Embarrassed face. ”

"Is the script bad?"

"Of course not. This script is not generally good, as long as it is filmed, it will definitely cause shock! ”

"Since you are so confident, you can vote for a few more! There will definitely be someone who will recognize the hero and give a good price! ”

"I only found Zhongbo Media, Greenlight Production, and Star Shadow Investment on the Internet, and I voted for the scripts once, and I only received a reply from Zhongbo Media for the time being. The other two companies are estimated to have to wait a little longer. ”

"Why didn't you cast a picture? Qingying Studio? Jingying? My sister has never heard of these companies you voted for. By the way, you can just come to Kyoto. There are many film production companies and directors here, so there are more opportunities. ”

"To Kyoto?"

"Yes, come on, my great writer! Sister is waiting for you here. Smiley. ”

"However, I'm still in school, and I'm close to the final exams......"

"Don't be a mother-in-law, be like a man! You're a big writer, can't you even do the little thing of learning textbook knowledge? If you come to Kyoto, maybe your sister can help! ”

"I'm going to think about it. Are you in Kyoto? Where? ”

"Kyoto Film Academy!"

……

Chen Yuan quit QQ, but he couldn't calm down in his heart.

Do you want to enter Beijing or not? As Bing Cheng said, there are many production companies, many directors, and many opportunities there. The companies he found on the Internet were unreliable or not, and he didn't know whether they were reliable. And in the memory of the future, there is simply no information about these companies. On the contrary, it was the China Film and Beijing Film mentioned by Ice Fall City, which were like thunder and impressive.

Perhaps, he really wants to go to Beijing.

There are many opportunities there, and you may meet Bole who knows heroes. Once "Crazy Stone" is filmed and released, there is a great chance that it will cause a sensation as in memory. Chen Yuan's name as a screenwriter will be resounded in the film and television circle. This will become a stepping stone for him to enter the entertainment industry. Next, whether it is learning to be a director or investing in making movies, everything is logical!

If you just wait for things to develop, and want to have the ability to escort your beloved girl, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream. In many cases, people should take the initiative! Only by taking the initiative can we achieve our goals faster. Sometimes, being proactive can even make the impossible possible!

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan made a decision.

He was a man who dared to act. Now that the decision had been made, he did not delay any longer. From now on, you have to prepare for entering Beijing! He swished to his feet, turned to leave. found that Zhang You was standing not far behind him.

"You're still here?" Chen Yuan asked in surprise.

"Master, you just promised me that you would go out and rub it together!" Zhang You said with a smile.

Is there one? Chen Yuan didn't remember. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. At 17 o'clock, it was still early. He proposed, "Now?" ”

"Anytime!" Zhang You nodded excitedly.

The two left the Internet café together and went to a nearby restaurant.

At this time, it was not yet time to eat, and there were not many customers in the restaurant. The two ordered shredded pork in Beijing sauce, stir-fried meat with green peppers, boiled fish, and asked for a small fish soup, and made up four dishes, chatting while waiting for the dishes to be served.

Chen Yuan's mind was full of things about entering Beijing, and he seemed a little absent-minded. Zhang You saw that the master was not in a state, and he didn't care, so he picked up some things and chatted.

After the five flavors of the dish, Chen Yuan finally realized the problem, he smiled apologetically, went straight to the point, and said: "More than ten years ago, when the Xiaobawang game machine came out, it caused a sensation. It is still sought after by many young people. But compared to more than a decade ago, there are now computers and single-player games. What do you think the future should look like? ”

"Master means that computers will replace game consoles?" Zhang You's heart was slightly shocked.

Chen Yuan didn't answer, and said: "You have heard of the name of Big Brother, BP machines can be bought on the market now, their era will pass, and the future will be the era of mobile phones!" ”

"This ......" Zhang You's head was a little dizzy.

Chen Yuan smiled faintly: "There are still less than a few days to enter the new century. In the 21st century, development will be rapid and ever-changing. It changes almost every day. New things will appear, and old things will be eliminated. The development of computers will be the top priority in the future! Maybe one day, every household will have one or several computers. Can you imagine that situation? ”

"How is this possible?" Zhang You was completely dizzy, how could every household have such an expensive thing as a computer? Now a computer costs 5,000 yuan, and the average person's monthly income is only a few hundred. Who would be willing to buy a computer with a year's income? Besides, what's the use of buying a computer? If you can't make money, can you play games all day long?

Chen Yuan smiled, laughing inexplicably, he asked rhetorically, "Why is it impossible?" Have you seen the Terminator? ”

Zhang You nodded.

"It is impossible for computers to develop to the extent of Terminator, but it is still possible to enter people's lives and serve people in all aspects. At least it can keep us entertained right now! Chen Yuan said.

"Master, what do you want to say?" Zhang You is still in the clouds.

Chen Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "To put it simply, computers will be the fastest growing thing in the future, and they are also an indispensable thing in people's lives. How do we make computers work for us? That's what computer engineers do. And what you're learning to write code is one of the jobs of a computer engineer. ”

Zhang You finally got a clue and said excitedly: "Master, do you want me to continue to study coding, discover and research more functions of computers, and become a real computer engineer, so as to repay the society?" ”

"Are you a child? How could there be such a naïve idea? Chen Yuan was speechless.
