"Twelve monkeys?" Xu Fei looked at the strange title on the manuscript: "What kind of subject is this?" ”

"Can't you just see it?" Li Xuechu said with a smile.

didn't say it directly, Xu Fei simply looked through the manuscript. This guy hasn't delivered the manuscript for more than a year, and many of the later movies are written directly into scripts, and later the publishing house came to the door to adapt it into a novel to earn some pocket money. And Xu Fei, who has been working with Li Xuechu for a long time, can also see that the novel is written by a gunman, after all, it is difficult to change a person's writing and wording habits, readers may not be able to distinguish it, and the editor's eyes are much better.

There's no way, with people's net worth, I can't look down on this little money for a long time, and now I will submit it completely out of hobby, and I will write some when I want to write, and I can't help it if I don't want to write. Old Man Jin saw this guy's thoughts, and simply lowered the remuneration back to the original novice level. "Anyway, you're not short of money, why do you want such a high manuscript fee?"

In addition to complaining a few words, Li Xuechu did not go to theorize, he was indeed not short of money.

After reading the article at a glance, Xu Fei couldn't help but complain secretly. Okay, I'm tired of playing comedy and literature, and now I'm going to science fiction, I don't know what I'll write next time, magic? Martial arts?

"It's a good work." Xu Fei could only admire the writing strength of the person in front of him: "I really don't know how Li Sheng's head is structured, there are always so many whimsical ideas." ”

"It's just cranky, and sometimes I make up a story when I think about it." Li Xuechu, who has been plagiarizing for a long time, has already developed a certain thickness of his face.

"If I were the president of Hong Kong CUHK, I would definitely hire you as a visiting professor to share my creative experience with the students of the Department of Chinese." Your strength. It's a shame to be a businessman. ”

"Hehehe, it's a pity you're not. Or maybe I'm really interested. Li Xuechu said with a smile.

"You're really interested, it's not difficult." Xu Fei said: "Jin Sheng knows the president of CUHK. As long as you talk to him, he will naturally help you pass the words. I don't think people will refuse, after all, your fame and status are here, and it is undesirable for him. Why don't I tell you about it? ”

"Ahem, no, no, no, how can I have time to be a teacher?" Li Xuechu was embarrassed and refused.

"It won't take much time, it's a guest, just take the time to take two classes, the time is up to you." Xu Fei was interested.

"I'll talk about that later. Today, let's talk about the manuscript. "Li Xuechu is a little wolf. When you pretend to be a master outside the world, it's okay to pretend, and if you really want to open a hall to be a mentor, you don't have Ma Yun's confidence, and you can still hide. After all, masters are low-key.

"That's a shame." Xu Fei sighed, but he didn't dwell on this matter anymore.

Li Xuechu found Ming Pao to serialize it again this time, in fact, to test the acceptance of soft science fiction themes in Xiangjiang. After all, when people nowadays think of science fiction, they think more of spaceships, aliens and the like. If you use the sign of science fiction to do publicity, after the release, the audience will not have a scene to look forward to. Feeling deceived, it is also a lot of damage to the company's reputation.

It's a good idea to try it out in advance in the form of a novel. One strange thing is that movies that are spoiled may affect the box office, but movies based on novels are less affected by 'spoilers'. Audiences who have read the novel are still enthusiastic about the film. Of course, those who haven't seen it will not be affected.

"I don't think there's anything to say about the manuscript, the subject matter is quite novel, and the story is good. In my personal opinion, it is a very good work, and it depends on the reader's reaction. Xu Fei smiled: "I think we should be optimistic." After all, Ni Mad's science fiction series is still quite popular at the moment, and I feel that the quality of your book is better. ”

"I hope so." I don't know what it took to understand the popular aesthetics of the 80s.

"Huh. What do you have to worry about, anyway, you don't eat by writing novels. ”

"I plan to adapt it into a movie in the future, if the novel is not popular, the end of the movie may not be good, do you think I should be worried?"

"Then don't worry, you don't rely on movies to eat."

"Ugh." Li Xuechu was speechless. This is true, whether it is finance or industry, there is much more money than movies. Even within the studio, anime-driven toy sales generate more money than live-action movies. From an economic point of view, although movies make a lot of money, they are still reduced to chicken ribs.

"My personal favorite. Some people like to bet on horses and play mahjong, some people like to play golf, so I like to write scripts and make movies. It's always a pleasure. ”

Xu Fei smiled: "This hobby is good, speaking of which, I am also a loyal fan of yours." ”

"I'm not a director, nor am I a movie star, what kind of fan are you?"

"Screenwriters can't have fans? Whether the movie is good or not starts with the screenwriter, and no matter how good the script is, the director and actor can't save it. Your script is well-known in Xiangjiang, but except for a few big guys, it is estimated that no one is embarrassed to ask you for a script. ”

"Hehe, it's all like you think."

It will be difficult for screenwriters to come out in the future, let alone now. I'm an outlier.

"I haven't seen your new work for more than a year, and I didn't expect to be called by your big boss today. Li Sheng, are you interested in writing a few more? I miss the old days. Since you stopped writing, the sales of our newspaper have slowly declined, and it is sad to think about it. ”

This is a half-joke, Li Xuechu's success has also driven some people to take the road of literature, and many newcomers have emerged over a period of time, and some works have been adapted into scripts by film companies, which has injected a pool of clear water into the film circle where plagiarism has become popular. There were more submissions, and there was no significant decline in newspaper sales. But the big climate is not yet.

"Look at the market, if someone sees me, I'll write more."

Xu Fei shook his head dissatisfiedly: "You have been a businessman for a long time, and you are now utilitarian." Didn't you say that you were interested in it? Even if it's not popular, it doesn't mean that the work can't work. ”

"Huh? Hehe, really. Li Xuechu smiled slightly embarrassedly: "Habit has become natural." But I actually had this in mind at the beginning, and if no one reads the work, it will be a real torment for the writer. ”

"It's easy to block the way if you think about this too much, and it's hard to go further."

Li Xuechu shrugged: "I don't plan to be a writer, it's enough for ordinary readers to like it." ”

In fact, I also miss the time when I used to write books and earn manuscript fees. Thinking about my own experience, it feels like playing an online game, and now I am at a high level, dressed in a god costume, and full of ambition. can recall the situation when the rookie era went out with a wooden sword and a single coat, in fact, there was another kind of fun, or the enthusiasm at the beginning was higher than now. Although the manuscript fee that made me ecstatic at the time is now on the ground, I am afraid that I am too lazy to bend down to pick it up.

"But you're right, anyway, there are few things to do during this time, so I'll go back and think of a few more stories, so that readers won't forget me."

Xu Fei was satisfied: "This idea is good, so when do you plan to deliver it?" ”

"I'll send it to you when I'm done, I don't even have a clue yet." Although I miss the old days, I don't want to experience the pain of being urged to do it again.

Xu Fei didn't take him seriously, and now it was a surprise to receive his manuscript again. As for the manuscript fees that are usually used to pressure the author, people don't care anymore.

To be rich is to be capricious. (To be continued......)

ps: Thank you huanhui for the monthly pass, I haven't had a monthly pass for a long time. There is also an update ticket for Jay 552, but it's a pity to live up to it. I feel that there are no fewer things to do during the Spring Festival than when I go to work, although I drink and play cards and the like
