Chapter 146: "Bright Sword" and "The Legend of Wukong" and others
Shen Zhenghui maintained a semblance of calm, and his relationship with Liu Xin was a topic that had been avoided between the two men. Liu Xin must have known about his relationship with Tomoaki Aonuma, but Liu Xin never said anything, and Shen Zhenghui pretended to be confused as if nothing had happened. Whether it is Shen Zhenghui or Liu Xin, if you go to tell each other that everyone has a marriage contract at this time, they will feel that this is an extremely inappropriate thing.
For two young people, blind date is probably an interesting thing, but it can't decide anything because of this, although the two people then started a relationship like business partners and friends, but they have always felt that their relationship with each other has not reached the intimacy of lovers, whether it is Shen Zhenghui or Liu Xin, both think so. But with the development of the careers of the two people, because their careers are so closely combined, the parents of both of them have probably subconsciously regarded each other as their own family, and even if it is not, out of consideration for the safety of property, it is an extremely legitimate requirement to become a family.
Shen Zhenghui and Liu Xin are stuck at this threshold that is not embarrassing or embarrassing, and in the Shen family, the achievements of the Liu family are all carried by their own family, but Liu Dekai is getting more and more powerful now, and the development of the Liu family far exceeds that of the Shen family; On the other hand, the Liu family thinks that your son actually abducted all my daughters to Japan, and he didn't even mention the matter of marriage, isn't this a hooligan? So Shen Zhenghui and Liu Xin are both reluctant to go home and listen to their parents give them a blow. Even if they responded to their parents' request and formed a couple, it was just the beginning of a series of troubles.
Walking into the room, the two of them consciously tried to look as normal as possible. Shen Zhenghui turned out his printed "The Legend of Wukong". There are also a lot of modifications and complaints he made on it. Some pages are also inserted with paper with sub-shots, Liu Xin was a little in love as soon as he took it, and the story described by Jin He Zai is very lethal for young people who grew up watching "Journey to the West".
"I should have shown this script to Stephen Chow." Liu Xin said while watching, "You don't care about me, we'll talk after I'm done." ”
Liu Xin said this to Shen Zhenghui also breathed a sigh of relief, he was really a little afraid that Liu Xin was going to say something embarrassing to him, seeing that Liu Xin was reading the novel seriously, Shen Zhenghui entered his room and began to call his father.
Shen Xingguo was probably still entertaining at the wine table this night. Answered his son's call. It took a long time to find a quiet place. What Shen Zhenghui said is very simple, the novel "Bright Sword" was published in January this year, but no one cared about it, and the author also uploaded the novel to the starting point novel network. What Shen Zhenghui said to his father was to find the author. Buy TV rights.
"That's what you're talking to me about?" Shen Xingguo felt a little incredible. "Me and Mr. Liu of Hairun are drinking!"
Shen Zhenghui slapped his forehead, "It's really unfortunate." ”
"yes, can't you call during the day?" Shen Xingguo was very dissatisfied. "Call at night and talk about work? I ask you, who is your girlfriend now? If you find a Japanese woman to come back, you can see that I won't smoke you to death. Okay, I know, "Bright Sword", right, I'll just go to the publishing house and ask when the time comes. ”
"Don't mention the book "Bright Sword" to Hairun's boss." Shen Zhenghui instructed.
"What do you say?" Shen Xingguo was very unhappy, "They are all mixed in the circle, do you think that I can afford to make a TV series by myself, I have to rely on the help of others, but I am the boss in this circle." Alright, your dad doesn't need you to teach. Shen Xingguo put down the phone.
Shen Zhenghui regretted it so much that he wanted to shoot himself to death. Calm down, he turned on the computer, and began to log in to several of his own websites in China, starting point novel network, comic network, etc., these websites are still in a state of burning money, but have shown a thriving scene, although the era of online novels for young men and women in literature has not passed, but a variety of new types, online novels with a wide range of themes have begun to gradually exert force, and literature lovers have begun to use the first person to bring themselves into their own stories, This is still a series of imitations after watching too much Jin Yong Gulong Huang Yi.
Shen Zhenghui doesn't see too many familiar titles on the recommendation page of the website, and the pathfinders of the Internet novel era are just starting to hit the road. In this current era, Huang Yi's fame still shrouds the vast majority of martial arts novel lovers, and the reason why many book stations can be opened is because scanning and reprinting Huang Yi's "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" on the Internet is faster than renting a bookstore. Taiwan's pioneers were ahead of this era, and Shen Zhenghui spent a lot of money to build the starting point, which was just one of several popular fiction websites at this time. Shen Zhenghui clearly remembers that in his previous life, it was not until around 2003 that he saw the ending of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", which was really a painful experience.
Shen Zhenghui knows that this situation will not last long, and the current Internet era is still a cheap sharing era, and writers gain more from uploading works on the Internet than economic benefits. He touched his chin, remembered a lot of things, and wrote down his thoughts in the notebook he had at hand. Buying the foreign language copyright of "The Legend of Wukong", buying the copyright of comics, animation, and film adaptations, thinking of this, he put a circle on the name of "The Legend of Wukong", and then added the name of the starting point, indicating that this series of actions are implemented through the intermediary of the starting point, so as to make a noise for his website, and then he wrote down the word Japan, thought about it, and finally felt that it was better to come forward with the spring of Guò, as for book publishing, he could consider cooperating with Kadokawa Bunko, and just thinking about it, his door was knocked open.
Liu Xin stared at Shen Zhenghui excitedly, "What's going on with this ending?" Liu Xin exclaimed, "It's not reasonable at all!" Wukong and Zixia are not together! Goku is actually dead! ”
Shen Zhenghui rubbed his nose, "Wukong and Zixia are not together in "Journey to the West"! ”
"My point is that Sun Wukong is actually dead!"
"Well, what a joy to be born. Why bother to die. Shen Zhenghui said casually.
"Did you even listen to what I'm saying?" Liu Xin walked to Shen Zhenghui's side, and immediately saw what he wrote casually in his notebook, "What is this?" Liu Xin glanced at it, saw comics, animation, copyright, and couldn't help but pout, "Are you really going to make this thing?" ”
"I have to give it a try," Shen Zhenghui said, "and finally have a local story." ”
"Can you make it?" Liu Xin asked curiously.
"I'm going to ask you!" Shen Zhenghui said, "You can do a real thing on the Japanese now and see if they like it." ”
"Nope. I'm asking you, can you make a movie? Liu Xin tilted his head. Is the live-action version too difficult, isn't it? ”
Shen Zhenghui pressed the root of the bridge of his nose, "Are you interested?" ”
"Quite yes," Liu Xin put "The Legend of Wukong" on Shen Zhenghui's table. "But first. To translate it into Japanese. ”
Shen Zhenghui slapped his forehead. "It's a bit more troublesome, though," he said, remembering the site of the Tower of Babel. This is the most money-burning website under Mitsumi Fukuda, after all, the price of professional translation is there, and if you just rely on interest to do work, it can't last long after all. "Sure enough, at this time, the role of the platform is revealed?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Well, I'm saying don't worry, we'll be able to see it in Japanese soon, and before that, I'll do one thing." Shen Zhenghui said while skillfully opening the mailbox and began to write an email to the master of the starting point Chinese website. He has always not interfered in the daily operation of these websites, and only formulates big policies and strategies, but at this time, it seems that he can do something to add fuel to the fire for the work "The Legend of Wukong".
"What are you doing?" Liu Xin pulled up a chair and sat down next to Shen Zhenghui, watching him write to the editor-in-chief of the website.
"Since we have bought the rights, we will do enough publicity by the way," Mr. Shen said, "and tomorrow I will ask Nazumi Horiguchi to send a letter to Kadokawa Shoten and ask them if they are interested in publishing this Chinese work." When he came back to his senses after speaking, he was stunned to find that Liu Xin was at a considerable distance from him.
Liu Xin didn't seem to be aware of anything, "I think this work is very good and can be popular." "I think CLAMP would be a good fit for the style of this work, why don't you talk to them about an adaptation?" ”
"It's up to you," Shen Zhenghui turned his face back to look at the computer unnaturally, "If they can accept this job, of course it would be good." ”
Liu Xin nodded.
"I'll print another manuscript for you," Shen Zhenghui said, "less than a hundred pages, soon, anyway, the Japanese copyright of this book will definitely be in our hands, comics, animation, etc., don't worry about other problems at all." ”
"I feel like I have to worry about being unpopular." Liu Xin said, "It's hard to choose an independent theme, don't mess up." She stared at Shen Zhenghui's face seriously, "But although 'Rebellious Lelouch' is also your work, the backstory is all Japanese," she pouted, "Do you think it's not easy to write about the Chinese background to be censored?" ”
Shen Zhenghui finally couldn't stand the distance in the end, he stood up and paced two steps in the room. Then he turned to look at Liu Xin, "I just think it's fun to write about Japanese people, but if I put it in China, I don't think the characters can be so interesting." Of course," he spread his hands, "I couldn't control Chinese stories, characters, or anything at that time, so it was better to write a few patients with secondary and secondary diseases, at least it was very simple." ”
"CLAMP LOVES THE STORY." Liu Xin said.
Of course they like it, and that's what they do. Shen Zhenghui vomited in his heart, this can only slowly compensate these amazing authors in the future, and Shen Zhenghui also felt a little guilty.
The two of them fell silent at the same time, and the atmosphere in the whole room was a little awkward.
It took a long time for Shen Zhenghui to feel that it was really undeserving for him as a master to keep not talking, so he asked, "It's too late, do you want me to send you back?" ”
Liu Xin hung her head, motionless, and did not speak, and then Shen Zhenghui saw big tears fall on her pants, followed by Liu Xin's low sobs.
No way? Shen Zhenghui said to himself in his heart, and then he immediately leaned down and tried to pull Liu Xin's shoulder, "What's wrong?" He asked, "Why did you cry all of a sudden?" ”
Liu Xin's shoulders twisted and broke away from Shen Zhenghui's hand. The original sobbing turned into a howling cry, and then she threw herself into Shen Zhenghui's arms, hugging Shen Zhenghui's neck, and tears fell on Shen Zhenghui's shoulders.
Shen Zhenghui's two hands didn't know where to put them, he pursed his lips, not knowing whether to take the opportunity to wrap his arms around Liu Xin's shoulders or try to hold down her shoulders and push her face away from his shoulders, and in the end he didn't do anything, just kept repeating, "What's wrong?" What the hell is going on? Who bullied you? ”
"Woo woo woo ......" Liu Xin couldn't stop at all. Her chest was tightly pressed against Shen Zhenghui's chest, making Shen Zhenghui feel a palpitation. The two have never been so close. This feeling made Shen Zhenghui feel a little dizzy, and at the same time a little dry mouth. During this period of single life, the desire and excitement suppressed by work were also stimulated by Liu Xin's crying at this moment.
Endure. Shen Zhenghui said to himself. He still reached out and hugged Liu Xin. Pull her up and stand. Then moved to the side of the bed, the two of them sat on the bed with difficulty, and Shen Zhenghui patted Liu Xin on the back. "Okay, don't cry, just say something."
Liu Xin finally let go of Shen Zhenghui, and his eyes were already as red as rabbits.
"Am I stupid, you say?" The corners of her mouth drooped, and she pouted as if she was angry, but her face was full of tears, and she looked pitiful.
"Why do you say that?" Shen Zhenghui leaned back slightly.
Liu Xin lowered her head, "I obviously knew that you had a relationship with that actress." ”
Ah, finally said it? For a while, Shen Zhenghui's heart tightened, but immediately there was a sense of relaxation, and he always had to face it when it came to the end, didn't he? No matter what the situation is, what you need to do at this time is to listen carefully to the other person's ideas and avoid the worst outcome.
Shen Zhenghui looked at Liu Xin without blinking, pursed his lips vigorously, and made himself look like he didn't have a strange expression, just a serious listen.
Liu Xin laughed again, "I'm really stupid!" "I didn't go to her and beat her, and I didn't question you." ”
Shen Zhenghui's eyes drooped, "It's all a man's problem." He said.
"yes, it's all men's problems." Liu Xin repeated, "You at least admit it, to be honest, seeing you with her, I actually think it's good for the two of you to be together." ”
Shen Zhenghui opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something but closed it again.
"Do you want to smug me when I fell in love with you?" Liu Xin noticed the change in Shen Zhenghui's expression and asked.
"I'm not smug," Shen Zhenghui pursed his lips, "this situation between us," he paused, "I'm very sorry. ”
"Why are you sorry?" Liu Xin asked rhetorically, "What do you have to be sorry for?" ”
Shen Zhenghui took a deep breath.
"It should be that I'm sorry," Liu Xin continued to say to herself, "I should be grateful to meet you, because of you, I'm now engaged in the career I like, and I can't imagine the achievements I have made before," her face revealed her sincerity, "This qiē is all because I met you, I can't think that you belong to me just because I met you earlier than others." She paused, "What's more, someone met you earlier." ”
"You're talking about Mitsumi Fukuda? She's just my classmate, and there's nothing between me and her. Shen Zhenghui frowned and said.
"It doesn't matter anymore." Liu Xin took a deep breath, "After all, the most failed person is me, you actually let me find out that I can't do without you, everything I have achieved is tied to you, if I let go of you, I will have to give up the one in my hand now." ”
"It's not so strict," Shen Zhenghui patted her on the shoulder, "Everything you have achieved is the result of your own efforts, not something I gave you." ”
"No," Liu Xin shook his head, "I don't have that confidence. ”
"What?"
"I don't have the confidence to continue to achieve after leaving you." She looked at Shen Zhenghui's face seriously and said word by word.
Shen Zhenghui was a little confused.
Liu Xin hugged Shen Zhenghui tightly again, leaned into his ear and whispered, "So...... Please don't let go of me, please let me always be there for you, in whatever capacity. ”
Shen Zhenghui was a little stunned.
Then Liu Xin opened his mouth and bit Shen Zhenghui's ear.
Shen Zhenghui, who had been holding back for three months, couldn't stand this stimulation anymore, although reason was still reminding him, but his body's reaction had already preceded rational action. Coupled with Liu Xin's very cooperativeness, what the two of them did was as if it was a matter of course, and her tears were not in vain.
……
After the whole process was over, Shen Zhenghui sighed a little, his mentality at this time was very different from before, he still had an inexplicable sense of guilt when he woke up from sleeping with Qingnuma Zhizhao, and seeing Liu Xin's tearful eyes at this time, Shen Zhenghui felt that he was a lot duller, and there was a tendency to evolve to scum.
Reaching out and touching Liu Xin's face, Shen Zhenghui said, "Don't worry, I will do things in the future, you just have to concentrate on what you want to do." ”
Liu Xin nodded obediently.
Shen Zhenghui felt that he couldn't sleep, so he got up to pack his clothes, and at the same time prepared to take a shower, he picked up his clothes, walked to the door, and then turned around, "Why don't you go take a shower first?" ”
Liu Xin covered herself with a quilt, "You go first!" She said.
Shen Zhenghui looked at her somewhat shy appearance and nodded, "Okay." He shrugged his shoulders.
Putting Liu Xin's clothes on the edge of the bed, he was stopped by Liu Xin when he just walked out of the door, "Zhenghui," Liu Xin pursed his lips, his face was complicated, "I don't care about other people." She said as she bit her lip. (To be continued......)
