Chapter Seventy-Five: Wen Rui Pressed
Zhao Chen's life has become calm again, there are not too many waves, due to too many debts, in addition to work or work every day, even if he goes to see Zhou Huimin, it is just a routine, it can be said that he is a combination of a workaholic and two stunned.
But on this day, the arrival of a phone call gave Zhao Chen a chance, because the person who made this call was Jin Yong.
"Mr. Jin, I don't know how that thing happened?"
"You see I've called you, naturally it's done, he's in the Ming Pao Group now, you kid better come over quickly."
"Okay, I'll go over here!"
Zhao Chen's face was full of smiles, as long as this matter was done, then part of the burden on him could be reduced, and his plan would be able to be further developed at that time.
This is the result of the negotiation when I went to Jin Yong last time, in order to find a writer with good writing to write "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Zhao Chen thought about it, and then left Jin Yong with the name of a martial arts writer and asked Jin Yong to help.
And more than half a month has passed since this request, so that Zhao Chen almost forgot about it, and it was not until today that there was finally news.
"It's good to be in Ming Pao Group, at least a little sure! As long as you hand him the outline of the novel "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", you only need to review it to save a lot of time! ”
When Zhao Chen was thinking about various plans, he unconsciously came to the Ming Pao Group, only to meet a big fat man who made him unhappy.
"Humph!" As soon as Ni Huan saw Zhao Chen, he couldn't help but snort coldly, perhaps knowing that he was not Zhao Chen's opponent in terms of scolding, so he planned to walk away and stay away from this guy who made him deflated.
"Hey, I just heard the sound of a pig, where is it!" Zhao Chen looked left and right, as if he was looking for something.
"You're a pig!"
Ni Frame's fat body trembled, and he pointed at Zhao Chen and scolded.
"Only a pig would say that, and I was talking about you just now, it's really inexplicable!"
Zhao Chen ignored Ni Frame and walked directly into the Ming Pao Group, leaving Ni Frame alone in the Ming Pao Group to vent his sulk, but he was helpless, and finally left angrily.
Zhao Chen doesn't have much ill feeling towards Ni Frame, but if someone provokes him, he won't let him feel better, this is his character. What's more, Zhao Chen was quite unhappy to see Ni Zhen's son Ni Zhen in his previous life, this guy is a material who has been abandoned from the beginning to the end and eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambled, and Zhou Huimin in the future is undoubtedly a tragedy.
Zhao Chen retracted his thoughts, since he has come to this era, he can naturally change the trajectory of some people's lives, and as long as his ability is greater in the future, the greater the history that can be changed, and then change the original trajectory of more people. And this time when he came to Ming Pao Group, Zhao Chen, in addition to achieving his goal, was to change that person's fate.
In Kim Yong's office, in addition to Kim Yong, there was another man who looked to be in his thirties.
The man had a round face and big ears, glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked quite elegant, and he was talking to Jin Yong at this time.
"Mr. Jin, when will Zhao Chen come over?"
"Well, I don't know, I think I'll come over soon, Mr. Wen doesn't have to be anxious!"
Knock knock!
Just as the two were talking, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Jin Yong hurriedly shouted to please come in.
Zhao Chen opened the door of the office, entered the room, glanced at the two people inside, and finally set his eyes on the man, he was Zhao Chen's target this time.
"Presumably this is Mr. Wen Ruiping, he really admires his name for a long time!"
This man is Wen Rui, who is known as Jin Guliang Wen Huang in later generations, and his masterpiece is naturally the well-known "Four Famous Catches". Of course, Wen Rui at this time was not as famous as later generations, and his influence was limited to Treasure Island.
Wen Rui's writing is extraordinary, otherwise he would not have the achievements of later generations, but he is also ill-fated, if he keeps following this trajectory, Wen Rui will be detained in the Judge Advocate General's Prison in less than a year, and finally deported.
Covered with this kind of injustice, Wen Rui was so popular in his hometown in Singapore and Malaysia that he couldn't stay for a long time, and began to live a life of exile. Even when he came to Xiangjiang, it coincided with the tightening of the immigration policy by the Hong Kong government, even if he failed to apply several times, and he was strictly refused to go to Taiwan, and finally he could only wander and wander, which was extremely unlucky for Wen Rui in those years.
Zhao Chen knows very well how many catties and taels he has, maybe he is no worse than Wen Rui at this time in terms of fame, but it is difficult to invite him, and it is precisely because of this that Zhao Chen used Jin Yong's relationship. Jin Yong also had no choice, he was afraid that Zhao Chen would stop publishing "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", which was not good news for "Ming Pao", so he had no choice but to do his best to invite Wen Rui from Treasure Island, which led to the current scene.
"Presumably this is Mr. Zhao Chen, the author of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", I didn't expect to be so young and promising, it's really better to see than to hear!"
Wen Rui was polite, Zhao Chen's current reputation is no worse than him, and his ability to absorb gold is even better, even if he is arrogant in his bones, he will not stand out in front of Zhao Chen and Jin Yong.
"Mr. Wen is really polite, let's sit down and talk!"
Zhao Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as Wen Rui did not show a domineering appearance, it meant that there was hope for success.
After the two sat down, in order to increase the success rate, Zhao Chen talked about him left and right, and chatted with Wen Rui from south to north.
For a writer, imaginative thinking plays a very important role, and Wen Rui, as a well-known martial arts novelist, is not narrow-minded, but it is undoubtedly much weaker than Zhao Chen from later generations. Many of them were things that Wen Rui did not expect, and because of this, Wen Rui press's interest was aroused, and he had an in-depth conversation with Zhao Chen, and the atmosphere between the two became stronger.
After chatting for a while, the relationship between the two is obviously much better than before, at least they no longer look like strangers, Jin Yong, who couldn't talk on the side, was dumbfounded, and secretly said in his heart that he couldn't argue with Zhao Chen with his mouth in the future, he must use a pen!
"Mr. Zhao, I don't know what the matter is to find Wen this time?"
The two chatted for a while, Wen Rui also experienced Jin Yong's feeling at this time, Wen Rui, who usually thought that his thoughts were very jumpy, realized that he was not Zhao Chen's opponent at all, and it could be said that he had lost his armor after being killed, so he had to redirect the topic to the previous question.
"I hope Mr. Wen forgive me, I came to you this time mainly for the ghostwriting of the novel "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"!"
"What, ghostwriting!" Wen Rui stood up from his seat after listening to this, he thought of all kinds of possibilities, but he didn't expect it to be like this, how could a martial arts writer like him, who has a lot of fame, put down his contemporary pen. If Zhao Chen was his friend, it would be fine, but after all, the two met on the first day, do you think that they are not famous in Xiangjiang?
"Mr. Zhao, this ghostwriting matter is difficult to obey, you better ask another master!"
"Mr. Wen, I haven't said the conditions yet, this is also a big benefit for Mr. Wen! As long as Mr. Wen agrees, then Mr. Wen's name can be added to the future "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", which will have considerable benefits for Mr. Wen to expand his reputation! As for the remuneration, all of them will be paid to Mr. Wen, and I am willing to pay another 500,000 Hong Kong dollars! What's more, "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" will be finished as long as it is serialized for another half a year. ”
As soon as Zhao Chen's words fell, Wen Rui could be said to gasp, he didn't expect Zhao Chen to pay such a big price, and then Zhao Chen would only be able to earn from the royalties of a single book!
You must know that the current Wen Rui doesn't know if he can earn 500,000 yuan a year, but piracy is rampant on Treasure Island, and he can't earn much royalties at all, as for the market outside Treasure Island, "The Four Famous Catches" can bring him a lot of income.
Zhao Chen actually has his own thoughts in his heart, although the price paid is not small, but for him, royalties are the big one, not to mention that as long as he succeeds, he can save a lot of time. And it is not necessarily that he suffers by doing this, after all, Wen Rui still has a lot of fame in Treasure Island, and I am afraid that he will be able to drive the sales of a single book of novels at that time.
It can be said that Zhao Chen had already decided on this price before he came. As long as he succeeds, he will be able to free up a lot of time for other projects, and Wen Rui will also be able to make a name for himself in Xiangjiang, and the two can be said to be mutually beneficial.
Of course, the premise of a qiē is that Wen Rui can agree.
The price offered by Zhao Chen Wen Rui is naturally quite tempting, but it is a little difficult to make him a ghostwriter, if it is an ordinary writer, it is fine, but Wen Rui is a famous martial arts writer in the end, so he naturally needs to carefully analyze the pros and cons.
He knows that as long as he agrees, he will be able to make a name for himself in Xiangjiang in a short period of time, and when the time comes, he will also drive his novels, and at the same time, he will also become the most paid ghostwriter!
This benefit alone makes it difficult for Wen Rui to calm down in his heart, even if he is arrogant, he can't suppress it lightly, just sit on the chair and seem to be quietly sipping tea, maybe this is the trouble caused by fame, Wen Rui thought about it.
"Mr. Wen, I have decided, as long as you agree, I am willing to pay another 1% of the royalty as a reward, I wonder what Mr. Wen thinks?"
Seeing that Wen Rui was in a tangle, in order to succeed, Zhao Chen had to continue to smash with benefits. Don't look at the 1% royalty that seems to be very small, but with the hot sales of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", it is also quite expensive.
As soon as this price came out, not only Wen Rui, but even Jin Yong couldn't hide the surprise in his heart, but these costs were added together, and Wen Rui's income would reach as much as one million.
