Chapter 23 Ming Pao

Shangguan Xiaobao still had his usual elegant bearing at this time, he almost went out with Zhao Chen, and went straight to the location of the Ming Pao Group.

"Uncle Shangguan, I'll leave by myself, so don't pull me." Zhao Chen had a wry smile on his face, he really couldn't understand why Shangguan Xiaobao was so anxious.

Shangguan Xiaobao hurriedly let go of his hand, with an embarrassed expression on his face, but he still said in his mouth: "Zhao Chen, if it's not necessary for a while, let me talk to that stingy ghost about the remuneration, otherwise you will suffer a big loss against him!" He is likely to give you a minimum newcomer remuneration of 5o yuan per thousand words, which is the lowest treatment for newcomers, but you are different, you already have a little fame, not to mention, the novel you write is quite good, how can it only be worth this price! So, after a while, Uncle Shangguan will talk to that stingy ghost, you just stay on the side, don't talk, the stingy ghost is shrewd, and the fat man in Ni Box often catches his way. Only solve it in one breath, and never give him a chance to write. ”

Shangguan Xiaobao has a lot of prejudice against Jin Yong, which is all angry, every time he asks Jin Yong to buy the adaptation rights of the novel, but every time he returns in vain, and all the adaptation rights flow into the hands of his opponent Huang Yulang. Even if a person with a good temper can't hold on to many times, he will naturally suffer more anger.

"I see!" Zhao Chen nodded suspiciously, but his heart was happy, his purpose in finding Shangguan Xiaobao was to increase his remuneration for the novel, but he didn't expect Shangguan Xiaobao to have such a big grudge against Jin Yong, and when he saw that his goal was achieved instantly, Zhao Chen was naturally overjoyed in his heart.

In the 70s, Xiangjiang was the most prosperous era of newspapers, and no one expected that the palm-sized Xiangjiang Peninsula would have nearly 7o newspapers at the same time. After fierce competition and survival of the fittest, there were only 55 newspapers left in 1982 and 38 in 1997.

In other words, based on the total population of Xiangjiang and the total number of newspapers at that time, almost every two and a half Xiangjiang people would buy a newspaper, which is second only to the island countries in Asia.

Shangguan Xiaobao has been to the Ming Pao Group many times, so he is naturally familiar with the road, and took Zhao Chen directly into the Ming Pao Group.

Maybe Shangguan Xiaobao came here too many times, and many staff members of the Ming Pao Group greeted him one after another. Although Shangguan Xiaobao doesn't like Jin Yong, he is a good man and never takes the initiative to offend people, but responds to them one by one.

"Xiao Zhang, is Editor-in-Chief Pan Yuesheng here?" Shangguan Xiaobao immediately cut to the topic after greeting the staff with pockmarked faces in front of him, and he didn't go to Jin Yong by name, because that would be a bit cheap, he hoped that Pan Yuesheng, editor-in-chief of "Ming Pao Supplement", would pass on the news, and the bargaining chip was naturally Zhao Chen's "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".

The young man who was called Xiao Zhang by Shangguan Xiaobao hurriedly nodded and said, "You said that Editor-in-Chief Pan, he is in the office now, and he can go directly with your identity." ”

"In this case, then we will go over first, and we won't bother you!"

Shangguan Xiaobao nodded kindly, and walked towards one of the offices with Zhao Chen.

The door of the office was hidden, Shangguan Xiaobao did not push the door directly, but knocked gently, he has always set an example, and he also hopes that others can do this, because he knows very well the consequences of breaking into someone else's room without knocking. No matter how good the owner of the room is, it is inevitable that he will be a little unhappy.

"Please come in!" An old voice with a little hoarse came out of the room, and Shangguan Xiaobao walked into the room with Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen followed behind Shangguan Xiaobao, and after entering the room, he kept looking at the room with his peripheral eyes.

This room is not large, the decoration is simple, except for a few calligraphy and paintings on the wall, only the desk and chair are left.

There are a large number of texts neatly piled up on the desk, and an old man in his sixties is wearing reading glasses, looking at the copywriting on the table with his body stooped, and from time to time he moves a few times with the pen in his hand, looking very attentive, thinking that he is Mr. Pan Yuesheng.

Pan Yuesheng thought that it was a staff member who came in, so he didn't look up, still concentrating on checking the copywriting on the desktop.

Shangguan Xiaobao didn't speak, he knew Pan Yuesheng's temperament, so naturally he wouldn't disturb him at this time, because Pan Yuesheng hated it most when others disturbed him when he was concentrating on his work, even if that person was Jin Yong.

Zhao Chen is naturally not stupid, he has always been very clever, and because of the experience of his previous life, his personality does not look like a junior high school student at all, but like a young man with rich experience, but he is too calm, and his age is a little inconsistent.

Although there were remaining chairs in the room, they were all plastic chairs piled together, and if the plastic chairs were pulled out, they would inevitably make a noise, so the two of them had to stand there and wait quietly for Pan Yuesheng.

After a long time, Pan Yuesheng seemed to feel that something was wrong, and couldn't help but raise his head, when he saw that it was Shangguan Xiaobao, his face was stunned, and then he said apologetically: "Brother Shangguan, I haven't seen you for a long time, why don't you say a word to my brother when you come, it's really a shame to let you stand here and wait for a long time!" Sit down, two of you, please! ”

Seeing that Pan Yuesheng wanted to get the plastic chair in the corner, Zhao Chen hurriedly stepped forward, took the lead in pulling out two of them, and put them next to the table. This small move won Pan Yuesheng's favor, and he couldn't help but look at Zhao Chen several times.

"Brother Pan, you are really old and strong!" Shangguan Xiaobao sat on the plastic chair and then spoke, without cutting to the topic all at once.

Pan Yuesheng sat back on the chair, touched the gray short beard under his chin, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Where is it so exaggerated as you say, my brother has been feeling powerless recently, and I am afraid that he will enjoy his old age in a few years." Brother Shangguan, you came here this time to fight for the right to adapt Liangyong's martial arts novels! To be honest, your chances are not great, it's not that you pay a price, but that Huang Yulang's kid is too clever and can always get into a loophole. ”

"Brother Pan, you guessed wrong this time, the purpose of my brother coming here this time is not for the right to adapt the novel, but to let you meet this junior of mine! He recently wrote a novel and was about to submit it to the newspaper! Shangguan Xiaobao smiled bitterly and shook his head, he knew his disadvantages very well, this was mainly in terms of personality, if he was a little stronger, he would not be preempted by Huang Yulang every time. After a pause, he pointed at Zhao Chen and said.

"Oh, that's a submission! But the ugly words are ahead, it's not that the old brother doesn't give you this face, if the quality is not good, the old brother will still refuse, you should also know the rules of our industry! ”

Pan Yuesheng was obviously stunned for a moment, he thought at first that Zhao Chen was just accompanying Shangguan Xiaobao to come here to see it, but he didn't expect that the main owner was this one. However, in the end, it was a scholar with decades of experience, Pan Yuesheng's reaction seemed to be very fast, and he did not see the rather young Zhao Chen clearly.

"I know this, my brother just needs to follow the procedure. Zhao Chen, take out your novel and let Brother Pan enjoy it. ”

"Yes!" Zhao Chen responded, and placed the notebook in his hand in front of Pan Yuesheng neatly, expressing neither humility nor arrogance, as if Pan Yuesheng was just a simple old man.

Zhao Chen's expression, Pan Yuesheng saw it in his eyes, and he had to secretly praise it in his heart, but he opened the notebook with both hands, and after slightly supporting the glasses on the bridge of his nose, he began to watch.

Just after a few glances, Pan Yuesheng's eyes showed a trace of essence, his face became more solemn, and he watched it unhurriedly, slowly chewing the words on it.

Shangguan Xiaobao and Zhao Chen sat there patiently, waiting quietly, and the whole room seemed extremely quiet for a while.

It didn't take long for Pan Yuesheng's degree to speed up a lot, he had just roughly understood Zhao Chen's writing, and he barely reached the top level, which was really a demon in terms of Zhao Chen's age, because the writing was almost slowly exercised.

Pan Yuesheng no longer checked the writing, but quickly read the plot, and occasionally calmed down to scrutinize, but in this case, it still took more than an hour, this is because his reading degree is much faster than ordinary people, otherwise it will take at least half a day.

"It's worthy of the work recommended by Shangguan Brother.,To put it simply, this work has no essays.、The plot and characters are described very well.,It's already a rare top-grade martial arts novel.,If it's still as brilliant as this in the middle and late stages,,It may become a martial arts classic! Your name is Zhao Chen, right, I wonder if you are interested in becoming a contracted writer of "Ming Pao"? ”
