Chapter 8 Zhu Xian

"Whew"

With a long sigh of relief, he put down the paper and pen, and Guan Moyu lay back on the bed full of aroma.

Turning his head to look at Zhang Ya who opened the novel again next to him, Guan Moyu had a clear understanding of this woman, not only in legends, but also in the shadow of Zhao Yazhi in another world.

Zhang Ya is Zhang Ya, not Zhao Yazhi!

To put it bluntly, with Zhang Ya, the psychological pressure is not ordinary, even as a reborn person, Guan Moyu has had the mind of staying away from each other several times.

Because of her dream of traveling around the world, she became a flight attendant, and after two years of work, when she was about to be promoted, she found that being a flight attendant could not realize her dream of traveling the world, so she gave up decisively, and she was only eighteen years old at that time.

After that, she participated in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant and made her debut, and successively starred in classic dramas such as "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", "Fa Qian Han", "Crazy Robbery", "Chu Liuxiang", "Shanghai Tang", etc., and became the highest-paid female star in Hong Kong and even Asia.

If that doesn't mean anything, it's pretty clear that the woman next to her has completed all the university courses on her own, and is fluent in six languages: Cantonese, English, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and Korean.

Sometimes, Guan Moyu even wonders whether he is a traverser or the woman next to him is a traverser.

In any case, the woman next to her is definitely an out-and-out genius, even if she is not an actor and devotes herself to other careers, she can also become the character who stands at the top of the Golden Tower.

"It's a pity." Guan Moyu shook his head and looked at Zhang Ya with a sigh.

He sighed not for the woman next to him, but for the white lady in another world, got married early, gave birth to two children successively, then divorced, and finally even died for the sake of the family, even so, that woman still became a palace-level artist and won many honors.

If there is no marriage and childbirth, Guan Moyu believes that the other party will definitely become a legendary female star in Asia and even the world.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Ya raised her head and looked at Guan Moyu suspiciously: "What are you sighing for?" Isn't the novel very well written? ”

"Nothing." Guan Moyu cleaned up his mood and asked, "I've watched it no less than five or six times, give me an evaluation?" ”

"Yes"

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Ya said: "Betraying life is extremely noble!" ”

With a look of surprise on his face, Guan Moyu couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, sure enough, he can't be compared with some people, he is just a layman, and he can't even be literary and artistic.

"I know you're educated, but you don't have to show off in front of a rough person like me." With a sarcastic remark, Guan Moyu asked solemnly, "How is it?" Is there a way to put this novel in the newspaper and magazine, and I can have some money to pay the rent and food, and by the way, I will settle the money for hiring you to take care of me. ”

"Not serious." Glancing at Guan Moyu, Zhang Ya stood up confidently, "Leave it to me, I'll go to Ming Pao to take a look at it in a while, I have met with Mr. Commission a few times to see if he is willing to serialize novels." ”

"Commission?" Guan Moyu looked at Zhang Ya thoughtfully.

"No, Mr. Commission is a grandmaster-level character in martial arts novels, don't tell me that you haven't read his novels such as "Dragon Babu" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Zhang Yaqiao showed a surprised look on her face, staring at Guan Moyu with the eyes of a rare animal.

"Sure enough." Guan Moyu secretly understood, but he thought that this martial arts novel grandmaster-level character was very stingy in another world, and this world had such a pen name, obviously if he wanted to get more manuscript fees, he didn't want to think about it.

However, Guan Moyu did not object, his main purpose now is to accumulate popularity, and as for making money, he will talk about it later.

After talking for a few more words, Guan Moyu hesitated for a moment, and then said with some hesitation: "If you have time, you can go to my house to help me tell my parents, I won't be going back recently." ”

"En" Guan Moyu muttered: "Let's just say that I got a job, but I won't go back because I'm very busy, don't tell them about the injury." ”

"Yes, tell me the address, and I'll stop by in the afternoon." Zhang Ya put the manuscript into a file bag and pretended to be casual.

After getting along for half a month, she didn't hear the slightest family information in the other party's mouth, and she naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity, in order to avoid Guan Moyu's regrets, after asking the address, she went out directly with the file bag.

Listening to the sound of the door closing, Guan Moyu couldn't help rubbing his hand against his chin and muttering: "I'm really very insidious, even the benefactor takes advantage of it." ”

The reason why he put the other party's name in the author's column, in addition to the reasons mentioned earlier, did not have the idea of using the other party's huge fame to sell himself, of course, doing so is destined to be labeled as Zhang Ya, which is a little hindering for him in the future, but after all, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

"A "Legend of Wukong" has initially opened up popularity, so the next step is to consolidate popularity." Guan Moyu made a decision in his heart, took the pen, and wrote the word 'Zhu Xian' on a piece of paper.

Originally, after writing "The Legend of Wukong", he was going to write "Tomb of the Gods", but considering Zhang Ya, he finally chose "Zhu Xian", which was more difficult to write.

After making this choice, Guan Moyu also knew that the next "Zhu Xian" was different from "The Legend of Wukong", and it was likely that he would have to give up his dominant position, after all, novels like "Zhu Xian" were really not what he was good at, and if he insisted on writing it, it would probably ruin the novel

Looking up at the building in front of her, Zhang Ya, who was wearing sunglasses, walked into the hall with her legs raised.

"Hello? Who are you looking for? ”

"My surname is Zhang, and I made an appointment with Mr. Cha."

"It turned out to be Miss Zhang, please go this way, Mr. Cha has already instructed, if you come, I will take you directly to his office."

"I'm tired."

Three minutes later, Zhang Ya, led by the female receptionist, went to the office of Mr. Cha, who is a major shareholder of Ming Pao, that is, the pseudonym commission.

"Bumper"

"Please come in." A deep, deep male voice emanates from the office.

"Mr. Cha, Miss Zhang has arrived."

waved his hand and signaled, and after the female receptionist closed the door, Zha Liangyong, who was over fifty years old, stood up with a smile and said, "Miss Zhang, why do you have time to come to me?" You may be seated. ”

"I'm going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and I hope Mr. Cha won't be weird." Zhang Ya smiled and took off her sunglasses and sat down opposite the other party.

"Tea or coffee?"

"Tea will do."

"How's Biluochun? It's my treasure. ”

"Thank you."

After a few polite words to each other, Zhang Ya handed the file bag to the other party and said with a smile: "This is a short story I wrote with my friends, and I want to ask Mr. Cha for help and guidance." ”

Zha Liangyong was not surprised at all, obviously mentally prepared, or rather, it was basically this kind of thing to find him.

took the file bag, took out the original manuscript of the novel from it, looked at the two words Zhang Ya behind the author, and couldn't help but show a gleam in his eyes, didn't say anything, took the reading glasses on the side, and looked at it carefully.

"Is "The Legend of Wukong" a Journey to the West?"

"Huh?!"

"It's a bit of a flavor!"

At first, it was a little slow and unelaborate, but as the introduction was read, the whole person became solemn, and after reading the first chapter, the old face had already shown a touch of solemnity.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes!"

Closing the original manuscript of the novel, Zha Liangyong changed three evaluations in a row, which shows the importance and appreciation of "The Legend of Wukong" in his heart.

"Nice short story." Raising his head and muttering for a moment, Zha Liangyong spoke: "Fifty words in a thousand words, put it in Ming Pao for serialization." ”

Pursing her lips covertly, Zhang Ya believed the rumor.

In Hong Kong, there is a rumor that the stingy writer in front of her is that the talented female writer Yishu wanted to increase her salary, and the one in front of her gave her a HK$1 increase, and she left Ming Pao angrily.

And there are four great talents, the same is Yishu's brother Ni Kuang, and the one in front of him is very good, other newspapers offer a salary of 500 words per 1,000, but here is only 400 words, if it weren't for Ni Kuang's very good relationship with the person in front of him, plus he was supported by him at the beginning, he would have run away from Ming Pao like his sister.

Although I don't care about the remuneration, Zhang Ya, who should be fighting, will still fight for it: "Sixty words in a thousand words, don't use my reputation to promote." ”

"Huh?!"

The abacus in his heart was revealed on the spot, and his old face couldn't help but stiffen, but thinking of the other party's fame, Zha Liangyong could only relax: "Eighty words in a thousand words." ”

"One hundred and two thousand words, whatever you want."

"One Hundred and One"

"One Hundred and Two"

"One Hundred and Eleven"

resisted the urge to roll her eyes, looking at the old man in front of her, Zhang Ya had the urge to leave directly, but after thinking about it, she dispelled the idea, she couldn't swallow this breath, and immediately said: "One hundred and nineteen, if you bargain again, I will leave directly." ”

After pondering for a moment, looking at the resoluteness on Zhang Ya's face, Zha Liangyong relieved his mouth and said, "Yes, it's just one hundred and nineteen words." ”

After negotiating the remuneration, everything was much simpler, after signing the contract, plus the whole novel was here, Zhang Ya got a remuneration of 19,754 Hong Kong dollars on the spot.

"It's a pleasure to work together, and I hope there will be opportunities to work together in the future." Zha Liangyong said politely with a smile.

"Definitely, definitely." Zhang Yaqiang said with a smile, after speaking, she quickly left Ming Pao after saying hello, she swore that she would never come to Ming Pao again in the future, especially not to talk to the above about the remuneration, otherwise she would be angry to death.

Turning her head to look at the building in front of her, Zhang Ya showed a strange expression on her face: "If it is any guy who comes, he will definitely turn around and leave." ”

After complaining, he took out the address he had written down at home and drove towards Causeway Bay.
