Chapter 16 "Ming Pao" Appointment (Ask for Collection)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Jin Yong's confusion obviously did not spread to the Li family. Because at night, Li Minghui showed Li Guangxin what Li Mingbao wrote like a treasure, and Li Guangxin only said two words, even if he defined "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".
And these two words are obviously not compliments, after all, Li Guangxin can be regarded as a literati, and the biggest fault of literati is the instinctive aversion to these novel affairs. So Li Guangxin's two words are: "Nonsense." โ
For this book, Li Guangxin's feeling is indeed nonsense, writing ancient history with modern archives, if it weren't for the fact that Li Mingbao has changed very well recently, he basically doesn't have to worry about it, plus Li Mingbao is his Li Guangxin's son. Maybe Li Guangxin's comments will be even more unbearable, don't talk nonsense, even if he is a bastard, he can say something like insulting Sven. Originally, the history of Yan sรน was written like this, and the ancestors would be uneasy.
Of course, Li Guangxin's concept does not represent the thoughts of everyone in the Li family, at least Li Mingbao's brothers are still very interested in Li Mingbao's book. Even Li Mingbao's third brother, Li Minghuang, said during a meal that if the history books he read back then were like this, maybe he would have specialized in history now.
And Li Mingbao's two mothers obviously have an encouraging attitude towards Li Mingbao's book. After all, his own son can write such a book, although it is not strict, but he can indeed see the rigor of this book, not scribbling. Generally, the words strict sรน and rigorous are used together, but Li Mingbao's book is obviously not suitable for such an evaluation.
With the support of the vast majority of people in the family, Li Guangxin seemed a little lonely. Although he commented that this book was messing around, he, as a father, couldn't make such an article because the accumulation was not enough. For Li Mingbao, if he didn't know that there was such a thing as the Internet, he would definitely not believe that a young man could write such a thing more than 20 years later. As for now, as a glorious plagiarist, Li Mingbao obviously does not have too much mental burden.
When Li Mingbao said that he had sent the manuscript of the book to Ming Pao, Li Guangxin, as a father, showed a smile.
"Xiao Wu, you are giving Mr. Jin Yong a problem. It's just that this book doesn't reach Jin Yong's desk, but as long as it gets to his desk, your book can make him sleep. As a loyal reader of Ming Pao, Li Guangxin still knows a little about Jin Yong, so he made such an evaluation.
Sure enough, early the next morning, when Li Mingbao was still in the tea restaurant to catch up with the manuscript, a phone call came from Ming Pao.
When the people from Ming Pao arrived at Li Ji Tea Restaurant and introduced each other, Li Mingbao knew that the person in front of him was actually Shen Baoxing. He thought that Ming Pao would send someone over casually, but he didn't expect it to be Shen Baoxing in person. As the two pillars of Ming Pao, Shen Baoxing's status in Ming Pao is definitely not ordinary, and now that he is there in person, it proves that Ming Pao's side is not calm.
"I thought that the person who could write such an article would be a crazy student who laughed and scolded and became an article, but I didn't expect that Mr. Pujia you would be so young, it is really unimaginable, with the rigorous logic of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" will actually come from you, Mr. Do you know that it was because of your book that Mr. Cha lost sleep. As the two pillars of Ming Pao, although Shen Baoxing was very surprised by Li Mingbao's youth, he did not lose proportion in his speech.
"Really? It seems that my dad is really like a god, when I told my dad about this yesterday, he also said that Mr. Jin Yong will definitely lose sleep when he sees my article, but I didn't expect it to be true, for this, I am very sorry. I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Li Mingbao, if you don't mind, Mr. Shen, you can call me Ah Bao, my friends call me that. Li Mingbao said with a smile.
"Ling Zun is very familiar with Mr. Cha?"
He is a loyal reader of Ming Pao, so he naturally pays some attention to Mr. Jin Yong. also said that I was messing around and making trouble for Mr. Jin Yong. โ
"Indeed, your book is in great trouble for our editorial office. Because the whole editorial department didn't know how to evaluate this book, and then came to Mr. Cha's desk, Mr. Cha called me this morning, and there was a definition, Ah Leopard, do you want to know what Mr. Cha said about your book? Shen Baoxing sold Guanzi.
"I want to hear about it." Li Mingbao also followed Shen Baoxing's topic.
"Mr. Cha originally wanted to define it as a historical novel, but the novel originally represents the elements of romance and cannot be taken seriously. And Ah Bao, although your book seems frivolous, but the historical discussion has subjective assumptions, but it is not out of the main line, so historical fiction is not suitable. Biography is naturally not counted, and finally Mr. Cha came up with a word, called novel history, although it is still a little unsatisfactory, but it can also cover some range. Shen Baoxing said.
"It seems that it really makes Mr. Jin Yong nerve-wracking! By the way, this book will be published in the newspapers, right? Li Mingbao didn't want to talk much about this topic, so he diverted the topic.
"Mr. Leopard, you're telling a joke, if Ming Pao had no intention of publishing this article, I wouldn't use it today. As for your remuneration, sir, we are ready to adopt the price of 50 thousand words, which is already quite generous, which is basically equivalent to the remuneration of a university professor. Shen Baoxing said.
Hearing such a remuneration, Li Mingbao was really a little surprised, although he had long known the bottom of Ming Pao's remuneration, but he didn't expect this kind of Cheng dรน to come to the end, no wonder those people in Ming Pao asked for a salary increase, and the last person did not rise, Mr. Jin Yong's insistence, Li Mingbao saw it this time.
Fifty yuan and 1,000 words, isn't this Nima writing online articles? At such a level, it is still the remuneration of a university professor, which is like asking for my own life. Li Mingbao calculated a little, and knew that "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" was serialized in Ming Pao, and there was not much money at all.
Don't look at the words of 50, and it is in Hong Kong in this year, it seems that there is a lot of money. But the problem is that the total number of words in "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is about 1.5 million, even if it is 1.5 million words, 50 yuan for 1,000 words, and 1.5 million words is only 75,000 Hong Kong dollars, and it is not a barbecue stall to make more money in half a month.
If you want to say that you are not happy, Li Mingbao is a hundred unhappy, grandma's, writing this 1.5 million words almost didn't break Li Mingbao's hand, but it is worth such a little money, Jin Yong and Uncle Sixth are worthy of being the two major ones in Hong Kong, and they are simply handed over by a financial teacher.
But it doesn't seem to work if you don't give Ming Pao, because of this book, Li Mingbao not only wants to make money, but also wants to be famous. If the script of "Shanghai Tang" is to wait for "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" to be discussed and hotly discussed, then even the sixth uncle who picks the door will not give such a cabbage price, and this loss will be due to Li Mingbao's lack of identity. Therefore, the articles in Ming Pao have to be published even if the money is less.
Shen Baoxing may have seen too many people like Li Mingbao who want to write articles to make money, so he pretended not to see Li Mingbao's ugly face at all, but began to talk about the benefits of publishing his works in Ming Pao.
"This work of yours, to write the whole history of the Ming Dynasty, in my opinion, the number of words will definitely not be less, if it sells well in Ming Pao, then the money for publication will be a lot, the general newspaper company, but not as wide as our Ming Pao publishing channels, although the money for publishing in the newspaper is not much, but the money for publication is definitely a lot. Changing a newspaper office at any time is definitely not as wide as our Ming Pao. โ
Hearing Shen Baoxing say this, Li Mingbao suddenly realized, no wonder Ming Pao has such a low manuscript fee, but so many people want to ask for a layout, it turns out that the big head is not here in Ming Pao at all, but in the publishing house. In this way, it is not bad to publish it in Ming Pao.
With such an idea, Li Mingbao happily signed a contract with Shen Baoxing. At the end, Shen Baoxing asked again: "I don't know if you have any other works?" โ
"This is really there, some time ago, I followed the crew of "Chu Liuxiang", wrote a script about Shanghai in the thirties, and gained a martial arts novel, and now I am writing, and when I finish writing, I will give Mr. Jin Yong an axe." Li Mingbao pretended to be unintentional and said.
"Martial arts? How much has been written? "Shen Baoxing is interested, you must know that the thing that Ming Pao relies on to become famous is Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels, if there is no martial arts novel, no matter if Shen Baoxing has a thousand abilities, he may not be able to hold Ming Pao until now.
"I didn't write much, I wrote a prequel and an opening, and I've been busy lately and don't have much time." Li Mingbao said as he handed Shen Baoxing a new draft.
"Kunlun - Iron and Blood"? Shen Baoxing looked at the title of the book, and felt that it was very tasteful, then turned the book and looked at it, and then read it, and waited until the twelve chapters of the book were finished, and then he said unsatisfactorily: "If it weren't for the fact that this manuscript was seen by Ah Bao, I thought that Mr. Cha had a new work coming out, this book is written in a very stylish way, or ...... It's just with "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". โ
Hearing Shen Baoxing's mention, Li Mingbao shook his head and said, "No, this is really not good." Originally, there weren't many prequels, and the rest hadn't been written yet, and I was going to a new crew in two days, and there wasn't much time to spare, so I still had to wait for when I was free, and then I would write out this Kunlun piece, and I would give the manuscript when the time came. โ
Obviously, this is Li Mingbao's excuse, his books are plagiarism at all, and there is no time to spare, so it really doesn't have much relevance. The reason why I took out this book was to fish Shen Baoxing's appetite, and now that I have achieved my goal, I will naturally stop it. Besides, even if "Iron and Blooded" is serialized, it is not now, in the stage of a newcomer, even if the book is good, it will be lowered, not to mention the shrewd Mr. Jin Yong, it is simply intolerable not to lower the price.
Wait until "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" becomes popular and then talk about the issue of this book, so that the initiative can reach Li Mingbao's hands.
