Chapter 158: Temptation
Although he was skeptical of Mozi's attitude, serious people still believed in the farmer's prediction, and even if it was on the same level as "Red Leaves", it was a very remarkable work. The fiction version may be a little worse, but it can also be packaged through publicity.
Zhou Mo's novels are now also in charge of a special person. is also an international music master, although it has nothing to do with writing, but it is destined that every work will receive a lot of attention. Especially the main thing is that every time this guy publishes a novel, there will be corresponding music.
Contacting publishing houses and advertising in various ways is to warm up the stand-alone version of "Fire Dance", which has been done before. But this time, it seems a little different.
Three days later, after reading the manuscript as quickly as possible, the editor of the publishing house rushed to the company's headquarters, almost in front of a serious person and asked, "Is this really written by Mr. Zhou?" β
Serious people think it's strange, this editor is quite familiar, how could he ask such a naΓ―ve question. Mozi didn't eat by writing books, nor did he go to the gunman for fame?
I just wanted to despise it, but I didn't expect the editor to say in the fastest voice: "This book is terrible, it will be popular!" The girls in the editorial department are crazy, crying while watching, just like looking at Qiong Yao. I don't do anything all day long, and I am discussing this novel. This is not quite like Mr. Zhou's style, even if it is "Red Leaves", it is also suspenseful and weird, and love is behind the cushion, but this "Fire Dance" is completely a tear-jerking drama of love! β
Serious people don't understand it very well, but it seems that this book is really well written, and it is not a little bit of progress. Otherwise, the editor would not have thought that it was a change of gunman. Thinking about himself, he was a little unconvinced. As for Mozi's virtue of not seeing people. Can you write about a bird's love? Especially when he gave the manuscript that day, he looked disgusted, he definitely didn't pretend to be, and he himself was not good at this tone.
However, the prestige of the general manager must be maintained, so the serious person said with certainty: "Don't worry, I dare to guarantee that this book must be written by Zhou Mo himself, so you can rest assured and boldly send it." β
sent the editor away, and the serious person opened the manuscript and read it for himself. The story is about a post-apocalyptic future. The Earth is completely destroyed, and a group of survivors, led by a spaceship, search for a habitable planet in the vast sea of stars.
The survivors have different mentalities, some are optimistic and some are pessimistic, some are full of hope and some are infinitely desperate, and the complex emotions generated in this background are intertwined, which makes people infinitely sigh.
The book is a good book, but is it written by Zhou Mo? This is a big problem. If the gunman is found and finally exposed, it is not only his personal reputation that will be lost, but also the company will be implicated. The credibility that has been built up so hard will be dealt a big blow. Therefore, serious people have to figure it out. If the gunman is really found, the possibility of exposure must be completely eliminated at all costs.
In the face of serious people's doubts, Zhou Mo of course denied it, there is no doubt about it.
"Well, I believe you."
A serious person knows Zhou Mo very well, and if he really did it, he wouldn't dare to admit it, especially after understanding the seriousness of the matter. However, since this book is really written by Zhou Mo, it is necessary to make good use of it. First of all, there is the issue of the cinematization of the novel.
Cinematization was proposed by Niu Lao, and after reading this novel, he felt that it was very suitable for making a science fiction movie. Of course, the protagonist should naturally use his own family. However, the investment in such a film is relatively large, and it is necessary to find all kinds of investors, and the 335 dormitory is not mainly engaged in this area, so this is just a proposal.
"Making a movie? Live-action? β
Zhou Mo was a little surprised, this investment is not a decimal, serious people shout every day not to mess around, why did this suddenly start tossing by itself.
The serious man nodded, and then explained: "Of course, this is only a proposal, and it depends on the sales of the novel after its release." If it is ideal, it is possible to formally establish the project. β
A good book doesn't necessarily have good reviews, and if "Fire Dance" doesn't make waves in the end, then the proposal is automatically stillborn. After all, the investment is too large, and the 335 dormitory is still just a chick in the film industry, and serious people have to be cautious.
At the same time, there is another possibility, that is, if "Fire Dance" can be edited into a CG movie like "Red Leaves", then there is no need to make any live-action versions. Judging from the farmer's usual practice, this is not too low.
"Okay, it's up to you. These are the two theme songs of "Fire Dance", let Xu Jing and Bai Zhi choose one each, let them hurry up, complete the recording within a week and hand it to me, and the farmer will remember it. β
On the twentieth day of Baihuayuan's production, the theme song and BGM score appeared in the computer, and at this time, you can choose to let Yulia sing it, or find an outsider to sing it. The company is now pushing two artists, so Zhou Mo gave them this opportunity.
However, the conditions must also be there, if it can't be handed in before the final completion of the Hundred Gardens, then Yulia can only be used. Whether they can seize this opportunity depends on whether the two of them work hard enough and whether they have such determination.
BGM must be handed over to the composers association for review, whether it can be as intoxicating as "Nine Shades" and serious people don't care, the two tunes in his hand are the focus of his attention. As soon as he returned to the company, he was anxious to get the members of the brokerage department to evaluate the two tunes.
Undoubtedly, the song was perfect, but Niu Lao fell into deep thought. Because these two songs have too high requirements for singing skills, he is very worried about whether the two children can sing them, especially because there is a time limit, which is simply difficult.
The serious person also said helplessly: "Old Niu, don't be angry. Farmers have always disliked the power of outsiders, they also have their own singers, and the level is quite good, you should know the virtual idol Yulia, right? Therefore, this opportunity is hard to win, and no matter how great the difficulty is, it must be overcome. β
Niu Lao thought about it, and no longer insisted on asking for a few days of grace, and it was right to hurry up and let Xu Jing and Bai Zhi practice more. But he immediately thought of another person, so he ran out of the road and ran back not far and said, "No, I still need someone!" β
Serious people know who Lu Dao is. It must be Li Xiangkou. She has the best singing skills in the company. It's up to the task. However, she has decided to quit the entertainment industry, which is a fact that no one can change, so she can only refuse with a wry smile: "Niu Lao, I can't command the person you are talking about, if you can persuade her, I will not object." β
Niu Lao shook his head, he wanted Li Xiangkou to sing, but he sang it to Xu Jing and Bai Zhi. The two of them were still young. The mastery of new songs is not so fast, and at this time you need someone to bring it, and Li Xiangkou is the most suitable person. She has an experienced experience, the speed at which she accepts new songs is extraordinary, and her singing skills are excellent, but she doesn't know if she wants to be this wet nurse.
After listening to the old man's words, he hesitated, even if Li Xiangkou had become an employee, he could still avoid her. But for the sake of the two female classmates, I still have to go out in person. Hateful Mozi, why do you have to wait until a week. Isn't it okay to be a few days late?
gritted his teeth and took Niu Lao to Li Xiangkou's image design room. There are a total of 4 people in this studio. They are all Li Xiangkou's subordinates, but she, the chief designer, doesn't know where to run. The apprentices thought it was a surprise inspection by the boss, and while the two of them hurriedly entertained, one of them slipped out of the room to make a phone call.
It seems that Li Xiangkou, the team leader, is very popular with his subordinates, otherwise he would like to see his boss make a fool of himself, and maybe he can take the opportunity to take the position. No way, who makes the family a star. Not to mention this studio, the entire 335 dormitory has fallen close to 100%, except for Lin Wei in the technical research room.
A young girl also covered for Li Xiangkou and said: "Mr. Lin, Chief Li was a little uncomfortable with his stomach just now, this may be going to the doctor, don't misunderstand." β
The serious person couldn't cry or laugh, waved his hand and said, "Okay, hurry up and find her." Who cares about the crazy girl? I don't suffer this loss, as long as her monthly work is not delayed, I can let her be. However, you are not allowed to learn from her crazy, I can't clean you up if I can't control her? β
The joking tone dispelled the nervousness of these people, and they laughed together. Serious people are right, Li Xiangkou's work speed can be called god speed, every time the design requirements come down, she can complete it quickly, this talent skill is simply a dick.
Soon, Li Xiangkou came back, still holding an apple candy in the cafeteria and licking it violently, which made the girl who was covering just now blush, and quickly helped clean it up, and then came over.
"What? The design of "Elemental Wars 2" has been completed, and you have no new tasks to come down, and your ass hurts all day without doing anything, so I am not allowed to walk around. β
Designers can be said to be collecting inspiration even if they go out and wander around, not to mention just hanging around in the company, so Li Xiangkou is very arrogant. But after seeing Niu Lao, her attitude immediately improved a lot, and she has always been a teacher for this person who discovered her.
Niu Lao touched her head very dotingly and smiled: "Hehe, Xiangkou, you are now the chief designer, and you have to learn to be dignified, don't be so naughty." β
Li Xiangkou obediently answered yes, and then looked at the serious person, she knew that this kid would not come over for a surprise inspection without trouble, there must be something right.
The serious person was quite uncomfortable being stared at, so he drank saliva and said: "Zhou Mo, that kid has written another novel, it seems that the evaluation is good, so I will ask you to take a look, maybe there will be any creative inspiration." β
This is what I said before, once Zhou Mo has any novels, she should show her. As soon as Li Xiangkou, who is very persistent in image creation, heard this, she immediately became interested, and she wanted to ask for a manuscript from a serious person so that she could start working.
I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Li Xiangkou just likes Zhou Mo's words, and she can always feel strong emotions from them, and then she starts to create with this emotion, and the most recent works will make her satisfied. She wasn't really happy with the production of the Elemental Elves, and although the sales of these elements were good, she always thought that only the Dog of Liberty was the best masterpiece to date.
"Red Leaves" has always been a regret for Li Xiangkou, because there is such a perfect novel, and it has not been explained in advance, otherwise it will definitely be able to create a good work. Ghost dolls,In fact, she also likes it very much.,Especially the most well-known cute series of zombies in "Red Leaves", she thinks that if she designs it, it will definitely be more interesting.
Well, this time, damn Zhou Mo finally remembered his promise. Otherwise, Li Xiangkou would definitely go to school. By the way, a lace reporter with a butt.
Seeing Li Xiangkou's expectant eyes. Serious people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, this guy still has weaknesses after all, so things can be handled much easier, and said easily: "Of course I want to give it to you, but before that, you have to help me get through a difficult situation first." β
After signaling, Niu Lao said about Xu Jing and Bai Zhi as a wet nurse. Li Xiangkou gritted her teeth with hatred, but on the one hand, it was her teacher's request. On the one hand, he was attracted by Zhou Mo's novel, and finally nodded and agreed, promising to bring the two out after a week.
The matter was perfectly settled, and the serious man went back with a smug smile. But is Li Xiangkou the kind of person who suffers losses and doesn't fight back? Looking at the gurgling of the eyeballs, I don't know what the hell I am thinking about in my heart, in short, there must be some suffering for serious people.
A week later, Xu Jing and Bai Zhi both finished recording the song and were taken to school by serious people. The embarrassed look on his face attracted Zhou Mo's attention, and he thought that he was too busy with work, so he persuaded him with good words: "You, you." It's still too serious, and it's not the small company it used to be. Why are you still busy like a dog? Take more time to rest. β
Hearing this, the serious man said sadly: "Rest a fart!" I can't stay in the company, so I can breathe when I come out. β
It turned out that serious people became the target of Li Xiangkou, and almost the whole company secretly helped her, making a series of retaliatory actions very successful. There is no paper in the toilet, and there is a steady stream of small troubles such as eating chili peppers, and serious people are very embarrassed, and the most tragic thing is that even the most intimate secretary Xiaowan has 'defected', and she has not had a good face for several days.
In this regard, Zhou Mo can only express deep sympathy. But he himself is not happy, since he knew the identity of Lin Wei, Zhou Mo deliberately posted some posters around the corridor as a surveillance camera, and when an unknown person appeared, the 2D monitor would send out an alarm.
In the past two days, there have been a lot of alarms, for example, now, in a women's dormitory building in front of the left, there is a pair of eyes staring this way. God knows how they set up the monitoring point there, could it be that some students have been absorbed by the organization?
Alas!
That's not all, from the 2D monitor, it was also detected that there were 4 bugs and other things in this dormitory, all of which were in the corners of the dormitory, and it was generally difficult to find. You can't look for it openly, you can only leave it there. Anyway, I live in this room alone, and I don't usually talk to anyone, so if you want to eavesdrop, you can eavesdrop.
This is already the case with operational surveillance, and even less so with the network. The laptop had been moved, and although I don't know what it was, it was probably related to finding the farmer. For this, Zhou Mo had to create a series of 'left and right fights'.
For example, now, I use my laptop to send a message to the farmer and say, 'The song has been recorded, please pay attention to it'. Then he closed his eyes and returned to the space, received the documents with the farmer's account, and replied: "It has been received, the finished product will be completed soon, don't read it." β
There are many more and so on, the purpose is to create the illusion of the existence of the farmer, probably it can be successful, right? At first, I thought so, anyway, it's okay to be safe, but if this situation continues, it will inevitably make people upset.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Dai Feifei is one of the surveillance officers, in order to be flawless, she deliberately became a student of this university, and then began to spy on Zhou Mo's life. This kind of life has lasted for a week, but I know that this guy lives a very regular life every day, and he has never gone out easily.
There are very few people who usually come into contact, except for Li Huan, Gao Mu, and Guan Quansheng, who are also roommates but have left school, only one cousin, Li Hui, occasionally comes back to help wash clothes and clean up the room, and there is almost no contact.
Are all students like this now? Dai Feifei was very puzzled, and all day long she either slept or played games, or ate. God, I've never seen anything so edible, and the most outrageous thing is that this guy's body is not fat at all, and he is as strong as the special forces he saw in the army.
There's definitely something wrong with this guy, where would a normal student be like this, and he pays so much attention to exercise. In a small room, it is very rare to be able to train such a strong body. I didn't see him practicing martial arts, if he even knew this, he would definitely be a very dangerous person.
There were still a few people monitoring Zhou Mo in the school, and Dai Feifei called one of them: "Team leader, do you want to get in close contact, you always monitor the periphery like this, and you can't get any effective information at all." β
The other side hesitated for a moment and said: "Don't act rashly, our task is to find out the clues of the farmer, and we don't need to know Zhou Mo too deeply." He's a well-known musician, and if we let the outside world know that we're spying on him, it will have a bad impact. β
Dai Feifei didn't give up: "Team leader, my current identity is a student, and I have already had some contact with Li Hui, I think there will be no surprises if I get close from this point." β
"Okay, you can try to get in touch with Zhou Mo. Keep in mind, though, that you don't need to do any spying, and you can't warn him. β
"Understood!"
Understand the hell...... Zhou Mo couldn't help but smile bitterly in his sleep, all of you are under Lao Tzu's anti-surveillance!
Can't you stop it? Hello everyone, I live a good life, how comfortable, but I have to come to something. (To be continued......)
