Chapter Fifty-Three: The Meteor Trip Signing

"Mr. Zhou's age...... It's amazing. Hearing Mori Shilang's opening remarks, Zhou Xiao said with a smile: "Where, young people can also write novels." ”

It can be said that before meeting Mori Shilang, Zhou Xiao had predicted that he would be surprised by his age, so he had already prepared such polite words.

Mori Shiro continued: "Although there are many young people, Mr. Zhou is the only one I have seen in my decades of life to write such a delicate novel with the meticulousness of an adult and the perfect details carved to perfection! ”

"You're exaggerating, I just wrote a novel just to make money." Zhou Xiaodao.

"There is no exaggeration, this novel is really good, I even see the shadow of Keigo Higashino in it, in the current Japanese novel world, I am afraid that he is the only one who can write such a work!" Morishiro said. What he didn't say was that although in some lines, you can still see the immaturity of a teenager, but in terms of plot arrangement, Mori Shilang even feels that Zhou Xiao is even older than Keigo Higashino!

How could he know that some of the shortcomings in his writing were actually caused by Zhou Xiao not really writing any novels, let alone Japanese novels, and partly because Zhou Xiao did deliberately leave some words that seemed frivolous and superficial so that the other party would at least not doubt his eighteen-year-old authorship.

In fact, it stands to reason that Sen Shilang and Zhou Xiao are both buyers and sellers, as a buyer, Sen Shilang should try to lower the level of Zhou Xiao's novels as much as possible, and it is easier to lower the price, but Zhou Xiao's small move made him a little cautious about such behavior, because what Zhou Xiao mailed to Wen Chun was not his own original manuscript but spent a lot of money to copy a new copy, for Sen Shilang, this behavior undoubtedly told him that Zhou Xiao did not just vote the novel to their weekly Wenchun, Several other magazines have also contributed to him.

This made it so that as soon as he came up, Sen Shilang praised Zhou Xiao, at least so that he would not give up negotiating with his own side casually.

"Let's talk about contracts." Mori Shiro took out a document and handed it to Zhou Xiao.

After the last contact with the lawyer introduced by Uncle Inoue, Zhou Xiao also carefully studied the Japanese contract system during this time, so this time Zhou Xiao did not need to consult a lawyer again, and anyway, what he signed now is only an agreement for a book, and if Zhou Wenchun pits a young writer with great potential just for the benefit of a book, it will be too mentally retarded.

Zhou Xiao flipped through the contract and said: "You can have the copyright of serialized and physical books, but I will not sell the adaptation rights on the Internet, film and television and other media outside of paper media, to put it bluntly, this is my bottom line." ”

"Mr. Zhou Xiao, this is just your first book......"

"I know, but this is my insistence, even if I know that I can't find anyone to shoot in the future, I won't sell my other adaptation rights."

"In that case, we will lower the value of your book on top of the manuscript fee." Morishiro said.

"This is the price given by several other magazines that compete with you, and it is in the case that I don't sell the adaptation rights, you can refer to it."

"This ......"

"Mr. Mori Shiro, let's be honest, the reason why I submitted to your company is because I grew up reading your novels! I like your style, I love your novels! That's why I'm going to be honest with you, this is just my first novel, and there will be a second and third book soon! Excuse me, do you want to save hundreds of thousands of manuscript fees now? Or do you want to get a young writer who may contribute to your company for a long time in the future to join your opponents!? I'm sure you'll make an informed choice! Zhou Xiao looked at Sen Shilang sincerely and said loudly.

Half an hour later, Zhou Xiao finally came out of the weekly Wenchun, and after Zhou Xiao's words, Mori Shilang finally gave up his efforts to save money, and gave a contract that was quite good compared to the debut writer, and this contract was only a book, as for Zhou Xiao's later books, he would probably get a higher manuscript fee.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Zhou Xiao walked on the road and floated up quickly, a month ago he was poor and could only live in a small room with a monthly rent of 50,000 yuan, but now what about him? Not to mention signing a record company, the initial manuscript fee for this novel will allow him to live a relatively comfortable life for a while, not to mention that there is likely to be a physical book in the future, and it will be adapted into a TV series, and even a translated version will be published in China.

When Zhou Xiao signed the contract, his songs were also slowly fermenting.

Rikoto Ono finally had time to listen to the song, and she put paper and pen on the table, which of course was used to write music reviews, and as a professional music critic, she was very professional.

casually flipped through the CDs accumulated in the last two weeks, and after seeing Zhou Xiao's CD, Ono Riqin was stunned for several seconds before finally remembering what happened when he bought the CD before. She rubbed her head with some annoyance, listening to ugly songs was undoubtedly a torment for her, but since she bought it back, she couldn't help but listen to it.

"Do you listen to it first and suffer first, and then use other songs to wash away the impression of this song, or don't let this song affect your mood of listening to other people's music?" Ono Riqin thought about it, but still threw Zhou Xiao's CD aside. He felt that it was unfair to make all the other CD singers pay for their bad mood for the sake of such a CD.

"After listening to this guy's CD later, I have to do something to wash away my bad mood...... Rikoto Ono thought.

More than an hour passed quickly, and the CDs she had never heard in her hand were decreasing little by little, and Ono Rikoto wrote more and more words, and finally, when her hand hovered over the CD she had not heard, she found that there was only one CD left there.

“…… The number of words written this week is still quite a bit short, and the remaining words are used to scold him, who made me take the poisonous tongue route. Ono thought to herself.

When latecomers follow the trajectory of the song "Little Love", there is a question that is often raised, that is, Ono Riqin and Tsuyoshi Muru, which of these two people has made the greatest contribution to the song "Little Love"?

What is the trajectory of the popularity of a song? It's been a few days since Tsuyoshi Muru's singing that all his colleagues loved, and in the past few days, the song Little Love has become popular in an unprecedented way.

"What song did you just hum?" "Little love, you don't know, our company's village just used this song to chase them into the city!"

"Really? This song sounds pretty good. ”

"If you like it, you can buy it quickly, when I went to that CD store to buy it, there was only one left, and I guess it sold very well." Actually, it's not really selling well.,It's really a human CD store that only has a total of five in stock.。

"Selling well? I haven't heard of weishenme......"

"Hey, you still know all the singers, and listening to his name, it looks like he is Chinese or Taiwanese, maybe it is a Japanese single from a famous star over there."

"That's right, then I'll buy it after work!"

Conversations like this have been staged many times in Tsuyoshi's company in the past few days, and even not only the company, but also by the people of these companies, through their friends, family, lovers, with the help of karaoke, Zhou Xiao's singing began to spread slowly but rapidly under the media. Gradually, his name began to appear on the Internet, and the radio station would occasionally come to the news that the song was not available in the database......

Even Yuko Ogura, who has been being trained by the company recently, heard the song while singing karaoke with his friends, but when he went to the CD store to look for it, he found that almost all CD stores could no longer find the song.

It's Friday again, after Nagato Daiyuki came to the company early in the morning, the first thing he got was the news that Zhou Xiao went to class with the company's composer again, in terms of class, Zhou Xiao was quite diligent, Nagato Dayuki was very happy about this, and the cost of his company's group of composers to take classes was not cheap, judging from Zhou Xiao's current state, the little money he spent selling CDs could not pay for classes.
