Text Chapter 121, Ni Frame Requirements

Lei Weidong, who has been a man in two lives, is not ordinarily thick-skinned, and he doesn't care about this kind of denunciation at all.

Besides, this kind of denunciation will not ruin Lei Weidong's reputation, but will benefit Lei Weidong a lot, his popularity has increased significantly, and the sales of his novels and comics have also increased significantly.

The newspaper sales have reached a new high, breaking through the 160,000 copies sales mark in one fell swoop, and ranking first in Hong Kong's newspaper sales.

More importantly, the high manuscript fee given to Lei Weidong by "Xingchen Daily" has an advertising effect of buying horse bones, attracting a large number of red-eyed authors to actively submit.

Because of the rapid expansion of "Xingchen Daily", the sales of less than 10,000 copies in a year to more than 160,000 copies now, so that both editors and reporters are seriously insufficient, and the comprehensive rating of its newspaper has not been high.

"Star Daily" slowly took root in the hearts of Hong Kong citizens.

Most of the newspapers' insults and attacks on Lei Weidong focused on his sky-high manuscript fees, especially after the news came out that Lei Weidong had been an exclusive contributor to the "Star Daily" for five years, other newspapers and magazines scolded him more fiercely and more unscrupulously.

Basically, they are criticizing Lei Weidong's last novel "Xun Qin" for being vulgar and relying on color. Love is attractive, Lei Weidong is not worthy of the title of literary master, although the content of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is wonderful, but he does not deserve to take so much manuscript fees, and he also scolded "Xingchen Daily" for breaking the rules of the newspaper industry for the sake of sales, etc.

However, for the "Xingchen Daily" evaluation of Lei Weidong's novel is the beginning of a new martial arts era, many newspapers agree very much, before the appearance of Lei Weidong's novels, Hong Kong martial arts novels are becoming more and more sluggish, and as soon as "Xun Qin" came out, martial arts novels were stimulant, good works emerged in endlessly, and classics continued to appear.

There are many novels that are much older and spicier than "Xun Qin" in terms of writing and conception, which makes readers love it very much.

Of course, everyone can see that these novels are all influenced by Lei Weidong's "Searching for Qin", so that many writers are staring at Lei Weidong's new books and follow what Lei Weidong writes! This is also the reason why the follow-up work of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" came out so quickly.

Ni Huan entered the Ming Pao building with a bag, and the employees of Ming Pao who did not take the Christmas holiday along the way took the initiative to greet him with a happy holiday.

Compared with the appearance of the fat head and big ears in the future, Ni Frame's figure at this time is much better, and he can only be regarded as a little fat. When he first came to Hong Kong, he was a super thin man, writing books for many years, and writing toad belly as a perennial student.

No way, writers are like this, dealing with tables and chairs all day long, and there is little exercise, how can you not be fat!

Ni Frame came directly to Master Jin's office, and Master Jin's assistant couldn't stop him when he saw that it was Ni Frame, so he had to let him in.

When Ni Frame threw the manuscript of the Wesley series that had just written the Wesley series "Hair" on the table, Master Jin took off his glasses and smiled: "Brother Yiming, why are you here?" I'll just ask someone to come to your house to pick up the manuscript. ”

The people of the Ni family speak very straight, or very impulsively, whether it is Ni Frame, Yishu or his precious son Ni Gongzi.

Ni Quan didn't give Master Jin face at all, and said straight to the point: "I want to increase my salary, otherwise I really can't write, and besides, don't fool me with the trick of the little sister, I don't eat that set." ”

You must know that when Ni Frame first arrived in Hong Kong in the fifties, he was penniless, if it wasn't for Master Jin's talent, let him work in Ming Pao, and later instructed him to write novels, it is estimated that he would have starved to death, how can Ni Frame have the title of a talented man now, it is Master Jin who gave him the grace of life, so the relationship between the two is also very close.

No matter how good the relationship is, let Master Jin spend the same amount of money for decades, then he will be dissatisfied.

Master Jin was not good at words, and was silent for a while before saying, "Why! Have you always paid a lot of money, a cut above other writers? ”

Ni Frame slapped a copy of "Star Daily" on Master Jin's desk and said, "Look at what it says?" Lei Weidong's "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is paid 1,000 yuan per thousand words, which is more than three times higher than the previous remuneration of the first Hong Kong writer, that is, my manuscript salary.

What's even more infuriating is that it also says that Lei Weidong is still the first person in Hong Kong's new martial arts novels, and you are called the two great talents of Hong Kong martial arts, and I, Ni Box, am just an outdated old man, I don't understand, how can a 14-year-old hairy boy who has written two books be comparable to you! ”

Master Jin sighed and said: "I have read Lei Weidong's two novels, that "Xun Qin Ji", strictly speaking, except for those drama accidents, the most attractive thing about the novel is its novel idea, of course, the writing of the novel and the concept of the story are very immature, but you can't ask a 14-year-old child to have a good writing cultivation? ”

"It's because of this that I'm angry, don't talk about me in the writing of "Xun Qin Ji", even my son can write it, I don't understand how such a novel can be said to be the pioneer of new martial arts novels!" Ni Frame said angrily:

"In my opinion, "Xun Qin Ji" is a yellow book dressed in martial arts, and it is because of the drama in it that it attracts so many readers and causes such a big sensation, he wrote such a book as a 14-year-old boy, which really disgraced his parents, that is, his parents died, otherwise he would not have been angry with Lei Weidong."

"The dead are great!" Master Jin opened his mouth to interrupt Ni Frame's topic, "I have also met Lei Weidong's parents a few times!" The relationship is not bad, now that they have all passed away, you don't have to arrange them, and compared with "Xun Qin", "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" has made some progress in writing and conception, and it can be seen that Lei Weidong's level is also improving! ”

"No matter how much progress you make, you can't get a thousand words and a thousand yuan for your manuscript!" Ni Frame shouted: "On the way here, there were reporters who interviewed me and said that I was surpassed by a junior, what do I think!" Will he be jealous, so angry that he almost smashed his camera! ”

"Then did you smash it!" Master Jin asked with some curiosity:

"That's not it, if you smash it, you will fall into the trap of reporters, but I severely criticized Lei Weidong, otherwise I won't be able to swallow this breath!" Ni Frame replied: "Don't mention it, let's talk about the manuscript fee, I won't do it if I don't pay the additional fee!" ”

"Then how much are you going to add!"

Ni Frame said angrily: "At least 1,050 yuan for 1,000 words." I've been writing novels for decades, and I'm not as good as a junior, isn't it a joke? ”

"1050 yuan for 1,000 words! Are you mistaken! Master Jin looked at Ni Frame and said, "It's more than tripled, Brother Yiming, you're not raising your salary, you're asking for my life!" ”

"What do I want your life for!" Ni Box shouted: "Hong Kong's economy has developed so rapidly in the past two years, shouldn't it be a salary increase?" ”
