Downing asked with some curiosity, "Mr. Fleming, I don't know if you have any wishes that I can help?"

Fleming said, "Mr. Downing, you are really the only one who can help me in this matter, because my request is to write you a biography. ”

For this request, Tang Ning was a little dumbfounded, he never thought that he would be able to write a biography one day, which really made him not mentally prepared at all, but he also understood why Ian Fleming told himself about it in person, because generally speaking, if you want to write a person's biography, you must get the permission of the person, even if the person is dead, you must also get the permission of his descendants, otherwise it is an infringement to write a biography for someone without authorization.

Although he understood Fleming's purpose, Downing was still a little puzzled, so he asked: "Mr. Fleming, to be honest, I never thought of writing a biography of myself, and I think I am still very young, just 36 years old, not yet the age of writing a biography, and these years are in the era of great changes in the world, and so many outstanding people have emerged, so I really don't understand why you suddenly had such an idea?" ”

Fleming explained: "You need not be humble, Mr. Downing, for it seems to me that your experience is the best fit for a legendary biography, even more so than the James Bond I have been writing about in the last few years. You have gone from a swinger who spends all your time to a business giant, although it is only a short 13 years, but it is already a successful inspirational history, and your entrepreneurial development has also been carefully studied, I found that your vision is particularly accurate, all the projects you have invested in over the years, whether it is military or food, whether it is movies or factories. All of them succeeded, and none of them failed, which is a miracle. ”

For this kind of praise, Tang Ning could only complain in his heart, can my vision be accurate? These are all industries that have been determined that they will never fail, and I will invest in them, if there is a problem again. That is, history has changed, but on the surface, I can only say modestly: "Because my capital is small, so before making every investment, I have to be cautious and cautious, plus I have good luck, so I have never suffered too much failure, but my experience is too limited, even if you really want to write, I guess I can't write many words." ”

Fleming shook his head and said, "How can you not write many words?" Don't say anything else. Just talking about your legendary experience with Miss Hepburn is enough to write a paragraph, and I estimated that with your experience, there is no problem at all in writing four or five hundred thousand words, and such a huge number of words is already a huge work. ”

In this regard, Tang Ning continued to complain in his heart, only four or five hundred thousand words are a huge work? Mr. Fleming, you were not born in the era of online literature in the later generations, and the readers at that time were less than 500,000 words, and they were called seedlings. There is no point at all, and a book of more than a million is just getting started. If you only write four or five hundred thousand words and finish the book, you will be scolded to death by readers.

However, for someone who is willing to write a biography of himself, especially a famous popular fiction writer like Ian Fleming, Tang Ning is still very happy in his heart, and he does not resist this kind of thing. So he said, "Mr. Fleming, do you mean that if I agree to let you write me a biography, then you agree to sell the rights to James Bond's film to Mr. Dupont?" ”

Fleming nodded and replied, "That's right." In fact, Mr. DuPont's offer is already very high, but my inspiration has dried up in the past two years. 007's creation has also reached a bottleneck, just when I was collecting information to find inspiration, I overheard someone talk about your legendary experience, and I was immediately interested, so I began to investigate and analyze, but unfortunately there are too few information and reports about you, Mr. Tangning, you seem to be a very low-key person. ”

Tang Ning said in his heart, I am not reborn to be a writer, a star or the master of the world as an emperor, why should I be so high-profile, it is my goal to make a fortune in a low voice, so he replied: "Well, because I have the experience of debauchery when I was young, so now I think it is better to be humble and low-key." Then he changed the topic and asked, "Mr. Fleming, can we sign an agreement now, because I want to adapt James Bond into a movie and bring it to the market as soon as possible." ”

Fleming hesitated for a moment and said: "Mr. Downing, you may not be familiar with the creation of biographies, biography is different from other themes, you can let the author create at will, biography must be approved by myself or his descendants before it can be published, and in order not to waste time and energy, so before creation, the author must communicate with the biography himself or his descendants to determine the writing aspects and writing scale." ”

Downing roughly understood what Fleming meant, because biography is different from fiction or something, you are writing about other people's lives, so you can't write by your own temperament, everything you write must be approved by the person himself. However, if the whole book is really written, and then the biographer himself tells the author that the first, third, and fifth chapters must be deleted, and this kind of part involving privacy cannot be written, then the author's time and energy will be wasted, so this kind of thing must be discussed in advance.

So Downing scratched his head and thought about it carefully, what was there about him that he couldn't let Fleming write? Well, first of all, he must be unable to write as a time traveler, but this is also nonsense, even if he tells Fleming that he has crossed over in 2015, he may not be able to believe it, after all, he is not a science fiction writer, even if he is a science fiction writer, he probably won't take it seriously......

In addition, his real political tendencies and plans for the future of the Ryukyus must not be written, but this seems to be nonsense, few people know about this, at least Fleming will definitely not be able to find out, and it is estimated that he has little interest in this kind of subject, he should be interested in how he makes money, how to enjoy beautiful women, how to be powerful all over Japan, and how to let his former eldest brother be his little brother...... Well, speaking of which, how is this a bit like the urban routine novels of later generations......

After thinking for a long time, Tang Ning said: "As long as you don't write about the business secrets of my company's operations and the military secrets I have participated in, there is nothing else that I can't write." ”

Fleming followed up and asked, "Can you write about your relationship in detail?" How far can the maximum scale of the bed be written? ”

Tang Ning smiled evilly: "You can write, but you can't write more than holding hands, and you can't write the parts below the neck, so you should pay attention to harmonious ......" (to be continued......)
