Chapter 028: Crusoe
The interviews of 12 news media brought very little direct income to Wen Ming. For the media, they have always charged fees, and rarely they have paid others.
Wen Ming was able to get a lot of income from it, because his news was very attractive. But after all, in order to get enough fame in a short period of time, Wen Ming didn't do anything exclusive.
The real income is still some of the programs that follow, and these programs are used to giving guests some announcement fees. The level of the announcement fee generally depends on the rarity of the guests. And Wen Ming's experience has been reported by those media, which has attracted the attention of the audience even more.
"After these programs, plus the fees given by the previous media interviews, the income is about 50,000 US dollars."
Although James said that he would not be Wen Ming's agent, what he is doing now is actually equivalent to what Wen Ming's agent should do.
For current Americans, Wen Ming's popularity and popularity are not lower than some second- and third-rate Hollywood stars, or even surpassed.
"It's good to have $50,000." Wen Ming was also a little happier in his heart, he really didn't expect that he would be able to get money for interviews in the United States.
"With this $50,000, you don't need to worry about the cost of surgery and the cost of post-operative treatment."
Barrister Sith sighed with some relief, dollars are actually difficult to earn, and there are many taxes to pay, just like although he is a barrister, black lawyers in the United States are not as good as those white lawyers, so the savings are very small.
Of course, the low savings is also related to the lifestyle habits of Americans, who have been worried about the cost of Wenming's treatment.
Wen Ming had just finished interviewing 12 news media, and although he was not tired, he was a little irritable. Because he knows that these so-called ways of earning money are not of much significance.
"Are those shows going to be on these days?"
Wen Ming asked, "Is the time of the operation confirmed?" ”
Although Wen Ming seems to earn very little money, there is no other way to help him earn medical expenses in a short time except for this method.
James said the time of the show, and David set the time for Wen Ming's surgery, after he finished those shows.
After learning this information, Wen Ming handed the notebook next to the hospital bed to James and said, "There is a novel I wrote here, how about you take a look." ”
In the past few days, in addition to being interviewed, Wen Ming also used his spare time to write a novel. Of course, this novel was copied by him.
James and the others looked at Wen Ming with strange eyes, and it was only five or six days since Wen Ming came back and was admitted to this hospital. In such a short period of time, let alone writing a book, even if you conceive a novel, it is impossible to complete it.
In the U.S., there are no sites like this.
However, at this time, Wen Ming was the object of their joint care, and thinking that Wen Ming might die in a few years, they still squeezed in front of the notebook and began to look at it.
"Why is it called Robinson Crusoe?"
James asked his first question: "Isn't this a novel you wrote based on your own experiences?" Why not call it Wenming Crusoe, or Rhys Crusoe? ”
Wen Ming smiled and explained: "The vast majority of the plot of the novel is fictional, since it is fictional, why not make up the name as well?" ”
This explanation was dispensable for James and the others, and several people continued to stare at their notebooks.
But for Wen Ming, this was an experiment for him.
The novel "Robinson Crusoe", Wen Ming also read the Chinese version in his previous life, but he was not impressed. It would be impossible for him to fill in the forgotten plots out of thin air, or to create a novel on his own that would rival Robinson Crusoe.
He was able to reproduce the book in just a few days, and even slightly retouch it, thanks to his first dream, The Martian.
The main character in that movie was so impressed by the book Robinson Crusoe that he later read it many times after returning to Earth.
Wen Ming not only inherits the knowledge of the protagonist as a botanist, but also inherits the protagonist's memories of the book.
And now, Wen Ming is copying the book as it is, and the purpose of publishing and distributing it is not just to make money.
He wanted to see if he would experience another disaster.
Since he came into this world, he has experienced three disasters. Let's not talk about it for the first time, although he appeared in the hospital at that time, he hadn't crossed over when his identity was in a car accident, so strictly speaking, it can't be counted.
The second disaster was that he was shipwrecked and stranded on a desert island. Now Wen Ming thinks about it, it should be because he dreamed of the Martian, so he has to bear the disaster that the protagonist endured.
But because he couldn't reach Mars, this time the disaster happened on Earth, and he was only on a desert island for four months.
On top of that, he only gets the knowledge of the main character's botanist, and very little other knowledge.
In the third disaster, Wen Ming had real pancreatic cancer, which was much more serious than Jobs's disease.
Wen Ming also thought about it carefully in the past two days, and he felt that it was very likely that this was because he had too much knowledge in his second dream, and the entire Apple company's technology was completely beyond the knowledge that Jobs could have.
The more you get, the more you give, so Wen Ming's illness is more serious than Jobs's, and the onset time is much earlier than Jobs's.
Jobs was already after the age of 40 when he got sick, and Wen Ming is only 19 years old now, and it is almost impossible for anyone to get sick before the age of 40. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is no one in ten thousand.
Based on these inferences from his own, Wen Ming determined that the disasters he suffered were all related to dreams.
What he needs to verify now is that after suffering a disaster, if he uses the knowledge he gained in the dream movie, will he suffer another disaster?
He can't use the knowledge of a botanist, he doesn't have a chance, and although Apple's technology can be used, he doesn't have the slightest foundation now, and if he doesn't waste it, he may suffer even greater disasters.
The novel "Robinson Crusoe" is very suitable for release at this time. Not only does it fit with his experience, but also because there is no novel in this world.
"Don't you pull so fast?"
David muttered a little complainingly, which made Wen Ming a little surprised, could it be that David likes to watch it, but James, who controls the computer, doesn't like to watch it?
James replied, "Why are you reading so slowly?" ”
Cage suddenly took out his phone and said, "Convert it to a format, I'm going to watch it on my phone." ”
After several other people heard Cage's words, they came to their senses at the same time, and David also took out his mobile phone, and even the older Sith took out his mobile phone.
Khasis suddenly discovers that his phone does not have an e-book function.
"So, you three use your phones to look at it, and give me the notebook, okay?"
When Wen Ming saw this scene, he laughed happily and worriedly.
