The International Book Fair is very important for major publishing houses, it is not only an important communication platform, but also a platform to show themselves to the outside world.

Every year, a large publishing house like the People's Literature Publishing House treats it with the highest standards.

Especially when it comes to the published works on display, they are carefully selected.

…………

After leaving the publishing house, He Yun returned directly to the courtyard.

In this way, the peaceful days passed day by day, and every day, He Yun went out early.

He first went to the Lu Xun Academy of Literature to listen to the lectures, and after listening to the lectures, he went to the Xinhua Bookstore to read books, and at night, he lay down on the table, and wrote "The Story of the Vermilion Bird" under the bright light of the table lamp.

On Fridays of every week, he would go to the People's Literature Publishing House to cooperate with the publishing house's translation work.

This peaceful life lasted for more than a month, until when "The Story of the Vermilion Bird" was almost finished, Li Zaochun told him that the sales of his work "The Journey of Life" had successfully exceeded one million copies.

Moreover, due to He Yun's fame in Xiangjiang, many Xiangjiang publishing houses took the initiative to find the People's Literature Publishing House, hoping to publish the traditional version of the book.

But after learning about the situation of these publishing houses in detail, He Yun finally refused them one by one.

The reason for He Yun's refusal is actually very simple, the conditions offered by these publishing houses are too harsh.

And most importantly, these publishing houses are relatively small, and it is very likely that they are here to fish in troubled waters.

Don't think that He Yun is living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, he has a basis.

First of all, these publishing houses made such a condition, they hoped that He Yun would hand over all the publishing rights except the mainland to them.

Secondly, they couldn't come up with a specific issuance plan, so they just blindly wrote blank checks to He Yun.

This is very suspicious, after all, He Yun has dealt with some publishing houses in Xiangjiang and knows their style of doing things.

Of course, the most important basis is Li Zaochun's suggestion.

He is the president of the People's Literature Publishing House, and since even he doesn't mind He Yun cooperating with these Xiangjiang publishing houses, there must be something wrong with this.

Sure enough, not long after He Yunwan rejected these publishing houses, Li Zaochun inquired through the relationship on the Xiangjiang side that a publishing house was suddenly investigated, and a very important reason for the investigation was suspected of fraud.

In fact, this kind of thing is not strange in the current era, which is like a telephone scam in later generations, which can deceive one by one, after all, in this era when information is not yet developed, many Xiangjiang leather bag companies have come to the mainland to deceive under various guises, and it has also happened.

Of course, all of this is far away, but let's go back to the present.

Since he was almost deceived, He Yun has become more and more cautious.

Even with this letter from Boyi Publishing House, I was a little hesitant.

This letter was forwarded by his father-in-law, Gao Lao, and judging by the time when the publisher sent the letter, it should have been sent two months ago.

"Isn't this Boyi Publishing House only publishing science fiction works? How did they remember to publish me's realism? ”

Although he didn't understand it, He Yun finally wrote them a reply, pretending that he had no plans to publish a traditional version in the near future, and politely declined.

…………

After entering December, the temperature in Kyoto dropped by more than ten degrees again, which made He Yun, a southerner, almost frozen and afraid to go out.

Even when he writes every night, he puts the quilt on himself, which makes him feel a little warmer.

On this day, at about seven o'clock in the morning, He Yun got up from the warm quilt, he put on a thick sweater, a down jacket on the outside, and a military coat on the outside, and then opened the door.

After the door was opened, a cold and biting cold wind rushed in instantly, and the gas from He Yunha condensed into a white mist.

"Shhh...... It's cold! It's cold! Let's keep the door closed! He Yun gasped and hurriedly closed the door again.

However, not long after he closed it, there was a heavy knock on the door.

"Huh...... Looks like someone is knocking on the courtyard door? Who's here? Could it be Wang Su next door? ”

He Yun muttered secretly, hurriedly put down the hot water bottle in his hand, put the towel in the porcelain basin, turned around and opened the door again, and walked out.

He stepped on the thick white snow, came to the gate of the courtyard, and opened the gate of the courtyard.

However, what caught his eye was not Wang Su next door, but Zheng Xiaolong from the Kyoto TV Drama Creation Center and a man in his fifties who wore glasses and was a little thin.

"Director Zheng, why are you here? Come! Hurry in, two! ”

As He Yun spoke, he stepped back and welcomed the two into the courtyard.

He led them to his room and then closed the door.

"Come, you two, have a cup of boiling water to warm up."

He Yun immediately poured a glass of boiling water for each of them.

"Comrade He Yun, let me introduce to you, this is Deputy Director Zhou of Taiyuan TV Station."

After Zheng Xiaolong took the teacup handed by He Yun, he immediately introduced another person to He Yun.

After a while, he introduced He Yun to the deputy director Zhou who was traveling with him.

"Deputy Director Zhou, this is the famous young writer Comrade He Yun I told you."

When Zheng Xiaolong's words fell, He Yun and the others stretched out their hands and shook hands.

"Hello! Director Zhou! ”

"Hello! Comrade He Yun! ”

After the two got to know each other briefly, Zheng Xiaolong directly explained his intention to He Yun.

"Comrade He Yun, I won't beat around the bush with you, today I came here with Deputy Director Zhou, mainly for a script you once created "Detective Di Renjie", I think Wang Su should have mentioned it to you before, right?"

"Hmm...... He's already told me about it. He Yun nodded.

Then, he set his eyes on the deputy director Zhou: "Director Zhou, it's not impossible for me to sell this script to your TV station, it's just that I have a question now, I want to ask Director Zhou first, I don't know if Director Zhou can solve my doubts?" ”

"Oh...... Questions? Please! The deputy director Zhou was obviously a little surprised, he couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, but then nodded solemnly to He Yun and said.

"I want to ask Director Zhou, I remember that your Taiyuan TV station didn't make a "Legend of Di Renjie's Case Breaking" based on Gao Luopei before, why did you buy my script as a whole this time?"

"Comrade He Yun, let me answer this question! In fact, here's the thing, originally we and Taiyuan TV were going to continue to shoot a sequel based on the original book, but for some reasons, after several discussions, we decided to abandon the previous shooting plan and make your script into a TV series instead. ”

"However, the number of episodes we set to shoot was twenty-four episodes, but I made a preliminary calculation with Deputy Director Zhou and found that your script can only be made into a twelve-episode TV series at most, so we hope that you can continue to create along the plot of this script, and it is best to create another twelve episodes of the plot."

"Director Zheng, do you mean that you not only want to buy my script as a whole, but also want me to be able to make up the remaining twelve episodes? Is that so? ”

"Yes!" Zheng Xiaolong nodded again and again and continued, "In addition, we would like to sincerely invite you to serve as the literary advisor of our TV series. ”

"Literary advisor?"

Of course, He Yun knew what a literary consultant did.

In fact, he really almost served as this so-called literary consultant, and that was a few years ago, when the movie "Fanghua" was about to start filming, and Liu Lao from Bayi Film Studio found him.

At that time, He Yun offered to be the literary consultant of the film, but in the end he was politely rejected by Liu Lao because of his lack of qualifications, and in the end he only hung the name of a screenwriter in the movie "Fanghua".

Later, when the TV series "Lake and Mountain Love" was released, his name only appeared in the screenwriter column.

But now, he never expected that Zheng Xiaolong and this Deputy Director Zhou would take the initiative to invite him to serve as the literary consultant of the TV series, which made him both surprised and happy.

You must know that literary consultants are not what anyone wants to be, such as "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit", whose literary consultant is the famous writer Yu Hua, although it was later confirmed that Mr. Yu Hua is just a name, but it is enough to prove that the position of literary consultant is more ordinary.

"Can I ask you exactly when you guys were shooting? If I'm in too much of a hurry, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the creation of the follow-up script? ”

"Comrade He Yun, please rest assured that the preparation period of our drama is one and a half years, the filming time is half a year, a total of two years, and the script creation, we can give you four months to half a year, can you watch it?"

Speaking of this, Zheng Xiaolong turned his head to look at the deputy director Zhou, and then said again: "If it really doesn't work, we can also organize other screenwriters to write the script together, and Comrade He Yun will serve as the chief screenwriter." ”

"Half a year? Yes! Then do as you said Director Zheng, I will be the chief screenwriter, responsible for the preliminary outline of the script, as for the other screenwriters, responsible for the specific script creation, and finally I will revise and review the work. He Yun thought about it, and finally nodded and agreed.

In half a year, he only needed to create a brief outline of the script, and there was still no problem.

"Okay, then do it, Director Zhou, do you have anything else to add?" Zheng Xiaolong immediately set his eyes on Deputy Director Zhou again.

"I don't have any opinion, when the time comes, I will send the screenwriter from the station to Kyoto and write the script together with the screenwriter of your TV drama creation center."

Seeing that Deputy Director Zhou who was sitting on the side agreed, Zheng Xiaolong immediately said: "Yes, then let's talk about the fees paid to Comrade He Yun ............."

…………

After seeing off Zheng Xiaolong and the others, He Yun turned around and went back to the house.

Seriously, the script "Detective Di Renjie" he created before, from the perspective of the plot, is indeed a bit short, if it is adapted into a TV series, as Zheng Xiaolong said, it can be made into a twelve-episode TV series at most, after all, there is only one unit case in this script, that is, "Mission Horror Case".

The first part of the later "Detective Di Renjie" has three cases, namely "Youzhou Case", "Blue Shirt Case", and "Blood Eagle Case".

There are only 30 episodes in total of the three unit cases, so calculated in this way, He Yun's script can be filmed into 12 episodes, which is already suspected of water injection.

"It seems that we have to create one or two unit cases."

"Fortunately, I majored in Chinese classical literature, and I have been involved in public cases in all dynasties, and based on this, it is not a problem to create one or two unit cases."

That's right, this time, He Yun doesn't plan to learn from the original plot of "Detective Di Renjie".

He doesn't need it at all.

Of course, originality does not mean fabricating it out of thin air, but imagining it on the basis of the original historical facts.

Let's take the follow-up unit case "Yanshi Case" that He Yun plans to create.

This case happened even after the script "Mission Horror Case" created by him for "Detective Di Renjie".

But the source of his case came from a person, and this person was the famous Yanshi Ming Chongyan in the later period of Tang Gaozong.

Ming Chongyan's father was a county magistrate, and later he himself also obtained fame and became the county official of Huang'an, which belonged to the imperial court officials.

But he relied on his skills as a left-sided door master to gain Wu Zetian's trust, and finally became a counselor, which can be said to be a step to the sky and became a celebrity in front of Wu Zetian.

However, just a year before the crown prince Li Xian was deposed, that is, in 679 AD, he was mysteriously killed.

The most bizarre thing is that when his body was found, the door was closed, and it was a secret room.

At that time, Di Renjie was in office at Dali Temple, and this case fell under his jurisdiction.

But Di Renjie ignored this and chose to back down Mingzhe to protect himself, obviously because the case involved important people in the court.

This one is naturally the crown prince Li Xian, and the other one should be Tang Gaozong Li Zhi.

It is possible that both of them sent someone to assassinate Ming Chongyan.

As for the reason for the assassination, it is actually very simple, it is nothing more than a struggle for power.

After all, at that time, whether it was the crown prince Li Xian or Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, the relationship with Wu Zetian was already regarded as fire and water.

And Ming Chongyan happened to be one of Wu Zetian's henchmen, and they had enough reasons to send someone to get rid of this person.

As for the "Yanshi Case" created by He Yun, because of the timeline, it is naturally impossible to be this case, but with Zhao Xuan, the son of Zhao Daosheng, the disciple of Prince Li Xian, as the villain, secretly planning anti-martial arts as the main line of the case, which is interspersed with various strange and strange cases, involving fairy magic, ghost heads and other gods and ghosts.

Compared with the open and secret battles in the officialdom involved in the "Mission Horror Case", the "Yanshi Case" he planned to create was mainly based on rivers and lakes, such as the assassination organization "Iron Blood Hall" founded by the villain, and the "Divine Ghost Gate", which is known for various illusions and magic.
