Chapter 485: A New Pit Opened - "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"?
After listening to He Yun's narration, Old Man Wang Yongsheng instantly fell silent.
In this regard, He Yun was not in a hurry, he picked up the teacup placed on the stone table, drank a small sip of tea, and sat there quietly, waiting patiently.
After a while, the old man Wang Yongsheng suddenly raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled, glanced at He Yun, and said in a continuous voice: "Okay, good!" ”
The three words "good" in a row are enough to show that he is very optimistic about He Yun's work.
"He is a well-known young writer! Ideas, more courage! To be honest, historical backgrounds like those in the late Tang Dynasty are relatively unpopular in the entire literary world. ”
"In particular, you should be the first to choose the bad guys, an institution that is almost submerged in the long river of history, as the main line of the story series."
"Of course, the most important thing is that your work is extremely suitable for adaptation into a comic!"
Speaking of comics, Wang Yongsheng's old man is the way.
In his opinion, comics is a science, not only to know how to design the original art, but also to know how to design the main plot of the story.
To put it bluntly, it means that there must be both painters and literary creation skills.
"So, Mr. Wang, do you agree to adapt it into a comic?" Seeing Wang Yongsheng's expression, He Yun couldn't help but hurriedly say.
"Hmm...... I can agree to this cooperation right now. Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Yongsheng directly agreed.
The reason for this is actually very simple.
One was that he originally wanted to seek cooperation with He Yun, and the other was that he was also deeply attracted by the story told by He Yun.
In his opinion, if this work is adapted into a comic, it will definitely become popular.
Perhaps, most of the length of their future serialization of "The King of Picture Books" can be used to publish this comic, and they can even use it to get rid of the hat of "piracy".
Of course, what is more important is that he values He Yun's "fame".
This is like the entertainment capital predators of later generations, if they want to make money, they must embark on the road of "little fresh meat", which is a truth, and what they value is fame.
But then again, if you don't have hard power, it's for nothing.
After all, today's readers, like most passers-by and viewers in later generations, are not easy to fool, they are not like some "brainless fans", they will not buy their favorite "idols".
In fact, all of the above has been said, in fact, there is only one point.
The "celebrity effect" is popular in any era.
The key is whether this "celebrity" is worthy of his name or not.
...........
The communication with Mr. Wang Yongsheng was very smooth.
In the end, the two sides agreed to meet again half a month later.
When the time comes, He Yun will come up with a preliminary outline and go to "The King of Picture Books" to have a more detailed exchange with a group of original art designers.
As for the issue of copyright remuneration, Mr. Wang Yongsheng finally gave a maximum amount.
It is calculated as 10% of the profit.
For example, if a comic magazine earns 500,000 yuan, then pay He Yun 50,000 yuan.
This amount, put at the moment, is actually quite high.
What's more, this is still the copyright fee of the mainland.
If the comic is reprinted outside the mainland, "The King of Picture Books" still needs to pay He Yun a certain fee.
The exact figure will be discussed later.
It can be seen that Wang Yongsheng still attaches great importance to He Yun.
In fact, He Yun's "worth" has always been not low, whether it is royalties, remuneration, or other remuneration, it is far beyond most writers in the same period.
And this is one of the reasons why He Yun was able to accumulate more than two million in his eight-year creative career.
It can be said that in the mainland, there is hardly a writer whose net worth can be compared with him.
However, this is to start a company, to buy shares, and to buy two sets of courtyard houses, plus a car, he now, there is not much savings left in his hands.
But compared with most writers, he is still relatively rich, at least he has more than 80,000 yuan in his passbook.
In addition, every month, he still has more than 3,000 royalty income, which is enough for all his usual expenses.
.........
Kyoto Normal University.
As soon as He Yun finished teaching the graduate students he had taken, he was ready to drive back to the courtyard.
Unexpectedly, his BB machine suddenly rang.
As soon as he looked at the message, he found that it was sent by Li Yan.
"Looking for me?"
"Is it for the graduate thesis?"
A few days ago, he happened to meet Li Yan.
To be more precise, when he was in class, Li Yan happened to be in that classroom, listening to his class.
At the time, she said she would seek her help in a few days.
I didn't expect ........
"Forget it, let's go see her while it's still early! I don't know why? ”
He Yun muttered secretly, and drove to the school gate.
Soon, he met Li Yan.
Li Yan saw He Yun's car driving over, and hurriedly greeted him.
"Teacher He, I'm really sorry, I'm going to trouble you again this time!" Li Yan looked at He Yun who got out of the car with an embarrassed face, and couldn't help but say.
"Nothing hassle, no hassle!" He Yun waved his hand, then smiled slightly, and asked, "Is there anything to find me this time?" ”
"Mr. He, this is actually the case, I can't make up my mind about something, that is, another company on Taiwan Island contacted me and said that it was ......."
After listening to Li Yan's narration, He Yun couldn't help but fall silent.
He thought that Li Yan was looking for him for his graduate thesis, but he didn't expect it to be for this.
Speaking of which, this is not the first time that a bookseller on Taiwan Island has asked her to publish a book.
But the problem is that after the last lesson, He Yun has no hope for those so-called booksellers on Taiwan Island.
Moreover, he thinks that it is better for Li Yan's works to be published in the mainland in the future, and not to think about publishing them overseas.
In the past few years, Li Yan's literary style has become more and more inclined to "Qiong Yao", and most of the themes of her works are romance.
It's not that romance is bad, but if Li Yan spends all her mind on the creation of romance, this will be destined to fail to achieve high achievements for her future literary creation.
After all, the singleness of the model, the rigidity of the mind, and the creation of photocopies will lead to their own reluctance to try new things.
In this way, if you reach the sky, you will only become the next "Qiong Yao".
But is "Qiong Yao" really so good?
Not necessarily!
"Li Yan, I still say the same thing, it's good for you to make your own decisions about this matter." After He Yun was silent, he raised his head and said to Li Yan.
"Teacher He, I ........"
"That's it! I've got something to do, so think about it yourself. I'll go first! ”
After saying this, He Yun turned around and got into the car and drove away.
Along the way, He Yun was driving, thinking about Li Yan's various changes during this period of time.
He suddenly found that Li Yan seemed to have changed!
As for what has changed?
He couldn't say it for a moment.
"Hey...... Although I used to be your teacher, the path is your own choice, so do it yourself! ”
He Yun sighed lightly and shook his head slightly, leaving all the chaotic thoughts in his mind behind.
Half an hour later.
He returned to the courtyard.
It's just that as soon as he entered the door, he found that there were many more people in the courtyard.
Moreover, he could vaguely hear the voices of the sixth sister He Xiaolian and the fifth sister He Ying.
"Why are these two girls here?"
He Yun hurriedly pushed the door and walked in.
Sure enough, these two girls are really there!
"Fourth brother!"
"Fourth brother! You're back! ”
As soon as the two girls saw He Yun coming back, they immediately ran over.
The sixth sister, He Xiaolian, rushed straight into He Yun's arms.
He Yun "dodged" and dodged directly.
"You girl, you're so big, you don't know how heavy!" After He Yun said a word to the sixth sister He Xiaolian, he turned his eyes to the fifth sister He Ying: "Yingzi, why are you here too?" Didn't work for a magazine? ”
"Fourth brother, fifth sister has resigned!" Without waiting for He Ying to explain, the sixth sister He Xiaolian, who was standing on the side, immediately said.
"What! Resigned? When He Yun heard this, he was stunned on the spot.
At this moment, He Ying also seemed to feel sorry for He Yun, she lowered her head and fell silent.
And at this time, her mother Gong Yue came out of the room when she heard the news.
She was followed by Gao Yunyan.
At this time, she held the child in her hands, and when she saw He Yun standing at the door, her face was very ugly, so she immediately hugged the child and followed her mother Gong Yue.
"What are you three brothers and sisters doing? What are you yelling at your sister as an older brother? Mother Gong Yue glanced at the three of them, and then set her eyes on He Yun.
However, in a moment, she seemed to think of something, looked at He Ying again, who lowered her head and didn't dare to look directly at He Yun, sighed and said, "Fourth, don't be angry first, let's talk about this in the house!" ”
As she spoke, she glanced at Gao Yunyan on the side.
Gao Yunyan immediately hugged the child and whispered to He Yun: "He Yun, Mom is right, don't get angry first, let's go to the house and talk about it!" Don't let the neighbors see the joke! “
After the persuasion of the two, He Yun, who was originally very confused, gradually calmed down.
Just now, he was really almost carried away by anger, and he didn't know where the anger came from, which made him angry all of a sudden, and he almost started to beat someone.
Also, since Gao Yunyan was transferred from Yincheng to Kyoto, the fifth sister He Ying has overcome her shortcomings and became an ordinary editor in the "Student World" magazine.
Later, because of his outstanding work ability, he was even promoted by Editor-in-Chief Li.
But now, she has done a good job, and she has actually resigned!
You say, can he not be angry!
"Let's go! Come with me to the house! If you don't make it clear today, you won't stay with me anymore! ”
After He Yun said a word to the fifth sister He Ying angrily, he walked towards the house.
Looking at He Yun's back, at this moment, the sixth sister He Xiaolian also panicked.
"Fifth sister, I'm me.... I didn't mean to! Fourth brother he ....."
He Ying didn't say anything about the explanation of the sixth sister He Xiaolian, she turned around and walked towards the house.
Seeing this scene, He Xiaolian suddenly became anxious, and she hurriedly chased after her.
.........
Inside the house.
Several people sat on the side, He Yun sat alone, and in front of him, there stood the fifth sister He Ying.
At this time, she lowered her head, still not daring to look directly into He Yun's eyes.
And this will, after listening to her explanation, He Yun didn't know what to say.
I really didn't expect the "Student World" magazine to go downhill so quickly!
Indeed, in He Yun's expectations, it will be difficult for a local magazine like this to sustain itself without a certain amount of financial support, and it is inevitable that it will go downhill.
But he still didn't expect it to be so soon.
According to He Ying, the number of employees of the magazine has now reached more than 50 people, which is too bloated, not to mention, and most importantly, the editor-in-chief Li has been transferred.
The new editor-in-chief didn't think about developing the magazine at all, so the magazine naturally fell into a predicament.
Especially in the past few months, He Ying can clearly feel that the original vitality of the magazine has been left with little left, most of the employees are messing around, but there are few people like her who really do things.
As a result, the quality of these issues of "Student World" magazine has declined sharply, and the sales have plummeted.
He Ying also saw it in her eyes at first, anxious in her heart, she hesitated again and again, and finally found the new editor-in-chief and wanted to put forward some of her own opinions.
However, although the new editor-in-chief was polite to her, he did not actually take action.
She had no choice but to go to Editor-in-Chief Li, who was transferred to work in the regional library.
After listening to her narration, Editor-in-Chief Li couldn't help but sigh deeply, and he finally sighed angrily: "I have a weak heart!" There is no power in the heart! ”
After hearing this, He Ying instantly understood something.
She thought about it again and again, and finally chose to submit a letter of resignation because she couldn't get used to the now lifeless magazine.
To be honest, if it were He Yun himself, he would make the same decision as his fifth sister.
What is such a magazine still waiting to do, it is better to resign and break out of the sky again, isn't it fragrant!
"Hey...... Yingzi, it's not right to be the fourth brother just now! It was a little too impulsive, I apologize to you,"
He Yun's endless words finally turned into a sigh, and he apologized to He Ying and said.
"Nope! Fourth brother, it's me who is wrong! It was my fault that I didn't consult you before I resigned! When the fifth sister He Ying heard He Yun's words, she immediately shook her head and replied sincerely.
"You're right!" He Yun shook his head slightly: "If it were me, I would also resign angrily!" ”
"That's it! Do you have any plans now? He Yun then waved his hand at the fifth sister He Ying, stopping her from continuing the topic again, and asked instead.
"I want to stay in Kyoto first, learn more, and by the way, seriously create my unfinished novels."
"Long? Are you writing long-form stories? He Yun was stunned for a moment.
He, the fifth sister, likes literary creation, and he naturally knows it.
It's just that he vaguely remembers that his fifth sister never seems to have written a novella, even a novella, she has never written.
Usually, she also writes editorials or some short articles, but I didn't expect this time she actually said that she wanted to create a long story.
In this regard, He Yun is naturally very encouraged.
In the past, teaching Li Yan was also teaching, but now teaching his own family, He Yun naturally will not push back.
What's more, in his opinion, his fifth sister He Ying is actually quite suitable for literary creation.
There are two reasons, one is that she originally had such a literary foundation, and the other is her character.
Compared with the sixth sister He Xiaolian's escape, her personality is much quieter.
And she is very suitable to become a full-time writer.
"That's right! Yingzi, what's the name of that novel? Can I communicate with the fourth brother? ”
"Uh..... Fourth brother! I'm not afraid of your jokes, this novel I created is also inspired by one of your works, Fourth Brother......"
"My work?"
"That's right! To be precise, Fourth Brother, you told us before, and at that time, I also tried to write secretly, but ....."
"Fifth sister, you won't be talking about ...... That's it, right? ”
At this time, the sixth sister He Xiaolian, who was sitting on the side, suddenly remembered something, her eyes immediately widened, and she said in surprise.
"That's right! It's the story you told me and my sixth sister that night, Fourth Brother! He Ying nodded and said.
"Fairy sword?"
