269. I'm under a lot of pressure when you're like this
Just this month, the original book "Six Dynasties Palace Concubine" adapted from "Daming Fenghua" has appeared.
It's just that because the image of the heroine is very different from history, many fans scolded in the book review, which affected the author's creative speed, and now there are only a dozen chapters, and even the update has been broken.
If it weren't for the style of his little girlfriend, Wang Yongren would never give this opportunity to outsiders.
Although the TV series "Daming Fenghua" more than ten years later is adapted from "The Palace Concubine of the Six Dynasties", many of the plots and angles are very different from the original book.
The real male protagonist of "Daming Fenghua" is the three generations of Ming Chengzu's ancestors and grandchildren, not the Sun Queen in the second half.
Many people don't want to watch that TV series since Xuanzong went offline, one is that the male and female protagonists in the second half are unsatisfactory, and the other is that the plot of the Son of Heaven is really a bit aggrieved.
"Oh, really?"
Dong Qincheng attached great importance to the recommendation of the handsome writer, and asked: "Which book is it, I'll find it." ”
"A copy of "The Palace Concubine of the Six Dynasties" on Jinjiang Online is now scolded by netizens. If I follow my outline, her book will have to be torn down, and mine belongs to the perspective of the male protagonist, I wonder if she can adapt to it? ”
Seeing that Sister Dong attached so much importance to Wang Yongren, who was disappointed by the other party, took a preventive shot in advance.
"It's okay, I'll get back to the other party. An online author can let you, a god writer with a royalty of over 100 million, personally guide you, and can also publish directly in person, who would be stupid enough to refuse. ”
Knowing the caution of the little handsome writer, Dong Qincheng had a charming smile on his face, and he had already climbed up the pole between his words.
Since the outline is given, the handsome writer has to guide it personally, and she can also borrow the other party's name as a gimmick for the publication of the new book.
The most important thing is that she has a lot of opportunities to discuss the details with the other party properly.
"Sister Dong, I'm under a lot of pressure if you're like this."
Hearing the hidden meaning of the other party's words, Wang Yongren's eyes moved up from the book and replied with a wry smile.
"Why, don't you want to help your sister?"
Sitting beside the other party, Dong Qincheng's black silk legs slowly approached, with a hint of resentment in his voice.
"Ahem."
Seeing such a blatant move by his best friend, Han Xiaozhu, who put down the teacup, coughed twice, lest the other party be too presumptuous.
Although in recent months, her best friend has had many fewer opportunities to get to know her handsome brother than her, but ...... Who let the little handsome brother be in Jiang Province, but not in Su Province.
At the beginning, it was also recommended to her by her best friend, and at first it was two people together, but now it has developed into the current situation, and Han Xiaozhu did not mean it at all.
"Then it's decided, let's go to a movie now?!"
didn't give the little handsome writer a chance to refute, Dong Qincheng, who coiled his hair, pulled the other party to the family theater in the basement.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Wang Yongren, who had dinner with the staff of the publishing house under the pretext of having dinner, returned to the Jinsha apartment.
"Ah Ren, you just drank?"
Su Qiuyi, who was sitting in the living room, greeted him, took the coat off his junior brother, smelled a little surging wine, and asked casually.
"Well, it's hard to refuse."
Nodding, Wang Yongren, who had a flowing yang air in his body, hugged the thin waist under Senior Sister Su's coat.
I chatted with the two young ladies before, and I had to talk about life with Senior Sister Su in the evening, and he definitely wanted to use health wine to recuperate.
"Oh, don't make a fuss, let's go take a shower first."
"Wash together."
"Well, you can't make it bad......"
“...... Say it's good or not...... How do you ......"
......
"Hello writer Wang, I'm a reporter from Hangcheng Daily......"
"Hello writer Wang, I am a reporter from Hangcheng Evening News......
"Hello Writer Wang, I am a reporter from the Modu Evening News......
"Hello writer Wang, I'm a reporter from the Beijing Morning Post......"
......
On the morning of Saturday, December 1st, as soon as Wang Yongren and Sister Han and others came to the book signing site in the book city, they met more than a dozen reporters who surrounded them.
In November, the first month of sales of "Pacific Rim" really shocked some peers and 'bricks' in the industry.
According to the data released by Hangzhou Literature and Art Publishing House and Hachette Books, which are responsible for publishing and sales, in the first month of publishing and selling Pacific Rim, domestic sales exceeded 3 million copies, and foreign sales exceeded 4.5 million copies.
In terms of domestic sales alone, "Pacific Rim" may be slightly inferior to Wang Yongren's previous "Passing by Your World", which is naturally not big news.
But coupled with foreign sales, it is a record for all young writers in China, after all, it is euros, dollars, and foreign exchange.
Some people secretly speculate that just for the first month of sales of "Pacific Rim", Wang Yongren, as the author, can get hundreds of millions of royalties.
With such a big news, even the mainstream media heard about it and got the opportunity to come for an interview through various channels.
"Don't crowd everyone, before the signing meeting, Writer Wang will spend half an hour to be interviewed by everyone. However, please turn off your cameras and cameras, and only text interviews are allowed. ”
The staff, who had been instructed a long time ago, quickly stepped forward to maintain order and held an impromptu press conference in an idle office in the book city.
Because the office space is a little crowded, some media reporters who have greeted in advance will naturally enter first, and those reporters who come to hear the news will depend on their luck.
"Hello writer Wang, I am a reporter from Hangcheng Daily...... Excuse me, the film of the same name of "Pacific Rim" was approved, will you participate in the creation of the adapted script? ”
As a female reporter of Hangcheng Daily, who has a home advantage, she didn't ask about the royalties of more than 100 million yuan at the first time, those can be pushed out of the data table, and it is the most serious to ask something else.
Hearing this colleague's question, the rest of the reporters couldn't help but look sideways.
This female colleague has something!!
"According to my previous contract with the film and television company, I was obliged to participate in the creation of the adapted script."
"Do you have a plan for your next book?"
"Not yet, Pacific Rim has only been released for a month, and I need to be quiet for a while to absorb more knowledge."
"Excuse me......"
......
Perhaps because they had greeted each other in advance, the reporters present asked questions in an orderly manner, without asking anything, and the atmosphere was relatively harmonious.
After half an hour of interviewing, Wang Yongren was reminded by the staff to get up and go outside to attend the last signing meeting in China.
As for the foreign signing meetings, Hachette saw that the situation was very good, and he also arranged seven signing meetings in three important cities in Europe and one city in North America, and a total of seven cities in the capitals of the Cherry Blossom Country and the Southern Dynasties Kingdom.
In other words, in December, Wang Yongren's itinerary was even busier than in November.
Especially around Christmas, it's almost continuous.
For the sake of the valuable foreign exchange royalties, Wang Yongren and Sister Han discussed and agreed to this arrangement.
After finishing the signing meeting for half a day, when he was having lunch with Senior Sister Su at noon, Wang Yongren received a call from his cousin Cai Chunxiao.
"Yongren, you earned 100 million in manuscript fees last month?"
As soon as the phone was connected, Cai Chunxiao, who saw that there was no one else in the office, lowered his voice and asked softly.
"Not so much, the foreign royalties haven't arrived yet."
Hearing his cousin's question, Wang Yongren replied with a smile.
"And how much did you pay in domestic royalties last month?"
"10 million."
"It is said on the Internet that the sales abroad are 1.5 times that of the domestic one, so isn't that 15 million euros? Wouldn't it be 160 million if it was exchanged for Huayuan? ”
“......”
Seeing that his cousin was unrelenting, Wang Yongren explained with a smile: "The proportion of royalties abroad is less than that in China, and there are tax deductions, not so much." Cousin, don't tell my dad about this beforehand. ”
"Okay, do you still have a signing session this month?"
"Well, maybe go abroad, I'll bring you a gift then."
"Then I'll wait."
......
In the afternoon, resting in the apartment with Senior Sister Su, Wang Yongren specially talked about the arrangement of dinner, and was ready to invite the three female classmates of Senior Sister to eat together.
In this regard, Su Qiuyi naturally agreed, and quickly called to make an appointment with the three female classmates.
There is no entanglement of interests, and the relationship between the four girls is very good.
"How long will the heroes fight for, the wolf smoke died in Qiusha, and the Qin Dao preached those immortal laws......"
was leaning on his junior brother's arms to read a book, Su Qiuyi heard her mobile phone ringing, saw her mother's number displayed on the screen, and hurriedly gave her junior a silent lip gesture.
