Chapter 224: Cooperation
"The spy war suspense theme is nothing to put it bluntly, usually involving plots such as stealing, hiding, and cracking intelligence, as well as tracking, discovering, and destroying enemies through various means and intelligence.
Works of this genre are usually characterized by tense and thrilling plots and elements of suspense and reasoning, attracting the audience to follow the protagonist to explore the truth and solve the mystery. ”
Jiang Yulou said eloquently.
Looking at the energetic young man in front of him, Mr. Jin had a good impression of him, and said with a smile: "How did Mr. Jiang come up with the idea of creating a work of the genre "Secret Calculation"? ”
"I just wanted to create a world of agents that was different from people's stereotypes, and reinterpreted the tragic fate of agents." Jiang Yu said.
Mr. Jin nodded thoughtfully, "Mr. Jiang is really young and promising. I think this theme is very interesting, if you adapt it from CCTV...... Is it a professional drama? ”
"Yes, not exactly. Professional dramas are mainly reflected in technology, the audience feels very professional after watching it, and experts can't find anything wrong after watching it. If there are too many other factors, such as love, it will not be a real professional drama.
"Secret Calculation" mainly describes the stories of the legendary characters in the three departments of 701, the Listening Bureau, the Decipherment Bureau, and the Action Bureau. ”
"Ancestors are worthy of respect."
Mr. Jin also came from that era and also has deep respect for the heroes in the Anti-Japanese War.
He also used to think of creating works on other themes, but at that time, "Ming Pao" was indispensable for his martial arts novels, and now he has been closed for eight years, devoting himself to business management, and has no desire to write.
"Mr. Jiang, have you ever thought about letting the readers of Xiangjiang see your works?"
"You mean?"
"Xiangjiang has its own business direction and its own story, but it is also an inclusive city, and it has also struggled, and it will also like the stories of heroes."
"In principle, I have no opinion." Jiang Yulou thought for a while and said, "But are you talking about publishing or serializing in Ming Pao?" ”
"Serialized in Ming Pao."
It was Mr. King's newspaper, it was his career, and he naturally wouldn't give up the opportunity to others.
"Shhh
Feng Xianzhi, Wang Meng and others were very surprised, but they didn't expect that the first of them to have a work to go out would be Jiang Yulou.
However, if you think about it, it's understandable.
The first is the subject matter, the spy war suspense theme is not available in Xiangjiang.
Moreover, the identity of a mainland writer is also a good propaganda material.
In the end, Jiang Yulou really has the strength, selling 700,000 copies, and this year he is going to a million copies, which is not to be underestimated.
A high-level executive's eyes lit up, "Jin Sheng, this is a great idea of yours, we can really try to introduce the works of mainland writers." ”
"Hmm."
Mr. Jin smiled, looked at Jiang Yulou again, and said with a smile: "This is a rare opportunity, Mr. Jiang must seize it." ”
Mrs. Jin also said with a smile at this time: "My husband's "Ming Pao" is one of the top three newspapers in Hong Kong, with daily sales of more than 100,000 copies, and its influence is amazing. Ni Kuang, who writes science fiction novels, as well as Zhang Xiaoxian and Yishu, are all famous for opening columns in our "Ming Pao". ”
"This ......," Jiang Yulou hesitated.
Feng Xianzhi and Wang Meng saw that he still didn't agree, so they were anxious for him.
Mr. Jin smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Jiang can mention it if he has a request." ”
"I'm naturally happy to have more readers reading my novels. It's just that I'm a writer and need to be paid to eat. Jiang Yu did not change his color and put forward his own requirements.
"The remuneration is easy to say." Mr. Jin laughed, "It's just that although Mr. Jiang is a big writer in the mainland, he doesn't have a readership base in Xiangjiang, and the manuscript fee may not be too much." ”
Jiang Yulou didn't speak, and listened respectfully.
Mr. Jin pondered for a moment, quickly weighed the pros and cons, and then gave a number, "How about a thousand words and a hundred?" ”
"Then it's decided." Jiang Yulou nodded.
He is still very happy with this number.
Jiang Yulou knew that Mr. Jin was well-known for his remuneration for writers, but as he said, he was equivalent to a newcomer in front of Xiangjiang readers, and he did not have the confidence to ask for a high remuneration.
Besides, 100 yuan is already a lot, and he can get a salary of 24,000.
After the cooperation was negotiated, both parties were satisfied.
"I heard that Mr. Jiang has only been writing for two years?"
"Well, the first work was published in '79."
Mr. Jin sighed: "Alas, this industry is the future of young people after all, and we old men can't keep up with the times." ”
"What nonsense, that is, you don't want to, if you go out again, I don't know how many book lovers will happily go to the street to shoot guns."
Mrs. Kim hurriedly comforted her.
Jiang Yulou nodded and said, "Actually, I have also read Mr. Jin's novels, and I am also looking forward to you rewriting martial arts novels."
"Oh? Mr. Jiang has also read my novels? ”
"Flying snow shoots white deer in the sky, and the smiling book god leans on the blue duck. This monolithic love has long since spread to the mainland with your work. ”
"Are there many people reading my novels on the mainland?"
Everyone came interested.
"Not much, mainly concentrated in the southeast coastal areas. However, I believe that as our country becomes more and more open, your work will one day sweep the country. ”
Feng Xianzhi had a strange face, he didn't expect this little ginger to be so good at sycophancy. It seems that I have misjudged him!
He then said, "Hey, I hope to read Mr. Kim's work one day." ”
Mr. Jin was relieved, pointed to Jiang Yulou and said, "Haha, Mr. Jiang is making me happy." ”
"Not really." Jiang Yulou said with a smile: "Don't you know that even that big leader is your book lover?" ”
Big leaders?
Mr. Jin's expression was confused for a moment, and then he instantly reacted to who Jiang Yulou was talking about.
His eyes were bright, staring at Jiang Yulou, very serious: "Mr. Jiang, don't dare to joke nonsense. ”
"A few years ago, your books were banned in the mainland, and the relevant authorities strictly restricted people's reading. For the sake of your novel, the big leader also specially asked a friend to buy it from abroad, and sometimes even read it at night.
It is said that the big leaders will also bring your novels with them when they go out, and the most often read is "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". ”
Jiang Yulou combined the information he saw in his previous life and revealed this secret in front of Mr. Jin.
Mr. Kim's expression was unpredictable, and he didn't know whether he believed it or not.
He just smiled slightly and said calmly: "Although the situation is not very clear now, the country has a deep foundation. I believe that after 97, there will be no barriers between the two places. ”
"Hehe, that's what Mr. Kim said."
After that, neither of them brought up such topics again.
At this time, Jiang Yulou saw that the other party showed a tired look and realized that tonight's conversation was over.
Sure enough, soon Mr. Kim left.
