Chapter 98 The writer’s spirit
The symposium ended successfully, Liu Zhenyun stayed at the end, specially waiting for Chen Jiangong.
Chen Jiangong knew what he wanted to say, "I know your idea is good, but there is no first in civility and no second in military. It is impossible for them to admit that their skills are inferior to others. Don't say that I won’t admit it to them either.”
Liu Zhenyun was stunned for a moment and then understood. There are no strict standards for good works. Everyone appreciates different works. He admires Liu Hongmin, but others may not think so.
Although they like "Da Ming", they are not limited to the works. Liu Hongmin is not a great writer like Ba Lao, so how can he make them bow down?
Although many writers want to meet Liu Hongmin, they are just out of curiosity. Many of them are holding their breath and want to write a better work than "Da Ming".
Without this spirit, how can one become a good writer?
When Liu Zhenyun thought of this, he couldn't help but start to examine himself. Although his relationship with Liu Hongmin is somewhat estranged, he still lives in Liu Hongmin's shadow.
When he was a freshman, he was inspired by Liu Hongmin and has always set Liu Hongmin as his goal. However, Liu Hongmin was too strong. Before he could grow up, Liu Hongmin had already become a famous writer throughout the country.
Since then, Liu Zhenyun has felt that Liu Hongmin is a big tree and he is the grass under the tree. If he does not get out of the shadow of the big tree, he will always be affected by the big tree and unable to thrive.
Therefore, Liu Zhenyun began to alienate Liu Hongmin. Sure enough, the articles written by Liu Zhenyun have become more powerful since then.
After Liu Hongmin gave up publishing her work in "Weiming Lake", Liu Zhenyun and the seniors of the 77th grade held up the sky of "Weiming Lake".
After graduating from the Class of 1977, he became the mainstay of "Weiming Lake" and became the most famous writer on the campus of Peking University.
He originally thought he was successful, so he asked Chen Jiangong to help him get an invitation letter. But when he heard everyone's interpretations of "Da Ming", he once again inspired his admiration for Liu Hongmin, and he spoke out and published these interpretations into a book.
He also had some anger, but this anger disappeared at the symposium. "Da Ming" became a lofty goal that he felt could not be surpassed in his life.
Chen Jiangong patted him on the shoulder, "If you don't understand, just think about Liu Hongmin's attitude towards those historical authorities."
A flash of lightning flashed in Liu Zhenyun's mind, thinking about it Liu Hongmin's fearless deeds. Facing half of the ancient history majors and the entire world history major, Liu Hongmin said whatever he wanted. Even if someone makes things difficult for me during exams or entering D, I still won’t change my original intention.
He doesn’t need to completely learn from Liu Hongmin, he doesn’t need to question authority, he just needs to challenge authority.
This level of difficulty is much lower than that of Liu Hongmin. If he doesn’t even have the courage to do so, he might as well go back and hang out with Liu Hongmin!
Liu Zhenyun immediately shuddered when he thought of the criticism Zou Shifang had received. If someone said that he was Liu Hongmin's dog, he would not be as calm as Zou Shifang.
Thinking of this, he immediately plucked up the courage to challenge authority and himself, and strive to write a novel that could be published in an off-campus magazine before graduation.
Xiangjiang, Tomorrow Film Company.
Zou Shifang stretched out and put aside the manuscript for the third part of "Bao Qingtian". With the foundation of the first two parts, the third part was written very smoothly and only needed a little polishing before it could be published.
However, it is a pity that "Bao Qingtian" is at a disadvantage in terms of reading. If it were not accompanied by photos from the TV series, few readers would like to read it.
For this reason, Ming Pao will not continue serializing the second part. Liu Hongmin modified the contract and gave him half of the income from the TV adaptation rights, which is 115,000 Hong Kong dollars.
This makes him a bit complicated. Logically speaking, he is the one who wrote the book, so he should get the copyright fee. But after all, the two signed a contract, and the adaptation rights and royalties should belong to Liu Hongmin. Liu Hongmin was able to give him half of the adaptation fee, which can be said to be an act of kindness to him.
It seems that he was still affected by the atmosphere in Xiangjiang. He had never thought about it in this way when he was in the mainland. Fortunately, he never thought about settling these confusing accounts with Liu Hongmin. He and Liu Hongmin are now one, and Liu Hongmin gave him 10% of the shares of Tomorrow Film Company, the same as Xu Xiaoming and Wang Yaowei who really work.
So far, Tomorrow Film Company has 70 million Hong Kong dollars on its books. If dividends are paid, he can get 7 million Hong Kong dollars.
Compared with this wealth, what are the profits from "Bao Qingtian"?
In order to prevent future disputes over this trivial matter, Zou Shifang decided not to write "Bao Qingtian" but to write his own martial arts novels.
He is also ambitious. Now he is considered a well-known writer, but he still needs someone else to write a novel based on the outline, which is a bit shabby to say the least.
Liu Hongmin has helped him decide on the creative idea for martial arts novels. As long as he writes according to this idea, he will always be able to write something. It doesn't matter if it takes a little longer, as long as he takes this step, he can show his true colors to others.
Now I can only say that I am the financial manager of Tomorrow Company, but I cannot say that I am Lu Yuanfang, the author of "Bao Qingtian".
Liu Hongmin helped change the name Lu Yuanfang. He originally wanted Zou Yuanfang, but it was only one character different from his real name.
When Liu Hongmin first changed his pen name, it was not Lu Yuanfang, but Li Yuanfang. As a result, Liu Hongmin felt bad again and always wanted to laugh, so she changed her name to Lu Yuanfang
Zou Shifang was full of greetings and didn't know what was so funny about the name Li Yuanfang.
He stood up and took the manuscript to Liu Hongmin, and told him that he would no longer write "Bao Qingtian".
Liu Hongmin nodded understandingly, "Your writing skills are already pretty good now, and writing "Bao Qingtian" would be a bit outweighing the gains. From now on, if you concentrate on writing martial arts, you will definitely have a place in the Xiangjiang market."< br>
Zou Shifang smiled, knowing that Liu Hongmin would understand him.
Liu Hongmin continued: "The adaptation fees for this third film will all belong to you. I will only take the royalties."
"How can this be done? You have already changed the contract once."
Liu Hongmin said with a smile: "When I signed the contract, I was afraid that you would regret it, so I put myself first as a villain and then as a gentleman. Now that I have regretted it, the money will be regarded as my liquidated damages."
Zou Shifang Looking at him speechlessly, he said that even if he suffered a loss, he would take advantage of him, "When will you change your stubbornness?"
"You can't change this. If you change, will I still be from the Northeast?"
"Then I'll leave first!"
Zou Shifang turned and left. After going out, he wiped his eyes hard. It's worth having such a brother in this life!
Liu Hongmin followed him out. Seeing his behavior, he couldn't help but joked: "Are you touched by this? Do you want to pledge yourself to me!"
Zou Shifang immediately expressed the gratitude in his heart Throw it away and glared at it fiercely.
“Get out——”
