Chapter 175 "Pirates of the Caribbean"
Richard asked Stephen to be taken out, and then looked at the two writers in surprise.
"Mr. Liu, you don't have to worry about it. This is a lunatic. You don't need to pay attention to it."
Liu Hongmin said with a half-smile: "It's okay, everyone has made a challenge for me. If I don’t fight, wouldn’t I be a coward?”
Everyone in the exchange group looked at the two writers, their eyes filled with murderous intent. If murder was not illegal, they would have been cut into pieces long ago.
The team leader walked over, lowered his voice, and said coldly: "Go back to the hotel immediately, and I will deal with you when I get back."
"We didn't do anything wrong..."
The two murmured for a while, but did not dare to say it loudly. They realized they had offended the public and left Random House in despair.
After walking out of the door, the two immediately looked at each other, smiled, and then made a phone call. More than ten minutes later, a car drove over and took the two away.
When the exchange group returned to the hotel, the leader found that the two were not there and immediately asked the service staff. It turned out that the two of them didn't have a hotel at all. The leader was so angry that he broke the cup when he returned to the room.
"What the hell, these two grandsons escaped."
Liu Hongmin was not surprised when he heard the news. The two men stabbed him in the back at the critical moment, and there was obviously a way out. I just don’t know what they will do with their family members left in the country in the future? The country won't do anything to them, but they will feel guilty for the rest of their lives. The parents and relatives of a traitor are not necessarily traitors.
Up to now, he has confirmed that it was a trap for him to come to Laos and the United States to communicate. However, this trap was not intended to kill him, but to divert his energy into writing.
But, don’t they know that he writes very fast?
Of course they do, that’s why they deliberately found a subject that is not available in China - fantasy novels!
Liu Hongmin has really not dabbled in this area, but there are quite a few such topics in his mind. It's just that it's very difficult to write a novel comparable to "The Lord of the Rings". "The Lord of the Rings" is the ceiling of fantasy novels. It is difficult to surpass in terms of background setting and plot. Therefore, if Liu Hongmin wants to win, he must find another way.
He went through the fantasy movies and TV series in his mind, filtered and filtered again, and finally only one series of movies remained - "Pirates of the Caribbean".
"Pirates of the Caribbean" is a fantasy adventure movie. The bizarre pirate world and the weird character of Captain Jack Sparrow are the biggest highlights of this series of movies.
This series of movies will definitely be loved by European and American readers. They have always admired pirate culture, after all, this is how they started. Liu Hongmin is naturally disgusted with these businesses that rely on robbery for a living. If he didn't really have nothing to write about, he would never write this book.
However, since he has to write, Liu Hongmin will write well.
He scraped the outline based on the first film "The Curse of the Black Pearl" and then made adjustments. Novels are different from movies, and they are described from different angles. Not every movie is "The Donkey Gets Water". You can read the novel directly from the movie.
The novel will be Captain Jack Sparrow as the protagonist, and is divided into four parts: the cursed Black Pearl, the disaster of the town, the rescue of Elizabeth, and the decisive battle on the Cursed Island. It is interspersed with Captain Jack's escape from the isolated island and the rescue of Elizabeth. , being hunted and having a duel with Will Turner in the blacksmith shop, and the crew of the Black Pearl turning into skeletons in the moonlight and other short stories.
Due to the length of time, the world view of the movie is not fully displayed, so Liu Hongmin still needs to spend some space to increase the setting of the world view.
Lin Lin finally calculated that the number of words in "The Curse of the Black Pearl" could be over 200,000.
On the second day, the exchange group continued their exchanges and visited the TV station. After returning in the afternoon, Liu Hongmin immediately started writing.
Having not written for more than half a year, Liu Hongmin was very passionate about creation and kept writing until late at night. In the next few days, Liu Hongmin did not participate in exchange activities with the group, but stayed in his room writing books. Apart from sleeping and daily exercise routine, I spend all my time writing.
The twenty-day exchange activity was coming to an end, and Stephen blocked the door of the hotel early in the morning. When he saw the exchange group coming out, he immediately blocked the way, "Where's Liu? Where is he?" "What's the matter with you?" The team leader didn't give him a good look. It was he and the two traitors who planned to frame Liu Hongmin.
"I heard that the exchange activity is about to end. Has Liu finished writing the novel? He doesn't want to take the opportunity to escape, right?"
Everyone in the exchange group After hearing this, they all looked at Stephen angrily, "What are you talking about?"
"Who are you talking about running away?"
Liu Hongmin came slowly with a large group of bodyguards, "Isn't this Mr. Stephen? Did he just get up and run by?"
Stephen looked down. Looking at the suit I'm wearing, do I look like I'm out for a run?
"Liu, please stop changing the subject. Have you finished writing your novel? You don't want to take advantage of the exchange group's return to China to escape, do you?"
"Don't worry!" Liu Hongmin patted him on the shoulder, "Since I accepted the challenge, I will not be a deserter. I will not leave the United States until I finish writing the novel."
"I hope you said that. It’s true!”
“Of course it’s true!”
Richard led people into the hotel, glanced at Stephen disdainfully, and then walked to Liu Hongmin, “Liu Hongmin. Sir, we will hire a good translator and translate the manuscript as soon as possible."
"This is the contract, let's find a place to sign it!"
"Just here. ! ”
Liu Hongmin waved his hand, and Chen Yu immediately leveled the box in his hand. Liu Hongmin put the contract on the box and said while signing it: "Otherwise some people will think I lied to him!"
After the contract was signed, Chen Yu directly handed the box to Richard. Richard took the box and gestured to Stephen, "You really don't know anything about Mr. Liu's writing speed."
"Has he finished writing?" Stephen looked at Liu Hongmin in disbelief. , "You won't write randomly, right?"
"What do you think our Random House is?" Richard said coldly: "As an internationally renowned writer, Mr. Liu is very concerned about his reputation. Cherish it. He will not let his reputation be damaged for your sake."
He waved the box in his hand, "This manuscript has 180,000 words, and it will be translated into English at least 300,000 words."
“This is impossible!” Stephen’s eyes widened, “No one can write a manuscript of 300,000 words in ten days.”
Richard said proudly: “This That’s Mr. Liu’s ability!”
Liu Hongmin walked over and patted Stephen on the shoulder, “Mr. Stephen, I suggest you learn Chinese!”
