Chapter 281 "Looking for Qin"(1/2)
Seeing that Fang Yajun was competing with him, Du Xinghe smiled in his heart and replied: "If I edit it well, you must transfer the publishing house to Yunshi, and don't interfere with the publishing house in the future!"
"I'm sure!"
Fang Yajun really doesn't believe it! Du Xinghe's seven-second song writing is all classic, she has seen it, and is convinced! But can Du Xinghe's temporary novels be better than the novels she published? More imagination? How is this possible! Du Xinghe is not a writer!
Even if it is a real novelist, it is impossible to write novels casually! This requires an outline! It requires careful layout!
Writing novels and telling stories are not the same thing. Novels require huge frameworks to support them, and even create a world! Fang Yajun has read so many novels and has reviewed manuscripts, so she is very clear about this. If Du Xinghe writes up a story for her, then she will not spray Du Xinghe back a hundred times the time he just sprays her!
Cheng Jiaren saw Fang Yajun and Du Xinghe Mou coming, and was particularly looking forward to the novel temporarily compiled by Du Xinghe. If Du Xinghe could convince Fang Yajun, then Fang Yajun would really give up the publishing house! Even if they accepted it for nothing, they even asked them to add some money and throw out the time bomb that would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars every month.
The question is, can Du Xinghe satisfy Fang Yajun?
Cheng Jiaren was worried about Du Xinghe. Fang Yajun's taste was very strange, and I don't know if Du Xinghe could catch Fang Yajun's interest.
Du Xinghe was not worried about this. The Chinese literary world thoughts on the previous one had already exploded. There were many novels with magical imagination. Among them, there were many classic works. Anyone who could bring them over could shock Fang Yajun.
But he should not talk about it because he was too advanced, so as not to accept it. Let’s tell Fang Yajun about the founder of the historical time-travel novel "The Legend of Qin", which was recognized as the previous one.
Although the language organization of this book "The Legend of Qin" is slightly white, fortunately, the narrative structure is extremely grand, the plot is intertwined, fascinating, full of magical imagination, and a bit brighter. Whether it is regarded as a historical novel, martial arts novel, palace fighting novel, time travel novel, or even yellow and color novel, it is no problem to read. This is a novel with all-round attraction in any plane, and he doesn't believe Fang Yajun doesn't like it!
Just tell Fang Yajun the beginning, she probably became fascinated!
Thinking of Du Xinghe, he used his super memory retrieval ability to call out the "Qing Qin" on the Internet. All the clear words were reflected in his mind. He could just read them accordingly. This was much more convenient than typing.
After scanning the "West Chu King" on the desk, Du Xinghe said to Fang Yajun: "Don't you like "West Chu King" such as "West Chu King"? Then I will make up a story about Xiang Yu's father for you."
Fang Yajun and Cheng Jiaren were both stunned and wanted to talk about Xiang Yu. This man who stands tall and strong is basically known to him as long as he is a Chinese. Even if he doesn't know, he must have heard of him.
Most of the uncle Xiang Liang, who often appears beside Xiang Yu, have heard of it. But most people don’t know who Xiang Yu’s father is. Even historians cannot determine who Xiang Yu’s biological father is.
Many historians believe that Xiang Yan's eldest son Xiang Chao is Xiang Yu's father, but there is no conclusive evidence.
When Du Xinghe suddenly talked about Xiang Yu's father, Fang Yajun asked in confusion: "Who is Xiang Yu's father?"
"Are you asking about Xiang Yu's father in history or is it from this novel I compiled?"
"I haven't heard of it in history?" Fang Yajun couldn't even think of who Xiang Yu's father was.
Cheng Jiaren thought about it carefully and couldn't figure out who Xiang Yu's father was, so he had to listen to Du Xinghe.
"Of course you haven't heard of it. Xiang Yu's father has always been a mystery for the ages. Sima Qian explained Xiang Yu's family background in "The Book of Xiang Yu" and did not tell him about his father at all. Later, Ban Gu's official history such as "Book of Han" did not mention it. Now people have always guessed Xiang Yu's father's identity, and there is no certain evidence of who his father was. My novel was compiled based on this mystery."
Du Xinghe is not afraid to tell Fang Yajun the last "Eastern Egg" in "The Legend of Qin". In a novel as attractive as "The Legend of Qin", the final Easter Egg is just a condiment. He came up and told Fang Yajun that this was the story of Xiang Yu's father, which would better capture Fang Yajun's interest.
"I guess Xiang Yu's father is a modern special forces soldier, and his name is Xiang Shaolong. He returned to the Warring States Period on a time machine from our era, and then began a magical journey of time in China's most turbulent and sharply changing era two thousand years ago!"
Du Xinghe first lit up the novel's highlight to Fang Yajun. In this plane, time travel movies have appeared, including movies that modern people travel back to ancient times, and movies that ancient people travel back to modern times. However, there are very few such films and have not yet formed a faction.
There are even fewer historical time travel themes in novels, or there are no such novels at all. Because using time travel gimmicks to make movies, it is simple, and just a few stories are composed and stringed together to form a movie. But using time travel gimmicks to support a long historical novel is really not something that ordinary people can do. This not only requires strong cultural creation skills, but also strong imagination!
As soon as Fang Yajun heard Du Xinghe's introduction, he became interested. A special forces soldier traveled to the chaotic Warring States Period. This was quite interesting. I just listened to it. I hope he didn't just make up the mess.
When Cheng Jiaren heard the story introduction of Du Xinghe, she shouted to Du Xinghe in her heart! She knew very well that Fang Yajun liked this kind of "crazy" story. The more chaotic it became, the more bizarre it became. Fang Ya was interested in it.
But I just don’t know if Du Xinghe can make up this random story to look like a little. If Du Xinghe wrote it similar to the novels Fang Yajun had read, or even worse or even more chaotic, then Fang Yajun would not be convinced. This girl is really stubborn when she is more aggressive!
Cheng Jiaren saw that Du Xinghe liked to eat dragon fruit, so he quickly peeled a dragon fruit for Du Xinghe and handed it over to cheer for Du Xinghe.
Du Xinghe took the dragon fruit and called out the first volume of "The Legend of Qin" from his mind. Just as he was about to tell the story to the two people, his eyes suddenly turned around and he said to Cheng Jiaren: "Sister Jiaren, do you have the kind of tape recorder you used for interviews that can be recorded for a longer time?"
"Yes, what do you want it?" Cheng Jiaren asked Du Xinghe in confusion.
"I will edit it anytime, and you will record it anytime. At that time, find a typist to listen to my recording, organize the novel, and then you can publish it directly."
Cheng Jiaren was stunned when he heard it. The novel he compiled casually did not even edit it, and he published it directly. Du Xinghe is too confident!
Seeing that Du Xinghe was not joking, he really wanted to do this! Cheng Jiaren was excited and hurried out to find a recorder for Du Xinghe. She wanted to see where Du Xinghe's unreasonable confidence came from!
As soon as Cheng Jiaren left the study room, Fang Yajun immediately snorted and said, "Mr. Du, you can't make it up. Do you want to delay time?"
"Whatever you say."
Du Xinghe didn't quarrel with Fang Yajun. He was thinking in his mind that since he wanted to tell Fang Yajun, he would tell him seriously, record it directly, and then find someone to sort it out. This is much more troublesome than typing by himself and save time.
Now it’s time to use money. He won’t publish his father’s fourteen classics first. He will first publish Master Huang’s “The Legend of Qin”. This novel should be able to make more stir in this era of martial arts with minimal martial arts!
This fantasy novel is more in line with Fang Yajun's taste. After the publisher was named Yunshi, he first published such an imaginative masterpiece, which was full of imagination. Fang Yajun was sure to be convinced.
Du Xinghe made a conclusion while waiting for Cheng Jiaren. The "Looking for Qin" is very long, with a volume of about 80,000 words, which is as many as 25 volumes, with a total of more than 2 million words!
He strives to release two to three volumes a month so that he can finish it in less than a year. Moreover, he is not tired by just talking but not writing. He can speak several volumes in half a day and take the time to record novels. In less than a month, he can complete this long and masterpiece and publish it slowly.
During this year's publication, he can organize the fourteen classic martial arts of Jin. After "The Legend of Qin" is published and Yunshi Publishing House has accumulated fame, he will launch the fourteen classics of Jinshi again next year! The cultural sign of Yunshi will definitely be released! This will play a huge role in promoting the overall brand operation of Yunshi!
Although the novel is not the main business of Yunshi, many cultural industry interactions derived from it, such as movies, TV and music, can help Yunshi compete for the music scene!
Moreover, the novel industry is well operated, and it is also a huge source of money-making. The royalty income of best-selling novels is no worse than that of singers. It may even accumulate more original resources for the cloud world. Du Xinghe is doing this with a very serious attitude.
"Your creativity is quite attractive, but can such creativity support a novel? It is not considered a novel by making two stories and making a gimmick. Even a short novel requires 20,000 to 30,000 words. If you only write one or two thousand words, it is called a short essay, but not a novel."
Fang Yajun thinks Du Xinghe's creativity is very interesting, but he still doesn't believe that Du Xinghe has the talent to write novels. As long as he is a normal person, he will not believe that anyone can write a good novel casually.
Writing novels is much more difficult than writing songs. Writing songs depends on talent and inspiration, as well as strong creative background, and it is not impossible to write them in a short time.
But writing novels is different. Even the most talented novelists need to prepare carefully, conceive and layout, so that they can start writing, and it is impossible to write them just by coming up.
Those who start writing without preparing anything are usually newcomers who have never written novels.
Du Xinghe said casually that he would record and publish it. In Fang Yajun's opinion, it was a complete expression of a novice. So he reminded Du Xinghe to prepare for Du Xinghe, and not be unable to continue editing later, which is embarrassing!
Du Xinghe ate the dragon fruit and said to Fang Yajun: "I want Sister Jiaren to find a recording pen to record. Do you think I may just compile two thousand words to deal with it?"
Seeing Du Xinghe so confident, Fang Yajun frowned and asked, "Have you written a novel before?"
"No, how can I write novels? But I have read my dad's novels and I can get some of his true teachings."
"Reading novels and writing novels are not the same concept. I must have read more novels than you, but I dare not say that I can write novels!" Fang Yajun heard that Du Xinghe had never written novels, so he was even more helpless about Du Xinghe's unreasonable confidence!
"Don't argue with me about this. It's a mule or a horse. Just take it out and take a walk. If the novel I compiled is interesting enough, you must keep your promise and transfer the publisher to Yunshi. If you don't interfere with the publisher's affairs in the future, it will be really bad for your image." Du Xinghe seriously advised Fang Yajun: "I won't take advantage of the publisher's shares, you don't have to give me away for free, everyone will get 50% off."
With the cultural resources of a world, Du Xinghe didn't bother to take advantage of these little things. The novels he wrote, including his father's novels, must belong to Yun World. For publishing and distribution, they also need Cheng Jiaren's help, and distribute the net income from publishing and distribution after removing various expenses to Fang Yajun's team. This is reasonable. It can also make Cheng Jiaren more concerned about operating this matter. If there is no difference between the interests of others, how can they care about doing things for you?
"You can write it out first. Take advantage of this time. Why don't you quickly put together the novels and want to talk to me about the publishing house?" Fang Yajun said with a smile.
"My novel has been compiled and the story has been thought of. I'll wait for Sister Jiaren to come with a recorder and I can tell you. This story is very long." Du Xinghe glanced at the antique Li Zhong next to him. It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, so he said to Fang Yajun: "I guess when I talk about dinner, I can only tell you the beginning. We will stop doing anything this afternoon, just tell the novel. Do you have something to do tomorrow afternoon? If you are fine tomorrow afternoon, let's talk about the new song."
"What day tomorrow, will it be 30?" Fang Yajun thought for a while and said, "I'm fine tomorrow afternoon, and I'm fine tomorrow morning, why don't I go with you to talk to Lu Jun about the lease."
"Okay, with you, the big boss, the negotiation will definitely go smoothly." Du Xinghe said in a longing: "I originally thought renting 2,000 square meters is too big, but now Yunshi has incorporated your publishing house. These 2,000 square meters are not enough! The floor downstairs of you really have to leave it for our company the next year."
Fang Yajun said helplessly: "Who said my publishing house will be included in Yunshi? Don't keep instilling this kind of thinking in me, okay? I don't eat this set. Although I am not hard, I am definitely not soft! Don't think that fooling me can fool my publishing house away. I cherish this publishing house very much!"
Du Xinghe smiled and said, "I know you cherish it. If I have a hobby carrying my dreams, I will definitely cherish it too, not to mention that you have spent four years in this publishing house. In short, if you send the publishing house to Yunshi, Yunshi will definitely not disappoint you."
"Come here."
Cheng Jiaren deliberately polished for a long time before taking the recorder back to the study to gain some time for Du Xinghe to conceive the novel.
Seeing that the recorder was coming, Du Xinghe smiled at Cheng Jiaren without any pressure, took the recorder and reminded the two: "When I tell a novel, you should try not to interrupt, so as to save trouble for the entry clerk when transcribing. Since it is a novel, some places must be processed artistically. Don't be embarrassed if you listen."
"Don't be embarrassed?" Fang Yajun was a little confused and asked Du Xinghe: "What novel do you want to write!"
"Of course I wrote a very imaginative novel. The protagonist of my novel is a heroic special forces soldier, with a relatively romantic nature. During the Warring States Period, it was an era when men were superior to women. It is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. The novels I compiled must conform to the characteristics of the times and can't just stop things, right? That would be boring."
Du Xinghe deliberately reminded the two of these words, mainly because the previous ones written in "The Legend of Qin" is indeed quite explicit, and it is also a gimmick. If he doesn't deal with those bright plots, the original taste will be missing. What's more, he doesn't have the ability to increase or decrease the master's works, so he just read the script according to the script. He will tell the two of them what the original work looks like, and he should relax and read the novel that made him forget to eat and sleep again.
Fang Yajun heard Du Xinghe say that the protagonist of his novel is naturally romantic, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why do you want to make a protagonist with naturally romantic nature?"
"Why can't I make up a heroic protagonist?"
Du Xinghe smiled strangely and said, "You can't say that the whole world is full of protagonists like Liu Xiahui, no one can read such novels. In the early days of my novel, the protagonist was very romantic, but gradually his personality will become mature. Good novels can always make people see the protagonist's growth."
Cheng Jiaren saw Du Xinghe’s words very well and thought that this guy might really have the talent to write novels! You must know that this genius has not received formal music learning. He is only influenced by his father and has already had profound attainments in the field of pop music! His father also wrote novels, and perhaps he has also influenced him in literary creation. Youth is better than blue than blue!
Cheng Jiaren is increasingly looking forward to Du Xinghe's performance.
Fang Yajun ate a grape and urged Du Xinghe: "Don't waste your time, I'll bring you a recorder, you can make it up."
Du Xinghe got up and went to the window to close the windows to prevent the sound of the waves from affecting the recording.
He simply sat next to the bay window, with the sea outside the window as the background. He turned on the very advanced recorder and started to carefully record.
"The name of my novel is "The Legend of Qin", which tells the story of a special forces soldier returning to the Warring States Period to find Qin Shihuang..."
As soon as Du Xinghe recorded a brief introduction, Fang Yajun couldn't help but interrupt Du Xinghe: "Didn't you say that you are telling the story of Xiang Yu's father? Why is it a story of looking for Qin Shihuang again?"
"Tsk!"
Du Xinghe smacked his mouth. He was dissatisfied with Fang Yajun interrupting him. He washed off the recording before the recording. At the same time, he blamed Fang Yajun: "You listen steadily and you will understand slowly. Xiang Yu's father is a person from that era. Don't interrupt anymore, listen to the story steadily."
Fang Yajun was bulging by Du Xinghe's words, showing a little girl's silly expression.
Du Xinghe reopened the recorder, briefly revealed the introduction, and began the main story.
"Yiga!"
The sound of the brakes vividly simulated, and then like Zhang Zhen, who told the story, Du Xinghe gave the reading emotion to the two women and told the story of the story of Qin.
"…The screams of friction between the tires and the ground due to the brakes rang out in front of the busiest Black Panther Bar in the city. The military jeep, which belongs to the military special forces and is known as the elite elite, suddenly stopped.
Amid the laughter of joy, Xiang Shaolong and three teammates grabbed the edge of the door and jumped out of the car. After three months of arduous physical and tactical training in the Gobi Desert, it is rare to have three days off. If you don’t enjoy your life, how can you be worthy of your parents who have given birth to you?
Xiang Shaolong is twenty years old this year. Because of his long-term exposure to sunlight, he may not be a handsome young man. However, he is close to two meters high, with wide shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, and no more than half an inch of excess fat and solid muscles. His flexible and wise eyes, high straight nose bridge, round cheekbones, and a national-shaped face, combined with the angular smile on his mouth full of teasing for women, there are really conditions to make any woman favor..."
