Chapter 410 411 [Call from the film studio]
After everyone was seated, beef and mutton, hairy belly, yellow throat, louver, shrimp paste, meatballs, etc. were delivered soon.
Everyone will fish and cook together, and chopsticks together.
"Chen Xiaozheng, I heard from Weiwei that you make a lot of money writing novels." Zhu Xiaobei asked curiously while eating.
"It's not bad. Now that I have opened this book, I made 30,000 yuan last month, which is not too much." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Hey, this shrimp is ready. Hurry up and eat it, or you will grow old. "
"30,000 is not much?" Zhang Kai said in surprise, "Ah Zheng, you are really good now."
"30,000 is really not that much, 30,000 a day is about the same." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled. Thirty thousand a month, not even a middle god, at most a minor god.
The real great master is really 30,000 a day, and the monthly manuscript fee is one million. Including copyright income, the annual income can exceed 100 million. He is still in his infancy, far from making a fortune.
"30,000 a day?!" Hearing what he said, everyone was stunned.
If you really can earn 30,000 a day, you really don’t need to go to college.
"Then is it difficult to write a novel?" Zhu Xiaobei asked curiously again.
She is more interested in making money.
Xiang Nan smiled.
He knew that Zhu Xiaobei, like him, also depended on each other for life.
Her mother sells Mala Tang at the school gate. Being exposed to the wind and the sun, and often being chased around by the school security guards, it was very hard work.
Zhu Xiaobei wants to make money and lighten the burden on his mother. This is a normal mentality, and it is commendable.
"I can't explain it clearly in a few words." Xiang Nan smiled, "In short, those who are difficult will not, and those who meet are not difficult. Well, if you are interested, I will tell you slowly when I find the time."
Writing novels really depends on talent. There are many writers who have written seven or eight books in a row, but still barely make ends meet. But for a talented writer, a book can become a god. Some writers are still junior high school or high school students, and their writing is already very good.
Of course, if Zhu Xiaobei really wants to try, then under his guidance, earning living expenses will not be a problem. After all, online novels have certain routines, and if you write according to the routines, it is definitely enough to earn pocket money every month.
"Okay, then I'll thank you first." Zhu Xiaobei said happily when he heard that.
"You're welcome." Xiang Nan laughed.
…
While eating, Xiang Nan's cell phone rang.
"Hey, these beef **** are almost cooked, you should think about eating them~" He hurriedly said.
"Ah Zheng, let me answer it for you." Zheng Wei picked up the phone and said.
Xiang Nan nodded.
Everything can be said to others. He has no tricks on the phone, and he is not afraid of Zheng Wei's investigation.
Zheng Wei immediately picked up the phone and walked out, "Hello, how are you?"
A moment later, Zheng Wei walked over, and said with a surprised face, "Ah Zheng, it's from Tsui Hark Film Studio, and I want to buy your "Di Renjie" series copyright."
Plop! snap! oops!
Li Weijuan just picked up a beef ball, and it fell back into the pot with a plop.
Zhu Xiaobei's chopsticks slipped and fell to the ground.
Opened the cup and couldn't hold it firmly, the beer poured down on his chest.
Xiang Nan was taken aback for a moment, then got up with a smile, and answered the phone, "Hi, hello, I'm Chen Xiaozheng~"
"What did Director Tsui Hark ask Ah Zheng to do, and what copyright is there for the "Di Renjie" series?" Zhang Kai asked suspiciously.
"I'm not too sure. It seems that Ah Zheng wrote a novel, which suits Director Tsui Hark's wishes very well, so he wants to buy it and turn it into a movie." Zheng Wei explained.
"W-H-A-T?!" After saying a word, everyone was shocked.
Director Tsui Hark is a well-known director in Hong Kong. "A Chinese Ghost Story", "The Swordsman", "Huang Feihong", "The Legend of Shushan", "New Dragon Inn"...these are all classics.
And these college students grew up watching Hong Kong movies when they were teenagers. Naturally, I admire this Hong Kong director even more. Knowing that Xiang Nan wanted to cooperate with him, he was really shocked and envious.
"Really?!", "Working with Director Tsui Hark?", "Can I ask him for an autograph?" Everyone chirped and quacked, thinking that this was incredible.
One is a well-known director in Hong Kong, and the other is an ordinary college student in the Mainland. No one can imagine that there will be an intersection between them. It is really surprising.
…
After Xiang Nan answered the phone, he went outside the store to answer it, and quickly understood it.
It turned out that Tsui Hark had been preparing for the filming of "Di Renjie of the Tang Dynasty" since the year before last, but the script was written more than a dozen times, but it still didn't work.
While in a difficult situation, the staff of the film studio saw Xiang Nan's "Di Renjie" series of novels serialized in "Legends of the Ancient and Modern Times: Martial Arts Edition".
Because the novel is well written, it integrates various elements such as detective, action, palace fighting, ghost fantasy, and ghosts, with magnificent imagination and magnificent scenes, so the studio is like a treasure.
After showing it to Tsui Hark, he was also very satisfied, so he decided to buy the copyright.
"Mr. Chen, if you are willing to sell, we will send someone to talk to you immediately." The staff said with a smile.
"Of course, Director Xu is my idol. It is my honor for him to see my work." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I am very happy to cooperate with him."
"Thank you. Then we will send someone to interview you immediately." The staff member said.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your visit." Xiang Nan nodded.
…
After Xiang Nan hung up the phone, and returned to the private room, he found that everyone was looking at him, and there was something wrong.
One by one, they were all glowing, as if they were going to eat him.
"Ah Zheng, Tsui Hark really liked your novel?"
"Ah Zheng, what is your novel about?"
"Student Chen, when you see Tsui Hark, can you ask me for an autograph?"
Everyone asked in a hurry, all very curious about it.
"Enough, enough." Xiang Nan quickly waved his hands and said, "How could a man as big as Director Xu be able to do it himself, he just sent staff to contact me.
And the movie is not shot just as it is said. Hollywood sells more than 100,000 scripts a year, and not one in a thousand can be made into a movie.
So, don't put too much hope on me. Maybe people just think the story is not bad and want to buy it as a reserve. Not as big as you think. "
Hearing what he said, everyone's fanaticism was slightly reduced.
"Anyway, it's pretty impressive."
"That's right, Director Xu has such a high vision. To be seen by him is quite remarkable."
"Ah Zheng, you are amazing! I am proud of you, and I offer you a toast!"
Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate.
"Thank you, everyone." Xiang Nan raised his glass with a smile.
Thanks to book friend Yoki Xiaoyou for the reward, thank you!
