Chapter 410 411 [Call from movie studio]


    ?After everyone was seated, beef and mutton, tripe, yellow throat, louver, shrimp paste, meatballs, etc. were served soon.


    Everyone ate together, cooked together, and picked up chopsticks together.


    “Chen Xiaozheng, I heard from Weiwei that you make a lot of money writing novels.” Zhu Xiaobei asked curiously while eating the food.


    "It''s not bad. Now that I''ve opened this book, I made 30,000 yuan last month, which is not much." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Hey, this shrimp is ready. Eat it as soon as possible, otherwise you will get old." "


    “Thirty thousand is not much?” Zhang Zhang said in surprise, “Azheng, you are really powerful now.”


    “Thirty thousand is really not much, thirty thousand a day is almost enough.” Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile. Thirty thousand a month is not even a middle-class god, at most a minor god.


    The great **** of the real cattle 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.


    “Thirty thousand a day?!” Hearing what he said, everyone couldn’t help but be stunned.


    ?If you can really make 30,000 yuan a day, you don’t even need to go to college.


    “Is it difficult to write a novel?” Zhu Xiaobei asked curiously.


    She is quite interested in making money.


    Xiang Nan smiled.


    He knew that Zhu Xiaobei, like him, was a mother and daughter dependent on each other.


    ?Her mother sells spicy hotpot at the school gate. It was very hard to be exposed to wind and sun, and to be chased back and forth by school security guards all the time.


    ?Zhu Xiaobei wants to make money and lighten the burden on his mother. This is a normal mentality and is very valuable.


    “I can’t explain it in just a few words.” Xiang Nan smiled and said, “In short, it’s difficult for those who don’t know it, but it’s not difficult for those who know it. Well, if you are interested, I will tell you slowly when I find time.”


    Writing novels really depends on talent. There are many writers who write seven or eight books in a row and still barely make ends meet. But a talented writer can become a **** with just one book. Some writers are still in junior high or high school, and their writing is already very good.


    ?Of course, if Zhu Xiaobei really wants to try it, then under his guidance, earning a living expenses will not be a problem. After all, online novels have certain routines. If you write according to the routine, it will definitely be enough to earn pocket money every month.


    "Okay, then I''ll thank you first." Zhu Xiaobei said happily after hearing this.


    “You’re welcome.” Xiang Nan smiled.


    …


    As he was eating, Xiang Nan''s cell phone rang.


    “Hey, these beef **** are almost cooked, you should think about eating them~” he said hurriedly.


    “Azheng, let me answer the call for you.” Zheng Wei picked up the phone and said.


    Xiang Nan nodded.


    There is nothing that cannot be said to others. There is nothing fishy on his phone, and he is not afraid of Zheng Wei checking up on him.


    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 look, "Ah Zheng, from Tsui Hark Film Studio, wants to buy the rights to your "Detective Dee" series."


    Plop! Snap! oops!


    Li Weijuan just picked up a beef ball and it fell back into the pot with a pop.


    ?Zhu Xiaobei''s chopsticks slipped and fell to the ground.


    I opened the cup without holding it firmly, and the beer fell on my chest.


    Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment, then stood up with a smile and took the phone, "Hello, hello, I''m Chen Xiaozheng~"


    “Wei Wei, is this really Tsui Hark Film Studio?!” Zhu Xiaobei asked in surprise after Xiang Nan left.


    “What did Director Tsui Hark ask Ah Zheng for? What other copyrights are there for the "Detective Dee" series?" Zhang Zhang asked in confusion. "I''m not too sure. It seems that Ah Zheng wrote the novel, which suited director Tsui Hark''s wishes, so he wanted to buy it and turn it into a movie." Zheng Wei explained.


    “W-H-A-T?!” When he said this sentence, everyone in the audience was shocked.


    Director Tsui Hark is a famous director in Hong Kong. "A Chinese Ghost Story", "The Swordsman", "Once Upon a Time", "The Legend of Shushan", "New Longmen Inn"... these are all classics.


    As college students, they grew up watching Hong Kong movies when they were young. Naturally, I admire this Hong Kong director even more. When I learned that Xiang Nan wanted to cooperate with him, I was really shocked and envious.


    “Real or fake?!”, “Collaborating with Director Tsui Hark?”, “Can I ask him to get an autograph?” Everyone chirped and thought it was incredible.


    ?One is a well-known director in Hong Kong, and the other is an ordinary college student from the Mainland. No one could have imagined that there would be intersections between them. It is really unexpected.


    …


    After Xiang Nan answered the phone, he went outside the store to answer it and quickly understood it.


    It turns out that Tsui Hark started planning to film "Detective Detective of the Tang Dynasty" the year before last, but he still couldn''t get it right after writing more than a dozen versions of the script.


    ?At the time of the dilemma, the staff of the film studio saw the "Di Renjie" series of novels serialized by Xiang Nan in "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times: Martial Arts Edition".


    Because the novel is well written, integrating various elements such as investigation, action, palace battles, spiritual fantasy, and supernatural beings into one. The imagination is magnificent and the scenes are majestic, so the studio feels like it is a treasure.


    ?After showing it to Tsui Hark, he was 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’s an honor for me that he likes 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 right away." the staff said.


    "Okay, then I''ll wait for your arrival." Xiang Nan nodded.


    …


    When Xiang Nan hung up the phone and returned to the private room, he found that everyone looked at him and there was something wrong.


    Each one was glowing with thieves, as if they were going to eat him.


    “Ah Zheng, Tsui Hark really likes your novel?”


    “Azheng, what is your novel about?”


    “Classmate Chen, when you see Tsui Hark, can you ask for an autograph for me?”


    Everyone asked in a hurry, and they were all very curious about it.


    "That''s enough, that''s enough." Xiang Nan quickly waved his hand and said, "How could a person as big as Director Xu personally take action? They just sent staff to contact me.


    ??Moreover, a movie can’t just be shot. Hollywood sells hundreds of thousands of scripts a year, but not one in a thousand will eventually be made into a movie.


    So, don’t have too much hope in me. Maybe people just think the story is pretty good and want to buy it as a reserve. Not as tall as you think. "


    Hearing what he said, everyone''s enthusiasm subsided slightly.


    “Anyway, this is already amazing.”


    “Yes, Director Xu’s vision is so high. It would be great to be favored by him.”


    “Azheng, you are so awesome! I am proud of you and give you a toast!”


    Everyone toasted in celebration.


    “Thank you, everyone.” Xiang Nan smiled and raised his glass.


    Thanks to book friend Yoki Xiaoyou for the tip, I’m grateful!
