At six o'clock in the evening, Xu Rongsheng and Xu Youyu sat down to have dinner together in a small restaurant near the Ji Hotel.
The father and daughter chatted while eating. After the misunderstanding was resolved, the atmosphere of the chat gradually became normal.
But the topic still revolves around Li Luo from time to time.
Obviously, since yesterday he discovered that his daughter came to the symposium with Li Luo, and this morning she and Li Luo gave a speech together, and then the misunderstanding incident in the evening, Xu Rongsheng's curiosity and inquiry about Li Luo have reached its peak.
However, Xu Rongsheng obviously would not directly ask Xu Youyu about Li Luo like he was checking his household registration.
Instead, he followed the guidance and asked some trivial matters first, and then naturally spread them to Li Luo.
Then, from the Li Luo described by Xu Youyu, Xu Rongsheng gradually constructed a relatively complete and specific image of Li Luo.
A high school boy with a humorous personality, calm and steady work, excellent academic performance, and a high level of online writing creation.
To be honest, it is really strange to meet such a boy these days.
What's more, from Xu Youyu's mouth, Xu Rong also learned that Li Luo could actually play the guitar and even write his own songs.
Among them, "Rings of the Year", which was originally written by Li Luo in the novel, was spotted by singer Yuan Wanqing and selected as the theme song of the TV series, which became an instant hit.
According to Xu Youyu, the protagonists of the entertainment novels written by Li Luo directly copy existing classic works in the real world.
For readers, what they want to watch is the exciting plot of these classic works killing people in the novel world.
Analyzing it from a reader's perspective, Xu Rongsheng can also appreciate the fun and expectations.
Therefore, Li Luo's practice of writing his own original songs into entertainment novels is one of the very few among such authors.
And among these very few, it is the only one who has actually produced an original song and has even been sung by a singer to the point of becoming a hit.
From this, we can also see the excellence of Li Luo.
Xu Rongsheng originally thought that the achievement of a monthly manuscript fee of 370,000 yuan was already an exaggeration for a person of Li Luo's age.
Unexpectedly, there was something even more exaggerated.
The song "Rings of the Year" became a hit, how huge are the interests behind it?
Even if you can't get too much profit as a pure songwriter, you can never earn only 370,000 yuan.
Just this song "Rings of the Year" has brought Li Luo an estimated income of more than 370,000 yuan.
And this is indeed the case.
From the original 80,000 RMB buyout of the copyright fee for the TV series theme song of "Rings of the Year" to Yuan Wanqing's additional copyright fee for appearing on various variety shows, and the subsequent 200,000 temporary supplementary tickets, and the subsequent supplementary contracts signed, it all adds up.
Get up, the income has already exceeded 370,000.
What's more, I heard from Xu Youyu that Li Luo wrote more than just one song. Since there was "Annals of the Year" before, he might have sold a lot of songs privately.
Looking at it this way, is it possible that writing books is not considered Li Luo’s most profitable business?
When he thought of this, Xu Rongsheng was a little stunned.
It is really scary for a high school student to have such exaggerated earning power.
The key is that while Li Luo is making so much money, he still maintains his humility and composure, without any of the arrogance of a young man who is proud of his success.
Such quality is truly commendable.
Xu Rongsheng has seen and heard of many people who became famous at a young age, but those who can reach Li Luo's level are really rare.
It is really reasonable to call him a young talent.
And after being reminded by Xu Youyu, Xu Rongsheng recalled: "Your mother is my pride? I remember this is the lyrics, right? Your mother often hums this song when cooking recently."
"...it's my pride." Xu Youyu was speechless, "You heard wrong."
"Ahem... Let me tell you, why are the lyrics so strange? It's mainly because your mother sings with an accent."
The father and daughter were chatting like this, with Li Luo as the core of the topic. Xu Youyu was chatting very enthusiastically, and Xu Rongsheng was also happy to listen.
After chatting for more than half an hour, the food was almost finished.
The two people stopped using their chopsticks and took a break.
Xu Youyu took out her phone and scrolled through it, and saw that Li Luo had sent her a lot of photos of the dinner party on QQ, which made her feel envious.
[Going to bed early will make you taller]: You deserve to die! You just eat it yourself and you post photos to show off!
[Reignited]: Aren’t I thinking about my senior sister? I’ll send you some photos to satisfy your craving.
[Go to bed early and you will grow taller]: Then I have to thank you? I can’t eat while riding a horse, so can you still feed it to me from the other side of the screen?
[Reignited]: That’s definitely not possible, but I can pack some for you. What do you want to eat?
[Going to bed early will make you taller]: Forget it, why not treat me to a supper in the evening.
[Reignited]: That’s okay. I’ll treat you when I finish coding in the evening. Have you and your uncle gone back to the hotel?
【Go to bed early and you will grow taller】: Not yet, but I have finished eating and will go back soon.
[Reignited]: Well, I’m almost done here. They’re all ready to go out to play, so I’ll go back to the hotel first.
[Go to bed early and you will grow taller]: Yeah! We’ll be back soon! Let’s code together at night!
[Reignited]: Got it, but did your dad explain it clearly?
[Going to bed early will make you taller]: Don’t worry, my dad is very easy to talk to. We have explained clearly enough, but don’t talk about the materials we collected, lest he talk to me again.
【Reignited】:Understood.
After chatting with Li Luo, Xu Youyu finished the drink in his cup, turned to look at Xu Rongsheng, and found that his father was holding his mobile phone, sliding the screen carefully, not knowing what he was looking at.
Xu Youyu walked over curiously and asked in confusion: "Dad, what are you looking at?"
"Oh, I'm reading a novel written by Li Luo." Xu Rongsheng turned to his phone and glanced at Xu Youyu, "I've heard of the time-travel elements in "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" before."
"But concepts like parallel worlds and system cheats are the first time I've seen them in a novel."
"If you look at it this way, it's quite novel. No wonder young people nowadays like to watch it."
Xu Rongsheng commented while watching it, "How should I put it, it gives people a sense of absurdity but also very reasonable."
"If there really is such a parallel world, the history there will be different from ours from ancient times to the present, and all cultural works will be different."
"And the protagonist has a so-called system that can provide all excellent works in the real world."
"Then for readers, they will look forward to the protagonist producing those excellent works that are recognized by the world and shining in the parallel world."
"This method of starting with a straight to the point, going straight to the point, and grabbing the reader's attention instantly is indeed somewhat progressive."
"At least as far as my reading experience is concerned, only a few works such as "One Million Pounds" and "Robinson Crusoe" can give me this sense of expectation from the beginning."
"Compared with the two works I mentioned above, this novel written by Li Luo is obviously more direct and concise in shaping the expectations at the beginning, and it can even be said to be rough on the readers' faces."
"I just pulled the readers' ears and told them directly what interesting content I will write later. You should hurry up and read it."
"Looking at it this way, there can be a reasonable explanation for the length of the online article."
"After all, as long as there is a steady stream of excellent realistic works, we can naturally write for a long time and repeat the same plot pattern."
Xu Rongsheng took the time to read Li Luo's book at noon. So far, he has only read twenty or thirty chapters, but he has already summarized a lot of things.
Xu Youyu listened to his father's analysis and he immediately suppressed his smile and nodded repeatedly.
When he thought that Li Luo's books would be read by his father, Xu Youyu suddenly felt a little gloating in his heart.
But then he thought about it, Li Luo had saved himself from disaster, so Xu Youyu still tried his best to suppress his smile and maintain his seriousness on the surface.
"What you said makes sense, Dad. The following plots are actually very similar in terms of quoting real-life classic works." Xu Youyu nodded and said, "But it just can't stand the beauty. The more readers read, the more addicted they become and they can't stop.
.”
"The routines don't need to be old, they just need to be useful." Xu Rongsheng laughed and said, "Even those masterpieces that are called classics are really worth every penny. If you are picky, which one can deviate from the logic of the story itself?"
"For example, "Robinson Crusoe", the original title when it was first published was actually not called this. It was already a simplified version."
"The actual title of the book contains more than sixty English words, and when translated, it roughly means——"
"The Strange Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, a York sailor: telling how he survived a shipwreck, drifted alone to the coast of America, and lived on an uninhabited desert island near the mouth of the Oroonok River.
28 years later, how he was miraculously saved by the pirates. Written by himself"
"Like Li Luo, in order to retain readers as much as possible from the beginning, Defoe specially chose such an absurdly long title for this book.
You can be attracted by it with just your eyes.”
"And the content of his entire book mainly revolves around the story of Robinson Crusoe's survival and development step by step after he was stranded on the island. If you really want to say it, it is just a series of routines connected one after another."
"But that doesn't stop it from becoming a classic."
After hearing what his father said, Xu Youyu immediately smiled and nodded, and said to him: "This also has a genre in online literature. We call it farming literature. It is mainly about the protagonist developing his own power or territory, and gradually becoming rich, powerful and prosperous.
.”
"You see, there is actually no such clear dividing line between online literature and so-called traditional literature. There is inheritance and innovation in between." Xu Rongsheng said with a smile, "When you say this, I want to do it even more.
Let’s study more about the field of online writing.”
With that said, Xu Rongsheng withdrew from the reading page of "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" and showed his Qidian bookshelf in the direction of Xu Youyu.
A bunch of books have been added above, all of which are works that won awards at the award ceremony today.
"I plan to take the time to read all these books during the winter vacation, at least read the beginning, and get a general understanding of the current form of online writing." As he said that, Xu Rongsheng clicked on one of them seemingly casually.
What a coincidence, it is "The Age of Literature and Art", which tells you that you will grow taller if you go to bed early. "You see, this book seems to be about the film industry at the beginning of the century. I see that Li Luo also commented in detail on his writer account. It should be
Not bad either.”
Xu Youyu watched this scene with helpless eyes. When her father mentioned her book, her heart beat wildly in her chest and she almost stopped breathing.
"Um...Dad..." Xu Youyu said with difficulty, "You don't have to work so hard, right? There are so many words on the Internet, I think it would be good if you read Li Luo's book first."
"Are you still worrying about this for me?" Xu Rongsheng said with a smile, "It's okay. I usually read a lot of books. It's good to change my taste occasionally. This will be my pastime in the future."
Hearing Xu Rongsheng say these words, and then looking at the "Literary Age" lying on his mobile phone, Xu Youyu suddenly felt that his eyesight went dark, as if the world was spinning.
Just now she was holding back her laughter while watching Xu Rongsheng read a novel written by Li Luo. She didn't expect retribution to come so quickly.
When Xu Youyu thought that his father would read the book he wrote, he felt like he could hardly breathe.
But in this case... I can't even let my father know about my secret writing of novels!
Otherwise, how could she live?
Thinking of this, Xu Youyu's expression became firmer.
Xu Rongsheng, who was observing the expression on his daughter's face, put away his phone and stood up with a teasing smile in his eyes, and went to the front desk to check out.
Chapter completed!
