Chapter 357 + Chapter 358
Chapter 357:
Since Han Zihe arrived in City B with the army, her writing career has gradually reached a new height.
In Chen Ming's words, City B is his base camp. Once he reaches his territory, if he can't provide some benefits to his authors and friends nearby, is that even possible?!
As the vice president of Graphics Group, Mr. Chen Ming, who is not prepared to fight against his brother because his brother is the president, probably will never be able to get rid of the word "vice" in this life.
This guy claims to have no ambitions and doesn't want to make a name for himself on his own, so he is still very interested in the work of the graphic group.
In terms of specific manifestations, as far as matters related to Han Zihe are concerned, this girl has been as busy as a top in recent years.
Because the novella "Mercenaries in the Grass" became inexplicably popular among readers, from Zhan Zhan's birth to the present, the novel has been made into movies and TV series one after another, and was first developed into a stand-alone game
The game was then upgraded to an online game at the request of book fans, movie fans, TV fans, and game fans. According to Chen Ming, several large-scale online game developers wanted to incorporate it into their game to expand maps; and recently, Han Zihe
I just signed a contract to develop a novel and call it a mobile game.
With the popularity of this novel, Han Zihe was pushed from behind the scenes to the front by the graphic publishing house, and several book signings are held every year.
Especially this year, the release of her new book "The Feminine Strategy" from Graphic Publishing House pushed her writing career to a higher climax.
This fictional historical novel about the Queen caused a sensation as soon as it was published.
In this time and space in recent years, it is not that there have been no physical books publishing time travel novels and rebirth novels, but the authors have focused their writing on house fights and palace fights. No author has ever expanded the battlefield of women to the battlefield and the court, let alone any
The author uses various conspiracies and plots to replace love and hatred in his writing.
At the beginning of the story, the heroine, who has lost all passion for "love", steps onto the steps of the palace that represents the supreme power and honor.
What is even more valuable about this novel is that, although every part of it exposes the darkness and ugliness of human figures and interests, when reading the whole novel, there is no depression or sadness brought by dark writing.
It is clear. It is under the bright sunshine with blue sky and white clouds. The things that the author wants to show to everyone appear naked. Black smoke is emitting in the sunshine.
According to the feedback of readers who have read this novel many times, the first time I read this book, it was so catchy that it made me laugh until my stomach hurt. The second time I read it, I laughed with tears.
; After reading it for the third and fourth time, I was healed with tears, and I couldn’t help but be filled with emotion.
Everyone in the story has a good and bad side, but no one can easily judge their good or evil just because of their good or bad; in other words, there are good people who make people angry, and there are evil people who make people cry.
The lower side.
Even the protagonist that the author worked hard to create, the empress who finally ascended the throne, makes people grit their teeth and feel pity.
The winner is a prince and the loser is a thief. She is different from the queen mothers and queens who have appeared in the history of China. Except for her parents, she can show her childlike innocence. Even for her own children, she has tried her best.
.
However, readers can only look at this with admiration and no criticism - not that they agree with what she did, but that in a place full of power struggles, this is the only way she can remain undefeated.
…
"This book has to be signed for film and television rights again, what do you think?" In the coffee shop, Chen Ming leaned on the back of his chair, crossed his legs, sipping coffee leisurely, and looked at Han Zihe who was browsing the electronic contract on his laptop.
asked.
"This contract is good." Han Zihe looked up at him and said with a smile, "Since I said I have full authority to let you worry about it, I naturally trust you."
"It's not a matter of trust or distrust." Chen Ming chuckled and raised the corners of his lips, "I mean, if you have any requests, you can tell me and I will fight for you."
"I'm quite contented, so let's leave it like this for now!" Han Zihe didn't say anything, and said with some leeway, "If I have any ideas, I won't hide them from you."
When Chen Ming heard this, he nodded, put down the coffee cup in his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay! There is no need for those polite words between us...otherwise, giving in three times will be too boring."
Han Zihe nodded in agreement and said, "By the way, I have to tell you something."
"Say it!" Chen Ming put on a posture of listening attentively.
"Like this, you also know that my son is growing up little by little, and I will have to worry about and work hard on his education in the future, so in the future, you have to find a way to reduce the cost for me during this kind of book signing tours and face-to-face meetings.
Reduce as much as you want."
"Hey! You can tell me that you are indifferent to fame and fortune, but you burst into laughter when you see the remuneration and various bonuses. You can say that you are a money addict. You are eager for authors.
Don't you know how much impact this kind of autograph signing and meeting will have on the author?" Chen Ming raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Han Zihe listened to what he said for a long time, but did not respond directly to her request. He couldn't help but said: "What does it matter if it doesn't affect me? I don't wholeheartedly want to be in politics...Besides, as long as I
If the works are uninterrupted and the quality is not lost, the number of readers will definitely not drop much. After all, there will be gains and losses. In the final analysis, the works will speak for themselves.
Moreover, as long as the quality of my works continues to improve and readers and fans continue to support me, will I still have to worry about my remuneration and various bonuses? On the contrary, my children are more important. The little ones grow up in the blink of an eye. This kind of irreversible timeline
Important matters must be paid attention to."
"Okay! I can't help you! As long as you are happy!" Chen Ming shook his head helplessly.
"Did you agree or not? Don't just shake your head! Give me an accurate number!" Han Zihe pointed at the table as a reminder.
When Chen Ming saw her looking so serious, he was so angry and laughed that he couldn't help but chew his teeth: "Are you a well-known writer? You can't even understand the meaning of these words?"
"Whether you hear it or not is one thing. The key point is that I need you to give me the right words!" Han Zihe naturally ignored his provocation. He was so naive. He thought he could fool her by saying ambiguous words.
Beautiful him!
At this point, Chen Ming could only nod his head: "Agree! Of course I agree with both hands and feet raised! As long as your fans and book fans have no objections! Let's talk about it first! If they protest, I won't use it as a shield for you.
!”
"The Rebirth of a Military Wife"
Chapter 358:
"How can there be less such a high-end term as shield!" When Han Zihe heard Chen Ming's agreement, he immediately became interested in joking with a smile on his face, "When the time comes, don't we need your help, President Chen?"
When she saw Chen Ming's other eyebrow, she also raised her eyebrows. She immediately said: "Besides, I am an author, and I don't rely on my reputation! I am different from celebrities and artists. I rely on my works."
"It's not just a face that makes people easy to criticize!" Chen Ming couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw that his author and good friend was taking advantage of him. "Singers make money from records and attract fans; movie stars make money from movies and TV series.
Attract film and television fans to turn the box office! Even idols have to rely on their own strength..."
"Then why do they have so many plastic surgeries?" Han Zihe rolled his eyes, imitating his example.
This sentence really blocked Chen Ming's words. He choked and stared at her for a while, then he nodded as if he had resigned himself to his fate and canceled the long speech he had prepared with one click.
The two chatted and joked for a while, then got back to business.
"By the way, the materials you asked me to help import were detained by the customs. I'm afraid they won't be able to get them back for a while." Chen Ming suddenly remembered what he wanted to say before coming here today.
"What?" Han Zihe, who was drinking coffee, almost choked when he asked him to say this. He quickly put down the exquisite enamel coffee cup in his hand, twisted up a paper towel with his other hand, and wiped away the lingering coffee elegantly and quickly.
Holding the coffee at the corner of his lips, he asked him quickly, "It's just some materials, and the customs detained them?"
As soon as he said the words, Han Zihe immediately realized that what he said was a bit inappropriate, and immediately said: "I'm not talking about you, I'm just wondering about the customs' practices... By the way, do I need to find someone to do it myself?"
"Hey! Freda, what you said before is fine, and I won't think too much about our relationship, but what you say next slaps me in the face!" Chen Ming's eyes widened and he said, "Please, please
I'm getting the materials, I promised you, this thing must be delivered to you by me, then it can be considered as completing the task! Oh, you asked me to do something, but I didn't do it well, and you still have to ask me to do it halfway.
If I take action myself, wouldn’t that be a disgrace to me?”
"Okay then! I listen to your good news!" Han Zihe nodded speechlessly, expressing confusion about their line of thinking.
Of course, she asked Chen Ming to help with this matter. She didn't want to criticize others too much, so she could only shrug and change the subject: "By the way, you are also the one who writes articles on Tianxing.com."
You know, right?"
Han Zihe's words made Chen Ming, who had a strong sense of business, immediately increase his concentration.
"I wrote the book Battleship 1923 on the main channel, and a company wanted to buy my film and television rights." Han Zihe said happily, "Isn't this the year before last, I signed a new contract with Tianxing.com,
Explain that the film and television copyright of the work belongs to myself... I have discussed with Tianxing.com about selling the copyright before. They are not particularly enthusiastic about this aspect and said that I should make my own decision. So, I thought, let's
Does Graphic Group have any business in this area?”
"Even if it doesn't happen, it must be there!" Chen Ming was thinking about this matter in his mind. "Originally, I was thinking about it before, and if I had the chance, I could have a good talk with you... You know, we
Graphics Group cannot only occupy the physical book market, even if it integrates magazines and newspapers, it is far from being able to meet our long-term development plan."
"The group intends to expand the entertainment market?" Han Zihe blinked. After thinking about it, he knew that with Chen Ming's courage, it is impossible to satisfy a simple market share. The cake must be bigger and better to gain a bigger share.
Profit margins.
"It's not just about entertainment, film and television," Chen Ming smiled and nodded, then shook his head and said, "You also know that in recent years, domestic and international e-sports have also been developing faster and faster."
Having said this, he looked at Han Zihe expectantly.
Seeing this, Han Zihe couldn't help but said: "You mean, you want to form your own team in terms of graphics and text?"
"It's not just that." Chen Ming said with a smile, "The game has a wide range of age groups and a large audience, which is very eye-catching!"
"Especially in recent years, whether it is children's games used in early childhood education, stand-alone games, or very convenient mobile games, as well as online games with extremely wide profit margins, they are all very eye-catching. In recent years, there have been
If you look at how popular the vegetable-growing game is, you will know that people are also very pursuing and eager for the entertainment, practicality and usability of the game."
"Is there an inconsistent gap between the great material wealth and spiritual entertainment?" Han Zihe understood.
After hearing this, Chen Ming not only nodded: "It can be said that, anyway, in the world today, except for overseas distribution and development of several major online games, few can attract a large number of regular players."
"Be careful if there are parents nearby who overhear this and come to settle a score with you!" Han Zihe suddenly teased.
Also, the popularity of online games has indeed made the bad phenomenon of "Internet addiction" inevitable among adults and children.
In response, Chen Ming shrugged and said: "In terms of preventing children from being addicted to games, our company must naturally take some precautions, but..."
He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he lowered his tone and smiled at Han Zihe: "But we are businessmen after all, not dedicated to charity work... Even as a teacher on the education front, we may not
To control the students... in the final analysis, it is up to both the parents and the school to catch them."
"That's off topic! Capitalist!" Han Zihe laughed after hearing the confession of the capitalist in front of him.
"No digression, I haven't finished what I said!" Chen Ming glanced at Han Zihe and said with interest, "Education is fun! Everything can teach the audience what they need... Oh, specifically,
I won’t tell you anymore. We’ll talk about it after the branches under our group make results!”
"Okay, then I'll wait and see!" Han Zihe nodded. She didn't have much interest in games or anything like that. Although she had enough hand speed and had some experience in games, she couldn't get interested in playing.
To use the laughing words of her comrades on earth in her previous life, that is: "I've had enough fun with real swords, real guns, and live ammunition, so what more games do I need!"
Chen Ming also saw that Han Zihe was not very interested in games, so he could only curl his lips and return to the previous topic: "I said so much, what I mean is, do you think you should sell the copyright to our company? ... Don't worry, although now
