Xu Zhou uploaded the 70,000-word text to the Tayue novel website.
Li Porter continued to smile and wave, even though it felt a bit like losing a loved one. Watching his son leave his side...
The last trace of steam disappeared and the train turned.
"He'll be fine!" Ginny muttered.
Li Bot looked at her, lowered his head blankly, and pressed the lightning-shaped scar on his forehead.
"I know he will."
In the past 19 years, Li Bot's scar has never hurt again, and everything seems normal...
Many readers came to the tower to read and catch a glimpse of the final chapter of "Lee Porter and Magic".
Whether it is the book review section or various social platforms such as Douyin Scarf, there are naturally a lot of comments related to the completion of Li Bot.
Xu Zhou has created one record after another since he updated "Lee Porter and Magic".
Whether it is the backend collection or various votes, it is much higher than the data of Xu Zhou's previous book "Zhu Xian".
good.
A series of previous online records were all maintained by "Zhu Xian".
Now Xu Zhou has just pushed these records to a new level.
"Lee Porter and Magic" is finished.
Many readers are reluctant to give up.
But some people are quite happy.
Naturally, I read other authors.
Only when Xu Zhou's novel is finished will other readers be able to vote for them.
When Xu Zhou's novel is updated, most readers will vote for Li Bot, which naturally makes other authors unhappy.
Now Xu Zhou is like a mountain pressing on them, breathless and full of pressure.
Some authors even complained privately.
If Xu Zhou doesn't engage in music and entertainment, why would he come here to write novels?
"Xu Zhou, when do you plan to release the new book?"
As soon as Xu Zhou completed his novel application, editor Zixu came to inquire about Xu Zhou's new book.
Xu Zhou replied with a smile: "The donkeys in the production team are not that capable, right? I just finished it, and you asked me to start a new book? You should take some rest at least."
"Of course you need to rest, but I don't believe you haven't thought about your new book. What topics are you going to write about it?" Zixu asked again.
Xu Zhou replied truthfully: "I haven't decided on the subject yet, so I might write a martial arts novel."
"Martial arts?"
"I advise you to be cautious. It's not easy to write martial arts novels nowadays. Many readers don't like to read martial arts novels anymore. Although you have many fans, they may not buy them. Like "Zhu Xian" and "Lee Porter and Magic"
These all belong to the theme of magic, fantasy and immortality, and readers like to read this type of stuff."
Zixu wanted Xu Zhou to continue writing such popular subjects.
But Xu Zhou had his own considerations.
Although this kind of novel is good, it is not easy to be made into a TV series.
Xu Zhou wants to turn his novel into a big IP.
Although fantasy novels can also be adapted into TV series, it is more difficult. There are always battles in them, which is a great test of the production ability of the crew, especially the use of special effects.
But martial arts novels don’t have to worry about this kind of problem.
For example, in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" starring Louis Koo and Gu Gu, the waterfalls in it were directly replaced with plastic sheets, and the scene matching was very simple.
But the TV series shot under such conditions are still classics after decades.
This is how the mediocre Louis Koo came out.
Xu Zhou also wanted to present the martial arts novels in the system to the world.
But there is no rush about the new book.
Now that "Lee Porter and Magic" has just been completed, it won't be too late to release a new book in the future.
He has a more important thing to do.
Discuss with Qingcheng Entertainment about the next few scripts of "Love Apartment".
Ten o'clock in the evening.
Lu Song met Xu Zhou at a hot pot and barbecue food stall.
Of course in a private room.
When I saw Lu Song.
Xu Zhou was very surprised and asked: "I asked you to come to dinner. Why did you wear a helmet? You came here on a battery car?"
Lu Song took off his helmet and teased: "Aren't you going to a barbecue restaurant? You're afraid of being beaten by others. It's safer to wear a helmet."
Xu Zhou understood his mood.
If he hadn't had martial arts skills, he wouldn't have dared to come to the barbecue stall.
Ahem.
Put this matter aside.
Everyone started talking about "Love Apartment".
Lu Song already knew that Xu Zhou had met with his old director Su Shenxing.
In the company.
Not many people know about the relationship between Su Luoxi and Su Shenxing.
He, Lu Song, counts as one.
Lu Song is confident that he can win the script behind "Love Apartment" at a very low price.
After eating the roasted lamb loin just served by a waiter, Lu Song said: "Xu Zhou, now that the first part of "Love Apartment" is becoming more and more popular, can our second and third parts also be put on the schedule to start filming?
, try to release it in the shortest possible time so that the audience doesn’t have to wait too long.”
Xu Zhou said: "That's what I meant."
The original version and the fifth part of "Love Apartment" came out quite late.
Many viewers didn't particularly buy the fifth part.
Because in this film, the most popular protagonist, Zeng Xiaoxian, is a walk-on, many viewers questioned that the fifth film was about selling feelings to make money.
fortunately.
There is Zhuge Dali inside.
Without Zhuge Dali.
The fifth part of "Love Apartment" will definitely be cool.
What really fooled the audience was the big movie "Love Apartment". When it was promoted, it was a love apartment, but when it was released, it turned into a tomb robbing. I don't know how many viewers cursed it at that time.
Lu Song cooked another lamb kidney and ate several oysters.
This made Xu Zhou secretly lament, Lu Song, this is my waist!
Xu Zhou was different.
He usually never likes things like mutton loin and oysters.
He always eats old hens stewed with beef whip.
Ahem.
After eating some barbecue, Lu Song felt that his back was a little stiff.
He started to get to the point and said: "Xu Zhou, as for the script, what do you think is the right price? The company definitely wants to buy all the next four scripts."
Xu Zhou said: "Although the first one was a big hit, I won't raise the price without asking for more. How about three million?"
Upon hearing the number three million, Lu Song breathed a sigh of relief.
Four scripts were acquired for three million, which was quite cheap.
It can almost be said that winning four scripts for three million is almost the same as picking up four scripts for nothing.
He spent two to three million on the first one.
It seems that Xu Zhou knew that the CEO of Qingcheng Entertainment was Luo Xi's father and deliberately sold "Love Apartment" to the company at a low price.
Lu Song said happily: "The price of three million is quite suitable. We will sign the contract tomorrow and let the finance department give you the three million."
Xu Zhouyi was stunned, what three million.
He said: "Director Lu, I mean one script is three million, and the total is twelve million."
Forehead.
Lu Song was shocked.
It turns out that Xu Zhou was talking about three million yuan.
Based on the value of the first film, this price is quite reasonable, and Xu Zhou really didn't raise the price.
If Xu Zhou sells the script to other entertainment companies, maybe one copy can be sold for four to five million.
The first part was so popular, I don’t know how many people are staring at this piece of fat.
When the first film was signed, there was no rule that Xu Zhou could not sell the scripts for the subsequent films to other companies.
Lu Song is a smart man.
When he saw that Su Luoxi was silent and had a natural look on her face, he knew that the price of three million copies was Xu Zhou's true thoughts.
Therefore, although he felt a little awkward, he did not talk nonsense anymore, but said very simply: "Okay, we will sign an agreement tomorrow for three million yuan per unit. We will find some reporters tomorrow to report this matter in advance.
It is a warm-up for the next few episodes of "Love Apartment"."
Xu Zhou naturally had no objection.
He picked up a bunch of mutton and said to Lu Song: "Director Lu, it's a pleasure to work with you."
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Lu Song was still holding the roasted and sizzling lamb kidney in his hand.
Everyone enjoyed the meal quite happily.
In the end, Lu Song went out holding on to his waist.
He ate too much.
Xu Zhou was even more happy when he bought more than 10 million yuan.
We are one step closer to building our own fairy tale theme park.
According to previous reports from Time Travel, the total investment in Magic City Disneyland is more than 37 billion.
More than 10 million may seem like a lot, but to the capital giants, this is small amounts of money.
How much money does Xu Zhou make now?
It’s less than 100 million!
He must speed up his money-making plan.
...
The next day.
morning.
Xu Zhou and Su Luoxi came to the coffee shop.
Lao Zhou asked him to meet again.
Xu Zhou and Su Luoxi met Lao Zhou and Zeng Huiqiong again.
Today, Lao Zhou is full of energy. Although there is no smile on his face, there is always a smile in his eyes.
Next to him, Zeng Huiqiong, wearing a cheongsam, had a rosy face and was in excellent spirits.
I saw Xu Zhou arriving.
Lao Zhou directly held Xu Zhou's hands and said: "Xu Zhou, thank you!"
Lao Zhou said this thank you very solemnly.
Su Luoxi said from the side: "I think Aunt Zeng is in good spirits. Is she okay?"
Lao Zhou said with a smile: "Not only is there no serious problem, but now he is extremely healthy. When I went to the hospital for a checkup yesterday, the doctors couldn't believe it."
Zeng Huiqiong also said: "Xu Zhou Luoxi, thank you. If it weren't for Xu Zhou's song yesterday, I guess I would really be living in confusion in the future."
Su Luoxi said: "Why does Aunt Zeng want to thank me? The song yesterday was sung by Xu Zhou. Besides, if Xu Zhou didn't sing that song, maybe Aunt Zeng would also recover."
Zeng Huiqiong said: "Of course I want to thank you. Without you, Xu Zhou would not have appeared in this coffee shop, and there would not have been what happened yesterday. Without Xu Zhou's song, I would not have recovered, doctor
They say I can recover, maybe because listening to that song brought back past events in my mind."
Lao Zhou said with emotion: "So, we discussed it last night and thought about how to thank you. Finally, after much deliberation, we couldn't think of anything we could offer. It would be too tacky to give money. You are not short of money, so we decided to turn this coffee shop into something special.
The store will give it to you."
Before Su Luoxi could react, she said, "Xu Zhou and I are already running this coffee shop."
Lao Zhou smiled and said: "Not just the business, I will completely give this store to you. You won't have to pay rent in the future. This shop of several hundred square meters will be yours."
Damn it.
Xu Zhou was really surprised.
Lao Zhou is too arrogant.
Shops of several hundred square meters in Shanghai will give it away as soon as they are told.
It's no exaggeration to say that.
This shop of several hundred square meters is no cheaper than the few scripts he sold.
This is a magical city, a place where every inch of land is precious.
And this coffee shop is in a relatively prosperous area.
Lao Zhou actually wanted to give this shop to himself and Luo Xi. Xu Zhou was not surprised that it was impossible.
This gift cannot be said to be expensive, I can only say that it is too precious!
Xu Zhou refused and said, "Uncle Zhou, this shop is very valuable, we can't take it."
Su Luoxi also said: "Yes, besides, the rent of coffee shops is quite cheap now."
Su Luoxi naturally knew the value of this shop.
But Lao Zhou said: "You must accept it. If you don't accept it, we will feel uneasy. Besides, it is useless for us to have this shop. We are all over fifty years old. How much money is on my card? I
I don’t even know. Although I also have children, they are all abroad, and I don’t want to give this shop to them. If I give it to them, I don’t know how they will waste it!”
"After much deliberation, it is the most appropriate thing to give to you. Just treat it as the medical fee, and the medicine that cured my wife is the song yesterday."
“If you want this shop, you must have it, and if you don’t, you must have it!”
Lao Zhou's tone was quite serious.
This was the first time Xu Zhou encountered such a thing.
Lao Zhou continued: "I give this shop to you with conditions. From now on, you must continue to operate a coffee shop here and cannot use it for other purposes."
final.
With the repeated insistence of Lao Zhou and Zeng Huiqiong.
Xu Zhou reluctantly agreed to take over this eight-figure shop.
Isn’t it a bit Versailles?
Xu Zhou agreed.
Lao Zhou was very happy.
He said: "There are still procedures for the transfer agreement. I leave them to the lawyers to handle. I don't care. We will continue to travel abroad."
It seems that this happened.
Lao Zhou looked away completely.
I just want to travel around the world with my wife.
Before leaving.
Lao Zhou joked to Xu Zhou: "Xu Zhou, if we come to the store to drink coffee from now on, we can't charge our money."
Xu Zhou smiled and said: "This is natural."
Lao Zhou laughed heartily, and then he and Zeng Huiqiong left here happily.
Wait until Lao Zhou and Zeng Huiqiong leave.
Su Luoxi asked: "Xu Zhou, do you think we will be as happy as Uncle Zhou when we grow old?"
Xu Zhou said: "Of course!"
Su Luoxi said: "Uncle Zhou said that the name of this coffee shop can be changed. What do you think, Xu Zhou?"
Xu Zhou said: "It's probably because of the song yesterday. Since he mentioned it, it would be a good idea to change the name of the store. How about calling it the Corner Coffee Shop?"
Su Luoxi tilted her little head, and then said: "This is a good name, it sounds nice, and it fits the lyrics. When do you plan to record this song?"
Xu Zhou said: "When you make the album, we will record it together and put this song in it. Then we will create a brand new album. You will sing some songs, and I will sing some songs. Finally,
One more chorus."
Albums are often performed by one person alone.
What is an album? It is a personal collection of music.
However, Su Luoxi heard that Xu Zhou wanted to create an album in this way, and she was very interested.
Who said the songs in the album can only be sung by one person.
Su Luoxi said: "I feel that if an album like this is produced, it will definitely make fans happy."
Xu Zhou smiled and said: "I feel like they will say that we are spreading dog food again."
...
afternoon.
Green Orange Entertainment.
Reporters gathered.
In the hall.
Xu Zhou and Qingcheng Entertainment officially signed a cooperation agreement for "Love Apartment".
Xu Zhou and Lu Song signed the cooperation agreement and then shook hands with each other.
Reporters kept taking photos.
A few reporters even took the form of live broadcast.
Wait until the agreement is signed.
This was followed by a question-and-answer session from reporters.
A reporter asked: "Director Lu, when will the second part of "Love Apartment" be filmed?"
Lu Song replied: "Today we signed a cooperation agreement with Mr. Xu Zhouxu. All the scripts of "Love Apartment" created by him will be produced by Qingcheng Entertainment."
"As for when the second part will be filmed, my answer is in the near future. Not only the second part, we plan to shoot the second part and the fifth part in one go."
"That is to say, apart from the fact that after the first part is played, the audience will have a window period to watch it, the other parts will be seamlessly connected to the audience. After watching one part, a new one will be released!"
This proposal was put forward by Xu Zhou.
It’s just to make the audience enjoy watching it once.
At that time, he didn't know how uncomfortable he was waiting for the fifth part.
The reporter asked again: "If I shoot later, will it still be the original cast?"
This question was answered by Xu Zhou.
After all, he is the screenwriter and the main creative member of the crew.
Xu Zhou said: "From the first to the fifth part, we will keep the original cast. In addition, we can reveal that in the plots of the subsequent parts, in addition to the protagonists who appeared in the first part, there will also be new ones.
The protagonist.”
Later, Tang Youyou and Zhang Wei will have more scenes.
And Yumo.
At this time, a reporter asked Xu Zhou an irrelevant question.
He asked: "Xu Zhou, now that you have finished "Li Porter and Magic", when will your new book be released?"
Xu Zhou smiled bitterly.
Reporters are all chasing me here.
He said: "This is a digression. I can only say that the new book is being written. When will it be released? It will probably be released when the new book is uploaded."
The reporter felt that Xu Zhou said something, but also felt that he said nothing.
Xu Zhou deserves to be a writer of novels, and he knows nonsense literature very well.
Later, many reporters asked questions.
Xu Zhou and Lu Song took turns to answer.
It was reported that the subsequent series of "Love Apartment" will continue to cooperate with Qingcheng Entertainment, and the Internet naturally cheered.
Although the first part was a hit, many viewers were worried that the protagonists would change in the following parts.
Now everyone is relieved.
It's still the same creative staff and the same actors.
Although the agreement was signed.
But it will take some time until the second part is officially filmed.
After all, there is still casting to be done.
Xu Zhou will not recommend actors this time.
There is no suitable person among the people he knows.
The casting selection for the second film will definitely cause fierce competition within Qingcheng Entertainment.
Especially Tang Youyou, the second part officially launched.
"Love Apartment" is so popular, who wouldn't want to play the protagonist who officially debuts in the second part?
End of press conference.
Xu Zhou and Su Luoxi left Qingcheng Entertainment.
Also accompanying me along the way was Zhang Jing.
On the road.
Zhang Jing said to Su Luoxi: "Luoxi, a big brand has approached me and wants you to endorse their products. The fee is not low. Do you want to consider it?"
Xu Zhou was puzzled.
I am also very popular now.
Why are there no endorsements actively looking for you?
