But when she thought that what Lan Chen said about Mr. Zheng was boring, she immediately put away her curious expression and said calmly, "Then please come here, Mr. Lan."
The two went downstairs.
As soon as Miss Sun spoke, the storyteller on the stage also quickly got off the stage and gave up his position.
Seeing this change, the people on the first floor stopped playing with poems and songs, and all gathered around.
The dandy wants to write a book?
Something unheard of!
Looking at the bustling heads in the audience, Lan Chen couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
But he knows that this is an opportunity, an opportunity that he must not let go!
He picked up the folding fan on the table, swept it gently, and shook his head in style.
"One stone from heaven and earth gathered its essence and transformed it into a monkey."
"This monkey is fluent in human language, but also lively and naughty. He is proficient in eighteen kinds of martial arts, the way of seven-seven changes, and finally obtained the Dinghai Divine Needle!"
The gloomy eyes in the audience were gradually brightened by this story of a 'young hero'
"The Jade Emperor, feeling more and more interesting, summoned the heavenly court and recruited the immortals."
"Gods and gods may appear to be superior, but in fact they have strict rules and regulations, and everything must be avoided."
"When the monkey discovered this, he became even more uncomfortable. He simply went back to the Huaguo Mountain to set up his own business and called himself... the Monkey King!"
"The Jade Emperor was furious and felt that his majesty was offended, so he arrogantly destroyed Huaguo Mountain!"
Having said this, Lan Chen swallowed his saliva, and at the same time noticed the high mood of everyone. Some people's eyes almost popped out, and they just wanted to know what happened.
After his authority was questioned, his whole family was destroyed?
So annoying!
"After the monkey found out, he decided to fight against the Heavenly Palace, against the rules and regulations, and against all the injustices in the world. He wanted to make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace!"
"I said this sentence, if the sky presses me and splits the sky, if the earth restrains me and tramples the earth, we will be born free, who dares to stand high!"
"I want this sky, no longer able to cover my eyes. I want this land, no longer able to bury my heart. I want all living beings to understand my will, and I want all Buddhas to disappear into thin air!"
Taking a deep breath, Lan Chen paused again.
Many people's eyes turned red, as Chu Chuzhong seemed to see himself - the young man who once fantasized about traveling to the end of the world with a sword.
"I once asked this friend, the Great Sage, what he wanted to do here."
"He said that stepping on the southern sky will shatter the sky."
"I'll ask again, what if you never come back?"
"His answer is... he will never come back."
...
There was a moment of silence, and everyone was in a commotion. The heart that had been sleeping for a long time finally became hot again.
In a daze, I seemed to see a back figure, which looked like him, her, and myself. The back figure faced all kinds of hardships alone but still yearned for the so-called "freedom", was brave, and was strong.
I want it, I want it, I want it!
"Master Lan! Finally, is your friend back?"
Lan Chen smiled and said, "I actually learned this from a storybook called 'Journey to the West'. This monkey's name is Sun Wukong. There are a total of 120 stories, so I just told some of them.
some."
"We will continue to sell them at Tingyuge in the near future, so please pay attention."
"Journey to the West? I have never heard of it. Journey to the West, Journey to the West, what is there to see in the West?"
"Sun Wukong, Jade Emperor, Huaguo Mountain. That monkey is so brave, I can't even compare to him."
"Master Lan, let's continue talking. What happened next? What happened to the monkey in the end?"
Lan Chen smiled and said nothing.
He had imagined this kind of scene, but he didn't expect his emotions to be so high.
I think so.
Have you ever had this kind of pursuit of freedom and told your own adventure story?
He glanced at Miss Sun aside.
At this time, Miss Sun was also immersed in the story of Journey to the West. The moment the two people's eyes met, she also realized this.
She quickly said, "Everyone, please wait a few days. Tingyuge will definitely be fully prepared. Now please let Mr. Lan go down and rest."
At the same time, she also glanced at the storyteller.
Upon seeing this, the storyteller quickly stepped forward and caught Lan Chen's opening.
Then, Lan Chen came to the Accord on the third floor at Miss Sun's signal.
"Please sit down, Mr. Lan. This is Huangzhou's specialty Pu'er dragon tea. You can try it."
"Then you're welcome."
Lan Chen nodded with a smile, picked up the tea cup, and blew on it to dissipate the heat and retain the elegance. After tasting the aroma of the tea, he put it to his mouth and took a sip.
"Well, the tea is sweet and has an endless aftertaste. This is my first time to taste this kind of tea."
"You're kidding, Mr. Lan. You must have tasted the best tea because you are so pampered. As luck would have it, I actually have the same surname as Sun Wukong. My surname is Sun and my first name is Miaomiao."
"Three water are light, elegant water, Miaomiao, good name, good name." Lan Chen showed a faint smile.
He is not in a hurry.
Not only the reaction of the audience just now, but also Sun Miaomiao's lingering.
This all shows that the story of Journey to the West is very successful.
At this point the initiative is completely in your own hands.
The next step is to wait, wait patiently, and then...just sit back and raise the price.
Watching Lan Chen drink tea, he just looked at the Accord furnishings calmly and leisurely, as if nothing had happened...
How can it be so okay!?
I just told a story that made me want to know more about the aftermath!
Sun Miaomiao was restless and felt like there were countless ants crawling in her heart. She couldn't hold it in any longer, so she could only sigh and said, "Mr. Lan, was this script really written by you?"
"It can't be written by the so-called 'storyteller' Mr. Zheng, right?" Lan Chen teased.
"This..." Sun Miaomiao blushed so much that she wanted to find a crack to get in. "I was blinded just now. Please forgive Mr. Lan."
"Okay, then don't be so polite and just call him by his first name, right? Sun Miaomiao? So why did you ask me to come?"
"Since I'm so happy, I'll get straight to the point. This Journey to the West storybook has a total of one hundred and twenty chapters. On behalf of Tingyuge, I want to buy it. How about one hundred taels?"
Lan Chen looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was happy inside.
He knew that the price was high but not low, but he didn't expect Sun Miaomiao to be so generous.
but......
He had other plans.
"Let me think twice."
"Is this too low? But the price of a book is only ten cents."
"Just add a condition. When printing in the future, my name must be signed, and I will share 50% of the profit from every copy sold."
Sun Miaomiao looked troubled. This Lan Chen was really a lion.
"The signature is acceptable. But the profit sharing is a bit inappropriate. A book of ten books is only one tael for ten copies. You have to buy as much as you need to get back the original copy. What's more, you have to pay five yuan for each copy.
This is the first time I’ve heard of someone asking for a share of profits. I don’t know who gave you the courage.”
"How could it be improper?" Lan Chen smiled. "After all, it's not expensive. I'll sell it to you all 120 times. I only charge ten taels, plus the signature for the ten taels, and there will be subsequent profit sharing."
"This..." Sun Miaomiao's eyes moved, and she understood Lan Chen's meaning in an instant.
Give up the easy money and focus on the continuous income in the future.
But this has to be something that "Journey to the West" can buy.
If not, then it is all in vain.
Seeing that Sun Miaomiao was silent, Lan Chen immediately added, "Otherwise, if you really can't believe it, I will help you listen to Yuge's story telling for three more days, which will give you a lot of experience."
Thinking of what Lan Chen had said so vividly before, Sun Miaomiao nodded, "Before that, can you answer my question?"
