Reborn Tycoon Rise

Xu Zhidao: "But if you can have a high-quality million-dollar novel serialized in your newspaper, the profit will be far more than 300,000, not to mention that you can also build your own brand during this period. Ming Pao back then was It was so successful.”

Lin Wenzhou replied: "That's what I say, but there are rules in this industry. Whoever breaks the rules first will probably be targeted by everyone, not to mention that Jin Yong is the Taishan Beidou in the literary world..."

Lin Wenzhou didn't say anything else, Xu Zhi smiled and said: "If you don't believe in the quality of my novels, then there is no need to talk about it!"

Kunlun's quality has been tested by the market, and now Xu Zhi has a certain confidence in negotiating this area.

Lin Wenzhou said: "That's not what I meant. Our newspaper is also a company and needs risk assessment. The fee we give you is a small matter. If we invest heavily in news development and the quality of the novels is not good in the future, our small company cannot afford it. Get up!"

Xu Zhidao: "As far as I know, Ming Pao's reliance on novels was just an exception. Other newspapers have relied on their own news and business methods to get to where they are today. How come my novels have to bear business responsibilities?" Like?"

Lin Wenzhou shook his head and said: "Those newspapers are all well-funded or developed after a long period of operation. They asked Oriental Daily to hire more than a hundred journalists when they first opened, and they also owned their own properties. Small newspapers like ours, even The monthly rent is a headache, and investing too much at one time is really risky!”

Xu Zhidao: "So I'm talking to you about manuscript fees, and you're talking to me about the risks of your newspaper? I'm not a shareholder of your newspaper, so your risks are none of my business? Does it mean that if you give me less money, the risks will be lower?"

Lin Wenzhou was speechless for a moment and said: "Then I will go back and discuss it with the boss. I will call you if there is any news?"

Although the two had met several times, they were not close friends. Lin Wenzhou exchanged a few words before leaving.

"Goodbye Lin Sheng, I hope we have another chance to cooperate in the future!"

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it!" After shaking hands, Lin Wenzhou left.

A few days later, in Zhai's small house

Xu Zhi sat at the table boredly. Kunlun had finished writing for a while, but his hands were still sore. The parts in contact with the pen had no feeling. Even if he pinched it with his fingernails, there was no severe pain. I still feel sore and weak when I make a fist.

The condition of his right hand has made him afraid to write another novel. Unfortunately, it is now 1977, and Apple's new computer, the Apple II, must have just been released. I don't know in what month it was released. If there was one, Xu Zhi would like to buy it, but the price is too expensive. It costs at least one to two thousand US dollars. He cannot afford the price. What's more, there is no Chinese character input method in this era, and he can only type in English after buying it.

There was no news in the past few days, so Xu Zhi wrote a rough plot of Drunken Master.

Fortunately, the movie is not long. Xu Zhi first wrote down all the dialogues, and then wrote down the background and environment of each shot. Martial arts movies of this era have almost no plot. Those who have watched Drunken Master should also know that, A fight broke out over a disagreement. From the perspective of future generations, they were just a group of lunatics who had no conflict of interest whatsoever, and they were beaten to a bloody head.

But that’s what trends are like. In this era, people like to watch movies like this. What can you do? People all over the world still like square cars, so cars are all square. This is also true for the Santana Jeep introduced into the country in the 1980s. In later generations, these cars will be as ugly as they want, but in this era People just like it.

It took me a few days and several times of writing to finally write out each plot, with dialogue and scene descriptions for each shot.

This is a script worth millions. In order to prevent the information from being leaked, a lot of internet slang and Simplified Chinese dialects with the same pronunciation and different characters are used in it. Anyway, only Xu Zhi can understand it.

After confirming that there was no major problem, Xu Zhi stood up, slammed dozens of joints in his hands, stretched, and glanced at the alarm clock on the table. It was almost 11 o'clock.

Although Xu Zhi can make money now, he still stays at home for a long time, so the glorious task of cooking is given to him.

In his previous life, he lived alone for several years and would often cook some side dishes, so there was no problem in this regard. The novel had been finished and Xu Zhi was relatively free, so he was happy to take over the kitchen.

It’s not that the people of Xiangjiang will never understand that this city has both unlimited opportunities and endless misery for everyone.

The public housing where Xu Zhi's family lives is only 400 square feet in total, but it is divided into three rooms. Basically, each room can only accommodate a small bed. The walls around the bed are full of cabinets, which can store some ordinary clothes. There is also a fan slightly larger than the iron pot on the top. Fortunately, there is almost no winter in Xiangjiang, otherwise there would be no place to put those thick clothes. Xu Zhi usually writes novels in his room, and there is no desk at all. There is a small, high table on the bed, and people sit on the bed and write.

Xu Zhi can tolerate the smaller room. When it's cold, he crawls under the covers. When it's hot, the air conditioner is turned on. Everyone's room door is open. Anyway, the house is small and one air conditioner is enough.

But the most unbearable thing is the kitchen and bathroom. People can hardly turn around when standing in the kitchen. The refrigerator cannot be placed and can only be placed outside, occupying the already small space in the living room.

The bathroom is even more ridiculously small, and the toilet is incredibly small. The space is so small that as long as you are taking a shower, you can't even take a step forward. Most of the time, you have to sit on the toilet to do it. Even so, it's still the same as flying in economy class. Want to straighten your feet? Either dream or stand still.

In fact, these are not problems. The problem is:

The kitchen and bathroom are together!

The kitchen and bathroom are on the same line!

There is only one curtain in the kitchen and bathroom! ! !

If you want to enter the bathroom, you have to go through the kitchen

Because the width is too small, the sliding door cannot be installed.

This is the most nightmare place. Think about it when you are cooking and the small space makes you sweat profusely. Suddenly, a person rushes in, slips through the gap between you and the wall, and then opens the curtain. , performing indescribable physiological behaviors, and occasionally making bursts of melancholy sounds.

Although everyone is a family and try to avoid this kind of thing, sometimes this kind of demand cannot be controlled, so every time before cooking, you basically have to ask who wants to use the bathroom, and they have to come down, which basically alleviates the problem. A lot of embarrassment.

But in Xiangjiang, this kind of level is still average, and there are many people who are even worse than Xu Zhi’s family. Some families have more than a dozen people crowded together, and the room is filled with several layers of beds. The family still lives in the house after their sons get married. Together, we still stayed together after having children. It was not until I applied for public housing that I felt relieved.

Many public housing estates and old residences use public restrooms. The space is larger and more people can be used. In many cases, the time to queue up to take a bath is longer than commuting to get off work. And the bath and bathroom are also in the same place. I don’t know where the tradition comes from.

Of course, there are those at the lower level who rent beds and live with dozens of strangers, with the beds surrounded by wires on several sides. This is called cage living, and the real space for activities is not even as good as a prison.

Fortunately, there was no one at home at noon. My younger sister went to school and her parents hadn't come back yet. I took out a few dishes from the small refrigerator - the dishes were exchanged. Xu Zhi's family usually exchanged the seafood that had just died for some unsold ones. Vegetables, this saves losses. Although it is not big, it can save a lot of expenses at home.
