On the plane from Los Angeles to New York, Wang Jian is quietly reading the newspaper.
After politely rejecting Ellison's proposal, the other side did not choose to give up persuasion.
The tireless appearance made Wang Jian dare not take his Boeing 747.
In fact, the reason for his refusal is not only that he does not understand the operation mechanism of Hollywood, but also the problem of income inequality.
Oracle's plate in the capital market is too big. Ellison's so-called "good" rate will probably make him make money.
Twitter is just a newly listed emerging company with a top valuation of just a few hundred million dollars.
That little increase is not enough for the production cost!
"Alas, as an IP provider, isn't it good to charge authorization fees steadily?"
Wang Jian took the coffee from the stewardess and sipped it.
"Most of the gold diggers are starving to death, but Levi, who makes labor protection clothes, has become a world famous brand!"
"Wang, is it going back to villa or flushing?" After flirting with the stewardess, Tom came to Wang Jian.
"Go back to flushing first." Wang Jian picked up the file box and replied casually.
Who knows if the tycoon who doesn't play cards according to common sense will contact the writers to persuade Wang Jian to agree to this condition.
In order for the website to continue to attract writers, he can't say no.
So the easiest excuse for writers to understand is that they are creating new works.
I don't have the energy to do other things, and I can completely block the mouth of those respected writers.
When the new work is finished, "I'm so rich" will be released.
At that time, without Wang Jian's persuasion, Ellison would give up cooperation when he saw the dismal box office.
Thinking of this, the corner of Wang Jian's mouth was slightly raised.
I didn't expect that in order not to be classified as the blind operation of gender cognitive impairment, it's possible that I won't step on a big thunder!
Half an hour later, when he stepped into the office building in flushing.
In the office, several editors with publishing experience stood up first and began to applaud.
"Congratulations, Mr. Wang!" The most senior editor has a sincere expression on his face.
"At the age of 18, I became a member of the writers' Association."
Er...
Wang Jian, who is planning a new book, feels a little confused.
"Is this... Difficult?"
The editor was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face was very wonderful.
"It's not hard for a genius like Mr. Wang."
"But for ordinary writers, it's almost their lifelong dream."
This...
Wang Jian also realized that his words just now were a bit too much.
He waved. "Keep working."
Then, he got into the office awkwardly.
"Oh, king." Tom followed in. "I have the impulse to beat you when I hear that sentence."
"You know, we people have written so many works that we don't even have a chance to publish them."
"After that, did you start to work in the publishing industry?"
I didn't mean to!
Wang Jian did not expect that his careless words would cause great psychological harm to the employees, including Tom.
He handed Tom a can of coffee and said, "remember to arrange a pick-up after their promotion."
"After all, their licensing contract was signed with us."
"I understand." Tom picked up his coffee and stood up.
"Yes, Wang." He paused for a moment, turned his head and said, "your skill of changing the subject is very poor."
Looking at Tom's back as he left, Wang Jian rubbed his nose.
Forget it, I have no time to comfort their fragile hearts. I still have work to do.
He first opened the notes of Princess Diana's life and read them again.
A moment later, Wang Jian shook his head.
Americans pay attention to Princess Diana and the British royal family. When it is written, it will be a work with its own topic.
But...
what we want to see is the privacy of the royal family, not the growth history of a little girl!
"I have to wait until I get all the information before I can really start writing Diana's autobiography."
Wang Jian carefully collected the information and put it into the drawer of his desk.
So...
start writing the book "let go of the witch"?
Wang Jian closed his eyes and looked in his mind for a while.
No, it has to be changed.
He sighed and made a decision.
I don't know what the original author's writing environment is, but Wang Jian's situation is more complicated.A large number of writers with publishing experience began to try to write alien crossing novels according to the website model.
These people's writing ability, but much stronger than their own!
Wang gradually opened Stephen King's and Dan Brown's novels and read them slowly.
This kind of immersive description, he asked himself, is impossible.
"Can't you just join the writers' Association and expose your shortcomings?"
Wang Jian's fingers tapped gently on his desk.
A few minutes later, he had a decision.
Since you don't have enough skills, you can use your brain to get together.
If you want to give readers a sense of substitution, in addition to words, you can also change the familiar history.
After thinking about it in his mind, Wang Jian finally decided to extend his black hand to the mythical heroes, King Arthur and the Knights of the round table.
The legendary weapon drawn by King Arthur, sword in stone?
After thinking about it, he decided to introduce cyberpunk's mechanical sword, which is similar to a chainsaw.
Others can't pull it out because they didn't press the switch.
Well...
Wang gradually nodded, "it's more in line with the idea of combining technology and magic in the original work."
As for the original novel, all kinds of modern weapons made by witches?
You can find ready-made models from punk culture.
After all, it's a bit too much imagination for a group of witches to produce standard weapons with modern technology.
Can be similar to the end of punk, that kind of rough shotgun, or can understand.
This can also explain that in addition to the protagonist King Arthur, the other knights of the round table are too outstanding.
They are witches...
as for the legend, can the adultery between the first knight Lannister and the queen be changed from a love affair between men and women to a lily...
Wang gradually substituted himself for the readers, and felt that this writing would alleviate a lot of disgust.
It can also be explained that King Arthur went to war with France and the church for the sake of his rival.
He loves both the queen and Lannister!
"Anyway, the story of King Arthur is magical enough." Wang Jian said casually, "then you might as well be more magical!"
Twelve beautiful Knights of the round table, armed with shotguns, attacking the paladins of the church?
King Arthur with a mechanical sword and a left wheel, fighting against the pope with mysterious power!
He thought about it for a moment and thought that it could be adapted like this.
So, half an hour later, the office keyboard sounded.
"The story that King Arthur and the Knights of the round table have to tell", officially launched!
