Chapter 113 Preparation for Return to School
The original novel of "Bright Sword" is 450,000 words, but the TV series only shoots the first 24 chapters, with a total of only 256,000 words. Zhang Duo wrote less than 200,000 words left early in the morning and waited for his book distribution company to be established before publishing.
The content of "Book and Sword Enmity" is about 600,000 words, but before he began to write, "The Return of the Condor Heroes" has caused a disturbance. Recently, Zhang Duo has been plagued with everything and is physically and mentally exhausted. He has only written more than 30,000 words. It will take some time to wait for it to be finished.
But now the serialization of The Return of the Condor Heroes has reached 300,000 words, and Jiang Xiancheng has been applying for the book number and preparing to issue the first volume of monograph. If you have to wait for the Book and Sword, it will take a month. The opening time of the company will be delayed, and it will also affect the sales of single copies. And now that school is about to start, Zhang Duo promised Su Wengong to go back to school. Thinking of this, he had a headache.
"Uncle Jiang, I didn't expect you to prepare so quickly, and the serialization of The Return of the Condor Heroes will have so many twists and turns. Now it's too late to wait for the Record of Sword. I will give you the manuscript of Liang Jian later. You can apply for the book number first. When we open, why don't we launch these two books first?
Jiang Xiancheng listened and felt a little proud and regretful. Proudly, since the preparation of the book distribution company, everything has gone smoothly, which not only greatly surprised Zhang Duo, but also a little surprised himself. It's a pity that Zhang Duo couldn't submit the manuscript in time. One of the three books originally planned to be launched, but the impact is much worse.
Jiang Xiancheng said in his heart, Xiao Zhang Duo, Xiao Zhang Duo, you know that the Huaxia People's Publishing House is "the first swordsman in the world" and is so careless to fight with its branch, then you can't win if you have the courage to "show your sword"!
Jiang Xiancheng slandered in his heart, but he didn't say it. After all, today is different from the past. He eats under Zhang Duo. Of course, he can no longer talk casually as usual, and this kind of accusation can't be easily said.
Jiang Xiancheng said with a smile, "So far, this is the only way. There are only two books. I will try my best to do it."
Zhang Duo said with a smile, "That's hard work, Uncle Jiang. I plan to divide Uncle Jiang's 10% of the shares. Please don't refuse. This is the contract drawn up by the lawyer. Uncle Jiang only needs to sign it.
When Jiang Xiancheng heard this, he was shocked and stammered, "This...isn't it good? Isn't it too much?" As the saying goes, people die for money, and birds die for food. Throughout the ages, several people can really regard money as dung. Jiang Xiancheng is a little tall, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't like money. He is just not willing to take the part that doesn't belong to him. But less than 10% of the dry stocks in his imagination deserve it.
Zhang Duo invested a total of 5 million in the book distribution company, and then transferred 80 people from Songjiang Morning Post to Jiang Xiancheng, and then left it alone. Jiang Xiancheng personally ran all the preparations for the company. Although the annual salary of 200,000 yuan looks very high, Jiang Xiancheng thinks that no matter how high the annual salary is, he is just a professional manager. Only when you own shares and become a partner can you be one of the owners of the company.
He also thought that Zhang Duo would definitely give him some shares, as long as there were more than 5% and no more than 10%, but he did not expect that Zhang Duo would directly give him the upper limit in his heart.
Looking at Jiang Xiancheng's embarrassed appearance, who was calm and quite a general just now, Zhang Duo felt funny, but his face remained calm. Just said slowly, "Take it, Uncle Jiang, I don't have much time to manage the issuing company. At most, I read the financial statements every year, and you have to take care of everything. These are all deserved, and Tang Tianhao also took the dry shares of Songjiang Morning Post!"
Jiang Xiancheng originally wanted to make concessions, but when he heard the last sentence, he no longer hesitated. He took the contract and took a general look and signed the big name.
After Zhang Duo put the contract into his desk and said with a smile, "Uncle Jiang, the issuing company is up to you!"
Jiang Xiancheng said calmly, "Mr. Zhang, don't worry, I, Jiang Xiancheng, will definitely run our Wansheng Book Distribution Company, otherwise there will be no face to take the annual salary and dry shares you gave me. If nothing happens, I'll go first."
Zhang Duo nodded and said, "Uncle Jiang, take your time!"
Jiang Xiancheng left Zhang Duo's office and returned to the Wansheng Book Distribution Company opposite. At the beginning, for the convenience of management, Zhang Duo instructed Jiang Xiancheng to rent the office of Wansheng Books to the opposite of Songjiang Morning News. However, Zhang Duo already has an office in the newspaper, and there is no separate office in Wansheng Book. Jiang Xiancheng also ran this way for anything.
Zhang Duo explained the matter of the newspaper to Tang Tianhao and drove to Wanbang Film and Television. Among the states, Song Siwei wants to sit in the company and can't leave lightly. Jin Yutang and Chen Feiyang are producers and directors in the crew of Bright Sword. Nowadays, Gu Zongling is the only one who can be in charge of the crew of The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
After the production of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Wanbang Film and Television did not delay him and terminated the contract early because it could not be sent for trial. In fact, when it comes to selling films, Song Siwei and Jin Yutang are not willing to interfere too much.
Gu Zongling is almost 60 years old, but he is old and strong. In terms of film and television, he still has some ideas. Now that the contract is terminated in advance, I didn't pick up other crews, but rested at home. I also want to see what kind of results Tianlong Babu will achieve.
I didn't want to wait for more than two months to see the feat of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils dominate the screen, which was really exciting and ecstatic. In the process of filming, he was very optimistic about Wanbang Film and Television and Zhang Duo. When he knew that they had become famous, he might not be able to think of himself, so he went to Wanbang to recommend himself.
Song Siwei initially asked Gu Zongling and Du Wenhui to replace Zhang Duo, but he didn't think that Zhang Duo has now become not only a big director, but also a shareholder of Wanbang Company. Du Wenhui went to a small film and television company as a director. Gu Zongling actually recommended himself to Wanbang to apply for a job. It's really capricious!
But to be fair, Gu Zongling's level is still one of the best in China. Moreover, Wanbang must also recruit troops. Song Siwei greeted Jin Yutang and Zhang Duo and recruited Gu Zongling, mainly responsible for ancient costume dramas. Previously, he had been responsible for preparing the Legend of the Condor Heroes.
Zhang Duo went to Wanbang Film and Television and talked with Song Siwei and Gu Zongling about the shooting of Heroes, which was mainly divided into three parts according to the 83 version, Iron-blooded Heart, East Evil West Poison and Huashan on Sword.
However, although the 83 version of "The Condor Shooting" in the previous life is classic, there is also a problem, that is, the first part "Iron-blooded Heart" is too focused on sensational, without the fast-paced style unique to martial arts TV series, and the content is a little "dragging". In particular, the emotional scene between "Yang Tiexin" played by "Fourth Brother" and "Bao Xiwei" played by Li Siqi takes up too much space and makes people unable to lift their spirits.
What Zhang Duo and Gu Zongling said was this. He had to go back to school for a period of time. During this period, Gu Zongling led the crew to shoot. Although it was touching in the original novel, the TV series had to be stopped. It was too sensational and really affected the overall martial arts style.
Of course, because Zhang Duo plays Yang Kang's absence, it is estimated that Gu Zongling may not be able to film the scene of Yang Tiexin and Bao Xiwei meeting first, but Zhang Duo has to be vaccinated in advance.
After explaining Wanbang's affairs, Zhang Duo returned home to say goodbye to his parents. Because he has been busy recently, Zhang Duo has been living in the house next to the Songjiang Morning News and rarely goes home. This time, I came back and made Zhang's mother Wang Shuying happy, but she still beat Zhang Duo a few times and said, "This child is not home day long. Don't you want to be home?"
Zhang Duo's review books since he was a child are Three Kingdoms, Sui Tang and Ming Ying Lies. The foreign classics he read are Robinson Crusoe. He has always felt that men are ambitious in all directions. To be honest, he really doesn't miss home.
But in front of my mother, I didn't dare to tell the truth, but said with a smile, "Yes, of course I want to!"
Wang Shuying said, "Your child, like your father, is so big every day that he always wants to get ahead. Fortunately, now I am young and successful in my career... Don't work too hard. Mom is reluctant to look at you so hard!"
In the middle of Wang Shuying's words, she choked and couldn't speak. She wiped a few tears before she finished her words. But Zhang Duo's eyes turned red and he almost cried, and he felt quite uncomfortable. Thinking about my rebirth, I have only been copying books to make money, but I don't even talk to my parents and chat much. It's really inappropriate.
Zhang Duo took Wang Shuying and sat down on the sofa and said, "Mom, I will pay more attention in the future. By the way, I won't go today. I'll go back to Xingshan tomorrow.
Wang Shuying heard this and said, although she was very happy, "Is it okay today?" Isn't your school going to open? Don't delay the report?"
Zhang Duo smiled and said, "It's okay, Mom, I can't delay! Besides, I have to donate money to the school this time. They can't help me to come!" But he said in his heart, Qin Lan, Qin Lan! I want to stay at home for one more day with my parents. I can't visit you in advance. I don't think it's my fault!
Wang Shuying said, "That's right, but is this money donated more? When you said that count, you hurt your father so much that he couldn't sleep for several nights! If it weren't for all the money you earned, he would have beaten you!"
Zhang Duo smiled and said, "Mom, I am also a well-known figure in China now, and I have made so much money. If I don't even donate to my alma mater, I will be stabbed!"
Wang Shuying sighed and said, "That's right, but your father is still a little confused. He has been diligent and thrifty for half his life and is used to being thrifty. It's really sad to see you spend so much money!"
Zhang Duo said in his heart that he was diligent and thrifty for half his life, but now he seems to be insulated from the word thrift! His business is not as small as Zhang Duo's!
