Reading through the comments, Hu Shuo felt more and more disheartened.
However, just when he was about to close the web page, he saw a rare positive comment.
"The story is very interesting and interesting. Come on, author~!!"
Hehe, as expected, there are still people who know what to buy!
After reading too many negative comments, Hu Shuo suddenly saw a positive comment. He was very excited. He glanced at the nickname of this message, and then the smile on his face changed to a bitter smile.
Mother Zozo!
This is my "old reader", and a very, very loyal old reader!
Alas, you have to kiss your wife and still encourage her when the whole world is complaining about you.
Hu Shuo sighed silently, feeling a little sweet in his heart, and the negative emotions caused by the negative comments were wiped away.
Opening the document, Hu Shuo wrote the ending of the novel version of "Westward Journey" in one breath.
And when he finished writing the ending, Hu Shuo suddenly felt as if his whole being had been hollowed out. The writing process was also a process of reliving the story. Although Hu Shuo had read this story countless times, when those scenes came again
When it comes to his mind, he can't help but be moved and sigh, and his turbulent mood cannot calm down for a long time.
There is no doubt that "Journey to the West" must be a good story, but its presentation method is a bit "exaggerated", which makes it difficult for some people to accept it.
With unresolved emotions, Hu Shuo uploaded the entire text of "Westward Journey" in one go. Moreover, there was no charging limit and it was open to every reader for free!
The reason why Hu Shuo did this was to let more people see this work and get more feedback. He was eager to know whether the story of "Journey to the West" is really unacceptable in this time and space?
"Mr. Hu, are you crazy???"
Not long after Hu Shuo uploaded the full text of "Westward Journey" to Chinese Story Network, Qiu Xiaobai's call came directly to Hu Shuo's mobile phone.
"How do you say this?" Hu Shuo asked.
"110,000 words of novels, all free! Mr. Hu, you are too generous. Do you know how much these words can be sold for based on your influence?" Qiu Xiaobai was a little excited, as if he was influenced by
The loss is hers.
"I have made enough money before, so this book can be considered as giving back to the readers!" Hu Shuo replied casually, without saying his true intention.
"..."
Qiu Xiaobai was silent for a moment, and then replied with one word: "Cow!!"
In fact, it’s not surprising that Qiu Xiaobai had such a reaction. In this time and space, people are very aware of copyright. Let alone a novel with hundreds of thousands of words, even a few jingles would be eager to register the copyright in their name.
Asking others to pay to use it!
In this context, writers' works are of course fully charged, but writers like Hu Shuo who give their novels to readers for free are really rare!
Especially an author with a high profile like Hu Zuozuo would not let his works be free!
"Mr. Hu, are you still preparing to publish this book?" Qiu Xiaobai asked again before the phone was hung up.
"Publishing is fine." Hu Shuo thought for a while and replied. The story of "Journey to the West" still needs to be carefully studied. It would be better if it was printed and turned into a book.
"Well, let's leave the publishing to us at Huawen." Qiu Xiaobai said.
"Well, that's no problem."
"Zo Zuo's Story" and "Zo Zuo's Collected Poems" were all written in Chinese by Qiu Xiaobai, and the cooperation between the two parties was quite pleasant, so Hu Shuo agreed directly. He didn't expect to make much money from publishing anyway.
, naturally I don’t want to spend too much energy on this matter.
After ending the call with Qiu Xiaobai, Hu Shuo stopped paying attention to the follow-up comments on "Westward Journey" and drove to pick up Sao Zuo from school.
Anyway, the book has been written and uploaded. Hu Shuo thinks that he has done his best. No matter what the result is, he has no regrets.
Any of Hu Shuo's previous works were actually "plagiarism", but this time the novel version of "Journey to the West" is really a large part of Hu Shuo's original work.
After all, Hu Shuo only had the story of "Journey to the West" in his mind. He had to describe this story in words and express all the plots that were not fully shown in the movie. It was also a big challenge for him.
Therefore, actually finishing the novel version of "Journey to the West" is already a great sense of accomplishment for Hu Shuo!
Beixing International Kindergarten.
After school, Zuo Zuo ran out with a face full of joy. However, the little girl was a little unhappy when she saw that her father was the only one who came to pick her up after school today.
"Dad, mom didn't come today!"
Zuo Zuo pouted and asked.
"Well, mom hasn't gotten off work yet." Hu Shuo responded with a smile.
"Didn't Mom say you won't work overtime?" There was a trace of displeasure on Zuo Zuo's face.
Hu Shuo picked up the little girl and walked to the parking space while explaining: "Mom said that she will work less and less overtime in the future. It will still take some time to stop working overtime at all."
"Well, how about we pick mom up from get off work?"
Hu Shuo suggested with a smile.
"Okay, okay~!"
Upon hearing this, Zuo Zuo nodded happily.
"Well, then let's go pick mom up from get off work!"
Hu Shuo smiled, carried the little girl into the car, and then got into the cab.
Zuo Zuo got out of school at 4:30 today, so it was still early. When the two of them arrived at the entrance of Wanli Building, it was just early 5 o'clock.
While Hu Shuo was on the road, he sent Yang Yunyan a WeChat message. Zhang Li replied, saying that Yang Yunyan was in a meeting.
"Zaozuo, daddy, please take you to mommy's company to wait."
Once you have a meeting, you don't know how long it will take, and sitting in the car is boring, so Hu Shuo suggested.
"Okay, I haven't been to mom's company yet!"
Zuo Zuo was very interested.
"Um."
Hu Shuo parked the car in the parking space in front of the building, and then walked into the building with Zuo Zuo in his arms.
"Hello, Mr. Hu."
"Hello, Mr. Hu..."
Hu Shuo had been in and out of Wanli Building frequently in the past two days. Both the security guard at the door and the female receptionist already knew him. Therefore, when they saw Hu Shuo walking in, they immediately said hello.
And Zuo Zuo, who was held in Hu Shuo's arms, naturally became the object of special attention.
"This is the daughter of Mr. Yang and Mr. Hu!"
"The little girl is so beautiful, just like a porcelain doll!"
"You see, this is the function of genes, so when looking for a boyfriend, you must find a handsome one!"
"Little girls are beautiful because their parents are very good-looking. What's the use of just looking for a handsome boyfriend!"
"You? Are you calling me ugly???"
"..."
After Hu Shuo walked into the elevator with Zuo Zuo in his arms, the two female receptionists on duty at the front desk of the building started gossiping. However, they even "overturned" while chatting.
"Dad, why do they call you Mr. Hu? Isn't your name Hu Shuo?"
In the elevator, Zuo Zuo asked curiously.
"Mr. Hu is a title and an honorific. Well, it's like your teacher's name is Wang Xiaorou, but we all call her Teacher Xiaorou." Hu Shuo explained patiently.
"That's it~!" Zuo Zuo nodded, as if he understood.
After getting out of the elevator, Hu Shuo carried Zuo Zuo and walked to Yang Yunyan's office.
"Yeah~!"
"It's Zuo Zuo!"
To enter Yang Yunyan's office, one must first pass by Zhang Li's small office. When Hu Shuo appeared with Zuo Zuo in his arms, Zhang Li hurriedly greeted him. As Yang Yunyan's personal secretary, she had naturally seen Zuo Zuo.
"You are, Aunt Lily."
Zuo Zuo has a very good memory. Yang Yunyan had told her how to call Zhang Li before. This time we meet again, Zuo Zuo still remembers it.
"Ah, Zuozuo still remembers me!" Zhang Li looked happy.
"Hehe, because Aunt Lily is so beautiful." Zuo Zuo smiled, the little girl's mouth was very sweet.
However, the fact is that the last time Zuo Zuo met Zhang Li, she praised her beauty, and then Zhang Li gave Zuo Zuo a toffee.
Therefore, when they met this time, Zuo Zuo repeated her old trick. After praising her, the little girl looked at Zhang Li expectantly, waiting for the second toffee.
