(Oh my god, I’m hysterical. When I look up, it’s almost five o’clock.)
…
"Mr. Zheng, is this the new work of Teacher Giant?"
In the general manager's office of Qishu Publishing House, Ling Jie asked Zheng Ge in surprise. The title Giant Master is a title given by the literary world, or martial arts.
Although this 'giant' has only published one book.
But both in terms of fame and influence, he has already caught up with some old writers.
This is truly one book to fame.
"It's the new work of 'Giant'. Let's take a look. Then make arrangements and prepare it for publication." Zheng Ge said casually while holding the coffee.
After receiving Zheng Ge's affirmation, Ling Jie nodded in surprise and couldn't help but sigh: "Master Giant is so productive! There is a new work so soon."
Nowadays, some famous people spend several years thinking about a book.
But for this giant master, how long has it been since "The Condor" was released? He has already released a new work. What is this if not high productivity?
With a sigh, he looked down at the document and said: "The Legend of the Condor Heroes? Could it be the sequel to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?"
As he said this, he couldn't help but wonder, could this giant master be trying to make money by releasing a sequel because of the popularity of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?
I often ask some authors to do this.
After all, the last book became popular, so if you ride on the popularity of the old book and rest on your laurels, you will definitely make money without losing money.
But think about it, it’s impossible!
If this 'giant' teacher really wants to make money, he can go out in front of people, open a book club, and accept advertisements, etc., and he will make a lot of money.
There is no need to rely on old books.
"Almost, but the protagonists are not Guo Jing or Huang Rong." Zheng Ge took a sip of coffee.
Ling Jie nodded and started to read.
When I saw the layout of the first paragraph, I couldn't help but read it out, "The Yue girl picked lotus by the autumn water, with narrow sleeves and light ruffles, revealing her double gold necklace. She picked flowers in the shadow and looked like her face, and her heart was only in turmoil. At the head of the Jichi River
The wind and waves are late, the fog is thick and the smoke is light, and the companions who came are nowhere to be seen. The faint singing returns to the distant place, and the sorrow of separation leads to the south bank of the Yangtze River..."
Reading slowly, Ling Jie smacked his lips and exclaimed: "Good words, it is indeed the work of a master! It is not easy to write such words in a novel."
Hearing this, Zheng Ge shook his head and smiled.
This poem is the poem "Butterfly Loves Flowers" written by Ouyang Xiu, a great poet in the Northern Song Dynasty.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" only quoted this poem.
However, this poem does not exist in this world.
So, just think of it as Jin Yong... No, just think of it as being created by a giant.
Speaking of which, Zheng Ge sighed with emotion more than once.
If there hadn't been the million-dollar loan crisis, and there hadn't been all those chances and coincidences, maybe I would have embarked on the path of copying the government, right?
After all, many excellent literary works and excellent classic songs in the previous life on earth do not exist in this world.
Isn’t it easy to be a copywriter?
Thinking, he shook his head and leaned on the sofa.
He knew in his heart that he did not like to create.
Otherwise, the author of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" would not have been given the pen name of "Giant".
He can be an all-around businessman who knows how to create, can write poems, songs, sing, and even act.
Not only is he a super rich man, he is also a super talented person and a super star.
It’s just that being an all-powerful person is too tiring.
It's good to simply be a rich man.
…
A few minutes later, Ling Jie raised his head and said with an embarrassed smile: "Sorry, Mr. Zheng, I'm a little too involved."
"Yeah! I'll leave the document with you. Read it carefully later. After reading it, start preparing for publication." Zheng Ge waved his hand indifferently and said.
"Okay, I will arrange it right away." Ling Jie nodded.
I just watched a little bit and didn't see much content.
All I know is that it has some of the style of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", including many martial arts moves and character titles in the book, which are obviously from the same origin.
But this is what Zheng Ge said. Regardless of whether the content of the book is good or bad, it must be published.
Zheng Ge hummed, looked at the time, and said, "Okay, let's go, it's getting late, let's go have lunch together."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away." Ling Jie said happily.
It is a good thing to communicate more with the big boss and increase the relationship between them.
Ling Hong on the side was also very surprised.
It's a pity. It would be perfect without the big light bulb of my father.
But think about it, if there was no father, Zheng Ge would not have dinner with her!
…
At noon, Zheng Ge took Huang Liya, Ling Jie, Ling Hong and his daughter to a nearby high-end restaurant.
In front of the restaurant, there are many luxury cars.
It’s almost like a small luxury car show.
Obviously, this restaurant is very attractive to wealthy people.
"When will my own Sichuan cuisine restaurant be able to do this?"
Looking at the bustling restaurant, Zheng Ge couldn't help but think to himself. It's just a Sichuan cuisine restaurant with some civilian routes. It's a bit difficult to take such a high-end route.
"Mr. Zheng, please, the food here is very good."
Ling Jie stretched out his hand and said.
"Yeah!" Zheng Ge hummed lightly and walked in.
…
Walking into the restaurant, he came to the private room that Ling Jie had reserved long ago.
I took the menu, ordered a few dishes, and sat down at the table.
"Mr. Zheng, recently on the Internet, many readers have made requests, hoping to invite Teacher Giant to hold a book club. I was thinking that when the new book is released, could I ask this 'Giant' teacher to stand up and hold a book club?"
A new book signing event? This will not only better promote the work, but also enhance the visibility of our publishing house."
At the dinner table, Ling Jie poured Zheng Ge a cup of tea and tried to speak carefully.
Zheng Ge waved his hand without hesitation, "Don't mention this matter again."
"This... okay."
Ling Jie felt a little regretful, and became increasingly suspicious that the so-called 'giant' was Zheng Ge himself. Otherwise, there was no reason not to let the original author come forward!
Why do today’s writers write books?
In the beginning, I started on this path because of my preference and my love for literature.
But slowly, some authors began to pursue fame and fortune.
After many writers have a best-selling book, they are no longer satisfied with writing behind the scenes and begin to appear frequently and participate in some so-called programs.
But this ‘giant’ teacher is too low-key.
Therefore, Ling Jie suspected that Zheng Ge was the ‘giant’ writer.
As for why Zheng Ge didn't admit this, the reason is very simple.
People all over the country know that Zheng Ge is relatively low-key.
He is one of the most low-key rich people in the country.
Even some media, some TV programs, etc., could not invite Zheng Ge. Naturally, he would not be willing to stand in front of people because of a book.
Zheng Ge glanced at Ling Jie and said, "Don't think about these things. When readers read a book, they don't see the author, but the work. Your task is to select outstanding works and operate them well."
