    "Twelve Monkeys?" Xu Fei looked at the weird title on the manuscript: "What is this subject?" "You will know it just by looking at it?" Li Xuechu said with a smile.  Rather than saying it directly, Xu Fei simply looked through the manuscript.  This guy hasn't submitted a manuscript for more than a year. Many of his subsequent movies were written directly as scripts. Later, publishers came to him and adapted them into novels to earn some pocket money.  Moreover, Xu Fei, who has been working with Li Xuechu for a long time, can also see that the novel was written by a gunman. After all, it is difficult to change a person's writing style and word usage habits. Readers may not be able to tell the difference, but the editor's eyes are much better.  "There is no way. With my wealth, I have long looked down on such a small amount of money. Now I am submitting articles purely out of hobby. I write when I want to write, and there is nothing I can do if I don't want to write.  Mr. Jin saw what this guy was thinking and simply lowered the remuneration back to the original novice level.  "You're not short of money anyway, why do you want such a high royalties?" Apart from a few complaints, Li Xuechu didn't even bother to argue. He was indeed not short of money.  After reading the article at a glance, Xu Fei couldn't help but secretly complain.  Well, I¡¯m tired of comedy and literature, and now I¡¯m turning to science fiction. I don¡¯t know what I¡¯ll write next time, fantasy?  Martial arts?  "It's a good work." Xu Fei could only admire the writing ability of the man in front of him: "I really don't know how your head is structured, Li Sheng. There are always so many fantastic ideas." "It's just random thoughts,  Sometimes I just make up a story after thinking about it." Li Xuechu, who has been plagiarizing for a long time, has developed a certain thickness of his skin.  "If I were the president of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, I would definitely hire you as a visiting professor to teach Chinese students about creative experience. With your ability, it would be a pity to be a businessman." "Hahaha, it's a pity that you are not. Otherwise, I would really  I'm somewhat interested." Li Xuechu said with a smile.  "You are really interested, this is not difficult." Xu Fei said: "Jin Sheng knows the president of Zhongda University. As long as you tell him, he will naturally pass the message to you. I think he will not refuse, after all, your  Fame and status are something he can only dream of. "How about I help you?" "Ahem, no, no, no, how can I be a teacher?" Li Xuechu declined awkwardly.  "It won't take much time. I'm a guest. You can take two classes as long as you want. The time is up to you." Xu Fei took it seriously.  "We'll talk about this later. Let's talk about the manuscript today." Li Xuechu looked a little embarrassed.  It's okay for an expert outside the world to pretend to be cool, but if he really wants to open a class and be a tutor, he doesn't have the confidence of Ma Yun, so he can still hide and hide whenever he can.  After all, masters are all low-key.  "That's such a pity." Xu Fei sighed, but didn't dwell on the matter anymore.  Li Xuechu asked Ming Pao to serialize this time again, actually to test the acceptance of soft science fiction themes in Hong Kong.  After all, when people nowadays think of science fiction, they think more of spaceships, aliens and the like.  If it is promoted as science fiction, after it is released, the audience will find that there is not a single scene they are looking forward to.  If you feel you have been deceived, it will do a lot of damage to the company's reputation.  It would be a good idea to test it out in advance in the form of a novel.  A strange thing is that spoilers for a movie may affect the box office, but movies based on novels are less affected by spoilers.  Audiences who have read the novel are still enthusiastic about the movie.  Of course, those who haven¡¯t seen it will not be affected.  "I don't think there's much to say about the manuscript. The subject matter is quite novel and the story is good. From my personal point of view, it's a very good work. The details will depend on readers' reactions." Xu Fei said with a smile: "  I think I should be optimistic. After all, Ni Kuang¡¯s science fiction series is still quite popular, and I think yours is of better quality.¡±  "Haha. What do you have to worry about? I don't make a living by writing novels anyway." "I plan to adapt it into a movie in the future. If the novel is not popular, the fate of the movie may not be good. Do you think I should do it?  Worried?" "There's no need to worry, you don't make a living by making movies anymore." "Uh." Li Xuechu was speechless.  This is true, whether it is finance or industry, the money comes in much more than movies.  Even within the movie company, animation-driven toy sales generate more money than live-action movies.  From an economic point of view, although movies make a lot of money, they are still useless.  "It's my personal hobby. Some people like to bet on horses and play mahjong, and some people like to play golf. I just like to write scripts and make movies. It's always fun." Xu Fei smiled: "This is a good hobby. Speaking of which, I am also your loyalist.  "A movie fan." "I'm not a director or a movie star. What kind of movie fan are you?" "Just a screenwriter?"?Can there be any movie fans?  Whether a movie is good or not starts with the screenwriter. No matter how good the script is, no matter how good the director or the actors are, they can't save it.  Your scripts are famous in Xiangjiang, but except for a few big guys, no one would have the nerve to ask you for a script.  " "Haha, I wish I could think like you do.  " It will be difficult for screenwriters to get ahead in the future, let alone now. I am an anomaly. "I haven't seen your new work for more than a year. I didn't expect that I would be called over by a big boss like you today.  Li Sheng, are you interested in writing more books?  I miss the old days.  Since you stopped writing, the sales volume of our newspaper has slowly dropped again. It makes me sad to think about it.  ¡± This is half-joking. Li Xuechu¡¯s success has also led some people to embark on the literary path. Over time, many newcomers have come forward, and some works have been adapted into scripts by film companies, but plagiarism has become common.  There has been a surge of fresh water in the film industry. There have been more submissions, but the newspaper¡¯s sales have not declined significantly. ¡°Let¡¯s see what¡¯s going on. I¡¯ll write more if someone sees it.  " Xu Fei shook his head dissatisfied: "You have been a businessman for a long time, and you are now utilitarian.  Didn¡¯t you say you took this as a hobby?  Even if it is not popular, it does not mean that the work is not good.  "    "Well?  Haha, it¡¯s true.  Li Xuechu smiled slightly awkwardly: "Habits have become natural."  But I actually had this idea at the beginning. If no one reads the work, it will be really a torture for the writer.  " "Thinking too much about this will easily block the road, and it will be difficult to go further.  " Li Xuechu shrugged: "I don't intend to be a literary giant. It's enough that ordinary readers like it.  ¡± Actually, I miss the time when I used to write books and earn royalties. Thinking about my experience, it feels like playing an online game. Now that I have a high level, I am wearing a magical outfit, and I am very satisfied. But think back to when I was a rookie and I was carrying a wooden stick.  When Jian Shanyi went out, he actually had a sense of fun, or his enthusiasm at the time was even higher than it is now. Even though the royalties that made him so happy at the time were too lazy to bend down to pick them up if they dropped on the floor. ¡°But you¡¯re right.  , Anyway, there are few things to do during this period, so I will think of a few more stories later, lest readers forget about me.  Xu Fei was satisfied: "This is a good idea. When do you plan to submit the manuscript?"  " "I'll send it to you when I finish writing it. I don't even have a clue yet.  "Although I miss the past time, I don't want to experience the pain of being pushed for manuscripts again. Xu Fei has nothing to do with him, and it is an unexpected surprise to receive his manuscripts again. As for the manuscript fees that are usually used to pressure authors  People don¡¯t care anymore. (To be continued) ps: Thank you huanhui for your monthly vote. It¡¯s been a long time since I received the monthly vote. It¡¯s a pity that I didn¡¯t live up to the Spring Festival.  It feels like there are no less things than when I go to work, even though it¡¯s all about drinking and playing cards
