Chapter 41 Work Arrangement(1/2)
It was almost noon when Shen Xudong returned to school...
Liao Gaoxiang was the only one in the dormitory. He was sitting at his desk, looking at things seriously...
"Second brother, where are the eldest brother and the third brother?"
"Back!" Liao Gaoxiang turned around and said: "I went to find the information for the fifth issue..."
Suddenly realized something: "Hey, why did you come back now?"
Shen Xudong scratched his head: "I had something to do last night..."
"Knowing that you had something to do last night and it was fine, you wouldn't not go back to the dormitory! You had something to do last night, why did you come back now?"
Shen Xudong was a little embarrassed to admit: "After waking up and before leaving, I wasted a little time..."
"What's the meaning?"
"...It's okay...Hey, do Zhou Shen and the others know what they are going to do?"
"I know... you have already written the copy, found materials, and edited it... did you really check into a room with Cao Xiwen last night?"
"Um."
"Then you are confirmed to be in a relationship?"
Shen Xudong shook his head: "No... It's just a simple matter of going to bed!"
"We've already gone to bed, and we're still innocent...no..."
Shen Xudong thought for a while and explained in more popular terms: "Second brother, you can understand that she is in a bad mood and needs to decompress, and I happen to be a decompressor... We both get what we need..."
"Then what's your relationship now?"
"It doesn't matter. How was it before? Let's continue in the future... Second brother, don't worry about this kind of thing. I haven't suffered any loss anyway..."
That is, he didn’t spend a dime on food and accommodation, including the aftermath…
It's just a little bit of effort and energy, it's not like catching up on everything at once.
Anyway, Shen Xudong doesn't care, just focus on improving his skill proficiency!
Turning on the computer, he began to write "The Best in the World" according to the outline and plot points...
…
"Number One in the World" is almost over.
The editorial department of "Legends of Modern and Ancient Times" has decided to start serializing "Number One in the World" next month, and the manuscript fee is 300 words per thousand...
The manuscript fee is calculated based on the number of words in the page and is paid within one month after publication.
One issue is about 30,000 words.
"Martial Arts Edition" is a bimonthly publication... almost 60,000 words a month!
In other words, in half a year, "The Best in the World" has almost been serialized...
In fact, most of the manuscript fees for "Martial Arts Edition" are between 100 and 200 per thousand words. As the top martial arts magazine in the country, being selected for "Martial Arts Edition" is a huge publicity opportunity in itself...
The problem is, Shen Xudong is no ordinary person, he is one of the screenwriters of "Dragon Movie"!
Moreover, he has a column in "BJ Youth"...
Already quite famous in itself!
Therefore, "Martial Arts Edition" was given the treatment of 300 words per thousand words...
Bringing it back, in fact, according to Shen Xudong’s memory, the decline of martial arts novels is a general trend...
Feng Ge, Xiao Li, Bu Feiyan, Cang Yue, a bunch of talented people can't stop them!
Many people summarize the decline of martial arts, but one sentence will suffice: abandoned by the times.
To be precise, at the story level, something new appeared that could better meet the needs of the audience, so it was eliminated and updated.
Jin Yong's sentence "A great chivalrous person serves the country and the people", which puts a ceiling on the definition of chivalrous people.
People who have accepted this concept will easily attack the ideas of the later generations' works when they look at the martial arts written by the younger generations.
In the university literature appreciation course, the professor was telling students the origin of martial arts, the Three Heroes and the Five Righteousnesses, and the theory of which warrior came first, or martial arts.
As a result, if you write about martial arts without some historical background, the feelings of family and country will not seem to be martial arts.
Therefore, after finishing "The Best in the World", stop writing martial arts novels!
So...what to write?
Xianxia, cultivate yourself!
Thinking of this, "Zhang Xiaofan, Baguio, Qingyun, Ghost King Sect..." suddenly sounded in Shen Xudong's mind.
…
It was almost one o'clock, and Liao Gaoxiang patted Shen Xudong on the shoulder: "...Stop writing, here, this is lunch!"
"…Thank you, second brother!"
Shen Xudong took the lunch box and was a little surprised: "The food in the cafeteria is so generous?"
"The canteen is closed, I bought it from outside!"
"Close the door? Why?"
"Students are on vacation, so of course it's closed!"
"...That's right, we are the last batch to take the exam."
Shen Xudong took two mouthfuls of rice, and then thought of something: "Second brother, it's holiday, is there any problem for us to stay in school?"
"No problem. Although the school doesn't encourage it, it doesn't object to it either."
"That's good, I'm still thinking about renting an office building off campus!"
"...I remembered what you said. Shouldn't we set up a company? Talk about cooperation with Phoenix TV in the name of the company?"
Shen Xudong nodded: "Indeed, otherwise we would all pay a tax, which would be too much..."
"Then what is the name of our company?"
"Don't call it a company, call it a studio..."
Liao Gaoxiang thought for a while and nodded: "Indeed, calling it a company is a bit eye-catching. We are all college students... What is it called a studio?"
Shen Xudong thought for a while and said: "We are all screenwriters, how about calling it the Screenwriters Studio?"
"Screenwriter's Studio? Can't you register?"
"Xu Ke's film studio is called a film studio. Why can't we call it a screenwriter's studio?"
"Xu Ke is in Hong Kong, and we are in BJ. The rules are different... If you think of one more thing, we don't have to call it a studio. We can call it xx Media!"
xx media?
Madou, Tianmei, peach, apricot bar, jelly...
"Let's call it Tianmei Studio!"
"Tianmei...this name can be...yo, boss, the third child is back!"
Shen Xudong looked at the door. Sure enough, it was Zhao Linhai and Zhao Xin...
…
Not surprisingly, Shen Xudong was interrogated...
The reaction was different from Liao Gaoxiang's. After they heard about Shen Xudong's "heroic deeds" last night, they gave a thumbs up, and they were even more amazed at his relationship with Cao Xiwen...
This is normal!
In male friendships, when the other party plays with women, most of the time it becomes a matter of bragging or even envy to each other...
Of course, there are also serious people who will give you earnest advice.
But this matter is not Shen Xudong's fault, he was passive throughout the whole process!
You see, among the three of them, Liao Gaoxiang is the least understandable. The other two think they are normal and worthy of being from a family of artists...
Ahem...
"Tianmei Studio... that's fine too, Fourth Brother, go and register tomorrow..."
"Do I have to go?"
"Nonsense, if you don't go to your studio, who will?"
"That's the case... Where are Zhou Shen and the others?"
"I'm editing the information... I'll see him later, and you can continue writing the copy..."
"The copywriting for the fifth issue has been finished..."
"Then it will be the sixth, seventh, and eighth period...we are on winter vacation, and you just slapped your ass and left, what will you do with your work? You have to keep working!"
Only then did Shen Xudong react...
To be continued...
