During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 26 New Works and Failures

Late at night, in a community in the capital, Wei Jin was sitting in front of the computer, tapping his fingers quickly on the keyboard. From time to time, he picked up the cigarette at hand and took a deep breath. The whole study was filled with smoke, and coding was really boring. Even if you are asked to do it.

Zeng Li, who had just finished taking a bath, walked in wrapped in a bathrobe. She smelled the smell of smoke in the room, frowned, walked to the window, and opened it.
  "Why do you smoke so much?"

"You know, creation requires inspiration."

Wei Jin opened his mouth and said nonsense that he called it creation, but he was just a transporter of words. Of course, it was not a lie. Even if it was a copy of the text, some modifications would still be made.

"What are you writing?"

Zeng Li walked over while wiping her hair
  "A youth novel."

Wei Jin replied without looking back:

"Why did you start writing youth novels instead of martial arts?"

Zeng Li was a little curious. The first martial arts book sold well, so it stands to reason that he should continue to work on this road.

"I didn't say I wouldn't write it. I just took some time to write this youth novel. I'm going to adapt it into a movie."

Then Wei Jin revealed the set of ratings codes he told Miss Cai:
  "So you want to wait for the novel to become famous first, and then make a movie?"

Zeng Li also knew that Wei Jin had been preparing for his first commercial film, but he didn't expect it to be a youth film.

"Not only that, I will write another song of the same name in two days. I plan to convert all book fans and fans into movie fans, maximize the development of potential moviegoers, strive for the first commercial movie, and become famous in one battle."

Wei Jin said with some satisfaction:

"Actually, you don't have to be so anxious. You're still young."

Zeng Li felt a little sorry for her boyfriend.

Hearing this, Wei Jin stopped what he was doing, stood up, hugged the beauty and said:

"It's not that I'm anxious, I'm afraid that I'll become famous too late and won't be able to protect you."

"You don't have to pay so much for me. I've never been with you because of this."

Zeng Li was a little moved and wanted to say something, but Wei Jin put his finger on his fragrant lips.

"Between you and me, there is no need to say this. I will help you realize your dream step by step."

Zeng Li stopped talking and just put his lips together. Wei Jin also responded enthusiastically. After a while, the bathrobe slipped off and the spring light was bright in the room.

It's May, and Wei Jin's new book "The Girls We Chased Together in Those Years" has been officially released.

When he received the news that Wei Jin had published a new book, Shen Haobo was still very satisfied. He did not stop writing just because he won the Berlin Silver Bear. He is a qualified author.

But when he got the manuscript, Shen Haobo was a little confused. Where was the "martial arts master in the post-Jin Yong era" that he had promised?

I've taken off my pants, and you're just going to show me this?

However, after reading the manuscript, Shen Haobo had to admit that Wei and Jin still had two skills. Youth literature wrote a sense of nostalgia for the times and a sense of freshness, which was very resonant with readers. It was not as good as the youth novels on the market. In general, all kinds of pain and affectation.

Since the whole book has only a few hundred thousand words, "Those Years" will be sold as a single copy at a price of RMB 20 per copy.

This time Shen Haobo directly gave him a 12% copyright share, which was very refreshing.

In fact, the two have been getting along quite happily since they cooperated. The main reason is that Wei Jin has not thought about making a fortune from copyright fees. In the subsequent volumes of "Snow Swordsman", Wei Jin has not thought about increasing his share.

Regardless of the subsequent release of the novel, Wei Jin wrote a song of the same name and is still considering who will sing it.

Huang Bai definitely can't do it. His voice is a bit thick and he can't sing with that feeling.

After thinking about it, Wei Jin thought of a person, a legendary joker-Li Jian, and asked Huang Bai to help him. As a popular singer, Huang Bai also has his own connections in the music circle. After many twists and turns, he finally got in touch, but Li Jian never responded.

Unexpectedly, three days later, Huang Bai brought some bad news. Li Jian felt that the songs written by Wei and Jin before were all nonsense. He felt that he was not from the same group and was unwilling to cooperate.

Wei Jin almost spit out his old blood, Shui Ge, Shui Ge, what's wrong with Shui Ge, making money, not shabby, then sent an invitation to meet through Huang Bai, and finally it was not rejected.

Today is the day for the two parties to meet. Huang Bai and Wei Jin came to the recording studio early, and Li Jian was recording songs.

The two of them just found a place to sit and rest. Not long after, Li Jian came out of the shed to say hello.

After the two parties briefly exchanged greetings, Li Jian asked:

"Mr. Wei, I'm curious, why did you want to ask me to record a new song?"

"It's simple. I've listened to your song, and your tone and technique are exactly what I imagined for the song."

Wei and Jin directly stated their intention to come and expressed their recognition of Li Jian.

"Um, can I take a look first?"

Seeing that Wei Jin respected him so much, Li Jian no longer resisted and said he would take a look first before talking.

Wei Jin handed Li Jian the lyrics and music score that he had prepared.

After Li Jian took it, he flipped through it quietly, humming a few lines from time to time, and then discovered that this song was very different from the previous works of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

"The song is very well written, especially the lyrics. I take back what I said before. You don't just write slobbery songs."

Li Jian seems to have the temperament of a scholar. At this time, he had just started his solo career and was not famous yet, but because he wrote lyrics and composed music by himself, it was really difficult for ordinary people to appreciate him.

"What about our cooperation?"

"No problem. Also, what is the creative background of your song? I want to know more about the behind-the-scenes story."

Li Jian asked, because he is a songwriter and rarely sings other people's songs. He didn't know if he could accurately express the emotions Wei Jin wanted, so he asked this question.

"It's like this. I have written a new novel with the same name as the song. You can read it first."

Wei Jin said, handing the hardcover version of the novel to Li Jian.

"Okay, I'll read the novel first, and we'll officially record it in a week."

Li Jian was also a resolute person, so he immediately set the time.

The two then reached an agreement on some details. The copyright belongs to Wei Jin, and Li Jian enjoys the singing rights.

After reaching a cooperation, Wei Jin tried to extend an olive branch again, but unfortunately was declined by Li Jian. He still hoped to create independently, but then said that if there were good works, he would be willing to sing.

Seeing that the main goal was achieved, Wei Jin did not hesitate too much. The two parties exchanged phone calls and left.

On the way out, Huang Bai hesitated to speak. Of course Wei Jin knew what he wanted to say:
  "This song is not suitable for you to sing, don't think too much about it"

In late May, bad news came. According to media reports, the National Sports Lottery Center would give up the opportunity to bet on the 5 European Cup.

Hearing this news, it was like a bolt from the blue. The middle road collapsed before Wei and Jin started their business, and they were all confused for a moment. Fortunately, Wei and Jin had a habit of not thinking about victory, but thinking about failure first, and the prepared backhand can still be used. .
