Chapter 231
"Sister Nuannuan, if you believe in my professional ability, I think it's better for you to follow Brother Feng's wishes. He did this to maximize your interests and set up his own studio. You can get it The copyright fee can earn more than signing a contract with Tang Corporation. Although you are the proprietress of Tang Corporation, you are not short of this money, but compared with being an employee for someone else, you can always have more initiative. ?"

"I understand the truth, but I'm worried." Su Nuannuan glanced at Tang Yifeng, "It's fine if I don't win the Hugo Award, but if I do, I will check it later and find that it is you who advocated the termination of the contract with me. Will shareholders on the board question your motives?"

"No, the termination time is before the announcement of the Hugo Awards. Even if they suspect my motives, there is no evidence. Moreover, the full copyright of "Dimension Reduction" is still in Tang's hands. As long as the copyright of "Dimension Reduction" is not lost, they will I won't say anything, after all, "Dimensionality Reduction" won the award. At present, it is this work that has real market value. At present, you are still a new writer, and the only finished work is this book. There is no guarantee that your future works will continue to sell like this, so although it is a pity to lose your contract, it is not enough to make them against me."

"Then you have so much confidence in me that my future works can achieve the same height as "Dimensionality Reduction"?"

"Of course, don't forget that I am the person closest to you. In order to write a sentence or a plot well, I have witnessed how much effort you have to put in and how much information you have checked. Such a hard-working person, Even if you don't have talent, you can't fail to succeed, not to mention the existence of "Dimensionality Reduction" proves that you have a much stronger talent in writing than others."

Su Nuannuan looked at Tang Yifeng's shining eyes, which were full of trust and pride. She bit her lip, and finally nodded as if she had made up her mind, "Okay, then I will listen to you."

Tang Yifeng stretched out his hand and gently patted the back of Su Nuannuan's hand, "Just concentrate on writing, I will help you arrange the staffing of the studio, and Tang Yun will help you with the external contact work, you don't need to spend money The extra time is spent on the operation of the studio. At the end of each month, the finance department will write a report on the financial status of the studio’s operations and send it to you. You only need to spend a day or half a day looking at the report.”

"Well, I understand!"

Now that Tang Yifeng said so, Su Nuannuan felt relieved. From this point of view, no matter whether she signed a contract with Tang Corporation or opened a studio by herself, the content of the work has not changed.

Seeing that a consensus had been reached on the studio, Tang Yun pointed to the invitation letter in front of Su Nuannuan and asked, "Sister Nuannuan, are you going to this awards show?"

Su Nuannuan lowered her head and glanced at the time and place above. The awards show is scheduled for a week later, "If I go, how long do I need to stay there?"

"Including the time spent on the road back and forth, it will take four days!"

"Four days? So long?" Su Nuannuan lowered her head and thought for a while, then looked up at Tang Yun, "Is it a rule that you must participate? Will it affect the final selection result if you don't participate?"

"That's not true. If the author himself cannot attend because of something, he can let the representative attend the party."

"If that's the case, then I won't go. I have to hurry up and write the script. I can't leave for such a long time. If possible, can you go for me, Ayun?"

"Me?!" Tang Yun pointed at himself in surprise, "Sister Nuannuan, you have to think carefully. According to the news I got, this award is basically yours, and the Hugo Award is widely distributed throughout Europe and America. Even the science fiction circles in the whole world are the top honors. As the first Chinese female author to win the Hugo Award, once you appear at the party, you will become a household name overnight. It is very helpful for career development.”

"I understand these reasons. It's just that my personality is not so good at publicity, and I don't want so many people to know me. The author should be the person behind the story. There is no need to be a public figure, at least I’m not ready for such a mentality yet, and I always feel that if an author is known by too many people, this will weaken the image of the characters he wrote, and it will also affect the reader’s understanding of the story and the characters in the story.”

What Su Nuannuan said was her true thoughts, so over the years, many of the authors who have signed contracts with her on the website have done Weibo plus V certification, and even when the live broadcast gradually flourished, they started reading on the reading side. However, Su Nuannuan was unmoved no matter how many people persuaded her to increase her exposure and subscriptions in this way.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s the arrogance of a literati, or she is stubborn. She hopes that readers will like her because they like the stories she writes and the characters in her stories, not because they like her. .

In her opinion, the latter is a contempt for her story and the characters in the story. This contempt comes from the author herself, and as a story writer, she does not allow herself to do so.

Tang Yun took a careful look at the expression on Su Nuannuan's face, "Okay, since Miss Nuannuan has made up her mind, I will go to this party for you. By the way, after winning the award, whether it is foreign media or domestic The media will definitely interview many questions about you, Nuan Nuan, do you have anything you want me to convey to these media and readers for you?"

"There is nothing to say, how about this, you help me thank them for their support and love, you can answer for me from your professional point of view for questions about my works, if it involves privacy questions, try not to answer , I hope to weaken my presence in front of the public as much as possible.”

"Weaken the sense of existence?!" Tang Yun didn't expect Su Nuannuan to have such a request. At Su Nuannuan's age, such an achievement can be considered a wunderkind. Shouldn't a wunderkind have high spirits and hope that the whole world will like her? ?

"Yes, for readers, it is enough to know that I am the author of this book. They don't need to know who I am and what I am usually like."

"However, once the list of winners of the Hugo Awards is announced, there must be many reporters who want to interview you. Increased exposure at this time will be of great benefit to you and the future development of the studio. Could it be that Nuannuan sister Do you want to give up this easy-to-reach benefit to others?"

"The benefits obtained through this method are not a long-term solution after all. As an author and a screenwriter, you still have to speak with your work, Ayun, this will be a hard work for you, try to help me if you can. And I've been very busy with work recently, so I really don't have much time to deal with it."

During the conversation between Su Nuannuan and Tang Yun, Tang Yifeng didn't intervene until Su Nuannuan clearly expressed her thoughts, and then he looked at Tang Yun, "Tang Yun, you can follow Nuannuan's instructions on this matter." Feel free to do it, what Nuan Nuan said is right, the future will last forever, and it is true power to speak with good works.”

Tang Yun looked at Su Nuannuan, then at Tang Yifeng, and sighed helplessly, "Okay, since you both made such a choice, what else can I say? I can only respect your decision. "

After saying this, she looked down at the time on the watch, picked up the chopsticks and swept the last bit of rice in the bowl into her mouth in one go, then put all the documents on the table into the briefcase, and waited for everything to clear up. After she was done, she carried the briefcase and the coat that was put aside with one hand, and was ready to go out.

"Brother Feng, Sister Nuannuan, I also made an appointment with a foreign publisher in the afternoon to discuss the foreign copyright issue of the follow-up story of your "Dimensionality Reduction". Now the time is almost up, so I will leave first. Take your time."

After saying this, she rushed out of the private room in a hurry. Sun Yuannuan looked at Tang Yun's walking figure through the bamboo curtain, and smiled faintly, "Ah Yun is really interesting, I think maybe the two of us will be together." Can be best friends."

Tang Yifeng picked up a chopsticks of soup baby dishes for Su Nuannuan and put them in her bowl, "Tang Yun is a girl I watched and grew up with, this girl, besides tossing herself like a kid, she has to be a little bit stronger, and the other I can't find anything wrong with her, I chose her to be your manager because I thought the two of you could get along well, and now that you like her so much, it also shows that I made the right choice."

"Your vision has always been good, so there's nothing wrong with it!" Su Nuannuan smiled and praised Tang Yifeng, "By the way, just now Ayun said to talk about the international copyright behind "Dimension Reduction", but didn't you still talk about it just now?" Is the full copyright of "Dimension Reduction" owned by Tang Corporation?"

"The full copyright of "Dimension Reduction" is not fake in Tang Corporation, but it refers to the part you have published so far. As for the part that has not been released, the copyright is still in your own hands, or in your studio. Now, Tang Corporation's project department hasn't found you yet, but when the Hugo Awards are announced, I think they should come to you."

"Hey~" Su Nuannuan sighed in embarrassment, and looked at Tang Yifeng, "You didn't tell me about this earlier, the project meeting will be held in the afternoon, what attitude do you think I should have with them Getting along with each other, I originally thought that I would come here as a colleague, but now I don’t know if it is still a colleague. Also, if I get to know them well, when the time comes, they will come to me directly to talk about the follow-up copyright issue, then I will How should I answer, if this is only related to my own interests, it doesn't matter how I deal with it, but after all, there is still Ayun's 30.00% commission!"

Seeing Su Nuannuan's worried expression, Tang Yifeng grinned.

Su Nuannuan turned her head and glared at Tang Yifeng, reached out and twisted his waist gently, "What are you laughing at?"
