What should I do if the system forces me to copy books?

"..."

"It's because I'm a little anxious. Didn't I just remember that Hou Yi mentioned to me about the date of "Sword Come" before, and it will probably be around mid-June without accident. I thought about it, just like "Lord of the Rings "The release date is about the same, it seems that it is already May, and it is estimated that the filming has been completed and the post-production special effects are being produced."

Needless to say, although Li Chungang's guess is not [-]% accurate, he has guessed more than [-]% of the current progress of the "Sword Come" crew, and what he doesn't know is that the global signing ceremony held at Random House Two days before the meeting, their Jianlai crew had just officially held the "finishing" ceremony.

At that time, Hou Yi wanted to call and invite Li Chungang, who is one of the screenwriters and investors, to come. Unfortunately, Li Chungang, who was in the United States at the time, did not receive the call because the mobile phone card did not open the transnational business, so he had to miss it unfortunately. .

In addition, his itinerary to return to China was kept secret. Except for the students on the campus of Tsinghua University who knew that Li Chungang had quietly returned to China and abroad, that is, some people who were familiar with him knew this news. Everyone thought that Li Chungang was still busy with the cooperation with Random House in New York at this time, and these people naturally included Hou Yi and others from the Jianlai crew.

"I don't know Chungang, have you ever heard of Xu Jie?"

"Xu Jie!?" The first moment Li Chungang heard such a name, a strong sense of familiarity arose in his mind. He always felt that this name and this person had been heard or seen before, but he couldn't think of it for a while. Looking up specific memories, "This name sounds very familiar. I must have heard of it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while."

"Hahahaha!" Lin Meng couldn't help chuckling when he heard the words.

Qin Jingtian, who heard the conversation between the two of them, also raised the corners of his mouth, but at this time, as a subordinate, he should stand up and help the leader: "Speaking of Xu Jie, you may not know the boss, but when it comes to his songs, boss You must have heard it 100%, you must know that he is known as the childhood singer of the young generation born in the [-]s, and many familiar songs are sung by him."

After hearing what Qin Jingtian said.

Li Chungang squinted at Qin Jingtian with his quiet eyes, and said angrily: "You will say that you are a post-[-]s generation, don't you know that your boss, I am a formal post-[-]s generation? Or do you think I am Looks old? Hmm!"

"No, no, boss, that's not what I mean!" Qin Jingtian hurriedly explained that this should be regarded as a "workplace accident" in which flattering was slapped on a horse's leg. Maybe it was because of the close contact with Li Chungang during this trip to the United States, let him take a look The son forgot Li Chungang's internship age, and mistakenly took the other party's slightly mature spiritual age as his real age.

"I know you didn't mean that, I was just joking, Lao Qin, don't be nervous. Let's continue talking about Xu Jie."

"To put it simply, Xu Jie used to be very popular, so popular that his songs were so popular that his songs were sung everywhere in the streets and alleys. Then when his popularity was at its peak, he was suddenly reported by the media reporters. The brokerage company has fallen out, and they need to pay sky-high liquidated damages. All the songs that have been sung are not allowed to be sung in public because the copyright is in the brokerage company, and there are rumors..."

Chapter 546 Phoenix in Nirvana

"and then?"

"and then?"

"and then?"

Talking so much in one breath, even Lin Meng needed to take a breath, and it was during this break that Li Chungang, Qin Jingtian, and Liu Siqian almost all spoke at the same time.

The main reason is that after hearing this, not only Li Chungang, but the rest of the people here quietly moved closer to Lin Meng, just to be able to hear the next "story" more clearly.

Because judging from the first half of Lin Meng's narration, this singer named "Xu Jie" sounds like a very story-telling feeling. Just imagine... If there is no special reason, how can ordinary stars be in this place? When my popularity and popularity reached the peak, I chose to fall out with the company. There must be some unknown reason hidden in it. In addition, as long as there is a "spirit of gossip" in people's hearts, it is difficult for such things as rumors and gossip. The resistance of such content as news is almost non-existent!

Lin Meng looked at the raging flames called "Bagua" burning in the eyes of these people, and felt a little amused, but on the surface he had to put on an extremely serious expression.

"The gossip said: The boss of the brokerage company who had a falling out with Xu Jie personally told the entire industry that he wanted to block Xu Jie from all directions. Anyone who dared to give Xu Jie any chance would be against him! The brokerage company where Xu Jie was working at that time could It is said to be at the height of the sky, and there are many big-name stars under its umbrella, leading figures in the field of film and television, so no matter whether it is for fewer enemies or to sell well, Xu Jie at that time was indeed in despair. situation!"

"Tsk tsk tsk~ I didn't expect the water in the entertainment industry to be so deep! By the way, senior sister, the brokerage company you mentioned is so crazy, but why have I never heard of its name? Isn't everyone in the entertainment industry now? Are the two giants Huace and China Entertainment already known as the twin stars on the crown?" Li Chungang still believed in the story told by Lin Meng, and the other party didn't have any motive to make up stories to deceive him , but after much deliberation, he couldn't find any company in his memory that matched the amazing brokerage company she said.

"Of course you haven't heard of it, because this brokerage company declared bankruptcy a long time ago!"

"bankrupted!?"

"bankrupt?"

"Gone!?"

All kinds of exclamations came from the mouths of everyone here, and they did not expect such a result at all. How could a huge company that dared to say that the entire industry would block a single person go bankrupt in such a short period of time? Just go bankrupt, and if you say no, you'll be gone!

Lin Meng expressed deep sympathy for the surprised expressions on everyone's faces. It was the first time she heard the whole story from Xu Jie, and learned that this family was dubbed "Oriental" by people in the entertainment circle at that time. After joining the agency of DreamWorks, my reaction at that time was similar to the expressions on the faces of everyone who is working now, except for shock, it was unbelievable.

The story sounds a bit absurd, but it actually happened.

Lin Meng didn't continue to play tricks on these people, and directly announced the answer: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a case of capital annexation that can be recorded in history. I don't say that you may feel shocked and incredible, but When I tell you the truth, the two giants in the entertainment industry, China Entertainment and Huace Group, joined forces to plot against this brokerage company, and quickly divided up their assets after the brokerage company went bankrupt. 'Trophy', if you have a deep understanding of the resumes of some senior artists under these two entertainment giants, you will find that many of them used to come from the same management company on their resumes."

"This!"

"The two giants work together to calculate?"

"The commercial version of Lian Wu Kang Wei!?"

"Am I the only one who focuses on why Xu Jie broke up with the company at the peak of his popularity?"

In the end, the secretary Liu Siqian weakly raised her hand among the still-shocked crowd and asked the question that she most wanted to gossip.

"exactly!"

"Actually, we also want to know, but we were so shocked by the news that this brokerage company went bankrupt just now, that we forgot about it."

"Mr. Lin, tell us quickly. You have been in contact with Xu Jie, so you should have heard the most correct version from him."

Unlike Li Chungang, a post-zero generation who has almost no understanding of the former celebrity "Xu Jie", the only understanding is that he has heard a few songs of the other party, and that's all. The person Xu Jie knows very well, and there may even be Xu Jie's fans here, but they are too embarrassed to speak in front of everyone, so everyone is naturally full of curiosity about the reasons why Xu Jie lost his great future.

Lin Meng suddenly remembered the scene when he met Xu Jie in the company...

In my impression, Xu Jie is still the idol singer who had a sunny and handsome appearance, a strong and strong figure, talent and good looks.At that time, the idols pursued by young people all had this style, unlike in recent years, the style of the draft has become more and more weird.

He was supposed to be a man full of masculinity, with red lips and white skin, and his makeup looks like a young boy, but there is still a market in China, and he is called "little milk dog" on the Internet ; On the contrary, it is a woman who is supposed to show her feminine beauty, but I don't know when she started to cut her hair short and wear men's clothes like a man.

To be honest, this is also the reason why Li Chungang has never paid attention to domestic men's team talent shows.

When it comes to women’s team drafts, at least most of the girls who come to chase their dreams are pretty and seductive. On the contrary, if you look at the men’s team in the next year, what kind of "homogenization" has become of each of them, and they have no skills. No, thinking that you can stand on the stage and attract the audience with just a good skin, this kind of behavior is not becoming a celebrity entertainer, it is more like becoming a person who makes the audience laugh...

Joker!

Speaking of Xu Jie, he fell out with the brokerage company and had to pay liquidated damages that were sky-high at the time, which almost cost him all the money he had earned over the years. The house was sold, and the car was also sold. The remaining deposits were also emptied, and what made it worse was that being blocked by the entire industry made a person who had been in the entertainment industry for many years and had almost no skills to make a living fall into deep despair.

At first, Xu Jie thought of "escaping from reality". On a dark and windy night, he found a bridge that no one had passed, and just jumped a hundred times for the rest of his life.

But the reality is far more "fucking" than the story!

Just when he was plucking up his courage and preparing to take a leap of faith, a woman was riding a shared bicycle, as if she didn't see him in her eyes. After parking the bicycle on the side of the road, she said softly that perhaps Xu Jie had never seen him in his life. Unforgettable words:

"Since you even have the courage to die, why don't you have the courage to face life again?"

When you see this passage, it proves that the content is correct!

Chapter 547 The reality is far worse than the story

"Tsk tsk tsk - I didn't dare to write novels like this. I didn't expect such a plot to appear in reality. Let me guess... In the end, did Xu Jie and this girl finally get married?"

"Emmm... Ideally speaking, I want to tell you yes, but the fact is not. Maybe I didn't tell you clearly, because the reason why Xu Jie and the brokerage company had a complete fallout in the first place was that he secretly married and the wife is pregnant."

At this time, Lin Meng gradually revealed the real reason why Xu Jie had a relationship with the brokerage company.

Everyone: "..."

Everyone has an "answer" in their hearts that they think is reasonable and reasonable. No matter what the specific content of the answer is, it does not prevent them from being surprised. The starting point is that Xu Jie is the victim, but the reality is sometimes like this ... "Fuck"!

Many people may be puzzled and puzzled. Celebrities are also human beings, so they naturally have the right to marry and have children!

But as long as anyone who is more familiar with the ecology of entertainers in the entertainment industry at that time knows, for domestic celebrities at that time, especially idol singers, they paid great attention to this "fan economy". When an artist signs a contract, he will add a clause that "during the contract period is not allowed to fall in love" without exception.

From the point of view of ordinary people, such an overlord clause is obviously a bit inhumane.

But from the point of view of these entertainment companies, they have spent a lot of manpower, material resources and resources to make a celebrity popular, and they are preparing to not only recoup the cost from him after becoming popular, but also make a lot of money. , As a result, one day this celebrity suddenly came to tell you that he was not only in love, but also registered for marriage, and his wife was already pregnant, which means that the large investment in the early stage was basically lost. What do you think and do! ?

The brokerage company at that time believed that Xu Jie's behavior not only deceived them, but also ignored the company at all!

If it's just a small love affair, you can use some means to cover it up, but it's all raw and cooked, and you've got a marriage certificate, and the media reporters are not familiar with it, so it's clear if you don't check it a little up.The brokerage company is very good, but it is not so good that it can affect the state to cover up the facts for it.

And then……

In fact, there is no more, just like what Lin Meng said, Xu Jie is also seeking benevolence, giving up his career and choosing a family, mustering up the courage to beg for death, but finally enlightened and started to pursue his dream again.

Although after the complete bankruptcy of this brokerage company, the so-called "blocking" will naturally disappear with the wind and no longer exist, but the update and iteration of entertainment star artists is as fast as you can imagine, and it is possible that there is no exposure for a period of time Gradually forgotten by the audience, not to mention Xu Jie was banned for five years, as for popularity...

How popular is a guy who has disappeared for five full years! ?

Maybe even a talent show rookie who hasn't debuted yet!

Without an agent, no resources, and no contacts, Xu Jie, who finally survived the bankruptcy of his agency and reappeared in the entertainment industry, became a veritable "Three No Artists". , but after the effect is not good, there will be no more articles.

Over time, it seems that the name "Xu Jie" has not appeared in the entertainment industry for a long time.

……

"I see, you don't want to tell me that you entrusted Xu Jie to sing my two new songs, right?" Li Chungang said belatedly.

"Bingo! The condition is that the other party will sign a contract with our company, the copyright of the song is still in our hands, he only has the right to perform, and the treatment must be more harsh than others!"

"Okay, I don't care who will sing the song, as long as it's suitable!" Li Chungang shrugged and said that he didn't care, and didn't comment on Xu Jie's behavior at that time. Curious about the situation of the song invitation to the readers, "What about the situation of the readers, are there any elites like crouching dragons and phoenixes?"

"Don't tell me, Chun Gang, among your readers and fans, you are really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. There are not too many good music works. I even found out that the real identity of the other party is when I contacted a few of them. A well-known domestic music producer, are you exaggerating?"

This is what Lin Meng didn't expect at the beginning. Li Chungang's readers and fans cover such a wide range of industries, and some music works produced by non-professional musicians are not inferior to professional music producers in terms of level.

At that time, when she packaged and sent the large batch of completed music demos to Hou Yi, Hou Yi almost passed out from happiness!

In the past, it was a headache because there were no suitable songs, but now it is completely reversed, because there are too many suitable songs, I have a headache and distress. Of course, this kind of happy distress may not be envied by other crew directors.

Li Chungang also nodded with satisfaction that the soundtrack problem of "Sword Come" was successfully resolved.

This is also the "original intention" he chose to start with a literary agent, step by step to a personal studio, and then to expand into today's Wensi Quanyong Company. Otherwise, a person's time and energy are limited, and the How could Li Chungang take care of so many things at the same time? If Lin Meng and the others hadn't helped to deal with this, the matter of the soundtrack would have been completely forgotten, and it would be too late when he remembered it!

"Don't forget to give the rewards you promised to give to these readers who have helped us. In addition, for those who actively participated and were not selected, send them a set of autographed books. When the time comes, you can ask someone to contact them in person and ask Which work do you want!"

These "surprise gift packages" prepared in advance all came from a suggestion of Lin Meng.

She directly bought a large number of published books of Li Chungang's works from Manjinghua Company, and also bought a batch of Li Chungang's works from Longteng Peripheral Mall. The former let him take it out to sign when he was free from time to time, and the latter It is an accompanying gift as a surprise gift package.

Since you want to give it away, you have to take a good look at it, and give it decent enough!

Find a gift box specially designed by the designer, and then find the manufacturer to print Li Chungang's personalized pen name, and then put the prepared gift into the gift box, a "surprise gift package" from Li Chungang was born!

Many readers who have received the "surprise gift bag" have posted specific photos on the Internet. Such a well-prepared surprise gift bag is naturally very popular in the circle of book friends. , Follow-up means that the first fans and top voters on the "Work Celebrity List" every month can get it.

Chapter 548

In terms of "feedback to readers", Li Chungang can be said to spare no effort!

Ordinary authors, at most, use the book coins that Longteng subsidizes to authors for operation every month to hold small activities in the book review area. The rewards of the activities are nothing more than "top three reward book coins", which is equivalent to author It doesn't cost a penny, and it can win the support of readers.

And he can be said to be a "mudslide" among online writers, and he organizes activities out of his own pocket to give benefits to readers.

Take the simplest example:

At the end of each chapter of the novel, there is a chapter saying, and a long-standing activity is the "chapter saying selection activity" - counting after a chapter is uploaded and updated, and ending after 24 hours a day, the number of readers' likes The first three chapters say that you can get [-], [-], and [-] Dragon Book Coin rewards respectively.

Then there are the small events held every week in the book review area, there are countless of them!

Fortunately, there are dedicated people in charge of management and operation in all these companies, and there is no need for Li Chungang to worry about it.

After cleaning up the wind and dust for his subordinates, Li Chungang called a surrogate driver and left the seat first.

Lin Meng has already made up the next arrangements for their impromptu small team. Except for himself, everyone else will follow Qin Jingtian back to the magic capital on the next evening's air ticket, and she happens to have something to do when she stays in Yanjing. I need to talk to Man Jinghua Publishing Company in person.

Of course, what we are talking about is not about Li Chungang, but about some web writers in the company who have signed literary agency contracts.

If it was really about Li Chungang's matter, it is estimated that she, the general manager, would not have to make this trip in person. Manjinghua Publishing Company would have given the green light just by hearing the pseudonym "Zhi Chun Zhi Gang".

A normal author begs the publisher's father, but for an author at Li Chungang's level, the relationship is completely reversed, and the publisher's father begs him in turn!

—

May has come quietly, and the whole Yanjing is filled with scorching high temperature and willow catkins that are almost visible to the naked eye.

Pedestrians on the road have to wear masks one after another. It is said that the days of flying "float" will last for about 20 days.

If there is a timely rain, this situation can be restrained.

But even the unreliable weather forecast is: the weather will be sunny and sunny in the near future!

As an otaku who spends most of his time out of the house and devoting himself to writing books, the impact of Yang Liuxu on him is not too great.

Using the screens in the villa and adding the air purifier that is turned on 24 hours a day, the problem is not too big in general.

Li Chungang usually does not waste his precious time on housework such as cooking during the intense writing period, because from buying vegetables, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables and cooking to washing dishes, he also needs to communicate with He Miao in between, so as to His "strength" and "durability" can't be over within three to five hours.

At that time, with his hand speed, he could write at least [-] and thousands of words more!

At this time, the importance of having a girlfriend is perfectly reflected. When at home, He Miao cooks for most of them. Even if Li Chungang suddenly came to show off his cooking skills several times, he was rejected. In the future, the kitchen will gradually become the "absolute domain" of Hemiao.

The global release date of "The Lord of the Rings", if nothing else, is set on June 6th, which happens to be on the same day as Keppel Ron's "The Lost City".

It's just because there are actually only a few global printing factories that have a cooperative relationship with Random House, and almost all of them have been used to print Keppel Ron's "Lost in Time and Space", so if Caitlin and the others want to keep up with the delay If not, then the delivery date left for Li Chungang will become very limited.

If Li Chungang hadn't vowed in front of Caitlin and the others to keep the follow-up content in his head, and was confident that he could complete the next content within a month, otherwise Caitlyn would never have come up with such a crazy plan!
