Chapter 205 Harry Potter
205 Harry Potter
Zhao Yuliang told all the conditions he could offer, without reservation, without squeezing toothpaste, but with all his words, very sincere.
But Chen Fei understood that he had no choice but to do so.
It is very difficult for Chinese people to develop their careers in the United Nations League, especially when they reach Zhao Yuliang's level. It is very difficult to take a step further.
It is very simple for Chinese people to find a job, but if they want to enter the management level, they will be blocked layer by layer, and very few will succeed in the end.
The reason why Zhao Yuliang has the current position is, on the one hand, inseparable from his efforts and ability, and on the other hand, it is also related to coincidence.
The sales of the Nurete Times were getting worse every day. The board of directors was very anxious and thought of many ways, but it was useless. At this time, an important member of the board of directors met Zhao Yuliang and admired him very much. When the two talked about the business difficulties of the Nurete Times, Zhao Yuliang said his own ideas. After that, he naturally became the editor-in-chief of the Nurete Times, who was fully responsible for the operation and management of the newspaper. That is, after he took office, he proposed the idea of publishing novels in the Nurete Times. After it was implemented, the effect was not bad. Of course, the real outbreak lies in the serialization of "The Shawshank Redemption".
At this time, the development of the Nurete Times has entered a very critical time node. If this momentum can continue, the development of the Nurete Times will definitely get better and better. But if it comes to an abrupt end, the Nurete Times will probably repeat the mistakes of other traditional media.
Therefore, Zhao Yuliang cares so much about Chen Fei's next novel, and he does not hesitate to offer sky-high royalties and gives all the discounts he can give.
Chen Fei is also a person who is grateful to him. He is so kind to him, so of course he will not deliberately make things difficult for others. When Chinese people are outside, they should have united and helped each other? The ones he hated the most in his life were those who fight in the nest.
So he quickly took out some manuscript paper from his bag and handed it to Zhao Yuliang.
The manuscript is written on Harry Potter.
"Harry Potter" is a magical literature series written by British writer J.K. Rowling from 1997 to 2007? A total of 7 novels.
The first six of them are based on the Hogwarts Magic School, and describe the story of the protagonist, the young wizard student Harry Potter, who studied and lived and adventure six years before and after Hogwarts; the seventh book describes the story of Harry Potter looking for Horcrux and destroying Voldemort during the Second Magic World War.
As of May 2013? The "Harry Potter" series has been translated into 73 languages? More than 500 million copies have been sold.
Warner Bros. Film Company of the United States changed these 7 episodes into 8 movies, one in the first 6 episodes? The seventh episode is divided into two. The Harry Potter film series is the most popular movie series in the world's history, with a total box office revenue of US$7.8 billion.
The original author of "Harry Potter" has become the world's top best-selling author with this series of novels? And has become one of the most influential people? It can be called a true book of God.
The reason why Chen Fei chose this work was because he was attracted by his role as "a book of gods".
At this time, he had accumulated a certain reputation with the novella "The Shawshank Redemption", so if he continues to work hard? Republish "Harry Potter" again? Then his position in the Western world will be as solid as a rock, and no one can shake his position in the future.
If he continues to serve as the director of two works and brings the corresponding movies to the big screen, then? His influence will surely be recorded in the history of the world and become a monument in the history of human culture that no one can ignore? At that time, he waved his arms. The person who echoed will not be ten thousand or twenty thousand, but tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
This is his carefully formulated development route? It is the result of his hard thinking? High efficiency? It has a great impact. Once it is done, it will make a splash.
There is no need for Chen Fei to say much about the novel Harry Potter. His excellence is obvious to all. Nicolet Jones, editor of the Sunday Times, said: "The Harry Potter series is a classic. It makes good use of the children's literature tradition and makes it very profound. A sign of whether children's books are classic lies in whether they are attractive to adults. The Harry Potter series clearly has this feature. Like all the best children's books, "Harry Potter" provides endless fun for adults who are not losing their childlike innocence. The most important thing is that "Harry Potter" allows readers to see the power of virtue in an immoral era."
Writer Chen Danyan also concluded: "Harry Potter" is a novel with very literary characteristics. If you only read one, you may not be famous, but if you read the complete version, you can see the tradition of British literature and British history; and the structure is huge, not a story of small openings and closings. Only with a certain amount of literary literacy and logical ability can you write such a work. Writers who have a positive opinion of "Harry Potter", critics believe that we should not blindly reject "Harry Potter" but should think about its inspiration for Chinese writers and literary publishing.
Therefore, the publication of this story will definitely cause a sensation.
At this time, what Chen Fei showed Zhao Yuliang was part of the printed manuscripts, not many, because he started writing this story.
"Harry Potter?" Zhao Yuliang was stunned when he saw the name of the novel. With his keen protagonist who was a reporter and editor-in-chief, he felt that this novel should be different from the previous series "The Shawshank Redemption", and even the type is different.
After coming to his senses, he quickly lowered his head, narrowed his eyes, and his bright eyes were frozen on the printed manuscript paper. The wind blowing in from the open car window blew his sparse but neatly combed hair into a sparse, but he didn't care, and just looked at the text world composed of twenty-six English letters with concentration.
The text on the manuscript reads:
Chapter 1: Traveling through Harry Potter
Anna held the knife and focused on the tip of the knife, cutting the sugar cube into cubes of equal size.
The sugar cube mixed into the coffee with milk and stirred slowly. Anna couldn't help but mutter, "perfect". Then she held the tray, tiptoed, and walked upstairs quietly like a clever cat. Anna gently lowered the tray on the table without making a sound, staring at George's back.
"It's finally completed, it's worthy of being the most difficult Fuling agent to refine. The six-month refining period cannot be shortened." George couldn't help but feel very happy after the six-month refining was finally completed.
"I'm so sorry, Sister Anna, I didn't notice you." After putting away the Fuling agent and sorting out the tools, George saw Anna and the cold coffee.
"Young Master, you will devote yourself to it as soon as you are busy. This is the advantage of becoming a great wizard. However, a great wizard also needs rest and needs to eat on time." Seeing George forgetting to eat and sleep in the magic world, Anna was both relieved and a little distressed.
"In addition, don't forget that the great wizard is Hogwarts' admission day. Besides books, materials, clothes, and items prepared in advance, please think about what else you need to bring with you?" As a perfect maid, Anna will not forget the most important thing.
"It's true, thanks to Sister Anna, you reminded me, otherwise I would have almost forgotten." The magic was touching. It took a full six months to refine the Fuling agent. Before Hogwarts started school, George did not dare to be distracted at all. Fortunately, he completed it a few days before school enrollment.
"I have checked my luggage before and I still need to bring it with me. Only Sister Anna, or I will never be able to meet you for a long time after going to Hogwarts." George picked up a piece of snack, mixed it in the coffee, and answered seriously.
Hearing this, Anna covered her mouth and smiled softly, her eyebrows and eyes curled into crescent moons, "Young master, you really know how to make people happy. Hogwarts is not allowed to bring a maid." After being interrupted by George, Anna felt better, and her melancholy of being about to parting was relieved a little.
......
When he first started reading, Zhao Yuliang was not fast. Although he didn't have to say one word after another, his reading was slow, because he was not just reading, he also looked at these words with an editor's eyes, word selection and sentence making, article grammar, cultural history, common sense logic, etc. He looked at the past one by one, analyzing the past, and secretly said while reading in his heart, "Well, right, this Chen Fei is really good. Although he has never studied abroad, his understanding and application of English is really
More sophisticated and skillful than many native foreigners, this word selection... this sentence... is wonderful... it's really wonderful... I don't know what words to use to describe my heart's feelings... People often say that the gift of heaven is a gift of heaven is a person who really has the gift of heaven is awesome. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe that there were such excellent people in the world... The magic of the Creator... It's really unimaginable...
At the beginning, Zhao Yuliang's mind would have various thoughts, analyzing the grammar of the article and feeling a lot of emotion, but this situation did not last long, because he quickly forgot everything, just like falling into a black hole, and even thinking could not escape. All his thoughts were immersed in the world created by English words, and there was no other thought, the literary and social value of this novel, the future of the Nurete Times, his development, etc., he remembered nothing, and only the story of Harry Potter in his mind.
But such a wonderful experience did not last long, because, in a short while, all the manuscripts were finished.
Hum? It's gone?
Zhao Yuliang was stunned.
He raised his head and looked at Chen Fei sideways. After he got a positive answer from Chen Fei's face, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and at the same time he complained: Why is it gone? His heart is still itchy, why is it gone? Why don't you write more?
Of course, he didn't say these words because they must be inappropriate.
After watching, Zhao Yuliang let out a sigh of relief and calmed his emotions. He did not speak in a hurry, but turned his head to look out the window. There were still large areas of space outside the window, and the wet earthy atmosphere blew in in the wind. Birds flew up from both sides of the road in a flash. In the further view, the outline of the city was already looming.
Withdrew his gaze, Zhao Yuliang looked at Chen Fei and said seriously: "Xiao Chen..."
He changed his name from Mr. Chen to Xiao Chen.
Because in his heart, Chen Fei's status has changed again.
"Xiao Chen, I'll call you like this in the future, isn't it a problem?"
"No problem, then I will call you Brother Zhao in the future." Chen Fei replied with a smile. He is also a person who knows the elegance of the songs and naturally will not give people face. He is a newcomer now. If he wants to develop in the United Nations League and become a better person, he needs the support and help of local Chinese. He also has the idea of establishing a community, so he naturally cannot refuse others' kindness.
When Zhao Yuliang heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly called Xiao Chen affectionately.
"Xiao Chen, we are about to enter the city. Otherwise, you might as well stop staying in a hotel and stay at my house!"
Zhao Yuliang's words came out, and Shang Hong, who was driving in the front row, stopped doing it: "Hey, Lao Zhao, you are not interested enough. Are you robbing my job?"
He also began to care about Chen Fei's affairs.
He didn't have much feelings for Chen Fei before. At most, he thought that this guy was still a powerful character, but he had always received a powerful character, so he didn't care much about it. The people he had served before were basically big shots in China, such as the bosses of a company, and the senior officials of a government, were also figures. But through the brief scenes just now, especially in the last part, Zhao Yuliang actually personally invited Chen Fei to live in his house. He keenly realized that Chen Fei was different from anyone he had received before. He was definitely the best among people, so he immediately cheered up 120 points. Therefore, when he heard Zhao Yuliang's words, he stopped doing it. If Chen Fei went to Zhao Yuliang's house, what else would he do!
Chen Fei is his big customer, so he has served him well. It is not impossible to follow Chen Fei to eat delicious food and drink spicy food in the future. Therefore, this opportunity must not be lost.
So he immediately expressed his strong dissatisfaction, and soon he said: "Old Zhao, I have booked a hotel for Brother Fei."
After hearing Shang Hong's words, Chen Fei naturally knew what he meant. He didn't want to go to others very much. He didn't want to stay in a room alone, do whatever he wanted, free and free, and didn't have to pretend to be a gentleman's seriousness. He lay down whenever he wanted, sat down when he wanted, and crossed his legs when he wanted to cross his legs. So he refused: "Brother Zhao, Xiao Shang has booked a hotel for me, so I'll stay in the hotel. And I still have a few people to meet in the past few days, so it's more convenient to be in the hotel."
Zhao Yuliang was slightly disappointed when he heard this, but he didn't want to say much: "Okay, Xiao Chen, then listen to you, but you must come to my house as a guest when you have time. Then I will personally treat you. Xiao Chen, come to Meilian, and it will not be easy to eat authentic hometown dishes, but I happen to be able to make the best hometown dishes. If I remember well, Xiao Chen's favorite is Sichuan flavor, right?"
"Yes, I have been away for so many years, and I like Sichuan flavor the most." Chen Fei said with a smile.
"Then you must come to my house. I am very good at making double-cooked pork and Mapo tofu!"
"Okay, then I will definitely come." Chen Fei agreed with a smile.
This is also a good opportunity to enhance your relationship, so you can't miss it.
"Oh, by the way, Xiao Chen, I heard from Miss Linda that you seem to have a lot of research on the future development of the media industry. So can you give me some advice on how traditional media like us can survive in the future?"
He posed very lowly, looking humbly asking for advice.
After hearing his question, even Linda, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around, looking attentive to listen.
Shang Hong, who was driving, was very surprised when he saw it.
He originally thought that Chen Fei was just an artist, even though the novels he wrote had become popular throughout the entire AFC, it was only an artist. But now, the editor-in-chief of the Nurete Times asked him to guide his business. What is true or false, it was not that two people played a double act, right?
He quickly glanced in the rearview mirror. With his sharp eyes that he saw countless people, he could tell at a glance that Zhao Yuliang was not acting, but listening seriously. Moreover, Linda on the co-pilot next to him was also an attitude of a primary school student listening carefully to the teacher's lectures. So he was really shocked. How could Chen Fei be so awesome?
In the back seat, Chen Fei saw that Zhao Yuliang was not like a joke, but was serious. He was a little surprised, so he looked at Linda first, and just glanced at him and understood that it must be Linda's relationship. So, after sorting out his thoughts, he said, "In the future, traditional media will survive more difficult, and at least two-thirds will die!"
What? Two-thirds of the death?
Zhao Yuliang was shocked.
The current traditional media, especially paper media, have already had a very difficult life, but two-thirds of them will die in the future...
Oh my God, isn’t this not leaving a way out for people?
Chen Fei said seriously: "With the increase in mobile network speed and the maturity of algorithms, two-thirds of people's attention and leisure time will be trapped in some short videos. In addition, short videos are indeed more attractive than print media, so fewer and fewer people subscribe to traditional print media, and more and more print media will not be able to survive.
However, gradually, people will also find that intelligent algorithms and short videos bring people mostly junk spiritual food, and intelligent algorithms have a natural flaw. They will only push you something you like to watch, but in this world, we don’t just watch what you like to watch, otherwise... men go to see beauty, women go to see handsome guys, so some elites will not like new media, but they will prefer traditional paper media. Therefore, traditional paper media like the Nurete Times, if you want to survive, the most important thing is to gradually become elite, but elite will lose some traditional users. Therefore, Brother Zhao, your idea is very correct. Use novels to retain the general public, and then make newspapers into elite products, retain the middle class and elites. In this way, you can slowly survive in the cruel market environment, and then gradually rely on quality and characteristics to find your own world!"
