057【Negotiation】
"Then Mr. Cha, what do you decide to do?" Xia Tian asked with concern again.
Jin Yong didn't know what to do for a moment.
In recent years, Gu Long suffered from liver disease and injured his hand, his creations have dropped sharply. From 81 to now, no new works have been released for three years.
The new generation of writers such as Huang Ying, Long Chengfeng, etc. Although their works are also very popular, they never reach the height of Gu Long. After all, a copycat is a copycat. Even if they are imitated, they still cannot replace the original position.
Therefore, when the young and old age was in a state of disagreement, Ni Geng became the most popular writer now. Two years ago, Hong Kong's famous cartoonist Huang Yulang invited Ni Geng to write articles and even offered a sky-high price of 500 yuan, which was higher than Jin Yong, Gu Long and Liang Yusheng's value.
Jin Yong's supplementary "Ming Pao" now relies on Ni Geng's science fiction novels to attract readers. The martial arts novels of other writers are not as popular as him. If Ni Geng really decides to withdraw his article and transfer to other newspapers, the sales of "Ming Pao" will definitely be affected.
Ming Pao is the lifeblood of Jin Yong, which is much more important than martial arts novels. Therefore, if you have to face such great losses in order to revitalize martial arts novels, Jin Yong can't help but feel a little difficult to make a decision.
"Let's do this, Mr. Cha, I think you and Mr. Ni Geng have been friends for many years, so they won't really break up because of this trivial matter. I suggest you better talk to him again, and it's better to ask an intermediary to talk to him." Xia Tian suggested.
"Besides, you can explain your thoughts to Mr. Ni Geng. I think he shouldn't be so unintentional. Moreover, I have read all these manuscripts. Although they are well written, they are still a bit far from Mr. Ni Geng. He doesn't have to worry about being stolen from his job." Xia Tian said again.
"You said it very well, just do it." Jin Yong nodded. After all, he and Ni Geng have been friends for decades, so of course they don't want to break off their relationship because of this. Moreover, in order to maintain the sales of newspapers, he does need Ni Geng's manuscripts.
He then called his old friend Huang Zheng and asked him to be a peacemaker, and asked Ni Geng to come out for a meal together. Huang Zheng and they were called the three talented men in Xiangjiang. [Later, Cai Lan, who wrote a food column, was also called the four talented men in Xiangjiang.] The relationship has always been very close, and he is loyal and humorous, so it would be perfect for him to be a peacemaker.
Sure enough, when Huang Zhen heard this, he immediately agreed.
After a while, he called and made an appointment to have lunch and chat together.
"A Tian, please come with me at noon." Jin Yong looked at Xia Tian and said.
"No need, Mr. Ni and I had a very happy quarrel last time. I don't think he would be happy to see me. Besides, this time it was a gathering of your old friends, and it seems that it was not good for me, an outsider like me." Xia Tian said with a smile.
He was not interested in attending this party at all. Whether Jin Yong could persuade Ni Geng or not, he had no connection with him. He only wanted to write books to make money, and did not want to get involved in these messy things.
However, after hearing his words, Jin Yong thought Xia Tian was very good. He knew how to advance and retreat, but not be arrogant. If someone else had known that there was such a party, he would have long been eager to come over. After all, it would not be easy to get a meal with the three talented men in Xiangjiang. It is really commendable that Xia Tian could withstand such temptation.
"It's okay, just go with me." Jin Yong waved his hand, "You understand fantasy novels more deeply than me, just for me to explain to Huang Zhan and Ni Geng. You all know that I am clumsy in words and not good at speaking."
Seeing him say this, Xia Tian had to nod.
...
At noon, Xia Tian accompanied Jin Yong to the Peninsula Restaurant, which is also a place where Hong Kong celebrities, wealthy businessmen, celebrities and giants come often.
I won’t talk about how gorgeous the decoration is and how rich the dishes are. Just the waitress hired, the quality of the Hong Kong sister, is catching up with the sister of Hong Kong, which makes Xia Tian feel excited when he sees it. He sighs that rich people will enjoy happiness and even have to have a "color, fragrance and taste" for a meal.
Under the guidance of a female waiter, Xia Tian accompanied Jin Yong to the private room. As soon as he entered, he saw Huang Zhan holding the hand of a female waiter and showing him his palm.
"Your hands are fair and plump, which means you are a blessed person. But your career line is not strong, so you need the support of a noble person..." Huang Zhan said while touching someone's hand.
Although the waitress knew that he was making a fool of himself, she didn't mind. Because Huang Zhan was a talented man from Xiangjiang, and was knowledgeable and humorous, she was naturally very eager to have close contact with such a celebrity. Not to mention that he still has a million dollars in wealth. Although he is a little older, it doesn't matter. Turning off the lights is not the same.
"Hmm!" Jin Yong coughed lightly and walked in.
"Ah, Brother Cha, you are here." Huang Zhan heard the voice, quickly let go of the woman's hand, stood up to greet him with a smile.
The waitress might as well have someone come in, and she couldn't help but blush with shame, lowered her head and walked out quickly.
Huang Zhan stared at the waitress's buttocks, and waited for her to leave the box and disappeared after a turn, then suddenly withdrew her gaze.
Then he saw Jin Yongzheng looking at him speechlessly. He couldn't help but laugh at himself, "Brother Cha, you all know that I have this disease."
Jin Yong shook his head, "You have Lin Yanni who has you, but it's not enough. You have to pick flowers and break willows outside. You have to be careful. If Miss Lin finds out, you will be in trouble again."
"Not afraid, at worst, I can go to your house to hide for a few more days." Huang Zhan giggled, not caring, "By the way, this little brother is..." He pointed at Xia Tian again.
"Hello Uncle Zhan, I'm Xia Tian. I really admire your name for a long time. I'm lucky to finally see you today." Xia Tian took the initiative to introduce himself.
To be honest, he was very excited to see Huang Zhan today because he really admired his musical talent. "Men Should Be Self-Enhancing", "A Laugh in the Sea", "A Chinese Ghost Story", etc. are all classics in the movie soundtrack, and they are never tired of listening to it.
"Ah, hello." Seeing Xia Tian so enthusiastic, Huang Zhan couldn't help feeling a little happy. He just didn't know his specific identity, so Huang Zhan didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
"A Tian is my little friend, very talented, and he is a first-class person in writing novels." Jin Yong introduced with a smile.
"It seems that you are really amazing to be praised by Brother Cha." Huang Zhan said in surprise, because he knew that Jin Yong had a very high vision and did not praise others often. It must be quite impressive to get his praise from Xia Tian.
"Where is where, Mr. Cha loves you well." Xia Tian said modestly.
"By the way, Brother Cha, what happened to you and Brother Ni? Do you still need me to do peace? " Huang Zhan asked curiously. He knew that Jin Yong and Ni Geng had known each other for thirty years, much earlier than him, and had always had a close relationship. He didn't know why they asked him to be a middleman today because of their relationship.
"You look at these manuscripts first, and I'll let A Tian talk to you slowly." Jin Yong took out several manuscripts and handed them to Huang Zhan.
Huang Zhan took the manuscript and read it quickly.
Xia Tian told the story concisely.
"So that's how it is." Huang Zhan nodded after reading the manuscript.
"You said, is he a bit too much? I proposed this revitalizing martial arts novel. These writers submitted these manuscripts in response to my call. Now he actually asked me to refuse these manuscripts for his own benefit. How do you ask me to explain to those writers, and how can the martial arts novels be revitalized?" Jin Yong asked angrily.
Although he knew the whole thing clearly, he was still a little annoyed after hearing Xia Tian say it. Revitalizing martial arts novels is a good thing that benefits the present and the future. Promoting this reform by himself is neither for fame nor for profit, but is entirely out of public aspirations.
I don’t know why I not only didn’t get the support of my old friend, but was dragged by him and even had to stab him in the back. It was really annoying to think about it.
"It sounds like this, it's true that Brother Ni is wrong." Huang Zhan nodded, and he didn't agree with Ni Geng's doing this. After all, the subject matter of science fiction is not unique to him. He can write it, and others can write it too. There is no reason that you can only write it yourself and not let others write it.
Take myself as an example. He wrote the theme song for TV series on TV stations, and others can also write the theme song for TV. You can't just give other lyricists a bowl because of their good relationship with TVB.
Eating alone will cause public anger!
While chatting, I heard footsteps. As soon as the door opened, Ni Geng walked in with a crutch.
When he saw Jin Yong, his face was as usual. But when he saw Xia Tian, his face suddenly darkened.
If this brat hadn't been talking nonsense at the symposium and called on those people to imitate themselves, how could this happen now?
"Brother Ni, you are here, sit down." Huang Zhan stepped forward enthusiastically and greeted.
"Mr. Ni." Xia Tian also stood up and greeted him quickly.
Ni Geng ignored him and just smiled and chatted with Huang Zhan for a few words, then found a seat and sat down.
"Brother Ni, Brother Cha told me the story just now. But if you listen to both sides, you will be clear, and if you listen to both sides, you will be secret. If you are old, you can't just listen to others' words. I think you can tell your views too." Huang Zhan said again, "Don't worry, I, a middleman, are not biased and absolutely neutral."
Ni Geng nodded and also explained his thoughts.
The point is nothing more than someone else writing about this subject, and it is easy to take away his job. He doesn't want to be like Gu Long, who will make those copycat writers fat, but he will be poor and destitute.
However, Ni Geng's eloquence is much better than Jin Yong. Although his reason is selfish, after hearing him say it, it makes people feel that he is really pitiful and can't bear to steal his job.
He fell to eighth again, it's so miserable! He was repeatedly exposed to analm!
Lao Bai really couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked for recommendations, collections, and support again!
