Chapter 132 Looking for the gunman
I roughly discussed the cooperation method of peripheral products with Adam. The two of them discussed a framework. The following details were naturally improved by people below. At noon, I had lunch at the restaurant next to me. The one who accompanied Adam was his secretary, a typical American sweet girl.
Adam and this female secretary are obviously not ordinary. In the United States, the personal female secretary or actress’s personal assistant is responsible for solving the boss’s work problems, and also needs to be responsible for solving the boss’s personal problems. This is no longer an unspoken rule, but an explicit rule.
When the two discussed the party tomorrow, the female secretary was obviously very moved. After all, in the United States, no one wants to see Rockefeller. If she can appear as Adam's female companion, it will be enough for her to brag in her circle for ten years.
However, Adam's female companion has been booked. According to him, he is a classmate from Harvard University, and it seems that he is from a lady named Tiny from the UK.
After saying that, Adam asked Duqi, "Du, do you have a female companion? If you need it, I can help you meet a junior at Harvard University, or I know that tonight, the sisters will have a party, and I can take you over to meet a female companion."
Duqi swallowed a piece of steak and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but no need. I have made an appointment with a female companion. She should have arrived this afternoon. I will go to the airport to pick her up later."
"Since that's the case, there's no problem. Can you know who your female companion is? Did you know at Stanford?" Adam asked.
"No, she's actually studying literature at Yale University now," Duche said slowly. "And you should have heard of her, Judy Foster."
"Wow, it's her. After that incident, you didn't even draw a clear distance from her." Adam said, "You must know that someone can assassinate the president for her!"
The wings of the butterfly waving, obviously did not affect a fanatical guy. He still chose to assassinate Reagan. The Hinckley incident happened. Unfortunately, it was not professional enough and naturally it was impossible to succeed, but it also made Judy fall into a vortex of public opinion like in her previous life.
"Come on, Adam, smart people know that this has nothing to do with her." Duqi gave Adam a blank look and said, "Judy and I have always been friends with good relationships. After the last premiere, we often 'discuss literature' together."
"Well, I didn't expect that Judy Foster was a literary fan, and you were a writer. I heard you were preparing for a new work? Didn't "Song of Ice and Fire" just released five volumes?"
Duchi slowly said, "There are indeed two volumes of "Song of Ice and Fire" that have not been released, but I have finished the story long ago, so last year, I rewritten a novel about fighting against the Demon King of Hell, called "Diablo"."
"Is it a hero novel? It sounds like the plot is cliché."
"It's indeed a relatively cliché plot, but being able to write vulgar stories in a fascinating way is the most challenging thing for the writer." Duqi said, "In fact, before I came to New York, I just finished the novel.
But Random House is still discussing whether to wait until the novel is released after the serialization of "Song of Ice and Fire" is completed, or to start preparing for promotion and distribution now.
After all, novels with magical themes, and promotion can certainly arouse the enthusiasm of fans, but are not conducive to long-term interests. I did not express my opinion on this matter, but it depends on the arrangements of Random Bookstore. After all, they are professionals."
"To be honest, I didn't expect that you would write so quickly." Adam said, "the famous writers I saw before were not as productive as you."
"This is actually not fast." Duqi shrugged his shoulders. "Song of Ice and Fire" was completed before college, so Diablo is the work I have spent time writing in recent years. And the reason why the writers have fewer works after becoming famous is that they have higher requirements for their works and want to strive for excellence. Once the reputation of the works declines, it will be a huge loss for them. Secondly, there is no urgent pressure on life and no enough motivation, and the speed of writing will naturally slow down."
Copyright protection in Europe and the United States is very strict. Basically, one or two best-selling novels are enough to allow a writer to gain enough wealth to spend his whole life leisurely and have enough money. Apart from playing, fishing, playing golf, partying, etc., after you succeed, even if you attend a single gain, you can get a considerable amount of money. Isn’t these things much more interesting or simpler than if you sit in front of a typewriter and typing?
So usually world-class writers are very poor, and only poverty will motivate them to create.
Once you achieve success and fame, you no longer lack career and money, and you can abandon a comfortable and comfortable life, have a strong love for literature, and continue to create for ten years, not one out of ten thousand writers.
Even Du Qi now starts to feel that he doesn’t have much thought to write and has to worry about too much. The key is that he wrote novels for the first pot of gold. Now he has enough capital and earns more money through business operations. He cannot take a lot of time to write novels.
So Duqi's plan is to hire a gunman.
The US copyright law clearly stipulates that as long as a relevant employment contract is signed, all works created by the employer within the scope of the contract shall belong to the employer.
To put it bluntly, Du Qi wrote a detailed outline, wrote a background setting, a summary of the main line and the main characters, etc. Then he hired a gunman to write, and the copyright of the work he wrote was still Du Qi's.
With many memories of the previous life, Duqi really has no shortage of "creative" in his mind.
Of course, the gunman should be given appropriate compensation. As for the possible disputes, Duqi is not worried at all. As long as the contract at the beginning is strict enough, even if he goes to court and has enough basis, he has the capital to afford to serve him, Duqi, who can afford to hire a top lawyer, cannot be the party that fails.
Now this idea is just a circle in Duqi's mind. Duqi needs to think carefully about what novel to write and what kind of gunmen to recruit. After all, every writer is good at writing different directions. If you are good at writing romance novels, if you ask him to write passionate adventure novels, it will definitely be a tragedy.
