Chapter 259 The Shura Field

This editor, Xiao Li, also brought good news.

First, there's the matter of publishing "Spicy Love Soup".

Although "Spicy Love Soup" is also a love story, it is different from the stories currently popular in the market.

Its language is witty and interesting, its plot is full of fun, and it always has all sorts of unexpected plot twists.

There are also many other phrases that have become commonplace for Jiang Jiani, but are still very novel and interesting to people of this era.

These differences allowed "Spicy Love Soup," the first work of a novice author, to carve out a bloody path in the romance novel market.

Actually, publishers had already inquired about publishing this book before it was even finished.

However, the price offered by the other party was too low. The editor-in-chief of "Fiction Monthly" was very optimistic about the book, so he used the excuse of asking the author to consider it, and then turned the matter down.

Towards the end, several publishing houses inquired about publishing the book.

Just then, Jiang Jianni also sent over her new draft.

The editor-in-chief worked hard to negotiate a high price.

Of course, another reason for being able to negotiate a high price is that someone has taken a liking to the book and wants to adapt it into a film.

That's right, someone wants to make "Spicy Love Soup" into a TV series.

Jiang Jianni was both surprised and delighted: "Really? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Li Aihong laughed and said, "Our editor-in-chief said to stretch them out first, so that they will give a higher price."

"You're one of our people, how can we let our own people suffer losses?"

Unlike "The Legend of the Gods: Aftermath," which was purchased by an individual, "Spicy Love Soup" was purchased by a television station.

They wanted to make a TV series specifically for young people, and coincidentally, a reader of "Spicy Love" worked at the station, so they recommended the book to their boss.

The leader thought it was good after reading it, especially since the book contained many memorable quotes, so he sent someone to discuss the copyright issue.

They're a provincial TV station, they have money, and the price they offered was pretty good.

Besides, adapting books from their own magazine for the screen would be a great form of publicity for the magazine. The editor-in-chief talked to them a bit more and, after getting a feel for their situation, finally agreed.

Jiang Jianni: "..."

The editor-in-chief did all the work, and even had someone knowledgeable review the contract to make sure there were no problems before letting Editor Li come to Jiang Jiani.

Since they're so sensible, what can Jiang Jiani say?

Of course, I'll sign it without hesitation!

Great, she'll soon have two books adapted for the screen.

After finishing his business, the younger editor, Li, couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Jiang, did you also submit articles to 'Fiction Monthly'?"

Editor Li glanced at Editor Xiao Li: "Teacher Jiang, you wrote 'The Sequel to Investiture of the Gods' and the recently completed 'Chronicles of the Goddesses' in 'Legend,' right?"

"Teacher Jiang, have you ever considered writing a story about immortals falling in love?"

Clearly, Editor Li did a much better job than Editor Xiao Li.

They did not stop paying attention to other peers just because their business scopes did not overlap.

After learning that Editor Li was an editor at "Legend," and considering the popular author surnamed Jiang whose work was serialized there recently, people easily guessed Jiang Jiani's pen name in "Legend."

Jiang Jianni: "..."

This is the first time in my life I've faced such a chaotic situation.

But isn't it normal for an author to have multiple aliases?

Mr. Lu Xun had more than 180 pseudonyms, so what did his readers say?

She's only created three pseudonyms, which is nothing compared to Lu Xun's achievements; it's just a drop in the ocean.

Editor Li was a decisive person. He also had Jiang Jiani's new book in his hand. After provoking Editor Li, he quickly took his leave.

She needed to hurry back to handle the follow-up matters.

Editor Li was much more familiar with Jiang Jiani. Being a young man, he felt quite aggrieved after learning that Jiang Jiani had started a new book business there.

"Teacher Jiang, we've finished both of these articles. When are you going to start writing your new book? Do you have any ideas yet?"

"If we're still stuck, how about we talk about it?"

"If I'm not good enough, there's always our editor-in-chief. Our editor-in-chief is much better than me."

Jiang Jianni: "..."

Good lad.

You're a man, after all.

Don't you know that men can't say no?

How can you so casually say that you can't do it?

But she really has no idea what to do about her new book right now.

Jiang Jianni felt that she had only average talent, otherwise she wouldn't have spent her past life writing trendy stories.

But she always felt that the values ​​presented in those popular novels were too problematic.

There was no motivation for her to write articles that followed the trend.

Well, it's probably also largely because she's not short of money right now.

Anyway, she couldn't think of any good ideas for the time being.

There was nothing else I could do but offer a half-hearted consolation to Editor Li: "You've written several books already, and you still have one left to finish. I'd like to take a break for a while."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely write it when I get inspiration."

"I have three children to raise."

Since she's already said that, there's nothing Xiao Li, the editor, can do.

Writing a book relies heavily on inspiration and talent; inspiration alone cannot produce a complete story, and talent alone cannot produce a good story.

Both are indispensable.

After Editor Li left, Jiang Jianni immediately jumped up and down, waving her fists and shouting "Yay!"

Let's be reasonable.

When she first started writing novels, all she thought about was that if someone took a liking to them, she could earn some money to improve her life.

As for publishing, film and television adaptations, comic book adaptations, etc., I've never even considered them.

After all, she wrote so many books in her previous life, but only one was adapted into a manga, none of which were published, and she could only watch others drool over any film or television adaptations.

Who would have thought that not only has it been published, but it has also been reprinted and adapted into film and television; there are already two of them.

Of course, Zheng Changming's case doesn't count.

Jiang Jian always thought that he was just a rich man passing the time when he was bored, and that it was just a hobby.

Although the event was quite large and formal, Jiang Jianni remained skeptical that it might not be able to be released.

I even felt deep down that there was basically no chance of it being released.

Even if a TV series is very well made, if it can't be broadcast, then making it is no different from making it for nothing; it's just self-indulgence.

Therefore, Jiang Jiani never had any real feelings.

Until now.

Only when the provincial television station wanted to buy her film and television rights to make a TV series did she finally have a sense of realism in the film and television production.

Even if the other party only paid 80,000 yuan for the copyright.

Hearing the commotion in the study, Lu's mother couldn't help but shake her head: "Young people, they really can't keep their composure."

It seems like they made quite a bit of money this time.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so excited.

Aunt Liu smiled longingly: "Xiao Jiang is very capable."

"I would be content if my child had half of Xiao Jiang's abilities in the future."

Aunt Li quickly replied, "I wouldn't dare ask them to have even half of Xiao Jiang's skills. As long as they can support themselves and their families without us old folks having to help them, that's enough."

Aunt Zhao: "Me too. I just hope they can take care of themselves. I don't dare to think too much about anything else."
