Zhang Guangzhen's alcohol tolerance is not very good. Song Foxiang spent a lot of money tonight and took out the good wine from his collection. The wine went through his throat smoothly and Zhang Guangzhen was drunk without realizing it.
Song Foxiang has a good alcohol tolerance, so even though Zhang Guangzhen was drunk, he was not.
After Zhang Guangzhen finished his comments on Song Chan with a thick tongue, he lay down on the table and soon began to snore.
After Zhang Guangzhen pierced several holes in Song Foxiang's heart, he, he actually fell asleep!
Song Foxiang was breathing heavily, and Editor Wan quickly put down his chopsticks and grabbed his friend:
"Old Song, calm down, you really have to calm down!"
Editor Wan still wanted to concentrate on eating peanuts, but Song Foxiang's face was red and his neck was angry. Editor Wan was afraid that Song Foxiang would beat up the drunk Zhang Guangzhen.
There’s no need!
Song Chan still has to participate in the competition, how can she beat up the judges now?
Besides, we are all educated people, and it is not appropriate to fight at every turn.
None of these words could calm Song Foxiang's emotions. Editor Wan rolled his eyes and said, "Old Song, you should be happy. Zhang Guang didn't know Xiaochan was your daughter, and he let Xiaochan enter the finals. This is a true recognition of Xiaochan's ability. I think Xiaochan herself will be very happy!"
A man who has a father but doesn't rely on him is a fool.
But if you can do things without relying on your father even though you have one, then you are truly talented.
Because he often went to the "Xinghuo" magazine to help, the editor was very clear about how popular the essay competition was. The fact that Song Chan was shortlisted for the finals and the selected manuscript was of higher quality than the New Concept Composition was a good thing. Song Foxiang was completely unaware of the whole process, and Song Chan relied entirely on herself!
It seems that Song Foxiang made the right decision to send Song Chan to study abroad.
The veins on Song Foxiang's neck had indeed relaxed, and his nose, which had been twisted by anger, returned to its original position. He brushed his long hair with his hand, feeling relieved and proud.
"How can my daughter, Song Foxiang, not be outstanding?"
"That's right, let me tell you something you may not like to hear. I think Xiaochan will definitely surpass me in the future!"
This is not something that people don’t like to hear. Editor Wan clearly found Song Foxiang’s weakness.
Except for a very small number of extremely bad parents, most parents would happily accept the fact that their children are more promising than themselves, so Song Foxiang was very happy.
While being happy, Song Foxiang couldn't help but think of Zhang Guangzhen's comment: Song Chan is not a talented type, Wen Ying is.
"Teenage Idol" sold over a million copies in just half a year. Wen Ying is undoubtedly a talented author.
Song Chan is not.
snort!
So what if it’s not?
Among the great writers who have written masterpieces that have been passed down through the ages, few have had smooth sailing in their creations. It is inevitable that those who became famous at a young age will lack successors. The only way to achieve success is to accumulate knowledge and then make a breakthrough!
After convincing himself, Song Foxiang became happy again from the bottom of his heart.
Song Foxiang has one advantage over many people: he is confident in himself and also in his daughter Song Chan.
Every time his self-confidence would be shattered when he met Wen Ying, but Song Foxiang would only worry about it for a while and do what he had to do afterwards. He would not transfer the mental pressure caused by this comparison to his daughter Song Chan. He never said to Song Chan, "You should learn from Wen Ying" or "You should be better than Wen Ying"... Song Foxiang always believed that Wen Ying was good, but Song Chan would not be bad either!
Because Zhang Guangzhen did not follow Song Foxiang's hint to praise Song Chan, but instead told the truth in front of Song Foxiang, after a drink, Song Foxiang's attitude towards Zhang Guangzhen visibly turned from enthusiastic to indifferent.
Zhang Guangzhen was still confused, but Wen Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Ying was not afraid that Song Foxiang would be cold, she was just worried that he would be too enthusiastic and that rumors would spread that he was trying to please the judges in order to get his daughter Song Chan into the finals!
Wen Ying wrote several beginnings for the Jiuding series but was never satisfied with them.
What kind of IP has the most development value? Wen Ying knows it better than anyone else with her foresight. She wants to build an IP world around the Jiuding series, and of course she has to consider the market reaction.
Too many concerns hindered Wen Ying's creativity, which is why she rejected several beginnings.
Because her creative work was not going well, she smiled less often. As Wen Ying's deskmate, Xie Qian was the first to notice the change in Wen Ying.
How can I be distracted while doing the test?
If it was Li Mengjiao or Wang Shuang, Xie Qian would give extra papers to the two poor students first. But since when, in the same situation, Xie Qian is always extra patient with Wen Ying - it's not that he won't give Wen Ying a paper, but he will give Wen Ying a chance to correct her mistakes before giving her the paper!
After learning the reason, Xie Qian was speechless.
"Just for this?"
Wen Ying weakly defended herself, "This is a huge deal! The Nine Cauldrons story is a series. Once I start writing, it won't be finished in two or three books. I'm going to spend the next few years on this series. It's hard to turn around. If the market doesn't respond well—"
“Why do you write a book? Just for market reaction?”
Xie Qian interrupted Wen Ying.
Wen Ying was stunned and subconsciously retorted: "Of course not! I write books because I enjoy writing."
After saying this, Wen Ying felt embarrassed.
Well, she is just an ordinary person after all, and everyone has a desire for gain and loss.
"Teenage Idol" had good sales results, and it was difficult for Wen Ying to create the series without any utilitarian motives.
Regardless of how much money can be made from the Jiuding series, every creator has a requirement for himself: the new work must be better than the old one.
If there is no progress and improvement, it’s better not to write!
Therefore, creation must take market reaction into consideration, but it cannot only consider market reaction.
If Wen Ying loses her original creative intention and only writes commercially for the purpose of building an IP, her "dream-chasing" life again will become extremely ridiculous.
Just to make money, why not do something else but write a book?
If you use the royalties you earn to speculate in real estate and wait for it to appreciate in value, you can rest easy for decades to come.
Wen Ying didn't do so, and she even temporarily gave up on buying a river-view house, which shows that she values chasing dreams more than enjoying herself... Her utilitarianism is not entirely for making money, there are more important things than making money. She wants to have her own business empire so much, which made her eager to achieve results at the beginning of creating the Jiuding series. It is normal not to write well with such great pressure, and it would be strange if she could write well!
"Then follow your own ideas and write whatever you want, and leave the rest to the professionals."
One should focus on creation, as the work is the only thing a writer can control.
How to operate the work after it is created should be left to professionals.
Xie Qian's words were so powerful that Wen Ying thought the professionals Xie Qian was referring to were Zou Weijun and Yuan Fenghui.
Zou Weijun will definitely be in charge of publishing, and film and television incubation cannot be separated from Yuan Fenghui and Tianjiao. Wen Ying basically agreed with Xie Qian's words and nodded unconsciously.
With this nod, the huge stone that was weighing on my heart was instantly lifted.
Little did they know that Xie Qian's confident words were not just to give Wen Ying spiritual encouragement. His words of encouragement were merely consolation. One must be truly responsible for what he said. After a month of repeated wrangling, the gambling agreement on the ownership of "Jiaxin Pictures" was finally signed between Xie Qian and Xie Jinghu.
Xie Qian is now the boss of "Jiaxin Films"!
