Chapter 475: The Desperate Cheng Xuyuan
One million US dollars!
Cheng Xuyuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
According to the exchange rate between Hong Kong currency and US dollars, this one million US dollars is six or seven million yuan! His assets finally exceeded one million US dollars.
After a slight shock, Cheng Xuyuan looked at Dong Cheng and said, "Editor-in-Chief Dong, I think I made the right choice to work with you."
Cheng Xuyuan can earn a million US dollars, so Dong Cheng and others naturally earn more.
So Dong Cheng said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng, I believe that our cooperation will be even closer in the future."
At this point, he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Cha has asked someone to open an account for you in Hong Kong, and your money has been deposited into the account on time."
"You can take it any time you like."
At this point, Dong Cheng whispered, "By the way, I'll give you your password and account number later."
Cheng Xuyuan patted Dong Cheng's hand and said nothing else.
In any case, Mr. Cha's arrangements this time made him feel much less worried.
After the two men finished talking about what they wanted to talk about, they walked out of the small room. At this time, Mr. Cha was having a very harmonious conversation with Shen Yunliang and others.
After Cheng Xuyuan came out, Mr. Cha waved at him and Dong Cheng and said, "Xuyuan, Mr. Dong, come here first."
Cheng Xuyuan and Dong Cheng walked over side by side. Mr. Cha smiled and said, "Xuyuan, I have been reading the novel you are updating, A Mortal's Journey to Immortality."
“At first, it felt a bit average.”
"But slowly, I began to feel a different taste."
"But your progress is a bit slow!"
After several discussions, Cheng Xuyuan decided to submit the manuscript to Wenhui Newspaper as "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality".
To date, this "Biography of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" has only about 600,000 words.
Although there are still many readers today, many people have reflected that the quality of this work is not as good as that of Zhu Xian.
There is no such kind of grudges and hatred as in Zhu Xian, and no such unforgettable love as in Zhu Xian.
Cheng Xuyuan had never thought that Mr. Cha was actually reading his book, A Mortal's Journey to Immortality. He smiled and said, "I've only just started this book."
Hearing this, Mr. Cha was stunned! When I write a novel, basically when it is 600,000 words, it is almost the end.
Your more than 600,000 words are just the beginning.
However, thinking back to what I had seen, in the realm division of immortal cultivation, it seemed that the highest level was Nascent Soul, and the protagonist had just established his foundation.
Qi training level nine, foundation building...
"How much are you going to write?" Mr. Cha hesitated and asked Cheng Xuyuan.
The conversation between the two naturally attracted many people.
People like Shen Yunliang naturally don’t know about Cheng Xuyuan’s story of a mortal’s journey to immortality, but for the locals of Hong Kong, they are very clear about it.
After all, the reputation that Zhu Xian brought to Cheng Xuyuan was really too great.
The TV series Zhu Xian is now on air, so many people have also started to follow The Mortal's Journey to Immortality.
At the beginning, many people felt that although the subject matter of Cheng Xuyuan's "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality" was extremely novel, in terms of the ups and downs of the story, it seemed not as good as "Zhu Xian".
However, as the story of a mortal's journey to immortality unfolded, many people had already become fascinated by it.
But what no one expected was that he was just the beginning.
Cheng Xuyuan stretched out a finger! Looking at Cheng Xuyuan's finger, Mr. Cha asked tentatively: "One million words?"
One million words is already a considerable number. Mr. Cha’s longest novel is about the same length.
Cheng Xuyuan shook his head and said, "Multiply it by ten!"
Ten million words! Not only Mr. Cha, but also the others around Cheng Xuyuan looked at Cheng Xuyuan with strange eyes.
They all felt that Cheng Xuyuan was simply insane.
You wrote 10 million words in a novel. Are you crazy? How can you find a novel that long?
"Xuyuan, you want Wenhui Newspaper to give you two million yuan in royalties!" Mr. Cha said in disbelief, "But can you really write such a long article?"
"Sir, you have also read The Legend of Swordsmen from Shu Mountain. Huanzhu Louzhu was able to write 5 million words, so why can't I write 10 million words?" Cheng Xuyuan said casually.
Hearing this, Mr. Cha nodded slightly.
The others present looked at Cheng Xuyuan with dull eyes. After all, a novel of 10 million words was really too long.
But this person is Cheng Xuyuan, so I have to believe it.
After all, his "Biography of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" has already reached more than 600,000 words.
"Xuyuan, Wenhui Newspaper, I don't know whether to cry or laugh. Your article costs 200 yuan for every 1,000 words. Ten million words is 2 million!" Dong Cheng stood beside Cheng Xuyuan and said with emotion.
Originally, Shen Yunliang and others standing next to Cheng Xuyuan were still lamenting that Cheng Xuyuan had written too much in the novel.
But when they heard the words two million, they were a little numb! Two million yuan, although they all knew that in Hong Kong, the currency used was Hong Kong's, but even so, it was still a considerable sum! After all, this was two million yuan! Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "If they don't want to serialize it for me, I'll find you, old boss, and I'll also raise the price."
When Dong Cheng heard Cheng Xuyuan's words, the joking expression on his face disappeared immediately. He said solemnly: "Xuyuan, if Wenhui Newspaper really doesn't want to publish your novel, you can come to me."
"I can promise that we will serialize it at the original price."
At this point, he looked at Mr. Cha. Mr. Cha smiled even brighter and said, "You are the editor-in-chief, you have the final say on this matter."
"But I have confidence in Xuyuan's novel. If Wenhui News thinks it's too long, we can raise the price."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Mr. Cha, thank you in advance."
Thanks to Mr. Cha's warm hospitality, both the guests and the hosts had a great time at this reception.
After returning to the hotel, Cheng Xuyuan was just about to take a break and continue writing something when he heard a knock on the door.
When Cheng Xuyuan opened the door, he saw Shen Yunliang standing outside.
Although Cheng Xuyuan and Shen Yumo are divorced now, in fact, because they have a child, Cheng Xuyuan is really afraid of Shen Yunliang.
It can even be said that he had a feeling of fear towards Shen Yunliang in his heart.
It's like a guilty conscience.
"Uncle Shen, do you have anything to say?" Cheng Xuyuan asked Shen Yunliang.
Shen Yunliang looked at Cheng Xuyuan, who seemed a little panicked, and an inexplicable thought arose in his mind, that is, Cheng Xuyuan at this moment seemed a little afraid of him.
Why is he afraid of me? I don't eat humans.
This kid, how could he still be a little immature! "Ah, today I talked to Mr. Cha about the publication of his work, and Mr. Cha was very interested." Shen Yunliang was immediately excited when he talked about business.
He knew very well that as long as he could accomplish this task, it would be a great achievement for him!
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Uncle Shen, I don't think this matter will be difficult for you."
"I believe that it won't be long before everything falls into place."
After Shen Yunliang talked about what to do next, he suddenly said to Cheng Xuyuan: "Xuyuan, I know that some of the things I said seem to be nosy, but I think that according to the relationship between us, I still have to talk to you."
Hearing Shen Yunliang say this, Cheng Xuyuan's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Uncle Shen already knew about this? Then...
Cheng Xuyuan, feeling guilty, quickly said modestly: "Uncle Shen, I always think of you as my elder."
"If I do anything wrong, feel free to criticize me."
"You criticize me because it's for my own good, so that I won't go astray."
Cheng Xuyuan's words were extremely sincere. Shen Yunliang felt relieved when he saw Cheng Xuyuan's expression, which did not seem fake.
He was about to say these words to Cheng Xuyuan, and in fact he decided to say them after careful consideration.
After all, given Cheng Xuyuan's current status, if he said something inappropriate, it would very likely make the relationship between the two become strained.
He didn't want to do this.
But there are some things he feels that he should still remind Cheng Xuyuan to prevent him from taking the wrong path.
"Xuyuan, I know you are very talented in writing, but I think you should be more focused in what you do."
As soon as Shen Yunliang said this, Cheng Xuyuan breathed a sigh of relief. In his opinion, no matter what Shen Yunliang said to him at this moment, he could accept it.
As long as I don't talk to him about Shen Yumo's pregnancy.
"I know that the royalties in Hong Kong are high, and that fairy tales and martial arts novels are more popular, but when it comes to your future development, traditional literature is more important."
"Although you have written a lot of novels this year, including masterpieces like Soldiers Assault, I feel that your focus is a bit biased."
"Especially that long fairy tale novel, it really takes up too much of your energy."
Looking at Shen Yunliang's serious expression, Cheng Xuyuan knew that this was really for his own good.
Otherwise, no one would tell him this.
He pondered for a moment, then said to Shen Yunliang solemnly: "Uncle Shen, thank you for your advice. I will definitely coordinate the time for the two."
"And, as you said, I will focus my main energy on the direction that is beneficial to the development of my career."
"Don't worry."
Shen Yunliang originally thought that he would have to waste a lot of time and effort to convince Cheng Xuyuan.
But I didn't expect that this child would be so receptive to advice. He expressed his opinion as soon as I finished speaking.
This immediately made him feel much better.
"Xuyuan, if you can tell the difference, I don't have to worry about it." Shen Yunliang said with a smile: "I think that according to your ability, your future achievements will definitely not be inferior to your teacher."
"Try your best."
After Cheng Xuyuan expressed his gratitude, Shen Yunliang left Cheng Xuyuan's residence.
As Shen Yunliang left, Cheng Xuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, but another thought arose in his mind, that is, they would have to return soon. What should he do if Shen Yunliang wanted to go to Donghai to see Shen Yumo again?
Can you still hide away?
