Chapter 7 Meet the Golden Hero
Chapter 7 Meeting the Golden Hero
As Shen Xin looked at it, he had long forgotten that he was an editor and was reviewing the manuscript. He had already regarded himself as a reader. History is wonderful, but because the records are too orthodox, many people are unwilling to read history. When "Ming Dynasty" "Those Things" incorporates the writing style of a novel, and it doesn't look so boring. It also has humor and language. In Hong Kong in 1982 when Internet buzzwords still existed, it was extremely amazing.
"Xiao Shen, what are you looking at? You're so fascinated that you're already off work, why don't you leave?"
A voice interrupted Shen Xin's reading.
"Have you gotten off work?" Shen Xin was confused. Then when he saw the speaker, he stood up immediately and said, "Chief Editor!"
"Yeah!" The man nodded and looked at the manuscript Shen Xin put aside.
"This is a submission sent two days ago! It writes about the history of the Ming Dynasty, but it doesn't seem to be history. It looks like a novel, but not like it! The writing is a bit unique!" Shen Xin said, and then organized the manuscript and handed it to him. Na Ming Pao editor-in-chief Dong Qiao.
"Oh? Really! Let me take a look first! Something that will make you so fascinated that you forget to get off work. It should be good!" Dong Qiao put the manuscript into his bag and then said, "After get off work!"
The next day, Dong Qiao looked haggard, but his eyes were full of excitement when he knocked on the door of Ming Pao boss Cha Liang Yongjin's office.
"Mr. Cha, take a look at this manuscript!" As soon as they met, Dong Qiao handed the manuscript to Jin Daxia, omitting even the polite words, and said hurriedly.
"Oh, what kind of manuscript makes you so eager!" Jin Daxia smiled and took it.
"It's a very peculiar manuscript, describing the history of the Ming Dynasty. It incorporates the writing style of a novel, the analysis of the characters' psychology, and some comments on the disputed economy at that time. The writing style is also very unique! If it is published, it will definitely attract the attention of the academic community!" Dong Qiao said.
"Oh!" Jin Daxia glanced at Dong Qiao with some surprise, and then immersed himself in reading the manuscript.
After an unknown amount of time, Daxia Jin looked up at Dong Qiao and said, "I want to meet this author!"
Meeting the author, Dong Qiao knew that Mr. Cha must agree with his point of view!
"I'll make arrangements right away!"
In the evening, after dinner, Zhang Yi returned to his room as usual and read the books he bought. During this period, as soon as Zhang Yi had money, he would go to the bookstall to buy books, even books from his sister Zhang Jing. He had read it over and over again.
"Brother, your phone number!"
While he was reading a book, Zhang Jing's voice came from outside the house. Zhang Yi put down the book and frowned. Only a few people knew his home phone number. As for who called, Zhang Yi didn't even think about it.
"Hello!"
"Hello! Is this Mr. Zhang Yi Zhang?"
"I am! You are?"
"I'm Shen Xin, editor of Ming Pao! I called during the day, but no one answered, so I called again at night. Sorry for intruding!"
"Sorry, no one is home during the day!" Zhang Yi said.
"Haha! It's okay! Mr. Zhang, are you free again tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow? What's going on? If it's about "Those Things About Tomorrow", we can talk about it on the phone!"
He had class tomorrow, and he didn't want to skip class. If his father found out, he would be beaten again! Although he didn't attend much class at school, he still had to go!
"Mr. Cha wants to meet you! Do you think you can take time to come to Mingpao tomorrow?"
"Mr. Cha? Master Jin! He wants to see me?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi was confused at first, and then realized that he was a little surprised.
"Um!"
"Okay! I'll go tomorrow afternoon!" Zhang Yi said immediately.
The next day, Zhang Yi stayed at school all morning, took a day off in the afternoon and went to the Ming Pao Building.
"Sir, what's the matter?"
"I'm looking for Mr. Cha!" Zhang Yi said calmly.
"Do you have an appointment?"
"Yes!" Zhang Yi's tone was still straightforward.
When the receptionist heard this, he was stunned at first. Apparently Zhang Yi's answer was beyond his expectation. Then, he showed a suspicious look.
"What's your name, sir?" Her good qualities made her suppress her doubts and asked immediately.
"Zhang Yi!"
"What! You are Zhang Yi!"
A shocked cry immediately came to mind. When Zhang Yi heard it, the voice was very familiar. It seemed to be the voice on the phone last night.
"Shen Xin, Mr. Shen?" Zhang Yi asked.
"You, you are really Zhang Yi, the author of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"!" Shen Xin looked at Zhang Yi, her eyes widened and she looked extremely shocked. He never thought that he would write "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" The author of "Er" is actually just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old student!
Zhang Yi was still wearing his school uniform at this time, so naturally you could tell at a glance that he was a student! Moreover, he was still a middle school student!
"I'm not Zhang Yi, why are you here? You think it's easy to ask for leave!" Zhang Yi held back his words. Zhang Yi was not surprised by Shen Xin's shock and disbelief!
I really want to grow up! Grow up quickly! Although, in the past two months, Zhang Yi has been practicing martial arts and has grown a lot in height, but he is only a little over 1.6 meters tall at most. With his immature face, he looks pretty. Not mature enough. Coupled with his school uniform, he really cannot be associated with the author of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".
Shen Xin took Zhang Yi to Daxia Jin's office and knocked on the door.
"Please come in!"
"Mr. Cha, editor-in-chief, Zhang, Mr. Zhang is here!" Shen Xin said to the two people in the room.
"Invite him in quickly!" Jin Daxia heard this and said quickly.
Shen Xin asked Zhang Yi in with a strange expression.
As soon as Zhang Yi entered the office, he looked over, then smiled and said: "Boy Zhang Yi, I have met Da Xia Jin, I have met this gentleman!"
As soon as Zhang Yi finished speaking, the entire office fell silent. Jin Daxia and Editor-in-Chief Dong were stunned. They looked at each other, then at Zhang Yi, then at Shen Xin, then at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Zhang Yi. .
"Please sit down! Please sit down! I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to be so young and a little out of his mind!" Jin Daxia realized what he was doing, and then he laughed awkwardly and said.
"understand!"
Zhang Yi smiled and said. Regarding the experience he had in those film companies, things have gotten much better. Looking at his appearance, it would be strange if he didn't doubt it! It would have been good if he didn't say it directly.
Doubt, definitely doubt! In the following conversation, Jin Daxia and Editor-in-Chief Dong were tempted intentionally or unintentionally. It could even be said to be a test. Fortunately, before writing "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", Zhang Yi had already put many I have learned the history of the Ming Dynasty by heart, and now I have almost understood it thoroughly.
Zhang Yi can even boast that he is now more real than the real author!
After Shen Xin brought Zhang Yi to the office, she retreated. But he did not leave. He had no answers to the doubts in his heart and had no intention of doing anything. He really wanted to know whether the person he brought here was really Original author?
And he stayed outside the office for a few hours. But when he saw Zhang Yi coming out with a contract, he was shocked! He naturally knew that signing the contract would prove that this person was "Ming Dynasty" The original author of "Those Things"!
Shen Xin watched Zhang Yi leave and couldn't help but walk closer to the office. But she heard the conversation inside.
"Mr. Cha, is his manuscript fee too high? Ni Kuang and others only pay this price! He is just a newcomer with no reputation!" Editor-in-chief Dong was a little confused. Jin Daxia, who has always been stingy with manuscript fees, actually gave him this price. He really couldn't understand such a high royalties.
"Sixteen years old, a student in Form 5, even though he was dropped one grade! Haha, he has studied the history of the Ming Dynasty so thoroughly! You and I are not as good as you!"
"Yes!" Editor-in-Chief Dong nodded. The conversation they had just had for a few hours not only eliminated all their doubts, but was also shocked by the boy's erudition. But this has nothing to do with the royalties!
"This boy is extremely intelligent, precocious, and extremely insightful! But after all, he is still young and is curious about too many things! It is inevitable that he will spend his mind on other aspects. If you give him more royalties, maybe he can put more thoughts on this aspect! What's more, His books are worth the price!”
Chapter completed!
