Chapter 369 Science Fiction

At the celebration banquet on Yuewen Novel Network, Chen Zhe experienced the feeling of becoming a star. Everyone present praised him very much. Some of these people were employees of Yuewen Novel Network. They admired him very much because of Chen Zhe's "Fighting the World", and some were viewers who survived in the wilderness. They were fans of Chen Zhe as early as when they were living on the deserted island.

Before he could reach his seat, Chen Zhe was surrounded by the people from Wuyang and Wuyang.

Zhu Yeqing, who was walking in front of him, was a little helpless, so he had to smile and said to everyone, "The celebration banquet is about to begin. Can you give in first? Let our heroes sit back in their seats, want to take pictures, leave a mobile phone number, etc.... Come again later! I promise Chen Zhe can't escape! Really!"

Chen Zhe also smiled and said, "Let's sit down first, don't affect the normal order of the celebration banquet. I'll come to visit everyone after the meal!"

After much persuasion, the onlookers around finally made way for Chen Zhe, and Chen Zhe finally walked to the front of the dining table.

Zhu Yeqing reserved a very front row seat for him. Not only was he the editor-in-chief, but also the leader of Yuewen Novel Network. The website's CEO and the president were all sitting here, and they were already in the seat at this time.

Seeing Chen Zhe, the leaders did not show off their airs, but smiled and said, "Chen Zhe, I finally saw you!"

"Chen Zhe, you are really talented! Not only do you write good songs, but you can also write novels!"

Zhu Yeqing quickly smiled and recommended to Chen Zhe: "Chen Zhe, this is the president of our website, Mr. Zhang Yuanzhi..."

Chen Zhe smiled and nodded: "Hello. Lucky."

Then Zhu Yeqing pointed to another leader: "This is the ceo of our website, Mr. Xue Chang."

"Hello, hello, I've been looking forward to it for a long time..." Chen Zhe said politely again.

The leaders smiled and nodded, and asked Chen Zhe to sit down quickly. Zhu Yeqing and his wife Qin Jia accompanied Chen Zhe from the left and right, and helped Chen Zhe introduce the rest of the people at the table from time to time.

The atmosphere of the entire celebration banquet was quite pleasant, and everyone was laughing, perhaps because the literati and poets were free and easy by nature. Although there were several leaders sitting at this table, there was no such thing as flattery, laughing and toasting. Several editors and leaders were intersecting equally, and the conversation seemed very natural.

After almost three rounds of wine, Zhu Yeqing's wife Qin Jia suddenly picked up the wine glass and toasted Chen Zhe with a glass of wine. Then she lowered her voice and pressed her ears and said, "Chen Zhe, I have something I want to ask you..."

When Chen Zhe heard this, he couldn't help but become curious and whispered: "Sister-in-law, please speak."

Qin Jia glanced at Zhu Yeqing carefully. Seeing Zhu Yeqing talking to other colleagues, she felt relieved and lowered her voice: "I know you are well-written online novels. "Fighting the Universe" is really a work of gods... I wonder if you have any knowledge of physical books? Are you interested in writing physical books?"

"Physical book?" Chen Zhe was confused when he heard it and couldn't help asking, "Sister-in-law, what do you want to do?"

Qin Jia was a little shy and bit her lip and said, "It's a bit inappropriate. You are working with my husband now. According to the rules, my sister-in-law shouldn't be thinking about you... But you are so talented, and my sister-in-law couldn't help but think..."

Chen Zhe suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you also want to cooperate with me, right?"

"Yeah!" Qin Jia blushed and admitted, "Sister-in-law really wants it! The main reason is that I have a project in my hand now that I need to create a science fiction novel. The length of the science fiction novel is not required to be too long. About 100,000 words is enough, but the conception must be clever and deep enough...

During this period, I have also come into contact with many writers, and they have also written some manuscripts for me, but to be honest, no manuscript can satisfy me..."

Speaking of this, Qin Jia gently held Chen Zhe's wrist and whispered: "Chen Zhe, can you help your sister-in-law?"

Chen Zhe thought about it and felt that this was nothing.

Anyway, the plot of "Fighting the World" is written by his predecessors, and it will not be thrown away even if it is kept in his mind. What's more, Qin Jia needs only a short story, which can be done in 100,000 words.

For him, it was nothing more than writing one or two more hours a day.

"I can consider agreeing to you, sister-in-law, but you have to tell me the requirements of this novel in detail." Chen Zhe said.

"Really? That's great!"

Qin Jia heard that Chen Zhe agreed and shivered happily. She hurriedly said,

"Actually it's very simple. As long as it is a science fiction novel, it's fine, but this science fiction should be hard-core, and don't involve too exaggerated elements like Star Wars. It's best to describe the state of human survival in the end of the world, so that it seems more profound.

In addition, the main profit of our physical novels is not only publishing, but also adapting film and television dramas. Therefore, you can try to rely on your novels in the direction of film and television, and strive to change them into movies and TV series in the future, which will bring you additional income."

"That's how..."

Chen Zhe understood as soon as he heard this, nodded and said,

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, this matter is for me."

In fact, since I heard that I wanted to write science fiction novels, Chen Zhe has already had a clue in his heart.

In the world before his rebirth, there were many excellent science fiction novels that could be moved to this world.

It just so happens that science fiction novels in this world are in a slump, and Chen Zhe can take the opportunity to awaken the science fiction literary world here.

Just as these two people were talking about it, Zhu Yeqing, who had been chatting with his colleagues before, came over.

"What are you two whispering? Let me listen too?"

The "conspiracy" was knocked out by his husband on the spot, and Qin Jia was scared into a cold sweat.

Chen Zhe had a calm expression and said bluntly: "Oh, I talked to my sister-in-law about cooperation. My sister-in-law said that not only you and me are the only ones who work together, but she also wants to work with me."

Zhu Yeqing understood as soon as he heard this. Obviously, Qin Jia had also told him about this before.

He looked at Qin Jia pretending to be angry and pointed at him, "Okay, okay, you actually came to dig my corner, and even my people were going to rob me!"

Qin Jia stuck out his tongue and said coquettishly: "What's the matter? I didn't poach Chen Zhe directly! Chen Zhe's book "Fighting the Universe" will still be serialized by you. I just asked Chen Zhe to write a short science fiction novel...

Don’t be so stingy! Besides, Chen Zhe agreed, even if you don’t agree, it’s useless!”

"Okay..." Zhu Yeqing had no choice but to shrugged helplessly, "Since you all have agreed, it's useless to say anything. But Chen Zhe, when writing science fiction novels, don't delay the update of "Fighting the Universe". Don't forget that you have 50,000 book fans waiting..."

"I know."

Chen Zhe said with a smile.

Qin Jiaze said happily: "Okay Chen Zhe, let's continue to discuss science fiction novels next!"

...

Taking advantage of the celebration banquet, Qin Jia and Chen Zhe made a successful appointment. The two left each other's mobile phone numbers and agreed to meet again after Chen Zhe finished writing the first draft.

Chen Zhe gave three days, and he promised that he would write the first draft of this science fiction novel in three days. Qin Jia never expected Chen Zhe to be so fast, so he happily agreed.

In fact, it doesn't take three days at all. Chen Zhe had already reserved a very suitable novel in his stomach. This novel is a best-selling masterpiece in another world, and the remake of the movie sets an astonishing sales record.

After returning home that night, Chen Zhe turned on the computer with alcohol, reopened a blank document, and typed the title of the new book-

"The Wandering Earth".

When his thoughts returned to another world, Chen Zhe easily retelled the outline of the story...

And on the other side.

Editor-in-chief Zhu Yeqing's home.

After the celebration banquet, the couple sat on the sofa in the living room and drank the sobering tonic soup.

"You are really brave enough to ask Chen Zhe for a draft. Chen Zhe is indeed very talented. I admit that, and the "Fighting Possessing the Universe" he wrote is indeed a best-selling masterpiece... But "Fighting Possessing the Universe" is only a little white article after all. There are essential differences between Xiaobai article and physical book publishing. Are you sure he can write a good physical book?" Zhu Yeqing asked with a smile.

"Of course, I have confidence in Chen Zhe." Qin Jia said with a smile, "I have been eyeing him since he created the song "Sorrowful". I haven't heard such a high-quality song in a long time..."

"But are you sure he can write a good science fiction article?" Zhu Yeqing asked again, "Of course I know that Chen Zhe is talented, and it is unquestionable that he is talented. However, writing science fiction articles is not enough to rely on talent alone.

Science fiction is a very special style of writing. It not only requires talent, but also certain professional knowledge. Especially the articles you need are hard science fiction... Without a certain amount of research, how can you write hard science fiction?"

"Well..." Qin Jia frowned when her husband said it, and couldn't help but sip her sober soup with her rosy lips.

"This is indeed a problem, and it is also the thing I worry most at the moment." She whispered, "but I am still willing to believe Chen Zhe. I think that since he dares to take on my job, he will definitely have a solution."

...

The next day.

Qin Jia came to his workplace - Ccheng People's Publishing House.

Early in the morning, she couldn't wait to share her good news with her colleagues.

"I met a very talented author yesterday and asked him to write the latest science fiction essay... I think he will definitely meet my requirements and write a best-selling masterpiece!"

Seeing Qin Jia looking confident, everyone asked curiously.

"Is that true? Which great god has Sister Qin hired?"

"Yes, Sister Qin, will you introduce us?"

"It seems that Sister Qin is very confident? Is this a science fiction veteran in the industry taking action?"

"Who is it? Come and tell us?"

Qin Jia smiled lightly and said, "The author I made an appointment with is a strange person... He can not only write novels, but also write songs. Have you heard of Shu Qian's very popular album, "Look at Me 72 Changes", which has been written by him recently..."

After hearing this, the other editors all had strange expressions.

What's going on?

I originally thought Qin Jia had hired a science fiction veteran to write, but why did it sound like she hired a cross-border author?

At this time, an editor said: "Wait, "Look at Me 72 Changes"? I have an impression that the lyrics and compositions of this album seem to be handled by one person, and that Chen Zhe, who participated in the Great Survival of the Wild, won the championship!"

"Yes, yes... it's Chen Zhe!" Another editor also said, "This Chen Zhe also wrote an online novel called "Fighting the Universe", which sold very well!"

The third editor looked at Qin Jia and asked with a laugh and cry: "Sister Qin, why didn't you invite Chen Zhe to write this science fiction essay?"

"What? Isn't it possible?" Qin Jia asked back, "I think Chen Zhe is very suitable. He is so talented, so there is definitely no problem."

Unexpectedly, after she said this, her colleagues all expressed their opposition.

An editor shook his head and said, "Sister Qin, you are just a fool. Chen Zhe is indeed talented, but he is talented in writing online novels. How could a person who writes online novels write good science fiction novels?"

"Yes, Sister Qin, I read Chen Zhe's article "Fighting the World". The language is dry and the character description is particularly stereotyped. The whole text has a superficial flavor. How can such an author write a good science fiction novel?" Another editor also said.

The third editor was even more sarcastic and complained: "Wait... Sister Qin, if I remember correctly, Chen Zhe's "Fighting the World" was brought out by your husband, right?

Your husband asked Chen Zhe to write online novels, and now you asked Chen Zhe to write science fiction novels. What does your family have to do with Chen Zhe? Why do you ask Chen Zhe to do everything?"

After hearing this, Qin Jia was both ashamed and angry, and couldn't help but blush and said, "Xiao Song, what are you talking about? I just took a fancy to Chen Zhe's talent and asked him to do it."

Editor Xiao Song shook his head and said, "Sister Qin, I see you were cheated by Chen Zhe this time. How could he write any science fiction novels? You are just making trouble..."

Just as he was arguing, the editor-in-chief of the editorial department came out of the office.

"I heard you quarrel early in the morning, why are you quarreling?" the editor-in-chief asked with a calm face.

Xiao Song immediately said: "Editor-in-chief, Sister Qin is so pissy. She actually found someone who wrote online novels to write the latest science fiction essay?"

"Online novel?" The editor-in-chief also sneered and scolded: "Qin Jia, how many times have I told you? Science fiction works are different from other works. This kind of work requires very high knowledge on the author and is not something that ordinary people can write... If you find an online novel to write science fiction essays, isn't this nonsense?!"

Qin Jia felt very aggrieved and explained: "But the editor-in-chief, this author is nothing else, he is..."

"I care who he is? If you don't have a little science fiction foundation, it will definitely not work!" The editor-in-chief said firmly, sighed after saying that, turned around and returned to the office.
