187 Live like Sha Wujin
Wu Jiajia knew that Sun Wuxin’s novel was so popular that she was holding “My Journey to the West” at this time.
But she didn't understand why Zhao Qingyin helped Sun Wu bring goods, and these two people couldn't fight!
"Did he really sell the copyright so soon?" Wu Jiajia frowned and murmured to herself.
However, in the next second, she immediately denied her idea.
"Impossible, he is not that stupid."
The reason why Wu Jiajia cares so much about this matter is not only personal interest, but more importantly, it is to complete the work.
"My Journey to the West" is a novel that is very suitable for film and television. Zhou Bai of Datang Media can see it, and naturally the Penguin Entertainment people can also see it.
If Sun Wu was still reading and writing books, they should have officially started the film and television planning of "My Journey to the West" at this moment.
It’s a pity that there is no if, so I have to let Wu Jiajia, the person who can talk to the author, be a middleman.
Wu Jiajia was not in a hurry before because Penguin Entertainment was behind her, and she was able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai with her back against this mountain.
But now she was a little panicked, for fear that Sun Wuli would be short-sighted and sold the copyright early on.
So just after nine o'clock the next morning, she called Sun Wu just to inquire about one thing.
When Wu Jiajia heard that all the copyrights of "My Journey to the West" were still in Sun Wu's hands, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then said in a friendly and familiar tone:
"Does Brother Sun have time these two days? I'll be an intermediary for you and introduce you to Director Cao of Penguin Entertainment. In this way, your novel will be much more convenient if you want to adapt it into TV series and movies in the future."
Penguin Entertainment is the undisputed boss of the domestic entertainment industry today, and what Wu Jiajia said is true.
Sun Wu also knew this, and he also understood why Wu Jiajia was so kind, but he didn't want to go to this Hongmen Banquet.
It wasn't because I was afraid, but I just didn't want to waste my time, so I said in a firm tone on the phone: "Sister Wu, I'm not in a hurry to sell the copyright now. Datang Media came to me before, but I refused."
When Wu Jiajia heard Sun Wu’s words, she also understood what he thought, and said with a smile: “Okay, let me know when you want to sell it.”
"Absolutely, I want to cooperate with you too." Sun Wu also laughed.
After hanging up the phone, the smile on his face became even better, and he finally laughed out loud.
“It feels so good to be the leader of the family!”
If he was still the author of reading some, Sun Wu knew that he would wait until they pretended to negotiate everything before he could call him to sign.
Bai Jingjing was also happy for her husband when she saw her happy appearance.
Today, Wang Tieniu also told Sun Wu that people can buy his novels directly from Xinhua Bookstore in the future.
With the popularity of "My Journey to the West", many troubles will be solved.
After all, no one will be unable to get along with money.
Throughout August, the hottest novel on Weibo was "My Journey to the West". After Zhao Qingyin, Tang Muxue, an actress who is also a four-star actress, also helped Sun Wu promote it for free.
Unlike Zhao Qingyin who took photos of life, she just excerpted a passage from Sha Wujin and wrote down her own feelings.
"When I first saw this passage, I suddenly laughed and thought to myself, 'Why is this author so humorous?' But after laughing, I was left with melancholy. Living like Sha Wujin may also be a kind of happiness."
Many people also want to cry when they see this passage in the book. Although a tragic thing can be said in the form of a joke, it is still sad in essence.
The book Sha Wujin is a problematic boy. His family is barely silly and his parents work hard to support him in school, but he does not understand his parents' hard work at all and chooses to live in school.
The goal of learning is to pass the exam, never take the initiative to do things, nor do you actively chat with others, don’t study or entertain in your spare time, just lie quietly on the desk and sleep quietly.
Teacher Tang Sen asked him: "Why don't you work hard?"
His answer was: "My parents got up early and worked hard all their lives in the dark, but still didn't make money. How could I repeat their tragedy? Even if I try my best to study and get into a good university, I will live like a donkey when I come out. It would be better to lie comfortably on the grass now and enjoy the blue sky, white clouds and gentle spring breeze."
In fact, some people have already discovered that "My Journey to the West" is not a simple romantic comedy novel, but their analysis is limited to a very small range.
However, after Tang Muxue posted this Weibo post, a large number of "Western scholars" suddenly emerged on the Internet.
The problem student of Sha Wujin is no longer an ordinary problem student. He is a microcosm of many people today.
When they find that they cannot change their lives through their own efforts, and they cannot enjoy their lives, they choose to live in a low-desire way.
Don't get married, don't buy a house.
On this day, "Living Like Sha Wujin" became a hot search on Weibo.
Sun Wu also saw Tang Muxue's Weibo post, couldn't help laughing, and then left a message below: "Thank you for reading so seriously."
Some people began to dig out other characters in the book, and then people suddenly realized. Aside from the elements of humor and love, "My Journey to the West" is actually a tragic novel.
As soon as he posted it, many people immediately left messages under his comments, mostly for him to make him lose his tears.
"I was very happy to watch it once. I watched it again for the second time today. I felt lost after watching it. As expected, the core of the comedy is a tragedy. The author wrote it so well. I look forward to the subsequent plot."
"Do you dare to tell me your address in January? I want to send you a blade and give you some candy, but it's just mixed in some sad elements to abuse readers."
"I'm looking forward to the ending. I want to see the Great Sage make a big fuss in the school and save Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujin. Although they are responsible for being funny in daily life, I know that tears are under their smiles."
"Sha Wujin is a poor person. I saw myself in him. In reality, I have chosen to lie flat. I hope that the author in the novel can let him come out with the help of the protagonist, regain hope, and pursue his true happiness."
In addition to these praises, there are also criticisms, believing that the author should not set Sha Wujin like this, and it does not conform to the mainstream social values at all.
There was even a vice dean of Aoki University who posted on Weibo and angrily scolded: "Sha Wujin's attitude towards life is irresponsible to society, irresponsible to parents, and irresponsible to himself. It is extremely shameful for young people to take him as an example."
However, not many people agreed with his ideas, but instead mocked him as Emperor Hui of Jin in the new era.
In the end, the vice president had to delete his Weibo.
After this release, the sales of "My Journey to the West" once again ushered in a counter-trend growth.
On September 13, the total sales of Sun Wuxin's novels exceeded one million copies.
When he announced this number on Weibo, readers of "My Journey to the West" felt that it was low, but industry writers were envious.
Chapter completed!
