Qiangzi was a little worried recently, not because of the lack of money, but because the authors under his management, especially Yang Yi, had achieved excellent results in the past few months, which also made his performance soar. Because of this, the leader also increased his salary and bonus.
His worry was not because he was urged to get married. Qiangzi was used to being urged by his family to go on blind dates and get married. However, during this time, his family did not care about him, so Qiangzi was free!
He was worried because of Yang Yi. This restless author usually could not find him, and he did not take care of his own book review section. However, every time he was found, nothing good would happen!
For example, this time, Yang Yi actually planned to open two books.
"You want to publish a new book?" Qiangzi was stunned and asked, "Why?"
Qiangzi still remembered Yang Yi's answer very clearly, "Because I have no money."
At that time, Qiangzi was in a bad mood … How could he say that he had no money in front of a poor person? Qiangzi clearly remembered Yang Yi's payment list last month, and the number on it was seven digits!
Of course, Qiangzi could not mock his own author. He could only persuade Yang Yi with a bitter smile, telling him that opening two books would affect the quality of the book, and earnestly persuade Yang Yi to give up the idea.
However, when he said these words, Qiangzi knew that it was useless.
Sure enough, how could he persuade Yang Yi when he decided on something? Moreover, Qiangzi was "persuaded" by Yang Yi.
Yang Yi did not talk much with Qiangzi on SNS at all. He directly sent a few drafts. After Qiangzi read them, he could not help but be addicted to the criminal world that Yang Yi had created.
"Is it good?" Wu Yubin from the technical department asked Qiangzi.
"Good!" Qiangzi added, "It's better than 'Remaining Sin'!"
"Is it that bad?" Wu Yubin asked in surprise.
"It's true. I feel that if I don't let Yang Yi write this novel, I'll be committing a crime!" When Qiangzi thought of the plot, he felt itchy in his heart. "So let him upload it quickly. I also want to catch up! No, I have to ask him to send me the rest of the plot first. I have to help him correct the mistakes … if there are any … "
Wu Yubin smiled and said, "Alright, then why are you looking for me? Don't tell me you want me to suffer as much as you do? "
"How could that be? Although I do want you to fall into my trap, haha! " Qiangzi explained, "It's like this. Yang Yi said that his book needs to be accompanied by illustrations, and he will draw the pictures. But now, we can't mix pictures in the published chapters on the website. See if there's anything you can do to help!"
"There's even an illustration?" Wu Yubin was surprised. "Could he be writing a light novel?"
"No, it's a crime novel. It's very serious. But there are some places that can't be described with words alone. Illustrations are needed to help convey some information. "Qiangzi said.
"So that's how it is. Did the managing editor and the others agree?" Wu Yubin asked. "It's not a big technical problem. Originally, there were some other examples on the forum that could give us some code that we can copy. It just needs some time to perfect and test it."
"Hu Da has already approved it!" Qiangzi said. "Is seven days enough? We're going to put it on the shelves on September 1st. It just so happens that we have more than a week to arrange for publicity. "
"No problem!" Wu Yubin nodded.
… …
"Fatty, come here quickly!"
Guo Ziyi, who was drinking water under the shade of a tree, heard the call. He quivered and quickly jumped up. His footsteps were hurried, and he trotted to the side of the young man who liked to have a pen in his ear.
"Brother Bin, hello! Director Ruan, hello! " Guo Ziyi said with a smile. His hands were not idle as he deftly took out a pack of good cigarettes and handed it to them.
Guo Ziyi did not smoke, but after mingling for a while, he still knew a lot of "routines". For example, he would buy two packs of cigarettes, one expensive and one cheap, and put them in his two pockets.
The middle-aged man in the straw hat that Guo Ziyi called Director Ruan was actually not on the list of directors. At most, he was an assistant director who only helped with some unimportant scenes. He was considered a disciple that Chen Fengchen had nurtured, but his ability was still lacking. Chen Fengchen still gave most of the supporting work to his assistant director.
But for the extras who had no contact with big directors, Director Ruan was the real big boss!
Director Ruan looked up at Guo Ziyi. He was quite satisfied with Guo Ziyi's comically fat appearance and said, "Big Bin just recommended you to me. Try this role. You have these two lines. 'General, the enemy is here' and 'I've lost my knife.' Take this script and read it. Remember the lines!"
There were lines?
This was the treatment of a special actor!
Guo Ziyi was delighted as he hurriedly thanked Director Ruan and Brother Da Bin. Director Ruan was busy. He waved his hand and asked Guo Ziyi and Big Bin to leave. He needed to clear the set for filming!
Big Bin walked a few steps and said to Guo Ziyi with deep meaning, "Fatty, when you become famous in the future, don't forget my help!"
"How can I forget?" Guo Ziyi smiled. "Big Bin, thank you so much for giving me this opportunity! Tonight, I'll treat you and Director Ruan to Zi Ran Village? "
Zi Ran Village was actually a barbecue stall. It wasn't considered high class, but it suited Guo Ziyi's background. Big Bin often went there, but it was always treated by extras.
Big Bin was very satisfied with Guo Ziyi's "tactfulness." He nodded and said, "Just treat me. Director Ruan doesn't care about this. Also, if you invite him to Zi Ran Village, he won't be interested."
After getting rid of Big Bin, Guo Ziyi couldn't wait to sit under the shade of the tree and carefully read the script.
Although he had mixed around with these extras for a few days and learned a lot of fake tricks, Guo Ziyi didn't forget his original intention. He wanted to be a big actor, a big star. He had to seize the opportunity and work hard to hone his acting skills!
"Xiao Guo seems to be rich!" A few of the village brothers who were close to him didn't dare to disturb Guo Ziyi and started to whisper.
"Should be. He even got the script. It should be a big role!"
"What big role? It's just a small extra with two lines." Guo Ziyi heard this and didn't pretend to be cold. Instead, he raised his head and smiled at his brothers as usual.
"If it has lines, it's not a small extra. It's a special actor!"
"That's right. It can earn us a few days' worth of money in a day!"
"But special actors don't get special actors every day. It's still more stable for us extras."
"Look at how useless you are …"
The village brothers didn't disturb Guo Ziyi anymore. They lowered their voices and continued to talk.
"Oh, right. Have you heard? It seems that the big director isn't around these few days. He handed everything over to the assistant director. That's why there are so many things with the surname Ruan!"
"Where did he go? Could it be that he was sick? Old people get sick easily. My dad … "
"Who said he's sick? Don't spread rumors. I heard that he's on a business trip and isn't filming. "
"How did you get the news so fast? You even know about the big director? "
"That's because I learned it from Xiao Guo. I have to learn how to eavesdrop. Those actors are always gossiping!" A short village brother with a thick accent mumbled, "You guys follow Xiao Guo all day. Why haven't you guys improved at all?"
"Yo, Geng Sha is so hardworking. I'm afraid you're going to be a special actor too!"
There were always people who didn't work hard and were always jealous of others …
