Chapter 170 Don't Guess the Girl's Mind(1/2)
As it turns out, probability theory makes sense.
When the front and back of the phone appeared at 21:20, Gu Yating put down her phone and lay flat on the bed, blinking her dark eyes, and ten playful toes fighting each other.
Some people are listening to music with headphones in the dormitory, which is so old.
She followed in a very low voice, "Sweet honey, you smiled sweetly..."
...
"Okay, laugh, Li Fan, you laugh, thank you."
On Tuesday, the plane had just landed, and fans saw Li Fan at a glance, taking a photo and putting together a bunch of photos.
Beside Li Fan, there were a bunch of heavyweights: Cui Yongnian, Zhuge Yun and other professors from the Beijing University of Beijing, as well as Sun Zhongyong, the editor-in-chief of Beijing Publishing House, and seven or eight others.
Li Fan was stranded in place, his smile on his face was almost froze, while the other group stood alone and whispered:
"Okay, this guy."
"Returning to Spring City, the tiger returns to the mountains and dragons enter the sea."
"Hey, when I was young, I was also very popular with a woman. Now, I am definitely a young man!"
Everyone wanted to curse "shamed", but when they saw that it was what the dean said, then forget it, you are also a young man now!
The purpose of the group to come to Chuncheng was naturally to visit Han Jie's house.
When the group knocked on the door of the Han family, Han Yu was shocked. No one knew this group except Li Fan.
"Everyone please come in."
Walking into the hall, Li Fan naturally acted as the introducer. He said to the Han family: "This is Mr. Cui Yongnian, Dean of the School of Literature of Peking University."
Korean Han Fei was stunned immediately. When they received a call from Kyoto University, they only knew that tonight, professors from Kyoto University and staff from Kyoto University Press would come to visit. Unexpectedly, the dean of Kyoto University Literature College came to the door in person.
Han Yu subconsciously rubbed his hands on his pants, then bowed and stretched out his hands to Cui Yongnian.
Li Fan continued, "This is Mr. Zhuge Yun, a famous prose master."
...
"This is Mr. Sun Zhongyong, deputy president of Jingda Publishing House."
...
After the introduction of the group, the small living room of the Han family was suddenly full of stars.
"The turquoise shines, the turquoise shines! Everyone, sit down, Xiaofei, watch the tea. Xiaoyu, go to the hotel to order food."
"Mrs. Han, don't have to worry. The purpose of our trip is to pay tribute to Mr. Han's past. Can we first visit Mr. Han's study and Mr. Han's manuscripts."
"You are kind, Dean, you can do whatever you want."
Almost all eight people squeezed the small study room, as if the Japanese entered the village. They flipped, their eyes were brighter, and they all rushed to dig a tomb.
During his lifetime, Han Jie was just an ordinary private enterprise accountant and loved writing. However, because his works were filled with a lot of vulgar and despised words and descriptions, his works were absurd and unruly, and he was abnormal, contrary to mainstream listed works and did not conform to the main theme. Therefore, although he submitted many times, he was ruthlessly rejected.
"Golden Age" is his masterpiece, and his works such as "Red Shoes", "Dog II's Story", and "Orange".
When Li Fan turned to "Red Shoes", he couldn't help but secretly admire that although this work is somewhat different from "Golden Age", it is also a classic work.
The group felt as if they had found a treasure, and they smiled while turning it open. Li Fan couldn't help but sigh: "Han is an outstanding novelist who was abandoned by the times."
Everyone agreed.
The manuscripts left by Han Jie were a few boxes, all of which were the achievements of his hard work for decades. It was unrealistic to finish them in a short time. Everyone scanned them all. When Korean took the dishes home from the restaurant, everyone left the study and came to the living room for dining.
The Han family naturally did not know the value of these boxes of manuscripts. As for the sentence "The outstanding novelist abandoned by the times", they were even more overjoyed and flattered.
A month ago, his family and neighbors and relatives commented on the death of Han Jie, who may be very fond of writing and forgetting to eat and sleep. But a month later, everything changed. Li Fan's sentence "An outstanding novelist abandoned by the times" gave Han Jie a high position in the coordinate system of the literary world.
Settle down and have a meal.
Cui Yongnian and the professors of Peking University naturally wanted to fully organize Han Jie's works, while Sun Zhongyong talked about publishing issues.
However, the exclusive copyright of "Golden Age" was sold to Gison Publishing House, with a two-year contract, and the copyright of other works was not signed out.
Li Fan was not interested in their chat content. He looked at the study while eating. After eating a few bites, he put down the bowls and chopsticks and plunged into the study.
He sat in front of the old-fashioned desk, gently stroked the Zhuhong desktop, and his thoughts flew.
After 40 years of writing, the works are not as popular as publishers. They suffer from setbacks and cannot get back half a cent of their income in writing. However, they still forget to eat and sleep and do not change their original intentions. What a strong interest and desire to express themselves are required to support them!
Li Fan took out a manuscript with "The Little Man" written on the bound cover. He just turned a few pages and took a look in Korean and walked in, pressing a very low voice:
"Li Fan, they want to take the manuscript away, should I agree?"
Li Fan looked at the professors who were drinking outside, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Brother Han, you actually asked me this question. I am with them."
"We can trust you. If you hadn't promoted the book on the show, this book would not have attracted the attention of the publisher so quickly. Besides, you are from Chuncheng and a public figure, we would have believed in you."
Li Fan whispered: "It doesn't matter, actually. These professors are not that shameless, and there are a group of people coming. But if you are worried, give them the copy and keep the original manuscript. I will come to the door at 12 o'clock in the evening and talk in detail."
...
After dinner, the group stood up and said goodbye. The Han family kept sending everyone outside the community before they could rest.
Dad Li didn't know where he got a second-hand domestic sedan and parked on the side of the road to wait for Li Fan.
Li Fan and his group parted, got in the car and said, "Dad, did we buy it?"
"I'm just buying it. My family still has foreign debts, so I borrowed it."
"I'll pay it back for you. If you don't have anything else, you're rich!!"
"If you have money, then hand it over!"
Li Fan thought to himself: Yes, now he is free from designing the "trick" process for confiscating his own property, and it is simple and crude!
"Dad, drive slowly," Li Fan turned around and saw them leaving by taxi, and said again, "Drive back."
"What are you doing?"
"I'll go to the Han family to explain something, and then you go home by yourself. I won't go back today."
"What about tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow is also a tough time, I may go back to the capital directly."
"You Prime Minister, have you been busy at home and not in? Besides, your sister is waiting for you to play with her at home. If I don't take you back, I should cry again."
Li Fan thought for a while, "That's true, I'll go home."
When Li Fan came to the door again, the Han family was indeed waiting for him. All the fresh fruits were washed, and the melons, fruits, peaches and peaches were of rich style. I guess I just bought them because I had never eaten them before.
Mrs. Han held Li Fan's hand and said, "Child, we treat you as our family. Do you know our feelings?"
Li Fan shook his head slightly.
Mrs. Han was very bitter and said that the difficulty of publishing books over the years was. In the end, in order to fulfill the wish of her husband, she published 1,000 copies at his own expense. The sales channels were run by her two children themselves, and many stores also regarded them as books. This feeling of being unsolved and not being valued and marginalized is tantamount to being pulled into a knife in her heart again and again.
But suddenly, in a show, a handsome guy talked about this book and praised it as "the most beautiful harvest in modern Chinese literary world." This feeling was like a timely help, which naturally made the Han family extremely happy and praised it as a noble person.
Therefore, the Han family trusted Li Fan very much.
Li Fan said: "Thank you for your trust in me. I will visit you again, so of course I will be here to relieve you. If you have any doubts, just say it."
Korean said: "Xiaofan, we especially want to know what the value of my father's manuscripts is. To be honest, our family doesn't understand literature very much. In society, there is no one else to evaluate except your public remarks and today's professors."
Li Fan thought carefully and said, "I have read fewer books by modern Chinese writers and cannot make comprehensive horizontal comparisons. However, I have read all the representative works of the eight masters of modern Chinese novels. After reading "The Golden Age", I personally feel that the ninth master appeared."
The Han family looked at each other and smiled, very happy.
Han Fei said: "What about our manuscript issues?"
Li Fan said: "I suggest giving it to the copy of the University of Beijing, which is a very normal phenomenon in the literary circle."
Korean: "What is my dad's work positioned in the literary world?"
Li Fan said affirmatively: "One unique, there is no other place!"
Korean: "Then how much should we get for royalties?"
Li Fan said: "The royalties for Chinese writers are generally between 8% and 12%, and the top writers can get 20%. I know this data, but how much you can get depends on your bargaining power. Oh, by the way, how much Giesen Publishing House gives you?"
"10%! Think about it now, it's so fucking little." Korean said angrily.
Li Fan couldn't answer this. "Golden Age" was officially published for the first time, and it was actually a normal price. After all, Han Jie and "Golden Age" were still in an unknown stage.
...
All the explanations were finished. Li Fan originally planned to plunge into the study and enjoy it, but when he thought that there was a cute sister waiting for him at home, he had to forget it.
I stayed at home all night. In the morning, Li Fan and the professors went back and witnessed the authorization agreement signed by the Han family. At the moment of writing, it was officially announced that all Han Jie's works will meet with everyone in a complete look in the future.
Everyone took the plane back to the capital. The moment Li Fan walked off the plane, he felt relieved of his burden and relieved his thoughts.
...
On the campus of Beijing University, the plants and trees shine brightly, and this is a good weather.
The first thing Li Fan did when he returned to Beijing University was to organize a lively friendship conference to help the bachelors.
He thought while walking, what interesting activities would be done? He had no thoughts.
