Being a director starts with fighting domestic violence

Even Lu Kaichen, who has been a writer for decades, was deeply attracted.

Lu Kaichen thought for a long time and recommended an old friend in Beijing to Gao You.

This old friend is also a magazine editor and is currently the editor of "Novel Literature Magazine".

"Novel Literature Magazine" is one of the magazines with the largest circulation in China, with two issues published each month.

The style of this magazine is also quite suitable for Gao You’s “Fantasy Dragon Universe”.

After Gao You got the phone number of editor Gu Donghua, he called him directly.

Gu Donghua was reading a manuscript when she suddenly received a call from an old friend. She was a little surprised.

I listened to Lu Kaichen’s introduction and recommendation.

Gu Donghua was a little curious.

Lu Kaichen never used his personal connections to recommend any new writers to her.

Unexpectedly, an exception is made now.

However, Lu Kaichen also said that he had not read the manuscript of this new writer, but just hoped that Gu Donghua would give him a chance and did not have to accept it.

Gu Donghua naturally knew the rules among old friends, so he readily agreed.

If it really doesn't work, Gu Donghua will definitely not accept it, as that would damage his own reputation.

Soon, Gu Donghua also received a call from Gao You, and the caller was actually a young girl with a very young voice.

The two chatted with each other for a few words, and when Gu Donghua heard the name, he found it quite fresh.

It feels like a fantasy novel.

Nowadays, in China, this type of popular novel is still a relatively new genre. Not many people write it, and not many people read it.

However, Gu Donghua still gave face to his old friend, and the two made an appointment to meet at a teahouse near the magazine in the afternoon.

Gao You arrived fifteen minutes early.

Gu Donghua also arrived on time, and she looked at Gao You a few times.

This young girl is really pretty and energetic.

After the two exchanged greetings, Gao You took out his manuscript and showed it to Gu Donghua.

Gu Donghua took the manuscript, put on his reading glasses and started reading.

First of all, Gu Donghua was quite satisfied with Gao You’s calligraphy. It was neat and well-structured, very good.

Gu Donghua is very experienced in reading manuscripts and reads them very quickly. He finished reading in just over an hour.

The novel tells the story of the Long family head, Director Long, and Dr. Long from three different time and space. After confirming that there is no way for them to return to their original time and space for the time being, they can only stay in the ancient tomb.

But the three people could not get out of the ancient tomb and had no way to solve the problem of food and drink.

However, I found that Long Wushuang could enter and exit freely.

So the three of them decided to take Long Wushuang as their apprentice and teach him their skills, so that Long Wushuang could find a way to solve their food and drink problems.

The head of the Long family is good at identifying antiques.

Director Long is good at restoring cultural relics.

Dr. Long is good at counterfeiting cultural relics.

Dr. Long first proposed to use a piece of wood to carve an ancient artifact called a "mobile phone" and let Long Wushuang take it out to sell, which made Director Long laugh.

After all, mobile phones were the most common daily necessities in their era.

Who would have known that in Dr. Long's time and space, it would have become an ancient artifact worthy of study.

The head of the Long family was very curious about this mobile phone.

Director Long explained to her what a mobile phone was.

After hearing this, the head of the Long family was deeply impressed. It turns out that mobile phones are so powerful.

You can contact the people you want to contact anytime and anywhere.

I wish they had this thing during the war years.

Perhaps she would be able to hear her daughter's voice before she died.

Perhaps, it can play a great role on the battlefield.

The novel has only been written up to this point.

Gu Donghua looked at Gao You with an unsatisfied look: "What about the rest? Did Long Wushuang sell Dr. Long's cell phone?"

Gu Donghua now looks like a reader who is following the updates.

"That's all I've written for now." Gao You was a little hungry, so he ordered a plate of pastries and started eating.

"Then why are you eating? Go back and write!" Gu Donghua said to himself.

Wasted over an hour here!

"Will that mobile phone really become something that everyone can afford in a few decades?" Gu Donghua is very interested in the collision of ideas in the three time and space in the novel.

Nowadays, only a few people can afford mobile phones.

For ordinary people, it is still too far away.

"It won't take decades, probably just another ten years or so," Gao You said.

Gu Donghua didn't know where Gao You got the confidence from, but he was sure that in ten years or so everyone would be able to afford it.

Nowadays, a mobile phone costs tens of thousands of yuan.

She only earns a few hundred yuan a month, and it would take her several years of saving even if she doesn't eat or drink to be able to afford this.

If everyone can afford it, then it must be in developed countries abroad.

“It’s really interesting. Dr. Long said that after they experienced the technological explosion, the world fell into apocalyptic chaos, and it took hundreds of years for the apocalypse to end.

In their time, the people, things and objects we have today have become ancient civilizations that require archaeological research. By that time, restoring ancient cultural relics has become a noble profession that is highly respected by people. "Gu Donghua said with emotion.

In the era of Patriarch Long, collecting and trading antiques was common.

During Director Long's time, the main focus was on restoration and protection of cultural relics.

By the time of Dr. Long, many ancient artifacts in private collections were lost or destroyed in the doomsday catastrophe. In the end, only some artifacts protected by the state survived.

Later generations can only get a glimpse of the cultural relics and history left behind by their predecessors from some surviving images and written records.

This warning effect is still very great.

What Gu Donghua laments most is that in this era, their cultural relics are being subjected to massive looting, destruction, and are being lost abroad through various illegal means.

She must adopt this novel!

"Then you have to work hard on your writing from now on, otherwise it will be fatal if you stop updating." Gu Donghua wanted to urge for updates desperately in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface.

"So has my manuscript been approved?" Gao You was still very happy.

"Basically, there are no problems. But there are a few places that need to be modified." Gu Donghua put forward several of his own opinions.

As a popular fantasy novel, "Fantasy Dragon Universe" is good in all aspects, especially the setting of multiple time and space travel, which is amazing.

Compared with those pure literature, it is a bit popular, but the purpose and setting of the novel are generally positive.

There are no major problems with Gao You's creation overall, except for some areas where it could be better.

Before Gao You left the teahouse, the two of them had agreed on the royalties.

The current manuscript fee is basically between thirty and one hundred per thousand words.

Gao You's first novel is expected to be around 300,000 words.

Gu Donghua and Gao You agreed on a tentative price of 50 yuan per thousand words.

The current royalties are still quite low.

Gao You calculated that for a book with 300,000 words, she would only make more than 10,000 yuan at most, and even less after paying taxes.

But in this era, it is not low.

After finishing the issue of publishing the novel, Gao You started to get busy with other things.

Gao Shuang's wedding dress is finally ready.
