But Lu Qingfeng insisted on paying.
Friendship is friendship, work is work, he makes a clear distinction between them.
Out of initial gratitude, Tao Zhaoting was indeed able to provide free help from the bottom of his heart.
But this kind of thing can happen once or twice, but not three times.
No matter how great the kindness is, it will be worn away.
Lu Qingfeng was also afraid that he would develop the habit of using morality to blackmail others.
This is a big taboo in interpersonal relationships.
What's more, Tao Zhaoting is a lawyer, and what he wants to do in the future will involve a large number of contracts.
Now that public and private matters are clearly distinguished, Tao Zhaoting will remember this favor in the future and will be able to help him wholeheartedly.
After all, judging from their current interactions, the young lawyer is not an ungrateful person.
This is much more reliable than him finding a random lawyer later.
"Ok."
Lu Qingfeng happily agreed.
Tao Zhaoting drove him to a Hui cuisine restaurant.
They ordered a few dishes and started chatting while waiting for them to be served.
Tao Zhaoting asked him.
"Your sister-in-law said you were accepted into the Chinese Department of Peking University. Do you plan to focus on literary creation in the future?"
Lu Qingfeng asked curiously.
"How did my sister-in-law know that I was admitted to Peking University?"
"Hi, she hasn't had much work lately, and besides taking care of the kids, she hasn't had much to do, so she went online and saw a lot of news about you."
"I heard he joined a fan group of yours, hanging out in it every day, having a lot of fun chatting."
Lu Qingfeng was stunned. He didn't expect that the people around him would become his fans.
However, Zhou Qianli, Tao Zhaoting's wife, probably thought it was mostly fun.
“Writing will be one of the main focuses.”
"Then you can always contact me if you have any questions about the copyright of your book in the future."
"Then I will have to trouble you, Brother Tao, often."
Lu Qingfeng picked up the teacup and toasted Tao Zhaoting with tea instead of wine.
"One more thing. You know your sister-in-law is a screenwriter. She's read your works, especially the fairy tales. She said your story 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' would be perfect for adaptation into a foreign film. She told you to hold on tight and not sell off part of the copyright so easily."
Tao Zhaoting said after drinking a sip of tea with him.
Lu Qingfeng nodded.
"I see. My editor told me a while ago that some cultural brokers wanted to buy out the foreign copyright of this book."
Tao Zhaoting said immediately.
"Don't sell it. If you know of overseas publishing channels, I can help you ask."
"Ok?"
Lu Qingfeng didn't expect to gain such a reward from a meal.
"I have several classmates working in overseas law firms. They sometimes handle clients from overseas publishing houses, so I have some acquaintances there."
It was a pleasant surprise, but he felt it was too early to focus on overseas markets.
He hasn't achieved much in the country yet, so if he talks about overseas, he might end up making trouble if he takes too big a step.
You can wait for now.
"Then when the time is right, please ask Brother Tao for me."
"Too polite."
After dinner, Tao Zhaoting sent him back to the apartment building.
After returning home, Lu Qingfeng took out his notebook, circled the words "Rong Shu Rong", and then wrote "Completed" next to them.
Then I sorted out the current planning progress.
Literary writing is still progressing steadily, and the first book should be published in September.
By then, he can truly be called a writer.
Because of his large number of short articles, he has also accumulated a certain literary reputation in the mainstream cultural circle.
This is quite important.
Taking ancient literati as an example, some of them are famous throughout the ages, while others are unknown.
The improvement of literary reputation is also a demonstration of personal influence. Without this, one cannot be called a writer.
The writing fields currently involved include fairy tales, mystery, science fiction, and youth.
There is a medium-length novel each of fairy tale and youth novel being serialized, and a long mystery novel is almost completed.
Will science fiction also have a long novel?
After thinking about it again and again, I decided to give up.
The pace is too fast and the market needs time to digest it.
Nowadays, few people buy books, and the constant release of new books is too much for the regular readership.
It is also easy to arouse suspicion from the outside world.
Short stories are easier to write, as they require less energy, but long stories like this are of different types.
Appearing at the same time, there is no shortage of claims of ghostwriting.
These are the only three books I will be working on this year. I will write some short stories later and then I can focus my work on music.
Lu Qingfeng wrote the four big words "Music Creation" on the notebook.
The explosive violin performance earlier has already attracted the attention of many people.
The original goals were accomplished brilliantly.
The next step is the most important one, the revelation of identity.
He needed to draw a perfect symbol for the finale of this event.
After all, being just a performer is not enough.
No matter how well you play a piece of music, it ultimately owes some of the credit to the efforts of your predecessors.
Because they composed the music well.
Therefore, he needs to add the identity of a composer on top of that of a performer to become an all-round musician.
In the mind of the nine-tailed fox, the memory bank naturally includes music.
Due to his previous lack of music theory and the terms of the contract, he was unable to produce it.
With the contract being terminated today, he is eager to try.
It's time to show your true strength.
The groundwork for violin composition has already been laid, so it is natural to follow this trend and come up with the corresponding music.
After comparing musicians from both worlds, he already had a goal in mind.
He wrote a name in the notebook.
When creating a song for the first time, even if it is pure music, you have to consider the popularity of the music and its acceptance by the public. In short, it must be easy to understand.
And this top composer in the previous life is a great god in the field of popular music.
His recorded instrumental albums have sold over 90 million copies worldwide.
Once you have a goal, you naturally need to consider the stage for presentation.
Lu Qingfeng wrote "Travel with the Wind" below
He has decided to record this program and he has studied it carefully beforehand.
As a reading program, but also a variety show, the program also needs to create some highlights.
In addition to the scenery along the way, there are also interesting activities between the guests and some small rules created by the program team.
The three permanent guests are all from the cultural circle, so the program team will often invite some flying guests to come and create new sparks with them.
The invited guests include celebrities from the entertainment industry, and some are not.
In order to let the audience get to know these people, the program will have some talent show-like segments.
For Lu Qingfeng, this was the opportunity he wanted.
