After dreaming of getting rich, I dressed up as a collapsed idol

The original novel of "You Are the Apple of My Eye" is about 168,000 words long, a medium-to-long novel, covering the time period from junior high school to college, and then to adulthood entering society.

In addition to the male and female protagonists Ko Ching-teng and Shen Jiayi, there are many other characters with vivid personalities.

Such as Ko Ching-teng's close friends, Cao Guosheng, Xie Minghe, Xu Boxun, Shen Jiayi's best friend, husband, junior high school teachers, and principal.

Then, Ko Ching-teng's roommates in college were all well-known characters.

Of course, there will be some trade-offs when adapting it into a movie. Many plots will be deleted and some unimportant characters will not appear. The main clues still revolve around those youthful and ignorant feelings and passionate friendships.

This is also the biggest difference between this youth novel and stories of the same type.

In the previous life, the movie of the same name adapted from this book was also directed by the original author Giddens himself.

Perhaps it is for this reason that the author as director was able to grasp the essence of the novel, and the adapted film can be regarded as ceiling-level in this category.

Lu Qingfeng didn't know what the book would look like if someone else revised it.

But no matter what, this book came from him, and he didn't want it to be messed up.

So, I have no objection to making a guest appearance.

"The story over there is that he was one of Ko Ching-teng's college roommates, or maybe Shen Jiayi's husband."

When Zou Yanxi said this, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it because she hadn't read the novel.

But Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He knows better than anyone what the final plot of this book will be.

The scene of Shen Jiayi's final wedding was transformed from text into pictures. If it was filmed well, it would definitely become a classic youth film.

In previous lives, how many people saw this scene and remembered their first love, and were moved by the beauty that was never expressed or lost for various reasons.

But that was as an audience member. If you put yourself in the actor's shoes, the feeling wouldn't be so good.

"Tell them I can't act, just give me a role without any lines."

By doing this, the movie will definitely become a hot topic.

Although he didn't want the movie adapted from this book to flop, it wasn't something that would require him to make such a huge sacrifice.

Zou Yanxi didn't say anything. She wrote and drew on her notebook and continued to report the matters summarized in the past two days.

It mainly focuses on the literary world.

With the first best-selling publication and the continuous production of excellent stories, I received more and more commissions from major magazines.

Such as "Curiosity", "Little Reader" and "October Boy", which are also children's magazines.

Because his first published book was a fairy tale, and his short stories have been serialized in "Children's Literature" continuously, his identity as a fairy tale writer is currently the most recognized in the industry.

In recent times, many well-known fairy tale writers have frequently mentioned his short stories in public.

This is the "Wen Tong Literature" magazine building momentum for him, in preparation for "The Emperor's New Clothes" and "The Ugly Duckling" to participate in the National Excellent Children's Literature Award next year.

On the "Science Fiction World" side, the discussion that "Breathing" sparked among science fiction fans prompted the editor to urge him to write again and also asked if he had any ideas for a long serial.

"Mengya" is naturally busy with the launch of "You Are the Apple of My Eye".

On the "Years of Reasoning" side, the third phase of the essay contest has also come to an end.

Although October is just halfway through, there is a clear gap in the quality of the twelve novels in the last issue. The top three are leading by a large margin, and the rest are basically unable to catch up.

November is the final selection period, where the best of the best will be chosen.

The magazine is extremely optimistic about "Astrology Murder Magic", and editor Zhao Tantan has already started to follow up on finding a translator.

In the field of literature, when novels are published overseas, a good translator has a huge influence.

Due to the differences in languages ​​and writing systems between countries, accurately conveying the meaning of a text requires not only the translator's language skills, but also the cultural familiarity between the two countries.

Therefore, in the country, many popular foreign works have different translated versions.

This is also the case abroad.

Lu Qingfeng naturally had the Japanese version of "Astrology Murder Magic" in his mind.

But he has never learned Japanese, and it is too ridiculous and unrealistic to bring it out in his own name.

He said he was looking for someone to translate it, and he needed to rewrite the novel in Japanese himself, even though he didn't understand Japanese at all.

He couldn't believe the workload. After all, he had made some revisions to the novel, but the one in his knowledge base was the original version.

So, let professionals do this kind of thing.

Yang Xiuxiu is in charge of all these matters, but she will also summarize them for Lu Qingfeng to let him know the progress.

But now that he has Zou Yanxi as his assistant, she will take over and organize these things when he is busy.

"Please decline all the fairy tale invitations for me."

Our cooperation with Children's Literature has always been close, and we have always been willing to invest resources there, so there is no need to start from scratch.

"Science Fiction World told me I have a few short story ideas on hand, and I'll consider writing a long story after I finish them."

As for science fiction novels, Lu Qingfeng's previous idea was to compile a collection of short stories first and then publish a long novel.

"And one more thing."

After writing these down one by one, Zou Yanxi turned to the next page.

"Two companies want you to be their spokesperson."

"what?"

Lu Qingfeng was very surprised. Has his current fame reached the point where he has been approached by product endorsements?

He felt that there must be something fishy going on here.

"Well, a domestic skin care product company and an art training institution."

As Zou Yanxi spoke, she handed over the information in her notebook, which contained the brand information of the two companies.

The first skincare brand was somewhat unreliable. As an online brand, it was only sold online and had no offline physical stores.

That is the so-called Internet celebrity brand, which mainly relies on anchors to sell products and focuses on the concept of traditional Chinese skin care.

The other party was quite sincere and even sent us a rough plan.

The photos taken from the online movie in which he made a cameo appearance, combined with the other party's Chinese-style design product appearance, are indeed very high-end.

Lu Qingfeng probably came up with the idea of ​​asking him to be the spokesperson after someone from the company saw the movie.

After flipping through it again, he threw it aside.

In the planning proposal, there is a plan to let him sell goods in the live broadcast room.

It’s not that he dislikes live streaming, but selling goods is far from his personality.

Moreover, accepting this kind of endorsement at the early stage of development is no different from destroying one's own skills.

The second one is much more reliable and is a well-known youth art training institution in China.

It must be because of the popularity his identity as a violinist has generated online, as well as his achievements as a writer.

But there are too many pitfalls in the education and training industry, so it is better not to take this kind of job.

Therefore, Lu Qingfeng decisively chose to reject both of the endorsements that came to him.

However, he also understood one thing.

The outside world has already formed a certain impression of the personality he has created, and the recognition is very high.
