The King of Advertising

At 6:30 in the evening, Qiu Xu hosted a banquet for Mr. Lei Zhiyao, accompanied by Ou Yuan at the Four Seasons Square near the Shuntai Building.

The three of them sat down in the private room. As soon as the food was ordered, the impatient Lei Zhiyao asked, "Qiu Xu, is it possible that my two novels will be adapted and made into a movie?"

Qiu Xu did not answer the question, "Teacher Lei, "No Regrets Choice" is a military novel describing the growth of special forces."

"How did you choose this subject?"

Lei Zhiyao said with some complacency: "When I visited a student at home, I found his father had lost a leg."

"On inquiry, I learned that he is a special soldier and his leg was lost in an actual combat exercise."

""No Regrets Choice" was actually written using him as a life model."

He asked expectantly: "Qiu Xu, what do you think?"

"Is this novel touching, passionate, and exciting?"

Qiu Xu resisted the urge to roll his eyelids, pointed at Ou Yuan, and said, "Teacher Lei, Ou Yuan is a real veteran. He has been a soldier for six years and is still an elite scout."

"He also said that he basically participates in confrontation exercises of varying scale once or twice a year."

"He has watched "No Regrets Choice", let's listen to his opinions first."

Ou Yuan first looked at Qiu Xu, and then met Lei Zhiyao's gaze, and said with some embarrassment: "Teacher Lei, first of all, I have read half of the novel before I finish it."

"In this half, I still focus on military descriptions."

Ou Yuan paused, took another look at Qiu Xu, and then continued: "The description of life in the barracks is still objective and true."

"But when it comes to weapons, exercises, and combat, there have been many errors and misrepresentations."

"Especially fighting, the description is too exaggerated."

Ou Yuan said that he was good at it, his language was fluent, and his tone became more confident.

"Teacher Lei, the special forces are not so good at all. To tell you the truth, I have fought more than one special forces."

"In terms of unarmed combat, they are indeed better. It is still possible to beat two or three of us alone."

"But facing soldiers with modern weapons, can they still be one to five, or even one to ten?"

Ou Yuan shook his head, and said unconvinced: "How is this possible."

"Teacher Lei, let's put it this way, in the open field, the unarmed special forces face a ten-year-old child with a gun, and they can only escape for their lives."

Upon hearing this, Lei Zhiyao explained somewhat quizzically: "Since it is a novel, moderate artistic exaggeration is allowed."

Qiu Xu smiled lightly: "Teacher, in my opinion, your exaggeration is not good enough, and it has reached the level of brainlessness."

"However, I really want to treat it as a cool text. The large environmental renderings and psychological descriptions that pop up from time to time severely break the coolness of reading."

Lei Zhiyao's face was a bit ugly.

He was silent and asked directly: "Is there any film adaptation value in "No Regrets Choice"?"

Qiu Xu shook his head slowly and said: "My judgment is that the possibility of getting a film adaptation is relatively small."

"What about "Men Forty"?" Lei Zhiyao asked immediately.

Qiu Xu organized the language and said: "The first few chapters of the urban emotional novel "Men Forty", I think it is very good, the writing is very emotional, there is a sense of substitution and a sense of picture!"

Lei Zhiyao interrupted unceremoniously: "But..."

"Qiu Xu, we don't use it for falsification, just say it directly but it's fine."

Qiu Xu smiled and said: "After the heroine, the mixed-race beauty appears, the style of the novel will change."

"I feel like it was written by another person."

"The two like each other, it's kind of inexplicable."

"The male protagonist who has fallen into love again is nothing more than a forty-year-old man, but a hairy boy in his twenties...,"

"Stop, stop..."

Lei Zhiyao yelled Qiu Xu and said directly: "Just tell me, is it possible for "Men Forty" to be adapted for film and television?"

Seeing that the other party was dark, Qiu Xu said in a pragmatic manner: "In my personal judgment, the possibility... is still relatively small."

In the private room, fell into silence.

However, it was a bit heavy and quiet, and it was soon broken, and the waiter began to serve dishes.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qiu Xu said slowly: "Teacher, have you studied film and television scripts?"

Lei Zhiyao nodded gently.

Qiu Xu introduced: "Teacher, I want to ask you to do me a favor."

"I have a story in my mind, and it is also a story of a soldier. It tells the story of a somewhat silly rural guy from joining the army to growing up as a special soldier."

"I would like to ask you, teacher, to write this very detailed story of mine into a TV script of thirty episodes."

He went on to state his conditions, "The script, I am the first author, teacher, you are the second author, and Ou Yuan is a military consultant."

"Teacher, you can expand it into a novel based on this script. After the TV series is broadcast, it will be published and distributed while it is hot."

"The signature of the novel, you are the first author."

"Moreover, all the royalties belong to you, the teacher!"

Lei Zhiyao frowned and asked in confirmation: "Do you have a detailed storyline?"

Qiu Xu gave a hum and said, "I can provide a detailed outline of the plot."

Lei Zhiyao made a sharp cut and said, "You all have a detailed outline. Isn't this script a matter of hand?"

"This way of taking advantage of you is not something my teacher has to do."

"You can write this script by yourself or ask someone else to write it. I can't write it anyway."

He said angrily again: "Teacher, I have a literary dream, and I want to be famous, but I want to collect materials, conceive the plot, and write my own novel."

"Qiu Xu, your proposal is an insult to my pursuit and dream, do you know?"

Yes, I didn't think about it well. I wanted to pull the teacher, but I didn't expect it to hurt the sensitive heart of the teacher.

Qiu Xu laughed at once and apologized: "Teacher, it is mine. You should not tarnish your pursuit and dream."

During the next meal and chat, Qiu Xu mainly talked with Teacher Lei about some topics related to Qiu Ran, as well as some of his own development.

During the period, he also implicitly suggested Teacher Lei.

The first few chapters of "Men Forty" are really great. Later, when writing novels, you can write more about people and things around you.

This dinner is over in one hour.

Qiu Xu came home, only early eight o'clock in the evening, Qiu Ran had not yet returned home, and was eating at Aunt Hao's house.

He came to the bedroom, sat at the desk, turned on the computer, and recalled the "Soldier Assault" he had seen.

This TV series, he was familiar with before he was born again.

I haven't seen it ten times, but five or six times.

This memory, a person like Xu Sanduo, Chengcai, Shi Jin, Gaocheng, Yuan Lang and others, came to life in Qiu Xu's mind.

"Don't abandon, don't give up on Gangqi Company, just use my hand to reproduce a classic..."
