Chapter 97: Surrounded by handsome men, at a loss

I chatted with Qixing for a while. Even though we were talking a lot of sexy words across the screen online, we became awkward after just a few words in real life.

Online: Baby, look at your legs.

Reality: Bro, just say something!

Social phobia online, social phobia in real life.

Well, how about we talk face to face on the phone?

I can't speak without emoticons...

Fortunately, the editor-in-chief of Qixing's editorial team and related staff soon came to entertain Chu Ze and discussed future cooperation and platinum contract issues.

As we all know, the writers at Qidian are divided into lv1-lv5, followed by long-contract authors, the Twelve Heavenly Kings, the Great God Contract, and the Platinum Contract.

Each level is a chasm for ordinary authors, not to mention the terrifying platinum masters at the top of the pyramid, who are rare in the entire Starting Point Continent.

Of course, with his current achievements in Doupo, Chu Ze is completely capable of getting a platinum book, directly achieving godhood, and signing a platinum contract.

However, compared to Bai Jin, Chu Ze is more concerned about the copyright of the book.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s platinum or not, only when you get the copyright can you be truly platinum.

The copyright is in my hands, so what if it’s not platinum?
Just like Tian Can Tu Dou has long since lost his platinum status and is now just a lv5 writer, but does this prevent me from being invincible below lv5 and killing people at will above lv5?
With just platinum, he can beat ten!

So regarding the issue of the platinum contract, Chu Ze feels that it is necessary to clarify the ownership of the copyright of the future works. Not to say that the copyright must be entirely in one's own hands, but at least the author must have absolute initiative in the copyright of his own book. Other conditions can be negotiated as appropriate.

The editor-in-chief obviously couldn't make a decision on such an important copyright issue. He just said that he would report it to his superiors and discuss it with Chu Ze later.

Chu Ze also asked about the progress of the adaptation of "Fights Break Sphere" after the copyright was sold. The editor-in-chief said that there is no news yet, but the other party's current plan is to adapt it into a TV series first. It is expected that the project may be approved this year, but it is hard to say when it will start filming.

When it comes to TV drama adaptations, Chu Zema's PTSD starts to kick in.

I originally thought that it would be adapted into an anime first. After all, fantasy novels can be better presented if adapted into animations. If a TV series is to be made well, the difficulty is relatively high. Not to mention anything else, first of all, there must be sufficient funds, otherwise special effects will be a challenge.

After all, if you really create a 5-cent special effect of a fighting spirit turning into a horse, it will really ruin the show.

Brother, your horse can't run as fast as mine!

After chatting for about an hour or two and finishing my talk with the editor-in-chief, I walked out of the office and saw that a lot of people had been squatting at the door of the office, observing me secretly.

As the most popular novelist at Qidian, as soon as the news that Chu Ze had come to Qidian spread within the company, many fans and curious employees within the company dropped their jobs and ran over to watch.

As soon as Chu Ze walked out, he heard an uproar around him, followed by a lot of chattering:
“Is this what sweet potatoes look like?”

"So young?"

"Not to mention he's pretty handsome."

"He's a little bit submissive, which is my type, hehe."

Hehehe, hehe, oh my god!
I should be happy when people compliment my looks, but why are they all grown men?
Where is the girl?
Don’t I have any female fans?

Why are they only recruiting people from Nantong?

"Teacher Digua, I'm your fan. Please sign an autograph for me."

"I want me too."

Soon, a group of male fans came up with pens and paper. Chu Ze was a little overwhelmed by being surrounded by handsome men. For the first time, he experienced the treatment of being a big star.

Fortunately, he had practiced signing in fancy styles at home, so he didn't get so timid when fans asked for his autograph for the first time and signed like a dog. But he practiced signing in advance because he was reborn. It's not like someone who has nothing and fantasizes about becoming famous with a book in the future, and then worries that his signature will be too ugly in the future, so he secretly practices on pages and pages of draft paper, right?

No way, right?

How can there be such a person? How stupid! Hahaha!
Chu Ze from his previous life shed tears.

Damn, this kind of dark history should be sealed in history forever.

I suggest that when God updates the version in the future, he can give his pig brain a black history recycling bin function, otherwise his brain will tremble every time he thinks about it!

I signed autographs for half a day, and even after I left the company gate, people kept coming over after hearing the news and wanted to see what the Tiancan Sweet Potato looked like.

Don’t your Qidian employees have to go to work? They are slacking off so openly…

After saying goodbye to his fans with a bright smile on his face, Chu Ze got into the car and the onlookers gradually dispersed.

It was also the first time that Chu Ze felt his influence. Although compared with big stars like Xia Anruo, his recognition among the public was not high and he did not have to worry about being recognized when walking on the street, but in places like the Qidian headquarters in the online literature circle, his popularity and recognition could be said to be no less than that of first-line stars.

After all, as long as you pay attention to online literature, even if you don’t read Doupo, it is hard not to have heard of such a dark horse that emerged in the online literature world this year. He suppressed all the great writers along the way, broke the subscription record in the online literature world in just half a year, and became a new writer who broke the circle and became popular on the entire network. Tian Can Di Gua.

Moreover, Chu Ze had never shown up before, so when he appeared for the first time, it was inevitable that so many people came to watch curiously.

Chu Ze didn't know how many names he had signed along the way. His hands were sore. If he had known earlier that he couldn't come up with a four-character pen name, he would have chosen a two-character pen name, which would have reduced the workload by half.

"I finally understand the pain you go through as a star." Chu Ze couldn't help but send a WeChat message to Xia Anruo in the car, expressing his empathy.

Soon, I received a reply from Xia Anruo:
"?"

Obviously, he didn't understand Chu Ze's incoherent words.

"You know what? I was signing autographs for fans at the Qidian headquarters just now, and my right hand is almost broken." Chu Ze explained.

"Why don't you switch to your left hand?"

"? Is this the crux of the matter?"

Is this what you focus on?

I said I kill people without blinking, and you ask me if my eyes are dry?
Apart from anything else, I can’t write with my left hand.

"Are you already in Shanghai?" Xia Anruo asked.

"Yes, I have to attend Qidian's annual meeting."

"I also happen to be attending the annual meeting."

"What a coincidence."

"Yeah, what a coincidence."

Over there, Xia Anruo put down her phone after sending this message in the hotel room.

Then there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

A young girl came in with a stack of documents:
"Teacher An Ruo, regarding the award ceremony for tomorrow's party, we need to confirm the process with you."

　Please help promote this book. Friends who like it can go and support it!
