The days of retirement with the singing queen

Lu Anzhi clicked and took a look. The rich list of domestic writers was similar to the one he saw last year. He was still ranked third, and his ranking did not move forward or backward.

He couldn't help but wonder, and typed to ask Kuku: Is there any problem?

Kuku responded quickly, but did not answer him. He just asked: Boss B, why didn't you move forward in the ranking?

Lu Anzhi asked: Why should I go forward?

Kuku: Aren’t you Lu Anzhi? Then you must have a lot of income from ringtones, right? The first dozen or so are all your songs. I saw someone breaking the news that the top ten companies had an income of tens of millions in half a year. If you include the income from ringtones, why can't you be the first?

Lu Anzhi: Others don’t know that I am the Lu Anzhi who wrote the songs.

Kuku made an ellipsis, and then complained: "That's right." These netizens are so stupid that they couldn’t even guess this.

Lu Anzhi: I remember you didn’t guess it at first, right? I've admitted it to you and you still don't believe it.

Ku Ku made a sarcastic expression, and then asked angrily: Boss B, how much money did you make from the ringtone?

Then, as if he was afraid that Lu Anzhi would be dissatisfied, he quickly added: I'm just a little curious and asked randomly. Boss B, if you don't want to say it, there's no need to say it.

Lu Anzhi said: Guess.

Kuku did not dare to let go and guess: 100 million?

Kuku: It’s a bit less. It’s still 200 million, right?

Lu Anzhi: Who do you look down on? Feel free to guess too high.

Kuku: Ten billion?

Lu Anzhi:......

My editor-in-chief is really outrageous.

But I guess Kuku herself felt that she was quite outrageous, and then she made a mocking expression and said: Just kidding. Is there more than a billion, Boss B?

Lu Anzhi did not hide this usually reliable friend, and said directly: Yes.

Kuku:…

Kuku: Boss B, please let me slow down for a while.

Seeing his editor in charge fell silent, Lu Anzhi turned to look at Zhai Xiao's chat box.

Zhai Xiao, whose nickname is "Sunny Sky", went straight to the point in his message, saying: Teacher Lu, I have completed all the illustrations for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Next, I will start drawing comics. Is it okay with you?

Lu Anzhi replied directly: No problem.

Then he sent the scripts of the first few episodes of "Doraemon" and "Dragon Ball". He has slightly modified "Doraemon", weakening the historical background and focusing on the story.

After Zhai Xiao received his message, he quickly sent two more documents, saying: Teacher Lu, this is the content of the first episode of "Doraemon" and "Dragon Ball". I have refined them. Look. Take a look and tell me if there is anything inappropriate that needs to be modified.

Needless to say, the opening chapter of "Dragon" was used by Lu Anzhi and Zhai Xiao as a test draft at the beginning. After the trial draft was passed, Lu Anzhi also gave the script of the first episode of "Doraemon" to Zhai Xiao and asked Zhai Xiao to draw it.

Of course, in addition to the script of "Doraemon", the image of this fat blue robot cat is also indispensable.

Zhai Xiao paid great attention to both comics, and adjusted the style of the work according to the differences in the comics. The drawing styles of the two comics look very different. If you look at it from an uninformed perspective, you won’t be able to tell that both comics are written by the same person at the beginning.

Lu Anzhi carefully read the two chapters that he had already read at the beginning. After he felt that there were no problems, he said to Zhai Xiao: "Okay, there are no problems."

Then he asked Zhai Xiao a crucial question: If you were to draw two comics at the same time, you would probably not have enough energy, right? Have you made the choice?

Zhai Xiao had obviously thought about this issue and quickly typed a long paragraph to reply to Lu Anzhi.

Zhai Xiao wrote: I want to go the way of teacher. The scripts for both comics are so good that I don’t want to give them up. But if it can be confirmed that it will be serialized, with my current energy, I can only draw one of them. I plan to draw one of them first to try it out. If there is no problem, I can ask an assistant to help me then, and then free up my energy to work on the second one.

Lu Anzhi asked: Is it possible?

He had never been exposed to the comics industry in his previous life, but after reading some news about the comics industry and the work called "Dream Eater", he felt that drawing comics was actually a pretty cool thing. It seems very difficult for one person to serialize two comics at the same time.

But Zhai Xiao said: It's hard to say for others, but I should be fine. I draw comics very quickly, it's my talent.

Lu Anzhi couldn't help but laugh: You are quite confident.

Zhai Xiao: I have always been confident in the areas where I should be confident, and the areas where I am not confident are just unconfident - such as the script.

Lu Anzhi asked: "Have you thought about it? If it can be serialized, which comic will you start drawing first?"

Zhai Xiao: Think about it. I want to draw the beginnings of both comics and send them to the editor for review, and let the editor make the selection first. If only one cartoon passes, the one that passes first will be drawn first. But I think both comics are great and will definitely pass.

Lu Anzhi: What if they all pass?

Zhai Xiaodao: If everything passes, then I will choose "Dragon Ball".

Lu Anzhi was about to ask Zhai Xiao why he chose "Dragon Ball" first, when he saw that Zhai Xiao sent him the answer directly without waiting for him to ask.

Zhai Xiao said: Actually speaking, the beginning of "Doraemon" is more attractive. The Doraemon and its pockets are so interesting. People really want to see what kind of weird props it can come up with. Damn it. What kind of stories can these props unfold? But Dragon Ball starts off great too. And I can feel that "Dragon Ball" can have a great development curve, which is more suitable for a juvenile comic magazine. If it continues to be serialized successfully, it will have a great future.

Lu Anzhi didn't expect that Zhai Xiao had already predicted the future to this point, and immediately asked: Why do you think so?

Zhai Xiao replied: Because the script was written by you, Teacher Lu, I believe in Teacher Lu. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is really great, from the beginning to the end, it is so perfect. Teacher Lu, you are so awesome.

Lu Anzhi: If you give me a prize, please give me a prize.

In fact, it was Mr. Jin and his painstaking revisions over and over again that were so powerful. Lu Anzhi could make money in another world with these works, and he could also listen to others saying how great these works were, but whenever he heard others praising how great he was, he would There is a feeling of shame.

Zhai Xiao: Teacher Lu, you are so humble.

After saying this, he asked again: Teacher Lu, do you think my idea is okay?

Lu Anzhi: Okay, no problem.

Zhai Xiao seemed to have seen through it and said: Teacher Lu, you really have a complete plan for "Dragon Ball"!

Lu Anzhi made an ellipsis and said: That's right.

Then Zhai Xiao asked another question: By the way, Teacher Lu, I have another question - why is the Doraemon you designed called Doraemon?

Lu Anzhi looked at the screen and smiled. He didn't say much. He just said: Because this fat blue guy likes to eat Dorayaki from Sakura Country. Doraemon is the transliteration of "Tongluo" and "Amen" is Weimen's. Transliteration, so Doraemon is Doraemon, also known as Doraemon.

Zhai Xiao: I saw in your script that Doraemon loves to eat Dorayaki, but I didn’t expect the name to be related to this. Teacher Lu, do you also like to eat dorayaki?

Lu Anzhi: I don’t really like to eat it, so it’s better to eat pancakes and fruit.

Zhai Xiao: Then why is it named after Dorayaki?

Lu Anzhi explained casually: I just happened to eat a piece of Dorayaki while traveling in Sakura Country, and then I suddenly got inspiration and thought of this character. The name was decided.

He was talking randomly, but Zhai Xiao took the initiative to patch him up: Teacher Lu, there must be other things to think about, right? If we go by transliteration, "Dora" can also be the transliteration of English or Greek Dora. Dora means God's gift, so Doraemon is the guardian given to the bear by God?

Lu Anzhi didn't expect that Zhai Xiao's mind would spin so fast, and he sent a message in surprise: Do you even know this?

Zhai Xiao: I just know a little bit.

Zhai Xiao: In other words, is it better to be a guardian angel?

Lu Anzhi: It’s up to you. There is nothing wrong with Fatty Blue, the guardian angel. But our fat blue guy is a product of technology, not a magician.

Zhai Xiao: Haha!

After that, the two stopped talking, Zhai Xiao went to continue drawing comics, and Lu Anzhi cut to the chat box with Kuku.

Just when Lu Anzhi was chatting with Zhai Xiao, Kuku sent the message.

Lu Anzhi took a look and saw the message sent by Kuku: So... Boss B, you suddenly told me that you didn't want to write a book this year. Is it just because you made so much money?

Lu Anzhi admitted without hesitation: Yes.

Ku Ku must have been staring at the screen, and a string of exclamation points followed: Boss B, you can't do this!

Lu Anzhi: Why?

Kuku: You always have to have some dreams in life, it’s not good for you to do this!

Lu Anzhi: But my dream has come true...

…

In the editorial office under the maple tree, Kun Ku's face suddenly fell when he saw this sentence from Lu Anzhi. At this moment, she felt that what Lu Anzhi said was so reasonable that she had no way to refute it.

Put yourself in Lu Anzhi's shoes and think that if you were Lu Anzhi, you would make so much money at once, and you wouldn't even want to write the remaining chapters of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", so I would highlight one Ruined.

Just kidding, you’ve already made so much money, why should you work hard? ! If you put money in the bank, the interest alone will be enough to cover your own expenses. If you can do this, why don't you lie in bed every day? The computer is placed on the bed, and someone is hired to feed it!

Teacher Big B can update on time, which is an amazing perseverance for her.

But even so, Kuku still followed Lu Anzhi's words and asked: Boss B, what is your dream?

Although she couldn't do it herself, she very much hoped that Teacher Big B could be more detached.

Then she saw Lu Anzhi's reply: Sleep until you wake up naturally, and count money until your hands cramp.

Kuku:…

She felt that what Boss B said really made sense. Isn't this what my dream is like? But after all, I am much worse than Boss B. No matter how hard I dream, I can't think of such words.

Boss B is indeed Boss B!

I decided to give up beating around the bush and get straight to the point. I asked: Boss B, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will be serialized soon. When can I get the manuscript of the next book?

Lu Anzhi: I’m writing, don’t worry. Don't be impatient, just wait. Isn’t the stand-alone volume of “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” not yet available for sale? We have to wait for the release of the single volume of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", right?

Kuku: Yes. By the way, Boss B, I just have to ask you, do you plan to continue using the pen name Doraemon for the single volume of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", or will you use your real name?

Lu Anzhi: Just use your real name.

Thanks to his popularity in writing and singing songs and becoming the king of ringtones, his real name's popularity has also increased. It is difficult for those readers to ignore the three words "Lu Anzhi" that are so conspicuous. Therefore, there is no problem for Lu Anzhi to publish books under his real name now. After the previous book, readers now know that Doraemon’s real name is Lu Anzhi.

So Lu Anzhi simply changed his name and published the book. Thinking about a good "Legend of the Condor Heroes", if it doesn't have Mr. Jin's name on it, it would be too bad if it doesn't even have a normal pen name.

Therefore, if Doraemon can be used, don’t use it, and if the name Lu Anzhi should be used, use it.

Kuku: Good! Boss B, if nothing happens, I will hide. I'll go over some of the other manuscripts I have, and then I'll work on the publication of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" for you.

Lu Anzhi: I really have to ask you something. Don’t rush into diving yet.

Lu Anzhi: How is the overseas situation of "The Little Prince" and "Lu Anzhi Short Fairy Tales"?

The author's name of these two books in foreign countries is Lu Anzhi's real name, so the domestic "Dora B Dream Short Fairy Tales Collection" became "Lu Anzhi Short Fairy Tales Collection". Thinking of this, Lu Anzhi thought it was quite funny. Such names are used in China, but very domestic names are used abroad. They are just staggered so that both hatchbacks look a bit nondescript.

Kuku quickly replied: I almost forgot to mention Boss B. I was planning to tell you about it, but when I heard you say you made so much money, I was so shocked that I forgot about it.

Lu Anzhi: Sorry, I won’t tell you how much I will earn next time.

Kuku: Just tell me, Boss B, it’s okay, I can bear it. Although I didn’t earn it myself, I feel honored to be able to listen to it.

Lu Anzhi:......

Kuku: "The Little Prince" has become popular in several countries, and many people are buying it. Especially the English version, I even saw some official media recommending this book. There is also a band from a beautiful country that recently sang three songs and became very popular. They also recommend this book. But I didn’t pay much attention to it, I just heard about it. I don't listen to foreign music very much. Anyway, I feel that "The Little Prince" is more popular abroad than in China.

Lu Anzhi: Well, that’s good.

In this case, his writer name "Lu Anzhi" will also have a certain degree of popularity abroad. This laid a foundation for the subsequent publication of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

Sometimes some works don’t become popular as soon as they are released. Excellent works also need good publicity channels. When the work "Harry Potter" was just completed, it was rejected by many publishing houses. In the end, the wonderful world it built and its excellent quality were also key to its global popularity, but that was also inseparable from the publicity invested by Warner and the popularity of the movie.

Lu Anzhi is not even sure whether he can achieve very good results abroad after releasing "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" - of course, there will definitely be no problem at home. With his current reputation and the publication of books in China, many readers will even read it with their eyes closed.

He is even ready for the "Harry Potter" series to slowly ferment abroad and then be made into a movie to expand publicity and influence through movies and the like. Therefore, if someone will make this work by then, he will definitely check the quality of the work himself, just like the original author in the previous life.

And now, with the fame of "The Little Prince" on the way, the release of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" will surely go much smoother.

After finishing chatting with the bitter Qiuqiu, Lu Anzhi sat in front of the computer in a daze, thinking about these issues.

"what are you thinking about?"

Zhang Suxin saw that he had been sitting here, motionless and silent, so she came over and asked.

Lu Anzhi came back to his senses, turned around and took a look. Zhang Suxin leaned over and stood beside him, her black hair hanging down, and the tips of her hair fell on her face with her care.

Looking at Zhang Suxin's gentle and caring eyes, Lu Anzhi smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about my next book."

Zhang Suxin asked: "Didn't you say you don't want to work hard anymore?"

Lu Anzhi smiled and said: "You have to do something to cultivate your sentiment. Just like you write songs for yourself, I also have to have something to do. Otherwise, life will be too boring. And my next book has been brewing for a long time. Yes, it’s not like you don’t know.”

Zhang Suxin thought about it: "That's ha...ha..."

But she still couldn't remember the title of the book.

"Harry Potter."

Lu Anzhi said, "The first one is "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone."

Zhang Suxin nodded and said, "Well, keep going...but wait until tomorrow. It's so late today, so go to bed early. Don't stay up late and tire your body out."

Lu Anzhi stood up and said, "It's not too late now, I'm not too tired."

Zhang Suxin took two steps back: "What are you doing?"

Lu Anzhi smiled and said, "What do you think? Of course, I want to see if my body can be exhausted."

Zhang Suxin: "Humph...well..."

…

After a day's rest, Xianxian got up and started touring this brand-new villa, as if she thought it was a castle. Zhang Yuzhi and Miao Suqin went to work, and Lu Anzhi, Zhang Suxin and Song Xiaoqin all accompanied Xianxian.

"This is my parents' room, this is my grandma and grandpa's room, this is my sister's room, this...this..."

"This is Xianxian's room."

"Hmm, Xianxian's room, Xianxian's room is so beautiful!"

The little guy looked around the rooms one by one, and his eyes lit up when he saw a room with a cute layout and a pink theme.

This room was indeed the room prepared for her by Lu Anzhi and Zhang Suxin. The little guy always talks about the "pink princess" and likes pink. Therefore, when Lu Anzhi and Zhang Suxin communicated with the designer, they decided on a pink-based layout for this room, and then Let the designer match the soft furnishings.

Now it seems that the little guy really likes it. But no matter how much I like it, I can't live there now. The little guy has to grow up before he can sleep alone. Now, she would not dare to let her sleep alone.

After looking at all the rooms, they went to the basement.

Although it still needs to dry out a little more, it's okay to come down and stay for a while occasionally. As long as you don't stay here permanently or spend the night, I guess it won't have any impact.

The designer entrusted by Song Xiaoqin has completely installed the recording studio and home theater. The equipment, audio, TV, etc. were all purchased under Lu Anzhi's entrustment. However, the recording studio still lacks various musical instruments, and Lu Anzhi and the others need to buy them themselves.

After everyone briefly experienced the effects in the home theater for a while, they left to purchase musical instruments.

They originally planned to watch a movie, and in order to take care of Xianxian, they even chose a younger version of the animated movie, but unfortunately Xianxian didn't want to watch it after halfway through, so everyone simply stopped.

Anyway, this half of the movie is enough for them to experience the effect of home theater, and it feels pretty good.

"It feels so good to watch a movie alone at home! If I had known, I would have asked someone to install a home theater in my house! Lu Anzhi, you really know how to enjoy it. Why didn't I think of it before?"

After coming out of the basement, Song Xiaoqin sighed.

Zhang Suxin rolled her eyes at Song Xiaoqin and said, "Why are we watching a movie alone? Aren't we human beings?"

Song Xiaoqin said: "I didn't say anything!"

It took three days to purchase the musical instruments, transport them, place them, etc. In the past three days, a few people carefully selected, and Lu Anzhi bought many unconventional musical instruments, and then had people deliver them to his home, putting out what should be placed and putting away what should be collected.

Zhang Suxin and Song Xiaoqin saw that Lu Anzhi had acquired so many unorthodox musical instruments, and they didn't know what songs Lu Anzhi would use these instruments to record, but seeing that Lu Anzhi knew how to use them, they didn't question it.

This guy has endless ideas. Who knows what off-beat instrument he will use to make a jaw-dropping song one day? Let him be.

However, as a result, there was not enough room for the placement and storage of these instruments in the recording studio. Fortunately, Lu Anzhi was prepared in advance and placed two cabinets in the home theater to store the instruments.

Three days later, the recording studio was completely completed and ready for use. The three of them recorded several songs they had previously performed at the Guangzhou Paradise Rock Festival, but were not in a hurry to release them all.

They plan to release these songs slowly, and they will release one after a while.

All you need to do now is send one song first.

The three of them had a brief discussion and decided to release "I Am a Little Bird" first.

While singing the song, Lu Anzhi suddenly thought of something.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Suxin saw Lu Anzhi suddenly stunned and asked.

Lu Anzhidao: "I told you before that there is a band from a beautiful country. They recently sang three songs and promoted the book "The Little Prince". Do you think... could it be Fireflies?"
