This man knows how to hype

Chapter 422 Tickle You
Xu Xiyu returned to Beijing.

The Li sisters' hearts also followed him.

Some things are like shopping online for a product you’ve been dreaming of. It’s okay if you haven’t placed the order, but once you’ve placed the order, you’ll inevitably look forward to the day when you open the package.

But for Xu Xiyu, some things are like a routine physical examination. The report is most likely fine, but he will inevitably worry about what problems will be found during the examination.

Nowadays, there are many people who hate him for being alive. After all, he climbed up by stepping on a bunch of "corpses" of his enemies, and maybe someone is waiting to plot against him.

This is not something that can be avoided just by being smart or not.

Just like Mao Gaojun, he would never have thought that he would inexplicably fall into the hands of a man like Bu Zhaojie.

Therefore, Xu Xiyu had no choice but to be careful.

What if?
Who can withstand the power of short essays and T0?
I don’t want to meet Mr. Mao again. I’m stuck in prison, sewing on a sewing machine.

Of course, he also knew that there was probably nothing wrong with the Li sisters. They were just like many female artists, simply looking for a "financial sponsor" to protect them.

In other words, this is actually a relationship with unspoken rules.

Xu Xiyu is a sea king, so he won’t build any memorial archways for himself.

But to be honest, that night it seemed like Xu Xiyu was taking advantage of them, but in fact it was them who were taking advantage of Xu Xiyu.

People who are not in this circle may not understand the subtleties.

To put it simply, today, it is much more difficult for a pair of sisters to get close to Xu Xiyu than it is for him to get a pair of sisters.

The Li sisters seem to be a "scarce resource", but in the entertainment industry, Xu Xiyu is the real "scarce resource".

You think Xu Xiyu is hunting for beauties, but in fact, for a long time, he is the "beauty".

Of course, Xu Xiyu was not so rational when facing this situation. He even analyzed who was more scarce. Isn't this crazy?
He was simply fed up with this kind of forced start.

This relationship shouldn't be something they want and then you have to agree to it. Instead, you should start it whenever you want it, and you should have the initiative.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu, who had already returned to Hua Qing's office, crossed his hands on the back of his head, leaned back, and was about to put his feet on the desk to take a nap when he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in." He called out after sitting back down.

"Boss, Ms. Wei is here." Shan Xinbao poked his head in.

As soon as she finished speaking, Hu Ningwei walked in with a paper bag in her hand, and said excitedly, "Come on, let me show you something good."

"What good stuff?" Seeing the youthful Hu Ningwei, Xu Xiyu couldn't help but smile. He stood up from his office and walked to the sofa.

"Open it and take a look." Hu Ningwei handed over the paper bag in her hand.

Xu Xiyu took it and looked at it. It was a white paper with two titles on the cover, one main title and one secondary title, namely "Remembrance of Earth's Past" and "The Three-body Problem".

When I opened it, I saw that the content was full of English.

"How is it? Are you surprised?" Hu Ningwei looked at Xu Xiyu with anticipation.

Seeing this, Xu Xiyu deliberately asked, "What is this?"

"..." As soon as these words came out, Hu Ningwei's expectant expression froze instantly.

She couldn't believe that Xu Xiyu couldn't tell what it was? Seeing "Three-body", you can guess that this is the English version of "The Three-Body Problem", right?

Seeing that she was dumbfounded, Xu Xiyu finally couldn't hold it back anymore and burst into laughter.

Now Hu Ningwei realized that she was being teased by this guy again.

So, she snatched the book back in shame and anger, hugged it in her arms, turned around, stamped her feet and said, "I won't let you read it! Humph~~"

She twisted her body with great force, causing her skirt and hair to swing.

Xu Xiyu's heart was inexplicably shaken by what he saw.

He walked around to the front of Hu Ningwei, bent his waist slightly, and leaned his head to stare at the book she was holding in her arms, muttering, "Remembrance of Earth's Past, the first part, right?"

Xu Xiyu's English accent is very strange, but Hu Ningwei has no time to care.

Because she always felt that Xu Xiyu's eyes were not on the book cover, but on the part of her body that was bulging due to the action of holding the book.

This made her feel a little shy, and she unconsciously moved the book upwards, hoping to cover it with the book.

However, Xu Xiyu was indeed reading the book cover, so he did not notice Hu Ningwei's little move. Seeing that she hugged the book tighter, Xu Xiyu instinctively coaxed her: "Okay, I was wrong, let me see it."

To be honest, Xu Xiyu could swear to heaven that when he said "let me see it", he was referring to the book.

But when Hu Ningwei heard the words "Let me see", she inexplicably thought of something wrong.

Not only did she have the wrong idea, she also inexplicably moved the book that was originally covering her chest down.

At this moment, Xu Xiyu finally reacted. He straightened up suddenly and looked at Hu Ningwei's slightly drooping face and slightly red ears. He felt that he was more wronged than Dou E.

"No, I was talking about the book." Xu Xiyu complained.

"Ah? Oh, hey! I know you mean the book!" Hu Ningwei shyly began to make up for it instinctively. After making up for it, she slapped the book into Xu Xiyu's hand, turned around, found a chair to sit down, and began to pretend to play with her phone.

Seeing this, Xu Xiyu looked at the book in his hand, then looked at Hu Ningwei who was sitting there playing with her mobile phone, and suddenly felt a little amused.

A few minutes later, Xu Xiyu, who was flipping through a book, walked over to Hu Ningwei and said, "My English is very limited. I heard from your brother that you were taught in three languages ​​since you were a child, and you are proficient in English and French. Can you translate for me?"

"No translation, are you angry? This manuscript has just been printed and is still hot. I hurriedly brought it to you. You just know how to tease me." Hu Ningwei put away her phone and turned her head away with a puffy face. However, the next second, she felt an itch between her ribs. It turned out that Xu Xiyu was tickling her. While tickling, he smiled and said, "Then I'll deflate it for you."

"Oh, I hate you so much~~Haha, stop it, it's so itchy~~" Hu Ningwei laughed and jumped while being tickled. She dodged while thinking about tickling back.

The book also fell to the ground in the process.

A few seconds later, Xu Xiyu bent down and picked up the book. While flipping through it, he said to Hu Ningwei, who looked very pretty: "I never thought that I could finish the translation so quickly."

"The second and third volumes are also being translated simultaneously. We have found a publisher for you. My brother wants to print and sell them first, and then do serious promotion after we help you win a foreign science fiction award."

Hearing this, Xu Xiyu nodded, and then asked worriedly: "Your English is better than mine, what do you think of this translation?"

"Don't worry, the main translator is also a science fiction writer, and the translation he makes is quite good." Hu Ningwei said with a smile.

After that, without waiting for Xu Xiyu's reply, she continued: "By the way, when do you plan to publish the Chinese version of The Three-Body Problem?"

As mentioned before, after Xu Xiyu leaked The Three-Body Problem, it was made available on major reading platforms. So, now there is only an electronic version, no physical book.

"Since the English version has been translated, why not publish them together? Hey, can your brother help me get a domestic science fiction award?" Xu Xiyu said with a smile.

"There's no need for him to do it." Hu Ningwei shook her head without any hesitation when she heard it.

Seeing this, Xu Xiyu clasped his hands and said in an exaggerated tone, "Could it be that Sister Wei is going to take action personally?"

"What's the matter? Once your book is published, you will get the Galaxy Award for Best Novel. Anyway, I can't think of any book more qualified to win the award than yours." Hu Ningwei said as a matter of course.

After that, he continued, "You don't know, regarding the publication of The Three-Body Problem, I think our Chinese science fiction community is more anxious than you are. If you have time, you can also adapt the script of New Paradise: Wangxian into a novel and publish it together."

"Is the play adapted from the novel?" Xu Xiyu said thoughtfully.

Speaking of which, Xu Xiyu feels that "Westworld" has a bad ending. Like many high-scoring American TV series, the first season is great, but the second season is terrible.

Therefore, he had a headache about the script for the second season of "New Paradise·Wangxian".

But now, Hu Ningwei's words reminded him.

Since I can’t write it myself, I might as well open up the IP of “New Paradise·Wangxian” and hold a call for submissions with the science fiction literature community.

Let the science fiction writer help adapt "New Paradise: Wangxian" into a novel, and expand the world view and continue the subsequent plot.

We will provide promotional resources and cash rewards on our own, and directly adapt the script into the sequel to "New Paradise·Wangxian" and shoot it.

In this way, he can also gain a good reputation of "supporting the development of Chinese science fiction literature", and the IP of "New Paradise" will have more vitality.

The most important thing is that this can once again consolidate the "science fiction" label on itself and provide support for launching more "science fiction" film and television works in the future.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu said to Hu Ningwei: "I think what you said makes sense, but I definitely don't have time to adapt the script of "New Paradise·Wangxian" into a novel for publication, so I decided to hold an essay contest."

"Is the theme "New Paradise·Wangxian"? " Hu Ningwei reacted instantly.

"Yes." Xu Xiyu nodded. Just as he was about to introduce his idea again, he heard the door knock again.

Then, Shan Xinbao came in. She first glanced at Hu Ningwei, and then said, "Mr. Xu, a client has made an appointment and wants to meet with you."

"Who is it?" Xu Xiyu asked curiously.

"The people at Netflix said they wanted to purchase the overseas broadcasting rights of New Paradise: Wangxian, as well as the film and television adaptation rights of New Paradise: Wangxian. They probably want to remake New Paradise."

"Netflix? Remake?" Xu Xiyu couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

He adapted "Westworld" into "New Paradise: Wangxian".

Now I’m afraid Netflix will have to adapt "New Paradise: The Fairyland" back into "Westworld"?

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu smiled and asked, "When did they meet?"

"Three days later."

"Okay." Xu Xiyu nodded, "Please arrange a specific time according to my schedule."

"Okay." Shan Xinbao responded and turned to go out.

after an hour.

Cheng Guangzu called again.

After the call was connected, Xu Xiyu just said "Hello" when he heard Cheng Guangzu excitedly said: "Mr. Xu! Are you in Beijing?"

"I'm here, what's wrong?" Xu Xiyu was curious about his excitement.

"I will bring a client to see you the day after tomorrow. He's from Warner Bros., and they want to buy the film and television adaptation rights of Infernal Affairs." Cheng Guangzu said excitedly.

After saying this, he was just about to brag about his achievements in front of Xu Xiyu, emphasizing his contribution and efforts in this matter.

At the same time, he hinted to Xu Xiyu that he should attach more importance to the cooperation with himself. In this way, there might be a chance to promote other works to the European and American markets.

Before he could even open his mouth, he heard Xu Xiyu say happily, "Good fellow, what day is it today? Why are you all here?"

"What do you mean by gathering together?" Cheng Guangzu was stunned by this.

"Just now, someone from Netflix said they want to buy the film and television adaptation rights of New Paradise: Wangxian." Xu Xiyu said happily.

"..." As soon as these words came out, Cheng Guangzu, who had been holding back on words to take credit, could no longer utter them.
