"I'm busy, the 'Peach Demon' movie is being planned, and she still needs to receive some other training. When she is free, I will ask you to come out and have a meal together." Zhou Mengzhu said, "I came to you today to talk to you. One thing, the company wants to buy the copyright of "Looking Back on a Flourishing Age", and I want to ask you what you mean."

"Eh?"

"That's right, I just want to buy the copyright to shoot TV dramas," Zhou Mengzhu introduced the company's plans and market estimates in a formulaic manner. In fact, this is not the point at all. After going through it vaguely, she clicked her bag to indicate that she had brought the documents. Let Zhou Zhe and others read it slowly, "Actually, I was the one who proposed to buy the copyright of this book. Even your brother-in-law who has always supported my work doesn't like me very much. If this book is really made into a TV series, the market is actually not big. Unless it's shoddy, we're absolutely wasting money and getting nothing, but I'm a little more optimistic than him, I see more than he does."

"Actually, I think sister, your intuition may not be as good as brother-in-law's." After all, the audience of "Looking Back on the Prosperous Age" is too small. People who don't read the Internet literature circle definitely think that the stories that happen in it are very childish, and teenagers and girls in the second period may not like it. it.

"When you registered an author account in Jinjiang, did you ever think that you could do what you are doing now?" Zhou Mengzhu looked at Zhou Zhe with his hands dragging his chin, with a proud smile in his eyes, "So I do these things now I didn't think too much about it, I just wanted to give it a try, and maybe it could produce amazing results, so I'm wronging you to sacrifice being your sister's test product."

It took Zhou Zhe nearly three years to revive originality in the online literature circle. He thought of his hardships in the first year, and had to believe what Zhou Mengzhu said. Before he started, who knew what he could do?

"I have to go back and report this to the editor. "Looking Back at the Prosperity" participated in Jinjiang's essay contest before. Jinjiang promised to strive for the best interests of the top ten works when signing the copyright. I'm afraid that the website has already started contacting others."

"Hey," Zhou Mengzhu looked at him suspiciously, "Don't you know that I sponsored the first Jinjiang Original Essay Contest."

"???" What the hell?

What did his sister just say?

"The essay contest jointly organized by several major websites is also sponsored by me and your brother-in-law. Of course, there are also some friends." Zhou Mengzhu flicked his forehead with his finger, "You people only look at the requirements and rewards when participating in the competition, not Are you looking at sponsors?"

"..." As someone who got word from Hui before the event was held, Zhou Zhe didn't even read the announcement carefully, let alone the sponsor.

"No...sister, why did you contact Jinjiang to engage in this activity? You can't imagine that the result of this activity will not be so good, can you?" In the first original essay competition, Zhou Zhe, the original author, is already good. , if Zhou Zhe hadn't seized the opportunity later, then the result of the competition would have been impossible to score [-] points for the original and plagiarized articles. Wouldn't his sister go crazy with anger?

"I have thought about the result. If it weren't for your accident, this event would have been postponed for at least two years, but you... no, I didn't know it was you at the beginning. I saw your ID and what you were doing at the earliest. I know that the plan we have planned for a long time will be advanced."

Zhou Zhe had a question mark on his face.

"I don't know how to tell you. Do you still remember the follow-up message that appeared on the Internet after Zhuang Shiqin committed suicide?"

"Copy the message that Zhuang Shiqin said more than ten years ago?" At that time, a group of people didn't know whether they were following the trend or were really poked into their minds. They all copied Zhuang Shiqin's words back then, but they disappeared after that. Zhou Zhe originally thought that these people were joking, but now that Zhou Mengzhu mentioned it, he felt that it was not that simple.

"In one sentence, we have been working hard for that goal." Zhou Mengzhu seemed to have thought of something, "At the beginning, no one knew anyone. At that time, most of the articles in the Internet circle were plagiarized. For a while, we Very negative, and later I don’t know who said in the group that if you can become a capable person when you grow up, then you must find a way to change this deformed world. We fantasized in the group for half a year, thinking about ourselves every day In his future career, he opened his mind and said that he would become a person who would shake the whole earth when he stomped his feet, and then he was banned from plagiarism. After half a year, I don’t know who said in the group that he would work hard for the future. I never went online again, and after another half a year, the original authors collectively closed their pens, and we readers also left. At that time, I was...immature, so all I remembered in my heart were the promises made a year ago, and I struggled for it for a long time Now, it has become my obsession."

However, it was 11 years of transformation and struggle, and it was a hardship that Zhou Zhe could not understand.

"Those of us have been in contact with each other occasionally over the years. About 5 years ago, maybe it was fate. That night, 80.00% of the people in the old group were there, so I said, 'I think now I have the ability to change the Internet circle. ', thankfully so are they."

Over the years, some people have continued to enrich themselves like Zhou Mengzhu, some people have entered the showbiz like Zhuang Shiqin, some have entered school and some have delved into the mountains of law.

Zhou Mengzhu held one small meeting after another with them, and then began to organize offline gatherings.

They made deployments one after another, and more and more old readers and authors joined in on the way. They should have taken a step-by-step approach, but Zhuang Shiqin's suicide and the appearance of "keep digging a hole" disrupted their plans. Zhou Mengzhu found Zhuang Shiqin, and Zhuang Shiqin nodded to cooperate with her, but Zhou Mengzhu didn't know how to contact and kept digging holes.

Because of the various behaviors of digging holes on the Internet, they mistakenly thought that this was also an old man who had planned for many years like them and now returned to the Internet literary circle. For the time being, there is no good way to contact Hangshen in private, but it does not prevent them from helping her in private.

This is why several great gods who had been away for many years suddenly appeared on the Internet to support Zhou Zhe as if they had received information together. In addition to the gray "tip report", Zhou Mengzhu's role should not be underestimated.

It's just that Zhou Mengzhu didn't expect that this "old man" who he thought was about the same age as him would be his younger brother.

"We have contacted more and more original authors, and are trying to find a way to purchase the copyright of the novels of the year. We are confident that TV dramas adapted from original novels will occupy the TV drama market for at least the next five years, and those who plagiarize themes will wait to step aside. Stand up, after we discussed it, we decided that this time period is the best for "Retrospects of the Flourishing Age" to appear on the screen, so I came to ask you what you think."

Zhou Zhe immediately said that there was no problem, and that his sister had nothing to trust, so he immediately decided to hand over the novel to her: "I am also very happy to be able to help."

Originally, "Return to the Prosperity" has ended. With the appearance of "Return to Life", everyone's attention has turned to how the new article will develop in the future. Since Zhou Mengzhu can let "Return to the Prosperity" play its remaining heat, why not for what?

"Anyway, it's your novel, and you have to know how I will deal with it in the future." Zhou Mengzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'll pick out a few key points to read to you, and if you think you have any questions or don't understand, you must ask me. Daxing, you will face the situation of selling more than one edition, so it’s probably good to know a little bit about it.”

Zhou Zhe had no interest in these at all, he fell asleep leaning on Zhou Yuan after listening to it, and it was Zhou Yuan who listened to Zhou Mengzhu's instructions for him, and Zhou Mengzhu shook his head.

After Zhou Mengzhu finished telling him, he woke up immediately, his eyes were not at all dazed, as if he wasn't the one who was leaning on Zhou Yuan to sleep just now.

Zhou Mengzhu chatted with her two younger brothers about daily chores, and she didn't leave in a hurry until a phone call came.

The three brothers and sisters parted ways at the entrance of the restaurant. Zhou Zhe looked at her hurrying but smiling face. Thinking of the information he had received during his trip, he felt unprecedentedly relaxed.

Even if he doesn't show up, as long as there is someone like his sister who has been working hard for more than ten years, then there is still hope for the Internet literature circle.

The best example happened around him. Under the influence of Lu Yiqiu, all the classes she taught have more or less changed their views on "copying papers", "copying homework", and "copying novels". After Lu Yiqiu became a freshman counselor, the class she led was the most distinctive class among the freshmen: they had many ideas and were eager to learn and work hard.

11 years ago, she influenced many people in the web literature circle, and 11 years later, she influenced more people in the third dimension.

Lu Yiqiu, Zhuang Shiqin, Zhou Mengzhu...and many friends who have never met in his friend list are busy with the words "Be able to treat me", even if Zhou Zhe never appeared, two or three years Afterwards, they will still condense the power of small and small groups in various fields and return to the Internet circle.

Zhou Zhe was extremely glad that he had been reborn for a while. He witnessed a dying online literary circle, but he also saw people holding fireflies leaning together in the dark. The faint fluorescent light was getting brighter and brighter. And he is one of them.

He will witness the rebirth of a circle - with his and everyone's efforts.

This feeling is so good that he has been entangled with the mentality of "if it weren't for us people to stand on the sidelines, then the Internet literature circle would not die" disappeared in an instant.

He has a sense of atonement relief.

Zhou Zhe felt that he had seen the future of the Internet literary circle, and his mind was no longer as heavy as the past. The most direct means for him to express his thoughts was that period of time. Everything went smoothly, readers began to support them, and the protagonist and the author's friends joked with each other and made people laugh out loud. After reading several chapters, it even made people feel that this article is not cruel or dark at all. illusion.

Although "Survival from Desperation" participated in the original essay competition, its limelight was not suppressed, and many authors even thanked "I have been digging holes" in the article. It was his appearance and support that made me determined to write original writing. Many people will turn to "Survival from Desperation" instead.

So much so that after the revival of the original, people selected the great god of the new era, and Zhou Zhe deservedly sat on the No.1 throne.
