Chapter 55 Looking for a Director

Du Wenhai said, "At eight o'clock tonight, it's at the same restaurant as last time."

"Okay." Chen Dong agreed.

----

At eight o'clock in the evening, Chen Dong appeared on time at the Haozailai restaurant near Dinghai University.

"Sir, how many people?" A waiter greeted Chen Dong and asked.

"Sorry, I'm here for the appointment, Mr. Du's private room." Chen Dong said.

"Well, you are Mr. Chen." After hearing this, the waiter asked Chen Dong.

Chen Dong nodded.

"Mr. Chen, please follow me. Mr. Du is in the Plum Blossom Hall." The waiter led the way, and Chen Dong followed.

As soon as he walked into the Plum Blossom Hall, he saw that Du Wenhai had been waiting for a long time.

"Sorry, I'm late." Chen Dong said modestly.

"It's not late, it's not even eight o'clock. I'm early." Du Wenhai said with a smile.

"Mr. Du, do you have anything to do with me?" Chen Dong sat down opposite Du Wenhai and said.

"You're hungry, let's eat and chat first, crucian carp soup, wild, tastes good, very nourishing." Du Wenhai said.

He knew that Chen Dong had a habit of not drinking, so he didn't order alcohol.

"Okay." Chen Dong was indeed a little hungry, so he stopped being polite and scooped himself a bowl of crucian carp soup.

After a full meal.

"I'm looking for you this time. Firstly, I'm here to chat about our relationship. Second, I want you to give us the simplified version of "The Story of Longevity" to our Changjiang Publishing House." Du Wenhai said.

Chen Dong nodded and said, "Okay, how much is the manuscript remuneration."

Anyway, "The Story of Immortality" will be published in the future. Whoever signs it is not the signature. Chen Dong is very happy to cooperate with Changjiang Publishing House. First, Yangtze River Publishing House can give a very high share of the royalties. Secondly, he and Du Wenhai Familiar relationship.

Du Wenhai thought about it for a while, and said, ""Longevity" is different from "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is very suitable for physical publishing, and it has not been serialized on the Internet before. In order to get a 15/100 share.

However, "The Story of Longevity" has been serialized on the Internet. Readers who want to read the book can go online to read it, and the corresponding physical books are sold less. In addition to fans of "The Story of Longevity" who like to collect physical books, there are also some who don't like to go online. Readers who take a book for entertainment, so I can only give 9/100 of the publishing remuneration for the simplified book of "Longevity". "

"Okay." Chen Dong nodded.

网络小说简体出版稿酬分成一般在5/100~10/100，再高也高不过10/100，能拿到9/100的分成算是非常不错了。

Immediately, Du Wenhai took out a contract. The content of the contract was that Chen Dong would hand over the publishing rights of the simplified version of "The Story of Immortality" to Changjiang Publishing House for publication, and the royalties would be 9/100.

Chen Dong carefully looked at the contract and saw that there was nothing wrong with it, so he signed his name.

"Happy cooperation." Du Wenhai raised his tea cup and toasted Chen Dong with tea instead of wine.

"Pleasant to work with."

"Xiaodong, when will your book on the Three Kingdoms be written?" Du Wenhai pretended to have no intention of asking.

At the signing ceremony of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", Chen Dong said that he would write a book about the Three Kingdoms. During the era of the Three Kingdoms, when heroes came forth in large numbers and gold and iron horses, the writing style and writing skills of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" were more refined. There is no reason to write worse than "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".

Chen Dong asked with a smile, "Mr. Du, isn't seven volumes of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" enough for your publishing house? One volume can be sold for 4 or 5 months, and seven volumes can be sold for two and a half years."

Du Wenhai explained, "Recently, the publishing house has received many letters from readers. Most of the letters mentioned when the book Pin Three Kingdoms will be released. I am looking forward to it. I hope you will write it as soon as possible."

In fact, he didn't say anything about it. He was the one who most hoped that Chen Dong would write the Three Kingdoms book as soon as possible.

publisher?Of course, he can't wait to grab the publishing rights of all the best-selling books in the world, and he is no exception. With the example of "Ming Dynasty", he will definitely not miss the books of the Three Kingdoms. He can't wait to catch Chen Dong now. neck, and said to Chen Dong, "Write the Three Kingdoms to me immediately." '

Chen Dong nodded and said, "Okay, I'm very busy these days. I'll hand over the manuscript to you by the end of this year or early next year."

After getting a satisfactory answer from Chen Dong, Du Wenhai didn't say anything, and chatted about some recent interesting topics while sipping tea.

After the meal, Chen Dong said goodbye to Du Wenhai.

The next main job is to make a movie. The funds for the shooting have been in place, and the next step is to find a good director.

Chen Dong is an outsider. Even if he is famous, he has the ability to hire directors. He can't afford to hire directors. He doesn't know how to find directors who are not famous but capable.

Therefore, he plans to trouble the school leaders. Dinghai University has many exchanges and cooperation with art schools such as Dinghai Theater Academy and Dinghai Film Art Academy.

Chen Dongxun is Zhou Zhifu, head of the Department of Computer Science and Technology.

Chen Dong knew Zhou Zhifu very early. Zhou Zhifu admired Chen Dong very much. After he performed "I Believe" at the school celebration party, Zhou Zhifu came to Chen Dong's class to find him and praised Chen Dong. .

"Hello, Director Zhou." Chen Dong walked into Zhou Zhifu's office and greeted Zhou Zhifu with a smile.

"Sit down, Xiaodong, what can I do for you?" Zhou Zhifu said enthusiastically when he saw Chen Dong come in.

Chen Dong told Zhou Zhifu that he wanted to make a movie. The funds were enough and the script was ready, but he was short of a director. He wanted to ask Zhou Zhifu to help him find a capable director.

"Well, this is a good thing, and the school should support it." Upon hearing Chen Dong's words, Zhou Zhifu quickly agreed, and said to Chen Dong with a smile, "Well, I will talk to the director of the director department of Dinghai Theater Academy, Mr. Qian is a friend, I will give him a call to see if he has any suitable director candidates.”

"Okay, thank you Director Zhou."

Zhou Zhifu immediately made a call.

"Old Qian, I'm Zhou Zhifu. One of my students plans to make a movie. Please find a director. Do you have any good students to recommend?"

"What's the budget of the movie?"

Zhou Zhifu looked at Chen Dong.

"About 450 million." Chen Dong whispered from the side.

"Old money, about 450W."

"Your student is quite courageous. Okay. Wang Sen just happened to be idle. I asked him to come to your school to find you tomorrow. Xiao Wang is a very capable director with a solid foundation and rich experience. He has directed five or six small and medium-budget films. They all got very high box office and have a certain reputation in the mainland film and television circle." On the other side of the phone, Qian Changchun said with a smile.

In his words, he praised his student. The 450W shooting budget was a lot. He hoped that Wang Sen could successfully get the director position of this drama.

Zhou Zhifu smiled and said, "Okay, you ask him to come to my school office to find me tomorrow, and let's talk about it first. If Wang Sen is not the director, I won't count, but my students will count."
