Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

Filming scene.

The phone in Chen Xiao's hand lit up.

I picked it up and took a look. It was a message from the president of Popular Literature Publishing House.

He stood up, said hello to the people around him, walked outside the Yangxin Hall, and called back to the president.

The call was answered quickly.

"President Xia, long time no see."

"Good morning, Director Chen."

The two chatted for a while, and the president opposite said hesitantly: "Director Chen, we plan to increase our efforts to promote "Alive". However, there is a new book late next month, and the market performance will also be good."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao nodded.

The publishing company of "Harry Potter" in China is Popular Literature Publishing House.

In just eight days in late February, a company would not be able to publish two hit books.

It should be "Harry Potter".

Just as he was thinking this, the president continued: "I think that book is also suitable for film and television. You can pay attention to it when the time comes. If you are interested, I will help you contact a literary agent."

Chen Xiao frowned slightly and continued walking into the yard.

The president's words probably didn't mean it superficially, and he didn't really ask him whether he wanted to make it into a film or television.

The president just mentioned "Alive".

Apparently he was comparing the market performance of the two books in his mind. He was worried that the sales of "Alive" would not be as good as that of "Harry Potter". Dongzhuan misunderstood that the publisher would reduce cooperation, so he made a special phone call to show his friendly attitude.

It’s just that I couldn’t just say, “Your book can’t sell to others,” so I took a detour and asked him if he wanted to make it into a film and TV show.

The president is so kind.

Hmm...I suddenly realized that the social circle is really a circle.

Two people have already told him that he is going to be robbed of his money.

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Thank you, President Xia. We'll see what happens when the time comes."

"Okay, contact me if you need it. And for the book "Alive", don't worry, I particularly like this work and will try my best to provide promotional resources for this book."

Chen Xiao raised his hand to cover his forehead.

No... no need to.

"Alive" is not in a hurry. The company wants to expand its readership by winning awards.

And it's about poor life, not trying to make money from it. It will be released directly on the free novel platform in a while.

But "Harry Potter" is about making money! It has just been launched, so try your best to promote it!

Chen Xiao pulled up the wicker chair and sat down, and said: "President Xia, you are too polite. Next month you need to promote a hit, so just promote that book. The publishing house also has to make money. For "Alive", if it can win an award, It will naturally be brought into the eyes of more people. I am not in a hurry. If it is a good book, it will be seen by everyone.”

On the other side of the phone, President Xia was stunned.

He took the phone from his ear to his face, looked at Chen Xiao's profile picture in disbelief, and then put the phone back again.

What Chen Xiao said was to ask the publishing house to promote other people's books?

So generous?

So free and easy?

ah? You publish a book, but ask the publisher to give up the publicity resources to others?

Are you a big Buddha?

President Xia felt that his CPU was burning rapidly.

However, from my own perspective, this is definitely a good thing. There is no need for the publishing house to coordinate resources, and there is no need to worry about offending people.

Could it be that Chen Xiao saw that he was in trouble and specifically let him go?

The president smiled and said: "Okay, thank you, Director Chen. Director Chen is really free and easy. Xia admires him. I admire him."

On the other side of the phone, Chen Xiao held his breath and thought to himself:

No... stop boasting.

Your praise makes people very worried. When you learn the identity of the author, will you secretly scold me as "Chen Gou"?

Chen Xiao smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you. I really deserve it."

After chatting for a few more words, the two hung up the phone.

In Popular Literature Publishing House.

President Xia put down his phone and raised his hand to rub his temples.

Don’t understand, still don’t understand.

He has offered to give Chen Xiao resources, so there is no need for Chen Xiao to refuse?

How can businessmen care so little about fame and fortune when they value profits?

Unbelievable.

I always thought that being righteous and free-spirited was his personality and a fan filter.

Is it true? No way?

Thinking of this, President Xia looked out the window in disbelief, his eyes crossed the bookshelf, and stopped on the black "Alive".

He frowned slightly, stood up, walked to the bookshelf, and took down the novel.

Could it be that... he is really not aware enough and is too shallow?

Recently, he has been thinking about why Chen Xiao doesn't write more and collect 130,000 yuan to participate in the Mao Dun Literature Award.

Now it seems that these 120,000 words may have been intentional by Director Chen!

People are so soft-hearted when it comes to winning awards, so there is no need to prove themselves in this way.

Is this someone from the Ministry of Culture? The legendary successor to socialism?

What a high level. Admire, admire!

On the other side, in the Yangxin Hall of the Ming and Qing Palace in Hengdian, the crew took a short break.

When Fang Rong walked out of the Yangxin Hall, he saw Chen Xiao sitting on a wicker chair, frowning and staring at his mobile phone in a daze.

Fang Rong walked over, pulled out the chair next to him and sat down, "What's wrong, boss? Is he trapped in love? Are you having relationship problems?"

Chen Xiao snorted coldly, "Are you in a state of confusion on the set? President Xia of Popular Publishing House just now told me that a hit book will be published next month and asked if we should consider turning it into a film and television. "

Fang Rong nodded, "Lao Xia, you have a very good vision. Do you agree?"

"That's not true."

"you……"

Fang Rong sighed lightly and suddenly didn't know what to say.

President Xia has a good vision and takes the initiative to contact him. There is a high probability that it will be a popular work.

Agree and get the film and television adaptation rights. If you don't shoot, let someone else in the company shoot it.

You don't even want the money from the sky, what's the idea?

Fang Rong suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

Young people want face.

But that's money!

Face can't be used as money, but money can be used as face!

Fang Rong asked tentatively: "Director Chen, do you think it's shameful to import works from abroad?"

Without waiting for Chen Xiao to answer, he put on the appearance of a senior and said earnestly: "Brother advises you, people can't even give up money for dignity, right?"

Chen Xiao: "?"

Fang Rong coughed.

He accidentally said what was in his heart.

"I said it wrong. People can't even give up money for face, right?"

Fang Rong smiled awkwardly.

This time it sounds much more upright.

Chen Xiao shrugged, "Am I that kind of person?"

Fang Rong said decisively: "No. Then you plan to get it later, right? After you get it, you won't shoot it for me."

"No, I'll shoot it."

Fang Rong secretly rolled his eyes.

Okay, I really overestimate his self-esteem.

...

The next day, a heavy snow fell in Hengdian.

The crews of various companies were busy, trying to shoot famous scenes with the heavy snow.

Chen Xiao left the crew and walked around Zhejiang Province.

Time passed quickly, and it was February 1st in a blink of an eye.

Publishers in many countries around the world have successively launched the promotion of "Harry Potter". The overwhelming promotional advertisements have entered the public eye in various forms.

When young people browse their mobile phones, they occasionally see advertisements posted by publishers on social media and online platforms.

Workers open their emails and see new book previews posted by publishers.

Shopping websites such as Amazon and Taobao, and websites of publishers in various countries have also started pre-sale activities.
