Literary Master 1978

On the third day of the Lunar New Year this year, the Tao family still followed their old habit and went to the military compound at the foot of Shijing Mountain.

After entering the two-story building of Du Ruolin's house, everyone immediately noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

After asking, I found out that it was Du Feng who bought new year's goods for his family before the Chinese New Year. He spent too much money and Du Ruolin noticed something wrong and thought he had done something illegal. After some torture to extract a confession, he found out that his son actually He retired from the army a long time ago and has been doing business during this time.

This made Du Ruolin so angry that he roared and wanted to break Du Feng's legs.

It's a pity that a daughter cannot be controlled by her mother, and a child cannot be controlled by his father. What's more, now that Du Feng has made money and has strong wings, he is not afraid of his father's threat at all.

In short, during the past few days during the Chinese New Year, the Du family was in a state of turmoil because of this incident.

Even though Du Ruolin was shouting fiercely, the deal was now settled and there was nothing he could do against Du Feng.

So when the Tao family came, they saw that Du Ruolin's face was as bad as if he had been lighting cannons for a day, while Du Feng was leisurely and content.

Growing up, his father was dissatisfied with everything he did, but now he finally succeeded in resisting. The most important thing is that the old man can't do anything to him.

"You'd better restrain yourself, or be careful of uncle whipping you with a belt!" Tao Yumo warned.

Du Feng didn't care, "Am I afraid of him?"

Du Feng was trembling when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him, "Du Feng!"

The muscle memory engraved in his bones made him shiver. He turned around and saw his father looking at him with a gloomy expression.

"Dad, what's the matter?" He opened his mouth, his face full of flattery.

"Come here and pour the wine."

"Hey!"

After bragging a few words, his true colors were revealed, and Tao Yumo laughed at his back.

As Du Feng poured wine for his father and elders, he heard Lin Chaoyang comfort his father: "Now that the national policies are open, business is a serious business. Du Feng is motivated, you should be happy."

Du Feng secretly gave Lin Chaoyang a thumbs up, thanking his brother-in-law for speaking up.

Today is different from the past. Lin Chaoyang is already a well-known writer in the domestic literary world. Movies based on his novels are being released this Spring Festival. His voice in the Tao and Du families is also becoming more and more important, and no one can take it lightly.

"Hmph! When he was in the army, I couldn't change things even if I was watching him. In the future, when he enters the society, he might cause some trouble."

Du Feng is the youngest among Du Ruolin's children. Although he always looks down on Du Feng, he actually worries about Du Feng the most.

"When you were in your twenties, you were already a battalion commander galloping on the battlefield. As the saying goes, a son resembles his father, and a son resembles his father. Du Feng is your son, so there is no difference.

Besides, you can't protect him forever. In the past, people introduced him as Du Ruolin's son. In a few years, when others introduce you, you have to say he is Du Feng's father. "

People, sometimes the closer people are, the harder it is to persuade them, but it is easier for outsiders to persuade them.

For Du Feng and his son, Lin Chaoyang is the outsider. His hating on Du Ruolin is not a deafening talk, but it captures a father's deepest expectation.

There is no father who doesn't want his child to be successful. Listening to Lin Chaoyang's words, the coldness in Du Ruolin's expression gradually melted away.

"No one needs to introduce me as his father. As long as he doesn't give me any trouble, I'll be happy with him."

Sensing that his father's tone had softened, Du Feng immediately hit the snake and followed the stick, "Dad, don't worry, I'm an honest businessman, and we will never do anything illegal or disciplinary."

Du Ruolin glanced at his son, ignored him, and drank a glass of wine with Lin Chaoyang.

The Spring Festival holiday only lasts a few days, and it’s gone in a flash.

Taking advantage of this holiday, Lin Chaoyang's new novel has finally come to an end, with two to three thousand words left to finish.

It was his turn to be on duty on the seventh day of the lunar month. He planned to finish writing the last few thousand words, but in the morning Jiang Huaiyan came over again and said that the factory director wanted to talk to him.

Lin Chaoyang saw that he wanted to have a chat with him, so he refused without even thinking about it.

Jiang Huaiyan thought he was still upset about what happened last year, so he said, "Lao Wang was helpless at that time and had no choice but to shoot the arrow."

Lin Chaoyang shook his head and said: "I've told you, what happened between us is nothing to worry about. If you want the right to adapt it, just pay enough."

"Let's meet and talk. If you have anything to do, let's meet." Jiang Huaiyan begged.

While the two were fighting, someone came to Lin Chaoyang again.

"Are you Comrade Lin Chaoyang?"

The visitor was dressed in military uniform. He was very polite when he saw Lin Chaoyang and showed his work permit and letter of introduction. It turned out to be Zheng Ruisheng, the literary editor of Bayi Film Studio.

"Comrade Junshu and I both worked at the Cultural Department of the Military Region before. Before coming back this time, I made a point of asking him about your situation."

The "Comrade Junshu" in Zheng Ruisheng's words is Liang Junshu, the literary editor of Warrior Publishing House. He is the editor in charge of the single volume of "Garland Under the Mountain".

With people they knew in common, Lin Chaoyang and Zheng Ruisheng had a relaxed conversation. He asked Zheng Ruisheng why he came to see him this time. Zheng Ruisheng said straight to the point: "Our Bayi Factory wants to put "Garland Under the Mountain" on Screen, I’m here just to ask for your opinion.”

After Zheng Ruisheng arrived, Jiang Huaiyan was ignored by Lin Chaoyang. Given the relationship between the two of them, he would not argue with him, but after Zheng Ruisheng introduced himself, he became more vigilant.

After Zheng Ruisheng explained his intention, Jiang Huaiyan became anxious.

Why is there someone here to argue on New Year's Day?

He watched Lin Chaoyang and Zheng Ruisheng chatting and laughing, and he was anxious.

The Bayi Film Studio is the only military film studio in China, mainly shooting military-themed films. They want to shoot "The Wreath under the Mountain" but they have advantages that no one else has. This is definitely the biggest competitor of Yanying Studio.

Seeing that the two were getting more and more excited, Jiang Huaiyan was scratching his head anxiously, fearing that Lin Chaoyang would agree to Zheng Ruisheng.

"Chaoyang, didn't you say that the highest bidder would get the adaptation rights?" Jiang Huaiyan said in a hurry.

Hearing Jiang Huaiyan speak, Zheng Ruisheng looked surprised. Lin Chaoyang had not introduced Jiang Huaiyan just now, "This is..."

"Yanying Studio, Jiang Huaiyan!" Jiang Huaiyan said with his head held high, almost writing "We are enemies" on his face.

Lin Chaoyang explained, "Like your Bayi Film Studio, Yan Film Studio also intends to obtain the adaptation rights of my novel."

Zheng Ruisheng nodded, "Comrade Chaoyang's novel has a huge influence, and it seems that it is indeed in great demand."

Seeing that Zheng Ruisheng did not seem to take Yan Film Studio, a competitor, seriously, Jiang Huaiyan wanted to put pressure on the other party, but Lin Chaoyang said, "Old Jiang, we have finished talking, why don't you go back first."

What is finished?

Jiang Huaiyan immediately realized that Lin Chaoyang wanted to send him away to talk to Zheng Ruisheng alone. If he left, wouldn't it be like Wu Dalang giving up his place to Ximen Qing?

He hurriedly pulled Lin Chaoyang aside and whispered, "I tell you, Bayi Film Studio has always been stingy in production investment, and they will definitely not give you such a high fee."

How could Lin Chaoyang not understand his little thoughts? He said lightly, "Bayi Film Studio has its own advantages."

Hearing his words, Jiang Huaiyan became anxious, "We also have advantages!"

"What advantages do you have? I didn't see that you were stingy when discussing the fee, and you are still unwilling to offer an offer."

"Then don't we have to meet and talk? After work, Lao Wang will treat you to a meal. When the time comes, we will meet and discuss in detail. I will definitely give you a satisfactory fee."

Just now, Jiang Huaiyan didn't mention the dinner. It seems that competition is the driving force!

Since he said so, it's not impossible to meet.

"Okay, you go back first, I'll go to your company after get off work."

After getting Lin Chaoyang's reply, Jiang Huaiyan breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but remind him: "You must not agree to their Bayi Film Studio first, they are stingy."

"I know, I know."

Lin Chaoyang sent him away, and then turned to Zheng Ruisheng, "I'm sorry."

Zheng Ruisheng smiled and said: "It's nothing, the recent hit of "The Shepherd" fully proves the mass base of your work, and everyone must want the adaptation rights of your work."

"As for the royalties..."

After get off work in the evening, Lin Chaoyang rode his bicycle to Youyishun Restaurant on Huangsi Street, Dewai, Xicheng.

Affected by the Qing Dynasty, there are many halal restaurants in Yanjing City, including Jinfang Snacks, Hongbinlou, Donglaishun, Xilaishun, Kaorouwan, Kaorouji, Baikui Laohao, Yitiaolong... There are countless, all with their own characteristics.

Youyishun's Muslim restaurant in Yanjing is a Dongpai cuisine, with the selling points of roasting, grilling, shabu-shabu, Northwest cuisine and stir-fry.

When Lin Chaoyang arrived here, Hu Qiming and Jiang Huaiyan were already waiting here.

When they met, Wang Yang was very enthusiastic. He took Lin Chaoyang and talked directly about the unpleasantness during the preparation of "A Game of Chess That Has Not Been Finished", and solemnly apologized to Lin Chaoyang.

Wang Yang behaved openly and Lin Chaoyang waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's all in the past. Let's not blame the person."

"It's great that you think so." Wang Yang saw that Lin Chaoyang really looked unconcerned and didn't take it to heart, with a smile on his face.

Then the two sides ate and talked, and naturally mentioned the adaptation rights of "The Wreath Under the Mountain".

"Huai Yan has told me your idea. The influence of "The Wreath under the Mountain" in China is indeed unique. If it is adapted into a movie, it will definitely be welcomed by readers.

But you should also understand that such a novel must be adapted into a movie with financial investment.

We will definitely try our best to meet your requirements for royalties..."

Wang Yang talked in circles for a long time without getting to the point. Lin Chaoyang knew that it would be difficult to reach a consensus today.

He didn't care. He didn't really want to give the adaptation rights of the novel to Yanying Studio when he came to the banquet today.

"Director Wang, let's not beat around the bush." ​​Seeing that Wang Yang didn't get to the point after talking for a long time, Lin Chaoyang had to interrupt him forcibly.

"Well... For the royalties, we can pay 5,000 yuan!"

Under Lin Chaoyang's urging, Wang Yang seemed to have made a great determination and finally said.

Five thousand yuan?

In the current domestic film industry, it is common to pay hundreds of yuan for a movie script. If it can reach more than 1,000 yuan, it is considered a high price.

Yanying Studio quoted Lin Chaoyang a price of 4,000 yuan, which cannot be said to be insincere.

"It seems that there is a certain gap between our ideas!" Lin Chaoyang said lightly.
