When Careeraholic Meets Workaholic

Zhou Yao's family is rich, but their foundation is very weak. Those who make their fortunes from real estate are called local tyrants.But if you are rich, you can marry a beautiful wife, so Zhou Yao's mother was born in a scholarly family, able to calligraphy and painting, and has a gentle personality.

Therefore, if the foundation is weak, it is difficult to make a comeback. If there is too much romance in your heart, you will not be able to withstand the wind and rain.

Zhou Yao's father went bankrupt because he bought a rotten piece of land, and was sued by migrant workers and sent to prison. His mother couldn't afford it, and she was treated for two years, and finally died of illness.

Zhou Yao lived very hard in those two years. He sold everything he could sell, and borrowed all the money he could. He Yu, who had become a giant in the film and television industry at that time, gave him 2000 yuan, and the money fell on the ground. , he bent down to pick it up, grateful, until He Yu became the new boss of his family's transformation industry, Zhou Yao didn't know that He Yu participated in that "vicious siege", if he hadn't been in the middle, his father would not have So easy to start buying.

When Zhou Yao was 36 years old, his family was ruined, and he struggled for four years under the torment of depression. Finally, he couldn't escape the hand of death and jumped into the river.

Now, listening to his mother's caring voice, and thinking of his father patting the table in the conference room in high spirits, Zhou Yao feels happy.

I cherish it very much.

So do something about it.

Let the family feel at ease and make the family proud.

Zhou Yao put down the phone, wiped away his tears, and told himself that this was the last time he cried. In the blink of an eye, light gradually condensed in his eyes.

He can no longer live such a casual life, it is time for him to shoulder the responsibilities that he once avoided, but has no chance to shoulder after he wakes up!

That night, Zhou Yao sat in front of the computer for a long time, writing and writing, and thinking for a long time. Just when he thought he should go home to help his father, he saw the coding software on the computer desktop.

Yes.

"Seven Gods" has written five parts, each of which has been dominating the major charts of the website for a long time, that is, these seven parts, after being sold to He Yu, let him flourish, and finally be called "" Creator of the Celestial Universe.

Zhou Yao is a screenwriter who studied at university. The structure of his work is very suitable for adaptation. Whether it is the character setting or the conflict of the plot, it is very dramatic, with a precise sense of rhythm and concise and clear dialogue. It can be said to be a film. An online novel that you can shoot right away.

So, He Yu can make money from his works and become a giant in the entertainment circle, why can't he?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yao's eyes fixed, he found the files stored in his computer, and found the first work in this series - "God Says".

Click to open.

Although Zhou Yao has a rich life, he decides what he does based on his likes and dislikes, but if he makes up his mind to do something, he will be very focused and efficient.

When the first version of the adapted script of "God Says" came out, Zhou Yao had locked himself at home for five days, and he didn't wake up from that mad state until He Yu called.

The unfamiliar number He Yu used couldn't help complaining the moment he got connected: "What about you? Why am I always busy calling you? Ancestor, can we talk about it? At least let me know where it is. Did it make you angry?"

Zhou Yao heard the voice, frowned slightly, and was about to hang up.

He Yu seemed to put his eyes on the phone, and hurriedly said: "Don't hang up, don't be angry, talk, can't you talk? I'm right at your door. If you don't talk to me, I'll knock on the door!"

Zhou Yao was dizzy and dizzy when he was adapting the adaptation. When he heard the words, he suddenly became angry and said, "Did you bring the contract?"

"Eh? Ah! Bring it!"

Zhou Yao sneered silently, took off his glasses and left the computer desk.

He opened the door, and He Yu was standing at the door, looking a bit haggard, probably feeling uneasy these days, it's best not to sleep at night.

"Yaoer, brother Yao, you can ignore me." He Yu smiled and was about to enter the house.

Zhou Yao stood and did not give way, but spread his hands: "Contract."

"Ah? Hey, here it is, here."

The five-page authorization contract was written in densely packed words. Many people would not read it carefully, and in fact they could not understand it. But Zhou Yao took the contract and stood at the door to read it carefully. In [-] minutes, He Yu changed his feet twice, and hesitated to speak.

But Zhou Yao became colder and colder as he looked at it. In his last life, he didn’t understand, so he signed the contract in a daze. Later, when he met He Yu, he also asked about the details of the contract. The contract is broken, and there are 30 years, film and television adaptations, comic adaptations, game adaptations, including peripheral authorizations are all given to me, what do you mean by this now, we can’t regret changing our mind just because we made money, right, in black and white, or If it has legal effect, it is useless even if it goes to court.”

But when I asked a question, I got such a heartbreaking answer.

Looking at it carefully now, it is indeed the case. The one-sided contract terms, except for the copyright fee, do not take into account the author's position.

In my previous life, I was so innocent.

After reading the last word, he held the contract lightly in his hand, cut his thin eyelids at He Yu, and asked, "An article, buyout, 42?"

He Yu observed the words and expressions: "Prices can be negotiated, and you must negotiate prices when doing business. With the quality of your works, you can definitely increase the price."

Silly.

Zhou Yao laughed at himself.

"Just tell me, how much is the highest."

"Six, uh...eight... uh, a million, I think it can be won."

"few."

He Yu frowned: "Here, shall we go in and talk?"

"Open again."

"Let's go in..." Seeing Zhou Yao looking at him coldly, He Yu gritted his teeth, "Your Tianshen series plan is a seven-part series, right? If you give me all the authorizations, I think this number is fine."

Zhou Yao looked at He Yu's raised finger. Of course it was not 100 million, but 1000 million. "Heh", he laughed out loud.

Raise your hand.

Throw the contract in He Yu's face.

backhand.

"Bang" sound.

close the door!

There was a persistent knock on the door behind him, but Zhou Yao walked into the study with a blank expression, and closed the door tightly to isolate the annoying voice.

The money, of course, is not He Yu's bottom line. During the serialization period alone, his annual income was close to this amount. Even the remaining two were given away.

He is, really regards He Yu as a friend.

But his "friend" just wanted to lie on his body to suck blood, and then make trouble behind his back.

Sitting in front of the computer, looking at the first draft of the script, Zhou Yao knew that if he handed over the script to several big companies that had contacted him before, it would not be less than ten million for this one. But he had other ideas.

Knowing that the project that makes money, of course he has to do it himself, and once the script is sold, there are not many places for him to intervene. The capital will not allow him to interfere too much in the specific matters of film and television. If he is unlucky, maybe the script It will also be put on hold, and even affect the signing of his subsequent works.

And He Yu can grow from a small company to a big one, there is no reason why he can't!

So Zhou Yao went to bed early that night, and got up early the next morning, preparing to give an explanation to his family about his life that was about to change.

Transforming from an online novel author to a producer is not as simple as getting some money, but it has crossed an industry, and even increased the dimension.

The family must at least know what he is doing recently and what he is busy with.

After opening the door and going out, He Yu, who said "I will never leave until I see Zhou Yao", has disappeared. When Zhou Yao drove away from the underground garage, he made a special detour to the gate post.

He pressed the car window, looked at the security guard who was leaning over and said, "The man who came to my house last night, don't let him in again."

The property management in the community is doing a good job, and the security guard immediately said: "Mr. Zhou, you are talking about Mr. He Yuhe, right? No problem, I will notify other staff members to ensure that he will not be able to enter the community again in the future."

"Thank you." Zhou Yao thanked him and drove away.

Zhou Yao knew that his method was too tough and not cruel enough, the best way is to deal with He Yu, just like he did to him back then, and let him taste the taste of betrayal when he finds the right opportunity.

But Zhou Yao is not He Yu after all, and it takes energy and affection to associate with a person, and his feelings don't just let go or accept as he says.

Let's cut off the capital of He Yu's fortune for the time being, if we meet again in the future, it will be the enemy.

Thinking about it this way, Zhou Yao drove the car into a villa area. The three-storey small building in the depths was the ancestral house of the Zhou family. Support the proud heart of the Zhou family.

Of course, the house in the previous life had already been auctioned off by the court. Zhou Yao felt a lot of emotion, and finally pressed the fingerprint lock, and the door opened in response.

The sweet smell of pastry came from the room, as well as the melodious call of the lark.

"啾啾~啾啾~"

Then Zhou Yao saw the old man sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, and the woman serving out the cookies. When he saw Zhou Yao coming back, he stood still in surprise, and then smiled brightly: "Ah, my son is back."

Zhou Yao blinked his hot eyes, smiled and nodded: "Mom."

The old man put down the newspaper, got up and looked at Zhou Yao, Zhou Yao called out respectfully: "Grandpa."

Zhou Yao wanted to be a producer, so of course he had to tell his family about it. After exchanging pleasantries, the three of them sat down, and Zhou Yao came slowly.When the two elders heard that Zhou Yao was going to make his novel into a TV series, they both showed their support without asking why.

My mother said: "Okay, I have read all your novels, and it would be the best if they can be made into a TV series. Mom is your most loyal fan."

Grandpa said: "I heard you mentioned selling copyrights. Why do you want to shoot it yourself? The risk is too high. There is a mountain of distance. Let me see if any of my friends know how to do it."

One supports in spirit and one supports in action.

The mother said: "My son is so handsome, don't be a producer, just be the lead actor."

Grandpa said: "I found it. Lao Liu likes to invest in film and television dramas. I'll call him for you."

Zhou Yao felt this unfeigned concern and smiled all over his face.
