Guan Lingling knew that the audience of the company's drama this time was relatively wide. If it really adapted the original Danmei novel, it would definitely be changed into a romance drama. For fans of the original drama like her, this is absolutely unbearable!

But because the boss asked questions, she had no choice but to answer truthfully: "The main plot is copied from the third story 'Whispering Words' in "Tales of the Bronze Mirror", which tells the story of the clerk An Zhe and the company president Gu Ruiyan. "

Xie Buqing directly finalized: "I will never agree with the previous book. You can read the book she said. If it can be adapted, then sign it; if it is not suitable, then find it again. There are so many good original works in the world. Why do we have to use plagiarism? Is the budget given to you by the head office not enough?"

Zhao Qianhe quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, we didn't think about it, correct it immediately, correct it immediately!"

After Xie Buqing and Secretary Liu left together, Guan Lingling was still shocked by the boss's clear understanding of righteousness and decisive attitude, and heard the project leader secretly poking at the branch manager: "What should I do, the signing date has actually been agreed over there... ..."

Zhao Qian and his indifferent face: "There is no formal contract. It was just a negotiation before. It's fine to reject it. What should I do?"

The project leader was helpless: "Uncle..."

"Okay, the vice president directly said no, what else can you do?" Zhao Qianhe called Guan Lingling, "From tomorrow on, you will be Lili's assistant and take charge of this project together."

Guan Lingling was flattered, and after watching everyone leave, she walked out of the meeting room in fear and returned to her post.

A few days later, Ji Li heard from the editor that a company wanted to buy the copyright, and he was slightly surprised: "Someone actually plans to use my novel to make a TV series?"

Amused by the really surprised tone in Ji Li's mouth, the editor Tao Zi smiled and asked, "Why, are you so unconfident in your own novel?"

"I'm a little unconfident... I used to think that it would be enough if someone would like to watch it, and then I thought it would be fine if I could publish it under my pen name, but I never thought that my story could be made into a TV series, it's like a dream."

"I'm just here to talk to you. The specific matters will not be determined until we meet and negotiate the day after tomorrow."

After finishing the call with Tao Zi, Ji Li cheered and fell back, lying on the bed with a smirk, calling his sister to tell her the good news.

While congratulating him, the seasoned Bai Muyu reminded Ji Li: "I haven't officially signed the contract yet. Although it's a good thing that novels can sell film and television copyrights, we can't just sell them for money. It also depends on the sincerity of the other party. If it’s the same as Xinxin’s movie, it’s better not to make it.”

Xinxin is a mutual friend of Ji Li and Bai Muyu in the online literature circle. She was short of money for a while, so she reluctantly sold the film and television rights of a novel. In the end, the movie she made was a mess, and fans of the original book were disappointed. To the extreme, there are no movie fans at all, and even actor fans are complaining about what the director and screenwriter played for his idol.

"Well, I will treat it carefully." After calming down from the initial joy, Ji Li turned to another topic, "Sister, don't forget to bring me a cup of double skin milk when you come back. I want to add red beans."

Ji Li finally rejected Xie's company, because the other party's request was to change the sex of the two protagonists in his novel, that is, to change one of them into a girl. He couldn't accept this at all, so he declined the high price proposed by the other party. Copyright fee, continue to be his little author on the Internet.

Xie Buqing was reading the fourth volume of Fei Seqiu's "Tales of the Bronze Mirror" when he got the news of the refusal, and was a little surprised that the other party would refuse: "Didn't I say that the issue of fees is negotiable, how could it be so clearly rejected?"

Liu Lehai said with some regret: "It's not because of the price, it's because the other party can't accept changing the gender of the character in his book, and it's impossible for us to produce a TV script with the protagonist's homosexual love..."

Xie Buqing lowered her eyes and pondered: "But this is really a good script, I believe my brother will also like it very much."

Liu Lehai still has a lot of things to deal with, so after reporting this matter, he turned around and planned to leave the office, when he was about to go out, Xie Buqing called him: "Give me Fei Seqiu's contact information, I will talk to him personally. "

"Eh?" Liu Lehai finally revealed a surprised expression, and looked at Xie Buqing, "Okay. Mr. Xie, you really care about this script."

Xie Buqing smiled lightly: "I always feel that it is rare to encounter such an interesting script, so it is a pity to give up like this."

Of course he would not tell Secretary Liu what the real reason was.

Although he was drunk at the time, he still remembered what he had done afterwards, but he only remembered roughly—meeting a man who called himself a devil, making his first wish, and following the instructions of the devil to open the Weibo live broadcast after returning home.

I can't remember the other details clearly, after all, I really drank too much at that time.

The devil came to him again yesterday and warned him that he must win the film and television adaptation rights of "Tales in the Bronze Mirror". Xie Buqing asked the other party why, and the reason the other party said still rang in his ears.

"If you really want to meet your destined lover earlier in this life, just do as I say, there are so many reasons."

After getting Fei Seqiu's phone number from Secretary Liu, Xie Buqing dialed it immediately. When connected, a soft male voice came: "Hello~"

Xie Buqing was stunned, why did he find this voice so familiar!

"...I'll hang up if there's nothing else to do." After waiting for a long time, the other party didn't say anything, Ji Li thought it might be a harassing call or the other party dialed the wrong number.

Xie Buqing hurriedly said: "Wait! Is it the author Fei Seqiu?"

"Well... I am, may I ask who you are?"

"Xie Buqing. Quanta Film and Television Company is a subsidiary of mine. When I was talking to you about copyright acquisition today, the person I sent was rejected by you. I want to ask myself, is there really no other room for maneuver?"

Ji Li replied earnestly: "I'm writing Tanmei, if what you need is a romance drama, you shouldn't have come to me from the very beginning."

Xie Buqing also replied seriously: "But I really like the stories you write, and they are very suitable for filming."

Ji Li was slightly surprised: "Have you seen it?"

Xie Buqing smiled: "Of course I have to read the original work myself to know whether it is worth my money to buy the right to use it."

Ji Li pursed his lips: "Then you should also be aware that if the hero in the story is changed to a girl, there will be unexplainable flaws in logic, and the characterization will also deviate from the original design. I don't want to see it being replaced It’s changed beyond recognition.”

"We can discuss this further."

"How to discuss? I will not agree to change the gender."

"Then don't change it. There is always another way, or... Let's make an appointment to meet and have a good talk. It's inconvenient to say on the phone."

Ji Li hesitated: "Okay."

After making an appointment for tomorrow's meeting time and meeting place, Ji Li first went to check if the number was the phone number of the CEO of Quanta Film and Television Company after hanging up the phone. He contacted the number on the business card left by Secretary Liu, and he was relieved only after confirming it.

If a consensus can be reached in the end and there are not too many revisions, he is still quite willing that Quanta Films can make his works film and television. Last night, I discussed the company's previous works with my sister. There are not many produced, and most of them maintain a certain level. Some even took the original to new heights.

Ji Li didn't like to make others wait for him, so he came to the agreed milk tea shop early - this milk tea shop was opened by Bai Muyu, selling drinks, writing articles, and living a comfortable life.

While digging for his favorite red bean double-skin milk with a spoon, Ji Li rested his chin on one hand and stared at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. This quiet place is all because Bai Muyu likes the beautiful scenery here, which makes her feel happy.

On the lawn dotted with sporadic purple in the green, unknown thin and short trees stretched out their branches, revealing gaps, and the warm sunlight pouring down poured in. Ji Li closed his eyes and felt the leisurely and quiet atmosphere.

There were no other customers at the milk tea shop at eight or nine o'clock. Xie Buqing saw the young man in the floor-to-ceiling window enjoying the warmth of the early morning burnout. He stopped in place and forgot to move forward for a while.

With the wind blowing, the branches swayed, and among the mottled tree shadows, the young man suddenly opened his eyes, inadvertently met Xie Buqing's gaze, smiled faintly, looked away, and lowered his head to eat the remaining red beans in the cup.

Xie Buqing froze in place, pressing his right hand against his beating heart, confused by the strange feeling in his heart at this moment, feeling this inexplicable emotion mixed with being unable to breathe for the first time, filling in the original missing place, and supplying oxygen for a while insufficient.

Slowly walking towards the milk tea shop, his eyes fell on Ji Li who was the only one sitting in the shop intentionally or unintentionally. When the doors and windows blocked Ji Li's face, his originally leisurely pace became hasty. It was only when Li appeared in his eyes again that he slowed down.

Being stared at for a long time, the sixth sense forced Ji Li to raise his head and look towards the door, and saw the man who had accidentally looked at him walking towards him, the distance gradually narrowed, Ji Li raised his head slightly to see Xie Buqing s face.

"Excuse me, is it Big Scarlet Qiu?"

It was the first time that Xie Buqing asked someone's name so cautiously, and he didn't know the other person's real name and only remembered the pseudonym. He regretted why he didn't ask Liu Lehai more before.

Ji Li hurriedly stood up: "It's me, I didn't expect Mr. Xie to be so..." Young.

After thinking about it, I felt it was wrong, and it seemed that I had the intention of burying Xie Buqing when I said it, so I stopped talking in time and smiled apologetically.

Xie Buqing and Ji Li sat down face to face, looking at Ji Li's warm smile, he felt that the boredom of the past few days disappeared in an instant, he joked: "We talked yesterday, my voice should not sound old."

The author has something to say: search for the bits of ink that have not been returned to the Chinese teacher in my stomach, after all, the first encounter of love at first sight should be so beautiful.
