In the city [entertainment circle]

36

"Not surprisingly, we should talk about it tomorrow."

Li Ruosen's voice came from the other end of the phone, and there was some sound of water. For some reason, Shen Xiao felt a little embarrassed when he heard it.

Is it too abrupt to disturb others when they are taking a bath?

The idea in Shen Xiao's head turned for a few seconds, and then he put it aside, "It's no accident, can Mr. Li get the copyright?"

"There should be no problem. In the final analysis, it is also a matter of money."

Shen Xiao understands what Li Ruosen means, buying film and television copyright, unless the author is determined not to sell it, or the price offered by the film and television company is not satisfied.Otherwise, there are very few failures.

Besides, the author and the owner of the film and television company are brothers...it would be strange if they couldn't buy it.

Shen Xiao leaned on the bed, thought for a while, and then sent a voice over.

"I have to think about the matter that Mr. Li mentioned."

He saw that Li Ruosen seemed to be typing, and sent another message, "Before I accept TV dramas or movies, I usually read the script first. If the script is interesting, I will only accept the characters if I am interested."

Of course, there is another point, the director must be reliable, not an outsider to direct.Shen Xiao didn't say this, because he saw what Li Ruoyu meant, and he wanted to make serious preparations.

You can't count on any big director for online scripts. Shen Xiao's idea is very simple, and he never cares about the big director. He requires this person to be at least professional and knowledgeable.

You can't be a pure layman to command blindly.

Li Ruosen was still typing, and after a while, a voice came over.

"Ruoyu's side is just an idea. He wants you to participate in the performance, but this matter is just his imagination." When Li Ruosen said this, he spoke slowly, as if he was thinking about something.

Shen Xiao was actually not surprised by Li Ruosen's answer. He looked at the screen of the phone, and there were only text bubbles of his conversation with Li Ruosen on it. Like Li Ruosen, Shen Xiao's avatar was also very simple, it was the wooden animal he had carved before.

He thought for a while, and finally sent a line——

【I'm waiting for your script. 】

Su Mu always thought that Li Ruosen was a mysterious person.

They have also cooperated for a few years, and the contract has been renewed a few times. She once suggested to Li Ruosen when he was writing the suspense novel that he could properly cooperate with the publishing house's publicity and do some signing activities.

Because Su Mu felt that Li Ruosen's appearance was actually a selling point.

When Li Ruosen planned to publish his first book, she had seen Li Ruosen's ID card.The hair of the young man above is not long, he looks taciturn, but he is rare and beautiful.

In fact, Su Mu has always felt that Li Ruosen might be more promising if he is not a writer, but a star. She has also seen some photos of celebrities before their debut, and they seem to be on par with Li Ruosen at best.

In other words, she felt that most people were not as pretty as Li Ruosen.

But in the end Li Ruosen still refused. He rejected the proposal to hold a book signing for him. At that time, Li Ruosen had already published two books, and the results were acceptable.

The publishing house actually wanted to praise him.The sales volume of the new set of crime suspense novels is even better than before. Although it can't compare with those real masters, it must be much better than before.

But Li Ruosen rejected all the packaging and all the opportunities to go out to promote.

Su Mu also asked him why, and he said that he was inconvenient.

Until today, she didn't understand what Li Ruosen meant by being inconvenient.

She was sitting in the cafe she had reserved before, and looked at the young man who came in with a wheelchair. There was a person behind him. Su Mu, who knew more about entertainment news, immediately understood who this person was——

Li Ruoyu.

He is also the owner of a film and television investment company who plans to buy the copyright of this novel.

Li Ruoyu, Li Ruosen.Su Mu thought about the name, and Li Ruoyu who pushed Li Ruosen in, so he couldn't help guessing their relationship.

She wanted to raise her hand to say hello, but before she waved, she met Li Ruoyu's eyes.

The man smiled at her, then pushed Li Ruosen over.

All the chairs in this cafe are wooden chairs that can be moved. Su Mu watched Li Ruoyu put the chairs on the side table, and then pushed Li Ruosen's wheelchair to sit opposite Su Mu.

"What do you want to drink?" Li Ruoyu looked at the half-empty coffee cup in front of Su Mu and asked.

"No need, Mr. Li." Su Mu said, she was not big enough to ask Li Ruoyu to buy coffee for her, she looked at Li Ruosen who was sitting in a wheelchair, and smiled at him, "After so many years of cooperation, we finally We met, let me introduce, I am Su Mu." She said and handed her business card to Li Ruosen and Li Ruoyu.

"I thought Mr. Li would ask your company's copyright department to talk to me." Su Mu said.

Li Ruoyu shrugged, his expression was relaxed, he didn't seem to be here to talk about work, but he just came here for a cup of coffee, he said to Li Ruosen beside him, "I'm going to buy coffee, what do you want?"

"I also can."

"Then let's have a glass of what they recommend here. I saw someone on the Internet recommended this." After Li Ruoyu and his brother beside him finished talking, he said to Su Mu, "It was originally for the copyright department to discuss, but I happen to be free. Just come here, my company is small, and I always do things more casually, besides, didn’t you come here because you were planning to sell the copyright? We basically agree on this. If you want to buy film and television adaptation rights, I want to buy them, as long as the price is right. It's different for everyone, and the amount I can approve is bigger." After speaking, he took out his wallet and stood up.

I said excuse me to Su Mu, and went to buy coffee.

This is actually the first time that Su Mu has talked about buying and selling copyrights in this kind of coffee shop. Before that, he was in his own company or the other party's company.

"The "Murderer" series should not be made into a popular TV series." Su Mu asked, but generally speaking, she would not ask this question.But looking at the conversation between the two just now, Su Mu has concluded that the two are related, so he wants to find out some inside information with Li Ruosen.

"This should be adapted into an online drama." Li Ruosen said, he looks much more beautiful than his ID card, which is normal, Su Mu thought, most people are more beautiful than their ID card.

Compared with the somewhat youthful face on the ID card, Li Ruosen's current appearance is more calm and stable.

The coat on her body was also tailored to fit well... Also, the young master of the Li family, Su Mu thought, now she can guess who Li Ruosen really is.

No wonder he was unwilling to come out, and he was not interested in promoting his price increase.

For Su Mu, whether the novel is sold as a star TV series, an online drama, or a movie doesn't make any difference to her.

What she sells is the film and television adaptation rights, and she is responsible for letting the company and the author get the copyright fee for the film and television adaptation. As for what the film and television company thinks.

It's none of her business either.

After all, film and television companies are hoarding IP on a large scale now, and many of the sold ones don't know when they will be released.

How about the reverse side of the shot, I don't know.

Su Mu watched Li Ruoyu approaching with coffee, and handed a cup of iced coffee to Li Ruosen, "His family's signboard." He said, and put a glass of juice in front of Su Mu, "This coffee is iced. It won't taste good anymore."

Then he took down his cup, "What's your psychological price."

The company has an approximate figure for the film and television adaptation rights of its authors. Li Ruosen's books are not the best-selling ones, so the price is not too expensive.

She reported a number to Li Ruoyu.

There was no response from Li Ruosen. Also, the money was not enough to buy a few watches on his wrist. Su Mu couldn't help but think when he looked at the watch on Li Ruosen's wrist.

Li Ruosen didn't respond, and Li Ruoyu naturally didn't respond either. He felt that the price was reasonable and acceptable, so he directly expressed to Su Mu that he was willing to sign a contract at this price.

Because Su Mu came to discuss a preliminary cooperation this time, there is no way to sign a contract for the time being. After Su Mu returns, he will report to the company's upper management to draw up a contract.

But basically there is no problem.

After taking a sip of the juice Li Ruoyu bought, Su Mu looked at Li Ruosen who was sitting opposite him.

When she was looking for Li Ruosen on the contact tool, she just wanted to inquire about the progress of his new book.After all, it has been more than a year since his last book.

It's just that she didn't expect that Li Ruosen's place was so close to her city.

In other words, it is very close to their company headquarters.

And she didn't take her annual leave this year, so after thinking about it, Su Mu wanted to meet Li Ruosen.But when she proposed this matter, she also felt that there was little hope.

Because she felt that Li Ruosen probably didn't like meeting outsiders.The previous few invitations, no matter whether it was to participate in the author's activities or invite him to the publishing house's activities...he always refused.

Unexpectedly, not only met Li Ruosen, but also Li Ruoyu, signed a film and television copyright, and learned a big secret... It can be said that this year's annual leave is very rich.

Su Mu looked calm at first glance, but in fact he was roaring inwardly.

She looked at Li Ruoyu who was eager to leave, and asked Li Ruosen who was drinking coffee beside him, "We haven't seen each other for several years, why don't we chat for a while?"

Hearing this, Li Ruosen put down the coffee in his hand, "I'll chat with Miss Su for a while, you go and do your work first." He said softly to Li Ruoyu who was beside him.

Su Mu saw Li Ruoyu whisper something in his ear, then stood up and said, "Remember to ask Wu Tao to pick you up." After saying that, it nodded to Su Mu, said some polite words, and left the coffee shop directly.

There were only two people left in the coffee shop. Su Mu looked at Li Ruosen. She didn't know why, but when she saw Li Ruosen, she became nervous. Maybe it was because he had a strong aura of a rich man?

Su Mu thought wildly.

"Have you ever been to this city?" Li Ruosen asked suddenly.

This city is so close to Su Mu's base camp, it would be nonsense to say that she has never been there, so she nodded, "I have been here a few times."

"I haven't been here much, take me for a stroll." He said to Su Mu, "About the new book, I actually have an idea to tell you."
