The Almighty Actor's Vest has fallen again
Chapter 129 12 Updates
This time Xie Lin not only entered the group by himself, but also brought Xu Qingling with him.
In the current market, if an idol wants to develop, it is inevitable to step into the film and television industry. Of course, most of them will be criticized by netizens.
In order to develop steadily, Xie Lin led Xu Qingling to start as a supporting role and accumulate experience.
The heroine of this movie is still Xia Zhiruan. This is the third time they have collaborated. When they finished filming "Become My Nemesis" before, Xia Zhiruan mentioned that they are in contact with a new script. Unexpectedly, this script is "" secret".
Xia Zhiruan's appearance is sweet and charming, her acting skills are not very good, but she is still the type who is willing to endure hardships. She has taken acting lessons in private for more than a year, and her current acting level cannot be said to be very good , the pass line is there.
Coupled with the director and Xie Lin to guide, I believe that after this movie is broadcast, everyone will be amazed by her acting skills.
Compared with Xia Zhiruan, Xu Qingling's guidance will be more difficult.
There are not many scenes, a total of more than [-] scenes. It is a rich second generation who appeared to testify, but the characters are quite interesting.
Xie Lin was holding a script in his hand, and was there to guide Xu Qingling, "When you smile for a while, you must have a cheap expression, and you must make people want to beat you up."
Xu Qingling said with a troubled face, "But I can't be cheap."
Xie Lin said: "If you can't be cheap, you have to be cheap."
As he spoke, Xie Lin even made a demonstration by himself.
Xu Qingling still felt that the difficulty was a bit high.
Xie Lin explained again: "You have been beaten by your parents since you were a child, right? Suddenly one day you got full marks in the exam, do you want to take the test paper back and show it to your parents?"
Xu Qing Lingkuang nodded: "I think." When he was a child, he was really beaten by his father a lot because of his studies, and it feels like his ass is still hot when he thinks about it now.
Xie Lin pointed again: "Imagine the shocked expressions on your parents' faces when they saw your test paper, and then imagine the frightened expression on your face when you finally hardened your heart."
Xu Qingling immediately substituted in, "Xie Lin, I seem to have a feeling, I want to shake."
Just thinking about that scene makes him want to float, this will give him a tail, and he can shake it to the sky.
Director Liu is filming the female lead here, and just finished filming an intermission.
Seeing that Xie Lin was seriously lecturing to Xu Qingling, he was so relieved that his face was full of loving eyes like an old father.
It was indeed hard work to tell Xu Qingling.
Director Liu also gave Xu Qingling a play once, and he was almost pissed off that time. Looking at a child who is quite transparent, how can he have such low acting talent? I don't understand why.
At that time, Xie Lin asked him to give it a try, and Director Liu happily left the job to Xie Lin.
I don't know what Xie Lin said about the drama, Xu Qingling can always save a lot of trouble when he has it in his hands.
Director Liu is also happy to see Qicheng has someone to help him share the work.
After filming in the crew for a few days, Xie Lin originally thought that to join the crew, he only needs to have time to film, have nothing to do with exam papers, or give lectures to Xu Qingling.
As a result, less than a week after joining the crew, news came out that the investor had withdrawn their capital.
Everyone was surprised to hear this news. Generally, the withdrawal of capital by the crew is due to some major accident, or the company's funds cannot be linked.
The whole crew was suddenly plunged into gloom and mist.
Xie Lin was watching the crew, and was playing with Xia Zhiruan when he heard the news.
When I heard the news, I was quite dumbfounded.
What he was confused about was not what to do after the funds were withdrawn, but why the crews he met were so poor?
Either there is no money to invest, or the capital is withdrawn halfway.
Xia Zhiruan took the script and leaned in front of Xie Lin, and whispered, "Why don't you become an investor in this movie?"
Xie Lin replied: "No money."
Xia Zhiruan said: "How can there be no money? The total investment of this movie is only [-] million. Didn't you make a lot of money last time "Above Glory"?"
Xie Lin said: "Isn't it all invested in the last movie?"
Xia Zhiruan nodded: "That's true, why are the few plays we collaborated with all short of funds?"
Xie Lin rubbed his chin, thinking about how much money he still had that could be embezzled, and said, "But it seems that there should be some if you squeeze it."
The movie "Secret" is not a sci-fi movie that requires a lot of money. The previous investors only invested [-] million yuan, and the most expensive actor in the movie is himself.
If he invests by himself, he doesn't need any money, and he can share in the film as an actor's salary. In addition, he can still contribute tens of millions, not counting his own salary, tens of millions should be enough.
Xia Zhiruan was originally joking, but Xie Lin did not expect Xie Lin to agree, so he couldn't help but envy him, "You are really rich."
Although Xia Zhiruan debuted in a women's group, her girl group is not considered muddled but not very popular either.
It was because of the TV series "Above Glory" that it became popular, but unfortunately, the TV series was more male-oriented. Even though the price of this TV series has been raised, she can still get tens of millions of dollars for a single movie. It is still a little far behind Xie Lin's popularity.
Xie Lin said, "When the movie "Crossing My Enemy" is released, you will have a lot of money."
Xia Zhiruan laughed immediately and said, "I have been comforted."
Xie Lin said: "I'm not comforting you, I'm just stating the facts." That's the main mission movie, and it's sure to be a big hit.
Xie Lin originally wanted to go over and tell Director Liu that he could make up for this funding gap, but at this moment the producer walked over excitedly and said with a happy face: "Good news, someone just wanted to invest in our film gone."
Others asked curiously, "So fast?"
It didn't take long for the previous investors to withdraw their funds, and someone made up for it so soon, as if they were squatting here.
Everyone looked at the producer together.
Director Liu asked, "Who is the investor?"
The producer glanced at Xie Lin, and then said, "Director Liu, I have something to tell you, come here."
Twenty minutes later, Director Liu came out with a heavy face and looked at Xie Lin.
Xie Lin guessed and asked, "You have something to tell me?"
Director Liu nodded and said, "Let's talk in the lounge inside."
Xie Lin put down the script in his hand, got up and entered the lounge.
Director Liu stood there and opened his mouth several times but failed to speak smoothly, with a very embarrassed look on his face.
Xie Lin asked: "Director Liu, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Director Liu looked away a little, and finally said very embarrassedly: "Xie Lin, just now the producer said that the crew has changed investors, but that investor wants to bring actors to replace your role."
Xie Lin's expression was relatively calm, as if he had guessed it long ago, and asked, "Who is the new investor?"
Director Liu replied: "It's Cikun Film Company. They are willing to invest 1 million yuan to make up for the previous hole. The premise is that the leading role will be replaced by Qin Neng, who their company has recently promoted."
Xie Lin asked again: "Except for him wanting to replace me, does anyone else want to replace me?"
Director Liu said: "There are also Xia Zhiruan, Peiqin, Xu Qingling..."
Director Liu reported more than ten names in a row, and almost changed all the main actors of the crew.
Xie Lin asked: "Replacing so many actors, do you think the crew can continue to work normally for a while? It means that all the hard work of our crew was in vain. And my acting skills must be better than Qin Neng."
Acting skills are Xie Lin's great confidence, even if he plays with old drama bones, Xie Lin can always have the upper hand, let alone his peers.
Director Liu is of course aware of the problems Xie Lin mentioned, but now many plays are not the same as before, and the director has the final say on everything.
More producers, investors, producers, etc., the director is more like a hired tool.
In the absence of funds, he can only compromise.
Xie Lin knew what he was thinking just by looking at him, and asked earnestly, "If the funds are sufficient, are you willing to keep the current team members?"
Director Liu nodded and said, "Of course, we have been working together for several days, and we have developed a tacit understanding. If we start from the beginning, we will have to run in again." Then Director Liu sighed: "But this is not up to me. The copyright is not in my hands, these things can only be agreed by the investor and the producer."
Director Liu is indeed quite satisfied with Xie Lin.
Now there are not many actors like Xie Lin who are willing to endure hardships, have a good image, and good acting skills.
Xie Lin said, "Then I..."
Before Xie Lin finished speaking, the door of the lounge was pushed in, and there was a man in a black suit standing at the door, tall and handsome, with handsome features.
There was a bit of coldness on his expressionless face.
With one hand in his pocket and his hair combed back, his whole person exudes a cool and cold temperament.
Next to him was a man who looked like an assistant, with a briefcase in his hand.
As soon as Gu Shaoting came in, he said, "I heard that the crew is short of funds. I wonder if the 2 million investment is enough?"
Director Liu: "..."
Xie Lin: "..."
Director Liu took Gu Shaoting's assistant out to discuss investment matters.
Xie Lin and Gu Shaoting were left in the lounge.
The two of them haven't seen each other since the last time Gu Shaoting had an accident at the hospital. Although it's only been less than a month, it seems like decades have passed.
Last time, Gu Shaoting's downfall and misery were still fresh in his eyes, but looking at him now, he revealed the temperament of a domineering president in the original novel.
Xie Lin was sitting, holding a hot water bottle on his lap with both hands, and asked, "Why are you here suddenly?"
Gu Shaoting folded his hands, put his hands on his knees and said: "There just happened to be a project to discuss nearby. I heard that you are filming in this crew, so I stopped by to visit the class."
Xie Lin asked: "Then we saw that our film crew was short of money, how about investing?"
Gu Shaoting said: "That's not true, I invested only because I was optimistic that this project would make money."
Xie Lin smiled and asked, "How do you know that this project will definitely make money?"
Gu Shaoting said: "Because I believe in your vision, the script you fancy will definitely not be bad."
Xie Lin asked, "How have you been recently?"
Gu Shaoting said: "I terminated the contract with the company. Now that I'm working in the company, I should focus on work in the future. This movie is the first project I invested in. You can't let me lose money."
Xie Lin said with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "Who would bet on an actor."
Gu Shaoting said, "Because I think you can definitely do it."
After that, Xie Lin chatted with Gu Shaoting again. Compared with his previous personality, Xie Lin could clearly feel that Gu Shaoting's temper was much colder than before.
This kind of indifference is not the same as before, with a bland expression and unwillingness to participate in things, but the attitude and eyes that look down on the world.
Although he didn't release such a feeling when facing Xie Lin, it was very obvious when he was looking at others.
The awkward, cold and naive Gu Shaoting in my memory is finally gone.
In the end, Xie Lin asked Gu Shaoting to invest only 5000 million yuan, and Xie Lin himself invested an additional [-] million yuan.
The main reason is that there may be many such shortages of funds, and he needs to find opportunities to earn more now.
After Gu Shaoting left, Lu Sinian came in, holding a freshly charged hot water bottle in his hand and replaced the cold one in Xie Lin's hand.
He asked casually, "I didn't expect Gu Shaoting to come to see you."
Xie Lin put his hands into the hot water bottle, and the warmth was transmitted to his body through the palms of his hands again. After responding to Lu Sinian's words, he said: "He is optimistic about this movie project, so he came to invest."
Lu Sinian found out the charger to charge the other cold water bottle, and said, "I see that Gu Shaoting seems to like you quite a bit."
Xie Lin said, "We are friends."
Lu Sinian turned around and said, "But he doesn't necessarily just regard you as a friend, don't I feel that he has different feelings for you?"
Xie Lin looked at him and said seriously: "I feel it. But I also know that he understands that it is impossible between us, and he will restrain his emotions."
Lu Sinian: "What if he can't restrain himself? He is the protagonist of the original novel, and his identity is much stronger and smarter than Xie Yuhe. What if he... really wants to be with you?"
Xie Lin pursed his lips and thought for a while before saying, "That can also be considered. I may not be able to go back after completing all the tasks. If I can find someone in this world who I like and treats me well, it's not too bad."
Lu Sinian's eyes hidden under the phoenix eyes flickered a few times and said, "Are you serious?"
Xie Lin said with a hint of playfulness in his eyes: "Of course. He is rich and good-looking. If I lean on him, no one in this world would dare to bully me."
Lu Sinian said: "But in the original book, he was paired with Xie Yuhe."
Xie Lin said: "But I have solved Xie Yuhe, and I have broken the plot power of the original book, so this problem no longer exists."
On Lu Sinian's warm and jade-like face, he said with a little seriousness: "I don't think you are suitable."
Xie Lin said with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "I didn't say that I must be with him, I just said that I have no objection and let nature take its course."
Seeing that Lu Sinian still wanted to talk, Xie Lin interrupted: "Okay, Sinian, I have to go out and prepare for filming."
Lu Sinian looked at Xie Lin's leaving figure, his beautiful phoenix eyes were slightly squinted, and there was a light shining inside.
The film crew recruited a new investor, and the news of the rejection of Cikun Film Company's investment soon spread back to Cikun Company.
When the general manager of Cikun Film Company knew about this, he almost lost his temper.
If other companies rob it, they may still have the ability to challenge it.
But this is Gu's Group, and I heard that it was Gu Shaoting, the sole heir of Gu's Group, who came forward to invest.
If you fight against Gu's group, isn't that courting death?
But it made them give up and was reluctant.
The reason why Cikun Film Company wants to invest in the movie "Secret" is because this movie is a popular IP with many fans. After market analysis, the return on investment of this movie is quite high.
The second is to intercept Xie Lin's resources.
This person dared to attack the people of their Cikun film company, causing them to lose a first-line student. If they don't teach some lessons, everyone will do this in the long run, what is the prestige of their Cikun film company.
Unexpectedly, Xie Lin could get close to the big tree of the Gu family.
The general manager thought about it and finally decided to go to the author of "The Secret".
Cikun Film Company cannot directly confront the Gu Group.
But as far as he knows, when the original author of this novel, Mo Yan, sold the copyright, one of the items was that the novel would become a film and television drama in the future. If the original work was changed to more than 5%, or the selected characters were too different from the original work , the author has the right to withdraw the copyright.
They can find a way to get Mo Yan to use this contract to say that Xie Lin does not conform to the image of the original work, and take back the copyright.
The funds are sufficient, and the crew worked very hard to shoot the movie.
For this filming, Xie Lin brought Xu Qingling into the crew, knowing that he had no acting experience, so he was assigned a very small role at the beginning, with not many scenes, and with himself as the guide, it was not a big problem.
When Xie Lin received the news from Ci Kun Film Company, he happened to be instructing Xu Qingling on how to act in the next scene.
Sitting on the side to rest, Director Liu couldn't help sighing to Xia Zhiruan: "With Xie Lin here, I feel a lot more relaxed. No wonder Gao Yuan has been pushing him hard to me before."
Acting is good, he can endure hardships, he has many fans, and sometimes he can help guide newcomers and give them lectures. Where can I find such a good actor.
Fortunately, the people from Cikun Film Company were not changed at that time.
As soon as Xie Lin finished telling Xu Qingling about the play, he turned his head and met Director Liu's loving eyes.
Xie Lin: "..."
Before he could think about it, a figure stood in front of him, preventing Director Liu from looking at him. Lu Sinian handed the mobile phone in his hand to Xie Lin and said, "There is a message coming in."
Xie Lin picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar QQ account who wanted to add him as a friend, and the note message was 'I want to buy the copyright in your hand'.
Xie Lin refused without even thinking about it. The copyright of his third new book has not been released yet, but if you want to buy the copyright, you must first contact the website and contact him directly. There are likely to be traps in every case.
The other party was not discouraged, and added two more times. Xie Lin originally wanted to block it, but saw the latest verification message from the other party saying, "I am the person in charge of Ci Kun Film Company, and I want to buy the copyright in your hand."
Now Xie Lin became interested, found a seat and sat down.
He hugged the hot water bottle next to him on his lap, took his mobile phone and clicked to agree to the friend request.
As soon as the other party added friends, he introduced himself straight to the point: [Hello, I am the person in charge of Ci Kun Film Company. Our company is very fond of the film and television copyright of the novel "Secret" in your hand and wants to buy it out. . 】
Xie Lin sent a message back: [Don't you know that the copyright of this novel has already been sold?In preparation for shooting. 】
The other party replied: [I know.But we also know that in the contract you signed at the beginning, if the plot adaptation rate exceeds 5%, or if the protagonist's image is too different from the original work, you have the right to take back the copyright. 】
Xie Lin: [The script is adapted by me, no problem. I have read all the protagonists, and I think it fits well with the original. 】
The other party said: [Don't worry.We know that you originally sold the packaged copyright of this book for 4000 million yuan. Now our company is willing to pay 1000 million yuan to buy the film and television copyright. In addition, our company will also bear the loss caused by your copyright withdrawal to the crew. What do you think? 】
Xie Lin quickly sent a message to ask: [Then, among the currently selected actors, which image does not match the original work? 】
In an office, an assistant to the general manager saw this reply, rubbed his hands excitedly and reported to the general manager: "Mr. Yu, Mo Yan seems to be loose, and he should go to take back "Secret" This is copyrighted."
With a cigarette in his hand, Mr. Yu looked as if he had expected it, and said: "Of course, he must have made money by buying the film and television copyright in his hand for 1000 million yuan. He made a lot of money by writing books for a whole year." The manuscript fee is not as good as selling the copyright once, I believe he will not be so stupid."
General Assistant Yu nodded and said, "That's right, when we get the copyright of this novel, we can proceed to the second step, replacing Xie Lin."
Mr. Yu was very satisfied with this answer and said: "Go back to him quickly, and finalize the matter early."
General Assistant Yu quickly typed out the reply he had prepared long ago, and sent it: [Xie Lin.Of course, the images of the others are not very good. After our company buys the copyright, it is estimated that there will be another wave of actors.But the company wants you to take back the copyright on the grounds that Xie Lin does not conform to the image of the original work. 】
Xie Lin pursed her lips and wanted to laugh, this is a good idea from Ci Kun Film Company.
If he really takes back the copyright for this reason, it will inevitably damage Xie Lin's image.
At that time, Xie Lin's fans might also attack Mo Yan's readers.
And Mo Yan has a lot of readers, so how can he let his favorite author be sprayed in vain, and the two sides will definitely have to pinch each other when the time comes.
After all, Mo Yan is just an author who hides behind the computer and codes, and usually does not show his face.
In the end, it was Xie Lin's image that was really affected by this incident. In the future, he will be labeled as an actor who was disliked by the original author.
It's a pity that Ci Kun Film Company wanted to punish people but didn't get any good news.
Xie Lin typed quickly on the phone keyboard with his fingers, and replied: [I forgot to introduce myself to you, I am Xie Lin, and my pen name is Mo Yan. 】
In the current market, if an idol wants to develop, it is inevitable to step into the film and television industry. Of course, most of them will be criticized by netizens.

After that, Xie Lin chatted with Gu Shaoting again. Compared with his previous personality, Xie Lin could clearly feel that Gu Shaoting's temper was much colder than before.
This kind of indifference is not the same as before, with a bland expression and unwillingness to participate in things, but the attitude and eyes that look down on the world.
Although he didn't release such a feeling when facing Xie Lin, it was very obvious when he was looking at others.
The awkward, cold and naive Gu Shaoting in my memory is finally gone.
In the end, Xie Lin asked Gu Shaoting to invest only 5000 million yuan, and Xie Lin himself invested an additional [-] million yuan.
The main reason is that there may be many such shortages of funds, and he needs to find opportunities to earn more now.
After Gu Shaoting left, Lu Sinian came in, holding a freshly charged hot water bottle in his hand and replaced the cold one in Xie Lin's hand.
He asked casually, "I didn't expect Gu Shaoting to come to see you."
Xie Lin put his hands into the hot water bottle, and the warmth was transmitted to his body through the palms of his hands again. After responding to Lu Sinian's words, he said: "He is optimistic about this movie project, so he came to invest."
Lu Sinian found out the charger to charge the other cold water bottle, and said, "I see that Gu Shaoting seems to like you quite a bit."
Xie Lin said, "We are friends."
Lu Sinian turned around and said, "But he doesn't necessarily just regard you as a friend, don't I feel that he has different feelings for you?"
Xie Lin looked at him and said seriously: "I feel it. But I also know that he understands that it is impossible between us, and he will restrain his emotions."
Lu Sinian: "What if he can't restrain himself? He is the protagonist of the original novel, and his identity is much stronger and smarter than Xie Yuhe. What if he... really wants to be with you?"
Xie Lin pursed his lips and thought for a while before saying, "That can also be considered. I may not be able to go back after completing all the tasks. If I can find someone in this world who I like and treats me well, it's not too bad."
Lu Sinian's eyes hidden under the phoenix eyes flickered a few times and said, "Are you serious?"
Xie Lin said with a hint of playfulness in his eyes: "Of course. He is rich and good-looking. If I lean on him, no one in this world would dare to bully me."
Lu Sinian said: "But in the original book, he was paired with Xie Yuhe."
Xie Lin said: "But I have solved Xie Yuhe, and I have broken the plot power of the original book, so this problem no longer exists."
On Lu Sinian's warm and jade-like face, he said with a little seriousness: "I don't think you are suitable."
Xie Lin said with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "I didn't say that I must be with him, I just said that I have no objection and let nature take its course."
Seeing that Lu Sinian still wanted to talk, Xie Lin interrupted: "Okay, Sinian, I have to go out and prepare for filming."
Lu Sinian looked at Xie Lin's leaving figure, his beautiful phoenix eyes were slightly squinted, and there was a light shining inside.
The film crew recruited a new investor, and the news of the rejection of Cikun Film Company's investment soon spread back to Cikun Company.
When the general manager of Cikun Film Company knew about this, he almost lost his temper.
If other companies rob it, they may still have the ability to challenge it.
But this is Gu's Group, and I heard that it was Gu Shaoting, the sole heir of Gu's Group, who came forward to invest.
If you fight against Gu's group, isn't that courting death?
But it made them give up and was reluctant.
The reason why Cikun Film Company wants to invest in the movie "Secret" is because this movie is a popular IP with many fans. After market analysis, the return on investment of this movie is quite high.
The second is to intercept Xie Lin's resources.
This person dared to attack the people of their Cikun film company, causing them to lose a first-line student. If they don't teach some lessons, everyone will do this in the long run, what is the prestige of their Cikun film company.
Unexpectedly, Xie Lin could get close to the big tree of the Gu family.
The general manager thought about it and finally decided to go to the author of "The Secret".
Cikun Film Company cannot directly confront the Gu Group.
But as far as he knows, when the original author of this novel, Mo Yan, sold the copyright, one of the items was that the novel would become a film and television drama in the future. If the original work was changed to more than 5%, or the selected characters were too different from the original work , the author has the right to withdraw the copyright.
They can find a way to get Mo Yan to use this contract to say that Xie Lin does not conform to the image of the original work, and take back the copyright.
The funds are sufficient, and the crew worked very hard to shoot the movie.
For this filming, Xie Lin brought Xu Qingling into the crew, knowing that he had no acting experience, so he was assigned a very small role at the beginning, with not many scenes, and with himself as the guide, it was not a big problem.
When Xie Lin received the news from Ci Kun Film Company, he happened to be instructing Xu Qingling on how to act in the next scene.
Sitting on the side to rest, Director Liu couldn't help sighing to Xia Zhiruan: "With Xie Lin here, I feel a lot more relaxed. No wonder Gao Yuan has been pushing him hard to me before."
Acting is good, he can endure hardships, he has many fans, and sometimes he can help guide newcomers and give them lectures. Where can I find such a good actor.
Fortunately, the people from Cikun Film Company were not changed at that time.
As soon as Xie Lin finished telling Xu Qingling about the play, he turned his head and met Director Liu's loving eyes.
Xie Lin: "..."
Before he could think about it, a figure stood in front of him, preventing Director Liu from looking at him. Lu Sinian handed the mobile phone in his hand to Xie Lin and said, "There is a message coming in."
Xie Lin picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar QQ account who wanted to add him as a friend, and the note message was 'I want to buy the copyright in your hand'.
Xie Lin refused without even thinking about it. The copyright of his third new book has not been released yet, but if you want to buy the copyright, you must first contact the website and contact him directly. There are likely to be traps in every case.
The other party was not discouraged, and added two more times. Xie Lin originally wanted to block it, but saw the latest verification message from the other party saying, "I am the person in charge of Ci Kun Film Company, and I want to buy the copyright in your hand."
Now Xie Lin became interested, found a seat and sat down.
He hugged the hot water bottle next to him on his lap, took his mobile phone and clicked to agree to the friend request.
As soon as the other party added friends, he introduced himself straight to the point: [Hello, I am the person in charge of Ci Kun Film Company. Our company is very fond of the film and television copyright of the novel "Secret" in your hand and wants to buy it out. . 】
Xie Lin sent a message back: [Don't you know that the copyright of this novel has already been sold?In preparation for shooting. 】
The other party replied: [I know.But we also know that in the contract you signed at the beginning, if the plot adaptation rate exceeds 5%, or if the protagonist's image is too different from the original work, you have the right to take back the copyright. 】
Xie Lin: [The script is adapted by me, no problem. I have read all the protagonists, and I think it fits well with the original. 】
The other party said: [Don't worry.We know that you originally sold the packaged copyright of this book for 4000 million yuan. Now our company is willing to pay 1000 million yuan to buy the film and television copyright. In addition, our company will also bear the loss caused by your copyright withdrawal to the crew. What do you think? 】
Xie Lin quickly sent a message to ask: [Then, among the currently selected actors, which image does not match the original work? 】
In an office, an assistant to the general manager saw this reply, rubbed his hands excitedly and reported to the general manager: "Mr. Yu, Mo Yan seems to be loose, and he should go to take back "Secret" This is copyrighted."
With a cigarette in his hand, Mr. Yu looked as if he had expected it, and said: "Of course, he must have made money by buying the film and television copyright in his hand for 1000 million yuan. He made a lot of money by writing books for a whole year." The manuscript fee is not as good as selling the copyright once, I believe he will not be so stupid."
General Assistant Yu nodded and said, "That's right, when we get the copyright of this novel, we can proceed to the second step, replacing Xie Lin."
Mr. Yu was very satisfied with this answer and said: "Go back to him quickly, and finalize the matter early."
General Assistant Yu quickly typed out the reply he had prepared long ago, and sent it: [Xie Lin.Of course, the images of the others are not very good. After our company buys the copyright, it is estimated that there will be another wave of actors.But the company wants you to take back the copyright on the grounds that Xie Lin does not conform to the image of the original work. 】
Xie Lin pursed her lips and wanted to laugh, this is a good idea from Ci Kun Film Company.
If he really takes back the copyright for this reason, it will inevitably damage Xie Lin's image.
At that time, Xie Lin's fans might also attack Mo Yan's readers.
And Mo Yan has a lot of readers, so how can he let his favorite author be sprayed in vain, and the two sides will definitely have to pinch each other when the time comes.
After all, Mo Yan is just an author who hides behind the computer and codes, and usually does not show his face.
In the end, it was Xie Lin's image that was really affected by this incident. In the future, he will be labeled as an actor who was disliked by the original author.
It's a pity that Ci Kun Film Company wanted to punish people but didn't get any good news.
Xie Lin typed quickly on the phone keyboard with his fingers, and replied: [I forgot to introduce myself to you, I am Xie Lin, and my pen name is Mo Yan. 】
