future entertainment tycoon

"Mr. Shen, right? I'm Gu Mian." The man who spoke was dressed in simple black, with a loose T-shirt hanging loosely on his body, which made him look thinner and his face was a bit unhealthy sallow. There was a faint blush on his face. Although he tried his best to be calm, when he looked over, his eyes were cautious.

Shen Gu and Zhan Rui stood up and extended their hands to introduce.

Looking at Shen Gu's young face, Gu Mian felt sour in his heart. When the man next to him introduced himself as a legal consultant, he couldn't help biting his lower lip.

The three of them sat down, and Gu Mian trotted over after getting out of the car. After he stopped exercising, the heat in his body rose rapidly, and he could hear his heart pounding. Dare to pant rudely, so he could only purse his lips, letting the hot breath blow out from his nose for a long time.

Seeing Gu Mian's nervousness, Shen Gu first called the waiter and asked him to order drinks by himself.

In order to relieve his warming heart, Gu Mian ordered an ice product. After ordering, he realized that the two people on the opposite side were drinking coffee, and suddenly he felt that he was very naive.

Shen Gu was aroused and asked for an ice cream.

Gu Mian didn't know whether he was doing it on purpose or not, at least seeing someone eating dessert like him, he let go a little bit.

After eating half of the ice cream, Gu Mian gradually calmed down. Shen Gu gently pushed aside the cute cup with only a little melted snow water left in front of him. Gu Mian was shocked and knew that it was time to talk about business.

"The thing is like this, I read a novel in the sky bookstore, and I want to make it into a TV series."

When Gu Mian was frantically preparing just now, he took a look at the program of Earth Entertainment. Just like he guessed before, he was amused by this kind of program, but he didn't want to like it at all.The unfamiliar words made Gu Mian raise his face, his dull eyes were full of doubts, and the blue shadow underneath became more obvious, "TV drama?"

"The novel tells a story, and the TV series is to let the actors show this story in the form of performance, and transform the text into a more intuitive drama."

Gu Mian held the ice cream spoon and kept stirring the foam in the cup. Hearing Shen Gu's words, his heart was surging. He was excited for the huge opportunity, but at the same time confused about the new form. An unstoppable jealousy towards the young and solid, for a moment he felt that this kind of TV series would not be successful, and when Gu Mian realized it, even he himself felt guilty.

Shen Gu thought that Gu Mian would at least have some questions to ask, but seeing that he didn't say a word, he couldn't help but secretly speculate on his thoughts, and then added: "So we want to buy out the copyright of that novel. The reason why we went through your website is because We hope to establish a long-term cooperative relationship in the future.”

Gu Mian looked at him, and suddenly asked: "In the future, do you want to make a lot of TV dramas?" In fact, what he wanted to ask was, do you think TV dramas will definitely be successful?But at any rate, he still had a semblance of reason, knowing that it would be too rude to ask such a question, so he changed the term.

Shen Gu didn't know what he really thought, thought he was thinking about cooperation, and immediately started talking, "Of course, TV dramas will become the mainstream in the future, and I will shoot TV dramas with different themes, such as romance movies that women love to watch, women's The family ethics movies that I like to watch, or the passionate and passionate TV series that men like to watch..."

Speaking of Shen Gu, who is proud of his career, his whole body seems to be shining. Even Zhan Rui, who has been with him for a while, can't help but be attracted by this temperament. With a touch of appreciation.

Gu Mian's heart was already turbulent, but he didn't show it on his face. The more dazzling Shen Gu's performance was, the more he felt ashamed of himself. Taking advantage of Shen Gu's breath, he quickly interjected, "Which book in the bookstore do you like?" Fiction? I'll help you contact the author."

Shen Gu still had half of his words in his throat, and he choked for it. He felt that Gu Mian was a bit weird, he swallowed, and just about to answer, Zhan Rui leaned forward and said for him: "Let's talk about buying out the copyright first."

Gu Mian was instinctively afraid of Zhan Rui, so he nodded his head.

Zhan Rui gave Shen Gu a signal, and then handed it over to him, "Although Shen Gu is interested in one of the novels in your bookstore, we hope to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with your sky bookstore. Of course, this film and television copyright, as Shen Gugang said, allows us to film the novel on TV, and you must know that putting it on the screen is very different from expressing it in words, and we must have the full right to adapt .”

In addition to being the webmaster, Gu Mian is also the author himself. Hearing the adaptation of the two words, he felt uncomfortable, and his tone was a bit tough, "How far is the adaptation? After all, every novel is watered by the author's painstaking effort." Yes, of course they don’t want their novels to be altered beyond recognition.”

Shen Gu thought to himself that he was worthy of being the webmaster of a novel website, and he still used the polite saying of "watering it with painstaking efforts".

Zhan Rui was not intimidated by the forceful momentum at all, he still spoke in a cool tone, and said without hesitation, "We respect the author, and the adaptation will be within the scope acceptable to the author to the greatest extent. Adaptation, yes In order to make this story more attractive, and the specific situation will be treated on a case-by-case basis, but I promise that the author's consent will be obtained for the result of the adaptation." Zhan Rui smiled meaningfully, in his opinion, Earth Entertainment, which paid for the copyright , always tightly grasping the initiative, as for the author, sooner or later he will compromise under pressure.There are as many novels in the book city as there are stars in the sky, and their choices can be said to be countless, but the current choice of novel authors is Earth Entertainment.

Gu Mian guessed Zhan Rui's twists and turns, and reluctantly agreed with this statement, "But I can't guarantee that everyone is willing to sell the film and television copyright."

There was a flash of sarcasm in Zhan Rui's eyes. He lowered his voice and deliberately slowed down, "Why do you think people publish novels in Book City?" After a brief pause, he leaned back and distanced himself, but Gu Mian didn't I didn't feel less oppressed.

"If it's just an interest, it will exist in its own medium, and it will be self-admired. Now that it is published, it proves that in its bones, it still hopes to be seen and recognized by more people. The works that have been watered with heart will be put on the screen. There is a chance It has been seen by national audiences, so why should the author refuse? Not to mention there are still royalties to be taken.”

Zhan Rui's words touched Gu Mian's heart word by word. It didn't feel good, and he didn't find the joy of his confidant. On the contrary, he seemed to be cut open naked, naked, and spread out under the crowd. He quickly looked His eyes were fixed, and the other party's eyes were filled with a bit of probing emotion. He felt uncomfortable again, and the words "watering with heart" sounded a bit harsh to his ears. He regarded this kind of vanity as a shady secret.

Shen Gu looked sideways at Zhan Rui, looking very surprised. This was the first time he saw Zhan Rui showing his sharpness, like a sharp sword, so sharp that it was almost aggressive.

Even if he didn't want to, Gu Mian had to admit Zhan Rui's words, he was also the author, and he couldn't help fantasizing that the novel that Shen Gu liked happened to be his work.

"Then... how about the film and television royalties?" Gu Mian unconsciously lowered his voice, as if talking about money is such an embarrassing thing.

Zhan Rui and Shen Gu exchanged glances with each other, and they had already made a quick decision on the royalty issue before Gu Mian came.

The key question is that he should open his mouth firmly, otherwise it will appear that his boss is just a display.Zhan Rui picked up the coffee, took a sip, and looked down at the froth on the edge of the cup. After it had settled down, the latter said with a smile and a light voice unique to his age: "The minimum royalty for film and television is [-]." Of course, in the future, depending on the superiority of the novel, it will be improved. Your bookstore can get a commission from it. As for the percentage, it is up to you to decide. In order to express the long-term cooperation between our company and Sky Bookstore, there are still a series of plans in the future. , For example, you can recommend several excellent novels every year, and so on, the details are yet to be discussed.”

Gu Mian instinctively felt that the price of [-] yuan was low, but compared to the income from online copyright, it was not too low. He didn't know whether to agree immediately, or continued to hesitate to take Joe.

Shen Gu added: "And you have to know that after being made into a TV series, it will have a very good advertising effect on the original novel, the author, and the bookstore."

This sentence moved Gu Mian the most. His love for his career was no less than that of Shen Gu. He nodded, "Okay!"

Shen Gu and Zhan Rui breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and the latter said: "Leave a contact information, I will send the film and television copyright contract tonight, you can double sign, and then you can contact the author."

By the time the three of them left the coffee shop, it was almost dusk, and patches of burning clouds were slowly swimming in the sky, like a huge red curtain.

The corners of Shen Gu's eyes were smiling, his pupils were black and shiny, the last rays of the setting sun wrapped his outline, and even the fine hairs on his face could be clearly seen.

"Hey, I didn't expect the negotiation to be settled so soon. I've delayed you for so long. I'll treat you tonight!" With a trace of the hot night wind, it was poured into the car, and half of Shen Gu's words were blown away in the wind. , he almost enjoyed the pleasure of the strong wind beating his skin, squinted his eyes and raised his head, letting the remaining warmth of the setting sun caress his eyelids.

"Okay!" Zhan Rui answered briskly, turned his head and glanced at Shen Gu who was leaning against the window and exuding deep joy even if he didn't speak. After a while, he asked, "Which novel do you like in Sky Book City?"

Zhan Rui thought that Shen Gu's fancy was out of sincere liking, so he couldn't help being curious, and at the same time thought about going back and taking a look.

""The Ruthless President Falls in Love with Me""

Zhan Rui's hand holding the steering wheel froze suddenly, as if he couldn't believe what he heard, he turned his head and looked at him in surprise, "Cold...what's the cold?"

Shen Gu knew Zhan Rui's feelings at this time, just like the first time he heard the title of the book, Shen Gu opened his eyes, looked at Zhan Rui's blank expression, and laughed. The voice said to the wind: ""The Ruthless President Falls in Love with Me"!"
