The most incredible person among my fans

Facts have proved that Fan Cheng's sixth sense is always accurate.

On the second day, Fan Cheng went to the Chinese Publishing House to meet with Chen Liu as agreed, and discussed with editor-in-chief Zheng Zhihe about Erhai Yilan's invitation to write a script.The day before the planning proposal, Chen Liu had already handed it over to Mr. Zheng's desk. After Lao Zheng had read it, he would give his opinion. With Lao Zheng's vision in this business for decades, he should give a more secure opinion.

Xie Yunzhi and Fan Cheng split up. Her task today is to report to the company for a meeting, which is a working meeting within her studio.Because Chen Danran, who had been on a business trip in the United States some time ago, is back, and he has to make arrangements for the new year, so he is probably too busy.Moreover, Xie Yunzhi will participate in the recording of the second episode of the second season of "This Is the Actor" again tomorrow. She still needs to find time to review the script today, and she may be arranged to perform on stage tomorrow.

Chen Danran has been in the United States during the Spring Festival, and stayed in the United States for a long time after the Spring Festival, doing some networking work.She went this time because of a private matter. Her cousin, who was six years older than Chen Danran, remarried and married an American. She took her parents to the United States to attend her cousin's wedding, and took a trip along the west coast of the United States.With great powers, she also visited several large studios in Los Angeles and Hollywood through a friend in the American media industry, and met and had dinner with several American film producers.She has broadcast these things live in Moments these days, Fan Cheng and Xie Yunzhi are very clear about what she has done these days.

Chen Danran told Xie Yunzhi in private that she was planning Xie Yunzhi's future overseas career.Xie Yunzhi expressed in the early years that she was not very interested in developing her career in the United States.She didn't have a good impression of the country on the other side of the ocean, and she had been there a few times, but it wasn't a livable place in her mind, at least not suitable for her.But Chen Danran said that Xie Yunzhi needs to plan an escape route for herself. After all, her current relationship cannot be exposed, and there is no impenetrable wall in this world. If she is forced to come out of the closet, her career in China may be blocked. The development of the United States is also a good thing.

Some words entered Xie Yunzhi's heart intentionally or unintentionally, and she couldn't help being a little shaken.But Xie Yunzhi hasn't mentioned this matter to Fan Cheng yet, she is actually a little apprehensive deep in her heart.

Let's talk about Fan Cheng's side, she discussed with Xie Yunzhi the night before before washing up and going to bed very late, and went back to the courtyard early in the morning, picked up some daily necessities, got into the car, and then drove to the publishing house.As soon as she parked her car in the parking space downstairs of the publishing house, Chen Liu's urgent call came.

"Chengzi, are you here? Old Zheng is anxious to see you."

"I'm here, come up now!"

When Fan Cheng arrived at Zheng Zhihe's office, before Lao Zheng had time to say hello, he put his mobile phone on the table in front of Fan Cheng and said:

"See for yourself."

Fan Cheng flicked the screen of his mobile phone. This is the wechat chat record between Zheng Zhihe and a person Fan Cheng didn't know. This person showed Lao Zheng several pictures. "Contrast the content in another article that is not well-known.Among them, a large number of similar, even completely copied sentences are marked with red lines, which means that it is obvious that one of the two authors must have copied the other.

"What?" Fan Cheng asked with question marks all over his head, "Am I being raped?"

"Yes, you have been hit, and the timing is very bad. The foreign language version of "Fence" is about to be released, and the samples have already been sent to the printing factory. If there is trouble at this time, we will lose too much. Do you know this person?" Old Zheng Click on the wechat avatar of the person chatting with him.

Fan Cheng shook his head, then looked at Chen Liu. Chen Liu was also at a loss. Before this morning, he had no idea of ​​such a thing.

"This person is the president of the Screenwriters Association, Lu Linsen. He and I are old friends. He contacted me early this morning, saying that someone added him on WeChat last night, claiming that he was plagiarized by Jin Rulian. " Movie Chaser and the TV series have to pay him compensation, and if he refuses to pay, he will file a lawsuit."

"Ridiculous!" Fan Cheng laughed angrily. She has been writing for so many years, and she rarely borrows from other people's works, and it is impossible to plagiarize even a single punctuation mark.

"Pengci plagiarized, let's judge the time first. What is the name of this Pengci guy's book, and when was it published?" Chen Liu asked.

"This is the trouble." Old Zheng frowned, "This guy is a ghost who came out of nowhere, and he still refuses to reveal his real name. He only has a pseudonym, which is called...'Fangyuancunshi'. He This book is called "The Loophole", which was published three years ago, far before "Shadow Chaser", and I have already checked the ISBN, and there is indeed this book."

"Impossible! How is this possible?" Chen Liu jumped up, "This is framed! Someone deliberately set a trap!"

"Which publishing house's ISBN?" Fan Cheng asked.The book number, or ISBN, is assigned to major publishing houses by the General Administration of Press and Publication. People in the publishing industry can generally tell which publishing house the book is published by the book number.

"A small publishing house that I've never heard of, Golden Beyond Publishing House." Zheng Zhihe took off his reading glasses, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and said, "I've asked Xiao Wei and the others to check the background of this publishing house."

"Could it be... Could it be a book that was published recently, with a book number from three years ago?" Chen Liu asked.

"This is the only possibility, but it is difficult to operate. There is an application for one book number, and the complicated procedures to get it approved are exhausting even for big publishing houses like us, let alone those small publishing houses. Yi submitted so many materials to apply for the ISBN, and paid a lot of money for the ISBN fee, but it was empty. What kind of operation is this? Could it be that Fan Cheng had expected that Fan Cheng would write "Shadow Chaser" and was just waiting to meet him? Porcelain? I don’t understand.” Old Zheng sighed.

"Anyway, the other party was well prepared this time and came after me. Uncle Zheng, sixth son, I'm sorry to trouble you." Fan Cheng said in a deep voice.

"What are you talking about? It's not your fault that other people make trouble." Chen Liu said, "If the jackal comes, he will be greeted with a shotgun."

"Haha, it's rare for you to say something nice." Zheng Zhihe smiled, then looked at Fan Cheng and said, "Xiao Fan, don't worry, I guess this person is so sneaky and dare not show his face, but he actually has scruples in his heart. His book number may not stand up to scrutiny. Once he really goes to court, a lawyer who is good at copyright lawsuits will probably be able to find out some problems after a little investigation. There must be operational problems. Let me find some contacts first. To stabilize this matter, we must first let the foreign language version of "Fence" be released smoothly."

"Well, thank you, Uncle Zheng." Fan Cheng said gratefully.

"You, now your status is different. Once you are popular, you will become a target. It doesn't matter, it will get better after a long time."

"Then...the drama of Erhai Yilan, should we still take it?" Chen Liu asked Zheng Zhihe.

"Don't accept it. I took a look at this project proposal. The requirements are so high. Anyone who writes it will be criticized. Wan Shi's case is not very professional and realistic. I think it is also a trap. Very During the period, don't take the burden on yourself for the time being." Zheng Zhihe said.

Fan Cheng and Chen Liu looked at each other and nodded. What Old Zheng said was reasonable, and they both thought so in their hearts at this moment.

Then Fan Cheng came forward and called Zhang Lan himself, expressing his intention to decline.But Zhang Lan urged Fan Cheng to take over the case on the phone.Fan Cheng could only refuse again on the grounds that there were so many things going on recently that he could not spare time, but Zhang Lan said that there was no rush and the management could wait.Fan Cheng was a little surprised, what was Zhang Lan trying so hard to bring about this project?

Zhang Lan asked if Fan Cheng was currently at the Chinese Publishing House, and after receiving an affirmative answer, she suggested that she would visit the publishing house immediately.Since her studio is very close to Guowen Publishing House, she appeared at the reception desk of Guowen Publishing House 10 minutes later.

Zheng Zhihe, together with Fan Cheng and Chen Liu, received her personally, and in the special reception room, the four of them sat down to talk.Zhang Lan seemed a little excited, and kept talking about how reliable the plan was, how sincere and earnest the management was.But after talking for a long time, he was blocked by Lao Zheng's words:

"Xiaolan, I've known you for a long time. Tell me, how did you get in touch with Zhang Xiaoqin from Wanshi?"

"It's just... Zhang Xiaoqin came to the editorial association to ask for the script in person, and she also asked me to discuss the project." Zhang Lan's eyes flickered slightly, but she still insisted on her previous words.

"Really?" Zheng Zhihe asked softly, "I talked to Lao Lu on the phone this morning, and I asked him about it, why did Lao Lu say he didn't know?"

"Chairman Lu really didn't know about this matter. When Zhang Xiaoqin came to the editorial association, Lao Lu happened to be on a business trip, so I received him." Zhang Lan explained.

"For such a big project, why didn't you discuss it with Lao Lu, and found Fan Cheng on your own initiative, and encouraged her to write it? Xiaolan, we have been friends for so many years, tell us the truth, are you It's not that they encountered difficulties and let someone with a heart take advantage of it." Zheng Zhihe stopped deviating with Zhang Lan, and directly hit the point.

Zhang Lan's complexion turned pale, and she suddenly lost her voice.

Fan Cheng felt panicked in her heart. Although she and Zhang Lan were not very close, they were sisters who had studied together. How many times they had studied together in the library, and how many times they had exchanged ideas in cafes. Reading and writing experience, will not feel bored all day long.She treats Zhang Lan with sincerity, but why... Zhang Lan treats her like this.She let out a long sigh, leaned back on the back of the chair, and turned her head away.

It was probably Fan Cheng's long sigh that broke Zhang Lan's last disguise. Her eyes were red, and she looked at Fan Cheng and said:

"Xiaofan, I'm sorry... I, I really have nothing to do."

"What's the matter?" Chen Liu asked in a deep voice with his thick eyebrows intertwined.

"My husband, he...he owes a huge debt, I can't help..." Zhang Lan broke down in tears for a while.Chen Liu hurriedly found napkins for her, she took out two and wiped away her tears, trying to calm down, and finally she was able to tell the whole story intermittently.

It turned out that Zhang Lan and her husband gambled with people in Myanmar a year ago, and they were tricked by others. They owed a huge debt, and the jade shop had to sell it to pay off the debt. Even so, it was insolvent, and all the bank financing was lost .In order to pay off the debt, Zhang Lan put all her savings from writing for many years into it, and sold her house in Kunming, but she still couldn't plug this big hole.The couple was extremely anxious and began to call their friends for help. The world was so cold that few people were willing to borrow money. Just when they were about to die, a manager in charge of loan business of the bank introduced them a way out.The manager knew a professional agent who specialized in jewelry and antique business for a rich man. This rich man was very mysterious and never showed his face. He always asked this professional agent to come forward for everything.The rich are very interested in jade, not only want to collect it themselves, but also want to start a jade business, so they need professional people to find and take care of it for them.

It was impossible for Zhang Lan and his wife to let go of this life-saving straw. They immediately met with the professional agent through the bank manager. After some discussions, they reached an agreement with the professional manager.The big money can help Zhang Lan's husband repay the debt in installments. During this period, Zhang Lan's husband must manage the jade business for the big money free of charge, find jade worth collecting, participate in auctions, and so on.It seemed that Zhang Lan's husband had taken advantage of the agreement, but things changed later.The repayment amount of the big money is very tight, and the money comes in every time on the last day of the repayment period. Zhang Lan and her husband live in fear every day, for fear that when the big money will be repaid. The cooperation agreement will be terminated if the money is not paid, but the jade demand of the big money is extremely unreasonable. In order to collect the jade that the big money wants, Zhang Lan's husband is so tired all day long that he falls ill.

Then the shackles fell on Zhang Lan's shoulders. Knowing that Zhang Lan was the screenwriter, the rich man seemed to be interested and met Zhang Lan.This happened about half a year ago, and Zhang Lan didn't know until then that the rich man was Zhang Xingjian.Seeing that Zhang Lan is so beautiful, talented, and even a little bird, he couldn't help but become lustful.He directly made a condition that as long as Zhang Lan could sleep with him, he could pay off all the debts of Zhang Lan's family.If Zhang Lan refuses, then the agreement will be terminated, and he will no longer repay the debts for Zhang Lan's husband.Zhang Xingjian could not do the jade business, but Zhang Lan and her husband had to need his money to pay off their debts.

At that time, Zhang Lan's husband fell ill and was hospitalized, and the medical expenses were not small. Zhang Lan was so poor that even her monthly diet became a problem.Without Zhang Xingjian to pay off her debts, she would never be able to support herself any longer.When a person is in a desperate situation, he will make all kinds of unimaginable choices. Zhang Lan chose to betray her husband and sell her body.

Since then, she became Zhang Xingjian's bed partner, and Zhang Xingjian kept his promise to repay all the debts for Zhang Lan's husband, and even paid for the medical expenses.

"He wants me to lure you into the trap. This plan is indeed a trap. Once you jump in, he will use various financial loopholes and contract traps to tie you down step by step. In addition, you should have met Pengci It's plagiarism, that's what he arranged. The double insurance has only one purpose - to restrain you so that you can't distract yourself from helping Xie Yunzhi. He thinks that you are the biggest obstacle for him to deal with Xie Yunzhi. I don't know how you and Xie Yunzhi will end up. It doesn't matter, but he decided that you will help Xie Yunzhi.

I said all this today to let you know, which means that I have betrayed Zhang, and he will ruin my reputation in the future. I must do whatever he asks me to do, otherwise... I will lose even the last dignity.A month ago, my husband recovered from his illness and was discharged from the hospital, and I divorced him after that... No one knows about it yet... My new studio was also rented out for me with Zhang's money.But it doesn't matter, I just... don't want to go on like this.Maybe it's time to end it. "Zhang Lan finally said, she covered her face with her hands, as if she no longer had the face to face others.
