This hotel is a famous five-star hotel in Nanjing, but it is clear that it is meal time at noon, why the hall lights are not turned on, and the door of the box is also wide open, and the black hole is empty.

I subconsciously held Jiang Xi's hand, Jiang Xi's face was not very good-looking, and his hand was already dialing Brother Li's phone.

"Brother Li, it's right at the Dawn Hotel, right?"

Jiang Xi asked on the phone as he slowed down with me.

It seems to be a loud voice on the other end of the phone, and I can hear the person babbling before Jiang Xi turns on the amplification: "That's right, that's right."

Before the phone hung up, a tall and thin middle-aged man came out of a large box with lights on at the end of the corridor, and greeted him with a smile on his face, it seems that it should be the "Brother Li" in Jiang Xi's mouth.

It's just that after Brother Li approached, he frowned slightly, and the smile on his face was a little loose, and he whispered to us: "Little Jiang, why are you only here now, there is a traffic jam on the road?"

"Huh?" Jiang Xi and I were a little stunned at this moment, I raised my hand and looked at the time on my phone, just two minutes after twelve o'clock, and these two minutes were the time we spent looking for the box from the hall.

Jiang Xi asked, "Isn't it about twelve o'clock?"

Brother Li looked a little depressed, and said to us who were still looking at our phones and were a little confused: "It's useless to watch, just after a minute, people dropped their chopsticks and made their faces, hurry up and come in with me." ”

Jiang Xi and I glanced at each other, and I saw a bit of "so it is" in Jiang Xi's eyes, but fortunately, there are not a few strange things we have seen, at least punctuality and trustworthiness are still a virtue in a way.

When I entered the box, I honestly couldn't control my expression, because this box was big enough to accommodate 100 people for a conference, and the dining table in the middle was as big as an international company's conference table.

I quickly turned my face away and pretended to look around at the luxurious decoration in the box, but what I thought to myself was: Hey, this person needs to pretend to have a meal in such a big box?

The man sitting at the table, about forty years old, with a small flat head and neat facial features, he seemed to stand up politely and made a gesture of "please sit", just a flat face, a suit without a trace of folds, like a realistic version of the domineering president, except that his height looks similar to mine, a little short.

The oversized table only sat four of us at this time, which seemed a little funny, and I couldn't help but think of the plot I saw in the movie: two people eating across the old elder's table, and they had to rely on the waiter to speak, but fortunately, Chinese eat at a round table, which saves the trouble of passing the word.

Brother Li first introduced, "This is Boss Wang, these two are Xiao Jiang and her husband. ”

As a result, as soon as Brother Li's words fell, he listened to the pretending ...... No, Boss Wang looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "You guys are three minutes late." ”

Good fellow, this man is still struggling with punctuality, I really don't know whether to praise him for being serious, or to say that he is too paranoid?

Jiang Xi smiled and replied: "We arrived in the hall at twelve o'clock, but we were delayed for a few minutes to find a private room. ”

Brother Li immediately interjected with a smile and said, "In order not to be disturbed, Boss Wang specially chartered the noon session of the hotel, this ...... Time is limited, so why don't we talk while we eat?"

While talking, the waiter began to serve the food, it looks very good, the shape is beautiful, strange, at first glance it is the rich people's food, but I can't see what they are eating.

There was a white handkerchief on the table, Jiang Xi and I casually spread it on the table, but the boss Wang meticulously pinned the handkerchief to his chest, in fact, if he did these things in the TV series, it should belong to the feeling of a British gentleman, but when I saw such a person in life, I wanted to say three words "xxx" to fill in the blanks!

I pursed my lips slightly, and my eyes involuntarily drifted to Jiang Xi's side, Jiang Xi lowered his head, took out his mobile phone and sent me a text message: "It's really boundless and invisible, I always thought that only I had this kind of person......"

I coughed and motioned to Jiang Xi to "stand still" for the time being, we are here to talk about things.

"Let me formally introduce you, this Mr. Wang, who has been in the food business for more than ten years......" Brother Li stood up with a red wine glass, "Mr. Wang, this Jiang Xi is a good friend of my good friend, and we are also indirect good friends, my friend Lan Lan said that she is very capable and reliable." ”

"Wang Dasheng!" Mr. Wang stood up and raised the cup in his hand, but there was no red wine in his cup, and the color should be yogurt?

I'll just ...... yogurt? Even if you have a drink, you are sincere about this meal, right? I feel sorry for this hearty meal with yogurt.

This person really has a lot of quirks, and I don't know how many of them haven't been revealed.

Jiang Xi poked me with his elbow when he stood up, I quickly nodded to Brother Li and that Mr. Wang, the table is too big, of course we can't clink glasses, we can only knock the bottom of the goblet on the edge of the table, to be honest, I think it's very incongruous, people's red wine is elegant, why is it so awkward when it comes to us?

drank two more glasses, because of Brother Li's support, he finally let Mr. Wang start to talk about business, and the atmosphere in the room was not as awkward and cold as it was at the beginning, but it was just ......

"I make 60 percent of the profits a year in the food business, so you don't have to worry that I won't be able to pay you a screenwriting fee. ”

"Is two million okay?"

Jiang Xi, "......".

Me, "......".

Brother Li, "......".

"Ahem, that ...... Brother Li, there has to be a direction for the adaptation of the script, I don't know what type of work Mr. Wang wants to adapt? Ancient background, or modern background?"

Jiang Xi found a gap and generously began to pull the conversation back to the point.

Brother Li immediately said, "I took a look at the works brought by Mr. Wang. ”

Brother Li kept a smile on his face very delicately, glanced at Mr. Wang quickly, and then said to Jiang Xi: "It's a modern urban background ......."

He seemed to have some desire to say something, and raised his glass and took a sip of wine before saying: "It's a pity that it's not over yet, so now I not only need your help with the dramatic change, but also a need is to see if you can try to continue it first, so that the work can be serialized first." ”

"It's not over yet, do you want to continue?" Jiang Xi looked surprised, this was probably something she didn't expect at all, she said, "A work is equivalent to an author's child, this is half produced, and you have to change your mother, is it really good?"

Boss Wang listened to Jiang Xi's words, and his face was colder than that of the domineering president.

My eyes began to wander around the decoration and ceiling of the box again, and I thought of some stories that Jiang Xi told me in the circle, although she had never encountered them before, but her group of screenwriter friends were well-informed, and there were really many people who received such nonsensical drama reform tasks.

Of course, in the hearts of those clients, this kind of behavior will be given a good name, called: dreams.

It's just that your dream seems to be a bit of a hooligan, right? I couldn't help but roll my eyes and sent a message to Mr. Wang, and bowed my head and sent a message to Jiang Xi: "Wife, let's go home after eating......

Jiang Xi didn't rush to refuse or agree, but sent me a message back: "I'll take a look at the text first, the specific details...... I don't think it's suitable to talk at a dinner table, especially at such a large table. ”

"It's not good to change mothers, but now the child's own mother can't give birth to her completely, so I want to find a nurse to finish it. ”

These words, why does it sound so awkward, I really want to pull Jiang Xi away immediately, what kind of culture is this Boss Wang, can he speak, Jiang Xi is no problem if he says that, he says this, is it just a rice spoon and a soup with a messy word (spoon)?

Seeing that Jiang Xi didn't speak, Wang Dasheng said again.

"To tell you the truth, this is what my wife wrote, and I wrote it for many years, and then she ...... And then it hasn't been updated for a long time, and now it's almost a tail, and she told me many times in the end, I can tell you the direction, would Mr. Jiang want to try it?"

Hey, even Mr. Jiang called these three words?

My first impression of Wang Dasheng in front of me is not good, after all, we do the technical industry, we all pay attention to hard work, pay attention to real talent and learning, everything is pompous, talk about success, most of them are vain.

Therefore, I feel that this thing is not reliable at all, and the person in front of me may be a big liar. Let Jiang Xi cooperate with him? I will inevitably meet again in the future, how rare is it that I have time to accompany Jiang Xi today, what if I am not free? Then I am worried to death.

I immediately quietly made a "refuse" gesture with my hand, anyway, there was a huge bouquet in the middle of the table that looked like a marriage proposal as a shield, and the Wang Dasheng couldn't see it.

Jiang Xi probably also felt that this person was also very unreliable with this matter, and the expression on his face had a little bit of a sense of wanting to refuse.

It's just that Brother Li looks experienced, and before Jiang Xi could speak, he immediately played his hole cards and said: "Xiao Jiang, Mr. Wang has found a lot of people to cooperate with before, and there is no stipulation that it must be completed, as long as it is the number of words approved by Mr. Wang, one thousand words and two, do you think it will work? ”

Look, look, always tempting people with money? Not at all like a good person doing business, I obviously saw a slight loosening change in Jiang Xi's face, which must have affected her shrewd and wise judgment due to my unsuccessful work.

Wife, don't lose your wisdom and don't be deceived!

But I could already see from Jiang Xi's side face that the loosening was getting bigger and bigger, as if the original 40 percent eagerness had become 60 percent, and it was soaring straight at a rate of 10 percent per second.

Just as Jiang Xi was about to speak, I reached out and grabbed her and shook my head at her.

Jiang Xi glanced at me, turned his head and said, "Brother Li, the statement of one thousand words and one thousand two is generally a buyout of writing, the price is indeed not low, so what is the algorithm for writing scripts?"

Jiang Xi quickly restrained the eagerness in his expression, and asked in a light tone.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

I knew that after a long period of baptism, my wife was no longer the big girl who could enter the crew to be angry for 20,000 yuan.

Of course, she also went for me and our family back then. When I think of this, my heart is warm!

Hearing Jiang Xi's question, Wang Dasheng stretched out his hand and slightly stopped Brother Li, who was about to answer, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Because it is a modern urban workplace youth campus emotional business war text, the drama should not be too long, my idea is twenty episodes, and then, the screenwriter fee will be two million." ”

After speaking, he leaned back like the godfather in the movie, put his hands on his legs, and raised his chin slightly, looking like he was in a strategic position.

"Ahem, ahem. I didn't drink anything, but I choked somehow, I turned my head slightly, and saw that Jiang Xi's expression was also a little wrong.

I thought that Jiang Xi would at least sigh at the other party's offer, or confirm with Brother Li in a joking tone or something, but she actually thought for a moment, and suddenly frowned and asked in a slightly puzzled tone: "Mr. Wang, this article you are talking about...... Have you read this article written by your wife?"

As soon as these words came out, Brother Li and I both looked at Wang Dasheng, the latter's posture was obviously stiff for a second, he nodded, and shook his head unconfidently, and said, "Look...... I've read some of them, but I'm not really good at reading text-based things, and most of the storylines should have been told to me by my wife. ”

"So, is the 'Modern Urban Workplace, Youth Campus, Emotional Business War' you just said your wife classifying this book?"
