Chapter 23
In the evening of the same day.
A cafΓ© at the airport.
"Introduce myself to the two of you, my surname is Huang, this is my business card!"
A man in his thirties with glasses smiled and took out a business card and handed it to Lu Jiaxu and the other party's wife.
γEditor-in-Chief of Ningde Culture Companyγ
[Name: Huang Jianzhong]
[Responsible content: review of works, publication review, film and television adaptation review, ......]
Look at the names of the other party's units inside.
Lu Jiaxu's brows furrowed slightly, and he was stunned: "Didn't you say that the editor of the publishing house before, why did it become Ningde Culture Company again?"
His wife was also a little worried, because Master Li said that there was a possibility of encountering a liar.
Huang Jianzhong smiled heartily: "I was an editor in a publishing house a few years ago, and then I came out with a friend to invest in a company, and now I choose scripts for producers and directors to make film and television." β
"Didn't I mention to you that a boss is going to make a movie and let me choose the draft?"
Huang Jianzhong smiled straight to the point and said: "I have read your manuscript, and it is very well written!"
"Of course, I'm just recommending the script, and the boss of the family spent 20 or 30 million yuan to make a movie, and it's another thing whether he likes your work or not. β
With a serious face, he picked up the three-point printed script from the side.
He pushed the frame of his glasses and introduced to the couple in front of him: "The situation is like this now, and the other two books are also very good, which were submitted by the authors under my previous command at the publishing house. β
"Because of the movie schedule and the market heat arrangement, the competition in the second half of the year will be particularly large. β
"So what the boss meant was to settle as early as possible. β
"After the finalization, I have to choose actors or something, and I have to do a lot of things, so I don't want to delay any longer, so I just choose one of these three. β
Lu Jiaxu nodded suddenly in realization.
His daughter-in-law's eyes lit up and she asked excitedly, "Are these three books, including my husband's?"
Huang Jianzhong nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, pick one of these three." β
Hearing that it was possible to make a movie, and the probability was so high, Chen Yanting felt an indescribable excitement in her heart.
Huang Jianzhong raised five fingers, his eyes showed a burning look, and he encouraged: "If your script is selected, at least give you this number, I don't know if you are satisfied?"
Hearing this, Lu Jiaxu was slightly startled, and asked tentatively, "500,000?"
"Yes, and at least half a million!"
Huang Jianzhong patted his chest with a sworn face and said in a tone: "In fact, the cost of the script is controlled in the range of fifty to two million. β
He said in a very regretful tone: "But you haven't published a work, so you don't have much fame, this price will definitely not go up, and I will fight for you when the time comes." β
Hearing this, Chen Yanting hurriedly smiled flatteringly: "Then I have to trouble you to say a few more kind words, if you really want to be selected, I will definitely not forget you." β
After that, she also deliberately pushed her husband and signaled to hurry up and say a few good words to others.
Huang Jianzhong has long been accustomed to this feeling, and he hinted and smiled: "Make a movie, once you choose your script, you will enter this circle at that time." β
"You've got a lot more to your resume. β
"500,000 is just the beginning, and the price will definitely double and double again in the future. β
Huang Jianzhong patted the other party's shoulder with a smile and continued: "No matter how many people envy such an opportunity, they can't envy it. β
"As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning!"
"But this time, don't put too much hope on it, a one-third probability, whether it's high or not, and it's not low if it's low. β
Huang Jianzhong squinted and asked with a smile, "By the way, did you bring the manuscript?"
"Give me the manuscript, the story must be complete, and the characters will be set up for the boss to see. β
Chen Yanting turned around very consciously, because her husband didn't have a backpack, so the script was in her bag.
Just when she wanted to hand the manuscript to Huang Jianzhong, she was stopped by Lu Jiaxu.
She frowned tightly and whispered anxiously, "What are you doing?" β
This is in front of others, and I am worried about affecting the impression of the other party.
Lu Jiaxu took his daughter-in-law and walked a few steps away, and then he reminded: "Have you forgotten the master's advice? β
No one noticed that the positions of the two changed quietly.
At first, Lu Jiaxu was dismissive of the so-called fortune teller, but Chen Yanting felt that she could give it a try.
Now Lu Jiaxu, who went to Changling West Street, has been completely conquered by Master Li.
On the contrary, his daughter-in-law doesn't seem to particularly believe it, but she just thinks that it can be used as a reference, but there is no need to take it as a holy decree.
Chen Yanting was also anxious, she felt that if she missed such a good opportunity, she might not be able to encounter it in the future.
"But didn't the master also say that if you don't give the manuscript to others, maybe you will miss the opportunity?"
"Besides, what if the master is wrong?"
Lu Jiaxu was stunned and stunned, his heart was complicated, and he didn't know what to do.
Chen Yanting was originally from the personnel department, and she had a lot of contact contracts.
She smiled confidently: "It's okay, be serious when you sign the contract." β
With that, she walked over with the manuscript, and then handed it to the other party very politely.
That's a one-in-one chance!
Make a movie!
Besides, this manuscript is not worth much, and the other party can only be valuable if it is wanted, and if you don't want it, it will be like that.
Her husband has been writing for so many years, and she knows that such an opportunity is indeed rare.
Lu Jiaxu sighed with difficulty, and then walked slowly.
In fact, he can understand his daughter-in-law's thoughts, just as when he heard that someone asked him to write a script, he was also excited for two nights, although he knew that the chance was slim, but he still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
It seems that after so many years, someone finally knows how to appreciate themselves.
Now it's a big step forward.
It becomes a one-in-three chance of being selected, and it is false to say that you are not impressed.
If it weren't for the master's reminder, he believed that he would have sent the manuscript out just like his daughter-in-law.
"What's the matter? hasn't been discussed yet?" Huang Jianzhong smiled very calmly: "Don't worry, this is a big deal, you can seriously consider it!"
At the beginning, the other party only posted the plot and outline of the first half of the script on the Internet, and now the final draft is now available.
Chen Yanting plucked up a courageous smile and asked, "Well, should I sign a contract or something?"
"I entrust the work to you, but the copyright is still my husband's, and everyone knows it when they sign an agreement. β
Because according to Master Li, if the manuscript is handed over, it may be cheated, and without any contractual guarantee, no one can prove who owns the work.
But if you don't give it to the other party, the work may be buried.
So knowing that it might be a scam, they still chose to come over and gamble.
Huang Jianzhong suddenly smiled, patted his head and smiled: "Look at my memory, don't you say that I almost forgot this stubble." β
After that, Huang Jianzhong took out a contract prepared in advance in his bag, and he said with a smile: "I have brought all the contracts here, and I must sign them, so as not to have any disputes." β
"You guys take a look at the contract first, and I'll make a copy of this draft!"
The corners of his mouth rose and he smiled: "This is the power of attorney, and the name of the copyright holder." β
"Look, write the name of the work here, and then ask your husband to sign it!"
"Pen name real name, by the way, did you bring your identity?"
"I also made a copy of my ID card, which was sandwiched in the contract. β
Lu Jiaxu also handed over his ID card, and he had signed a similar contract for a few points, so he looked at it very carefully because he was worried that there were holes in it.
The husband and wife analyzed it line by line.
Huang Jianzhong didn't seem to worry about anything wrong with the contract, and poured a cup of tea for the other party with a smile.
"Don't worry, take your time!"
After that, he stood up and smiled, "I'll take this thing to the service desk next to it and ask them to print it." β
In this way, he took the manuscript and the other party's ID card, picked up his purse and turned to leave.
Lu Jiaxu took a deep breath, his brows furrowed vigorously, as if he really couldn't see anything wrong.
The contract is written very clearly, and the work belongs to you.
The other party only has this power of attorney, and only charges a 10% service fee.
"It should be fine!"
Chen Yanting raised her head and looked at her husband with some excitement, "Look at this, all the copyrights of the work belong to the author, and fill in your name here." β
The two picked up their pens and licked the contract as they studied.
"Party B, we should be Party B, here is your pen name. β
ββ¦β¦β
Ten minutes passed so silently.
When they were about to look up, they were stunned to find that Huang Jianzhong was gone, and the other party's handbag seemed to have been taken away.
Lu Jiaxu's heart was suddenly shocked, and he anxiously looked around trying to find the other party's figure, but he couldn't find anyone at all.
A terrible possibility came to mind, and he immediately picked up the business card handed by the other party and called it according to the number.
I found out that it was the phone number given to me by the other party at the beginning, and I called once when I agreed to meet at the cafΓ© at the airport.
"Hello, your call is temporarily unavailable!
Chen Yanting asked in a panic, "How is it?
Lu Jiaxu shook his head with white lips and said, "I can't get through." β
Her head went blank, she choked on her breath, and her legs went limp......
