After Zhang Chu hung up the phone, he walked briskly towards the teaching building, he didn't want to be late.

"Zhang Chu, please wait!"

Lei Luo, the student representative he had just seen in the office, trotted all the way from behind, and stopped in front of Zhang Chu before he began to gasp for breath.

It's only a short walk, but I'm too tired to do it.

Zhang Chu, who was confused, was a little puzzled, "Classmate, do you have anything to do with me?"

"I just saw you in the bidding office staying in the team of Hanlinxuan Bookstore, so I wanted to ask you what kind of background this bookstore has to drive out the Weeds Bookstore. ”

"Well, that's our bookstore, so I don't have any background. Anyway, if it wasn't for Han Linxuan, it would be the Xinhua Bookstore in Hui Province, and the Wild Grass Bookstore wouldn't be able to keep it at all!"

Lei Luo's eyes widened in surprise, "Your bookstore?

Zhang Chu nodded in confirmation, and replied, "That's right, it's just that I was on the Jiangcheng side before, and this time it's just a matter of trying my luck." ”

Just now, Lei Luo stopped Zhang Chu, and originally wanted to use the influence of this well-known alumnus to test the pressure on the school, so that the feelings of the Yan University students in the Wild Grass Bookstore could stay, but it turned out that Hanlin Xuan belonged to his family, which made Lei Luo a little tired!

The words in his mind couldn't be said at all, Lei Luo could only say blankly: "Then I wish your bookstore a prosperous business, I have something to do and leave first." ”

Lei Luo is not a very unreasonable person, the current form is irreversible, and all he can do is go to the Wild Grass Bookstore and buy the last few books as a trivial support.

"Thank you, when the time comes, I'll give you a discount membership card for seniors. ”

"No, no, no. Lei Luo quickly waved his hand and refused, and he trotted all the way and left.

Although Zhang Chu felt a little inexplicable, he shook his head and walked forward, he didn't know Lei Luo's intention to stop just now, was it just to say hello or find himself to inquire about the situation in Hanlinxuan Bookstore?

After coming to the teaching building, Zhang Chu accurately found his classroom, found a place to sit next to the window, and then turned on his mobile phone and began to browse the news.

Before Zhang Bowen was in Jiangcheng, he knew the news of his agreement with Warner in advance, and it is estimated that the Internet is already boiling at this time.

Sure enough!

The news of Hollywood's purchase of "Life of Pi" has been on the pages of major entertainment news, cultural news, and social news, and various media are vying to report it.

"Youth Pi is in Warner, and it is expected to be released in the summer of 2020!"

"Chinese writer Zhang Chu made history, and the copyright of "Youth School" was sold at a sky-high price!"

"China conquers Hollywood, take stock of the classic films that have been adapted from them. ”

"Here's what you need to know about Pi!"

"It was rumored on the Internet that "Life of Pi" was highly sought after, and Warner successfully got it. ”

"The long-awaited copyright battle has come to an end, and Hollywood tycoon Warner Bros. is the ultimate winner!"

"Pouring a basin of cold water, Hollywood is vying for China, perhaps just to earn the Chinese film market!"

"Zhang Chu has added another magical resume, it is reported that Warner Bros. will invest hundreds of millions of dollars in the filming of "Youth Pi", aiming at the 2020 awards season!"

"It has become fashionable to implant Chinese elements in Hollywood movies recently, and Hollywood movie predators, who have always been optimistic about China's box office potential, have recently rushed to China, and the best-selling film and television rights of "Life of Pi" have been bought by Hollywood for $10 million. ”

This news is like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, causing heated discussions in all aspects of society, not only online news and media are spreading, but even many TV stations have introduced it into entertainment news broadcasts, although there is no official news!

The opinions of netizens are roughly divided into three types, among which the majority are in favor.

"Are you really sure it's Warner?

"I haven't read the book, but is it really realistic to be worth $10 million?"

"Life Pi is really good, and it's the right choice to let this kind of big company shoot it, and I don't know how the movie will be made. Do you want to go to the circus and find a tiger to play it?"

"In 2020, I have to wait for a long time, and I hope that the filming will be completed as soon as possible, and I hope that it will be slowly refined. ”

"Isn't it just a movie ticket?

"Support the sale of the copyright, so that Zhang Chu will have a lot of money to write what he wants. ”

"I highly recommend everyone to watch "Life of Pi", the writing style is very different from "Sou Shen Ji" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". ”

But in fact, there are many people who scoff at this news, as if they are the only ones in the whole world who are awake, and the whole world is drunk and I feel sober!

"Hollywood's grabbing China is not worth being happy about at all, it's just that the Chinese film market has a lot of money and is easy to make. ”

"Hahahaha, have Warners read this book, this is a story about an Indian teenager, not a Chinese teenager. I seriously suspected that Warner would find a white teenager to be the protagonist at that time, and I was distressed for a second. ”

"If you think about it with your toes, you know that $10 million is impossible, are you stupid to be Hollywood? ”

"Seriously, the film and television prospects of "Youth Pi" are not very promising, and it is estimated that it will lose money!"

There are a lot of discussions on the Internet, and Zhang Chu's fans are very happy, and it is a great experience to see their favorite works appear on the big screen.

Those who haven't seen it are discussing the authenticity of these news, while those who have seen it are struggling with how the movie will be adapted.

Thanks to so many topics, the search volume of "Youth Pi" has skyrocketed, and many netizens were surprised to find that the abbreviation that the media has always used!

They thought that "Life of Pi" was the name, but they didn't expect the full name to be "Life of Pi", something so simple that someone actually got it wrong.

Books with domestic sales of less than 3 million copies frequently appeared in front of audiences, netizens, and readers in this news spotlight, and many people were curious about what kind of work would be favored by Hollywood predators, and the number of encyclopedia entries skyrocketed.

Posts about Youth Pi can be seen anywhere on the Internet, and it is really popular all over the Internet!

There are more than 100,000 posts about "Life of Pi" in the post bar, which were discussed by Zhang Chu's readers before, and now they are available in various places such as the Oscar bar, the North American box office bar, the movie box office bar, and the movie bar.

Predicting the box office, reprinting news, asking for details of stories, and the overseas influence of popular science works!

Zhihu, Baidu Know, Weibo, Douban Group, Hupu, QQ Group, Tianya, as well as various forums and social media, Youth Pi is a hot word.

The fast-eyed Weibo marketing accounts have sent out a long Weibo for the first time to introduce, which has greatly helped the youth school spread.

The "cruel truth" that was discussed at the beginning appeared in the eyes of netizens again, which is the real story of the animal version or the story of cannibalism, and the long-dormant book review was once again brought up!

On this day, the sales of "Youth Pi" began to rise violently, and it even came to the top ten of Amazon's weekly e-book sales list, and the e-book sales list of Douban Reading jumped into the top five, and there was a trend of reaching the top if there was a disagreement.

The effect of this increase in sales is stronger than the previous Booker Award nomination!

After all, the literary award is not well-known in China, but the news of the adaptation into a movie is more shocking and closer to the lives of netizens.

……

After careful review by the lawyers of both parties, Zhang Chu and Julian signed their names on each other's contracts, and when the outside world began to report that Warner had chosen a director, they actually signed the contract.

"Happy working together!"

"Happy working together!"

Zhang Chu finally chose the model with a ladder of global box office dividends, at least with this dividend, he has a negligible right to suggest the script and production of the movie, rather than being completely excluded.

Julian fears that something will go wrong with his contract, and he is only now relieved, and if he messes up David-Nett's project this time, he will probably have to resign and leave.

"The media is terrible now, and the truth of their words is too low. Mr. Davy did not start filming blindly, but decided to find a director and screenwriter to write the script first. ”

"You are film professionals, of course I trust you, and if you need me, you can always come to me. Zhang Chu made a phone call.

Julian locked the contract in the lockbox, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I take it." I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, this pond in China is too small, you have the strength to jump out!"

However, Zhang Chu shook his head and did not echo, "The world is so big, I will go out to see it one day, but not now." Let's wait until I gain a foothold in the domestic market, the foundation is the most important, isn't it?"

"Absolutely. Goodbye, handsome Chinese writer. ”

After Julian was in a relaxed mood, there was not so much solemnity in his words, and he was actually in the mood to laugh at this time.

After watching Warner and his party go away, Zhou Kangcai clenched his fists excitedly, "I finally signed a contract, if I didn't sign a contract in the end, I would probably be ridiculed to death!"

The whole network is reporting on Juvenile Pi and Warner, but fortunately they signed a contract today, and there are no more nights and dreams, and there are no other companies to add variables.

In fact, the Lionsgate folks did fight for it, but they didn't offer more than half of Warner's!

In any aspect, Lionsgate is not as good as Warner, if Zhang Chu chooses Lionsgate, he must be caught in the head by the door.

"Uncle Zhou, you can help me contact the editor Gu of Nanhai Publishing Company, I will first hand over the finished content of "Sou Shen Ji" to them for review and proofreading, and the finale will be handed over to them within three days. ”

Zhou Kang, who was still celebrating just now, was taken aback by Zhang Chu's terrifying progress at this time, "Didn't you say that there are one or two million words?

"There are still tens of thousands of words left unfinished, so I asked them to look at the content in front of them, anyway, they can't read everything in one day. ”

The review and proofreading of the publishing house needs to be treated carefully, and it is not the usual kind of reading that looks like a glance and ten lines.

"You're really a codeword machine! You usually spend all your free time writing books, right? You still have to listen carefully in class, you can't get distracted and think about the plot or anything, and don't stay up late every day without sleeping because you're young. ”

Zhou Kang said this from the perspective of his uncle, not from the perspective of an agent, if it is a simple agent, I am afraid that I like this kind of writer who desperately squeezes himself!
