Early the next morning, Shen You was pleasantly surprised to receive a call from Pei Lao.

"Boss Shen, I have already told Director Zhang about the audition, the audition time is scheduled for next Wednesday, and the location is on the fourteenth floor of the headquarters of Summit Entertainment, and when the time comes, we will go over together. ”

"Okay, thank you Pei Lao, I will definitely prepare well. ”

"Oh, by the way, when I went back yesterday, I found an extra notebook in my pocket, and you put the manuscript of the novel "Farewell My Concubine" on me, right?"

Shen You replied with a smile: "Yes, before on the roundtable show, I said that I would serve the clumsy work after the show, please correct it."

After Pei Lao read it, what do you think?"

"A rare masterpiece, the editor-in-chief Yao of the Literature and Art Publishing House was amazed after reading "Farewell My Concubine", and said that he wanted to meet the author of the novel, are you free today?"

Shen You's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "Free, free, I don't know where Editor-in-Chief Yao is working today?"

"Haha, he's reading your novel in my study right now, I live at No. 29 Mao'er Hutong, you can just come here. ”

"Okay, goodbye Pei Lao. ”

Hung up the phone, cleaned up briefly at home, and Shen You went out. called a taxi at the door, and he went straight to the hat alley that Pei Lao said.

More than an hour later, Shen You came to a courtyard house in Mao'er Hutong.

"Yanjing Old Courtyard, this is a real mansion!"

Shen You was full of envy and knocked lightly.

"Boss Shen is here. ”

Hearing Shen You knock on the door, Pei Qingfeng and a silver-haired old man came out together.

The silver-haired old man was not tall, wearing a gray suit, with a pipe in his mouth, and he looked very imposing.

invited Shen You to the living room, and after taking a seat, Pei Qingfeng introduced the two of them respectively: "This is the boss of Shen Yuelou, a famous corner of Liyuan, and this is Yao Yumin, the editor-in-chief of Huaxia Literature and Art Publishing House. ”

"Edited by Yao. ”

"Hello Boss Shen. ”

Shen You got up and shook Yao Yumin's hand.

Yao Yumin said with a smile: "I should have thought that the one who could write the story of the pear orchard so movingly must be a person in the pear orchard industry like Boss Shen."

The writing is as delicate as a woman, and she can write very much, but she has a grand view of history, and she depicts the turbulent history through the ups and downs of the fate of the servants, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an epic. ”

Yao's editor-in-chief Miao praised. ”

After listening to Yao Yumin's evaluation, Shen You couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sure enough, there is no vanity under the fame, this editor-in-chief Yao is really level.

The book "Farewell My Concubine" written by myself is more based on the movie script of the previous life.

And speaking of the movie script of "Farewell My Concubine", there is a very interesting story.

In his previous life, when Director Chen first saw Ms. Li's original "Farewell My Concubine", he bluntly said that the work was too secondary, and it was just a third-rate romance novel.

It was Ms. Xu Feng who insisted, and Director Chen hired the famous screenwriter Lu Wei (the screenwriter of the movie "Alive") to rewrite the script, which led to the later "Farewell My Concubine".

Unfortunately, due to the lack of copyright awareness in the mainland at that time, Lu Wei did not sign a contract when he wrote the script, resulting in him not having the copyright and publishing rights of the script.

Later, the movie was a great success, and Ms. Li rewrote the novel "Farewell My Concubine" based on Lu Wei's movie script and published it, which is now circulating in the market, but Lu Wei wanted to publish the "Farewell My Concubine" movie script written by herself, but got into a copyright lawsuit.

Therefore, when Yao Yumin can see at a glance that this book has a grand historical view of reeds and Ms. Li's delicate writing, Shen You will be so amazed.

Yao Yumin gave Pei Qingfeng a look, Pei Qingfeng smiled, looked at Shen You and said, "Today, Lao Yao asked me to invite you here because I want you to authorize this novel "Farewell My Concubine" to be published by the Literature and Art Publishing House, I don't know what you think?"

Shen You smiled: "It is my honor that the clumsy work can be favored by Editor-in-Chief Yao, and I agree to hand over this novel to the Literature and Art Publishing House for publication." ”

Giving the manuscript of the novel to Pei Lao was originally to find a way to publish, but now that the goal has been achieved, Shen You will naturally not be stupid enough to refuse.

Yao Yumin hugged his fists and said, "Thank you Boss Shen for your success." ”

The cooperation intention between the two parties has been reached, and the next step is the issue of royalty sharing.

According to the usual practice, the royalty share of the new Chinese author is only 6%, but with Pei Lao's face, and the quality of the work of "Farewell My Concubine" is high enough, Yao Yumin gave Shen You 8% of the royalty share.

The matter was agreed, and the two parties signed the contract directly.

Pei Qingfeng intended to leave Shen You and Yao Yumin at home for lunch, Yao Yumin thought about the follow-up publication and publicity plan of "Farewell My Concubine", and after refusing, he hurriedly left with the authorization contract.

Subsequently, Shen You also took the opportunity to say goodbye, but was left behind by Pei Lao.

Pei Qingfeng walked into the study, took out more than a dozen books and handed them to Shen You's hand: "These are all materials I used to learn from when I wrote "The Last Emperor", which contains Chai Yuan's autobiography, commentaries of the times and correspondence between him and celebrities at that time, you take it back and take a look, I hope it will help you in this audition." ”

"Thank you Pei Lao, I will definitely go all out for this audition and will not let you down. ”

Shen You solemnly thanked him, and his heart was full of emotion.

Although they have only known each other for two days, Shen You can see that Pei Lao really loves him.

Back at home, Shen You began to seriously study the information given by Pei Lao.

It's Friday, and we're less than five days until next Wednesday, and a lot of things have to be rescheduled in the meantime.

The editing of "Two Flowers: Tsing Yi" has been postponed for the first time, the matter of going to Dr. Li's clinic has to be postponed, and the matter of organizing classes discussed with Uncle Chen has to wait for the audition.

For him, the most important thing at the moment is Chai Yuan's audition this time.

In the next five days, in addition to reading these books given by Pei Lao, Shen You also deliberately collected documentaries about Chai Yuan, and listened to the recordings of several important speeches by Chai Yuan that are still in history......

The sound and smile, together with the autobiography, letters, and commentaries of the contemporaries, read through these, and the image of Chai Yuan slowly became three-dimensional in Shen You's heart.

Wednesday morning, Summit Entertainment Headquarters.

The driver, Xiao Zhou, parked the car at the door, and Shen You and Pei Qingfeng walked out of the car.

After five days, seeing Boss Shen again, Pei Qingfeng found that the temperament of Boss Shen was more and more consistent with Chai Yuan in his heart, and it seemed that the books he gave him played a role.

Entering the Pinnacle Entertainment Building, going up to the fourteenth floor, Pei Lao was invited by Director Zhang to the conference room inside, and Shen You entered another room under the leadership of the staff.

The room is not big, there are about a dozen people sitting and standing in it, as soon as Shen You came in, everyone looked at him with their eyes in unison, with vigilance and alienation in their eyes.

Seeing this, Shen You didn't care, he sat straight to a vacant seat in the corner and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
