"This is Xiao Zhang, it's really a young talent!"

Li Li of Huace Film and Television praised and said, he looked tall and thin, and he looked shrewd.

Several high-level executives of film and television companies next to them also got up to say hello, and it was usually the authors who came to scold them, but standing in front of them was a fierce man who dared to fight a transnational lawsuit in the United States, and they couldn't help but be careless.

Zhang Chu smiled modestly and disguised himself as a young man who was not good at words, "Director Li praised it falsely, I just wrote something casually, I didn't expect so many people to like it." ”

Yida Film sent a female vice president, she looked no more than thirty years old, and then said: "This is too modest, your "Psychological Crime" is quite well written, in fact, we studied your book before it was published, which is very suitable for film and television adaptation. Our Yida film has a lot of money, and it also has its own cinema line support, which is a very good partner to work with. ”

"Seniors, I don't know much about the film and television industry, you can talk to my literary agent, Mr. Zhou Kang. As the saying goes, there is a specialization in the art industry, and it is better for me to be in charge of writing. ”

Zhang Chu didn't want to have an in-depth understanding of these nonsense things, so he pushed them all to Zhou Kang, and he sat back and enjoyed his achievements, which is why he shared 10% of the profits to hire a literary agent.

As a writer, it is inconvenient, and I don't have so much time and energy to negotiate slowly, and I can maximize my interests by leaving it to professionals, since these film and television companies have been observing since they were still serializing "Psychological Crime" on Weibo, it proves that their willingness to buy is quite strong.

In fact, Zhang Chu doesn't know what level his worth should be, he always feels a little at a loss when he sells 5 million at one time, these are two kinds of copyrights, and 5 million for movies and TV series is about the same.

However, he also knows that this seems to be a bit of a lion's mouth, strictly speaking, Zhang Chu is still a newcomer, his works have not been tested by the market, and there are no historical achievements to refer to.

Many writers sell their first works cheaply, but the price of their second works soars tenfold or even dozens of times, because the movies or TV series adapted from the first works have achieved remarkable results and have the confidence to increase the price.

The price of 5 million yuan offered by Huace Film and Television is actually a sky-high price for a newcomer, but Menglong Culture Company is a businessman, since it directly opened a high price, it must be quoted at a higher price, which is the nature of profit-seeking!

Zhou Kang naturally greeted the leaders of these companies, and he also knew that it was impossible for these people to reply directly to the numbers, and it was not easy to stay here for more than ten minutes, after all, there were still many things to do at the entire trading conference, and now it was just a meeting and waiting for follow-up contact.

……

Zhang Chu looked at the rest of the recommended works curiously, but he didn't expect that a short and fat old man with gray hair suddenly stood in front of him.

"Are you Zhang Chu?"

The old man looked at the portrait introduced by the author at the back of the book "Psychological Crime" in his hand, and then looked up at the young man in front of him.

Zhang Chu didn't deny it, he thought he had met a reader, so he nodded and said, "It's me, uncle, do you want to sign it?"

However, the old man shook his head and said, "I don't want to sign." ”

For the first time, he took the initiative to sign an autograph for others, but was rejected, and Zhang Chu finally understood what embarrassment was.

"I want to talk to you about film and television adaptations. This is my business card. ”

After that, Zhang Chu had a thin business card in his hand, with the words Xu Ji Film and Television Studio written on it, and the name below had no title, but Xu Ji's two words said everything, this studio is his!

"Xu Ji, does this name sound a little familiar?" Zhang Chu thought seriously in his heart, always feeling that he had heard of it somewhere.

Suddenly, the name of a movie appeared in his mind, so he blurted out: "You made "Sun Burning Heart"?"

Old Man Xu laughed, he thought that this young man didn't know his work, so he finally saved himself from introducing himself, "I took it, what do you think?"

"Very good movie, both the plot of the movie and the performances of the actors are very good and very tense!"

Zhang Chu has indeed seen this film, who made it a rare crime suspense movie in China in recent years, and it is also a work adapted from a novel.

Xu Ji is not only this movie, he is the most famous director in China, known as the actor and actress maker, and has filmed many famous works in film history, especially suspense movies.

In recent years, there have been endless bad Chinese movies, and Mr. Xu has become one of the fig leafs for Chinese movies.

In order to avoid being deceived, Zhang Chu also used the off-site help function in the system, and a mere 500 reputation value is a drop in the bucket for a local tyrant with 30 million reputation points, he carefully compared the person in front of him with the information on the Internet, it is indeed Xu Ji himself!

A smile appeared on Xu Ji's wrinkled face, and he pointed to the seat not far away and said, "Alas, I have to serve the old man, how about we go and sit over there and talk?"

"Absolutely. Zhang Chu pondered in his heart, why didn't Xu Ji go to Menglong Cultural Communication Company, but he wanted to come to himself.

After the two sat down in the corner of the venue, Xu Jicai said seriously: "You should have a prequel or sequel to this "Psychological Crime", right? I read the previous chapters on the Internet, and yesterday I bought a physical book to read the finale. Fang Mu is definitely not dead, this should be preparing for the sequel, but Fang Mu's life has not been explained clearly before, do you want to use the prequel to tell it?"

"Director Xu has good eyesight, this is just one of the works in the "Psychological Crime" series, and there are several others, but they have not been written for the time being. ”

Zhang Chu can hear Xu Ji's sincerity from this, not every big director has time to read these works slowly.

"And so it was. Xu Ji was very proud, like an old child, "If I come to make this movie, I will delete all the involvement in the story and the previous work, and shoot it as an independent crime story, because we don't have enough space to explain to the audience." ”

If a normal director comes to shoot, he will try his best to make it into a series of movies, from 1 to 7 or something, but Xu Ji did the opposite and wanted to shoot an independent work.

Zhang Chu believes in Xu Ji's directing ability, but this does not mean that he is willing to hand over the film adaptation rights, and this has to speak with interests.

Just as he was about to ask, Zhou Kang's phone called, "Hey, Zhang Chu, if you are in the venue, please come back quickly, there are a few foreign copyright dealers in our exhibition hall, and I want to talk to you." ”
