"Oh, nothing. Zhou Xuan came back to his senses and said nothing.

In order not to affect his mood, Zhou Xuan endured the anger in his heart and still talked and laughed with everyone.

And in the county seat, Wei Xiyue, who had just called Zhou Xuan, said with a smile to Yan Ling, the editor-in-chief of Zhongzhou Publishing House next to him: "You actually hung up on me, I haven't finished talking yet?"

When Zhou Zixuan heard the news you said, his anger can be imagined. Public opinion reversed in one day, and the originally good situation can be said to have been wiped out. If this is a war, then today is the beginning of Zhou Zixuan's defeat. Yan Ling also smiled and was in a good mood.

It seems that the face lost in Zhou Xuan yesterday was suddenly recovered from here.

It was yesterday morning that I accidentally learned about an internal party the night before. Zhang Yimou, a well-known director in China, likes "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" serialized in "Novel Monthly" very much, and intends to make this novel into a movie.

Then Yan Ling knew that this was an opportunity, and then discussed it with several leaders of the publishing house in Zhongzhou for the first time. In the end, it was decided that before the news spread, he would win the publishing rights of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" plus the film and television adaptation rights, and wait to work with Director Zhang to shoot a movie.

In this way, Yan Ling didn't even bring an assistant, she booked a direct flight from Zhongzhou to Rongcheng at six o'clock in the morning, and took the car directly to Rongzhou after getting off the plane. After running around for most of the day, I finally met the legendary Zhou Zixuan in the afternoon - the popular writer, the author of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" and "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree".

Although he sighed at Zhou Xuan's age, he personally came out as the editor-in-chief of a first-class publishing house in China. Coupled with the favorable publishing conditions of the publishing house, I believe that the Chinese publishing and film and television copyright of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" should be at hand.

But the final result was very unexpected by Yan Ling, making her, a person who has been in the publishing industry for more than 20 years, very faceless, and the authority of the editor-in-chief of a first-class publishing house was challenged.

With her status as the editor-in-chief of a first-class publishing house, in addition to the most famous literary masters in China, other writers did not greet her with a smile. Although Zhou Xuan's Ming Dynasty has broken the first-week sales record for more than ten years since its publication, Zhou Xuan is a newcomer in the writer's circle after all.

In her eyes, Zhou Xuan is a little ignorant, and he is arrogant when he has some achievements. Originally, I heard Zhou Xuan say yesterday that he would not transfer the copyright of film and television and that the royalty share still needed 20%, so at that time, he really wanted to leave. But years of self-cultivation have made her calm down and think about how to get benefits for the publishing house.

Therefore, she did not go back to Zhongzhou immediately, but went back to the best hotel in the county and sat in the lobby. While thinking, I watched the people coming in and out of the lobby. She wants to see what other publishing houses have come over, and like her, they are ready to take the film and television rights of Hawthorn Tree Love from Zhou Xuan.

Later, her prediction was very accurate, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, she met an old acquaintance in the lobby - Wei Xiyue, the editor-in-chief of Xiling Publishing House.

Seeing that Wei Xiyue's face was not very good-looking, Yan Ling's mind suddenly became active. Originally, she thought that Xiling was the most likely to get "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", but now it seems to be wrong.

According to Xiling's all-out propaganda of the Ming Dynasty and the situation of using resources to make enemies with the Northern Publishing House, Xiling wanted to make every effort to protect the Ming Dynasty and Zhou Zixuan in order to enter the first-class publishing house in China.

But because of Zhou Xuan's lion's big mouth, Wei Xiyue and the president of Xiling Publishing House were not satisfied.

I have to say that Yan Ling, a woman, is indeed very powerful, and in her conversation with Wei Xiyue, she inadvertently amplified Zhou Xuan's arrogance and ignorance, making Wei Xiyue gradually deviate from the original intention of tying Zhou Xuan to Xiling Publishing House with all his might.

"Editor-in-chief Wei, it's been a long time. Seeing that your face is so ugly, isn't it deflated by Zhou Xuan?"

"...... you" Wei Xiyue was taken aback when he heard Yan Ling's words, just now he was still thinking about why Zhou Xuan didn't transfer the film and television copyright when he was killed, but now seeing Yan Ling here, he suddenly understood everything in his heart.

Thinking of this, Wei Xiyue thought that he understood everything, and looked at Yan Ling coldly and said, "Editor-in-chief Yan came quickly! Didn't you take a plane directly to Rongcheng in the morning, and then arrived here non-stop, but in the end you were angry?"

Yan Ling didn't refute Wei Xiyue's ridicule, but said: "It's strange that you Xiling raised Zhou Xuan's worth too high, and our other publishing houses have to raise the royalty to 20% if they want to publish "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree". Think that when we serialized the love of the hawthorn tree, it was only more than 100 yuan and 1,000 words? According to reason, you Xiling and Zhou Xuan cooperated so well, Zhou Xuan should give you the publishing rights and film and television rights of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree"? Are you not satisfied with the price?

"Sixteen percent, plus 100,000 film and television copyright transfer fees, what about you?" Anyway, Zhou Xuan has already said that he will not transfer the love of the hawthorn tree, and Wei Xiyue has nothing to keep secret about the conditions of the publishing house, of course, he didn't say that Zhou Xuan mentioned that he didn't want 15% of the film and television copyright.

Yan Ling had such an expression and said with a smile: "This Zhou Xuan was really raised by you, and the sixteen percent royalty CD is not satisfied. We mentioned 15 percent, but he asked for 20 percent, and it was only in Chinese. He doesn't sell other film and television copyrights? What do you say he relied on?

Wei Xiyue was silent when he heard Yan Ling's words.

"The Ming Dynasty has only been sold for half a month, although it has already sold hundreds of thousands of copies, which can be called the best book in ten years. But now that the Northern Publishing House and other first-class publishing houses are cracking down, it will be difficult to say if there are any more unexpected situations. It's not like this kind of situation has happened before, thinking that if a book is published, it is very arrogant, and dare to mention such and such conditions. Hehe, in the end, it was not the obedience of the publishing house. I said, you Xiling shouldn't get used to him. Twenty percent of the royalty share, maybe you don't make as much as Zhou Xuan in the end. ”

Yan Ling's words are also good, even the royalty share of the top writers in China is only 20%, plus Xiling's investment in such a big publicity this time, as well as the struggle with the Northern Publishing House, the investment has obviously exceeded the budget a lot. And Zhou Xuan wrote the manuscript and didn't do anything, and in the end he actually divided more than the publishing house, which made Xiling how willing.

When Wei Xiyue heard this, he was also bitter in his heart, this time those people from the Northern Publishing House invested a lot in order to stop Xiling, which made the publishing house very passive. If it continues like this, a large part of the profits from Xiling's publishing will be shared, and it is likely that it will not be as much as Zhou Xuan's by then.

And the publishing house just wanted to pick up the leak and obtain the publishing rights and film and television rights of Hawthorn Tree Love, but Zhou Xuan actually didn't sell it, which really made Wei Xiyue angry.

"Why don't you really let Zhou Xuan know the means of knowing the publishing house?" Wei Xiyue's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Yan Ling looked at Wei Xiyue and said in a timely manner: "In this regard, I think we can also give out some Li in Zhongzhou." ”

"Okay, then let's have a good talk. Wei Xiyue finally temporarily let go of his original intention of trying his best to win over Zhou Xuan, and instead used means to control Zhou Xuan.

But is Zhou Xuan under their control? Obviously not.
