081. Familiar strangers

On the third floor of Century Entertainment, the little assistant was reporting to Hawke and Fangzheng.

After three days of hard work by the legal department, the impact of the leak has been minimized, and the company signed a contract with Lewen Group yesterday to officially publish "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" on November 1. ”

"What about the size of the publishing and the city of distribution?" Hawke asked.

The beautiful assistant was fully prepared and immediately replied: "Based on market research and fan pre-orders, "Fairy Sword" will be released in ten cities including Beijing and Shanghai, and the first batch of printing is 100,000 copies. ”

"For other cities and the Eagle Country Market, Sanjiang Pavilion will issue an electronic version on behalf of the company. ”

Fang Zheng was very satisfied with the little assistant's answer, he turned his head to Hawke and said: "I didn't expect you to achieve unexpected results in this gift-giving move, many netizens were full of expectations after reading the first five chapters of your bib the day before yesterday, and contributed a lot of pre-orders." ”

"I would also like to thank the company for taking timely action to prevent the large-scale spread of piracy on the Internet. Hawke replied politely.

The two men looked at each other, and both wisely did not mention anything more.

On the morning of the 20th, when Hawke saw the leaks of the Petal Forum, his first reaction was that the century had done it.

If it was his iron fan, he would definitely not do such a thing that would harm his interests, and if he was a black fan, he would definitely upload the whole book.

This kind of behavior of uploading only the first and fourth volumes, as well as a limited number of illustrations, is most likely hype.

The first volume talks about Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er setting off for Nanzhao Kingdom from the beginning, and the fourth volume is the story of "Butterfly Love".

Hawke is unclear whether this was planned by Founder or granted by other management.

Since the starting point is to bring heat to himself, and he doesn't stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person, it is inconvenient for Hawke to ask directly about this matter.

Anyway, he knew that Fang Zheng knew this, and he also knew that Fang Zheng knew that he knew the above things, so it was better to maintain a tacit understanding with each other.

Now Hawke doesn't have a personal studio, and many things are out of his control.

But as long as the end result is in his favor, he doesn't care so much.

Seeing that the two of them didn't talk anymore, the assistant saw the opportunity and continued: "The sound emperor counted the electronic sales of the single this morning, and it was downloaded more than 700,000 times, and the major charts all entered the top 20. ”

After Hawke made it clear that he could not participate in the charts due to schedule problems, fans spent all the money they planned to vote on the charts for downloads, making the three-day downloads of "The Promise" dozens of times that of Hawke's first original song "I'm Yours" a year ago.

Compared to a year ago, the number of followers has increased fivefold, and the doubling of sales is even more terrifying, reflecting the rise of Hawke's national popularity and fan purchasing power.

The results of a birthday party have far exceeded expectations, and it is no wonder that the little assistant is frowning when he reports.

After a few more simple summaries, the assistant left.

"You really surprised us this time. Fang Zheng praised, "Mr. Zhao also specifically mentioned you at the meeting yesterday. ”

"It was also planned by Brother Zheng, so that my birthday party would get a lot of traffic. Hawke accentuated the word "planning" when he said it, and there was something in his words.

Fang Zhengxin did not change his color to divert this topic: "Yesterday, someone from Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV came over and invited you to a variety show, but I pushed it." ”

After working with the other party for a while, Hawke knew Fangzheng's speaking habits, so he didn't immediately ask him why.

"Liu Congyun also contacted me over there in "Star Girl" and asked if you have any schedule to join the group for filming for three weeks in the near future. ”

Fangzheng's explanation was somewhat unexpected by Hawke.

"At that time, a resident contract was signed, and four of the ten episodes have been filmed, according to the plan, the next time I joined the group was really twelve, why was it more than a month in advance?"

"These three weeks of shooting are not under contract, and the salary is not included. Fang Zheng replied, "In addition, Director Meng in Shanghai also invited you to shoot another episode of variety shows, and there is a conflict between the two times, and you need to make a trade-off." ”

"Did Director Meng say that he would invite a few guests?" Hawke asked the most important question directly.

If there are only one or two guests, and the theme is good, Hawke thinks it's worth visiting.

If he had to fight wits and courage with a few guests from the heavens, he was really tired.

Hearing Hawke's question, Fang Zheng said with a smile: "Originally, only three guests were invited, and the other two were also young actors, but yesterday Wang Hui heard about this and planned to stuff a few newcomers under him over." ”

Wang Hui, like Fangzheng, is a veteran agent of Century Entertainment, and the six newcomers signed this year are divided in half.

Hearing Fang Zheng say this, Hawk is not happy, he stuffed a few newcomers, and Yang Shanshan and He Feng under Fang Zheng will definitely be dissatisfied, and they may have to go if they make a fuss.

Buy one get five free, it's not cost-effective for yourself no matter how you think about it.

While embarrassing Director Meng, he couldn't get a few shots, so he really had to do it unless his brain was in water.

It can be seen that Fang Zheng wanted him to shoot a TV series from the beginning.

"In the past few months, I have realized that I still need to hone and learn on the road of acting. Even if he didn't want to bring five oil bottles, Hawk couldn't say it clearly, he had to find a lofty reason, "I still think that participating in the filming of TV series can make me improve quickly, what do you think?"

"Well, I think so too. Fang Zheng nodded seriously and said, "Then I'll contact Congyun for a meal and discuss the time to join the group." ”

......

The next morning, Hawke and Fang Zheng came to the place agreed by Liu Congyun.

Before lunch, Liu Congyun booked a private room for Cantonese-style morning tea.

As soon as Hawke entered, he saw a woman sitting next to Screenwriter Liu, a stranger familiar to Hawke.

said familiar because she was in every episode of "Star Girl", and Hawke could see her on both sides for three days when he was in the crew.

To say stranger is that Hawke and she have never spoken officially.

- Tang Shiying, the woman who is the same protagonist as Zhai Xuan in "Xingwen Girl".

Why is this girl here today?

After some pleasantries, everyone took their seats.

The waiter came over with a small cart and asked the crowd what they wanted to eat, and Hawk asked for a steamed ribs.

"Chicken feet, barbecued pork buns, and shrimp dumplings all need a thank you. Tang Shiying, who was sitting opposite Hawke, said to the waiter with a smile, "Sister, can you talk to the small cart next to her, and you also want a bowl of porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork." ”

Tang Shiying's "sister" made the waiter with gray temples extremely happy, and after serving food to everyone, she personally went to the small cart next to her to bring the porridge.

"Thank you, sister!" the girl quickly stood up and took the bowl with both hands, and then asked Hawke, who was sitting opposite, "Do you want it?" ”

Hawk took a dip, but he also liked to drink this porridge.

After politely saying thank you, Hawke took the initiative to pick up the cutlery and help her divide it.

Liu Congyun on the side asked for a pot of chrysanthemum tea and fish fillet porridge, and then sat there slowly and drank it without hurry.

A small cart came again, and Tang Shiying said quickly, "Can my sister give me a custard bun, almond bun and poplar branch nectar?"

When the table was already full of dishes, Liu Congyun began to talk about business.
