Chapter Seventy-Eight: Making American's Money
The boys and girls looked at each other, but Tang Xin was slightly cramped, while Ye Leiyang was thoughtful.
"My dad works in the municipal party committee." As if to explain something, Tang Xin glanced at Ye Leiyang and whispered.
Ye Leiyang nodded, his heart moved, if he remembered correctly, this year's secretary of the Beihai Municipal Party Committee is surnamed Tang, could it be that Tang Xin is that person's daughter?
Thinking so in his heart, he immediately smiled bitterly again, shook his head slightly, he was too whimsical, if Tang Xin was the daughter of the secretary of the municipal party committee, how could he take the bus to school every day.
"I'll deliver for my mom." Ye Leiyang smiled and said to Tang Xin.
Tang Xin also nodded, hesitated, and asked Ye Leiyang, "How much is your phone number?" ”
After speaking, he seemed to be afraid that Ye Leiyang would misunderstand: "I want to organize a gathering of classmates during the winter vacation, if you have time, you can do it together." ”
Ye Leiyang laughed, it was rare for Tang Xin to be so shy, and he didn't dwell too much on this matter, nodded and agreed, and told her his phone number.
After doing all this, Ye Leiyang left the municipal party committee compound in steps.
For him, this is a world completely different from his own life, and even if he has any thoughts in his heart, he will not show it. Just like his feelings for Tang Xin, although Ye Leiyang can already be sure that he likes Tang Xin, he and Tang Xin both know that neither of them is sure to bear each other's future. Therefore, each other can only be clicked to stop.
This is not weakness, nor hypocrisy, but because Ye Leiyang knows the reality of this world. Just like the smog that will hang over the city many years from now, everyone knows how it came about, but everyone is playing dumb.
In the evening, Ye Leiyang received a call from Tian Xiaoxu at home.
"What's the matter, my writer brother, there's a new work?" Tian Xiaoxu smiled and teased Ye Leiyang on the phone.
Ye Leiyang had no choice but to take this cousin, and said helplessly: "Sister, last time you said that there was a classmate studying in the United States, is it true?" ”
Tian Xiaoxu was stunned: "Yes, she is my sister in the bunk bed in college, she was admitted to graduate school after graduation, and now she is at MIT, what, do you want to buy anything?" ”
Ye Leiyang laughed: "It's nothing, it's just that I wrote a script and wanted to ask her to help deliver it to a TV station in the United States." ”
"Script?"
Tian Xiaoxu couldn't help but raise his voice when he heard these two words: "You can still write a script?" ”
"It's just written idle and boring, and it feels like it should be very suitable for the needs of the audience over there. If you ask your classmates, if it's convenient, you can help me inquire and help me get the submission email of CBS TV in the United States. Ye Leiyang said to Tian Xiaoxu seriously.
He thought about it for a long time, the domestic environment determined that even if he wrote a good script now, he wouldn't be able to sell it at any price, maybe he would have to be swallowed by someone, as for the adaptation of the novel, he had to make the novel popular first, it was too troublesome, Ye Lei didn't have the time and energy to manage these.
Therefore, he simply chose the simplest and most convenient way, which is to deliver abroad. Although he may have to take a little risk, Ye Leiyang feels that if he can find someone he can trust, this matter should not be very troublesome.
"Dude, you're not joking with me, are you?" Tian Xiaoxu couldn't believe Ye Leiyang's words, if it weren't for the fact that Ye Leiyang had written a best-selling book to impress her before, she even felt that her cousin was talking nonsense, and actually wanted to send his script to the United States, who did he think he was?
"Sister, what am I doing with you making such a joke?" Ye Leiyang frowned: "I have finished writing the script for the first two episodes, and I will send you back to your mailbox." You ask your classmates to upload and register with the Writers Guild in the United States. In addition, if this script is approved, I will pay him 5,000 dollars per episode! ”
"Okay, I'll help you ask, no matter what, it shouldn't be a problem for the script to be delivered." Tian Xiaoxu hung up the phone suspiciously, and then dialed the phone of his old classmate. While dialing the number, I was worried about the international call fee.
Ye Leiyang put down the phone and breathed a sigh of relief, he had no choice, after all, he couldn't go abroad now, he could only rely on others to do this, if he remembered correctly, an episode of the script should be sold for 30,000 US dollars a piece, and he gave 5,000 to his cousin's classmate, and the rest was 25,000 US dollars.
The most important thing is that American TV dramas are divided by seasons, and if there are 24 episodes in a season, you can earn nearly 600,000 US dollars.
600,000 US dollars, in China at this time, is definitely astronomical, provided that the script can be favored by CBS TV.
The next morning, Tian Xiaoxu called, her classmates had promised to help with the delivery, and according to her, this matter is not troublesome at all, you just need to go to the Screenwriters Association to register the script first, and then deliver it, anyway, American TV stations have always openly recruited scripts and screenwriters.
"But Yangyang, do you really think this script is okay?"
Tian Xiaoxu, who deliberately ran to Ye Leiyang's house to send the script to his classmates, asked Ye Leiyang with a serious face.
Ye Leiyang smiled: "Sister, do you know? It took me almost a month to translate the scripts from Chinese to English. To be honest, I don't know if it will be invested by the TV station over there. But my gut tells me that if I don't do it, I'll regret it. ”
Tian Xiaoxu fell into silence, she knew that she couldn't change Ye Leiyang's decision in this matter, and the only thing she could do as a family member was to support him.
"By the way, although it's my classmate, are you sure it's okay to hand over the script to her like this?" Tian Xiaoxu asked uneasily.
Ye Leiyang smiled: "Don't worry, I only gave her the script for two episodes, if the TV station is satisfied, she will definitely want the next script, American dramas are filmed and broadcast at the same time, without me as a screenwriter, she can't play tricks even if she wants to!" ”
The heart of defense is indispensable, Ye Leiyang will never easily trust anyone, as the so-called human heart separates the belly, which is why he wants to share the profits to Tian Xiaoxu's classmate, at least to tie the other party to his own interests chariot.
Thinking of this, Ye Leiyang said to Tian Xiaoxu: "Sister, your classmate will definitely return to China during the Spring Festival, and when the time comes, invite her to come to Beihai, we will register a company, and all my things abroad in the future can be handed over to her as an agent!" ”
