"Hey, hello!"

"Hello, are you Mr. Yang Chuan?"

Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Yang Chuan asked suspiciously, "Yes, who are you?" ”

"Hehe~!" The other party chuckled and said, "Hello, I'm Davis, the editor-in-chief of Simon Press. ”

Yang Chuan heard the call from Davis, and asked with a smile, "Is there anything Mr. Davis looking for me?" ”

Davis smiled happily: "Yang, I have a good thing to tell you this time. ”

"Oh, what's the good thing?" Yang Chuan asked curiously.

Davis replied, "Yang, it's Howard, the director of the movie "The Da Vinci Code", who is going to see you now. ”

"What?" Yang Chuan was taken aback and asked, "Mr. Davis, you said Howard wants to see me?" ”

Now Howard is a hot director in Hollywood, how many star actors want to meet him!

Davis said, "Yes, are you free now?" ”

"Yes! I'm very free right now. Yang Chuan nodded hurriedly.

"In that case, then you should come to Nanjiang International Hotel!"

With that, Davis hung up.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Chuan looked at Guo Siwei next to him and said, "I'm sorry Xiaosi, I still have something to go first." ”

Guo Siwei nodded and said, "Mmmm~!" ”

After saying goodbye to Guo Siwei, Yang Chuan soon strode out.

Nanjiang International Hotel is a hotel specially used to receive foreign guests in Nanjiang City, and its interior decoration is more luxurious than Nanjiang Hotel.

Yang Chuan came to the door of Nanjiang International Hotel, took out his mobile phone and made a call to Davis.

"Mr. Davis, I'm downstairs at the hotel."

"Okay, I'll come down and pick you up right away."

After about a few minutes, Davis, with blond hair, walked out of the door of the hotel.

"Yang, it's been a long time since I've seen you."

As soon as we met. I saw Davis give Yang Chuan a big hug.

To tell the truth, Yang Chuan really can't stand the etiquette of foreigners, and he has to hug and kiss at every turn.

After hugging him, Davis smiled and said, "Yang, I'll take you up to see Director Howard now." ”

"Okay~!"

Yang Chuan nodded, and then followed Davis into the hotel.

"This is Director Howard's room!"

After entering the hotel, Davis said to Yang Chuan and then reached out and pushed the door open.

After Yang Chuan entered the room, he saw a man in a black suit with linen hair sitting on the sofa.

Davis pointed at Yang Chuan and said to the man in English: "Howard, this is Yang Chuan, the author of "The Da Vinci Code". ”

"Uh-huh~!" Howard nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't expect the author of The Da Vinci Code to be so young." ”

After introducing Yang Chuan to Howard, Davis said to Yang Chuan: "He is Director Howard." ”

As soon as I heard this. Yang Chuan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Hello, Director Howard." ”

Howard stood up and smiled and asked in his less proficient Chinese, "Are you the author of The Da Vinci Code?" ”

Yang Chuan nodded and said, "Yes~!" ”

"Alas~!" Howard sighed lightly and said, "I really didn't expect an Oriental kid to write a novel with a strong Western cultural background like "The Da Vinci Code", and I was deeply attracted when I first saw this work. ”

"In order to shoot this "Da Vinci Code", I did not hesitate to ask the French government to borrow the Louvre venue for filming, and it took up to a year to finally complete the filming of this suspense masterpiece, which has recently been very high at the box office in North America and Europe."

"Oh?" Yang Chuan asked with some surprise: "Director Howard, is this "Da Vinci Code" really so popular?" ”

Howard proudly said: "Of course, it has earned nearly $100 million at the box office in just one week in North American theaters, and I estimate that the total box office revenue of this "Da Vinci Code" can be as high as one billion dollars." ”

"And this time I came to Huaxia in the hope of opening up the Chinese film market, and in a few days I will go to South Korea, Wa and other countries. I believe that this "Da Vinci Code" will definitely make more people like it. ”

As soon as he heard that the box office of "The Da Vinci Code" could be as high as one billion dollars, Yang Chuan's heart was a little itchy, knowing that he sold the film and television adaptation rights of this work to Columbia Pictures and Television Company for millions of dollars. 】

However, there is no way to do this, the film and television copyrights of ordinary authors' works cannot be sold at too high a price.

Howard stepped forward and patted Yang Chuan on the shoulder and said, "Yang." I really admire your literary talent and imagination! ”

Yang Chuan said modestly: "No! ”

"By the way, I heard you also wrote The Hunger Games, right?" Suddenly, Howard asked.

Yang Chuan nodded and said, "Yes, but I have sold the film and television adaptation rights to Lionsgate for "The Hunger Games" and its sequel "The Hunger Games 2: Sparks in the Plain". Now "The Hunger Games" is also in the stage of preparing for filming. ”

Howard said with some regret: "To be honest, I have also read your two books "The Hunger Games", which are very suitable for film adaptation, and I have been in contact with Lionsgate Group, hoping that they can hand over "The Hunger Games" to me to shoot." ”

Yang Chuan asked with some surprise, "Oh." Is Lionsgate willing to give you the Hunger Games? ”

Howard shook his head and said, "No, I heard you're writing a magical novel called The Lord of the Rings right now?" ”

Yang Chuan glanced at Davis next to him, and had already guessed in his heart that it must have been Davis telling Howard.

Sure enough, Davis said, "Yang, I've already shown your Lord of the Rings to Howard. ”

"Yang, I want to buy the film and television adaptation rights of your work "The Lord of the Rings" on behalf of Columbia Pictures." Howard stared at Yang Chuan and said, "You can mention any conditions, as long as you sell me the film and television adaptation rights of "The Lord of the Rings". ”

Yang Chuan didn't rush to agree to Howard, but turned his head to look at Davis and asked, "Does my cousin know about this?" ”

Davis nodded and said, "Your cousin, Miss Yang Sitong, already knows, she said that this matter is up to you." ”

Yang Chuan knew what her cousin meant, because Yang Sitong had always been responsible for the copyright of his works published abroad, and she now wanted to see if Yang Chuan had the ability to make such a major decision by herself.

"Director Howard, I take the liberty of asking, can you represent Columbia Pictures?" Yang Chuan asked.

"Haha~!" When Howard heard this, he laughed and said: "To tell you the truth, I am the group vice president of Columbia Pictures and Television, and this time I came to Nanjiang City to promote the movie "The Da Vinci Code", just to buy the film and television rights of your "Lord of the Rings", of course, in addition to these two points, I hope to establish a long-term cooperation with you." ”

Yang Chuan, that sweat! He really didn't expect Howard to be the group vice president of Columbia Pictures. (To be continued......)
