"Brother Chen, you're here, sit down!"

Chen Qi was not polite, sat down directly, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip of tea.

Lu Wenxin was silent for a while, and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Chen, I'm a little sorry for you, the filming plan of the "Legend of the White-Haired Witch" TV series may have to be delayed for a while. ”

"What's going on?" Chen Qi asked.

"Alas!"

Lu Wenxin sighed, a hint of anger on his face.

"For the filming of the TV series "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", Tang Shi Studio, a subsidiary of Qinglong Film and Television, has been preparing for it, and the preliminary preparations have been completed not long ago. Just ......"

Lu Wenxin glanced at Chen Qi and saw that Chen Qi was still indifferent, so he continued: ""The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" is expected to be broadcast on Donghai Satellite TV during the winter vacation, and it has been agreed with the TV station, but now Donghai Satellite TV has regretted it. Not only that, but other satellite TV also has a lot of excuses. The current situation is that even if this TV series is filmed, it will not be able to be broadcast on satellite TV, so it can only be temporarily stranded. ”

"Is it because of the chivalrous culture? And with the tiger skin of Qinglong Film and Television, these TV stations don't give face like this? ”

Chen Qi's face was calm, and there was no anger and blame in his tone, but it seemed like pure curiosity.

"Humph! If it was Qinglong Film and Television, of course those TV stations would not dare to do this, but the investor was only a subsidiary of Qinglong Film and Television. There is also the fact that Qinglong Film and Television's business is mainly movies and theaters, and there is not much intersection with TV stations, and TV stations don't need to give Qinglong Film and Television much face. ”

Lu Wenxin's voice paused, and continued: "The main reason for this situation this time is on the side of chivalry culture, which owns the copyright of many martial arts films, and their martial arts films are the big ratings of TV stations, not to mention, the big bargaining chip of "Tianhe Demon Sword Record" in the hands of chivalrous culture now. ”

Chen Qi nodded.

"Those TV stations are so optimistic about "Tianhe Demon Sword Record"? Aren't you afraid of losing all your money in the end? ”

He asked what had been in his mind.

"Of course. Since the publication of your "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", the martial arts market has recovered, and now martial arts novels and martial arts films have become popular, not to mention a big project of two billion yuan like "Tianhe Demon Sword Record". ”

"Two billion big project? Chivalry Culture invested so much money in "Tianhe Demon Sword Record"? ”

"Inviting Hollywood stars, overseas publicity, TV series being released in many countries, and subsequent movies, according to chivalrous culture, two billion is just the first step of investment. Okay, don't talk about "Tianhe Demon Sword Record", the more I talk about it, the more popular I become. ”

Lu Wenxin took out a stack of papers and handed it to Chen Qi.

"The TV series of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" will definitely be filmed, you can rest assured. We will also compensate for this delay. The TV adaptation rights of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", we will mention three million. This is the contract. ”

According to the original agreement, the TV adaptation rights of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" should be two million, but now it has been increased by half all at once, which also fully demonstrates Lu Wenxin's sincerity.

"No, I don't want to sell this adaptation right for the time being."

Chen Qi didn't look at the contract in front of him and said.

"Don't sell ......"

Lu Wenxin was shocked, and hurriedly said: "The TV series of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" is only postponed for a year or half a ......year at most."

Chen Qi smiled, he knew what Lu Wenxin was thinking, and said: "It's not what you imagined, brother, I have rejected the chivalrous culture, and I won't go over again." You can rest assured of this. As for the TV adaptation rights of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", I will keep it for now, maybe I will invest in it myself. ”

"Invest on your own?"

Lu Wenxin felt that his brain was a little overwhelmed.

"The cost of a good martial arts film is at least thirty or forty million. And it's not just a matter of money, there are many aspects involved in making a big-selling martial arts film. Now the TV stations don't buy the broadcast rights, and it's too risky for you. ”

"It's just one of my thoughts, Brother Lu, don't worry, I won't be so presumptuous."

Seeing that Chen Qi didn't want to talk more, Lu Wenxin didn't say any more.

"Oh, by the way, "Tianhe Demon Sword Record" is about to be published, should your new book be postponed for a while?" Lu Wenxin said.

"No need."

Chen Qi shook his head and said, "As soon as "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" is serialized, my new book will be published. ”

"Isn't it too hasty? You don't seem to have started writing your new book yet, right? Lu Wenxin said.

"Don't worry, I'll send you the manuscript in a few days."

"Okay. Then you can always tell me what kind of novel this novel is. ”

Lu Wenxin didn't want Chen Qi to rush to write a new book because of the battle of will, and he was defeated by Ziyue Sword's "Tianhe Demon Sword Record".

"It's about swords, and my next novel will be about a swordsman."

Chen Qi's voice was relaxed and casual, but it was heavy and abnormal in Lu Wenxin's ears.

"Tianhe Demon Sword Record" is written about swords, and Chen Qi's new book is also written about swords, it seems that he is determined to compete with the Purple Moon Sword.

Lu Wenxin was also worried and happy for a while, not only worried that Chen Qi would lose this time, but also happy that Chen Qi had not lost confidence, and Wujie Publishing House still had a chance to win.

"Brother Lu, I'll go first."

"Okay, goodbye."

After saying hello to Lu Wenxin, Chen Qi walked out of the office.

The TV series "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" could not be filmed, and "Tianhe Demon Sword Record" was menacing, which did not affect Chen Qi, but made him more combative.

A little challenge is life.

Besides, chivalrous culture is just a paper tiger in Chen Qi's eyes, just looking bluffing.

Soon, Chen Qi walked to the door of the publishing house.

At this time, a pure and beautiful figure came to him.

"Lu Xin?"

Chen Qi was surprised.

He didn't expect to meet his roommate here.

"Chen Qi."

Seeing Chen Qi, Lu Xin was not much surprised, and nodded with a smile.

"How did you get here?" Chen Qi asked.

"This is a publishing house, and I'm here, of course, to contribute."

"Oh. I'm familiar with this place, so I'll let you in. Chen Qi said.

At this time, Lu Xin suddenly smiled.

"Actually, I'm more familiar with this place than you."

So saying, he walked inside.

"Familiar with me better?"

Chen Qi was stunned for a moment, and then followed Lu Xin in.

Lu Xin was indeed very familiar with this place, and walked to the door of Lu Wenxin's office with ease.

Bang bang -

Lu Xin knocked a few times at the door, and then pushed the door in directly.

Chen Qi followed in, and heard Lu Wenxin say, "Xiaoxin, why are you here?" ”

"Huh? Didn't you just leave, why did you come back? ”

Lu Wenxin looked at Chen Qi who came in, with a look of surprise.

Chen Qi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Oh, I'm just here to see." ”

At this time, Lu Xin had already taken out a stack of manuscripts from her bag and said, "Brother, this is the manuscript I wrote." ”

"So you're brother and sister."

Chen Qi suddenly realized, no wonder Lu Xin was so familiar with this place, it turned out that she was Lu Wenxin's sister.

"Brother Chen, this is my sister, Lu Xin. Xiaoxin, this is Chen Qi, the author of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" and "The First Close Contact", don't you keep saying that his "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" is beautifully written. ”

Lu Wenxin introduced the two of them.

Seeing that Chen Qi was slightly surprised, but Lu Xin was smiling, Lu Wenxin said with some confusion: "You know?" ”

Lu Xin nodded.

"Of course I know, my bag was robbed last time, and Chen Qi helped me find it."

Chen Qi looked at Lu Xin and suddenly asked, "Didn't you know that I was the Apocalypse last time?" ”

"yes. Or I'll just have someone take me back to school? ”

Lu Xin smiled.

"Then what kind of 'tragedy complex' did you tell me last time, are you playing tricks on me?"

"yes. Did you just know? ”

"Ahem!"

Lu Wenxin couldn't help coughing a few times, interrupting the conversation between Chen Qi and Lu Xin.

Chen Qi stopped talking, walked to Lu Wenxin's desk, and picked up Lu Xin's novel manuscript.

"What are you writing and can I see it?" Chen Qi asked Lu Xin.

"You've seen it all, can I refuse?" Lu Xin said.

Chen Qi saw that the name of the novel was "Bloody Killing Road", and the content was that a group of martial arts people strayed into a mysterious mountain village, and then began a series of bizarre deaths, and the protagonist and the mastermind behind the scenes fought wits and courage.

Lu Xin's manuscript is only the first 30,000 words, but it can also be seen that Lu Xin's pen is excellent, and the suspenseful atmosphere of the novel is well set.

"That's good!"

Chen Qi put down the manuscript.

"Brother, you see that this big writer says that I write well, how much do you think I should pay for this manuscript?"

Lu Xin looked at Lu Wenxin with a smile.

"One hundred and fifteen thousand words, how about it? When you have the results, I'll give you a price increase. ”

"One hundred and five thousand words is too little, come to me enlighten, five hundred thousand words. Wait until you have the results, and then give you a price increase. Before Lu Xin could speak, Chen Qi said.

"You're stealing business?"

Lu Wenxin glared at Chen Qi, and then looked at Lu Xin: "Xiaoxin, don't listen to his nonsense, publish it in "Martial Arts World" first, and if it is popular enough, then release the physical book." Isn't this 10,000 times better than putting it on the Internet for people to watch for free? ”

"I just want to say that in the future, online novels will be the mainstream." Chen Qi said.

"Brother, this novel was published in "Martial Arts World"."

Lu Xin said to Lu Wenxin, and then looked at Chen Qi.

"My next novel will be published on Qiming, you can't deduct my manuscript fee."

"Definitely."

Chen Qi replied.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Chen Qi said, "It's not too early, let's go out to eat." ”

"You're in for a treat?" Lu Wenxin asked.

"Of course." Chen Qi replied.

Lu Wenxin looked at Chen Qi: "Would you be so kind as to invite me to dinner?" How do I feel that you have other purposes? ”

"Where? Brother Lu, I just want to thank you for helping me for so long. Chen Qi said calmly.

"If you want to have a treat, lead the way, this girl is hungry." Lu Xin said.

"Brother Lu, you can pick a place." Chen Qi said.

So, the three of them walked out of the publishing house.
