vs 56 Finding a Director (Seeking Acceptance)

Du Wenhai said, "At eight o'clock tonight, it's the same restaurant last time. ”

"Okay." Chen Dong agreed.

---

At eight o'clock in the evening, Chen Dong appeared on time at the Haozai restaurant near Dinghai University.

"Sir, several." A waiter greeted him and asked Chen Dong.

"I'm sorry, I'm here for the appointment, Mr. Du's private room." Chen Dong said.

"Well, you're Mr. Chen." Hearing this, the waiter asked Chen Dong.

Chen Dong nodded.

"Mr. Chen, please come with me, Mr. Du is in the Plum Blossom Hall." The waiter led the way in front, and Chen Dong followed behind.

As soon as I walked into the plum blossom hall, I saw that Du Wenhai had been waiting for a long time.

"I'm sorry, I'm late." Chen Dong said with a little humility.

"It's not late, it's not eight o'clock, it's me early." Du Wenhai said with a smile.

"Mr. Du, is there anything wrong with me?" Chen Dong sat down opposite Du Wenhai and said.

"I'm hungry, let's eat and talk first, crucian carp soup, wild, it tastes good, it's very replenishing." Du Wenhai said.

He knew that Chen Dong had a habit of not drinking, and he didn't call for wine.

"Okay." Chen Dong was indeed a little hungry, so he was no longer polite, and scooped himself a bowl of crucian carp soup.

After a full meal.

"I came to you this time, firstly, to chat about feelings, and secondly, I want you to publish the simplified Chinese version of "The Story of Eternal Life" to our Changjiang Publishing House." Du Wenhai said.

Chen Dong nodded and said, "Okay, how much is the remuneration?" ”

Anyway, "The Story of Eternal Life" will be published in the future, who to sign is not to sign, Chen Dong is happy to cooperate with the Changjiang Publishing House, first, the Changjiang Publishing House can give a high remuneration share, and second, he and Du Wenhai are familiar with each other.

Du Wenhai pondered for a while and said, ""The Story of Eternal Life" is different from "That Thing in the Ming Dynasty", "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is very suitable for physical publishing, and it has not been serialized on the Internet before, so you can get a 15/100 share.

In addition to the fans of "Eternal Life" who like to collect physical books, there are also some readers who don't like to surf the Internet and like to have a pastime to take this book, so I can only give 9/100 of the remuneration for the publication of simplified books in "Eternal Life". ”

"Okay." Chen Dong nodded.

The remuneration share of simplified Chinese publishing for online novels is generally 5/100~10/100, no matter how high it is, it is not as high as 10/100, and it is very good to get a 9/100 share.

Immediately, Du Wenhai took out a contract, the content of the contract was that Chen Dong handed over the publishing rights of the simplified version of "The Story of Eternal Life" to Changjiang Publishing House for publication, and the remuneration was 9/100.

Chen Dong carefully looked at the contract, saw that there was no problem, and signed his name.

"It's a pleasure to work with." Du Wenhai raised his cup and toasted Chen Dong with a cup of wine.

"It's a pleasure to work with."

"Xiaodong, when will your book of the Three Kingdoms be written?" Du Wenhai pretended to ask unintentionally.

At the signing of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", Chen Dong said that he wanted to write a book about the Three Kingdoms, and the writing style is the same as "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", which is also a humorous and humorous penmanship to describe the Three Kingdoms era when heroes were produced and Jin Ge Iron Horse, compared with "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" The writing and writing skills are more sophisticated, there is no reason to write worse than "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".

Chen Dong asked with a smile, "Mr. Du, aren't the seven parts of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" enough for your publishing house to eat?" One can be sold for 4 or 5 months, and seven can be sold for two and a half years. ”

Du Wenhai explained, "Recently, the publishing house has received a lot of letters from readers, most of which mention when the book of the Three Kingdoms will be published, and I am looking forward to it, and I hope you will write it as soon as possible." ”

Actually, he still didn't say a layer of meaning, and he was the one who most hoped that Chen Dong would write the book of the Three Kingdoms as soon as possible.

Publishers? Of course, I can't wait to grab the publishing rights of all the best-selling books in the world, and he is no exception, with the example of the big sale of "Ming Dynasty", he will never miss the book of the Three Kingdoms, and he can't wait to grab Chen Dong's neck now, and say to Chen Dong, 'Write the Three Kingdoms for me immediately.' ’

Chen Dong nodded and said, "Okay, this time is very busy, at the end of this year or the beginning of next year, the manuscript will be handed over to you." ”

got a satisfactory answer from Chen Dong, Du Wenhai didn't say anything, and chatted about some interesting topics recently.

After the meal, Chen Dong said goodbye to Du Wenhai.

The next main job is to make a movie, the shooting funds are in place, and the next step is to find a good director.

Chen Dong is an outsider, that is, if he is famous, he has the ability to direct, he can't afford to invite him, and the director who is not famous but very capable doesn't know how to find it.

Therefore, he plans to trouble the school leaders, Dinghai University has a lot of exchanges and cooperation with Dinghai Drama Academy, Dinghai Film Art Academy and other art academies.

Chen Dongxiang is Zhou Zhifu, head of the Department of Computer Science and Technology.

Chen Dong has known Zhou Zhifu for a long time, Zhou Zhifu admires Chen Dong very much, and after performing a song "I Believe" at the school celebration party, Zhou Zhifu came to Chen Dong's class to find him and praised Chen Dong.

"Director Zhou, hello." Chen Dong walked into Zhou Zhifu's office and greeted Zhou Zhifu with a smile.

"Sit, Xiaodong, do you have something to do with me?" Zhou Zhifu saw Chen Dong come in and said enthusiastically.

Chen Dong told Zhou Zhifu that he wanted to make a movie, the funds were enough, the script was ready, and he was short of a director, and he wanted to find Zhou Zhifu to help him find a capable director.

"Well, that's a good thing, and the school should support it." As soon as he heard Chen Dong's words, Zhou Zhifu quickly agreed, and said to Chen Dong with a smile, "That's it, I'm friends with Lao Qian, the director of the directing department of Dinghai Drama Academy, I'll call him to see if he has a suitable director there." ”

"Okay, then thank you, Director Zhou."

Zhou Zhifu immediately made a phone call.

"Old Qian, I'm Zhou Zhifu, I have a student who plans to make a movie, please find a director, do you have a good student to introduce."

"How much budget is a movie."

Zhou Zhifu looked at Chen Dong.

"About 4.5 million." Chen Dong whispered on the side.

"Old money, about 450w."

"Your student is courageous, okay, it just so happens that Wang Sen is idle, I asked him to come to your school tomorrow to find you. Xiao Wang is a very capable director, with a solid foundation and rich experience, who has directed five or six small and medium-cost films, all of which have won a high box office, and have a certain reputation in the mainland film and television circle. On the other side of the phone, Qian Changchun said with a smile.

praised his students in his words, the shooting budget of 450w is a lot, and he hopes that Wang Sen can successfully get the director position of this play.

Zhou Zhifu smiled and said, "Okay, tomorrow you call him to come to my school office to find me, let's say it first, if it weren't for Wang Sen as the director, I wouldn't count if I said it, but if my students said it." ”;
