Despite almost missing the audition due to a traffic jam, Keira Knightley finally got her wish and became the heroine of the film. Her agent, Katie, was stuck in traffic for two hours, and she was late after the audition. The signing went smoothly and Katie was very happy with the result, but Keira Knightley looked a little sullen.

"Honey, what's wrong with you?"

"I've just read the script," Keira Knightlinunu said, "The plot of this film seems to be a little different from what I thought!" ”

"You have a question about the script?" Katie was stunned for a moment, she put away the smile on her face very seriously, "You should have told me this before signing the contract!" ”

"You're mistaken, I'm not saying I don't like the character." Keira Knightley shook her head, "I didn't think that my real partner in the film was not Johnny Depp, but someone else!" ”

"Didn't they give you the heroine?" Because of the delay on the road for too long, and after arriving at the crew, she was busy signing contracts, and Katie still hasn't had time to read the script carefully. She is concerned with Keira Knightley's place in the film, not with the specific role she plays.

"It's the heroine of the film who is good, but it's Felix-Lin who plays with me, I didn't expect him to be the second leading actor in the film." Keira Knightley seemed a little distressed, if Lin Mingyang was not playing the role of a villain, his idea of playing tricks on the other party in the play would have come to naught.

"Felix-Lin?" Katie was stunned, "Is that the little guy who sings and plays basketball cool in "Youth Musical"?" ”

"Isn't that guy!" Even the discerning Keira Knightley has to admit that Lin Mingyang is indeed the most handsome boy he has ever seen, whether it is in movies or in reality, that dark-haired boy is always easy to attract the attention of others.

Things weren't as Katie had feared, which made her breathe a long sigh of relief: "I think it's normal, Felix-Lin is now a popular youth idol at Disney, and arranging him to work with you can also prove from another angle that Disney attaches great importance to this film." And Felix-Lin has a lot of popularity among teenagers, I heard that he is not only good at acting, but also has a good performance in the fields of script writing and music creation, he is about the same age as you, and it should not be too difficult to work together. ”

Seeing Keira Knightley biting her lip and her eyes flickering a little, Katie said earnestly: "With veteran movie stars like Johnny Depp to attract adult audiences, and popular idols like Felix Lin to attract young audiences, this film will become your first business card to enter Hollywood, and this opportunity is very important for you!" ”

Keira Knightley nodded, she didn't know that on the other side of the city, Lin Mingyang had heard the same advice as her, and the words came out of Ex's mouth, but she was just a different way of saying it, analyzing the same problem from a different angle.

"Felix, this is an unprecedented opportunity for you. Although Johnny Depp is the protagonist of the film, your role is also very important, and the most important thing is that you can use Johnny Depp's prestige to smoothly enter the eyes of mainstream Hollywood audiences. And according to my latest inside information, the heroine of the film has been confirmed to be played by British actress Keira Knightley. That's a big beauty to be denied, and although she is also a newcomer, she has a lot of influence in the UK. As long as more British people watch this movie, it will also increase your popularity overseas, and this film will bring you much more benefits than I imagined. ”

Speaking of accidents, in fact, Lin Mingyang's performance this time was the most surprising thing for Ax. is not only Lin Mingyang's hidden kung fu, but also his ability to gain Brooksheimer's trust so smoothly, and even directly participated in the revision of the script. was able to get the affirmation of the crew in the end, except for the recommendation of Ex at the beginning, all the rest were the result of Lin Mingyang's own efforts.

Kenny Ortega believes that Lin Mingyang is a treasure chest that is constantly being opened, and is always able to surprise people. In Ex's opinion, Lin Mingyang is not just a treasure chest, he is simply a mountain of gold, and he is not even sure how many unknown abilities Lin Mingyang still hides, and this feeling has become more and more intense since he just received a call from Simon Publishing.

Simon Publishing is one of the most well-known publishers in the United States, publishing more than 2,100 titles a year in a variety of categories, especially in the trade, mass market, children's and new media categories. The company's main books are all sold in millions of copies. And it's often a best-selling list. Because of its reputation in the industry, Simon is also extremely demanding in the selection of published works. At first, Ex just had the attitude of giving it a try, and handed over the manuscript of "Twilight" to a responsible editor he knew.

After more than two months, the other party did not give any response. Because Lin Mingyang often called to ask about this matter, Ex was also ready to try his luck with another publisher. At this time, Ex suddenly received a call from the editor-in-chief of Simon Publishing, who was very polite, and wanted to negotiate the publication of the novel with Ex in a completely consultative manner.

It doesn't take that long to review whether a novel is worthy of publication. But the excellent writing and near-perfect plot structure of "Twilight" deeply attracted the editor-in-charge, who had a feeling of love after reading through the manuscript, and then he strongly recommended the work to the top management of the publishing company. Anyone who has read the first draft of "Twilight" will be deeply attracted by the plot of the story, which combines the imagination of "Harry Potter" with the touching and lingering love, and just reading the first part has already made readers want to stop.

The manuscript was passed through layers and within Simon's company there was a consensus within Simon in a very short time that the author of the novel must be firmly grasped at all costs, and it was best for both parties to establish a long-term partnership. Simon's editor-in-chief stepped in personally, and he made an appointment with Ex to meet the mysterious author of the novel in person.

"So they agreed to publish my novel?" Faced with such news, Lin Mingyang found that no matter how much he restrained, it was difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart.

Judging from the other party's reaction, I think it's not just as simple as agreeing, but also a more appropriate word, the other party should appreciate your work very much. I even feel that the other party can't wait to sign a contract with you, although I don't know much about the publishing industry, but the other party is so enthusiastic, it must be because your work has enough reasons for the other party to pay attention. Ackes also looked excited, "Anyway, this is a very good negotiation for us. ”

Two months ago, Ex was thinking about how to "sell" Lin Mingyang's novel, and now he is thinking about how to "sell" this novel for a good price.

"I don't plan to transfer the copyright, the other party can only get the publishing authorization, in addition to the fixed payment of copyright fees, there must be a certain percentage of sales dividends. If the other party is not able to accept these conditions, then everything is out of business! Lin Mingyang was not carried away by the sudden success, he knew the value of the novel "Twilight", and the eagerness of the other party further verified his judgment.

Lin Mingyang offered such a condition, Ex was not surprised at all, he was used to Lin Mingyang's amazing move, and he didn't even feel that there was anything inappropriate about it. He called Simon Company back according to Lin Mingyang's idea, the other party didn't expect Lin Mingyang to have such a high asking price, if it was someone else, maybe he wouldn't even have a chance to talk, but this time Simon Company actually "compromised".
