As soon as he heard Xiye say the words of reproach, Zhang Lixin's face immediately turned cloudy: "Mr. Xi, the original author of "The River Demon of Pagoda Town" filmed by our TV station only received a salary of 1.1 million. Yours is only about 400,000 words, and giving 5 million is already very high. ”

"Oh, is it high? Do you know if I spent more than ten years preparing the material, writing it for nearly a year, checking how many emperors' records and visiting many places......" Nishino asked with a side face.

"It's not low, Mr. Xi." Zhang Lixin put down the coffee cup in his hand.

"What's that called, a city sells for 2 million, and he didn't write a word of his mother, he just set a book title, what logic!"

"But he is a famous writer and has a lot of fame, and it is normal to have commercial speculation, and there is a market if there is demand. The style of your novel is too classical, and it is a fatal flaw, and readers who do not have a certain knowledge of ancient literature will not be able to understand the dialogue. Zhang Lixin opened the new version of the Yang Jiajiang novel and turned to the first page, "For example, the dialogue between Tu Sui and the First Emperor ......"

"That makes sense. It is also normal for the high and low to be high. If Huayi had cooperated sincerely, it would have come to me ten years ago to talk about cooperation. It's too late to come today. Nishino was very dissatisfied, "Lao Tzu has been waiting for ten years, and he is looking forward to it...... If I had chosen to continue writing novels full-time, I would have starved to death on the streets. ”

"Mr. Xi, ten years of sharpening a sword. Am I not here on behalf of Huayi Brothers? Zhang Lixin rubbed his hands.

"I don't have the courage to sharpen my sword for a long time...... Can you represent Huayi? Nishino was surprised.

"Absolutely." Zhang Lixin nodded.

"Huayi doesn't have much sincerity. First, at least one senior sales representative must accompany you, but they don't, who am I? Second, if the terms of the contract have not been discussed with me in advance, can it still be called a contract? Director Zhang, you worked as a lobbyist for Huayi, how much did they give you errands? ”

Speaking of errand fees, Zhang Lixin's heart couldn't help but be stunned, could it be that Xiye guessed my identity? Huayi Brothers really didn't do well, so that the new version of the Yang family would wait for so long, and everyone had ideas. Life is short, how many decades are there? Why did Mr. Xi just say that he would let Hua Xiong come over to negotiate, and suddenly there was another 180-degree turn, this change is too fast.

Zhang Lixin was silent for a while, and then put away the script: "Mr. Xi, Huayi didn't give me much benefit, and I didn't drink enough water. ”

"So, you're doing purely voluntary labor?"

"Not exactly, there's still a little bit of payoff."

"Since the new version of the Yang family needs to be filmed in the army, then it will not be filmed, and I don't expect it to be famous...... How about I pitch a script that doesn't require the involvement of the troops? Nishino pondered for a moment.

"Who's?"

"Hua Xiong's "Headline Marriage Contract 2", an urban emotional drama, has little investment and high returns. Is Director Zhang interested? ”

"Really? I haven't read his work, I don't know the specific content, why don't you let Assistant Hua bring his novel here and let me take a look? ”

Wow, modern life dramas are so popular, then I'll let Hua Xiong come over right away. Nishino said.

"Thank you, Mr. Xi, I have time to wait. How long will it take to come? Zhang Lixin was very happy, lost the mulberry elm, and harvested the east.

"Well, no problem. I made a phone call and he arrived in half an hour. Nishino grabbed his phone and spoke to Hanao.

Knowing that Zhang Lixin was interested in his novel, Hua Xiong was overjoyed, flew out of Shengyi Media, and drove to Huashun headquarters. Along the way, he whistled and hummed songs, so embarrassed.

As soon as he got out of the car, he didn't even close the door tightly and went straight to Nishino's office. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Zhang Lixin discussing something with Nishino.

"Mr. Xi, Director Zhang, good two." Hua Xiong was holding the paper version of "Headline Marriage Contract 2" in his hand.

"Oh, Teacher Hua, you're so fast." Zhang Lixin stood up and greeted Hua Xiong happily.

"Director Zhang, you have exalted me. Hua is a dozen soy sauce, you call me teacher, and you torture me. Hua Xiong laughed.

"Huahua, you and Director Zhang should talk about the adaptation of the novel. You talk slowly, I still have some things, so I'll miss you. Nishino patted Hanao on the shoulder, "Take advantage of your chance." With that, he left the office and went to the research building......

"Hmm. Director Zhang, let's get started. Hua Xiong spread out his novel "Headline Marriage Contract 2" and held it in front of Zhang Lixin's eyes with both hands.

Zhang Lixin was not in a hurry to read the content of the book, and asked Hua Xiong a few irrelevant questions. The Hua Xiong who can speak well answered one by one, which made Zhang Lixin very satisfied. The two talked heart-to-heart for more than an hour, and preliminarily finalized the draft contract for cooperation.

Before leaving, Zhang Lixin gave Hua Xiong a business card, which read: Zhang Lixin, vice president of Southeast Literature and Art Publishing House, director and screenwriter of Huayi Brothers Film and Television Group.

Hehe, this title is not small! Hua Xiong took the business card, put it in his bag, and then drove Zhang Lixin to Baiyun Airport.

"Director Zhang, when can I meet with Mr. Wang?" Hanao asked.

"Soon. As soon as I returned to Hong Kong, I immediately went to Mr. Wang, and tried to sign the formal contract within a month, and hold a start-up ceremony within two months. Zhang Lixin replied with confidence.

"In order to thank Director Zhang for his kindness to me, I will pay for your ticket today, and I will invite your guests after the matter is completed, and thank you again." Hua Xiong took out 1,400 yuan from his wallet and stuffed it to Zhang Lixin.

"Hey, what's going on? The ticket company will reimburse the ......" Zhang Lixin said that he would not accept the money and waved his hand.

"Then I'm embarrassed...... Hua Xiong took back the money, his heart was overjoyed, "Director Zhang, goodbye." ”

In fact, Zhang Lixin thinks that he has less money, there is no more than 100,000 yuan, he will not accept red envelopes from the author of the novel at will, for the sake of more than 1,000 yuan, his reputation has been ruined, Zhang Lixin will not be so funny.

Back at Shengyi Media, the joyful Hua Xiong couldn't hold back the joy in his heart and shouted in the company, saying that his novel would be adapted into a TV series by Huayi Brothers.

His colleagues were impressed with him one by one, affectionately calling Hua Xiong a great writer, and even looking at him differently, they were all smiling, which really made Hua Xiong proud for a while. For this reason, Hua Xiong also sent WeChat one by one, inviting Long Xiaoxiao and Xiao Sanxi to get together at the Seaview Hotel to celebrate, and asked Long Xiaoxiao to convey the information to Xiye.

Long Xiaoxiao received an invitation message from Hua Xiong, and took his mobile phone to call Nishino, who was inquiring about the research and development process of Huaxin No. 3 in the scientific research building. After five or six consecutive fights, there was still no movement on Nishino's side. Nishino's cell phone was left in the office, and of course no one answered.

hung up the phone, smiled and couldn't help but wonder, what did this dead ghost do, and he didn't answer the phone? It's not going to be another meeting, is it? Hey, let's wait until he comes back in the evening, work first.

Returning to the office from the scientific research building, Nishino saw five or six missed calls on his mobile phone, all of which were called with a smile. He thinks that his wife has no important things, maybe there is another dinner, he is afraid of drinking, especially those nonsensical dinners. I didn't care, and continued to bury my head in signing documents.

"Ding Dong", WeChat is coming. Nishino opened WeChat, and it turned out to be an application to add friends, the other party's screen name is Jing Xiao, and the avatar is a nurse, aged about 20 years old. Nishino approved the request without a second thought.

Jingxiao immediately came with a message: Hello, what a coincidence. Can you add people nearby to me, I'm playing nearby people for the first time Oh, I searched for you through my phone's address book.

Nishino thought it was an acquaintance and typed in the word "hello", but half a day passed, and Shizushino didn't respond. Nishino sent a "? ”。

Five minutes later, Jing Xiao replied: I was giving a drip to a patient just now, and now that I am empty, what are you doing? How old are you? What's your name?

"Damn, girls nowadays are really bold, and they ask strangers about their ages at every turn." Nishino pondered, and scribbled a line of words: Writing novels, I'm in my 30s, there is an introduction to the space, and I watch sharks.

Shizushino: I work as a trainee nurse at the hospital here, where do you live? Send me a location to see if it's far away?

How can I tell you where I am? Want to trick me? Nishino laughed to himself. However, he still decided to tentatively quiet Xiaoxiao, "I'm in Yuexiu District, more than 20 kilometers away from you, and you are studying at the Military Medical University?" ”

"By the way, I'm 21 years old this year, my hometown is Sichuan, and I just came here for an internship.

"Yes, Yuexiu Park, Big Buddha Temple, etc. are worth visiting, and the bus will arrive for two yuan. The Huanghuagang Martyrs Cemetery is also good. I'll take you to Humen Beach to blow the wind when I'm free. Nishino sensed that there was something wrong with this Shizushino, and since he was interning at the Military Medical University Hospital, it was impossible not to know the attractions in Yuexiu District.

"We're staying in the dormitory of the Military Medical University Hospital, are you far away?"

"Not far. Come to my house to play, I will take you to the mountain Buddha Temple pilgrimage and see Baiyun Airport. ”

In order to prove that he is indeed an intern, Jing Xiao sent a small video and left a text, I entertained myself before, I can rest tomorrow, and there is a little sister, who is also an intern from other places, if you are free, or you will come to us as a tour guide.

"Okay."

"Let's talk about it when I get off work, the head nurse will come over to inspect in a while, I'm going to work, contact you on WeChat after work, don't fool me." And then there was no follow-up.

Nishino is too lazy to pay attention to this little girl of unknown origin, the liar has made all means, it is better to be cautious, and be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship. If you want to trick me, you're still tender!

Then it was time for the lunch break, and in order not to disturb his sleep with calls and messages, he put his phone on silent. He lay down in a chair and fell asleep before he knew it.

When I woke up, it was two o'clock in the afternoon. He rubbed his temples, got up and moved for a while, and suddenly remembered the self-proclaimed "trainee nurse" Shizushino. When I opened the screen, there were more than a dozen pieces of information.

"Brother, please do me a favor, but I'm afraid you will misunderstand me!"

Hehe, the little girl screams very sweetly. Nishino couldn't help but laugh.

"Please, I booked a ticket for my mother online, and there is still a difference of 178 yuan, can you help? Emergency! Remember to leave a message below (love you) to work overtime until 12 o'clock at night at the latest, and go out to pay you back. ”
