Chapter 61: Shocked Dan
James switched to football, and Michael Jr. is very likely to enter the NBA with James' script if he participates in the draft in '03.
It's hard to say whether he can reach James' height, but a league superstar position definitely can't run away.
In this case, Jamie's original plan will have to be changed.
Originally, he decided to help the Tao Xi family, and it was the publicity value behind this incident that he took a fancy to.
In particular, I know that the future iteration of the American version will become more and more magical, "Black Lives Matter" is rampant in Hollywood, and Saint Lo has legislated to support "zero yuan purchase".
The current owner of the Clippers will later have a few "whining words" with his girlfriend in private, and such illegal recordings cannot even be used as evidence in court, but they can be used as a reason for the league to force him to sell the team.
From the level of public opinion, it is necessary to gild yourself with a layer of gold in advance.
The current story of the Taussy family and Big Michael gave Jamie a good idea.
Immediately Jamie calls Jimmy and tells him to help him draw up two contracts.
One was an agreement for the Taussy family to authorize Jamie to write the family's story into a novel and monopolize the film and television rights.
The other is to authorize another author to co-write a novel with Jamie, and the other party can get the right of authorship and a certain percentage of royalty dividends, and the final interpretation right and film and television copyright of the work belong to Jamie.
To put it bluntly, the latter is actually a gunman agreement.
Jamie did this for two reasons.
First of all, he really didn't have much time to interview the Taussy family and gather material to put together a compelling enough story.
On the other hand, it is also the main reason.
Jamie has to take precautions, and in the future, there will be a falling out between the Taussy family and Big Michael because of interests, which will lead to the reputation of this novel also overturning.
In order to get rid of the relationship to the greatest extent, Jamie needs a back-handed person at that time.
The responsibility can be put on the gunman, because the interview with the Taussy family was done by the other party, and he was also deceived.
In an effort to find a suitable gunman, Jamie then called Robert, the editor-in-chief of Publishers Weekly.
Last time, this guy took John's public relations fee and worked very hard to promote the novel "Percy Jackson".
In view of the happy cooperation last time, this time Jamie also decided to ask the other party to help recommend the Gunners.
The requirements are simple.
Good at writing biographical stories, not famous, easy to control.
Robert thought about it for a few minutes after listening, but the answer he gave shocked Jamie.
"You recommend Dan?"
"That's right." Robert's tone on the other end of the phone was very affirmative, "You recommended his novel to me last time, I read it, although it doesn't have much publishing value, but the writing doesn't have to say anything, the key is that he perfectly meets your three requirements, isn't it?" ”
"But he's my friend, you should know that."
Jamie emphasized.
"That's why I think you should do it even more, imagine if you find another person, and after the novel is published, this person becomes popular, and your friend finds out about it, how do you think he will react?"
Robert's words stunned Jamie.
Because this gunman may become the target of the blame in the future, Jamie subconsciously doesn't want to find Dan to do this.
But that's just one possibility.
Compared to the benefits of participating in the writing of this novel and becoming famous, it is completely acceptable that this risk will explode in the future.
"Well, I'll consider your suggestion."
Putting down the phone, Jamie turned around to see Rebecca's progress in solving Serena, but unexpectedly found that his girlfriend's mood had returned to normal, and he was discussing something with Rebecca.
Jamie walked over.
"What are you talking about?"
Serena looked up.
"Talking about the bankrupt sister cake shop, Rebecca and I have made an appointment to visit the shop together after a while, and then send the news to the gossip queen."
Jamie looked at Rebecca to the side, not thinking that it must have been her idea.
"And Rebecca recommended me a vegetarian restaurant that she thinks is good, I'm going to try it tonight, you-"
Before Serena could finish speaking, Jamie shook his head decisively and refused.
He has no interest in vegetarianism at all.
What's more, he knew that Serena was taking revenge on Blair by doing so.
Serena was going to use this method to tell Blair that she had found a new girlfriend and that they were doing what she and Blair loved to do together.
Eat, shop, and shop together.
Rebecca's goal of breaking up the alliance between Serena and Blair was successfully achieved.
And Jamie has always been insensitive to this kind of bloody catch between girls.
Fortunately, Serena is not the kind of person who doesn't care about her boyfriend when she has a new girlfriend, so she immediately asked with concern.
"And what about your dinner?"
Jamie shrugged and replied:
"I'm going to go to Dan's house to find out the latest progress of WeHouse's invitation to members, and settle the dinner matter by the way."
Finding Nate is of course just an excuse, and Jamie's real purpose is to talk to Dan.
After saying goodbye to his girlfriend, Jamie took a taxi to 455 Water Street in Brooklyn.
He had already returned the key to Rufus when he moved out, and he had to ring the doorbell at this time.
It was Rufus who opened the door for him.
Seeing Jamie's visit, Rufus was very happy and stepped forward to give Jamie a warm hug.
At the same time, Jamie noticed that Rufus was a little depressed in his eyes, and after a simple inquiry to make sure that he was not in trouble running a gallery, Jamie had the answer in his heart.
It must have been Lily and Bart who got married, and it hit Rufus.
Originally, he met Lily again before, and Rufus was still looking forward to renewing his relationship with Lily, but he didn't expect to receive the news that Lily and Bart were about to get married.
Jamie couldn't comfort Rufus for this kind of thing, although Rufus did miss a good opportunity to eat soft rice.
Now that I know that the rich woman is fragrant, why did she go earlier?
It was Lily who dumped Rufus, oh, that's fine.
The two stood in the door and chatted for a while, but when they entered, Jamie met a person who had no idea of being here.
Collins Tausi.
She was sitting at the long dining table at Rufus's house, chatting with Rufus's youngest daughter, Jenny.
Even more bizarrely, Collins doesn't seem surprised at all to meet Jamie here.
Before Jamie could ask what was going on, Jenny told him the answer.
"Well, I didn't lie to you, did I? Jamie had lived here for a year, and now Nate lived in the same room he used to have. ”
At the same time, Rufus also regretfully explained to Jamie:
"Nate has something to do tonight, and won't be back until late."
He did this to invite Jamie to stay for dinner.
Not only did Jamie happily agree, but he also asked Dan in passing.
"Didn't he tell you? His new novel was picked up by a publishing house, and they called him to ask him for an interview. ”
As soon as Rufus finished speaking, the sound of a key unlocking came from the side of the door.
Dan then pushed the door and walked in.
