Looking at the bank reminder text message received on his mobile phone, Xiao Chu sighed a little.

Writing songs is to make more money than being a play.

However, screenwriting is his main job after all, and the upper limit is higher than simply writing songs, so he has no plans to change careers.

In addition, writing down a high-level play, scene by scene, even if it is "copied", brings him a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, which is much stronger than copying songs.

After all, copying the lyrics of the song is very simple, you can memorize it at will, and you are responsible for picking up the score.

As for copying plays, there is no direct script to copy, and you need to write it out scene by scene according to the impression in your mind.

This amounts to another form of re-creation.

The self-satisfaction brought by work is also another important gain and life motivation in addition to money.

Xiao Chu promised to send the lyrics of the new song to Du Xuancheng within half a month.

Looking at the bearded, long-haired, greasy and obscene director in Xiao Ai's eyes, leaving with Dong Chun, Liu Jie and Xia Tingcia both had a strange feeling in their hearts.

I didn't expect this meeting and negotiation to be so smooth, and I didn't expect that the "rotten peach blossoms" that had plagued Liu Jie for so long two years ago would have such a reason.

To be honest, after listening to Dong Chun's original intention, Liu Jie had already forgiven him for his rudeness.

It is not easy for a single father to take care of such a young daughter alone.

His heart for his daughter is also quite rare.

So Liu Jie promised that she would go to Dong Chun's wedding.

Not for him, for this father-daughter relationship.

Xiao Chu drank and said, "Sister Liu, then next, I have to borrow the cicada goddess from you for a few days, you shouldn't object, right?"

The woman sang with her husband, Xiao Chu followed and knew, and she also called Liu Jie Sister Liu.

Liu Jie and Sister Liu's pronunciation are basically the same, and Liu Jie didn't notice that she had changed her name.

She replied with a smile: "Of course there is no problem, but I know that I have to fly to Xiangjiang with me tomorrow, there are two top fashion magazines, and two first-class top fashion brands want to cooperate with Zhizhi." ”

"This is a letter of intent that has been signed before the launch of "Dream Chaser". ”

"Now that the results of "Dream Chaser" are so good, knowing that the popularity has skyrocketed, these companies have begun to urge, and I am ready to finalize these things before the Spring Festival. ”

Xiao Chu looked at Xia Tingcicada.

Xia Tingcicada nodded slightly.

She didn't want to go to Xiangjiang either, she wanted to follow her back to the magic capital, but she couldn't help it, after all, she was not a little daughter, and she couldn't abandon her career.

"Okay, the time agreed with Director Du is within half a month, I'm not in a hurry, I'll talk about it after you come back from Xiangjiang. ”

Then Xiao Chu and Xia Tingcia and Liu Jie's two daughters also left by car.

Xia Tingcian and Liu Jie returned to the Bailai Hotel, while Xiao Chu went to Xiao Ai's "newly booked" chain hotel next door.

The next day, January 3rd.

Xia Tingcia and Xiao Ai sent Xiao Chu to the airport and returned to the magic capital.

The three of them flew to the Xiangjiang River in the afternoon.

Jin Cancan, who received the news in advance, drove to the Modu Airport to pick up Xiao Chu.

At the exit of the station, a baby fat-faced little girl held a big sign.

When he saw Xiao Chu coming out of it, he greeted him very excitedly, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Male God, this trip to the imperial capital must be very complete and sweet, right?

"Oh, the day before yesterday was New Year's Day, and Uncle Male God must have arranged a lot of projects to make the cicada goddess happy slowly, right?"

Xiao Chu patted her head, a little harder, and patted the little girl's head a little.

What kind of messy thoughts?

Unhealthy.

Jin Cancan was still not satisfied, and continued to gossip.

Why did she come to be an assistant?

Isn't that what you're here for?

It's just that Xiao Chu didn't give her a chance, and after getting into the car, she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep and rested for a while.

Jin Cancan was a little disappointed.

Alas, Uncle Male God refuses to say, boring.

It seems that if you want to know more about the process, you can only go to Xiao Ai, but Xiao Ai's sisters are sisters, but her mouth is very strict, even if she takes out all her pocket money to bribe her, she still won't say a word if she shouldn't say anything.

It's boring.

Xiao Chu directly asked Jin Cancan to send him back to Taoyuan Community.

After it was delivered, Jin Cancan, who had not been captured and had nothing to do, was ready to go back to school.

......

On January 4th, Xia Tingcian and Liu Jie still stayed in Xiangjiang and did not return to the magic capital.

On this afternoon, the 20th episode of "Love Apartment" was successfully filmed, and the first season was completed.

On January 6th, at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, episodes 17 and 18 of "Love Apartment" were launched.

At 20:00 on Thursday, January 7th, the last two episodes of "Love Apartment" were launched, and the first season was all broadcast.

As of 0:00 that night, the data was refreshed for the last time, and "Love Apartment" had an average of 67.5 million+ clicks, with a total of 1.35 billion clicks, successfully ending and becoming the hottest online drama on the whole network of the year.

Friday, January 8th.

Dolphin Group held a grand celebration dinner.

Director Lu Gaosheng, screenwriter Xiao Chu, producer Zhou Qing, as well as Zeng Xiaoxian, actor Zhao Huohuo, Lu Ziqiao, actor Lu Bo and other main creators, all invited to the stage to speak.

Many reporters were also invited to attend the celebration dinner, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Dolphin Group CEO Peng Dinghai, Group Senior Vice President Tian Moran, former Dolphin Film and Television Director Yan Gaoxiang, current Film and Television Director Ji Yuanshi and other senior executives of the company were all present.

After the main creators finished their speeches, when it was the turn of the group's CEO Peng Dinghaitai, Mr. Peng directly announced that according to the usual practice, all the rewards formulated before would be distributed the next day, bringing the atmosphere of the dinner to the climax.

At ten o'clock the next day, the rewards of all the personnel really arrived.

Xiao Chu, as the only screenwriter, according to the standards after several previous adjustments, the results of "Love Apartment" reached the explosive level, with a bonus of 2 million, plus a fourth-level screenwriter's manuscript fee of 5,000 yuan for an episode, a total of 100,000 manuscript fees, a total of 2.1 million yuan, and all of them are after tax.

Cari originally had more than 500,000 left, plus the 2.1 million, plus the deposit of 150,000 paid by Du Xuancheng, the total deposit was close to 2.8 million.

Xiao Chu can be regarded as having a small surplus of money now.

From the public notice sent by the WeChat work group, Xiao Chu saw that Wu Chengliang, the former drama director who left halfway and accompanied his wife on a trip, also gave a full bonus of 500,000 yuan.

Wu Chengliang sent back a video of congratulations and thanks.

Of course, Jin Cancan, the rookie assistant, also has bonuses.

......

At noon, Xiao Chu received a call from Zhang Songhe, the manager of the production department.

"Xiao Xiao, while there is no official holiday, you can come to the company in the afternoon, and after everything is taken care of, you can rest assured and enjoy your fun. ”

"Okay manager, I'll be here at two o'clock. ”

After Jin Cancan got the first bonus in his life, he had already gone out with his little sister, and Xiao Chu could only drive to the company by himself.

In the office of the manager of the production department, Xiao Chu met Lu Gaosheng.

Zhang Songhe got straight to the point and said: ""Love Apartment" has been broadcast, and I called you here today to officially register for the Golden Monkey TV Festival. ”

"You fill in another piece of information, and after confirming that it is correct, the company will submit it to the selection committee. ”

The registration time for the Golden Monkey TV Festival is January 10th, and "Love Apartment" is just before this, and the full wave is online, and you can sign up.

The company is preparing to compete for three awards: Best Online Drama, Best Online Drama Director, and Best Online Drama Screenwriter.

"Love Apartment" has achieved such good results, the company is confident that all three awards will be shortlisted, and at least two awards will be won.

Xiao Chu and Lu Gaosheng had been informed about this matter before, so they were not surprised at all, and quickly filled out the form.

When it came, Zhang Songhe left Xiao Chu behind.

Xiao Chu asked curiously, "Manager, is there anything else?"

Zhang Songhe replied: "Mr. Ji asked you to fill out the form and go over, and he was waiting for you in the office." ”

Now Xiao Chu knew what was going on.

When I went to the director's office, I had already made tea.

"Mr. Ji, are you looking for me?" Xiao Chu asked.

Ji Yuanshi pointed to the chair, asked him to sit first, and poured him another cup of tea.

He also poured himself a glass, and after taking a sip, he said: "It's nothing else, it's just that I told you last time, the cooperation with Litchi Satellite TV, the theme, creativity, how did you go?"

Xiao Chu replied: "It's okay, urban workplace dramas, spy war dramas, suspense criminal investigation dramas, I already have relatively mature ideas in these three directions, and I am still making final considerations." ”

Ji Yuanshi said: "Very good, after drinking this cup of tea, you can go." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Chu was surprised.

Ji Yuanshi was still very indifferent, "I just remind you not to forget, I don't urge you, it's still the time given before, just hand in the plan before the Spring Festival, and enjoy your ten-day vacation." ”

Director Ji's style of doing things is really unique, impressive, and I don't quite adapt to it for a while.

Yes, Xiao Chu drank the small cup of tea and left silently.

Leave!

The Epoch Stone is not sent either.

......

As soon as he walked out of the company, Xiao Chu wanted to send a WeChat message to Xia Tingcicada, but received a somewhat unexpected phone call.

The crystal fairy Gao Jing called.

In fact, since the last "blind date", Xiao Chu and Gao Jing have not intersected, I don't know why she called.

But since I called and saw it, it would be rude not to answer.

"Hey. ”

"Xiao Chu?" On the phone, Gao Jing's familiar voice came.

"It's me, you're looking for me?"

"I can't look for you if I'm fine?"

"It's okay......"

"Where are you now?" Gao Gaojing asked, interrupting.

"I'm downstairs at the office, getting ready to go home. Xiao Chu replied truthfully.

"You stand there and don't move, I'll come here, wait for me!"

"Huh?"

Xiao Chu was very strange, and just wanted to ask, but Gao Jing hung up the phone.

Shake your head.

I didn't know what was going on with this woman, so I had to wait.

More than 20 minutes later, a BMW mini drove in front of Xiao Chu.

Gao Jing, who has a delicate appearance and a graceful figure, walked out of the car.

"Are you looking for me?" Xiao Chu asked.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Gao Jing asked rhetorically.

Xiao Chu was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what she meant.

Gao Jing urged, "Yes or no? Manly husband, don't be such a mother-in-law." ”

Xiao Chu had no choice but to nod, "Yes." ”

"Do you mind having one more? Uh, no, do you mind another one?"

"Huh?"

Xiao Chu was dumbfounded.
