Chapter 46:

In the past two months, a total of three companies have overpriced the copyrights of the book TV series "The Great Controversy" and the Internet TV series.
The price of one of them was too low, so I didn’t even bother to talk about night tours, and blocked it directly.
There are two remaining, one Mingxu Entertainment, asking for 10 million; one Yuanxuan Media, asking for 8 million.
It's fine today.
Li said that when the stars got off the plane, the blue sky was full of sunshine, and the city was shrouded in this golden red light, magnificent and vibrant.
He bumped into the night tour who came to pick him up at the airport.
Yeyou is 35 or 6 years old, with half-length hair, slightly curled ends, drooping eyelids, heavy dark circles under the eyes, and dots of purple stubble on his chin. It does not look like the editor-in-chief of a literary website Yes, it's a lot like young artists playing guitar in subway tunnels.
Li Shuoxing said to the person who greeted him: "Long time no see."
Night tour: "Long time no see."
After he said, he looked at people.
The other party’s sneakers, jeans, sweater, and a basic black long down jacket on the outside, and an ordinary leather backpack slanting on the back. Although the leather backpack is large, it is soft and collapsed. what.
He couldn't help asking: "Where are your other luggage?"
Li Shuoxing: "What luggage? All my things are here."
Yeyou reminded: "You have to stay here for at least five or seven days. Do you have enough clothes? You only talked about the film and television in the morning. Mingxu is good to talk. See you tomorrow. Yuanxuan just returned. You have to arrange until the fourth day. , And then toss it back and forth. Seven days is considered a conservative estimate."
Li said that Xing doesn’t matter:
Buy it where you don’t have any clothes. I specially booked a hotel in the center of the business district. I went downstairs to eat and buy clothes. I have everything I want. There are three things in my bag.

The night tour is a little interested: "Mobile phones and laptops, what else?"
Li said Xing: "A box of underwear."
Yeyou gave Li Shuoxing a thumbs up.
The two passed through the crowd at the airport, entered the underground parking lot, and got into the car.
The black car slowly pulled out of the airport.
As time passed, the golden red color began to fade, and the night was covered with neon lights from all around.
In the back seat of the car, Li Shuoxing absently looked at the busy traffic outside the window, but the thoughts in his mind lightly dispersed and scattered to the meeting tomorrow...

Ten o'clock the next morning.
When Li Shuoxing and Yeyou came to Mingxu together, the person in charge of the project greeted him and said with a smile: "Hello, father-in-law."
Li Shuoxing was taken aback.
The person in charge smiled again: "Teacher Ximu, I am your book friend and your fan. Your book is recommended by me to the purchasing department. I think what you wrote is very interesting. There are some common online novels that are not Something written out."
Only then did Li Shuoxing find his tongue: "Hello, may I ask you—"
Person in charge: "My name is Chen and I am a producer."
Li Shuoxing: "Chen Producer, hello."
Producer Chen greeted them: "Two of you, sit down, come here, and drink some tea first." He said, while boiling water to make tea, while continuing to talk, "Mr. Ximu, you said you wanted to come to the company in person, knowing that we are right about this. I’m actually very happy about the ideas and plans for this book. If it’s not that I’m not free recently, I’m going to visit you in person to discuss these things with you."
"Going back to what I said just now, I think your novel is different because, in addition to a complete worldview, your novel also has a very complicated and very unconventional character relationship table. And this is what I think The essential elements of a successful TV drama work. If you sign a contract with us, Mr. Ximu, I will strive to make your work our key project this year, and do my best to restore the world and characters you wrote in the battle. We I plan to do a very high-quality project."
In the next step, the production of Chen began to express himself in detail, more specifically how to make it, what kind of directors and actors he plans to find, when he is expected to start, the overall investment quota and production time. It is indeed very confident.
Li Shuoxing didn't speak much, but he listened very carefully, only occasionally interjecting two sentences.
Producer Chen took a sigh of relief until 11:30 and nearly twelve. He glanced at the time: "It's noon, Teacher Ximu, editor-in-chief, shall we have lunch next to you?"
Li Saixing: "No, it's too much trouble. I already understand the idea of ​​producing, thank you for producing."
Producer Chen invited them two more times, and when Li said that Xing was not polite, he sent them to the door of the office.
When he walked to the door, he also took a bag of food from his assistant and handed it to Li Shuoxing: "Teacher Ximu, this is our specialty here. Although it is a roadside fly restaurant, it tastes really good. Let me give you a taste. taste."
A bag of snacks worth 20 or 30 yuan, at this time, showed the rare and intimate feelings of the host.
Li said Xing was also an accident. He took the bag and thanked Producer Chen again: "Thank you for the production. I will consider it seriously."
Producer Chen said one last word: "Teacher Ximu is too polite. I still said what I said earlier. If Teacher Ximu is willing to be the screenwriter of this project, I absolutely welcome it. The novel author personally adapts the original work, which will definitely be able to retain as much as possible. The essence of the original work. If the time is too short, Teacher Nishiki does not have to worry. You can read the script as a non-staff member. Our project team will do our best to respect the opinions of the original work."
When the two came out of Mingxu, Yeyou said, "This production is really hard. It's rare that you are a fan. Or just this one? But writing the script is fine, it's really annoying, so you still put your energy It’s better on "Jiudu"."
Li Shuoxing corrected each other: "Not all counts."
Night tour: "Huh?"
Li Shuoxing explained: "Not all of my book buddies, he should have watched the big controversy, but he may not have read it very carefully. When I was talking just now, a reader who had read that book would never remember it wrong. The plot was slightly distorted, but he didn't notice it."
Ye You disagreed: "You are too demanding. People are busy with things. Your essay is several million words. How could he follow through after reading it? It's probably halfway through. I was busy with things on the way, so I didn't pick it up. ."
Li Shuoxing actually agreed with Yeyou's words: "This film is really amazing. The special products they send are really delicious."
Yeyou glanced at it, and didn't notice when, the person walking next to him reached into the bag to take snacks and ate them with relish.
He was speechless for a moment and couldn't help sighing with emotion: "My father-in-law, that is, you have the status of a river and lake. It is worthwhile to ask questions; if you want to change a little author, there is a film and television company to ask the price, I dare not say anything. I'm afraid that a few more words about copyright will become pornographic."
Li Shuoxing told the truth: "Actually, I am ready to come here with copyright pornography."
Night tour: "..."
The corners of his mouth twitched: "Ximu, be your own person. We desperately push the copyright to you, and contact the film and television companies for eating and drinking, but not to make you come and stir it yourself."
Li Shuoxing smiled: "It's good to be not yellow, of course not yellow. It's a lot of money. But don't worry, isn't there still Yuanxuan the day after tomorrow?"

After seeing Ming Xu, Li Shuoxing declined the invitation of a few friends from Beijing to dinner, and went back to the hotel to rest.
Then began the hotel days of reading books, watching TV series, playing games to accompany the cubs, and occasionally writing articles.
Among them, Li Shuoxing's favorite thing to do is to play games to watch the cubs every morning when they are five minutes from seven.
Because at seven o'clock every day, the sprinkler in the courtyard will start to sprinkle water. Amidst the sound of water, the villain will open his eyes, get up from the bed, and first walk to the window to look out.
at this time.
Every day at this time.
There will be an increase in favorability ranging from 20 to 50!
In other words, every morning at 7 o'clock in the morning, as long as Li Shuoxing opens his eyes and starts playing the game, he can see the data of the good feeling pool in the game and jump up by himself without doing anything. A mature goodwill pool.
feeling good.
The mood is super happy.
The mood is full of joy like wool!
In the early morning, both inside and outside of the game were eating breakfast, and they were chatting during breakfast time.
Su Mingqian asked first. He pretended that he didn't care very much, but he still cared a little: "Ximu, you haven't shown up a lot in the past few days. Are you busy?"
Li Shuoxing: "Remember the film and television copyright I told you last time?"
Su Mingqian: "Of course."
Li Shuoxing broke the sun egg on the plate and let the half-raw egg yolk wash away the green onions and coriander on the plate with disgust, eating only the leftovers: "I've been running this thing these days."
Su Mingqian asked with concern: "Is it going well?"
Li Shuoxing: "The film and television business is going well. Both companies have a strong willingness to buy, depending on which one they sell to. That is, people are always out there, not stable, and there is no time to find someone to write. writing."
Su Mingqian found a vocabulary he didn't understand: "Spelling?"
Li Shuoxing: "Two or more authors write within the specified time, and the one who writes the most wins."
Su Mingqian understood: "Is the purpose to stimulate writing desire and improve efficiency?"
Li said Xing: "That's it."
Su Mingqian pondered silently, and then asked, "Is there any other way to improve your efficiency?"
Li said Xingxian said: "Yes, such as Guan Xiaoheiwu. It is a mandatory codeword software. You can't leave the software without writing the specified number of words, you can't go online, you can't chat, the external force is always very strong. powerful……"
Su Mingqian thoughtfully.
Having said that, Li Shuoxing's cell phone rang suddenly, and Yeyou called over.
Li said Xing: "Baby, I have something to do. Let me go. I will come back at noon to dine with you."
He turned off the game and answered the phone.
Yeyou said on the phone, "I'm downstairs in the hotel. Let's go to Yuanxuan together."

The meeting with Yuanxuan was not as easy and pleasant as the meeting with Ming Xu.
When Li said Xinghe Yeyou arrived at the destination, they met with a project manager in Yuanxuan.
The other party was in his forties, an elite person, and asked straightforwardly: "Teacher Ximu, you asked two questions about books before. Are you planning to participate in the screenwriting of TV series?"
Li Shuoxing was a little surprised that the other party asked so directly at the beginning.
He replied: "No, I don't have this time."
"Understood." The project manager nodded and shook hands with Li Shuoxing. "My last name is Xu and Shan Minghong."
Then, he took out two more documents about "The Great Struggle" from the table, one was the project application and the other was the project plan.
When giving the two documents to Li Shuoxing, he played the project PPT at the same time and introduced: "The answers to the two questions of Teacher Ximu are here. The former is the reason for our purchase of the project, and the latter is our opinion. The idea of ​​the project."
Li Shuoxing was surprised that he could get such a specific thing, let alone see the PPT.
He and Yeyou looked at each other.
Although this is not enthusiastic enough, it is also sincere.
It is much stronger than the first one.
Li Shuoxing opened the application form first, and saw that the reason for recommendation reads:
"The imagination is magnificent and the momentum is wild. It is a work with both world innovation and character stories. It is suitable for adaptation. Similarly, there are good performances. It helps us to open the situation in the beginning."
He then opened the planning book, his brows suddenly frowned.
With regard to the TV drama market and analysis of his article, the other party believes that it is necessary to delete the overly complicated brain-burning part, keep the interesting characters and the strong conflict between the characters, and add the plot that the audience expects.
Li Shuoxing asked a question: "I saw the phrase ‘add the plot that the audience expects’ in the plan. What do you think is the plot that the audience is expecting, the love festival?"
Xu Hong smiled slightly. This meeting until now, he showed this expression for the first time: "Of course not, we are not stupid. Why do we want to add this content to a TV series of resourceful power? All our additions will be based on the language of the TV series. Go ahead, stay close to the tone of your article. This is the purpose for us to buy the original and then adapt it."
A conversation takes a lot of time.
From ten o'clock in the morning, to 12 o'clock noon, and then to 1:30 in the afternoon.
From 12 noon to 1:30 in the afternoon, Li Shuoxing couldn’t help taking out his mobile phone and glanced at it during the exchange. When he went out, he told the villain that he would have lunch together, but now he can drink. It's afternoon tea.
It’s very strange to play games just to talk to people about cooperation.
Li Shuoxing unconsciously put the phone on the desktop, sliding his fingers on the screen subconsciously, sliding up and down...
In the follow-up of the conversation, Xu Hong focused not on the book, but on the TV series produced by his company, which has a successful precedent. From this precedent, they analyzed various success factors.
This is a conversation full of dry goods.
After listening to Li Shuoxing for a while, he also recognized the other party's statement, and then suddenly realized that the other party was trying to convince himself.
First take the existing successful cases as examples.
Then explain how to make the big battle to make this successful model.
Not to mention, this approach is indeed justified.
Li Shuoxing listened carefully to all of Xu Hong's views, and then he said: "I understand what Manager Xu meant. I am very grateful to Manager Xu for explaining me."
Xu Hong: "You're welcome. I think the good cooperation between the two parties is built in an open and transparent environment. So some words will be straightforward, and I hope Teacher Ximu will not mind."
Li Shuoxing shook his head: "Don't mind."
He didn't stay here anymore, and left Yuanxuan directly with Yeyou.
On the way back, Yeyou said while driving, "What do you think of Yuanxuan?"
There was no sound from the back seat.
Ye Yu glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that the head of the person sitting in the back seat was drooping, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and his expression was not very happy.
Yeyou thought for a while, and said, "I think this is a more sincere one. They really understand what they plan. They are also very strong. If you want to cooperate with them, I am afraid that you can't even talk about how to shoot. And his price is two million less than Ming Xu, and the difference is not a small amount."
Immediately afterwards, he heard a game sound effect.
But the game sound effect disappeared abruptly before playing for two seconds.
Afterwards, Li Shuoxing said: "Damn!"
Night Tour: "What's the matter?"
Li said Xing's brows frowned: "The phone is dead. Do you have a power bank?"
Night tour: "..."
Are you upset about feelings?
He smiled: "Nothing."
Fortunately, the road back to the hotel was not congested. When Li Shuoxing sat in the back seat of the car and began to be irritable, the car finally arrived at the hotel.
He and Yeyou simply walked straight to the room to plug in the phone.
When the familiar start-up screen appeared in front of him, Li Shuoxing's irritability was wiped out.
In modern society, mobile phones are everything.
He entered the game familiarly, seeing the villain at one glance, and at the same time seeing the goodwill pool.
It has been a long time since lunch, and he is a little worried that the villain will start to lose his favor if he gets impatient.
But it was beyond his expectation.
The villain didn't lose his opinion, not only didn't, the data in the opinion pool has risen a lot since he went offline.
Li Shuoxing was a little surprised.
He couldn't help but uttered: "Baby."
Then I saw that Su Mingqian who was sitting on the sofa reading a book suddenly raised his head when his voice sounded.
A +10 floated out of his head.
Then he heard the voice of relief from the other party.
"Ximu, are you here? I just thought something happened to you."
Li Shuoxing: "..."
Because I think something has happened to me, so I sit here, worrying, and silently adding good feelings?
How can the milk be so sweet!
Li Shuoxing was moved, and he quickly explained: "Nothing happened, but this time I went to talk with the film and television party about copyright, and we talked a little longer."
"That's good." Su Mingqian groaned, "Ximu, can I make a request?"
Li Shuoxing: "What's the requirement? You say you say~"
Su Mingqian thought about this question for a long time: "Can I have your contact information? For example, take the initiative to send you a message and leave a message for you, so that after we have made an appointment, if you have something to do, send a message. Give it to me and I will know."
Li Shuoxing was stunned by the words.
He thought about it, his heart moved.
If the villain can take the initiative to send me messages, there will be more interactive ways. Even when I am writing, I can cubs anytime and anywhere. I just don’t know if this system can be realized...
The system says it's very simple.
System: "The lover has asked the player to send a message to the player. Does the player agree to it? Yes/No."
you still need to ask?
Li Shuoxing chose "Yes" without hesitation.
Almost at the same moment, Su Mingqian's Weibo came from the game: "The light screen has a message function. Your name is in the address book. Can I send you a message?"
Li Shuoxing: "Try it?"
Su Mingqian thought briefly, and typed the first line of words in the new function interface: "Ximu, are you there?"
The phone dinged.
The horizontal bar flashed out of the screen.
Love it APP:
Su Mingqian said to you, "Ximu, are you there?"
After this sentence, there is a cute reply button.
Li said Xing: "!"
It turned out to be this kind of function, which also means--
He directly played the game and returned to the screen, but the horizontal bar pushed by the game did not disappear. He still stayed on the screen. Li Shuoxing clicked to reply and edited the content: "I am."
It's Ding Dong again.
New bars flashed.
Su Mingqian continued: "Ximu, are you finished?"
Li said Xingchao liked this feature: "It's over."
Ding Dong again.
Su Mingqian sent a message: "Ximu, I think this function is very good, so that I can supervise your writing in real time."
Li Shuoxing: "..."
Li said Xing: "???"
Su Mingqian sent a softer sentence: "I will make a good writing time plan for you."
Li said Xing: "?????"
