Chapter 45: Cross me (the evil dragon's calculation...)

Chapter 45:
Gu Nian, Jiang Xiaoqing and Qin Yuanyuan's small team of screenwriters is very clear.
Gu Nian is the core of the script creation, all outlines and personal settings are in charge of her, and her opinion is the main factor when disagreements arise; then the three are equally responsible for writing the specific content of the drama.
The social aspect of the group is centered on Jiang Xiaoqing, who has a carefree personality. Gu Nian's soul is offline for six and a half days seven days a week, and Qin Yuanyuan's refusal of difficulty is obviously not suitable for dealing with people who are unfamiliar with the crew or management.
When it comes to cooperation negotiations and contract drafting, Qin Yuanyuan, who has a minor undergraduate law degree and is careful and cautious, followed up.
The three-person team has been working together for a year and a half, and there have been no problems. Gu Nian is very assured of Qin Yuanyuan's grasp of the cooperation negotiations, so she never asked.
After returning to the rented house from the Taoist Temple, the three of them sorted out and finalized the new script outline and the details of the personage overnight, making sufficient preparations for the on-site "interview" the next day.
The appointment time with there is 10 o'clock in the morning.
After staying up the night before, Gu Nian woke up at 8 o'clock on the regular biological clock. Gu Nian, who was severely sleep deprived, floated into the dining and kitchen area after washing, leaned on the high stool to the cooking table, and yawned with her arms crooked.
Across the black marble slab, Qin Yuanyuan, who also contracted the logistics part, was turning over a frying pan to fry eggs. Jiang Xiaoqing stood by, mainly responsible for making trouble.
"You make trouble with me again, and you'll be ready to eat later." Qin Yuanyuan threatened.
"Don't don't, it's carcinogenic. Our living habits are terrible enough. In other aspects, let's leave more chances of life-saving."
Jiang Xiaoqing smiled and threw the eggshell into the trash can. When she looked up, she saw the thoughts of mollusks on the table.
Jiang Xiaoqing leaned forward: "Hey, Gu Nianda, why are you wilting again? Are you a balloon?"
"..."
Gu Nian put an eyelid and didn't answer her.
Qin Yuanyuan took the last fried eggs and bacon out of the pot, and put the white porcelain plate in front of Jiang Xiaoqing: "Don't worry about it. She is accumulating electricity at the moment. Now you have discharged the electricity for her. , I’ll get to the management in a moment, do you tell me the arc and the plot direction?"
Jiang Xiaoqing spit out her tongue: "Come on, it's better to let me dance a pole dance for them."
"Hahaha, get out of here, we are a serious screenwriter group, so you don't want to damage our group's reputation."
"..."
Except for the solemn "Thanks for the hospitality" before the meal, Gu Nian didn't say anything until he got into the taxi.
Until the taxi stopped in front of a building.
Gu Nian got out of the car, turned around, and froze.
She looked at the facade of the familiar company's first floor lobby in her sight, slowly raising her neck.
Hanging outside the building, the four words "Dingke Media" are eye-catching.
"Why don't you leave?" Jiang Xiaoqing, who was blocked from behind, was taken aback and raised her eyes blankly.
Gu Nian didn't move, her voice was muted: "...Why should we come to Subscribe Media?"
Jiang Xiaoqing scratched her head: "This is the address given by the management of Yuanyuan, right?"
Qin Yuanyuan was getting out of the passenger seat at this time, and walked around the body beside the two of them: "What are you stopping here to watch?"
Jiang Xiaoqing: "Gu Nian asked why he came here."
"Ah, it seems that the newly contacted funder from the producer is the customer media, right?" Qin Yuanyuan carefully observed Gu Nian's expression, "Gu Nian, you and this company..."
"It's okay."
Gu Nian Xing Shen, she turned her head and smiled at the two of them, "Maybe this building is too high, which makes me a little uncomfortable. Let's go."
"That must be. Dingke Media can be regarded as an old sign in the entertainment industry." Jiang Xiaoqing exclaimed, "The script that their company is willing to make, and the later publicity must be great... Hey, so speaking, Luo Xiu seems to be The artist who is reserved?"
"Ok."
"Wow, isn't it possible that the two of you will be in the same crew again? After all, if you decide to do your own drama, the actors must be selected from your own company first?"
"..."
Before Gu Nian's answer, Jiang Xiaoqing, who was walking in front, looked back blankly.
I saw Gu Nianzheng's eyes half-down, the facial features that had always been lazily beautiful, but at this time there was a kind of cold and icy emotion that seemed to be rejected thousands of miles away.
Jiang Xiaoqing turned back to the front in confusion.
Since she knew each other, she seemed to have never seen this kind of care.
After entering the company building of Dingke Media, the three Gu Nian explained their intentions to the front desk, and Qin Yuanyuan also contacted the person in charge.
They waited not long by the sofa in the lobby, and the person in charge had come out of the elevator and came to them quickly.
"I'm really sorry, I temporarily received a call on it, which made you wait a long time." The man who came here was a middle-aged male producer who looked 30 or 40 years old, with a very kind smile on his face.
Jiang Xiaoqing answered the conversation consciously and smiled enthusiastically: "It's okay, it's okay, we just happened to talk about the'interview' later."
The male producer laughs: "There is no interview, it is just a cutscene. We are very optimistic about this project internally, so don't worry too much."
Jiang Xiaoqing and Qin Yuanyuan looked at each other in surprise.
Standing behind the two of them, Gu Nian tightly closed her eyes when she heard the words. She looked at the male producer anxiously: "Where shall we talk next?"
The male producer was taken aback for a moment, his gaze jumped back, and he showed a puzzled expression: "This is?" "Gu Nian, she is responsible for the core part of our group's script." Jiang Xiaoqing quickly introduced.
"Oh, this is Miss Gu?"
The smile on the male producer's face seemed to be more amiable, and he turned sideways and motioned to the elevator where he was coming from.
"The three of you come upstairs with me, let's go to the third floor to discuss specific cooperation matters."
After speaking, the male producer turned around first and walked towards the elevator.
Gu Nian's shoulder line relaxed.
As Jiang Xiaoqing followed, she asked Qin Yuanyuan in a low voice, "Why go to the third floor?"
"The third floor is their temporary meeting room," Gu Nian walked aside, her voice lazy, "usually used to entertain small people like us."
Jiang Xiaoqing: "..."
Jiang Xiaoqing: "I have been hurt."
Qin Yuanyuan was more attentive. After thinking about it for a few seconds, he asked curiously, "Then they have other meeting rooms?"
"Well, the formal meeting room is on the 26th floor."
"Ha? Why do you want to go so high?" Jiang Xiaoqing turned her head in confusion.
"Probably because it is closer to them... the general manager's office."
"General manager?"
Just as Jiang Xiaoqing finished her questioning blankly, the male producer who was walking a few meters away suddenly looked back with a smile: "Miss Gu really knows our customers very well."
"..."
Gu Nian's eyes froze.
After her mood grew and suddenly relaxed, she instinctively returned to Qin Yuanyuan and Jiang Xiaoqing's problem, and she never expected that the producer would hear herself talking at such a distance.
Without waiting for Gu Nian to explain, Jiang Xiaoqing accepted it with a smile: "That's because Gu Nian's favorite artist is in your company. She must have done a lot of understanding in advance."
"..." Gu Nian looked at Jiang Xiaoqing with rare emotion.
"Oh? Which artist is it?"
Jiang Xiaoqing didn't even think about it: "Luo Xiu! The one that's particularly beautiful!"
"!"
Gu Nian, who had not had time to stop, withdrew her touch in despair.
Fortunately, the male producer seemed to just ask casually, smiled and responded and turned back to the front.
A group of four took the elevator upstairs and entered a small conference room. The temporary meeting room here is small, only about 20 square meters, and there are 3 leather seats on both sides of the oval meeting table.
A middle-aged man in his forties was already sitting in the chair on the far right side of the door.
Hearing the door opening, he got up and turned back.
The producer introduced: "This is our associate producer for this script project, Lianjincheng." "Hello, continuous production."
"Hello, hello, please sit down."
"..."
The three Gu Nian walked around the projector and projection screen, and sat on the three chairs on the side of the room.
The introduction to the character and plot direction obviously needs to be done by Gu Nian, so she sits in the middle, while Jiang Xiaoqing and Qin Yuanyuan are seated on her left and right.
As soon as Gu Nian sat down, he saw the producer sitting on the opposite right side, while the male producer who picked them up was sitting on the opposite left side.
The chair among them that was facing Gu Nian was left empty.
""
Gu Nian's eyes were slightly stagnant.
"...Gu Nian? Gu Nian?"
She hurriedly turned her head back, urging Gu Nian in a low voice, "Huh?"
"Is the U disk for the PPT we prepared with you?" After Qin Yuanyuan asked, he hesitated to observe Gu Nian's expression, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling well? Your face doesn't look good."
Gu Nian blinked and raised a slightly stiff smile: "It should be because I didn't sleep well last night."
Gu Nian took the USB flash drive out of her bag and handed it to Qin Yuanyuan, who was sitting on his right. After Qin Yuanyuan got the results, she took the initiative to get up and operate next to the computer under the projector.
When Qin Yuanyuan operated the computer to enter the PPT playback interface, she straightened up, and by the way brought back the remote control next to Gu Nian.
Gu Nian took it and took a light breath, "Then we will start"
"Miss Gu, please wait a moment." The male producer suddenly interrupted. He glanced down at the gold watch, then looked up apologetically, "We also have a meeting upstairs. The meeting It is expected that it will take a while to end. Let's wait for him to come down before starting, can we?"
"..."
Gu Nian's eyes slowly cooled down.
If she could have been suggesting that she was just frightening herself before this, this matter should have nothing to do with that man, then she could no longer deceive herself at this moment.
Obviously, the sudden change of the management did not neglect the attitude of their small screenwriter at all, but rather a kind and flattering producer. The vacancy left alone... all pointed to the same person.
Gu Nian's hand holding the slender remote control slowly clenched, and the emotions in her drooping eyes cooled a little bit.
If she is alone now, if this is not the script that the three of them have been working hard together recently, then she might be able to get up calmly and leave directly.
But if it does not hold.
Jiang Xiaoqing and Qin Yuanyuan, who were completely innocent and looked forward to this opportunity, sat beside her. She couldn't be so selfish, regardless of their thoughts and consequences.
Gu Nian lowered her eyes and silently adjusted her breathing to restrain her emotional state.
Then she looked up at the male producer: "If you can, I hope you can confirm the exact time with the person in charge. We can't wait forever."
The male producer was stunned and immediately nodded with a smile: "Okay, I will send a message to the person in charge."
Gu Nian said before lowering his head: "If he is too late, we can use the recording device to directly pass the audio or video files to him, and wait for him to have time later."
"No, I still want to see it with my own eyes."
Behind the half-opening of the conference room door, an inexplicably gloomy and pleasant voice sounded.
Gu Nian's figure froze.
She didn't move. Jiang Xiaoqing and Qin Yuanyuan looked up at the door curiously, while the two producers across the conference table looked like they were sitting on a spring, all brushing up and racing towards the door.
A man in a suit and leather shoes, unruly loose tie and shirt top button, strode into the meeting room.
He stopped behind the empty chair and was also directly opposite Gu Nian.
The two producers shouted back and forth: "Mr. Zheng."
"Yeah." The man replied perfunctorily, but his gaze kept falling on the girl in front of the window opposite. The eager desire in his eyes was immersed in the deep black eyes, looking gloomy and terrible.
The producer who led the three of Gu Nian up hesitated, and asked in a low voice, "The meeting should be about half an hour before it ends. How are you..."
Zheng Haolei stared at Gu Nian motionlessly, and said casually: "Oh, don't you say that I want to forget. I told them that I want to go to the bathroom, and if I didn't go back after that, let them continue."
"Huh?" the producer asked with a wry smile, "isn't this inappropriate?"
"What's wrong?"
"In case there is something important for you to decide at the meeting?"
"Important things have to be made at the meeting, so what do I need you to do?" The man finally dropped his gaze, glancing at the producer with a gloomy look and smiling, "Moreover, Miss Gu's idea is good, and future meeting minutes can be considered. The audio or video format is convenient for me to watch later."
"Yes……"
The producer knew that the prince had begun to commit a crime again, and could only agree with a helpless smile.
The middle seat was dragged into a harsh sound, and the man was half a meter away from the conference table and sat down near the door in this small conference room.
He stared at Zhan Nian again, without blinking: "Okay, Miss Gu is in a hurry to make a PPT report, isn't it yet to start?"
"..."
Gu Nian grasped the remote control in her hand, and silently said three times in her heart, "The opposite is the talking trash can", she turned away coldly.
In front of the long window, the electric curtain slowly closed.
Under the beam of light from only the projector, the girl got up, the remote control in her hand was lifted, and the PPT on the projection screen began to play with her gentle voice.
?
"...Mr. Luo, regarding the blind branch back then, this is the basic situation I have investigated so far."
On the second floor of a high-end apartment, on the first floor, in a corner of a private tea room, the man at the low table closed the folder in his hand and looked straight across.
There is a mahogany chair next to the window, carved with shallow dark patterns. The man in the chair wore a suit of home furnishings, his hair dangled and his expression was gentle and harmless.
Hearing the only voice in the room, he paused for a while before turning his head back, and his voice was low, "So, the storm that led to the withdrawal from school two years ago was directed and acted by Zheng Haolei."
"I'm afraid it is." The man at the low table hesitated and said, "But what is the cause is still under investigation. No other people related to that matter have been found yet, so..."
"Why didn't you find it?"
The man was stunned, "Because that Miss Gu who signed the contract as a blind branch is just a unilateral statement of the customer, and there is no way to verify the authenticity. At that time, Miss Gu was a solo creation, and there was no team or agent. Textual research..." "What about the fiancée."
"what?"
The man stunned his head and looked up at the dim eyes that were adorned with gentle smiles under the bright light by the window: "Since he directed and acted by himself, the fake fiancee who went to the school to take care of the troubles found her ."
The man reacted, "But she didn't show up next to Zheng Haolei afterwards. She may have been someone who was found temporarily and might not know the specific situation."
"Even if she didn't have direct contact with Zheng Haolei, there should be someone responsible for contacting her."
The man suddenly lowered his head: "Okay, I will follow this clue to investigate."
The room fell silent.
After a while, Luo Xiu looked back: "About Zheng Haolei, how is the investigation?"
The man smiled bitterly: "Zheng Haolei is really nothing worth digging. He is a romantic and unscrupulous rich second generation. He has good management skills, but his personality is very poor. He always benefits first, and he never whitewashes his own inferiority. . From a certain perspective, it is the same."
The man choked on his last sentence as soon as he finished speaking. He hurriedly raised his head to look at the man sitting in the chair by the window, for fear that the other party would be touched by his own phrase "like the same inside and outside".
Fortunately, the man seemed deaf and did not respond.
As soon as the man breathed a sigh of relief, he felt the phone in his arms vibrated.
After he took it out, he originally planned to hang up directly, but after seeing the number, the man looked up: "It's the phone number of my informant in Dingke Media. What might be new, I will answer it?"
"Ok."
With approval, the man turned aside and answered the phone. About two minutes later, the phone hung up.
The man's face turned slightly subtle: "Mr. Luo."
"?" Luo Xiu looked back.
"According to my informant, at around 9:50 this morning, Miss Gu and her two screenwriter friends entered Dingke Media together."
Luo Xiu paused, frowned and asked, "What are they doing?"
"It seems that there is a script to talk about."
"..."
"Moreover," the man hesitated and said carefully, "According to the informant, it should be just a small meeting, but ten minutes after they arrived at the company, Zheng Haolei left the company's board of directors' regular meeting directly, and it didn't happen until the board meeting ended. go back."
Luo Xiu chilled his eyes and got up from the chair.
The man was stunned: "Mr. Luo, where are you going?"
"Customer Media."
"Hey?"
Luo Xiu's figure saw that he was approaching the door, but he stopped before he stepped out, turned around and asked, "Did you come by car?"
"Huh? Right."
"What car?"
"...Ha, in our business, even if you can afford a luxury car, you can't drive it. You may not have heard of the name I said."
"How much is your car estimated?"
"Um, it's about 100,000 for a new car. I have been driving this car for several years now. I don't think I can get half of it back on the second-hand market."
"it is good."
"?"
This series of questions made the man more and more confused, and then he saw Luo Xiu turn back, stopped at the table, and stretched out his slender hand in front of him.
"I rent it once, then transfer the ownership, and add it to the contract at three times the price of the new car."
man︰"…………?"
Is this eldest young master who came from a high-ranking family so abnormal in his mind?
But money does not make a bastard.
The man then took out his car key without hesitation, and put his hands into Luo Xiu's palm with a smiling face that was so kind and almost flattering in the blink of an eye.
"I still have several cars there. If you still need them, please always order at no cost, buy one get one free!"
"Thank you. No need."
Luo Xiu got the key, went back to the room and changed his clothes, and then went downstairs accompanied by the man.
Parking lot downstairs.
After the man took his personal belongings out of the car, he looked uncertainly in front of him, even if he wore the simplest white shirt and trousers that could not identify those terrible brands, he wore a kind of extravagance that could not be ignored. Sense of youth.
After Luo Xiu got into the driver's seat, he couldn't help but speak with his probe: "Have you ever driven a car yourself?"
"Well," Luo Xiu scanned the car's functional design, lowered his eyes to insert the key, and said casually, "After several years of racing abroad, I got a driver's license when I came back."
"Racing, racing?"
"Well, what's the matter."
"..."
Facing the window of the car, Luo Xiu raised his eyes with a gentle smile from behind his thin gold glasses. The man outside the car froze for a few seconds and smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, it's okay. You drive slowly."
"Well. The report is organized and sent to the mailbox I gave you as it is."
"Ok, yes."
After dozens of seconds, the man standing on the spot looked at the of the car that was dragging the exhaust gas out of the car and was familiar but no longer his own, and shook his head in wonder.
"This means that the more gentle the appearance, the cross-country in the bone?"
On the way.
Luo Xiu's phone was thrown in the passenger seat, and the Bluetooth headset was in his right ear.
After the connection sound of "beep", the call is connected.
"Mr. Luo?"
"Well, what happened to the project that I asked you to prepare before?"
"Basically drafted, and I'm still working through the details for the last time."
"Okay. Before the specific implementation, please confirm the permanent guests of the show."
"Do you mean... the Gu Nian Miss Gu?" The other side of the phone read the name carefully.
Luo Xiu didn't pause: "Yeah."
There was silence for a few seconds.
Luo Xiu glanced at the phone, "Have execution difficulties?"
"No, we just don't know what excuses to use to contact her."
"Excuse?"
"Yes, after all, she is a freelance screenwriter, not affiliated with the company, and currently there is no personal famous work... and our own potential, strength, and connections are known to high-level people in the circle, but she is a small screenwriter like her. She is a screenwriter who doesn't have much contact with the forces in the circle. If we come here without excuse, it is easy to be regarded as a liar."
When Luo Xiu heard the words, he chuckled softly: "You mean, I'll come to you to find a way?"
"!"
The other side shivered fiercely, and when he recovered, he immediately smirked: "No, no, nothing, how can this little thing bother you?"
Luo Xiu said quietly, "She is very careful, don't show your feet. If there is no other excuse, then it is Geng Hongyu who introduced her to you."
"Huh? Ah, yes, Geng Hongyu is the chief director of "You Demon". If you have worked with Gu Nian, it can be a reason."
"We will finalize this within a week."
"Is it so urgent?"
"Ok."
Luo Xiu was about to hang up and was asked uncertainly by the other person: "Mr. Luo, in case, um, I mean in case. Because not all creators like to show up on this kind of show, just in case. Miss Gu believes and doesn't want to participate in our program, what should I do?"
"..."
The car was quiet for a few seconds, and there was a low, cold and charming smile.
"Then give her a condition."
"Huh? What conditions?"
"Just say to allow her," Luo Xiu lowered his eyelashes and laughed lightly. "Recommend an actor of his own choosing to record together."
"??"
