Chapter 47 Atypical Conversations
After a brief silence, Tang Nan returned: "What Xingyue means - seeing the author is also part of the cooperation."
The implication of this sentence is that if Gu Yongsheng insists not to meet them, then this cooperation is likely to be abandoned.
"If they feel that cooperation cannot continue because of this, then they will not cooperate!" Liu Jingting replied lightly, without any concealment of the emotions in his words.
Whether it is the previous world or the current world, it seems that the content creators in the most fundamental link have never received enough respect.
"It's not that I intentionally made things difficult for me, but this threat is really nonsense to me. I believe that Mr. Lu will understand what I mean." Liu Jingting tried to make his words more subtle.
After several exchanges and some information from Mihu, Tang Nan also had a rough understanding of some of the personalities of Liu Jingting, a partner, at least it was clear that if he was unwilling to do something, it would be useless to persuade him no matter how much he persuaded him.
Tang Nan had no choice but to return: "Let's communicate with the other party again, and there is news to contact you."
...
"What does it mean? What does it mean to be busy with writing and have no time?" Gong Chengen looked at the young subordinate in front of him, as if he was watching a monster.
"That's how Qianhong responded. They said that Gu Yongsheng is busy writing serials now, and he really has no time, so..."
"Get out of your egg, so what, what, what do you and me, do I want to listen to your brainless conclusion? Do you know how many big-name writers want to see me now?"
The young subordinate nodded to show that he knew.
"You still nodded. Didn't you hear that I was mocking you?"
The young subordinates were confused and didn't know how to respond, so they nodded.
In fact, few employees of the Gong Family Group are afraid of the second young master of the Gong family. Although this son is full of the playboy spirit of a rich child, he is a character with "Rakshasa face and Bodhisattva heart" and does not have the cunning and deep temperament that a rich family should have.
In contrast, Gong Da Shao is very consistent with this setting, handsome, cold, gloomy, and cruel. He is obviously the kind of cold president who does evil things.
Gong Chengen suddenly laughed and said, "You really look like an idiot. Forget it, it's not your fault. There will always be a few guys who claim to be aloof. I'll call Lu Yichou and I'll talk to him."
The young subordinate immediately took out his cell phone and called Lu Yichou's phone number.
"Hello, Mr. Huang."
Gong Chengen, the young subordinate, was named Huang Bo, and was a clerk in the company's external relations department. He was temporarily arranged to do things for the second young master. When he saw the second young master, he inexplicably signed a confidentiality agreement.
When he saw Gong Ershen, who looked serious, he felt that he might have to come into contact with the core secrets of the Gong Group. He excitedly imagined the glory of his life from now on, but he was actually sent to talk about the task of adapting a TV series.
He was completely confused about what kind of work he was doing every day was to keep confidential?
"Hello, Mr. Lu, my boss wants to talk to you."
Huang Bo handed the phone to Gong Chengen and quietly retreated aside.
This was the first time that Gong Ershao had been discussing cooperation with people so seriously, so he was not very clear about some official jargon, so he went straight to the point and asked, "Why didn't that Gu Yongsheng want to meet us?"
Lu Yichou, who has been through the battlefield for a long time, was shocked by this question. According to common sense, shouldn’t the other party ask him hello first and then introduce himself, and then gradually push the topic to the point?
"Well, Mr. Gu is really busy. He has a few serials to write, and he has made continuous appointments every day. Especially after this essay contest, the number of appointments has increased sharply. I am really sorry."
Lu Yichou conveyed the prepared rhetoric to the other party in the most sincere tone, thinking that it was perfect.
"I can increase the money. Otherwise, you can ask him to report an appearance fee and make sure he earns more than he writes those manuscripts. Is this okay?"
Lu Yichou was stunned again and said to himself: "Can you play according to the routine?"
"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. The contract between our company and the author does not include social engagements." Lu Yichou heard the other party's immatureness and became more and more at ease to deal with it.
Gong Chengen has already bragged with Wang Qianqian. If he did not invite Gu Yongsheng to meet him in the end and broke his trust in Wang Qianqian, it would be even more annoying to him than losing this TV series.
"Then we won't buy it, and the cooperation will be terminated." Gong Chengen had no choice but to show his killer move.
"Which young master of the Gong family are you?" Lu Yichou asked suddenly without accepting the words he had terminated the cooperation.
Gong Chengen blurted out, "Second Young Master." After saying that, he felt something was wrong with the game. Someone called himself a few masters from a certain family.
"Well, Gong Ershao, I still want to ask you to think carefully here. Even if the author doesn't come out to meet, our cooperation can still achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. We believe and respect the strength of Ocean TV. Oh, sorry, it's Xingyue TV. I'm sorry, in addition, my wife's good daughter is all fans of Guitan, so please think twice."
Lu Yichou's words were sincere and scheming, especially the "slip error" was even more vicious. Sure enough, Gong Chengen's face changed slightly when he heard the words "Ocean TV", and suddenly recalled the words of grandpa who taught his elder brother a lesson in his mind: "If the negotiations encounter a stalemate, remember to take the initiative to propose to stop the negotiations."
Gong Chengen said to the phone: "I'll think about it again." He immediately hung up the phone.
"Second Young Master, according to my opinion, let's forget about this matter. When will we look at others' expressions?" Huang Bo, who was standing beside him, suggested.
For the Gong family, this is really an inconspicuous little thing, but for Gong Chengen, this is a chance to prove himself to Wang Qianqian, he will not forget it.
After a while of silence, Gong Chengen called Lu Yichou again. This time he did not give the other party a chance to speak, and said directly: "Mr. Lu, I know that you, like my elder brother, know a lot of negotiation skills. I don't have these, nor do I like them. Since the contract has been signed, the cooperation will continue. I just hope you can bring me a sentence to Gu Yongsheng and say--"
Gong Chengen hesitated for a moment and continued, "Just say, I promised the girl I like and asked him to have a talk, hoping that he could fulfill it, that's it."
...
When Liu Jingting received Lu Yichou's retelling, he felt a ridiculous comedy. He did not narcissistically think that this was a star-chasing story, it was purely a normal curiosity of a person. It seemed that he had accidentally seen Yu Xuanji's poem "Given to the Neighbor's Girl", and he felt extremely curious in his heart. He wanted to know what kind of woman could write a sentence like "It is easy to get a priceless treasure, but it is hard to find a man with a heart."
Liu Jingting finally made a concession and asked Lu Yichou to hand over his WC number to the other party. Since the other party asked to talk, I don’t think there was any trouble of meeting him.
...
In less than half a month, I will go to Yuehe No. 1 Middle School to report that Liu Jingting followed his mother to the town to buy a large suitcase and also bought a expensive new set of clothes for his parents.
So far, the serial fee for "Shuke and Beta" has been able to maintain all the fees he spent in three years in high school. As for the amount of money Lu Yi raised, it is quietly stored in his father's bank card that has been abandoned for a long time.
The manuscript fee for "Children's Literature" has always been managed by the mother. Although the mother is reluctant to spend so much money to buy clothes, she finally feels relieved and compromised when she sees her son so persistent.
On the way home from the town, Lu Yichou sent a text message saying that the other party had accepted this arrangement and had already added a friend.
When he got home, Liu Jingting immediately turned on the computer and logged into WC. Sure enough, he saw a friend's application. The reason for the application was "Recommended by Lu Yichou". Liu Jingting clicked to agree.
The account information shows that the other party is a female gender, and the ID is called "Virtual Knife Flower". The personal signature is seven words: "The little girl who makes up the story."
"Uncle Gu Yongsheng?"
As soon as my friend was successfully established, the other party actively came to chat with him.
Liu Jingting smiled bitterly and replied, "It's still the Majesty, the uncle can be spared."
"Ha, it turns out that he is a weird uncle who likes to pretend to be a little boy."
Liu Jingting didn't want to continue to get involved with this issue and replied: "I heard from Mr. Lu that you want to talk to me about the novel. Is the script already being made?"
"Strange, can't you tell who I am?"
Liu Jingting replied with a question mark.
"The information should be displayed. I am a little girl. Don't the uncles like to tease the little girls?"
Liu Jingting looked at the words in the dialog box speechlessly and returned: "It seems that I was a mistake. I thought it was the screenwriter of Xingyue TV. I should delete me within thirty seconds, otherwise I would face the embarrassing situation of being deleted by me. Good luck."
This time the other party replied very quickly: "I'm sorry, Uncle Gu, I am indeed a screenwriter of Xingyue TV, because my mother told me that there are many bad guys on the Internet now. I just wanted to test you to see if you are a pervert."
Liu Jingting did not reply and waited for the other party to speak.
"The script has begun to be prepared, but there are two questions I have not been able to solve. I want to ask you."
"ask."
"Does that white ape like Ah Qing?"
"kind of."
"I just knew, did Fan Li never like A Qing?"
"yes."
"Then he is really a bastard, thank you for your explanation."
Seeing the other party getting serious, Liu Jingting asked casually: "Where are you going to start? This story is too short after all."
"Uncle, don't you think short stories are easier to change than long stories?"
Liu Jingting had not thought about this issue systematically. Seeing the other party ask this, and after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case.
"This story has a clear historical background, so I'm ready to start with a war."
"What is the Battle of Li?"
"It's the battle of Li. This history is recorded and can be used directly. Yue first defeated Wu and then lost to Wu. King Goujian of Yue became a slave of Wu and had to eat shit in order to survive. Later, Goujian lays on firewood and hides his courage, defeats Wu and kills Fuchai."
It was hard for Liu Jingting to imagine that the person sitting on the other end chatting with him would be a little girl, because it was impossible for any girl to speak like this. Soon, Liu Jingting discovered that the above was not the other party’s limit.
"In addition, I would like to ask the uncle, when Goujian was a slave in Wu Kingdom, would it be more attractive if his wife was raped by Fuchai in person? And Xi Shi, if her bed scene with Fuchai was presented, would it arouse the audience's disgust?"
Liu Jingting was amused and laughed. At the same time, he was basically sure that the other party should be a deeply vulgar otaku screenwriter in his twenties or thirties. Although the questions he raised were all unbearable, they were all elements that allowed TV series to sell well.
"First of all, you are sure that you can pass the review of this kind of modification. In addition, this copyright has been sold to you. I really don't participate in your creation. I won't talk about anything else. What else do you have?"
"There is another question, well - what should Xi Shi be like when he was intimate with Fuchai?"
Liu Jingting was finally a little angry by this vulgar man, and typing hard on the keyboard and returned: "You want to ask, did Xi Shi feel pleasure when he was fucked by Fuchai, right?"
"It's still my good time, that's what I mean."
