Qiuhuo's power was so great that Tian Shao felt sticky and uncomfortable even if he sat still. Relatively speaking, she was okay. For someone like Pang Hui who was afraid of heat, her face was covered with sweat.
While Pang Hui was fanning himself with a cattail leaf fan, he muttered: "I heard that electric fans are installed in the offices of the machinery factory and the transportation company. When do you think our factory can install electric fans?"
It's so hot that he goes to the river to take a bath every day after get off work.
Meng Yang joked: "Who knows when the electric fan will be installed in the factory? We might as well pool the money to buy one ourselves."
After the two sets of fund-raising houses were built in the factory, the generation in front of Director Liang was removed. After he officially became the director of the factory, there was no new official to take office, and he continued to follow the same steps as before. But this is normal, and it is still
Without reform and opening up, it is enough to ensure the stability of factories and normal production. If you do too much else, you will get into trouble.
Pang Hui thought this proposal was a good one: "Accountant Tian, Accountant Ding, and Accountant An, let's raise money to buy two electric fans! In this case, it won't have to be so hot."
Ding Shaoqiu shook his head and said, "No, it's going to get colder soon. Just wait a while and you'll be fine."
His wife has no job and has two children. In addition, he has to take care of his two younger brothers who are studying. On weekdays, he would like to break a penny in half and spend it, but he is not willing to raise money to buy an electric fan.
Pang Hui looked at Tian Shao: "Accountant Tian, what do you say?"
Tian Shao answered him in three words: "I'm not hot."
It was a shame for him to raise money to buy an electric fan. Buying this fan would not only slap the leader in the face, but also make other departments feel that they are rich. After being stolen, Tian Shao knew that it was still safe to keep a low profile here.
.
Pang Hui was a little disappointed.
At this time, the eldest sister in the office came over and said: "Accountant Tian, I have your phone number, and it says it's from the provincial capital newspaper office. Go pick it up quickly, the phone hasn't been hung up yet."
When Tian Shao didn't hang up the phone, he ran over.
Picking up the phone and hearing Gu Hongxue's voice, Tian Shao asked, "Teacher Gu, what's the matter?"
"Little Hero A Yong" was finished in May. She went to the provincial capital to collect the royalties half a month ago. Because there are similar books, sales have dropped sharply in the past few months, from 500 to 600 a month during the peak period to 700 a month.
80. However, the income from this book exceeded Tian Shao's expectations, and she was very satisfied with such results.
Gu Hongxue said excitedly: "Tian Shao, Sijiucheng Studio is interested in your novel and wants to make it into a movie. Tian Shao, you come to the provincial capital tomorrow and we will talk to them together."
What we were talking about was, of course, the price. In fact, according to the idea of Pang, the publishing house’s president, it doesn’t matter if the studio leader likes it and gives it away for free. After all, it is his political achievement to make this book into a movie. But if the contract is signed on the same day, they will only give priority to publishing it.
rights, other copyrights are still in the hands of Tian Shao himself.
Tian Shao was also surprised. She didn't expect to be noticed by the leadership of the studio. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come tomorrow."
Putting down the phone, the eldest sister asked: "Tian Shao, what's so important that you have to rush there tomorrow?"
Tian Shao will not tell anyone about this matter before it is decided, otherwise he will be laughed at by those people if he fails: "There is a small problem with my book, and I have to solve it myself. Sister Huang, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Sister Huang smiled and said: "What's the trouble? Just hurry up and get to work!"
They all called the office, and it was obvious that the problem was serious, but they just didn’t know what it was.
Tian Shao went back to the office and went to find He Guoqing. The reason was the same as what he just said: "They want me to go there tomorrow. Section Chief, I'm asking for two days off."
He Guoqing immediately agreed upon hearing this.
Li Aihua knew that Tian Shao was going to the provincial capital, so he went home at night and told Zhao Kang about it: "Xiao Shao said there was something wrong with the book, but the book is finished. What can go wrong? I think it should be something else.
.”
Zhao Kang said helplessly: "The publishing house is a formal unit, how can we still tie her up? Don't worry about it."
Li Aihua said angrily: "What do you know? I'm not afraid that if there is something in the book that violates taboos, will Tian Shao be detained again? Last time, I was scared out of my mind. This time she went to me alone.
Don't worry."
Once she was bitten by a snake, she had been afraid of ropes for ten years. That incident cast a huge shadow on her.
Since she got pregnant, she not only likes to worry but also likes to think wildly. However, after a few months, Zhao Kang has also gained experience: "If you are worried, we will go there tomorrow morning and ask Tian Shao to accompany his cousin."
Li Aihua thought this was a good idea, but Tian Shao had already left by the time he rushed there the next day.
Tian Shao caught the early train and the journey went smoothly, so she rushed to the publishing house at four o'clock in the afternoon. When she got there, she found out that people from the studio were waiting for her. It turned out that this time, she was determined to get the book.
Gu Hongxue said: "Xiao Shao, the other party is very sincere and is willing to pay 1,200 yuan to buy the copyright of "Little Hero A Yong". Xiao Shao, the money is not much, but as long as it can be made into a movie, it can give
You bring many benefits."
Tian Shao naturally understands that adapting a novel into a movie will not only increase her fame, but also be a bright spot on her resume. After all, those who adapted novels into movies are all famous people, and she has the confidence to go out with this resume.
Tian Shao smiled and said: "Teacher, don't worry, we will talk about it after we meet in person."
Two people from the studio are in the guest house now. When they arrived, only one person was there. This man looked about forty, had a shaved head, wore gray short-sleeves, and looked very serious.
Yu Zhou had known that the author of "Little Hero A Yong" was very young, but he was still surprised when he saw Tian Shao. This girl is not only young, but also very beautiful. She really combines talent and beauty.
After the introduction, Yu Zhou said directly: "Comrade Tian, I really like your book "Little Hero A Yong". This book is lively and interesting. If it is adapted into a movie, I believe more people will like it."
Tian Shao said it was an honor for her to be chosen by the studio, and then asked about the price.
"One thousand and two."
Tian Shao didn't speak, just lost in thought.
When Yu Zhou saw her, he thought she was not satisfied with the price. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Comrade Tian, I'll give you another three hundred."
Seeing that Tian Shao still didn't speak, Yu Zhou said: "Comrade Tian, one thousand and five dollars is the highest price set by the leader. I can't make any decision if it exceeds this price. I can only go back and report to the leader first, and then we can discuss it with the leader's consent."
Tian Shao knew that there are now eight studios in the country, all of which are state-owned. Sijiucheng paid a royalties fee of one thousand and two thousand, and she would not negotiate with the other studios if she did not sell. Therefore, this price was not negotiable.
There was room for improvement. However, she was not prepared to make a counteroffer in the first place. If she negotiated for a few hundred more dollars, it would be meaningless. She was thinking about something else.
When Gu Hongxue saw that Tian Shao was silent, he was afraid that she would refuse, so he stood up and said to Yu Zhou: "Director Yu, I will take Xiao Tian out to talk."
Yu Zhou understood that Gu Hongxue was preparing to persuade Tian Shao, so he smiled and nodded: "Okay."
