In the next few days, Lu Cheng went out after dinner every day and looked around for places to gamble on stones in Shangjing. The gambling on stones in Shangjing was not only Panjiayuan, but also scattered in several places. For example, the Antique City in DX District, Fengtai
The antique market in the district and the Aijia Collection Street in the North Third Ring Road, there are five or six places in total.
Some places are far away,
Lu Cheng went there on the weekend. He also had training in the morning on the weekend, but he was free in the afternoon.
After shopping for many days, he spent more than 20 million yuan and bought 7 stones.
He wanted to leave after staying in the field management center for half a month. After staying for 20 days, he refused to practice any more: "That's enough! I want to go home!"
"What are you doing when you go home?"
"My girlfriend is on vacation,
I have to hang out with her!"
"You're a shabby boy...there are so many athletes across the country.
You are the only one who dares to say such things..."
Lu Cheng's strength was too strong, and he would be the same no matter how hard he practiced. The coaches also knew this, so they let him go.
During this period of time, Zhu Long's performance slowly climbed up, almost more than ten centimeters every day. He was so happy that if he continued like this, he didn't know how far he would improve when the Olympic Games opened.
"Brother Lu, my gratitude to you is like the rushing water of the Yellow River, out of control. I called home and wanted to send you some rice wine first! What is your home address?"
Lu Cheng said: "No, wait until you win the gold medal. After I get home, I will go on a long trip with my girlfriend, and there will be no one at home!"
"Then take care of yourself! The competition is coming soon, don't get hurt."
"I won't get hurt."
Not to mention how strong Lu Cheng’s muscles and bones are,
Even if he had several amulets on him, it would be impossible for him to get hurt.
Lu Cheng took the high-speed train home. The moment he opened the door, he felt that Jiang Qiuyun was even more beautiful standing inside.
Slim and graceful, with picturesque features, bright eyes and white teeth, jade bones and icy skin.
He stretched out his arms and said with a smile: "Long time no see, come and give me a kiss."
Jiang Qiuyun hugged his waist and raised her head. The nephrite was fragrant and her red lips were alluring.
The two hugged each other and kissed for a while before letting go.
"Qiuyun, I smell a fragrance on your body."
"A Cheng, you also have a faint fragrance on your body. I wonder why there is a fragrance?"
"Because I have cut off my hair and washed my marrow. From the inside out, I exude the scent of a cultivator."
"Like Tang Monk meat?"
"Almost."
"Why does my body smell good?"
"Is it the fragrance of virginity?"
"Huh, I'm giving you an advantage." In fact, Jiang Qiuyun is also practicing, and her physique is changing little by little.
Then,
The two discussed their next move.
Lu Cheng asked: "Should we go home and stay for a few days first?
Or go directly to the south?"
Jiang Qiuyun said apologetically: "I can't leave yet, it will take three days.
I wrote the ending of "The Wind About Yellow Plum Rain", revised it again, and submitted it to the publishing house. I chose a new publisher, which received high praise from the industry. The first edition was 100,000 copies, and the royalties were 12%."
"How many online orders are there for this book?"
"So far, we have ordered 130,000 yuan each. Ranked first in Youth. The website has received a letter from 'Huadian Film and Television' and is discussing the signing of a film and television drama."
"By the way, the TV series "Bald Man Under the Lamp" has been filmed?"
"The filming has been completed and is in post-production. It is expected to be broadcast at the end of August or early September. Another thing, you remember, I wrote a novella "Ruan Lang Returns", which was published in Harvest Magazine and received high praise from readers
, there is a film company that wants to sign a contract with me to make it into a movie. At 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, people from the film company will come over."
"Okay, Qiuyun, you are so amazing, you have become a great writer."
"I'm just an online writer, far from a real great writer. Cheng, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
"Sweet and sour carp?"
"Okay, I'll get ready."
"I'll go buy live fish with you."
To be honest, it takes a lot of time to cook by yourself, especially some big dishes, which can take several hours to cook. Therefore, Jiang Qiuyun usually doesn't cook much and only cooks on weekends. This time, the two of them were separated for twenty days.
Missing you is very consuming, and cooking together is a good way to promote feelings.
After eating, Jiang Qiuyun continued to type and modify her article.
Lu Cheng went to the basement and cut the stones he bought in Shangjing.
There were a total of 19 jadeite rough stones. It took him a day and a half to cut 12 pieces, peel off the outer skin, reveal the jade flesh, and cut off the most precious parts to obtain 20 kilograms of glass jadeite; the high ice jadeite has about 150
Kilograms; in addition, the cut off parts also contain waxy ice species, plus stones that are not jadeized.
The stones Lu Cheng selected are all jade, but not every raw stone is full of jade. If 200 kilograms of stones are all jade, wouldn’t it be outrageous? In addition to good jade, there are also large stones that have not been jade.
, there are also waxy species in transition zones.
Among these 12 pieces of jadeite rough, there are 7 pieces of colored material and 5 pieces of five-color material. Among the 7 pieces of color material, there are four green, one blue, and one red jadeite, plus one with spring color.<
/p>
At 9 o'clock in the morning the next day, Lu Cheng put away the most beautiful glass seeds and put the remaining high-ice colored materials in the living room. Then he called Jin Dachang from the auction house and asked him to come to Qingquan Villa.<
/p>
At 10 o'clock, he heard the doorbell ringing. When he opened it, he saw that it was someone from the film company. There were two people coming, a man and a woman. The man was in a suit and leather shoes and was about forty years old. The woman was young and charming, only in her twenties.
.
Lu Cheng invited the other party in and said: "I don't have a servant at home, so there is no tea. I have iced drinks and mineral water."
The man in a suit said politely: "The weather is a bit hot, just some ice water."
The woman said: "I want a bottle of lemonade."
Lu Cheng went to the refrigerator to get a drink and handed it to the other party.
The two parties sat down and Jiang Qiuyun walked out of the bedroom.
The man said: "I am the production director of Tangda Film and Television. My name is Tang Caixing. This is my assistant Zhu Lanqing. After preliminary communication in the past two days, I have reached a contract agreement with Miss Jiang. I came here today to finalize the matter.
, it is best to complete the formal signing."
Jiang Qiuyun introduced Lu Cheng: "This is my boyfriend Lu Cheng."
Lu Cheng shook hands with Tang Caixing and asked, "I don't know much about this matter. Could you please explain the terms of the contract again?"
Tang Caixing said with a smile: "We, Tangda Film and Television, are one of the top ten film and television companies in the country. We ranked sixth last year and are seeking to qualify for listing. We are optimistic about Miss Jiang's work "Ruan Lang Gui" and want to invest 50 million to film it.
The planned copyright fee for this film is 3 million."
Lu Cheng laughed and said: "Three million is too little. How can the copyright fees for film and television dramas in these years be less than 10 million?"
Last night, he communicated with Jiang Qiuyun.
Jiang Qiuyun asked Fanghua's copyright manager to get a rough idea of the current market situation. "Ruan Langgui" she wrote was published physically, so she owns the full copyright. In addition, she also called Zhang Yuehua for advice and got some useful information.<
/p>
Tang Caixing smiled and said: ""The Return of Ruan Lang" is just a novella. We are willing to pay 3 million. This price is already very high. We come here with sincerity."
Lu Cheng said: "To be honest, whether it's 3 million or 8 million, it's just drizzle in my opinion. If you don't believe me, take a look at the jade on the table over there."
Tang Caixing turned around to look, and his eyes were filled with pearls and jewels. He was almost blinded by the glare and couldn't help but take a breath of air.
Zhu Lanqing was also surprised and couldn't help but said: "Miss Jiang, can I take a closer look?"
Jiang Qiuyun smiled and said: "Just look at it. These jade stones were all obtained by chance."
Zhu Lanqing walked over, stretched out his hand and stroked the pieces of jade, with a burning light in his eyes: "Is this true? Why is it so beautiful?"
Lu Cheng looked at Tang Caixing and said: "The authorization fee for the film adaptation represents the net worth of the writer 'Yun Ji'. Qiu Yun is still young, and has already filmed a long series that will be released at the end of August. The second series "Feng Yue"
"Huang Meiyu" is currently negotiating a contract. Her future prospects are limitless! The licensing fee for "Ruan Lang Gui" cannot be too low. If it is too low, it will affect her reputation!"
Tang Caixing frowned slightly, feeling that it was not easy to continue the conversation, and said: "According to my understanding, the amount of copyright money is not important to Miss Jiang. What she should focus on is the quality of the film. We promise to invite the new generation of A-list stars to act.
, invite well-known directors from the Mesozoic era to film, and strive to produce a good work. Do you think my understanding is correct?"
Lu Cheng said: "Writing good novels is the requirement of writers; making good movies is the purpose of film and television companies. Excellent production cannot be an excuse to lower the amount of authorization for adaptation."
The two parties negotiated for half an hour, and finally the signing bonus negotiated was 5 million.
Tang Caixing took out a contract and put it on the table. The amount on it was exactly 5 million, which was already the ceiling of what he could agree to.
Lu Cheng and Jiang Qiuyun each read it carefully, and Jiang Qiuyun signed the contract. Because it was only a novella, the amount was indeed not low.
Tang Caixing and Zhu Lanqing walked out of Qingquan Villa.
Zhu Lanqing whispered: "Mr. Tang, I just saw it clearly. What is on the table is really jade! Any bracelet you polish can be worth millions! It is much more expensive than the signing fee!"
Tang Caixing said: "Do you know who this Mr. Lu Cheng is? He is the double world record holder in the marathon and the 100-meter race! This is simply a miracle of mankind. In front of him, I really don't want to bargain with him! Want to
It’s not that the production cost is limited to 50 million, but it costs 20 million to hire actors, 10 million to shoot, and 10 million to post-production... Money is really tight..."
Zhu Lanqing showed an envious look: "What a divine couple! Have you seen it? The villa they live in is very beautiful."
Tang Caixing smiled bitterly: "Such a villa can still be afforded in Quancheng, but if it were placed in the Magic City where our film and television company is located, it would be terrible. It would only make people disappointed."
The two sighed, waved for a taxi, got in the car and walked away.
