"Boss, you can send the list of works to them yourself. I'm going to the company in the afternoon. Teacher Zhao recommended a new author. I'll go and have a chat." Chen Qing said.
Zhang Zhong was a little surprised, "Zhao Re recommends a new author? What's his name?"
"I've never heard of his name being Qin Zhao."
Zhang Zhong searched in his mind and had no impression of this name.
Chen Qing added, "Teacher Zhao said that he came all the way, but he didn't say where he came from. I asked him if he was a boy or a girl, how old he was, and if he had any works. Teacher Zhao didn't tell me. He was mysterious.
It's secret. I wonder why this matter should be kept secret. Is this Qin Zhao still some kind of extraordinary person?"
Zhang Chong smiled and said, "Since it was recommended by Zhao Re, there shouldn't be any big problems. But it's only the first day of the new year. You're not at home with your family, so you're back to work? I don't have overtime pay for you.
"
"There's no point in staying at home. It's better to go back to work. Besides, Teacher Zhao said that Qin Zhao will only be here for a few days, so why don't I hurry up? Speaking of which, I am also a writer's agent, but the company has not been here until now.
Apart from you, the boss, there is only one writer, Teacher Zhao, which is too few. I don’t want to strengthen our company’s team.” Chen Qing said with a smile.
"Okay, you have put this burden on your own shoulders. Don't blame me, the boss, for squeezing your labor force. After you read Qin Zhao, remember to tell me. I am also a little interested."
"If you want to know, just call Teacher Zhao and ask."
"You told me the same thing. Zhao Re is so mysterious that he may not tell me. By the way, has Nanhuai TV approached you before?" Zhang Zhong thought of his meeting with Tong Guan in a few days.
, asked casually.
"Nanhuai Satellite TV?" Chen Qing thought for a while and said, "It seems that they contacted me. I remember it seemed to be for the film and television adaptation rights of "The Ordinary World", but at that time you said that the film and television adaptation rights of these works were temporarily
We don’t consider selling it to external parties. You also know that there are so many individuals and units asking about the adaptation rights every day, and Nanhuai TV is nothing special, so I can’t report it to you specifically.”
Zhang Zhong nodded and said, "Well, I know this, I'm just asking."
"Boss, can I ask you, why do you suddenly ask this?" Chen Qing asked curiously.
Zhang Zhong gave an overview of the situation, and Chen Qing laughed and said, "Seeing that the company route didn't work, Director Tong found his own way. I guess nine times out of ten, it was for the film "The Ordinary World"
Regarding the adaptation, boss, what do you think? Will you give them the film and television adaptation rights?"
"I can't tell, it depends on the situation. Okay, let's not talk anymore, I'm getting ready to take a shower."
"Oh? Boss, where do you think you have to take a bath on the first day of the Lunar New Year?"
"What are you thinking about? I'm just sweating a little."
…
Time passed by and it was the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
Pengpeng and her parents were visiting relatives, but Zhang Zhong didn't go with him because he had to keep an appointment.
When he went to Hongyunlai at noon, he met Lin Ruoshui again by "coincidence".
Zhang Zhong looked at Lin Ruoshui, who had become a little thinner, with a smile, "Mr. Lin has become more energetic recently."
"No, no, my body is useless, so I just move around in the gym and get out."
Hehe, it's quite cool.
"It seems like your gym is pretty good. I'm going to check it out when I have time."
Lin Ruoshui flattered her and said, "Teacher Zhang has a figure like a model. If he wants to go to our gym, he will come to give guidance and teach us fitness instructors experience."
"Isn't Mr. Lin very busy recently? I see you every time I come here."
"This is fate. I haven't been here for a long time. I came here today to deal with some things at the hotel. Unexpectedly, I ran into Teacher Zhang. Teacher Zhang wants to meet guests? If you have time, can I treat you to a meal?
"
"That's not necessary, I made an appointment with a friend."
"Okay, then I won't delay you."
Zhang Zhong looked at Lin Ruoshui's back and thought to himself that this fat man was very good at telling lies.
He must have known about the call he made to reserve a private room at that time, and he probably came here specifically to guard her.
When they arrived at the box, Tong Can and Tong Guan were both there. The father and son were chatting. When they saw Zhang Zhong entering, they stood up together.
"You're welcome." Zhang Zhong walked over and shook Tong Guan's hand, "I'm sorry, Director Tong, I'm late."
"No, no, it's because we came early." Tong Guan held Zhang Zhong's hand without letting go, with a smile on his face, "Teacher Zhang, I have admired you for a long time."
"Director Tong, there's no need to be polite. I'm the host today, so let's just sit down."
"How can this be done? It's me who made the appointment with you. How can we let you spend money? No matter what, I should be the one doing this meal."
"I'm familiar with this place, and Xiao Can and I are good friends. Logically speaking, you are my elder, so it's natural for me to be the host. Let's sit down and don't waste time. I heard from Xiao Can, what kind of cooperation do you have?
Do you want to talk to me too?" After Zhang Zhong asked Tong Guan to sit down, he got straight to the point.
Tong Guan still wanted to say a few words, but he didn't expect Zhang Zhong to get into the rhythm so quickly. But since Zhang Zhong spoke first, it saved him a lot of trouble.
"Mr. Zhang, it's like this. Our TV station wants to co-produce a TV series with Lin Ying. Regarding the script of this TV series, we both sat down and discussed it. As a result, both sides have surprisingly consistent opinions, and they both like your new book.
"The Ordinary World". The TV station has also contacted your company before, but was rejected. However, we really don't want to miss this good opportunity that is beneficial to all three parties, so I asked Xiaocan to contact you. I hope to see you again.
Let’s have a good chat about this matter and see if there is any possibility of cooperation.”
After Tong Guan finished speaking, he stared at Zhang Zhong, wanting to see Zhang Zhong's reaction, but to his disappointment, Zhang Zhong was always smiling and his expression did not change at all.
Zhang Zhong actually didn't quite believe Tong Guan's statement that they and Lin Ying fell in love with "The Ordinary World" by chance. Either they were planning to collaborate, but Lin Ying expressed his desire to make this book, or Nan Huai
Satellite TV wanted to increase its bargaining chip and went to find Lin Ying.
The latter is more likely.
But this is not the crux of the matter. The crux of the matter is that now that there is one more Lin Ying, Nanhuai TV has more chips. After all, everyone in the industry knows that Lin Ying's productions must be high-quality.
Lin Ying wanted to make "The Snowman" before. If it weren't for the style of "The Snowman", I'm afraid the matter would have been settled long ago.
Unexpectedly, after going round and round, he and Lin Ying reached the negotiating table for the film and television adaptation of "The Ordinary World".
