According to the content of the contract, the electronic version of "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" will be exclusively authorized to Sea Lion Reading for publication, and the share will be divided into 50 and 50. If there is a subsequent demand for film and television adaptation, Sea Lion Pictures, a subsidiary of Sea Lion Group, will have priority in adapting the rights.
The content of the contract is still OK. I wasn’t sure about it in my previous life in Hua Kingdom, but the novel world in this life in Xia Kingdom seems to be all about this contract. After Hao Yun took a look at it and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it, he went to the printing room of the library to type out two copies. , signed his name, and then sent it to a nearby express delivery outlet.
He took a picture of the signed contract and the express delivery order and sent it to Qijian. Just when Hao Yun was about to return to the computer room to continue coding, Qijian sent another message.
[By the way, speaking of which, how is your relationship with Liu Ye?]
Hearing this unfamiliar name, Hao Yun couldn't help but frown slightly.
[Liu Ye?]
[That’s Liu Ye, your former editor at Xiake.com. Don’t you know his real name?]
Hao Yun: [He didn’t tell me.]
Qijian: [That’s right, actually... He was the one who recommended me to sign your book in the first place, and he also recommended it to me on WeChat. Seeing that he cares about you so much, I thought you were his real friend or something. If you don't know him, then forget it.]
Hao Yun: [Actually, I only met him recently. What’s wrong?]
Qijian: [Nothing, it’s just that he seems to have fallen into a trough in his career recently. I also asked you to comfort him for me if you are familiar with him.]
Career low period
Hao Yun was slightly stunned.
His intuition told him that this low period might have something to do with him...
[Did he encounter any difficulties?]
Seven Swords: [I encountered some trouble, and speaking of it, it has something to do with you.]
Hao Yun: [Me?]
Seven Swords: [Yes, he never told you the reason why he didn’t recommend you to sign the contract?]
Why is it not recommended to sign a contract
Seeing this sentence, Hao Yun looked confused and typed a reply.
[He never said... Isn't it because of the problem of keeping up with the new speed?]
Seven Swords: [Slow updates? Haha, it doesn't exist. In fact, your book had been put up for signing at that time, but it was suppressed when it came to the editor-in-chief of your group. Although Liu Ye helped you get the chance to sign the contract, Wang Ze also said that there was no problem signing the contract, but he was sorry for the recommendation, so he thought of simply pushing you to me. You can't miss a good book in vain.]
When typing these words, Qin Jian's heart was full of emotion.
At that time, neither Wang Ze nor himself expected that "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" would become so popular. If he had known that it would be so popular, 80% of the time Lao Liu would not have pushed this sacred book to himself.
Hao Yun: [I understand...I'll comfort him later.]
Qin Jian: [Yes, please. I will go over to comfort him now... The position may be a bit awkward. I remember that his hometown is Jiangcheng, so you should have something in common.]
After chatting about the novel, Qin Jian went back to work, and Hao Yun was filled with emotion.
Unexpectedly, the Liuye brother at that time actually refused to sign him out of good intentions
this…
I'm so embarrassed.
…
A villa area in Jiangcheng.
The family is sitting together having a meal.
Looking at his eldest daughter who rarely returned home, the majestic-looking man's face was filled with love.
"Mengmeng, are you tired from studying recently?"
"I'm not tired from studying," Lin Mengmeng complained softly while concentrating on eating, "It's just that I'm too busy with work."
"Work?"
"Well, my agent recently helped me take on another drama... I was already busy enough preparing for the competition, but now I have another job to be busy with. Sometimes I really want to split myself in half. Son."
As he spoke, Lin Mengmeng sighed.
Obviously her only interest is singing, but now she has not become famous in singing, and she has crossed over to make movies.
Although she knew in her heart that this opportunity for the second female lead was very rare, and if she grasped it, it would definitely be of great help to her singing and acting career, but this did not prevent her from feeling tired.
"If you're really too busy, forget it. You're still a student now, and your family doesn't need you to be so anxious to make money." Sitting next to the man, Mother Lin's face was full of worry, and her tone was full of concern as she continued, "Speaking of which, what are the qualifications of the agency you're looking for? You didn't ask your dad to ask for help."
Embarrassed to say that he was dragged away in a daze on the street, Lin Mengmeng said vaguely with a shy expression.
"It's okay. Although the company is not very big, the agent in charge of me is still very responsible and a very nice person."
Father Lin nodded, but instead of asking about the company, he turned to ask about the movie.
"Speaking of which, what movie are you starring in? When will it be released?"
"'Jialan Yu' is a new film that Ye Ye is currently filming. I don't know when it will be released. The crew is still setting up the scene, so I guess it won't be until the end of the year at the earliest."
"Tianyu?" Lin's father touched his chin, with an expression of interest on his face, "That Tianyuan Pictures? I heard at a dinner party some time ago... Their financial situation is not very optimistic, right? Can this movie Will it be released smoothly?"
Lin Mengmeng was stunned for a moment and shook his head in confusion.
"I don't understand this very well, but it should be okay to release it, right?"
"I'm just asking casually. You'd better pay more attention to yourself." Seeing that his daughter had said so, the man didn't ask any more questions. He simply nodded and continued, "In addition, my advice is actually the same as your mother's. , since you are still in school, you should focus on your studies. I won’t object if you play for fun, but if you tire your body out, then the gain outweighs the loss. "
"What do you mean by playing tricks! Even if you are my father, I won't allow you to say that," Lin Mengmeng rolled his eyes at his father and said with a pout, "... As long as you have your own career, I can't do it too. A career?"
"I, that's not what I meant."
Looking at his unhappy daughter with a wry smile, Father Lin wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to speak, so in the end he had to shut his mouth silently.
However, Lin Mengmeng was not angry with his father.
She lives on campus on weekdays, and her parents are either at the company or on the plane. It's rare for a family to sit together and have dinner like this, and she doesn't want to make everyone unhappy because of such a trivial matter.
Besides, she could also understand his father's mood.
"Mengmeng is right! I support her!" Mother Lin rolled her eyes at her husband and scolded him, "You are already old, so stop interfering in the affairs of their young people."
"Yes, yes, I don't talk too much. I just eat and eat." Knowing that his wife was trying to help him, Father Lin smiled awkwardly, closed his mouth and concentrated on eating without talking.
“It’s good to have a career you’re passionate about.”
Looking at her eldest daughter, Mother Lin had a kind smile on her face and her eyes were full of pride.
Among the two daughters, Mengmeng is the most sensible and the one most like her. The younger daughter Jiaojiao is just like her father, especially her bright eyes and fiery temper. She is almost carved from the same mold as her father.
The only difference may be that she has not learned her father's careerism.
Although she has a strong personality, she always gets into trouble with some strange things. Every time there is a parent-teacher meeting, the child's head teacher often complains to her.
Looking at Jiaojiao who had not said a word from beginning to end and was just looking at her devouring food, Mother Lin sighed and said earnestly, "Jiaojiao, you are not young anymore. You are in high school this year. When can you Are you following your sister’s example?”
"Well-"
I originally thought that as long as I ate in silence, I could reduce my presence and avoid being discovered, but unexpectedly my mother still noticed me.
Lin Jiaojiao's expression froze as if she had been shot, and a weak expression appeared on her face for a long time.
"Mom... I'm only sixteen years old. Do you have the heart to let me go out to work?"
The person she is at home and the person she is online are completely different personalities.
Especially in front of her mother, she didn't even dare to speak louder, let alone talking back.
after all…
This concerns her pocket money.
"Sixteen is not too young! And when did I let you work? What I mean is that you should stop staying at home, communicate more with your classmates, and make more useful friends. It's really not possible to learn piano or art. Or whatever, it’s better to have a hobby than to have mold in your house.”
get mouldy!
This is too much!
Lin Jiaojiao felt extremely aggrieved, glanced at her mouth and protested in a low voice.
"I studied painting..."
"What's the name of what you're painting? Is drawing a few paper figures also called painting?" Mother Lin said angrily, "If you really want to learn painting, I'll hire an art teacher for you. Don't spend the whole day Playing games and watching live broadcasts with a tablet in your hands will make you a useless person if you continue playing."
"Woo..."
With tears in her eyes, Lin Jiaojiao almost cried after being told.
Unable to watch it anymore, Lin Mengmeng took his sister's hand, looked at her mother and said.
"Mom, Jiaojiao is still young, so don't talk about her."
As if seeing a savior, Lin Jiaojiao buried her head in her elder sister's arm.
"Aww, sister."
"That's right, what do children know?" Lin's father, who was originally concentrating on eating, also helped. "Besides, being playful is not a bad thing. Just don't get into bad habits. I think it's good."
Seeing Jiaojiao's aggrieved look, Mother Lin couldn't say anything else. She shook her head and sighed.
"whatever."
After meal.
Lin Jiaojiao wanted to sneak back into the room, but her elder sister grabbed her and kept her in the living room.
Pulling his sister to sit on the sofa, Lin Mengmeng couldn't help but complain when he saw her eyes glancing towards his room from time to time.
"It's a rare time for me to come back, and I have to leave again tomorrow, and you won't accompany me. You know how to hide in the house every day. What kind of treasures do you have hidden in your house."
Pouting her lips, Lin Jiaojiao snorted and said in anger.
"Hmph, there are so many treasures."
"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore," Lin Mengmeng looked at his sister seriously and continued, "Jiaojiao, let me ask you, do you really want to learn to draw?"
"It's so so, but I don't want you to teach me, I want to learn it myself."
"Okay, besides painting, do you have any other hobbies?" Lin Mengmeng's face was full of helplessness, "To be honest, I don't want to force you, but I said, if you continue to be like this every day, If you go down, your pocket money will be cut off."
"How, how could this be possible!"
"I can't help it. Anyway, mom just told me to supervise you to learn a skill, whether it's painting or a musical instrument."
"Ooooh, sister~"
"It's useless to act coquettishly with me. She will personally check your study status at the end of the year." Lin Mengmeng poked his sister on the head with his index finger, and continued in a doting tone, "You better stop making mom angry. She is also good for you."
Seeing that acting coquettishly was useless, Lin Jiaojiao pouted, hesitated for a while, and then spoke.
"Then... can I have any hobby?"
"Of course, but don't tell me about playing games, that doesn't count."
"Then, what about... literature?!" After searching for a long time, Lin Jiaojiao's eyes suddenly lit up and she said anxiously and wisely, "I have been studying literature recently!"
"literature?"
"Yes, yes! Literature!"
Staring at his sister with suspicion, Lin Mengmeng said in disbelief.
"What about what you're studying?"
"It's on my phone!" As she said that, Lin Jiaojiao took out her phone and quickly handed it to her sister, "Here, let me show it to you!"
"The Legend of Shushan Swordsman..." After reading the title, Lin Mengmeng looked up at his sister with a speechless expression, "Is this a novel?"
"Xiao, what's wrong with novels? Popular literature, doesn't it count as literature?"
Looking at his sister who was looking serious and quibbling, Lin Mengmeng held his forehead and sighed.
"That's true, but... this can only be regarded as a hobby at best, right? What kind of skill can literary appreciation be..."
"Of course appreciation is for learning! When I learn it, won't I be able to write it myself? Maybe I will become a great writer in the future?"
Lin Mengmeng: "..."
This guy really had one idea every day. She still remembered that just two months ago, this guy swore to her that he would be a cartoonist or an animation director in the future.
After a few nonsensical sophistry, Lin Jiaojiao saw the distrustful look on her elder sister's face, so she quickly changed her strategy, changed the subject, and started to feel comfortable.
"Sister, let me tell you, this book is really beautiful! I strongly recommend you to read it too! But remember to read it when you are not busy. I'm afraid you will be fascinated by it and forget the time. It's too late and you'll have to rely on me again!"
Seeing the enthusiastic expression on his sister's face, Lin Mengmeng hesitated a little. After hesitating for a while, he asked in a low voice.
"real?"
Seeing that the elder sister seemed to be taking the bait, Lin Jiaojiao was secretly happy and nodded repeatedly.
"Yeah! I swear! If it doesn't look good, I'll be a puppy!"
Although the oath this guy swore has never been fulfilled, but thinking that the escape from the temple she recommended before was indeed quite fun, Lin Mengmeng temporarily forgot about urging her to study and nodded doubtfully.
"Okay... I'll look back and take a look."
