Imperial capital.
Lu Jing got up early in the morning and put on makeup in front of the mirror. As soon as she put on the foundation, she couldn't help but turn around and ask her son happily:
"Tell me, have I become fairer recently? My skin seems to be smoother too. This foundation has never been so smooth on my face before... This new skincare product seems to be pretty good!"
Lu Chuan was inserting the cut flowers into the vase one by one, trimming them a few times, and subconsciously touched his face when he heard the words...
Really good skin.
He thought about his diet during this period, his lips moved, and finally he just smiled: "Then when you run out of them, buy another set. Skin care products are one thing, and diet coordination is another."
That’s true!
Lu Jing thought to herself: Ever since her son was discharged from the hospital, she has been eating better and better. Now the rice, honey, tea, pickles, etc. in her home are all bought from Song Tan.
Oh, this girl sends things every time. Lu Jing feels bad about it and has placed many orders.
And his son, afraid that people would know that he didn’t accept money, simply opened a sham account and sent all the stuff to her…
I have been eating so well these past few months!
At this time, Lu Chuan asked her: "It's almost nine o'clock, aren't you leaving yet?"
Lu Jing cried out "Ouch!" and quickly packed her clothes and looked for her car keys. She had to attend a dinner party with the dance team today!
Just like the last time when Wang Jie was pursued by someone while she was a nanny, she didn’t end up with the 60-year-old man. But it wasn’t because she was sober, but because a 40-year-old health product salesman pursued her…
In short, a 40-year-old young man (for Sister Wang) is compared to a 60-year-old old man with a family, and Sister Wang is not stupid!
She shyly took people to the old man and then planned to invite all the sisters, saying that her boyfriend wanted to treat the sisters to a meal and get to know each other...
Lu Jing didn't really want to go.
Her reason was simple: "If Sister Wang has a fight in her relationship and comes to me again, I can't stand it!"
A sixty-year-old man is not a good match, and a forty-year-old man is not necessarily the same!
But all the members of the same team went... Okay, go ahead! Sister Wang was very attentive when she taught her to dance.
After putting on her makeup, she found a skirt and happily pulled out Lu Chuan's camera:
"Achuan, please use the camera for two days! After dinner today, we are going to the forest park to take pictures. I have recently learned a little bit about Meitu Xiu Xiu, so I can use these photos to practice!"
As soon as she left, the courier knocked on the door, sweating profusely. When he saw Lu Chuan, his eyes were particularly resentful:
"Mr. Lu, I see this boss sent this stuff again... Do you have a WeChat account you can send me? He has nothing left in his shop now! Only the straw mats are left! Are these things you bought sold separately through WeChat?"
Poor wife, she only started eating it for a short time, and now she can’t even buy a bottle of pickles.
Lu Chuan laughed, but could only apologize: "No, these are not for sale. We are... friends, so we can receive them."
The courier left in a huff. Lu Chuan thought about the items that had been taken off the shelves and breathed a sigh of relief.
He still remembered the cheap, ordinary canvas bag he had used to save the man, the clothes that had been washed so many times that the threads on the corners were a little worn out, and the heavy old computer that had a corner sticking out of the man’s bag…
All of them illustrate the other party's financial constraints.
And now…
You should have made money, right
Somehow, he also felt slightly happy.
After opening the box and seeing the carefully dried fish and shrimps and smelling the fresh fragrance that filled the room, Lu Chuan pondered for a while and simply went into the storage room and took out another box of white wine.
No matter what, just return the gift first. By the way, send a message to the other party, there is really no need to send it. I have sent a lot in the past few months. If I really calculate it by price, it must be more than 100,000!
Who knew that just after I finished packing and asked the courier to stop by, I received a call from the editor Yunfeng—
"The film and television rights for your book, Asking the Immortal, have been negotiated, and the price the website wants is 38 million... I know this is not high compared to other books, after all, yours is considered a top-tier IP."
"But the film and television company is the Arctic Circle! The Arctic Circle that produces every film is a masterpiece!"
Speaking of this, Yunfeng was really excited - when the copyright department saw that this was Arctic Circle Films, they screamed and called their superiors!
In short, try your best!
Fortunately, the deal was finally made!
"They said that this IP will be directed by Zhang Tong - you know Zhang Tong, right? He used to shoot martial arts films, such as "Purple and Green Swords" and "Frontier"... They are so grand!"
If his authors achieve good results, Yunfeng will also be able to get a large bonus. At this moment, he became more and more excited and talked incessantly.
This isn’t the first film and television IP that Lu Chuan has sold, but many people bought it for the IP but don’t have the ability to start filming, or they just bought it because it’s a rare commodity... so they’re still holding on to it.
Yunfeng sometimes couldn’t help but worry, wondering if these companies would wait until the deadline was almost up before rushing into filming
By then, the drama will be changed into a bad one, which will ruin the reputation of the audience...
But now, Arctic Circle Films has promised that the project will be approved this year and will definitely start filming next year!
Therefore, the company even took the initiative to make concessions in terms of price.
Lu Chuan also breathed a sigh of relief - he was no longer short of money now, and even if he didn't lose his fame, he didn't want to be scolded for nothing, right
He has written so many novels, and although he does not treat each of his works as his own, he would feel depressed if his hard work was ruined by a magical adaptation...even if it means making money.
Now he has a reliable one that can start up quickly, and he is very happy.
So I took the initiative to invite him: "Would you like to have tea? Come to my house, we have delicious food today."
By the way, we discussed the details and signed a contract. The newly arrived fish and shrimp would be just enough to entertain Yunfeng.
"Oh, don't mention tea!"
Yunfeng's head suddenly tightened.
The tea that Lu Chuan introduced was so delicious and so expensive. Ever since he gave it to his father-in-law and mother-in-law during the Dragon Boat Festival, they have been praising it to everyone they meet and showing off to everyone who comes... A pound of tea did not even last for two months!
If Lu Chuan hadn't sent another two kilograms later and both sets of parents had sent some, his wallet would have been bleeding.
After all, it's 10,000 per pound. He's just an editor. Even if he gets a bonus, doesn't he still have to pay for a house? A house is more important than anything else!
At this moment, Lu Chuan's copyright has been sold, and the contract has been finalized, only the author's signature is needed. Thinking of this, the tense veins on his forehead relaxed again, and he was full of pride:
"Okay! I'm telling you, I'm going to take half a pound of tea from you today!"
"Okay."
Lu Chuan raised his eyebrows, and the turned-off computer screen on the table reflected his handsome face and the smiling corners of his lips.
Until Yunfeng asked again: "But the person in charge over there let me know that the scenes in our male-oriented book are too large and some parts are difficult to adapt... I want to ask you, the original author, if you are interested in meeting the team? It will also be convenient for you to communicate with the screenwriter."
