Chapter 124: Use means worthy of him
In his previous life, Zhang Mingyang met Xia Xingruo very late.
At that time, she was already a well-known online writer, and many of her works had been adapted into movies or TV series. She was much more powerful than him, a small employee of a big company.
Being with Xia Xingruo is considered a high achievement for him.
Although he didn't know what happened specifically when he sold the copyright of the novel "The Call from the Summer Solstice", he could guess that there were probably a lot of unpleasant things going on.
In the future, although "The Call from the Summer Solstice" will be a very popular novel, the TV series it was adapted from will be a bad one.
Not only was the original work randomly altered, but the actors also had no acting skills.
After getting together with Xia Xingruo, Zhang Mingyang wanted to read every work of Sister Ruoruo so that he could get to know his girlfriend, a great writer.
The novels were all very good, but when he saw this adaptation, he almost couldn't hold on while pinching his nose.
He asked Sister Ruoruo why this happened, and Sister Ruoruo just said softly: "What right does a young author have to say?"
When I asked about anything else, she didn't say anything. She just said that it was all in the past.
This time Zhang Mingyang met Xia Xingruo very early and succeeded very early.
He originally thought that when the time came, he would buy the copyright of "The Summer Solstice Call" as a gift to Sister Ruoruo.
But he didn't expect that the copyright of "The Summer Solstice Call" would be traded so early. If he hadn't made a special call today, he would still be kept in the dark until now.
Hearing that Sister Ruoruo had been wronged in the capital, Zhang Mingyang was very angry, but he was not carried away by his emotions.
He can now rush directly to the capital and buy the copyright, but before that, he still needs help.
Geng Da's face was already filled with joy when he received Zhang Mingyang's call again.
This person who was just Xu Mo's celebrity two months ago was enough for him to take seriously at that time.
Two months later, he transformed into a new capital upstart in Linjiang Circle. Under the leadership of those two, all the big bosses in Linjiang Circle invested in Zhang Mingyang's company.
In Geng Da's view, Zhang Mingyang was still obsessed with Shen Congyi, so he came to see him.
He felt that Shen Congyi was also stupid. He didn't hug such a big and thick leg quickly, and thought about what he would do if he played a supporting role every day.
Since the last promotional video, Shen Congyi has finally regained some of her fame. Many crew members want to take advantage of her popularity and ask her to be a supporting role, and Shen Congyi readily agrees.
Geng Da doesn't understand. As long as you coax Zhang Mingyang well, there won't be any heroines for you in the future?
When he learned that Zhang Mingyan was coming to the company, he forcibly pulled Shen Congyi, who had just finished filming and was resting at home, to greet Zhang Mingyang together.
As Geng Da expected, Zhang Mingyang said as soon as he arrived that he wanted to invest in a TV series.
Geng Da understands this. This is a common trick used by many bosses to pick up actresses.
The investment in TV dramas is small and does not cost much money. If an actress wants to play the leading role, she must first please the investors and pay a certain price. She understands everything.
Le Zhengxing Entertainment currently has several TV series that are about to be launched or have already been launched. It is very simple to arrange Shen Congyi into them.
As a result, before Geng Da could recommend a TV series to Zhang Mingyang, he took the initiative to say that he already had a good script.
Zhang Mingyang's meaning is very simple. He will invest 100% in this TV series. Lezhengxing Entertainment is only responsible for finding actors and filming.
A good investment contract suddenly turned into an entrustment contract, and Mr. Zhang still acted so unconventionally.
The sudden change made Gengda unable to react.
But thinking about Zhang Mingyang opposite him, as long as Shen Congyi can sleep with him, he won't be able to attract any investment in the future.
Better days are yet to come.
"No problem, Mr. Zhang, bring me the script and I'll find someone to start shooting right away. I can sign a contract and the copyright will belong to you. We only charge labor fees."
Gengda made the biggest concession.
"Very good, find me someone from your copyright department and we'll set off immediately."
"ah?"
Geng Da was stunned by Zhang Mingyang again. He hasn't obtained the co-authorship copyright yet. Besides, aren't you here to see Shen Congyi?
Lezhengxing Entertainment has its own copyright department. Whether it is making movies or TV series, there are many copyright issues that need to be dealt with.
Although he was a little confused, Geng Da did not dare to neglect and immediately called the department boss over.
He thought that Zhang Mingyang's success at such a young age was probably due to his strong power of action.
He probably just read the script in the morning, found them immediately in the morning, and set out to buy the rights in the afternoon.
As a person who has been deeply involved in the entertainment industry for many years, Geng Da still couldn't help but laugh. If it were so easy to make money by filming TV series, everyone would have made it already. Why would they engage in pimping business?
But this is not something he needs to care about. The contract he signed is an entrustment contract anyway. He only needs to play with the young master and make him happy.
Anyway, he has been doing similar things for so many years and is very good at it.
In good conscience, he should persuade Zhang Mingyang, but he has no conscience. He is just a businessman and he just wants to make money.
Although he was disdainful in his heart, Gengda didn't show it at all on the surface and still arranged the most professional team for Zhang Mingyang.
After finding professionals, Zhang Mingyang immediately booked plane tickets for everyone and flew directly to Beijing in the afternoon.
According to his idea, he bought the copyright of "The Call from the Summer Solstice" and filmed it himself, so that he would not be afraid of others making magical changes to the script.
...
On the plane, Zhang Mingyang looked at Shen Congyi sitting next to him and joked: "When did you transfer to the copyright department of the company? Is it because you can't act anymore?"
Shen Congyi was also speechless, but there was no other way, Geng Da must let her follow.
He also told her that since Zhang Mingyang wants to make a TV series, you should try to win the heroine. This may be your chance to make a comeback.
"The moment you stepped into the door of the company, I automatically transferred to the copyright department." Shen Congyi did not deliberately flatter, but also responded with humorous remarks.
After listening to Shen Congyi's answer, Zhang Mingyang continued to joke: "Miss Shen is really amazing."
"Don't dare to take it, don't dare to take it."
There were four people traveling with Zhang Mingyang on the plane, namely Shen Congyi, Shen Congyi's agent, and two people from the copyright department.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Of course he knew Geng Da's "good intentions", but he also had another consideration in bringing Shen Congyi with him.
Sister Ruoruo had always liked Shen Congyi in her previous life and said it would be great if she could be allowed to film a novel I wrote.
Now, while she is not popular yet, she can fulfill Sister Ruoruo's dream.
But that was Sister Ruoruo's idea in the previous life. Sister Ruoruo may not like Shen Congyi now.
Since we have already planned to make a TV series, we just brought Shen Congyi over to show Sister Ruoruo.
Before the plane took off, Zhang Mingyang sent the flight number and arrival time to Xia Xingruo. Regardless of Sister Ruoruo's pushback, he just told Xia Xingruo to pick me up at the airport and turned off the phone.
It took about two hours to get from Linjiang to the capital. Due to the hurry, Zhang Mingyang didn't even bring his luggage.
Someone once suggested that before going out, you only need to check four things, namely your ID card, mobile phone, keys, and wallet.
The summary mantra is "reach out and ask for money".
In another ten years, this formula will be eliminated and everyone will only need to take one thing with them when going out, and that is a mobile phone.
Before Zhang Mingyang got on the plane, he only checked these four things, took them with him and set off.
Everything else you need can be bought locally.
If you're lucky, you can arrive today, solve it tomorrow, and go back to school the day after tomorrow.
If you are unlucky, you may have to stay for a few days.
Others seem to be accustomed to business trips, and when they arrive at the company, they already have suitcases in their hands.
The plane took off and after a brief turbulence, it gradually stabilized. Zhang Mingyang leaned on the back of his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
He bought a business ticket, and the stewardess had thoughtfully closed the small window and closed the curtain for them.
In the darkness, Shen Congyi silently observed Zhang Mingyang beside him.
She had only recently heard from Geng Da that his company had received a large amount of investment, which may have exceeded tens of millions.
Gengda asked her if they still had contact.
Shen Congyi shook his head. The two of them had not had any contact since the last time they sent the original promotional video.
They were not parallel lines, but intersecting lines, but after intersecting only once, they drifted apart and never met again.
The young man's profile is thin, and there is a hint of fatigue between his brows.
From the day she met Zhang Mingyang, she found that he never stopped for a moment.
Shen Congyi really wanted to ask him, are you tired?
Geng Da is not optimistic about this project and thinks that Zhang Mingyang must have lost his mind before he thought of investing in a TV series.
But Shen Congyi didn't think so. She didn't know where the trust came from. She believed that Zhang Mingyang would succeed.
Just like Geng Da said, give it a try.
