Chapter 288: Big Fudge
Xu Ke stood on the stage and saw this scene. His heart was completely immersed in the touch of the stage. This is Nie Xiaoqian in my heart. Hehuanzi, Hehuanzi, you didn’t give me the killer move!
After Zhang Hehuan sang a song, the entire studio was applauding thunderously. The fans of the party were boiling, the fans of the family were boiling, the fans of the peaceful otaku were boiling, and all the fans were boiling.
A chubby fan shouted: "It's great! I'll book the venue for "A Chinese Ghost Story".
"We have a party booked!"
"Family family will be booked!"
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely ignited. Xu Ke was not infected by the fanatical atmosphere around him. His eyes were still chasing An Ran's figure, and he felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart. It was not that Wen Yongshi was not good. Before An Ran appeared, Xu Ke also thought Wen Yongshi was a good candidate for Nie Xiaoqian, but when he saw An Ran's performance and then watching Wen Yongshi's performance, he was more than just one step away.
Xu Ke has always been striving for excellence in art. If he hadn't liked Zhang Hehuan's scripts, he wouldn't have signed an agreement with him in advance. Now he feels like he's cheated by Zhang Hehuan.
After the fan meeting, Xu Ke found Zhang Hehuan: "Hehuan, you are not kind."
Zhang Hehuan guessed that he was because of An Ran's incident and said with a smile: "Director Xu, you really can't rely on me for this matter. An Ran was still a long appointment with Xinhua at that time. I don't count her affairs. Moreover, Wen Yongshi is an artist in my company, so of course I have to support myself."
Xu Ke said: "Don't you think Anran is more suitable for Nie Xiaoqian's role?"
Zhang Hehuan nodded.
"I know you've recommended Wen Yongshi to me?" Old Monster Xu was a little angry.
Zhang Hehuan said: "Director Xu, I have so many good books. We have a total of three plots of Ghost Story in the Age of Age."
"Don't fool me. If the first one doesn't start, it will be a waste of time."
Zhang Hehuan complimented: "Director Xu is a perfect example, you have never had a single work on hand."
Mr. Xu was ashamed, who had never failed? Not to mention anything else, his parents didn't recognize the seven swords he had carefully made. He wanted to make a trilogy, but after the first part, it became a shock, which seriously damaged Mr. Xu's confidence. Because of this, he is very cautious in choosing the subject matter. Di Renjie had fought a beautiful turnaround before.
The most important project at hand is the main theme "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy". Xu Ke is full of confidence in this film, but although films with this theme gain both fame and fortune, they are not what he wants most. He still likes the bizarre fantasy world.
Xu Ke glanced at Zhang Hehuan. Before this guy could take off his makeup, he was wearing Ning Caichen's clothes. Suddenly he felt that his appearance was good. Xu Ke said: "What do you say about Shanghai? What do you say about the The Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy?"
Zhang Hehuan said: "Director Xu, I think I have a special relationship with you. Why don't we go back to my studio and chat while drinking."
Xu Ke has been thrust into the appetite by this kid. If he didn't figure it out from him today, he wouldn't leave easily.
Li Shanshan came to Zhang Hehuan and smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, should we implement the publishing contract?"
Zhang Hehuan smiled and said, "It's easy to say!" He asked Qi Hui to help him receive it and took off his makeup first.
When I arrived at the dressing room, I met An Ran who had just taken off his makeup. An Ran smiled and greeted: "Hello, Mr. Ning!"
Zhang Hehuan laughed and said, "Young Master is polite, how dare you ask the lady for her name?"
The two of them looked at each other, and the ambiguous feelings were about to break out. An Ran quickly avoided his eyes: "I'll leave first, Director Zhang asked me to go to the capital tomorrow to participate in a publicity event, the high-speed rail in the afternoon."
Zhang Hehuan remembered that she had just arrived from Shanghai and was about to go to Beijing again. She rushed so hard in such a short time, all for herself. How could the little girl's deep affection for herself not move him? July was also heartfelt to herself. They were all in love with herself. If she abandoned any of them, what's the difference between her and beasts? Men must be responsible. Who would go to hell if I don't go to hell?
Zhang Hehuan reached out and grabbed An Ran's arm. Because of the touching, An Ran said softly: "Don't, someone..." His pretty face turned red in an instant, and it seemed as if no one could let him do whatever he wanted.
Zhang Hehuan said: "Be careful on the road."
An Ran nodded, her heart soft and she really wanted to pounce on his arms. She realized that she would probably not be able to break free from the love network he woven.
Zhang Hehuan called Yuan Mei before taking off his makeup. Today he prepared a table of meals in the studio and specially asked Yuan Mei to arrange a chef for him. Yuan Mei has now started preparing in the studio, so he just kept worrying that today is the best chef and the best ingredients will definitely satisfy the customers.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Hehuan called Sun Shuli again and invited Sun Tai to visit his studio. Originally, Sun Shuli was not within his consideration, mainly because Sun Shuli wanted to avoid suspicion, but since Sun Shuli had come to his fan club today, it would be okay to have a meal.
Moreover, Sun Shuli obviously had the intention of getting along with Xu Ke, so he had to create this opportunity for him.
Sun Shuli agreed without hesitation and asked Qi Hui to arrange two businessmen in the station to send the guests.
Although Sun Shuli is Zhang Hehuan's leader, he has never been to Zhang Hehuan's New Star Domain Studio. Because of the previous reporting incident, Zhang Hehuan and New Star Domain drew a clear line in name, but he is still the actual controller.
At noon, the ones who went to the studio with him were Director Sun Shuli, Director Xu Ke, Li Shanshan from the publishing house, Bai Ying, the popular anchor of Pingjiang Satellite TV, and Luo Peihong, director of the TV Drama Production Center of Nanjiang TV Station.
Yuan Mei arranged a full set of services in the studio's canteen, and even the waiters were brought from the hotel.
Xu Ke couldn't help but exclaim: "Hehuanzi, you really have the heart."
Zhang Hehuan laughed and said, "Everyone is my VIP. It's not easy to invite one of them. Now I've invited them all. Xinxingyuan Studio is full of glory."
Sun Shuli said: "The environment is good. I remember Pan Kai helped you choose this place?"
Zhang Hehuan nodded: "It's very cheap, but it's very good. Pan Tai is also my noble person."
While talking, Pan Kai happened to call. First, congratulate Zhang Hehuan on the successful meeting of the fan meeting, and then asked if there was something to talk to him in person. Zhang Hehuan told him that he was currently entertaining guests for dinner in the studio. Pan Kai didn't want to bother him, but Sun Shuli learned that he was asking him to come over. Anyway, the luncheon would have to be held for more than half an hour, so everyone would drink tea and wait for him.
Li Shanshan and Zhang Hehuan hung up the phone and were busy talking to him about the new book contract.
Zhang Hehuan knew that Li Shanshan should have initially appreciated her strength after today's fan meeting, otherwise she would not have been so arrogant about her contract. After all, Li Shanshan was young and would be calm like Old Monster Xu.
Li Shanshan said: "Mr. Zhang, have you been considering the contract maturely?"
Zhang Hehuan laughed and said, "I don't have anything to consider. It's mainly you. Have you agreed to my previous conditions?"
Li Shanshan said: "You see, this is OK. The first print of 30,000 copies is 10%, the excess is settled at 12%, and the sales of more than 100,000 copies are 15%.
Zhang Hehuan said: "You're still giving me a discount. Miss Li, although you are the editor-in-chief, you are still working for Times Fengyun Publishing House. Putting aside business, our relationship should be closer, do you think?"
Li Shanshan looked at Bai Ying not far away. Bai Ying was drinking tea and chatting with Luo Peihong, so the other party did not get involved in their business. Li Shanshan smiled and said, "Of course, first be friends and then talk about business."
Zhang Hehuan said: "Ms. Li plans to cooperate with me for a long time or a one-time deal?"
The more time Li Shanshan and Zhang Hehuan were in contact, the more they discovered this guy's cunning. They thought Zhang Hehuan knew nothing about publishing, but when they actually talked about business, they found that they could not take advantage of him at all.
Li Shanshan said: "Of course it is for the purpose of long-term cooperation."
Zhang Hehuan said: "I won't hide it from you. I am the real helm of the New Star Domain. I will build New Star Domain into a comprehensive international cultural and entertainment company in the future. I will do it together sooner or later even if I publish it. Otherwise, you can do it with me."
"What?"
Li Shanshan was completely confused. Didn’t she talk about a book contract? Why did this guy start to poach? He could really brag about it. It is a comprehensive international cultural and entertainment company. Although the decoration is good, there is no way to tell what it has to do with the international community. This little temple is eager to invite a Bodhisattva in it, and does not consider whether he can hold it.
Zhang Hehuan laughed and said, "Don't be busy with replying. First, train in the times for a few years, learn some experience, and help me supervise their work well, so as to prevent them from falsely reporting on the number of prints."
Li Shanshan was really amused and crying. He really didn't regard himself as an outsider. He reminded Zhang Hehuan with friendly advice: "Mr. Zhang, I am talking to you about the contract on behalf of Times Fengyun Publishing House."
Zhang Hehuan nodded: "I know, let's not talk about business when we have dinner, let's exchange feelings first."
Li Shanshan was speechless. At this time, Pan Kai came. Zhang Hehuan went out to greet him. Li Shanshan came to Bai Ying and said with a bitter face: "Sister Ying, who is this Zhang Hehuan? Why is it so difficult to deal with?"
Bai Ying smiled and said, "Okay, why do you want to deal with others?"
"Sister Ying, it's not about targeting him. I will discuss the contract with him on behalf of the publisher. Of course, I have to protect the interests of the publisher. I can't just say whatever he says?"
Bai Ying said: "I still have some understanding of Zhang Hehuan. This person is really the same, so as long as his conditions are not too much, you should not bargain with him."
"Sister Ying, why are you talking to him?"
Bai Ying said: "It's not me who is looking at him. The authorities are confused and bystanders are clear. You can see today's meeting. Even Director Xu is a big brother and takes the initiative to stand up for him. His other novel "The Legend of Qin" has been filmed and television, and it's been half of the films. Think about it, after the TV series and movies are released, his copyright price will definitely rise. It's not just your publishing house that targets him."
Li Shanshan knew that Bai Ying was telling the truth, but the conditions proposed by Zhang Hehuan were too high for a new author.
At this time, Luo Peihong came over and smiled at Li Shanshan and said, "Mr. Zhang asked me to help him negotiate a specific contract. He said that all his royalties will be donated to charity."
Pan Kai did not expect that Xu Ke would be the big shot at noon. Pan Kai is a fan of Xu Ke. He has watched almost all the videos he directed. When he saw his idol, he was a little excited, which was obviously different from his calmness in the past.
Zhang Hehuan invited everyone to take a seat, asked Xu Ke and Sun Shu to sit on the table, and the others sat on both sides.
The chef Yuan Mei brought to cook Cantonese cuisine very well. Xu Ke, who was born in Xiangjiang, has always been picky about Cantonese cuisine, and even he ate it very much.
The negotiations between Li Shanshan and Luo Peihong went very smoothly. The contract was signed according to Zhang Hehuan's intention. One signed two books, one was the original "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and the other was the "Looking for Qin". Both were printed for 50,000 copies, with 15% of the royalties. Only domestic simplified copyrights were signed, and the authorization time was five years.
After hearing this, Sun Shuli immediately stated that he would order two thousand sets of "The Legend of Qin". Before the TV series was broadcast, publishing could help preheat the publicity. However, Sun Shuli also had a concern. After all, he had seen the original version. Objectively speaking, the original content was too explosive, and it would be difficult to publish without large-scale deletion and modification.
Of course, Sun Shuli doesn't have to worry about this. Zhang Hehuan has a pure version of the abridged version, but the original version is still quite delicious. Deleting the restricted plot in the novel will lose the charm of Huang Laoshi. However, the domestic publishing market must make choices. Zhang Hehuan is thinking about preparing to create a set of traditional Chinese, without deleting it in its original flavor, so that readers of this parallel world can enjoy the benefits of the master.
Xu Ke was very interested in the The Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy. When Zhang Hehuan came over to toast him, he couldn't help asking: "Have you said "The God of Condor Heroes" been written?"
Zhang Hehuan nodded: "I have written the The Legend of the Condor Heroes long ago."
Sun Shuli said: "You have been writing books since elementary school? There are so many big works, how can you have time to write?"
Zhang Hehuan said: "I have been writing novels since high school. It has been seven years since I counted. I write them very quickly. I basically produce 4 million words a year. Now I have nearly 30 million words of work." Anyway, I don't want to file taxes. The works in his hands are more than 30 million words. Since the centurion system opened his mouth to him, Zhang Hehuan has been free on the road to the text porter, and the transportation is violent and wild.
Li Shanshan looked at Zhang Hehuan with a little admiration. What does this mean by a work of 30 million words? If it is used to publish it, 200,000 yuan will produce 150 books, and many traditional writers will never write so many in their lifetime.
