Since bbc showed their sincerity, Zhang Chu didn't mind briefly withdrawing from "Su Shen Ji" to prepare for the plot outline of the second season of "Detective Sherlock".

After all, he is also a person with professional ethics. If he gets done with this matter earlier, he might be able to help with a new book. After all, there is too little news for "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" to be reported, and Zhang Chu must work hard to promote it himself.

On the plane from Jiangcheng to Yanjing, Zhang Chu sat in his position. On the small table in front of him was a book called "Detective Sherlock Holmes". What he had to do was extract the stories here and then merge them together.

Each episode will be a case, and each case is not isolated, but will form a whole.

Fortunately, Zhang Chu watched this British drama without missing a single episode in his previous life. He referred to the memories in his mind and combined with the original work of Conan Doyle, the context of the TV series appeared in his mind very clearly.

The airflow was bumpy when the plane encountered some bumps. The flight attendant immediately reminded the passengers to fasten their seat belts on the radio, and Zhang Chu immediately put away the book. At this time, he saw the girl wearing headphones on the seat beside him watching the iPad indifferently, as if she had no sense of the bumps of the plane.

He turned his head curiously and found that he was really watching Shen Xia on the iPad screen!

I really didn’t expect that "Sherlock" can become so popular now that people are watching it on the plane, and there are only three episodes.

Fortunately, the bumps of the plane did not last long. After the fuselage returned to stability, Zhang Chu felt relieved. His wonderful journey of life had just begun, and he didn't want to encounter any air crash.

After the Spring Festival, Yanjing Airport was extremely busy, with long queues of taxis, and Uber and Didi were simply unable to get anything from them. In the end, Zhang Chu had to choose to rent a car and drove back to the community next to Yanjing University.

The matcha was shipped in a cage. It finally came out of the small shipping box, but now it was excited to rush around the car, as if venting its depression.

I haven't lived in a month. Although there is no dust in the room, it still took him a lot of effort to clean it.

After working hard this trip, Zhang Chu collapsed on the sofa and didn't want to move. Fortunately, the signing ceremony with BBC was scheduled tomorrow, and he could relax a little.

...

Richard Dent looked up at the gloomy sky, then pulled his scarf and led his briefcase to this familiar place under the translator.

He had been to the same place for half a year ago and took away the script and English version of the work for one million pounds. Now he has to return to the old place several times the price to buy the subsequent content.

"I should have signed all the following content in one go, so I don't have to pay so much." Richard sighed a little. He didn't feel sorry for the copyright fee of 3 million pounds, but for the 3% dividend!

According to the current profit prospects of "Detective Sherlock" on TV, this work can have a profit margin of 150 million pounds, which means that Zhang Chu will receive at least 4.5 million pounds of dividends in the second season.

This is just the beginning. Any British drama with a good reputation will increase sales and ratings after each season of completion!

Maybe if this continues, Zhang Chu can get a dividend of 6 million pounds in the third or fourth season of Shenxia, ​​plus a dividend of 3.5 million pounds, which alone can exceed tens of millions of pounds.

In fact, this is very simple. When the first season of "Sherlock" was not popular, many of the fees were relatively cheap, just like the broadcasting rights sold to Tencent Video in China were relatively cheap, and the second season would definitely increase a lot.

Even though the money is not Richard's own, he feels very distressed. Now he is even more soaking in the bookstore to find other books suitable for adaptation.

The elevator "ding" interrupted Richard's thoughts, and he quickly eliminated himself from these thoughts to avoid accidents in this contract signing.

Flying thousands of miles away from England was to ensure that the contract was accessible, and Richard did not allow anyone to destroy the things this time.

In the conference room, when Zhang Chu saw Richard wearing a suit and coat, he stood up and greeted him, saying in English: "Richard, my friend, welcome you to China!"

"This is a beautiful place. In fact, we went out for a walk last night, which was much more shocking than the city of London." Richard praised politely, knowing that anyone would like to hear the praise of his hometown.

Zhang Chu pointed to the folder in his location and said with a smile: "I have prepared the outline and content of the second season. I can hand it over to you after signing the contract."

Richard raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Wow! So soon, are you sure you have written it?"

"Of course, I've said these things have always been in my mind. You can take a look at them yourself later, and you won't disappoint you."

If you solve this matter earlier, Zhang Chu would also calm down and write books and go to school. He didn't want to be woken up by these British people in the middle of the night to ask for an outline of the script or discuss how to write a specific plot.

At this time, Zhou Kang interrupted their continued discussion, "Gentlemen, why not wait until we sign the contract before discussing the script? With Mr. Zhang Chu's reputation, this script is even more exciting than last season!"

"Then let's wait and see." Richard sat in his seat, and the lawyer who followed him immediately began to review the original contract on the table to see if it was consistent with the terms discussed earlier.

This is something that must be done. Sometimes negligence may cause serious consequences, and neither of them wants to leave such a mistake.

"Mr. Dent, there is no problem with the contract and can be signed."

The lawyer whispered in Richard's ear that the Chinese-English bilingual contract stipulated a lot of content, and the respective obligations and powers of both parties were clearly stated.

Zhang Chu picked up the signature pen and wrote his name readily, then exchanged it with Richard. Behind him was a staff member taking pictures of the two signings, which might be used for news releases.

"Richard, now it belongs to you, and I will send the electronic version to your email address soon." Zhang Chu handed over the printed folder, his whole expression relaxed.

After getting these things, Richard did not leave directly, but opened them directly. As the producer of "Detective Sherlock", he knew the script of last season well, so he wanted to directly review whether the script could successfully combine the content of the two seasons.

The others did not urge him, which was equivalent to the inspection stage. As the payer, they really needed to look at these contents.

The first episode of season 2 takes on the last episode of last season's plot: Just as Moriarty and Sherlock were fighting life and death, Moriarty's cell phone rang, and he received a mysterious call and had to give up the game with Sherlock. On the other end of the phone, an enchanting woman's hand appeared, and he seemed to have mastered what Moriarty wanted very much.

Richard sat in the chair, looking at what Zhang Chu gave all his heart, suddenly raised his head and asked, "This episode is adapted from "The Bohemian Scandal"? Erin finally appeared."

"Yes, I called it the Belgovia scandal. Erin was Sherlock's only female friend, and Watson was the most important person in Sherlock's life."

Zhou Kang could no longer understand what the two of them were talking about, so he could only look blank and pretend to understand.

"It's right, we do need a female character. Erin is the only woman who has defeated Sherlock. I saw a more humane Sherlock from your outline, which is pretty good!"

Zhang Chu smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise. I had sent the electronic version to your email when you read it just now."

Richard didn't mean to get up at all, and he didn't seem to mind at all, "That's fine, I'll take a look at what's going on later."

The plot of the second episode of season 2 still did not disappoint him. Zhang Chu adapted "The Hound of Baskerville" into a modern adaptation, and the content of the third episode surprised Richard!

Moriarty was determined to make Sherlock a pseudo-hero, and wanted to make him wise and lose his reputation.

When the two of them stood on the roof as fateful confrontation, Moriarty threatened Watson, Mrs. Hudson and others and asked Sherlock to jump downstairs!

Moriarty, who was already crazy, actually killed himself by Rick swallowing a gun, just to force Sherlock to jump off the building. Watson, who had just arrived downstairs, received Sherlock's last call with his own eyes and witnessed his friend falling in front of him.

This kind of plot can definitely greatly mobilize the audience's spirit and make them unable to move away from their sight. At the end, Sherlock also saw Watson's true feelings in front of the forged grave in the shadows, laying the groundwork for the content of the next season.

Richard put down the folder, and he shook his head with a smile on his face, "God, you once again surprised me. This script is great! It is different from ordinary, tense and exciting, the best script I have ever seen."

"I'm glad to make you think so, and I think it's very good too." Zhang Chu didn't feel humble at all. This script is indeed very good.

"We don't need to modify it at all, just fill it in. You're really suitable for writing scripts. Maybe you can come to the UK and I can introduce you to other movies and TV series companies."

"Sorry, I still have to go to school in the country."

"Oh, I forgot that you are still a student! You are already a major in film and television, right? Such a professional, excellent scripts are so rare!"

Richard used various words to describe this script, and the elements that an excellent script should have are all available!

"Now we have promoted "Sherlock" to more than 100 countries and regions, and this second season will probably be more released. Unfortunately, there are only more than 200 countries on Earth."
Chapter completed!
