No matter how negotiations with Hollywood companies progress, life has to continue.

In the rock climbing club, several familiar seniors joked with Zhang Chu while doing warm-up activities.

They can only be regarded as the outermost personnel of Shanying Society, and they can only practice on artificial rock walls. They cannot experience the fun of rock climbing at the so-called natural rock walls.

I always meet often, so I naturally become familiar with it. After all, this must be accompanied by the coach.

"Zhang Chu, I heard that you have become a millionaire, so I should treat you to celebrate!" Li Lina, a senior sister wearing a helmet, said with a smile, with two dimples appearing on her face.

Her boyfriend next to her, Han Weiwen, also a senior member of Shanying Club, turned around and joked while helping Li Lina check her seat belt, "Nana, Zhang Chu has long been a millionaire. Now he is talking about the copyright income of 10 million US dollars, which is so enviable."

Zhang Chu patted the pink bag on his waist and said helplessly: "That's all media reports, and there is no progress yet."

"Let me reveal a little bit, which company is interested in your book?" Li Lina lowered her voice, "Don't worry, we won't reveal trade secrets."

She and Han Weiwen both have good personalities. Han Weiwen often reveals some experiences and tricks of rock climbing to Zhang Chu, and is very familiar with it.

"I really didn't hide it. If a novel could sell for $10 million, I'm afraid all Hollywood companies would go bankrupt, and the book writers wouldn't have to risen?"

However, no one believed Zhang Chu's words. Even the top students at Yan University think he was just hiding them and trusted various news media more.

"The media in the United States have already reported it. You want to choose a good day to announce it, right?" Li Lina thought for a while and directly helped Zhang Chu find a reason.

Since everyone else said that, Zhang Chu had to shrugged his shoulders and pursed his mouth and didn't answer. They just wanted to hear the answers they were willing to listen to.

He grabbed the stones on the artificial rock climbing wall with his hands and started to exercise. This simple exercise exercise can exercise a person's balanced hands and feet, and it is also more fulfilling to do it.

Zhang Chu has always longed for the kind of fierce man who climbs outdoors, but he is just a beginner now and it is impossible to go to such a dangerous place.

However, when he was in mid-air, he fantasized about tying a strong safety rope, putting on light special shoes, fighting against gravity with his body and limbs, finding the fulcrum again and again and again and climbing towards the sky!

"Zhang Chu? Who of you saw Zhang Chu?"

Zhou Kang's hurried voice came from under the rock climbing training hall, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Han Weiwen, who was standing under the climbing wall, pointed to the black spider-man who was constantly climbing on his head and said, "That's Zhang Chu. Are you in urgent need of him?"

Zhou Kang was almost anxious when he couldn't answer the phone. He waited outside the door of Zhang Chu rented for five minutes. Except for the occasional meowing of matcha inside, it was quiet, so he found the Yan University campus again.

After hearing Zhang Chu's roommate say that this guy might be in the rock climbing hall, Zhou Kang trotted all the way, but found that Zhang Chu was practicing rock climbing!

"You said that was Zhang Chu?"

Zhou Kang raised his head. The man who looked like Spider-Man was hanging upside down on the cliff and moving carefully. It seemed that he would fall down accidentally, which was really thrilling!

In fact, Zhang Chu had just heard Zhou Kang's voice, but this stage is the most difficult and he can't be distracted at all.

After practicing for so long, he has not been able to successfully reach the top every time. Many times he falls down during this period.

Zhou Kang below held his breath and dared not urge him. Although there was a safety rope, who could say it correctly?

Fortunately, Zhang Chu used his limbs at this time and successfully climbed over this extremely difficult rock wall at an incredible angle. He only had time to take off his helmet and breathe heavily after climbing onto the top platform.

"It was really thrilling just now. Now you young people are so brave!" Zhou Kang said with emotion. If he stood there, his calves would probably tremble.

Zhang Chu's hair was soaked. Although it was only more than ten meters high, it consumed a lot of energy, and his arms were still a little sore now.

"Uncle Zhou, what are you looking for me to do in school?"

Something important happened suddenly, otherwise it would not be so urgent.

As soon as he mentioned this, Zhou Kang immediately grabbed Zhang Chu's arm and walked out, "I almost forgot about this, and there are still people waiting in the company."

Zhang Chu looked at his clothes and asked, "Who is it? Otherwise, I'll go back and change my clothes, and my phone will be placed in the locker over there."

"The producer representative of Warner Bros. is already waiting in a cafe outside our company and he wants to talk to you in person."

Han Weiwen next to him pretended to play with his phone with his back to the two of them. In fact, his ears were standing high and he heard every sentence accurately. It turned out that the Young Pi was working with Warner Brothers. Speaking of which, there was a Huayi Brothers in China, which was a bit confusing.

While wiping sweat with a tissue, Zhang Chu walked towards the locker, "Warner Brothers actually took a fancy to "Boys Pi"? Do you think they are sincere?"

"It should be okay, at least they are willing to come to the door. Lionsgate Pictures is very stingy and can't see any sincerity. Maybe the Young Pie will only cover the dust and never set up the project."

The two of them were talking less and less. Han Weiwen said in secretly that it was a pity that he wanted to hear more gossip.

But Zhang Chu and Zhou Kang had already gone far away. If they followed, they would be too deliberate, but they still heard some important content. It turned out that so many companies really liked this script.

Han Weiwen was full of envy and also had an impulse. Maybe he could try to write a book, but what exactly should he write?

After taking out the phone, bicycle keys and student cards from the locker, Zhang Chu replaced his special pair of rock climbing shoes and said helplessly: "It seems a bit too casual to meet someone in this image."

"Don't worry, the writer's unruly image is normal. Don't let people wait too long. The people from Random House are also with them. They just got off the plane in the afternoon and headed straight for the company."

Since this is the case, Zhang Chu must not be able to go back to take a shower and change clothes. He could only quickly get into Zhou Kang's car and rush all the way!

...

It is different from the anxious thoughts of other authors. Many authors are worried that their works will not be sold. As long as someone likes them, they will be willing to sell them even at the price of cabbage, thus making the novel into a movie or TV series.

Zhang Chu is much more rational because he has such confidence that the novels he wrote have been proven in his previous life. If they were sold at a low price like cabbage, it would be a waste of resources!

Even Warner Brothers is no different. If the other party can't give you what you want, it won't sell even if it offers a price of $20 million.

But then again, Warner Bros. could not offer such an outrageous price.

If the movie investment is too low, "Pi's Fantasy Drift" will not be filmed at all!

In terms of industry rules, in Hollywood, executives and directors think that they are the author of the film. After buying a specific script, the original author will give up all copyrights, and the film company can modify the script as needed.

The original author has basically no control or say in the entire process of the film creation. The speed of all senior executives of the film studio, from the people in charge of script development to the vice president or producer bosses, was shockingly fired or replaced.

The same script may be recognized by one team, but the new team will come up with new opinions after taking over.

The reason for this revision is not because the original script was too bad, but because the production team perfected the plot based on multiple rounds of discussion.

Maybe the producer, director, starring or senior executives of a film company all have their own opinions. When there are hundreds of subtle changes in a work and everything is updated, it is not uncommon to leave only the protagonist's name and the name of the work!

Zhang Chu didn't want to see "Boyant Pi" become another story under the Warner Bros. It is necessary to fight for the right to speak.

If the whole story becomes brand new, Zhang Chu will not be sure how many will be left.

Among many large companies, it is very difficult to fight for the right to speak. Many Hollywood superstars have fought for most of their lives to have a little power. It is very difficult for Zhang Chu to reach the top in one step!

Unless, unless others are particularly in need of this script, there is no hope.

"Maybe the news from outside is a good thing, otherwise Warner Brothers wouldn't have come to the door so rashly. I hope they will add price to each other and increase some chips."

Zhang Chu sat in the back seat, his head quickly calmed down and began to think. He could not be deceived by the sweet words represented by Warner Brothers later. He had to be careful!

Those people can persuade investors to spend tens of millions of dollars, and those who die can be said to be alive, and they will be surrounded by accident.

Since the other party intends to take love with his sword, he must be prepared. Now it depends on how the other party takes action and can only be flexible when countering the moves.

If this time fails, he is willing to take some time to wait and wait for the day when "Young Pi" shines!

Random House is like a broker who pimps both sides, and the more companies join the competition, the more beneficial it is for them.

Even when Chris signed with "Boyant Pi", he never thought that he would be nominated for the Booker Award, and would be on the New York Times bestseller rankings, and could sell quickly around the world.
