In the office of the Copyright Department, two men were arguing.

The employee who just went to negotiate has already handed over the contract, and all that remains is to wait for the boss inside to make a decision.

Fortunately, the inner office is well soundproofed, so no one can hear their quarrel.

The people below only know that the department manager went in with the contract and didn't come out for a long time.

The man known as Angkor sat on the boss's chair, and in front of him stood a young man with a long beard and long hair.

If Xia Xingruo and Bai Banxia were standing here, they would be able to recognize that the person standing in the copyright department office at this time is Yuan Qi, the screenwriter who criticized "The Call from the Summer Solstice" as worthless yesterday.

"Unless you can come up with a contract of equal value to this contract now, you are making things difficult for me." Department Manager Wu Ge said, patting the contract on the table.

He originally thought that Lezhengxing Entertainment was just a small player from the south, so he sent a few of his men to deal with it casually. He didn't expect that the other party was so sincere.

It would have been easy to resolve this matter if it had remained within the copyright department, but now the matter has been brought to the big boss, and he must handle it properly.

"I..." Yuan Qi opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

He is not the one who can make decisions at all. There are directors and investors above him.

After Lezhengxing Entertainment called yesterday, Angkor had already expressed his anger with them.

In the southern circles, few people dare to compete with people in the capital for resources and scripts.

The higher-ups didn't take it seriously and just asked Yuan Qi to come over and keep an eye on it. Due to their private relationship, as long as the other party's bid was not too much higher than theirs, the website would reject it directly.

I just didn't expect that not only did the other party's bid far exceed theirs, but they even had many conditions in the contract that they couldn't provide.

"Hurry up and call the people above. I can't delay it too long." Angkor lit a cigarette. His meaning was very obvious. He only waited for Yuan Qi to smoke a cigarette.

Yuan Qi didn't shy away from it and started making phone calls in front of Angkor in the office.

During the phone call, his face turned red, but his words were still flattering and he didn't dare to get angry.

"Director Feng said it can only be increased to 250,000 at most."

After the phone call, Angkor had just finished smoking a cigarette. He put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and shook his head.

"I have cooperated with you many times before, but this time I really can't sell Director Feng's face. I also have difficulties."

After saying that, he stood up from the stool with the contract in hand. As long as it is approved by the big boss, the copyright of "Summer Solstice Call" will be officially sold to Qinglian Technology, which is not even an entertainment company.

...

Zhang Mingyang and others sat bored in the conference room.

Xia Xingruo has just come back, so there is no need to ask the author's opinion. She agreed to sell the film and television rights to Qinglian Technology, so she has no objection.

After a while, the door to the conference room was finally pushed open.

Among the few people who walked in, the leader was a middle-aged woman wearing business attire. Although there were many wrinkles around her eyes, her charm was still there.

Zhang Mingyang had long heard that the owner of the website was a woman. She had been writing romance novels since the days before the Internet.

Just as he guessed, the woman was indeed the owner of the website. She also agreed to sell the film and television rights to "The Summer Solstice Call" and signed and sealed the contract herself.

Although the waiting time was a little longer, the process of signing the contract was extremely smooth, and no one jumped out to stop it.

As the three parties put pen to paper, the film and television adaptation rights of "The Call from the Summer Solstice" and the right of first refusal for the future novel copyrights of the author Bai Xia Rujiu have officially fallen into Zhang Mingyang's hands.

He originally thought he would be delayed in the capital for a while, but he didn't expect it to be resolved so quickly.

All that's left is to go back to Linjiang and gather people to film the TV series.

The two sides once again complimented each other friendly for a while.

While talking about having more opportunities to collaborate in the future, I also thanked the website for having such excellent works.

When Zhang Mingyang and others were about to go downstairs and leave the company, a young man with long hair and beard suddenly appeared in front of them.

If his hair and beard hadn't been well taken care of, Zhang Mingyang would have even wondered if he had a mental illness from somewhere, and why didn't the security guard stop him.

He probably looks like a post-modern artist in this way, and it would not be unfair to say that he is mentally ill.

As soon as Yuan Qi appeared, he walked straight towards Xia Xingruo.

Zhang Mingyang found his target and stood in front of Xia Xingruo.

Bai Banxia wanted to curse when she saw this face, but was stopped by Xia Xingruo beside her.

She quietly leaned into Zhang Mingyang's ear and said, "This is yesterday's screenwriter."

Although he criticized "The Call from the Summer Solstice" as being faulty, Xia Xingruo didn't have much resentment towards him because she also felt that many of what Yuan Qi said were indeed her shortcomings.

Zhang Mingyang laughs but doesn't laugh. Now that the contract has been signed, what's the use of him coming back?

"Not selling the novel to me would definitely be your worst decision. Without my polishing and revision, it would be impossible for your novel to be brought to the table."

Yuan Qi was blocked by Zhang Mingyang. Every time he spoke a word, the beard on his chin would tremble.

I don't know if he was telling the truth or if he was angry.

Hearing these words, Zhang Mingyang was immediately laughed out of anger. You were the one who co-wrote and later changed "The Call from the Summer Solstice" beyond recognition.

It's okay if you don't change it. After the change, coupled with the poor performance of the heroine, the ratings of the TV series version of "The Call from the Summer Solstice" and the novel version on a certain website are two extremes.

"Where did the mental illness come in? You security guards don't care. Tell your boss that it's time to deduct wages."

Zhang Mingyang ignored Yuan Qi at all. He said this to the editor next to him.

Of course the editor knew the identity of the "mentally ill person" he mentioned, but she also did not dare to offend Zhang Mingyang, so she was caught in the middle.

Before Yuan Qi could get angry, Xia Xingruo took the initiative to stand in front of Zhang Mingyang.

"Teacher Yuan, I know my novel is still very immature, but I believe in the words I wrote." Xia Xingruo's eyes were firm, no longer as hesitant as when he was criticized yesterday.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Being stared at by Xia Xingruo like this, Yuan Qi felt a little guilty. After all, many of his criticisms of "The Call from the Summer Solstice" yesterday were just nitpicking.

He was proud to see the little girl's lack of confidence, but now that he was looking at her like this, he felt guilty.

"We have already found the heroine. Only if she plays the role can your novel become a real hit." Yuan Qi still refused to let go, but gradually lost his arrogance.

Zhang Mingyang dismissed it, saying that the heroine you are looking for has a good-looking face, but everything she performs is bad.

"I have also found the heroine." Xia Xingruo walked to Shen Congyi: "She is the heroine I am most satisfied with."

The editor looked on, the girl's heart almost bursting with excitement.

It's great to have a CEO boyfriend. Not only can he film a TV series for her, Xia Xingruo can even choose the heroine of the TV series.

Yuan Qi finally noticed Shen Congyi in the crowd.

After reading the full text of "The Call from the Summer Solstice", he decided to propose purchasing this excellent work to his superiors.

The moment he saw Shen Congyi, he had only one thought. If he were a director, he would definitely choose her during the casting process. It was so suitable.

Just standing there, she looked like a heroine running out of a book.

But he didn't have this power. The heroine had already been pre-determined before Director Feng decided what to film. She was a popular person around the management.

Shen Congyi was a little confused. Seeing Mr. Zhang buying the copyright, and she was still thinking about how to win the heroine position, Xia Xingruo suddenly appeared next to her and said, you are the heroine I chose.

Everything happened so suddenly that it even made her feel a little unreal.

It seems that pleasing the landlady is more useful than pleasing the boss.

Yuan Qi opened his mouth, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

The big boss who returned to the office finally discovered the farce here and quickly found someone to separate the two parties.

"If you're mentally ill, go back to the mental hospital quickly. Don't embarrass yourself here." Before leaving, Zhang Mingyang didn't forget to turn around and sarcastically say.

He doesn't have a good face towards those who bully Sister Ruoruo. He can only say thank you to the rule of law society for saving him.

Yuan Qi wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Angkor who appeared behind him.

"They are from the Linjiang Merchant Gang."

If this was what the big boss had revealed to him just now, this sentence contained a lot of meaning, and he hoped Yuan Qi could understand it.

But Yuan Qi looked gloomy, as if he didn't understand what matters in the entertainment industry have to do with businessmen?

"Manager Wu, come to my office."

"OK."

Normally, the big boss could turn a blind eye to his relationship with Yuan Qi, but not this time. Because of the relationship, he almost affected the company's normal operations.

After Angkor left, Yuan Qi still disagreed.

The person above him controls everything in the circle, isn't he just a businessman?

No matter how good the work is, what's the use as long as it can't be released?

...

Once the copyright purchase was completed, their mission in Laijiang was successfully completed.

On the way back to the hotel, everyone was in a good mood.

Shen Congyi ran directly to Xia Xingruo, held her hand, and talked affectionately.

The three girls were walking in front, chattering, and seemed to have a very good relationship.
