Chapter three hundred and eighty thick olive branch(1/2)
As a magazine editor, it is not rare to chat in the office occasionally. Even talking about chatting is part of the work, because the inspiration for new topics often comes from this.
When the topic selection meeting is really held, everyone argues and is serious. Often, they cannot draw conclusions in the end. Finally, they decide to temporarily put aside their work and choose other topics to talk nonsense, but instead have unexpected gains. This is the characteristic of creative work.
"Jianglu" is no exception, and since the boss himself is also a casual person, he adopts the so-called soft-hearted technique and occasionally creates topics, everyone can basically speak freely.
By chance, Liu Jingting suddenly mentioned the topic of virgin complex, which caught several editors off guard. However, no one expected that at the end of the topic, such a twists and turns would appear. Yang Lilu, despite the onlookers of her colleagues and her aunt, declared sovereignty to Liu Jingting.
"You dare!"
These two domineering words vividly and specifically answered Liu Jingting’s potential question. For Yang Lilu, the question “Do you have a virgin complex?” is equivalent to asking: “Do you mind Liu Jingting’s innocence?”
Yang Lilu did not say "I care" or "of course", but directly issued a warning. "I don't care about what you did before. From today on, do you dare not keep your innocence?"
This is naturally a rhetorical question.
Everyone in the office looked at each other, and they held back their smiles before they were uncertain about what Liu Jingting meant.
Liu Jingting paused for a while and said frankly: "Don't be nervous, just laugh freely."
The office burst into laughter. Yang Lilu was indignant and let out an outstanding roar from the new era of women. Afterwards, she suddenly realized that the occasion seemed to be a little wrong. Her pretty face suddenly turned red, she lowered her head and frowned. She was both ashamed and regretful.
Liu Jingting glanced at her and said, "Yang Lilu. Come with me."
Yang Lilu obediently left her seat and followed Liu Jingting out of the office.
Xu Qing hesitated for a moment, finally shook her head with a smile, and finally said nothing.
...
"Sit down."
The two came to Liu Jingting's exclusive studio, and Liu Jingting greeted in a profound way.
Yang Lilu sat down honestly.
"It seems like the first time you are like this in front of me since we met - timid?"
Yang Lilu finally raised her head, but once she met Liu Jingting's gaze, she vaguely said: "I was wrong." "Are you wrong?" Liu Jingting pretended to be confused: "Where was wrong?"
"We shouldn't spoil the story of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", no, we shouldn't say that to you in front of everyone."
Liu Jingting waved his hand and said, "The manuscript of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" can be circulated internally, it's nothing. As for the second one, except that the tone is slightly not gentle enough, there is no problem. Don't you think so?"
Yang Lilu looked up at Liu Jingting again and asked, "Then call me here. Aren't you going to scold me?"
Liu Jingting smiled and said, "I called you here, because I want to work. Isn't it working hours now?"
"ah?"
"Yes. Going to write the second part of Harry Potter."
"Oh, the second part."
Yang Lilu repeated, feeling a little disappointed in her heart, as if the plot did not develop as expected.
"Yes, the second Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, in which Voldemort's true identity will surface."
Yang Lilu nodded and said no. At this time, someone knocked on the door, and Xu Qing's voice sounded outside the door: "Jingting, Lulu?"
Yang Lilu hurriedly got up and opened the door. Xu Qing quickly looked at the two of them, then her eyes fell on Liu Jingting. She said, "A customer came outside, claiming to be the person in charge of CCTV TV Series Channel. She was named Shi Wei, and said she had something important to talk about with you."...
"CCTV?" Liu Jingting said to himself and asked: "Where is now?"
"I asked him to wait in the first floor living room."
"Okay, I'll go see him, thank you Aunt Qing."
After Liu Jingting left, Xu Qing asked Yang Lilu: "Lulu, did he say something about you?"
Yang Lilu shook her head and said, "He said he was going to write the second Harry Potter movie. He asked me to come here, it was work."
Xu Qing laughed inexplicably and said, "This kid is so cunning."
Yang Lilu said "um" without any pain, Xu Qing was stunned, then she had some insights and said, "Lulu, do you have any worries?"
Yang Lilu didn't know how to answer, she shook her head and nodded again.
"Because of his attitude?"
Yang Lilu replied: "I think we don't look like we are in a romantic relationship now, it's weird."
"It's a bit strange that you have been friends for so long and suddenly become lovers. It takes a process. Liu Jingting looks free and easy, but he is actually an old-fashioned person."
Xu Qing pondered for a moment and said, "I have time to talk to him."
"Auntie-I want him to make his own decision on this matter."
Xu Qing nodded and said, "That's true. I'll go down first and see what's going on."
...
The person who came was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a pair of glass glasses, and his temperament was three-point similar to Lu Yichou, elegant and confident. At this time, he was carefully reading a "Minglu" of unknown issues.
"Hello, Mr. Shi." Liu Jingting came over and said hello.
The middle-aged man put down the magazine, stood up with a smile, and reached out to Liu Jingting: "Hello Mr. Liu."
"Please sit."
Liu Jingting met with big names in various ways as a young boy, and did not experience stage fright due to age gap at all.
"Mr. Shi may as well say it directly." Liu Jingting said politely and directly.
Shi Wei smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Liu is young and promising, and he is very efficient in doing things. It is true that I am here to find Mr. Liu this time. I have something to do. I am here to discuss cooperation with Mr. Liu."
"cooperate?"
"It is, as we all know, Mr. Liu showed his skills in his previous regaining classic culture. A popular "Journey to the West" has been played so far. The station has made plans to purchase the playback copyright from Xingyue. Mr. Liu will soon know these, so he will not waste time saying that today I came to Mr. Liu with sincerity. I want to talk about the possibility of a new cooperation."
Although I have been cultivating myself and forging a strong mind, the impatient nature in my bones has never been completely freed. Liu Jingting asked directly: "What specific aspect of the cooperation Mr. Shi refers to?"
"TV series." Shi Wei no longer beat around the bush.
Liu Jingting looked at Shi Wei and signaled him to continue talking.
"We might as well reveal a piece of information to President Liu. Recently, the Taiwan Li received an internal news that in order to further promote the construction of spiritual civilization, the Central Propaganda Department organized a selection activity called the "June 1st Project", which includes an excellent drama work, an excellent TV series work, an excellent film work. An excellent social science book, an outstanding social science paper, and a good song that inspires people and is full of positive energy. In response to this call, the Taiwan Li is preparing to produce a targeted TV series. This is why I came to President Liu."
After hearing Shi Wei's introduction, Liu Jingting asked: "When will this policy be implemented?"
Shi Wei smiled and said, "Our station received the documents No. 1, and other departments should receive notifications one after another, and formal announcements will be issued in the next two days."
Liu Jingting nodded and thought to himself: "So. Xingyue should have received a notice, why didn't Gong Chengpin mention this matter to him?"
Liu Jingting asked: "How does Mr. Shi mean to cooperate? Because according to my view, martial arts TV series obviously does not conform to the spirit of this event."...
Shi Wei said: "The initial direction we set is to film history. Making an epic drama, but considering that it is difficult to popularize pure historical dramas, I hope to do appropriate romance on the basis of history. I hope to get the opinions of President Liu."
Liu Jingting blurted out: "Seven-point epic, three-point legend?"
Shi Wei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's not quantitative, but Mr. Liu said this more appropriately."
Liu Jingting asked: "Does Guitai already have a specific direction, such as which stage of history is selected as the basis?"
"There are currently five listed in the plan to be confirmed. Emperor Wu of Han, the Three Kingdoms, the Early Tang Dynasty, the Early Ming Dynasty, the Kangxi, and General Liu thought?"
Liu Jingting secretly guessed the typical significance of these five choices. He said: "These five choices have great potential, and the historical events that have occurred are all more exciting than the novel."
Shi Wei nodded and said, "And the spread among the people in these five eras is relatively high."
Liu Jingting thought for a while and asked, "I wonder why Mr. Shi would consider me. This kind of historical drama is not very consistent with the novels I have published before."
Shi Wei said: "Mr. Liu doesn't have to be too humble. Mr. Liu's previous martial arts works have perfected the use of history, especially the "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". His description of Genghis Khan is fascinating, and it basically depends on historical facts. Moreover, the statement that Mr. Liu proposed that "history is just a nail to a novel" is also very inspiring."
Before Liu Jingting was not sure about Xingyue TV's intention, he could not agree to Shi Wei rashly, so he had to say: "This is a big deal. I may need to think carefully. Can I give Mr. Shi a reply in a few days?"
Shi Wei smiled and said, "That's natural, I'll leave my phone number to Mr. Liu."
"Then it's a labor."
...
After seeing Shi Wei off, Liu Jingting was about to go back to the office to call Gong Chengpin. Xu Qing intercepted him halfway and said solemnly: "Liu Jingting, I have a question to ask you."
Liu Jingting hesitated and asked: "Does it take a long time?"
"Just a few words."
"Then Aunt Qing, tell me."
"How old are you this year?" Xu Qing asked suddenly.
Liu Jingting was stunned and replied, "It's about 24th in July."
Liu Jingting has actually always been vague about his age.
"Then do you know how old Lulu is this year?"
"She is four months younger than me? Why is Aunt Qing... Oh, Aunt Qing, I understand what you mean."
"I have no other intentions. I just as an elder, I was entrusted by her parents. I asked a few more questions, hoping you don't mind."
"How could you mind, Aunt Qing, don't worry, I know what to do."
Xu Qing nodded and asked, "Why did that Shi Wei look for you?"
To be continued...
