The long review moved the author Xu Jing to tears.

Because of the details and analysis, you can tell at a glance that it was someone who read it carefully and then had such feelings.

In many places, the other party even perfectly expressed the emotions and things they wanted to express.

Just because of the other party's liking for her work and his serious attitude in studying it, Xu Jing had a much better impression of him.

Then they talked about the adaptation. The other party said that because her pen name is not very famous at present, the adaptation fee for the first book will not be too high, maybe only about hundreds of thousands.

The money was indeed less than Xu Jing had imagined, but this was the first time in her life that she had sold the copyright for a novel or film or television work. In this situation, the sense of accomplishment was far more important than the joy of getting money.

So she agreed without hesitation.

The normal process should be communication between the other party and the website, but although Xu Jing has written several novels, she has never signed a contract with the website at all, and it all depends on her feelings.

So the other party said that she could sign the contract directly with her, and once the company had drafted the contract, it would be sent to her for her to sign.

During the two days of drafting the contract, the other party had been talking to her about how her novel might be adapted, suitable male and female actors, etc.

Listening to the other party's story, Xu Jing seemed to have seen the TV series adapted from her novel starring famous stars and then becoming a hit all over the country!

I think every online writer has had such a dream, and Xu Jing is no exception.

That's why she spent so much time on her phone every day these two days and was in such a good mood, because she was always chatting with the other person about the TV series.

Just now, the other party sent her a message telling her that the contract has been drafted and if nothing goes wrong, it may be sent to her tomorrow.

When Xu Jing thought that after the contract was signed, the sale of the film and television rights to her novel would be a done deal, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

But now after hearing Lin Xi's words, she was not happy at all.

"Lin Xi, do you think he's really a liar? But he just said he'd send me a contract tomorrow. Is there something wrong with the contract?"

Lin Xi had never experienced such a situation, but she could see that Xu Jing's misfortune was not over yet.

And it seems to be getting more serious, to the point where you are about to fall completely into the scam.

So she could only comfort Xu Jing: "Don't worry, something will happen soon."

Xu Jing: “…”

Do you listen to this?

But the next second after Lin Xi finished speaking, Xu Jing's phone suddenly rang again.

She quickly picked up the phone on the table and found that the person who sent her the message was from the film and television company.

The other party had just told her two minutes ago to wait for his express delivery number early tomorrow morning, and Xu Jing thought the matter had been settled.

She didn't expect that the other party would send her another message.

Xu Jing took a deep breath and opened the message interface.

At first, the other party sent her an apology, and then said in an embarrassed tone that the contract had already been drafted, but he suddenly received news that something happened at the company and the contract had to be changed temporarily.

With Lin Xi's reminder, Xu Jing subconsciously became defensive when he heard these words again.

But since it was related to her dream of adaptation, she still contacted the other party with the last glimmer of hope and asked him what the contract changes were.

The other party told her embarrassedly.

Just now, an author who had already signed a contract with the company suddenly proposed to cancel the contract and did not intend to sell the copyright to them. After the company inquired, they found out that the other party was in talks with another film and television company while contacting them.

As a result, in order to steal their business, another film and television company offered a price slightly higher than theirs to poach the author.

It was obvious that they were the ones who talked to the author first, the contract and procedures were all prepared, and the company's follow-up team was also assigned.

It can be said that everything is ready. They can just find someone to start filming after she signs the contract.

As a result, at the most critical moment, the other party said they would not sign a contract with them.

What can the company do in this situation? There is no other way except to scold her verbally. After all, they have not signed the contract yet.

But the company suffered heavy losses and was exhausted because of her broken promise.

So the leader just called them to an emergency meeting and said that they needed to revise the contract. For the benefit of their company's employees and for the sake of more stable cooperation, the signed authors need to pay a "contribution fee" of 2,000 yuan first.

Of course, their company will not really use this money for anything, they just want to make sure that both parties are sincere in wanting to cooperate.

Once the author signs the contract, they will naturally return the money.

But if the author has been teasing them for a long time and finally regrets it at the critical moment, the money will be used as hard work compensation for those colleagues.

Of course, if their company cancels the contract at the last minute, they will also compensate the author 2,000 yuan as compensation.

In this way, neither party will suffer any loss, and the two thousand yuan is just to buy everyone peace of mind.

Two thousand yuan is not a lot for a college student, but it is definitely not a small amount.

But if these two thousand yuan could be exchanged for a sure-fire adaptation contract, Xu Jing might actually agree to it directly.

After all, she was sure that she would not break the contract, so the other party would definitely return the money to her once the contract was signed.

Moreover, her mind was full of matters of adaptation and contract, and she couldn't wait to sign the contract immediately. She didn't want to waste time and energy to find out whether this so-called "contributory fee" was regular or not.

However, after hearing what Lin Xi said, her previous angry emotions had calmed down a lot.

She did not agree to the other party immediately, but quickly searched for similar situations on the Internet.

As a result, when she took a look, she really discovered something incredible!

This thing is actually a scam!

The victims posted their personal experiences online, and their experiences before transferring money were almost exactly the same as what Xu Jing encountered.

After the so-called film and television company asked them to pay a deposit, they all transferred the money directly to the other party.

I originally thought that I would receive the contract the next day and then start the adaptation process.

As a result, they waited and waited the next day, but not only did they not receive the contract express delivery number, but when they asked again, they found that the other party had blocked them!

So they did this just to cheat out the two thousand dollars!

The more Xu Jing watched, the more frightened she became, and at the same time, the angrier she became.

She really didn't dare to think that if she hadn't listened to Lin Xi's reminder, she would definitely lose her temper and transfer money directly to the other party like those people who were deceived on the Internet.

Fortunately, Lin Xi reminded her at the critical moment.

Looking at Xu Jing's angry expression, Lin Xi knew that she must have seen through the other party's deception, so he didn't say anything and continued playing with his phone.

So she had no idea what Xu Jing had done.

It was not until more than ten minutes later when the dormitory manager ran up and knocked on the door, asking if Xu Jing was there, and when a police comrade was downstairs looking for her, that Lin Xi realized that Xu Jing had quietly done something big.

Xu Jing herself was also very nervous. Although she was the one who called the police, it was the first time she had seen the police for such a thing.

So she begged Lin Xi in a low voice to accompany her to the bathroom.

Lin Xi was also curious about what she had done, so he put on his clothes and went downstairs with her.
