After reading the last line, Jack couldn't calm down for a long time.
He seemed to have followed Forrest Gump, experiencing those years of laughter and tears, and witnessing the beauty and complexity of human nature.
"There's a market for this novel." Jack said with a premonition after reading Forrest Gump.
He then contacted the sender and saw that the sender's address was from Hong Kong. He frowned slightly and then checked the author's name - Oscar.
"Could it be an American in Hong Kong, someone in the entertainment industry? A screenwriter? No matter who it is, we must obtain the publishing and distribution rights to this novel." Jack frowned slightly when he saw the name of the author of "Forrest Gump".
Then, he quickly contacted Oscar. After Jack sent the email to Oscar, he became a little nervous because the publishing royalty rate he offered was only 6%, which was the lowest price.
He was worried that Oscar would refuse to let his publishing house publish the novel because the royalty rate was too low.
Jack is very optimistic about "Forrest Gump", but the author is a new writer, and Warner Publishing has always been able to only charge this price. Even if the editor-in-chief or chief editor signs a new book by a new writer, the royalty rate is still this.
Jack originally thought that it would take two or three days for Oscar to reply to him.
However, he never expected that less than an hour later, his mailbox would ring, indicating that there was a new email.
Jack's heartbeat quickened, and he opened the email with trembling fingers.
The sender was Oscar. The content of the email was brief but direct: "Jack, although the 6% royalty rate is not high, I believe in Warner Bros.'s promotional capabilities. More importantly, I have great confidence in Forrest Gump. I will entrust you with the distribution of this book."
After reading the email, Jack felt relieved and an irrepressible joy appeared on his face.
The next day, Jack submitted "Forrest Gump" to the editor-in-chief for review.
After the editor-in-chief has reviewed it and found no problems, you can submit it and the publication date can be set within a month.
As one of the editors-in-chief of Warner Publishing, there are publishing targets every year. It is not just about publishing a random novel. The sales target is how many copies of the published novel need to be sold. The commissions that the editors get also come from this, which is related to the editors' year-end performance and career development.
“This novel is really well written. It is set in the United States from the 1950s to the 1970s, a turbulent period in history that saw major historical events such as the Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War, and Watergate.
Through Forrest Gump's eyes, the film shows the landscape of American society during this period.
Forrest Gump embodies inspiration, warmth, trustworthiness, and courage to the fullest. With an IQ of only 75, he interprets the true meaning of life with a pure and flawless heart.
After going through this period of baptism, white people will be deeply touched after watching "Forrest Gump".
This novel is going to be a hit. Jack, prepare the proofreading and typesetting. I'll go through special channels and get Forrest Gump published as soon as possible." The editor-in-chief of Warner Publishing had read the novel Jack submitted, but he hadn't taken it seriously at first.
Although Jack has been working at Warner Publishing for three years, most of the works he submitted during these three years have received mediocre responses. They have neither aroused enthusiastic response from the market nor caused a stir in the literary circle.
Unexpectedly, the novel he submitted this time caught his eye and he thought it had the potential to be a hit.
"Editor-in-chief, I'm ready." Jack became excited when he saw that the editor-in-chief was also optimistic about "Forrest Gump".
It seems like I can see next month's salary.
..........
Hong Kong, film set.
"Cut!" After Zhang Qiurui finished shooting the shot of Li Shaohong sitting on the sofa in the corner of the villa, all the crew members looked at Zhang Qiurui.
"I announce that the filming of the movie "Love" has been completed." Zhang Qiurui announced loudly with a smile.
"Oh! It's finished."
"It's finished, you can rest now."
"Another sum of money has arrived."
As Zhang Qiurui finished speaking, the set instantly became lively. Everyone applauded and cheered, their faces filled with joy and relief at having completed a work.
The staff began to pack up the equipment, and the actors hugged each other to celebrate this important moment.
"We'll hold a wrap party at the villa tonight. Everyone, eat and drink to your heart's content." The film was finished, and Zou Wenhuai was also at the villa. He had already arranged people to prepare for the celebration.
"Director Zhang, thank you for your hard work. We didn't plan well enough for the previous incident, and that frightened Director Zhang.
I will personally apologize to Director Zhang at the wrap party." Zou Wenhuai walked over to Zhang Qiurui and said apologetically.
Zhang Qiurui heard this and gently waved his hand. "Mr. Zou, you're too kind. It was just a minor incident. The most important thing is that we can complete the film smoothly. I appreciate your apology. Let's focus on the subsequent editing."
Seeing that Zhang Qiurui didn't take the matter to heart, Zou Wenhuai nodded and smiled, "Director Zhang is right. Director Zhang has finished filming this drama. I wonder if Director Zhang has any other plans next."
Now Zou Wenhuai is more and more optimistic about Zhang Qiurui. He is young, mature, talented, and has a great character. He is a person who can accomplish great things.
His methods of winning people's hearts are also first-class, as if he was born with a temperament that can convince and make people follow him.
"I do have a plan, but let me sort out some things first. When the time comes, I will tell you, Mr. Zou." Zhang Qiurui said with a smile and glanced at Zou Wenhuai.
