Chapter 88: Public revenge for personal vengeance

Shen Shilang couldn't help but ask: "Then did you contact me through WeChat?"

"It's not like what you said. There is a special thing for it." Su Jinshi thought it was a bit troublesome to explain the App.

"Game?" Shen Shilang just heard Mo Jizong say this. He was just a character in a game.

"It's not a game, it's not a game." Su Jinshi couldn't control himself and explained excitedly.

The driver in front couldn't help but take a look through the rearview mirror.

I could tell from what this girl said just now that there was something strange about it.

Su Jinshi didn't care what the driver thought. They didn't know each other anyway, so they would go their separate ways after finishing this order.

"This is just a bridge that allows us to meet and communicate." Su Jinshi said, "That Mo Jizong knows nothing and thinks I'm playing a game."

At this time, the car stopped outside the gate of Su Jinshi's community.

Su Jinshi got out of the car and continued to explain to Shen Shilang: "In the world I live in, technology is not advanced enough to make a game character so real that it can talk to the player like flesh and blood. No matter what the player says, he can give normal feedback in real time."

"Here, the characters in the game are all pre-set. Players can trigger different answers based on the keywords they say. As long as the keywords are correct, the answers are similar. And not every sentence has an audio, most of the answers are in text."

"This is the difference between the game and reality." Su Jinshi said.

Shen Shilang was just curious whether the games in Su Jinshi's world could be so good, but he never thought that he was in the game.

Therefore, Shen Shilang smiled and nodded, "I know, because I am real, I never doubt it, so I don't think you are playing games. Just like we analyzed before, we just live in two different worlds."

Next, Quan Guanran and Wei Zhaoxian led their troops together to fight the enemy.

Shen Shilang was recuperating in his tent, as he said, although no one from the Northwest Army came to care for him.

But Quan Guanran sent someone to take good care of Shen Shilang.

With the medicine provided by Su Jinshi, Shen Shilang recovered better day by day.

A week later, Su Jinshi received a WeChat message from Qingyou as expected.

Qingyou: "Jinshi, your manuscript was not approved by Sheng Xiao."

Su Jinshi was not surprised when he received the news. He just smiled indifferently.

Su Jinshi: "Well, actually I'm prepared for the possibility that they won't approve it. What about other companies? Are there any companies interested in my book?"

Qingyou: "Of course there is. Gravity Media, which has cooperated with us several times, read the first three episodes you wrote and was very interested, but the conditions they offered are similar to before. You are already a popular screenwriter. If they don't raise the price, we don't want to cooperate with them."

Qingyou: "In addition, Shanpin Technology is also starting to produce short dramas by themselves. They have the advantage of the platform. The Shanpin app itself is the most important platform for broadcasting short dramas. They are now making and broadcasting by themselves, saving the commission from the platform. Of course, they will still take a commission from us, but their own costs are much lower than other companies that have to spend more money to join the platform. And like Shengxiao Media, they have just entered the short drama industry, so they must offer a considerable profit to attract cooperation."

Qingyou: "So this time I'm actually more optimistic about Shanpin. But Shanpin didn't release any information before, and we talked to Sheng Xiao first, so if Sheng Xiao approves, I also want to see the situation on Shanpin first, compare the two sides and then make a decision."

Qingyou: "Now Sheng Xiao didn't pass, and Shanpin has already taken a fancy to your book, and the conditions it offers are much better than those of Yinli, so we want to discuss the cooperation method with Shanpin in detail, including how much score your book should reach and how much more percentage of the money we can give you."

Su Jinshi: "Okay, if you need me to talk, call me anytime."

Qingyou: “No problem.”

Qingyou added, "I don't know what Sheng Xiao is thinking. They told us that your script doesn't quite fit their current positioning."

Qingyou couldn't help but complain: "I want to ask what their positioning is. Even your script doesn't match it. The plot of your short drama has always been ahead of the market. It is a market trendsetter. Every time your drama comes out and becomes a hit, a large number of followers will follow. If they had done any research, they would know."

Su Jinshi: "It's a new company. We feel that there is nothing like this on the market right now. We don't dare to take risks. I understand."

Qingyou: "Then they can only follow others and eat leftovers."

Su Jinshi smiled and said, "Well, you probably didn't plan to choose them anyway."

Qingyou: "Even though that's the case, I'm still angry."

Su Jinshi: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. I will write well and try to get another good result, so that they will regret it."

Qingyou: “Yes, yes, yes.”

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Su Jinshi thought of something else: "Oh, by the way, there is something you need to ask the company to pay attention to for me."

Qingyou: “What’s the matter?”

Su Jinshi: "Sheng Xiao didn't approve my script, but I've shown them the outline, characters, and the first three episodes. Although the outline isn't detailed, the overall plot trend is there. I don't want to speculate about them with bad intentions. But after all, their company has just entered the short video industry, and we've never worked together before, so I don't know much about their practices or reputation."

Su Jinshi: "It would be best if they follow the rules, but we'd better be prepared for them not to follow the rules."

Qingyou: "You mean, if this drama becomes a hit, or if they think this script is good but don't approve it, they are actually going to find a cheaper screenwriter to continue the series based on your outline and the first three episodes?"

Qingyou’s first reaction was that Sheng Xiao would not do such a thing that would ruin his reputation.

Once this happens, Sheng Xiao’s reputation in the industry will be ruined.

Who would dare to cooperate with them easily in the future?

But then he remembered that Su Jinshi and the manager in charge, Mo Jizong, knew each other.

Maybe Su Jinshi knew what kind of person Mo Jizong was, so he gave this reminder.

Qingyou said: "I understand. I will tell the editor-in-chief and we will continue to follow up."

When Qingyou mentioned this to the editor-in-chief, the editor-in-chief nodded and said, "The short drama industry is quite popular now, and many new companies have come in. Anything can happen. Moreover, capital is profit-driven. Even if the other party really did this, their bad reputation in the industry will only be temporary."
