The two of them solemnly added each other's WeChat and then exchanged their mobile phone numbers.
Just as they were about to get down to business, Xu Jie suddenly burst into tears, "Wow! This is so touching, so touching! Master Shen Si, I will never urge you to update again!!"
Gentle; “…”
Chen Sisi; “…”
The two of them had an expression of "Are you okay?" on their faces, and silently complained in their hearts that their reaction time was too slow!
Wen Wan quickly reached out and took a few tissues from the table, and helplessly went to wipe Xu Jie's tears.
After finally calming the man down, Wen Wan continued to ask her own questions, "Did you want me to play this role from the beginning? Why didn't you contact me directly, but chose to hold an open audition?"
Chen Sisi's face wrinkled into a bun as she typed in distress, "Wuwuwu, there's no other reason except that I'm too poor. I'm afraid I can't afford your salary, so I don't dare contact you privately."
"Huh?" Wen Wan hadn't expected such a refreshingly unconventional reason. After careful consideration, she asked, "Does the author have to pay for a film or TV adaptation? Which company did you sell the copyright to? Why are you so stingy?"
Chen Sisi quickly shook her head and typed on her phone, "It's not what you think. Many companies wanted to buy the film and television rights to 'Jiang Hu Feng Yu', but I didn't agree to any of them, so the rights are still in my hands."
Wen Wan couldn't help but frown when she heard this, and asked in confusion, "Why not sell it? If a big company provided the funding, the actors would have more choices, not to mention other aspects."
Chen Sisi thought about it carefully and then said, "I understand what you said, but if I sell the copyright, the subsequent filming will have nothing to do with me. These days, traffic is king. They may not consider whether the role is suitable or not, and will only choose actors based on whether the artist is popular or not."
"And I already have my favorite cast in mind. Although... I don't think I can hire them, but 'The Storm Riders' is my hard work, and I don't want it to be ruined and turned into something weird."
"So I decided to pay for the filming myself, but our website also helped with some investment. I knew that this would leave the crew very poor, but I could choose the actors and change the script to my liking, and I could restore most of the scenes."
"I know it's really hard to turn 'The Legend of Jiang Hu' into a TV series on my own, but I just want to give it a try. Who knows, maybe I'll succeed?"
After hearing what Chen Sisi said, Wen Wan finally understood. No wonder there was no heat at all when the audition news was announced. Without a company to market it, there would of course be no heat.
She pursed her lips, thinking silently, and after a while she uttered four meaningful words, "I understand."
"The president of Starlight is my biological brother. You should know this, right? If you trust me, you can consider working with us at Starlight. I can have him invest, and then help you find a good director and production team."
"But don't worry, we won't be like other companies that arbitrarily change the original work and randomly choose actors. Your right to participate is absolutely guaranteed, and it can be added to the contract when the time comes."
After Chen Sisi understood what she said, she lowered her head thoughtfully.
Wen Wan was afraid that she would be embarrassed to refuse, so she stretched out her finger and poked her, then said: "Just make your own decision. There is no need to be embarrassed to refuse. If you are willing, you are willing. If you are not willing, you are not willing."
Chen Sisi looked at her without saying a word. After a while, she suddenly reached out and hugged her, then silently shed tears.
"You...why are you crying?" Wen Wan felt the wetness on her neck and quickly reached out to pull her out of his arms.
Seeing her tearful face, he quickly reached out to grab a tissue from the table, frantically wiped her face, and said soothingly: "Don't cry, if you don't want to sell it, then don't sell it, it doesn't matter to me."
Chen Sisi pursed her lips and shook her head, then quickly typed on her phone: "No, I'm not crying because of this."
Wen Wan was completely confused by this. She scratched her head and asked, puzzled, "Why is that? If you have any difficulties, just tell me. Why are you crying?"
"No, I'm just so touched. You're so nice to me! But because of this, I don't know whether I should agree or not. What if this drama flopped and you lost money?" Chen Sisi sniffed and told him all her thoughts.
After reading it, Wen Wan was at a loss for words. "What's going on in your little head? How could you have such weird ideas? Can you please not be so pessimistic about things?"
"I'm not planning to let my brother invest in you just for your sake. I just think this project has very good profit prospects, so I want to buy the copyright and invest!"
Chen Sisi still couldn't believe it, "Really?"
"Of course it's true!" Wen Wan nodded and answered straightforwardly, then asked speculatively: "If I'm not mistaken, the cast you like must include my brother Zhou and Zhizhi and the others, right?"
Chen Sisi: "...How did you know?"
"What's so hard about that? You know it without even thinking!" Wen Wan replied nonchalantly, then added proudly, "Besides us, Xingguang, which company is capable enough to bring them all together?"
Chen Sisi: “…”
Wow, this sentence really hit the nail on the head. The cast she had always dreamed of could only be put together by Wen Wan, and no one else could do it.
Let’s not talk about the people from fws for now. Zhou Ziheng alone is enough to make things difficult for him. After all, he is now famous for accepting dramas based on his personal preferences. As long as he doesn’t like the story, it will be useless no matter how much money he is paid!
After a long silence, she promised seriously, "Okay, I'm willing to sell the copyright to Starlight. I will definitely write a good script and will definitely not let this show flop!"
When Wen Wan heard this, she smiled and raised her hand, then motioned for her to follow suit.
Bewildered, Chen Sisi imitated her and raised her hand. The next second, Wen Wan vigorously high-fived her and said happily, "Let's join forces! 'Jiang Hu Feng Yu' is sure to be a hit!"
Chen Sisi wasn't as happy as Wen Wan. Instead, she covered her red palms with her hands, wanting to cry. Oh my god! The super-strong girl really didn't lie to her! This hurts too much!
Her cheeks puffed up with anger, and she held out her palm in front of Wen Wan in an accusing manner, then used her other hand to type a voice message, "Are you going to kill me? Are you going to kill me? My hand is injured, and I can't write the manuscript!"
Wen Wan: “…”
Although she had used a bit too much strength, it was definitely not to the point where she couldn't write the manuscript. This person was clearly trying to delay the update, and he even dared to touch her! It was really too much!
