Xiao Ran: Honey, may I ask if you are that little fox?
Honestly, it's really exciting for an ordinary person like me to suddenly meet a top celebrity, who even bought my book.
Xiao Ran felt like he was dreaming.
The film crew had already wrapped up work, and Yang Mi was sitting in her room with her legs crossed, leisurely eating her diet meal, when her phone rang.
Her fair, slender hand casually picked up the phone and opened WeChat.
After seeing who sent the message, her expression changed completely, and she couldn't help but smile.
Put down your chopsticks right now.
Her beautiful legs were crossed, and she started playing on her phone with a serious expression.
Yang Mi: What are you saying? Elementary school students won't understand.
When I urged him to update, he sent author's notes three or five times, hoping that I, the kid who stole my parents' phone to give rewards, would turn back from the wrong path!
Seeing her reply, Xiao Ran became even more certain that Yang Mi was that little fox!
To my surprise, she was still reading her own book. This was truly unexpected.
Xiao Ran: Who said that about you? Tell me and I'll teach them a lesson!
You know, she's my current boss!
Employees must be polite when speaking to their boss!
Especially since he's a big boss!
Yang Mi: Let's get down to business. I was originally planning to buy it for 3.6 million, but because 100,000 was given as a tip, I'll deduct 100,000 from that for you. I think that's reasonable.
Xiao Ran: ......
No business is without its deceit!
The bosses are all stingy!
Despite his complaints, he was still very grateful.
After all, this price is about 400,000 more than before, which is quite a surprise.
Who would complain about having too much money?
Xiao Ran replied with an extremely serious attitude: Okay, Sister Mi, no problem.
Yang Mi: By the way, don't tell anyone about this. After you finish talking, just say that someone from Jiaxing came to you.
She's practically snatched someone away from Director Zhang; if she makes a big fuss about it, it'll definitely damage their relationship.
She's incredibly shrewd.
Xiao Ran: Understood!
Yang Mi: And how many tens of thousands of words do you plan to write for this book?
Because of filming, I've read at least several hundred, if not thousands, of scripts over the years.
So I understand the plot a little bit, and if I continue writing in the same way as Xiao Ran, I can easily write another 600,000 words.
That is to say, one million words!
She spent 3.5 million to buy his 1 million words, not 400,000!
As for why I bought it so early, instead of waiting until he finished writing it?
That was entirely because they were afraid Ai Qi would do something.
As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm, and the late bird suffers the consequences!
Opportunities never wait for anyone.
Seize every opportunity; that's her motto in life!
Seeing that his boss was asking about serious matters, Xiao Ran's expression also became serious.
He replied earnestly: The editor should have sent you the outline and detailed table of contents for this book. It was written to be one million words, though it could also be one million one hundred thousand, since word count is not easy to estimate precisely.
Sometimes, a plot that I originally planned to finish in two thousand words ends up being five thousand words long when I look back after writing this and that.
This is something you can't control.
Hearing him say that, Yang Mi felt more at ease.
Just as I expected, it seems that the three million yuan was not wasted.
However, Xiao Ran still didn't quite understand and couldn't help but ask another question.
Xiao Ran: If I may ask a question, why do people like to buy the rights to adapt books into novels so much these days? Wouldn't it be better to just hire a screenwriter to write a script?
He genuinely couldn't understand why he, a perfectly good author, was selling his copyrights one after another. Had screenwriters run out of ideas these days?
That can't be!
Looking at the message he sent, Yang Mi was too lazy to type it back.
After all, it would take a long time to explain this.
She cleared her throat and put the phone's microphone to her mouth. "Because there are many new actors now. Scripts and books are different. Actors need to figure out the characters themselves and study their personalities and thoughts."
"But the descriptions in the book are very detailed, so there's no need to guess. It includes not only scene descriptions and costume descriptions, but also psychological descriptions and action descriptions. This greatly reduces the difficulty for new actors. They just need to follow the rules and read the book carefully, and everything will be solved."
This is indeed a very good way to promote newcomers.
However, I only decided to give it a try after seeing Director Zhang do it.
Hearing Tai's answer, Xiao Ran finally understood.
I see!
Great, money is falling from the sky again!
Xiao Ran replied decisively: Thank you, Sister Mi. I will prepare a copy of my detailed outline and general outline and bring it over when I sign the contract tomorrow. Please take a look when you have time. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, I can make changes.
Even through the screen, Yang Mi could feel Xiao Ran's sincere and earnest attitude.
I couldn't help but smile slightly.
She enjoys dealing with people who are humble, responsible, and easy to talk to.
Yang Mi: No problem!
After replying to Xiao Ran's message, he put his phone aside, picked up his chopsticks, and continued eating!
I have a lot to do tonight!
......
Old Zhang spent the whole afternoon loitering around his classmates, and he heard most of their gossip.
Watching Xiao Ran's trembling figure, Old Zhang sighed and walked over with a look of sympathy.
