There's no way around it; in the entertainment industry, although the salary is high, overtime is a regular occurrence.
While most people work 9 to 5, in their area, working 5 to 9 has almost become the norm.
Liu Min was sitting next to Director Zhang, but she wasn't paying attention to the recording; instead, she was busy reading a novel.
Xiao Ran's book has been updated rapidly lately, with a staggering number of words.
For an author, writing 10,000 words a day is already extremely difficult.
He actually managed to produce nearly 200,000 words in just three or four days.
Now I've seen all the romance scenes, but reading like this is really enjoyable.
He was just grinning foolishly with his head down when Director Zhang caught him red-handed.
Seeing her grinning at her phone, Director Zhang asked curiously, "What, do you have a boyfriend?"
That's the kind of expression you only have when you're in love.
Who would have thought that Liu Min, who is usually so shrewd and capable, would act like this when she falls in love!
It's funny to think about.
Liu Min was taken aback and quickly explained, "I would like to be in a relationship, but I'm so busy every day, who would I date? I'm just reading a novel."
After saying that, she handed her phone to Director Zhang so he could see it and prove that she wasn't lying.
Director Zhang chuckled, "What novel could be so captivating?"
Liu Min is a screenwriter. A novel that can captivate a screenwriter must be a good book!
"Teacher Xiao's new book is like a beautiful Lin Daiyu falling from the sky."
After Liu Min finished speaking, she glanced at the scene and couldn't help but continue, "This Xiao Ran is really talented. I really regret not meeting him sooner."
If they had met earlier, she was certain that Yan Li would have had absolutely no chance!
Hearing her say that, Director Zhang laughed, "From what you're saying, you've fallen for Teacher Xiao, haven't you?"
"Don't even mention it. It's like a flower falling on water, but the stream flowing on indifferently. You saw that video today, didn't you?" Liu Min said, looking disappointed.
She really liked Xiao Ran, but he already had a girlfriend. It just meant they weren't meant to be!
What else can we do?
After all, she wasn't like Yan Li, who was extreme.
Speaking of this, Director Zhang suddenly remembered that he had been busy overseeing the filming all day and hadn't had a chance to ask about Xiao Ran's situation yet.
"Has that matter been resolved?" Director Zhang asked.
I've been so busy that people usually ask me for help, and I deal with each issue as it comes up. Since Liu Min didn't report back to me, I completely forgot about it.
"Hmm, he handled it himself." Liu Min said thoughtfully, "I didn't expect this person to be so capable and efficient."
She knows several authors who all seem aloof but are actually just paper tigers; when faced with real trouble, they instantly become clueless.
Unexpectedly, it only took Xiao Ran an hour from the moment he saw the apology video.
That's definitely not simple.
Hearing her say that, Director Zhang nodded, "It seems she does have some ability."
Not only are they talented, but they are also efficient in handling matters. People like this are well-liked no matter what they do.
The more Director Zhang thinks about it, the more he feels that Xiao Ran is a talented person.
"Yes, and did you know that his ex-girlfriend was actually Yan Li from Yunya Company? How about that, isn't that surprising?"
Upon hearing this, Director Zhang was taken aback. Although Yunya Company couldn't compare to iQiyi, it was still a well-known company in the local area.
Unexpectedly, the boss turned out to be Xiao Ran's ex-wife.
"I really didn't expect it. The Yan Li I remember is quite assertive."
I've met her a few times at dinner parties; she's a strong, independent woman.
Anyway, if she were his wife, he probably wouldn't be able to stand it.
"By the way, let's get down to business. Yunya Company's recent web series haven't been very successful, so I'm not really keen on taking them on..." Liu Min continued.
Originally, it wouldn't have been a bad idea to consider it, but after what happened with Xiao Ran, Liu Min felt that Yan Li's character was a bit questionable.
Instinctively, I wanted to stop working with her even more.
"Look, this area was originally under your jurisdiction too," Director Zhang said with a smile.
"Alright, I'll reject them all first thing tomorrow morning!"
Liu Min couldn't help but be happy as she spoke.
I really despise this kind of bad woman from the bottom of my heart!
Director Zhang glanced at the recording again. "By the way, how's Xiao Ran's new book doing?"
This drama was filmed in just two or three months, and he still has to prepare for the next one. If he writes well, then it's not impossible to continue working together.
Upon hearing this, Liu Min smiled and said, "Let me tell you, it's really amazing, and the results are even more impressive. It's not even on the shelves yet, and it's already number one on the bestseller list. There are already hundreds of thousands of fans reading this book."
After saying that, he continued, "However, it's also possible that the rewards were too high, so the platform recommended it more strongly."
After all, that little fox has already tipped eighty or ninety thousand, which is really not something that the average reader can afford.
It seemed like something was being done behind the scenes.
Upon hearing this, Director Zhang was taken aback. "How much is the tip?"
"I can't remember if it was more than 80,000 or 90,000, but the Silver Alliance players seem to be getting freebies. It's normal for them to get several a day. But it's also possible that they have money and just like to watch."
After all, accounts are private information, and Liu Min really didn't know who this person was.
Director Zhang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "You're really generous! Alright, give me the book title so I can take a look too."
As I get older, no matter how much work I do during the day, I still can't sleep at night. It's a good time to read Xiao Ran's new book tonight.
If it's a good fit, sign a contract right away!
