He can beat ten of you alone
Seeing that he was still holding a cup of almost cold soy milk, Xie Qi raised his eyebrows and held the lunch box in front of him.
"It seems we're here early."
That night, Zheng Ji Jue, driven by a thirst for knowledge, opened the unfinished novel. The plot and setting were quite good. Looking at the charts, this novel had already become the third-best female novel on Silver Star Literature. Do young girls these days enjoy reading this kind of novel?
He pondered for a moment, then threw the book away in anger.
He was wondering why Xie Qi was so annoying, but few people scolded him. It seemed like they were fans of him, but they were actually crying out for him.
Luo Ming was away, and he had to deal with half of the company's affairs. After two days of going out early and coming back late, the time for the Yinxing Literature Author Conference finally arrived.
Zheng Jicue did not attend the banquet from beginning to end. He went to the Silver Star Literature banquet venue after work in the evening.
It's called an author conference, but it's actually an annual meeting. The Spring Festival is almost here, and since most authors aren't full-time, and some have already started their Spring Festival holidays, there are a lot of people coming.
As soon as Zheng Jicue arrived, someone told the boss of Yinxing Literature that last year's cooperation was very pleasant. So when he heard that he had arrived, the boss of Yinxing kept looking towards the entrance, but his attention was diverted by the people around him.
Men and women gathered together in the banquet hall, and with the soft music playing in the background, it was quite lively and harmonious.
He had excellent eyesight and was tall, so as soon as he came in, he found the Silver Star boss with an excellent perspective.
Zheng Jicue tugged at his collar and walked towards the boss of Yinxing. The heating in here was turned on very high, and he felt a little hot after just a while.
But on the way there, he heard some discordant sounds.
"Have you sold the copyright? I heard they're planning to have Cen Yuan play the male lead. It looks like the investment is quite large."
"Wow, it looks like you're going to explode."
"He's not a good fit. I rejected them as soon as I saw their empty promises. Besides his good looks, he's just so-so. Who knows if he bought that award? After all, someone spent 100 million on him to be the lead actor. How much can an award cost?"
"That's right, he looks so good but also looks so fragile."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. If we spend a ton of money to hire him to act and he turns out to be a piece of crap, acting like a sissy, wouldn't that just disgust me? I won't be happy about it anyway."
Zheng Ji Jue was just passing by, but when he heard this, he turned around and walked towards the person.
The tall figure stood forward, and his stern expression silenced the whispering people.
"I'm 1.89 meters tall."
"Ah?" Several people were confused. What's the point of reporting their height right when they arrived?
"Cen Yuan is about 1.84 meters tall." Zheng Jijue glanced at the group and said disdainfully, "He can beat ten of you by himself."
As an investor in Cen Yuan's previous film, although he was unable to visit the set, he had seen some behind-the-scenes footage. Cen Yuan was agile and easily defeated five thieves at once.
What he said was still conservative. If he only used fists and feet, Cen Yuan would not be afraid of any number of people coming.
Several people looked at each other, no one knew Zheng Jicue, and they were afraid of Zheng Jicue's attitude that was not easy to mess with, so no one spoke first for a while.
Zheng Jicue didn't care what they thought.
The CEO of Silver Star Literature saw him coming from afar and was talking to a few authors on the way. He thought he was interested in them and came over with a smile on his face.
"Boss Zheng, are you here?"
"Yeah." Zheng Ji Jue responded softly, very indifferently.
The authors, who had just been exposed for saying something bad about someone, felt uneasy. When they saw the CEO of Yinxing Literature being so friendly to Zheng Jicue, they felt very uncomfortable.
The CEO of Silver Star Literature was a smart guy, and seeing his cold attitude, he realized that what happened just now might not be what he thought.
His expression remained unchanged as he changed the subject, "I'm so sorry, I've been so busy today that I only became free now. Can we find a place to chat?"
These people just pretended not to see it.
Since the CEO of Silver Star has spoken, Zheng Jicue can't make any trouble here.
"Next time you're about to speak ill of others, especially actors who might appear in your productions, remember to consider the context."
The Silver Star Literature boss was helpless. These authors were relatively well-known online, and unlike the company's employees, they couldn't be disciplined. Mr. Zheng was a partner, so even if the collaboration fell through, he couldn't afford to offend him.
It’s ok that they just fight online, but why are they so unscrupulous offline?
Fortunately, Zheng Ji Jue didn't seem to care much about it.
He quickly smiled apologetically and led the person away.
As soon as they left, a few people chirped quietly.
"Who is this person? Is he related to him? Do you think you are Xie Qi?"
"Exactly. He really thinks he's Xie Qi."
"You know what? He really has some connection to me. Didn't you hear Lao Li call him Mr. Zheng?"
The author of the online article has the word "Internet" in his name. Unless he really doesn't go online, it is impossible that he didn't know Xie Qi through entertainment gossip. So for Zheng Jicue, who was also on the hot search and was exposed by people like Cen Yuan, even if he is not familiar with this face, at least he has heard of his name.
Now no one really spoke.
If this General Zheng is the same General Zheng who was on the hot search with Cen Yuan, then it really is a case of the cricket appearing before the real owner.
Knowing that something unpleasant had happened, the boss of Yinxing did not ask any further questions. He took Zheng Jicue to eat something to fill his stomach. After a few simple greetings, they began to talk about cooperation in the new year.
Zheng Jicue took a rough look at all the novels mentioned in the materials, and expressed his optimism about the works to the president of Yinxing, and promised to sign the contract as soon as possible if it was suitable.
When the CEO of Yinxing heard this, he called the author's editor who was not far away and asked the editor to communicate with the author.
"Mr. Zheng, it seems that this cooperation will be very smooth." The CEO of Silver Star raised his glass to him.
Zheng Jicue had to drive later, so he raised his drink and clinked glasses with him.
Everyone present is a writer and has their own fans. If there is any friction, it will be a big disaster.
Besides, it is not a grand occasion. The participants come from all over the world and most of them are not familiar with each other, so the boss of Yinxing does not advocate urging people to drink on this occasion.
"I wonder if Mr. Zheng has any favorite authors?"
Zheng Jijue shook his head. "I hardly read novels, but Luo Ming really likes them. The original intention of doing the short play was also because I like novels."
Usually, Luo Ming would only read a book if he liked it and asked him to take a look.
Of course, most of the stories he read were melodramatic.
"I see. You two have excellent judgment. Come, I hope our cooperation will achieve even greater success."
After another round of clinking glasses, Zheng Jijue suddenly asked, "Which company does Yinxing usually sell the copyrights for its long-running dramas to?"
The Silver Star boss was surprised: "Is Yuanyue also going to film a long drama?"
“No, it’s just my personal investment.”
"So which ones did Mr. Zheng take a fancy to?"
Zheng Jichou mentioned the names of several novels.
"The copyrights of these articles were sold to either Tianying or Lanfeng."
They are all very popular works, and the CEO of Yinxing knows the status of these novels very well.
Tianying and Lanfeng are giants in the entertainment industry.
Zheng Ji Jue was not surprised.
Talk about another book.
This is a serial article.
I didn’t expect that the CEO of Yinxing was also very familiar with this serialized novel.
"This... the copyright of this gold medal author's work was already being negotiated while it was still being serialized." The Silver Star CEO looked embarrassed.
Zheng Jicue didn't expect it to be like this.
It seems that good things recruit people.
"But we haven't reached an agreement yet. After all, it's still being serialized. Both sides haven't been able to reach an agreement yet and haven't compromised."
The copyright buyer is afraid that the writing will fail and is trying hard to negotiate terms. The author is afraid that the author will not recognize the changes and there is a time limit for the copyright buyout, so he is unwilling to give in.
In short, the talks have broken down several times.
"I wonder who you're talking to?"
The Silver Star CEO didn't say which company it was.
"Can I ask this author for an autograph? Is she here? Luo Ming really liked one of her stories, but it's a pity the copyright has been sold."
It’s a pity that such a melodramatic article cannot be made into the homepage work of their Yuanyue Theater.
The CEO of Yinxing pondered for a moment and asked the author's editor to call the person over.
Qiu Yusese is a quiet-looking female author in her early twenties. She was inexplicably pulled by the editor to the side of the CEO of Yinxing. She felt a little nervous and looked at the editor with her eyes, asking what was going on.
The editor didn't know either, so he could only smile at her reassuringly and stand beside her to make her feel at ease.
The Silver Star CEO said with a smile, "Boss Zheng, this is Qiu Yu Se Se."
"This is Mr. Zheng from the Full Moon Theater."
Qiu Yusese had long been dazzled by the handsome man next to the CEO of Yinxing, but she didn't expect that calling her over had something to do with this handsome man.
As for the Full Moon Theater and the like, I didn't listen to it at all.
Zheng Jicue nodded at her. Just then, the boss of Yinxing asked someone to bring paper and pen. He took it and handed it to Qiu Yusese.
"Hello, can you sign an autograph for my friend?"
"Huh? Oh, okay."
Qiu Yusese took the paper and pen, and paused for a long time under the gaze of a group of people without writing anything.
"His name is Luo Ming."
With a few swipes, Qiu Yu Se Se finished signing.
When she returned it to Zheng Jicue, the CEO of Yinxing looked at her with a smile, and the editor also kept smiling. It felt weird.
Suddenly, Qiu Yusese, who was socially anxious and confused, just wanted to leave quickly.
Unexpectedly, the handsome guy spoke again.
"Excuse me, is there any reason you didn't sign the copyright for the serialized "Becoming a God"?"
After hearing "Becoming a God", Qiu Yusese looked at the editor, the editor looked at the boss, and the boss was still smiling.
Qiu Yuse didn't know whether to say it or not.
The Silver Star CEO sighed, "It's nothing more than a matter of adaptation and casting."
Zheng Jijue: "'Becoming a God' is a very good work. If it is adapted well, it will definitely be a hit drama."
Silver Star CEO: "Many works say this, but the results are too disappointing. When there is no shortage of money, this is also the concern of most authors."
Qiu Yusese suddenly asked, "Hello, which company are you from? Are you also looking to buy the copyright for 'Becoming a God'?"
Compared to Qiu Yusese who knew nothing about Zheng Jijue, the editor at least knew him better because of the cooperation between Yinxing and Jinyue.
She introduced herself to Qiu Yusese: "This is Mr. Zheng from the Full Moon Theater. The Full Moon Theater is currently the most popular short play platform."
Just the two words "short play" can make everything clear.
"Short play?" Qiu Yusese frowned when she heard that.
To be honest, her impression of the skit was just average.
“I didn’t plan on making it into a skit.”
Qiu Yusese was still very skeptical. Those who could make short dramas might not be able to make long dramas.
"I didn't plan to have anyone from my company take charge of the filming."
Even the Silver Star CEO was surprised. "Is President Zheng just investing?"
Zheng Jijue nodded. "Let professionals handle professional matters. I know several well-known producers in the entertainment industry who have produced many hit dramas and award-winning films."
"Then who do you think is suitable to play the male lead?" Qiu Yusese asked one of the questions she cared about most.
"Cen Yuan."
