Chapter 460 Sleeping Together, No Stealing
For Li Luo, although Yuan Wanqing is now a big star, Li Luo himself doesn't have much feeling about her.

On the one hand, she is Yan Zhusheng’s mother, and on the other hand, the song that made Yuan Wanqing famous was provided by Li Luo.

Therefore, when looking at Yuan Wanqing, Li Luo rarely uses the perspective of a passerby looking at a celebrity.

But Li Xiang and Chen Lu are different.

Although they also knew Yan Zhusheng and knew that she was Yuan Wanqing's daughter.

But after all, I had only seen him during the Chinese New Year last year, so I'm not that familiar with him.

And Yuan Wanqing had only been seen on TV.

As a result, at this time, they suddenly met Yuan Wanqing in person, which was obviously much more shocking to Chen Lu and Li Xiang.

Yuan Wanqing herself was not a pushy person. After Chen Lu asked for her autograph, Li Xiang also went over reluctantly. Yuan Wanqing signed for him, and they even took a photo together at the end.

Looking at the excited Chen Lu and Li Xiang, Li Luo also smiled.

After asking Li Xiang to help him move his luggage to the third floor, Li Luo followed Ying Chanxi and the others and went to Ying Zhicheng's house next door.

Ying Chanxi took Yan Zhusheng to the third floor, but this time he did not arrange a separate bedroom for Yan Zhusheng. Instead, he pulled Yan Zhusheng directly into his room.

"Zhu Sheng, come sleep with me during these few days during the New Year holidays." Ying Chanxi invited enthusiastically and walked in directly pulling Yan Zhusheng's suitcase.

Yan Zhusheng was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a moment. After Ying Chanxi dragged her suitcase in, it would be inappropriate for Yan Zhusheng to refuse.

So she had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Ying Chanxi was naturally very satisfied with this.

The main point is that everyone sleeps together and no one is allowed to sneak around.

……

In the afternoon, Li Luo's cousin Chen Sijia came back with her aunt.

After seeing Yuan Wanqing's signature on the clothes that Chen Lu was showing off, Chen Sijia blushed slightly and ran to the next door to ask Yuan Wanqing for an autograph, then ran back with a happy face.

At dinner time, Yuan Wanqing followed Ying Zhicheng to the second floor of Li Luo's house and sat down.

Everyone was a little nervous when they saw Yuan Wanqing for the first time.

However, after seeing that Yuan Wanqing was just like an ordinary person, they relaxed after three rounds of drinks.

While Li Xiang was eating, he would glance at Li Luo from time to time.

He saw Li Luo picking up food for Yan Zhusheng, and Ying Chanxi picked up food for Li Luo.

Let’s look at Ying Zhicheng and Yuan Wanqing. As the parents of Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng, whenever they talked about Li Luo at the dinner table, they always praised him.

This kind of treatment made Li Xiang secretly shocked. He thought, could it be possible that his uncle could really turn novels into reality?
Leaving aside Xu Youyu's side, and just looking at Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng, it seems that neither the two girls themselves nor their parents seem to have any major objections.

Li Xiang looked at the small details of these scenes and couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.

When he read "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" before, he thought it would be great if the book could be made into a TV series in the future.

But now it seems, what's the point of filming a TV series?
Wouldn't it be better to just watch the live reality show?
This is much more exciting and thrilling than what is written in the book!
I just don’t know if my uncles and aunts know that their uncle has slept with several girls?

Li Xiang recalled the scene he had seen during last year's Chinese New Year and suddenly fell into deep thought.

……

After dinner, several families gathered on the sofa in the living room to chat.

Lin Xiuhong pulled Yuan Wanqing, called Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng, and asked Li Luo and others to help move the mahjong table from the storage room and start playing mahjong.

When Li Luo returned to the sofa, Ying Zhicheng had just taken the cigarette handed to him by Li Guohong, lit it, took a puff, and said to Li Luo: "Have you received any news about the film and television copyright of "Little Joy"?"

"Got it." Li Luo nodded. "Wenyue Group communicated with me, and I asked the lawyer to follow up on the progress, but the main negotiations are still controlled by them."

"I met with a director before. He thought your book would be easy to adapt and wanted to give it a try." Ying Zhicheng said, "He said he had met you."

"Oh, Director Wang Jun?" Li Luo recalled, "I met him once before at the annual meeting."

"Yeah." Ying Zhicheng nodded and said, "His level in plot is average, but his level of controlling the plot shooting is quite high. I think he will be more suitable for you."

This is true.

After all, Li Luo's book "Little Joy" is not like the original work that only provides a framework and main line, but is completely supplemented and enriched according to the plot of the TV series.

If a director with his own ideas about the plot came and changed it beyond recognition during filming, Li Luo would find it hard to accept.

On the contrary, directors like Wang Jun are quite suitable for Li Luo.

Many times, creation and basic skills are two different things.

It's like a person with a very unique style of writing, but he may not be able to write a good story, at most he can write a beautiful article. In the same way, if a cartoonist is only good at drawing style and painting skills, he may not be able to draw a good-looking comic, he can only draw good-looking characters and scenery.

The same is true for directors.

The lighting, angles, scene layout, and everything else can be done to the best of their ability, but that doesn't mean you can make a good-looking movie.

A good story is the most important thing.

Since we are talking about the director, Ying Zhicheng's intention is actually quite clear. No matter how much Wenyue Group offers, he is determined to get it.

Fortunately, Huayue Film and Television is not a small fry. It is quite famous in Qianjiang Province and is considered a first-tier film and television company nationwide.

In terms of cooperation on novel and film and television copyrights, although we had no experience in adapting male-oriented online novels before, we have adapted female-oriented online novels several times.

When Ying Zhicheng led the team to negotiate with the copyright department of Wenyue Group, because it was Li Luo's book, half of the profits would go into Li Luo's pocket.

The one who actually paid for the copyright was Huayue Film and Television Company, not Ying Zhicheng himself.

Therefore, in terms of lowering the price, Ying Zhicheng did not push too hard. He only lowered the price from 1500 million offered by Wenyue Group to 1000 million. The subsequent transaction price will most likely be within this range.

Li Luo doesn't care much about this.

Although the final quotation may fluctuate, it may affect his millions of profits, but these millions are actually just the price of one car for Li Guohong.

According to what the platinum boss said before, the most important thing about the first book that sells the copyright is the act of selling it.

Once you successfully sell a film or television copyright, you will become a higher priority author within Wenyue Group or other film and television companies.

If Li Luo wants to sell the film and television rights to another book in the future, the film and television company’s current funds are only enough to buy one copy.

Then the probability of it choosing Li Luo is much higher than those authors who have never sold the copyright.

"My current plan is to negotiate this project after the Chinese New Year, by April at the latest."

After Ying Zhicheng finished talking about the above, he continued, "Two small shareholders of Huayue Film and Television have withdrawn this year, and they are not optimistic about the future film and television industry."

"If Huayue Film and Television doesn't make some progress in the future, it will become increasingly difficult for the company to survive."

"After the film and television copyright contract was signed before April, I immediately handed over to director Wang Jun and started casting."

"We'll start shooting during the summer vacation and try to finish before National Day."

"After going through various procedures, it will probably be broadcast around the time of next year's college entrance examination."

Hearing this, Li Luo was stunned for a moment: "Around next year's college entrance examination... Isn't that our college entrance examination?"

"Yes." Ying Zhicheng smiled, "It just happened to coincide with your college entrance examination, so it's quite appropriate."

"Indeed." Li Luo laughed and thought this time arrangement was quite interesting.

But he didn't expect that Ying Zhicheng was so efficient.

Normally, it is normal for a novel's film and television rights to take three to five years from being sold to being filmed and then broadcast.

There are only a few people like Ying Zhicheng who try to complete the entire process within two years.

There are even some film and television works that may not be broadcast after they are filmed for various reasons.

Some actors may not see their work broadcast on the screen until one or two years later after they finish performing a work.

All in all, various situations are very common.

Ying Zhicheng did this purely because he needed results.

In recent times, Huayue Film and Television, in addition to preparing for "Little Joy", has also been discussing another female-oriented novel "Blue Sky and Yellow Spring", which is written by the same author as the previous "Yaochi Fairyland".

Although the reputation of "Yao Chi Fairyland" on the Internet is average, it has a good reputation among the fan community and has made a lot of money before.

Now that the projects of the two TV series have been launched simultaneously, it can be regarded as an insurance policy that Ying Zhicheng has given himself.

There are only about two years left before the deadline agreed upon by him and the board of directors.

If he fails to do well again, he will probably have to move on from his position as general manager.

"Speaking of which, Uncle Ying." After listening to Ying Zhicheng's words, Li Luo suddenly thought of a possibility and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Will Huayue Films accept cooperative development?"

"What do you mean?" Ying Zhicheng was stunned.

"What is your budget for this drama?"

"About 30 or 40 million, not a lot. After all, it's an urban drama, so the cost is not high."

"Can I invest part of it?" Li Luo raised his eyebrows and asked with some interest, "In the name of rekindling culture."
