Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 2 Heipi and Paner

For publishing fees, Li Chen asked for one million, after tax!
The editor there was stunned and said it was impossible.

In 02, the publishing fee for a novel for a newbie like him was only around tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

However, after Li Chen's next sentence, the other party hesitated again.

The two novels together made one million.

To Our Youth is almost finished serializing.

The click-through rate remains high.

The other side replied that they needed to think about it, and Li Chen was not in a hurry.

He is aware of the current click-through rates and future market for these two novels.

The other party will definitely not lose out on one million.

This book has not become a big hit yet, but it is showing signs of becoming a hit.

The next day, the other party called again.

As expected, the other party agreed.

But we also need to include audiobook licensing, as well as the comic and movie adaptation rights.

After some tug of war, both sides took a step back.

In addition to the film adaptation rights and shooting rights of novels, other audiobook and comic adaptation rights, etc., were all sold to the other party at once.

Both sides gained something.

On the third working day after signing the contract, there was an extra 1000 yuan in front of the several hundred yuan balance in Li Chen’s bank card.

Li Chen was in a good mood and decided to take his mother on a spontaneous trip during the summer vacation.

A cruise to Hong Kong and Macau.

I don't believe that my son can make money just by typing on the computer.

It was not until her son took out 50,000 yuan and put it in front of her and showed her the electronic contract that she completely believed it.

Looking at my mother's excited expression, Li Chen felt mixed emotions.

"Mom, thank you for your hard work over the years."

My mother was also somewhat moved, and said nonchalantly: "What's the hard part? When you go to college, I will apply for internal retirement and go to Hainan to accompany your father."

"Yeah, that's what I mean too."

Both mother and son have Hong Kong and Macau Passes. During the Spring Festival, they discussed traveling to Hong Kong and Macau, so they applied for the Hong Kong and Macau Passes early.

In February, he also took part in the preliminary examination and several rounds of re-examinations of the directing department of Beijing Film Academy, and his results were pretty good.

Now it all depends on the college entrance examination results.

The mother and son first went to Hainan to visit relatives, then took a ferry to Guangzhou. It was already June 25th when they arrived at Hong Kong Island.

My college entrance examination score was 558, which was similar to what I estimated.

To enter the directing department of Beijing Film Academy, your academic scores must reach at least 70% of the first-tier score line.

My score is more than enough, and it is likely that I have the highest score among the dozen or so people who were admitted.

Now I am waiting for the admission letter.

The mother and son wandered around Hong Kong Island for two days and then went to Macau Island.

The mother and daughter walked around the Grand Lisboa and felt uncomfortable everywhere.

This feeling didn't disappear until we got out of the bat's mouth.

Wherever you go, people are talking about the World Cup.

June 30th is the World Cup final, Brazil vs. Germany.

No need to think about it, Li Chen still remembers it clearly.

The alien scored twice, and the Samba Army was about to be crowned five-star, but since then, they have never recovered.

But this has nothing to do with him.

When the World Cup just started, Li Chen wanted to buy football lottery.

Although I can’t remember the specific outcome, it is still clear that the Chinese national football team lost all the group matches and got nothing.

He ran to the football lottery shop excitedly, and found that the 02 football lottery was on the market.

There is no football betting or single game score gameplay.

It's just a false alarm, you won't be able to make a fortune even if you have the chance.

Passers-by were talking about it.

"Boss, do you want to place a bet? Ronaldo is sure to score a goal."

Li Chen reached out and pushed away the henchman in front of him: "No, thank you." The henchman recognized Li Chen's mainland accent.

He said persistently: "Boss, we can't come to Aodaowan empty-handed. If we don't try, we will regret it when we return to the mainland."

Li Chen stopped and stared at the henchman with shining eyes: "What did you say?"

The henchman saw that the young man was interested and said hurriedly, "Boss, this is Ao Island. If you come to Ao Island and don't gamble, it's like coming here for nothing."

This guy is right. Although it is not possible in the mainland, isn’t there any way to play sports lottery in Australia?

Li Chen hurriedly asked: "In addition to the goal, can I buy the score of a single game?"

"Of course"

Li Chen said no more, and he and his mother ignored the henchman and went back to the hotel.

The next day, the Macau lottery bettors stared at Li Chen's departing back in amazement.

I sigh in my heart about mainland bosses: they are rich and willful!
"90 Ronaldo scored twice, Australian odds 18.8."

It was already mid-July when I returned to my home in Beijing.

The number in Li Chen’s bank card changed from seven digits to eight digits.

The tax he paid really hurt him, it was higher than the copyright fees for his two novels!

In addition to the change in balance, he also received the admission letter from the Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy as he wished.

Time passed quickly and it was the first day of school.

There are handsome men and beautiful women everywhere in Beijing Film Academy, which is a pleasure to watch.

But think about it, most of them are probably from the acting department, but he is from the directing department.

Not all the directing staff are Chinese. Among the fourteen people, only seven are Chinese, including him.

The others are all foreigners, and their looks can only be described as talented.

After completing the admission procedures, the counselor also encouraged him.

He said that his academic performance was the best in the department and asked him to work hard.

He also joked that his good looks raised the average level of the directing department.

Ha! Li Chen was speechless!

Arrived at the dormitory.

Unexpectedly, the other three had already arrived.

Okay, two are from island countries and one is from Sri Lanka.

The three of them spoke broken Chinese and got to know each other.

Walking around the campus, Li Chen didn't see many familiar faces.

But most of the girls are pretty good-looking. After all, ugly guys would be embarrassed to apply to film academy.

As he was speaking, a man came towards him.

Li Chen wanted to laugh when he saw this person. That person was also carrying luggage, like a migrant worker.

The young man in front of him smiled at him, but he didn't know him and thought his face was painted.

Unconsciously, he wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve. He also smiled and said, "Classmate, what are you laughing at?"

Li Chen restrained his smile and said, "It's okay. Your appearance just now reminded me of a movie."

The man got interested when he heard it, and said self-deprecatingly, "Really? I wanted to learn acting, but my image held me back, so I was assigned to the dubbing class."

"Meet Huang Bo from the dubbing class!"

"Directing Department, Li Chen!"

Huang Bo was very happy to meet Li Chen, and the two exchanged contact information and QQ numbers.

Li Chen was indeed reminded of the classic character "Hei Pi" when he saw Huang Bo

Maybe we can work together in the future, "Stone"!
When I walked out of the school gate, I saw three people getting out of a Mercedes-Benz business car.

There are two women and one man, and the temperament of the two women is impeccable.

A youthful guy wearing a baseball cap, I couldn’t see clearly what he looked like.

Although he is a bit old, his temperament and figure show that he is an artist.

As for the man, it’s a bit hard to describe him. He should be in his 40s or 50s.

But if you can drive a Mercedes, you are at least rich.

In a flash, the girl raised her head.

Li Chen was stunned. He finally knew who the baseball cap belonged to: Zhao Paner.
