Chapter 27 Novel Publishing Negotiation
Following director Xue Xiaolu's announcement, Zhou Xia relaxed, and the others were a little bit disappointed.

But he still congratulated him very politely, and left the classroom after saying goodbye, but the coat of arms ignored him, and left after saying goodbye to Li Lianjie and others.

Zhou Xia could only smile in embarrassment, and when everyone left the classroom, Deputy Director Gong Chun stayed to explain some things to him.

"Zhou Xia, if you train here for another three days, someone will come to pick you up and return to the imperial capital. Then they will sign a contract with you, and you can take a day off to deal with private matters. On August [-]st, we will head to Qingdao."

"Director, but I haven't said hello to the school yet. You also know that we have to ask the school for permission before we go out to accept plays before the students' junior internships." Zhou Xia hurriedly reminded.

"It's okay, don't worry about it. Director Xue Xiaolu has already talked to your head teacher, teacher Xu Qian, and the department has also agreed, and this time, the head teacher of the 07 form, teacher Zhou Bing, participated in the creation. We all know the school's regulations. , I've dealt with it for you, so you don't have to worry about it." Gong Chun explained with a smile.

"That's good, thank you Palace Director."

After Gong Chun left, Zhou Xia was the only one left in the Special Education Institute, and the staff who took care of them had all left.

On August 27st, he officially started to go to Qingdao. Today is July [-]th. In four days, he will officially start filming his first movie!

Zhou Xia became a little excited, and got in close contact with the prototype Yang Tao and other children more seriously, observed them carefully, and thought about their various behavior patterns.

At the audition in the afternoon, he had already contributed his best performance.

But he also knew that it was by no means his limit, he didn't know what was missing, but he just felt that it was a little short.

Others can't see it, but he knows it well. When he won the Golden Rooster Best Actor in his previous life, he acted as an ordinary teacher in a mountainous area. In that performance, he once felt like his soul was out of his body.

That was his best performance. At that time, he had already gone out of his body and fully integrated into the shaping of the characters. Every gesture, every move, every look, and every sound were all from the mountain village teacher, not the actor Zhou Xia, but This time he didn't do that.

This shows that he has not fully integrated into the character creation!

There are only three days left, and he must find that feeling as soon as possible.

In a blink of an eye, it was more than seven o'clock in the evening, and when he returned to the empty dormitory, Zhou Xia felt a little depressed. He still didn't find that feeling. He took out his mobile phone from under the pillow and found that there were seven or eight missed calls, all of which were from the same phone number. Unknown number, opened QQ, found a message from Lu Jinbo.

Zhou Xia couldn't help smiling, knowing what was going on, she called back the phone.

"Hi, hello, it's Zhou Xia. If you don't call, I'm going to call the police." Lu Jinbo's joking voice came from the phone.

"Hehe, I have a job during the day, so I can't bring my mobile phone."

Zhou Xia explained, and then said: "Hi Brother Lu, I believe you should know that I am a student of the Film Academy. I don't want to hide it from you. I am experiencing life in Pinggu. I don't have much time. I will participate in this film soon." It takes a month or two to join the group for filming, and I really don't have much time to take care of the book.

I know a little about who you are, and I'll be frank.Except for the online serialization and physical publishing, I will not sell other film and television adaptations.If you can accept this agreement, we will continue to talk, if not, I will not say more, and we will cooperate again when we have the opportunity. "

"Hehe, my brother is really quick to talk. Since you call me Brother Lu, don't be fooled. Why don't you, it sounds awkward."

It was the first time for Lu Jinbo to come into contact with such a direct author. He was a little startled, and said with a smile, "Since you are so direct, brother, then I won't beat around the bush. Wanrong Books also wants to serialize the Internet. But I won’t give you too much, and I believe you may not agree. What we want more is the physical copyright of your two novels. Do you have any requirements for physical publishing?”

"Now the mainstream is the royalties. Of course, I get more money this way, but I have heard of Brother Lu's name. If Brother Lu is willing to push me, I can transfer the benefits. I only get the basic remuneration plus the remuneration for the number of copies. Let Brother Lu Help me publish novels. You know who I am, and I don’t brag about my appearance. You can search for it. These will definitely help sales, and it will continue with my acting career, so the copyright of physical publishing I won't sell it all at once."

"Well, this is understandable. I have also read your information in detail. The top student in the 08 form of the Film Academy is handsome and talented. It is reasonable for you to think about the long-term. I am willing to help you realize your dream. Since So, let's talk about the agency publishing of your two novels.

"Okay, since this is the case, let me introduce the situation of my two books to Brother Lu first."

Zhou Xia was very happy when he heard Lu Jinbo's agreement. He was also a professional in his previous life, so he started to talk about it in detail: "My two books, "You at the Same Table" have been completed, with a total of more than 23 words. "Prince Princess" has about 6000 words, and now there are 50 manuscripts in deposit. I don't know which one or both of Brother Lu would like."

"It's the first time we're working together. It's a process of getting to know each other. Well... I just want "You at the Same Table" for the time being. After all, you have finished the book. I don't know if my brother can send me the manuscript. Look, and then we'll talk about base pay and first print runs, what do you think?"

"This, I only have the electronic version here."

Zhou Xia hesitated. He knew a little about Lu Jinbo's personality. Although it was a rumor on the Internet, it was still too risky to give the electronic version of the manuscript to the other party. If the cooperation failed, the other party would leak all the manuscripts. The copyright is not afraid The other party snatches it, but there will definitely be economic losses.

"Is that so, brother, can you tell me the story briefly, or send me the ending?" Lu Jinbo asked tentatively again.

"It's like this. With Lu Ge's professional vision, you can guess the general direction of the story. My book is nothing more than sentimental youth, nostalgia for school, and reminiscence of love. The story has nothing to say. As for the ending, it is an open ending. I can send it to you."

Zhou Xia thought for a while, and sent Lu Jinbo the ending of the manuscript saved on the phone.

Lu Jinbo was in front of the computer, opened QQ to read it, and said: "Don't hang up, brother, just give me a few minutes."

"Okay, I'll wait."

Zhou Xia promised that what he sent was only the two chapters of the ending of the novel, involving two endings, a total of about [-] words.

About 5 minutes later, Lu Jinbo's excited voice rang on the phone.

"Brother, you are really unexpected! When you ended, you only revealed the time when the story happened, and it was in July 2010. Isn't that the future? In this way, your two endings, whether it is Resisting the reality and robbing marriage, or accepting the reality and letting go, are not fixed, it is all up to the reader to choose, so that it will not cause dissatisfaction of the other party, and this will also give everyone an inspiration and warning, don't wait until love and youth are gone, I just want to save it, and I have to hold on to all the beautiful things in the moment and cherish them. Great, I like your story structure and ending method so much!"

"Hehe, I'm relieved to have Brother Lu's evaluation."

Zhou Xia smiled slightly and said that his work experience in his previous life made him understand that the story of the movie "You at the Same Table" is superficial and not deep enough, and the ending is even more unflattering.

Even if he rewrites and uses more delicate brushwork to make the sense of the times stronger and readers more immersive, he still cannot make the story profound, so it is an inevitable choice to add some elements through some additional means.

He set the start time of the story in the future, and the ending of the story is an open choice in an inspiring way, so that the novel, which was originally only six or seven points, has been raised to more than eight points.

"Hehe, my little brother is too modest. You are only 19 years old this year. It is really not easy to think of such a clever and clever method. I am more confident in your work now. Let's talk about the remuneration next. I don’t know what the little brother thinks about the standard manuscript remuneration?”
