On the third day of the Lunar New Year this year, the Tao family still followed their old habit and went to the military compound at the foot of Shijing Mountain.

After entering the two-story building of Du Ruolin's house, everyone immediately noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

After asking, I found out that it was Du Feng who bought new year's goods for his family before the Chinese New Year. He spent too much money and Du Ruolin noticed that something was wrong and thought he had done something illegal. After some torture to extract a confession, he found out that his son actually

He retired from the army a long time ago and has been doing business during this period.

This made Du Ruolin so angry that he roared and wanted to break Du Feng's legs.

It's a pity that a daughter cannot be controlled by her mother, and a son cannot be controlled by his father. What's more, now that Du Feng has made money and has strong wings, he is not afraid of his father's threat at all.

In short, during the past few days during the Chinese New Year, the Du family was in a state of turmoil because of this incident.

Even though Du Ruolin was shouting fiercely, the deal was now settled and there was nothing he could do against Du Feng.

So when the Tao family came, they saw that Du Ruolin's face was as bad as if he had been lighting cannons for a day, while Du Feng was leisurely and contented.

Ever since he was little, his father has been dissatisfied with everything he did. Now he has finally succeeded in resisting. The most important thing is that the old man can't do anything to him.

"You'd better restrain yourself, or be careful of uncle whipping you with a belt!" Tao Yumo warned.

Du Feng didn't care, "Am I afraid of him?"

Du Feng was trembling when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him, "Du Feng!"

The muscle memory engraved in his bones made him tremble all over. He turned around and saw his father looking at him with a gloomy expression.

"Dad, what's wrong?" He opened his mouth, his face full of flattery.

"Come here and pour the wine."

"Eh!"

After bragging a few words, his true colors were revealed, and Tao Yumo laughed at his back.

As Du Feng poured wine for his father and elders, he heard Lin Chaoyang comfort his father: "Now that the national policies are open, business is a serious business. Du Feng is motivated, you should be happy."

Du Feng secretly gave Lin Chaoyang a thumbs up, thanking his brother-in-law for speaking up.

Today is different from the past. Lin Chaoyang is already a well-known writer in the domestic literary world. This Spring Festival, movies based on his novels are being released in theaters. His voice in the Tao and Du families is becoming more and more important, and no one can take it lightly.

"Hmph! In the past, when he was in the army, he couldn't change things even if I was watching him. In the future, when he enters the society, he might cause some trouble."

Du Feng is the youngest among Du Ruolin's children. Although he always looks down on Du Feng, he actually worries about Du Feng the most.

"When you were in your twenties, you were already a battalion commander galloping on the battlefield. As the saying goes, a dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, and a son resembles his father. Du Feng is your son, so there is no difference.

Besides, you can't protect him forever. In the past, people introduced him as Du Ruolin's son, but in a few years, when others introduce you, you will have to say he is Du Feng's father."

People, sometimes the closer people are, the harder it is to persuade them, but it is easier for outsiders to persuade them.

For Du Feng and his son, Lin Chaoyang was the outsider. His hating on Du Ruolin was not a deafening speech, but it captured a father's deepest expectation.

There is no father who doesn't want his children to be successful. Listening to Lin Chaoyang's words, the coldness in Du Ruolin's expression gradually melted away.

"No one needs to introduce me as his father. As long as he doesn't give me any trouble, I'll be happy with him."

Sensing that his father's tone had softened, Du Feng immediately hit the snake with a stick and said, "Dad, don't worry, I am an honest businessman, and we will never do anything illegal or disciplinary."

Du Ruolin glanced at his son, ignored him, and drank a glass of wine with Lin Chaoyang.

The Spring Festival holiday only lasts a few days, and it’s gone in a blink of an eye.

Taking advantage of this holiday, Lin Chaoyang's new novel has finally come to an end, with two to three thousand words left to finish.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, it was his turn to be on duty. He planned to finish writing the last few thousand words, but in the morning Jiang Huaiyan came over again and said that the factory director wanted to talk to him.

Lin Chaoyang saw that he wanted to have a chat with him, so he refused without even thinking about it.

Jiang Huaiyan thought he was still upset about what happened last year, so he said: "Lao Wang was helpless at that time and had no choice but to shoot the arrow."

Lin Chaoyang shook his head and said: "I've told you, what happened between us is not a festival. If you want the right to adapt it, just pay enough."

"Let's meet and talk. If you have anything to do, let's meet." Jiang Huaiyan begged.

While the two were fighting, someone came to see Lin Chaoyang again.

"Are you Comrade Lin Chaoyang?"

The visitor was dressed in military uniform. He was very polite when he saw Lin Chaoyang and showed his work permit and letter of introduction. It turned out to be Zheng Ruisheng, the literary editor of the Bayi Film Studio.

"Comrade Junshu and I both worked at the Cultural Department of the Military Region before. Before coming back this time, I made a point of asking him about your situation."

The "Comrade Junshu" mentioned by Zheng Ruisheng is Liang Junshu, the literary editor of Warrior Publishing House. He is the editor in charge of the single volume of "Garland Under the Mountain".

With people they knew in common, Lin Chaoyang and Zheng Ruisheng had a relaxed conversation. He asked Zheng Ruisheng why he came to see him this time. Zheng Ruisheng said straight to the point: "Our Bayi Factory wants to put "Garland Under the Mountain" on

Screen, I’m here just to ask for your opinion.”

After Zheng Ruisheng arrived, Jiang Huaiyan was ignored by Lin Chaoyang. Given the relationship between the two, he would not argue with him, but after Zheng Ruisheng introduced himself, he became more vigilant.

After Zheng Ruisheng explained his intention, Jiang Huaiyan became anxious.

Why are there still people who are choking during the Chinese New Year?

He was anxious as he watched Lin Chaoyang and Zheng Ruisheng chatting and laughing.

Bayi Film Studio is the only military film studio in China. It mainly shoots military-themed movies. They want to shoot "Garland Under the Mountain" but they have advantages that no one else has. This is definitely the largest film studio in Yan Film Studio.

competitors.

Seeing that the two of them were chatting more and more passionately, Jiang Huaiyan scratched his head anxiously, fearing that Lin Chaoyang would agree to Zheng Ruisheng.

"Chaoyang, didn't you say that whoever pays the highest price for the adaptation rights will get it?" In desperation, Jiang Huaiyan spoke up.

Hearing Jiang Huaiyan speak, Zheng Ruisheng's eyes were surprised. Lin Chaoyang never introduced Jiang Huaiyan just now, "This is..."

"Yanying Factory, Jiang Huaiyan!" Jiang Huaiyan said with his head held high, almost without the words "We are enemies" written on his face.

Lin Chaoyang explained: "Similar to your Bayi Film Studio, Yan Film Studio also plans to obtain the rights to adapt my novel."

Zheng Ruisheng nodded, "Comrade Chaoyang's novels have great influence, and they seem to be very popular."

Seeing that Zheng Ruisheng didn't seem to pay attention to the competitor Yanying Factory, Jiang Huaiyan wanted to put some pressure on him, but Lin Chaoyang said, "Lao Jiang, it's all said and done, why don't you go back first."

Where does it end?

When Jiang Huaiyan heard this, he immediately realized that Lin Chaoyang was going to send him away to chat with Zheng Ruisheng alone. If he left, wouldn't Wu Dalang make room for Ximen Qing?

He hurriedly pulled Lin Chaoyang aside and said in a low voice: "Let me tell you, Bayi Film Studio has always been stingy when it comes to production investment. They will definitely not give you such a high royalties."

How could Lin Chaoyang not understand his little thoughts and said lightly: "The Bayi Factory has the advantages of the Bayi Factory."

Listening to his words, Jiang Huaiyan became anxious, "We also have advantages!"

"What advantage do you have? I didn't see it. Sosou deducted the fee from me when negotiating, and I'm still unwilling to bid."

"Then why don't we meet in person to discuss it? After get off work goes well, Lao Wang invites you to dinner. We will meet and discuss it in detail then, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory royalties."

Jiang Huaiyan didn't say anything about treating guests to dinner just now. It seems that competition is the only motivation!

Since he said so, it's not impossible to meet him.

"Okay, you go back first, and I'll go to your work after get off work."

After receiving Lin Chaoyang's reply, Jiang Huaiyan breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but tell him: "You must not agree to their Bayi Factory first, they are still trying."

"I know, I know."

Lin Chaoyang sent him away, then faced Zheng Ruisheng and said, "Sorry."

Zheng Ruisheng said with a smile: "It's okay. The recent hit of "Wrangler" fully proves the mass base of your work. Everyone must want the right to adapt your work."

"In terms of royalties..."

After get off work in the evening, Lin Chaoyang rode his bicycle to Youyishun Restaurant on Huangsi Street in Dewai, Xicheng.

Influenced by the Qing Dynasty, there are many halal restaurants in Yanjing city, such as Jinfang Snacks, Hongbin Tower, Donglaishun, Xilaishun, Barbeque Wan, Barbeque Season, Baikui Laohao, Yitiaolong... there are too many to count.

Has its own characteristics.

You Yishun is a halal restaurant in Yanjing that belongs to the Eastern cuisine. Its selling points include fried, grilled, hot-boiled and Northwestern dishes and stir-fried dishes.

When Lin Chaoyang arrived here, Hu Qiming and Jiang Huaiyan were already waiting here.

When they met, Wang Yang was extremely enthusiastic. He pulled Lin Chaoyang and directly talked about the unpleasantness during the preparation of "An Unfinished Game of Chess" and solemnly apologized to Lin Chaoyang.

Wang Yang behaved openly and aboveboard, and Lin Chaoyang waved his hands indifferently, "It's all in the past, and everyone treats the situation differently."

"It's great if you think so." Wang Yang saw that Lin Chaoyang seemed completely unfazed and didn't take it to heart, with a smile on his face.

Then the two parties chatted while eating, and naturally the rights to adapt "Wreaths Under the Mountain" were mentioned.

"Huaiyan has told me your thoughts. The influence of "Garland Under the Mountain" is indeed unique in China. If it is adapted into a movie, it will definitely be welcomed by the majority of readers.

But you should also understand that if such a novel is to be adapted into a movie, financial investment will definitely be required.

We will definitely try our best to meet your requirements in terms of manuscript fees..."

Wang Yang's Che Zulu talked for a while, but did not get to the point. Lin Chaoyang knew that it would be difficult to reach a consensus today.

He didn't care. He came to the banquet today because he didn't really want to hand over the adaptation rights of the novel to Yan Film Studio.

"Director Wang, let's not beat around the bush." ​​Lin Chaoyang saw that Wang Yang had been talking for a long time without getting to the point, so he had to interrupt him forcibly.

"Well... we can provide five thousand yuan for the royalties!"

Under Lin Chaoyang's urging, Wang Yang seemed to have made a lot of determination and finally said.

Five thousand yuan?

At present, in the domestic film industry, it is common for a movie script to cost several hundred yuan, and if it reaches more than a thousand yuan, it is considered a high price.

Yan Film Factory quoted Lin Chaoyang a price of four thousand yuan, which cannot be said to be insincere.

"It seems that there is a certain gap between our ideas!" Lin Chaoyang said lightly.
Chapter completed!
