China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 36 Screenwriter
At this time, Zhang Jing, who was also watching the program in front of the TV, was also thinking about this young man.

"Old Zhang, do you think I want to meet this He Hua?" Zhang Jing said while picking up the open magazine on the coffee table.

Zhang Hongzhen, who was drinking tea at the side, sizzled twice, watching the TV indifferently:

"See you if you want to see it, and don't see it if you don't want to see it. It all depends on your heart."

"I mean, should we fight for the film and television adaptation rights of this article again!" Seeing that her husband didn't understand her words at all, Zhang Jing clapped the magazine in her hand vigorously.

Only then did Zhang Hongzhen come to his senses, and quickly returned to his senses:

"Oh oh oh, I was just thinking about something else. I mean, let it go, anyway, we still have the "Lancet" project to do, and "Mist" is also being filmed, so there is no need to stop"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Jing interrupted him:

"But this story is really interesting. The popularity of "The Conspiracy" shows that there is a huge market for spy war dramas. We can definitely try it."

Zhang Hongzhen was helpless: "I understand what you mean, but we can't get more people now, and the right to adapt is not in our hands, what's the use of thinking."

Zhang Jing threw the magazine in her hand on the coffee table, leaned back on the sofa, looked at the young man on TV seriously, and said slowly:
"Tomorrow, I'll go buy his book and have a look. Maybe I have a chance."

Zhang Hongzhen shook his head: My wife is like this, she must do what she wants to do, and no one can persuade her.

On the way to the company the next day, Zhang Jing found a bookstore and bought two books by He Hua.

After spending four or five days reading the two books, Zhang Jing didn't hesitate to find a middleman to contact He Hua directly, wanting to make an appointment with him for dinner.

Looking at the books on the table, Zhang Jing thought to herself: This kid is indeed a talent.

……

When the program aired that night, the recently sluggish ratings of "A Date with Perch" soared again, up one percentage point from before, which greatly satisfied the program crew.

A few days after the show was broadcast, He Hua's cell phone was bombed by He's mother, telling him:

Some leader from the county came to our house and brought a lot of things; Dad He became the team leader of their school's language team; relatives who complained that they hadn't seen each other for eight lifetimes came to borrow money from the house; they also said that a friend's daughter was also in college in BJ, and the family was rich, and asked He Hua if he wanted to meet.

It's impossible to make He Hua depressed, but He's mother will ask her son's opinion first, and will not make decisions without authorization. He Hua refused and she didn't mention it again.

This afternoon, He Hua was playing basketball with his classmates, and he was getting into the game when he was stopped by the classmates on the sidelines and pointed in the direction: "We will play again later, Teacher Gu is looking for you over there."

To be honest, since the quarrel with Chen Kaige last year, very few teachers took the initiative to find He Hua again.

He Hua was stunned when he heard a teacher looking for him suddenly.

Quickly realized, trotted over: "Teacher Gu, what do you need from me?"

"Well, it's nothing serious. Are you free at noon tomorrow? Someone wants to have dinner with you."

"Dinner? Who is it?" He Hua was puzzled.

Gu Yan dragged He Hua to the side:
"Zhang Jing, I guess she took a fancy to your book and wanted to talk to you about the film and television adaptation rights. I don't know the details. I didn't ask in detail. She wants to talk to you in person."

"Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." He Hua finally realized:
"Okay, I'm fine at noon tomorrow, teacher, please arrange."

After He Hua finished speaking, he was still pondering:

"Zhang Jing, who is it? The name sounds familiar."

Regarding this matter, Gu Yan didn't say much when he saw that He Hua agreed:
"That's fine. I'll call you tomorrow. You can go and see me then. I won't go. You don't have to worry about whether it will work or not."

After speaking, Gu Yan was a little hesitant to persuade the students not to be too straight-tempered, but thinking that they are famous and the book sales are also very good, so don't be annoying:
"It's okay, let's go play."

He Hua hummed twice and watched Gu Yan leave before returning to the court.

At this time, someone on the field had already taken He Hua's position. He Hua thought for a while, went under the basketball stand and asked Gao Jian who was sitting next to him:
"Brother Jian, who is Zhang Jing? The name sounds familiar to me. I seem to have heard it somewhere before. Do you have any impression?"

"Zhang Jing, let me think about it, Zhang Jing... I remember, what, "Don't Talk to Strangers"."

When Gao Jianyi reminded He Hua, he also remembered, it seems that it is really for the film and television adaptation rights.

"Why ask her carefully, what's the matter?" Gao Jian looked at the direction Gu Yan left.

"It's okay, it's probably not my turn, I'm going back to the dormitory, I'm sweating."

He Hua didn't elaborate, turned around and left.

It was almost noon the next day at the entrance of the hotel, and He Hua was still thinking about whether to change his plan and shoot "The Sky of the Wind Dog" or "W Two Worlds" first.

After meeting Zhang Jing and chatting for a while, I realized that I wanted to go wrong.

"Mr. Zhang, are you talking about "Latent"?"

"Yes, I liked this article when I saw it before, so I contacted the author. I wanted to chat first, but they said that you had already bought the right to adapt the film and television."

Only then did He Hua suddenly realize: "Yes, I also found the novel very interesting when I read it, so I bought it and adapted it. What do you mean?"

Zhang Jing is wearing a business attire today, with an apricot half-sleeve shirt on her upper body, a pair of black straight-leg pants on her lower body, and high heels.She has the air of a strong woman:
"I've read your book, it's very interesting, how about this, I can buy the adaptation rights from you at a high price, and we will find Jiang Wei to be the screenwriter."

"You can also participate in the creation of the script."

He Hua understood what Zhang Jing meant: You can learn from Jiang Weiduo.

He was a little at a loss, logically speaking, the screenwriter and director of this TV series is Jiang Wei, He Hua is lucky to be able to learn from others;

But he is really in a bad situation now, he can't keep writing novels, he needs the golden stepping stone of the "Latent" script.

He Hua pondered and said: "When I saw this novel, many images appeared in my mind. After purchasing the copyright, I also thought hard and made a lot of creations. I'm afraid I can't promise you now."

Zhang Jing looked at him and suddenly laughed: "You young people are very confident, and you are the best among them."

He Hua didn't understand what he meant.

"Dare to criticize a big director before graduation and no work, I'm afraid no one will dare to use you in the future! Think about it now"

He Hua clenched his fists under the table: "Then you don't have to worry about it, I think we've eaten enough, so let's leave it at that for today..."

Just as He Hua was about to get up and ask the waiter to pay the bill, Zhang Jing interrupted: "Well, you come out with the script. If we are satisfied, our company will vote for this drama."

He Hua was slightly stunned: "What script?"

After thinking about it, I couldn't help asking: "You mean 'my' script?"

Zhang Jing nodded with a smile.

He Hua was a little excited but calmed down quickly:

"Then how do you define whether you are satisfied? Don't say modify the script according to your wishes, I can't do it."

"Where have you been writing the script now?" Zhang Jing didn't answer He Hua's question directly, but turned to ask about the progress of the script.

"It's more than half written."

"Well, when your script is finished, I'll take you to meet Jiang Wei and Gu Yan. Let them judge whether the script is good or bad. What do you think?"

The teachers of Nortel and Chinese opera, their gold content is not enough to deceive people.

He Hua nodded: "Okay, let's talk about it after the script comes out."

Zhang Jing was a little surprised at this moment. This young man doesn't look stupid. Is he really confident or has other plans?

A normal person has now asked to sign a contract to put the verbal agreement on paper, but he didn't mention a word.

"Then wait until you finish writing."

He Hua called the waiter to pay the bill, and after sending Zhang Jing away, he exhaled slowly at the restaurant door:
Wait, I must fight a turnaround.
