Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 63 Pirates of the Caribbean

After Chen's father finished the inspection, Chen Linfeng also returned home.

At this time, the results of this year's college entrance examination are out, and the test papers can also be found.

Chen Linfeng spent two days trying to complete the test paper, and then graded the answers.

Referring to the scores of the top students in Zhongyuan Province disclosed in the newspapers, Chen Linfeng's performance can probably be ranked between 20-50 in the province.

He is quite satisfied with the result. If he works harder in his senior year, he can improve his score a bit and try to make big news in the college entrance examination next year.

A few days later, Sister Mei came to see me.

She entered the study room carrying a pile of books and placed them on the table.

"Xiaofeng, Disney China contacted me."

Chen Linfeng was lying on the bed teasing Xiao Yunmiao, and asked without turning his head, "Why did I contact you? To ask about Pixar?"

Sister Mei shook her head, picked up Xiao Yunmiao from Chen Linfeng's chest, put her on the floor of the living room, and closed the door.

Little Yun Miao was so angry that he kept scratching the door outside.

As soon as Chen Linfeng saw this posture, he knew that there was something serious to discuss.

He sat up cross-legged and asked, "If you're not asking about Pixar, then why are you looking for us?"

Sister Mei leaned against the door and said, "I heard that it was the request of their Emily Ken headquarters to discuss the copyright of a few songs with you."

She told Chen Linfeng the whole story.

Disney is currently in the process of filming a movie to promote their pirate theme park.

When Sister Mei said this, Chen Linfeng already knew which movie it was.

One day, when the director of this film was browsing in a bookstore, he heard the owner playing a song he had never heard before, so he stopped and listened for a while.

I feel that this song would be a perfect match for the soundtrack of the movie I’m currently filming.

The director immediately bought the CD and found the composer of the record through Disney, who was Chen Linfeng.

I have to say that this is all thanks to Kodansha's editor-in-chief Nobuhiko Noma, oh, he is the editor-in-chief now.

He asked his subordinates to collect information about Teacher Qilin, and finally found the record released by Chen Linfeng during the winter vacation of 2000.

With the idea of ​​trying it out whenever possible, Kodansha printed some of them after notifying Chen Linfeng and sold them in Japan. Although they did not become a big hit, there was still a market for them.

Kodansha also had a sales channel in Emilycon, so a small portion of this record also flowed into North America.

Instrumental music albums are generally not popular among ordinary music lovers, and are mostly bought by practitioners.

That bookstore is an independent bookstore that mainly serves Hollywood professionals. Unexpectedly, the director of Pirates of the Caribbean happened to hear it.

This can be considered as God's will to some extent.

After some back and forth, Disney headquarters finally sought cooperation through its branch in China.

After saying this, Sister Mei solemnly asked, "Can I go and discuss the Disney China matter this time?"

Chen Linfeng looked at her with some surprise.

"Xiao Feng, I have only been your agent in the film and television industry, communicating with production companies and media in the industry. As for the writer, I am just playing the role of an assistant."

She said with some inexplicable emotion, "I thought you were making rapid progress, but this time I saw you negotiating with Pixar in Hollywood.

To be honest, I am a little worried that I might not be able to keep up with your development speed in the future."

Chen Linfeng didn't expect that Sister Mei, who was always quick-tempered, decisive and capable, would have such concerns.

He comforted her, "No, as you said, you have made rapid progress."

"It's still not fast enough!" Sister Mei said with a little excitement, "I need to be respected by others, so I can't just rely on you to lead me. I need to be able to make my own contribution."

She asked in a pleading tone, "I'll go talk to them. If it doesn't work, you can step in, okay?"

Chen Linfeng could understand Sister Mei's character very well. She was forced to drop out of school after graduating from junior high school because her father felt that girls did not need to go to a higher grade.

So I developed a strong character and didn't want others to look down on me. In recent years, since I became Chen Linfeng's agent and assistant, I have been enriching myself.

Because Chen Linfeng has cooperative business in Japan and North America, he also started to learn these two foreign languages ​​by himself. Now he can roughly understand them, but he can't speak them very well yet.

This time it is a negotiation with Disney China, which does not involve foreign languages, so Chen Linfeng is of course willing to let Sister Mei go to negotiate.

"Actually, I don't really like talking about this kind of thing with other people. It would be great if someone could do it for me."

Sister Mei showed a look of surprise on her face, "I will definitely try my best to get good conditions for you."

Chen Linfeng hurriedly told her to relax, "You don't have to feel pressured. Disney is different from other companies. They are very domineering. Whether you fight for it or not, the result won't be much different."

Sister Mei said speechlessly, "Is there anyone as discouraged as you?"

Chen Linfeng repeatedly emphasized to Sister Mei that everything should be negotiated. They could try to get the revenue, but the copyright was the most difficult to get. If they couldn't negotiate, they would have to give up, because Disney has always been difficult to talk to in this regard.

Sister Mei thought of the last time when Pixar and Chen Linfeng were negotiating at Momentum. When both parties mentioned Disney, they acted as if they were facing a big boss. She nodded thoughtfully.

After she confirmed Chen Linfeng's bottom line again and again, she talked about another matter.

She patted the book she had just brought and told its origin.

Here are some of the books coming out this year.

The publishing house of these books had cooperated with Mengya before, and then through Mengya, Sister Mei passed them to Chen Linfeng and invited him to write some recommendations.

"Mengya said that you can just pick a few books that you think are good and write about them."

The books piled up were half an arm's height, and there were about 10 to 20 of them.

Sister Mei smiled and said, "You are really treated like a famous writer. Some people are starting to ask you to write recommendations."

It was because the book "Infinite World" was a big hit in the United States. Otherwise, how could his status be raised at this time?

Chen Linfeng picked up a book and started reading it.

In recent years, as his books have become more and more popular, they have attracted many authors to change their style and write in the direction of popular novels.

Moreover, since Chen Linfeng's books have always been known for their compact plots and ingenious designs, many new generation authors are also learning this routine.

The book he opened was just like that. It was a story about traveling to a near future world to fight super-powered criminals.

Chen Linfeng took a closer look and found that the setting of this future world was somewhat similar to the first book he wrote, "Book of Life and Death".

But it's a bit weird, as the smartphone has been turned into a handheld computer, and the national live broadcast has been turned into a small mobile camera.

It's quite interesting to watch, and the most important thing is that the plot is very tense, which can attract people to continue watching.

It would be great to copy the works of the previous life and then ask the authors of this life to write similar works for him.

Seeing that Chen Linfeng was absorbed in reading, Sister Mei did not disturb him but opened the door that had just been closed.

The little cloud cat outside couldn't wait any longer, so it rushed out quickly and started yelling curses at the hateful woman.

Sister Mei looked at it unhappily.

After such a long time, this little kitten still only gets close to Xiaofeng and doesn't like her.

And he is particularly vindictive.

It was obvious that he was holding a grudge against her and stretched out his claws to hit her.

Sister Mei squatted and teased the cat, stretching her hand from a distance, and from time to time quickly reached out to touch the cat's head while dodging its claws.

Chen Linfeng helplessly watched Sister Mei's rare moments of childishness. This person and this cat were always fighting with each other. He wondered if it was because of the repulsion between the same sex.

He read for a while, glanced at the thickness of the pile of books on the table, and felt that he would not be able to finish reading them today.

Chen Linfeng put down the book in his hand and roughly flipped through the other books, intending to pick out a few to read today.

"Ok?"

He saw a familiar name.

Is this "Falling Flowers in Dreams" written by Guo Xiaosi?
