I became a cannon fodder and watched the drama in the period novels.

Chapter 89 Cake
After everyone was seated, Su Yeqin introduced a few people to Shen Feifei. The one sitting next to Su Yeqin was her father Su Jianshe, who was the editor-in-chief of the East is Red newspaper. Now the East is Red newspaper has also opened the East is Red magazine, and they have transformed into a publishing house, so Su Jianshe is the editor-in-chief of the East is Red Publishing House.

Then the other two men were the deputy director and director of the film studio, and there was a middle-aged woman with glasses who was the screenwriter of the film studio.

After introducing the two parties, Su Jianshe explained the purpose of his visit: "Comrade Shen, we are here this time because the comrades from the film studio took a fancy to the story "Struggle" that you published in our newspaper before. They want to adapt your article and make it into a movie."

Deputy Director Zhou of the film studio also responded: "Yes, Comrade Shen, your article is very good. We hope to get your consent to make it into a movie. Of course, we will pay for it. We can give you a fee of one thousand yuan."

Shen Feifei recalled a report she had read before, in which a famous director of this era made a classic movie adapted from a novel and paid the great writer 800 yuan in copyright fees.

From this perspective, giving yourself a thousand yuan in a similar period of time is already a sign of great sincerity.

Shen Feifei thought for a moment and asked, "Can I ask how you plan to adapt it?"

Wu Ge, the director of the film studio, said: "We plan to film all the contents of the novel. We will just briefly touch on the part about Li Xiaohua's childhood in the beginning of the novel, and will mainly film the middle part about how Li Xiaohua entered the studio and won the qualification to go to university.

And we are going to ask Comrade Xiaoqing, who just hosted the Spring Festival Gala some time ago, to play Li Xiaohua."

Then they talked about the filming plan of the movie and the arrangements for other actors. Shen Feifei nodded, feeling that the film studio was indeed sincere.

She made a request: "I feel your sincerity, and I am very happy that my work can be put on the screen, but I want to make a request."

The other party gestured to Shen Feifei to speak.

"This movie was shot in Beijing. I hope to learn from the screenwriter of this movie because I am very curious about how the script was created. I also want to visit the crew and watch the on-site filming."

Deputy Director Zhou naturally agreed and made an appointment for both parties to sign the contract and pay the money tomorrow. He also told Shen Feifei the contact number of screenwriter Meng Jia who was coming today, and the two parties agreed to have time to communicate and learn together.

Since the agreement was made that day, the film studio worked very quickly and the crew started work two weeks after the contract was signed.

Shen Feifei took the script Meng Jia gave her and looked at the busy staff on the set. She asked Meng Jia beside her: "Sister Meng, how long will this take?"

"It will probably take two or three months. We have to shoot supporting roles these days, and the leading actress will be here in a few days." Meng Jia told Shen Feifei carefully.

During this period, she and Meng Jia became familiar with each other. Meng Jia taught her a lot of knowledge about scripts and encouraged Shen Feifei to try a script as well.

Shen Feifei is also very interested in this. After all, the film and television industry will develop vigorously in the future, and there will be dividends everywhere in this industry.

She plans to give it a try sometime.

After returning from the set, I saw the two sisters Xia Ying and Xia Qin still busy in the shop.

During this period, the two sisters can make small and large cakes by themselves, but they cannot customize the designs and patterns on the cakes.

So now, Shen Feifei basically lets the two sisters make cakes, and she only makes custom cakes herself.

However, I believe that it won't be long before these two people will be able to become masters, and then Shen Feifei will hand over the store to them.

Back in the store, Xia Qin and Yuan Jingwan came over with bad faces. Shen Feifei asked them what was going on. Xia Qin said, "Sister Feifei, there is a cake shop across the street. It just opened a few days ago. The price is cheaper than ours. Many of our customers went there to buy cakes today."

Shen Feifei knew that there was a cake shop nearby, and she thought she would go there today to see what the shop was like.

But it is normal to have peers. You can't just allow yourself to do this business.

She comforted Xia Qin: "It's okay, you guys do your job, I'll go over and take a look and understand the situation."

Yuan Jingwan came here because the clothing business in the store hasn't been very good recently. A lot of clothing stores have opened up outside recently, and the clothes here are expensive, so fewer and fewer people come.

Shen Feifei said to Yuan Jingwan, "Don't worry, Sister Yuan. Tianhao and I have already discussed this matter. We know what we are doing. Just do your job with peace of mind."

After saying that, Shen Feifei took her small leather bag and left, going to the cake shop.

Look up and see that the name of the shop is Good Luck Cake Shop.

Shen Feifei walked into the store and saw a whole row of cakes, both big and small. The boss inside was making cakes and the boss's wife was standing at the counter collecting money.

It's run by a husband and wife team and it looks OK, just regular old fashioned cakes.

Seeing Shen Feifei coming in, the proprietress greeted her warmly, "Girl, what kind of cake do you want to buy?"

Shen Feifei saw that the cakes inside were similar, and there were a few small cakes that were the same as the ones in her store. She picked a few small cakes and a large cake to take away.

The boss who was making the cake looked up and saw that it was Shen Feifei. He knew Shen Feifei, so he shouted, "Boss Shen, why are you coming to our store to buy cakes? Doesn't your family sell cakes?"

Shen Feifei took the packed cake with a smile: "I saw that your business is so good, so I came to try it and learn from you."

Seeing Shen Feifei speaking directly, the boss of Good Luck couldn't help but said proudly: "Then come back and try it and give me some suggestions. If you need my help, just let me know. After all, we are so close and we are all in the cake business."

Shen Feifei raised her eyebrows without saying anything, smiled and left.

The boss of Good Luck used to be a pastry chef in a big hotel. He can not only make various desserts, but also cakes.

He had noticed Shen Feifei's shop since it opened, and had also tasted the cakes in Shen Feifei's shop. After observing for a while, he felt that he could make better-tasting cakes at a lower cost, and his business would not be bad then.

With a plan in mind, he began to prepare. The terrain here is very good, and Shen Feifei's store has already made a name for itself in Beijing, so he chose this place. Not only are there many people nearby, but people also know that there is a cake shop here, so when they come to this street, they might come to his store.

Shen Feifei sat on the second floor and opened the cake. She asked Xia Ying, Xia Qin and Yuan Jingwan to taste the cake from Good Luck and compare it with the cake from their own shop.

After eating the cake, Shen Feifei said, "Tell me what you think."

Xia Yingxian raised her hand and said, "Comparatively, I feel that the cake from Good Luck is sweeter."

Shen Feifei nodded. People in this era were still relatively short of sugar, so they preferred sweet snacks.
