At the dinner table, Gu Man, dressed in her carefully chosen clothes and wearing flat-framed glasses, looked rather awkward.

Jingyang invited Gu Man based on the expectation that each of her adaptations would become a hit, but he overlooked the fact that at that time, Gu Man was just an online novel author.

His fame is limited to the online literature circle, and even within the Jinjiang Literature City.

Before her work was changed, the only difference between her and ordinary people was that she had a little more money.

At this moment, looking at the two people in front of her, Gu Man began to wail inwardly.

"What a disaster! How did I, a mere online novelist, end up having dinner with two big stars...?"

The two people opposite, Jing Tian and Jing Yang, are no ordinary people. They are well-known both inside and outside the industry for their resources, and their backgrounds are shrouded in mystery.

One of them also made a name for himself in the music industry...

Now these two people are all smiles, holding up books she wrote a few years ago and claiming they are her fans. She doesn't feel honored; she just feels embarrassed.

Noticing Gu Man's awkwardness, Jingyang and Jingtian tried their best to liven up the atmosphere.

But it was destined to be in vain.

Even during the meal, none of the three of them seemed to enjoy it, and the whole atmosphere was quite awkward...

After a while, Jingyang put down his chopsticks.

The ceramic chopsticks placed on the exquisite bowls and plates made a crisp sound that was clearly audible in the private room.

Gu Man's heart skipped a beat; she knew that the real business was about to begin.

"Ms. Gu, as you know, the purpose of our visit is to acquire the film and television adaptation rights to this book."

"We not only want to adapt it ourselves, but also film it ourselves, distribute it ourselves, and finally sell it to TV stations."

"Perhaps in half a year or so, a satellite TV channel will be able to broadcast a TV series based on your novel."

"But I think it's just one of the three TV stations: Dragon TV, Blueberry TV, and others."

"It might be a bit difficult for Hunan TV, but it's not impossible."

"As for the director, we are interested in Lin Yufen, who co-directed Chinese Paladin 3 and Scarlet Heart. Her talent is recognized in the industry."

"..."

This was the first time Jingyang had talked about these things, so he chattered on and on.

These things shouldn't have been his responsibility, but Jingyang felt that he was the one who was more sincere in his negotiations.

But he became more and more excited as he spoke, clearly not noticing Gu Man's increasingly confused look.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

Three Questions~

Fortunately, Jing Tian, ​​who was standing next to her, was usually a bit simple-minded, but she was very capable when it came to important matters.

Noticing Gu Man's unusual behavior, he elbowed Jingyang, interrupting the spellcasting.

Jing Tian said softly, "Sister Gu Man is a little excited."

"After all, this is my first time making it myself, I hope you can understand."

Gu Man snapped out of her daze and forced a smile, saying, "I understand, I understand..."

I wondered if this young lady also had a lot of things she didn't quite understand.

Although she has the natural inclination to gossip like a girl, she usually likes to follow the entertainment industry.

However, it was clear that what Jingyang told her was beyond her comprehension, leaving her completely confused.

Fortunately, Jing Tian didn't continue talking about those things. Instead, she brought up the book "Love O2O," which reassured Gu Man a lot.

The two hit it off immediately, as if they had become best friends of many years in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Jingyang thought to himself that the girl seemed to have taken his words to heart.

Given how enthusiastically the two of them were talking, Jingyang didn't believe she hadn't read the entire novel, or even all of Gu Man's novels.

The two talked nonchalantly for about ten minutes before they came to their senses and noticed that they had left Jingyang aside.

Gu Man smiled awkwardly, while Jing Tian playfully stuck out her tongue.

"It's okay, you guys talk."

"And what you said is indeed more effective than what I said..."

Jingyang chuckled self-deprecatingly, which made Gu Man feel like she was finally experiencing the life of an ordinary person.

However, she felt that they had talked enough by this point. Although she couldn't understand what Jingyang was saying, she felt that it was enough that Jingtian had talked to her about novels for so long.

Being able to immerse oneself in a novel and analyze it to one's own perspective is more than enough to make a difference.

As an online novelist who isn't short of money, her first consideration was how to increase her popularity and break into new circles.

Then comes making money, and finally ensuring quality and quantity.

Of course, all three are necessary conditions, only the order is different.

Now, she feels it's worth a try.

Jing Tian is a well-known actress with access to resources and a mysterious background. It's definitely enough for her to take on a role in a TV series now.

As for Jingyang, although he became famous for singing, his face alone is enough to star in an idol drama.

She is somewhat aware of the types of film and television adaptations of her novels.

As for whether the male and female leads are not these two?

That's impossible; she couldn't imagine anyone snatching the role from those two.

So things have come to this point, and it's quite clear.

After regaining her composure, Gu Man said solemnly, "I personally feel that cooperation, even in-depth cooperation, is possible."

"But I also have my own ideas. Every work is like my child, and I can't completely hand over my child to others to raise."

"Therefore, I hope to participate in the adaptation process and have a significant say in it."

After speaking, Gu Man was very careful.

Even though she hadn't officially entered this industry yet, she knew that what she was saying was taboo.

But she was fearless; she had to do it for the three purposes mentioned above.

Jingyang, on the other hand, was not angry at all; instead, he felt a sense of relief.

"Do you know what my only requirement is for the production?"

Gu Man was taken aback.

"What?"

"Let professionals do what they're good at."

"As the original author, you have the most precise control over the work, so isn't it only natural that you join the editing team?"

"Even when it comes to casting, if she and I aren't a good match, we can change it; if there's someone else, we can replace them!"

Jingyang pointed at himself and spoke to Jing Tian, ​​completely ignoring Gu Man's shocked expression.

After her initial shock, Gu Man regained her composure and instead displayed the ambition to become a top figure in the industry.

All in!

"Since we've come this far, let's not say anything more."

"As long as this drama isn't too bad, I'll stick with you guys from now on!"

Upon hearing this, Jingyang smiled and said to her, "Then you'd better be prepared to work for her."

After saying that, the three of them raised their glasses together.

On the way back, Jing Tian was a little confused as to why Gu Man was treated with such courtesy.

It's not that it shouldn't be done, but rather that it's gone too far.

Jingyang simply said, "In the future, anything with even a hint of entertainment will be king in terms of content."

"Only content will attract viewers; without content, it's just a false prosperity and a flash in the pan."

"This isn't a special courtesy; I'm spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones!"
