An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 86 Popular Literature, Also Literature

According to the content of the contract, Sea Lion will be exclusively authorized to read and publish the electronic version of "Legend of the Swordsman of Shu Mountain", and the share will be 50-50. If there is a demand for film and television adaptation in the future, Sea Lion Pictures, a subsidiary of Sea Lion Group, will have the priority to adapt the rights.

The content of the contract is still OK. I don’t know much about it in Huaguo in the previous life, but it seems that the Xiaguo’s novel circle in this life is all about this contract. After taking a look, Hao Yun confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it, so he went to the printing room of the library and typed out two copies. , signed his name, and then sent it to a nearby courier outlet.

He took a photo of the signed contract and the courier slip and sent it to Qijian. Just when Hao Yun was going back to the computer room to continue coding, Qijian sent another message.

[By the way, speaking of it, how is your relationship with Liu Ye? 】

Hearing this strange name, Hao Yun couldn't help frowning slightly.

[Liu Ye? 】

[It's Liu Ye, your former editor in charge of Xiake.com, don't you know his real name? 】

Hao Yun: [He never told me. 】

Seven Swords: [That's it, actually... He recommended me to sign your book at first, and he also recommended WeChat to me. I saw that he cared about you so much, and thought you were his real friend or something, since he didn't know you, then forget it. 】

Hao Yun: [I actually only met him recently, what's the matter? 】

Seven Swords: [It's nothing, it's just that he seems to have fallen into a slump in his career recently, I also said that if you know him well, please comfort him for me. 】

Career downturn?

Hao Yun was slightly taken aback.

His intuition told him that this trough might have something to do with him...

[Has he encountered any difficulties? 】

Seven Swords: [I encountered a little trouble, and speaking of this matter, it has something to do with you. 】

Hao Yun: [Me? 】

Seven Swords: [That's right, didn't he tell you why he didn't suggest you sign the contract? 】

Why is it not recommended to sign a contract?

Seeing this sentence, Hao Yun was confused and typed back.

[He didn't say... Isn't it because of the problem with the new speed? 】

Seven Swords: [Slow update? Haha, it doesn't exist. In fact, your book had already been signed, but it was suppressed by the editor-in-chief of your group. Although Liu Ye helped you win the chance to sign a contract, Wang Ze also said that there is no problem in signing the contract, but I am sorry for the recommendation, so he thought he would just push you to me, and he couldn't afford to lose a good book in vain. 】

When typing these words, Qin Jian's heart was also full of emotion.

At that time, neither Wang Ze nor himself thought that "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" would be so popular. If he had known that it would be so popular, it is likely that Lao Liu would not have pushed this divine book to himself.

Hao Yun: [I see... I'll comfort him later. 】

Qin Jian: [Well, please, I will go over to comfort him now... the position may be a bit awkward. I remember his hometown is Jiangcheng, you should have something in common. 】

After chatting about some novel matters, Qin Jian went back to work, and Hao Yun was full of emotions.

Didn't expect that Brother Liu Ye refused to sign him out of good intentions?

this……

I'm so sorry.

...

A certain villa area in Jiangcheng.

The family is sitting and eating together.

Looking at the eldest daughter who seldom came back home, the majestic man's face was full of kindness.

"Mengmeng, are you tired from studying recently?"

"I'm not tired from studying," Lin Mengmeng complained softly while concentrating on eating, "It's just that I'm too busy with work."

"Work?"

"Well, my agent recently helped me take on another drama... I was busy enough preparing for the game before, but now I have another job to be busy, sometimes I really want to split myself in two half."

While talking, Lin Mengmeng sighed.

Obviously her interest is only in singing, but now she has not achieved much fame in singing, and she has crossed over to make movies.

Although she also knew in her heart that the opportunity of this female number two was very rare, and if she seized it, it would definitely help her singing and acting career, but this did not prevent her from feeling tired.

"If you're too busy, forget it. You're still a student, and your family doesn't need you to be so anxious to make money." Sitting next to the man, Mother Lin's face was full of worry, and her tone was full of concern and continued, "Speaking of which, how is the qualification of the brokerage company you're looking for? You didn't ask your father to ask for help."

Feeling ashamed to say that he was dragged away in a daze on the street, Lin Mengmeng vaguely said with a shy expression.

"It's okay. Although the company is not very big, the young lady who is in charge of me is still very responsible, and she is super nice."

Father Lin nodded, but instead of continuing to ask about the company, he asked about movies instead.

"Speaking of which, what movie did you participate in? When will it be released?"

""Galan Rain", Tian Ye is shooting a new work. I don't know when it will be released. The crew is still setting the scene. I guess it will have to wait until the end of the year at the earliest."

"Tian Ye?" Lin's father rubbed his chin, with a look of interest on his face, "Is that Tianyuan Films? I heard at the dinner some time ago...their financial situation is not very optimistic, right? This movie Can it be successfully released?"

Lin Mengmeng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head incomprehensibly.

"I don't understand this very well, but it should be fine to release it, right?"

"I just asked casually, you should pay more attention to yourself." Seeing that the daughter said so, the man didn't ask any more questions, but simply nodded and continued, "In addition, my suggestion is actually the same as your mother's. , since you are still in school, you should focus on your studies. I have no objection to playing tickets, but if you exhaust your body, it will not be worth the candle."

"What is playing ticket! Even if you are my father, I don't allow you to say that," Lin Mengmeng said with a pouted face after glancing at his father, "...you are only allowed to have your own business, and I can't do it too." Do you have a job?"

"I, I don't mean that."

Looking at his unhappy daughter with a wry smile, Father Lin wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to speak, and finally he had to silently shut his mouth.

However, Lin Mengmeng was not angry with his father.

On weekdays, she lives in school, and her parents are either in the company or on the plane. It is rare for the family to sit and eat together like this. She doesn't want to make everyone unhappy because of such a trivial matter.

What's more, she can understand his father's mood.

"Mengmeng is right! I support her!" After casting a blank look at her husband, Mother Lin scolded him, "You are already old, so stop meddling in their young people's affairs."

"Yes, yes, I don't talk too much, I eat and eat." Knowing that his wife was stepping down the steps for him, Father Lin smiled awkwardly, closed his mouth, concentrated on eating and stopped talking.

"It's good to have a career you're passionate about."

Looking at her eldest daughter, Mother Lin had a kind smile on her face and pride in her eyes.

Among the two daughters, Mengmeng is the most sensible and the one who resembles her the most. And the youngest daughter, Jiaojiao, is like her father, especially her pair of piercing eyes, as well as her fiery temper, she was carved out of the same mold as her father.

The only difference might be that she didn't learn her father's careerism.

Although she has a strong personality, she always digs into the horns of some strange things. Every time there is a parent-teacher meeting, the child's class teacher often complains to her.

Seeing Jiaojiao, who hadn't said a word from the beginning to the end, and was patronizing and devouring there, Mother Lin sighed, and said earnestly, "Jiaojiao, you are not young anymore, you are going to high school this year, when will you be able to eat?" Learn from your sister?"

"Well--"

I thought that as long as I ate silently, I could reduce my sense of existence and not be discovered, but I didn't expect that my mother would pay attention to it.

Lin Jiaojiao's expression froze as if she had been shot, and a weak expression appeared on her face for a long time.

"Mom... I'm only sixteen years old, do you have the heart to let me go out to work?"

She at home and she on the Internet are completely different personalities.

Especially in front of her mother, let alone talking back, she dared not even speak louder.

after all……

She has something to do with her pocket money.

"Sixteen years old is not too young! And when did I let you work? I mean, don't stay at home, communicate more with your classmates, make more useful friends, it is really impossible to learn piano or art What, it's better to develop a hobby than mold in the house."

get mouldy!

This is too much!

Lin Jiaojiao was so wronged, she glanced at her mouth and protested softly.

"I have learned to draw..."

"What do you call that painting? Is painting a few paper figures also called painting?" Mother Lin said angrily, "If you really want to learn to paint, I'll hire you an art teacher. Holding the tablet to play games and watch the live broadcast, if you continue to play, you will become useless."

"Woo..."

With tears in her eyes, Lin Jiaojiao was on the verge of crying.

Unable to bear it any longer, Lin Mengmeng took his younger sister's hand, looked at his mother and said.

"Mom, Jiaojiao is still young, so don't talk about her."

As if seeing a savior, Lin Jiaojiao buried her head in the elder sister's arm,

"Woo, sister."

"That's right, what do children know?" Father Lin, who was originally concentrating on eating, also helped out, "Besides, it's not a bad thing to be playful, just don't get involved in bad habits, I think it's good."

Seeing Jiaojiao's aggrieved look, Mother Lin couldn't say anything more, shook her head and sighed.

"whatever."

after dinner.

Lin Jiaojiao wanted to sneak back into the room, but was grabbed by the elder sister and stayed in the living room.

Pulling his younger sister to sit on the sofa, Lin Mengmeng couldn't help but complain when seeing her glance towards his room from time to time.

"It's rare for me to come back, and I'm leaving tomorrow, and you won't accompany me. I know how to hide in the house every day. What kind of treasure is hidden in your house?"

Pouting her lips, Lin Jiaojiao snorted angrily.

"Hmph, there are so many babies."

"Okay, I'm not joking with you anymore," Lin Mengmeng continued, looking at his sister seriously, "Jiaojiao, let me ask you, do you really want to learn to draw?"

"So-so, but I don't want you to teach me, I want to learn by myself."

"Okay, besides painting, do you have any other hobbies?" Lin Mengmeng's face was full of helplessness, "To be honest, I don't want to force you, but my old lady said, if you continue to live like this every day If you go on, you will cut your pocket money."

"Why, how can this be!"

"I can't help it. Anyway, my mother just told me to supervise you to learn a skill, whether it's painting or a musical instrument."

"Wooooow, sister~"

"It's useless to be coquettish with me, she will personally check on your study at the end of the year," Lin Mengmeng poked her sister's head with her index finger, and continued in a doting tone, "You, it's better not to make my mother angry, She's doing it for you too."

Seeing that acting like a baby was useless, Lin Jiaojiao pursed her lips, struggled for a while, and then spoke.

"Then... can I have any hobbies?"

"Of course, but don't tell me about playing games, that doesn't count."

"Then, what about... literature?!" After searching for a while, Lin Jiaojiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said anxiously, "I've been studying literature recently!"

"literature?"

"Yes yes yes! Literature!"

Staring at his sister suspiciously, Lin Mengmeng said incredulously.

"And what about your research?"

"It's on my phone!" Lin Jiaojiao took out the phone and quickly handed it to her sister, "Here, let me show you!"

"The Legend of Shushan Swordsman..." After reading the title of the book, Lin Mengmeng looked up at his sister speechlessly, "Is this a novel?"

"Xiao, what's wrong with novels? Isn't popular literature considered literature?"

Looking at the younger sister who was seriously sophistrying, Lin Mengmeng sighed while resting his forehead.

"It's true to say so, but... this can only be regarded as a hobby at best? What kind of skill can literature appreciation be regarded as..."

"Appreciation is for learning, of course! After I learn it, won't I be able to write by myself? Maybe I will become a great writer in the future?"

Lin Mengmeng: "..."

This guy really has one idea every day. She still remembers that just two months ago, this guy vowed to herself that he would be a cartoonist or animation director in the future.

After a few nonsense sophistry, Lin Jiaojiao saw the distrustful look on her elder sister's face, so she hurriedly changed her strategy, changed the subject, and began to talk about it.

"Sister, let me tell you, this book is really amazing! I strongly recommend you to read it too! But remember to read it when you are not busy, I am afraid that you will be fascinated and forget the time, and when the time comes If the time is too late, you will come to rely on me again!"

Seeing his younger sister's frenzied expression, Lin Mengmeng had a hesitant expression on his face. After hesitating for a while, he asked in a low voice.

"real?"

Seeing that the elder sister looked like she was about to take the bait, Lin Jiaojiao was secretly happy and nodded repeatedly.

"Yeah! I swear! If I don't look good, I'm a puppy!"

Although this guy never fulfilled his oath, but thinking that the escape from the temple she recommended was really fun, Lin Mengmeng temporarily forgot about urging her to study, and nodded suspiciously.

"That's fine... I'll look back."
