Seeing that he was so inconvenienced and still insisted on coming, Lu Yinfeng immediately forgave him for being late.
She stepped forward and greeted friendly: "Hello, Mr. Xu."
"Zhouzhou!" Xu Youguang raised his hand and waved, his tone light and gentle.
Lu Yinfeng raised his eyebrows and felt a strange feeling in his heart.
It was quite strange to be called by a pen name for the first time in front of someone.
Xu Youguang is thirty years old, tall and thin, with curly hair, like an idol Japanese TV actor.
The two sat down, and Lu Yinfeng handed the menu to Xu Youguang, "Mr. Xu, let's see what you want to eat. This restaurant has three Michelin stars, and the first page of the menu is full of special dishes."
Lu Yinfeng pretended to be calm and said skillfully.
She had rehearsed this passage in her mind countless times.
Xu Youguang smiled softly, admiring Lu Yinfeng's face with his open eyes.
Lu Yinfeng's face burned up, revealing a touching pink color.
"That...that..." Lu Yinfeng's well-rehearsed social rhetoric was simply not enough to cope with the current situation, and she was a little incoherent.
"When I heard Xiaoli say that Zhouzhou is a great beauty, I thought she was being polite. But now that I saw her in person, I realized that Xiaoli was still conservative."
"Zhouzhou is like a fairy."
Perhaps it was Xu Youguang's unique literary temperament that made him speak such words without appearing greasy, but rather with a sense of refined sincerity.
Lu Yinfeng was unable to resist.
"Mr. Xu, don't say that." Lu Yinfeng tried to calm himself, "Also, Zhouzhou is my pen name. In reality, it is better to call me Lu Yinfeng."
"Lu Yinfeng...Lu Yinfeng..."
Xu Youguang's eyes suddenly flashed as he read Lu Yinfeng's name.
"Lu Yinfeng, then I remembered." Xu Youguang grinned, one of his fangs showing, "You were hiding in my ward before, but you ran away when I asked for payment!"
"But, I asked the nurse the next day to find out more about it. Lu Yinfeng... this name is really nice."
Lu Yinfeng was shocked.
"Ah I……"
Of course she remembered that night in the hospital...
Lu Yinfeng didn't expect that the world is so small, and the man in the ward that day was actually the screenwriter who adapted his own novel!
She was immediately ashamed, lowered her head, and her face was so red that it almost bled.
"Let me tell you, I was unlucky enough to die some time ago. I was hit by a car when I first came to Mochuan City. I was in the hospital for almost a month!"
"It's such a coincidence that the person hiding in my ward that night was you."
"It seems like there are two men quarreling over you, right? I heard from the nurse that the two men are quite well-connected."
"It seems that you have to give me this reward." Xu Youguang stared at her.
Lu Yinfeng exhaled, suppressed the panic in his heart, handed the menu to the opposite party, and said calmly: "Then I'll treat Mr. Xu to a meal as reward."
Xu Youguang stopped teasing Lu Yinfeng.
He was afraid that if he scared Lu Yinfeng away the first time, it would not be fun in the future.
The two of them each ordered a set meal.
While waiting for the food to be served, Xu Youguang showed Lu Yinfeng the scripts he had revised for the first ten episodes.
Lu Yinfeng also took advantage of the opportunity to read the script and covered his face.
Xu Youguang was a familiar person, and his fiery eyes frightened Lu Yinfeng.
The form of a screenplay is different from that of a novel.
It was the first time for Lu Yinfeng to read a real-life script, and it felt strange.
But... Lu Yinfeng suddenly frowned, pointed to the character introduction and asked: "Mr. Xu, why did the master become a woman? The original work clearly stated that he was a burly man in his thirties."
The original work is the story of an experienced detective captain who has solved countless cases and a new rookie detective.
"The investors hope that there will be some emotional drama between the two protagonists, and the audience will love to watch it. So we can only change the gender."
Xu Youguang shrugged helplessly.
He also tried to fight for it, but the investors had already decided on the actors and had to change it like this.
"But... even the basic settings of the characters have been changed, and book fans will definitely not be happy to accept it."
Xu Youguang smiled self-deprecatingly, "Whether book fans accept it or not is secondary, investors' acceptance is the most important."
Seeing that Lu Yinfeng was in a bad mood, Xu Youguang said quickly: "I have tried my best to adapt it according to the original work. Yinfeng, your work is very good."
Lu Yinfeng lowered his eyes, showing disappointment.
If she had known that her work would be subject to such magical changes, she would not have agreed to sell the copyright so quickly, and maybe she could have dealt with it for a while.
Lu Yinfeng didn't want to read the rest of the content.
She smiled politely and said, "Mr. Xu, I believe in your professionalism."
"Yinfeng." Xu Youguang called kindly, "I guessed that you would be unhappy, so I brought you a gift."
Lu Yinfeng was not very interested, but he didn't want to refute Xu Youguang's face.
She pretended to be surprised and said, "Mr. Xu is interested."
Xu Youguang took out a small, slightly worn notebook from his document bag.
Lu Yinfeng was surprised and looked at Xu Youguang in confusion, not even wanting to answer.
"I heard from Xiaoli that your favorite writer is Qing Ruxu. Here, this is his Virgo manuscript."
Lu Yinfeng was still in a daze when he heard the three words "Qing Ru Xu".
This was her previous favorite suspense novel author.
The first time Lu Yinfeng saw such a work, he was still a primary school student.
For the first time, I was fascinated by the feeling of peeling off layers of silk and cocoons.
From then on, every time Qing Ruxu released a new work, she would buy it.
Lu Yinfeng's book "Between Tides" was also influenced by Qing Xu's works.
It is a pity that Qing Ruxu has not released a new work for almost eight years.
Rumor has it that Xu Jianglang has exhausted his talents and has put pen to paper.
Lu Yinfeng became interested in the so-called manuscript, took it and looked through it.
Sure enough, everything written inside was familiar to her.
"Thank you!" Lu Yinfeng was a little excited. "If I hadn't read his works before, I wouldn't be sitting here now... Wait, how did you have this manuscript? Are you!"
Lu Yinfeng had a flash of inspiration and stood up suddenly, staring at the man in front of him in disbelief.
As promised, Xu Youguang.
Do these two names belong to the same person?
"Shh! Keep a low profile." Xu Youguang put his index finger in front of his mouth.
And his smug eyes had already declared to Lu Yinfeng - yes, he was Qing Ruxu Benxu!
Lu Yinfeng sat down absentmindedly, his eyes still full of disbelief.
She never thought that one day she would sit at the same table for dinner with the writer she had always admired.
"Xu...Mr. Xu..." Lu Yinfeng was so excited that he stammered, "I really like your works! The Nightmare Trilogy, Heavenly Realm, and Man Bites Dog! I have watched each one countless times. all over!"
Lu Yinfeng completely transformed into a little fan girl at this time, excitedly confiding her love to her idol.
Xu Youguang accepted Lu Yinfeng's praises. After all, no one would dislike such a beautiful and talented fan.
In the second half of the show, the two started chatting and talked a lot to each other.
Lu Yinfeng was completely intoxicated with the joy of seeing his idol.
As for the magic modification of the script, she doesn't care anymore, since the copyright fees are all paid.
