The next day.
Jiang Yao was about to go to Ming Pao to talk to the editor-in-chief Zha about the copyright of the novel. Zha Liguo called her first and said that Director Shao of Shaw Brothers Pictures had organized a dinner party and asked her to come over and talk.
Liang Yuze just told her about the copyright issue yesterday, and Director Shao had another dinner date today, and he definitely wanted to talk to her about the copyright. It was written in the contract that the copyright needs to be decided upon by both parties, so Shaw Brothers couldn't get around her and had to let her. nod.
But based on the relationship between Chen Yanbei and Liang Yuze, Jiang Yao must be in love with Liang, and Liang Yuze helped her get rid of the young and Dangerous boys who harassed her before, and she has yet to return this favor.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yao began to worry about how she could push Shaw away while trying not to offend anyone.
The dinner was scheduled for the evening. Jiang Yao was in a tangled mood. She didn't feel like dressing up before going out. She randomly picked a more formal dress, put on some lipstick and planned to go to the appointment.
Chen Yanbei just came home from work at the company. As soon as he entered the door, he saw her standing in the entrance hall changing shoes. He immediately hugged her and held her in his arms. His warm breath sprayed in her ears: "Where are you going?"
Jiang Yao put her backhand around his waist and leaned her whole body on him. She raised her little face and said in a helpless tone: "I'm going to a dinner. I checked the phone call from the editor in the afternoon and said that Director Shao wanted to chat with me. Let’s talk, it must be about copyright.”
Listening to her tone, Chen Yanbei raised a hand to rub the top of her hair and asked in a low voice, "Don't want to go?"
Jiang Yao was very honest: "Of course I don't want to go. I have to think about how to reject people for the entire meal. It takes too much brain cells."
Chen Yanbei's big hand slid from the top of her head to her cheek, his fingertips caressed the smooth skin of her cheek, and said, "If you don't want to go, don't go. Don't worry about Shao's side. I'll just call Shao Qili to reject him."
The Liang family is managed by Liang Yuze, and the Shao family is managed by Shao Qili. The director Shao who made the dinner appointment is Shao Qili’s cousin, whose full name is Shao Zhengrong. He has made several blockbuster martial arts films, and people in the industry respectfully call him Director Shao.
At the same time, he is also one of the shareholders of Shaw Brothers Pictures. Although he does not have many shares, in today's terms, he is both a capital and a famous director, and his buffs are stacked up. He is basically walking sideways in the industry.
As you can imagine, this must be a favorite in the eyes of many female stars.
Jiang Yao doesn't want Chen Yanbei to get involved in these matters. It is natural for her to face the worldly affairs of her work by herself. She relies on Chen Yanbei to handle everything for her. Then why should she have a career and be a rich wife at home? save trouble.
She nuzzled in his arms and said softly: "You have a busy day today. Take a good rest at home. I will come back as soon as possible after we finish talking."
Chen Yanbei didn't intend to let her go, so he put his big hands around her waist, slid it up and down, then quickly penetrated into the softness, and rubbed it gently and heavily.
"Don't leave, stay with me at home." The low tone was ambiguous and suggestive.
"Hmm~ha~" Jiang Yao pinched his lifeline, circled his arm and slid down. Her whole body was so weak that she couldn't stand.
Seeing that the atmosphere was on the verge of igniting again, the career strings in Jiang Yao's mind suddenly tightened, and her eyes regained some clarity. She must have a love mind...
She struggled to break free from his warm and generous embrace, blushing and coaxing him: "I have already promised to someone else, but I still have to go to the appointment. When I get home at night, can I wear the clothes you brought back?"
Last night, Chen Yanbei brought several sets of underwear back from Singapore to give to Jiang Yao. Last night, she just put them on and tried them on, but he immediately pushed her back and forth in front of the dressing mirror in the cloakroom, tossing them back and forth.
The set of underwear was torn in half on the spot.
After finishing it, I had to let her try another set, but that one was not spared either.
She still hasn't worn the one with garters.
Chen Yanbei didn't say anything, but stared at her deeply. He stretched out his big hand, pinched her waist, and carried her to the entrance. He kissed her passionately towards her brightly red mouth.
Jiang Yao closed her eyes and kept humming after being kissed by him, allowing him to ask for enough interest, and finally the two of them reluctantly separated.
Jin Jiang Hotel.
"Miss Jiang! This way!" Zha Liguo estimated that it was almost time, so he came out of the box and waited for Jiang Yao at the door of the hotel.
As soon as he saw the person, he immediately walked over with a smile on his face and said, "Isn't it a bit crowded from Central Central to this point? Director Shao has been here for a while. Come on, let's go in."
"Check the editor-in-chief." Jiang Yao greeted with a smile. She arrived at the right time. Unexpectedly, the other party came earlier, which made her seem late.
Zha Liguo led her all the way to the box and started laying the groundwork before he could wait: "Miss Jiang, Director Shao is very important in the film industry. If he can choose your novel, just wait for it to become popular. In the future, you won't be awarded a thousand words." How much is the remuneration? There are many people who come to you with money and beg you to write."
"This time, Director Shao is quite sincere. He even brought an actress over and asked you to take a look and see if the character matches the image of a heroine."
"Yeah." Jiang Yao nodded, with a polite and listening smile on her face.
There were still a few steps away from the box door. The box door was ajar, leaving a gap. Two voices floated out one after another——
"Director Shao, how about I go out and take a look? Editor-in-Chief Cha has been out for a while. Is it possible that Miss Jiang hasn't arrived yet..."
"No, you just sit here and drink with me. I'm just a little writer. There's no need for you to pick me up."
"Oops... annoying, people should come in soon... ah... ha..."
"Come to my room tonight and I'll give you a try..."
No one was seen, and one could tell what was going on inside just by hearing the noise.
Zha Liguo and Jiang Yao paused tacitly, waiting for silence inside.
After hearing no movement, Zha Liguo coughed twice, raised his hand and knocked on the door twice.
"Director Shao, Miss Jiang is here."
"come in."
Only then did Zha Liguo open the door. Inside the private room was a suite, separated by a screen. On one end of the screen was a large round table for dining, and on the other end was a sofa coffee table. Director Shao and the actress were sitting on the sofa.
Shao Zhengrong was wearing a shirt and vest, with a slightly chubby figure and black-framed glasses on his face.
The actress flipped her hair off her shoulders. If you look carefully, you can see that the lipstick on her lips is smudged.
Based on the sounds the two people made just now, Jiang Yao naturally knew what the two were doing inside. Before coming here, although she didn't know Shao Zhengrong, she knew that he was really talented in the movies he made, and she had also read news about his love with his wife in the newspaper.
It’s just that now I know more about him.
Jiang Yao had a polite smile on her face and said proactively: "Director Shao, I'm sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road. You've been waiting for a long time."
"Soon, Miss Jiang will come and sit here." Director Shao crossed his legs and patted the seat next to him. There was a gleam of amazement in his eyes, and he had no idea that a writer could be so beautiful.
Jiang Yao stood still and was just thinking about how to reply when she heard Editor Cha take over: "Director Shao, it's getting late. Let's talk while eating."
"Okay." Shao Zhengrong stood up, walked towards the round table next to him, pulled out the chair and sat down first, and the actress naturally sat on his left side.
He pointed to the seat on his right and said to Jiang Yao: "Ms. Jiang, sit closer so we can chat more easily."
This time Jiang Yao was asked to sit next to him by name.
Jiang Yao turned a blind eye to his hint, pulled out the chair next to him, turned to Zha Liguo and said, "Editor-in-Chief Zha, sit down."
Zha Liguo sat down bravely, and then Jiang Yao sat down, with a person between him and Shao Zhengrong.
Shao Zhengrong had never been insulted like this before, and his face immediately turned a little ugly.
"Hey, Director Shao, come and have some tea." Zha Liguo picked up the teapot on the table and poured it into the tea cups. On the left were the director and the Shao family, and on the right was the wife of the eldest son of the Chen family. He couldn't afford to offend anyone. , can only play the role of smoothing things over.
The dishes on the table gradually filled up, and the topic got to the point.
Zha Liguo said: "Ms. Jiang, Director Shao is very interested in your novel serialized in Ming Pao. I would like to take this opportunity today to sit down and have a chat to finalize the copyright matter."
Jiang Yao took over: "I didn't expect that my first novel would be approved by Director Shao. Thank you Director Shao for your appreciation."
Before coming to the dinner, she really meant what she said, but now, she was just being polite.
Unexpectedly, Shao Zhengrong took it seriously and put the chopsticks in his hand on the table. "I just told Editor-in-Chief Cha that I want to support young writers. Miss Jiang, I have read a little bit of your novel and there are many questions. At least it’s still far behind my standards.”
"Oh, Director Shao, what's the problem?" Jiang Yao asked casually after he had finished talking. Anyway, she was worried about how to reject Shao Zhengrong. Now that he said that her novel did not meet his standards, it saved her a reason to refuse.
Shao Zhengrong's expression was serious: "What kind of rubbish are you writing? You are a newcomer after all, and your level needs to be improved. The pace of the novel is too slow. Several women are fighting in the harem. It is not interesting, and the concept and structure are not big. "
"You delete all the scenes with Concubine Hua in the middle, add a few supporting actors, and then..."
Shao Zhengrong pointed at Jiangshan with a stern face and boasted for a long time.
Jiang Yao's novel has basically been changed beyond recognition.
Jiang Yao just treated him politely, but she didn't expect that the other party was actually out of breath. Her face was a little ugly, but she still maintained a polite expression:
"Director Shao, are you reviewing my novel as a reader or as a director?"
"If you are a reader, I think you are too deep into the drama to say this. After all, there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. If you are a director, I'm sorry, I am not a screenwriter of your company, and I am not your employee. , this is my creative freedom, you have no right to interfere."
The actress next to her observed her words and suddenly felt a little gloating: "Oh, Miss Jiang, look at you, when has our Director Shao ever given such detailed guidance to others? How many people have asked for it but still can't get it? Why don't you know what is good and what is good?" "
These words touched Shao Zhengrong's heart, and he snorted with a half-smile and glanced at Zha Liguo: "If Lao Zha hadn't recommended it to me again and again, based on my standard of selecting scripts, I might not have been able to like this. "
