    Lin You smiled and replied back, “Elder Zhang, I just graduated from high school, I haven’t considered the direction of employment yet, everything will have to wait until after I graduate from college.”

    Zhang Yadong put down the paperwork in his hand, still looking at Lin You, and said, “Well then, let’s talk about the agenda of cooperation.”

    “This copywriting of yours, it’s very interesting, but you have to understand that the copywriting is only a very small part of a movie, if it is to be turned into a movie, there are a lot of aspects involved, such as the fame of the lead actor and the flow effect, the ability of the director, the investment of the movie, and the late stage of the promotion and dissemination, all of which are very important.”

    “I mean, you can sell me the copy, I’ll buy it outright and adapt it, and don’t worry about what we do afterward.”

    “As for the price?” Zhang Yadong thought about it and said, “How about one hundred thousand dollars?”

    “It’s quite a lot for you, a high school student, to get a hundred thousand dollars at once, so if you don’t agree, we’ll talk again.”

    Although Lin You is young, but also know the businessman’s set, sit on the ground to increase prices, on the ground to pay back, not to mention the immediate this Zhang boss, but the entertainment industry predator, this set of play even more comfortable.

    Lin You smiled blandly and said, “Mr. Zhang thinks that this copy of mine is only worth 100,000 dollars? If Mr. Zhang also has this vision, there is no need for us to talk anymore.”

    After saying that, Lin You was about to grab the paperwork in Zhang Yadong’s hand and made a gesture to leave.

    Zhang Yadong put the copy on the table, had his hand pressed down, laughed: “Young people don’t be so hairy, anything can be talked about, you have to know, this copy of yours, there is no traffic added, unlike some top ranked online novels, which themselves bring their own traffic.”

    “It’s still a big risk for us to invest in your project.”

    “Tell you what, how about I give you screen writers to type your name on, and another hundred thousand dollars as is?”

    “There’s no telling, you’ll be an overnight sensation, it’s possible.”

    Lin You shook his head and laughed, “Boss Zhang, still didn’t understand what I meant ah.”

    “Let me put it to you this way, for this movie of mine, I have to be the director, and the male and female, must be chosen by me, as for the screenwriter’s money, I can not take a single cent, and I don’t want the director’s money, I only want a twenty percent share after the movie is released.”

    “As far as distributing the movie, I would suggest distributing it online, as a web series.”

    “Of course, if you have better suggestions and channels, you can also distribute it in theaters, which I have no objection to.”

    After Lin You made this request, Zhang Yadong fell silent, this was no longer something that could be negotiated by adding money.

    Lin You’s request, has far exceeded Zhang Yadong’s heart bottom line, that is, this job, has been unable to negotiate.

    Zhang Yadong released his hand that was pressing down on the paperwork, leaned back with his body and pillowed his head with both hands, and said, “Mr. Lin, your scores from the college entrance exam should be out, right, how many points did you score? Which university are you going to apply for?”

    Since the project can not be negotiated, let’s talk about people, Zhang Yadong is a businessman, naturally knows the importance of investing in talent.

    Lin You didn’t move and said, “My name is Lin You, if you are interested, you can check my score on the education network right now, and I’ll tell you my pass number.”

    “As for which university I’m going to apply for, you should be able to guess by looking at what I’m doing now, the North Theater and the North Film are too far away from here after all, and I still have an old man and a younger sister at home that I need to take care of, so I can only be close by, and the Magic City Drama Academy is more suitable for me.”

    “As for a major? Director’s Department.”

    Zhang Yadong instantly became interested, picked up the cell phone on the table, clicked on the education network, entered Lin You’s name and then asked, “Pass number?”

    Lin You reported his pass number to Zhang Yadong, who clicked on Lin You’s results screen and said with a shocked face, “You’re this year’s top science student?”

    “Disrespectful, let’s put it this way, after you graduate as a director, you can intern in my company, and later sign us directly as well, guaranteed base plus commission, I promise I won’t treat you badly.”

    Big people are very artful in their speech, they will not say the words to death, Zhang Yadong only said that he would not treat himself poorly, as for how not to treat himself poorly, how much money is the guarantee, how much is the signing fee, how much is the commission for a movie, and how much is it if he participates in the screenwriting, he didn’t say anything about it.

    Lin You understood Zhang Yadong’s approach, but at least this project, it seems that there is no way to cooperate, Lin You did not want to waste time, picked up the copy on the table, in front of Zhang Yadong’s face into his own cloth bag, stood up and said, “Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Zhang, after I graduate, I will definitely consider your company first.”

    Since Zhang Yadong doesn’t say the words to death, then how can he himself say the words to death.

    Zhang Yadong nodded with an appreciative face, Then it’s a deal, Mr. Lin You, I’ll wait for your good news.

    After Lin You left Universal Studios, he looked at the time, it was almost five o’clock, there was no more time to find another entertainment company today, Lin You decided to eat out first, go back to the dormitory, and make plans for tomorrow.

    While walking to a hot pot restaurant, Lin You suddenly wanted to eat hot pot, eating hot pot in summer, the main thing is a cool.

    However, eating hot pot alone makes you look lonely and is not cost effective.

    Lin You although now is to earn a lot of money, but from the freedom of wealth there is still a distance, coupled with Lin You usually thrifty used to, a person to eat hot pot, the cost of the bottom of the pot no one to share equally, very uneconomical, Lin You decided to find a few people, to come to eat together.

    Picking up the phone, Lin You suddenly had a moment of bewilderment.

    One’s acquaintances in this city could be said to be few and far between, and if one really wanted to say that they were familiar with them, it was only a few sisters from the Lin family, plus Lin Tianyang.

    Now Lin Tianyang is estimated to still be in prison desperately stepping on the sewing machine, his own several sisters, not in Lin You’s consideration.

    Then there are their own classmates, and the ones who really get along are Li Ruochen, Zhang Xi, and a few others.

    Zhang Xi was currently learning how to make vegetables at Mopan Mountain, so the only one left was Li Ruochen.

    But Li Ruochen seems to be “working in a bar or KtV, these places, this time of the year, just when it starts to get busy, after all, the nightlife has just begun.

    Lin You found Li Ruochen’s phone number and dialed it.

    The phone rang for a long time, no one answered, if it was a ktv or a bar, the sound inside was huge, I guess Li Ruochen didn’t hear the phone ringing.

    Just as Lin You was about to hang up the phone, the call connected.

    Lin You “Hey” two times, the opposite side of the noisy people, and then heard Li Ruochen gasping voice: “Bosses, I’m just a waiter not accompanied by alcohol, I’m still a student, bosses just let me go.”

    Then we heard several men’s lewd laughter: “Students good ah, pure ah, little sister do not say, your blood is still there? That little master can earn a lot of money, hahaha, this face, this breast, this long legs, is simply the best on earth ah.”

    “Just you look like this, dare to tell me, you are not a chaperone lady, I tell you, you serve me well, I will give you 10,000 oceans, enough for a student girl, a few semesters of tuition.”

    What followed was a ripping sound and a woman’s scream.

    Then there was the sound of a cell phone falling to the floor and the hissing of electricity as it disconnected.
