Chapter 242 The Rich and Idle Man
After Wu Mengting’s reminder, Yang Ziying finally remembered her previous relationship with Chen Feng.
She said with some emotion: "Mr. Chen, he is really a very nice person. I remember that he took the initiative to get out of the way for me and didn't even look at me. At first, I thought he was mine. Fans are blocking the road."
Wu Mengting quickly said with embarrassment: "My brother, he has never been there. Not chasing stars, just like the last time we had dinner with Zhang Yuxi, he was not excited at all and didn't talk much to Zhang Yuxi. She is also a very beautiful female star. If it were anyone else, he would have nothing to say to her. , Flattery is enough.”
“Oh, do you know Zhang Yuxi?” Yang Ziying was a little surprised.
Wu Mengting nodded proudly and said: "Of course we know each other. My brother is friends with the major shareholder of the company where Zhang Yuxi signed a contract. Then his friend invited Zhang Yuxi to treat him, and we got to know her."
Yang Ziying's eyes flashed slightly when she heard this, and she said casually: "So, your brother is great, what does he do?"
Wu Mengting smiled slightly and said: "My brother is mainly also now Just speculate in stocks, otherwise I have also invested in some industries. I am very free most of the time, otherwise he would not have taken us out to Europe for so long this time. We have been here for almost a month.”
Yang Ziyingruo. Thoughtful point The head said: "Your brother turned out to be a rich and idle man."
Wu Mengting smiled and said: "Your description is really right. He is indeed considered a rich and idle man now. The one who has money and leisure. species.”
Yang Ziying said with envy: "Your brother is really enviable. Many people have no time to make money. And if they want to have time, they can't easily make big money."
"For me, I still don't want to be too idle. It's not a matter of making money or not, but if people are too idle, they will feel useless after a while."
"Then are you idle now? ?" Yang Ziying asked with a smile.
Wu Mengting said helplessly: "It is considered a vacation now. Although I am a little free, when this vacation is over, I will definitely be busy when I go back."
"Oh, you What kind of work do you do?" Yang Ziying asked curiously.
"Well, my main job now is to be my brother's personal assistant, and my side job is writing. I am an online writer."
"Are you an online writer, writing female videos? What works have you written? ? When I have free time, I like to read female novels. I have also starred in several TV series adapted from online novels. "
Yang Ziying is really curious this time.
Wu Mengting was a little embarrassed, but still said a little reservedly: "I have written two books before, "The Fate of the Golden Hairpin" and "The Story of Lianyu", and now I am writing a new book."
Yang Ziying immediately opened her eyes wide with a shocked expression, opened her mouth and said: "You are An What a coincidence. I'm a big fan of yours. I've read both of your books, and I like your "The Golden Hairpin" the best. I wanted to buy your novel at first. I even contacted your contracting website about the film and television adaptation rights, but in the end we couldn’t agree on the price, so we had to give up.”
Hearing what Yang Ziying said, Wu Mengting was also shocked and a little unbelievable: "Real or fake?!"
"Of course it is true." Yang Ziying nodded seriously, "The heroine of "The Golden Hairpin" Her name is An Lingling, right? She was originally a concubine from the An family in Beijing. , had a very hard life since she was a child, but she has always been self-reliant. When she was designated by her family for marriage, she mustered up the courage to escape from the family, disguised herself as a man and wandered around the world..."
Yang Ziying said " The story of "The Golden Hairpin" is probably true. Is this still fake? No wonder Wu Mengting didn't believe it.
"This...this...I don't even know what to say." Wu Mengting was very excited and excited, "I never dreamed that a big star like you would be a fan of my books."< br>
Yang Ziying smiled and said: "I never dreamed that I would meet my favorite online writer like this. I can only say that the two of us are really destined."
"It's quite fate. I'll call you Sister Ying from now on, okay?" Wu Mengting looked hopeful.
Although Yang Ziying is not the female star she used to like very much, there is no doubt that Yang Ziying is one of the top female stars in the country. Wu Mengting can't help but be impressed that she can have a good relationship with her and even call her sister. There is light on the face.
Yang Ziying smiled and nodded: "Of course. I am a fan of your books."
"That's great. Sister Ying, I can add you on WeChat."
"No problem."
Yang Ziying took the initiative to take out her mobile phone, opened WeChat and scanned it for her.
The two quickly added friends. Wu Mengting became even more happy and said with a smile: "I really want to take a photo with you now and post it on Moments, but last time I posted a photo with Zhang Yuxi. Later, it caused me a lot of trouble."
Yang Ziying said generously: "If you want to post our photos on WeChat, I personally have no objection, but my WeChat ID is. Don’t let it out casually.”< br>
Wu Mengting nodded repeatedly: "Of course. Last time some of my relatives and friends asked me for Zhang Yuxi's contact information, but I didn't give it to them."
Yang Ziying explained: "You also know, if If my personal contact information is leaked, many people will harass me. Then my contact information will have to be invalidated and replaced with a new one. Then I will have to notify my relatives and friends to add it again, which is very troublesome.”
Wu Mengting quickly promised: "I understand. Don't worry. I won't leak it. Even if my brother and Anna want it, I won't give it to them."
Yang Ziying smiled and said: "If your brother and the others want it, , It doesn’t matter, you can give it to them, but you have to remind them not to let it out.”
“Thank you very much. If they want it, I will tell them. By the way, you just said you wanted to buy the film and television adaptation rights of "The Golden Hairpin". Can you tell me what your price was at that time? My contract website didn't notify you. Me."
Yang Ziying said calmly: "Our quotation was 2 million at the beginning, and later it was increased to 3 million, but you The signing website required 5 million, and in the end we had no choice but to give up. Sorry, you should know that in Shangyanshang, the popularity of "The Golden Hairpin" at that time was evaluated by the person in charge of copyright in my studio, and it was worth more than 200 at most. Ten thousand, three million is already a premium, but obviously the website you signed up for is more optimistic.
Things have passed. It’s been about more than a year. If we talk about it now, the film and television copyright of "The Golden Hairpin" is indeed worth 5 million, but now there are too many TV series adapted from female channel novels, and many companies are tightening the adaptation in this aspect. And the shooting plan. If you want to sell the rights, I can ask the people in my studio to re-evaluate.”
Wu Mengting smiled bitterly and shook her head and said: "The copyright of my two books has been fully handed over to the website agent. I can't make the decision personally."
Of course Yang Ziying also knew this, and comforted her with a smile: "I feel sorry for you. I like the writing style very much. If you are interested, I will definitely You can write a novel for which you own the copyright. After writing it, you can seek to publish it, or publish it on the Internet for free. I can help you promote it, and if you think it is appropriate, I can even buy the copyright of your book. By the way, you can write it. Have you signed a contract for your new book? ”
< br>Wu Mengting said: "I have written more than 20,000 words. I originally wanted to save 50,000 words before submitting for signing, but because I have to travel to Europe, I postponed it." "Isn't that just right? I believe it Your writing style, as long as you write this book carefully and write it well, you can do it yourself It has been published. I believe Mr. Chen will also help you. At that time, I will also consider purchasing the film and television rights of your book, and even invest in filming."
Yang Ziying's words. It can be said that it opened the door to a whole new world for Wu Mengting.
Before, she had never thought of taking the publishing route directly, let alone holding the copyright herself. Because this is almost impossible. The first is that she has no money, and the traditional publishing industry is in decline. If you want to publish, you have to have someone to support you, or you have already become famous all over the country. Wu Mengting has neither, so how could she pursue physical publishing?
But now she is different. First of all, she is convinced that as long as she is willing, someone will support her, and that is Chen Feng. Secondly, the big star Yang Ziying also said that she will support her, and it will definitely not be false. She recommended helping with publicity, and with a little money, publishing wouldn't be that difficult.
"Thank you sister, your words really opened the door to a new world for me. I used to be satisfied as long as I earned some royalties, but now you have told me a brand new choice, although I also I know it may be difficult, but I’m fine anyway, I can definitely give it a try.”
“You. With such ability, I believe you can definitely succeed if you are willing. In addition, you have an outstanding brother like Mr. Chen. I think he will help you. I believe in your writing ability, so should Mr. Chen? "
"Of course. He has also read the book I wrote and praised me for my good writing."
"That's it. I believe he will support you."
"Well. If I ask him, he will definitely be willing. However, I must write the novel first, and I can't let him down. "
"I believe you can write it well."
"Thank you."
The two then talked about some online novels, and Yang Ziying was actually very interested in online novels. He was very understanding, which amazed Wu Mengting.
After the two of them lay on the bed and chatted for more than an hour, they slowly stopped talking and fell asleep.
The next day, everyone got up a little late. Chen Feng got up relatively early, at around eight o'clock, and the three girls didn't get up until almost nine-thirty.
Today, Chen Feng and his party planned to visit the Art History Museum, which is not far from their hotel. Therefore, after Yang Ziying also expressed her intention to go with her, no one refused.
So, they added the big star Yang Ziying to their group.
Although in the local area, foreigners don’t know her, the Rabbit National University star, but after the experience of being recognized by those international students yesterday, Yang Ziying still put on a mask.
A few people watched the museum for two or three hours, and then went out. Anna led them to a Western restaurant to eat. Her recommendation was right. The main dish here was fried steak, which really tasted special.
This meal was Yang Ziying’s insistence, and Chen Feng and the others couldn’t refuse.
After lunch, we rested for a while. Originally, everyone planned to go to the Belvedere Palace next to the embassy, but Yang Ziying just received a call from the embassy. The thief who broke into the house yesterday was caught. Yes, her stolen items have been recovered and she needs to go to the police station to verify them now.
Of course Chen Feng and the others couldn't let Yang Ziying go there alone, so they followed her to the local police station.
After identification and verification, Yang Ziying was very lucky to get back all her stolen things.
I don't know whether her luck is good or bad.
In short, after some thanks and formalities, Yang Ziying and Chen Feng finally came out of the police station smoothly.
“Thank you again.” Yang Ziying solemnly thanked Chen Feng and the others.
Wu Mengting shook her head and said: "Sister, you are really too polite."
Chen Feng also said: "You don't have to be too outspoken. We are all compatriots of the same country after all, and we meet each other when we go out. , I can help even if I don’t know him, let alone a big star like you.”
"In your eyes, am I, a big star, no different from an ordinary person?" Yang Ziying asked with a hint of coquettishness.
Chen Feng was stunned and said with a smile: "Of course it's different. You are a recognized queen in our country and a big star. You represent the face of our country to a certain extent. If something happens to you abroad, we will People in the country, at least your fans, will feel ashamed.”
“Thank you for the compliment.” Yang Ziying smiled and said, “My agent and assistant have been off the plane soon. Then they will come to the hotel. I have to go back to the hotel and wait. I can’t go shopping with you anymore. If you are free, we can have a good time together.”
“Okay.” He agreed, "Let's get together after we go back in the evening."
So, for safety reasons, Chen Feng and the others sent Yang Ziying to the hotel first, and then drove their rented car to the Belvedere Palace.
This is the famous Prince Eugen Palace in European history. Some of the ancient buildings inside are nothing to Chen Feng and others who have seen the Forbidden City. However, the garden design here is quite good, and the more important thing is the fine art in the building. The museum has many collections of fine art, which are relatively well-known around the world.
The area is relatively large. A few people walked around, taking photos from time to time, and then went into the Art Museum to stroll around slowly. The afternoon was quickly passed.
When we returned to the hotel, it was almost eight o'clock. The three women were all tired now and were too lazy to find a place to eat outside. They planned to eat directly in the hotel, then take a shower and go to bed.
As soon as they returned to the hotel, Wu Mengting contacted Yang Ziying, and then Yang Ziying said that she and her agent wanted to treat them to dinner at a high-end restaurant near the hotel.
Chen Feng refused at first. After all, Yang Ziying had already invited her at noon, but Yang Ziying was very insistent. Chen Feng could not refuse anymore. Anyway, Yang Ziying was not short of money.
So the four of them simply waited in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel until Yang Ziying showed up with her agent and two assistants.
They are all female, but her agent Hao Xiaolian looks like a girl, has neat short hair, a flat chest, and wears a suit. If it weren’t for the fact that his voice is female and his name is female, Chen Feng would really As if she were a man.
