Chapter 63 Pirates of the Caribbean
After Chen’s father concluded this inspection, Chen Linfeng also returned home.
At this time, the results of this year’s college entrance examination are out, and the test papers can also be found.
Chen Linfeng spent two days trying to complete the paper and then graded the answers.
Referring to the top scores in Central Plains Province disclosed in newspapers, Chen Linfeng's results can probably be ranked between 20-50 in the province.
He is quite satisfied with this result. He will work harder in his senior year of high school and improve some points. He will try to make big news in the college entrance examination next year.
A few days later, Sister Mei came to see me.
She entered the study room holding a stack of books and placed them on the table.
"Xiao Feng, Disney China has contacted me."
Chen Linfeng was lying on the bed teasing Xiaoyun Miao, and asked without looking back, "What are you doing to contact me? Ask Pixar Something? ”
Sister Mei shook her head, picked up Xiao Yunmiao from Chen Linfeng's chest, put it on the floor of the living room, and closed the door.
Xiaoyun was angrily scratching at the door outside.
As soon as Chen Linfeng saw this posture, he knew that there was something serious to talk about.
He sat up cross-legged and asked, "If you're not asking about Pixar, what are you asking us for?"
Sister Mei leaned against the door and said, "I heard it's their Emily Ken The headquarters has asked you to discuss the copyright of a few songs.”
She told Chen Linfeng the cause and effect of the incident.
To promote their pirate theme park, Disney has made a movie, which is currently in the process of filming.
When Sister Mei mentioned this, Chen Linfeng already understood which movie it was.
One day, when the director of this film was visiting a bookstore, he heard the bookstore owner playing a song he had never heard before. He stopped and listened for a while.
I feel that if this piece of music is used as the soundtrack for a movie I am filming, it would be a perfect match.
The director immediately bought the CD and found the composer of the record through Disney, who was none other than Chen Linfeng.
I have to say that this is all due to the editor-in-chief of Kodansha, Nobuhiko Noma. Oh, he is now the editor-in-chief.
He asked his subordinates to collect information about Teacher Qilin, and finally found the record released by Chen Linfeng during the winter vacation in 2000.
In line with the idea of doing something when there is nothing, Kodansha notified Chen Linfeng, engraved some of them, and put them on sale in Neon. Although it did not become a big hit, there was still a market for it. .
Kodansha also has channels for selling in America, so a small part of this record also flowed into North America.
Pure music albums are generally not liked by ordinary music lovers, and some practitioners buy them more.
That bookstore is an independent bookstore that mainly caters to Hollywood professionals. Unexpectedly, the director of Pirates of the Caribbean heard about it.
This can be regarded as a certain degree of God’s will.
After going back and forth like this, Disney headquarters finally sought cooperation through its Huaguo branch.
After Sister Mei said this, she solemnly asked, "Can you let me talk about Disney China this time?"
Chen Linfeng looked at her in surprise.
"Xiao Feng, I have always been your agent in the film and television industry, communicating with production companies and media in the industry. As a writer, I only play the role of an assistant."
< br>She said with some inexplicable emotion, "I thought we had made rapid progress, but this time I saw you negotiating with Pixar in Hollywood.
To be honest, I was a little worried that I would not be able to keep up in the future. Your development speed.”
Chen Linfeng did not expect that Sister Mei, who has always been fast-moving, decisive and capable, would have such worries.
He said with relief, "No, as you said, you have made rapid progress."
"It's still not fast enough!" Sister Mei said with some excitement, "I need to be respected. , I can't just rely on you to lead me, I have to make my own contribution."
She said in a pleading tone, "I'll go talk to them, it's really not possible, can you take action again. ?”
Chen Linfeng can understand Sister Mei’s character very well. She graduated from junior high school and was forced to drop out of school because her father felt that girls did not need to go to school.
So I have developed a strong character and don’t want others to look down on me. Since becoming Chen Linfeng's agent and assistant in recent years, he has been enriching himself.
Because Chen Linfeng has cooperative business in Neon and North America, he has also started to learn these two foreign languages by himself. Now he can roughly understand them, but he is not very good at speaking them yet.
This is a negotiation between Disney China and no foreign language is involved. Of course Chen Linfeng is willing to let Sister Mei do the negotiation.
"Actually, I don't really like talking to others about this kind of thing. It would be great to have someone do it for me."
Sister Mei had a look of surprise on her face, "I will definitely do it. I’ll try my best to get the best conditions for you.”
Chen Linfeng quickly reassured her, "You don't have to feel pressure. Disney is different from other companies. They are very domineering. If you don't fight for it, the result won't be much different."
Sister Mei said speechlessly, "Yes. Are you so discouraged?"
Chen Linfeng repeatedly emphasized to Sister Mei that negotiation is the most important thing. You can try to win the revenue. Copyright is the most difficult to deal with. If you can't negotiate, give up, because Disney has always been in this regard. It's hard to talk.
Sister Mei thought of the last time when Pixar and Chen Linfeng were negotiating at Sprout, both parties mentioned Disney, and they both had the attitude of facing a big boss, and nodded thoughtfully.
After confirming Chen Linfeng's bottom line again and again, she talked about another thing.
She patted the book she had just brought over and told her story.
Here are some books that will be published this year.
The publishing house where these books are located has cooperated with Moya, and then through Moya, Sister Mei passed it on to Chen Linfeng and invited him to write some recommendations.
"Merting said, pick a few books that you think are good and just write them down."
The stack of these books is as high as half an arm, and you can touch about one or two. Ten copies.
Sister Mei smiled and said, "You are really treated like a famous person. People are starting to ask you to write recommendations." The reason for the big sale, otherwise how could he start to give him status at this time.
Chen Linfeng picked up a book and flipped through it.
As his books have become more and more popular in recent years, many authors have been attracted to change their style and write in the direction of popular novels.
And because Chen Linfeng’s books have always been famous for their compact plots and exquisite designs, many new generation authors are also learning this routine.
The book he opened was like this, writing a story about traveling to the near future world and fighting super-powered criminals.
Chen Linfeng took a closer look and found that the setting of this future world was somewhat similar to the first "Book of Life and Death" he wrote.
But it’s a bit nondescript. The smartphone was changed into a handheld computer, and the national live broadcast was changed into a small mobile camera.
It is quite interesting to watch. The most important thing is that the plot is very tense and attractive to watch.
It would be great to copy the works of the past life and then let the author of this life write similar ones for him to read.
Sister Mei watched Chen Linfeng engrossed in reading and opened the door that was closed just now without disturbing him.
The little cloud cat outside had been waiting impatiently, and rushed out quickly, and then yelled and cursed at the hateful woman.
Sister Mei looked at it angrily.
After all this time, this little kitten is still only close to Xiaofeng and doesn't like her.
And especially vindictive.
At this moment, it was obvious that he had a grudge against her, and he stretched out his paw to give her a lick.
Sister Mei squatted down to tease the cat, stretched out her hand from a distance, and from time to time quickly reached out to touch the cat's head while avoiding the claws.
Chen Linfeng looked helplessly at Sister Mei's rare childlike moments. This person and the cat were always fighting each other. He didn't know if they were of the same sex.
He read the book for a while and glanced at the thickness of the pile of books on the table. He felt that he would not be able to finish them all today.
Chen Linfeng put down the book in his hand and roughly browsed through other books, planning to pick out a few to read today.
"Huh?"
He saw a familiar name.
Is this "Flowers Falling in Dreams" written by Guo Xiaosi?
