Chapter 427 Don’t wrinkle my… skirt…

Li Luo looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who claimed to be a director, then looked down at his business card.

When Li Luo heard the other party mention Ying Zhicheng's name, he felt a little relieved and chatted with him briefly.

This director named Wang Jun was obviously invited by Wenyue Group to attend the annual meeting. He happened to hear people in the conference room talking about Reignite, so he came over to get to know them.

After chatting for a few words, Li Luo looked at the business card again as he watched Wang Jun say goodbye and leave.

The other authors came over to take a look, and one of the big guys said, "I know a little about that Wang Jun. He should have cooperated with Penguin frequently in recent years, and the films he made are pretty good."

Another author looked at Li Luo and said, "I remember that Ran Shen's Little Joy has only been on the shelves for a month? Has the film and television rights been taken?"

"Maybe it's just an intention." Li Luo said ambiguously, but not too sure.

Even though Ying Zhicheng is more optimistic and Wenyue Group is also actively pushing forward, Li Luo will not open the champagne in advance before things are settled and will remain conservative in his words.

"I should have participated in this writing competition earlier." An author sighed, "I really envy you guys. You all have sold the copyrights one by one."

"Try to get as much film and television copyright as possible for Little Joy." A well-known senior in the industry looked at Li Luo and said, "The price is not the point. The key is to sell it."

"Once an author has sold film and television copyrights, it is like having an extra mark on him."

"Compared to other people, it will be easier to sell the film and television copyrights of future works, and Wenyue is more willing to promote authors who have had successful cases before."

Perhaps it is because Li Luo is young, has great potential in the future, and can seize the opportunity of writing competitions to write works that have the potential to sell film and television rights. Therefore, even the platinum bosses are happy to make friends with Li Luo, and even tell him some inside information about the industry.

Li Luo naturally listened obediently.

In his previous life, he didn't understand the twists and turns here. Although Xu Youyu later became a great artist, on the one hand, their contact gradually became less and less. On the other hand, Xu Youyu was also a newly-risen great artist, just like he is now.

And they all come from writing urban entertainment novels.

You know, urban literature for men is one of the most difficult categories to sell copyrights.

The themes that sell well are mainly those related to specific professions, such as police stories, doctor stories, etc.

For the genre of entertainment, as time goes by and the industry becomes more formalized, it becomes harder to sell.

Li Luo gained a lot from chatting with these bigwigs who also came to attend the annual meeting in the conference hall.

During the period, senior executives from Wenyue Group also came, including editor Li Luo's direct superior, editor-in-chief Hongdou, and editor-in-chief Nanfeng. They were all present and chatted with the authors.

Hongdou even took Li Luo over to chat with Nanfeng for a while.

Mainly regarding the situation of "Little Joy", Huayue Film and Television has already made an offer and the two parties are in preliminary negotiations.

As a rising star, Li Luo is in charge of the copyright negotiations mainly conducted by Wenyue Group, who controls both the quotation and the content. Li Luo only has the power to agree or refuse.

But if Li Luo needs it, a lawyer can be arranged to sit in on the trial, and Wenyue can consider any reasonable opinions or suggestions.

To be honest, if Huayue Film and Television Company belonged to Ying Zhicheng alone, Li Luo would not have needed to upload "Little Joy" to Qidian at all. He could just show the script to Ying Zhicheng in private.

But it's a pity.

Huayue Film and Television is not something that Ying Zhicheng can make the final decision on alone.

Especially when it comes to investing in film and television dramas, it has always required a resolution from the board of directors.

After all, the ones who pay the money are the big shareholders behind this group.

If Ying Zhicheng directly took "Little Joy" written by Li Luo to the board meeting to propose it, even if Li Luo had the status of a great writer at Qidian, he would most likely be rejected.

But if "Little Joy" can be listed on the Qidian platform, win an award for the essay contest, and have the Wenyue Group pushing it from behind, the effect will be completely different.

To put it bluntly, a more authoritative background is needed to endorse Li Luo's "Little Joy".

Otherwise, you can't expect all the shareholders on the board of directors to read the original text of "Little Joy".

And even if they really watched it, these shareholders might not be able to tell whether this thing would be popular or not.

Therefore, selling copyrights often depends on bragging.

For example, if "Little Joy" can win the first prize in this year's realism-themed essay competition, we can brag about it then.

By the way, it also includes things like being ranked first in the monthly ticket list of reality-themed titles on Qidian for x number of months.

The latest masterpiece by the great writer Reignited from Qidian.

Then they hype up all kinds of data, and finally add a little content, fool the investors, sell the copyright, and that's it.

However, Li Luo still has a little bit of pursuit.

Therefore, when communicating with the editor-in-chief Nanfeng, I still added my own conditions, hoping that Wenyue could include them during the negotiations.

He has no other requirements, he just hopes that after the copyright is sold, he can be one of the screenwriters when the investor produces the film or TV series.

Of course, even if Wen Yue can’t do it, Ying Zhicheng will be able to arrange it for Li Luo by then.

After all, even if "Little Joy" is sold by then, after the screenwriter revises it into a script and then it passes it to the director, who knows if the plot will be changed beyond recognition.

If possible, Li Luo still hopes to reduce this risk as much as possible.

After all, he also wanted to do a TV drama collaboration with "I'm Really Not a Celebrity".

If this isn't shot well, his reputation will be ruined.

After chatting in the conference room for more than two hours, it was already 5:30 in the afternoon.

Everyone left one after another, went back to their rooms to pack up, and prepared to attend the dinner.

Li Luo also hurried back to room 5008 and swiped his card to enter.

As a result, as soon as I opened the door and pushed it open, what caught my eye was a sea of ​​white.

"what!"

Xu Youyu, who was in the room, screamed when she saw Li Luo coming in. She quickly held up her evening gown to cover her body and said with a red face, "You, you... stop staring at me!"

"Ahem... sorry, sorry..." Li Luo quickly looked away, closed the door, and walked into the bathroom.

It’s just that the power of the memory palace is so strong that after Li Luo only took a glance, the beautiful scenery was completely imprinted in his mind.

Fortunately, I still wear what I should wear.

But this was the first time in Li Luo's two lifetimes that he saw Xu Youyu wearing only his underwear.

Even on his last birthday, the room was pitch black with the lights off, so Li Luo couldn't see clearly.

But this time the light was bright and everything was visible.

I can only say that the senior sister has a really good figure... It was very obvious when she was wearing clothes, but I didn’t expect that it would be even more spectacular after she took off her clothes.

"Li, Li Luo."

Xu Youyu's voice came from outside.

"What's wrong?" Li Luo washed his face with cold water in front of the sink. After hearing the sound, he asked in confusion.

"You come out."

"Are you dressed?"

"Not yet." Xu Youyu frowned and said, "I can't reach the top of the zipper on the back. Come and help me."

"Oh, here we come."

Li Luo wiped his face and hands and walked out of the bathroom. He saw Xu Youyu standing by the bed, facing the balcony with his back to him.

At this time, she was already wearing the pale blue evening dress that Li Luo had bought for her. The style was relatively conservative, which better highlighted her youthfulness.

But at this moment, the zipper on her back was completely open, and most of her snow-white back was completely exposed in front of Li Luo.

When looking at a woman's figure, beginners would look at her breasts, while more experienced ones would look at her legs.

For a more advanced look, look at the hips and waist.

But if the lines and contours of the spine are very beautiful and pleasing to the eye, then the person's figure must not be too bad.

And Xu Youyu's back obviously met this requirement, even far exceeded it, which made Li Luo a little stunned.

It was not until Xu Youyu turned her head, gave him a coquettish look and urged him that Li Luo reacted. He hurriedly walked up behind Xu Youyu, held the zipper with one hand and pulled the fabric behind her with the other, slowly sealing the treasure in front of him.

"All right."

"Let me see~" After Xu Youyu confirmed that Li Luo had zipped her up, she couldn't wait to walk to the door.

The wardrobe was opened, and there was a floor-length mirror inside. Xu Youyu looked left and right in the mirror, turned around and looked again, then looked at Li Luo and asked with a smile: "How is it?"

"very beautiful."

"How beautiful."

"She's so pretty that you can't help but want to kiss her."

"Hmph, you have too many evil thoughts." Xu Youyu said this, but he couldn't help smiling. He walked to the suitcase and helped Li Luo take out the suit he brought with him.

Li Luo bought a gray suit, which was selected for him by Xu Youyu.

After watching Li Luo put on the suit, Xu Youyu simply helped him adjust his collar and hem, and even tied his tie for him personally.

Li Luo looked at Xu Youyu who was serious in front of him, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Senior sister, do you know how to tie a tie?"

"I didn't know how to do it before, but I learned it this afternoon." Xu Youyu glanced at him with a smile, helped him tie his tie, and then patted his chest, "Okay, go look at the mirror."

"No need to look." Li Luo hugged Xu Youyu and lowered his head to kiss him.

But Xu Youyu reacted quickly. He immediately turned his head and dodged with a smile, pushed him away, and pulled him to the mirror.

"Your true nature is showing." Xu Youyu asked him to look left and right in the mirror, and said angrily, "We kissed for a long time at the beach this afternoon, and my mouth is a little swollen. If you kiss again, people will notice it soon."

Li Luo touched his nose awkwardly, but when he looked into the mirror his eyes weren't looking at himself at all, but at Xu Youyu's alluring lips.

If you can resist doing some things, everything will be easy to deal with.

But once you have tasted it, it is hard to control yourself.

Li Luo is in almost the same state now, especially since he has been seduced and teased by Xu Youyu in the past two days.

After finally kissing her, Li Luo couldn't control himself when he thought that she was Sister You Yu from his previous life.

"It's almost time." Li Luo tried to control his subtle emotions at the moment, straightened his collar, and said, "Let's go downstairs to the restaurant."

"Well, let's go."

The two of them took their personal belongings such as mobile phones and room cards. Li Luo was about to open the door when he was stopped by Xu Youyu.

When he turned sideways, Xu Youyu had already leaned forward, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him lightly on the mouth. After a brief kiss, they immediately separated: "Okay, I've made it up to you. It's time to go."

Li Luo felt the soft touch remaining on his lips, took a deep breath, and pressed Xu Youyu against the wall.

"Hey! I've already compensated you... um... wait a minute... don't wrinkle my... um... skirt..."

……

"It's all your fault!"

Standing in the elevator, Xu Youyu took out his phone, turned on the selfie camera, and looked at his lips: "It feels so obvious."

"How is it obvious? It's obviously better looking." Li Luo said shamelessly.

"Humph." Xu Youyu rolled his eyes at him, "I compensated you before I left, but you still kissed me."

"I was holding back." Li Luo turned the tables and said, "Senior sister, you suddenly kissed me, it was like lighting a fire on oil."

"So you have to blame me?" Xu Youyu asked with his eyes wide open.

"Yes." Li Luo nodded affirmatively, "It's all your fault."

"shameless!"

When the elevator reached the second floor, the two finally ended their "quarrel".

Xu Youyu took the initiative to hold Li Luo's arm and walked into the French restaurant on the second floor.

The French restaurant here has been reserved by Wenyue Group tonight, and only those who can come in are invited to the annual meeting.

Li Luo and Xu Youyu found editor Qianzhou in the restaurant, and the three of them found a seat and sat down.

Authors who know Li Luo will say hello to him when they see him.

Many people couldn't help but look at Xu Youyu who was standing next to him.

Some authors who had an impression knew that going to bed early would make you taller, while those who didn't knew thought that Li Luo had brought his family with him.

After all, the rules allow authors to bring their families to the annual meeting.

But these people changed their minds and realized that Li Luo was still a high school student, so why did he bring a girlfriend with him?

When they think of this, many old authors who have been single for many years feel a little unbalanced.

Especially since Xu Youyu is so beautiful.

But soon, after Qianzhou sat down with the two of them, he took out two nameplates with a smile and handed them to Li Luo and Xu Youyu: "Put them on, they have your pen names on them."

"Because many of the authors at the scene are meeting for the first time, they may not be familiar with each other."

"So everyone has prepared a nameplate to wear on your chest, so that it will be easy for everyone to recognize each other."

When people around saw that Xu Youyu also got a pen name plate, many of them were shocked and realized that he was also an author.

At this time, someone who knew Xu Youyu from previous symposiums and salon activities whispered an introduction to him to the people next to him.

Many people's expressions suddenly became strange.

"Why do there exist such things as pen name plates?" Xu Youyu looked at the plate on his chest and felt a little embarrassed.

After all, if no one knows your pen name, even if you meet offline, others will not know what works you have written.

But once you know the pen name, you will naturally know what she wrote.

"Literary Era" is no longer an unknown magazine nowadays. It is at least a work with tens of thousands of subscriptions.

In the current situation where tens of thousands of subscriptions are scarce, many authors who usually like to read urban literature have more or less read this book.

When they found out that the person who went to bed early and grew taller was actually a girl, and she was so beautiful and young, many people were shocked.

Looking at the intimate relationship between Li Luo and Xu Youyu, everyone couldn't help but sigh, thinking that they were such a perfect match.

Not long after, it was six o'clock in the evening and the dinner officially began.

The French restaurant is in a semi-buffet style tonight.

Each table has fixed dishes served, but there are also buffet dishes that can be picked up from the side.

Li Luo and the other two were eating with gusto. When the meal was halfway through, some people started to get up and started walking around the tables.

Li Luo was not interested in this kind of thing. He pulled Xu Youyu to the side to find other delicious food and brought them all to the table.

If someone came over to toast him, he would politely raise the Coca-Cola in his goblet and toast back.

Relying on his status as a minor, no one dared to let him drink.

But to be honest, the gray suit that Xu Youyu picked for him was a good choice.

Although it is not a high-end custom-made style, Li Luo has a slender figure and long-term exercise has put him in good shape.

Wearing a gray suit which had a more textured feel, he looked more mature overall and less like a student.

Combined with his mature personality, at first glance, he looks more like a young man in his twenties.

Li Luo and Xu Youyu were sitting at their seats enjoying the food, and from time to time people came over to toast and get to know them.

In the end, even the president of Wenyue Group came over to toast, paused for several minutes with Li Luo, and talked about matters related to the film and television copyright of "Little Joy".

"Is Uncle Ying already discussing the copyright of your book?" Xu Youyu asked curiously.

"Shh!" Li Luo watched the president walk away, but still reached out to cover Xu Youyu's mouth and whispered, "Don't talk about my relationship with Uncle Ying outside."

After all, Wenyue Group obviously didn't know that Li Luo and Ying Zhicheng were neighbors, and had a close relationship with the other person's daughter. The two families were neighbors in their hometown.

At this critical moment of selling copyright, it is better not to let outsiders know about these tricks.

"Oh oh." Xu Youyu immediately shut up and nodded vigorously. Then, in front of Qianzhou, he kissed Li Luo and said, "I'll apologize to you, okay?"

good or not?
it is good!
What a fart!
Qianzhou on the opposite side saw this scene. Although he didn't know what the two were whispering about, seeing such an intimate scene still made his face darken and his heart was hit by tons of attacks.

Originally Qianzhou thought that coming to Qiongzhou on a business trip was at least a paid vacation.

Now it seems that the compensation for mental damage is not small!

Will the company reimburse me?
I can't stand it anymore!
