Chapter 202: Confirmation
Lian Xiao couldn’t do anything about her and hung up the phone to contact his friends in the circle to keep an eye out for the relevant people.
Wen Li sent a text message to Wen Se, asking him to help introduce a team of lawyers in the industry to her.
A few minutes after the message was sent, Huasi called her over and told her that he would arrange a team of lawyers as soon as possible and asked her to be patient.
——-
Wen Li sat in a cafe near the Nanjiang Film Academy.
After about a few minutes, a man in a plaid shirt pushed open the glass door of the caf茅, walked up to the second floor booth card seat, and sat across from Wen Li.
Today Fang Chen suddenly called her, saying that he had returned from his hometown and asking if she had time.
Wen Li immediately replied “free” and agreed to meet at a caf茅 near the Film Academy.
Wen Li lifted her eyelids and glanced towards the man who was seated, the other party was a clear and shy boy, stuttering a little because of nervousness.
“Hug …… hug sorry, I …… my instructor …… refers to instructing my thesis… …Somewhat late, come come …… come late.”
Wen Li smiled faintly, “It’s okay, it’s not like I’ve been waiting for a long time.”
She picked up the menu on the side and placed it in front of his table, “Drink what you want to order yourself.”
Fang Chen shook his head, his hands hanging down on the cushions of the sofa in a hasty manner, nervously speaking, “No no need …… I…I’ll drink plain water.”
At this moment, the staff came over and picked up a cup of warm white water from the tray and placed it in front of his table, inquiring him, “Sir, what would you like to drink?”
Fang Chen swallowed nervously, “I …… I’ll just drink plain water.”
Wen Li raised her eyes to the service staff and said softly, “Give him a cup of coffee, whatever coffee.”
Fang Chen revealed a smile, “Thank you …… I…I usually don’t do this, it’s just that I’m a little nervous when I meet a stranger in an unfamiliar environment, I won’t be like this after getting along for a long time.”
Wen Li nodded slightly, expressing her understanding.
Fang Chen’s left hand trembled as he picked up the white water on the table, because his movements were shaking too obviously, he awkwardly grabbed his left wrist with his back hand and drank a few mouthfuls of warm white water, during which drops of water fell on his black and white plaid shirt.
Wen Li averted her eyes and secretly thought, “He is really nervous.”
Wen Li wore a smile and said in a soft voice, “Did Mr. Fang graduate from college this year?”
Fang Chen nodded vigorously and shook his head vigorously.
Wen Li looked at him blankly, how many meanings?
Yes or no?
Fang Chen put down his water cup and swallowed the warm water, “Yes and no …… I …… I should graduate next year …… but …… but I finished my studies ahead of schedule …… I only need to finish my biography and thesis to leave school.”
Wen Li nodded indistinctly and inquired, “What are you considering, Mr. Fang? Whether to sell the copyright?”
Fang Chen rubbed his hands together, his gaze falling on the waiter at the stairway who was carrying coffee, and only when the waiter was carrying a cup of strong coffee in front of him did he slowly speak, “Miss Wen …… are you preparing to adapt it for a movie?”
Wen Li’s white fingertips rubbed against the rim of the coffee cup and smiled back, “Yes, I’m preparing to invest in a movie.”
Fang Chen frowned and asked, “Is Ms. Wen’s team professionals? If they are not professionals, I …… don’t really accept script adaptations.”
The Road to the Mountain was created by him with all his heart and soul, and most of the movies and TV dramas filmed on the market go against the meaning conveyed by the original creator, so if he is not a professional, he would rather not sell the copyright.
Wen Li looked serious and replied seriously, “Mr. Fang, I understand what you mean, if you are willing, I would like to invite you to be the director of the filming of ‘The Mountain’s Road’, you are a graduate of the film academy, this is your profession I believe you can excel at it, in addition, aren’t you short of a biography work? I think ‘The Way of the Mountain’ is the best biopic.”
Fang Chen looked at the other party with a surprised face, his eyes full of incredulity, he had previously pulled investment for “The Road of the Mountain” and was ready to publish the movie and TV drama, but the investor was unwilling to shoot with a new director and refused to invest.
“Are you …… you serious? Do …… you really not mind if I …… am a newcomer director shooting?”
Wen Li laughed: “Your own work should be clearer than anyone else about the meaning conveyed, it’s just that …… the subsequent recruitment of actors needs to be completed by yourself, I only care about the investment.”
The smile on Fang Chen’s face was like a flower blooming, smiling sweetly, and said happily, “Miss Wen don’t worry about leaving it to me, I’ve filmed a few microfilms, and I’m very clear about the process of the pre-preparation work.”
The pre-production work for the preparation of a new movie was complicated and tedious, and it seemed a bit unkind to press all matters on Fang Chen’s shoulders.
Wen Li pondered for a moment, “Mr. Fang, why don’t I introduce you to a few familiar personnel? Relying on you alone to preside over the movie shooting is a bit too tiring.”
“Ms. Wen, my filming team is my roommate, they have good abilities, they can edit, they can publicize and they can film, if you don’t mind, can I extend my team?”
Having a ready-made filming team saved a lot of things, but she was a little worried about whether the filming team’s personnel were reliable and whether their working ability was as he said.
Wen Li pondered for a while and spoke out, “Can you send me their resumes?”
Fang Chen nodded vigorously, without the nervousness he had felt earlier, and after adding his friends, he immediately sent his roommate’s resumes over.
During this time, he had been telling Wen Li that his roommate had a strong work ethic, could carry a camera, and could endure the pain of suffering, and was definitely the best person for the job.
Wen Li flipped through the resume sent over by Fang Chen, and found that his roommates are all excellent, the award-winning work has a high gold content, and the work in the upper right corner of the resume, the production of a beautifully edited fusion, can’t see a trace of editing, called the excellent team.
“Congratulations on the success of your team to join, just I have a condition.”
Fang Chen couldn’t stop the smile on his face and said with a laugh, “Ms. Wen please say.”
Wen Li closed the screen of her phone and placed it on the table, her gaze looking straight at the clear face, “Mr. Fang in order to ensure that the filming of ‘The Road to the Mountain’ is completed, I need to sign a contract with your team to guarantee that the follow up work is carried out smoothly.”
The smile on Fang Chen’s face did not diminish, “I promise.”
Wen Li returned the smile, “Let me confirm with you one last time that ‘The Road of Mountains’ is your original?”
The copyright involves plagiarism, and the subsequent consequences brought about are unimaginable, she wants to confirm the copyright situation clearly while she is still working on it.
Fang Chen tapped on the screen of his cell phone, logged in the account number on the official website, and after the copyright information appeared, he handed the phone to Wen Li, “You can take a look.”
Wen Li browsed through the copyright information and confirmed that it was correct, “Your work does not appear similar to other scripts, right?”
“The Road to the Mountain” was written based on the real experience of our village’s village clerk, there will not be a second person to write it.”
Wen Li’s hanging heart couldn’t help but relax, it was an original work everything was fine.
