Chapter 1545: Chapter 1545: Creating Chaos in Matchmaking
Dai Shulan actually hadnât interacted with the website staff.
This is also the situation for most online writers.
They usually bury themselves in writing, and their communication with the editors, chief editors, and other website staff is only through QQ or WeChat.
Dai Shulan couldnât have imagined meeting two of the Wenyue Groupâs big figures tonight, and Lin Feng and Wang Jiayi were even more surprised by how pretty this author with good writing achievements turned out to be.
More importantly, such a beautiful female author does not write female-oriented works, but historical novels with male protagonists.
Male-oriented novels plus historical themes are twofold obstacles for a young girl.
They were originally amazed by Dai Shulanâs achievements, and seeing her in person, they were even more astonished.
Upon seeing Dai Shulanâs appearance, Wang Jiayi immediately thought of a publicity gimmick.
âWenyue Groupâs most beautiful signed writer, whose works are soon to be published and adapted into films.â Such a promotional approach, coupled with bright photos of Dai Shulan or a live broadcast, would surely make it hard not to gain popularity.
Those otakus, seeing photos and live footage of Dai Shulan, are bound to go crazy.
The success of Dai Shulanâs works will also significantly increase, and her attention from audiences will multiply.
âSuch a beautiful lady is writing hard; she could easily rely on her looks, but sheâs striving hard in writing. Why arenât we others working hard?â Wang Jiayi even anticipated many authors would reply in this way.
Moreover, the author Dai Shulan is an ultimate beauty, and the person in charge of the film company Luo Yuqing is also a beauty, with Lingyun Film and Televisionâs actual controller Luo Ziling being a handsome guy, all three of them are students. This is actually a very appealing writing topic that can attract people.
Compiling their stories into a narrative will definitely sell well.
Whether itâs the more nimble-minded Wang Jiayi or the mature and steady Lin Feng, they both found todayâs meeting extremely valuable. Wang Jiayi decided to contact Hui Xialiu tomorrow to ask him to write a modern urban novel based on Luo Ziling, Luo Yuqing, and Dai Shulan.
The happiest of course was Dai Shulan.
Because the physical publication and film adaptation she had longed for were negotiated tonight.
Moreover, she roughly learned about the royalties she could obtain.
At least five million in copyright fees, which, for Dai Shulan whose family is average, is nothing short of astronomical. Her parentsâ total income after half a lifetime of work did not amount to this much. In an instant, Dai Shulanâs heart was filled with pride.
She was full of gratitude towards Luo Ziling and Luo Yuqing as well.
If it wasnât for the coincidental blind date, and not having a formal interaction with Luo Ziling, she wouldnât have had this opportunity.
More importantly, Luo Ziling didnât have any demands on her, nor did he have any ulterior motives, and Luo Yuqing didnât make things hard for her, so she was naturally very grateful. She knew that her life changed thanks to these unexpected events.
As long as her book gets published and adapted into a TV series, sheâll become an instant hit, stepping into the ranks of famous writers.
Joining a provincial writersâ association is a given, and she could even join the Huaxia Writers Association. Who knows, she might sign a platinum contract.
Thinking about all this, she became more excited, and her face kept blushing.
Lin Feng and Wang Jiayi left first, and before leaving, they told Luo Yuqing and Dai Shulan that after a few days, they would sign the formal contract. When signing the formal contract, they would discuss the details.
After Lin Feng and Wang Jiayi left, Dai Shulan still hadnât come down from her excitement, feeling a bit restless and not as calm and composed as usual.
âDonât thank me,â seeing Dai Shulan like this, Luo Yuqing seriously pointed at Luo Ziling and said, âThe one you should be grateful to is him. If it werenât for him, we wouldnât know you were writing online novels. Even if people didnât know, no matter how much manuscript fees you earn, itâs hard to achieve such success. The website manager just said if it werenât for us taking the initiative to contact you, the film rights for your book wouldnât have been easy to sell. After all, there are policy restrictions on time-travel history, and your book involves war scenes requiring a significant investment, coupled with your relatively low fame compared to top-tier authors, most film companies wouldnât spend a lot of money buying your rights.â
Saying this, Luo Yuqing joked, âSo, why not find a chance to properly thank him? How to thank is up to you, but Iâm guessing that even if you decided to offer yourself, he wouldnât refuse, as he doesnât have immunity to beauties.â
These words from Luo Yuqing immediately made Dai Shulanâs face turn crimson. She rose angrily, pretending to hit Luo Yuqing, âYuqing, youâre so annoying, daring to joke about anything.â
Luo Ziling was also quite embarrassed and didnât know what to say, so he could only sit and watch the two beautiful women playfully bicker with each other.
After a while of playful banter, Dai Shulan returned to her seat.
Sitting down, she quietly asked Luo Ziling and Luo Yuqing, âYouâve helped me so much, changed my life, I definitely need to thank you. But I donât know how to express my gratitude, so how about I take you on a trip. Are you free this weekend? Iâll accompany you to the Great Wall.â
âIâll definitely be free,â Luo Yuqing replied looking at Luo Ziling, âJust not sure if Mr. Luo will have time.â
âThereâs a chance I might not be,â Luo Ziling responded a bit awkwardly. âDean Wu just named me for a visit abroad, and there are unresolved family issues. I fear even if I squeezed out time to go out and play, I wouldnât enjoy it. So, why not wait till Iâm back from the visit abroad, and then you can take us out. By then, spring will be more apparent, currently in Yanjing, itâs still the cold winter.â
Upon hearing Luo Ziling say this, Dai Shulan felt a bit disappointed but agreed to Luo Zilingâs request.
The three chatted for a while longer, and seeing itâs getting late, they got up to leave.
As they left, Dai Shulan rushed to pay the bill, only to find out Lin Feng and Wang Jiayi had already settled it, which left her a bit frustrated.
Walking back to the school together, Luo Yuqing and Dai Shulan walked arm in arm, with Luo Ziling beside them.
Unsure if it was from excitement or another reason, Luo Yuqing suddenly said, âActually, I think you two are quite a match, Shulan is a perfect candidate for a wife. Sheâs beautiful, gentle, talented, and most importantly, she remains composed and without the arrogance of a young lady. Honestly, if I were a man, Iâd definitely try everything to win her over as my wife.â
âYuqing, youâre speaking nonsense again,â Dai Shulan retorted, embarrassed, pinching Luo Yuqing hard.
âJust love to meddle in othersâ affairs,â Luo Ziling also felt amused yet helpless.
âPerhaps one day youâll understand that what I said is true,â Luo Yuqing said, letting out a long sigh.
Luo Yuqingâs sigh made Dai Shulanâs heart tighten inexplicably.
