Chapter 315 Our Victory
Chapter 315 Our Victory
Shooting so soon?
Jiang Baige was a little surprised.
Although the preparation time is not short, there are many things to do, such as attracting investment, deciding the script, finding actors, looking for venues, and recruiting people...
If any one of these items goes wrong, the project could fail.
But this show still moves too fast.
It happened so fast that it seemed as if the company only had this one project and as soon as it was signed, all its manpower and resources would be immediately invested in it.
She guessed correctly.
Zhou Zhou's words confirmed this: [I heard that this is a small company that was established not long ago... The projects they did before were all short plays. Small-budget projects are not that complicated. Yours happened to be at the beginning of the year, so they decided on the script and actors first...]
This explanation makes sense.
Zhou Zhou then said: [I remember you said you had been with a crew before? Then you should be familiar with the crew's affairs? ]
Just the surface.
But it is true that some experience is better than no experience at all.
At this time, Zhou Zhou seemed to remember the "conditions" they had discussed before: [If you become a consultant, you should be able to get paid. ]
After Zhou Zhou had distributed the food, he added, “Although it may not be much.”
But before she could send this message, Jiang Baige immediately replied: "Since it's my book, of course I have to go!"
Zhou Zhou: I deeply doubt your motives.
However, although she may be "suspicious", loving money is not a shortcoming, not to mention that it was entirely the result of her hard work.
Since she agreed, Zhou Zhou breathed a sigh of relief: he could now settle the copyright issue.
As a qualified editor, she knew that it was a good idea to establish a good relationship with the people in the copyright department.
Jiang Baige agreed and put it down.
Because they asked her to be a "consultant", but they didn't ask her to participate in the script adaptation. When the project starts, the other party will find a screenwriter, need to determine the general direction or adjust the details, or later...then they will need her.
She was passive throughout the situation.
So there is no need to worry too much about it now.
However, she still had to tell Dugu He about this matter, and also ask her how Meng Ping's matter was handled.
Unexpectedly, Dugu He did have new news, but it couldn't be explained clearly in a few words over the phone.
So I wanted to make an appointment to discuss it in detail.
The defense ended just in late May.
Although there is still some finishing work after the defense, it is basically not complicated, and most people will go on a graduation trip at this time.
Jiang Baige is no exception.
She had already decided on the location for her graduation trip: to Hong Kong City to find Lin Xingran.
Lin Xingran rented a small room outside the school. The price was not cheap - her mother even paid half of the rent.
But it is indeed convenient.
In the past, Jiang Baige could live directly at her place.
Jiang Baige was a little embarrassed at first. Although she was embarrassed, she was also tempted because the prices in Hong Kong were too high.
Of course Lin Xingran saw through her little thoughts and reassured her.
Although the house is small, it has everything. During the Chinese New Year, her mother and sister came to visit her, and the three of them could still stay there.
Jiang Baige was not polite and even had some expectations.
After all, they had been roommates and had so many memories shared in the same room.
When making an appointment with Dugu He, Jiang Baige also mentioned this matter. Coincidentally, there was an international book fair in Hong Kong in June, and Dugu He was also going to go there.
The two of them tentatively decided to meet in Hong Kong City, and said that if Lin Xingran was free, they could have dinner together.
Lin Xingran was looking forward to it: she hadn't seen Dugu He since she came to Hong Kong to study. Although they kept in touch online, she still preferred face-to-face conversations.
***
The weather turned hot in June.
After the defense time was set, Jiang Baige booked a flight to Hong Kong City. As soon as the defense was over, she packed her luggage and flew to Hong Kong City.
Dugu He's business trip time was also confirmed, two days later than hers.
So Jiang Baige will first meet up with Lin Xingran.
The port city is humid, and under the evaporation of summer heat, I feel sticky all over.
Jiang Baige dragged her small luggage all the way from the airport to the address Lin Xingran gave her. Just as she was about to call Lin Xingran to ask if the get out of class had finished and if they wanted to have dinner together, her cell phone rang.
She was just about to say that they had a good understanding of each other when she was stunned.
——It’s Cen Muzi.
Why would she call her? Jiang Baige could only think of one reason... She immediately pressed the answer button.
"Muzi?"
There was a cheer from Cen Muzi: "Bai Ge, we won!"
Jiang Baige stood there for a long time. On the other end of the phone, Cen Muzi was still talking, a little incoherent, but still concise, explaining the hard struggle of the past year.
The reason why she called to tell Jiang Baige was because Jiang Baige had always supported her in every way.
Whether it was accompanying her to dye her hair at the beginning, introducing her to a lawyer later, or using self-media to support her and using the money he earned to help her with the lawsuit...
She said that the first person she thought of when she got the result was Jiang Baige.
Jiang Baige didn't tell her that the call she picked up was roaming. But even if Cen Muzi called her via WeChat, the data charges would not be low.
But this amount of money is nothing.
Compared to the pain that Cen Muzi had suffered, it was nothing. Compared to the joy of their victory at this moment, it was even less.
It was Cen Muzi who took the initiative to ask: "Where are you now? I heard from Qin Shi that you are not in the dormitory."
Qin Shi has been busy with preparations before going abroad recently and has been running around, so the two of them don't see each other often, so it's normal that she didn't know that Jiang Baige had come to Gangcheng.
"You went to Hong Kong to play?" Cen Muzi exclaimed, "Ah, that phone bill..."
"These are all trivial matters. I have something more important to ask you..."
"What? You said."
Jiang Baige cleared her throat. "Because we have published a lot of articles on your case, and many readers are paying attention to it. Like us, they have been waiting for a result... And I think your victory is very powerful. If it can be publicized, it may give some courage to those who suffer from cyberbullying."
"No problem... Do you want to do an interview? Or do you want detailed case information? I can help you with either. Also, if you need pictures, I can also compile some for you, and..."
Cen Muzi agreed readily and was very thoughtful, which surprised Jiang Baige.
She was worried that Cen Muzi had been exhausted physically and mentally by this matter for the past year, and now that there was finally a result, he would want to move on from it immediately and not mention it again.
After all, she committed suicide because of this matter in her previous life.
Lin Xingran found Jiang Baige in a coffee shop near the dormitory: the latter was staring intently at the computer in front of her, tapping on the keyboard from time to time, completely immersed in her work, without any impatience of waiting for others.
