PNB Chapter 291 Signing a Contract
Chapter 291 Signing a Contract
The dispute between Ji Xinyu and Ye Wanqing eventually drifted away like a piece of cotton wool in the wind, becoming a topic of conversation among the crowd after dinner.
The Ji family's silence on the matter has led to speculation from the outside world. All kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky like catkins in spring, making it difficult to discern the truth.
Ji Xinyu, the little princess who was once held in the palm of the Ji family's hand, seemed to have grown up a lot overnight after experiencing the turmoil at the birthday party, and became silent and introverted.
She is no longer as flamboyant as before, but has learned to be low-key and tolerant. This has made those who once criticized her look at her with admiration.
At the same time, the fate of the new drama has been like a roller coaster, experiencing a reversal from lows to peaks.
At the beginning of its broadcast, due to Ye Wanqing's "water pouring incident", the drama was almost drowned by the torrent of public opinion and received pitifully low ratings.
However, as the plot deepened, the audience was gradually attracted by the wonderful fighting scenes, compact plot and profound themes in the play. The reputation began to reverse, and the score soared all the way, finally settling at a high point of 9.8 points.
On the Internet, discussions about the new drama have reached an unprecedented high, and audiences have expressed their thoughts after watching it. Some were moved by the fate of the characters in the drama, some were impressed by the actors' acting skills, and others praised the talent of the original author Ye Wanqing.
"This drama is so addictive! I almost missed it at first because of the original author's issue, but once I started, I couldn't put it down. The acting of the male and female leads is amazing, and the plot is super powerful!"
"Ye Wanqing is not only beautiful, but also incredibly talented! The twists and turns in this drama are so exciting, I was completely hooked!"
"This new drama is definitely the dark horse drama of the year! From low ratings to high ratings, this comeback is so inspiring!"
Seeing the new drama's popularity, Qin Huai's mood was like riding a roller coaster, from initial despair to current ecstasy. He knew that this was a great opportunity for him to turn things around. So, he seized every marketing opportunity to push the new drama to even greater heights.
Ye Wanqing, who was once caught in the whirlpool of public opinion because of the "water pouring incident", has now established a firm foothold in the entertainment industry with her talent and beauty. Many companies have extended olive branches to her, hoping to sign her as a rising star with unlimited potential.
However, Ye Wanqing chose to keep a low profile. She turned off her phone and declined most business invitations. It was not until the end of October that she gradually resumed contact with the outside world.
During this period, the clarification video she had previously filmed for the new drama was also repeatedly watched and forwarded by netizens. Her beauty and talent once again won her a lot of attention and fans.
Despite the heated online discussions about her, Ye Wanqing has always maintained a calm mind. She knows that in this impetuous entertainment industry, only by maintaining her original intention and perseverance can she go further.
On this day, the autumn atmosphere in Liangcheng was in full swing. Ye Wanqing wore a soft knitted sweater and a pair of simple jeans, looking both fashionable and graceful. After waking up from her nap, she felt a hint of coolness and casually picked up a windbreaker and put it on her shoulders.
She actually had her own thoughts about the copyright issue for her new book. Originally, she had planned to sign the book to Xingchen, but Zhao Jinyu's call made her hesitate a little. However, she ultimately decided to talk to Qin Huai in person.
Driving to the bottom of Huayu Building, Ye Wanqing's receptionist recognized her immediately. Looking at this hot new star in the entertainment industry, the receptionist's face showed a surprised and happy expression: "Ms. Ye, are you here to see Mr. Qin?"
Ye Wanqing smiled and nodded: "Yes, I don't have an appointment, I wonder if I can go up?"
The receptionist quickly said, "Of course! Mr. Qin specifically told me that as long as you come over, I can take you upstairs at any time."
"Thank you for your help." Ye Wanqing responded politely.
Led by the receptionist, Ye Wanqing took Qin Huai's special elevator and went straight to his office.
The moment the elevator door slowly closed, the receptionist turned around and returned to her work, secretly excited about being able to see this legendary rising star with her own eyes.
At this time, Qin Huai was busy in the office. When he received the call from his secretary, he could hardly believe his ears. Ye Wanqing actually came to him on her own initiative?
He quickly put down the work in his hands, straightened his clothes and hairstyle, and prepared to welcome the arrival of this distinguished guest.
Qin Huai smacked his lips lightly, his eyes full of disbelief: "Wanqing, you really came here in person? This really surprises me."
Ye Wanqing smiled slightly, a smile that was both teasing and calm. "Hasn't Young Master Qin been eager to sign my new book? Am I not here to fulfill your wish?"
Qin Huai's eyes lit up when he heard this: "So, you are willing to sign the copyright of the new book to our Qin Group?"
Ye Wanqing raised her eyebrows slightly, a playful smile on her lips: "Mr. Qin, don't you want to sign it? Or do you think my book is not worth it?"
Qin Huai waved his hands quickly, his expression somewhat anxious. "What are you talking about? If you're willing, I want to sign every book you publish in the future! I've witnessed your talent with my own eyes."
He really admired Ye Wanqing's writing talent.
Looking back on the new drama, he put a lot of effort into it, especially in the special effects production. Although it is not as good as those big productions that cost billions, he also invested hundreds of millions without hesitation.
I originally thought that the investment might be wasted because of that incident, but unexpectedly it became a big hit because of the solid content and even became the dark horse of the year.
The last week's broadcast volume, in particular, skyrocketed, surpassing the total of the previous six weeks. Not only did this drama catapult several artists from the Qin Group to fame overnight, it also allowed Qin Huai to recoup his investment in a short period of time and become incredibly wealthy.
This wasn't the first time Ye Wanqing had written a bestseller, and now there were countless companies vying to sign her. While there weren't many companies that could compete with the Qin Group, there were some. Qin Huai was still worried about this yesterday, unsure if Ye Wanqing's new book would continue to be signed to the Qin Group.
But now, Ye Wanqing came in person, and Qin Huai finally felt relieved. He was both surprised and surprised, and quickly took out the contract he had prepared long ago: "I have already drafted the contract, please see if there is anything that needs to be revised."
Qin Huai had always been generous with money. The previous contract had been for three million plus half of the commission, but this time he had directly increased it to twenty million, with the commission ratio remaining the same. He knew full well that Ye Wanqing was worth far more than that.
Ye Wanqing took the contract and read it carefully, without any objection on her face: "I have no problem with the fee, but as for the screenwriter, I think Mr. Qin should understand what I mean."
Qin Huai nodded quickly: "Clear, clear! You will still be the chief screenwriter. I will definitely not be vague about this!"
Ye Wanqing nodded with satisfaction: "Then I have no problem."
After she finished speaking, she signed her name on the contract. Her handwriting was smooth and powerful, as if it also spoke of her determination and confidence.
After signing the contract, it was still early, so Ye Wanqing planned to stop by the market to buy some vegetables for dinner. She wore a simple white sweater and a pair of slim-fit jeans, looking both elegant and casual.
However, an accident happened while she was driving home.
The moment the airbag popped out, Ye Wanqing's first thought was: Ji Xinyu, it seems you really dare to risk your life! This crazy behavior is like playing with your own life. But on second thought, she felt that she might be overthinking it, it was just an accident.
