Chapter 384 Do you want to be my colleague?
Jiang Baige thought she had heard it wrong.
"Blue Films? Isn't it Blue Literature Network... And haven't I already agreed with you that I'll go over there once we've settled the contract?"
Not long after the short drama about patricide was officially broadcast, Jiang Baige’s anti-epidemic article was also completed.
Because the patricide article and the anti-epidemic article were under the same column, the anti-epidemic article had the dual boost of being completed and the short drama being popular, and the profits were very gratifying.
Just like Jiang Baige said - I can go back and have a good New Year.
But Han Li reiterated: "No, this is another matter. You are a resident writer at the Blue Literature Network. You are here to work at Blue Film and Television."
"Go to work? Is that what I understand?" Jiang Baige was a little confused. "But aren't you in Lincheng? Do you want me to go back to Lincheng?"
"I work at Blue Blue Films, but not in Lincheng."
Han Li revealed the inside story.
The headquarters of Bilan Film and Television is in Lincheng because the Zhao family’s roots are in Lincheng. As long as the old man and two younger brothers are still alive, Zhao Bi cannot leave easily.
Although Zhao Bi has now gained control and the right to speak in the Zhao family and has temporarily won the struggle, the Zhao family has been entrenched in Lincheng for nearly a hundred years, and it is not easy for Zhao Bi to do something of his own.
Not to mention, in the eyes of the Zhao family, she is a rebellious person.
The Zhao family has been deeply engaged in real estate for decades, but Zhao Bi insisted on engaging in the cultural industry and specifically targeted female customers. In the eyes of others, this is simply a joke!
It’s okay to like celebrities for fun, but it’s absolutely not okay to do it seriously.
Zhao Bi certainly knows what a pillar is, she just wants to make the family business more diversified.
Unable to convince the old antique, she wanted to open up another battlefield.
And Anjing is obviously a better choice.
Zhao Bi plans to start from the studio and gradually expand it into a stronger one.
She studied abroad for many years and her views are different from the mainstream views in the industry. She believes that the real core assets of film and television companies are "screenwriters" rather than actors.
Therefore, the first shot she fired was not at the artist management studio, but at the script studio.
When Han Li mentioned the script studio, Jiang Baige probably understood what she meant.
"The main work of this studio is to adapt the novels we purchased. Zhao Bi really appreciates your control over the short play adapted from the patricide novel. So she hopes you can help her build this studio."
"That's not possible." Jiang Baige was a little embarrassed. "It's not that I don't want to help you. Xiao Li, you may not know that I can't do two mental jobs at the same time. I have helped friends do similar work before, but later, when the novel gradually improved and needed to be updated steadily with guaranteed quality and quantity, I couldn't do it anymore. That was still a part-time job... I'm afraid it's not possible to do it full-time now."
This is not a perfunctory statement.
Although both scripts and novels are words, there are still big differences when you look into them carefully.
And the reason why she was able to change the script of the patricide skit was because it was a novel she wrote.
Ask her to modify other people's works right away...
If she is a newcomer who wants to be a screenwriter or write a novel, she can still learn something.
But for her, who has already achieved relatively stable writing skills, this seems a bit superfluous.
However, Han Li did not give up: "But we don't have projects every day, and there are more than one person in the studio. If you are busy, you don't have to participate in the specific adaptation work, but take overall control... When there are no projects, you are very free. If one of your novels is adapted and you are asked to be a consultant, you don't have to worry about any impact on your main job."
That's a bit tempting.
Because everything about my current company is good except that there are too few flexible vacations.
Last year, she stayed at home for a long time at the beginning of the year, returned to work very late, worked from home in the middle of the day and flew to the crew, and took annual leave at the end of the year due to cyber violence... This is probably the limit for a serious company to not stay at the workstation.
This is not even counting what Dugu He said, that he wanted to hold a book signing event for her.
Even if some activities can be done on weekends, she works during the day from Monday to Friday, and flies around the country on Saturdays and Sundays. So how does she find the time to write novels?
But if, as Han Li said, Zhao Bi's script studio is project-based, then she will only be busy when there are projects, but when there are no projects, she will be very free, which means she will earn extra money.
"By the way, don't you want to buy a house? This studio can pay for all the five social insurances and one housing fund for you."
Han Li is worthy of being called the hero. He knows that Jiang Baige is greedy and wants to catch all the sparrows in the sky: she wants stability, love, freedom, and provident fund.
Jiang Baige hesitated and was not as firm as before.
Han Li didn't force her, as things had to be done one by one anyway, so he brought up another matter.
"We have a lot of authors and readers coming to our Blue Literature Network now, and we want to find some experienced editors who like women's literature. I heard you mention before that Lin Xingran stayed in Hong Kong City after graduating from graduate school and has not found a job. I wonder if she is interested?"
Jiang Baige couldn't help but laugh at her first: "Come to think of it, wasn't Zhao Bi's condition for sponsoring you that you work for her for three years after graduation? From the look of you now, do you plan to work with her forever?"
Han Li didn't expect Jiang Baige to ask this, but he didn't hide it.
"Yes. My previous three-year contract expired, so I renewed it for another three years. I'm working for someone else anyway, so why not find a boss that makes me feel comfortable?"
After answering, she got back to the point: "I know Lin Xingran has always been engaged in traditional publishing, but I have seen that she has also edited some online literature books... Do you think she would be willing to be an online literature editor?"
"You told me this because you wanted me to ask her for you, didn't you?"
"It's easy to deal with smart people." Han Li praised and tempted, "Please consider the screenwriter studio I just mentioned. I really want to be your colleague."
"Okay." Jiang Baige's tone was helpless and doting, "When have I ever not taken your words to heart?"
Jiang Baige sent a message to Lin Xingran that night, but Lin Xingran did not reply until the next morning.
It turned out that she had flown back to Lincheng from Gangcheng not long ago, and had been looking for a house and moving. She had just finished packing yesterday and was so tired that she fell asleep directly, so she didn't see the news.
Jiang Baige told Han Li that he wanted her to be an editor for a literary website.
Lin Xingran also knew Han Li, knew her past and current development, and was somewhat interested in this matter.
Jiang Baige said, "Since you are also in Lincheng, why not... why not you two meet up."
After saying that, she remembered what Dugu He had told her a few days ago, and then said, "By the way, is your newly rented house convenient for me to live in? If it is convenient, Lincheng is right between my home and Anjing, so I might as well go to Lincheng to find you? It just so happens that I also want to meet Han Li."
"No problem, I rented a one-bedroom apartment with a folding bed, a sofa bed, and a double bed... whatever you want to sleep on is fine!"
