I just want to copy books quietly

One of them, who seemed to be on good terms with Colidio, yelled, "Fran, give us a place to talk."

Corlidio said gruffly, "Come upstairs with me."

Everyone followed him upstairs, Duan Xiaochen also wanted to follow, but Du Caige asked her to stay: "You play here for a while, and accompany Claire."

Poor Claire had been a transparent person for a while, and curled her lips when she heard this, and said, "I think Hemingway, you are more suitable as a friend than Duan. Duan is a little woman, and she can only pretend to be her man in her heart. It's okay to make friends with her." , but in front of her boyfriend, she completely forgot about me."

Duan Xiaochen tugged at her sleeves embarrassingly: "Let's go play by the swimming pool."

On the second floor, Colidio went straight to the door of a room and knocked hard.

There was a noise inside, and half a minute later, a short, bearded man came over to open the door, wiping his body with his hands, trying to wipe off some suspicious liquid, with an unhappy expression on his face: "Fran, you better have a good reason."

Colidio raised his eyebrows, "This is not a bedroom, but a reception room! Mike, if you want to play, find a bedroom. I want to lend this room to others to discuss business."

At this time, a beautiful woman with a round body and extremely revealing clothes walked behind the bearded Mike, her face was flushed, her brows and eyes were full of spring, with a bit of laziness after the peak.

Du Caige took a glance and recognized her as a star who often appeared on the small screen.

Mike grunted, looked up, and fixed his eyes on Du Caige.

"Oh, OMG, you're Hemingway, right? I recognize you! OMG, the living Hemingway has appeared in front of me! Am I dreaming!" He was at a loss and stretched out his hand, "I'm your fan, super fan !"

Du Caige didn't have any impression of him, he should not be a first-line director or star entertainer.

"This is Mike Graham, the most talented screenwriter of this century. You should have seen his work, Dead Mountain, have you seen it?"

"Of course I've seen it! I admit, it's a very good story." Du Caige laughed.

shake hands?Forget it.

The suspicious viscous liquid on Mike's hand exudes a faint odor, and Du Caige is insensitive.

Mike wanted to say something, but Colidio pushed him away impatiently.They are old partners, and they are not very polite to each other.

Before the tall beauty left, she winked at Du Caige.

Du Caige dared to bet that if he talked to her a few more words, he would definitely have a good fortune tonight.

But he has no such hobbies.

Du Caige and several representatives of the publishing house walked into the room. The furnishings in the room were very simple, including a bar, a few single sofas, a small round table and a long sofa.

Corlidio also entered, poured them each a glass of wine, and then left, closing the door graciously.

Du Caige frowned and watched for a while, finally determined the place where the two fought before, deliberately avoided, sat on a single sofa, breathed a long sigh of relief, and rubbed his numb legs.

The sound insulation of this room is not very good, and the jazz music played by the band downstairs can be heard clearly.

But it doesn't affect their conversation.

After the five publishing house representatives introduced themselves, you looked at me and I looked at you, and no one wanted to be the first to speak.

Judging from their expressions, they should all want to have a chance to have a private conversation with Du Caige.

Even if you want to bid, you have to bid privately.

Otherwise, wouldn't it become an auction?

"I pay 16 royalties." "I pay 17!"

Then there is no way to talk.

But Du Caige just pretended not to know.

He was too lazy to deal with it alone.

Although he did not say that he must continue to cooperate with Goudlin Publishing House.

But the previous cooperation was quite pleasant, so if others couldn't come up with much better conditions, he wouldn't consider it.

And Goudlin Publishing House was very sincere at the beginning, and the conditions they gave were already very good, and it was difficult for others to surpass them.

Moreover, now he doesn't care about money so much.

Godlin Publishing House knows how to operate and package, and is very active in sending his works for awards, and seriously considers publishing his works such as cultivating immortals in translation. These conditions are difficult for other publishing houses to provide.

As Du Caige expected.

After the representatives of these publishing houses hesitated to speak, they continued to emphasize the strength of their publishing houses, "it can increase the sales of your works by another 10."

Promise to give more benefits, "It will definitely give you a higher royalty than Goudlin, and you can give a stepped bonus."

"I can recommend your work to a film and television company for film and television adaptation, and help you negotiate a higher copyright fee."

At the same time, he also emphasized, "It doesn't matter if we can't cooperate in this work, I hope we can cooperate in the next work."

Du Caige listened carefully, interjecting occasionally, but did not express his opinion.

They also knew that it was impossible to make Du Caige switch to the camp with just a few words. Today, it is mainly to get acquainted, and we will talk about it later.

Finally, Du Caige said: "I understand what you mean. Let my team discuss the specific details with you."

Then leave their contact information and send them out.

He himself returned to the room, slumped on the chair, panting for breath.

Jeez, going to a party feels more exhausting than running a 10K marathon.

Just after breathing for a while, I heard a soft knock on the door.

"Can I come in?" The voice was pleasant, with a Latino accent.

Du Caige recalled it for a while, but couldn't remember whose voice it was.He originally suspected that it was the Latina beauty Michelle before, but after thinking about it, he didn't think so.

So he declined and said, "Sorry, I have something to do right now."

"Don't you want to do something else? I'm great." There was a hint of seduction in the voice.

"No need!" Du Caige refused loudly.

Then the door was pushed open, and Duan Xiaochen walked in with a smile, and said in her usual voice, "You've passed."

Du Caige stared at her weakly.This guy's ventriloquist is getting better and better, learning what he looks like.

The Latino accent just now was really well learned. "You are getting more and more courageous. Go back and see how I punish you."

"Why this expression? I know you're not happy, but there are so many beauties tonight, all of whom look like they want to throw themselves into their arms right away, so they feel uneasy."

"I'm worried about your size."

"Okay, don't be angry, you don't need to go back to punish me, can I compensate you now?"

As he spoke, Duan Xiaochen locked the door with his backhand, came to him, bent down with a coquettish smile

The sound of swallowing sounded.

Du Caige's enjoyment was interrupted by another knock on the door.

Meyer's arrogant voice sounded outside the door: "Hemingway, can we talk?"

Duan Xiaochen quickly zipped Du Caige, straightened up, picked up Du Caige's wine and walked to the window, pretending to enjoy the night view.

Du Caige tidied up his clothes, "Please come in."

The door lock rang a few times. "Please open the door."

Du Caige had no choice but to go over and unlock the door, and Meyer rushed in reeking of alcohol.

He looked in his 40s, not in his 50s.

The appearance can only be said, not too ugly.

Small eyes, slightly crooked mouth, missing teeth.

The skin was fair, and the broad square chin was clean-shaven and bluish.

Seeing Duan Xiaochen's back, Meyer was taken aback, "Oh, sorry to bother you."

"It's okay. Please sit down!"

After the two sat down, Meyer glanced at Duan Xiaochen, "Um, is it convenient to talk now?"

Du Caige felt a little uncomfortable.

What's wrong with talking in front of my girlfriend?If I didn't know that your character is very annoying, I really thought you were deliberately alienating.

Although he appreciates Meyer's movies, Du Caige has given up on making friends with him.

It is not that people with flawed personality cannot be friends. For example, Tian Ying, Du Caige's royal photographer, also has flawed personality.

Assistant Fang Muchen actually has a big personality flaw.

But Du Caige is more happy to associate with them.

This Meyer is too arrogant, too egotistical, with too sharp edges and corners, which makes people uncomfortable.

Du Caige said lightly: "You tell me, she won't disturb us."

The word he used is "Shoot", which means to shoot. Of course, it can also mean "speak quickly", but this expression is not very polite. .

People respect me one foot, and I respect others ten feet.

Since this Meyer doesn't know how to be polite, Du Caige doesn't bother to talk to him.

"A Song of Ice and Fire," Meyer said impatiently, "Leave it to me to shoot! I will definitely make it a classic movie with a famous name in film history!"

Chapter 617 I Really Don't Understand Music

While Du Caige was talking to people in the reception room on the second floor, elsewhere in the mansion, the party continued.

It was just a tradition for Colidio to host the party, as he had just won his second Oscar for Best Director.

As usual, he was obliged to throw a party to celebrate.

But in fact, at the party, he didn't have anything to accomplish.

So after a few quick words, he no longer controls the flow of the party.

Instead, let guests socialize and make friends as they please, or if someone makes a fire, he also provides the room.

The party gradually became disordered and chaotic. Some people got drunk and started to yell and yell; Smiling and acting weird under the influence of drugs

This is the entertainment industry.

It looks glamorous, but in fact it is just a group of eating and drinking men and women gathered together, not necessarily noble.

Don’t be surprised if you see a big star getting drunk, running to the swimming pool and unzipping it, ignoring the eyes of many women around him, staggering towards the water in the pool, turning on the faucet, and flying down three thousand feet for his vulgarity.

If you see a beautiful star walking out of a room in disheveled clothes and some handsome young man here, definitely don't be surprised by her debauchery.

But after all, the people Colidio invited were not low-level, not unscrupulous street gangsters.

These people are big and small celebrities, even if they are having fun, they are more or less measured, so they are not completely unscrupulous.

Moreover, there were also invited media people at the party.

Therefore, the party will not become too extreme, and there will not be too many unsightly scenes.

At the lively party, Claire walked up and down disappointedly, greeting acquaintances listlessly.

Duan, the bitch, actually secretly went to have a tryst with her boyfriend, left her alone at the party, and said she was a good sister!

In fact, Claire was in a pretty good mood.

Even playing alone can be fun.

But just now, she ran into an ex-boyfriend of hers, and they quarreled if they disagreed, and the key point was that they lost the quarrel.

So at the moment she was very irritable, panting for breath, her eyes were red like an angry heifer, and she pouted her hooves, as if she wanted to find a matador to fight.

Those nodding friends who were not very familiar with her felt something was wrong when they saw her expression.

I was about to go up to say hello, but the raised hand turned to another direction in time: "Hey, Cody, Judy, Wendy, Petty, long time no see"

Claire stared and became even more depressed. In fact, she just wanted to find someone to quarrel with and get back the lost place.

Just like a gambler who has lost money, he always wants to play another game and win back with profit.

At this time, Claire heard a woman say: "He is a sensationalist. If you ask me, the songs he wrote are probably bought by him. After all, he is a billionaire and has money. Well."

Claire's ears perked up.

This was clearly referring to her new friend Hemingway!

Immediately her alertness was heightened, and she was ready for battle.
