The days when I was raised by the film emperor Yue Ji

Seeing Yun Wumi respectfully thanking Bumin, Yue Ji no longer insisted on his whimsical idea of ​​being a bodyguard, and continued to eat obediently.

After lunch, Yue Ji followed Yun Wumi to clean up the dining table and kitchen, then took the phone and clicked on Weibo to read private messages.

Although he is not a big hit as an anchor, there are still some private messages from fans, most of which are saying hello, praising him and so on. Yue Ji replied one by one, and then saw the message asking him to make an appointment draft private letter.

The content of the private message is a bit long, but the paragraphs and punctuation marks are clearly typed. After reading it for a while, Yue Ji probably understood what the other party meant.

The person who asked him to make an appointment was an editor for a publishing house, and their publishing house mainly publishes some teaching supplements for students and educational extracurricular books.The editor of this publishing house who privately communicated with Yueji recently took charge of an extracurricular book for primary school students in the first and second grades. Each ancient poem needs to be accompanied by a vivid and easy-to-understand picture.

The problem is with the picture.Their publishing house originally had several long-term cooperative painters with different styles, but recently the hand that is good at painting the national style was injured, and after signing this contract, it seems that the first half of the handover that they had previously set is approaching. It was time for some drafts, and the artist had to tell the editor who was connected because he couldn't hide it anymore.

The painter paid for the breach of contract and settled down, but the editor was in a state of desperation.Low-quality drafts cannot pass the eyes of the publishing house’s review editors, and high-quality ones are hard to find. The ones that can be found in a short time are either well-known and the asking price is much higher than the publishing house’s budget, or the asking price is affordable and the drawing has high quality. The quality is good but the performance is unstable. The publishing house has little time for trial and error.

When this editor was in a hurry to go to the doctor, he stumbled into the live broadcast room of Yue Ji by mistake. While continuing to look for suitable painters, he squatted and watched the live broadcast of Yue Ji for several days.Now looking for Yue Ji, to put it bluntly, because Yue Ji is a newcomer and the quality of the drawings is also stable, maybe Yue Ji is willing to accept this batch of manuscripts.

After reading the other party's private message, Yue Ji thought about it, and he replied to ask for more specific information.While waiting for the reply, Yue Ji remembered that the other party was quite generous in giving gifts in his live broadcast room, but he couldn't figure it out. Judging by the gesture of rewarding, this person doesn't seem to be short of money.

The other party had probably been waiting for Yue Ji's feedback. After Yue Ji asked the question, they replied quickly.

[Hello little brother, thank you for your reply~ At present, a total of 25 drawings are needed, and there are still [-] days before the latest deadline, because it is used for publishing and selling, so we will follow you in the form of a buyout Sign the contract here (if you are willing to accept it, little brother).I will send you a reference picture for the quality of the drawing, but it must be much lower than the two paintings you drew in the live broadcast. One-third]

Immediately, the other party sent over a watermarked picture, and Yue Ji looked at it...it felt a bit like a stick figure drawn with a brush.

[It’s just like the picture above. It’s mainly concise and vivid. After all, it’s for children to see, and the requirement is that it must have the feeling of ink painting... In addition, in terms of budget, I won’t beat around the bush. My highest budget is a buyout price of 200 yuan for a picture, so this batch of manuscripts totals 1 yuan. 】

[After successfully signing the contract, the company will first pay you 20.00% as a deposit. After passing the first half of the drawings within the time limit, another 50.00% will be paid, and the remaining 30.00% will be paid once after all the drawings are completed. to your account.Of course, your name will be signed on the published book. 】

[Actually, the price is not too low, but it is indeed a bit low at your level.But I really sincerely want to cooperate with you, little brother. I am an editor, and I have been messing around in the circle of painters recently. I am tired and want to get this matter done quickly. It is one thing, and another time The main thing is that I really like you little brother and your paintings.If the price of 1 yuan is embarrassing, I can double it personally, but the contract with the company can only write 1 yuan, you should understand...[Please, please]]

Over the season: "..."

Yue Ji was a bit puzzled, so he typed the reply: [Personally, did you pay such a large amount of money out of your own pocket for work matters? 】

He wondered, maybe the monthly salary of this editor is less than 1 yuan. Why, there is a mine at home, and the job is just to pass the time?

...the other party really is.

[[Embarrassing] In fact, my family is not short of money. My income mainly depends on rent collection, but people will be useless if they stay at home for a long time. I also like to be an editor, so I asked someone to find this job.

I have to say that Yue Ji is in a pretty good mood now.It is impossible for anyone to be unhappy when others praise him so sincerely.

[By the way, little brother, and if you accept this batch of manuscripts, it may affect the duration of your next live broadcast, because it is best not to make these manuscripts public before they are printed and published... Sorry, little brother, please consider carefully , just tell me if you don't want to answer! 】

It doesn't matter.Yue Ji looked at the phone screen, blinked, he thought for a while, and replied, "Let me think about it, and I will reply you within an hour."

Then Yue Ji went to look for Yun Wumi.

Obediently handing the phone to Yun Wumi, Yue Ji crookedly hugged a pillow beside him: "What do you think?"

After reading the chat records, Yun Wumi said: "The attitude of the other party is very good. But when it comes to money, you can't just look at the attitude. Have you ever learned about the market price in this regard?"

Yue Ji bent his lips: "Actually, the price is not bad, she doesn't need to add any extra money. According to the level of the reference picture she sent me, when I am in a good mood, even if I add the time to conceive, I can finish it in a day. You should be able to draw ten pictures slowly, without any effort."

"It doesn't take much effort for you. If it's really that easy, they won't be able to find suitable people at the publishing house." Yun Wumi said a little worried, "Little monster, why are you so talkative? I'm a little worried that one day you will be coaxed by human traffickers."

Hearing this, Yue Ji couldn't help laughing, and couldn't stop laughing.

After a while, he joked again: "Don't worry, unless the human trafficker looks better than our brother Yun."

Yun Wumi rubbed Yue Ji's head: "The more you look at it, the more stupid you become."

Yue Ji took back the mobile phone from his hand: "That's it, I promised her. It just so happens that I will follow you to Shanhe Village tomorrow, maybe I can really pick up the wind and inspire inspiration. As for the live broadcast... Anyway, I planned to reduce the duration. down."

Said, Yue Ji sighed in a vague way.

Yun Wumi raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

Yue Ji propped his chin and tilted his head to look at him: "I will talk about this in the live broadcast later in the afternoon, there must be many people who are reluctant to part with me, after all, many people like to watch my live broadcast for dinner

Yun Wu Mi Yile: "Well, I admit this, you are really good at eating. Since you came to this house and sat opposite me to eat, I feel that my cooking skills have improved a lot, and the food tastes better than before. Fragrant."

Yue Ji blinked, his clear eyes were extremely agile.He pursed his lips, reserved and undisguisedly proud: "If you say this, people will feel embarrassed."

Yun Wumi trembled from his sweet and greasy words: "Don't act like a baby!"

Yue Ji looked at him obediently, and when he uttered words, his ending sound rose slightly: "Huh?"

"Cough..." Yun Wumi tilted his head and cleared his throat, "It's not easy to provoke... Don't be poor with me, go and reply to your benefactor, go quickly..."

"If you want to talk about the benefactor, you are my biggest benefactor..." Yue Ji thought for a while.

Yun Wumi raised his eyebrows: "The biggest benefactor? How many more benefactors do you want?"

Yue Ji glanced at him: "Obviously you mentioned this word first."

Yun Wumi: "..."

Yue Ji went to reply to the benefactor who asked him to make an appointment.

After confirming that Yue Ji was willing to pick it up, and that she didn't need to pay extra for it personally, the editor who sent private messages to Yue Ji was so moved that he sent emoticons repeatedly.

After finalizing some cooperation details of this business draft, the two added WeChat, and then the other party quickly sent Yue Ji an electronic contract, along with her identity certificate.

[Because of the rush, it took several days to mail the paper contract back and forth, so we directly adopt the electronic contract method, do you think it is ok? 】

Of course Yueji replied yes.It just so happens that he will go out with Yun Wumi tomorrow, so it is not convenient for him to send the contract.

I just don’t know that Shanhe Village is inconvenient to scan paper drawings...it should be possible, after all, Yun Wumi said that the development there is quite good, even if it doesn’t work, let’s talk about it later, the paintings haven’t been drawn yet.

Putting aside other thoughts, Yue Ji read the contract first.The contract was not complicated, and after reading it quickly, Yue Ji asked two uncertainties. After the two parties clarified again, the electronic contract was signed.

The 20.00% deposit was paid to his account in the afternoon of the same day, when Yue Ji was still live broadcasting.

Hearing Yue Ji said that the live broadcast would not be held for such a long time in the future, many netizens in his live broadcast room thought that Yue Ji was really planning to become a training teacher because he couldn't get enough to eat during the live broadcast.

Looking at the barrage over the season, I can't laugh or cry: "No, no, please stop

There was no extra price for crossing the season, so the editor of the publishing house who had previously placed first on the gift list in his live broadcast room gave him a lot of gifts this afternoon.Yue Ji chatted with her on WeChat and told her not to use it, but the young lady who makes a living by collecting rent was very forthright and said that one code is one code, and she likes to give gifts when watching live broadcasts!

Yue Ji thought about it, when he got rich, he would also have a taste of being a charterer. He can't suffer or be tired, if Yun Wumi hadn't taken him in, he would probably have to live in Rose Flower, after all, he can't even pay the rent when he goes outside, and he still wants to collect rent.

After much deliberation, Yue Ji suddenly felt emotional—the staff in the Internet cafe are honest with him, the house prices are so expensive these days, it can be regarded as one of the biggest sources of stress for people.

Hearing Yue Ji's thoughts during dinner, Yun Wumi couldn't stop laughing, and then he said to Yue Ji solemnly: "Dreams are still possible, Charterer... Speaking of which, I suddenly thought of a job that can bring you close Get in touch with your new dream."

Yue Ji expressed curiosity honestly.

Yun Wumi smiled and said, "Does the rental agency know? But it's not the kind that simply relies on renters and landlords' agency fees, but the agency itself collects a bunch of houses from various landlords, and then raises the price a bit." Rent to others, take the rent from others, and then pay the rent to the original landlord, and make money from the difference in the middle price. It’s like a second landlord holding a bunch of houses, and at the same time doing the work of earning intermediary fees... It’s also based on the calculation Those who live on rent, reluctantly meet your ideas."

Yue Ji: "...Oh."

Yue Ji looked at Yun Wumi expressionlessly for a while, and suddenly asked curiously: "How do you know this?"

"In the past, in order to make a film, you need to know the characters well." Yun Wumi said.

Yue Ji nodded, and said again: "I don't seem to have asked you, how did you come to become an actor in the first place? I saw your previous interview when I checked Weibo two days ago, and said it was because I liked it. Acting, is it true or not?"

Yun Wumi smiled lightly: "Your tone is a bit like a reporter's interview... Actually, I am not from a major, a university school

"To put it bluntly, I entered the entertainment industry at the beginning only because my agent offered a signing fee that I would be very painful to refuse, and the signing contract gave me preferential treatment. When I first signed with the company, I was only an adult. One, after signing for three years, even if I regret it later, I still have time to adjust my choice. But after I started trying to film, I learned a lot, and gradually I really liked the job of an actor, so I kept doing it... …The interviews you saw on the Internet, after all, I can’t directly say that it was for money at the beginning, and entering the entertainment industry to become an actor is to realize a dream, does it sound like a lot of suitable in all aspects?”

After listening to him, Yue Ji blinked his eyes, and in the same tone as when he asked Yun Wumi if he was poor, he hesitated and said, "Yun Wumi...it seems that I haven't heard you mention your family. people?"

Hearing this, Yun Wumi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Little monster, what kind of miserable past are you helping me imagine?"

Yue Ji: "Huh?"

Yun Wumi had nothing to do with him, and said jokingly: "I'm stingy, and it has nothing to do with my upbringing. I like making money just because I like the feeling of saving money. As for the family members... it's probably destined to be with my parents. The kinship is weak, although my parents only have me as a child, but our relationship is very distant, the two of them have been around the world for many years and have been unable to contact anyone, and I am used to making decisions by myself."

"However, although we may not be able to see each other once every three to five years, we will call each other during the Spring Festival to express condolences to each other, and if someone happens to miss the call, we will wait for the next Spring Festival to contact each other. But in terms of material conditions, not only did they not treat me badly, but they were very generous. When I was just an adult, they came back once in a while, and allocated a lot of movable and immovable properties to my name... In this way, I have done a lot An opportunity for a charterer."

Yue Ji originally sounded aggrieved for him, but when he heard the words: "..."

Then Yun Wumi said quietly: "Since we talked about some of my personal affairs, why don't we talk about yours by the way?"

"Huh?" Yue Ji tilted his head, "Sure, what do you want to ask me?"

Yun Wumi cleared his throat: "When you were the emperor, at least you lived to the age of 22..."

Yue Ji nodded, waiting for him to continue.

"22 years old, not too young in ancient times." Yun Wumi's eyes fell on Yue Ji's face, "Let's talk about your three thousand beauties in the harem?"

Over the season: "..."
