Chapter 23 Invest! Invest!
"Wright, you are amazing. Judging from the results, I don't have much to teach you. It may take other doctors several years to complete the transition from one point to a whole, but you seem to have learned it by yourself.

Being able to produce more common results from perovskites is a talent that is more important to scientists than IQ.

We often discuss that the ability to find problems is very important in the scientific research process. Having a good mentor can help you in the process of finding problems and help you find a job that you can reach and produce results.

In this way, newcomers in the scientific research community can rely on such results to get through their novice period. Your ability to see from a point to a surface is a more advanced ability to discover problems.

Very good, please give me the paper and I need to take another look at it. I don’t quite understand the design of some of the algorithms in it, and I may need to discuss it with you at any time.

The publication of the paper will be based on your opinion. The first one will be published in JACS and the second one will be published in Nature.

No, no, no, if the two previous articles were put together to form a series, they should both be published in Nature, which is equivalent to the results of a series.

Let’s review the paper first, and I will contact the editor at Nature about the specific publication date.”

Bawendi seemed very excited, pacing back and forth in the laboratory, thinking about some key points in the paper.

Bawendi felt that he had found a treasure. Compared with the Chinese PhDs he had previously supervised, the abilities demonstrated by Chen Yuanguang were something they had not been able to demonstrate when they graduated with their PhDs.

Chen Yuanguang said: "Professor, I think it's OK. After we review the paper and Nature reviews it, when can it be published?"

Bawendi said: "It is estimated to be around the end of May or the beginning of June. Because this is a series, and it is a combination of artificial intelligence, computational chemistry and materials chemistry, it may be difficult for them to find reviewers."

Bawendi suddenly laughed: "After these two papers are published in Nature, they will probably invite you to be a reviewer. You will probably be the youngest reviewer of Nature."

Chen Yuanguang thought, June, this time point is very suitable.

“Ms. Lin, I understand what you mean, but it does not mean that Mr. Chen of Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur will be able to enjoy the film and television dividends.

This is unreasonable. We can offer a price of half a million for a new writer's debut novella, which is a rare high price in the industry.

It does not have ready-made traffic like online novels, nor does it have its own IP value like works by well-known writers.

Its greatest IP value even comes from the Science Fiction World Writers Rising Star Competition, of which we are the sponsor.

We expect Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur to be released during the May Day holiday or later, Singles’ Day.

If it performs well at the box office and has the potential to become a series of IPs, we don’t mind giving Mr. Chen dividends from subsequent film and television works, or even gradually increasing the dividends. "Jenny argued reasonably.

As mentioned earlier, Jenny is Guo Wei’s boss and the vice president of Tencent’s video content production department.

She heard Guo Wei say that the author's authorized agent for "Kuala Lumpur Past" came to her and hoped to renegotiate the copyright issue.

Jenny didn't even want to respond. What was she thinking? Did she think Tencent's legal department was just there to do nothing? She wanted to go back on her words after selling the copyright?

Later, the film and television investment company under the Lin Jia family business found her through connections, and Jenny learned about the other party's background. She knew that she couldn't afford to offend the eldest daughter, so she made an appointment to meet in Hangzhou offline. It happened that they had to go to Hangzhou on a business trip for a merger and acquisition.

Lin Jia was very calm, and his aura of keeping people at a distance came over him: “Jenny, as you said, it is impossible for a normal writer to sign such a contract for his first work.

But Chen Yuanguang is obviously not a normal person. He has all the potential to become a star writer. He has good looks, height, is a top student, and has no bad habits.

Isn't it because Tencent wants to keep him hidden and doesn't want him to burst out so quickly that he hasn't been discovered by the media yet? "Jenny heard Lin Jia's hidden meaning, "You're right, these are potentials, but they don't mean he can really become popular.

If someone has enough potential, they will definitely become famous, and there will be no need for the profession of scout.

You should also know that there are many cases in the industry where they have top resources and their own talents are not bad, but they just can’t become popular.

The same goes for writers. Tencent gave Mr. Chen 50 yuan considering his potential. There is a limit to this kind of advance payment. Do you understand what I mean?"

Lin Jia said: "There is a clause in the contract that requires Party B to provide appropriate cooperation in the subsequent promotion of the film and television works.

What is appropriate cooperation is very sophisticated. If the subsequent publicity is all unilaterally combined with news by Tencent, it will definitely not achieve the publicity effect you hope for. "

Lin Jia's remarks captured the key points.

Jenny's expression did not change, but she became nervous inside. She knew exactly what Lin Jia meant. They hoped that Chen Yuanguang would cooperate in accepting interviews and opening a Weibo account for promotion before the movie was released.

This will achieve the greatest publicity effect.

If Chen Yuanguang was unwilling, and only the paper itself was promoted through print media, the dissemination strength would be greatly reduced. After being linked with the movie, the positive effect on the movie promotion would be even worse.

The contract was signed in this way because Chen Yuanguang asked a lawyer to revise it before signing. Originally, this clause was to be deleted, but the vague space was left after negotiations between the two parties.

Now that Lin Jia has found me, even if we sue, we’ll still lose even if we win.

Jenny asked, “I understand what you mean. If you need Mr. Chen’s cooperation, what do you want?”

Lin Jia grinned and thought, don’t I know what you are planning?

However, considering that they wanted to cooperate for a long time, Lin Jia did not want to ask for too much: "What we want is very simple, we don't want dividends, we want the investment amount for the movie.

We will help Tencent share the risk, and we will invest 30% of the total investment amount."

Jenny couldn't hold it in anymore because it was too much. "Thirty percent is too much. One million at most."

Tencent is very optimistic about this project. If Chen Yuanguang is willing to cooperate, it will have more room for operation.

The two sides haggled over the amount of money, and finally settled on an investment amount of eight million.

Jenny sighed, “Ms. Lin, you are the most difficult opponent I have ever met, but I still hope that we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future, and I also hope that “Once Upon a Time in Kuala Lumpur” will be a big hit.

We will have many opportunities for subsequent cooperation.”

Lin Jia's slightly frowned brows relaxed, and he was no longer so tense, with a sense of relaxation after achieving his goal: "Jenny, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future. In addition to this, I have some requests on behalf of my client."
