TN: Sorry this update is late and tomorrow’s update will probably be late as well as I have a hospital appointment and no time to get the next chapter done, sorry, But I’ll try to get a chapter out this week for sure, just a temporary schedule change!

Cen Yueze acted quickly. On the third day after his birthday, Shen Qingshu received the contract from the editor and was ready to sign the copyright.

However, when it comes to signing, there is no small amount of trouble. That is, signing on the contract requires not only a pseudonym but also a real name. At the same time, Shen Qingshu also needs to report his real identity information to the website .

Goldfish: [There is no way. The contract has legal effect, and you must use your real name. So please upload your ID card photo to the website and sign your real name.]

Shen Qingshu: …

Shen Qingshu covered his face in grief.

He signed a work contract with the website before but it was more casual. Therefore, he has not uploaded an ID card, nor reported his real name. Now, they need an ID card and his real name.

Shen Qingshu immediately panicked. How can he deal with this? He can’t really use his ID card.

Shock! Well known actor was actually a popular online writer!

He can imagine all the hot topics! It is estimated that it will not only be popular but will straight out explode!

Shen Qingshu was reluctant. He thought for a while. When Han Cheng came back, he asked him tactfully, “Would you like to share a pen name with me?”

Han Cheng: ? ? ?

“Speak english.”

“To sign the contract, they need me to sign my real name and have an ID card. How can I do that with my identity?”

“And I can?” Han Cheng was shocked, “I am the current director of Han Group and the future general manager. I write novels when I can earn millions in minutes?”

“It’s not impossible~” Shen Qingshu blinked, “to cultivate one’s mind~”

“You say to cultivate one’s mind. I think of it as only love and sex”

Shen Qingshu: …

“Do you say yes or no?”

“Impossible.” Han Cheng waved his hand and stood up to go back to his room. I know what you wrote, if others find out, I will die without a place to be buried.”

“Oh,” Shen Qingshu hurriedly overtook him and persuaded him, “God knows you know and I know, and we won’t tell anyone else. Besides, the editor doesn’t know you, and can’t see your noble status as the second son of the Han family with their naked eyes. I’m different. I’m a star. If she recognizes me, how embarrassing would that be?”

“As long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.” Han Cheng taught him.

“But I’m embarrassed…” Shen Qingshu grabbed his arm and shook it. “Please, just help your pitiful little boyfriend.”

Han Cheng: …

Shen Qingshu looks at him pitifully, and extremely aggrieved.

Han Cheng: …

“Master driver~” Shen Qingshu called to him in a soft voice.

Han Cheng: …

“Ge~”

Han Cheng raised his forehead and said, “Don’t be coquettish. It’s not negotiable. Today the Emperor Laozi is here. I can’t be, In drunk dreams, light up the oil lamp and admire the sword.”

“Boyfriend~”

“I said don’t be coquettish. Give up, I can’t promise you.”

Shen Qingshu: …

Shen Qingshu silently bulged his cheeks and decided to make a big move.

He stood on tiptoe close in his ear, “Husband~”

Han Cheng: ! ! !

Shen Qingshu loosened his hand and turned to walk into the room.

Han Cheng grabbed him, “What did you just call me?”

“Sign it?” Shen Qingshu looks at him leisurely.

Han Cheng: …

Shen Qingshu smiled, “If you sign for me, I’ll call you that in bed tonight. If you don’t sign for me, I’ll call you that next time when I’m in a good mood. As for when is the next time? Just wait.”

Han Cheng: …

Han Cheng is helpless towards him.

Shen Qingshu, smilingly pulled him back to the sofa and sat down, then took out the contract. “Quick, sign your name, and then take a photo of your ID card and send it to me.”

Han Cheng: …

Han Cheng covered his eyes in dismay, “My lifetime of reputation.”

“You are the best.” Shen Qingshu leaned over and kissed him on the face.

Han Cheng put down his hand and looked at him. “How did you just call me? Call me again.”

Shen Qingshu quickly flattered, “Husband~”

Han Cheng pinched his face. “You are really…”

Too f*cking good!1

“You said, tonight!”

Shen Qingshu nodded, “Mm-hmm. I’ll do what I say.”

Han Cheng then picked up his pen and prepared to sign his name, but before he finished writing, he thought of something and reminded Shen Qingshu, “You delete ‘That Night’ for me, and tell the editor.”

“I have mentioned it.” Shen Qingshu said to him, “Don’t worry. I’m afraid of losing my vest and being found by fans. It’s social death.”

So when he saw that Goldfish said he would upload his ID card, he asked her to help him lock the “That Night”. After all, if Han Cheng did not buckle and would rather die than surrender, wouldn’t he have to fight in person?

But fortunately, his boyfriend eats his sugar coated cannons and has agreed.

“Sign quickly, ge.”

Only then did Han Cheng sign his name on the paper, and it was very beautiful.

Shen Qingshu was so happy as he quickly put away the contract, “ID card.”

Han Cheng: …

Han Cheng had to give him his ID card next, “I am so kind to you.”

Shen Qingshu kissed him with a smile and whispered in his ear, “Thank you, husband. You are very kind to me.”

Han Cheng put his arm around him and kissed him directly. He kissed him hard for a long time.

Goldfish was stunned for a long time when she saw Shen Qingshu’s ID card that was uploaded. It was amazing that someone could take such a beautiful ID card photo!

No, she just realised that the author under her command is a man?

In drunk dreams, light up the oil lamp and admire the sword: [OK? Is the background information OK?]

Goldfish:… too okay, too okay!

Goldfish: [Very good, no problem, just send the contract tomorrow.]

When she finished, she couldn’t help asking: [Are you a man, drunk dreams?]

In drunk dreams, light up the oil lamp and admire the sword: [Yes]

Goldfish: [Your name is Han Cheng?]

In drunk dreams, light up the oil lamp and admire the sword: [Yes]

Goldfish: [The same Han Cheng…]

In drunk dreams, light up the oil lamp and admire the sword: [I’m not very good at naming, so I picked them casually.]

I can see. Otherwise, the male owner of the three books would not all be Su Qing. However, the protagonist of Ephemera is Su Qing, not Cheng Han. He also has an obsession with himself!

Goldfish: [Okay, then you continue to work hard!]

In drunk dreams, light up the oil lamp and admire the sword: [En, thank you.]

After he filled in his identity information and confirmed it with the editor, he closed the dialog box and went to see the reader’s comments.

However, as soon as he opened it, he found many readers wailing: [Ah ah ah, why was ‘The Night’ locked?]

[Sobbing, I just wanted to reread it, but I found the lock. Why?!]

[Could the boss unlock it? I want it to accompany me to sleep tonight!]

[Unlock it, rethink your decision!]

Shen Qingshu: … It can’t be unlocked.

Once unlocked, he and Han Cheng will definitely die socially in the future, so I can only apologise.

Shen Qingshu gave a brief explanation in the column, but didn’t specify why. He only said that due to some reasons, ‘The Night’ was temporarily locked. Sorry.

Hearing this, everyone cried more fiercely. Shen Qingshu looked at them and patted their heads one by one in his heart.

A few days later, Ephemera’s copyright was signed, and the website also made a special recommendation, congratulating him on selling the copyright of this book.

The book fan’s of Ephemera were extremely excited and worried: [It’s amazing, that this book’s copyright is sold! I just don’t know who will play Su Qing later?]

[Ah, ah, ah, I don’t want to  see it adapted. Su Qing is so handsome, who can play this handsome role!]

[Compared with Su Qing, I’m more worried about who plays Chen Ai and Jia Jia.]

[I hope the crew will choose the roles well. The plot of this book is so wonderful, and it will be amazing to watch after filming!]

[I hope it is a reliable crew, I don’t know who it was sold to? This script should be made into a movie, right?]

[It’s a movie, but I don’t know which director?]

At the same time, the author and readers who had just mocked Shen Qingshu’s article were surprised to find that he sold the film copyright quietly!

[He really sold it. How awesome!]

[When they wrote this genre before, I felt like they were running to sell copyright, and sure enough.]

[The crime theme has great advantages in selling copyright, especially since his book was pretty good.]

[F*ck, my face was slapped. I thought he didn’t need to write this book before, but now it seems completely necessary!]

[So he is successful in transformation?]

[Not really. We should see the effect after the movie comes out.]

[One thing needs to be said, it’s hard to shoot well, especially for the adaptation of online novels. If there is no professional screenwriter and director to check, the result could be all over the place.]

[Yes, this genre is much more difficult to shoot than a sweet romance, and it is not easy to explode, so it depends on fate.]

[I don’t know how his adaptation is going. If he can’t find reliable writers and directors, he will only earn the copyright fee.]

[That’s not bad. He just started writing. What else do you want?]

Shen Qingshu had just finished the update of the new chapter, and Han Cheng carried him to take a bath.

He lay on the edge of the bathtub, wondering which director and screenwriter he should look for? It didn’t take long for Han Cheng to drag him to enjoy the underwater world.

Han Cheng obviously still had in mind what Shen Qingshu promised him this afternoon. Making continuous great efforts to let him fulfil his promise.

Shen Qingshu couldn’t even remember how many times he begged, but he wasn’t let go. Instead Han Cheng became more and more energetic, simply not human.

He called Han Cheng several more times, and finally fell asleep first in a daze.

The next day, Cen Yueze called him, saying that he had found a producer who would take charge of the project together and asked him to come to the company.

Shen Qingshu hurriedly changed his clothes and rushed to the company. But when he changed his clothes, he saw the kiss marks on his body and inevitably scolded Han Cheng for being a beast.

How he likes this title, so excited! Excitedly tossed for half the night! With unlimited energy!

Shen Qingsyhu complained while changing clothes, contacted his bodyguard and went out.

The producer Cen Yueze found for him is Zhou Mian, who is in his thirties. He has been working in this field for four to five years, and has produced several good works. Recently, he just had time. Cen Yueze told him about Shen Qingshu, and he was willing to join. Cen Yueze arranged for them to meet.

Shen Qingshu greeted him politely, “Hello, Zhou ge.”

“You too.” Zhou Mian smiled.

They chatted in Cen Yueze’s office for a while. Seeing that they got along well, Cen Yueze asked them to go to the meeting room to talk on their own.

Zhou Mian obviously did his homework. As soon as he entered the meeting room, he told Shen Qingshu, “Just now Cen Yuze and I discussed how the budget for this film is one hundred million yuan. If so, I suggest we find a director first?”

“This is a modern setting. There is no need to rent a special venue, and the clothing can be simpler, so we don’t need to spend too much there. So we can allocate more budget for a director. The director needs to be appealing, so many actors will be willing to perform at a reduced price to rub off on the director’s fame. Besides, the director also has their own topicality and basic profile, so I think we need to decide the director first.”

“Do you have anyone in mind?”

“To be honest, Director Zheng, who worked with you before, is a very good candidate. But I’m worried that Director Zheng will not be willing to make another film of this type after he has just made the previous one. So we can contact him to ask, but it’s better not to plan too early.”

Shen Qingshu thinks so too.

He searched for some films of this type these days, and watched the shooting techniques of many other directors. He had a few candidates in mind, but he wanted to hear Zhou Mian’s opinion more now.

“What other directors do you think are more suitable other than Director Zheng?”

Zhou Mian didn’t hide either. He directly reported the names of four directors to him, “I think these four directors are very good at making this genre of film, what do you think?”
