Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness

Chapter 256 Involve In The Production

The next room was a small conference room. After talking for a long time about the tea ceremony, Elmer and Melinda came to the point.

Her words left a deep impression on Elmer.

He had thought Melinda would be a woman who was eager for quick success, or unsociable like most writers. But it turned out that she was a humorous and elegant woman.

She spoke and behaved in a proper manner, which made people feel comfortable.

It was no wonder that people like Jonas had been chasing after her. But he had heard that there were twists and turns inside the story that people hadn't known.

People engaged in this field were interested in the gossip, including Elmer, but he was a man with sense of propriety, so he wouldn't ask.

"I've read your novel, and you may not know much about this circle. I'll tell you something in a simple way..." Elmer was surprised that Melinda could understand his words even about some professional words.

In fact, after knowing that her work could be made into a TV play, Melinda had a specialized understanding of what would happen in making a TV play.

"Of course, it all depends on our cooperation. Here are the specific contracts. See if you need to do any amendments."

Though Melinda's novel was published on the Internet, it saved a lot of trouble because of the release and the copyright of the novel were all in her hand.

She looked carefully at the contract sent by Elmer, and her brows wrinkled more and more tightly. In fact, this was a good contract, but it went against Melinda's original intention in the beginning.

"Director Lin, I have something important to tell you,"

Melinda said as she closed the contract. Elmer looked at her curiously. 'This contract is pretty good to a newborn writer, ' he thought.

"I want to be involved in the production," Melinda said calmly with a serious expression. She was so dedicated to every piece of work that she didn't want to be changed or screwed.

Now, a lot of novels had been made into soap operas, which had hurt the feelings of a lot of the novel's fans. And the result was greatly different from what they had expected.

Not only the plots were changed, but also many aspects were changed from the original appearance. It was as if the big frame and the name of this character were used to film.

The most important part was that this novel was about the story of Jonas and her. She didn't want to ruin it.

Hearing this, Elmer hesitated. He had wanted to sign this contract because it was for the sake of Jonas and the audiences of the novel itself.

If Melinda, an outsider, was involved in the production, there would inevitably be many divergence or other opinions.

What a person most afraid of was being manipulated by someone who did not understand more than him in this circle.

"We have a team to make it. You can rest assured," Elmer said. He had a lot of business partners who were famous in the industry, and he had even tested the opinions of the people in advance.

He didn't expect there would be an accident at this time.

Melinda clearly saw Elmer's embarrassed face, but she had her own insistence.

"I trust you, but I insist on participating in the production. I know that as an outsider, I don't know much about this work, but if it is about this novel, I know it best."

Not only her hard work, but also her life experience, every scene in it was so familiar to her.

This was her story. Melinda didn't like it adapted by other people.

"About this problem, you have to give me some time to think about it. Or you can check again to see if there are any other problems."

If it was someone else, Elmer would definitely say no and think that she was arrogant. But this person was Melinda. According to his understanding just now, he knew her character generally. She did not look arrogant.

He had to discuss this matter with his rich investor, Jonas.

"Thank you, director Lin." Melinda didn't care about the price of the contract and just wanted to participate in and fully interpret the story.

It was eleven o'clock and both of them put down the files in their hands.

"I have made a reservation. Let's have lunch together," Elmer invited Melinda, and she didn't turn him down. They had lunch together and they talked about other topics. They both didn't talk about the conflicts during the meeting. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

After the meal, Melinda returned home to wait for the news of Elmer.

After returning to his residence, Elmer also called Jonas and told him about the disagreement between them.

Jonas was also surprised. Things were almost done, and it was Melinda who had a problem.

"Mr. Gu, I know you have your own financial support and financial assurance, but Miss Mo is still an outsider of our circle, so she doesn't know the rules of our circle. If she rashly joins us, others will gossip about her and cause a lot of inconvenience,"

Elmer said. Most of the people in his team had known each other for a long time. He suddenly found a not very popular novel to shoot and invited the writer in. It was strange that those people didn't gossip.

The most troublesome thing was that he did not want Melinda to cause any loss to the team. This play was not like a novel, and it was not completed by only one person.

It needed a team to make it.

"Director Lin, just let her join it. I'll pay for all the losses and add thirty million for the investment," Jonas said haughtily. As long as Melinda was happy, it didn't matter how much it would cost.

If Melinda was willing to, he could buy a film and television studio for her to work in.

Elmer was hesitating. What Jonas offered was really amazing, but he was worried that it would do harm to his reputation.

He didn't have such achievements until he reached his middle age and he cherished them very much.

Jonas didn't push him, because he believed that his offer was attractive enough.

After thinking for a long time, Elmer gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, I'll help Miss Mo to make the play."

At the worst, he could spend more money in other ways, pay more celebrities and attract more attention by some stunts. Anyway, he could make up for it since he had the support of Jonas.

"Okay. Please tell the news to her two days later,"

Jonas said calmly. Though he had guessed such a result, in order not to arouse Melinda's suspicion, he ordered.

If he gave her the answer directly, it would make Melinda doubt it.

Elmer didn't understand why Jonas did this, but he would keep the task in mind.

After returning home, Melinda was a little depressed. Thinking of the director's hesitation, she was worried that he would go back on his word because of her selfish demands.

In fact, she was contradictory. Melinda hoped that her novel would be made into a TV play and could be under her control.

Many famous writers' novels had been made into TV plays, and few of them had been involved in the process.

Her condition was really embarrassing.

"Argh... I'm so confused." Melinda held a pillow and covered it on her head. At last, she made up her mind to join in the production and not to ruin her work even if it could not be made into a TV play at last.

But it didn't matter. There would definitely be opportunities in the future.

Melinda began to comfort herself, but she was getting more and more anxious.

When Jonas came back, he could feel her anxiety clearly.

"Didn't you go to negotiate the contract today? Why do you look so sad?" Jonas put on his shoes and hung his coat on the clothes hanger. Since he often came here recently, this place almost became half of his home.

After telling him what had happened today, Melinda finally asked cautiously, "Is my request too much?"

As a husband who always indulged himself in protecting his wife, Jonas said that she didn't go too far.

"You are responsible for your work. The spirit is worth praising."

"What if the director regrets?" Melinda said sadly as she looked at Jonas.

"Elmer is not a fool. He asked you to cooperate definitely because he thought that your novel is of high commercial value. Don't worry," Jonas said. Elmer was really not a fool. He had asked for a large sum of money from him because of Melinda's request.

Anyway, Melinda was comforted. After having dinner with her, Jonas took her for a walk. She felt much more relaxed.

But she got no news the next day, so she began to get nervous again. Since she didn't go to work now, she could only stay at home and let her imagination run away when she felt bored.

It had been like this for the past three consecutive days. Melinda looked haggard. In addition, she even had a chain reaction of not eating well these days.

Seeing this, Jonas was very anxious. He didn't know what was going on with Elmer. On this day, he made time deliberately to pick up Melinda for relaxation.

"Do you think it's over? It has been three days without any news." No news was more suffering than being directly refused.

On one hand, she felt there was hope, on the other hand, she was pessimistic about the result. Melinda felt like she was going to have a mental disease.

"The longer it takes, the bigger the hope is. I'm a businessman. You should believe me," Jonas comforted her. When one didn't get an answer, it meant that the other one was in a dilemma.

Why was he in a dilemma? It was because the request was hard to accept, but at the same time, the one was valuable to him.

Melinda was half-convinced and half-sad, like an eggplant withered because of the frost.

"Don't be unhappy. You said once you were unhappy, you would go eating. And I am going to take you to have a big meal today." Jonas touched Melinda's hair gently. He found a red dress from Melinda's wardrobe and let her change her clothes. This way, she finally became energetic.

His clothes were basically black, white and grey, and sometimes light blue. Today, in order to make Melinda happy, he wore a wine red tie.

He was born with delicate facial features and a standard triangle figure. The black shirt and wine red tie made him more flirtatious, which faded his coldness away a lot.
