Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart -
Chapter 507 You'll Be More Famous
Since Julian suggested naming their children, Emelia's attention had been distracted. Shortly after it, she fell asleep. Before sleeping, she kept praising the two names. After hearing the even breath in his arms, Julian breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt sorry for her when she couldn't fall asleep earlier, so he wanted to distract her attention by naming their children. Emelia was spiritless because of the pregnancy, so he must let her sleep well. As for those people who had caused her suffering from insomnia, Julian believed that they would have their karma.
One night after Emelia was slandered by Olivia, the latter had become a notorious person in screenwriting. Everyone blamed and disdained her. Besides, she would be punished by law.
Nina called Emelia the following day. "I didn't expect Manny Bowers to be so generous. He didn't hate me for beating him up at all."
Then she burst into laughter while thinking about Manny's miserable look back then.
Manny used to be taller and more robust than the same-age students, but he wasn't a good fighter. Nina used to learn martial arts since childhood. Hence, she could easily win against Manny. Emelia could still recall how rattled Manny was whenever seeing Nina. Time flies, as if in a fleeting moment, they had grown up, entered the society and started a family.
Emelia said, "By the way, Nina, I want to invite Manny for a meal to thank him. If you return to town, let's have it together.
She knew Julian was jealous, so she actively invited Nina to join her.
Nina snorted, "I don't need to go. Manny used to pursue you at high school. I'm sure Mr. Hughes will definitely go."
Emelia heaved a sigh helplessly, "The dinner would be enjoyable if you went with me. Otherwise, I'm afraid he would skin Manny alive."
Julian was way too petty, and Emelia knew it well.
She wasn't good at hyping up the atmosphere. Julian disliked Manny. If Nina didn't go with them, Emelia would have no idea how to finish dinner.
Nina laughed. "All right. I'll go back in two days. I can also help you choose the wedding dresses after returning."
"Okay." Emelia felt joyful when thinking about her return.
Olivia's farce made Emelia's novel attract many producers' attention, although she wished to write it slowly and keep it low-key. She received several calls in the morning, quite busy. Julian had gone to work, so Emelia went to see her father.
After hanging up another call, Emelia said to Vincent unhappily, "I haven't decided to make the novel into a script yet, but those producers and directors tried to convince me to make it as long as this kind of drama is popular nowadays. They said it would be a blockbuster in this case."
"Don't listen to them. Those producers are machines driving by interests," said Vincent gently, "Just go ahead with your own plan. As long as the script is good, it can become a blockbuster at any time." "Try your best effort to maintain the quality of your work. After the book becomes popular, you'll have a large fan base. Others will follow your plan and opinions." That was Vincent's experience over the years in the industry, and he shared it with his daughter.
Emelia nodded. "Noted. I plan to write the novel during my pregnancy. After the babies are born, I'll return to work. Then I can let this project go further."
"Earlier, Julian wanted to invest in this drama, but I refused," Emelia said,
Vincent snorted. "Ask him to stop messing around with your scripts in the future. Or, others will think he's your backer and has made you famous."
Emelia had inherited his good genes and worked hard, so she would become a famous screenwriter sooner or later. Vincent hoped she could distinguish herself from Julian in her career as he didn't want Emelia's talent and hard work to be misunderstood by the public.
Emelia said with a smile, "That's what I think. I'll talk to him later."
"Good," said Vincent, "He doesn't lack money or projects. He should step away from yours."
"Although he wants to protect you, you are not a fragile plant in the greenhouse. You don't need it." Vincent could understand why Julian wanted to invest in Emelia's works, but he only wanted Julian to love and care for Emelia. Emelia could fight for her career independently.
Emelia said happily, "Dad, why are you so wise? I was afraid you would take his side and ask me to accept his sponsorship."
Earlier, she discussed the projects with Julian. She also mentioned that she wanted to write a family controversy drama. Julian said he wanted to invest in her projects without any hesitation. Emelia promised that she could let him compete with other sponsors, but she did wish he could distance himself from her in her career.
Vincent heaved a sigh. "I hope you can develop your career without a hitch. However, I'm your father. I'll have a long-run vision for you. In this world, no one can be under someone's shelter forever. What if Julian nor I were with you one day? I hope you still can survive. That was my ultimate purpose."
Emelia felt a bit upset after hearing his words. She hugged Vincent gently.
Many producers called Emelia, and she refused them one after another.
However, Viggo called her and told her again Tymers Entertainment wanted to buy the copyright of her novel.
Emelia recalled that Viggo had called her as soon as she mentioned writing a novel for Nina during the interview. She was in a dilemma when Viggo called her again.
Viggo knew she wanted to write it slowly, so he hurriedly said, "It's alright. We're patient.
"I mean, no matter when you finish it, we can wait for you. My only request is, please don't sell the copyright to anyone else or let anyone else film it?"
Emelia asked in confusion, "May I know the reason, please?"
She wondered why Tymers insisted on buying this drama.
"Uh..." Viggo sounded awkward. "You'll know in the future, Emelia. Anyway, please don't sell it to anyone else. Or, it'll be a lifetime regret."
His business partner kept reminding him to get this novel's copyright.
The novel was about his business partner's youth. Of course, others couldn't film it.
If this novel would be made into a drama, it should be the business partner who invested in it or even film it in person.
Viggo couldn't make it so clear now, so he had to give Emelia a vague answer for the time being.
Emelia mused. Then she asked, "Did Cameron Dauster ask you to buy it?"
Viggo was wordless.
He wondered if he should tell her the truth or continue hiding it.
"I can only tell you for the sake of our friendship, please don't sell it to another sponsor, Emelia." Viggo chose to hide it eventually. Anyway, his business partner would come back soon. He would leave everything to his partner then.
