"Light, you're amazing. From the results, there's not much more I can teach you. To go from a single point to a whole surface, other PhD students might take several years to make that transition, but you seem to have learned it all on your own.

Being able to produce more accessible results from perovskites is a talent more important than IQ for a scientist.

We often discuss how important the ability to find problems is in the research process. With a good mentor, they can help you in your search for problems, helping you find work that is within your reach and can produce results.

This way, newcomers to the research field can get through the beginner stage with such achievements. Your ability to go from a single point to a whole surface is a more advanced ability to discover problems.

Excellent. Give me the paper. I need to look at it again. I don't quite understand some of the algorithm designs inside. I might need to find you to discuss them at any time.

For the publication, we'll follow your suggestion. The first paper will be published in JACS, and the second one in Nature.

No, no, no. If the first two papers are combined into a series, they should both be published in Nature. This is equivalent to a series of achievements.

Let's go over the paper first. For the specific publication, I will contact the editors at Nature then."

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

Bawendi felt like he had found a treasure. Compared to the Chinese PhD students he had supervised before, the ability Chen Yuanguang displayed was something they hadn't shown even when they graduated.

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

Bawendi said, "Probably around the end of May or early June. Because this is a series, and it's a combination of artificial intelligence, computational chemistry, and materials chemistry, it might be difficult for them to find reviewers."

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

Chen Yuanguang thought to himself, June, this timing is very suitable.

"Ms. Lin, I understand your meaning, but that doesn't mean Mr. Chen, the author of Kuala Lumpur Affairs, can enjoy film and television dividends.

This is unreasonable. We can offer a price of 500,000 for a debut novella by a new writer. This is already a rare high price in the industry.

It's not like online novels with existing traffic, nor is it like the works of famous writers that come with their own IP value.

Its biggest IP value even comes from the Science Fiction World New Star Competition that we sponsored.

We expect Kuala Lumpur Affairs to be released during the May Day holiday or later on Singles' Day.

If its box office performance is good and it has the potential to become a series IP, we absolutely don't mind giving Mr. Chen dividends for subsequent film and television works, and even gradually increasing dividends," Jenny argued reasonably.

It was mentioned earlier that Jenny is Guo Wei's superior, the Vice President of the Goose Factory Video Content Production Department.

When she heard Guo Wei say that the authorized agent of the author of Kuala Lumpur Affairs had come to them, hoping to renegotiate the copyright matter.

Jenny didn't even want to bother. What was she thinking? Did she think the Goose Factory's legal department was useless? They wanted to go back on a copyright that had been sold and written down in black and white?

Later, after the film and television investment company under Lin Jia's family business found her through connections, Jenny realized the other party's background. She couldn't afford to offend the young lady, so she arranged to meet in Hang City. It just so happened that they had an acquisition and were coming to Hang City for a business trip.

Lin Jia was very calm, exuding an aura of keeping people at a distance. "Jenny, as you said, a normal writer's first work wouldn't sign such a contract.

But Chen Yuanguang is clearly not a normal person. He has all the potential to be built into a star writer. His looks are good, his height is good, he's a top student, and he has no bad habits.

Isn't the reason he hasn't been discovered by the media yet because the Goose Factory wants to keep him hidden and doesn't want him to break out so quickly?"

Jenny understood Lin Jia's hidden meaning, "You're right, these are potentials, but it doesn't mean he will definitely become popular.

If potential alone guaranteed popularity, then there would be no need for the profession of a talent 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 don't become popular.

It's the same logic for writers. The Goose Factory offering 500,000 is already considering Mr. Chen's potential. This kind of advance has a limit, do you understand what I mean?"

Lin Jia said, "There's a clause in the contract that says Party B needs to appropriately cooperate with the promotional work for subsequent film and television works.

What 'appropriately cooperate' means is open to interpretation. If the subsequent promotion is entirely based on the Goose Factory unilaterally combining it with news, it definitely won't achieve the promotional effect you hope for."

Lin Jia's remarks hit the core point.

Jenny's expression didn't change, but she felt nervous inside. She understood exactly what Lin Jia meant. They hoped Chen Yuanguang would cooperate by accepting interviews and opening a Weibo account for promotion before the movie was released.

Only then could the maximum promotional effect be achieved.

If Chen Yuanguang was unwilling and only relied on the paper media promotion of the paper itself, the spread would be greatly reduced. After being linked to the movie, the positive effect on the movie's promotion would be even worse.

The reason the contract was signed this way was also because Chen Yuanguang had a lawyer revise it before signing. Originally, this clause was to be deleted, but after negotiation between both parties, this ambiguous space was left.

Now that Lin Jia had found it, even if they went to court, winning would still be losing.

Jenny asked, "I understand what you mean. If Mr. Chen needs to cooperate, what do you want?"

Lin Jia grinned, thinking, Do I not know what you're planning?

However, considering they wanted long-term cooperation, Lin Jia didn't want to ask for too much: "What we want is very simple. We don't want dividends, we want an investment quota in the movie.

We will share the risk for the Goose Factory, and we want a 30% investment quota of the total investment."

Jenny couldn't hold back this time, because this was asking for too much, "30% is too much, at most one million."

The Goose Factory internally was very optimistic about this project. If Chen Yuanguang was willing to cooperate, their operational space would be even greater.

The two sides went back and forth on the amount, haggling over every penny, and finally settled on an investment quota of eight million.

Jenny sighed, "Ms. Lin, you are the most difficult opponent I have ever met, but I still hope we cooperate happily in the future, and I also hope Kuala Lumpur Affairs sells well.

We will have many opportunities for future cooperation."

Lin Jia's slightly furrowed brows relaxed, and her whole person was no longer so tense. There was a sense of relaxation after achieving her goal: "Jenny, I hope we cooperate happily in the future. Besides this, on behalf of my client, I have a few more requests."
