Chapter 255 The Truth Of The TV play
"Linda,"
Jonas called her again, and there was already a hint of anger in his voice. Melinda finally raised her
head. Seeing his sullen face, she was a little afraid.
"Good girl, go to sleep, okay?" Melinda looked a little bit grievous. Seeing this, Jonas felt helpless in an
instant. He touched her head and said in a soft voice.
Melinda glanced at the novel and Jonas hesitantly, without saying anything for a long time.
"You just have an appointment tomorrow and the contract is not signed yet. What's more, you have set
the characters. So it's useless to change the outline now. You should go to sleep now,"
said Jonas, thinking about whether his decision was right or wrong.
"You make sense." Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Hearing what he said, Melinda felt that what Jonas said was right. Thinking of that she had revised it for
a long time, she once again doubted that how much her IQ had been reduced after she was pregnant.
"Of course I am right. You are too stubborn. Even if you don't worry about yourself now, you should at
least think about our baby."
As he said, Jonas put his big palm on Melinda's belly. It was a simple move that shocked him greatly,
as if he could take a step closer to the baby.
After a long time, Melinda finally compromised. She yawned sleepily and leaned herself on Jonas.
"I'm so sleepy," Melinda mumbled. Just now, she did force herself too much. Jonas held her tightly.
Then he directly carried her to the bedroom.
As soon as Melinda touched the bed, she turned over and she also rolled up the quilt. Jonas then went
to the kitchen to prepare a cup of maternity milk for her.
"Drink it before you go to sleep."
Melinda was so sleepy that she could not open her eyes. In the end, the milk was fed to her by Jonas.
After she fell asleep, Jonas left a bedside lamp. Looking at her sleeping face and thinking of her
stubborn look just now, he could not help but smile.
"How could you take care of yourself and our baby like this?"
Then Jonas bent over and left a gentle kiss on Melinda's forehead, and went to the study next door.
The computer was not turned off, and the screen displayed the novel of Melinda.
Although Melinda was a little famous, her popularity was not enough to attract the attention of the
famous directors like Elmer.
All these were arranged by Jonas. He suddenly recalled the early days when Melinda had been in low
spirits.
Jonas was very worried about her at that time. He tried every means to amuse her every day, but to no
avail.
"Linda, you seem to be in a bad mood recently?" Jonas bought her favorite red velvet cake, but
Melinda didn't eat it at all after a glance.
He couldn't hide his feelings in front of Melinda, so he asked directly.
Looking at Jonas, Melinda was a little hesitant and a little aggrieved. Looking at her, Melinda thought
she was bullied and suddenly became anxious.
His eyes became fierce. From the look in his eyes, Melinda knew that Jonas must have misunderstood
her.
"No, I am not. Perhaps I am too sensitive because of pregnancy." She was still depressed. After being
pregnant, she worked less and spent most of the time nourishing the fetus. The company usually gave
many opportunities which should belong to her to others.
Melinda's status in the company had changed subtly.
They writers relied on the exposure of the articles. Without a good page, Melinda's reputation had been
greatly damaged.
And that was why she felt very depressed.
She loved the child in her belly, and she loved her career as well. She wanted to protect both of them
well, but her body was not strong enough.
At this time, Melinda kind of understood the pain of those strong women when they were pregnant, and
she had always felt that she was a little woman.
"Linda, I hope that you can tell me anything, not just bear it alone."
Hearing Melinda's perfunctory answer, Jonas didn't plan to force her to say it out. Instead, he began to
think how to coax her into telling him the whole story. In order to make her happy, he needed to use
specific method.
"Jonas, do you think there will be such a kind of fan who likes all of you because she likes on of your
articles?" Melinda wondered if this was true love which was supported by the exposure.
What made Melinda feel more depressed was that she seldom wrote articles recently. And the only one
which was published on the Internet was written when she was not in mood. Many people began to say
that her talent was running out.
Many people even wrote negative comments in the comment area of Melinda to talk about this matter,
and many began to be professional anti-fans to find fault with Melinda.
"You have to trust yourself,"
Jonas encouraged her with a smile. He had always believed that Melinda would grow into a lady of
glory and admiration. However, before Melinda climbed to the peak, she faced the challenge first.
If she didn't trust herself, she would deny the meaning of her existence.
Melinda began to deny the meaning of her novel. It was an accident that she came to this way to
express her inner feelings.
She needed a suitable outlet, or she would not be able to hold on.
But it would only be for one time, and that was forever. She loved to write stories from then on.
"But I feel awful when I read those novels I write now,"
Melinda said in a sad voice. She was more or less influenced by the comments of the netizens in the
commenting area. She wanted to write a good story to prove herself.
But she found herself lack of energy.
"Those who judge others are mostly people with poor life. Do you have to deny yourself for such
people? Linda, trust me. Someone will figure out who you are and confirm your value,"
said Jonas, while thinking about how to deal with this matter. It was easy to affect Melinda's current
mood. If the matter continued to escalate, it would make her worse.
Jonas even began to think whether there was another plot behind it.
The next day, without telling Melinda, Jonas went to find Elmer who was a famous director in TV series
and had won many awards in TV series.
Well-known directors have their own characteristics. And so did Elmer. To show his sincerity, Jonas had
come into contact with him in person.
When he met him, he directly recommended Melinda's novel to the director.
"I want to invest in making this novel to a TV play, but I need a good director," said Jonas. He took out
a novel outline from Melinda's computer, which contained a lot about the specific background and so
on.
Although it was not as straightforward as the script, Elmer felt comfortable to read it. Therefore, for the
sake of Jonas, Elmer read it carefully.
"It's good, but it needs to be revised." As Elmer said, he closed the document. To be honest, most of
the TV plays required novel and touching characters. Melinda's novel was close to life, and the most
outstanding part of it was the words.
However, this kind of TV play needed actors to interpret it.
"It's a published novel. You can have a look. Contact her if you have time." Jonas gave Elmer Melinda's
phone number with a smiling face. He showed his attitude that he would definitely invest in this TV
series and he would definitely find someone to shoot it.
If Elmer didn't agree, he could ask someone else for help.
Since Jonas had the ability to be arrogant like that, Elmer was a little hesitant, but he finally agreed,
"Okay, I'll contact her after I read it."
Elmer was touched by Melinda's words, so he contacted her.
At the same time, he also heard some people talk about the relationship between Melinda and Jonas,
so he knew something.
A TV play was going to be a hit. In addition to its own story, the other aspects were very important,
including the actors, the staff, the advertising and other complicated things.
Therefore, investing was also very important.
Since Jonas was with him, he had a fixed investor. Elmer had confidence in himself and would make a
grand work.
At this time, he had many thoughts in his mind, waiting for the agreement of cooperation with Melinda.
They met at a restaurant of a hotel in A City. Wearing the dress that had been arranged by Jonas,
Melinda started off for the hotel.
"Do you really not need me to accompany you?" Jonas asked Melinda while she was unfastening the
seat belt.
"Can I have a good talk after you sitting there with a cold face?"
Jonas was helpless. There was nothing he could do about it. As long as there was no problem with
Melinda's side, the cooperation would be successful. So he didn't worry much.
"Go for it!" He tried to cheer Melinda up, but she had already opened the door and got off the car. Only
her back and her waving could be seen by Jonas.
The Chinese restaurant was on the second floor. Melinda went upstairs directly and led by the usher to
a private box.
Melinda pushed the door open and came in. A middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa. On the table in
front of him, there were two cups of tea, and even a wisp of scented flowers' smell.
He had a long hair and was wearing a grey casual suit and a pair of black framed glasses. He was
holding a cup of tea in his hand.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, he put down the tea cup and looked up. He saw a
trace of surprise in the eyes of Melinda, but Melinda quickly regained her composure.
"Director Elmer." At last, Melinda walked up to him and greeted him. Elmer stood up from his seat and
shook hands with her politely. Then, she sat on the sofa at his right side.
"This hotel is quite famous for its scented flower tea. Have a try." He seemed to be a kind senior
greeting with Melinda. He remembered all the taboo of Melinda that Jonas had told him. That was why
the drink on the table was the light flower tea.
"We need to taste it very carefully to find out it is sweet." Melinda sniffed the fragrance, and then took a
sip. She tasted it carefully. The taste of the scented flower tea was relatively light, but the taste of the
flowers was strong. Only by smelling it carefully could she taste the sweetness that was moisturizing
the heart.
Hearing what Melinda said, Elmer burst into laughter happily. And he repeatedly said that it was rare.
