Small ÷ Said ◎ Net 】, ♂ Small ÷ Said ◎ Net 】,
The day after Xiao Yunhai returned to school, he received a call from Zhang Liye.
"Yunhai, good news. The sales of The Legend of Chu Liuxiang exceeded 5 million copies."
Today's "Legend of Chu Liuxiang" can be said to be a household name, and the sales of 5 million copies is a miracle in the novel world. Although sales have entered a period of weakness now, the madness for more than half a month has easily made it the best-selling novel of this year.
As for Li Tianming's "Angel", due to quality problems, the sales volume has only reached more than 2.3 million copies, which is not comparable to "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang".
"That's great. Teacher Zhang, thank you very much. If you hadn't tried your best to promote my book, I'm afraid we wouldn't have achieved this result." Xiao Yunhai said happily.
"To achieve such good results, the main reason is the quality of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", which allows those heroes who have retreated to come out to breathe. I don't have such a big face to please them. Ha ha. Here, the assistant of the great director He Jin called yesterday to say that Director He liked "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" and wanted to make it into a TV series. Yunhai, what do you think?"
"Of course. When are they coming?"
"tomorrow morning."
"Okay, no problem. Let's meet them at the Luzhou Moon Teahouse next to the publishing house."
"Okay. By the way, I'm going to the bank to divide your novels and transfer them to your card. Please check them carefully. The total is 15.35 million after tax.
"so much."
"You can do the math yourself. Every time you sell a book, the profit is 15 yuan, and you account for 25% of it. If you don't need to pay personal income tax, you should be more than 19 million now. "
Xiao Yunhai didn't expect that he would earn so much, he laughed and said, "Thank you, Teacher Zhang. See you tomorrow."
The next day, Xiao Yunhai and Zhang Liye, who were wearing sunglasses to cover their tracks, came to Luzhou Moon Teahouse, ordered a pot of good Biluochun, and quietly waited for He Jin to arrive.
The appointment was at ten o'clock in the morning, but until eleven o'clock, He Jin did not come.
Xiao Yunhai's face remained calm, sipping tea quietly, his mind was calm, and there was no trace of anxiety. Under the tutelage of his grandfather,
I really like drinking tea, especially after practicing kung fu.
He felt that drinking a pot of tea could calm his mind, remove the killing intent brought by kung fu, and make the whole body and mind feel a little bit of a world away. This is the mood that everyone often talks about, the mood of tea tasting.
But Zhang Liye couldn't take it anymore. He looked at the watch on his wrist for a while, and then turned to look at the door for a while, without the mood of drinking tea at all.
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhang, can you calm down a bit? We don't have anything important anyway, just wait a while. Why be so anxious."
Zhang Liye waved his hand and complained: "I can't be in a hurry. It's been more than an hour since it was ten o'clock, so even if it's a big game, it's enough. Why does it seem like we're begging them. They don't want to buy it, and we're not selling it yet."
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Maybe it's because someone has something to delay. I think you should calm down and have a good tea, this Biluochun is really good. It's no wonder that it can be sold for 300 yuan a tael, it's really worth the money. ." After speaking, he took the cup and took a slow sip, showing a look of enjoyment on his face.
Zhang Liye admired Xiao Yunhai to the point of being in awe, he extended his thumb to Xiao Yunhai and said, "Yunhai, do you know? I have lived most of my life, and among the people I have met, apart from those seven or eight You should be the first one who is over ten years old. It is strange to say that you are obviously in your twenties, but sometimes, I feel as if there is another soul in your body. Warm and cool, dealing with problems just right. Don't say I can't do it now, even if you give me another ten years, I won't be able to reach your level. "
Xiao Yunhai was startled when he heard Zhang Liye's words, the teacup in his hand trembled slightly, but a smile on his face said: "Mr. Zhang's words flatter me. I just experienced more things than others. Hey. , you look back, they seem to be coming?"
Zhang Liye hurriedly turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with big sunglasses walking in first, followed by a young man who looked like an assistant.
After he came in, he first glanced around. After seeing Zhang Liye and Xiao Yunhai, he walked over and asked, "Chu Liuxiang?"
Zhang Liye nodded, stood up, and said, "Are you Director He?"
"Yes, I am." He Jin took off his sunglasses, revealing an angular face. He said apologetically to Zhang Liye: "I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting. The flight is delayed, and I have to avoid the reporter's tracking. It's too late. I'm really sorry."
Zhang Liye saw that such a big director could bend down and apologize sincerely, and his dissatisfaction disappeared.
"Director He, it's serious. You may have some misunderstandings, so let me introduce you first. I'm Zhang Liye from Minsheng Publishing House, and this is Mr. Xiao Yunhai, the writer He is looking for."
He Jin couldn't hide the surprise on his face when he heard this. He looked at Xiao Yunhai from top to bottom and sighed: "It really is a hero. It's a boy. Mr. Xiao can write something like "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" at a young age. Such martial arts novels are truly awe-inspiring."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Director He has won the award. You two, please sit down and taste this fine Biluochun."
He Jin was not polite, and sat across from Xiao Yunhai.
Xiao Yunhai smiled slightly, and he found that he really liked this person a little bit. He doesn't have the air of a big director at all, but feels that he has a reckless spirit, and he does things simply and neatly, without pretentiousness, quite a bit of an ancient heroic style.
Xiao Yunhai added tea for the two of them, He Jin thanked him, picked up the cup, and sighed: "Tea is a good thing, but I don't know how to taste it. The main reason is that my temperament is hot and fast, and it matches the elegance of tea. Chen's disobedience has made the two of you laugh."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "This is because He Dao has a true temperament and will not suppress his temper."
When He Jin heard this, he slapped it on his thigh, showing a heroic expression, and said, "Mr. Xiao's words are very good, and it suits my heart. I found that we were really interesting. Feeling similar. Why don't we do this, let's not be polite, you can call me Laohe in the future, and I will call you Yunhai, how about it?"
Xiao Yunhai naturally nodded in agreement.
This big director is a big director, no matter what his personality is, the effort to pull the relationship is very powerful. Those successful directors in the previous life were all top lobbyists, and their mouths were full of tricks, especially when they talked about movies, they could make you dizzy. But think about it, without this level, they would not be able to find investment for their films.
"Yunhai, let's get down to business. You must be clear about my purpose, which is to bring your "Legend of Chu Liuxiang" to the TV screen. Since you are here, it means that you agree in principle, and the rest is a matter of interest. I'm going to give you one million to buy the rights to this novel. What do you think?"
He Jin went straight in without being polite to Xiao Yunhai, and went straight to the dry goods.
According to the current market, the 1 million adaptation rights should be at the upper-middle level. It is difficult for ordinary newcomers to get such a price. He Jin is relatively kind.
