Chapter 186: Acquire the film and television copyright of 'Ghost Blowing the Lantern'! Enter the onl
The snow has stopped.
The weather in Beijing is still cold.
When Liu Jia came over yesterday, she didn't bring any thick clothes and only wore a thin coat. It was inconvenient for Cao Jun to let her wear Zeng Li's clothes, so he gave Liu Jia his down jacket to wear.
Cao Jun is taller, while Liu Jia is petite, only about 165cm tall. Wearing Cao Jun's down jacket looks like wearing a military coat.
However, there is a saying that goes well, if you are good-looking, you will look good no matter what you wear. Although Liu Jia is not a beauty in the entertainment industry, she is still a little girl.
Among ordinary people, Liu Jia is also a pretty girl with her good looks.
For Liu Jia, his only god-sister, Cao Jun still loves her very much, and he usually cares about her life and puts himself in her shoes.
This time, Liu Jia came to visit her and warmed her bed. She was very considerate, and Cao Jun was quite satisfied. He even went to the kitchen himself and cooked a bowl of beef noodles for her.
Seeing Liu Jia eating the beef noodles he cooked with relish, Cao Jun felt full of accomplishment and asked her: "Is it delicious?
Liu Jia said "hmm" and replied with a smile: "It's delicious, you can eat it too, wait until it cools down."
"Okay," Cao Jun nodded and began to eat noodles.
After eating half a bowl of noodles, Cao Jun asked with great interest: "Has the house been decorated?"
Liu Jia took a sip of the hot soup and replied: "Not yet, don't worry, we'll talk about it in two years."
Cao Jun felt that it shouldn't be the case. Based on Liu Jia's current salary, if you shoot for about a year, it would be no big problem to earn decoration expenses. Then he asked: "Are you thinking of returning the money to me first?"
Liu Jia felt a little guilty after being exposed. She didn't dare to look directly into Cao Jun's eyes and said timidly: "Brother Jun, don't be angry. I think... only with pressure can you be motivated.
Before Liu Jia could say anything, Cao Jun interrupted: "Forget it, if you want to be like this, then don't call me Brother Jun anymore. I'm not qualified to be your brother!"
"I've told you many times not to pay me back the money yet. You promised me back then, and you want to do this again now. What do you mean? Are you turning a deaf ear to my words? Are you treating me like an outsider?'
Seeing Cao Jun so angry, Liu Jia was also very anxious. She hurriedly pulled Cao Jun's sleeve and carefully explained: "No, Brother Jun, I didn't mean that. You misunderstood me."
"You can lend me money to buy a house. I am already very grateful to you. I only want to return the money to you because I regard you as my brother. I can't take advantage of you. I cherish the relationship between us."
After listening to Liu Jia's explanation, Cao Jun said: "Jiajia, if you treat me as your brother, don't be in a hurry to return the money to me. If you are really rich, use the money for decoration first, or give it to me."
Buy another house for yourself and provide another house."
"According to my estimation, housing prices in Beijing will continue to rise for at least another 15 years. The reason why I support you buying a house is not only because I want you to have a place to live in Beijing.'
"I want you to have a relatively stable life. Even if you don't film in the future, at least you will still have a big house in the capital."
Under Cao Jun's patient persuasion, Liu Jia finally stopped worrying. Moreover, she accepted Cao Jun's suggestion and prepared to buy another house in the capital.
Although Liu Jia was not sure whether housing prices in the capital would rise in the future, he believed in Cao Jun and his foresight.
After eating and drinking, Cao Jun originally wanted to do some exercise with Liu Jia to eliminate food, but at this moment, his cell phone rang.
Cao Jun picked up his cell phone and saw that it was a call from Tong Hua, asking him to meet at a cafe.
"Jiajia, I'm going out for a while, you stay at home."
"Okay, go ahead and pay attention to safety on the road.
Forty minutes later.
Cao Jun left Ziyu Villa and met Tong Hua, the author of "Step by Step", in a coffee shop.
After chatting for a while, Tong Hua asked with a smile: "Mr. Cao, do you really want to make "Bu Bu Jing Xin" into a TV series?" As the author of "Bu Bu Jing Xin", Tong Hua is also looking forward to it.
My novel can be made into a TV series as soon as possible.
This is the dream of most writers. The ultimate goal of most writers is to shoot their novels into film and television works like Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Qiong Yao, and Tong Hua is no exception.
Cao Jun said calmly: "Of course, if it's quick, it might be filmed in one year, or maybe two years, but it won't be more than five years at the latest." Tong Hua asked expectantly: "Are you sure it will be filmed within five years?
"
Cao Jun vowed: "There will definitely be no problem in five years, but it may be a bit difficult in one year. After all, we have the copyright, we still need to find a screenwriter to adapt it, and we also need to prepare a crew and so on."
"It will take at least three to five months to complete a set of procedures, which is relatively fast.
After listening to Cao Jun's detailed analysis, Tong Hua felt confident, and then asked: "Mr. Cao, I believe in you. I am looking forward to this day. I hope you will not let me down."
Cao Jun did not expect things to go so smoothly, and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, I will never let you down. If you can give me the copyright, I will definitely make this movie well."
Although Tong Hua did not directly say that she would sell the film and television adaptation rights of the work to Cao Jun, the meaning behind her words was almost the same.
Cao Jun was not stupid and took advantage of this meeting to discuss the copyright price of "Bu Bu Jing Xin" with her.
After some communication, Cao Jun bought the film and television rights to "Step by Step" from Tong Hua for 600,000 yuan.
The price of film and television copyrights of 600,000 yuan was already considered a sky-high price in the online literature market in 2006.
In 2006, the online novels that were remade into film and television works could really be said to be mediocre.
Most producers or investors don't really believe in the level of online writing. To be on the safe side, most crews like to remake previous classics. Even if it's not a remake, they will find professional screenwriters to create new works.
After buying the film and television rights of the novel "Bu Bu Jingxin", Cao Jun did not rush to prepare the film and television crew of "Bu Bu Jingxin", but took the lead in entering the online literature market.
Cao Jun's idea is very simple. He wants to see if he can find something missing in the online literature market and buy the copyrights of some high-quality and low-priced classic online novels at the lowest possible price.
In Cao Junlai, it doesn’t matter whether some classic online novels are filmed or not. What is important is the copyright, which must be firmly in your hands. In the future, you can film it if you want, and sell it if you don’t want to.
Cao Jun didn't hesitate. The day after he bought the copyright of "Bu Bu Jing Xin", he secretly formed a team - the Banana Project, specifically to acquire the film and television copyright of online novels.
In Cao Jun's impression, there is only one online novel that is most suitable to be adapted into a film and television drama, and that is the world-famous "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"
"Tomb Robbery Notes" by Uncle Nanpai is also good, but compared with "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", it is still a level lower.
Cao Jun took the classic online novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" as the first acquisition project of the "Banana Project".
The main reason why "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is the first acquisition project is because Cao Jun himself likes the classic work "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" very much.
The influence of the classic novel "Ghost Blowing Out the Lamp" is of great importance in the entire Internet literary circle.
Moreover, as a serious reader of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", Cao Jun is also looking forward to putting "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" on the big screen in the future when film technology matures!
