"No, no, no, friends are friends, cooperation is cooperation. If Peng Guoqing wants you to sell the adaptation rights at a discount, he will come to you himself."
Wen Ying chose Peng Guoqing as the scapegoat, and would never allow the blame to slip from Peng Guoqing's body. She described these details so well that Shui Mingyue had no doubt at all.
Jiang Youjia descended from the sky and bought the film and television adaptation rights for Shui Mingyue's 11 novels. Although Shui Mingyue had signed the contract, she felt that this was not real.
After hearing Wen Ying's analysis, Shui Mingyue felt relieved - with Peng Guoqing's recommendation, Jiang Youjia came to buy the adaptation rights. This is why everything happened for a reason!
Shui Mingyue said that she wanted to thank Peng Guoqing, and Wen Ying did not feel guilty at all: "Just treat him to a meal. If he can buy your copyright, he has a good vision. In the future, if your book is adapted and becomes a hit, Peng Guoqing will make a lot of money as a shareholder of Jiaxin
Big."
Shui Mingyue was amused by Wen Ying, "What you said is too exaggerated. If the adaptation is successful, it won't be due to me alone."
The goodness of the original story is only the most basic factor in the adaptation. There are too many people's efforts in the process of adapting the novel to film and television, and errors in any link may lead to the failure of the adaptation.
Shui Mingyue still insisted on treating Peng Guoqing to dinner and had to thank Peng Guoqing in person for his recommendation. In order to accommodate Wen Ying, Peng Guoqing and others, Shui Mingyue set the treat time for Saturday.
"Okay, anyway, you just sold the copyright and you don't need enough money for a meal. Speaking of which, how are you going to spend such a large amount of money after you get it, and buy a shop? If you're not afraid of thieves, you'd better be worried about them as soon as possible.
Find a place for it."
Wen Ying calmly brought the topic to the copyright transfer fee.
Wen Ying was not at the signing ceremony and pretended not to know the specific amount, so she referred to it as "a large amount of money".
Shui Mingyue hummed softly: "You can buy a shop or a house. I know what you are worried about. Mu Fan also reminded me after signing the contract. People like us don't do business. Others know that we have such a thing in our hands.
The extra cash will figure it out.”
Shui Mingyue is quite experienced in this kind of thing.
When Shui Mingyue made money from publishing her first novel, her family couldn't help but mention it when a group of relatives got together. As soon as the party ended, someone started asking to borrow money.
It's okay to borrow tens of millions, but as soon as you ask, you have to borrow 200,000.
You must know that Shui Mingyue's first book was printed for 100,000 copies and priced at 25 yuan per copy. At that time, she was not the little romance queen she is now, and the royalties given by the publisher were 10%... In other words, Shui Mingyue got it
The royalties are almost 200,000.
The 200,000 yuan in 2002 had such amazing purchasing power that relatives actually asked to borrow it all.
Shui Mingyue's whole family couldn't figure it out, so they asked their relatives what they wanted to do with borrowing so much money. The relatives said that Shui Mingyue had nowhere to spend the money, so it was better to lend it to him for business.
Shui Mingyue and his family certainly don't want to.
Shui Mingyue earns the money whether he spends it or not, why can't he hold it in his hand?
Even after refusing several times, relatives refused to give up and insisted on borrowing 200,000 yuan. When Shui Mingyue disagreed, they even used the pretense of being an elder to kidnap him morally.
Shui Mingyue has a gentle personality, and her family is not good at quarreling. She can hardly resist the pressure of borrowing money from relatives. When Shui Mingyue's mother went shopping, she saw that the city was building a shopping mall.
There were shops for rent or sale in shopping malls. After asking about the situation, my mother went home and asked Shui Mingyue if she wanted to buy a shop.
I enjoy hearing the cherry blossoms with gusto.
"Is this how you started buying a shop?"
"Yes, that's how I started to buy a store. As you know, the market response after the publication of the first book was good, and the publisher quickly helped me plan to publish the second one. The better the book sells, the more royalties there will be. So
With more money in hand, more people are thinking about borrowing money from me..."
When the first book was published, only relatives knew about it. Shui Mingyue published more and more books and became more and more famous. Naturally, more and more people knew that she made money by writing novels.
Some want to borrow money, some want to get Shui Mingyue to buy shares, and all kinds of messy business projects sound unreliable to a layman like Shui Mingyue.
Too many people wanted to help Shui Mingyue plan how to spend money, which made Shui Mingyue and his family very annoyed.
Just buy a shop as soon as you have money.
Not only can the shop collect rent, but it is also a fixed asset that cannot be sold easily. If someone wants to borrow money, Shui Mingyue and his family will have an excuse to refuse.
——We can’t let our family sell our shop to do business for you, right?
If someone is really so thick-skinned, Shui Mingyue's parents don't have to show any favor to each other.
Of course, Shui Mingyue and her family are not completely unkind. She has earned so much money, and when people around her really need help, Shui Mingyue will lend a helping hand.
Wen Ying thought to herself: "I'm quite lucky. I haven't met anyone like this who wants to borrow money."
"impossible."
Shui Mingyue rarely retorted to Wen Ying, "I believe that people are similar to each other. If someone borrows money from me, there must be someone who wants to borrow money from you, especially since you are so famous! If you said no, I guess it was your parents who
The person who borrowed the money stopped him and didn't make trouble in front of you."
When Wen Ying thought about it, it was true.
Lao Wen has lost his "family throne" for a long time. How can a middle-aged man who even hands over his salary to his wife dare to agree to lend money to others?
Not to mention Chen Ru, who has a tough personality. If Wen Dongrong's friends dare to ask for a loan, Chen Ru will refuse without mercy.
The most unreliable of the relatives is her aunt Wen Hongyan’s family. What a coincidence, Wen Ying broke off contact with this family just when she was making money from writing novels!
Wen Ying noticed that her thinking was showing signs of divergence, and quickly returned to the topic: "You are experienced and don't need me to advise you. There is still room for appreciation in real estate in Magic City. Mu Fan and I both bought a house in Magic City. You want to
Don’t you think about it? Let’s do this. I have a real estate agent I know in Shanghai. I will give you her contact information. You contact her first and ask her to recommend a house to you. Wait until you get the payment from Jiaxin.
You can start immediately."
"So urgent?"
Shui Mingyue was a little surprised.
Wen Ying smiled and said, "It's mainly to guard against your relatives and friends. You sold the rights to adapt 11 books in one go. If they knew about it, they would probably want to eat you alive right away!"
Wen Ying's description was so vivid that Shui Mingyue couldn't help but tremble when thinking of the scene.
16 million is really a lot of money.
"You're right, that's really terrible."
Shui Mingyue shuddered.
Wen Ying gave Shui Mingyue the contact information of real estate agent Yao Xiaojia.
Afraid that Shui Mingyue would not be active in buying a house, she also gave Shui Mingyue's contact information to Yao Xiaojia.
Wen Ying went to Yao Xiaojia when she helped Xie Qian buy a house. Dong Runfang also went to Yao Xiaojia to buy a house for her son Wang Shuang. Later, when Chen Ru bought two houses in Shanghai, she still went to Yao Xiaojia.
Occupations such as intermediaries and sales all have one thing in common. It is difficult for newbies to open orders. Once they successfully open orders, they will have the confidence to continue in this industry.
When Yao Xiaojia worked as a real estate agent, Wen Ying helped open the first deal.
Yao Xiaojia always felt that Wen Ying was her noble person.
Facts have proved that Yao Xiaojia's feeling was correct, Wen Ying did bring a steady stream of customers to Yao Xiaojia.
Wen Ying directly told Yao Xiaojia that Shui Mingyue was a large customer holding currency to buy, and hoped that Yao Xiaojia would be more active.
"There are so many agents in Shanghai. I recommend you to her. For my sake, she will choose you first. But if she fails to buy a suitable property, she will definitely choose another agent."
"I know, thank you!"
Yao Xiaojia couldn't wait to put Wen Ying on the altar table to worship her. The God of Wealth personally came down to earth to give instructions. Wouldn't Yao Xiaojia not listen?
Shui Mingyue went to Jiaxin to sign the contract. It was already quite late after the contract was completed, and Jiang Youjia arranged another business banquet.
After dinner, Jiang Youjia said it was too late and asked someone to book a hotel for Shui Mingyue.
Just after checking into the hotel, Wen Ying called.
I chatted with Wen Ying for half an hour, and a few minutes after hanging up the phone, Yao Xiaojia called again.
Yao Xiaojia introduced herself, made sure not to disturb Shui Mingyue's rest, and then gave Shui Mingyue a detailed explanation of the current housing market situation in Magic City.
That night, Shui Mingyue didn't have time to contact Luo Hao.
The next day, Jiang Youjia personally sent Shui Mingyue back to the crew, and Luo Hao was already looking forward to it.
After Jiang Youjia left, Luo Hao was concerned about Shui Mingyue: "I heard that these film and television companies are nice to talk to and harsh on people. Does Mr. Jiang have other motives for being so enthusiastic? I was worried all night last night and thought about it several times.
I called you, but I felt that I had no position to interfere with your decision."
"Mr. Jiang is very kind. I have sold the adaptation rights."
Shui Mingyue wanted to tell Luo Hao the news yesterday. Firstly, she was very busy after signing the contract, and secondly, she felt it was more meaningful to tell Luo Hao in person.
"Jiaxin is a powerful company. Mr. Jiang is very sincere. I feel relieved to sell the adaptation rights to Jiaxin. When Jiaxin starts to adapt, I will recommend you to play the leading role in that drama."
Shui Mingyue's ears were burning when she said this. She lowered her head and did not dare to meet Luo Hao's eyes, missing Luo Hao's surprised look.
"Already sold?"
Luo Hao had never heard of this kind of signing speed.
Shui Mingyue nodded, "Yes, I sold a total of 11 books, including my new book that will be released soon."
