Braised bream, steamed pork, stir-fried green vegetables, cold cucumber, and pork liver soup.
Sun Quan ate very well with the white rice. In fact, he had been hungry for a long time. He had not gone downstairs to eat before. The main reason was that he was thinking about what was going to be put on the shelves at noon today and was not in the mood.
At this time, his wife personally brought him food. He was in a good mood and his appetite naturally increased.
"How much time is left?"
Yuan Shuiqing sat opposite him and asked casually while watching him eat.
Her question was a bit confusing, but after living together for a long time, a couple will always form a tacit understanding (except for couples who don't have a good relationship).
Sun Quan glanced at the time on the computer, and with his mouth full of food, he vaguely replied, "There are still twenty minutes! It's almost there."
Yuan Shuiqing hummed, smiled slightly, and asked again, "Is the meal enough?"
Sun Quan: "Yeah, that's enough!"
"Last time I heard that the studio's funds were tight. Recently, the company's finances have become more relaxed. Do you need me to ask the finance department to transfer some funds?"
Sun Quan shook his head, "No! Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you. Pioneer Publishing House and Yangtze River Baihua Publishing House have called me for the manuscript fees. I have your bank card. Give it to me when you are free.
Just transfer it to the studio's account, wait until next month, plus the royalties here, you don't have to worry about the studio's funds!"
After saying a few more words in one breath, Sun Quan lowered his head and continued to eat.
Maybe he ate too fast, or maybe today's rice was a bit hard, but anyway, he suddenly choked, stretched his neck, and his eyes were a little straight.
Yuan Shuiqing saw him and gave him an annoyed look. He quickly stood up and walked around the desk. He quickly reached out and patted his back. While patting him, he reminded him, "Drink some soup quickly! Drink some soup quickly!"
Sun Quan woke up from his dream and quickly took two sips of the soup before swallowing the food in his throat and taking a deep breath.
"Snapped!"
"You! No one is trying to rob you. You're so hungry. Why didn't you go downstairs to eat before? I'll choke you to death!"
Seeing that he had regained his breath, Yuan Shuiqing slapped him on the back and scolded him angrily.
Sun Quan chuckled and didn't say anything back.
He also joked with a smile, "I have a bad stomach, so I can only eat soft rice! Don't you know? Today's rice is a bit hard."
Yuan Shuiqing sat back across from the desk. Hearing this, he glanced at him, but he couldn't help but smile.
The couple's daily life is always so warm. By the time Sun Quan finished lunch, the time had already reached 11:53
He glanced at the time on the computer and remained calm. He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for himself and Yuan Shuiqing. He stood up with a smile and put the teacup in front of Yuan Shuiqing with both hands. "Madam, please use the tea!"
Yuan Shuiqing rolled his eyes at him, "Isn't the time almost up?"
Sun Quan sat back down and said, "Well, it's almost over, don't be in a hurry! Even if it's 12 o'clock, it will take a few minutes for the editor to give me permission, don't be in a hurry!"
Therefore, Yuan Shuiqing stopped urging him.
12:06.
Sun Quan's online QQ beeped.
"Is it open?" Yuan Shuiqing asked.
Sun Quan glanced at the flashing QQ profile picture and shook his head, "It's an administrator in my group."
With that said, he clicked on the chat box, and the private message was sent by the handsome Wen Hao.
——"Old Sun, it's already past 12 o'clock, why haven't you seen it on the shelves yet? Did you forget?"
Sun Quan chuckled and replied, "I'm waiting for the editor to give me permission. Wait a moment, don't worry!"
So handsome Wen Hao: "Oh, that's right, okay. Many people in the group were asking you why your new book hasn't been released yet. Let me ask you on their behalf."
Salted Fish My Old Sun: "Well, don't worry!"
He had just finished replying when the beeping sound sounded again. This time it was a private message from Dayu, and Sun Quan opened it casually.
Dayu: "How about we take a gamble?"
Sun Quan frowned slightly, and it was a bit funny. Is Dayu addicted to gambling or something? He just wants to gamble when he gets the chance?
Salted Fish My Old Sun "How to bet? What to bet on?"
Yuan Shuiqing saw that his QQ was always ringing and he had no time to talk to her. She frowned and hesitated slightly, then got up and walked over, stood behind Sun Quan, and asked softly, "Who is it? Dayu?"
Sun Quan: "Well, this guy wants to gamble again."
Yuan Shuiqing smiled, "He bet with you. He has lost several bets with others. Why is he still betting?"
Sun Quan laughed, "Yeah! I'm quite addicted to gambling."
"Didi"
While talking, Dayu's reply came, "I'll bet on your 24-hour first order this time! Each of us will say a number, and when the first order results come out, we will see who's number is closest to the actual first order data.
, the one who is closest wins! How about it? Are you interested?"
Don't tell me, when he said this, Sun Quan was really interested.
This is a unique bet!
Salted Fish My Old Sun "Where's the bet?"
Dayu: "I heard that you set up a studio this year and are buying film and television adaptation rights from others?"
Sun Quan blinked and typed with a smile, "What? Do you have any ideas?"
Dayu: "Simple! If I win, you will also buy the film and television adaptation rights of my book. Well, the price does not have to be too high, but it cannot be too low. Is it a win?"
Sun Quan laughed, turned around and looked at Yuan Shuiqing behind him, and asked her, "Daughter-in-law, do you want to bet?"
Yuan Shuiqing was funny, "You ask me? You make the decision yourself! I have no objection."
Sun Quan hummed, looked away, and replied to Dayu, "My wife said I have no objection, but what if I win?"
Dayu "???"
After a while, Dayu said, "What do you mean? Why does this have to do with your wife? Does your wife have no objection? Or do you have no objection? Make it clear!"
Salted Fish An Laosun "My wife's opinion is my opinion, isn't it clear enough?"
Dayu "..."
Yuan Shuiqing reached out and pinched his face, and said with a smile, "You! You are so dishonest that you don't even consider your friend's feelings."
Sun Quan: "Hey, what's there to think about? I have a beautiful daughter-in-law like you, can't you understand that I'm showing off? I think he should be able to understand."
Yuan Shuiqing pinched his face again and was too lazy to answer his words.
Dayu: "So, you made a bet? I bet you will place an initial order of 12,000. You can also tell me the number!"
Salted Fish An Laosun: "Haha, you haven't said yet what the bet will be if I win?"
Dayu: "Uh, didn't I say that? It's simple! If you win, the film and television adaptation rights of my book will be given to you at a bargain price. You can pay as much as you want for the copyright fee. I don't have any objections. How about it? No
Have you said it?"
Sun Quan was a little surprised.
He smiled and replied, "Okay! That's it, you bet 12,000, right? Then I'll bet 11,000!"
He had just finished replying to Dayu when Yuan Shuiqing behind him suddenly asked, "Husband, you have such a good relationship with Dayu. The book he is writing seems to be ranked quite high on the monthly ticket list, right? Why didn't you think about it before?
Did you buy the rights to adapt his book? Did you forget or did you?"
Sun Quan looked back at her with a helpless expression.
He sighed softly and said, "You still don't know enough about our industry! Do you know how many heroines there are in his books?"
Yuan Shuiqing was curious, "A lot?"
Sun Quan smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes! There are many. And are our domestic TV series with so many female protagonists popular? In addition to "The Deer and the Cauldron", "The Legend of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon" and "The Story of Qin", how many can you think of at one time? And
Of those movies I just mentioned, which one is not the work of a master? Generally speaking, if there are too many heroines in works written by authors, do you think film and television companies will be willing to invest in filming? Those actresses in the entertainment industry who are somewhat famous are also
How many people are willing to play one of the heroines in a TV series adapted from an Internet harem novel?"
Internet harem novel...
Yuan Shuiqing was stunned for a moment when he heard this term before he roughly guessed what it meant.
In her understanding of online novels, there are many types of online novels, such as fantasy, fantasy, urban, fairy tales, martial arts, etc.
She may not yet know that there is a simple and crude classification of all online articles in the author circle.
This classification is relatively simple and clear, with only three types - single female protagonist novels, harem novels, and monk novels without a female protagonist.
Single heroine novels are easy to understand. As the name suggests, there is only one heroine in the entire book.
Harem novels are works with multiple female protagonists.
As for the monk novels without a female protagonist...there are very few these days. Everything about the male protagonist is normal. The only abnormal thing is that he is not interested in women. The most striking feature of this type of works is that from the beginning to the end of the book, everything is normal.
In the end, the male protagonist has always been alone, blaming the sky and the ground. Occasionally, there are teammates, no matter male or female, they are just his teammates. He will never be tempted by a certain woman, and even if he is, he will take the initiative to show her to her.
A woman's love is extinguished as her own inner demon.
"Oh, so that's the reason..."
Yuan Shuiqing understood a little bit, and at the same time it was a little funny.
What she didn't know was that Mr. Sun didn't tell her the truth this time.
This scumbag cheated on her!
The reason why he didn't try to buy Dayu's "Legend of the Household" before was not the reason he just mentioned.
The real reason is - in his memory before his rebirth, after Dayu's "Legend of the Household" was adapted into a TV series, the response was... well, there was no response.
Anyway, he had only heard that the book had been adapted into a TV series, but he had never heard anyone say that the TV series was good.
Out of curiosity, he took a look at the names of the director and the leading actors and actresses of the show, and found that except for the one who played the male lead, who was somewhat famous, the rest, from the director to several female leads, were all unfamiliar to him.
’s name.
His mood at that time was really hard to describe.
He felt that if a group of well-known actors had been cast in that drama, the popularity might not be so low, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that a well-known actress would not star in such a TV drama adapted from a harem-oriented web novel.
Some time ago, when he asked Fu Lei to buy the film and television adaptation rights of some works, he didn't expect Dayu's "Legend of the Household".
Just talking about the popularity and reputation of this book, "Legend of the Housekeeper" is definitely a rare classic.
However, he has no confidence in making it into a high-quality TV series.
This is the real reason why he didn't fight for the film and television adaptation rights of this book.
Dayu was a close friend in the industry, and Sun Quan thought that since he was not sure that he could adapt this book better, let him forget it! After a few years, Dayu obtained the film and television adaptation rights of this book.
If you sell it to other companies, you can also get more royalties.
He did not expect that Dayu would take the initiative to sell him the film and television adaptation rights of this book today.
Due to their friendship, Sun couldn't find any reason to refuse, so he could only accept Dayu's bet.
