Ren He left the hotel early in the morning. He was going to treat Zhou Wumeng to dinner today and would meet up with Yang Xi in the evening. After all, he was secretly abducting someone else's daughter. Wouldn't it be a pain in the ass if he was discovered during the day?
This was his first time to come to the Jingdu Newspaper Group. When Ren He was standing downstairs and about to call Zhou Wumeng, he saw a few scattered people standing at the Jingdu Newspaper Group holding banners: Asking Kunlun to change to
Daily serialization.
Hiss, Ren He took a breath of air. How long has it been since someone was so persistent? It's not enough to co-author and serialize it once every two days, but now there are very few people protesting. Maybe these are true fans.
Calculating the time, Kunlun should be serialized in half a month. At that time, the real copyright operation will begin. I wonder what good news Zhou Wumeng will bring to him today?
He hid aside and dialed Zhou Wumeng's phone: "Hey, Mr. Zhou, I'm downstairs. Come out to eat quickly."
Zhou Wumeng was delighted: "It's very positive that you came to treat me to dinner at 9 o'clock in the morning, but is it too early to eat now?"
"It's not early. I'll be fine as soon as I eat the soy milk and fried dough sticks. I still have something to do," Ren He said cheerfully. He knew that Zhou Wumeng wanted to kill him out of spite, so he deliberately made him feel disgusted.
Zhou Wumeng.
"No need to talk," Zhou Wumeng refused mercilessly: "You come up first and talk about it, on the top floor."
Ren He was happy again. He found that Zhou Lao was very easy-going. No matter how much he, a junior, joked, others would not take it seriously. This is the style of a literary leader. Those so-called seniors who care about trivial matters with the younger generation, in fact
A petty person is like a mung bean. That kind of person will only address the other party's official position, and will never respect him.
But Zhou Wumeng was different. He thought that if the other party came to sign the Three-Character Sutra with him in person, he would have to take a high look at him. Moreover, from the submission of the Three-Character Sutra to the final publication, Zhou Wumeng never tried to challenge Ren He.
Was it written by him?
It can be said that what the other party values is the value of the Three Character Classic itself.
Ren He went directly in and pressed the elevator to the top floor. The Kyoto News Group was not an important institution and did not have such a good security system, so the security guards were all uncle-level pensioners. The elevator did not require any access control and no one jumped.
He came out to question what Ren He was doing.
All the way to the top floor, a young editor looked up at Ren He and asked, "Classmate, who are you looking for?"
At this time, Zhou Wumeng pushed open his glass door and waved to Ren He: "Come here quickly."
"Okay!" Ren He walked directly to Zhou Wumeng's office.
The editors in the big office outside were stunned for a moment. Who is this young man from Mr. Zhou? It should not be related to work. After all, he is too young. However, they know that Mr. Zhou never allows his family members to come to the group.
That cute little girl Zhou Muqi came over and was sent out by Mr. Zhou. In Mr. Zhou's words, work is work, life is life, you have to carry it cleanly.
It has to be said that there is a reason why young people in the newspaper group admire Mr. Zhou, because Mr. Zhou’s own attitude towards his career is hard to see in today’s society.
Some teachers dare to take their children to the classroom during class, while the children cry and fuss next to them while they lecture on the podium. Is that ridiculous?
Of course, every family has their own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Maybe they have children and there is no one to take care of them. Sometimes you have to be considerate, but Ren He has seen teachers bringing seven or eight-year-old naughty children into trouble in class.
The naughty kid didn't go to school because he was in a bad mood today and didn't want to go to elementary school, so he followed his mother to the middle school.
Ren He was confused at the time. If he didn't want to go to school, could he not go to school? If you can't teach your own children well, how could you teach others?
As a result, the content of the next half of the class was that the teacher coaxed his children and everyone studied by themselves...
It has to be said that he has complained too many times about the painful phenomena that have grown up in the education system. He was so ignorant at the time. If he ever encounters such a teacher again in his life, he will decisively call the police on the spot...
Precisely because the editors knew Mr. Zhou's personality, they were curious, who is this young man?
Only the middle-aged editor knows Ren He’s identity best. There is only one young man who can come to Mr. Zhou and enter Mr. Zhou’s office, the author of Kunlun and the Three-Character Classic!
But he couldn't say that Mr. Zhou had specifically told him that. But when he actually saw Ren He, he was still surprised. He was too young. Is this really the author of the best-selling novel nowadays? He also read Kunlun.
Was this majestic and soul-stirring novel really written by a teenager?
When he wrote it, he wanted to fight the sword to the end of the world.
But why did this young man come to Kyoto? Isn't he a junior high school student from Luo City?
Ren He entered the office and sat down on the sofa carelessly: "Do you have any good news for me?"
"Someone wants to buy Kunlun's film and television rights alone. The asking price is currently the highest in the industry, 6 million." Zhou Wumeng looked at Ren He and seemed to want to ignore him. But back to business, let's finish the business first before talking about anything else.
.
6 million? Ren He thought for a while, this is indeed not low. In the previous life, even the Eternal Thought of God Ergen was only 10 million. That was only after copyright became popular. How many copyrights can an ordinary traditional author have?
One million is a sky-high price, and tens of millions is a sky-high price.
The price is very conscientious, but Ren He always feels that it is a bit inappropriate. After all, if Kunlun can really become an eternal classic like Mr. Jin's novels, be remade countless times, be broadcast on various TV stations, and then be made into a big movie
, in this case, 6 million is really not much in comparison.
So how to choose? Ren He pondered, and suddenly asked: "Which media company is the other party?"
"It's not a media company, it's a private company owner in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who has a good reputation. He seems to be doing some e-commerce. It's not a company that makes a lot of money. It is said that in order to buy the copyright of Kunlun, he has to sell everything, and the company's cash flow is almost cut off.
Just to fulfill his martial arts dream," Zhou Wumeng said calmly: "He planned to buy it first and then make money to shoot it later. Of course, he also took a fancy to the business opportunities in Kunlun. Before Kunlun, he had a decent book.
There are no martial arts novels. Although they are all for making money, I think Kunlun is sold to this kind of people. At least there is a sentiment there and the filming will not be too bad."
Ren He thinks what Mr. Zhou said makes sense. In fact, people who write seriously will worry about one thing: their works will be badly photographed. This kind of thing simply destroys the character and ruins the author's vision for his works.
.
But the cooperation model still needs to be changed.
