When Fang Jing asked about the status of the new book, Fenghuo's expression was at a loss for words and he shrugged, "That's it, I've been a bit busy at work recently."
Come on, when hearing this tone, a few people will know that they are afraid of getting cold again. What readers fear most is that one day the author will say that he has been a little busy recently.
When I say this, it means that I am not far from the eunuch, and it is always refreshing to keep updating. For more than a week, the author himself does not know the name of the protagonist in his novel, and it is unclear, so naturally he cannot continue writing.
Although it is a bit exaggerated, the truth is roughly this. A book with millions of words will involve thousands of characters and hundreds of plots, large and small. If you didn't write every day, who would remember so much?
"Ahem!" Without mentioning this topic, Fang Jing changed his tone and said with a smile, "I heard from Third Uncle that you have some questions about copyright that you need to ask me?"
"Yeah!" Phalaenopsis nodded, "There is no problem with the price, but what I want to ask is if I sell the copyright to you, will it really be released one day? It's not that I don't believe it. If you ask Fenghuo, he has sold two copies of the copyright.
, it was originally promised that it would be adapted into a TV series, but now it has no impact at all.”
Fenghuo sighed, "Speaking of which, I am one of the first people to sell the copyright. I sold it together with Tang San. Now that all his comics have been published, I don't even have any movies."
Several years have passed, and I don’t know if the company that bought his copyright is still there. I heard that the boss has changed several batches of it, so I guess that copy is gathering dust in that lump.
Fang Jing held out three fingers and said seriously, "Three years, sell it to me. If you don't turn it on within three years, you can get the copyright back unconditionally."
Under the table, Xu Shi kicked Fang Jing and was worried, "Is there anyone who buys the copyright? If you can't shoot it in three years, why don't you just lose it?"
"Are you true to your word?" Phalaenopsis's eyes lit up. He was only promoted to master last year. He had written several game books before, but they had always been tepid and could not compare with the General Manager and the others.
What Fang Jing wants to buy this time is the copyright for the animation "Full-time Master" which he is about to complete, for 1.2 million.
If it can be adapted and released, it will definitely improve the reputation. The online literary world is similar to the entertainment industry. The biggest achievement for actors is to win the Best Actor, but they are adapting it.
"Of course, I have the final say. We can write this clause into the contract. By the way, you own the copyright, right?"
What Fang Jing is afraid of is that the author himself does not own the copyright. If the website does it all, he will definitely have to pay a lot more money, and there are many rules and regulations.
"You can rest assured." Xu Shi said, "Since the adaptation has started to take off in the past two years, these old tricksters are now posting on the site one by one."
"Uncle San is right. The copyright is indeed in my hands. In fact, I was approached by the website to buy the copyright, but I didn't buy it."
"Me too." Fenghuo nodded, "I'm really scared. The website buys too many copyrights in a year, but only a few can be photographed."
"If you can really turn it on within three years, I am willing to sell it to you, but I must agree in advance not to look for those with low traffic, otherwise I will be scolded to death by my book friends."
"My requirements are not as high as those of Fenghuo, as long as you don't do any special effects." Phalaenopsis added.
"No problem, this is nothing."
Fang Jing chuckled and became a powerful swordsman in the snow, a full-time master.
…
An hour later, Xu Shi followed Fang Jing to where he lived. He had drunk a lot just now and was feeling dizzy now.
"Would you like to have a drink?" Fang Jing opened the refrigerator and asked Xu Shi, who was lying on the sofa. "No, give me a cup of coffee."
"There's no coffee, there's tea." Fang Jing shook his head. He couldn't sleep after drinking it for most of the night. He didn't like it.
"Bring it over!"
Fang Jing...
Now Xu Shi is spread out on the sofa, looking very much like a golden actor, Uncle Ge.
"Come on, you are the uncle, you will be fine soon."
Fang Jing was busy, and Xu Shi looked at him like a freak. He drank the most but acted like a normal person.
"Bah, you're the boss. This is what you should do. If you don't turn it on for three years, let them take the copyright back. Why don't you discuss such a big matter with me?"
"Calm down." Fang Jing brought the tea to him.
"Do you think we are short of more than two million?"
"Not bad! The difference is seven to eight million."
Fang Jing...
Xu Shi said seriously, "I have to say that the books you marked are all good, but the corresponding prices are not cheap."
"With so many books, it would cost at least 10 to 20 million to collect them all. I spent all my money on them, and now I am penniless. By the way, I have paid for my air ticket, accommodation and phone bills this time.
I am on a business trip."
"Is it so miserable?" Fang Jing held up his forehead, "Forget the phone bill."
"If you knew I had bought a house now, you wouldn't say that."
Xu Shi took out a document from his bag and said, "My house, car, and restaurant were sold for 8 million. Adding the money invested before, the total is 10 million."
"You can put another seven to eight million in advance, and then the company will split it equally between the two of you."
In order to acquire the copyright, Xu Shi also fought hard and even cut off his last escape route. The restaurant and house were what he planned to provide for his retirement. He didn't even take out the money when the company's investment failed last time.
"Hey! Lao Xu, you are so big and you are not afraid of going to the rooftop? If there is no risk, you should leave it to me alone. I can't harm you."
After thinking for a while, Fang Jing continued, "But since you have sold your house, it doesn't matter if you buy it again now. Is this okay? You can lend me the eight million, and the interest will be calculated according to the bank, so you won't suffer a loss."
"Go away! What you have in mind is quite beautiful." Xu Shi said with a dark face, "I'm telling you, if you can't come up with seven or eight million, I will be your boss from now on."
Fang Jing also poured himself a cup of tea, "I will give you two million now, give it to me for two months, and I will pay you the remaining balance."
"Can!"
"Tsk tsk!" The aroma of tea entered the mouth, bitter at first and then sweet, and flowed down the throat to the heart and lungs. Xu Shi slowly shook his head, "Mao Jian, the tea is good, I will take away two kilograms in a while."
"I don't even have two kilograms here. I gave it to you as a gift. I'll give you half a kilogram. Do you want to pull it down?"
"Half a catty is fine." Xu Shi nodded proudly, "I say Fang Jing, you can do well. It's only been half a year since your debut, right? You're talking about a seven- to eight-million-dollar business. Being a star makes money very quickly. Alas! We,
The miserable people are envious, jealous, and hateful."
"How about you lend me your eight million dollars? I'll pay 20% more interest than the bank."
Fang Jing narrowed his eyes and gave him a strange look, "Old Xu, have you received any news?"
"Nonsense, otherwise I can spend all my money on it?" Xu Shi put down the tea cup and leaned forward, "Recently, many film and television companies are actively acquiring, including your Happy World, Sugar Man, Shengda Film and Television, and Huayi."
"I feel that film and television adaptations will be very popular in the future. It's still early to get a bargaining chip, otherwise there will be no money left if you start too late."
Fang Jing was speechless. Xu Shi has such a bad nose. In two years, the adaptation will not only become popular, it will become a complete mess.
In 18 years, there were more than 20 films released, and 60 or 70 films were not released. The screenwriting industry almost collapsed.
