Entertainment: Defamation, I definitely don’t have any hidden rules

“Three-Body!”

Cao An’s tone rose three points when he heard the name.

In his memory, this is an IP worth hundreds of millions of yuan, which can at least create tens of billions of commercial results in the hands of the right person.

But the final selling price was only 100,000 yuan, and Cao An was shocked when he heard the news.

Unexpectedly, he encountered this opportunity in this world.

He immediately searched for information about “Three-Body” in this world on the Internet.

“Three-Body” has been serialized in the science fiction world, but it is not well-known and not many people know about it.

It has not won the Hugo Award abroad.

“Xiaoling, take the author to rest for a while, I will come soon.”

Xiaoling heard Cao An’s instructions, her eyes rolled, and she immediately understood Cao An’s idea.

Immediately led Liu Cixing, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, to the company’s visitor lounge to rest.

“You take a rest first, our President Cao will be here soon.”

Xiaoling handed Liu a cup of tea and said.

“Oh, OK, thank you.”

Liu Cixing was very surprised. He had already prepared himself to be rejected by Fanxing.

His best plan was to meet an ordinary staff member of Fanxing, and then Fanxing would spend some money to buy the copyright of “The Three-Body Problem” in his hands.

Unexpectedly, Fanxing’s boss, the legendary director Cao An, would come to see him in person.

…

Cao An hung up Xiaoling’s phone and immediately changed his clothes and drove to the company.

Entering the visitor lounge, he met the person who came to sell novels.

Slightly sparse short hair, black-framed glasses, and an ordinary gray T-shirt, it was similar to Cao An’s impression of Liu.

“Hello!”

When Liu was sitting on the sofa in deep thought, a young, handsome and sunny boy smiled and greeted him.

He was still depressed at first about who this young man was, and then he realized instantly that Fanxing’s boss, Cao An, the director of “The Wandering Earth”, was a handsome young man.

He quickly stood up and shook hands with Cao An.

“Hello.”

“Sorry for the long wait. Let’s talk somewhere else.”

When they arrived at the Fanxing meeting room, Xiaoling had already prepared new tea for the two of them. Fang Haoli came over soon.

She was very curious about what kind of novel could make her boss leave it at home and run to the company to meet the author.

Soon, even Guo Fan and Liu Yifei, who were preparing “Armor Hero” at the company, came over.

They all wanted to see what kind of god was able to attract such attention from their boss.

“Don’t panic. Did you bring Mr. Liu’s novel?”

Although it was confirmed that the Three Body was the Three Body, Cao An still had to confirm it.

Liu Cixing quickly took out three physical books of “The Three Body” from his bag and handed them to Cao An.

The latter took it and began to flip through it quickly. Guo Fan and Fang Haoli also took a copy to check.

Before Cao An made any move, Guo Fan got excited first.

“Three-Body, it’s actually Three-Body!”

Fang Haoli frowned in confusion, Guo Fan quickly explained: “I like to read science fiction novels very much. I’ve been following this “Three-Body” recently. I wanted to find the boss to buy its copyright, but I didn’t expect the author to find us first.”

Cao An also took a quick look and confirmed that this was the “Three-Body” in his memory. He smiled and said to Liu Cixing:

“Teacher Liu, we are very satisfied with your novel. I wonder how much you want to sell it for?”

Seeing that it was sold so easily, Liu Cixing was still a little confused.

Tentatively raised a finger and said: “How about 100,000?”

Hearing this price, Cao An laughed, “100,000 you look down on your novel too much, and also look down on Fanxing.”

“How about this, I’ll give you two zeros, 10 million, to buy all the commercial copyrights of “Three-Body” and other novels under your name for 20 years. After the expiration, Fanxing has the right to extend the contract.”

Hearing the price Cao An said, Liu Cixing stood up from his chair in shock.

With eyes wide open, he asked, “Isn’t this too much?”

“No, you deserve it.”

Cao An asked Liu Cixing to sit down and asked Xiaoling to prepare the contract.

In Cao An’s opinion, it was definitely him and Fanxing who made money by buying such an excellent IP as “The Three-Body Problem” with 10 million.

Moreover, Cao An originally liked the author Liu Cixin very much, so giving a relatively reasonable price would be good for everyone.

After a while, Xiaoling came back with the contract. Cao An took a quick look and handed it to Liu Cixing after finding no mistakes.

“Teacher Liu, take a look. If there is no problem, you can sign it. After signing, Fanxing can transfer the money to you.”

Although he was very excited, Liu Cixing was not stupid. He took the contract and read it carefully.

The content was similar to what Cao An had just said.Fanxing offered 10 million to buy the 20-year commercial copyright of all his novels, the most important of which is naturally “The Three-Body Problem”.

Fanxing’s right to renew the contract means that after the 20-year period expires, Fanxing can choose to pay another 10 million to extend the contract for another 20 years.

As long as Fanxing is willing, the contract can be renewed.

If so, Liu Cixing can get 10 million in copyright fees every 20 years.

On average, he has an income of 40,000 per month, which directly achieves financial freedom.

He is just an ordinary hydropower station employee, with a monthly income of only a few thousand yuan. Although he has no worries about food and drink, he can’t give his family a better life.

But now he doesn’t have to worry about it. As long as he signs this agreement, he can get 10 million.

He took a few deep breaths, calmed down his mood a little, and signed his name on the contract while saying thank you to Cao An.

Cao An also signed his name on the contract on his side, and then the two exchanged.

“Teacher Liu, happy cooperation!”

“Happy cooperation, thank you so much.”

After Cao An put away the contract, he said to Xiaoling: “Take Teacher Liu to handle the next procedures and transfer the copyright purchase fee to Teacher Liu’s card as soon as possible.”

“Okay, Teacher Liu, come this way.”

After the two left, Fang Haoli and Liu Yifei immediately surrounded Cao An and asked him why he spent 10 million to buy the copyright of a novel.

Cao An just smiled slightly, “Wait, it won’t be long before you understand how wise my decision is.”

Seeing that Cao An was unwilling to say more, he didn’t force it. Anyway, 10 million is not worth mentioning to Fanxing now.

Fang Haoli even directly regarded the 10 million as Cao An’s casual squandering in her heart.

Only Guo Fan, who was sitting next to him, understood how wise Cao An’s move was. He liked this novel too much.

When the copyright fee was transferred to Liu Cixing’s card, the contract signed by both parties officially took effect, and the copyright of “Three Body” officially belonged to Fanxing.

At this time, the system in Cao An’s mind sent a reminder.

[It is detected that the host has obtained the film and television adaptation rights of the science fiction novel “The Three-Body Problem”. Do you want to spend the points to exchange for all the filming knowledge of “The Three-Body Problem”? ]

Hearing this reminder, Cao An was delighted. There was actually this function.

He immediately chose to exchange, but was reminded by the system that the points were insufficient.

He had already used up all the points he had accumulated before. Fortunately, this function was a permanent function.

As long as the film and television adaptation rights of “The Three-Body Problem” were in Cao An’s hands, he could exchange them at any time.

So he could only wait for “The Wandering Earth” to be released.

At this time, “The Wandering Earth” had been released for 15 days, and the box office had successfully exceeded 4 billion.
