Happy Life [Rebirth]
Chapter 140
The next day, Gu Tingsheng went to the airport to pick up KK, and I stayed at home. There was still a follow-up to the novel about cultivating immortality that was posted on the website.The editor contacted me with a film and television company to buy film and television copyrights. I had no class today and wanted to go to the airport to pick up someone with Gu Tingsheng, but the editor was very anxious and called me directly to discuss in detail.
We chatted all morning, and the website asked for a [-]-[-] split. I felt a little cheated, and what was even more cheating was that Li Yuan, who had never knocked on me since the summer vacation of the third year of junior high school, also knocked on me.
At that time, the two windows were open, and the website editor Kimchi said: "Luzhu, it's not easy for this book to be released for film and television copyright. The editor-in-chief and I have spent a lot of effort. They originally wanted female videos, so we pushed you hard to get this book." push out.
Li Yuan sent a shake window, and the dialog box popped up with a swipe.
Li Yuan (coco): Yang Lu, you are Luzhu, right? You wrote "The Great Way of Immortals", right? The website bundles another book called "Genius Little Fairy" for sale, threatening that we will not buy your book. If you don't sell it, can you terminate the contract with this website?Pit father ah! [knife] [knife] [knife]
I looked at Li Yuan's window, and Kimchi was also saying: But because your book was finished early, even though it was popular back then, even if you can sell the copyright, it can't be sold for much. We help you raise the price by 40 , Now the bargaining price is [-]. According to the contract, we will help you promote the film and television copyright, and the author and the website will get fifty-five points.
Li Yuan (coco): We valued at 80 yuan to buy the copyright of this novel. After all, you actually sold well. The box office of "To Angel" was also good. The website halved the price and asked to bundle "Little Genius" (price 100 million) for sale together.
Li Yuan (coco): Did you know that you were cheated!
Kimchi: Do you have any comments? If you have any comments, you can tell us, but it’s really not easy to promote your book. Unlike the fairy tale novel that is being serialized on the female channel, it is very popular and easier to sell.
Li Yuan (coco): Who would buy that little fairy book?Plagiarism is involved, and more than 300 million words are too much to be filmed. It has no film and television value at all!
I replied Li Yuan: Wait a minute.
Then I thought about it, and thought that I had seen this set a lot in the business world in my previous life, but I never thought that I would encounter it when writing a novel.I took a screenshot of what Li Yuan said, and went to look for the contract I signed that year. I dug out the contract and read it all morning, and went to the author forum, only to realize that all the contracts after Vertex Novels were acquired were permanent copyrights. Like the contract two years ago, only a single copy of the five-year copyright was signed.
I looked at the signing time on my contract, and calculated that the copyright expiration date is February [-] next year, so I knocked Li Yuan.
Yang Lu: The copyright expires on February [-] next year and will return to me. Will you still buy it next year?
Then I went to knock on kimchi again. I thought that no matter whether Li Yuan’s company still bought it or not, I would not sell the copyright through Vertex Novels.
I also understand the reason why they do this. The novel that is bundled and sold together must be signed with a permanent copyright. Not for charity.
Just like Li Yuan said these things to me because they were unwilling to buy another novel. If Vertex didn’t bundle another book and sold Li Yuan directly at a lower price, it would definitely not hit me.
But still a little depressed, I sent a long message to Kimchi:
Editor Kimchi, I checked the TVs produced by this company, and they are all Lei dramas. As an author, my novels are like my children. How could I be willing to exchange my children for money?I'd rather not have the money than sell my kids to this company, I don't write novels for the money, so I wouldn't sell my kids for any money.
Then I gave Li Yuan a screenshot of this passage.
Li Yuan replied quickly: You are awesome! [thumbs up]
Li Yuan (coco): You can buy it after the copyright returns to you in February next year. We don’t shoot immediately after we buy it. It takes a year or two for the project to be established and the script to be approved. There is no rush, but you need to contact us first. Sign a letter of intent to ensure our company has the right of first refusal.
Kimchi also replied at this time, and he sent a sentence: ... What do you mean?
Then he immediately followed up: You are not selling?
I replied to Li Yuan: OK, please send the contract.
I replied to Kimchi again: I will not sell the copyright of this book to any company, no matter how much money.
Kimchi: Think again!Don’t jump to conclusions, just wait, I’ll talk to the editor-in-chief, and you should think about it yourself, this is money!
I didn't reply to Kimchi again, but Li Yuan sent me a file, I stayed at home and read the file all morning, then Gu Tingsheng called at noon, KK's flight was delayed, he asked me to order takeaway to eat by myself.
I ordered takeaway on the sofa, and I was still quite depressed. If I hadn’t known Li Yuan before, if Li Yuan hadn’t happened to be an employee of the film and television company who bought this novel, I guess I would only have been cheated, and I still had to have a heart. Thank you very much for the website.
But it’s a coincidence in life. If I hadn’t written it early, the website’s contract at that time would have been fair. If I hadn’t joined the crew and met Li Yuan in the third year of junior high school, or the earliest said, if I hadn’t chosen to write novels to make money , the lack of any link in the middle will not constitute today's matter.
How many years have I lived, so many things and experiences looking back, it turns out that they are all coincidences, one after another that constitute my life.
When someone knocked on the door, it was less than 10 minutes after I ordered takeaway. I opened the door in my slippers, thinking how fast the takeaway was, but when I opened the door, I saw Zhang Yueyang standing at the door.
He lowered his head and held the phone and pressed it, looked up at me and walked in the door. Fat Cat's five kittens ran away, and the five tuanzi ran out and screamed around Zhang Yueyang.
Zhang Yueyang entered the door, walked on tiptoes, and howled to me: "Why are there so many cats? Hurry up and take them away, I'm already stepping on them!"
"Why are you here?" I closed the door, and Zhang Yueyang had already sat down on the sofa. He spread out on the sofa, looked around, and looked in the direction of the kitchen. Zhang Yueyang asked me, "Where's Brother Gu? What should this point be?" Have you cooked yet?"
"Are you here for dinner?"
I sat next to Zhang Yueyang, and picked up two cats casually. Zhang Yueyang took one and hugged it in his arms. He said, "No, Yang Lu, I'm here to find you. Brother Yang, please ask me if I have something to do."
"Su Fan in your dormitory is attending a party at a villa on the Fourth Ring Road tonight. Did he invite you?" Zhang Yueyang asked me.
"Please, but I declined." I replied Zhang Yueyang, wondering why he asked this.
"That..." Zhang Yueyang looked at me with a look of hesitation, I thought it was amazing, Zhang Yueyang still had a thin skin one day.
Zhang Yueyang said: "You tell Su Fan that you're going tonight, and then take me there too?"
"Brother Yang, thank you!" Zhang Yueyang added, and he put his palms together sincerely and bowed to me.
I looked at Zhang Yueyang, my mind was confused, I didn't agree to him easily, I said to Zhang Yueyang: "Brother Yang, can you tell me why?"
Zhang Yueyang had a constipated expression on his face, I thought about it and asked him: "Is it related to Xiang Linlin?"
Zhang Yueyang's expression changed in an instant. I think this is because Su Fan made an appointment with Linlin successfully. I was surprised that Su Fan succeeded in making an appointment with Linlin, because like Zheng Yize said, things like liking and affection can be seen. Linlin didn't like Su Fan at first sight.
Zhang Yueyang said: "It's just a party... I invited Zhang Xiang, and it's not that great. She likes Zhang Xiang and I can help her get an autograph, and I can do it when I meet a real person..."
Zhang Yueyang looked at me very sadly and angrily while talking: "Tell me, why does she go to that kind of party with a girl, and she is with a boy she doesn't know, this-this is simply unreasonable!"
I looked at Zhang Yueyang: "..." I really don't know what to say.
"But I don't want to go." When I lowered my head to send Su Fan a WeChat message, I was a little embarrassed, but I still wanted to help Zhang Yueyang.
Su Fan didn't reply immediately when I sent the WeChat message, but Gu Tingsheng's call came in again. He told me that he had received KK and that KK would take him to a party to meet some people after five o'clock, so he might be late at night. Let me go to bed early and not wait for him.
I told Gu Tingsheng about Zhang Yueyang, Gu Tingsheng listened to it, and simply asked me to go with Zhang Yueyang, I handed the phone to Zhang Yueyang, and the two of them chatted for a long time, I almost died of embarrassment listening to it, Gu Tingsheng is teaching Zhang Yueyang his love experience.
After two o'clock, Su Fan replied to the message. His tone was very gentle, and he asked if he would pick me up and go with me. By the way, he asked me if I had a formal suit. If possible, it would be best to wear a three-piece suit.
I thought to myself, is this a party? It's a bit formal.Zhang Yueyang leaned his head together to listen to the voice, and he said to me: "I want the address, let's drive there by ourselves!"
I replied to Su Fan. Su Fan said that you have a car and sent the address. I don't know what he was thinking. He also said that if you can't get a taxi there, it's best not to take a taxi.
I'm not stupid, I don't think it's a question of whether to take a taxi, but the price of taxis has dropped in the past, which is the meaning of what he said.
After three o'clock, Zhang Yueyang started calling. I don't know who he was calling. I heard it should be his father's assistant. Zhang Yueyang asked for a car again.
He said: "Get out of that lotus, I want to use... what, my mother drove away?"
"Where's the Mercedes? ... What? My cousin drove away? What about her own car? How did it fall into the river? Is she an idiot!"
Zhang Yueyang's tone was very explosive. I tugged at his arm and showed Zhang Yueyang the car keys from under the coffee table. Zhang Yueyang took a look, turned his head, and then looked back quickly. His eyes widened: "Ferrari ? Yours? Brother Gu's?"
"It's from Gu Tingsheng." I replied to Zhang Yueyang. Yuan Mengyu came over yesterday and brought the car over. It was her assistant who went upstairs and knocked on the door to deliver the car. Gu Tingsheng said that he would not accept it for nothing, and that he would spend money to buy the car after saving money. .
"Lying grass!" Zhang Yueyang was about to jump up. With a surprised look like seeing me for the first time, Zhang Yueyang said, "Yang Lu, you are also married into a wealthy family!"
I kind of have the urge to throw the car keys in his face...
But soon Zhang Yueyang said excitedly: "Ferrari is good, Ferrari is so dazzling! Let's go, let's play!"
The author has something to say: Babies of the college entrance examination, come on~(≧▽≦)/~
I was sorting out the "threads" of the last volume yesterday, Li Yuan, He Mingjie, Yuan Mengyu, Gu Xingsong, Zhao Yingying (the girl who killed Yang Lu), and Zhang Yueyang and Xiang Linlin's CP, sorting out how to string them together At the same time, I will work hard to update it daily. Basically, there should be 5 to 7 words to complete the main text, plus extra episodes, and the full text is expected to be completed by the end of the month.
We chatted all morning, and the website asked for a [-]-[-] split. I felt a little cheated, and what was even more cheating was that Li Yuan, who had never knocked on me since the summer vacation of the third year of junior high school, also knocked on me.
