To be honest, Fatty Wang Dachui was suppressed, and he made a few bad movies after that, causing some investors to lose all their money. This made many investors hate him to the bone.
It could be said that his reputation was already bad, and he couldn't get any investments at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so poor. At least he made a few blockbuster movies in the past.
"You still want me to invest?"
Xia Ping clenched his fists and had the urge to hit someone. This fatty had a good plan. If he invested, he probably wouldn't even need to pay for the adaptation of the novel.
"Of course."
Fatty Wang Dachui said seriously, "I'm not tricking you. If you invest, you can have 100% of the copyright of this TV series, and you can also have 100% of the profits."
"If it can become popular, the money earned will definitely be more than selling novels."
Xia Ping's eyes flickered. It was indeed as Wang Dachui said. If he could have all the copyright of this TV series, the profits would naturally be great. Moreover, he was also very confident in adapting his novel into a TV series.
He thought for a moment. "If this TV series is made, where do you plan to broadcast it?" For an adult blockbuster like this, ordinary television stations probably wouldn't allow it to be broadcast.
Even if he wanted to go to the cinema, he wouldn't be qualified.
"Of course it's on the Internet."
Fatty Wang Dachui had already thought about it. He said excitedly, "The income from online videos is no less than the income from television stations. Moreover, the higher the click rate, the more advertising fees we can earn."
"Maybe you don't know, on video websites, one click is worth 0.33 federal dollars. If we can make a video with over 100 million clicks, we can earn 33 million federal dollars."
"But a video like this costs only 500,000 federal dollars to make. If it's filmed, we can earn 50 to 60 times the cost. Even if we speculate in the stock market, we won't earn that much."
He was like a salesman, trying to persuade Xia Ping.
But even so, how could it be that easy to make a video have more than 100 million clicks? Most of the videos posted on the website would only have a few clicks, and no one would know about it.
There were also quite a number of people who lost everything they had.
"Interesting."
Xia Ping seriously considered the feasibility of this matter. The cost was low, and the profits were high. If it could become popular, it would be better to just shoot it himself. There was no need to give the copyright to others.
Seeing this, Fatty Wang Dachui struck while the iron was hot. "Big Brother, I've already thought about it. We'll use the new adult actress, Lin Meikong, as the female lead. She looks pure and has a hot figure. She can be said to be a child with a huge X face. She will definitely attract the attention of most men."
"What about men? Just find a few. Many men will do it even if they don't want money."
After failing for a few years, he had learned to be meticulous in his calculations and save as much as he could.
"Because the main character is a teacher, he has to wear better clothes."
Xia Ping gave his opinion. "It can't be an old-fashioned uniform. It has to be a black and white suit with high heels, stockings, black-rimmed glasses, and a ponytail. Even if you want to refuse, don't."
"Big Brother."
Hearing this, Wang Dachui was completely convinced. He looked at Xia Ping with admiration. "No wonder you can write such a masterpiece and set the trend. I didn't expect you to understand men so well. You're amazing."
"Such a woman is simply the dream lover of all men."
"If I had such a teacher back then, I would have gone to a top university long ago."
Just imagining that kind of outfit made him feel a little malnourished.
Editor Meng Fei was also full of admiration. Why else would he say that he was a master who could write such a novel? Just this suggestion alone was already superior. Just imagining that kind of scene made them unable to accept it.
"Cough, cough. You flatter me." Xia Ping said modestly, "I don't have much ability. If you want to know why I'm so capable, it's because I'm standing on the shoulders of giants."
If Newton in his previous life heard him use this famous saying here, he would probably jump out of his coffin in anger.
"Shoot it, shoot it immediately."
Fatty Wang Dachui could not wait any longer. "Even if we don't shoot 100 episodes, we can shoot 10 episodes first to test the waters. It's not a lot of money, just 5 million federal dollars."
His creative soul was burning. He had to shoot this masterpiece. He felt that this work could very well turn his life around.
"Okay, let's sign a contract."
Xia Ping thought about it and immediately made a decision. It was only 5 million federal dollars anyway, not too much.
It would be good if it succeeded, but even if it failed, it would not hurt too much. After all, his monthly royalties were 50 million federal dollars. This amount of money was simply a drop in the bucket.
Soon, Editor Meng Fei took out the contract. He specialized in this industry and was very familiar with the channels. The three parties immediately signed the contract, temporarily settling the matter.
Then, Xia Ping transferred 5 million federal dollars to Fatty Wang Dachui's account.
"Big Brother, don't worry. I will definitely not tarnish this work. I will definitely present the charm of this work on the screen." Fatty Wang Dachui had a sacred look on his face.
Xia Ping coughed. "Okay, then I'll wait and see." After saying that, he hung up the communication video and ended the call with Wang Dachui and Meng Fei.
"Okay, continue cultivating. The high school fighting competition is in two weeks. I can't waste time on this kind of thing." Xia Ping clenched his fist. Making money from his work was just an auxiliary method.
It was still martial arts cultivation. He could still distinguish the priority.
...
At this time, Editor Meng Fei and Fatty Wang Dachui were communicating.
"Brother Meng, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might not be able to make a comeback in this life. I would have to quit this industry." Wang Dachui was very grateful.
Meng Fei waved his hand. "You're welcome. You have to seize the opportunity yourself. Don't mess it up again. Otherwise, even the gods can't save you."
"Of course, I'm very confident in this work."
Wang Dachui was full of confidence. "According to the topic of this work and its popularity, it won't fail at all. Moreover, if the identity of the author is revealed when the video is released, it will definitely have a very good publicity effect. "
He had thought of a series of publicity methods. Xia Ping did not expect this d * mn fatty to actually plan to trick him.
"How long will it take you to finish shooting these ten episodes?" Meng Fei asked.
Wang Dachui thought for a moment and said, "Originally, it would take three days to finish one episode, but if it's urgent, one day is enough. I'm known as the Quick Shooter Director Wang in the industry. There's nothing I can't do."
"With the post-production editing, two weeks will be enough."
