On the second day after Xiao Yunhai returned to school, he received a call from Zhang Liye.
"Yunhai, good news. 'The Legend of Chu Liuxiang' has sold more than 5 million copies. "
Today, 'The Legend of Chu Liuxiang' could be said to be a household name. 5 million copies had created a miracle in the novel world. Although the sales had entered a period of weakness, but half a month of crazy sales had easily made it the year's best selling novel.
As for Li Tianming's' Angel ', due to the quality problem, the sales only reached 2.3 million copies. It couldn't be compared to' The Legend of Chu Liuxiang '.
"That's great. Teacher Zhang, thank you very much. If you didn't use all your connections to promote my book, I'm afraid we wouldn't have such results. "Xiao Yunhai said happily.
"To be able to achieve such good results, it's mainly because of the quality of 'The Legend of Chu Liuxiang'. This allowed those reclusive heroes to come out for a breath of fresh air. I don't have enough face to invite them. Hehe. The good news doesn't stop there. Director He Jin's assistant called yesterday. Director He has taken a fancy to 'The Legend of Chu Liuxiang' and wants to make it into a TV series. Yunhai, what do you think? "
"Of course. When will they come? "
"Tomorrow morning."
"Okay, no problem. We'll receive them at the Luzhou Moon Tea House next to the publishing house. "
"Okay. Right, I'll go to the bank and transfer your share of the novel to your card. Check it carefully. It's a total of 15.35 million after tax.
"So much."
"You can do the math yourself. Every time you sell a copy, the profit is 15 yuan. You've taken 25% of it. If you don't have to pay income tax, you should have more than 19 million now. "
Xiao Yunhai didn't expect to earn so much. He laughed and said, "Thank you, Teacher Zhang. See you tomorrow. "
The next day, Xiao Yunhai and Zhang Liye, who were wearing sunglasses to cover their tracks, went to the Luzhou Moon Tea House. They ordered a pot of Biluochun tea and quietly waited for He Jin's arrival.
They agreed to meet at 10 AM, but He Jin still hadn't arrived at 11 AM.
Xiao Yunhai's expression did not change as he quietly tasted his tea. His state of mind was calm, without a trace of anxiety. Under his grandfather's teachings, he liked drinking tea very much, especially after practicing martial arts.
He felt that drinking a pot of tea could calm his mind and get rid of the killing intent brought about by martial arts. It made his whole body and mind have a faint feeling of transcendence. This was the artistic conception that people often talked about, the artistic conception of tea tasting.
But Zhang Liye couldn't stand it anymore. He looked at the watch on his wrist and turned his head to look at the door. He didn't have the mood to drink tea at all.
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Teacher Zhang, can you calm down a little? Anyway, we don't have anything important to do. We can just wait for a while. Why are you in such a hurry? "
Zhang Liye waved his hand and grumbled, "How can I not be anxious? He had clearly said that it would be ten o 'clock. Now, more than an hour had passed. Even if he wanted to act like a big shot, it should be enough time. Why does it seem like we are the ones begging them? If they don't want to buy it, we won't sell it either. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Maybe he was delayed by something. I think you should calm down and enjoy the tea. This Biluochun is really good. No wonder it can be sold for 300 yuan a tael. It's really worth it. "After saying that, he took the cup and slowly took a sip. His face revealed a look of enjoyment.
Zhang Liye was full of admiration for Xiao Yunhai. He gave Xiao Yunhai a thumbs up and said, "Yunhai, do you know? I have lived for most of my life. Among all the people I have met, except for those old people who are over seventy years old, you are number one. It's strange. You are clearly in your twenties, but sometimes, I feel like there is another soul in your body. When you do things, you are neither hot nor cold. When you deal with problems, it's just right. Not to mention that I can't do it now, even if you give me another ten years, I won't be able to reach your level. "
When Xiao Yunhai heard Zhang Liye's words, he was shocked. The teacup in his hand trembled slightly, but he smiled and said, "Teacher Zhang's words make me feel flattered. It's just that I've experienced more things than others. Hey, look behind you. They seem to be coming over. "
Zhang Liye quickly turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with big sunglasses coming in first. Behind him was a young man who looked like an assistant.
After he came in, he first glanced around. When he saw Zhang Liye and Xiao Yunhai, he walked over and asked, "Chu Liuxiang?"
Zhang Liye nodded, stood up and said, "You are Director He, right?"
"Yes, I am." He Jin took off his sunglasses, revealing an angular face. He said to Zhang Liye apologetically, "I'm really sorry to have made you wait for so long. The flight was delayed, and I had to hide from the reporters, so I was late. I'm really sorry. "
When Zhang Liye saw such a big director bending down and sincerely apologizing, the dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared.
"Director He, it's too serious. Maybe you have some misunderstanding. Let me introduce you. I'm Zhang Liye from Minsheng Publishing House. This is the author that Director He is looking for, Mr. Xiao Yunhai. "
When He Jin heard it, he couldn't hide the surprise on his face. He looked at Xiao Yunhai from head to toe and sighed, "Heroes come from young. Mr. Xiao is so young, but he can write a martial arts novel like The Legend of Chu Liuxiang. It's really admirable. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Director He, you're too kind. Please sit down and try this high-quality Biluochun tea. "
He Jin didn't stand on ceremony and sat opposite Xiao Yunhai.
Xiao Yunhai smiled faintly. He realized that he really did like this person a little. He didn't have the air of a big director. Instead, he felt that he had a wild aura. When he did things, he was straightforward and straightforward. He was not pretentious and had the style of an ancient hero.
Xiao Yunhai poured tea for the two of them. He Jin thanked him and picked up the cup. He sighed and said, "Tea is good, but I don't know how to taste it. It's mainly because I have a fiery temper, which goes against the elegance of tea. I've made a fool of myself in front of you. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "That's because Director He is true to himself. He won't suppress his temper."
When He Jin heard this, he slapped his thigh and revealed an expression of "Great minds think alike". He said, "Mr. Xiao, what you said is very good. It is exactly what I want. I find that we do have some similar interests. How about this, we don't have to be so polite. You can call me Old He and I'll call you Yunhai. How about that? "
Xiao Yunhai naturally nodded and agreed.
A big director was a big director. No matter what his personality was like, he was good at building relationships. In his previous life, those famous directors were all top lobbyists. They had a set of words, especially when they talked about movies. They could make you dizzy. But thinking about it, if they didn't have this level of skill, they wouldn't be able to find investment for their movies.
"Yunhai, let's get back to business. I'm sure you know why I'm here. I want to bring your "Legend of Chu Liuxiang" to the TV screen. Since you're here, it means that you agree in principle. The rest is a matter of interest. " I'm going to give you a million to buy the adaptation rights of this novel. What do you think? "
He Jin went straight to the point. He didn't hold back with Xiao Yunhai and directly offered the real deal.
According to the current market, a million for the adaptation rights should be in the upper middle level. It was difficult for ordinary newcomers to get such a price. He Jin was more generous.
