"Boss Chen, General Manager Wang from the Daqian Entertainment Resources Department is here. He wants to talk to you about the copyright purchase!" Chen Jiji heard his assistant's report in a big villa near the sea.
Chen Jiji had a pen name called Qiong Yao.
"People from the Daqian Entertainment? What are they doing here? Didn't I tell him last time? I won't sell my TV copyright! "Chen Jiji frowned when he heard the name of the Daqian Entertainment.
In fact, it wasn't the first time Chen Jiji dealt with the Daqian Entertainment. About half a year ago, the Daqian Entertainment had already visited Chen Jiji.
At that time, the Daqian Entertainment was buying the copyright all over the world. Although Boss Jia didn't like Qiong Yao's novels and TV series, the audience liked them!
Just like what Boss Jia said to Director Chen, art couldn't be separated from the practical needs of the people.
Therefore, Boss Jia still sent someone to talk to Chen Jiji about the electronic copyright of all the TV series under Yiren Company.
In fact, the negotiation between the two parties was quite good. Although the price offered by Daqian Entertainment wasn't high in the end, all the TV series added together was about one million New T coins. However, this was an electronic copyright that had never been heard of. It was equivalent to free money. Chen Jiji was also very happy to sell it.
However, something happened before the signing of the contract, causing the negotiation to fall apart.
The person who caused the negotiation to fall apart was none other than General Manager Wang from the Resources Department.
In fact, General Manager Wang was also a very powerful person. After all, he was responsible for the copyright purchase of the entire Southeast Asian region. He negotiated the copyright of many movies and TV series. He worked hard and contributed a lot. His ability was also very outstanding.
However, he fell into the hands of Chen Jiji. Moreover, General Manager Wang still didn't know how he offended the great writer Chen Jiji.
She only remembered that after the last negotiation and dinner, Yiren unilaterally announced that there was no need to continue the negotiation. Yiren sold the copyright to Daqian Entertainment and told Daqian Entertainment to stop looking for them.
At first, Mr. Wang thought that it was the opponent's negotiation skill, so he had no choice but to raise the price from 1 million to 1.2 million. However, he didn't expect that Yiren still refused very firmly, leaving no room for negotiation. She even refused to negotiate, which made Daqian Entertainment confused.
However, Chen Jiji refused. Daqian Entertainment couldn't waste too much time on her alone or offer too high a price. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to other acquisition targets.
After all, other people's TV series were just as awesome. Qiong Yao's was really nothing.
Therefore, the acquisition at that time came to an end. The two sides had not contacted each other for more than half a year. Chen Jiji did not expect Manager Wang to come to his door again.
"I let him in!" More than half a year had passed. Chen Jiji thought that people might change, so he invited CEO Wang in again.
"President Chen, long time no see!" Wang Ke was relieved when he heard that he was allowed in.
To be honest, he didn't want to see this great writer at all. Talking to her was a torture, but the problem was that this task was forced by the higher-ups.
Chairman Jia said that he must buy the copyright of Plum Blossom Branding, otherwise, he would be fired.
In desperation, Wang Ke could only come to Chen Jiji again, but fortunately, his luck seemed to be good this time. Chen Jiji didn't hold a grudge, and the two sides met very smoothly.
"President Chen, the book that you recently published," Plum Blossom Branding, "is really well written. Our Daqian Entertainment, including Chairman Jia, likes it very much, so this time, he specially asked me to buy the copyright of" Plum Blossom Branding, "and let our Daqian Entertainment be solely responsible for the shooting!"
"As for the copyright fee, it's not a problem. Just name your price!" Wang Ke went straight to the point as soon as they met.
Wang Ke was still very confident about this negotiation. After all, in order to buy the copyright of Plum Blossom Branding, the higher-ups gave Wang Ke an incredible bottom line, which was 5 million RMB.
These days, the exchange rate between "New T Dollars" and RMB was 10: 1. 5 million RMB was 50 million New T Dollars, which was enough to buy three single-family villas that Chen Jiji lived in. Wang Ke believed that no one would have the courage to refuse such a price.
After all, even if you filmed a TV series, broadcast it on the TV station, and achieved excellent ratings, the income of this TV series might not be 30 million New T Coins!
Therefore, Wang Ke believed that this negotiation would be successful in the end.
Of course, Wang Ke wouldn't directly name the price of 50 million. He still wanted to let the other party name the price first, and then slowly bargain.
What Wang Ke didn't expect was that Chen Jiji didn't seem to care about selling the copyright. She glanced at Wang Ke, and then smiled, "President Wang, do you remember the question I asked you when we met last time?"
"Question?" Wang Ke froze for a moment. The last time they met, both sides were negotiating. Chen Jiji asked a lot of questions. How could he know which question Chen Jiji was talking about?
"Well, it seems that President Wang doesn't remember. Then I'll say it myself. I once asked President Wang, in all the novels I've written, who is the protagonist you hate the most?" Chen Jiji asked with a smile.
"Oh, so it was this question. I remember!" Wang Ke suddenly realized. He remembered this question, and he also answered at the time. The answer was Zi Ling, the heroine of A Curtain of Dreams. The reason was very simple. This Zi Ling was nominally pursuing love, but in fact, she was a mistress who stole her brother-in-law!
Wang Ke's worldview was still very upright.
"Then I don't know what President Wang thinks about this question now? Is the answer still the same? "Chen Jiji asked with a smile.
"This …" President Wang wasn't stupid. He felt that the problem last time might be this Zi Ling. This Zi Ling was definitely not the correct answer, so he had to change it.
No, how could he hate the heroine in Chen Jiji's novel? Wasn't this a clear slap to Chen Jiji's face?
At this moment, Wang Ke finally understood where he had gone wrong last time.
As the saying goes, a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. Chen Jiji asked him which heroine he hated, should he really tell him who the heroine was?
This was the same as your girlfriend asking you which part of her body she wanted to be the ugliest. This was a question that would kill him if he answered it!
"No!" Wang Ke, who came to his senses, shook his head hard, and then said with great sincerity, "All the heroines that President Chen described, I like them very much. I don't hate any of them!"
"Well!" Chen Jiji's face showed a smile, and then said, "This answer doesn't count. You didn't answer it, did you?"
"Well, if I have to say a hateful heroine, I think it's Zhao Min from Jin Yong's The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber!"
"Why?"
"Because Zhao Min is a mistress. Obviously, Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo already had feelings for each other. It was Zhao Min who interfered and used some seductive means to snatch Zhang Wuji away. In the end, she even ruined Zhou Zhiruo's wedding. Zhou Zhiruo, who was such a good girl, became evil because of her!"
"And in the end, Zhao Min betrayed her own family for the so-called feelings, indirectly killing her own father. This kind of heroine is really annoying!" Wang Ke felt that he was a genius in his heart. He had actually come up with such a perfect answer!
"See the guest out!" Chen Jiji's expression instantly stiffened, and then he said stiffly.
"Wait … President Chen, we can still talk about it!" Wang Ke was stunned. He stood up and said, "This time, our Daqian sincerely wants to buy the copyright of the plum blossom brand. Our Daqian is willing to pay 10 million New T coins."
"10 million … It can be sold for so much money!" Chen Jiji hesitated for a moment. This price really made him a little tempted, but soon anger surged in his heart.
Chen Jiji had always been a sentimental person. Otherwise, he would not have done such a thing in the past.
Therefore, even if Wang Ke kept raising the price, he was still driven out by him without hesitation.
"Wait … In the end, he said that he was willing to pay 50 million to buy my copyright … Then maybe … Forget it, I must have misheard. Why would someone be willing to pay 50 million to buy the copyright of a novel?" Chen Jiji shook his head and watched Wang Ke being sent out by his assistant.
