Fan Xi saw a note on the table and took it to read. It said: "Wife, I will continue to carry out the mission. I will come to see you after the mission is completely completed!"

Fan Xi smiled, got up, put on his clothes, and went to wash up. When he was almost done, there was a knock on the door...

Zhou Qingyun's voice came from outside the room, "Xiao Fan, are you up? Do you want to go downstairs for breakfast together?"

Fan Xi quickly grabbed his bag and opened the door. "Zhou Yuren, good morning! I've packed up. Let's go downstairs and eat together!"

The two of them went to the restaurant downstairs together, had a quick breakfast, and then got on the special car sent by the film studio to start the next day's meeting with Lin Munan.

The next day's meeting will also focus on the details of the picture book adaptation copyright and profit sharing.

After a few people asked each other questions, Lin Munan went straight into the main topic of today's meeting.

He leaned forward slightly, folded his hands on the table, and looked across at Zhou Qingyun and Fan Xi, "Editor Zhou, Comrade Fan, we almost finished discussing the content of the picture book 'Tuantuan and Yuanyuan' yesterday.

Originally, our studio wanted exclusive adaptation rights for the picture book, but after yesterday's discussion, we deeply admire Mr. Fan's creative concepts and the style of the picture book, and the animated film will continue this style, so we have decided to give up the exclusive adaptation rights. We would also like to hire Mr. Fan as the film's extra-staff color director, collaborating with our screenwriter on the adaptation of the picture book."

Fan Xi was surprised that the studio wanted her to be the color director. After a moment of shock, she said, "I really want to be involved in the picture book adaptation, but I have to go back to Guangzhou. I'm still in school, so I'm afraid it's not convenient for me to stay in Shanghai all the time."

Lin Munan smiled and said, "It's okay. Our factory will still be responsible for the main work. After the first draft is completed, it will be given to Comrade Fan for review. Comrade Fan can put forward his own reasonable suggestions, and we will consider adopting them. Only when there are special circumstances will Comrade Fan be asked to come to Shanghai."

Fan Xi nodded, "No problem! I can accept it!"

Lin Munan continued, "Regarding the profit sharing, since our studio has given up the exclusive adaptation rights, the share you two will receive will be lower than originally planned. However, we will give Comrade Fan an additional fee for color guidance. Calculated this way, Comrade Fan's income shouldn't change much, but the publisher's share will be slightly less. I hope you two can discuss this and see if you agree."

Fan Yu and Zhou Qingyun exchanged a glance, and Zhou Qingyun asked directly, "How much has it dropped?"

"The original profit rate was reduced from 25% to 20%."

"A huge reduction?!" Fan Xi felt very painful.

"Yes, unless Comrade Fan wants to sell the exclusive adaptation rights to the studio, then Comrade Fan and the publishing house cannot interfere with how the film is adapted in the future! And the copyright cannot be sold to any other film and television companies! In this case, we can get a 25% share."

Zhou Qingyun spoke directly, "Producer Lin, if this picture book is successfully adapted, it has enormous market potential. It's currently one of our publishing house's best-selling books, and we print tens of thousands of copies each time. We already have a substantial readership, and the story itself is very compelling. After the adaptation, it will be a very competitive work. We truly feel that a 20% commission is too little!"

Lin Munan smiled and said calmly, "Editor Zhou, after all, our studio has to bear the costs of adaptation, the risks of production, and the subsequent publicity and distribution expenses. If we don't have exclusive adaptation rights, 20% is indeed more reasonable."

The atmosphere in the conference room grew tense. After a moment's silence, Fan Xi picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and said with a smile, "How about we both compromise? How about 23%?"

Zhou Qingyun nodded, "23% is acceptable to our publishing house!"

Lin Munan frowned slightly, pondering for a moment before reaching out to shake Zhou Qingyun's hand. "Well, 23% is 23%. I hope our collaboration goes smoothly and that 'Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan' becomes a classic."

Fan Yu then extended his hand and shook Lin Munan's. "I believe our collaboration will be a pleasure. I also hope that the animated film 'Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan' will bring a unique experience to the audience and be a big hit at the box office!"
