Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
Wen Ying certainly knew this, but her biggest problem was that she had no money... Oh, it wasn't that she had no money, it was that she wasn't rich enough.
Not to mention Wen Ying, even Tianjiao couldn't buy the adaptation rights to all of Shui Mingyue's novels.
At the peak of Shui Mingyue's career, she published three romance novels a year. So far, 12 of her works have been published and released. It is known that Shui Mingyue has sold the film and television adaptation rights of two of her novels, so there are still ten books left - plus the new book that is about to be published, that's a total of 11 books!
Wen Ying estimated that the price of a single copy of Shui Mingyue's novel adaptation rights would be at least seven figures. Considering the novel copyright market in 2007, it should not exceed 2 million.
Based on the popularity of the work itself and its suitability for adaptation, 1 million to 2 million yuan is a reasonable offer to buy the adaptation rights of Shui Mingyue's novel.
Wen Ying calculated the adaptation rights of the 11 novels at an average price of 1.5 million per book, which means the total price is 16.5 million.
The lowest price negotiated was 1 million per copy, which would cost 11 million.
So much money is spent just to hoard the adaptation rights of Shui Mingyue. Even if the film and television companies are willing to spend this money, Shui Mingyue may not be willing to sell it!
Rather than earning money from selling adaptation rights, Shui Mingyue values the quality of his works after they are adapted into film and television.
If the adaptation rights of all works are packaged and sold to the same film and television company, the money will be made, but if this company is unreliable, all of Shui Mingyue's works will be ruined.
Wen Ying was stunned by Mr. Xie's wealth and power. "You trust my judgment, and I trust mine too. You can't lose money by buying the rights to Shui Mingyue's novel. The question is, will Shui Mingyue sell it?"
Wen Ying analyzed Shui Mingyue's mentality, but Xie Qian didn't care much: "This is not something we should worry about. Let my brother-in-law go talk to her. Regardless of whether Shui Mingyue agrees to sell the copyright to Jiaxin, you should not express your opinion, let alone persuade her."
The current market price for the adaptation transfer fee is 1 million to 2 million, and Xie Qian will not let Jiang Youjia lower the price too much.
Having bought the adaptation rights to 11 novels at once, it would be impossible for Charles Kahn to film all of them in a short period of time.
The dramas have to be filmed and broadcast one by one.
For some works, Charles Schwab may also need to cooperate with other companies.
During this period, no matter which of Shui Mingyue's works becomes a hit after being adapted, the ratings of her remaining works will also rise.
If Shui Mingyue regrets in the future and feels that she suffered a great loss by selling the 11 books as a package to Jiaxin, and then thinks that it was Wen Ying who persuaded her... the friendship between Wen Ying and Shui Mingyue can basically be declared over!
Xie Qian naturally considered Wen Ying. As for how his cousin-in-law Jiang Youjia would convince Shui Mingyue, Xie Qian didn't care much about the process.
Apart from their relationship as relatives, Jiang Youjia works for Xie Qian for a salary, and a worker has to work!
"Okay, I won't participate in the negotiations. Let Brother Jiang come forward."
Xie Qian was thinking about Wen Ying, and Wen Ying also felt a little guilty.
Xie Qian didn’t know that Shui Mingyue’s work would become a hit after the adaptation, but Wen Ying knew!
Wen Ying could neither help Xie Qian to lower Shui Mingyue's offer price, nor would she force Xie Qian to give Shui Mingyue a high price just because she knew the future trend.
After all, Wen Ying not only knew that Shui Mingyue's work would be a big hit, she also knew that housing prices would soar!
In 2019, a house in Shanghai was selling for tens of millions, while in 2007 it was only a little over one million. But Wen Ying couldn't possibly use the 2019 price to buy a house from 2007. If she did that, the landlord would have made an extra eight million yuan, and after taking the money, he might even give Wen Ying a break and give her the rest of the money she earned to help him think.
Even someone who has had a cerebral thrombosis for more than ten years wouldn't be able to do something like this. Maybe Wen Ying's mother abandoned the child during childbirth and raised the placenta—
The prices in 2007 were the same as in 2007. If Shui Mingyue sold the copyright this year, the transfer fee for a single copy would not be able to exceed 2 million.
If Shui Mingyue agrees to sell the adaptation rights of the 11 novels to Jiaxin in a package, she will earn more than 10 million yuan.
That's a lot of money.
If the money is left unused, it might be swindled away. Wen Ying thought that since Shui Mingyue liked to buy shops, she would persuade Shui Mingyue to use the money to buy a shop in Shanghai.
If housing prices go up in the future, Shui Mingyue won't suffer any loss by selling the copyrights in a package now.
Xie Qian's plan to cut off the source of the problem and Wen Ying's calculations were all based on the premise that "Jiaxin successfully bought the adaptation rights of all Shui Mingyue's works."
The two of them made a long-distance phone call and made clear arrangements for Jiang Youjia. No one asked Jiang Youjia what he thought.
Jiang Youjia didn't say that he couldn't make the deal. He just felt there was no need to buy so many books at once.
If Xie Qian has too much money to spend, Jiang Youjia suggests that Xie Qian can buy the adaptation rights of Wen Ying's novel.
I heard that Wen Ying is not only popular in Aurora University, but also outside the school, some people named Pang and Mu have a good impression of Wen Ying.
Although these people's overall conditions are not as good as Xie Qian's, they have the advantage of "the one who is close to the water gets the moon first", and can show their presence in front of Wen Ying every day!
Xie Qian is so pitiful.
Xie Qian is recuperating abroad and his return date is uncertain. As the saying goes, when there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king. If Xie Qian does not work hard to make his presence felt, what will happen if he capsizes in a small ditch one day?
Considering that Xie Qian was injured, Jiang Youjia did not directly pierce Xie Qian's heart, but said it another way:
"Our company can't finish filming, so are we just going to leave it there and collect dust?"
"Just go ahead and negotiate. If the negotiation is successful, your year-end bonus will be paid as normal. If the negotiation fails—"
"Okay, I'll go talk to you right away!"
Jiang Youjia was afraid that Xie Qian would go back on his word, so he agreed immediately.
There is no way. Xie Qian’s lifelong happiness is very important, and Jiang Youjia also has to support his family!
