Jiang Youjia really seems like a copyright scammer.
Shui Mingyue has sold the film and television adaptation rights for two of her books. The negotiation and signing time for a single book takes two or three months. Jiang Youjia wants to buy the film and television adaptation rights for 11 of her novels in one go. This is simply outrageous!
Jiang Youjia separated Shui Mingyue and Luo Hao's line of sight, and without waiting for Shui Mingyue to hesitate, Jiang Youjia pulled Shui Mingyue away.
Luo Hao wanted to say something, but the director called out to him, "Luo Hao, come here quickly. Let's go through the camera positions first!"
For some reason, Luo Hao has a lot of scenes to shoot today.
Being stopped by the director, Luo Hao could only watch Jiang Youjia and Shui Mingyue leave.
The heroine saw everything and whispered, "If you're worried, you can ask the director for leave."
Luo Hao shook his head. "No, it will delay the filming progress. I can't let the entire crew wait for me."
If Luo Hao were already famous, asking for leave would be perfectly normal; some stars act like big shots, and the entire crew would just go along with them. However, Luo Hao was just a newcomer, having finally landed the lead role, and fearing he'd be replaced mid-sentence if his performance wasn't good enough, he didn't dare neglect any of his scenes.
When talking about Shui Mingyue selling film and television adaptation rights, the heroine's tone was quite envious: "A best-selling author like Teacher Mingyue earns as much as a popular star."
The royalties from a book can earn several million, and the film and television rights can earn another one or two million.
Just publish one book a year and you don’t have to do anything else.
Moreover, writers are respected wherever they go, unlike celebrities. To be a talented writer, you need to have acting skills and singing skills, while to be an idol, you cannot fall in love and are sometimes even called a "player"... It is not easy to be a celebrity, and it is even harder to be a writer. Talent is something that cannot be seen or touched. If you have it, you have it, and if you don't, you don't!
The heroine muttered to herself, urging Luo Hao to seize the opportunity.
If Shui Mingyue had added some additional clauses when selling the copyright, specifying that Luo Hao continue to be the male lead in a certain drama, Luo Hao would have made a lot of money.
"That's Jiaxin! Jiaxin's eldest sister is Xu Mei, and there's no eldest brother yet..."
The heroine seemed to have a hidden meaning in her words, so Luo Hao retracted his gaze. "If you want to join Jiaxin, you can ask yourself. Mr. Jiang will come again."
After saying this, Luo Hao ignored the heroine.
The heroine covered her mouth and chuckled, "You always take other people's kindness for granted. If you want to make it in this industry, it's really important to have a strong company!"
Because it is so difficult to make a name for yourself, newcomers in this circle never engage in useless relationships.
You have to have both popularity and resources to avoid wasting your energy on a relationship.
Luo Hao is handsome, but the heroine is not attracted to him at all, because Luo Hao is a newcomer with no background, and the heroine will not get any benefit from dating him.
Compared with Luo Hao, although the heroine is also a newcomer, she has filmed commercials before and played supporting roles in other dramas. If she were to be with Luo Hao, Luo Hao would take away her popularity and resources - Luo Hao must be aware of this, so he only sticks with Shui Mingyue.
Shui Mingyue is not from this circle, and she will not consider the gains and losses when getting close to Luo Hao.
Although Shui Mingyue is not as good as Wen Ying in managing her own IP, she is still a best-selling author who has been famous for several years. If she really were to be with Luo Hao, the media would also be interested in this relationship.
The most important thing is that Shui Mingyue has money and resources, and holds the rights to adapt many novels. When transferring these adaptation rights, if Shui Mingyue is willing, she can help Luo Hao exchange them for acting resources!
Shui Mingyue has a simple mind, but Luo Hao is not.
The drama first decided on the female lead and then chose the male lead. The male lead chosen at first was Luo Hao, but was later replaced by Luo Hao.
There must be a reason for this.
…
Afraid that Shui Mingyue would be too nervous, Jiang Youjia consulted Shui Mingyue about her thoughts and then took her to the small restaurant where Luo Hao had invited Wen Ying to dinner before.
It was still that simple private room.
Jiang Youjia wiped the table several times with a napkin and took out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase.
"Teacher Mingyue, this is our company's sincerity."
Shui Mingyue picked up the document curiously and found that it was an adaptation analysis report of her work.
Except for her unpublished new book and the two books whose adaptation rights have been sold, the remaining 10 books have analytical reports.
Of course, the analysis reports provided by Jiang Youjia were not detailed enough, and Shui Mingyue even disagreed with the adaptation direction of several books, but this at least proved that Jiaxin's desire to buy the adaptation rights of all her works was not a sudden decision, but he had done his homework in advance.
The analysis report for each novel is followed by a quote for the book's adaptation rights.
The lowest bid is 1.2 million.
Shui Mingyue was not in a good state when writing this book, which was priced at 1.2 million yuan, and the reader feedback after it was published was not good enough.
The highest bid was 2 million, without an adaptation analysis report, and was for Shui Mingyue’s upcoming new book!
Is Jiaxin going to spend 2 million to buy the film and television adaptation rights without even watching the content?
Shui Mingyue was puzzled.
Jiang Youjia smiled and said, "Teacher Mingyue, I have read all of your works, and I wrote these analysis reports myself. I know these reports have many shortcomings, because I have not been managing Jiaxin for a long time and can only be considered semi-professional. I hope you will not doubt the overall level of our company because of these shortcomings. When your work is actually adapted, the company will definitely invite the most professional screenwriters to take charge. Of course, if you have the time and willingness, Teacher Mingyue, I welcome you to take on the role of screenwriter yourself."
Knowing what Shui Mingyue cares about, Jiang Youjia put his effort into that area.
Shui Mingyue is willing to serve as a script consultant for the crew, so how could she refuse to be the screenwriter herself!
