Chapter 207 Capital
The editor thought the proposal was unlikely to be approved, but the other party actually agreed to it very readily.
Just kidding, the screenwriter who brought money into the crew through the back door, you can't refuse it even if you don't want it.
What's more, the author has his own traffic, so he has to do it himself. Is this a publicity point? Only a fool would not do that.
As a result, amidst the love between the man and the woman, the full copyright of "Chu Tian Wu Ji" was officially sold to Datang Light and Shadow Co., Ltd. for three million over five years. The contract clearly stated that the author would personally participate in the scriptwriting, and the opinions on plot modifications would be mainly based on the author's.
This is simply the treatment of a famous artist. Not even famous artists can get this treatment...
Most film and television practitioners want the popularity of online literature IPs, but look down on online literature itself. It is a common practice for them to be split. Some screenwriters openly said in the forum that they adapt online literature, but they never read online literature.
And he said it very proudly.
This shows why online novel adaptations always turn out to be a bunch of shit. In addition to funding constraints, a large part of the factor is that the arrogant film and television practitioners simply don’t understand what the audience of the IP they are operating likes and what they want to watch.
But when it comes to taking money through the back door, nothing is a problem.
Arrogance is no match for capital.
Obviously, the money did not arrive so quickly as the process was still early, but Chu Ge looked at the contract sent to him and signed it as if he was in a dream.
Fuck, three million!
Divided into 1.5 million, there is still 120,000 left after tax deduction!
Hey, why does it sound like it has shrunk so much... It feels like the strong dog has instantly turned into a salted fish dog.
Never mind, it’s already a lot, and I can also participate in the scriptwriting! This is the most important thing!
What is the purpose of a writer's life? It seems that it is worth it to stop here and he can stop writing... No, he really can stop writing the next book.
It's impossible to be a eunuch. On the contrary, it seems that it should be finished early to facilitate filming?
Chu Ge actually began to worry about gains and losses.
It is impossible to finish the book early, but if it is finished as originally planned, wouldn’t it be too late to start filming after everything is finished... He always feels that a certain degree of world recognition is needed before the book is finished, which is of great significance to the existence and closure of the world when the book is finished. This is his premonition as the way of heaven.
It was only taken a few years later, and the daylily was already cold...
But it seems unlikely that they will directly film a book that is still being serialized...
They have other projects on hand, so why take such a risk? They are shooting now, and you haven't finished writing it yet. What if you write a mess later?
Chu Ge called Lao Zhu with a worried look on his face.
After hearing the purpose of the visit, Lao Zhu laughed and said, "This is not difficult. Nowadays, you don't need to finish shooting these things before shooting. You can divide them into seasons. When the first season is finished, I guess you should have finished the book. Look at Ice and Fire, they were also written and filmed at the same time, and the shooting progress was even faster than the original book..."
Chu Ge said: "I understand the reason, but people don't have to do this..."
"I have money."
“…”
Lao Zhu consoled him, "I've seen your masterpiece, and it's pretty easy to divide it into seasons. The first season will end with the final battle between Qiu Wuji and Yan Qianlie. This situation is easy to convince the team, and it's not something we can force, right?"
Chu Ge felt a little guilty: "How much do you want to invest..."
Lao Zhu said: "One hundred million."
Chu Ge: “?”
"It just so happens that I sold my mine and got a lot of cash. Now I have so much money that it's getting moldy. I also need to find a place to invest. This is one of them. I still have some extra money and I'm looking for other projects..."
Chu Ge: "...The mine was really sold, so quickly..."
Old Zhu smiled and said, "So I added a little more. It wasn't supposed to be so much... After adding more, I have the confidence to urge them to start the project as soon as possible."
"No, Lao Zhu...you are still adding..." Chu Ge said weakly: "What should I do if I pay the compensation?"
"Oh, do you think Xie Wenyuan is a fool?" Old Zhu said with a smile, "Since he has decided to launch the project, it must have been after a risk assessment. To be honest, I was only planning to invest a few hundred million to show my appreciation, and I didn't think about making a big production. But his attitude made me think it was profitable. Chu Ge, I'm not just saying nice things to fool you. Investing is for making money, not for saving face, okay?"
"Can it really make money?"
"There are risks, of course. Now that you've made the decision, you have to take the responsibility." Old Zhu said, "Don't be so timid, can you be more confident? Your guilty look makes me panic..."
"Ahem, ahem..." Chu Ge didn't know how to show his confidence to boost the confidence of investors, especially when the investors were his own people...
"You are too kindhearted. You are afraid of cheating your own people... If it were someone else, they would cheat their own people." Lao Zhu smiled and said, "Okay, the matter has reached the capital level. It has nothing to do with the author. Whether it is profitable or not depends on the operation."
He paused, then smiled mysteriously: "Sanwa, you seem to have forgotten that my special ability is divination."
"Huh..." Chu Ge was stunned.
"A fortune teller, although not too accurate...would he waste all the 100 million?" Old Zhu smiled: "You think I'm helping you, but how do you know it's not you who's helping me make money..."
The mine owner started playing “Who knows?”… It was not until this time that Chu Ge felt that Lao Zhu had a bit of the flavor of the old photographer whom he had met by chance.
For the first time, I felt the terrifying power of capital up close. It was like a dark cloud covering the sky. Standing in the middle of it, a small author felt like an ant under the law of heaven.
It’s as if I’m looking down at the book.
My heart, which had just swelled slightly because of getting 1.2 million, was instantly poured with cold water.
"I will write the rest carefully. I'll leave the film and television matters to you."
Lao Zhu smiled: "No problem, do you want to come to my house for dinner today?"
"No, I'll wait for Qiuqiu to come home. She should be back from driving lessons soon."
"Okay, I won't disturb your world of two."
"Click~" The door of the room opened at the right time, and Qiu Wuji's laughter came: "I'm back~ Hey, you're not typing?"
Chu Ge put away his phone and took the vegetables from Qiu Wuji: "I was just talking to Lao Zhu on the phone... Are you buying vegetables after learning to drive?"
"Yeah, one car per person, the time is easy to arrange. The coach and I are going to buy groceries together." Qiu Wuji changed his shoes and said with a smile, "The coach is also a good housekeeper, unlike Mengmeng, who is a capitalist. She won't admit it even if I tell her."
Chu Ge felt sympathetic: "Yes, capitalists..."
"What's wrong? You look weird."
"Nothing." Chu Ge threw the dishes into the kitchen, turned around, picked up Qiu Wuji, and rolled onto the sofa with a leap: "The film and television adaptation is done, it's done, kiss?"
Qiu Wuji was pressed down and struggled hard. He covered his mouth with disgust and said, "Don't imitate Wei Xiaobao. He has seven. How many do you want?"
Chu Ge was muffled and couldn't speak clearly: "One can also be said to be a complete success..."
Qiu Wuji asked curiously, "Is it true?"
Chu Ge slowly took away her hand that was covering her mouth: "Really... our presence in the world is really becoming more and more distinct..."
Qiu Wuji's eyes sparkled, and he was obviously very happy.
The reality of the world means her reality, which is closely related, although it is difficult to say in what form it will be presented.
"No, just talk, why did you take my hand away..."
"Isn't it said that you should listen to me in the book and listen to me here..."
"I, I never said that! Ugh…"
Chugo kissed her hard.
Qiu Wuji gradually lost the strength to struggle. He closed his eyes, hugged her back, and responded gently.
It’s been a long time since I kissed you…

PS: Oh, I didn’t sleep well and was down for another day.
Why do so many people think that harem novels can’t be adapted into anime? Don’t they know that harem novels are one of the largest types of anime? As for sex scenes… even the plot can’t stop them from changing them beyond recognition. How can you be so confident that they will consider your original sex scenes? You are not from Earth.←_←
Many people say that the first volume of "Ask the Way" can be changed, but the latter part cannot. Brothers, you are wrong. The latter part is suitable for comic adaptation. It is precisely the first volume that prevents the copyright of "Ask the Way" from being sold. People can't even finish reading it. This is the reality.
