Chapter 83 I want to defeat Qian Quan and the Chinese martial arts world!

Editorial Department of "New Story Monthly".

"Are you sure the other party is really from the film and television company?"

After listening to Qing Mo's report, the editor-in-chief couldn't believe it.

We know our own business, and as far as their magazine’s style of chasing rumors and shadows, pretending to be documentary literature and spreading blood, there is no need to consider the issue of film and television copyrights.

Movies and TV dramas also spill blood, but there is also a chain of contempt in the world of blood.

You can go watch a big movie about youth pain, drinking and fighting, abortion and amnesia, car accidents abroad, and bloody movies pretending to be hot-blooded;

You can also watch a TV series about a domineering president/master/devil falling in love with me;

However, there is a high probability that you will not buy a magazine with a scantily clad girl on the cover and a title that will shock your three senses.

If it hadn't been for the tightening of review in the past two years and the beginning of focusing on issues with bad orientation, "New Story Monthly" would have had even more outrageous ethical classifications in the early years.

Those articles are no longer about attacking the three views, but reshaping the three views.

How should I put it, even Jiao Da in "A Dream of Red Mansions" would be called an expert after watching it.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, this type of magazine represents vulgarity and lowness, and cannot be put on the table.

Therefore, even with the explosion of IP and the entire industry plundering and hoarding popular IP, no one cares about the film and television drama adaptations of the articles in "New Story Monthly".

"I'm sure, I checked. There is indeed this company, which has produced several period romance dramas and love dramas. Among them, their representative work "Replacement Bride" has been on the stars." Qing Mo said.

"That's no wonder," the editor nodded, "did he say how much he would pay?"

"No, I'm just asking about the copyright ownership and the author's contact information."

The editor-in-chief was silent for a moment and said: "We don't have film and television copyrights, but..."

There was a subtle change in Qingmo's expression.

"But we can buy out the author's film and television rights first, and then negotiate with the film and television company."

Qing Mo remained silent.

"You don't think it's appropriate?" The editor-in-chief judged the appearance.

"No, it's just...how much should we pay to buy it out?"

"Fifty or eighty thousand is fine. Let's have a meeting to evaluate it."

Qing Mo said: "But, there was a forum where a long series of posts sold for 150,000 yuan..."

"150,000? Two to thirty thousand words of content, selling for 150,000? Five thousand words of one thousand?" The editor-in-chief was surprised, then nodded with a smile, "Yes, the copyrights of popular IPs are now sold in the tens of millions, so what?

When I entered the industry, I couldn’t even think about it.”

Qing Mo smiled and nodded in agreement: "It's a bit crazy, but it always feels like a bubble."

"Forget it, just give them the author's contact information, and then you can follow up on this matter. After they finalize the contract, we will do a publicity."

"clear."

"This is also an opportunity for us. You can pay attention to the manuscripts received in the future and evaluate those with potential for adaptation. We can take the initiative to recommend them."

"Um."

"You should contact the author first and give him a thorough explanation. Don't be too exaggerated but don't be too understated to highlight our role in this cooperation."

"clear."

"Go ahead."

Qing Mo returned to his work station and immediately contacted Mr. Lin Wen, the author of "Porcelain Wedding".

…

"Old money is still powerful, 650 per thousand words. This price was not a big deal in the past, but now that the publishing industry is in decline, it is really not easy to still get this price."

After the news of Qian Wenlin's article being published spread, everyone quickly became concerned about his royalties and were surprised to learn that he was paid 650 per thousand words.

"I'm lucky, it just happened." Qian Wenlin said modestly.

"Strength is strength. Teacher Qian, don't be humble. We are going to have a big meal this time."

"No problem." Qian Wenlin said with a smile. For a manuscript fee of 19,000, it doesn't matter if one or two thousand is used as a treat.

While chatting, the school bell rang and everyone returned to work. Qian Wenlin had no class this period, but he had a lot of homework to correct.

I was about to bring my homework when I received a message from editor Qing Mo:

"Hello, Teacher Lin, excuse me, do you still have the film and television copyright of the novel "Porcelain Wedding"?"

When Qian Wenlin saw the news, his heart moved and he replied: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Qing Mo: "That's right, we want to push down the film and television rights of your novel, so we want to confirm with you."

Qian Wenlin: "Oh, yes, thank you very much."

Qing Mo: "It's okay. It's just a little effort. I'll contact you when the results come back later."

Qian Wenlin: "Okay."

…

Nara.

In a courtyard built against a mountain, Ichiro Shimizu sat on his knees on a futon, his head lowered and silent.

Opposite him sat a middle-aged man in his fifties and a young man as broad as a mountain.

They are Qingshui Yiliang’s master and uncle——

Japanese Iaijutsu master Isao Okawachi and his junior disciple Yugiri Igarashi.

Okawauchi Isao has an elegant temperament and a kind demeanor, while Igarashi Yugiri's face is expressionless, calm and reserved, like a snow-capped mountain that is as solid as gold and as cold as frost.

The two have very different temperaments and a sharp contrast.

For Ichiro Shimizu, he would rather be scolded by his master for an hour than sit face to face with his uncle for fifteen minutes.

The feeling of oppression was so suffocating.

"Ichiro, you mean you tried your best?" the master asked.

"yes."

"He only used one hand-changing knife?"

"yes."

Ohuchi Xun nodded slightly and turned to look at his junior brother: "Junior brother, what do you think?"

Yugiri looked at Shimizu Ichiro and said: "Pick up your sword, think of me as him, and use the moves you did that day again."

Shimizu Ichiro was hesitating when he suddenly noticed that his uncle's eyes changed, as if an invisible force hit his chest. He suddenly felt depressed and hurriedly bowed and said: "Yes."

Shimizu Ichiro stood up and picked up the weapon beside him.

Gather your strength and hold your sword.

"All your strength!" Uncle Master said coldly.

Shimizu Ichiro's temperament also changed accordingly, like a sharp blade unsheathed, swiping at his uncle.

He was very aware of his uncle's strength and character, so he didn't dare to hold back at all.

However……

Before his sword even got close to his uncle, he heard a "thud" sound, his hands burst with pain, and the blue-black Iai sword flew out of his hands.

When he came back to his senses, he found his uncle slowly retracting his right hand as if nothing had happened.

Just now, the master uncle flicked his Iai sword away with his bare hands!

Shimizu Ichiro stepped aside and stood still with a bow.

If Qian Quan still needs to borrow stainless steel chopsticks to catch his knife, then Master Shishu is already a step ahead by snapping his fingers with his bare hands.

"In your opinion, can that Chinese boy do it?" Master asked with a smile.

"He absolutely can't do it," Ichiro Shimizu asserted.

"Well, you go back first."

"yes."

Ichiro Shimizu picked up his sword, bowed and left the courtyard.

"Are you going to China?" Isao Ohuchi asked with a smile on his face.

"Go there, but don't do anything."

"Why?"

"There is an old saying in China, 'Know yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious in a hundred battles.' So I wanted to meet him first."

"Then?"

"Then I will declare a challenge to the Chinese martial arts community in front of the whole world."

Okawachi Isao smiled and said, "Are you going to do this in the end?"

"You have to do it, otherwise, my grandfather and father will have a hard time resting in peace."

"Many Japanese martial arts originated from China, and the status of master and disciple is not all about their quick words."

"There is an old saying in China that says, 'Disciples need not be inferior to their teachers.' Think about it 80 years ago, if the United States and Russia had not intervened, disciples would have replaced teachers."

"This time, that time, Japan today..."

"The more this is the case, the more necessary it is to do this." Igarashi Yugiri smiled meaningfully, "Back then, China, in order to boost national aspirations, smashed the 'Sick Man of East Asia' brand, but it created many martial arts masters.

He compiled many heroic stories.

"Now that times have changed, it's time for us to do this. This time I not only want to defeat Qian Quan, but also the entire Chinese martial arts world!

"Even in the tide of the times, it can no longer reverse anything."
