I Can Read Unlimited Files

To be honest, this news surprised Liu Huaxing. He actually has no confidence in his book. Although it is very innovative in terms of plot, after all, it is an idea brought back from ten years later, but his writing style and narrative methods are very ordinary, so it is already surprising that it can be published, let alone Said to be taken by a certain director.

However, he is not afraid of anything, let alone a director, even if the President of the United States comes in front of him, he will not panic. What's more, at this juncture, this matter came at the right time. If the negotiation can be reached, the final copyright fee should be able to fill the debt owed by his father outside.

But it is not surprising that some people want to adapt his story. This kind of time-traveling type of story will be very popular in the next few years. The idea of ​​Liu Huaxing's story may be a bit clichéd ten years later, but it is refreshing today, and the ending of the story is also very literary, so it is not surprising that some directors like it.

Judging from the release time of the movie in the future, the time to pick the script happened to be within these two years.

Of course, Liu Huaxing still had to inform his parents and Yang Xiaoxiao about this.

"Director?" At noon that day, Yang Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyes widened after hearing Liu Huaxing's explanation. "Not only is my Xingxing's book published, but it will also be adapted into a movie? This is really amazing."

"Then why don't you kiss your amazing boyfriend?" Liu Huaxing teased, Yang Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and smiled, leaned over and kissed him hard on the mouth, then touched his head and said with a smile: "I'm happy Right? What a silly star..."

With that said, Yang Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Then when are you going to talk to them?"

"This Saturday, do you want to go with me?" Liu Huaxing asked curiously.

"Hmm..." Yang Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "Actually, I don't really want to go, but I don't want to be separated from you."

"That's how it is." Liu Huaxing smiled, "You wait for me at home, and I will go to your house to find you after I finish chatting with them."

"emmmm..." Yang Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, pursed her fiery red lips in thought, and finally replied after a while: "Okay then, but you can't leave me alone for too long, okay?"

"No, I'll make an appointment with them at eight o'clock on Saturday morning. I'll choose a place closer to our home. It shouldn't take long. After the talk is over, I'll buy breakfast and go to your house to find You should be there before ten o'clock." Liu Huaxing said, stroking Yang Xiaoxiao's little head, "Then let's have breakfast together and tell you the result by the way."

"Then, do you want to go to a hotel this weekend?" Yang Xiaoxiao asked with her beautiful eyes blinking.

"Do you want to do it again?" Liu Huaxing gently lifted her chin and teased, Yang Xiaoxiao pouted and muttered: "Because I don't have fun at all at noon, I can only barely eat a fast food... I really want to go crazy with you for hours."

As she said that, Yang Xiaoxiao asked curiously: "Don't you want me? I thought boys were more in demand."

"Of course I do, I'm just pretending to be prudish, don't take it seriously. Is there any reason why you don't want such a beautiful girlfriend?" Liu Huaxing said with a smile, scratching Yang Xiaoxiao's nose. Yang Xiaoxiao squinted at him angrily, and lay down in his arms: "I'll take a nap, okay? Don't tease me. If I want to, I'll skip class in the afternoon and take you to the hotel."

"Yes, little ancestor." Liu Huaxing kissed the back of her head and honestly took a nap with his arms around Yang Xiaoxiao.

Recently, the pressure of studying has gradually increased. Liu Huaxing is also very busy every day, and has less and less time to deal with chores.

On Saturday, Liu Huaxing met with the manager of the entertainment company at the appointed place.

The place they agreed on was a newly opened coffee shop not far behind Yang Xiaoxiao's house. It was time for breakfast, and there were not many customers in it. It was more suitable for those who like quiet or those who want to talk about business.

When he came to the designated table, Liu Huaxing saw a middle-aged woman wearing a red beret and sunglasses, sitting next to a young woman in a black suit and short skirt, who should be the director and manager . Liu Huaxing took the opportunity to look at the middle-aged woman. She was about fifty years old and was relatively thin, but she was in good spirits, and the color scheme on her body seemed very artistic, otherwise she wouldn't be in the 40-degree high temperature. Still wearing a hat. And beside her was a book of his.

He thought that this should be the director who took a fancy to his novel. As for the agent next to him, he was about twenty-four or five years old, with average facial features, and his skin color was not very fair. He might be a little darker than ordinary yellow people. She didn't wear any makeup on her face, she was quite a simple girl. But when she stood up, Liu Huaxing found that her figure was quite impressive...

Seeing Liu Huaxing approaching and preparing to sit down opposite the two of them, the manager stood up and smiled, but said something that made Liu Huaxing stunned on the spot: "Sorry, there are people here."

Liu Huaxing was stunned for a moment, realizing that she might not have thought that he would be the author, so he smiled and said, "Didn't you guys ask me to come here? You said on the phone before that you were very sincere, but when I came, you guys came here again." Chase me away."

Now it was the other two's turn to be surprised. They looked at Liu Huaxing in a daze and asked, "Are you Zifeiyu?"

Liu Huaxing nodded. At that time, the two exchanged glances with each other, apparently not quite believing it.

"But..." the director said in disbelief, "your style of writing, the emotions expressed in it, and your behavior are all so mature, with an adult taste. It doesn't look like an eighteen-year-old at all. A child can have an idea."

As he said that, the director opened his book and flipped through it: "The male and female protagonists in your work are both in their early twenties, and in the end when the male protagonist finds that there is no way to change the fate of the female protagonist, he resolutely chooses not to change the world." Going to die with her under the premise... This kind of plot is not like what a child of your age can think of."

"Maybe... I have experienced a lot." Liu Huaxing smiled wryly. The director squinted at him and shook his head, "I don't believe it. Generally, the plots that children of your age come up with should be about saving the world..."

"It's true, you can ask the publisher." Liu Huaxing replied with a smile, "Do you need me to contact you?"

"Oh, no no no." The director smiled, "I don't mean that I don't believe you wrote this book, I just can't understand why you have such thoughts that are beyond your age."

Liu Huaxing thought for a while and replied: "I have a girl I love deeply. Although we are only eighteen years old, we have known each other for five years and dated for two years. I often imagine our future life together with her, Thinking of places far and far away, thinking of us getting married and having children, thinking of having a full house of children and grandchildren, thinking of growing old together... Maybe it's because of this?"

"Oh—" the director raised his hands and smiled, "Young and hot love, this kind of feeling is really good, isn't it?"

Liu Huaxing nodded, and the two introduced themselves to him. The manager shook hands with him and said, "Hi, this is the director Ye Hongmei, and I'm her manager Xu Ying. Just like I said before Yes, our purpose was to adapt your work, but... we did not expect our author to be so young. Please forgive our faux pas."

Then, the two sides began to negotiate. The other party probably thought that he was a child and was afraid that he would not understand, so they explained their intentions to him straight to the point, and then showed him some of Ye Hongmei's works and a sample contract.

To put it simply, the other party intends to adapt his work. Adapting his work into a script suitable for filming will involve a lot of work, because some psychological changes cannot be shown on the screen, but the main plot will remain unchanged. . In this regard, Liu Huaxing is completely acceptable, after all, he didn't have much confidence in his writing and narrative techniques.

As for Ye Hongmei's works... To be honest, Liu Huaxing has never read any of them. They are all more literary and realistic, not suitable for young people.

Therefore, he next looked at the contract aspect. In fact, it depends on the copyright fee. There are two ways to pay the fee: one is to pay a fixed copyright fee. After that, whether the performance of the movie is good or bad, it has nothing to do with him. If you take this copyright fee, you are done. ; The other is sharing, according to the actual box office of the movie to divide the copyright fee.

Liu Huaxing must have chosen the first option. With a fixed copyright fee, he is not a gambler, nor is he greedy.

The key is that it will take a long time to wait for the box office to come out. First, it will take several months to adapt the script, then it will take casting and sponsorship, and then the filming location must be determined. It takes about a year for a movie to be shot, and then it has to be submitted for review, and then it is allowed to be released after review, and the box office will be counted after three months of release.

In other words, it will take two years to get the money.

What's more, he is not particularly optimistic about the box office. He can only get about 2% from the box office, but he can get 200,000 directly from the copyright fee, and about 160,000 after tax. In exchange for the box office share, because nearly half of the box office has to be paid to the theater, and the remaining half is given to the crew, so it takes nearly 100 million box office to get the same money. It is not an easy task for Ye Hongmei, a director who is also not very famous, to earn over 100 million at the box office.

After all, it's an adaptation, and it's an unknown author, so the box office share can only be 2%. If it is a script written by the director himself, or a well-known screenwriter, the share may be as high as 10% to 30%. At this time, it is more cost-effective to choose the box office share. For an author like him who is not yet well-known, he can just get a fixed copyright fee honestly.

Therefore, Liu Huaxing chose to sign the former contract, that is, the entertainment company will directly pay a fee to buy the adaptation rights of his works. Of course, after that, the other party also asked him some detailed requirements, such as whether there is any actor he particularly likes, and he hopes that a certain actor will play a certain role in his work. These crews can negotiate.

Liu Huaxing also knows that this is the stage where unspoken rules are most likely to occur, but he is not interested. The entertainment industry is too chaotic, he will never get involved in it.

However, writing a screenplay is indeed a good route. He can easily make money by relying on his own future ideas, without having to set foot in the entertainment industry himself, and it doesn't take much time. Although fame takes time to accumulate, it can be used as a sideline outside of his main university mission. Maybe ten years later, the fame he has accumulated will make him a well-known screenwriter?

After negotiating the contract immediately, Liu Huaxing chose to sign with them. After the process is completed and the tax is paid, the money will be transferred to his bank card, which will take about a week. After tax, you can get 150,000 to 60,000 yuan, which just makes up for the gap in their family's finances.

However, after counting the money, 50,000 of it will be returned to Yang Xiaoxiao's family and Hao Qian, and the remaining 100,000 is just used to repay the interest of the usury, which may leave him with 20,000 to 30,000, but the rest The money is definitely not enough for him to pay the down payment for buying a house after graduating from high school. And this matter is what he promised Yang Chengzhi, he has to find a way to do it.

At present, there is no need to go to the sky in one step. He is very satisfied now that this gap has been filled. The key is to go back and share the good news with his family and Yang Xiaoxiao first. He still has a year to settle the down payment, so there's nothing to worry about, after all, he can't become fat with one bite. What is certain is that writing a book will always accompany him in his life.

After negotiating the contract, it was exactly 9:30, Liu Huaxing came to the Minsheng breakfast shop to buy breakfast and came to Yang Xiaoxiao's house.

"Xingxing..." When she opened the door, Yang Xiaoxiao was so sleepy that she hadn't woken up yet.

"Hey, you little strawberry." Liu Huaxing poked the little girl's forehead angrily, "You really slept till now? Why don't you get up early, it's almost ten o'clock!"

"Hey... you'll be hungry if you get up early." Yang Xiaoxiao hugged his waist coquettishly, her lazy appearance was so beautiful.

Liu Huaxing put the breakfast aside, looked around and asked curiously: "Where is Auntie? Are you alone at home today?"

"Well... my mother went to give warmth to the lonely old people on behalf of the community." Yang Xiaoxiao nodded and muttered, then looked up at him with a smirk, "Do you want to send it? She won't come back before noon oh?"

"Isn't it only two hours before noon?! Hurry up and brush your teeth!" Liu Huaxing reprimanded, and slapped her on the buttocks.

"You vicious..." Yang Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and muttered, rubbing the spot on her butt that was photographed.

Right now Yang Xiaoxiao was wearing a loose T-shirt with only underwear underneath, so it was quite fleshy and very elastic. Liu Huaxing recalled the feeling for a while.

"How did the talk go? What's the result?" Yang Xiaoxiao muttered inarticulately while brushing her teeth in the bathroom.

"Two hundred thousand." Liu Huaxing replied simply, and set the breakfast on the table one by one.

"Isn't it possible to pay off uncle's debt?" Yang Xiaoxiao poked her head out of the bathroom and asked with some joy.

"Yeah, I can make a little more." Liu Huaxing sighed, "It's just the right thing to do. But the down payment for the house hasn't been settled yet, so I have to use my brains to earn extra money this year. "

"But it's the third year of high school? I'm getting more and more busy, so I don't have so much time." Yang Xiaoxiao twisted a towel and wiped her face, and Liu Huaxing smiled wryly: "Yeah... But there is always a way Yes, don't worry."

"Hey." Yang Xiaoxiao looked at him with a smirk, Liu Huaxing lifted her chin and asked, "What are you so silly about?"

"I'm happy to see you..." Yang Xiaoxiao pouted and said, Liu Huaxing tasted the little strawberry before Yang Xiaoxiao continued: "Don't worry, my dad can understand you about the down payment of the house, even if it's true If he didn’t do it, he wouldn’t break us up either. Otherwise, he wouldn’t lend money to uncle this time either.”

"I know..." Liu Huaxing said, stroking her cheek, "but we still have to do what we said."

Two more tomorrow
