Rebirth: Starting From the Confession

Chapter 26 Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills

Yang Zhen took a sip of the coffee, and the caffeine made his brain a little excited.

After quickly estimating the income of audio copyright, he looked like: "Mr. Fang, even so, the price of 1.8 million is still too expensive. Why don't you do it like this, I will make the price to 150 thousand words, what do you think? "

"150 thousand words? Then I might as well choose to share."

Fang Yi laughed dumbly, and then continued: "To be honest, these copyrights have been around for a few years, and if you take one out, it will cost more than 1.8 million."

"Who knows what will happen in a few years?" Yang Zhen said helplessly.

Fang Yi restrained his smile and said sternly: "Editor Yang, we don't have to play that trick. Let's be honest, my reserve price is 1.5 million. If Hongyan Publishing House can't accept it, then I can only try. Talk to another publisher."

The advantage of holding the initiative is highlighted. He has many choices, and there is only one copy of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

For the sake of saying it, Yang Zhen also knew that he had to make a decision as soon as possible.

After taking a deep breath, he said, "Mr. Fang, I can't make up my mind about this price. You wait a moment, and I'll make a call."

After that, Yang Zhen got up and walked out of the cafe.

After leaving the coffee shop, he took out the Motorola 998 in his pocket and dialed a number.

The phone was quickly connected, and Yang Zhen opened his mouth and said, "Lao Ning, I want to ask you something?"

"What's up?"

On the other end of the phone is the God of Fortune.

Both are editors-in-chief of their respective companies and partners, so their relationship is naturally not bad.

He often chats on weekdays, and Yang Zhen knows that he has unique insights into the script and film and television, so he explained the general situation of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and then asked: "Do you think "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is in the film and television adaptation. What's the profit like?"

"I'm very optimistic!"

On the other end of the phone, Cui Caishen analyzed: "I said before that the essence of this book is to explore treasures, and based on this, it is very suitable for adaptation. Even if you have not read the original book, it will not affect the viewing experience. ."

"And you said that he wrote a total of eight films, each of which is interrelated and almost an independent story, which is even better. It can be made into a series of movies, just like a series of blockbusters abroad."

After listening silently, Yang Zhen asked again, "Then how much do you think the film and television copyrights will sell for in a few years?"

"Who can say for sure, but after all, the popularity of this book is there, it is guaranteed, and the price will definitely not be low." When it comes to money, Cui Caishen is more cautious.

"Okay, I got it!"

Yang Zhen nodded and thanked: "Thanks Lao Cui, I'll invite you back for a drink."

"Halle, invite me when you come back, I'll hang up first if it's nothing!"

After hanging up the phone, Yang Zhen didn't stay outside much, turned around and returned to the cafe.

After sitting down opposite Fang Yi again, Yang Zhen said sternly: "Mr. Fang, I discussed with the leader just now. He thinks the price of 1.5 million is still a bit high. What do you think of 1.3 million?"

Gee!

That's an extra $300,000.

Fang Yi held back his smile and said in a tough tone: "1.4 million, this is the lowest price. If your publishing house still can't accept it, then I can only express regret."

"Mr. Fang, our publishing house has to take a lot of risks in acquiring these copyrights from you."

The two looked at each other and scolded each other old fox, little fox in their hearts.

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills!

The two bargained for a while, and finally set the price at 1.35 million!

Don't underestimate this 50,000 yuan, which is equivalent to half a set of commercial housing in the urban area.

After the price was determined, the two began to discuss the details of the contract. For example, Yang Zhen demanded that the remaining six parts of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" should be completed within half a year, otherwise they would demand compensation.

Correspondingly, Fang Yi also put forward a request that after the contract is signed, the publisher must transfer the 1.35 million buyout fee to its own account within three working days.

The contract was not fully negotiated until two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Mr. Fang, do you have anything else to add?" Yang Zhen said, handing over the contract.

After taking the contract, Fang Yi took a closer look.

The publishing contract is directly regulated by national law, so it is not complicated. The rights and interests of all parties are clear, unlike the commercial contracts of later generations, which often span dozens or hundreds of pages.

After confirming that the contract was fine, Fang Yi smiled and said, "I have nothing to add!"

"If that's the case, then ask Mr. Fang to sign it!"

Yang Zhen said and handed over a pen.

The contract is in duplicate, and Fang Yi signs his name on it. The two contracts will be brought back to Magic City together. After stamping the official seal of the publisher, a contract receipt will be mailed to Fang Yi.

Shaking hands again, Yang Zhen packed up the contract and manuscript, got up and said, "Mr. Fang, it's a pleasure to cooperate, let's go first!"

"Then I won't leave you all, be careful on the road." Fang Yi smiled.

The three of them came to the bar to pay, Fang Yi said, "The waiter pays the bill!"

"The three people spent 218 yuan and 50 cents this time!"

It has to be said that the consumption here is really high. The three of them had something to eat at noon, and it would cost more than 200 yuan including two cups of coffee and orange juice.

It is equivalent to a quarter of the old party's monthly salary.

Hearing this, Yang Zhen took a step forward and took out his wallet to settle the account.

From the previous conversation, I learned that Fang Yi has just graduated from high school, and looking at his clothes, he knows that his family is not rich. So I paid first to avoid Fang Yi's embarrassment.

"Editor Yang, I'm really sorry, I have to invite you to treat me all the way here."

Fang Yi behaved very generously, and did not slap the swollen face hard on the fat man.

Yang Zhen smiled heartily: "Haha, it's fine. Next time Mr. Fang comes to the magic capital, just remember to invite me."

No one would laugh at Fang Yi foolishly, even the cafe waiter knew that after today, he would be worth a million dollars.

In the millennium, who dares to laugh at an 18-year-old millionaire who makes money on his own?

"goodbye!"

Watching Santana disappear at the end of the street, Fang Yi got on his bicycle and drove towards his community with satisfaction.

The first pot of gold, get it! *
