Chapter 40, Halloween Eve
Ye Kai really hopes that the stories he writes will appear on TV or even on the big screen of the movie theater.
A story was written by Ye Kai in the dark, from the original idea to a complete story, and then turned into words and was printed. Finally, he became a real person and appeared on TV.
This process, just thinking about it made Ye Kai very excited.
In fact, not only Ye Kai, anyone who writes stories hopes that their works can be adapted into film and television works. Ye Kai waited for a long time, but no film and television company contacted him.
In a café, Ye Kai met Cai Zhengming.
Cai Zhengming's hair is combed up, with a big back, but it is a little shorter than Fa Ge's hair, very thin, about 1.7 meters tall, but his weight is estimated to be only more than 100 catties.
He took a sip of coffee and smiled bitterly: "Teacher Ye, you can make it easy for me to find." ”
"What's wrong?" Ye Kai asked.
"You left a phone number in the work, but you couldn't get through. Although the website has contacted us, it has refused to help inform you, and the publisher is busy selling your new book, so it can't be contacted. And I really like the story of Sword and Fairy, so I can only find you in Ireland. ”
Qishi.com was put on the spot by Ye Kai, and he would definitely not help Ye Kai contact the film and television company, after all, they don't have copyrights, and they can't make money if they sell them, and the publishing house is relatively small, and the editor-in-chief has been traveling for the distribution of goods.
Own mobile phone...... All right. Ye Kai forgot that he turned on a stranger's call and refused to answer, his phone was once written in the comment area of Qishi.com, if you don't turn on this function, there are many netizens who call yourself.
"It's because I'm not thinking about it, I should have talked to the publisher. Ye Kai said sorry, he didn't expect that someone would come to Ireland from China to find him.
But it also shows that they value their book.
"Teacher Ye, I won't beat around the bush, after all, I found you to adapt the matter of the fairy sword, and we can find a little shooting if we implement it earlier, what do you say. ”
Cai Zhengming is very anxious, he is estimated to be the person who wants to win the copyright of the fairy sword in the world, he likes this story too much, and his intuition tells him that it will definitely be popular.
It was his last bet.
"I thought so too. Ye Kai sat down and asked: "This is my first book, and it is the first time I have come into contact with the matter of adaptation and licensing, I don't know much about it, can you introduce it to me." ”
"It's a matter of duty. Cai Zhengming said.
If Ye Kai signed a contract with Kishi.com, then Kishi.com will help you negotiate the contract. If it weren't for the fact that the website would send you some of the money through the backend, the author wouldn't even know that the copyright of his work had been acquired.
For a popular work, the film and television copyright is generally at the level of tens of millions.
It is impossible to let Han Film and Television spend 10 million to buy fairy swords, they expect that the last 10 million can turn the tables and give Han Film and Television a few more years of life.
So they can only talk to Ye Kai about the adaptation authorization, this is a one-time thing, it can only be filmed once, the copyright is actually still in Ye Kai's hands, and it can be sold to others for filming in the future.
But Ye Kai didn't like this.
Or there's another option, which is to talk to them about revenue sharing.
The adaptation rights of Fairy Sword Film and Television were handed over to them, and Ye Kai would get the percentage of income stipulated in the contract for any income from Fairy Sword in the future.
After spending two hours discussing, the two drew up a contract, and as a result of adding 10% to 2 million Huaxia coins, Ye Kai sold the film and television rights of Xianjian.
Cai Zhengming watched Ye Kai sign the contract, he breathed a sigh of relief, the stone hanging in his heart finally fell, he felt that Ye Kai was very good at talking.
Ye Kai heard Cai Zhengming talk about the situation of his company, he can not believe in Han film and television, but he believes in his works, so he is willing to give Han film and television opportunities.
By the time the two separated, it was already dark.
This café is not far from Saoirse's house, so Ye Kai did not take a taxi, but walked back from the street, and after a few days, Ye Kai became a native of Ireland.
Most shops don't prepare for Halloween.
The main event location of Halloween is in the community, or in the park, such as St. Stephen's Park, where Ye Kai lived before.
Although Halloween is dominated by children, it is also the most relaxing day for adults.
No matter how serious it is at other times, you don't have to think about it so much on this day, change into the secondary two clothes you've always wanted to wear, put on a mask or put on heavy makeup.
Don't think about whether it's too shameful to dress like this, because the people out there will be stranger than you.
Ye Kai was still thinking about tomorrow's activities, and when he walked to an iron gate, a miserable scream rang out.
"Wow Ka Ka Ka Ka!!"
A skeleton!!
The black clothes hunted in the cold wind, and there was no body in the clothes, not even feet, thirty centimeters above the ground, floating in the air, making a strange cry.
Ye Kai's face changed at that time, he was scared into a cold sweat, and he took a few steps back directly.
The legend can't be true, right?
Taking a few deep breaths, Ye Kai silently recited the core values of socialism, and the more he thought about it, the more strange he became, how could there be these gods and strange things in the real world, so he walked over again.
"Wow Ka Ka Ka Ka!!"
The green skull face lit up again, this time Ye Kai didn't hide, staring at the grimace seriously.
Fake, what makes the skull's face light up is the green light hidden behind him.
A few steps back, the lights went out. Walking up again, the sound effects and lights come back on.
(ˉ▽ ̄~) cut ~~. ”
This is a private house, and the road Ye Kai walked outside the walls of this private house, and their gates are two black iron gates. The skeletal face was fastened to the iron door, and the clothes were black sheets.
As soon as someone comes within two meters of the skeleton, he lights up and lets out a weird laugh.
Frightened by this, Ye Kai always felt that the road tonight was very gloomy.
When she got home, Saoirse ate pizza at night and left half of it for Ye Kai, but it was cold now. She was sitting on the couch with her legs crossed, watching TV, eating chocolate.
"Buy so much sugar?" Ye Kai asked.
"It's going to be sent to the children tomorrow, otherwise some bear children will really mischievous and annoy people. ”
She dropped the chocolates on the table, jumped off the couch and said, "I've prepared clothes for you to wear tomorrow, and you can wear them to see if they fit." ”
Saoirse rummaged through the bag on the side for a long time, and pulled out a set of clothes that could only be seen in the movies, a handsome leather coat, and a long scarlet trench coat.
"Vampires?"
"yes. Saoirse nodded and said, "Look at it, you must be handsome in this kind of clothes, I'll put on some makeup for you, and I'll wait to shock the audience tomorrow night." ”
Ye Kai pointed to the bag containing the clothes and asked, "What about the other one?"
