Chapter 180: Ask Ding Qianwen for advice
"Director Zhang, how do I feel that you are very interested in Li Mo's new novel?" Although Lin Xi's brain is not good, this does not prevent her from having a keen sixth sense as a girl.
Zhang Lintian said with a smile: "I won't tell you, my eyes lit up as soon as I saw Xiao Li's book." I asked you to come to dinner in the evening, first, to give him Xiao Li's reward, and secondly, to talk to him about the tomb robbery records. ”
"What's there to talk about that kind of scary novel?" Lin Xi pouted, and pinched a piece of fat intestine to suppress the shock.
Li Mo couldn't help but be curious: "Director Zhang, what did you mean by what you just said?"
Zhang Lintian took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, "I have an idea, I want to buy the film and television adaptation rights of your novel, and pull some investors to drum up this drama, I feel that it can be popular." ”
When Lin Xi heard this, he instantly felt that the fat sausage in his mouth was not fragrant.
Some of the things that Li Mo's stinky fart guy wrote casually were actually appreciated by Zhang Lintian, and he also said that he would be adapted into a film and television drama.
"Director Zhang, is what you said true?How much money are you going to give him?" Lin Xi looked at Zhang Lintian with a blank eye.
"I was originally going to give 50,000 yuan to Li Mo, but if the novel is blocked, there will be fewer fans of the novel, and the value of the script will be discounted. I'll pay 30,000 yuan to buy the film and television adaptation rights of the novel behind you, Xiao Li, what do you think?"
Li Mo's heart was beating fast when he heard this, whether it was 50,000 or 30,000, it was an astronomical amount for him.
His mentality has not yet been freed from his former poor boy identity.
Of course, there was also Lin Xi who embezzled his manuscript fee, so that he didn't know that he had 8,000 manuscript fees a month alone.
If he knew this information, he would have a preliminary judgment of his novel, so that he would not have his heart beating more than 30,000 or 50,000 yuan.
"Thank you, Director Zhang,..."
Li Mo said half of it, and was about to agree to Zhang Lintian's suggestion, after all, 30,000 yuan is already a huge amount of money for him, and Zhang Lintian is also kind to him, and it is nothing to sell the film and television adaptation rights to Zhang Lintian, a well-known director.
But he was only halfway through his words, but Lin Xi suddenly interrupted him.
She smiled and said to Zhang Lintian: "Director Zhang, you are too good to Li Mo, I am a little envious, but for such an important matter, Li Mo must discuss it with his family." Li Mo, do you think so?"
Li Mo was about to say that he didn't need to discuss it with his family, but suddenly felt that someone under the table was teasing his legs.
He was not a fool, he knew that this was Lin Xi reminding himself, so he immediately changed his words and said: "Director Zhang, I have to discuss what you said with my parents." ”
Zhang Lintian didn't doubt it, and he didn't expect Lin Xi to remind Li Mo with his legs under the table that in his impression, although Li Mo was very mature, he was only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old half-old child after all.
Selling the copyright is such an important matter as it really needs to be discussed with his family.
"It's that I'm not thoughtful, wait for Xiao Li to discuss it with your family, and we'll talk about it." ”
After eating and saying goodbye to Zhang Lintian, Lin Xi pulled Li Mo and said that he would go to his hotel room to talk about things.
"Can't you talk about anything here?" Li Mo didn't go home for the past two days, although he didn't have a good impression of that cold home, but he didn't go back for two days and still wanted to go back to see.
"If you are told to go, you will go where you are so much. Lin Xi glared at him, she was doing it for Li Mo's good, this stinky boy didn't appreciate it.
"Can you give a reason?" Li Mo thought that she was asking herself to update the novel in the past, and she was reluctant. He has updated a lot in the past two days. If you do the same thing too much, you will get bored, plus his updated novels are not written by himself. So even if I write it, I don't feel much sense of accomplishment.
Lin Xi glanced at him and snorted: "Of course, I am looking for Wenwen to give you a staff officer and a matter of your book copyright." What happened to you just now, as soon as he said yes, are you very familiar with him? Aren't you afraid that he will lie to you? Also, do you know a lot about copyright? Just think about saying yes?"
Lin Xi's series of questions made Li Mo's impression of her instantly change. He didn't expect Lin Xi, a silly-looking girl, to have such a shrewd side.
"What is your expression now, I said it, right?" Lin Xi glared at him, "My father told me when I was very young, no matter what happens, I must try to discuss with them before making a decision. ”
Li Mo was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Lin Xi's complacent appearance, only then did he understand that it was not Lin Xi who was shrewd at all, but Lin Xi's father was shrewd enough. Knowing that his daughter's brain is not good, he took a preventive shot in advance.
"Your father knows you quite well!" Li Mole said with a smile.
"Yes, I'm my daddy's little padded jacket. "Lin Xi at this moment, it stinks.
When she arrived at the hotel, Ding Qianwen opened the door and found that Li Mo had actually followed, "You guys came back quite early, why, Xiao Mo still wants to update the novel?"
Lin Xi pushed Li Mo in, closed the door, and said mysteriously: "Wenwen, something big has happened." ”
"What's the big deal?" Ding Qianwen knew Lin Xi's character and knew that he was like this.
Director Zhang actually wanted to take 30,000 yuan to buy the film and television adaptation rights of Li Mo's horror novel. ”
Ding Qianwen heard the words and recalled the plot of the tomb robbery record, although Li Mo has updated very little at present, but he already has a certain outline.
Film and television adaptations seem to be feasible. What's more important is that this is a new theme, which can be regarded as a pioneering work. If the operation is good, I don't think it can be measured by 30,000 yuan.
Although they are now in a cooperative relationship with Zhang Lintian, Li Mo went to find the ruffians for them to ask for their lost boxes regardless of his own safety, and Ding Qianwen had long regarded Li Mo as his friend. But this friend seems to be a little small.
Therefore, he is thinking about the problem now from Li Mo's point of view.
"You didn't agree with Director Zhang, did you?" asked Ding Qianwen with a frown.
"Not yet, Li Mo almost agreed, but fortunately I stopped him in time. Wenwen, what do you think, is the adaptation right of his novel more than 30,000 yuan?" Lin Xi glanced at Li Mo with a serious face with disgust, "I guess, at least 100,000 yuan." Li Mo, if you buy 100,000 yuan for the copyright of your novel, remember to share half of it. ”
"Why do you want to divide you?" Li Mo glanced at him, wanting to let himself give him the money and dream.
"If I hadn't stopped you, wouldn't you have sold it for 30,000 yuan?" Lin Xi glared back.
Ding Qianwen interrupted the angry words of the two with a smile, "Don't quarrel." Lin Xi, your family is so rich, why do you care about these 50,000 yuan. Li Mo finally made money, so don't make trouble. ”
She didn't know that Lin Xi had cheated Li Mo's manuscript fee, and if she knew, she would definitely sue Lin Xi's mother as soon as possible.
This is already a matter of principle.
"Thank you, Sister Ding. Do you think I should accept Director Zhang?" Li Mo knew that Ding Qianwen was much more reliable than Lin Xi, so he could only ask her for advice.
Ding Qianwen thought for a while and responded: "It depends on what you think." If you want to make a quick buck, Director Zhang should accept about 100,000 yuan. But if you want to dig out the maximum value of this novel, selling the rights now is not the best choice. Judging by the reactions of readers in the comment section of your novel, it is only a matter of time before your novel becomes popular.
If you want to maximize your benefits, just wait for the novelty book and accumulate enough book fans, and then the film and television adaptation rights and other copyrights of the book will definitely not be comparable to the current tens of thousands of yuan. ”
