Chapter 60: Go to the Negotiations
(Ask for collection, the third more send, the recommended votes are too few, I can't bear to look at it, I ask you to vote for the little brother after 0:00, thank you!)
"Hey, Brother Lin, what's the matter with me?"
Ye Chen dialed a phone call, and within a few seconds, the other party was connected.
"Haha, Jin Guliang, I must have a happy event looking for you!" Lin Wensheng said with a hearty smile on the phone.
"What's the happy thing, Brother Lin is so happy?" Ye Chen smiled and quipped.
"Brother, you're going to make a fortune again! Your "Sea of Clouds" has a TV station that wants to make it into a TV series, and someone on the other side contacted me just now, and asked me for your contact information, so I gave it, and it is estimated that someone from the TV station will be looking for you soon!" Lin Wensheng was very happy on the other end of the phone, and spoke eloquently, with a tone of envy.
You must know that although he has written books for so many years and is somewhat famous in the martial arts circle, no book can be adapted. The fact that a one-step novel can be adapted into a TV series is also an affirmation of the author, and his fame will increase greatly, which will of course be enviable.
"Uh, which TV station?Modu?" Ye Chen was shocked when he heard the news that "Sea of Clouds" was going to be adapted into a TV series, and asked casually.
Sometimes when he is idle, he will be bored thinking about when "Sea of Clouds" will be made into a TV series, but he didn't expect such a news to come today, and he was naturally surprised and had mixed feelings. As for what he thought was Modu TV, it was because when Sister Liu was on a blind date a few months ago, Uncle Liu said at the table banquet that Modu TV had the intention to make "Sea of Clouds" into a TV series.
"It's Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations! It belongs to the top ten big guys in the national TV station, and the strength is there. Lin Wensheng said on the phone.
"Oh, then I'll wait for the other party's news! When I have time to go to Beijing, I'll ask you to drink. Hearing that it was Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations, Ye Chen had a bottom in his heart and said with a smile.
"Hehe, okay, my brother is waiting for your wine, oh, by the way, I called you just now, and it was your sister who answered the phone just now. Didn't your sister know that you used the pseudonym "Jin Guliang" to write novels?"
"What? My sister answered the phone just now?" Ye Chen was stunned for a moment and said.
"Yes, she said it was your sister. Lin Wensheng said casually on the phone.
"Then did you say what you missed? My sister still doesn't know that I use Jin Guliang's pen name to write novels!" Ye Chen felt something abnormal, looked back into the living room, and found that there was no one in the living room, and Sister Liu didn't know why she went.
"As soon as I opened my mouth, I poured out all the news just now and hung up!" Lin Wensheng told what had just happened.
"Oh, okay, that's it for now, when there is news from Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations, I'll talk to you again!" Ye Chen listened, and probably had a bottom in his heart, so he said a few words to Lin Wensheng and hung up the phone.
After making the call, Ye Chen returned to the living room, and at this time, Sister Liu came out of her room with something in her hand.
Ye Chen looked at Sister Liu, paying attention to whether her expression was abnormal, and he suspected that Sister Liu already knew his details.
However, if you know it, you will know it, and it is not an unsightly thing.
"Come, Xiao Chen, you bring this mask, you have a cold, don't infect others. Sister Liu held a gray-blue mask in her hand, handed it to Ye Chen, and said with a smile.
"Wear it now, I can't suffocate to death when I sleep that night!" Ye Chen felt that Sister Liu's smile seemed to have a hint of ill will, and asked suspiciously.
"I'll just let you try. Sister Liu continued to smile unhappily.
"Oh. Ye Chen took the mask and put it on.
"Don't stand still", Sister Liu suddenly took out her mobile phone and faced Ye Chen.
"Sister, stop playing, what are you taking pictures of?" Ye Chen thought that Sister Liu was taking pictures.
At this time, Sister Liu glanced at him, then at her mobile phone, and said with a smile: "Tsk, it's really like!"
"What?" Ye Chen didn't understand what Sister Liu was doing.
"No, see for yourself. Sister Liu handed the phone to Ye Chen, looking at him with a meaningful smile.
Ye Chen took the phone and looked at it, and found that the phone was a photo of himself, but it was not his current one, but his photo at the Beijing New Book Signing.
He instantly understood, Sister Liu already knew that he was Jin Guliang, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister, you know everything?"
"Jin Da writer, don't come to harm!" Sister Liu smiled, the accent of the last word, and then quietly grabbed Ye Chen's ear, as if smiling.
"Sister, I was wrong!"
The next day, as expected, someone from Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV called Ye Chen, and it was a director surnamed Xia.
Director Xia invited Ye Chen to come to Nan City, Jiangsu Province tomorrow to negotiate the transfer of the TV adaptation rights of "Yunhai Jade Bow Edge" and related work adaptation agreements on the phone.
Ye Chen also happily agreed, so he booked a ticket to fly to Nan City, Jiangnan, at two o'clock in the afternoon on the same day, and flew to Jiangnan.
After arriving in Jiangnan City, he stayed in a hotel relatively close to Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations for one night.
Early the next morning, he went to the Jiangsu-Zhejiang TV Tower at the agreed time.
After arriving, it was Director Xia Shan who came to greet him on the phone.
After the two entered the Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV station, Director Xia Shan took him to a reception room, where there was a long table and about a dozen people were seated.
"Welcome to Mr. Jin Guliang, a famous domestic martial arts writer!"
Xia Shan's guide said a word, and everyone present applauded and welcomed, which was just a simple polite etiquette
"Mr. Jin, this is the director of our TV production group, Director Wang. Director Xia Shan introduced a middle-aged man sitting at the head, with a bald head and a round face, who looked more festive.
"Hello, Mr. Kim, I have long admired the Daimyo. Director Wang got up and shook hands with Ye Chen.
"Don't dare to be, Director Wang is promoted. Ye Chen has seen some scenes, and he has already figured out the basic etiquette of public communication.
"Please take a seat, let's talk!" Director Wang pointed to the seat next to him, and Ye Chen thanked him and sat down.
Next, Ye Chen began to negotiate with the other party on the transfer of the TV adaptation rights of "Sea of Clouds" and related adaptation agreements.
Because it was the first time to negotiate with the buyer and seller about the transfer of the film and television adaptation rights of the novel, I had already asked Lin Wensheng about relevant issues before I came, so as not to be cheated on myself and the work.
The seller, that is, Ye Chen, should recognize the IP value of his work and have his own psychological price, and then negotiate with the buyer to give a price that both parties can afford.
Of course, this is a business thing.
The second aspect is the agreement related to the adaptation of the novel, which mainly tends to the requirements of both parties when adapting the novel.
For example, if Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations ask to change the ending of "Sea of Clouds" to a happy ending, it will have to seek Jin Guliang's consent in advance. If the work in the original work is modified without consent, and it is not covered in the agreement related to the adaptation of the work, the original author has the right to sue the buyer.
