Chapter 145: A Flood of Arrivals
Jin Yong has been very busy recently, not ordinarily busy. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info due to the popularity of "Dragon Babu", the fame of the novel of the same name has greatly increased. Many readers want to buy a copy of the original novel to watch, only to find that the bookstore doesn't have it at all. Naturally, they inevitably had to complain to the store owner, and then these dealers found out that there was such a popular novel that they didn't have in their store. If you can't get along with anyone, don't get along with money. Then, the phone calls of major publishing houses were blown up by dealers who heard the news. They are eager to know which publishing house this "Dragon Babu" is actually published.
Readers look for distributors, distributors look for publishers, and publishers naturally look for authors. Seeing that the TV series is becoming more and more popular, this means that the potential of the novel of the same name is very large. Such potential stocks, as long as they are not blind, which publishing house will give up.
As a result, Jin Yong has been busy in the past few days. Calls from publishing houses have been answered one after another, including some of the top publishing houses in China. Naturally, there is only one purpose, and that is to publish "Tianlong Babu".
"Dragon Babu" has naturally been published before. It's a pity that Jin Yong was just a little-known martial arts novelist at that time, and in Xiangjiang, martial arts novelists grabbed a lot of them, and they were too many more famous than him. Fortunately, his works are excellent, although there are no connections, but the development is quite smooth. Step by step, he has grown from a little-known rookie writer to a well-known writer with more than a dozen works, and has also gained a foothold in the fiercely competitive place of Xiangjiang.
It is precisely because of the difficulty of getting ahead that Jin Yong did not have much choice in the choice of publishing house. When he was still a newcomer, he had to lower his requirements again and again in order to get his work published. In the end, a publishing house was chosen whose influence could only radiate to the entire Xiangjiang and surrounding areas. This is also the reason why it is difficult to see Jin Yong's works in other places.
Originally, Jin Yong's works had already been published, so naturally there was nothing to do with other publishing houses. But when he signed the agreement with the publishing house, Jin Yong already knew that the publishing house was not strong, so he naturally would not hang himself from a tree. The two sides made a treaty, and in areas where the publishing house could not radiate, Jin Yong could find another publishing house. It's a pity that due to Jin Yong's fame, he repeatedly hit a wall in the process of seeking other publishing houses, and finally gave up this idea, but what he didn't expect was that feng shui took turns, and this time it was the turn of these publishing houses to beg him.
Just finished a dinner, Jin Yong returned home a little drunk, but found that there were guests at home at some point.
"Yo, Mr. Cha is back." The guest was drinking tea at the door, and when he saw Jin Yong coming back, he hurriedly got up to greet him.
"Hello Mr. Cha, I am from Sugar Man Entertainment Company, my name is Cai Xing, this is my business card, I took the liberty to come here this time to talk to Mr. Cha about the film and television copyright of Mr. Cha's works." Among the three, the leader stepped forward, and his words were concise and clear, so that Jin Yong immediately understood their intentions.
Cai Xing is not very old, he should look less than thirty, tall and thin, well-dressed, and full of energy. Jin Yong took the business card he handed over and glanced at it: Cai Xing, deputy director of the film and television department of Sugar Man Entertainment Company.
Sugar Man Entertainment. Jin Yong thought about it for a while and seemed to be a little impressed. Although it is not an established company, it has sprung up in recent years and earned a lot of reputation in the industry. Moreover, the CEO of this company seems to be surnamed Cai. Jin Yong believes that this is definitely not a coincidence.
"That's right, please sit down first." Jin Yong put away his business card and stretched out his hand to ask. No matter what the group is here for, there is still a need for basic hospitality, and even more so they are here to talk about cooperation.
The three of them naturally nodded happily. After a few people sat down, Jin Yong spoke: "Mr. Cai, just now you said that you came here to talk to me about the film and television copyright of the work, I don't know which of my works you fancied?" ”
Jin Yong has a lot of works, and the famous one is none other than the fourteen works of "Flying Snow Shooting White Deer in the Sky, Laughing Book Hero Leaning on Bi Yuan". Naturally, it is impossible for Sugar Man Entertainment to eat them all, in Jin Yong's view, Sugar Man Entertainment is more likely to value one of his own works, just as Kyushu Entertainment took a fancy to "Dragon Babu" at the beginning.
"To be honest, Mr. Jin Yong's works can be called classics, if it is possible, our company really wants to buy them all, but unfortunately with the strength of our company, it is still a bit unfortunate to change all of Mr. Jin's works into film and television dramas, I have to say that this is a pity." Cai Xing said with a regretful face.
Jin Yong was in a good mood when he heard this, and he said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Cai has won the award, Sugar Man Entertainment is also one of the best companies in the industry, although I am in Xiangjiang, but I have also heard of it, and it is also my honor that your company can value my works." ”
Jin Yong here is not the Jin Yong of the Earth Celestial Empire, although he is now famous, he is still not arrogant in front of a big entertainment company. Especially if people have such a good attitude, they will naturally not be cold-faced.
Seeing that Jin Yong's attitude was so good, Cai Xing's heart was also relieved, and he was about to open his mouth to say his goal this time, when he suddenly heard a voice outside the door: "Is Mr. Zha at home?" ”
As a well-known writer in Xiangjiang, Jin Yong's address is not a secret, as long as someone inquires a little, you can know it. When Jin Yong's wife heard that someone was coming again, she hurriedly went over to open the door.
This time, there were four people coming at the same time. It can be seen that they are together, holding a large bag and a small bag in their hands, and they don't need to think about it to know that it is a gift for Jin Yong.
As soon as Cai Xing saw the leader, his heart suddenly tightened, and he came to the opponent.
I saw the group put down the gifts, and the leader stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mr. Cha, hello, I am from Huayi Company, called Chen Zhensheng, I took the liberty to come, and please forgive Mr. Cha." ”
Huayi Company, Jin Yong's heart was shocked. If the Sugar Man Company just has an impression, then Huayi Company is like thunder. This is one of the largest entertainment companies in China.
"It turned out to be Mr. Chen, I don't know what Mr. Chen is here for this time?" Jin Yong said.
"The company sent me this time to discuss cooperation with Mr. Cha." Chen Zhensheng said. After speaking, he rolled his eyes and saw Cai Xing, yo he, he is still an acquaintance.
"Isn't this Minister Cai, it seems that the two of us are quite fated, and we can meet you here."
Cai Xing heard this, but did not speak.
"Cooperation?" Jin Yong said.
"That's right, it's cooperation, our company is very interested in Mr. Cha's works, so I was sent to talk to Mr. Cha about the film and television copyright of your work."
As soon as Chen Zhensheng's words came out, Cai Xing's heart suddenly sank. Sure enough, it was really here to steal business.
