Chapter 39: Kadokawa Books

Chen Yongren walked on the way home, thinking about Chen Chaowu's distorted look before leaving just now, and his heart was overjoyed, he was just skillfully using a man's sinking of love and self-esteem. From the future, he has a good love history for many stars.

Chen Yulian has never been moved by Chen Chaowu, and the latter has always been alone in unrequited love; With Chen Yulian's dusty character, she will definitely not tolerate Chen Chaowu's treatment of others by some unclean means; As for Chen Chaowu's remark that he and Chen Yulian were already in a relationship, Chen Yongren scoffed, Chen Yulian just used the former as a victim of a relationship entanglement with Zhou Yanfa, otherwise Chen Chaowu would never allow Chen Yulian to shoot the tertiary film called "Siamese", and the former could not affect any of the latter's thoughts and decisions at all.

Chen Yongren sighed and said to himself: "The IQ of people in love has dropped significantly, this sentence is really good, how can a person with a big threat like me give up the best time to strangle for a woman?" Chen Chaowu, you will definitely regret it......".

Back at home, Chen Yongren began to think about the future again, although Chen Chaowu will not act in vain for the time being, but just like a poisonous snake, waiting for the opportunity, and in the entertainment industry, he will not be able to avoid the entanglement of the underworld in the future, so he has to guard against it, but he will never dye it himself, thinking that those netizens will splash the dirty water of the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles on Xiang Huaqiang's body in the future, he feels chills in his heart. As far as he knows, Xiang Huaqiang is still very well-behaved after intervening in the entertainment industry, otherwise he would not have taken root in the entertainment industry for nearly 30 years, think about the fate of those who do not follow the rules in the entertainment industry, such as Cai Ziming, who will not live long or disappear quickly in the entertainment industry, you can see why.

In fact, Chen Yongren has already had a countermeasure in his heart, the black one has never seen the light, no matter how good he is, he does not dare to openly confront the official, and when he has a certain reputation and status, it is not something that ordinary people can move casually if they want to. This is a very simple matter for him, but fame and status are not something that can be obtained overnight, it seems that he has to make friends with Bai Dao first; Chen Yongren thought of Li Xiuxian, in the future, Li Xianxian's Universal Pictures will only make police and gangster films, and they will all promote the positive image of the Hong Kong police, so they have an excellent relationship with the police, many stars are threatened by the underworld to make movies, only Li Xianxian's Universal Pictures can always be alone, recently "Public Servant" is being screened, he heard Cheng Kui Ammonium mention, the Hong Kong Police Public Relations Department has already contacted Li Xianxian, he decided to follow the former, after the filming of "Two Big Smoking Guns", he also made a police film, And it's time to make some money, too!

In the next few days, Chen Yongren will rest at home and accompany his parents, and he will not be busy much in the future; Moreover, just in time for the two festivals, it is not convenient to start the machine immediately, and he has already notified others to turn on the machine after the Qingming Festival. On this day, he was watching TV at home, but he unexpectedly received a call from Shen Baoxin, asking him to meet in Mingbao and discuss something......

Two hours later, Chen Yongren arrived at Shen Baoxin's office, and unexpectedly, there was another person in the latter's office.

"Uncle Shen, what's the matter with being in a hurry to find me?" Chen Yongren asked with a smile after sitting down.

Shen Baoxin pointed to the man sitting next to Chen Yongren and smiled: "Let me introduce you first, this is Mr. Nakagawa Koshiryu of Kadokawa Books in Japan, and he is the person who wants to find you!" ”; After speaking, he pointed to Chen Yongren and introduced to Nakagawa Yue: "This is Mr. Chen Yongren, the author of "Midnight Bell". ”。

Chen Yongren's heart moved, but he saw Nakagawa Yuelong stretching out his hand to him and smiled: "It's a pleasure to meet Mr. Chen, I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be so young and so talented, your "Midnight Bell" is simply a milestone work in horror novels, and Mr. Kadokawa also spoke highly after reading it!" He spoke Chinese.

Chen Yongren stretched out his hand and shook it shallowly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Nakagawa has won the award, I don't know why he is looking for me today?" ”。

Nakagawa Koshiryu said: "After Mr. Kadokawa read "Midnight Bell", he was amazed, and especially wanted to release "Midnight Bell" in Japan, I heard Mr. Shen say that the copyright of the foreign translation of this book is still in the hands of Mr. Chen, so I ......."

Chen Yongren nodded and smiled: "I understand that I can't let more people know about my works, and as an author, of course, I can't ask for it!" I just don't know how much authority Mr. Kadokawa gave Mr. Nakagawa? ”。

Nakagawa Yuelong smiled with a relaxed expression: "Mr. Chen, please rest assured, we will definitely give you a satisfactory price, Kadokawa Books offered 200,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy out the translation and distribution rights of "Midnight Bell", what does Mr. Chen think?" I don't think Mr. Shen gave you this price when he released this book, right? ”。

Chen Yongren laughed twice and asked Shen Baoxin: "Uncle Shen, I have been sleeping at home for the past two days, I have forgotten the date, and there are still a few days of Qingming Festival?" ”。

Shen Baoxin and Zhongchuan Yuelong next to him were stunned when they heard Chen Yongren's words, and the former was stunned for a moment and replied: "The day after tomorrow!" ”。

Chen Yongren said suddenly: "That means April Fool's Day passed yesterday?" ”。

Nakagawa Yuelong's face sank and said, "What does Mr. Chen mean by this?" ”。

Chen Yongren snorted coldly and said: "Mr. Nakagawa himself said that even Mr. Kadokawa, the big boss of your book club, is full of praise for my book, do you think this book can only make Kadokawa Book Club earn 200,000 Hong Kong dollars?" ”。

Nakagawa Yuelong's heart sank, and he said helplessly: "Then Mr. Chen will say a price by himself!" ”。

Chen Yongren said: "I don't bid, as long as the sales share!" ”。

Nakagawa Yuelong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "In this case, I can decide to give Mr. Chen a sales share, but Mr. Chen wants to sell us the film and television adaptation rights of the novel at the same time!" ”。

Chen Yongren secretly scolded the old fox, probably because he wanted to make himself make conditions, and then take the opportunity to pack and sell; He clearly knew that at the end of the 70s, the studio system of Japanese films was facing a complete collapse, and the monopoly of the film industry by large studios was gone, and some non-film companies were eyeing the film market, waiting for an opportunity to encroach on the film market. In 1976, Kadokawa Shoten, a powerful publishing giant, established Kadokawa Pictures, which was the first to enter the film industry by virtue of its close relationship between Japanese films and novels. The other party is also a peer who looks at the wolf and looks at the wolf, how can he not know good goods.

Chen Yongren smiled lightly: "Yicheng's book sales are okay, but if you add film and television copyrights, it won't work!" ”。

Nakagawa Yuelong sighed and said: "In this case, it seems that there is no chance to cooperate with Mr. Chen, you must know that Yicheng's sales may be nearly one million Hong Kong dollars or even more than one million Hong Kong dollars, it's a pity!" ”。

Chen Yongren sneered, and wanted to catch Lao Tzu? He also sighed and said, "Yes! What a pity! ”。 Nakagawa Yuelong was overjoyed when he heard this, and was expecting Chen Yongren to continue to say something regretful, but he heard Chen Yongren say to Shen Baoxin: "Uncle Shen, I've been busy filming a movie recently, and I still have a lot of things to do, so I'll leave first if you have nothing else to do!" ”。

Shen Baoxin laughed secretly, Zhongchuan Yuelong didn't know that Chen Yongren in front of him was also a little fox, and it was difficult to take advantage of him; He also knew that Chen Yongren had his own plans in his heart, so he nodded and said, "Then you go back first!" ”。 Nakagawa Koshiryu was dumbfounded......

"Wait a minute......".

"What else is going on with Uncle Shen?" Chen Yongren asked.

Shen Baoxin said: "Your novel has received a lot of letters from readers, especially some young students, and they really want you to hold a book signing and sales readers' meeting, when do you think you are free?" ”。

Chen Yongren was very surprised, thought for a moment and replied: "It's the first day of the fifth month!" ”。

Shen Baoxin nodded and said, "I know ......."

Chen Yongren nodded to Zhongchuan Yuelong and said solemnly: "Mr. Zhongchuan, goodbye......."

Nakagawa Yuelong opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, Chen Yongren smiled freely, and when the former came back to his senses, Chen Yongren was gone.

Chen Yongren knows very well in his heart that he is penniless now, no matter what he does, no matter how confident he is, others will not take him seriously, and he will not be able to win much rights and interests, so he has no intention of talking to that Nakagawa Yuelong at all. He firmly believed that in the near future, Kadokawa Books would send someone to find him, but when the time came, how could he be sent by a Nakagawa Yuelong?
