Chapter 243: Copyright in Hand

"Is this it?" Wu Meiyan wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, raised her head and looked at the small villa standing in front of her, and only amazement was left in her mouth.

"Miyu, this is the address of the cartoonist you said?"

Looking at the small villa in front of her, Wu Meiyan looked incredulous, although this villa is not big, although the geographical location is not the best, but it is also a villa, a villa! What is this concept? A small clerk like her would never want to live in such a villa for the rest of her life, except if she could catch a golden beetle.

Hearing her best friend's exclamations and complaints, Zhao Meiyu looked at the small piece of paper in her hand, and the address written on it was right here.

"That's right, this is it, let's go up and ring the doorbell." As she spoke, Zhao Meiyu was about to step forward and press the doorbell, but Wu Meiyan on the side stretched out her hand and grabbed her, with a worried face.

"Meiyu, could it be that we are mistaken, isn't this the little cartoonist you said?"

"Make no mistake, this is it, I asked through several channels, including the publishing company of her comics, and the address registered on it is here, unless she moves, otherwise it must be right." As she spoke, Zhao Meiyu broke free of her best friend's arm, stepped forward and pressed the doorbell, and after more than ten seconds, she heard a soft female voice from the microphone.

"Who?"

Hearing the voice, Zhao Meiyu bent down, pointed her face at the monitor lens at the door, beckoned to the camera, and then said her intention, "Park Suxi, hello!" We are MBC TV, and we came to you today mainly to talk to you about the copyright of the comic adaptation. ”

"Where are you?" Hearing Zhao Meiyu's explanation, the female voice inside seemed to feel a little incredulous, and asked repeatedly.

Zhao Meiyu was not annoyed at all. Patiently, he said again: "We are MBC TV, and we came here today to talk to you about the TV series adaptation rights of one of your comics!" ”

After Zhao Meiyu finished speaking, she only heard that there seemed to be no movement inside for a while, Zhao Meiyu turned her head to look at her best friend Wu Meiyan behind her, and cast an inquiring look, only to see that Wu Meiyan also shrugged her shoulders. I don't know what the main master inside thinks.

Turning her head, Zhao Meiyu continued to ask patiently, "Park Suxi?" Are you still there? ”

"Park Su-hee?"

It took about half a minute before I heard the female voice inside say again, "Can you show me your work card?" Just look at the camera. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Meiyu took out her work card from her pocket and displayed it in front of the camera, and when the woman inside was confirmed, she heard a 'jingle bell' from the door of the villa, and the door opened.

"Please come in. I'm sorry to keep you waiting! ”

Walking into the villa, Zhao Meiyu and Wu Meiyan walked in the small garden in the front yard of the villa one after the other, Wu Meiyan followed closely behind Zhao Meiyu, and her eyes swept over the flowers and trees in the garden from time to time, and she couldn't stop exclaiming, don't look at this villa is not big, but the environment is particularly beautiful, clean and tidy.

Follow the path of the small garden to the door of the house. I saw that there was already a young woman waiting for them at the door.

When she saw someone coming, the woman immediately greeted her. Stretched out his right hand towards Zhao Meiyu, "Welcome, welcome!" I'm Park So-hee. ”

Zhao Meiyu hurriedly stretched out her right hand to shake her, and then introduced herself, "Hello, Pu Suxi." I'm Cho Mi-ok from MBC TV's Drama Production Bureau, and I'm next to me my colleague, Wu Mi-yeon. ”

Park So-hee transferred Mu Guang from Zhao Mi-yu's body to Oh Mi-yeon behind her, and also smiled and stretched out her right hand, "Oh Mi-yeon xi." Zhao Meiyu xi, welcome! Here's please. With that, Park Su-hee led the way in front, and the three of them walked into the house.

Although I have never met this cartoonist before, the first meeting still gave Zhao Meiyu and Wu Meiyan a different feeling, I can't say that I am beautiful, anyway, I belong to the kind of woman who feels more temperamental the more I look at it.

It's not pretty, but the more you look at it, the more you feel it, it may have something to do with her professional cartoonist, Park Suhee, who was born in 1978, looks very young, not like a woman who is almost thirty years old, of course, this is according to a woman's algorithm, as soon as she is over twenty-five years old, she is getting closer and closer to thirty.

Although Zhao Meiyu and Wu Meiyan are not college classmates, they were both recruited to MBC TV last year, and they only graduated from college last year A few years younger than Park So-hee, it seems that the three of them are about the same size.

"Sit down, I'll get you some drinks, what do you drink?" Drinks, green tea, or coffee? After Park So-hee invited the two to sit down, he got up and went to the refrigerator in the open kitchen to ask.

"I can do anything, what about you?" Zhao Meiyu said.

"Oh, I want green tea." Wu Meiyan, who was looking up to observe the decoration of the hall on the first floor, reacted when she heard Zhao Meiyu's words next to her, and hurriedly spoke.

Park Su-hee behind her was preparing a drink, and on the sofa, Wu Meiyan gently patted the back of Zhao Meiyu's hand, and pouted towards the corner of the first floor, motioning for her to take a look.

The wide floor-to-ceiling windows, creepers crawled all over the entire outer wall, and even spread out a lot, climbed to the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sun sprinkled some spots on the desktop through the window, and there was a table in front of the window, only to see pencils and paper on it, etc., it seems that Pu Suxi is sitting there to draw cartoons on weekdays, just looking at it, I feel very atmospheric, deep in the heart of Wu Meiyan, a literary young woman.

Park Suxi made two cups of tea and brought them carefully, Zhao Meiyu and Wu Meiyan hurriedly got up and took it when they saw this, and said thank you to her with a smile.

Actually, just now, Park Suxi saw the two of them pointing at her corner and seemed to be saying something, you don't have to listen to her to know what they are discussing, as long as it is the person who comes to visit her, the first thing everyone notices seems to be that corner, but that is also the most satisfying place in the whole villa.

"I designed it myself, and that's where I usually draw comics, and when I'm not inspired, I sit there and look at the scenery outside the window. It feels pretty good. ”

After listening to Park Suhee's answer, Wu Meiyan was the first to stand up and praise, "It looks very beautiful, if you should sit there and work, your mood will be different." ”

"yes, inspiration should be like a wellspring, right?"

Listening to the praise of the two as if they didn't want money. Park Suxi couldn't stand it anymore, her face was slightly red and she waved her hand, and explained: "That's not it, in fact, I built a small world by myself, and I'm used to painting there." ”

Although it was the first time they met, after a brief chat, the three women talked more and more, and at this time Zhao Meiyu also explained the purpose of her visit.

"Park So-hee, in fact, the main reason we came this time is to talk to you about the right to adapt the TV series of your comics." Zhao Meiyu said.

Hear Zhao Meiyu's words. Park So-hee's face also put away a smile, and he was a little more serious than just now, after all, it was about his own interests, "What comics?" ”

As she debuted in 2000 with the comic "Ghost Wedding", although the output has not been high in the past five years, if you count it carefully, the number of works is not small, and I want to guess which comic I have on MBC TV. It's hard to say.

"Park So-hee, is the copyright of the TV series adaptation of your work "My Barbarian Princess" still in your hands?" Zhao Meiyu asked. stared at Park Su-hee in front of him, and he was quite nervous.

This time, she and Wu Meiyan actually came with a mission, and the day before yesterday, when she handed over the complete set of comic books "My Barbarian Princess" to the Song seniors in the bureau, she watched it for half an hour and then decided to make a decision, and she herself took a fancy to adapt this comic into a TV series, as a Mizuki drama at the beginning of next year.

Just yesterday. After some heated discussions, everyone unanimously decided to choose this comic for adaptation, and even the copyright has been implemented, and the bureau has begun to select screenwriters. It can be said that everyone doesn't want to wait or dare to wait for a moment, and time is money at this time!

I thought that everything would go well, after all, I had a good chat with Park Suxi just now, and everyone got along well during this time, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with this, but the development of things was a little unexpected by Zhao Meiyu, and after Park Suxi in front of her heard the name of the comic book she said, her face couldn't help but change, as if there was something unspeakable.

Seeing this, Zhao Meiyu's heart was bottomless, she leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Is there any problem?" ”

Park Suhee, who came back to his senses, looked at the two TV station staff members who were extremely nervous in front of him, and said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I've already sold the TV series adaptation rights of that comic." ”

"What? Sold! Hearing Park Suxi's answer, Zhao Meiyu's heart was shocked, she wouldn't be so unlucky, she didn't count this one, which didn't let other TV stations take the lead.

Realizing that there was something wrong with her tone just now, Zhao Meiyu immediately waved her hand at Park Suxi, and quickly explained: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean you just now!" ”

"It's okay, I understand." Park Suxi smiled absently, and understood Zhao Meiyu's mood just now.

Calm down, Oh Mi-yeon can't wait to ask Park So-hee who the buyer who bought this manga is.

"Park So-hee, when did you sell the TV series adaptation rights of this manga?"

If the TV series adaptation rights of this comic were bought by two other TV stations, and not long ago, Zhao Meiyu could already imagine how angry she would be at the boss when she went back.

"I can't remember the exact time, but it's a bit early, and I sold it last year." Speaking of which, Park Suxi's face also showed a faint trace of regret, not that it was sold earlier or anything, but that it was sold less, after all, it was sold to an individual at that time, and now it is MBC TV that comes to the door, and you can know whose thighs are thicker by comparison.

"Last year?"

The good thing is that it was last year, not not so long ago.

Hearing this, the surprise on Zhao Meiyu's face couldn't be hidden, it had already been sold last year? But until this year this year, I've never seen a TV series adapted from this manga?

"Well, it was last year, I remember it very well." Park Suhee thought about it for a while, and then nodded affirmatively, she didn't remember the time wrong, after all, this was her first comic book to sell the rights to a TV series adaptation, how could she be wrong?

Since there is no TV series on the TV station, it means that this TV series has not started filming yet, which means that he still has a chance, thinking of this, Zhao Meiyu couldn't help it anymore, and immediately asked, "That, Park Suxi, can you take the liberty of asking who is the person who bought the adaptation rights of your comic TV series?" ”

Hearing Zhao Meiyu say this, Park Suxi thought about it, this is not a trade secret, or something that cannot be said in the contract, and then nodded, "It was Jung Hyuk Jae Xi who came to the door last year, and it was he who bought the TV series adaptation rights of this comic, and I was still wondering why someone would come to the door at that time, and the price was still a relatively high price at that time." ”

"Jung Hyuk Jae Xi?" Hearing this name, Zhao Meiyu's face showed even greater surprise, this name sounds so familiar, it is estimated that even the staff of the news production department in the station should know this name, after a series of incidents, I believe that there are really not many people in the station who don't know his name.

"Are you talking about Jung Hyuk-jae, the author of the novel "Love at Harvard" and the screenwriter and director of "I'm Sorry, I Love You"?" Zhao Meiyu asked with some uncertainty.

I saw that Pu Suxi in front of him nodded affirmatively, and said, "Well, it's him, I remember it very clearly." ”

How can Park So-hee not remember clearly, after all, Jung Hyuk-jae can be called a handsome guy no matter how he is counted, and there has been so much news about him recently, of course his memory is very clear, how could there be a mistake in this matter?

"Is it really him?" Hearing this, Zhao Meiyu still couldn't believe it, in fact, it wasn't just her, didn't she see Wu Meiyan on the side stunned?

"That's right!" Park Suxi nodded affirmatively again, this time Zhao Meiyu did not ask again, but fell into contemplation with Wu Meiyan beside her.

They were already at a dead end, but this time it seemed that the peak had turned around and saw the hope in front of them (to be continued......
