"How did we get back last night?"

When eating breakfast together in the cafeteria in the morning, Zhao Yan casually asked Zhang Peng, the weather in May was very comfortable, neither hot nor cold, Zhang Peng was not in bed now, Zhao Yan came back from morning practice, he had already gotten up, so the two came to the canteen to eat together.

"You don't remember?" Zhang Peng was biting on the meat bun, and stopped and looked at Zhao Yan in surprise when he heard the words.

Zhao Yan shook his head slightly, looked at him, and waited for him to answer.

"It's the eldest grandson Xia Qiu and Xi Fang! Didn't they come back by car last night! After getting off the bus at the school gate, they didn't go back to the dormitory immediately, but waited for us here, and as a result, they saw that we couldn't walk when we got off the bus......"

"Can the two of them send the three of us back to the dorm?"

Zhao Yan interrupted Zhang Peng's words, his brows furrowed slightly, and he felt that he couldn't make sense here.

Zhang Peng smiled: "Of course you can't rely on the two of them alone!" They called a few boys in the class to help! ”

"Oh."

Zhao Yan nodded, lowered his head and took a sip of porridge, and asked casually, "Do you know which classmates they are?" ”

Zhang Peng: "It seems that there is Xiaobai!" Xiaobai drank more treacherously last night, he wasn't drunk at all, and how many Xiaobai dormitories are there, right? I don't know very well, just ask Xiaobai later! ”

Zhao Yan: "Well, let's fry a few dishes in the canteen at noon and invite them!" Thanks! ”

"Haha, this can be there! Anyway, you, Boss Zhao, are rich! ”

Zhao Yan glanced at him and didn't answer his words.

……

This morning, Zhao Yan received two phone calls one after another.

One was Lin Fusheng who called and told him what Gu Mingshan meant, saying that someone from the copyright department would come to talk to him about the adaptation rights of "Dragon Babu" in the next two days.

On the phone, Lin Fusheng also said: "Zhao Yan! I'll give you a thorough understanding here, what Mr. Gu means, it is definitely impossible to fully agree to your conditions, and the box office share can be given to you. But there will definitely be a ceiling, so you have to prepare yourself first! ”

Another call was made by the deputy manager of the copyright department of Southern Baidai Media.

On the phone, the deputy manager surnamed Wang was very polite, saying that he and his assistant were already waiting at the airport and would arrive in Nanjing this afternoon.

After ending the call with Wang, the deputy manager of the copyright department of Southern Baidai Media, Zhao Yan considered half a class, and when the second class in the morning ended, he took out his mobile phone and walked outside the classroom. In his mobile phone, he took out the number of Xu Shaoji of Nanjing Justice Law Firm and dialed it.

Last year, when he acquired Youjian Qi Novel Website, he was looking for Xu Shaoji of this law firm.

When Zhao Yan sold the film adaptation rights of "Full Moon Scimitar" and the TV adaptation rights of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", he did not find a lawyer, because the amount involved in the two copyright sales was not large, and Zhao Yan was too lazy to find a lawyer.

But this time is different, this time, whether it is the film adaptation rights of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" or "Dragon Babu", Zhao Yan's appetite is much greater than before. The amount involved is no longer just hundreds of thousands, so he hopes that the terms of the authorization contract this time can be as strict as possible, so as not to rip off in the future.

On the phone. Zhao Yan told Xu Shaoji what he meant, and on the phone, Xu Shaoji's attitude was much more enthusiastic than last year.

Zhao Yan's name has been frequently mentioned in the media recently. "Full Moon Scimitar" is still being screened in theaters, and this is Zhao Yan's hottest period, when I heard Zhao Yan say that he was going to talk about the film adaptation rights of a novel today. wanted to ask him for help, Zhao Yan hadn't said the approximate copyright price yet, and Xu Shaoji had already guessed in his heart that the amount this time would definitely not be small.

The cumulative box office of "Full Moon Scimitar" has exceeded 1 billion, and with the high box office of this movie, no matter how cheap Zhao Yan's new book film adaptation rights are, it is impossible to get cheap!

"Okay, okay! Mr. Zhao! I understand what you said, I will immediately and immediately make relevant preparations, and I will definitely draw up a licensing contract for you before this afternoon, yes, yes! Don't worry! ”

……

In addition to calling Xu Shaoji, Zhao Yan also made a phone call to counselor Weng Zhijian and asked for an afternoon off.

As long as this contract can be successfully negotiated and Zhao Yan doesn't spend it indiscriminately, the money he will use in this life can be earned, and it is not too much to take half a day off for this.

At more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Yan met Deputy Manager Wang and his assistant from the copyright department of EMI Media in the airport reception hall.

Xu Shaoji accompanied Zhao Yan to pick up the plane.

Deputy Manager Wang is a thirty-six or seventeen-year-old man, with a medium build, a Chinese face, short hair, and looks energetic and full of energy.

His assistant was a glasses lady, about thirty years old, probably! Women, especially those in the workplace, are often difficult to determine the exact age.

The assistant's surname was Li, with a tall, thin long face and a professional smile on his face, even if it was a smiling expression, it gave people a feeling of indifference.

None of this is the point!

The focus is on when the four of them enter the business and leisure area of Jinding Hotel to drink coffee and formally negotiate the contract.

Deputy Manager Wang smiled enthusiastically, folded his hands on the coffee table, looked at Zhao Yan and said, "Mr. Ishimi!" I was ordered to come to Nanjing this time, the purpose you must know, here, I don't shy away from saying, Director Xin Mangxia Xin watched your masterpiece, I like the story of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" very much, and I intend to direct this movie myself, now! I'd like to hear your opinion first, and if you have any requirements, just say it! I can make the decision to agree, I must agree immediately, I have no right to call the shots, and I will report to the leaders above as soon as possible, at the moment, what I want to say is: this time, I came with the sincerity of our company! Looking forward to working with you! ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, the eloquence of this deputy manager Wang was revealed, his speech speed was not fast, and his pronunciation was not very standard, but his words were very level, he did not say that he hoped that Zhao Yan would also show sincerity, but his meaning beyond his words had been expressed very clearly.

Zhao Yan smiled and touched his nose, looking shy, but his eyes betrayed his heart, there was a hint of a smile hidden in his eyes, and he didn't mean to be shy at all.

"Manager Wang! Maybe you don't know yet, Maniac Movies will give you the adaptation rights of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" to buy, but I still have an unpublished work that will cooperate with Lin Fusheng and Lin Dao, and you will be able to inquire about this matter later, maybe you can inquire! ”

"Oh? Is it? That...... Congratulations! I really didn't expect Mr. Iwami that you are so young, but you have so many excellent works, and there is still an unpublished work that impresses Director Lin, well, can you take the liberty of asking, has Director Lin decided to buy the adaptation rights of your work? ”

Deputy Manager Wang was obviously surprised, glanced at his assistant Miss Li, unconsciously adjusted his sitting posture, leaned forward slightly, and seemed to find that such a question would make Zhao Yan misunderstand, and quickly added: "Uh, I mean, if Director Lin hasn't confirmed the purchase, can we have a chance to make a quotation from EMI Media?" ”

Zhao Yan pursed his lips and nodded with a smile: "I'm sorry, it's already confirmed!" ”

"Sure?"

Deputy Manager Wang leaned forward and retracted his upper body, with a look of disappointment on his face, as for whether he was really disappointed in his heart, only he knew.

What Zhao Yan could see was that his eyes were thoughtful, and he was silent for about four or five seconds, and the atmosphere of negotiation on the table was silent for four or five seconds, and Deputy Manager Wang suddenly smiled, patted his thigh, and said, "It's a pity!" I don't know what Director Lin's offer is? I don't know if it's inconvenient to disclose a thing or two? ”

Of course it can be revealed!

Zhao Yan laughed in his heart, he mentioned this matter just to say the conditions he gave Lin Fusheng yesterday.

"Dragon Babu" wants to sell at a high price, and he doesn't plan to sell it cheaply.

"2 million signing money!"

Zhao Yan smiled and stirred the coffee in front of him with a spoon.

"2 million?"

Deputy Manager Wang and his assistant Miss Li glanced at each other again, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, this price did not reach their psychological bottom line at all, and the corners of their mouths unconsciously escaped a trace of a smile that was almost imperceptible.

But!

Zhao Yan's words were not finished: "In addition, after the movie is released, every 100 million increase in the box office, my score will increase by 1%!" There is nothing else, only this one condition! ”

After speaking, Zhao Yan slowly put down the spoon in his hand, picked up the coffee cup and took a sip with a smile.

And Deputy Manager Wang and Miss Li, who were sitting opposite him and Xu Shaoji, seemed to have been hit by petrification magic in an instant, and the expressions on their faces froze for a moment.

Xu Shaoji glanced at Zhao Yan who was smiling and drinking coffee with a slight sideways face, and felt impressed by Zhao Yan's kid, this kid not only was ruthless, but also had a good grasp of the atmosphere of the negotiation.

Psychologically speaking, this kind of quotation method often shifts the focus of bargaining to the latter condition quietly, as for the 2 million signing fee thrown in front, even if the other party still tries to repay the price, psychologically, he will not pay too much attention to this.

Sure enough, after Deputy Manager Wang pressed the thumb of his right hand on his temple, he smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Iwami!" You really ...... this condition Hehe! With such a condition of yours, will Director Lin also agree? Hehe, even if he can agree, can the leaders of the decision-making of the madman movie agree? ”

Zhao Yan gently put down the coffee cup, still smiling.

"Maniac Films is ready to send someone over to sign a contract with me! Mr. Wang! You just said that you came with sincerity today, so I will show my sincerity too! I don't hide it from you, the madman movie may talk to me about the upper limit of the box office share, my psychological bottom line is 10%, this bottom line also belongs to "Smiling Proud Jianghu", if Mr. Wang, you can agree to this condition on behalf of your company, we can sign the contract at any time, if not, or say, your company can't accept such conditions, then I can only say that I am very sorry, I hope there will be a chance to cooperate next time!
