"It's okay, you're too polite." Xiao Jian shook his head and said that he didn't care, although he hadn't experienced this kind of thing, but, in his memory, his predecessor was no stranger to this kind of scene, and there were definitely not a few people who had experienced it, not to mention, with his patience to be a security guard in TVB, what did it matter if he waited for a few hours.

"Uncle Cha, let's not say a polite word for now, how about it, what do you think of this novel?" After the two finished their polite exchanges, Lin Qingxia hurriedly asked.

Looking at Lin Qingxia with an expectant look, Jin Yong couldn't help but smile and quipped: "Qingxia, it seems that you like this novel and its author very much, otherwise it would be difficult to see it like this." ”

Hearing this, Lin Qingxia couldn't help but blush, knowing that she was a little impatient, she quickly restrained her violently fluctuating thoughts, and couldn't help but subconsciously turn her head to look at Xiao Jian, but the calmness on the other party's face made her feel a little disappointed in her heart.

glanced at the two of them meaningfully, but Jin Yong didn't say anything, pondered for a while, and then said: "This novel is very good, in my opinion, it is definitely not inferior to the "Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" by the lord of Huanzhu Mansion." ”

Speaking of this, Jin Yong changed the topic and asked: "Xiao Sheng, I don't know how much you have written this "Zhu Xian", how many words are expected to be finished, and when will it be finished?" ”

"I've written 1.02 million words, and I expect to thank about 2.1 million, and if nothing else, it will be over in a month." Xiao Jian said without hesitation, obviously having a draft in his heart.

Hearing this, Jin Yong nodded with a smile, and immediately said: "I will give you 300 Hong Kong dollars for a thousand words, which is only a few people in the entire Ming Pao can have, I don't know what you think?" ”

Speaking of this, without waiting for Xiao Jian to answer, Jin Yong hurriedly continued: "Moreover, the publication of "Zhu Xian" can also be handed over to Ming Pao, how about I give you eleven percent?" That's definitely the price of a top-notch writer. ”

"Less." Xiao Jian said without hesitation: "Your price is indeed for first-class authors, and my current writer level is among the first-class. But don't forget my other professions, and with my current popularity and reputation in Southeast Asia, even top writers can't match me. ”

"And how much do you say?" Jin Yong frowned and asked. He had expected these for a long time, but as a businessman, the pursuit of maximum profit was his goal, even if he admired Xiao Jian very much, he could not give in, and immediately began to think quickly about how to get the maximum benefit.

Serialized 400 thousand words. I want to publish twenty percent. Xiao Jian said immediately.

"No, it's too much, your price is not in Ming Pao." Jin Yong said coldly, and his face also showed displeasure, "310 thousand words, 12% of the publication, this is the greatest sincerity I can show." ”

"No..."

……….

Looking at the two people competing against each other, Lin Qingxia, who was sitting on the side, did not speak, as the so-called business is talking, negotiation is a normal thing. Even if she has a good relationship with the two of them, she can't interject at this time.

After more than ten points of confrontation, the two still did not negotiate, mainly because the two were not very satisfied with each other's prices, but although the expressions on their faces were different, they showed anger and dissatisfaction from time to time... It's just that as long as you look at the calm eyes of the two people, you can know that the hearts of the two are not chaotic. It has always been calm, even if there is already a quarrel on the surface.

"Well, I'll take a step back." Xiao Jian looked at Jin Yong and said the real purpose of his personal visit this time, "The remuneration is 350 thousand words." In addition, I want the film and TV series adaptation rights of "The Legend of the Deer and Ding", "The Legend of the Smiling Proud Jianghu", "The Legend of the Sky and the Dragon", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and "The Eight Dragons". ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Jian looked at Jin Yong with a surprised face with a resolute expression: "This is my bottom line, if you don't agree." That's it. ”

That's right, Xiao Jian's purpose in coming here in person this time is to get the adaptation rights of these novels, and he is very aware of the value of the potential of these novels, so he will naturally not give up.

In fact, if it's just the right to adapt the movie, it doesn't have to be so troublesome, with his current fame and status, he only needs to make a phone call, the trouble is the TV series, you must know that Jin Yong and Run Run Shaw have a good relationship and are famous, which is from ATV did not get the adaptation right from him, and TVB is about to shoot his works all over again.

Moreover, if it weren't for the fact that TVB had already finished filming the works he wanted, even if he came in person this time, he was not sure that Jin Yong would agree.

In fact, whether it is a TV series or a movie, Xiao Jian has no shortage of theme shooting, but he is from later generations, since he has become an actor, he will not play Yang Guo, Ling Huchong, Wei Xiaobao... Something, that's definitely a pity.

Moreover, now is the time when martial arts dramas are popular, how can he not participate in it, as for TV series with other themes, either they can't be filmed at the moment or he doesn't like it, as for adapting other martial arts novels, Xiao Jian really has no interest, even if it is Gu Long's novel, he has no interest in shooting.

The reason why I love Jin Yong's novels may also be a kind of revenge psychology after seeing the vomit in later generations, in the past, you acted to let me see the vomit, but this time I will play it, let you see the vomit, what a cool thing it is.

Looking at Xiao Jian with a resolute face, Jin Yong thought for a moment, and immediately agreed, as soon as Xiao Jian's several works TVB had already been filmed, it would be impossible to shoot them again, not to mention, he was very appreciative of Xiao Jian's director and acting skills, and he was also very curious about what his works would be filmed by the other party.

Now that the general conditions have been set, the next thing is simple, it didn't take long for the two to negotiate the conditions, Xiao Jian got the adaptation rights of several novels, of course, he still gave the adaptation fee, and the remuneration and publication share of "Zhu Xian" are also the same as the conditions he proposed.

In fact, with Xiao Jian's current net worth, he doesn't care too much about this remuneration and publishing share, his goal this time was originally the adaptation right of these novels, and now it is as usual, and the benefits of "Zhu Xian" are indeed not small, but they cannot be compared with the benefits brought to him by Jin Yong's novels.

"Mr. Cha, happy cooperation." Xiao Jian stood up and smiled and stretched out his hand.

Standing up, Jin Yong stretched out his hand and shook Xiao Jian: "Happy cooperation, Xiao Sheng's eloquence is really amazing, since the contract has been signed, you are not afraid that I will regret it, so can you sue me I have offended you before, why did I refuse to invite you several times before." ”

There was a look of surprise on his face, looking at Jin Yong with a serious face, after a little thought, Xiao Jian immediately decided to say what was in his heart, what he wanted was the adaptation rights of several novels of the other party, and now that he has obtained it, he is naturally not afraid of offending the other party, and at the same time, he also hopes to mention the other party a few times, and he will regret it when it happens.

"There are some things that I don't want to say more, but since Mr. Cha asked, it belongs to me to say a few more words, Miss Zhu, that is, Mr. Cha's ex-wife, I heard that she is not rich now, no, not rich, but very poor..." )
