Chapter 22: The Finale Banquet

A few days after Xu Fei left, Old Man Jin arrived as promised and brought someone with him.

"Haha, I haven't seen you for a while, and Xiaoyou is more and more surprised by my old man." Jin Yong walked in with a smile, and then introduced Li Xuan: "Come on, come on, I'll introduce a friend to Xiaoyou, this is Hu Weiyong, the editor of Sanlian Publishing House." ”

"Ah, Hello Editor Hu, please come in, please come in!" Li Xuechu invited the two into the room.

After the two sat down on the sand, Li Xuechu made tea and chatted casually.

"That's Mr. Li." Hu Weiyong didn't have much politeness, and after a few gossips, he quickly got to the point: "During this time, your novels are very popular, and the total number of words is enough to meet the word count requirements for publishing a book." That's why we at Triptych would like to publish your work. Mr. Li, please rest assured, we are here with sincerity and will definitely give you a suitable price. ”

Li Xuechu looked at Old Man Jin, Jin Yong smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Let's talk about the specific things Xiaoyou and Editor Hu, I'm just an introducer, responsible for introducing the two of you to get to know each other, don't take care of me." ”

Li Xuechu understood, and he didn't beat around the bush, and directly asked the question that the two of them were most concerned about: "What are your plans for royalties and book pricing?" "Li Xuechu did not propose a copyright buyout, and if he buys out now, it will be at most hundreds of thousands, so it is better to keep the copyright in his own hands. And these works turned out to be Hollywood comedies, maybe people will come over and ask for adaptations and remakes? Lao Mei's money is much better than that of Xiangjiang people, and a random story costs 200,000 US dollars and more than 1 million Xiangjiang coins.

"We plan to set the price at 40 Hong Kong dollars per copy, with a royalty of 8 percent. We can pay 100,000 in advance, and if the sales of the novel do not reach the predetermined amount, the money can be non-refundable. Of course, we still have faith in Mr. Lee's novel. Hu continued: "We plan to publish four of Mr. Li's comic novels that have been serialized together. Of course, we are also very interested in Mr. Li's current serialized killer Leon, and according to past experience, this novel may be more popular in the novel market than newspaper serialization, but it is still too short and needs to be bound together with other novels. ”

This royalty is still good for new authors, Li Xuechu has also learned about Xu Fei's points before, and I feel that there is not much room for bargaining. Li Xuechu stretched out his hand: "Happy cooperation." ”

Hearing this, Hu Weiyong's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly stretched out his right hand: "Happy cooperation." ”

The cooperation on the publication of the novel was completed, and both parties were in a good mood, and Jin Yong also congratulated the two of them a few words, and then chatted easily. However, Li Xuechu can remember what Old Man Jin is doing today, but he hasn't mentioned it yet, and he can't take the initiative to ask, and his heart itches like a cat crawling for a while.

After a while, seeing that Li Xuechu was a little unable to sit still, Jin Yong smiled neatly, took out a manuscript agreement from the bag he was carrying, and handed it to Li Xuechu.

"Xiaoyou is really not simple, in less than two months, the work can become a sensation, our Ming Pao is also deeply affected by its sales soaring, the original manuscript fee must be inappropriate, I re-wrote a contract here, Xiaoyou, you take a look."

Li Xuechu took it with a smile on his face, and looked at it, good guy, the manuscript fee has been written directly on it, a thousand words and hundreds of yuan, it seems that Mr. Jin doesn't plan to discuss it with himself.

"Uh, Mr. Cha, can you add more to this manuscript fee?" Li Xuechu still asked a little unwillingly.

So Mr. Kim Yong began the money theory that he didn't know how many people he had talked to. To sum it up, it is these few sentences: There is no use for too much money, Comrade Xiao Li, you are still young, and there is no family to support, and you don't need to spend any money, and if you have more money, you can just save it in the bank, and it is the same if you have more money and less money......

It seems that Jin Yong doesn't plan to increase it any more, Li Xuechu accepted the price with a wry smile. Hu Weiyong should have heard the rumors of Old Man Jin, and he smiled and didn't speak next to him to see the excitement, which was considered to have the opportunity to see the legendary Old Man Jin's money dialectic, and occasionally nodded in agreement.

The contract was agreed, Li Xuechu handed over the novel he wrote later, and the soul catcher didn't write it again after Xu Fei said that, Li Xuechu handed over the newly written mouse catcher to Jin Yong, and the killer looked at it with his eyes on the end of the serialization, and this manuscript was going to start being published in the newspaper in two days, which was considered to be a timely file. But think about it, I can be regarded as another pit in Hollywood without people knowing, hehe.

After finishing the business, he signed a contract and sent Jin Yong and Hu Weiyong away, Li Xuechu closed the door and smiled bitterly. In fact, this thing was also expected, and the money was also added by people on their own initiative, and the amount of money added was calculated as much as it was, anyway, I was not bad for these two money.

With the 100,000 cash given by the publishing house, his pocket was plump again. According to the regulations, the manuscript fee of Ming Pao will be paid to his account tomorrow, and Li Xuechu, who has been poor for a few days, has money again, and his mind about buying a car has begun to come alive. According to the experience of later generations, the Xiangjiang currency will begin to depreciate next year, and Xiangjiang itself does not produce cars, so it is more cost-effective to buy now......

"Click!" Wang Fatzi shouted loudly, and everyone's eyes looked over.

Wang Jin smiled and announced loudly: "I announce: From now on, the king of big words will be officially completed!" ”

"Ah! ......" the crowd cheered in unison. The film, which took more than 20 days, was finally completed.

"Everyone have a good rest in the afternoon, and at seven o'clock in the evening, we will hold a finale banquet at the Fumantang Hotel, and everyone will have a good time."

Everyone cheered again, and it was an unexpected joy that this kind of small crew's finale banquet could be eaten in the hotel.

"Okay, okay, the crew stays and packs up the things, and the ones that should be returned are returned, and the rented ones are taken back the deposit, and the others should be dispersed."

After a period of commotion, the crowd slowly dispersed, and only Wang Fatzi, Li Xuechu, and Brother were left at the scene.

"Brother, you acted awesomely." Li Xuechu gave Zhou Yan a thumbs up.

"Hehe, thank you two for being able to watch Zhou Mou." Zhou Yan smiled modestly.

"Are you afraid of running out of food if you have good acting skills? You can be regarded as giving us face, don't worry, this drama is guaranteed to be a big hit. Wang Jin recognized his brother's acting skills. Speaking of which, this drama is mainly supported by Zhou Yan's acting skills, although it is a little different from the nonsensical exaggerated body movements and expressions that Li Xuechu saw in his later generations, but Brother's style also has a different taste, especially the kind of ruffian spirit that is serious and carries a little bit of ruffianism, which makes Wang and Li quite satisfied.

"I don't know if this drama can improve Brother Xia's 'bad luck'? But the play itself is good, if there is no accident, it should be a hot seller, how much will it change, right? Li Xuechu secretly thought that Zhou Yan had been on the street for six consecutive years in history.

"Alright, let's go back too." Wang Fatzi said.

After the three of them left the venue, they said goodbye and left. Wang Jin contacted Chen Baixiang, Tan Yonglin and other investors, and Li Xuechu invited Hong Jiaban. In the afternoon, Li Xuechu had nothing to do at home, and Wang Fatzi still had to contact the post-production zuò.

"Come on! Cheers! The fat man yelled.

"!" The crowd raised their glasses and drank them all.

Wang and Li sat at the same table with Zhou Yan, Chen Baixiang, Tan Yonglin, Feng Qufan, Wu Yaohan and others, as well as Hong Jinbao, Wu Ma, Lin Zhengying and other members of the Hong family class. Except for Li Xuechu and Tan Yonglin, almost all of them on the table were wine barrels, and their voices were also loud one by one, which made the scene of ghosts crying and howling and howling extraordinary. Li Xuechu is young, and Tan Yonglin seems to be physically unsuitable for drinking, but the two of them substitute tea for wine, and they also join in the fun together, and the atmosphere is quite hot.

"Chu Zai, I didn't expect your drama to be finished so quickly, and it is not much better than our Hong family class!" Hong Jinbao said in a loud voice.

"Hehe, it's not fast, it's October now, no matter how slow it is, I'll have to compete with you for the schedule, and when the time comes, it's all crowded together, it's not cost-effective."

The drunken heroes of the Hong family class were finished a few days early, and now the later stage is almost finished, but it will be pushed to the Spring Festival in January. Although the current film industry has not clearly defined what summer vacation, Christmas, and Spring Festival files are, when the audience flow is larger, it is generally recalled. The Hong family class is a descendant of Jiahe and enjoys privileges, but the schedule of Wang and Li will be released in advance. However, the two who are confident in the quality of the movie don't think so, a good schedule is also a time when good movies are piled up, and the box office grabs each other hard, and it may not be bad to eat alone in the next schedule.

"Okay, you guys hurry up later, and I'll find Boss Zou with you when the time comes." Hong Jinbao said in a big way.

Wang and Li were overjoyed, and Hong Jinbao said that Xiang was cheap, but he took more than a little bit. "Then thank you Brother Sanmao, the two of us will give Brother Sanmao a cup."

"It's easy to say, everyone is friends, and there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

The scene of the finale banquet was very happy.
