(PS: Thank you for the reward from the book friends of 'Mu Feng Yu Chen'!) Today's third update arrives, continue to ask for recommendations, ask for collections! Ask for support! ）

Although we realize that there are reporters at the opening ceremony, there will inevitably be relevant news reports. And Li Shengxian didn't expect that this news seemed to exceed his expectations, and it actually entered the popular search list the next day.

Many netizens lamented Li Shengxian's connections, and more people lamented that Li Shengxian was so young that he actually bought such a café worth at least one billion yuan. Some people also began to speculate about what Li Shengxian's family background was.

Although netizens also know that writers and screenwriters are a group of people with high incomes. But Li Shengxian has only been famous for about a year, so he must not be able to make so much money, right? The money to buy the café must have been given by the family, right?

Regarding the discussion on the Internet, Li Shengxian did not pay much attention. After receiving an invitation call from KBS again, Lee Sung-hyun also knew that he was going to go. After all, the Coffee Prince No. 1 store has already been filmed.

Even if it hasn't been broadcast yet, KBS knows that the adaptation rights of Lee Sung-hyun's second online novel are not for them to like. Both SBS and MBC contacted Lee Sung-hyun, but because they contacted in advance, they seized the opportunity of this adaptation.

As a sought-after writer and screenwriter, KBS naturally hopes to seize this opportunity. Even if KBS, as a state-owned TV station, also hopes to make achievements in TV dramas.

Compared with those well-known writers, the price of each episode of the script is high, and it is very difficult to serve. KBS found out that during this filming, Lee Sung-hyun rarely interfered in the crew's affairs.

Even on the selection of actors, Lee Sung-hyun rarely expressed his opinion. Such a low-key screenwriter is undoubtedly what the TV station wants to see. In order to finalize the acquisition of this adaptation, he even asked the minister of the broadcasting department to come forward to negotiate in person.

When Lee Sung-hyun took a taxi to the KBS headquarters, as soon as he walked into the TV station, he saw the staff inside, and he stepped forward very kindly and said, "Hello Writer Lee! I'm Choi Qihang, assistant to Minister Goo, and welcome to KBS! ”

Looking at the young man who saluted him, Li Shengxian also politely returned the salute: "Thank you!" Sorry to bother you. ”

Listening to Li Shengxian's kind words, Cui Qihang, who had been waiting below for a while, also sighed that this young man's expression was really cold. But after really touching it, Cui Qihang felt that the other party was still very polite.

'It's okay! Minister Gu specially explained that I would go downstairs to greet Writer Li. Minister Gu is also very happy to pay attention to Writer Lee's willingness to cooperate with our KBS. Please come with me, Writer Li, please here! ’

As an assistant to a minister, he must also have some status in the TV station. can wait for him on the first floor in person, this kind of treatment makes Li Shengxian a little surprised. But he didn't like to express his feelings, so he nodded and followed the other party to take the elevator upstairs.

Not long after, Lee Sung-hyun, who arrived at the reception room of the broadcasting department, quickly saw the person in charge of the negotiation. Looking at the other party's polite appearance, Li Shengxian was also a little flattered, but he would not show any affection.

After the two sides sat down, Li Shengxian seemed to have something to say: "Minister Gu, please forgive me for taking the liberty of asking a question. My novel has not yet been serialized, is it too reckless for your station to be in such a hurry to buy the adaptation rights? ”

Such a question made Gu Chengbiao also stunned for a moment, but explained with a smile: "Writer Li, we have also done some market research on the TV series adaptation of your current serialized novel.

According to the results of our survey, 96% of netizens who have read your novel support the adaptation of the novel into TV. These netizens who participated in the survey are also optimistic about your ability to adapt your novel into a TV series.

In addition to the relevant online surveys, we also found a few director PDs and made an approximate rating evaluation of your novel. I felt that although this novel was a feature-length TV series, it could be broadcast as a weekly drama for KBS.

Compared to your first TV adaptation, this novel has a wider audience. Many screenwriters who have worked with us have also commented on Writer Li's novel, and feel that in terms of the emotional handling of this family, they are far beyond your current age.

We also know that MBS and SBS have contacted Writer Li and plan to discuss the right to adapt the novel. Now I'm glad we were the first to contact you. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll miss the opportunity to work with you again. ”

After listening to Gu Chengbiao's explanation, Li Shengxian said with a little relief: "Minister Gu, to be honest, I am not very good at this kind of negotiation, and I value the sincerity and integrity of the partner more. Of course, I do the same with my collaborators.

It's just that before talking about the adaptation, I have a condition, and I hope Minister Gu can refer to it. That is, I hope that the preparation of the filming crew can start after I finish the novel.

The outline of the novel, although I have already conceived it more or less. But I don't want to speed up the completion of the novel in order to adapt the novel into a TV series as soon as possible. Therefore, please understand Minister Gu for this! ”

Under normal circumstances, for some writers, once the work is recognized, or even has the opportunity to adapt, it will be completed in a hurry. As long as the quality of the script is guaranteed, the novel update doesn't care much.

But in Li Shengxian's view, he can have today's fame, and he has been recognized and supported by book fans. If he hastily finishes the book in order to catch up with the TV station, Li Shengxian will feel sorry for the book fans who trust him.

This answer made Gu Chengbiao a little surprised, but he said very seriously: "Writer Li, please rest assured!" As long as you are willing to cooperate with us, we will not rush you about the serialization of the novel.

On the contrary, I am more and more optimistic about this cooperation with you. Nowadays, there are not many writers who make you as serious and responsible. Please also believe in the sincerity of our cooperation with you this time. ”

Seeing that Gu Chengbiao agreed to his conditions, Li Shengxian didn't say anything more, and soon entered into negotiations on the adaptation of the novel. In this process, Gu Chengbiao also really felt that Li Shengxian was a good talker.

Generally, writers are very cautious in directing and selecting actors. Some well-known screenwriters, even in this kind of negotiation, will directly designate that director to shoot. If the station does not agree, the cooperation is terminated.

But Li Shengxian said very directly about the choice of director: "Regarding the filming director of the TV series, this is decided by your station, I have no opinion." I don't know how to shoot, you should be more professional than me in this kind of thing.

As for the selection of actors, I will participate in the selection, but I will only interview for the lead actor of the TV series. As for the supporting roles, it can also be decided by the TV station, and I won't interfere too much.

I believe that since KBS is willing to buy the rights to adapt my novel, I believe it also hopes that the adapted TV series can achieve better ratings, right? I don't want to see the self-smashing signboard, and I believe you don't want to see it either, right? ”

Professional things are the smartest way to do them by professional people!

Hearing Lee Sung-hyun speak so well, Goo Sung-pyun finally understood why MBC said that Lee Sung-hyun was good to work with. It's really rare to see such a reasonable writer who doesn't fight for his rights in Korea!
