Magic City, the science fiction world building.

It's a new day, the Galaxy Awards ceremony has passed, and the writers and guests dispersed yesterday.

Chu He didn't leave because he had to participate in negotiations with Penguin Comics about the royalties of Poetry and the Sea.

This is the largest contract that Chu He has been in contact with so far, and he, as the copyright owner, must participate.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the two sides had already met in a conference room in the building.

The science fiction world sent Yuan Huaying to come forward, after all, Penguin Comics is the leading big company in the industry, and it still has to give enough face.

Chu He followed Yuan Huaying on the scene and became a little follower.

He didn't say anything, just sat by and listened to the negotiations.

The representative of Penguin Comics is Xu Dong, the supervisor of his company, Xu Dong is a middle-aged uncle, very good-looking, wearing a suit, very personable, but also very sharp, not easy to win.

But Yuan Huaying was even sharper, she didn't take the initiative to introduce Chu He, and went straight to the point as soon as she opened her mouth: "Mr. Xu, we have been talking for nearly half a month, I will give a reserve price, 23 million, and the comics and animation adaptations of the Poetry and Sea trilogy will be handed over to your company." ”

Xu Dong listened and took a sip of tea, and the people who came with him looked at each other and smiled, obviously not paying attention to Yuan Huaying's words.

"Miss Yuan, I know that Poetry and Hai I won the Galaxy Award, but you can't add 13 million in one go? It's not a Hugo Award. Xu Dong's tone was very relaxed, he was already familiar with Yuan Huaying, the day before yesterday, the two sides went to eat and drink together, and made a fuss for half the night, but they still had to be serious when negotiating.

Yuan Huaying smiled without saying a word, and turned her eyes to look at a taciturn thin man next to Xu Dong. This man is very thin, one meter seventy-five tall, but he may only be one hundred and ten pounds, and his eyes are bright.

"Mr. Wu Hao, as the project of Penguin Comics, have you read Poetry and the Sea?" Yuan Huaying diverted the topic.

Planning is a very key position, he is responsible for determining the nature of an animation work, the length of the screening, the outline of the story, etc., it can be said that Wu Hao is the leader of the adaptation of poetry and the sea.

"I watched it, it has a lot of adaptation value." Wu Hao nodded.

He is obviously not good at negotiation, and his mind is focused on the value of poetry and the sea.

Yuan Huaying smiled slightly: "Mr. Wu Hao, if you are asked to adapt and produce animation, how much value do you think you can create?" ”

"It's hard to say, tens of millions of levels, depending on Chu Xiaohe's influence in the future, the more awards you win, the higher the value." Wu Hao replied truthfully. What he said was actually saying that the influence of poetry and the sea in the future is very valuable.

Xu Dong next to him was a little anxious, and coughed to correct the topic: "Miss Yuan, our highest price is thirteen million, and it has increased by three million, and it can't be more." ”

The two sides have been talking for half a month, and this is the first time Xu Dong has made concessions.

Yuan Huaying smiled lightly: "Mr. Xu, we are also friends, since you gave three million, then I will also let three million, the price is twenty million, no less." ”

"Miss Yuan, you are too greedy, I don't think it's a way for us to talk about it, I want to meet Chu Xiaohe, the author of Poetry and the Sea." Xu Dong changed the subject.

He hadn't seen Chu Xiaohe yet, and they didn't go to yesterday's awards ceremony.

Yuan Huaying rubbed her temples, a little helpless: "Chu Xiaohe is not good at negotiation, you just want to trick him, don't you?" ”

"Aren't you also planning for us?" Xu Dong was not angry, and glanced at Wu Hao.

Wu Hao looked confused, not knowing what was going on.

"Okay, since everyone is open, I'll convey Chu Xiaohe's words, his psychological price is eighteen million." Yuan Huaying put on a posture of not talking.

Xu Dong raised his eyebrows: "Eighteen million? It's okay to think about it, but I want to see Chu Xiaohe and talk to him in person. “

Xu Dong has already lost.

Yuan Huaying snorted lightly: "I said that we are friends, you still don't believe me?" Chu Xiaohe, you talk to him and tell him if it's eighteen million. ”

Yuan Huaying pointed at Chu He: "He is Chu Xiaohe, I forgot to introduce it just now." ”

The group of people on the opposite side all looked at Chu He in amazement.

Chu He got up and stretched out his hand: "Hello Mr. Xu, hello everyone, I am Chu Xiaohe." ”

The group of people was obviously a little stunned, Xu Dong was shocked, and shook hands with Chu He in a daze: "Which one are you guys playing?" ”

Yuan Huaying motioned to the staff to turn on the computer, and soon the big screen in the conference room lit up, and the picture of Chu He receiving the award was played on it.

The person in front of him was Chu Xiaohe.

Yuan Huaying smiled fans: "Mr. Xu, please continue to talk." ”

Xu Dong was dumbfounded for a while, and smiled bitterly: "He is worthy of being the boss of the science fiction circle, and he can play." ”

It's a joke, and it means that the two sides don't have to talk about it.

Yuan Huaying got up and said, "Eighteen million, happy cooperation." ”

Xu Dong shook hands with her, sighed, and then looked at Chu He: "Mr. Chu is so young and handsome, it's not easy." ”

Chu He was polite, and Xu Dong said again: "I see that you are a little familiar, as if you have seen it somewhere." ”

"The KTV male god on Weibo?" A woman on Xu Dong's right spoke, she was also here to negotiate, her eyes were firmly looking at Chu He.

Chu He was stunned, this was a coincidence, and he met someone who knew him.

"Hmm." Chu He did not deny it, the woman was overjoyed, and leaned close to Xu Dong's ear and said something.

Xu Dong's eyes also lit up: "It's amazing, eighteen million is okay." However, I also hope that Mr. Chu will do more to promote poetry and sea animation. We will adapt the manga first, and it will be serialized within a month, and then it will be adapted into an anime, and you will be notified at that time. ”

Obviously, Xu Dong realized the propaganda energy of Chu He's Internet celebrity identity.

This time it was Yuan Huaying's turn to be stunned: "What KTV male god?" ”

"There are more than three million real fans, and there are countless wives, and there is too much gold in it."

Afternoon.

Liu Qiang sent Chu He to board, and Chu He was going back to Jiangcheng.

"Mr. Chu, just leave the rest to us, you can go back and write with peace of mind." Liu Qiang smiled, with 18 million royalties, he was going to make a lot of money again.

Of course, Chu He is the most profitable, and he is one step closer to the small goal of 100 million.

Chu He smiled and went home.

When it got dark, he returned to the Longding Bay Villa.

The villa was brightly lit but quiet and there was not a single ghost.

Chu He ran to the music room to find Su Muyan, and Su Muyan was really here.

She was crouching in a chair typing, without blinking her eyes, as if she had fallen into a demon.

"Smoke." Chu He shouted, Su Muyan was startled, and then jumped over: "Brother, I'm on fire!" The sales list, recommendation list, and click list are all my first hahaha! ”

Chu He was stunned: "Just your broken book?" ”

"What do you call a broken book! As long as the reader reads the chicken and the chicken tastes good, it is a good book! Anyway, I'm on fire! ”

2945 all booked. I just rushed home today, so I updated and ate, forgive me
