Liu Cixin pondered and weighed the pros and cons, and Wang Xiaoxiao was not in a hurry, waiting quietly.

She remembered what Gu Cancan had just said before looking for Liu Cixin.

"Xiaoxiao, from the perspective of film adaptation, everything of Da Liu can be adapted into a movie. Because he is the most well-known science fiction writer in China, especially after "The Three-Body Problem" came out as a single book, he has basically established the supremacy of Da Liu's first science fiction person in China. ”

"We're all fans of Da Liu, I admit it, but you said that everything is suitable for adaptation, which is a bit too much."

"Hehe, silly girl, I'm not as good as you in terms of business capital operation, but you're not as good as me in movies. Why was it adapted into a movie? It's not to sell books, it's to sell tickets. In other words, the factor that can help the box office accounts for a large proportion of whether to adapt or not. Among all the science fiction writers in China, before the next best-selling science fiction writer appears, all of Da Liu's lies down and wins on this factor. For professional film screenwriters, there is basically no technical difficulty in adapting Da Liu. The rest is a matter of business. As long as you are sure that you want to adapt, the rest are technical issues that can be solved. ”

"What you say doesn't look like what Da Liu's fans said at all."

"Hehe, it was purely from a commercial point of view. Now domestic science fiction movies are a pool of backwater, and special effects technology is not good, shooting science fiction movies is a very risky thing, but this is also an opportunity to overtake in corners. My attempt to shoot "Heartbreaker" was an attempt. ”

"Is it really to buy all the copyrights of Da Liu?"

"Haha, if Da Liu is willing to sell, then of course. However, he is definitely not willing to sell all the copyrights, so we have to focus on a few parts, which must be bought. ”

Liu Cixin's wife sent a plate of fruit: "Come on, don't just talk, eat some fruit." ”

Wang Xiaoxiao came back to her senses from her memories and smiled at Liu Cixin's wife: "Thank you, sister." ”

Liu Cixin's wife looked very happy, and enthusiastically stuffed an apple into Wang Xiaoxiao's hand.

"As far as I know, generally speaking, film and television copyrights have a time limit, and you want all the film and television copyrights, can you finish filming?" Liu Cixin asked, he has more than 30 existing short stories, plus the long story "The Three-Body Problem", the bright era wants all the copyrights, not to mention whether the other party can shoot well, can so many be filmed?

Wang Xiaoxiao smiled: "Mr. Liu, as long as you are willing to sell, we have the confidence to shoot, even if you don't shoot, you can sell the film and television copyright again after the copyright expires." ”

As long as the copyright is in hand, even if you don't shoot it, you can be a second-class dealer, even if it is rotten in your hands and you can't make it in the end, there is not much loss.

Liu Cixin's wife gave Liu Cixin a look.

Speaking of which, Liu Cixin's income is high, he can earn more than 300,000 yuan a year from his own work and writing, plus the publication copyright fee of "The Three-Body Problem", this year's income is as high as one million.

However, no one will have too much money, and Liu Cixin's daughter is studying in college in Beijing, so the couple also discussed buying a suite in Beijing, one is to accompany their daughter, and the other is that if their daughter stays in Beijing to work in the future, this suite will also solve the problem of accommodation in the future.

But the housing prices in the capital are already daunting, even if Liu Cixin wants to buy a suite in the capital, he must buy it, but after buying, life will inevitably have a little pressure.

At this time, Liu Cixin and his wife were actually willing to buy the film and television copyrights in the bright era, but Wang Xiaoxiao opened his mouth and asked for all the film and television copyrights, which scared Liu.

"Actually, it is beneficial for me for you to buy all the film and television copyrights, after all, the income has increased. But as far as I know, the film and television rights are generally seven to ten years, and I don't think you have enough time to adapt them into movies. I suggest that you choose a few with a focus. After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Cixin still refused Wang Xiaoxiao's request to buy all his film and television copyrights.

On the one hand, the kind-hearted Liu Cixin thinks that the bright era does not have enough time to shoot everything, and buying so many film and television copyrights will be part of the money in vain, and then he can sell the film and television copyrights to other film and television companies, and he doesn't want to put all his eggs in one basket.

In the end, Bright Times bought the film and television rights of "The Country Teacher", "The Devourer", "The Wandering Earth", "The Chinese Sun", "The Round Soap Bubble", "Supporting God", "Supporting Mankind", "Ball Lightning", "Full Band Blocking Interference", "Sea of Dreams", "Devil Building Blocks", "Poetry Cloud", "Earth Fire", "Earth Cannon", and "Bring Her Eyes".

The price is not expensive, with an average of 100,000 yuan for a piece, but Liu Cixin and his wife are already very satisfied, which has a copyright fee of more than one million.

It's not that the bright era is stingy or black-hearted, and now the film and television copyright fee is this market, and there are very few people who can sell film and television copyrights, and it is even rarer to buy more than a dozen films at one time with such a large amount of money as the bright era.

What's more, what the Bright Times wants is not only Liu Cixin's works, but also other writers', and the cost factor must also be considered.

Gu Cancan wanted to give a high price, but Wang Xiaoxiao and Su Luo unceremoniously snuffed out her idea of wanting a trench.

At Liu Cixin's home, Wang Xiaoxiao and Liu Cixin finalized the purchase of film and television rights for fifteen short stories, and it only took two hours, which was almost unusual.

"Mr. Liu, if you have no opinion, then we will come over with the contract tomorrow, and we will officially sign the contract." Wang Xiaoxiao smiled very happily.

"No problem." Liu Cixin is also very happy, among science fiction writers, the only person who sells film and television copyrights is He Xi, who was also purchased by Bright Times, and now Bright Times has bought his fifteen film and television copyrights at one time, which has brought him a lot of income.

Liu Cixin's wife hesitated for a while, then said, "That, Miss Wang." ”

"You can call me Xiao Wang or smile." Wang Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

"Hehe, okay, Xiao Wang, do you only need the film and television rights of the short story? Our Lao Liu still has a long story "The Three-Body Problem", haven't you considered it? Mrs. Liu couldn't help but mention Liu Cixin's only long story "The Three-Body Problem".

Of course, "The Three-Body Problem" will not be missed, "The Three-Body Problem" is Liu Cixin's only feature, and it is also the one that Gu Cancan values the most.

However, there is a problem here, Liu Cixin is writing the last two parts, and now the second part of "The Three-Body Problem" has not been written.

Wang Xiaoxiao smiled and said: ""The Three-Body Problem" is my favorite feature-length sci-fi, but the content in this one involves that period of the past, and the three-body human weapon "Water Drop" set by Mr. Liu is full of extreme imagination, I can't imagine how to express it in the picture, so it is very difficult to adapt "The Three-Body Problem" into film and television. ”

Mrs. Liu said disappointedly: "Then don't you plan to buy "The Three-Body Problem"? ”

"Intellectually speaking, the film and television of "Three-Body Problem" is a very difficult thing, but Cancan strongly asks us to buy the film and television copyright of "Three-Body Problem", by the way, Mr. Liu, I heard that you are still writing the second part?"

Liu Cixin nodded slowly and said, "Yes, the second part is coming to an end." ”

"Really!?" Wang Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up a little: "Then what do you think of this, we bought the film and television copyright of "Three-Body Problem", but with an additional condition, no matter how many "Three-Body Problem" there are, we have the right of first refusal to purchase film and television copyrights in the bright era, how about it?" ”

Liu Cixin thought about it for a long time and agreed to this condition.

The film and television copyright of "The Three-Body Problem" was finally purchased for 500,000 yuan in the bright era, which is much more conscientious than the wanderers of the original time and space.

……

This matter was completed very smoothly, and as a fan of Da Liu, Wang Xiaoxiao returned to the capital with a good mood.

"It's great, wife, I've bought all the film and television rights I want." Gu Cancan kissed Wang Xiaoxiao and said very happily.

"Are you going to shoot Da Liu next?" Wang Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

Gu Cancan shook his head: "No, wait first, now the Chinese film market and special effects technology can't support a big-budget sci-fi blockbuster, wait for the release of "Heartbreaker" to see the audience's reaction." However, at the latest, the bright era of tomorrow and the next year will begin to start making big-budget sci-fi movies. ”

"I'm sure you can do it!" Wang Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of encouragement and looked at Gu Cancan.

"Haha, of course. You have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow we have to talk about something with the happy twist people. Gu Cancan said with a smile.

"What's the matter?"

"One of the founders of Happy Twist wants to exit and sell his shares."

……

At the beginning of the creation of Happy Twist, there were three shareholders, the founders Zhang Chen, Yu Kai and Tian Youliang, each of whom held 33.33% of the shares.

The following year, Tian Youliang withdrew and sold his shares to Yu Kai.

After that, Zhang Yiwei and Tian Cui entered the market, and the shares became 50% for Yu Kai, 30% for Zhang Chen, and 10% for Zhang Yiwei and Tian Cui.

Two years later, Bright Times increased its capital and entered the market, contributing 300,000 yuan and getting 10% of the shares.

It should be explained here that at that time, the valuation of Happy Twist had just reached 2 million, and 300,000 of the bright times took 10% of the shares, which was a premium, and one of the conditions was that when the shareholders of Happy Twist had the intention to withdraw from selling shares, Bright Times was the first priority buyer.

In 2008, Yu Kai had resigned from all his positions in Happy Twist due to physical reasons and was in a state of retirement, and it was Yu Kai who sold his shares this time.

Although there are not many shares in the bright era, but in this meeting and share acquisition, several shareholders of Happy Twist have come to Bright Times, rather than people from Bright Times to Happy Twist.

After the guests and hosts were seated, Gu Cancan personally attended the meeting.

"Is Mr. Yu's health better?" Gu Cancan greeted Yu Kai first.

Yu Kai is an alumnus of Wang Xiaoxiao, graduated from Beijing University, and is Wang Xiaoxiao's senior brother.

"It's been okay lately, thank you Miss Gu for your concern." Yu Kai's body was slightly fat, his face was sallow, and he looked sick.

A few words of greeting, to the point.

Wang Xiaoxiao said: "Mr. Yu, do you now hold 50% of the shares of Happy Twist?" ”

"Yes. Because of physical reasons, I plan to sell them all, do I plan to take them all over? ”

"Yes, since Mr. Yu has confirmed the sale, let's discuss the current valuation of Happy Twist." Wang Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, and her temperament changed suddenly and became sharp.

If Gu Cancan is a luminous body, then now even she can't block Wang Xiaoxiao's edge.

"Happy Twist performed 126 performances last year, and finally made a profit of 750,000 yuan." Wang Xiaoxiao raised the report in his hand and said calmly: "As of yesterday, August 29, there were 88 Happy Twist performances, and it is expected that there will be 135-145 performances throughout the year, and the profit is expected to be 880,000." Looking at it this way, the valuation of Happy Twist Company is about 4 million. ”

Happy Twist has different faces from several shareholders.

Although Happy Twist has been making a profit now, the drama market is indeed quite depressed, even if Happy Twist can be said to be the first drama team in China, the income is still not high, since its establishment in 2003, it has been five years now, and the annual profit has not exceeded one million.

The valuation of the company that Wang Xiaoxiao just said, combined with the profit, gives a valuation of five times, which is considered the market price, and does not lower the price, of course, there is no premium.

"Mr. Wang, although the current profitability of Happy Twist is not high, the drama market is expanding year by year, and Happy Twist will still have a lot to do in the future, so I think this valuation is low." Zhang Chen opened his mouth and said that although he had no intention of selling his shares, he still wanted to strive for higher value.

Wang Xiaoxiao pushed the rimless glasses and said calmly: "Judging from market research, the drama market does not have a starting posture, and this valuation is ......."

She was about to continue, but Gu Cancan patted the back of Wang Xiaoxiao's hand and stopped the rest of the words.

"At the beginning, I invested in Happy Twist in the bright times, and I single-handedly contributed to it." Gu Cancan said with a smile: "One of the reasons is also because I love drama and like twist performances." In the long run, Happy Twist at least won't make me lose money. In this way, the company's valuation will increase by another 10%, which will be counted as 4.4 million, and all the shares will be bought in the bright era. ”

Although Bright Times has the right of first refusal, it is also possible for other shareholders to sell Yu Kai to others in case of a premium purchase.

Gu Cancan didn't want to spend time talking about hundreds of thousands, so he quickly cut through the mess and directly increased it by 10%, asking for all the shares in Yu Kai's hands.

Yu Kai no longer hesitated this time and immediately agreed.

In 03, he only contributed 100,000 yuan, and later took over Tian Youliang's shares, but he only took an additional 200,000 yuan, and in a few years, 300,000 yuan became 2.2 million, an increase of nearly 8 times, which can be said to be a very successful investment.

When this matter was finalized, Gu Cancan was very happy.

"I'm still happy, in my opinion, I can win it for less than 2 million." Wang Xiaoxiao said dissatisfiedly, her negotiation skills had not yet been implemented, and she was disrupted by Gu Cancan's arrogant price increase.

"Hehe, don't look at the present, look to the future." Gu Cancan said with a grin.

"I don't feel like there's any future, the drama market is so depressed." Wang Xiaoxiao muttered.

Gu Cancan just wanted to say something, Wang Mengmeng knocked on the door and walked in: "Cancan, Zhang Chun wants to meet you." ”

"Zhang Chun? What does he want to see me for? Gu Cancan was puzzled.

"It seems that there is a problem with the production of "Big Fish and Begonia"."
