Chapter 20, the princess of the capital?
Tonghua didn't hang up the phone at all, but quietly handed the phone to Teacher Beihai.
As for Teacher Beihai's sentence about how much money he paid, Lin Yuan heard it directly.
Frankly speaking, Xia Yin tells the story of a young chivalrous Li Tianran, who went deep into the alleys and alleys of the ancient capital in order to find the culprit of the Shimen bloody case.
But more of it is a work of mourning in the old capital, written about the memories of Teacher Beihai when he was a child.
The novel's description of the old capital is precise in detail, mellow in taste, and has a "bone-to-flesh texture"
The depicted capital is a "paradise for the rich and a peaceful world for the common people".
Mr. Beihai was born in Beiping, went to Huaxia Bend at the age of 13, and then stayed in the United States for half his life.
Tradition and modernity, the market and the rivers and lakes, the most Chinese and the most Western, the most ordinary and the most legendary, all come together to create an ideal city.
And the real capital has long since disappeared, and Mr. Beihai just used words to resurrect it and bring it to life.
Therefore, rather than saying that "Xia Yin" is a martial arts novel, it is more like a book of customs and folk sentiments, which has no characteristics for the description of rivers and lakes, martial arts, and sects, but directly refers to the nostalgia of Beiping in the Republic of China, which is indissolvably rich.
Lin Yuan especially likes a sentence in the book:
He still handed the oil umbrella to Qiao Hong, turned his head to look at the sky, reached out to catch the rain floating in the air, and another hand, "What kind of rain is this?"
A smile appeared on her face, "What is this called rain?" ”
He grabbed another handful of rain and showed her another hand, "This is called a cloud from the sky." ”
Moreover, in the book, the head of the book is the Tao in terms of Lao Bei's surprise, which is eloquent.
Cabbage and pork dumplings, enema, fried liver, bean juice, when reading a book, Lin Yuan will swallow saliva greedily.
At that time, he always thought about how this "happy revenge" story always made people want to eat something.
Because of this, the value of Xia Yin's novel adapted into a film and television drama is not high, and in the previous life, it was sought after, which is also the reason why there are no excellent works to be filmed, capitalists and directors prefer copyrights and hype.
However, this chivalrous hide, if it is published, it must be the object of competition for favor.
The book in the previous life was also published in 2007 at the Modu People's Publishing House, and now in 2005, Mr. Beihai has been creating it for three years.
It took him six years from the beginning of writing to the publication of this book.
To be precise, his creative lifeline was from 2002 to 2008, because after the publication of the first edition, Mr. Beihai also revised the original work.
A second edition of the book was published.
Having said that, the copyright price of publishing paper books is much cheaper, Lin Yuan said: "Teacher Beihai, the reason why I like your work very much is because I love your words. ”
"Actually, I think words are the sexiest thing, they can blossom under the author's pen and become everything he wants to become."
"I am the North Amazing, and your description of the old capital makes me yearn for the capital at that time."
"But we all know that it can only be revived under words, and it is true that it can never be recovered."
"It's very difficult for this work to become a film and television work, and it doesn't have the youth and drama of Kirika's novel, so I can only bid 100,000 to 150,000. I can't accept it anymore. ”
Lin Yuan still feels that he has to be honest, even if Sister Jiang filmed him as evil and not over good, it was also another adapted script.
Lin Yuan bought it, and the content had to be filled in by himself.
Zhang Beihai thought about it, this price is indeed more expensive than publishing, but, "Mr. Lin, I actually imagined that this Xia Yin can be made into a film and television work." ”
"If you can guarantee that this work can be filmed, I may be able to consider giving you the copyright for 200,000 yuan. 150,000 is a bit low. ”
On the one hand, he is a northerner, with a rough and direct personality, on the other hand, he has lived in the United States for a long time and does not like to beat around the bush.
"Okay, 200,000 is 200,000, but this work will not necessarily be named after Xia Yin."
"I know that." Hokkaido.
"That's no problem, thank you, Mr. Beihai, this is really my most unexpected gain today."
Does Beihai fancy money?
No one can tell.
In fact, he values fame and status more than money.
Lin Yuan didn't expect that for 600,000 yuan, he would win all the copyrights of the three works of Step by Step, The Desert Ballad and Xia Yin.
Because Mr. Zhang Beihai's Xia Yin has not completely finished his creation, Lin Yuan only needs to pay 100,000 first.
Therefore, he only needs to arrange 300,000 yuan to sign the contract, and then divide the copyright of the three books into his own.
Lin Yuan didn't have time to pass, at this time, he arranged for Li Xuexue to handle it on his behalf. Then let Shao Wei, the business manager of Mingyuan Media, go to the United States to dock work.
The IP copyright and operation of these three works will also be operated by Mingyuan Media in the future.
Dad refused to invest at the beginning because he doubted his ability, but when these three works are realized in the future, Lin Mingchuan will know how tricky and vicious his son's vision is.
The casting is frightening step by step, because it is the same theme as the palace in the previous life, Master Liu and Da Mimi can be considered, and the evil of chivalry does not suppress the right, and the heroine can undoubtedly be controlled by the princess of the capital.
If it's inconvenient for her, Sister Tao can also think about it, and others won't be able to shoot that taste.
Because of the time difference between Mi and Huaxia, it was daytime over there, and it was already late at night on Lin Yuan's side.
He just said to wash up and go to bed.
But I was noisy on the phone again.
Who is still calling so late? looked at the phone, it turned out to be Yuan Tao and Yuan Zong. Lin Yuan thought about it at this time, today is still the day when his album was released.
Yuan Tao called at this time, and it was estimated that he was telling himself about the sales of the album.
Won it step by step, Lin Yuan's next step is to kill immortals, and then create his own cultural creation studio, specializing in docking the starting point, cooperating with some IPs, digging up some writers, gunner Gu Man's trilogy, Hua Qiangu and other works.
And that's what money is needed.
"Mr. Yuan, I haven't slept so late."
Yuan Tao laughed and said, "You didn't sleep either." ”
"What's the matter, so happy, say it to make me happy too." Lin Yuandao.
"I'm making this call to you, don't you just want to make you happy, the first day of sales of the popular album has come out, guess how much?"
"I guess, about fifty or sixty thousand. I heard that a video store in Beijing has produced 30,000 or 40,000 copies. ”
"Not true. Guess boldly. Yuan Tao laughed even more wantonly.
"Is it sixty or seventy thousand?"
"Why are you so daring?"
"Mr. Yuan, don't tease me, give me a good time, how much?" Lin Yuan was very much looking forward to Yuan Tao.
