Facing the eyes of the three people of the publishing house full of expectation and doubt.

Shen Shenghui didn't answer, just smiled and said, "You guys finish the work first, let's talk, and you'll know when the time comes!" ”

After speaking, Shen Shenghui turned around and left, and immediately came to Qin Yuhai's office, and told Qin Yuhai what Li Jie had just said about Wang Cheng's science fiction book: "Lao Li's level is still good, he has made money from operating and publishing over the years, and the market response is good." He said it was good, but it was certainly not bad. Coupled with Wang Cheng's fame bonus, I expect this book to be popular. ”

Qin Yuhai also stood up a little excitedly, this is a matter of his lifelong career.

It is already impossible to renew the contract with Wang Cheng.

Then, letting Wang Cheng leave more inheritance for his company as much as possible is what Qin Yuhai is fighting for now.

"Let's go, follow me to meet Wang Cheng."

Qin Yuhai immediately waved his hand at Shen Shenghui.

Shen Shenghui immediately followed, but as soon as the two walked to the door, Qin Yuhai said again: "Go and ask Lao Li if they want a manuscript, let's take a look at the manuscript first, so that it will be more sincere to talk to Wang Cheng later." ”

Shen Shenghui patted his head, immediately ran over, asked Li Jie to make a few copies of the manuscript for him, and while watching, he came to the business car downstairs and handed one of them to Qin Yuhai.

Qin Yuhai took it and looked at it, and said seriously: "To be honest, I haven't read a good book for more than 20 years, and I have never read science fiction." ”

Qin Yuhai carefully read the magazines of that era when he was young, and later he was busy with his career and became a big man in the entertainment industry, so he was not interested in such works, mainly because there were no really good works that could arouse his interest in the past ten years.

Shen Shenghui nodded: "I haven't read one well for many years." ”

The two stopped talking, and there was not much time to go from the company to Wang Cheng's house, so they had to go through the manuscript transcribed today as soon as possible, which was only one or two thousand words, and a simple glance should be enough.

Soon!

The car came to the gate of Wang Cheng's community and stopped, and after being questioned by the security guard, he was let in after revealing his identity.

After getting out of the car, both of them looked a little strange.

Because......

They took a cursory look at the 20,000-word manuscript, and it was indeed more beautiful than they expected.

Suspense has always seduced them!

If it weren't for the lack of time, they would really have to take a closer look.

And now, after a cursory look, they have only one thought in their minds, that is, to finish the book as soon as possible, and they very much want to know the follow-up development.

"If we can win the rights to adapt this book, it will definitely be a big profit, and we better get it before the book is released. Otherwise, after the official release, it will be too difficult to win. ”

Qin Yuhai said in a solemn tone.

After reading it, he can be sure that once this book is released and listed, it will definitely be popular.

The quality itself is absolutely high, coupled with Wang Cheng's popularity, it is inevitable to say that it will explode.

When the time comes, it will definitely attract many entertainment groups at home and abroad to compete, and the explosion of a Matrix Empire will inevitably attract European and American entertainment groups to participate in the competition for Wang Cheng's works, after all, the Matrix is too successful! At this time, Wang Chengxin's sci-fi works will naturally be sought after by them.

Therefore, Qin Yuhai knew that now was the time when the Rubik's Cube Entertainment had the greatest opportunity, and once it was listed, his chances would be very small.

Shen Shenghui nodded: "Let's try our best." ”

The two went upstairs and rang the doorbell in front of Wang Cheng's door.

Not long after Xia Xi inside, he saw Qin Yuhai and Shen Shenghui at the door, so he hurriedly went to the study and asked Wang Cheng: "Wang Cheng, President Qin and Director Shen are here!" ”

Wang Cheng was sitting in a rocking chair, holding a book and looking at it, with a cup of hot tea on the coffee table next to him, and when he heard Xia Xi's words, he nodded lightly and didn't say much.

However, Xia Xi knew that Wang Cheng did not object, that was what it meant to be seen.

So, she turned and opened the door: "Come in!" ”

Qin Yuhai and Shen Shenghui both smiled and nodded, and walked in to change the rules and compromises.

"Wang Cheng, have you had dinner?"

Qin Yuhai asked with a smile.

Xia Xi: "I just finished eating for a while, and I was reading in the study." ”

Qin Yuhai: "Can I go and meet him?" I want to talk to him! ”

Xia Xi: "It should be possible!" ”

Qin Yuhai smiled at Xia Xi again, and then walked to the study, and saw Wang Cheng sitting in a rocking chair inside, shaking it gently, while looking at a book, like that, a retired old scholar who was alive.

Compared with Wang Cheng's young and excessive face, it is really a bit inconsistent.

Qin Yuhai slowly came to the chair beside Wang Cheng and sat down, and said with a smile: "I really envy you, Wang Cheng, you can have such a good attitude." ”

Wang Cheng picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Qin Yuhai, and then continued to read.

Qin Yuhai was also accustomed to Wang Cheng's silence, and he was flattered to be able to pour him a cup of tea, and immediately took a sip of the teacup with both hands, and exclaimed: "Good tea!" I have never drunk this tea a few times in my life. ”

Wang Cheng nodded and agreed with Qin Yuhai's words.

The tea leaves brought by Xia Xi are the tea leaves of the Dahongpao Mother Tree, not all kinds of boasting on the Internet, and the Dahongpao Mother Tree has long announced that it will no longer be picked and has been completely protected.

However, the tea leaves of the Dahongpao Mother Tree were still circulating in the top circle, and he had never drunk them a few times in his previous life.

With Qin Yuhai's status in the circle, which is similar to his previous life, it is naturally difficult to drink this kind of tea.

However, Xia Xi brewed this kind of tea for him every day, and the amount he brought should be a lot, which shows that the energy in Xia Xi's family is extraordinary.

Qin Yuhai saw that Wang Cheng's face was much better than before, and felt that he had found a common topic with Wang Cheng, so he immediately chatted with Wang Cheng about various tea topics, and Wang Cheng also said a word occasionally, which seemed to be very speculative.

Shen Shenghui next to him kept smiling all the time and didn't dare to say a word.

It took more than half an hour before Qin Yuhai cut to the chase and said with a smile: "Wang Cheng, today Xia Xi brought your manuscript over, and we specially called the editor-in-chief of the publishing house to come over to enter and review the manuscript, and Editor-in-Chief Li spoke very highly of your manuscript. Lao Shen and I watched some of them, and they were also very good-looking, hahaha, I won't tell you, I'm still thinking about the plot in it! ”

Wang Cheng's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, and then asked, "Three-Body Problem?" ”

Qin Yuhai nodded: "Yes, three-body problem, science fiction!" You don't know? ”

Wang Cheng: "I don't know. Xia Xi asked me if I could publish it, and I said it didn't matter. However, I didn't expect her to act so quickly! ”

Qin Yuhai and Shen Shenghui immediately glanced at each other, they didn't expect that Wang Cheng didn't know about this, and they were speechless in their hearts.

is such an excellent science fiction book, Wang Cheng really doesn't care at all!

And Xia Xi at the door also said loudly: "I want to give you a surprise when it is listed!" ”

Wang Cheng smiled lightly, stopped talking, and didn't care about it.

Whether it is published or not, he doesn't care.

Anyway, he's just writing for fun.

He read two best-selling science fiction books last time, and he really thought it was too ordinary, so he couldn't help but write the science fiction three-body problem with the most influence in his heart, and then showed it to Xia Xi, he didn't expect that Xia Xi would really publish it after reading it.

Qin Yuhai hurriedly said: "Wang Cheng, the structure of this book is very large and exciting. I guess you want more people to know, right? ”

Xia Xi said softly: "I think more people should know what real science fiction looks like." ”

Wang Cheng listened to the words of the two, looked at Qin Yuhai, and said lightly: "What you want to say, you can say it directly!" ”

Qin Yuhai nodded: "Okay, then I'll be straightforward, I know you don't like to go around in circles." That's the case, I want to buy the film and television rights of this book on behalf of Rubik's Cube Entertainment. The initial plan I gave you is that we will cooperate to set up an independent production company to produce and operate the film and television works of this book, and you will not pay a penny, enjoy 50% of the shares, and we will do all the rest, how about it? ”

Shen Shenghui and Xia Xi's eyes lit up slightly when they heard this, such a cooperation plan is undoubtedly more in line with Wang Cheng's interests.

And Wang Cheng listened to Qin Yuhai's words and said softly: "In terms of film and television copyright, I don't have an idea yet. Because, this book was written as a temporary interest to me, and I don't know if I will write it later. Therefore, I will not sell the film and television rights for the time being. ”

"If I'm interested in writing later, I'll consider film and television copyrights!"

"I wouldn't have thought about it until then. You know what I mean? ”

Wang Cheng's words made Qin Yuhai and Shen Shenghui both slightly disappointed, but this was also what they had expected, Wang Cheng's things, how could they be so easy to get them?

Failure is the most normal outcome.

However, getting accurate information about copyright from Wang Cheng is also good news for Qin Yuhai, at least he has more useful information than others.

The next time he really competes, he's got the first opportunity!

It's just that......

Wang Cheng's unsure whether to continue writing made him speechless.

The Matrix is so popular, the box office is rushing to the top of the world film history list, but I am not sure whether to make a sequel.

And this sci-fi, he also predicted that it would explode, and Wang Cheng still didn't want to write a sequel......

If they had said it before, they wouldn't have believed it.

Are there still people in the world who don't want money?

However, after meeting Wang Cheng, they believed that Wang Cheng could do such a thing.

Fame and fortune are really within reach for Wang Cheng!

Qin Yuhai was silent for a moment, and then said: "Wang Cheng, then when this instinct can make film and television works in the future, how about we cooperate again?" I hope that when the time comes, you will give priority to our company. The cooperation program I just mentioned has always worked. If you're not satisfied, we can discuss! Even if I give you a controlling stake, I can say yes! ”

Wang Cheng picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea, an expression of enjoyment appeared on his face, then put down the teacup and said softly: "What hasn't happened yet, I can't say anything, let's talk about it later!" ”

A trace of disappointment flashed in Qin Yuhai's eyes again, Wang Cheng didn't give him any promises, and he was helpless at the moment, but he was helpless.

This is Wang Cheng......

Then, Qin Yuhai gave Shen Shenghui a look.

Shen Shenghui immediately came to his senses, immediately took out a contract from his bag, handed it to Wang Cheng with both hands and said, "Wang Cheng, this is about the publication contract of this three-body problem." We give you the largest royalty share, nineteen percent, we one, you take ninety, and there is no word game, not a share after going out to publicize, or according to the sales to share, the contract is clearly written. ”

Wang Cheng raised his eyebrows, nineteen percent, he took ninety, this is a proper and incredible sharing contract in the publishing field.

He had also published books in his previous life, so he naturally knew that the division of the publishing field was different from others.

Because, publishing a book really requires a lot of investment, such as printing and transportation, such as publicity and distribution channels, and so on!

Sell a book and give him ninety percent, he has no doubt that the publishing house and Rubik's Cube Entertainment will really not make a penny, and there is a high probability that they may lose money!

Of course, if sales explode and the cost of printing and transportation is low enough, the publisher should be able to make some, but not much.

Wang Cheng did not refuse this contract, picked it up and looked at it, made sure that there were no traps in it, and directly picked up the pen handed by Shen Shenghui and wrote his name on it.

Shen Shenghui smiled slightly: "Happy cooperation, Wang Cheng!" ”

Wang Cheng nodded, didn't speak, just silently put away the contract that belonged to him.

Xia Xi breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Wang Cheng's book was 100% ready to be published.

She used to publish it first, because she was afraid that Wang Cheng would not agree and did not want to publish it, but she didn't want Wang Cheng's good works to be buried, and at the same time, she also hoped that Wang Cheng's talent could be known and recognized by more people.

At this time, seeing that Wang Cheng had signed the publishing contract, Xia Xi breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Wang Cheng should not blame himself.

After signing the contract, Qin Yuhai and Shen Shenghui got up to say goodbye, they could talk for more than half an hour here with Wang Cheng this time, which was already the longest time they had been with Wang Cheng since they had known Wang Cheng for so long.

This made Qin Yuhai and Shen Shenghui both in a very good mood.

As long as they can have a good relationship with Wang Cheng, they believe that they will be able to represent and produce more of Wang Cheng's works in the future.

Even if Wang Cheng's contract expires and he really retires, they can always eat the dividends of Wang Cheng's traffic.

Leaving Wang Cheng's house, Qin Yuhai immediately instructed Shen Shenghui: "Next, the company's focus is to publicize and distribute Wang Cheng's book. ”

Shen Shenghui nodded immediately: "I know, I will keep an eye on the whole process!" ”

Both of them want to perform as well as possible, and leave a better impression on Wang Cheng when the time comes, so that it will be more advantageous to compete for film and television rights in the future!

And the next few days.

Xia Xi still took Wang Cheng's manuscript to the Rubik's Cube Entertainment headquarters on time every day to transcribe and enter it, and Li Jie and the three of them also successfully completed the entry, and at the same time, they really finished reading this book.

Li Jie keeps muttering every day: "This is real science fiction, it's really well written." ”

When Shen Shenghui saw that the transcription was over, he immediately officially started the publicity, and immediately used all the resources of Rubik's Cube Entertainment to promote this book.

Of course......

He also knew that as long as the fact that Wang Cheng was the original author was publicized, it was actually enough.
