Chapter 12 Let's Invest Together
"I want to acquire the standalone TV series rights to this novel, and the maximum I can offer is 800,000."
"Mr. Lu, that's impossible. The novel 'The Journey of Flower' is a top-tier work in the Xianxia category on Jinjiang Literature City."
"Even though 80 yuan is only for the TV series rights, it's still too little!"
"You should know that this is a mature and highly popular IP, and one of the top works on Jinjiang Literature City."
……
The person speaking on Jinjiang kept rambling on and on about how good the novel was.
The two talked on the phone for a long time, and Lu Yuan finally reached an agreement with Jinjiang for 100 million yuan.
Jinjiang will also send someone to Yanjing to confirm this cooperation and sign the contract between the two parties.
Of course, they also need to notify the author and distribute the copyright fees to the author.
Fortunately, the author of "The Journey of Flower" is not Tong Hua, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get this much money.
After all, Tong Hua's "Scarlet Heart" had already become a huge hit by this time.
Acquiring the film and television rights to her later works will not be so easy.
After finalizing the specifics of the cooperation, Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
As for Huang Daoji and the other two, even if they don't end up liking them, they can always ask Wang Xing for help!
Now we're just waiting for my parents to come to Beijing and for people from Jinjiang to come over.
He was extremely happy to be about to acquire the rights to a TV series based on this novel.
He also wanted "Love O2O," but the copyright to the novel had already been sold.
Therefore, the copyright for "The Journey of Flower" is still the most reliable.
The three of them were completely engrossed in the story, occasionally analyzing the plot logic and how to write the script.
In short, I'm thinking about the problem from a professional perspective.
However, all three of them felt that the novel was pretty good, but they wondered how it would turn out if it were adapted into a TV series!
Of course, investing involves risks, and they all know that!
"This novel is good. Lao Lu, you have a good eye. Anyway, I've invested. Now let's see if those two want to compete with me for the share."
After watching for a while, Wang Xing directly expressed his thoughts. He was going to vote anyway, so he didn't think too much about it.
"Okay, wait for the two of them. Oh, by the way, I just negotiated with them. The TV series rights are 100 million."
"I'll invest 600,000 myself, and you guys can invest the rest as you see fit," Lu Yuan explained the situation.
Wang Xing nodded, "Okay, I can cover the 40 myself, but let's see what the other two say."
He was just making up the numbers for the investment anyway, so it didn't matter how much he invested.
Moreover, this project was chosen by Lu Yuan, so there's nothing wrong with him investing so much in it.
If he hadn't known that Lu Yuan didn't have that much money, Lu Yuan probably would have bought it for 100 million by himself!
Because he could tell that Lu Yuan was serious about buying the rights to this novel this time!
And it was urgent, otherwise I wouldn't have borrowed money from him.
If he's not in a rush, he can come up with 60 yuan right now.
Once the songs make money, raising 100 million will be a breeze.
When do you plan to film it?
"How about the four of us do it ourselves and find someone to film this series?"
"You're the male lead. It's a shame you're not one," Wang Xing said, smiling as he looked him up and down.
Hearing this, Lu Yuan shook his head with a wry smile on his face.
"We don't have that much money. This novel is a fantasy novel; it's not something that can be filmed with a small amount of money!"
Wang Xing nodded in agreement, "That's true!"
He can come up with several million, and he can also ask his parents for some.
However, to make a good fantasy drama like this, you need to create special effects, which can't be done with just a few thousand dollars.
He's someone who hasn't filmed anything yet, and he's already working on a big project right away.
His parents wouldn't dare play like that with him! After all, nobody's money comes easily.
"Let's hold onto the copyright first, and then film it when we've made it big."
Wang Xing laughed and didn't take the fact that they couldn't film immediately seriously.
The two discussed the novel's content for a while longer and roughly calculated how much money might be needed to invest in it.
Huang Daoji and Chen Keyu noticed that the two of them were having such a lively conversation.
Moreover, I had basically figured out the content of the novel's earlier parts, and thus confirmed my own thoughts.
"This novel is good; I think it's worth submitting," Chen Keyu said earnestly.
Huang Daoji nodded, "Me too."
"Old Lu said he would spend a total of 100 million yuan to buy the TV series copyright. He himself had 60 yuan, and now he is still short 40 yuan."
"We'll split the 40. How do you want to divide it?"
Wang Xing looked at the two of them as if they were discussing a business deal worth forty dollars, very relaxed.
"I'll invest 10," Huang Daoji said through gritted teeth, stating the amount he could afford.
"Then Lao Huang and I will each invest 10, and you can invest 20," Chen Keyu decided immediately.
"Okay, it's decided then. If you can't raise the money right now, I can cover it for you first."
Wang Xing considered the two of them for a moment, because not everyone has as much New Year's money as him!
Chen Keyu's family is somewhat extraordinary, but that doesn't mean he can spend money extravagantly.
The same applies to Huang Daoji's side, so he was willing to cover their expenses first.
"I'm going out to make a call, we'll talk later," Huang Daoji nodded.
He invested his own money, of course he would use his own money, it doesn't seem right to use Wang Xing's money.
"No need, I have enough money saved up," Chen Keyu shook his head.
He really did have money saved in the card, but he hadn't touched it until now.
Although he didn't have as much money in his account as Wang Xing, he still had over 20 yuan.
Of the brothers in this dormitory, only Lu Yuan and Huang Daoji are poor and have no savings.
Huang Daoji, like Lu Yuan, also made a phone call to his parents.
Finally, after much pleading and cajoling, he managed to get 10 yuan in support from his parents.
In this way, all four roommates invested in Lu Yuan's project of buying the TV series copyright for "The Journey of Flower".
It's clear that all four of them genuinely want to stay in this industry, and they also have a very good relationship.
Soon the money from the group was deposited into Lu Yuan's account, and the group chatted and laughed together.
They began happily planning for the future, addressing each other as "Director So-and-so".
It's as if they've already become well-known directors in the entertainment industry.
The smile didn't reveal the weariness of being battered by society, but rather a burning passion for the future.
At this moment, Lu Yuan also rediscovered the passion he had once had and was full of youthful vigor.
Of course, he himself did not notice these subtle changes.
Lu Changhe and his wife had already taken leave and flew to Yanjing overnight.
They wanted to see what state their son was in and whether buying the copyright was a reliable idea.
Little did they know that even if they contributed 60, they would still be short 40.
Lu Yuan wouldn't tell the two of them this.
That's a much larger investment; telling them would only make them worry, and it wouldn't make any sense.
