Chapter 59 Selling Film Adaptation Rights
I heard Old Man Lin talking about teachers’ apartments.

Yang Xiao felt even more guilty at this time.

He didn't dare to answer this question, so he immediately asked back:

"Then why doesn't Mr. Kobayashi live in the apartment over there?"

"Haha, it's just too far. Anyway, I have another house here that I don't plan to rent out. This place is close to school and convenient for her to go to work, so why not just let her live here."

Old Man Lin shook his head with a look of disappointment, "Young people nowadays don't want to endure even the slightest bit of hardship, and they complain about this and that. Back then, we were lucky to have anything, so who would dare to pick and choose?"

Seeing that her uncle was lecturing her again, Lin Wanting looked troubled and helpless.

But she didn't dare to say anything back and could only listen patiently.

But when she heard what Old Man Lin said just now, that Yang Xiao did not go to live in the teachers' apartment, she felt a little suspicious.

strangeness.

Aren't there still a lot of empty rooms over there?

How could Teacher Yang say no?
"Teacher Lin, take your time to clean up. I'm going to go back first."

Yang Xiao was also afraid that other things would be brought up. When he saw that the work was done, he did not want to stay long and said goodbye immediately.

Lin Wantong said: "Okay, thank you, Teacher Yang."

Old Man Lin nodded and suddenly called him: "By the way, Xiao Yang, what year were you born in?"

“Uh, I was born in 88.”

"Oh, it's about two or three years old. OK, take your time, Xiao Yang."

The more Yang Xiao listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He didn't want to get involved any more, so he quickened his pace and walked back to his own room.

Old Man Lin looked at Yang Xiao's departing back, wondering what he was thinking.

Then he threw away the cigarette butt and looked at Lin Wantong with a smile.

"Wantong, what do you think of this guy?"

Lin Wantong said with a strange look on her face: "Uncle, what do you mean by this?"

"Hey, I think this guy is pretty good. He's polite, knows how to talk and behave, and doesn't seem to have any bad habits. I just don't know what his family situation is like."

"Stop, uncle, please stop right now. You don't want to introduce him to me, do you?"

“It’s not impossible!”

Old Man Lin glared and said, "Your parents are not here, and they entrusted you to me. I have to take all aspects into consideration for you. Besides, if you are not satisfied with this one, your aunt still has a group of young talents. How about asking her to introduce you another day?"

Lin Wantong rolled her eyes: "Come on, it's still early. I decide my own affairs. You don't need to worry about me."

Return to his own rental house.

Yang Xiao was speechless.

He found that he was telling lies one after another and he couldn't stop.

Take the lie that old man He Lin told, for example.

Even though this lie was exposed, it should not be a big deal to Yang Xiao.

After all, the rental contract has been signed.

Besides, Yang Xiao is not a criminal, so old man Lin would not take the house back.

Just like this.

In the eyes of others, Yang Xiao's character seems a little insincere and the impression he leaves is not very good.

Therefore, at this point, I have no choice but to continue pretending.

Let's see how long we can keep it a secret.

Anyway, we will just have to improvise when the time comes.

Yang Xiao shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

The computer is turned on at this time.

Then I logged into Douban and Weibo.

Basically, he would take some time every day to read the private messages from various backstage people.

After updating the post "My girlfriend of ten years is getting married tomorrow", the song "Miss Dong" added fuel to the fire.

The popularity of this post has remained high, much higher than the original time and space.

During this period, he has received many private messages from magazines, asking for cooperation in publishing and reprinting their works. The price is not too expensive.

But there are more than the previous "Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li".

Yang Xiao has sold some licenses gradually and earned nearly 15,000 yuan.

There was also a private message, which was a book publishing request from a company called Jiangnan Literature and Art Publishing House.

Two options were provided to Yang Xiao: buyout and profit sharing.

The buyout price is thirty thousand dollars.

As for profit sharing, 10,000 yuan will be paid in the beginning, and the subsequent payments will be made in installments based on the number of publications and whether they are popular and reprinted.

Yang Xiao chose the former without thinking.

Originally, the price of the first plan was even higher, and the other party offered a price of 50,000 yuan.

But the other party had another request. They wanted Yang Xiao to continue to fill in more plot stories so that they could publish books with more words to facilitate the pricing of their books.

But Yang Xiao rejected the request.

Damn it, buy it if you want!

I don't have so much time to continue writing now.

If you have this idea, wouldn’t it be nice to start a new story?

That way you can make more money!
So, Yang Xiao simply gave them a discount of 20,000 yuan.

Anyway, the framework is here, so after they buy it, they can just fill in a few plot lines themselves.

As for the share of the copyright fees for the second plan, Yang Xiao didn't think much of it at all.

Readers can read things for free online, and buy books more for collection, so sales are definitely not optimistic.

He was satisfied with the one-time sale of the book copyright for 30,000 yuan.

Yang Xiao now just wants to make some quick money. After getting it in his hands and putting it in pocket, he will feel more confident in doing things.

(Note that the book publishing fee and magazine layout fee are not the same fee, so Yang Xiao can sell them together.)
After reading the private messages on Douban, Yang Xiao turned to the backend of Weibo.

It took a long time to read.

at last.

Among the comments from a group of female fans, he found a unique private message.

The other party claimed to be a staff member from Huayi Company and wanted to purchase the film adaptation rights. He hoped that Yang Xiao would provide QQ or phone number for detailed discussion.

Film adaptation rights...

finally come!

This is what Yang Xiao has been waiting for!

After sending the QQ number, Yang Xiao logged in on the computer.

Yang Xiao had already prepared to communicate via mobile phone during class tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, just over ten minutes later, he received a friend verification request.

Then, after some negotiations, Yang Xiao sold the exclusive film rights for 18 yuan.

If he remembered correctly, the film adaptation rights in his previous life were sold for around 15!
It is also Huayi Company.

There have been similar private messages before, but the bids were all low.

After much scrimping, I only managed to save about 100,000 yuan.

Yang Xiao talked to them for a while, but they couldn't reach an agreement.

This time, after Yang Xiao’s management, the popularity and popularity of this post increased a lot.

So much so that he sold it for an extra 30,000 yuan.

At last.

Yang Xiao even told the other party that if there was an intention to start shooting a movie in the near future, he could provide planning cooperation such as the movie theme song.

He also didn't know who the person on the other end of the network was who was discussing this matter with him, or what his position was.

Anyway, the other party agreed to the situation raised by Yang Xiao immediately.

Said it would be passed on to the relevant person in charge.
