Chapter 280 Wen Leyu: Give it to me, give it all
Teacher Ke can joke with Wen Leyu, but when she talks to Li Ye, she is much more serious.
Li Ye: "Wu Jinyuan definitely didn't come because of me on purpose. She is the deputy general manager of Nanyang Wu's Cultural Communication Group, and she should be interested in the huge film and television market in the mainland.
But She met me in Hong Kong Island, and I guess she already suspected that I was related to the author of "A Song of Ice and Fire"."
Teacher Ke: "Then she just suspected it? Didn't you reveal anything to her? ”
Li Ye: "No, I never said a word to her."
Teacher Ke: "That's okay, as long as you don't admit it, no one can take your things away."
Li Ye said with a smile: "This book is not just mine. It was written by me, Wen Leyu, and Teacher Ke. The three of us wrote it together. In the future, if people say that I am selfish regardless of the overall situation, Teacher Ke, hehe."
"Hey, are you trying to trick me?"
Teacher Ke laughed and then said: "This money is all yours. If you really feel sorry for me, just pay me the royalties according to the national standard of ten yuan per thousand words.”
There is indeed a national standard for translation fees in 1983, which is 7-10 yuan per thousand words. For ordinary people, it is a very good supplementary income, but for Teacher Ke's level, it is almost the same as a Mi Tai person.
Li Ye shook his head seriously and said: "Mr. Ke, what you are doing is wrong. Since you have paid, you should be rewarded. Nowadays, many writers cannot get their share. You should lead by example."
"Hahahaha~, lead by example," Teacher Ke laughed happily for a long time before saying, "Then let Xiao Yu keep it for me first. It’s none of your business.”
Wen Leyu was behind Teacher Ke, winking at Li Ye and making a gesture of “Give me, give me, give me everything”.
She knew that her mother kept her word, and now that Li Ye had quickly agreed, she would have the final say over millions and tens of millions of dollars in the future.
Teacher Ke couldn't see Wen Leyu's appearance, and asked again: "What do you mean when you say that the author of the text cannot get his own profits?"
Li Yedao: "That's right, that Wu Jinyuan has already contacted the school The copyright issue of "Looking Hometown" was discussed, but the main writer and participants of "Looking Hometown" are still at home and have not come to Beijing! There is almost no awareness of copyright protection in the mainland."
Teacher Ke pondered for a moment. , said: "I will pay attention to this problem, but it cannot be solved in a day or two."
Li Ye also knows that this is the truth. Nowadays, there is not such a strong sense of individuality in the mainland. He is a member of the unit. Death is the ghost of the work unit, and there are many things that cannot be explained.
But Wen Leyu followed up and said: "Mom, what if someone else takes a fancy to Li Ye's "The Flying Wind"? That book is also very popular in Nanyang."
Teacher Ke smiled and said to Wen Leyu: "Go to mom's study and get the yellow envelope from the second drawer of the desk."
Wen Leyu stepped on his slippers and went to get it. Come over.
Teacher Ke handed it to Li Ye: "Your donation of five thousand US dollars is noted as the overseas royalties for "The Flying Wind", so don't worry."
. . . . .
The next day, when Li Ye arrived at school, he met Li Huaisheng, Yang Yumin and Sun Xianxian.
They all received telegrams from the school and traveled all night.
Yang Yumin took out a manuscript and handed it to Li Ye: "Li Ye, take a look at the manuscript I wrote during the summer vacation. Then how long do you think it will take for "Looking Homeward" to end? Can Chapter 20 be done? ?”
Li Ye didn’t read the manuscript, but asked: “Why are we rushing to the end? We have always done our work slowly and carefully. You should know that this ending is particularly important and cannot leave any flaws or regrets. "
Yang Yumin nodded and said: "I know that, but the school is pressing hard. Overseas film and television drama companies have taken a liking to our book and want to co-produce it with the mainland. How can we film it without an ending? "
Li Ye thought for a while and said, "How should the cost of this cooperation be allocated to the school, the literary club, or to individuals?"
Li Huaisheng and Yang Yumin were stunned for a moment, then looked around, and then whispered to Li Ye: "Don't talk nonsense, we can try to get some subsidies, but don't say anything about it being personal, you Now he is an activist!”
“That’s okay!”
Yang Yumin is the main writer of “Looking Homeward, Solitary Army”, and Li Huaisheng was the person in charge during the creative period of “Looking Hometown, Solitary Army”. Since the two of them don’t fight for each other, Li Ye It’s up to anyone to provide this idea.
At 9:30 in the morning, the school teacher notified several people from Gujun Literary Club to go over for a meeting.
Li Ye and others arrived at the venue. Many people had already arrived, and many more people arrived one after another. Li Ye even saw a few familiar actors.
Li Ye whispered: "Is today a big scene?"
Yang Yumin nodded: "The scene is not small. Let Lao Li speak later and we will just watch."
Ten At o'clock, Li Ye saw Wu Jinyuan.
She was sitting on top of the rostrum at the venue, next to seat C. She obviously received the attention of several departments in the mainland.
“Everyone is here, let’s hold a simple preparatory meeting today. In order to meet the needs of the broad audience for film and television cultural programs, we decided to cooperate with Nanyang Wu’s Cultural Communication Group to launch "Looking Homeward Lonely Army" " and the shooting plan of "Flying in the Wind",
This cooperative shooting is very important and has profound significance. It can also bring much-needed foreign exchange and funds for our construction. I hope everyone will carry forward the spirit of leaving a small home for everyone and go all out in the coming days for the common good. Dedicate your strength to the goal”
“Pa bang bang bang~”
On the podium The level of the person is not low, and he quickly aroused the emotions of everyone in the audience and won a lot of applause.
Li Ye looked at Li Huaisheng and Yang Yumin beside him and felt that they were also worthy of joining.
But Li Ye’s feelings are hard to describe.
Li Ye does not mean to despise "dedication", because in the past period of time, it was precisely because of the "dedication" of a generation that flower farming has come to this day.
At that time, flower growers did not have enough machinery, and it was difficult to achieve large-scale industrial construction.
So the only phenomenon of nationwide mobilization in the world appeared. Hundreds of millions of people, using their small hands, The replacement of machinery by manpower ensured the construction of basic industries.
Later, some experts studied that if it were not for the dedication of that generation, the industrialization of flower growers would definitely have died, and the complete industry chain industry in later generations would have no chance of development.
But at some point, the word "dedication" becomes a little inappropriate.
For example, Wu Jinyuan on the stage is a businesswoman, and part of the dedication of Li Ye and others will flow into her pocket.
This is just like the business bosses of later generations who like to talk about "corporate dedication". There is another way of saying "dedication to the country". If you dedicate it to you, you can drive a luxury car, live in a mansion, and marry a beautiful wife. That's it. A piece of wool?
The special girl also said, "The company has trained you, you have to be grateful." I don't work at work and only get a salary. Are you willing to train me?
It’s all an exchange of interests, who is the PUA?
“Everyone should understand the situation. Now if you have any opinions, please put them forward as soon as possible, so as not to hinder the progress of this important cooperation.”
"We have no problem. We promise to play every role well." "We have no problem either. The props and costumes have been designed and must be consistent with the historical situation and actual beauty."
Li Ye : "."
It's only been a few days, have you started selecting actors? Is this what is called "international speed"?
"What about Gujun Literary Society? Can you ensure that the novel is completed as soon as possible?"
Li Huaisheng was about to stand up, but Li Ye held his shoulder down.
Li Ye raised his hand first, and then said: "I'm sorry, I want to report a problem. The copyright of "Flying in the Wind" is not in our hands, so if we want to cooperate in filming, we must seek the consent of the copyright owner. "
"You don't have to worry about that," Wang Jiyuan on the stage said with a smile: "You are Li Ye! We have already contacted Blue Ocean Publishing House, and they said that they only purchased your text copyright and comics at that time. There is no conflict with copyright, film and television copyright,
Of course, we will fight for a suitable copyright fee for you personally, and absolutely guarantee your personal interests,
I am really knowledgeable when it comes to this. Classmate, it’s unheard of for me to sell the copyright of a novel three times!”
The fifty or sixty people in the conference room all looked at Li Ye, many of them with envious and passionate eyes.
Good guy, this student is so young that he has a daughter married to three masters.
The text copyright is sold once, the comic copyright is sold once, and the film and television copyright is sold again this time. You are going to sell it!
Li Ye breathed out and said: "I have sold the film and television rights of "Flying in the New Wind" to Talang Literature Publishing House in Hong Kong Island, so I have no right to decide whether this novel will participate in this cooperation. "
Wang Jiyuan said in surprise: "You sold the film and television rights to Hong Kong Island?"
Li Ye said: "Yes."
Wang Jiyuan said displeased: "How can you just sell the copyright overseas? You only care about personal interests and damage."
" Ahem~"
Li Ye coughed and took out the envelope that Teacher Ke gave him.
He did not want to discuss the inviolability of personal property with Wang Jiyuan on this occasion, and was too lazy to grind his teeth.
"This is why I sold the copyright to Hong Kong Island."
Li Ye handed the envelope to Director Xiao of the school.
Director Xiao glanced at Li Ye first, and then opened the envelope.
Then, he said in surprise: "Classmate Li Ye, you actually donated five thousand US dollars?"
Li Ye said shyly: "Yes, I heard that there was a rush In need of foreign exchange, I hurriedly sold the copyright. Although it was cheaper, it also solved an urgent need, right? ”
Li Ye's $5,000 at that time indeed solved an urgent problem in the education system. Otherwise, Teacher Ke would not have reached out to take the money from his future son-in-law, so what Li Ye said was true.
Director Xiao couldn't help but smile: "Five thousand dollars is too cheap for you to sell. Good guy, how much more do you want to sell for?"
Li Ye turned around and looked. Wu Jinyuan said with a smile: "Ms. Wu is an industry insider. She knows best how much it should be sold for!"
At this time, everyone looked at Wu Jinyuan.
Wu Jinyuan smiled and nodded slowly: "It is indeed cheap, a lot cheaper."
Director Xiao returned the donation certificate to Li Ye and sat back with a smile.
【The terms of cooperation have to be renegotiated. Do you want to fool me? No way. 】
. . . . . .
After coming out of the conference room, Li Ye was stopped by Wu Jinyuan.
"Mr. Li, can we chat for five minutes?"
"Of course, it only takes ten minutes!"
Li Ye agreed freely and walked aside with Wu Jinyuan.
He thought he had ruined Wu Jinyuan's good deeds and made her spend more money.
But Wu Jinyuan said: "Mr. Li, let me explain to you first. I was originally only planning to co-produce the film "The Lonely Soldier",
but the TV station thought that the two films The backgrounds of the novels are highly similar, so if we shoot together, props, costumes, venues, etc. can all be saved. Of course, I also need to pay more foreign exchange.”
Li Ye looked into Wu Jinyuan's eyes, trying to tell whether she was telling the truth or lying.
Wu Jinyuan's smoke flowed, and she suddenly smiled and said: "Don't doubt me, because you know what the work I really want is, so I dare not lie to you."
"Shuo Feng" The value of "Flying" is not on the same level as "A Song of Ice and Fire", so what Wu Jinyuan said makes sense.
However, Li Ye and Wu Jinyuan looked at each other for a few seconds, then smiled warmly: "Sorry, I don't know what you are talking about."
"Really? Haha~"
"Haha~"
"Do you have time to have a meal together?"
"Sorry, my girlfriend is waiting for me to come home for dinner."
