Chapter 283 This bitch is not a good person!
The activity room was quiet, the foreign guests left, and many people were dumbfounded.
Although Yang Chen and others are not from the English department like Wen Leyu, who can't understand "one million dollars" in English?
"Is this book worth a million dollars?"
Several students from the school debate team held trial copies of "A Song of Ice and Fire" and looked left and right I couldn't put it down after watching it, as if I was holding a green dollar knife.
Wen Le Yufeng Danyun looked at everyone lightly, and then smiled proudly at Li Ye, with some wonderful little pride in his eyes.
[Look, when a million dollars was placed in front of us, I didn’t even blink. 】
Suddenly, Qin Yongsheng from the Department of Philosophy turned his head: "Li Ye, how much did you sell your copy of "Shuo Feng Fei Yang" for? Five thousand dollars? Then you really lost money! ”
My left hand beats my right hand, how can I lose?
Li Ye smiled and said: "There is no precise price for this kind of literary work. If someone takes the initiative to buy it, it is definitely not the same thing as if you take the initiative to sell it to others,
Whether it pleases current readers is also a question. Even among world famous works, aren’t there many that have been in the dust for many years before they see the light of day again? "
"Yes," Qin Yongsheng nodded, and then said: "Then how much can your "Looking Homeward Lonely" sell for? "
Li Ye smiled and said: "How do I know this? It mainly depends on the demand of the producer! "
Qin Yongsheng thought thoughtfully and whispered: "It seems that we have all underestimated the true value of literary works. Since some of them sell for one million dollars, then your copy of "Looking Homeward", No matter what, it will cost three to four hundred thousand US dollars! "
Li Ye: "."
Yang Chen said: "Isn't three to four hundred thousand dollars too high? That English novel is only one million."
"What's wrong with the English novel? Our four ancient civilizations have to report this to Director Xiao. We must not sell at a loss and lose our property."
"."
Li Ye was a little agitated when he saw a few enthusiastic classmates eagerly going to the school teacher to report the important situation. I can't laugh or cry.
If Wu Jinyuan were still here, they would probably be pissed to death.
She also sent video tapes and TV sets to the debate team, and helped explain debate skills, but in the end, she was asked to spend more money.
"Looking Homeward" does have film and television value, but if you ask Wu Jinyuan to spend 300,000 US dollars to buy a film and television rights, Li Ye believes that this cooperation may have twists and turns.
Sure enough, in the afternoon of the next day, Li Huaisheng and Yang Yumin came to Li Ye with heavy expressions on their faces.
"Li Ye, today we were discussing copyright with foreign guests from Li Jiapo. There was a big psychological gap between the two parties. The school made an offer of US$300,000, and Ms. Wu left on the spot."
"What next?" Li Ye said calmly: "This matter does not involve a unit in our school. If the project fails, other units will not be willing to do it!"
"It's troublesome because the other units are unwilling," Yang Yumin said: "The TV station and other units are very angry and feel that we have ruined this film and television cooperation.
The key is that many costumes and props have already started to be prototyped , design, production, several major units have also held mobilization meetings, and now they are suddenly out of business, and the impact is not small.”
“If you ask for a sky-high price, you can pay it back on the spot. If 300,000 yuan doesn’t work, just keep talking! "Li Ye He smiled and said: "Besides, why are you anxious? Even if you are guilty, the responsibility will not fall on you, right?"
"It will fall on us." Li Huaisheng said with a bitter smile: "The essence of this matter is It is the copyright of "Looking Homeward", so in the future our Gujun Literary Society will be responsible for connecting with the TV station and Wu Culture Communication Group."
Li Ye was stunned, and then said happily: "Do you have the authority?"< br>
Yang Yumin said: "Yes."
Li Ye asked again: "What about the benefits? You can't work in vain!"
Li Huaisheng held out three fingers: "Thirty percent, we Withhold 30% and distribute it freely."
"This is feasible," Li Ye said immediately: "But the specific amount of individual distribution must be determined. The school should issue a detailed charter to avoid being criticized in the future. "
"What kind of detailed charter is this? Aren't we the ones who have the final say?" Li Huaisheng said, "It's just like the research funds in our school. After a thousand are awarded, it is common practice for researchers to score hairtail fish, pork legs, etc.”
“That’s not possible,” Li Ye insisted: “I think five to eighty thousand US dollars is reasonable. Thirty percent is ten to twenty thousand US dollars. There are many people who participated in the creation of "Looking Homeward". Nearly ten people, right?"
"Split it equally,"
Li Huaisheng looked at it. Li Ye said: "In the past, the difference between thirty yuan and ten yuan was not big, but this time, we can't hurt the feelings between classmates."
Yang Yumin also said to Li Ye very formally: "I With Lao Yang’s opinion, no matter how much money is spent, we will share it equally this time. Now we need to ask for your opinion.”
"Then let's split it equally! I have no objection."
Li Ye is now worth tens of millions, so of course he won't care about Qianer's eight hundred.
And Yang Yumin and Li Huaisheng's move is estimated to It is to screw everyone together, otherwise there will be disunity, and we might not be able to get the money by then!
But Li Huaisheng looked at Li Ye, hesitated and said: "Then what if we can't talk to Ms. Wu? Can you contact Hong Kong Island Rider?"
Li Ye finally understood something and asked: "What do you mean, you want to sell the film and television rights of "Looking Homeward" to Talang?"
Yang Yumin and Li Huaisheng nodded in unison.
It must be said that both of them have strong decision-making skills and know that they cannot put their hope in one person.
"You guys talk first. If it doesn't work, I'll ask Hong Kong Island for you."
Li Ye readily agreed. He felt that "Looking Homeward" is now in Nanyang. When sales in the Chinese speaking circle increase steadily, Wu Jinyuan has mature distribution channels in Nanyang, so she should not give up this opportunity.
But things went beyond Li Ye's expectations. Li Huaisheng and Yang Yumin didn't see Wu Jinyuan for several days. Later, they finally met, but they said they were considering giving up "Looking Homeward" and following the story with Nanfang. A film studio collaborates to make a martial arts film.
Yang Yumin said depressedly: "Now there are many people asking us to transfer the copyright for free, so as not to ruin this hard-won international cooperation. Some people say that they don't need to worry about us and just shoot. Anyway, we don't dare to sue them. "
Li Huaisheng also said worriedly: "Now even if we want to sell the copyright to Hong Kong Island, we will be criticized, but the foreign guests from Li Jiapo will not bid at all. I just sent a telegram to the classmates from the literary club. Everyone called me to write the ending, but this happened."
Li Ye was shocked, and he encountered moral kidnapping again. That girl Wu Jinyuan looked gentle and elegant, but she didn't expect that she was not a good person!
"Hasn't she said she won't shoot yet? Let's talk about it then!" Li Ye sneered lightly: "Have you been so good to her these past few days that she forgot whose territory this is? ?”
Li Huaisheng and Yang Yumin didn’t understand what Li Ye meant after thinking for a long time, but they had no choice but to continue to mediate with Wu Jinyuan, but they never got a positive answer.
Moreover, a series of subsequent explosive news came, which made everyone in Gujun Literary Club feel even more stressed.
"You know Li Ye, our live video of the national debate competition this time will be broadcast on Lijiapo TV Station, we are going to the world!"
"And there is more, I listen He said that Ms. Wu is actively communicating with several universities in Lijiapo and trying to start an exchange program with us. In the future, we can study abroad in Lijiapo."
"By the way, Li Ye, your literary club. "Looking Homeward", when will it be filmed? I have a classmate in the film school, can he participate in an extra performance?"
"."
As the days passed, Wu Jinyuan occasionally came to Peking University to communicate and discuss with the school's debate team, and she and Li Ye even "talked and laughed" happily several times, as if nothing unpleasant happened between the two.
But after school started in September, Li Huaisheng and Yang Yumin suddenly stopped rushing to discuss with Wu Jinyuan, and seemed to have given up on the film and television version of "Looking Homeward".
Wu Jinyuan was a little confused as to why.
He also thought that Li Ye had a good relationship with Hong Kong Talang Literary Society, but Talang is a magazine and has no ability to film and television.
For a historical costume battle theme like "Looking Homeward", the amount of money invested is not a small amount. How can a literary publishing house that makes money by selling magazines afford it?
But what Wu Jinyuan didn't know was that an east wind was coming, and Pei Wencong of Hong Kong Island was already standing on the edge of the wind.
