I'm really not a dresser

Chapter 313

When she heard that Ling Yu actually called herself her younger sister, Tong Shiya had mixed feelings in her heart.

However, it's not easy for her to say anything, after all, she is still talking about things now!

At this time, the assistant Luo Wei also made tea, and placed them in front of the three of them one by one.

Xu Banshan didn't continue talking, but took a sip of tea before getting into the topic.

"Miss Ling, you must know my identity. I came here today mainly to discuss the adaptation of the novel with you!"

Xu Banshan opened his mouth to explain.

"Then I don't know Director Xu, how do you want to adapt it?"

Ling Yu asked.

"I'm willing to pay 100 million yuan to buy the film and television adaptation rights of your novel. I wonder what you would like, Ms. Ling?"

Xu Banshan stared closely at Ling Yudao.

When he heard the 100 million film and television copyright fee, Ling Yu was still very surprised in his heart, after all, he had imagined it would be so much from the beginning!
But although he was surprised in his heart, Ling Yu didn't show it on his face.

"Director Xu, you bought the film and television adaptation rights of my novel, mainly to make movies or TV series?"

Ling Yu continued to ask.

"Actually, the main thing I value is the fan base of your novel! With this as a basis, I can adapt it into a youth romance movie with a relatively good ip value!"

Xu Banshan told the truth without any concealment.

"With your reputation as Director Xu, plus the IP value of my novel itself, and a copyright fee of 100 million, I think it seems a bit inappropriate!"

After thinking for a moment, Ling Yu finally expressed his thoughts.

"Then Miss Ling, how much do you think it's appropriate?"

Xu Banshan frowned and asked back.

"At least 200 million!"

Ling Yu said lightly.

Although Xu Banshan is a well-known director, it is impossible for Ling Yu to let himself suffer because of his name!

Besides, the number of fans of his current novel has suddenly reached one million!

The copyright fee of 100 million is indeed a bit low!
After hearing Ling Yu's quotation, Xu Banshan didn't show surprise on his face, but a warm smile on his face.

"Miss Ling! The copyright fee of 200 million is too high! Although your novel Shallow Time does have great IP development value, if it exceeds my budget, then our cooperation may not be able to proceed happily!"

Xu Banshan said helplessly.

"Let's do this! I'll give you 150 million royalties! This is already my limit!"

Xu Banshan continued.

Hearing this, Ling Yu fell into deep thought for a while.

"Director Xu, in fact, I don't value the amount of the copyright fee, but I sincerely hope to cooperate with you! How about it! I can reduce the copyright fee to 100 million, but you must have my share of the follow-up box office? "

After thinking for a while, Ling Yu suddenly suggested.

Hearing Ling Yu's proposal, Xu Banshan couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Miss Ling! It seems that you are very confident in the IP adaptation of your novel?"

Xu Banshan pretended to be surprised.

"No, actually I have confidence in Director Xu's screenwriting ability!"

Ling Yu smiled slightly.

At this moment, Xu Banshan also suddenly laughed.

"Miss Ling, I have to say that you are very business-minded! I can give you 2% of your net profit for the box office share! What do you think?"

Xu Banshan suggested again.

"Director Xu! You must be very clear about my novel. As long as it doesn't disrupt the original plot, it won't be a big hit when it's adapted, but it will definitely make money at the box office! 10% of the net profit share!"

Ling Yu smiled confidently.

"This is impossible! Miss Ling, do you know that the rules of the film and television industry are not as simple as they appear on the surface! Even some big-name screenwriters, it is impossible for them to get such a share!"

Xu Banshan refused straight away.

"Besides, there are a lot of risks involved. At most, I will give you 3% of the net profit share!"

Xu Banshan continued.

Hearing this, Ling Yu secretly laughed in his heart!
He is not afraid of Xu Banshan bargaining, because this shows that at least Xu Banshan values ​​the IP value of his novels more!

There is room for negotiation!
If Xu Banshan really refused straight away, then Ling Yu would have to consider buying out the copyright all at once.

"Director Xu! This is only our first cooperation. If we can succeed, then our chances of cooperation may increase a lot in the future! After all, I'm not just writing such a novel! What do you think?"

Ling Yu smiled confidently and said meaningfully.

How could Xu Banshan not understand Ling Yu's meaning, he couldn't help but began to think deeply.

If it is purely based on the value of the ip adaptation of Qianshishi, Ling Yu's conditions are a bit high, but if Ling Yu's novels are all adapted by him in the future, then the current profit sharing is the foundation of a good relationship!
This is a long-term consideration, Ling Yu believes that Xu Banshan has a long-term vision!
"Let's do this! I don't want 3 percent anymore, and you don't want 10 percent. Let's take a middle number, 5 percent! What do you think, Miss Ling?"

After thinking for a while, Xu Banshan finally put forward his own idea.

Seeing this, Ling Yu knew that this was already Xu Banshan's biggest concession. Although it was still a bit low, it was impossible for him to make money alone, and cooperation can be a win-win situation!
"Okay! Then such a happy decision! I wish our cooperation smooth!"

Ling Yu immediately made a decision.

"Okay! Xu is also very happy to cooperate with Ms. Ling! I wish us a big hit at the box office!"

Xu Banshan immediately smiled slightly.

Immediately, Ling Yu and Xu Banshan shook hands to express their cooperation.

Assistant Luo Wei immediately started to prepare the contract.

At this moment, Tong Shiya finally understood the general idea!
However, compared to the happy atmosphere after Ling Yu and Xu Banshan reached a cooperation, Tong Shiya was shocked at the moment!

For nothing else, she is also a fan of the novel Shallow Time!
Tong Shiya never expected that Ling Yu wrote this popular novel on Weibo!
Fortunately, she used to urge updates every day!

If she had known this earlier, she would have asked Ling Yu to spoil it!

However, Tong Shiya was even more horrified that a well-known director like Ling Yu and Xu Banshan had actually reached a cooperation!
Although her family background is not low, if she meets a well-known director like Xu Banshan, she will not be able to find a way!

But now, Ling Yu has actually done it!
And can talk and laugh happily and talk about cooperation with Xu Banshan!

This may be the goal that many people want to strive for all their lives!

With a novel, Ling Yu has entered half of the entertainment industry initially!
I believe that as long as Qian Shi Shi's novel becomes a hit at the box office, Ling Yu's future development will be limitless!
