The author of the novel, Yu Yue, was very satisfied.

No objections to the novel website either.

At this time, less than two years had passed since the rapid development of film and television dramas. Apart from some big names selling film and television copyrights, there were very few ordinary authors selling copyrights.

Yuyue is a senior student who writes online articles because of her hobby and interest.

The inspiration for this novel came from her experiences and inspiration during her internship last summer.

Yuyue was originally thinking about what kind of job she should look for since she will graduate soon and start working, and whether she should continue writing the novel. If she continues, will she have no time to write and affect her updates?

If she didn't work full-time, her novels wouldn't be able to support her.

Because she wrote while attending school, she was not very diligent during her four years in college and only wrote four or five books.

The longest one has more than 400,000 words, and the shortest has only more than 100,000 words.

Of the two books that have sold copyrights, one is inspired by the workplace. This one contains a lot of her resentment and complaints when she first entered the workplace, as well as the mistakes that newcomers and rookies would make. She and the male protagonist are also bickering lovers in the beginning, and there are many funny plots, so this is the book with the best data so far.

Even the best one, with more than 400,000 words, had a total revenue of just over ten thousand.

In addition to the book that was the most in her collection, the other party also asked for a romantic novel from a long time ago, which was about a secret crush on a high school campus, misunderstandings, and a two-way journey to college.

The income from that book was less than a thousand dollars in royalties for the entire book.

I don’t know what the statistics will be for the next book yet. If I write full-time, I won’t starve to death. But if the royalties are spread out evenly every month, it will be too little in Kyoto.

In addition, working full-time means giving up her status as a fresh graduate, so after finishing this book, she has already planned to find a job or internship next semester and does not plan to continue starting a new one.

I didn't expect that the film and television rights would be sold.

It was like winning the lottery.

According to the contract, the copyright was split 50-50 between her and Lujiang, but Lujiang actually only took 20%. She could earn more than 400,000 for the two books!

She is just a poor student, and more than 400,000 yuan is a huge sum of money. The editor asked her to reconsider and discuss the price. She was very satisfied with the price and decided not to discuss it. What if the other party doesn't buy it?

So sell it quickly.

She even urged the editor for this.

The other company progressed very quickly from inquiry to contract confirmation.

The contract was signed, and before Yu Yue could get over her excitement, the other company found her and hoped that she could be the screenwriter of the novel.

! ! ! !

Yuyue: I have no experience. I majored in Chinese in college and minored in screenwriting. I haven’t graduated yet, so I don’t have any experience.

Jiang Xue: The novel is yours. You can best respect the original work by adapting it yourself, checking for omissions and filling in the gaps. Do you want to try?

Jiang Xue: I like this novel very much. It has funny and tearful moments. You don’t want your work to be filmed by others without knowing what it is.

Jiang Xue: If you are willing to give it a try, you can write a few episodes for me first. I will give them to the director and ask him. In the end, even if you don’t need to write a trial, I will still give you a price based on the thousand words for new screenwriters in the industry.

Yu Yue thought about it for a few seconds and immediately agreed.

The other party is willing to pay her to try and make mistakes, so what is she worried about?

In terms of understanding, who can understand his own work?

I asked the teacher for advice at school, and when the royalties arrived, I paid the teacher to introduce a senior sister who had graduated and was working as a screenwriter to help with polishing, correcting errors, and checking the manuscript.

Thinking that her work would be made into a TV series, she wrote it extra seriously.

With the novel as the basis, and adapted by the author himself, the first three episodes of the script came out very quickly.

Jiang Xue got the script and showed it to the company employees, and everyone thought it was good.

Then Jiang Xue expressed her plan to invest in Mu Yunzhou.

"Didn't we apply for a media company ourselves? We also bought the copyrights of several novels in the past two days. Boss, you should plan to do this business for a long time. If you have a script, you can consider shooting it yourself and then hire a director and related staff. Why do you want to invest in his company?" Yang Wengang was puzzled.

"First of all, his talent and skills are beyond doubt. Secondly, he is a mature director. He has two theatrical films. Although they failed, they were shot intact. He knows the entire shooting process and has a team of collaborators that he is familiar with."

"Most importantly, I liked his name."

"Although his previous movies were not popular, he is a big screen director after all. There is a kind of contempt chain in the film and television industry. Those who make movies look down on those who make TV series, and those who make TV series certainly look down on those who make web series. In fact, this can be used as a gimmick, and movie directors can condescend to make low-cost web series. Is it self-degradation or a dimensionality reduction attack? Putting aside the works, the director himself can find many topics for the public to discuss."

"Is he willing?" Yang Wengang asked. You know, those who engage in art are more or less aloof.

"He would definitely not want to be a director, but if you invest in his company and he directs for the company's projects, he might not refuse."

Then Jiang Xue brought her employees to find Mu Yunzhou.

Mu Yunzhou's face was already very bad when he heard about the web drama. "I am a big screen director with my own works. Even if I am temporarily down and out, it is not to this extent. You want me to shoot a web drama?"

"Huang Can, let's go. Don't delay my work." As he said this, he was about to pull his girlfriend away.

"1000 million." Yang Wengang said.

Mu Yunzhou stopped walking and looked at Yang Wengang who was talking.

"The first investment is 10 million."

“The second tranche of funding will be no less than 10 million, depending on the development situation.”

"You should have researched our company before you came. The projects we invested in are developing very well and we are a little bit famous in the industry. To put it bluntly, our company has money."

"After we invest, we will be responsible for all the funds. You don't have to pay a penny. We will give you 10% of the shares. You will be responsible for the company's art director business and the director of the early projects. When the company becomes profitable and has money, more directors will join. You will own 10% of the branch. In addition, you can continue to start shooting your movie after you have money." As soon as Yang Wengang finished speaking, Mu Yunzhou immediately pulled his girlfriend to sit down again.

"In addition to shares, do those who are both art directors and directors get a salary?" Mu Yunzhou asked.

"Of course. According to the market price." Yang Wengang replied.

"I have been reduced to filming web dramas. I will only film a script if I like it."

"Sure, but as an art director, some other projects within the company may need your advice," Yang Wengang replied.

"Okay, do you have any projects that you are currently planning to launch? I want to take a look at the script first." Mu Yunzhou said.

Yang Wengang signaled to the employee who followed him to hand him the script that had been prepared in advance.

This is a light workplace comedy script.

The story is basically about the heroine who starts as a newcomer in the workplace and joins a company. Along the way, she encounters weird leaders, gossipy colleagues, and several clients interspersed with some small side stories. The heroine handles various problems along the way, gains friendship and love, and gets promoted and a pay raise.

After reading the synopsis and the first few episodes, Mu Yunzhou was a little disdainful.

I flipped through the script and found that it only had three episodes.

"Just three episodes?" Mu Yunzhou asked.

"Yes, it's a business that the company launched temporarily, and the screenwriter only had time to write three episodes. This script is adapted from the novel on the Green River website, and the script was also written by the original author. The original text is on the website. If you are interested, you can go to the website to read the following plot." Another employee brought by Yang Wengang, who was in charge of this project and liaison with the author of the novel, immediately explained.

"The other stuff hasn't been filmed yet. If the quality is good, it can be broadcasted simultaneously on TV stations and the Internet. Our company is also in contact with the TV stations."

Mu Yunzhou thought for a moment and said, "Let me think about it. I'll give you a reply in two days."

"Okay, I look forward to your reply. I have work to do, so I'll leave first." After Yang Wengang finished speaking, he prepared to leave with his employees. Jiang Xue did not leave, but stayed and planned to chat with Huang Can for a few more words.
