That year the flowers bloomed 1981
Chapter 280 Wen Leyu: Give it to me, give it all to me
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. She must have taken a fancy to the huge film and television market in the mainland.
But she had seen 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 is just suspicious? What didn't you reveal 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 smiled and said: 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, you... hey-hey.
Hao, are you trying to drag me into the water?
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 of the profits. You should set an example. right.
Hahahahaha~, lead by example, Teacher Ke laughed heartily for a long time before saying, Then let Xiao Yu keep it for me first! I will not interfere with your affairs.
Wen Leyu was behind Teacher Ke, winking at Li Ye and making a gesture of Give me, give me, give me all.
She knew that her mother kept her word, and now that Li Ye had quickly agreed, she would have the final say on the 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: It's like this. That Wu Jinyuan has discussed the copyright issue of Looking Hometown with the school, but the main writer and participants of Looking Hometown are still at home and have not come to the capital! We in the mainland have almost no awareness of copyright protection. No.
Teacher Ke pondered for a moment and 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. There is not such a strong sense of individuality in the mainland now. You are born as a member of the unit and die as the ghost of the unit. There are many things that cannot be explained clearly.
However, Wen Leyu followed up and said, Mom, what if someone else falls in love with 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 them.
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 The Lonely Soldier to end? Can it be Chapter 20?
Li Ye didn't read the manuscript, but asked, Why do we have to rush to the end? We have always done our work slowly and carefully. You should know that this ending is particularly important, and you can't 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 cooperate with the mainland to film it. How can we film it without an ending?
Li Ye thought for a while and said, Then how should the cost of this cooperation be allocated? Should it go 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 you must not say anything about it being personal. You Now he’s an activist!”
That's okay!
Yang Yumin is the main writer of Looking Hometown, and Li Huaisheng is the person in charge during the creation period of Looking Hometown. Since the two of them don't fight for it, Li Ye is the one who provides the ideas.
At 9:30 in the morning, the school teacher notified several people from Gujun Literary Club to come over for a meeting.
When 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 event?
Yang Yumin nodded: The scene is not small. Let Lao Li speak later and we will just watch.
At ten o'clock, Li Ye saw Wu Jinyuan.
She sat on top of the rostrum at the venue, next to the C seat, and 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 audience's demand for film and television cultural programs, we have decided to cooperate with Nanyang Wu's Cultural Communication Group to launch Looking Homeward and Flying in the New Wind shooting plan,
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 yourself to the goal”
Pah pah pah pah~
The people on the podium were of high standard. They 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 honored to be able to participate in this international cooperation.
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, so it was difficult to achieve large-scale industrial construction.
As a result, the world's only nationwide mobilization phenomenon emerged. Hundreds of millions of people replaced machinery with small manpower to ensure 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 of later generations would have no chance of development.
But at some point, the word dedication becomes a bit out of place.
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. Giving you money to drive a luxury car, live in a mansion, and marry a beautiful wife is just a piece of cake?
The special girl also said, The company has trained you, you have to be grateful. I don't work at work, I only get paid, 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 objections. We promise to play every role well.
We have no problem. The props and costumes have already been designed, and they must be in line with the historical situation and practical beauty.
Li Ye: .
It's only been a few days, have you started selecting actors? Is this what is called international speed?
Where is Gujun Literary Club? 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 permission of the copyright owner.
You don't have to worry about this, Wang Jiyuan on the stage said with a smile: You are Li Ye! We have already contacted Blue Ocean Publishing House. They said that they only purchased your text copyright and comic copyright at that time, and there was no conflict with the film and television copyright.
Of course, we will fight for an appropriate copyright fee for you and absolutely guarantee your personal interests.
Speaking of which, I have learned a lot about my little classmate. It is 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 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: Have 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 your personal interests and it's damaging.
Ahem~
Li Ye coughed and took out the envelope that Teacher Ke gave him.
He didn't want to discuss the inviolability of personal property with Wang Jiyuan on this occasion, and was too lazy to grind his teeth.
That's why I sold the rights 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 I was in urgent need of foreign exchange, so I hurriedly sold the copyright. Although it was cheaper, it also solved the 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 laugh: You think five thousand dollars is too cheap, good guy, how much more do you want to sell for?
Li Ye turned to look at Wu Jinyuan and said with a smile: Ms. Wu is an industry insider. She knows best how much it should be sold for!
At this moment, 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 need 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 only planning to co-produce the film The Lonely Soldier.
But the TV station believes that the backgrounds of the two novels are highly similar, so if they are shot together, props, costumes, venues, etc. can be saved. Of course, I will 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 don't dare to lie to you.
The value of The Flying Wind 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 dinner together?
Sorry, my girlfriend is waiting for me to come home for dinner.
.
She's beautiful!
