That year the flowers bloomed 1981

The activity room became 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's debate team were holding trial copies of A Song of Ice and Fire and couldn't put it down as they looked at them from left to right, as if they were holding a green million-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!

How can I lose if my left hand is my right hand?

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 said, 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 was thoughtful and whispered: It seems that we have all underestimated the true value of literary works. Since some of them sell for one million US dollars, then your copy of Looking Hometown will cost three to four hundred thousand dollars no matter what. Dollars!”

Li Ye: .

Yang Chen said: Isn't three to four hundred thousand dollars too high? That English novel is only one million.

What happened to the English novel? Our four ancient civilizations have to report to Director Xiao. We must not sell it at a loss this time and lose our property.

.

Li Ye couldn't laugh or cry as he watched several enthusiastic classmates eagerly go to the school teacher to report important situations.

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 Home 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 300,000 US dollars, and Ms. Wu left on the spot.

Then what? 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 either!

It's just that the other units are unwilling to cause trouble, 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 begun to be sampled, designed, and produced, and several major units have also held mobilization meetings. Now that they have suddenly become obsolete, the impact is not small.

I'll pay you back the asking price. If 300,000 yuan doesn't work, just keep talking! Li Ye said with a smile: Besides, why are you so anxious? Even if you're guilty, the responsibility won't fall on you, right?

It falls on us. Li Huaisheng said with a bitter smile: This matter is essentially the copyright of Wangxiang Gujun, so in the future our Gujun Literary Society will be responsible for connecting with the TV station and Wu's Cultural Communication Group.

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: Do you have permission?

Yang Yumin said: Yes.

Li Ye asked again: What's the benefit? You can't work in vain!

Li Huaisheng held out three fingers: Thirty percent, we will withhold 30% and distribute it freely.

This is doable, Li Ye said immediately, but the specific amount of individual allocation must be made by the school to come up with detailed regulations to avoid criticism from others in the future.

What detailed regulations are there? 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 dollars are approved, the researchers will get strips of hairtail fish, pig legs and so on. It's a common practice.

That's not okay, Li Ye insisted: I think five to eighty thousand US dollars is reasonable. Thirty percent is ten or twenty thousand US dollars. There were nearly ten people involved in the creation of Looking Homeward, right? This How will the money be divided?”

Split equally,

Li Huaisheng looked at Li Ye and said: In the past, there was not much difference between thirty yuan and ten yuan, so forget it, but this time, we can't hurt the feelings between classmates.

Yang Yumin also said formally to Li Ye: Lao Yang and I will share our opinions equally no matter how much money we have this time. Now we need to seek 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 Qian'er's eight hundred.

Moreover, Yang Yumin and Li Huaisheng's move is probably to screw everyone together. Otherwise, if there is a lot of disunity, they may 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 what was going on and asked, What do you mean, are you going to sell the film and television rights to Looking Homeward to Ta Lang?

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 place their hopes on one person.

You guys talk first. If it doesn't work, I'll ask the Hong Kong side for you.

Li Ye readily agreed. He felt that the sales of Looking Homeward are rising steadily in Chinese-speaking circles such as Nanyang. 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 in a row. Later, they finally met, but they said they were considering giving up Looking Homeward and cooperating with a southern film studio to shoot a movie. 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 we 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 call all the classmates from the literary club to write the ending, but the result is This happened.

Li Ye was shocked, 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!

Didn't she say 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 pondered for a long time without understanding what Li Ye meant, 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.

Did you know Li Ye, our live video of the national debate competition will be broadcast on Lijiapo TV Station? We are going to the world!

Also, I heard 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, when will your literary club's Looking Hometown be filmed? I have a classmate in the film school. Can he participate in an extra act?

.

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.

This made Wu Jinyuan a little confused as to why.

He also thought that Li Ye had a good relationship with Hong Kong Talang Literary Society, but Talang was a magazine and had 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.
