Chapter 129 The Domineering President Comes into Reality
In the morning, they had breakfast in the hotel's cafeteria, and then walked to the website headquarters together.
The hotel Xia Xingruo chose is opposite the website headquarters, and the walking distance is no more than a hundred meters.
If they lived far away, the morning rush hour in Beijing alone would be enough for them to drink a cup.
Entering the company, Zhang Mingyang explained his intention, and soon someone came down to receive them.
The person who received them was an acquaintance. It was the website editor who was crying and clamoring for a boyfriend after getting drunk last time in Linjiang.
I don’t know if she has found a boyfriend now.
It was obviously Lezhengxing Entertainment who contacted her, but Xia Xingruo, the author, also came with her.
The lineup she brought again shocked the editor.
In addition to her best friend who had been accompanying her these past few days, her boyfriend also came with her, followed by four people unknown to the editor, three of whom were dressed formally and looked like they might be in contact with her.
The editor is puzzled, how come Xia Xingruo and the people from Lezhengxing Entertainment got together?
Recalling the conflict that broke out between several people during yesterday's exchange, it was hard for the editor not to suspect that Le Zhengxing Entertainment was hired by Xia Xingruo.
The two sides had just clashed in the morning, and people from Lezhengxing Entertainment called in the afternoon. Now several people have appeared together again, and the answer is self-evident.
She originally thought that Lezhengxing Entertainment was some kind of scam company, but after asking around, she learned that although the company was not that well-known nationwide, it was well-known in and around Linjiang.
There are also some works that can be sold.
Xia Xingruo took the initiative to say hello, and several people from Lezhengxing Entertainment also came forward to exchange business cards.
Looking at the business card in his hand, the editor secretly smacked his lips inwardly. Judging from the business card alone, the identities of the people in front of him were very impressive, including even agents and actors.
"Here, some of our colleagues from the copyright department are already waiting upstairs." Although she still had doubts in her heart, she did not show it on the surface.
Along the way, editors who have been in the workplace for many years have been silently observing the small team in front of them.
She could clearly feel that several people from Lezhengxing Entertainment were following Xia Xingruo's boyfriend in a tacit understanding, and occasionally would whisper to him about something.
The last time we were in Linjiang, Xia Xingruo mentioned that her boyfriend's name was Zhang Mingyang.
Although they only met once, he was so similar to the male protagonist described in "The Call from the Summer Solstice". At the celebration banquet, he helped Xia Xingruo stop drinking and drank to the death of the publisher's boss. The editor was deeply impressed by him.
How did he introduce himself last time? It seemed that he was the pretty boy kept by Teacher Bai.
No matter how you look at Zhang Mingyang, he looks like the boss of Lezhengxing Entertainment. Do you call this a pretty boy?
Just as the editor expected, Zhang Mingyang took Xia Xingruo to the main seat as soon as he entered the conference room.
The people from Lezhengxing Entertainment had no objection to this and just sat down one by one around them.
No one in the copyright department of the website has ever seen this battle.
The company they were cooperating with took the second seat, and an unknown young man took the author who wanted to sell the copyright and took the first seat.
If the two parties hadn't just exchanged business cards, they would have even suspected that their colleague had gotten the wrong person.
The people at Lezhengxing Entertainment didn't give them time to think. As soon as they sat down, they got straight to the point: "This is the copyright purchase contract we have drawn up. Please review it."
The staff in the conference room handed over the contract they had prepared.
The people on the website had just gotten the contract, and before they even had time to look through it, the people from Lezhengxing Entertainment continued: "Our company wants to purchase the film and television adaptation rights of the work "The Call from the Summer Solstice" created by the author whose pen name is Bai Xiarujiu.
, Except for the necessary terms, among the obligations that our company shall bear, Article 8, Paragraph 2, page 3, we guarantee that the production will be completed and released within one year, Article 16, Paragraph 1, page 7, Our company hopes to obtain a pseudonym
The right of first refusal for the film and television adaptation rights of subsequent works created by the author of Bai Xia Rujiu..."
The people from Lezhengxing Entertainment took the initiative in the meeting, and the people on the website could only keep reading the contract.
Different from the contracts they usually see, the contract given by Lezhengxing Entertainment has many clauses that are beneficial to the author.
When they turned to the end, they saw that the signature and official seal were not the Lezhengxing Entertainment they were talking to, but a different company.
Qinglian Technology.
This is different from what was promised at the beginning. Several people sitting here have never heard of the company "Qinglian Technology".
The name of the company sounds like it is engaged in computers or software. How could such a company suddenly come out to buy the copyright?
The moment they raised their heads and prepared to ask, someone from Lezhengxing Entertainment continued: "After the copyright is purchased, it belongs to Qinglian Technology. Qinglian Technology fully entrusts Lezhengxing Entertainment as its agent to be responsible for copyright purchase and subsequent TV series shooting and other related matters.
matters, attached is the agency contract and power of attorney."
Before I finished reading the copyright purchase contract, another agency contract came right away.
The people on the website are so worried that they still haven’t had time to say a word. The people from Lezhengxing Entertainment have been doing the talking.
Judging from the momentum alone, Lezhengxing Entertainment has already firmly dominated the website.
After reading the contract, it’s time to quote.
The website originally thought that for a contract with such good conditions, the other party's offer would not be too high, but what they didn't expect was that the other party directly quoted 500,000 yuan, as well as the income and dividends after the subsequent TV series is broadcast.
It’s different to have a generous boss backing you up.
Usually the most troublesome part is the quotation stage, but today was unusual. After Lezhengxing Entertainment proposed it, the other side of the website started whispering.
"Let's have a short meeting to discuss it." The people on the website were a little confused by the combination of punches, and they didn't recover for a while.
They were just about to leave when the young man who had been sitting silently at the main seat finally spoke. He seemed to be talking to someone from Lezhengxing Entertainment, or to the people at the door.
"If they don't sign this contract, I'll wonder if there's a spy in the company." Zhang Mingyang's tone was frivolous, which was incompatible with the atmosphere just now.
“There will be situations where high-quality copyrights are sold at low prices and then high rebates are collected,” someone from Lezhengxing Entertainment replied.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The two people’s voices were so loud that they didn’t care at all that there were people around them with websites.
"I didn't tell you, you should be busy." Seeing that the people on the website stayed where they were, Zhang Mingyang explained, "There is no three hundred taels of silver here."
The people below were only paid to do things. How could they manage so much? So they quickly took the contracts and reported to their superiors.
Yesterday, people from Lezhengxing Entertainment had a rough look at Xia Xingruo's works and suspected this situation.
According to their eyes, "The Summer Solstice Call" does have a lot of areas that need to be refined before it can be adapted to the big screen, but this does not prevent it from being an excellent work and not being so heavily underpriced.
Thinking of this possibility, I took the initiative to hit the people behind me today.
This kind of thing would only weigh two taels if it were not weighed on the scale, but if it were weighed it would weigh a thousand kilograms.
Faced with a contract with such favorable conditions, the people behind it would have to weigh it carefully if they dare not sign it.
Xia Xingruo also gradually became famous through writing, and the copyright was finally sold at a high price.
Although small authors do not have much say in the matter of selling copyrights, they still need to get Xia Xingruo's opinion to some extent.
The people from the website's copyright department went back to have a meeting, and the editor also called Xia Xingruo out alone.
As soon as he walked out of the conference room, the editor immediately asked gossiping: "Teacher Bai, are all these people here today brought by your boyfriend?"
The editor didn't ask Xia Xingruo if she wanted to sign the contract. From the moment she showed up at the company with people from Lezhengxing Entertainment, the answer was self-evident.
What's more, what the other party offered was a contract that no author or website could refuse.
Xia Xingruo didn't expect the editor to ask this question, so she nodded in response: "Yeah."
The editor became even more excited after hearing the affirmative answer.
"So Qinglian Technology is also your boyfriend's company?"
"Yeah." Xia Xingruo continued to nod.
"He plans to buy the copyright of the novel and make a TV series for you himself?"
The editor could not conceal her excitement. She did not expect that she would experience such a story personally.
The story she imagined had already taken shape in her mind. After her overbearing CEO boyfriend learned that his girlfriend was being bullied, he appeared in person to crush everyone.
But it seems to be worse than a novel. He should not buy the copyright, but should directly buy the website, or say: "The wind is blowing, the website should go bankrupt."
Although there are discrepancies, the fact that the plot of the novel is translated into reality still makes the editor very excited.
While Xia Xingruo was chatting about gossip, the atmosphere in the copyright department was completely silent.
Yesterday's call was made directly to the big boss. They had no choice but to bite the bullet and contact Lezhengxing Entertainment.
Who would have thought that they would directly offer a contract that no one could refuse.
"Brother Angkor, I reviewed this script first. You can't just give it away to others."
