Chapter 55 I wish you a smooth album release
After conveying this unlikely condition to the other party, the other party unexpectedly did not refuse immediately, but just haggled back and forth with the copyright department for a long time. After about a week, the other party finally proposed to agree to Chu Zeti's conditions at the original price of 20 million.
Chu Ze naturally agreed to this.
I can only say that Mr. Lu Xun’s window opening theory is indeed useful.
Although at present it seems like a big loss because the money earned from selling the copyright is a little less, but in the long run, as long as the adaptation of Fights Break Sphere can be done well and its reputation spreads, then it will really be like filling a sack with money in the future.
So not long after, the full copyright of "Fights Break Sphere" was sold to Xingyi Film and Television Entertainment Co., Ltd. for a five-year period at a price of 20 million yuan, and the contract also clearly stated the conditions proposed by Chu Ze.
Looking at the contract sent by the editor, Chu Ze signed it before he suddenly realized...
Oh ~ 20 million!
I won!
Although he pretended to be calm when negotiating the terms, the moment he actually signed his name, Chu Ze finally felt the reality of the huge sum of 20 million yuan in his pocket.
Oh, no, not 20 million.
I have to split 10 million, and after the tax is deducted, there will be 8 million left...
Gan!
Suddenly I feel a bit disappointed!
No wonder people in the past wanted to go out and work on their own and start their own companies. It’s really nice to have no middlemen to make a profit from the price difference.
But eight million is eight million.
Combined with his previous savings, Chu Ze has now finally broken through the one million mark and officially entered the ranks of multi-millionaires.
To be honest, can we lie down now?
Ten million in savings, plus a steady stream of income from selling the copyright...
Yup!
I'm already worth tens of millions, why should I write a book?
Brothers, it’s eunuch!
See you again if we are lucky!
reader:?
Forget it, eunuchs have bad character, we can’t do this!
Chu Ze hated those unscrupulous writers who gave up writing halfway through!
Let’s start resisting eunuchs from me!
Okay, I'm done, so can you put down the knife that's on my neck?
I really won’t be a eunuch.
After all, with Doupo's incredible performance, even if Chu Ze really wanted to become a eunuch, Qidian probably wouldn't agree.
But I don’t know when the copyright will be sold and when it will be adapted into a TV series or anime?
Does it mean that we have to wait until the book is completed before starting the adaptation?
But he has only just finished writing the end of the three-year agreement, which can be said to be just the climax of the early part of the whole book, and there are still a lot of plots to be written later...
How long will it take for the book to be completed?
But actually, there is no need to do that. Just like the anime in the island countries, it can be released season by season and divided into small plots.
For example, the plot of the three-year agreement was filmed first, which can be said to be the most essential part of the book.
The copyright had just been sold, and there was no news of any adaptation yet, but Chu Ze had already started planning the adaptation plan.
……
Early November.
There is only a little over a month left until Xia Anruo’s new album is scheduled to be released.
Xinghua has already started warming up for the release of Xia Anruo's new album, and the promotion of the new album is naturally based on the collaboration between Anruo and teacher Cai Qinghong.
However, since it is still in the preheating stage, the publicity is just a suspense, and it does not clearly say which teacher An Ruo will be collaborating with. It only says that the lyricist and composer of this collaboration is an extremely heavyweight figure.
Such a mysterious statement naturally aroused the curiosity of fans and passers-by, and they speculated which big star An Ruo would join forces with this time.
Xia Anruo had just finished participating in a variety show. Actually, she usually didn't like to participate in variety shows, but this was specially arranged by the company for her to promote her new album, so it was difficult for her to refuse.
This is a music competition variety show, and Xia Anruo appeared as a special guest in one episode.
Backstage. Xia Anruo had just changed out of her performance clothes and sat down to rest for a while when she was gently patted on the back.
"An Ruo, that's great! Your singing skills are getting stronger and stronger now. You've even defeated me."
When Xia Anruo looked back, she saw a woman with exquisite makeup standing behind her. She was not very pretty, but no one would fail to recognize her.
Chen Yao, a veteran first-line singer, debuted at the age of seventeen and has been famous for more than ten years. She is still very famous and is considered a senior.
In the variety show just now, Xia Anruo competed with Chen Yao and defeated Chen Yao with a slight advantage in votes.
Although this was not the first time Xia Anruo and Chen Yao met, and they were old acquaintances and old friends, Xia Anruo was still somewhat flattered and stood up quickly.
"Sister Yao, you are making fun of me again. You know I am a guest and the program team is just giving me some face. How can I really be better than you?"
Chen Yao smiled and pointed at her, "You're being modest to me. By the way, you're going to release a new album, have you set a date?"
"The company hasn't finalized the specific date yet, but it should be around the 18th of next month," Xia Anruo replied.
"Okay, when it's released, you must send me a physical signed album as soon as possible. I'm really looking forward to your new songs." Chen Yao put her arm around Xia Anruo's arm and spoke in a casual manner.
"Don't worry, how dare I forget you, Sister Yao?" Xia Anruo said with a smile.
"That's good. I saw that the new album promoted on your official Weibo account has a collaboration with a heavyweight celebrity. Who is it?" Chen Yao asked curiously.
"You can't say that." Xia Anruo blinked.
"Tsk, you're still so stingy with me." Chen Yao didn't act like a senior at all.
"It's the company's request. I can't do anything about it. But it must be a big shot like you, Sister Yao, who will scream out loud when you hear his name." Xia Anruo spread her hands.
"Really? The one who could make me scream couldn't be Teacher Ma Xiao, right?" Chen Yao frowned and thought for a while.
"No."
"Teacher Liu Chunshan?"
“No?”
"Could it be Teacher Yu Qing?"
Chen Yao listed many famous names in the songwriting world, but Xia Anruo just smiled and shook her head.
"Neither. Don't make random guesses. There are so many big names in the songwriting world. Are you going to guess all of them?"
"It's boring. You keep me in suspense."
"You'll know then."
"Okay, I'll go change my clothes first."
Chen Yao said something to Xia Anruo and walked straight into the changing room.
Xia Anruo was just about to sit down and rest when a familiar figure with short hair came in. She was also a big star who was no less famous than Chen Yao, but Xia Anruo didn't really want to see her.
"Xu, Sister Xu Ya..." Xia Anruo hesitated for a moment, but still stood up again and greeted her.
The person who came in was none other than the former number one star of Xinghua, Xu Ya.
Xu Ya nodded calmly, as a response: "Are you going to release a new album?"
"……Um."
"Is the new album a collaboration with Teacher Cai Qinghong?"
"...Yes." Although he was wondering where Xu Ya got the information from, Xia Anruo still nodded.
“Then I wish you a smooth album release.”
Xu Ya smiled, but there was a hint of inexplicable meaning in her smile.
