Chapter 15: Acquiring the TV series rights to "Flower Buds"
Chapter 15: Acquiring the TV series rights to "Flower Buds"
The lawyer reviewed the documents and then raised a few more points regarding Lu Yuan's demands.
This part of the contract is rather vague, so it needs to be clarified.
That is the film and television copyright, including the right to develop derivative products based on the film and television character designs.
The original author irrevocably authorizes the film and television company to develop merchandise based on the film and television character designs.
This is the biggest guarantee for figurines, statues, toys, and the like.
Otherwise, there might be a situation where, after a show becomes popular, it becomes illegal to sell figurines.
Of course, Jinjiang doesn't have any problem with this, since they don't know how terrifying the TV series "The Journey of Flower" is.
So they revised the contract and printed it out at the coffee shop.
Luckily, this coffee shop has a printer, otherwise I would have had to find another place to print it.
Lu Yuan smiled and extended his hand, "Then it's a pleasure to cooperate."
"Mr. Lu, it's a pleasure doing business with you."
The contract was signed, and the money was transferred to Jinjiang's account. The copyright of "The Journey of Flower" was successfully acquired.
Liu Xi knew they might have other things to do, so she paid and left.
This is a big deal; the cost of a few cups of coffee is nothing to it.
"Young Master Wang, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now," the lawyer asked proactively.
"That's all, thank you for your help today."
"It's my duty." The lawyer smiled and left.
Judging from his appearance, the subsidiary must have something waiting for him, so he left in a hurry.
As for Lu Yuan and the other three, they were all very calm and leisurely drinking coffee.
We've already ordered coffee, it would be a waste not to drink it.
Huang Daoji even drank the lawyer's cup of coffee as well, since the other person hadn't drunk any.
Chen Keyu then asked, "Old Lu, are you in such a hurry to sign the contract? You didn't even let others exchange a few pleasantries."
"Of course they're anxious. I have some news that a big company is preparing to buy the rights to this novel."
"If others ask at the same time as us, the price in Jinjiang will definitely go up."
"We don't have the qualifications to compete with others in this area."
Lu Yuan explained, "As for where the information came from, don't ask. The answer is that it comes from someone in the know."
Wang Xing looked suspicious. "No wonder you're in such a hurry. But are you really that optimistic about adapting this novel into a screenplay?"
Although the novel was alright, he didn't think it was anything particularly amazing!
Among fantasy novels, only "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is reliable; other fantasy novels don't seem to have much to offer.
Lu Yuan looked smug. "Hehe... When it's time to split the money, you guys can just sit back and call me dad."
I will definitely take "The Journey of Flower" seriously, and I expect the TV series and related merchandise to be a huge hit.
That meant real money was deposited into his account, and it also showed the three brothers how powerful he was.
"Tch..." The three of them said in unison, looking at him with great disdain.
The group rested at the coffee shop for a while before returning to school.
Lu Yuan went back to his dormitory to change his clothes; he wasn't used to wearing a formal suit.
I mainly want to go out with my parents, so it's better to change into sportswear.
He took several photos of the contract with his phone, but not of the specific amounts.
Only then did he happily head to the hotel where his parents were staying.
The reason for not filming the amount was that I didn't want them to know that the copyright cost 100 million, so as not to worry them.
So I didn't dare show them the contract, I just showed them a few photos.
At the hotel, Lu Changhe and Lin Li had already made preparations and were waiting for their son to arrive.
Seeing Lu Yuan enter the room, Lu Changhe casually said, "The copyright has been bought."
"I bought it. Here are photos of the contract; I just took a few random pictures."
Lu Yuan took out his phone, flipped to the photos, and handed it to his father.
Lu's father took his phone and looked at it; sure enough, it was about buying the copyright to that novel.
The contract looked very formal, and he glanced at it a few times before stopping.
He handed the phone directly to his wife, and Lu's mother took it and looked at it.
After seeing that the contract was very detailed and confirmed that it was indeed the novel, he handed the phone to Lu Yuan.
"I'll go check out this novel when I get back. They actually charged so much for the rights!"
Lu's mother felt that since her son thought so highly of this novel, he should at least look into it.
"Dad, Mom, shall we set off now?" Lu Yuan asked his parents.
"Okay, let's go. You can be the guide." Mr. Lu nodded.
"Last time we brought you to Yanjing, we weren't familiar with the area and didn't get to explore it properly. This time, since you're more familiar with it, we can have a good time."
Lu's mother was very happy; it was a wonderful thing for the whole family to travel together.
Lu Yuan also took out the routes that he and his roommates had planned, and he and his parents chatted and laughed as they went to various places.
He was very happy at this moment, because before his rebirth he really didn't have much time for his family to travel.
Now that we have this opportunity, of course we should cherish it.
He carried his family's camera on his back and would take pictures of his parents every now and then.
Occasionally, they would ask passersby to take a few photos of their family to preserve cherished memories.
Take lots of photos whenever you have free time; these will become cherished memories in the future.
He was overwhelmed with the happiness of his family reunion, and he walked quite a distance during the day.
When I got back to my dorm that night, I went straight to sleep and didn't want to think about anything else.
For several days in a row, he spent time with his parents, and his smile became even brighter.
He's now a perfectly sunny and cheerful young man, all the conflicted and depressed vibe he had at the beginning is gone.
He completely forgot about Liu Yifei and didn't even think about taking the initiative to contact her.
Because I simply don't have time to think, I'm happy during the day, and too tired at night to fall asleep as soon as my head hits the bed!
Liu Yifei, on the other hand, was a little annoyed, feeling a bit irritated while listening to "Who".
She really likes this song now, and it's becoming increasingly popular, no longer limited to the new song charts.
But Lu Yuan hasn't sent any news in the past few days.
I did him such a big favor by promoting his song, and now the song is becoming more and more popular.
This guy doesn't listen to me at all! He doesn't even bother to report on his work progress.
Even just one more word of thanks would be appreciated!
But there's no news at all, which makes him a little grumpy when he hears Lu Yuan singing.
He kept waving his fists, as if Lu Yuan were in the air.
She was beating him mercilessly, as if that was how she vented her anger.
Of course, if Lu Yuan doesn't contact her, she won't take the initiative to contact him either.
So the two haven't been in contact for the past few days, and their WeChat conversations are still stuck on the voice messages from that night.
If Lu Yuan knew that Liu Yifei was waiting for news from him, even if it was only about the song.
But I will definitely contact her, because only by contacting her can we get closer.
They need to get closer to become a couple.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that, so Liu Yifei had already given him a little scolding.
