Chapter 428

A week passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of Cameron's visit.

Cameron is over fifty years old; although his hair is gray, he still looks energetic.

This is his third time visiting China in person, and he is accompanied by a Chinese assistant.

"Mr. Ye, I am very excited to see you; I love your *Three-Body* too much."

As soon as they met, Cameron fully exerted the enthusiasm of a foreigner and immediately gave Ye Xuan a big hug.

Fortunately, Ye Xuan was one step faster and changed it to a handshake.

Cameron didn't care about the details in this regard; after a simple greeting, he soon got straight to the point.

"Mr. Ye, I want to buy the film and television copyright of your *Three-Body*.

I dare to guarantee you that there is only one director in the world who can film *Three-Body* well, and that is me."

Cameron was not talking big.

Not to mention his experience in directing multiple sci-fi blockbusters, just his identity as a producer, director, and supervisor guarantees that he has absolute dominance in the crew, which can greatly ensure that the work is not magically adapted.

In addition, sci-fi films have extremely high requirements for special effects, and he happens to have one of the world's top special effects production companies in his hands.

Having gathered the above factors, Cameron naturally has considerable confidence in his ability to film *Three-Body* well.

The only thing he is not sure about is naturally the copyright issue this time.

Seeing Ye Xuan say nothing, Cameron's face tightened, and at this moment, he threw out the final bombshell.

"Mr. Ye, I am willing to pay 100 million to buy the copyright of this *Three-Body*."

As soon as the voice came out, even the assistant who was prepared was shocked by this number.

100 million in film and television copyright!

This is definitely the first time in Chinese film history!

Will Mr. Ye agree?!

Who would have trouble with 100 million?!

Under the assistant's guess, looking back, he saw that Ye Xuan's face did not show excitement, and his expression was still extremely calm.

This is...

Agree or not agree?

At this moment, Ye Xuan, who was thought to have a calm expression, was actually not that calm in his heart.

A full 100 million in copyright fees.

Truly worthy of being the director who can spend the most money in history.

When the God of Movies makes a move, he is truly rich and imposing.

And just as Ye Xuan hesitated in his heart, the system's voice in his mind appeared again.

【Congratulations to the host for triggering a new choice; please choose the option you want from the following choices.】

Unexpectedly, the choice system appeared again at this time.

Ye Xuan's mind followed the system, and he heard the mechanical sound appear one after another.

【System: Option one, agree to Director Cameron's request, reward the script *Titanic*】

【System: Option two, refuse Director Cameron's request, reward the work *Sherlock Holmes*】

When his gaze fell on the first option, Ye Xuan was slightly stunned.

Option one is actually Director Cameron's most famous work in future generations, *Titanic*?!

It's just that it hasn't appeared in this world yet.

Shaking his head slightly, when his gaze fell on the second choice, Ye Xuan's eyes lit up slightly.

It's actually the detective novel *Sherlock Holmes*?

This is the peak of detective novels!

After comparing, Ye Xuan already had his own considerations in his mind, and he chose the path of literature without hesitation.

"I choose the second one."

As soon as the voice fell, the system's voice followed.

【Congratulations to the host for successfully choosing the second option, obtaining the work *Sherlock Holmes*】

As the sound fell, the complete collection of *Sherlock Holmes* suddenly appeared in Ye Xuan's mind.

Before he could digest it, his eyes had already looked at Director Cameron, who was still full of confidence on the side.

Spreading his hands, Ye Xuan's tone carried a bit of regret.

"Director Cameron, I'm afraid I can't agree to your request."

Upon hearing this, the smile of Director Cameron, who had been holding the winning ticket just now, suddenly stopped.

Was he refused?!

In astonishment, he heard Ye Xuan's slow voice.

"Chinese works should still be filmed by us Chinese ourselves.

As long as we are getting better, what does it matter if it's a little slower?"

Seeing that Ye Xuan's refusal was extremely firm, Cameron finally had to leave with a look of disappointment.

And his whereabouts at the airport were also photographed by many reporters.

After all, as the number one director in the sci-fi film industry, Cameron's visit to China had long been heard by countless reporters.

Following Cameron's personal visit to Qiong Village, many reporters had long guessed that he was looking for Ye Xuan.

Noticing that Cameron finally left with regret, a group of entertainment media gave birth to various guesses.

【Director Cameron, visiting China in person is actually for Ye Xuan?!】

【Sci-fi number one director Cameron approached Ye Xuan, for what matter?!】

【Director Cameron and Ye Xuan suspected of not reaching an agreement?】

Just as a group of entertainment media were guessing about Director Cameron's whereabouts, Director Cameron, who had registered on Weibo a few years ago to promote his films, took the initiative to speak out.

【James Cameron: Thank you all for your attention. I look forward to China successfully bringing *Three-Body* to the big screen...】

And below this text, Cameron attached a small video.

In the video, he didn't feel that being refused was a difficult thing to talk about, and generously mentioned that he was willing to pay 100 million in copyright fees to buy *Three-Body*, but was refused by Ye Xuan.

His words were full of appreciation and praise for Ye Xuan, as well as expectations for the future of Chinese film.

And as soon as this series of content was published, countless Chinese netizens were dumbfounded.

"Holy crap! Ye Xuan earned a small goal with one book, pfft, he didn't even look at this small goal..."

"There was so much wealth placed in front of him, but he was indifferent..."

"If I hesitated for a second, it would be a disrespect to 100 million; Ye Gouzi actually refused directly???"

"Who can refuse 100 million? Ye Gouzi can!"

……

A group of netizens were shocked by Ye Xuan's operation.

This is an invitation from a top Hollywood director!

Not to mention, this is a solid 100 million!

Just like that, it was magnificently refused?!

Just as countless netizens were shocked by this news, Lin Qi, the founder of the game company on the other side, saw this news and immediately patted the table excitedly.

You know, as one of the loyal fans of *Three-Body*, Lin Qi was also eager for the copyright of *Three-Body*.

When he first learned that Cameron came to China in person to look for Ye Xuan, he vaguely guessed Cameron's motive.

Obviously, it was for the copyright of *Three-Body*!

Now seeing Cameron being refused, Lin Qi suddenly felt that his opportunity had come.

In excitement, Lin Qi hurriedly shouted to the secretary on the side.

"Book me a ticket to Qianzhou immediately, the earliest flight!"
