Chapter 283

The activity room was quiet, the foreign guests were gone, and many people were stupid.

Although Yang Chen and others were not English majors like Watching Wen Leyu, who couldn't understand "one million knives"?

"Is the value of this book... worth one million US dollars?"

Several students from the school debate team held the trial version of *A Song of Ice and Fire*, looking at it left and right, unable to put it down, as if they were holding a million green US dollars.

Watching Wen Leyu looked at the crowd lightly, then smiled triumphantly at Li Ye, her eyes showing some wonderful little pride.

【Look, when one million US dollars is placed in front of us, I don't even blink.】

Suddenly, Qin Yongcheng of the Philosophy Department turned his head: "Li Ye, how much did you say you sold that *Flying Gale* for? 5,000 US dollars? Then you really sold it at a loss!"

I poured from my left hand to my right hand, how could I lose?

Li Ye smiled and said: "The price of this kind of literary work has no standard. When people take the initiative to buy it, and when you take the initiative to sell it to people, it's definitely not the same thing.

Whether it is liked by the current readers is also a problem. Even world classics, aren't there many that have been dusty for many years before seeing the light of day again?"

"Also," Qin Yongcheng nodded and said again: "Then how much can your *Wangxiang Wangxiang Gujun Looking Home* be sold for?"

Li Ye smiled and said: "How would I know? It mainly depends on the degree of demand from the production side, right!"

Qin Yongcheng was thoughtful and whispered: "It seems we all underestimated the real value of literary works. Since there is one that sells for one million US dollars, then your *Wangxiang Wangxiang Gujun Looking Home* must be at least 300,000 or 400,000 US dollars!"

Li Ye: "."

Yang Chen said: "Is 300,000 or 400,000 US dollars too high? That English one is one million."

"What about English? We are one of the four ancient civilizations. We must report this to Director Xiao. This time we must not sell at a loss and damage our property."

"."

Looking at the enthusiastic students who couldn't wait to report the important situation to the school teachers, Li Ye couldn't laugh or cry.

If Wu Jinyuan were still here, she could estimate being pissed off by them.

Giving videotapes and televisions to the debate team, and helping to explain debate techniques, but turning around, she was going to be asked to spend more money.

*Wangxiang Wangxiang Gujun Looking Home* does have film and television value, but if you want Wu Jinyuan to spend 300,000 US dollars to buy a film and television copyright, Li Ye thinks this cooperation might have twists and turns this time.

Sure enough, on the afternoon of the next day, Li Huaisheng and Yang Yumin came to find Li Ye, their faces a bit heavy.

"Li Ye, we talked about the copyright with the foreign guest from Singapore today, but the psychological gap between the two sides is a bit big. The school proposed a quotation of 300,000 US dollars, and that Ms. Wu left on the spot."

"And then?" Li Ye said without urgency: "This matter involves not just one unit of our school. If the project fails, other units won't be willing either, right!"

"It's because other units are unwilling that it's troublesome," Yang Yumin said: "The television station and other units are very angry, thinking that we destroyed this international 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 it has suddenly failed, the impact is not small."

"Ask for a sky-high price and pay back on the ground. If 300,000 doesn't work, then continue to talk!" Li Ye smiled: "And what are you in a hurry for? Even if it fails, the responsibility won't fall on you, right?"

"It fell on us." Li Huaisheng smiled bitterly: "This matter is essentially the copyright of *Wangxiang Wangxiang Gujun Looking Home*, so in the future, our Wangxiang Wangxiang Gujun Literature Society will be responsible for docking with the television station and the Wu's Cultural Communication Group."

Li Ye was stunned, then happily said: "You have the authority?"

Yang Yumin said: "Yes."

Li Ye asked again: "What about the benefits? Can't work for nothing, right!"

Li Huaisheng stretched out three fingers: "Thirty percent, we intercept thirty percent, free to distribute."

"This matter is feasible," Li Ye immediately said: "But how much is distributed to individuals must be detailed by the school, so as to avoid criticism in the future."

"What detailed regulations, isn't it up to us to decide?"

Li Huaisheng said: "Just like those research funds in our school, if 1,000 is approved, how can the researchers get a piece of hairtail or a pig leg? It's all convention."

"That won't work either," Li Ye insisted: "I think 50,000 to 80,000 US dollars is reasonable. Thirty percent is 10,000 or 20,000 US dollars. There are nearly ten people involved in the creation of *Wangxiang Wangxiang Gujun Looking Home*, right? How to divide this money?"

"Split equally,"

Li Huaisheng looked at Li Ye and said: "It didn't matter much when it was thirty and ten yuan before, but this time, we can't hurt the feelings between classmates."

Yang Yumin also said very formally to Li Ye: "Old Yang and I have the opinion that this time, no matter how much money, we split it equally. Now we need to seek your opinion."

"Then split it equally! I have no opinion."

Li Ye now has a net worth of tens of millions, so of course he doesn't care about a thousand or eight hundred.

And Li Huaisheng and Yang Yumin's move is estimated to be to twist everyone together. Otherwise, if there is more or less, people's hearts won't be together, and they might not even get the money by then!

But Li Huaisheng looked at Li Ye and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Then what if we can't talk to that Ms. Wu? Can you contact Ta Lang in Hong Kong?"

Li Ye finally understood something and asked: "You mean, you want to sell the film and television copyright of *Wangxiang Wangxiang Gujun Looking Home* to Ta Lang?"

Yang Yumin and Li Huaisheng nodded together.

It must be said that both of them have strong decision-making abilities, knowing that they cannot place their hopes on one person anymore.

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

Li Ye agreed refreshingly. He felt that *Wangxiang Wangxiang Gujun Looking Home* was selling better and better in the Chinese radiation circle such as Singapore, and Wu Jinyuan had mature distribution channels in Singapore, so she shouldn't give up this opportunity.

But things exceeded Li Ye's expectations. Li Huaisheng and Yang Yumin didn't see Wu Jinyuan for several consecutive days. Later, they finally met her, but she said she was considering giving up *Wangxiang Wangxiang Gujun Looking Home* and cooperating with a film factory in the south to film a martial arts movie.

Yang Yumin said dejectedly: "Now many people require us to transfer the copyright for free, don't ruin this hard-won international cooperation... There are also people who say we don't need to care about us, just film it directly, anyway we wouldn't dare to sue them."

Li Huaisheng also worriedly said: "Now we want to sell the copyright to Hong Kong, but we will also be accused. But the foreign guest from Singapore doesn't offer a price at all. I just sent a telegram to call the students of the literature society to write the ending, but encountered this."

Li Ye was stunned. He actually encountered moral kidnapping again. That woman Wu Jinyuan looked gentle and elegant, but he didn't expect she wasn't a good person!

"She didn't say she wouldn't film it yet, right? Then talk!" Li Ye smiled coldly and said: "Is it because I was too good to her these days that she forgot whose territory this is?"

Li Huaisheng and Yang Yumin pondered for a long time and didn't understand Li Ye's meaning, but they could only continue to mediate with Wu Jinyuan helplessly, but they never got a positive answer.

And a series of explosive news came later, making the people of the Wangxiang Wangxiang Gujun Literature Society feel even more pressure.

"Do you know Li Ye, the live recording of our National Debate Competition this time will be broadcast on Singapore Television. We are going to the world!"

"Also, also, I heard that Ms. Wu is actively communicating with several universities in Singapore, trying to launch an exchange student program with us, so we can study abroad in Singapore in the future."

"By the way Li Ye, when will your literature society's *Wangxiang Wangxiang Gujun Looking Home* be filmed? Can I participate as an extra, I have a classmate in the Film Academy?"

"."

Days passed by. Wu Jinyuan occasionally came to Beijing University to discuss with the school debate team, and even had a few "pleasant chats" with Li Ye, as if nothing unpleasant had happened between the two.

But after school started in September, Li Huaisheng and Yang Yumin suddenly stopped trying to find Wu Jinyuan to negotiate, as if they had given up on the film and television adaptation of *Wangxiang Wangxiang Gujun Looking Home*.

This made Wu Jinyuan a bit confused as to why.

She also thought about Li Ye having a good relationship with the Ta Lang Literature Society in Hong Kong, but Ta Lang was a magazine house and had no ability to film and television.

For this kind of historical costume war theme like *Wangxiang Wangxiang Gujun Looking Home*, the capital invested was not a small amount. Where could a literature publishing house that relied on selling magazines afford to play?

But what Wu Jinyuan didn't know was that an east wind was coming, and Pei Wencong in Hong Kong was already standing at the vent.
