"Mr. Xiao, I wonder what you are asking me for?" Li Xuan asked when he handed Xiao Sheng tea.

"Uh..." Xiao Sheng did not answer first, but put down the teacup in his hand, turned to look at the piano beside the balcony before slowly saying: "I didn't expect that Mr. Li is so elegant and likes to play the piano."

Li Xuan, who was pouring tea for himself, was stunned. This guy said that he was not kind to him!

"Hehe, it's just a little hobby. I've been studying for a long time and it's still normal. It makes Mr. Xiao laugh." Li Xuan replied as he felt sour in his teeth.

"Haha, Mr. Li has a good hobby, and is better than me, a vulgar person who can't do anything." Xiao Sheng said with a smile: "Actually, this time I took the liberty to come to my house, and there is something to ask Mr. Li..."

Xiao Sheng deliberately said a while and then paused. He picked up the teacup on the coffee table and took a sip, but his eyes were still looking at Li Xuan.

Now Li Xuan had to talk, and picked up the tea and took a sip and asked directly: "Oh? What's wrong with Mr. Xiao?"

"To be honest with Mr. Li, I am a TV series producer of Lishi. I'm here to look for it this time..."

"Cough cough!" Li Xuan coughed a little while choked by the hot tea. He hurriedly put down the teacup and asked in surprise: "Lishi?"

"Um!"

Xiaosheng nodded.

Khan! This is an old neighbor. It takes only a quarter of an hour to walk from Li Xuan’s house to Li Shi headquarters. Li Xuan was puzzled. What did the old neighbor come to do at this time?

Seeing that Li Xuan seemed to have reacted, Xiao Sheng continued, "I came to see Mr. Li this time to ask Mr. Li that the TV copyright of "Kunlun" should not have been sold yet, right?"

Now that he finally understood his purpose, Li Xuan nodded and said, "Not yet, do you Lishi want to make it into a TV series?"

"Yes, Mr. Li's novel is very well written, and many readers like it. And..." Xiao Sheng looked at Li Xuan and continued: "And I heard that the novel is about to end?"

"It's almost finished. I've handed over the last draft to Ming Pao." Although I don't know where this guy found out, Li Xuan still told the truth.

The whole book of "Kunlun" has been serialized for seven months and is expected to be completed by the end of this month. Moreover, Sanlian's physical publication is also very good. The first three books sold 150,000 copies, which made Li Xuan earn more than one million. In addition, the dividends from "Curse" made Li Xuan join the ranks of millionaires.

"That's good. The TV series will be broadcast when the novel is finished. You can..."

"Uh, interrupt, Mr. Xiao." Li Xuan raised his right hand slightly and asked directly with the theme: "How much do you guys plan to pay for that TV copyright fee?"

He was stunned when he heard this, but he immediately reacted and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, Lishi will never treat you badly. The price is absolutely safe. As long as you agree, we will..."

The sound of the flute was getting smaller and smaller. Li Xuan, opposite him, had already narrowed his eyes, and seemed a little unkind.

"Mr. Xiao, how much does it cost?" Li Xuan asked coldly.

"Fifteen thousand..."

This time, the sound of the flute answer was straightforward, but unfortunately Li Xuan only felt ten thousand divine beasts roaring by in his heart.

150,000? This is a beggar. You must know that this is a masterpiece of more than one million words. Even Jin Yong and Heroes don’t have many copies of over one million. His TV copyright fee is more than one million Hong Kong dollars.

Unfortunately, because of the high copyright fees of Jin Daxia, except for Jiashi in 1976, which gritted his teeth and filmed a movie "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the other two TV stations have no interest in filming Jin Yong's TV series. However, the filming copyright fees are only one-third of Jin Yong's ancient lunar blossoming all over the ground. The two TV stations have been broadcasting "Chu Liuxiang", "Lu Xiaofeng" and "Little Li Feidao" all day long.

"In one sentence, 250,000." Li Xuan said in a muffled voice. He didn't want to offend people too much. One third of King Jin's ability can't reach it, so let's down one level, one quarter of it is OK.

"That..." Xiao Sheng gestured a V character with his right hand. Li Xuan thought it was a deal, but he heard Xiao Sheng say, "At most, 200,000."

This guy reduced the price to Li Xuan by one level, one fifth.

Li Xuan bit his back teeth, thought for a while and said in a muffled voice: "Two hundred thousand is not impossible, but the copyright of the shooting is only sold to you for three years."

"Three years?" Xiao Sheng lowered his head and thought for a moment before replying: "Yes."

The so-called filming copyright means that as long as the filming copyright is sold to a company, within a certain period of time, only this company can shoot this TV series, and shooting by other companies is considered infringement. Once this period exceeds this period, no matter whether the company has finished filming or not, it will lose the right to shoot.

Just like Tangren Film, a mainland mainland, in later generations, when the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the starring Brother Hu suddenly had a car accident. As a result, the entire crew was delayed, exceeding the shooting time. Tangren's tens of millions of investment almost lost money. Later, after Jin Yong heard about this, he took the initiative to renew the Tangren for one year for free to recover Tangren's losses.

After the money was negotiated, both of them felt much more relaxed. Li Xuan drank tea and asked casually: "I don't know who Mr. Xiao plans to star in this drama?"

"Who starred? I wonder if Mr. Li had watched Lishi's "Huanhua Sword Washing" some time ago. I think that male lead is good."

Li Xuan was surprised when he heard this answer and replied: ""Huanhua Sword Washing"? Zhang Guorong?"

"Ha, it seems that Mr. Li is really honored to watch our show too!" Xiao Sheng said happily: "By the way, I wonder if Mr. Li is interested in participating in the creation of the script?"

"Not interested." Li Xuan shook his head and said casually.

"Forehead……"

Li Xuan looked at Xiao Sheng and timidly said, "I'm really not interested, and I can give you the greatest freedom to adapt."

"Uh?" Xiao Sheng felt that he was a little confused now. Someone didn't mind others changing his novels casually?

Li Xuan looked at the sound of the flute with a strange expression and calmly took a sip of tea. Unless he was full, he would spend so much time changing the novel into a script, and there was not much money. Besides, he had such a little time to accompany Zhong Xiaoniu to go shopping. As for the random adaptation of novels, he also watched a lot of thunder dramas adapted from later generations, and this resistance had long been achieved. Anyway, someone would make random changes one day, so what if he put down the water? Anyway, the little boy didn't feel sorry for his son.

After discussing the signing matter, Xiao Sheng said goodbye and walked out of Li Xuan's house and slowly walked towards Li Shi Building. When passing by the wireless headquarters building, Xiao Sheng sighed in a slight sigh, and he suddenly remembered Wang Tianlin.

Li Xuan has never heard of Xiao Sheng, but the drama he produced and directed is well-known. For example, the 76th version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" of Jiashi and the "Huanhua Sword Washing Record" mentioned in the conversation are all his representative works.

His experiences are very similar to Wang Tianlin, and he is about the same age. He has been in the film industry since he was a child. He both changed careers and joined the TV station in the early 1970s. He often supervised the producer and director in TV series.

What a pity is that he joined the wrong TV station. He joined Jiashi first, but after a few years of being able to film TV series. As a result, he only filmed three TV series. His reputation just started, Jiashi went bankrupt.

Later, he joined Lishi, but unfortunately, the famous "Li's Three Heroes" in the industry have been steadily suppressed him. At the beginning of the year, he finally managed to independently produce "Huanhua Sword Washing" and was just happy. He didn't expect that he started his old career again - as an associate director, he followed McDonald Bear, one of the three heroes.

Compared to Wang Tianlin, who has achieved success now, Xiao Sheng feels uncomfortable. He is half a year older than Wang Tianlin.

Xiao Sheng thought about it and thought that he should shoot more costume martial arts dramas that he was good at and make his fame as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, the copyright fee for Jin Yong's novel is too expensive to afford. Gu Long's novel is either copyrighted on the TV station or has just been filmed. Except for the copyright of Liang Yusheng's novel that was sold to Jiashi a few years ago, they ignored everything else. As for Wen Rui'an, this unlucky guy is always invited by the military to have coffee in Taiwan. It would be better to have less participation.
