Director, please respect yourself.

Chapter 357 354, retreat

Shu Kingdom Romance Restaurant

Yang Hao has been here many times.

In the past, I used to come here with the crew, hold a finale banquet, hold a celebration banquet, or get together with classmates who have graduated from the class, such as Bao Jingjing who sold the copyright of her novel.

But today, it was Yang Hao's first time talking about serious business in this place.

On the left are three people, Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli, and Yang Hao himself; on the right are also three people, Yao Hailin, deputy editor-in-chief of Science Fiction World Magazine, Yao Hailin's assistant Ji Hongxia, and a middle-aged man wearing glasses.

"Director Yang, I, you know me, you also know my assistant Xiao Ji, so next, I have to introduce this to you, Liu Cixin, nicknamed Big Liu..."

But before Yao Hailin finished speaking, Yang Hao stood up from the seat very respectfully, and then stretched out his hand to the middle-aged man wearing glasses.

"Hi Teacher Liu!

I am Yang Hao, I have read all of your science fiction novels, such as "The Wandering Earth", "Country Teacher", "Ball Lightning", and the famous long science fiction novel "Three-Body Problem"...

Therefore, in my eyes, you can be regarded as carrying the science fiction world of our country alone. "

"Oh, really? Don't dare to act, dare not act."

Liu Cixin is a very humble person.

Seeing Yang Hao declaring the name of his work so frequently, he immediately smiled and waved his hands. The meaning is very clear, I am just an ordinary person, and I don't deserve such praise from you.

"Teacher Liu…"

"Ok?"

"I would like to ask about your science fiction novels. At present, how many film and television adaptation rights are in your hands?" After the greetings, Yang Hao sat down and chatted about the business.

"Um…"

Liu Cixin used his hands to push up the glasses.

"Well, let's put it this way, except for the film and television copyright of the novel "Three-Body Problem", after I sold it for 10 yuan last year, the others... are all in my hands now.

After all, Yang Hao, you also know that science fiction is actually very small in our country. Except for some science fiction fans who are more respected, ordinary book fans feel that if they have this time, they might as well read the cool articles on the Internet or read Qiong Yao’s novels. What about romance novels? "

"One hundred thousand..., one hundred thousand is a little less." Yang Hao sighed.

"Ms. Liu, how about this, I will give you 400 million yuan, and you will give me all the film and television adaptation rights of your novel?"

"Really? Yang Hao, don't take your word for it!" Before Liu Cixin could say anything, Yao Hailin spoke up, as if he was going to put Yang Hao in check.

"Of course, we can sign the agreement now. But, Mr. Liu, Mr. Yao, you have to promise me one condition, and help me get back the copyright of the novel "Three-Body Problem"."

"make a deal!"

As soon as Yang Hao finished speaking, Yao Hailin and Liu Cixin stretched out their hands to him in unison.

"Director Yang, to tell you the truth, Zhang Fanfan, who bought the film and television adaptation rights of "Three-Body Problem", has regretted it these days. He originally thought that domestic film and television companies would be interested in this kind of science fiction.

But when he recommended this novel to the film and television company, he realized that he was wrong.

Because the initial investment of making a film of this kind needs to be more than 2 million to 3 million yuan, very few domestic film and television production companies dare to take over. "

Ha ha…

Yang Hao secretly laughed when he heard this.

Now, isn't the buddy just picking up the money?
In the previous life, the little-known Zhang Fanfan and his wife indeed won the film and television copyright of the novel Three-Body Problem at a price of 10 RMB, and they did regret it later, because no domestic film and television company dared to take over.

Once, I even bought it for [-] yuan, but I couldn't get rid of the [-] yuan for takeaway.

However, no one expected that in 2015, "The Three-Body Problem" actually won the Hugo Award, and then, the film and television copyright of this novel was sold for a sky-high price of 1.2 million yuan.

"Director Yang..."

"Director Yang..."

"Ok?"

Yang Hao, who was secretly laughing, realized that he looked a bit like him at this time. The money has not yet arrived, so he must be cautious at this time.

So Yang Hao looked up at Yao Hailin, and said with a smile, "President Yao, tell me!"

"One, the science fiction novel "The Fifth Season" you wrote is very good, and there is already a vague style of everyone, so we, Science Fiction World Magazine, want to represent this novel.

It is for us to recommend this novel to foreign publishers and editors. "

"no problem!"

Yang Hao longed for someone to do it for him, not to mention that it is best to leave professional work to professionals!

"Director Yang, we have something to say first. If the matter is completed, we will charge a part of the agency fee. This part of the agency fee is not too much or too little, about 50 to 100 million yuan."

"no problem!"

Yang Hao smiled and stretched out his hand to Yao Hailin, the two shook hands, the matter was confirmed.

And just as the hands of the two separated, Yao Hailin spoke again, pointing to Liu Cixin beside him, and said with a smile:
"Director Yang, you also talked about it just now, you have read Teacher Liu Cixin's science fiction novel "The Three-Body Problem", and of course you should know that this novel has not yet been published abroad.

So, what I mean is, since your English is so good, you can write in English directly, and it's still a very high level of science fiction.

Director Yang, why don't you translate the "Three-Body Problem" trilogy to you? "

.........

After talking about things, we ate hot pot.

At 09:30 in the evening, the six people dispersed separately.

Liu Xiaoli and Yao Hailin are old friends, they have known each other since they were in America, so after the banquet, they found a place to catch up.

Originally, Liu Yifei wanted to go home with Yang Hao, but in the past few days, this beauty was very excited, she had nothing to do, and she had 300 rounds with Yang Hao at night.

Young man, the taste of the marrow...

Yang Shuo, you are truly amazing, but how can I, An Feng, be afraid of you? !
But the two of them walked downstairs in the Hejingyuan community, and Liu Yifei received a call from her friend and best friend Yao Beina.

Sissy...

Little Qianqian, I'm broken in love, why don't you drive over to accompany me right away?

That bastard Zhang Lei, he actually said that his mother doesn't like me, what the fuck...

Yang Hao originally wanted to go there together, we are all friends, chatting together, it is always good to enlighten her, save Yao Beina's condition just checked out, there is no repeat.

But on the phone, Yao Beina, who has always been good-tempered, actually swears, Yang Hao thinks about it and forgets about it.

Let her scold and cry happily, maybe she can relieve her emotions faster, but if there is a boy present, maybe she can't let go.

Liu Yifei drove away.

Yang Hao was left alone in this house in Hejingyuan Community. Although the weather was a bit cold, Yang Hao decided to take a walk in the community first.

It is not difficult to translate Liu Cixin's novel "The Three-Body Problem" into English. I have the English translation of this novel in my head.

But it takes time to bring it out, at least pretending that the translation was completed after creating a few drafts by myself.

But if they don't answer it, can they still find the famous English translator and science fiction writer Liu Yukun in the previous life?
If you can't find it, you may miss the "Hugo Award", and I am afraid that it will take some time to recover the cost of your investment of 400 million yuan.

Well, why not!
I only translate the first part of the novel "Three-Body Problem"...

Yang Hao, who was strolling downstairs in the garden, was thinking about it, when suddenly, the phone in his pocket vibrated.

"Yang Hao, I, Gao Yuanyuan!
Otherwise, I'd better not accept the TV series "You Who Came from the Star". If I did, I would be under too much pressure. "
