A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

"You forgot, your rights to go to the moon were sold to my father's "Sugar Man" film and television company. The movie's box office now exceeds 200 million. Calculating it, it is estimated that the total box office will most likely exceed 400 million, plus this When the movie sells discs, the profits from the peripheral work will be guaranteed to be more than 80 million to 100 million. My father is very happy these days, and frankly I persuaded him to buy your movie. I bought the rights to the movie, and I want to treat you to dinner in person to thank you. "

"Don't forget it. Don't forget it. It makes me feel bad."

When Xia Yan heard this, his heart ached again.

"Pfft." Tang Yin immediately became happy when she saw Xia Yan's expression.

When Go to the Moon was ranked first in the New Gods Ascension Event, there were seven film companies in the Dragon Kingdom competing for the film rights to Go to the Moon. However, Tang Yin, as Xia Yan's original novel editor and having confidence in Xia Yan, encouraged her. Dad participated in the competition.

The original intention is that if she can win the copyright of this work, she will support Xia Yan in selling the movie rights. If she can't win it, her father's "Sugar Man" Pictures can also act as a "sugar man" in the process of copyright sales and bidding. "Shill," the role of price gouger.

In fact, it was precisely because Tang Yin's father's company joined the competition that the rights to the animated film Go to the Moon were about to be sold when several companies bid for 4 million. "Sugar Man" came in to disrupt the situation and finally raised the price to 530. Thousands of dollars, and the sugar man bought it himself.

"Come on, don't feel bad. If you didn't sell the copyright for your animated film adaptation to my father, it would have been sold to other companies. Instead of making money for other people, it's better to make money for my father. I am the only daughter in my family. At that time, all my father's property will be mine, and I will treat you to a big dinner to thank you after I inherit his assets." Tang Yin said with a smile.

"Big dinner? Haha, you are so willing." Xia Yan was also amused by Tang Yin's words.

It is true that even if he had not sold the rights to Sugar Man at the beginning, Xia Yan would have sold the rights to the moon to other companies when he was short of money for development.

How else could he save the funds for the animation production of Puella Magi Madoka Magica?

It can only be said that there are some things that cannot be helped, and Xia Yan can see through them.

"Okay, since my uncle wants to meet me, I can't refuse." Xia Yan looked at the time, and it was already 6:40 pm.

"Okay." Tang Yin felt a stone fall in her heart after seeing Xia Yan's expression.

After all, she was also afraid of what Xia Yan would think about the success of the movie Going to the Moon.

As expected of the man whom Hong Maple Comics valued signing a contract with in the vast sea of ​​people back then, he had a broad mind.

Xia Yan and Tang Yin took the elevator to the underground parking lot, and then Xia Yan got into Tang Yin's two-seater red sports car.

"Speaking of it, Xia Yan," Tang Yin asked while driving.

"Huh? What's wrong?

"I saw your initial D. Well, do you know the inertial drift in the comics? Do you want to teach me some time?"

Tang Yin's question stopped Xia Yan.

"Won't."

Tang Yin thought for a while and said.

"Then you dare to draw something you don't know into comics?"

"What if? When I write a novel about parasitic beasts, my right hand needs to be parasitized to become a golden right hand that can speak and act on its own." Xia Yan complained decisively.

"Haha. That's true."

Hearing this, Tang Yin stepped on the accelerator and a smile appeared on her fair face.

The two of them were joking all the way, with twenty minutes behind them, and the car drove to a certain star-level restaurant in the center of the magic city.

As soon as you get off the bus, restaurant staff come to park the car.

Xia Yan tidied up his appearance a little. After all, he was Tang Yin's father, so he couldn't be too rude for Tang Yin's sake.

After Tang Yin and the waiter at the front desk made several inquiries, someone soon led the two of them around the restaurant to a VIP box.

As soon as he opened the door and entered, Xia Yan saw a middle-aged man with an elegant appearance, in his forties or fifties, but still looking handsome, at the head of the dining table. He stood up and looked at the two of them with a smile.

"Hello, Xia Yan, I am Xiao Yin's father, Tang Yuan, chairman of Sugar Man Film and Television."

"Hello, Uncle Tang." Xia Yan shook hands with the other party.

Tang Yin was not so restrained. She put her bag on her hand, put her long black stocking leg on the other leg, and sat directly on the chair.

"Dad, please serve the food quickly. I'm starving."

"You only know how to eat, but you are rude and greedy for pleasure all day long. That's why you are still single at the age of twenty-seven. Are you embarrassed? When I was your age, you could even walk."

"Haha, because I am so good, my future husband is still working hard to grow up and strive to appear in front of me in the best possible way. Dad, what do you know?" Tang Yin retorted decisively, not afraid of boiling water.

Xia Yan could almost see the resentment condensed into substance in Tang Yin's father's eyes.

Although the two people talked like this, Xia Yan could tell that the relationship between the two was actually very good.

Xia Yan was slightly touched, thinking of his father.

If Xia Yan now, his father's small debt could be easily repaid.

"Alas" Xia Yan sighed.

This sigh also made Tang Yuan aware of his rudeness.

He quickly invited Xia Yan to sit down and poured him a glass of wine.

Tang Yin's father didn't show off.

I started chatting with Xia Yan, from family to life to ideals and philosophy.

After changing four or five topics in half an hour, when Xia Yan finally began to let down his guard against him and the atmosphere was just about to become a brother and a brother, he changed the subject. ♦♦  ♦♦

The purpose of his visit to Xia Yan this time was to express his gratitude to Xia Yan for the great success of the cooperation with his company, but in fact, it was

"I remember, Xiaoyan, you seemed to have made a statement after the completion of To the Moon. There will be a second part of To the Moon, right?" Tang Yuan poured a glass of wine for Xia Yan and asked lightly.

As soon as he said this, Tang Yin, who was feasting alone beside him, blinked, put down her chopsticks and looked at Xia Yan.

Xia Yan also looked at her.

The two immediately understood what Tang Yin's father meant.

To the Moon has only been released for a week and it is a big hit at the box office. What else is there to say about this kind of work?

With such a high reputation in the first part, as long as the quality is good, the second part will definitely make money.

"That's right." Xia Yan heard it and said softly.

The main reason is that the second part of Going to the Moon, "Searching for Paradise", is also a short story that is not very long, which does not fit the fast-paced serialization model of Liuli Book Club.

So after Xia Yan joined Liuli Book Club, he never intended to adapt "Searching for Paradise" into a novel.

Not suitable.

"Then Xia Yan, have you ever thought about taking advantage of the fact that Going to the Moon is now selling well in the Dragon Country film market. Let's cooperate again and make a big deal. Put the production of the second part of Going to the Moon on the agenda." Tang Yuan smiled.

Hearing this, Xia Yan didn't know how to answer for a while.

→

If Going to the Moon really wants to produce the second part, Xia Yan will definitely not let the other party produce it!

Now Xia Yan has his own animation production company. He can do this kind of thing by himself and make money by himself.

But a direct refusal may embarrass Tang Yin a little.

Xia Yan is hesitating.

"Ahem," Tang Yin took the initiative to speak, attracting the attention of the two.

"Dad, stop wasting time."

"What do you mean by wasting time? I'm talking to Xiaoyan about serious matters." Tang Yuan rolled his eyes at his daughter, signaling her not to make trouble.

"I told you that Xia Yan and I are now in a cooperative relationship and are starting a company together, but I didn't tell you what the name of the company he and I founded was, right?" Tang Yin took the initiative to say.

"Yeah, what's wrong? Do you two kids know what the name of the company you opened is meaningful? It's good for young people to start a business. As long as they don't lose too much, it's beneficial to accumulate management experience. I don't even need to understand a company like yours that is just for fun." Tang Yuan asked in confusion.

"The company that Xia Yan and I founded is called "Xia Tang." Tang Yin said at this time.

"Xia Tang? Well, Xia Yan, Tang Yin... The name of this company is simple and straightforward. Wait, Xia Xia Tang?" Tang Yuan thought about it and immediately reacted.

"Xia Tang Animation Production Company?" Tang Yuan blurted out in one sentence.

Although Tang Yuan's "Sugar Man" mainly deals in animation movies and live-action movies, he has naturally heard of the fame of the TV animation Madoka Magica, and he also knows how popular the "Warrior of Love" and his Madoka Magica are.

But now. He quickly figured it out.

"Xiao Yan, you are the author of Magical Girl Madoka Magica, "Warrior of Love"?" Tang Yuan looked at Xia Yan with a strange expression.

"That. Uncle, that's indeed true." Xia Yan paused, then said.

Mistake

Hearing this, Tang Yuan's expression immediately flashed with disappointment.

If Xia Yan is a warrior of love, then he has his own animation production company. If there is a second part of Going to the Moon, then Xia Yan really doesn't need to continue to cooperate with Sugar Man.

But

Tang Yuan looked at his daughter.

How did she dig out a talent like Xia Yan from a place like Nan Province and let Xia Yan cooperate with her?

One of Xia Yan's identities, Yuan Qing, is already outrageous enough, "Warrior of Love"? This is really a big joke.

Is she really a genius?

Tang Yuan looked weird.

With a light sigh, Tang Yuan immediately recognized the facts, and kept the prepared words for purchasing the second script of Xia Yan's trip to the moon in his stomach, and then looked at Xia Yan with a smile.

"Uncle is worrying too much. In this case, let's not talk about work, and have a good meal tonight."

Xia Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

His impression of Tang Yin's father improved greatly.

This man is real, very comfortable to get along with, and he will never drag his feet if he knows that things cannot be done.

Xia Yan drank one glass of wine after another under the warm greeting of Tang Yin's father.

Soon he fell asleep in a daze.

"I say you have done a lot in this year!" Tang Yuan looked at Xia Yan after she fell asleep, and rolled his eyes at his daughter Tang Yin.

The father, daughter and Xia Yan all drank.

But there was no way, Tang Yin's family inherited the gene, and her grandfather won the second place in the drinking competition held in the Magic City area.

This family has a gene for drinking, at least. Their drinking capacity is beyond the imagination of normal people.

Xia Yan's drinking capacity is above average among ordinary people, but he got drunk, while the father and daughter were just warming up and hadn't gotten into the mood yet.

"I'm talking to you, I thought you really wanted me to call Xia Yan to thank him, but I didn't expect you to be so vulgar. You haven't made enough money from the movie To the Moon, and you still want the script adaptation rights for the second part of To the Moon?" Tang Yin responded to her father in the same unpleasant way.

"Haha, childish. Who would complain about too much money?" Tang Yuan sneered, but didn't say much on this topic.

After all, if something can't be done, don't waste time.

Xia Yan has his own animation company. Unless his head is kicked by the door, he will not give the script of the second part of Going to the Moon to his company, Tang Yuan, for production.

"I haven't seen you for a few months, and you have changed a lot. However, since I can't talk about business with you as a friend, then I will talk to you about family matters. You should fight for me and get out of singleness as soon as possible." Tang Yuan poured himself a glass of wine.

"Didn't I say it? I haven't met a suitable man who can match my excellent level." Tang Yin began to use her usual excuses.

"Besides, all the friends around me are girls, and I don't have the opportunity to meet boys!"

"Excellent boys?" Tang Yuan was furious when he heard this. Xia Yan was drunk, and he didn't need to pay attention to his image. His attitude as an old father who was worried about his daughter's marriage was fully revealed. .

"What do you mean by an excellent boy? Isn't Xia Yan, who is lying here and sleeping, excellent enough? Isn't he your opposite-sex friend? How can you still be friends with him after working with him for several years?"

"He is still a little boy, what are you talking about?" Tang Yin's eyes widened.

"Little boy?" Tang Yuan laughed.

"I have never seen a little boy so good."

"And look at you, you were worried that he would be cheated by me during the dinner tonight. What else can you say when you care about him so much?"

"You are really stubborn and annoying. You only urge me to get married when we meet. You were afraid that I would fall in love early when I was studying, and you urged me to get married as soon as I graduated. Do you think I am a god? You hid in the South Province for two years, and now you are still like this when you return to the Magic City." Tang Yin said speechlessly.

"I am 27, Xia Yan is 19, please don't say these things, okay? There is an age gap. It's like no one wants me."

"Hehe, I don't care about these things. You just need to get rid of singleness as soon as possible. You are 27 years old and have never been in love. It's really embarrassing." Tang Yuan said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, Tang Yin was too lazy to talk to him. She stood up and walked to Xia Yan's side. She put Xia Yan's arm on her shoulder, and with a little effort, she helped Xia Yan up and prepared to leave.

Although it was a bit difficult to help someone in high heels, she usually did yoga. Although her weight was standard, she still had strength.

Seeing this, Tang Yuan was stunned at first, and then his expression changed.

Looking at his daughter's behavior that did not shy away from Xia Yan at all.

He really didn't expect that his daughter who hated contact with boys would be willing to walk with a man half-supported like this?

He said those words just now as a joke, but now, the more he thinks about it, the more wrong it is.

This subconscious behavior can best reflect a person's psychology.

What's going on?
