Chapter 61

“Hello, we are sincerely interested in purchasing the rights to ‘Those Sorrowful Cyan-hued Years’.

We’re giving you two cooperation schemes.

One is a three-year copyright term, which costs four hundred thousand yuan, tax included.

The other is a partnership development mode, with free authorization.

Fifteen percent of the future product development revenue will be yours.”

Jiang Xu didn’t expect such favorable conditions from the other party.

He knew of Qinghe Entertainment Company.

It is among the top ten in the domestic industry.

Of course, not immediately, but within ten years.

Jiang Xu vaguely remembered that Qinghe eventually went public, with a peak market value of nearly ten billion.

The reputation of this company was indeed excellent.

There seemed to be no major disputes between the actors or employees and the company.

However, Jiang Xu did not immediately agree. He asked, “I would like to know how long it takes for your company to go from initiating a project to going online?”

If it takes too long, it might be better to take the money instead.

Liu Yue said, “We plan to use this novel to support newcomers.

Time is money, so, from initiation to going online, it takes at most two months.”

Work of this youth and campus theme has quite low filming requirements.

Many scenes are indoor and can be completed with a backdrop.

It mainly depends on the actors and the storyline.

Two months is more than enough.

If it only takes 2 months, then taking a gamble might be promising.

There is a possibility to achieve higher earnings.

If the film is a hit, the income would be considerable.

Moreover.

If it is really successful, there is a high probability it would be made into a TV drama.

By then, the earnings would be even higher.

That would be like having a goose laying golden eggs constantly.

Jiang Xu: “OK, then I would choose the second type of cooperation.

But there are a few points. One is that I only sell movie rights.

And, if you want to make a TV drama in the future.

I will choose the cooperative model, and this also has to be written in the contract.”

Liu Yue thought for a moment and said, “OK. That’s settled then.

We will send someone over right away to sign the contract with you, and will contact you before noon tomorrow.”

Jiang Xu: “Alright, we’ll talk more about it then.”

After the call ended, Jiang Xu went to the kitchen.

It was past five o’clock in the afternoon.

An Nuonuo was preparing the two chickens she brought in the morning.

The kitchen at home has three modes.

One is gas, one is electric, and another is for wood-burning.

This is because Jiang Xu’s father enjoyed eating bread baked over a wood fire.

So, they specifically retained it.

One chicken was wrapped in lotus leaves, covered in a layer of mud, and placed into the wood-burning stove to roast.

The other chicken was divided into two.

Half of it was used for chicken soup, and the other half was cut into pieces for barbecuing.

An Nuonuo was a good cook with efficient hands and feet.

She was incredibly pretty.

Her figure was perfect, and her character was obedient and loveable.

Bearing a never-ending wealth in the future.

So, who could afford such a girl?

Oh, I see. It turns out it’s me. Well, that’s fine.

An Nuonuo turned her head and glanced at Jiang Xu, “It will be ready soon. You can wait outside for a while.”

“OK,” Jiang Xu smiled and said, “I’ll go check if there’s a delivery outside. You take care of the house.”

“OK… wait, this isn’t my house.”

An Nuonuo looked up and found that Jiang Xu had already left.

A thin layer of blush spread over her delicate face.

She looked strikingly inviting, extremely appetizing.

She stomped her foot lightly, causing a ripple of unrest, “Ugh~”

She arrived at the post office.

Jiang Xu found the contract that Story Club had mailed over.

He opened it on the spot and read through the contract.

After making sure there were no problems, he signed it and then mailed it back.

When he got home, Fu Yanjie and Wang Xiaoyuan had also returned.

Fu Yanjie was like a sticky bug, following Wang Xiaoyuan wherever she went.

His intentions were too obvious.

“Wow, Nuonuo, your cooking is just too fragrant,”

Wang Xiaoyuan didn’t hold back her praise of An Nuonuo.

She had no idea how many times she had inwardly chided her own brother.

What a useless man!

Such an excellent girl, and you can’t even win her over.

An Nuonuo had already finished preparing several dishes.

The air was filled with a rich, tantalizing aroma.

The chicken soup had been perfectly stewed, its color golden.

The barbeque and roasted spawn were flavorful and enticing.

The sight of it made all three of them hungry.

They couldn’t wait to dig in.

An Nuonuo served soup for everyone.

Jiang Xu took a sip, it was deliciously sweet, lingering on his tongue.

The meat was also roasted just right, crispy and tender.

It was a pity that they were underage.

With a can of beer, it would have been a top-tier feast.

Wang Xiaoyuan disregarded her image and began to eat.

With each bite, she praised An Nuonuo and inwardly cursed Jun Yue a little more.

She felt deeply frustrated.

Why can’t such an excellent girl be my old Wang’s daughter-in-law?

An Nuonuo was praised so much that she felt embarrassed.

Wang Xiaoyuan took a bite of the chicken leg and then said to Jiang Xu, “I won’t help you tomorrow.”

Before Jiang Xu could reply, Fu Yanjie seemed anxious, “Why, sister?.”

“Ah…” Wang Xiaoyuan sigh out a long sigh, “I originally came here to help and to spy on Jiang Xu and find his weaknesses to exploit.

I thought I could help my useless brother win Nuonuo over.

But after spending a few days together, I realized that Jun Yue is absolutely no match for Jiang Xu.

As long as Jiang Xu is alive and well, Jun Yue doesn’t stand a chance.

So, there’s no need for me to stick around.”

An Nuonuo’s face was bright red.

Although it was a bit embarrassing, being praised so publicly by Wang Xiaoyuan still made her extremely shy.

“Sister Xiaoyuan, please stay a little longer.

Jiang Xu has many flaws and weaknesses, I can tell you all of them.”

Jiang Xu: “???”

Alright then, so you’re just going to betray your brother like this.

Wang Xiaoyuan shook her head, “No need, I’ve already given up. Let’s hurry up and eat.”

“Oh.” Fu Yanjie’s mood went down.

The spawn was completely devoured by the four of them.

Everyone was stuffed.

Even though Fu Yanjie’s mood was not good, he ate the most.

After taking a short break, An Nuonuo started cleaning up the dishes and utensils in the kitchen.

Feeling guilty for only eating and not helping, Wang Xiaoyuan went into the kitchen to help.

Jiang Xu patted Fu Yanjie’s shoulder, “You two are not right for each other.

There are many gentle and beautiful girls at school, there’s no need to hang yourself on one tree.”

Fu Yanjie clenched his fists, “Who said that? I can feel it, Sister Xiaoyuan is also interested in me.”

“???” Jiang Xu had a full face of question marks, “Where did you get that idea?”

Fu Yanjie: “This morning in the kitchen.

She said to me, ‘Little Fu, you’re so cute.’

She said I was diligent and hardworking, how could she say that if she doesn’t like me?”

Jiang Xu’s forehead vein twitched, “Go cure your love-ridden brain!”
