CFJTM Chapter 137. He willingly stayed in his cage.

TN: Glad to report that there have been HIGHS and lows in my work experience 😀

Han Cheng looked at his excited appearance, supported his thighs, and asked curiously, “how much did you sell it for to be so happy?”

After he said this, Shen Qingshu reflected that he had not asked for specific details.

“I’ll ask.” He kissed Han Cheng, and then came down from him.

Han Cheng watched him run away, thought about it, and followed him.

Shen Qingshu is replying to the editor.

In drunk dreams, light up the oil lamp and admire the sword: [Something happened yesterday. I saw your message just now. I have the intention to sell it. Who is the other party and how much is the price?]

After he asked, Han Cheng came in and sat down beside him.

“Why did you follow me?” Shen Qingshu asked him.

“I’m afraid you’ll suffer a loss., so I’ll help you check.” Han Cheng said, “how much do such novels usually sell for?”

“There’s not a definite price.” Shen Qingshu said, “some authors are very famous, and books are also very famous. They can sell for tens of millions. Some authors are not famous, and books are not famous. Only able to sell for hundreds of thousands per novel.”

He also calmed down a bit when he said, “I belong to the latter, which is estimated to be no more than a hundred thousand.”

“So little?” Han Cheng was shocked.

Seeing Shen Qingshu so happy, he thought he would get tens of millions.

“Then why were you so excited just now? This is not as much as you earned from being a spokesperson, let alone filming.”

“You don’t understand.” Shen Qingshu explained to him, “it’s my job to write and film. Everyone liking my role, is the affirmation of my acting and makes me very happy. If my readers like my novel characters, this is the affirmation of my writing. But if you want to stand at the top of these two industries, either you act and win awards, or you write and win awards.”

“Online articles rarely win awards, so the copyright has become a kind of affirmation. When I was filming with Bai Xuege before, I envied that the other party’s novels could be adapted into the current tv drama, so I also wrote a campus romance, hoping that mine could also be sold. As a result, you saw, there was no movement.”

“But for this novel, I didn’t have any expectations. I happened to recieve inspiration, so I wrote it. surprisingly, it was chosen. Of course, I was happy. This is my unexpected joy. Do you understand?”

Han Cheng seems to understand but not understand. For a person like him who can earn hundreds of thousands easily, he really doesn’t think there is anything to be happy about suddenly getting tens of thousands. But Shen Qingshu is happy. So he thinks it’s good.

“Congratulations.” Han Cheng smiled.

Shen Qingshu happily turned to hold his face and kissed him on the mouth. “When my money comes in, I’ll buy you a car.”

Han Cheng was surprised. “So great?”

Shen Qingshu nodded happily.

He has been popular for more than half a year, and now he has no shortage of hundreds of thousands. He is happy about this matter, so he also wants to make Han Cheng happy.

“But it’s estimated that I can only buy you a car worth one to two million yuan. It can’t be too expensive.” Shen Qingshu gave him a vaccination.

For this 1-2 million car, it is estimated that the copyright can only cover a fraction, and the majority will have to be paid from his filming salary card. However, he is really embarrassed to give Ha Cheng a car worth hundreds of thousands, he had to add more. After all, this is his driver.

“Okay.” Han Cheng hugged him and said, “even if you buy me a bike, I will like it.”

Shen Qingshu laughed instantly. “I can’t bear to part with you. I still like the way you drive.”

“Let’s continue tonight!” Han Cheng said immediately.

Shen Qingshu: …

“A gasoline driven car running on a four-wheel road! Why are you so dirty? Are you a mango? You are completely yellow.” ¹ 

Han Cheng laughed and kissed him. “Who made me love my wife deeply?”

Shen Qingshu: …

Shen Qingshu feels that his recent love talk is really unfiltered! You are great!

He turned to look at the computer again, and his editor finally finished his work. He replied to him: “It’s someone from Liuguang culture who offered 600,000 yuan. If you agree, the platform will receive 30% according to the contract. Do you think it’s ok?”

Shen Qingsghu calculated that it was about 420,000 yuan, that was before tax. After tax, it needs to be reduced further.

Goldfish: [this is the highest price given by the other party. You can think about it again, but you also know that our website is not a big website. It’s good to have someone buy movie and television copyrights. In addition, this is your first time selling copyrights, so this price is actually not bad, but it’s also a major decision after all, so it depends on your wishes.]

Shen Qingshu agrees.

He himself expected a similar price, and the editor was right. The price of his first copyright sale will not be very high. Only if the film’s performance is good will his copyright fee rise with the tide.

But following this train of thought, Shen Qingshu can’t help thinking about Liuguang culture. Has this company ever produced any works? How come he doesn’t have any impression?

Shen Qingshu checked on the Internet. Sure enough, it is a small company. It has only released a few online dramas and IP(originally novel/manhua) online movies. Shen Qingshu opened relevant entries and looked at them. He didn’t know the leading actor, and the posters were not beautifully made.

If they bought his novel, it should be made into an IP online movie.

Shen Qingshu was a little reluctant.

After all, it is the novel he has painstakingly written. The budget of IP online movies is only so much, and very few can be made well, with most of them ending up shoddy.

Han Cheng watched him puff up his cheeks unconsciously after reading the message from the editor. He advised him, “or forget it, the money is too little, and it is not worth it.”

“It’s not about money.” Shen Qingshu held his chin loosely. “I was wondering what would happen if this company bought the copyright?”

He turned to look at Han Cheng. “For my son, I hope the production quality will be high, but you can see from the posters, the online dramas and online movies produced by this company are not very good, so I’m a little hesitant .”

Hearing what he said, Han Cheng simply said, “then don’t sell it. You put so much effort into writing this. Why shouldn’t you find it a good director, screenwriter and actors?”

“That’s too difficult.” Shen Qingshu leaned his head against Han Cheng’s shoulder. “There are few reliable teams. How can it be my turn? Even if I don’t sell it to them today, maybe the next one will be similar.”

“Can’t you shoot it yourself?” Han Cheng wondered, “if you are worried that these companies that bought your novels will not be reliable, you can build a reliable team by yourself?”

Shen Qingshu: ? ? ?

“What are you thinking?” Shen Qingshu felt that he came up with visionary ideas. “I’m just an actor. How can I build a reliable team?”

“Don’t you just go find a director, screenwriter and other actors?”

Han Cheng looked at him as if he were saying something very ordinary, “Although I am not in your circle, if filming is compared to a project, then when I care about this project very much and I don’t trust anyone to take charge of it, I will assign myself to be the person in charge of this project. All the personnel required for this project, such as R & D personnel, publicity team, etc., will be selected by myself, and the most suitable ones will be selected to join my project team. In this way, won’t the project progression give me the greatest degree of peace of mind? “

“But…”

“Isn’t that the same with your filming?” Han Cheng asked him, “you can find a director you think is suitable, an actor who understands your script and conforms to the characters. In this way, you can rest assured.”

“Do you want me to be a producer?” Shen Qingshu said in surprise, “I can’t. I haven’t done it before.”

“Every producer has a first time project.”

Shen Qingshu was stunned. He looked at Han Cheng. In a moment, it seemed that someone had pushed open a door he had never thought of. The door was bright, but the light was too harsh. He watched the crazy influx of light, and his heart beat fast, but he dared not go out.

“What are you thinking?” Han Cheng asked warmly.

Shen Qingshu looked at him. There was a strong light in his eyes, but it was instantly smothered by a flash of darkness.

“What if I fail?”

Han Cheng laughed. “Although I don’t know how you make movies, I can probably know that TV and movies need investment from others. The more investment, the better. I’ll give you one hundred million yuan, take it to shoot your novel, it will be my birthday gift. Happy birthday!”

Shen Qingshu looked at him in shock and shook his head almost reflexively. “How can this work?”

“It doesn’t matter. After this month, Pinghui will start to make profits again. At that time, you can take Pinghui’s dividends and support your acting and literary career.”

Shen Qingshu: ! ! !

Shen Qingshu looked at him in disbelief, and his heart throbbed wildly.

He suddenly felt that maybe Han Cheng had thought about all this long ago, so he would help him get Pinghui and make Pinghui into his backhand.

An author’s inspiration can dry up, an actor will have a bad day, but if the company does not collapse, the shares will not lose value.

So Han Cheng said that he will help him manage Pinghui. As long as Han Cheng was still there and his subordinates were still there, his interests will always be maximised.

Those jobs that had nothing to do with each other unconsciously merged into a line at this moment. Both his passivity as an author and his passivity as an actor became active at this moment because of Ping Hui, the company that was assiduously given to him by Han Cheng.

He doesn’t have to choose one script after another that he doesn’t like, he doesn’t have to wait for others to like his work. Be able to adapt and develop, without needing to wait for others to like his work.

He can make his own decisions, write his own works and act his own works.

If he likes a story and no one writes it, he will write it himself.

If he likes a character that no one wants to shoot, he will shoot it himself.

His life seemed to suddenly light up.

The door not far away opened, shining brightly. The light hurt his eyes, but he also wanted to go out and have a look.

To see the scenery he has never seen, to see the future he has never thought of.

Maybe there will be failures and pains, but it doesn’t matter. He can pay for himself.

He can bear it.

“You’re right.” Shen Qingshu said excitedly, “I can be a producer, find a suitable director, screenwriter and actors. I can try. If I fail, I will withdraw. But if I succeed, I will have a new identity and a new future.”

Han Cheng smiled and nodded, touching his head. “Well, you are still young, and you have many possibilities.”

“Yes.” Shen Qingshu laughed and hugged Han Cheng.

He feels that Han Cheng is something beautiful he has never encountered. Not only is he his lover, but also a guide to his way forward. He always walks in front of him, so he can show him more scenery and tell him that it’s okay. I’m here, so don’t worry.

He didn’t want Pinghui and didn’t compete for it. He said he couldn’t be the president, then Han Cheng smiled and said to him, “I’m here.”

When trying to be a producer, he didn’t dare to try. He said he couldn’t be a producer. Han Cheng smiled and said to him, it’s okay. I can pay for you.

He led him forward step by step, bringing him to see the wider world. He gave him a small cage, but only locked his heart in that cage, pushing him into the vast world. From then on, the world in his cage became the mortal world under his feet. He could not and would not leave.

He willingly stayed in his cage.

TN: Here come the tears again, it’s so wonderful to see how HC isn’t just giving SQS what he wants like other domineering presidents. He’s making opportunities for SQS and saying I’ll always be here, you just need to shine brilliantly … (๑˃̣̣̥᷄∧˂̣̣̥᷅ )
